A month passed by after the tragedy during the reunion party. The gunshots sounds pop through barriers of the hospital walls. Azenith's soulless body lies on the bed. Rain starts pouring hard outside. Thunder strikes. The sounds of water dripping from the faucet clashes with the sink. Azenith moves her fingers as thunder strikes outside the hospital window. Her eyes shut tightly as she tosses herself on the bed. A loud thunder sound strikes through the window. Azenith wakes up, breathing heavily. Jamie and Leilani look at her and hug her.
"Azenith! Oh my god, you're alive!" Jamie exclaimed.
"Wait what?"
Azenith pats herself down and looks at herself in the mirror. "I am alive. But how?" Leilani touches Azenith's tail. She jumped and looked at Leilani.
"Mommy, you have a tail."
"And ears like a leopard," Jamie said. Azenith's eyes widened.
"Shit! Now I look like a humanoid cat."
"A cute one."
"Jamie, not now."
Jamie chuckles and kisses her cheek. "Are you ready to go? I have plans on going out to dinner tonight."
"Tonight?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Jamie. Do you not realize what I look like right now? I- cover Leilani's ears."
Jamie covers Leilani's ears. Azenith continues to talk. "I look like a fucking furry!"
"Okay, calm down. There might be a way to hide your ears and tail."
"Hopefully there is."
"Yeah." Jamie said and uncovers Leilani's ears. Azenith got out of bed and the family left the hospital. Azenith walks by other rooms seeing other power physicians recovering dead bodies from the reunion.
She thinks to herself, "Is this what the doctors do if people die in Vegas that have powers?"
Jamie looks at Azenith.
"Are you alright hon?" Jamie asks.
"I'm okay."
The family got into the car and drove back home. Later in the evening, Jamie walks downstairs, carrying his jacket on his shoulders. Azenith tries putting on a beanie to hide her cat ears and tucks her tail in her dress. She walks downstairs looking defeated.
"This isn't going to work. I look like a crazy person."
She takes off the beanie and her tail rolls out of her dress. She sighs and sits on the bar stool in the kitchen. Jamie kisses her cheek and hugs her.
"I'm sorry, Az." Jamie said. "I think you look beautiful with your cat-like powers." Leilani walks down the stairs and hugs Azenith's tail. "See? Leilani likes it!"
Azenith breathes and smiles. "Alright. I'll try." Jamie kisses Azenith excitedly.
"ALRIGHT!" Jamie grabs his keys and runs out the door. "You guys are ready?!" Azenith and Leilani walk out the door and get in the car. Jamie gets in the car and drives off. Miles away, the family drives towards the strip.
"Aw man, where's Caesar's Palace?" Jamie asks.
"Did you put in Caesar's Palace in the GPS?"
"No, because I thought you would remember where it is? Also I wondered if I remembered where it was."
Azenith sighs and closes her eyes. Jamie looks at Azenith.
"Are you alright? You don't seem like yourself?"
"I'm just tired. I didn't want to go out after seeing my friends die right now."
"You could've stayed home, I would've understood."
"It's ok, I need to get out anyways." Azenith looks out of the window. A gunshot sound pops through her vision. She jumps and closes her eyes quickly from the sound.
"No...No... Damnit."
Azenith starts shaking. Jamie wraps her arm around her.
"It's ok." Jamie kisses her.
"How is it ok when I'm going to see you die soon?!"
Jamie's eyes widen, the whole car is silent.
"I-I'm going to die soon?" Jamie asks. Azenith nods her head. "I don't believe it."
"Oh my god- Jamie listen. Remember when we talked about the murder in Tonopah and went through a coma after having vision comas that was so bad?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Last month. Did you get a call from the police Saturday night?"
"Wait- hold up. Is this the day you left for the reunion party and never came back?"
"Yeah. My vision predicted it."
Jamie clenches the steering wheel.
"I might not come true. I mean future vision can't always be right. Right?"
"True but most of the time it can be right." Azenith said. Jamie turns into Caesar's Palace front entrance area towards the valet parking.
"How can I prevent myself from getting killed?" Jamie asks.
"You can't. It's going to happen. But as long as you don't mention the Vegas mob. I think we're fine."
"You sure?"
