Back to reality, the man by the name of Mick, gets thrown from the head of Carmen, like it was some kind of ghost who left the soul of a body. The throwing was so hard, the man fell on the ground and hit the door of the office. He gets up onto his feet, he looks at Carmen, who is all tied up and Navylian, the leader of Team 4, is sitting next to the body of the carman, who is still unconscious for the next hour.
Navylian gets up from his chair, he walks toward Mick, and asks him if he is alright.
"Guess I have kind of lost touch with fighting," says Mick to Navylian, as he gets up with the help of Navylian. "The beast got a good hit that will make Carmen's challenge easier."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Their green veins are vital for them to regenerate. Cutting their veins means a slow regeneration of these beasts." he looked at Carmen. "She can handle it from here. When the time comes, call me to lock the spirit of that bastard and keep the powers in his body."
"I will," says Navylian to Mick.

For the next nine days, nothing interesting in particular happened to Carmen and to the other members of Team 4. But then again, for them, nothing particular is classified as hunting down zombies on the Cambridge campus, and not those "zombies" from college, the ones depicted either in African folklore or the ones in movies. They have done some missions, but Carmen did not participate in any of them because she was put under the care of Mick, who was training her in the ways of fighting the monster inside of her brain who will live for the next 100 years and he is giving his super abilities to her.
The mission number on board has been thrown back to zero as it is happening every 20th date of the month. And in those nine days, on the date of twenty-twenty missions so far, these twenty missions were mostly to kill fugitive individuals from the Second Dimension and capture them, then send them to the second dimension where their fates will be decided.
Kyle, being on the front of the scoreboard, did about nine missions, while Lucian has done only seven missions, Louis has completed two missions, Alexia only one mission, and the rest of one mission was made by Navylian, and this mission he did was yesterday when he had to exterminate a thug who snatched pictures of their base. The thug got eliminated by Navylian, but in a non-violet way. The Mage threw the thug into the second dimension, where he was most likely eaten alive by humongous birds like eagles.
Anyway, now, because the time of the battle has come, Carmen, together with the rest of her Team 4 members, and Mick, are in the interior of the prison floor, where Carmen is tied up on a chair with silver chains and next to her is Mick, who is sitting on a lotus position and he looks at Carmen, as she is accepting the fate of hers.
"Are you ready for this?" asks Navylian to Carmen.
"Yes," responds Carmen, who is definitely ready to fight the inner beast of hers. She looks over to Mick, who is holding a wooden puppet in his left hand.
"Remember what I thought of you in the past?" asked Mick to Carmen.
Carmen shook in approval to Mick, which was enough to make him feel a little better than he is now. The girl remembers how Mick has taught her everything she needs to know in order to fight inside her head with the Vewolf beast. She trained her skills in fighting, such as normal combat brawls that can be used in street fighting, helped her to create a mind weapon such as a spear, her favourite weapon, to have the upper hand in that fight, and had a very few special skills that could help her in this fight.
"Remember. When the beast shows the first signs of exhaustion and is on the verge of dying, you approach it, and you have to touch the forehead of the beast and say the incantation. Do you remember the incantation, right?"
"Sombrus mayaka aha yalak ldaf yjiui uiuiu alhaman!" says Carmen in a weird accent as she said that which to normal individuals from the first dimension sounds gibberish. But for the second-dimension beasts, this is an instant to throw away the bad influence of the individuals who are like Carmen, half-and-half, from the second dimension.
"Good. Now go. And be careful." says Mick to Carmen, who is already closing her eyes and goes inside of her head, doing the same meditation technique she has done over and over again to the training of Mick.
