Chapter 19 - Segment XIX | NYE in Vegas

New Year's Eve has arrived in the city of Las Vegas, the strip and downtown Vegas are getting ready, setting up for the huge firework display and the huge party crowd celebrating the new year. Oscar sits outside his backyard drinking his coffee. Carolyn is in the kitchen cooking up a quick meal for dinner.

The wind blows inside the villa, Oscar looks up at the sky, clouds start to come together. The water in the pool blows in the wind. A silhouette of Michele appears out of the shadows behind the bushes with two other people she has in her hands grabbing them by the back of the necks. Oscar looks at the silhouette.

"Oscar. Where's Carolyn?"

"Uh...She's not here right now."

"Where is she?"

"Out downtown, She is the mayor you know."

"I don't give a damn if she's the mayor. Where is she?!"

Carolyn perks her head up while she chops up the bell peppers. She looks out the window seeing Michele talking to Oscar out in the backyard. Michele looks up at Carolyn. She quickly closed the curtains and went back to chopping up the bell peppers quickly. Michele walks inside the house, Oscar gets up from his chair quickly, blocking the backyard door.

"You can't go in there."

"Watch me."

Michele shoves Oscar out the way with her shoulder. She throws Joe and Cassie on the floor scaring Carolyn.

"Oh shit!" Carolyn yelled.

"I see you didn't tell them what was the plan for tonight?"

"What's there to tell?! Michele, you're going too far with this 'I wanna take over Las Vegas' bullshit ass plan!"

Michele grabs Carolyn by the neck, She grows up to 6 feet, slamming Carolyn towards the wall. Cassie sits up and summons a rose chain, grabbing Michele's neck. Michele grabs the chain with her other hand, breaking it off. She grabs the chain and whips it back to Cassie, cutting her eye.

"Joe!"

Joe gets up and creates an ice spear. Oscar runs in the house, grabbing his martini glass. He turns it into an angelic sword.

"I got it!"

Oscar stabs Michele in her back. Silence roams the room. Michele lets go of Carolyn, dropping her onto the floor. Carolyn breathes rapidly. Blood pours out of Michele's mouth. She laughs. Her body splits apart as she comes out into her new body. She pulls the sword out of her back and smashes the sword onto the counter. Michele picks up her old body from the floor and looks at Carolyn. She kicks her in the nose. Carolyn's nose broke and started to bleed. Oscar runs up to Carolyn, Michele hits him in the chest and punches him in the stomach, he coughs up blood. She looks at Carolyn.

"I suggest you tell him now and If you continue to disobey me, I will make sure to have you and your whole family dead. Do you understand me?"

"Yes...Ma'am." Carolyn muttered.

"What?"

"Yes. Ma'am."

"Good girl." Michele smirks and lifts up Carolyn's head, blood continues to leak out of her nose. Michele licks the blood coming out of Carolyn's nose.

"You taste really good~" She chuckles and leaves the house. She stops outside the backyard door.

"That goes for you too Joe and Cassie, If you go behind my back for anything. Especially leaving my group. I won't hesitate to hunt you down and kill you and your family."

She flies out of her backyard. Joe and Cassie get up and help Oscar and Carolyn. Oscar looks at Carolyn, he grabs a towel and hands it over to her. Carolyn grabs the towel and covers her nose.

"Madame Carolyn?" Joe spoke up. "Is there anything that I need to do today?"

"Michele wanted you to go destroy the strat and look out for those heroes... That's all I have to say."

"Okay.." Joe nods.

"Joe. We really need to get Carolyn out of Michele's Mafia."

"We can't, you heard what Michele said?"

"I don't care. I'm quitting and I'm gonna risk my life for it."

"Cassie, you don't really need to do this." Carolyn said.

"Madame. This is too stressful for me and you and I've made a decision to quit."

Joe looks at Cassie.

"You know what, I thought about it. I'm quitting after my mission." Joe said. "If that's okay with you?"

Carolyn smiles. "Go ahead. I'll let you quit. If Michele finds out, I'll take the beating for you guys."

"Well, Madame. Cassie and I thought about protecting you from Michele. We want you to leave too."

Carolyn fell silent. She looks at them, "I really want to but I can't because Michele will find out and will find and kill me and Oscar. She already knows where I live."