"I hope so?" Azenith said. The family got out of the car and walked inside the casino to the restaurant. As they walked in, Carolyn, Chris, and Kyla walked in the casino. Carolyn spots Azenith and her family walking into Bacchanal Buffet.
"I thought you killed her?" Carolyn said.
"We did." Chris said. "Someone probably revived her when the police found the bodies last month."
"Shit-" Carolyn said. "And it probably was her husband who asked the hospital to revive her back."
"Wait, you can do that?" Kyla asks.
"You can if requested by the family or anyone representing the family. All it does is revive your body back to normal with an updated form of powers. Michele told me this and I just read the Grimoire about it."
"That's cool."
"Yeah but we're getting off topic. Shoot him on the spot or take him somewhere far away and shoot his brains out. Make sure to dump his body in Lake Mead."
"Got it." Chris and Kyla walk into Bacchanal Buffet. Carolyn walks out the front entrance. Azenith, Jamie, and Leilani sit in a booth, eating their food. Azenith gets up and grabs her cup.
"I'll be back. I'm going to get a refill"
"Okay"
Azenith walks to the drinks stand and refills her cup with lemonade. Jason walks up and stands behind her.
"Nice snow leopard ears."
Azenith jumps and turns around and looks at Jason.
"Woah! You scared me."
"I'm sorry. I see you got revived back to life, hm?"
"Yeah. It's a strange concept. I wonder why we were chosen to be brought back to life?"
"Who knows." Jason said. "Are you here alone or with your family?"
"My family. My husband decided to go out tonight so I tagged along because I needed to get out anyway."
Jason chuckles. "I guess your husband loves Vegas?"
"He does, yet I chose to stay in California, so he agreed to move to Livermore."
"Well that's good." Jason said. "Well. I'm at the back corner table. You can always come by to sit with me."
"Thanks for the offer but I'm fine." Azenith said.
"Okay." Jason smiles. Azenith smiles and walks back to her table. She sits and drinks her lemonade.
"I have a question?"
"Shoot"
"Why is the mob targeting FOX5 again? Specifically you? You don't even work there anymore?" Jamie asks. Azenith stopped drinking and almost choked herself.
"Jamie. I told you not to mention the mob. And for your information its about the murder that one of the reporters dried snitched about."
"Oh that's right I'm sorry." Jamie said. "Would it be coincidental if they didn't kill her and they said it as if nothing happened?"
"I'm not following."
"What i'm saying is that if the reporter dry snitch and told who the killers were. Then the murder never happened."
Azenith shakes her head in disappointment. "It did happen. The mob killed the people at the casino in Tonopah and they killed the reporter. Now can we please finish our food?"
Chris aims his gun at Jamie.
"Okay"
Jamie goes back to eating his food. Jamie stops and gets up from the table. "Hold on, I need to get something."
He walks towards the silverware stand. Azenith looks up and sees Chris slowly pulling the trigger from his gun.
"Jamie! Look out!" She yelled. Jamie turns around and sees Chris.
POW!... POW!... POW!...
Jamie falls over onto the floor. A bullet hits him in the head. Blood splatters onto the floor. Chris disappears, everyone runs and ducks under their tables. Azenith's eyes widen and she screams. Leilani looks at Azenith getting up. Jason looks at Azenith and runs over to her. Azenith grabs Jamie's head. Preventing it from bleeding heavily.
"Mommy?" Leilani said sadly. Azenith starts to tear up.
"Jamie is dead..." Azenith continues to cry. Leilani looks at her dad and starts crying too. Jason hugs Azenith behind. Azenith lets go of his body leaving Jamie's blood on her arms and hands.
"It's okay..." Jason whispers. The ambulance, the police, and the corners arrived picking up Jamie's body. Jason, Azenith, and Leilani are standing outside the casino. The police walk up to them.
"Ma'am? Is it ok if I ask you some questions?"
Jason looks at Azenith. Azenith nods yes.
"Yes." Azenith said.
"Can you recall what happened tonight?"
Azenith breathes. Jason wraps his arm around Azenith.
"It just happened so fast. My family and I were eating and before you know it, he's dead."
"Did you see the suspect at all?"
"I couldn't see them that well. They were hiding before firing their guns."
The police wrote her response down on her notepad.
