Luna and her team started driving once again. Kiro successfully hacked few organization's that had huge warehouses full of weapons. He was guiding Shawn towards warehouse.
"What are you thinking Luna?" Black questioned. He noticed Luna zoning out. Her brows were tensed and she was biting her lips harshly. She still didn't answered him. He was going to ask again but he saw blood trickling down from Luna's punctured lips. His heart ache. He extended his hand towards her lips and wiped off the blood. Luna back off unconsciously.
"Uh.. why? W..What?" She asked after coming back to her senses.
"I asked what you were thinking but you were zoned out. You were biting your lips while doing that and ended up injuring it. Don't do it next time." Black said in stern voice. He looked at her with straight face.
"Um.. I won't do it."
"What are you thinking?" Kyle asked.
"Uh... I.. something was wrong there. There was a eight eyed spider, 3 feet tall, at sacral chakra stage yet he didn't attacked us. Was it scared of something? Someone more stronger than him?" Luna said more to herself.
' Did I forgot something? ' she thought.
"What if there is a eight eyed spider more bigger than him or at Higher stage than him?" Ashley spoke.
"No... It's not possible... It's starting phase of apocalypse. There will be less level creatures. Shadows and eight eyed spiders at root chakra and sacral chakra. Other creatures are yet to arrive. What is happening? Did I not notice other creatures before?"
Shawn stopped car. Everyone looked at him. They reached their first destination. Luna got out of car following others. She looked at the huge warehouse and forgot about the creatures. Her face lit up. Others felt relief. Their Luna was back to normal. If they could take all her pain, her worry away then they would have did it.
Luna went in with others after putting their car in space. The warehouse was dimly lit. Luna summoned fire in her hand. She can control the flamws of fire so it wouldn't react with gun powder. She looked at the huge racks and walked towards them.
"Why are we collecting weapons if we have enough?" Kiro asked.
"Well, we need weapons for survival from creatures but sometimes the impact of their power will be so strong that the weapon might break. To avoid scarcity of weapons, we are collecting them in advance. Better be safe than sorry. We gonna collect weapons from this warehouse only."
"Okay Miss. Alien." Kiro said in army voice.
Luna focused on collecting various types of weapons and adding them in her weaponry storage room in space. Others were helping her to collect weapons that they can handle very well. After being satisfied with the weapons, she left from there with others. There were still weapons left in warehouse.
As Luna stepped out of warehouse, she heard rattling sound. She stopped in her track.
Hissssssss
Luna started breathing heavily, her body shivered. There were goosebumps on her skin. Shawn noticed Luna standing at entrance, he gestured others to stop and go back to her.
"What happened Miss Alien? Who are you waiting for?" Kiro asked.
"D... Did y..you heard so.. something? It... It's no.. not possible." Luna whispered to herself.
There was another hissing sound with someone slithering in slow pace. Everyone stood beside Luna. There was indeed something crawling around the trees. A snake?
"It must be a snake. Since it's forest area, there must be lot of reptiles here." Ashley concluded.
"Yeah you are right. It must be reptile. What else it can be?" Luna comforted herself.
Hisssssssss
Luna saw huge white tail.
"N.. no.. How i.. is it possible?" Luna shrieked in disbelief.
' It's not possible. Apocalypse has just begun. It's just a second day then how? How did demon serpent appear so soon? How?' She thought.

Flashback ~
I was very tired of fighting. I am not a good fighter but I learnt fighting during apocalypse. I need to collect some supplies for mom, dad and Emily. There must be some misunderstanding, or else they won't be so harsh with me. When I will meet them, I will clear everything. But where are they? Are they doing good? Are they safe? NoMy head is hurting by all these thoughts.
I walked straight into abandoned house and took whatever I can. They must be waiting for me. They must be worried. I need to search them soon. I don't know how did I managed to survive with such weak powers. But I have to continue surviving.
'Hissssssssssss'
I stood at my spot and took out gun. I carefully scanned my surroundings. Is it the the demon serpent everyone was talking about? I only heard rumours about it. They are extremely cunning and can turn into human. As I was thinking about it, something slithered around me. I turned towards the sound direction.
'Hissssssssssss'
I clenched gun with one hand and dagger with another. I took few steps ahead.
"Hisss.... What a lowlyyy being...sssss! You are sss so weak. Do you think that ssss dagger and the what you call it.. the sssss gun? Hisss.... Do you think it can stop me? You are dimwit!" A voice boomed from around all direction.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Stupid girl.... I am the sssss strongest demon ss hisss serpent. Hisss.... " He shouted. "Your life is so miserable." Demon serpent continued and showed himself. It was huge like anaconda. He rattled his tail which was spread so long that I could only hear the sound. He glared at me then transformed into beautiful human.
"You are so naive to think that a lowly being at root chakra can defeat me?" He chuckled.
I glanced at him. The pressure around him is too strong for me. Indeed, he is more stronger than me. He can kill me any second like crushing a small any.
"Your life is so miserable. Your family abandoned you, used you. You hate your birth parents. They treated you worse yet you want to protect them? Humans are so stupid and very selfish." He Said. His face had a mocking smile.
"Shutup! It's not true." I scowled. I know they love me.
"Mind your language peasant! I can kill you anytime. You all humans are pests and I will kill each one of you. I will kill you too. It's not difficult for me to kill a lowly weakling like you." He transformed back to his huge serpent body.
Is this my end? Will he kill me? I shivered. No. I don't want to be killed. I still need to meet my family and clear any misunderstandings. I can't just die here. I need to think a way to get out of here.
"How did you understood about my family?" I asked while stalling time and thinking about escape plan.
"It's.....hisssss one of my power, to know past ssssss about my enemies." He snickered.
"Wait! How about I kill you with ssssss.....your loved ones? Won't it be so painful for you? Hissssss.....I love to play with my prey. I will kill your family members....And torture you ssss....to death." He wrapped his body around me, slowly strangling me. It was so tight that I could feel shortage of air. My skin, muscles, bones everything were aching. I heard a snap. One of my bone snapped. I screamed in pain. I tried wriggling out of grip but it was impossible. The demon serpent laughed at my struggle. My heart clenched and I started shivering in pain. I can't do anything. I can't save myself, how would I able to protect my family? I failed myself.
"I have decided pest. Hisssss.... I will kill you after killing your parents. I will leave you now. Ssssss.....It's play time rat. Hisss....Go run for your life, save them if you can." He released me and glared at me for one last time. He left.
I started running out of forest. Suddenly, I fainted due to lack of strength and too much pressure on my body. Before fainting , I saw a figure running towards me.
"LUNAAAA!!"