"No problem, We can keep you on a downlow for you. We can guard your house for a certain amount of hours. We can switch positions protecting you."

"You don't have to do that, I can get my marshalls to do that." Carolyn said.

"We insist, Madame."

"No no... I don't want you to risk your lives to protect me, especially when Michele will come by and figure out that you're not in the mafia."

"You sure, Madame?" Cassie said.

"I'm sure. I'll be okay with my marshalls."

"We understand, Madame Carolyn." Joe said. He looks at Cassie. She looks at him, and nods. He nods back. Carolyn starts to tear up, she opens up her arms and gives Joe and Cassie a hug. They hugged her back.

"I'm so proud of you guys quitting this horrid mess." Carolyn said, breaking the hug. "I'm gonna miss you guys."

"We're gonna miss you too, Madame." Joe said.

"Please, Call me Carolyn."

Joe and Cassie walk out from the backyard and fly away. Later in the day, Dylan and Jason walk downstairs putting on the last minute preparations to their formal outfits for their New Year's dinner at the Strat.

"Is Azenith coming down?" Jason asks. Dylan smirks looking at Jason while he puts on his glasses. He chuckles.

"Why, so you can simp over her?"

"No!" Jason yelled out, blushing. "I want to admire her beauty."

"Sure simp. She's coming down, Romeo. She just got done doing her makeup."

"Oh." Jason chuckled. "I'm sure she probably needs help putting on her dress, so I'll be upstairs."

Jason tiptoes his way upstairs, Dylan grabs his tail and pulls him onto the couch.

"Sit down! The fuck?!" Dylan yelled. Jason sits down on the couch. Azenith comes downstairs, her hair is curled up, her dress is black and soft stretchy polyester with open shoulder holes. Jason's eyes widen as he turns to look at her.

"Wow.." He said to himself. Jason gets up as Azenith walks towards the living room. He grabs her hand.

"You look wonderful, Az." He said, kissing her hand. Azenith chuckles.

"Aww thank you, Jason," Azenith said. "You both look great!"

"Both?"

"Uh.. I think she meant us, Jason." Dylan said. Jason's cat tail smacks Dylan in the face.

"I know that!"

Dylan laughs. "Okay simp boomer." He walks upstairs. "I'll be back."

Silence roams the room.

"Want to go outside?" Jason asks.

"Sure."

Azenitih and Jason walk to the front door, Azenith grabs the car keys. Jason opens the door for her. Azenith walks out of the door, Jason follows her.

"Ready for the new year?"

"I am!" Azenith exclaimed happily. "Can't wait for the year to go by, this year has been crazy."

"Right!" he exclaimed. "The murder in Tonopah happened, the shooting, we became heroes, and fought almost all of Michele's mafia."

"My husband passed away..."

"And your husband passed away."

"Yeah.."

They both stay silent.

"I'm sorry that I kissed you unexpectedly, Az. I got a bit too excited."

"It's okay. I...I kind of like it."

"You did?!"

"Well no but I loved it."

"Oh." Jason chuckles. He breathes. "I like you, Azenith!"

"What?"

"Nothing!"

Dylan walks outside, he puts his arms around Jason and Azenith's shoulders.

"Y'all ready?"

"Yeah!" Azenith and Jason said.

"Az, you got the keys?" Dylan said, walking to the front door of the car.

"Oh yeah. You're driving?"

Azenith throws the car keys to Dylan. Dylan catches them.

"Yeah!"

"Oh... okay! I'll take shotgun."

"Azenith, you don't mind sitting in the backseat with me?" Jason asked Azenith.

"Oh sure, Jason."

Jason opens up the backseat door for Azenith, she smiles and gets in the car. Jason looks at Dylan, he smirks. Dylan smirks back and gets in the car. Jason laughs and gets in the car too.

As they get out of the driveway, heading to the Strat. Meanwhile at Downtown, people walk around Fremont street watching the performers on stage and celebrating the new year. Oscar and Carolyn are walking down to the performance stage with the marshalls behind them. Michele wearing a black dress with a white fur coat on walking behind them without the marshalls and The Goodmans knowing. Carolyn looks around, nervously. Oscar looks at Carolyn.

"Sweetheart, are you okay?"

Carolyn turns her head quickly, looking at Oscar.

"I'm fine. Oscar."