"And the victim? You know him?"
"He's my husband." Azenith said.
"What's his name?"
"Jamie James."
The police write it down on her notepad and talk to her radio. "The victim's name is Jamie James. I'm talking to the wife of the victim."
"Copy that."
The police walk off with her notes. Jason looks at Azenith.
"Are you going to be ok?" Jason asks.
"Not really. It's going to take a while for me to grieve."
"Come over to my place, you can stay there for the night."
"Alright."
Jason jumps back to his house. Azenith grabs Leilani's hand and walks off to their car. Leilani looks at Azenith.
"Mommy? Is papa coming back?" Leilani asks. Azenith looks at her.
"He's gone, Lei," Azenith picks up Leilani and puts her in her carseat. "But, he will be here in spirit to protect and look over us." she tickles Leilani. Leilani laughs. Azenith smiles. She gets in the car and drives off to Jason's condo. A few minutes later, Azenith and Leilani walk up to the building. Jason walks out of the elevator and hugs Azenith.
"Hey."
"Hey."
Jason looks at Leilani. "And who is this?"
Leilani walks behind Azenith. Azenith giggles. "That's Leilani. She's shy."
"Aww!" Jason squats down and raises his hand for a high five. "Hi Leilani, I'm Jason."
Leilani smiles and gives Jason a high five. Azenith smiles. Jason smiles and gets up. The group walks in the elevator up to Jason's condo. Jason opens the door to his house and walks in. His cats look up once he walks in. Leilani looks at the cats.
"Kitties!"
Jason picks up one of his cats. "Want to pet them?"
Lailani nods yes and pets the cat.
"Isn't that Dr. Feinberg?" Azenith asks.
"This is Kitty Perry." Jason said. "The one on the counter next to you is Dr. Feinberg."
Azenith looks at Dr. Feinberg. Dr. Feinberg stretches her paw towards her to pet her. Azenitih pets her.
"Hi Dr. Feinberg!"
Dr. Feinberg meows. Jason puts down Kitty Perry and sits down on the couch. Azenith sits next to him on the couch. He turns on the TV and turns on the news.
"Shit. Channel 5 is out of service. What's on channel 3?" He changes the channel to KSNV 3 and sees the report about the shooting at Bacchanal Buffet. Azenith sighs and slouches on the couch. Jason hugs Azenith, bringing her closer to him.
"It's okay to cry, Az." Jason whispered. Azenith starts to cry.
"Damnit..."
"Let it out."
"Why... just why?" Azenith cries. "Why him? He didn't deserve to die this way. It just makes me so angry that they shoot him without warning. Makes me want to hurt the killers. Like-"
Azenith nails sharpen like a cat. She grabs a pillow and throws her body face first on the pillow and screams in it. Jason lays on Azenith.
"Under Carolyn's control? Please, who knows what destruction she turned them into. With or Without Michele control."
"Wait, Carolyn isn't the Donna of the Vegas mob?" Azenith asks.
"For now. Michele was arrested for prositution months ago. Michele is the Donna of the Vegas mob. Carolyn is the underdonna. She takes over while she is Prison for a year."
"So why is she in the mob?"
"Michele invited her to be in the mob. She 'til this day is her partner in crime. Carolyn even killed her husband for Michele to save their reputation."
"Oh hell no, She's dangerous." Azenith said.
"So who knows what she did to them."
Azenith lifts her face and lays on the pillow she falls asleep. Jason smiles and falls asleep with her. Later at night, Azenith wakes up and sees Leilani sleeping on the couch and the two cats looking at Azenith.
"Good morning, Azenith." Peyton said. Azenith's eyes widened and screamed.
"Woah!" she yelled. Kitty Perry jumps on the couch and shushes her.
"Sorry for waking you up." Kattie said. "I hope my sister didn't scare you with her voice."
"My apologies."
Jason wakes up.
"What's going on?" Jason asks.
"Your cats... they just talked."
"They talked? please tell me that you aren't hearing things?"
"Nope dad, we can speak." Kattie said.
Jason rubbed his eyes and widen his eyes in terror.
"What the hell?!" Jason exclaimed. "YOU GUYS CAN TALK?!"
Kaittie and Peyton nod yes.
