Part 0: Beginning of the end…
Arc 3: The Rogue Reaper.
(It's been a month since Sam started his training with Miyamoto Musashi, his form and technique has improves as well as mastering his Magica Elementa; Grimm Fire, a fire based Magica which is easy to control, it does heavy amounts of damage, it can't be put out using any normal form of water, aside from that, this Elementa has no other unique catch or trick, or does it…?)
(4:54 in the morning)
(Sam is having a sparring match with Miyamoto next to the river)
(Miyamoto is using a wooden Katana and Sam is using The Rogue Scythe)
(While The Rogue Scythe poses more of a threat when it hits the target, it can be tricky to land a shot with the curved blade)
(Miyamoto keeps countering and deflecting the attacks from The Rogue Scythe)
(Miyamoto dodges one of the attacks and suddenly appears behind Sam and readies an attack)
(Sam deflects the Attack, throws Miyamoto's sword out of his hand and brings the Scythe up to Miyamoto's head)
(Miyamoto looks like he submits, but suddenly takes out his Tanto and brings it to Sam's throat)
(With both their weapons at each other's vital points they call it a tie)
Sam: Tie?
Miyamoto: Haha, tie. Continue exercising now, this was a fun sparring match.
(Miyamoto walks back to the Minka)
(Sam continues with his daily exercises)
(15km run next to the River)
(Eating a healthy breakfast at 6:30)
(Exercising until 8:00)
(Meditating until 9:00)
(An hour's rest)
(Practicing his fighting style)
(Another 7 hours of training until 18:00)
(Resting the last bit of the day)
(Sam goes to sleep at 21:00 every day, holding close onto Isabel)
(Sam spars with Miyamoto again)
(This training cycle repeats every day, including Sundays)
(One night Sam is sitting in his and Isabel's room, writing in his Journal: "September 16th 2009. I've been training with Musashi-san for a month now; I'm feeling stronger every time. Isabel… I'll do everything to protect you, no matter how far I have to push myself. We'll go to Point Pleasant soon I promise…)
(Sam closes and locks the journal)
(Sam goes to sleep)
(The next morning)
(Sam wasn't woken up by Miyamoto this morning)
Sam: Hmm? Why didn't he…? Where's Isabel?
(Sam stands up and goes out the room)
(Sam sees Miyamoto talking with Isabel busy packing bags)
Sam: What's going on?
Miyamoto: Sam… Haha, it's simple, you're done with your training, and I taught you everything I could. You're ready.
Sam: But, I'm still too weak.
Miyamoto: A Magica level of 3 isn't really weak. Sam, I taught you everything I know. That doesn't mean you can't continue growing.
Sam: Musashi-san… it's been fun training with you. Until we meet again.
Miyamoto: Sayōnara.
Isabel: Hey, Sam! The Magica Stone's fully recharged, I've set the coordinates, to what I hope is Point Pleasant.
Sam: Let's go then...
(Sam picks up their bags and Isabel readies the spell)
(They get surrounded by Magica Runes on the floor and in the flash of a light their out of Miyamoto's Minka)
Miyamoto: Goodluck, let us see what Fate has in store for you two.
(The Teleportation spell makes them end up next to a road, near a forest)
(Because it was 8:30 in Japan, in America it is 18:30)
Sam: (Confused) Umm. This doesn't look like Point Pleasant to me...
Isabel: I could've sworn I put in the right coordinates!!! Ah! I must I've messed up!
Sam: Hey, don't blame yourself. We can't be that far from town. (Sam spots an abandoned car in the middle of the road) And hey, there's a rather not suspicious looking car right there, doors are open too and the keys inside...
Isabel: But Sam... haha, well you know what they say "One man's trash is another's treasure".
Sam: But, none of us know how to drive...
Isabel: I'll drive, I took a few lessons back in the day.
(Sam and Isabel get in the car. Sam places their bags on the back seat)
Isabel: (Starts the car) Alright umm, how do we get there?
Sam: I don't know, okay just follow the road until you get there, it has to lead somewhere. I'm gonna sleep for a bit more, I'm still tired. Wake me if you need something.
(Sam falls asleep as Isabel is driving and Isabel throws a blanket over him)
(20 minutes later)
(Isabel suddenly stops the car)
Sam: (Hits his head on the glove combartment) Oww!!! The hell!?
Isabel: (With a frightened tone in her voice) Ss- Sam. In front of the car.
(Sam looks the front of the car and sees a truly terrifying sight only being lighting up by the car headlights; a Dark ominous figure crouching facing the other way of the road)
(The Creature turns his head and stares at Sam and Isabel with its Deep, Bright red eyes, red like you've never seen red before.)
(The Creature seems to be standing over a dead bloody dog, almost as if the dog was its dinner)
Sam: Isabel... step on the gas.
Isabel: Like in reverse?
Sam: No, just drive forwards.
(Isabel drives, pressing down on the pedal full force)
(The Creature reveals its set of 10-foot long wings and flies into the air before Isabel hits it with the car)
Isabel: Huh! Bastard's gone!!! Do you see him out there?
(Sam climbs out the window and looks around)
Sam: (Quickly climbs back inside) Umm... how fast are you going?
Isabel: 110mph... why?
Sam: Things right above us...
Isabel: How!!!
Sam: Got a plan...
(Sam concentrates and summons the Rogue Scythe above the car)
(The Scythe hits the Creature in the back, but the Creature shakes it off)
(The Creature screams in pain, it almost sounds like a mouse getting stepped on)
(Sam catches the Scythe falling next to window)
(Sam climbs out the window to look for the creature, but it's gone only a small trace of it's blood is on the hood of the car)
Isabel: Sam, get in here before that thing picks you up and flies you away.
(They reach the entrance of the town and the Creature seems to have disappeared)
Isabel: Haha, we made it Sam. Point Pleasant, West Virginia. We can live a calm life now, the three of us.
Sam: Three?
Isabel: Yes. You, me, the child. One happy family.
(Sams face sparks with joy. He can now find Peace...)
(That night they checked into a hotel in town and Sam does his research on what they encountered earlier)
Sam: (Scrolling through websites on his computer with Isabel sitting next to him) Hmm... so it seems we did have a run-in with the fabled, Mothman. I mean everything checks out... "Black creature with 10-foot long wingspan and pure red eyes, spotted on local farm.", "Has the dreaded Motman returned to reign terror?", "Has the Mothman returned to foreshadow another tragic event?", "Dog goes missing, reportedly stolen by a Bat out of Hell..." and haha my favorite "Giant Black pigeon breaks tornado siren, to prevent alien invasion warnings..."
Isabel: So what do you think we d-...
(Sam seems to stop hearing Isabel talking and he looks out the window to see the same unknown man with the red cloak walk by, last time he saw him was one year ago.)
Isabel: Hey, Sam! You hearing me?
Sam: G- give me a minute.
(Sam stands up and walks towards the door. He opens it and looks around, no sign of the man in sight)
Isabel: (Holds onto Sam's arm) Sam, you alright? You haven't acted like this, since a year ago.
Sam: I'm fine, just thought I saw someone of outside. Thought he might've been sent by the Court.
Isabel: Oh, just tell me next time, please?
Sam: Okay. Hahaha, let's go rest for a bit, the second the sun rises we hit the town and yeah... the Mothman festival is tomorrow, we can go to that!! This... this really is a new start for us!
Isabel: Yeah... so what do you want to talk about before sunrise?
Sam: There's so much, let's start with the baby...
(Sam and Isabel continued to talk with each other through the night. Peace has been found, may these two kind souls rest in their new life...)