She looks around again, Oscar looks at the marshall and moves his glasses. The marshal stops and looks around for a signal of danger. Michele appears behind the marshal and grabs him in a chokehold.

"M-mom.." the marshal called out, suffering to breathe.

"Calling for your mommy, hm?" Michele smirks and chuckles. The marshall gasps for air but loses it. Michele drops him, she grabs her gun from her jacket, connecting it with her silencer. She grabs him again and drags him behind the Circa Hotel. The marshal wakes up and looks at Michele.

"I- Where am I?" The marshal asks. Michele smirks, she kicks him down and puts her foot on his chest.

"I chose you to take a journey with me. You look like the kind of guy that likes to have fun~"

"Well.." He looks up at Michele's body. He gulps. "Goddamn."

"Like what you see?"

"I do... I never had sex with a politician before."

"Oh honey, you're going to have a great time~"

Michele's lust tail appears around her like a snake, as her eyes turn light pink.

"Tell me, do you have any kinks? you don't mind a little bondage BDSM do you?" She said, summoning a leash rope with her hands.

"Sure. I don't mind at all."

"Good boy~"

Michele crouches down, getting on top of the marshal. She summons a blindfold and puts it over his eyes. She grabs the leash and wraps it around his neck.

"Oh, I forgot to ask you. What is your name?"

"My name is Tyler ma'am."

"Well Tyler," She grabs her gun with the silencer on out of her jacket again. "The fun is going to end here."

Michele shoots Tyler in the head multiple times. He kisses him in the mouth and tilts his head for the blood to leak out from his mouth. She gets up and walks out from behind the Circa Hotel. As the performance ends on the Fremont stage, Carolyn and Oscar walk up on stage, following with Oscar's showgirls behind them. The lights went out on stage. The audience roars in confusion. Michele appears behind Carolyn, grabbing her by her arms and disappearing into the darkness on stage. The lights on stage come back on. Oscar, the band, and the Showgirls look around wondering what happened. Oscar looks next to him.

"Oh no, Carolyn is gone!"

"Mrs. Goodman is gone?!" One of the showgirls yelled.

The audience gasps.

"The Mayor is gone!" One of the locals yelled in the audience.

Meanwhile, Michele is flying over downtown. Carolyn shifts herself out of Michele's hands. She elbows Michele in the stomach.

She screeches.

"THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!"

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU KIDNAP ME, MICHELE?!"

"I told you about the strat mission."

"And I told you I don't want to be a part of your bullshit. All you are doing is causing havoc to the locals ESPECIALLY the tourists that are coming here to celebrate the new year. That's going to cost us, the LVCVA is counting that to see how many people would come down and celebrate and if the numbers go down. The funding for this city will fall because you want to kill some people at the Strat."

"Does it look like I care about that? Plus, our economy is based on gambling and hotels on the strip. Nobody cares about Downtown Las Vegas, they'll go there if they want to see the old shit down there and Fremont street that's it."

Carolyn's eyes widen, she gasps in offense. "Hold on.. Wait a minute. You will NOT disobey Downtown Las Vegas like that." Carolyn pushes Michele off her. She starts floating alongside Michele. "Sure we get our money from gambling from the casinos, Hotels on the strip, and Tourism but you will NEVER talk badly about Downtown Las Vegas, okay? Oscar and I work our ASSES off to develop and raise this area like its our 5th child and you have the AUDACITY to tell me that nobody cares about Downtown is outragously infuriating I don't know what to say to you Michele but fuck you."

Michele stays silent.

"Are you challenging me?" she said.

"Who said I was?"

Michele smacks Carolyn. "Don't talk back to me!"

"For your information, I can care less about the locals or the tourists. I still get my money from frauding taxes, having sex with others for money, and even killing people for money. You were there for ALL OF IT. I may have some shares with some casinos on the strip, sure. Whatever. I want to be feared by everyone and I want them to know I'm not the one to fuck with. Once I'm done with Vegas. I'm heading up to Carson City to assassinate Sisolak for all of the power he gains and I can have everything I want." Michele continued.

Carolyn goes silent. Michele flies off.

"Let's go Carolyn."

Carolyn follows Michele.

Meanwhile at the Strat, les chaotique trois walks out of the elevator entering the Top of the World restaurant. Azenith and Dylan are in awe of the decor of the restaurant.