"How... in the-"
"We can explain later but there isn't time. We need you guys." Peyton said.
"What do you mean? Why do you need us?"
"Vegas is in danger, The Vegas mob are taking over the city and have a plan to take over Vegas and Nevada under Carolyn and Michele's control."
"Not only that. They are going to kill any locals that will try to get in their way."
Jason and Azenith look at each other.
"Is it the reason why Cherney and Tom died. She snitched on them and brutally killed them."
"That was a warning for the whole city to hush up their plans. If they tell anyone, that's what is going to happen. Carolyn made an example of them."
"But the whole town knows who did the murder. People will start questioning the shootings at the reunion party and at Caesars Palace."
"They're going to find out soon and we need to protect them and the city from destruction to come."
Azenith nods. "Agreed"
They turned back to Peyton and Kattie.
"What do we need to do?" Jason and Azenith said together. Peyton and Kattie smirks.
"You guys need this to transform."
Peyton and Kattie grab their weapons and give them to Azenith and Jason. Azenith grabs the cat cane and Jason grabs the cat staff.
"This is so cool!" Jason said. "So, what now?"
"Say, 'Vegas Cats! Let's Claw it!' " Kattie said.
Azenith and Jason lift their weapons towards the ceiling.
"Vegas Cats! Let's Claw it!" They both exclaimed. Their weapons glow, the light shines the whole apartment, blinding everyone. Azenith and Jason float off the ground and transform into their hero forms. A bright light shines through the transformation and they float back down on the floor.
"Bro! It's them!" Kattie exclaimed. "Wild Az and Fein Cat!"
Azenith and Jason look in the mirror.
"We're superheroes?"
"Yes. But no time. You have a city to save right now. You can jump out the balcony to head to your destination." Peyton said. Jason and Azenith look at the balcony door.
"We have to jump off that balcony?! Are you crazy?!"
"Don't worry, you guys will be okay. Go now!"
They both walk out the balcony and stand on the railings. They look back inside to see Leilani sleeping on the couch and look at the clock.
"It's 2:45 am, ma'am. We'll make sure she is safe until you return."
"Go GO!"
"Right!"
Jason and Azenith jump off the balcony and swing themselves towards the strip. Azenith runs on top of the Stratosphere and jumps off the building, grabs her cat claw hook, shoots it at the light pole and swings off it. Azenith screams in excitement. Jason laughs.
"Having fun are you?!"
"You bet I am!" Azenith said, swinging off another light pole near the Sahara Hotel. Jason lands on top of the Sahara hotel sign. Azenith swings herself right next to him. She breathes.
"That was fun." She laughed. An explosion goes off down the area. They both look at the explosion.
"That must be them."
"The Mazel Tov cocktail explosion."
"Let's go."
Azenith and Jason jump off the sign and follow the explosion. A blue comet shoots out of the explosion and lands on the Convention center parking lot. They land in the parking lot next to the comet. Dylan sits up, his eyebrow is bleeding. His face is covered with blood.
"Fuck.."
"Are you ok?" Azenith asks, helping him get up. Another loud explosion ripped through the air. Gunshot fire through the explosion. Screams from people rise when they run out of Circus Circus casino entrance way. Carolyn, Chris, and Kyla walk out the entrance. Azenith, Jason, and Dylan look at them.
"You guys won't give up, won't you?" Carolyn said. "And brought your little friends to stop us."
Azenith and Jason hiss at them. Dylan clenches his disc. Kyla and Chris smirks.
"We got the cats, Madame." Kyla said, "You finish the kid off."
"Oh perfect." Carolyn said, she smiles and turns into her demon form. An electric spark runs through her arm creating a scythe and flies towards Dylan. Dylan blocks her attack. Kyla and Chris run towards Azenith and Jason. Kyla punches Azenith, catching her off guard, flying a mile away from Dylan and Jason. She lands on the street, scraping her arm when she lands. Blood starts to flow from her arm. Azenith gets up and grabs her arm to stop it from bleeding. She throws another punch at her. Azenith blocks her punch, she punches back and kicks her in the stomach. Kyla coughs up blood. She throws another punch to her face. Kyla dodges it and punches Azenith in the face. She loses balance and Kyla punches her again. Azenith spits out blood. Chris throws a punch towards Jason. He dodges the punch he threw at him.
"Want to go bro?" Jason said, grabbing his cat staff and swinging it towards Chris's face. Hitting him. He continues to swing his staff at him.
"Fore!" He exclaims and swings his staff like a golf club, sending Chris flying towards the unfinished Fountainbleu parking garage. Jason claps his hands.
"Damn man. Can't even fight and I just easily beat your ass." Jason chuckles. A flash of wind blows right next to him. He shivers and feels his skin growing goosebumps. "What the hell was that?"
Chris grabs Jason by the neck and clicks his dagger.
"Want to say that again, buddy?" Chris whispered. He knees Jason's back hard. He screeches and falls over. Azenith looks at him.
"Jason!"
Kyla punches her face again, breaking her nose. Blood bleeds out. Chris kicks Jason in the face. He stabs him in his chest. Jason screams in terror. Dylan pushes Carolyn off of him and throws his disc at Chris's face. Carolyn punches Dylan and she throws her scythe at him. The scythe hollowed through him. Carolyn appears behind Dylan and kicks him in his face, causing his eyebrow to bleed more. Dylan falls onto the ground, being unable to move. His disc weapon rolled out of his hands. She steps on his disc.
"Damnit!" Dylan exclaimed. Carolyn grabs Dylan by his shirt, almost choking him.
"Since you want to fuck around and find out. Let me show you what happens if you fuck around."
Lightning sparks around her arm, charging up like a lightning bolt ready to strike. Dylan tries to telepathically grab his discs. His discs moved but stopped half way.
"Fuck..."
"Want to give up now?!-"
A shock hits Carolyn's heart. she stops, clenches her chest, and starts coughing up blood. She drops Dylan and starts throwing up blood and falls on the street. "D-Damnit..."
Dylan sits up and looks at Carolyn, "Are you alright?"
Carolyn struggles to get up, Chris and Kyla run over to her and help her up.
"I-I'm fine." Carolyn said, "Damnit"
"Let's go, Madame." Kyla said. Chris, Kyla, and Carolyn walk away. Carolyn snaps and releases herself from them. She grabs her dagger and runs towards Dylan. Her heart shocks her again, she stops and turns back into her human form. Coughing up blood again.
"Fuck!" Carolyn exclaimed. She breathes rapidly. Chris and Kyla walk up to her. Carolyn raises her hand for them to stop. "It's fine, I got it."
Kyla and Chris nod and disappear. Azenith, Jason, and Dylan look up at Carolyn. She stands up and walks away.
"You guys better stay away from the mob plans," Carolyn said. "Or else, I'm sending them out and my other soliders out to blow your fucking heads off."
She continues to walk away. Dylan gets up, so does Azenith and Jason. They all look at the Firefighters and the police arriving at the entrance of Circus Circus.
"This is the beginning for us." Azenith said.
"And it isn't the end for us either." Dylan preached. "We're lucky she didn't kill us."
"True." Jason said, "but that isn't going to last in the near future, now that she found out we are trying to stop her and her mafia."
"Yeah."
"Let's team up."
Azenith and Jason look at Dylan.
"Are you serious?" They both ask.
"Yeah, let's do it."
Azenith and Jason look at each other and look at Dylan.
"Let's do it." Azenith said.
"Are you sure about this?" Dylan asks.
"We aren't going to leave you alone in this fight." Azenith said. "There isn't an 'I' in the team and we have been proven that they are stronger than us and we don't know if it's true for the rest of the group later on."
"She's right. We're not going to do this on our own."
Dylan nods and smiles.
"Alright. Let's do it."
Dylan, Jason, and Azenith raise their fist and fist bumps each other. Azenith looks at the sky. The sky turns light blue with a streak of orange from the sun rising behind Sunrise Mountain in the distance.
"What time is it?" Azenith asks.
Dylan looks at his watch.
"It's 5:30 am."
Jason and Azenith look at each other. "Shit!"
They both ran quickly back to the condo. Dylan chases them.
"What's going on?!" Dylan exclaimed. "Where are you guys going?!"
"Long story!" Azenith exclaimed.
"Meet us at Azenith's house in Henderson!" Jason said. Dylan stops running.
"Okay!"