"Woah! This looks amazing!" Azenith said, looking around.

The waiter comes up to the stand, he smiles.

"Hello there, here for a reservation?"

Dylan, Azenith, and Jason look at the waiter.

"Oh! Hi, Reservation for 5. It should be under the name Kendrick." Dyan said.

"Hm.. let me check," The waiter said, checking the reservation screen. He scrolls down to find the name. "Kendrick isn't on the list."

"Is it under Smith-James?" Azenith asks.

The waiter scrolled down again. He found the name. "Ah! I found you guys! Are you another party guest coming?"

"Yes they are," Jason said,

"Okay. let's get you guys a table." The waiter grabs 5 menus and leads the group to a table near the window. He sets the menus on the table. The group sits in the chairs.

"Okay here you are, I'll be back shortly."

"Thank you!" Dylan said. The waiter walks off. Azenith looks out the window, getting a full view of Downtown Las Vegas.

"That is so beautiful."

Dylan and Jason look out the window too.

"Ooohh."

"Look at my hometown," Dylan said. "Sin City, home of the unique powers among demons, angels, and Dragons alike."

"Is it just mainly Demons, angels, and Dragons?" Azenith asks.

"Technically yes but it's upgrading as the years go by."

"Hm. That's interesting." Azenith said.

Cassandra and Alyssa arrive at the restaurant. Dylan looks at Cassandra and Alyssa. He waves at them.

"Hey!" Dylan yelled. Cassandra and Alyssa look at Dylan.

"Hey!" Cassandra said, walking over to them. Alyssa follows her along with the waiter.

"Happy New Year, you guys." Dylan said, standing up, hugging Cassandra and Alyssa.

"Happy New years!" Cassandra said, hugging Azenith and Jason.

Cassandra breaks the hug. Alyssa hugs Jason and sits down. Azenith smiles and sits back down. Everyone sits down at the table. The waiter came to their table. Meanwhile, Joe arrives on top of the Strat tower. Michele and Carolyn arrive behind him.

"Joe!" Michele yelled. Joe turns around, looking at Carolyn and Michele.

"Evening ladies, how's your New Years going?"

"Why aren't you in the restaurant yet?!"

"Oh well I got here a little earlier, so I decided to fly around the city a bit before coming back here."

"Is that so?" Michele said, walking up to Joe.

"Oh no.." Carolyn muttered.

Michele grabs Joe by his shirt, lifting him up towards the sky.

"While you're standing around up here, you should be down there DOING YOUR JOB!"

"Michele, chill out! He got here early, now drop him!"

"Are you the mob Donna here or I am?"

"Joe, shoot ice in her face and go to the restaurant." Carolyn commanded.

Joe shoots Michele with ice. She screams, getting the ice off her face. He pushes her away when Michele loses her grip, dropping him. Joe runs to the gift shop, catching the next elevator ride to the restaurant. Michele turns around, looking at Carolyn. Carolyn looks at her.

"Why did you do that?!"

"Why..." Carolyn exclaimed. "It's because you need to start treating your mafia with respect, you're treating them like shit!"

"And who told you that?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because I know it's just you saying that and nobody else because they know, they can't leave MY Mafia."

"Sure if that is the case, but if there is a person that wants to leave your mafia, I'm not giving their name away to you, that's stupid!"

"Why don't you tell me who wants to leave then?"

"What, No!"

"Tell me... NOW!"

"Fuck you!" Carolyn yells

Michele grabs Carolyn by her shirt, choking her. She jumps on the railing of the tower, leaving Carolyn hanging towards the ground.

"You fucking dirty Jew, you tell me who wants to leave my Mafia? TELL ME!"

"I'd rather die bitch." Carolyn smirks, throwing up the middle finger towards Michele. Michele gets furious and releases her, letting Carolyn fall 1000 feet towards the ground. Michele leaves for the restaurant. Carolyn sparks her electric powers, creating her double chain scythe. She throws the scythe, clamping onto the tower. She holds on to the other end and tosses herself back up to the top of the Strat Tower. As she lands, she gets up and walks to the restaurant.

Joe walks in the Restaurant, he looks around and sees the heroes enjoying their new years night. He looks at Azenith. Joe smiles and leans into the wall. The waiter comes up to him.

"Hello there! Do you have a reservation?"

Joe ignores the waiter and looks at Azenith, smiling. Azenith turns around, looking at Joe. She smiles and waves to him. He waves back. The waiter looks at the table where Azenith sits.

"Are you with them?" He asks.

"Hm? Oh yeah, I am just for a quick second."

"Okay, you can go in."

"Thank you."

Joe walks in the restaurant. He walks towards the heroes table, creating an ice spear behind him. Azenith quickly stands up to hug him.

"Hey!"

"Hey beautiful" Joe hugs Azenith back."Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Joe."

Jason looks at Azenith and Joe. He snarls and looks the other way. Alyssa looks at Jason.

"Are you okay, Jace?"

"Fucking Joe... He's all over Azenith, knowing that he's married WITH KIDS." Jason scoffs, drinks his wine.

"Ew, she's such a dumbass," Alyssa said."She doesn't realize that's a mafia figure trying to kill her."

Dylan and Cassandra look at Alyssa. Azenith and Joe sit down at the table. The silence became awkward, Jason shakes his head. Michele walks in the restaurant, the waiter comes up to her.

"Hi! Do you have a reservation?"

"Shove it up your ass, combover slut."

The waiter got offended and blushed. "H-How did you know that I'm a slut??"

"I didn't know that but now that you did," Michele gives the waiter her card. "Give me a call, I can make you the top slut of Vegas." Michele winks at him. He grabs the card and puts it in his pocket. Carolyn walks in the restaurant, she looks around, She sees Joe sitting with the heroes. She exhales in relief, Michele turns around and sees Carolyn. She walks up to her as her face frowns in anger.

"I thought I killed you..." She said, grabbing Carolyn by her neck, choking her.

"You didn't kill me... you just threw me off the building...Do better Michele."

Michele grunts. Drops Carolyn and turns around, she looks at Joe. She starts to get more angry.

"JOE!"

Joe jumps in fear and grabs Azenith quickly by the neck. He creates an ice dagger, pointing to her stomach. Dylan, Cassandra, and Jason quickly get up and try to save her, Joe runs towards the middle of the restaurant and freezes the restaurant, preventing the heroes from running towards him. He starts to shoot ice spears at the restaurant attendees, some start running out the restaurant, some get pierced in the head with the ice. The blood spills out on the ice.

"JOE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Don't worry about it, just shut up and stick with me!"

"I'm not gonna let you hurt my friends, Joe! Seriously!"

"Just shut up."

Azenith shuts her mouth. Jason, Dylan, and Cassandra hide behind a table as everyone starts running out the restaurant. Alyssa laughs, Michele looks at Alyssa. She smiles.

"Let the fun begin, Alyssa." Michele said. Alyssa smirks. Carolyn covers her face as she can't watch what's going to happen. Cassandra watches Joe shooting ice at the attendees. She looks at Alyssa, sitting at the table still not getting hurt by the ice spears.

"Alyssa isn't getting up." Cassandra said.

"Why not? We need to save Azenith quickly." Dylan said. Cassandra looks onto her left, she sees Michele and Carolyn standing by the restaurant entrance door.

"Jackpot," Cassandra said. "I see why Joe is doing this"

"What's that?" Jason asks.

"Look onto your left." Cassandra says. Jaso and Dylan look on their left, they see Michele leaning against the wall and Carolyn standing there distraught.

"Damnit!" Dylan said, "Now we can't even get to Azenith now!"

"Not if we have a plan," Cassandra said, "Here's the plan; Dylan, you and I can fight Joe while Jason saves Azenith and we can get the hell out of here and enjoy the rest of New Years downtown."

"What about Alyssa?" Jason asks.

"I don't know, she's a lost cause right now, she's not going to help us anyways."

"Oh."

"Let's go!"

"Right!"

As the three turn into their hero forms, Dylan and Cassandra get up from behind the table. Dylan grabs his discs and throws them at Joe. He blocks the disc, Cassandra runs towards him, a lighting spark surrounds her fist, She punches him, catching Joe off guard. Lighting sparks in the room, bursting the windows in the restaurant. The wind comes through the restaurant in full force. Everyone braces themselves from the broken glass being blown in the restaurant. Jason runs by Michele and Carolyn to grab Azenith. Azenith is stuck frozen in the ice, Jason tries to scratch her out of the ice. He couldn't get her out.

"Jason, It's okay. I can get myself out of the ice!"

"Azenith, please it's not okay. Let me help you."

"Seriously, I got this."

"Listen to me- We don't have that much time, let me help you."

"Okay."

Jason punches the ice, breaking a portion of it, the ice slowly breaks, when Azenith stands up. She grabs Jason's hand, helping her balance on ice. Dylan and Cassandra slam down on the frozen ice. Joe freezes them. Jason runs towards Joe with his staff, he swings it at him. Joe breaks his staff and freezes him. Azenith stands there, frowning at him. Joe turns around and looks at Azenith. Michele claps for Joe.

"Brava, Joe! Brava!"

Azenith stays silent. Joe walks up to her.

"Azenith.. I-"

"I already know. I know you're a part of Michele's mafia, I know. You don't need to explain yourself." Azenith grabs her cat cane and turns around, looking out at the broken window.

"I know..." Joe wraps his arm around her.

"Joe... This mafia killed my husband... I don't understand why I met a person that is in a mob that has a plot to kill this whole town. I-I just don't know why your mob donna is trying to get us, specifically me lately."

Alyssa raises her eyebrows. Cassie comes into the restaurant through the window. Joe hugs Azenith. Tears ran down on Azenith's face.

"Azenith?" Alyssa stands up from her seat. "Azenith hey...hey. Don't cry."

"Why shouldn't I cry? I'm getting targeted for killing your fiance and I didn't do a thing."

"But the silhouette looked like you."

"I'm sorry Alyssa..." Cassie spoke up, "That manipulation dream that you had... I-I was there. I was the one that shapeshifted as Azenith's body to kill your fiance."

"Cassie? You're the one that did it?" Alyssa asks.

"By force, yes."

Michele growls and walks towards them.

"I'm sorry for assuming that you killed Brian, Azenith." Alyssa said, hugging Azenith. Michele grabs Alyssa by her shoulder.

"You SON A BITCH! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET REVENGE ON HER!"

"Why should I get revenge on a person that never killed my fiance in the first place?" Alyssa said. "Besides, we both know who did it."

"Fine. If you won't get revenge on her, THEN I WILL!"

Michele's eyes turn red, throwing a punch towards Azenith. She blocks the punch, sliding in the carpet, turning into her hero form. Michele grows up to four times the size of her height. Azenith swings punches at her while speeding. She jumps above her doing a backflip, creating a whirlpool towards her. She lands but almost slips off the building. Cassie and Joe run to save her, Carolyn grabs them to prevent them from getting killed by Michele. Michele became trenched from the whirlpool, she flew towards Azenith, while grabbing her dagger. She cuts her eyebrow, the blood spurts out as they fly out the tower, falling. Michele punches Azenith towards the Las Vegas Gateway arch, destroying it. Michele punches her through the arch, making the metal beam piercing through Azenith's body as the sign crashes onto the incoming car. Cars coming through the arches stopped, causing the cars crashing into it. Azenith coughs up blood and breathes. Michele breathes, she clenches her dagger and stabs her again. Carolyn looks down and sees the cars crashing into each other, causing backup traffic. The gateway is destroyed, full with blood on top. Joe, Cassie, and Alyssa look down as well.

"Alyssa, unfreeze your friends and meet me at UMC. Joe and Cassie, get Michele and make sure she'll pay for what she did to her and while you're at it, take the woman to UMC"

"Right," The group said. Joe and Cassie jump out of the tower and grab Michele. Alyssa makes a firebomb and unfreezes Jason, Dylan and Cassandra. As the ice melts from the fire, Cassandra, Dylan, and Jason are trenched in water.

"What's going on?" Cassandra coughs. "Where's Azenith?"

Alyssa stays silent. Jason and Dylan walk up to Alyssa.

"Alyssa?" Dylan said, Alyssa points outside. Jason, Dylan, and Cassandra run towards the window. They see Michele shifting up from stabbing Azenith in the stomach multiple times.

"AZENITH!" Jason yelled.

"Oh my god!" Dylan yelled. Cassandra covers her mouth in disparity.

"Azenith..."

"I'm sorry..." Carolyn said. The group continued to focus on Azenith, not even listening to Carolyn. She sighs and looks at her watch. It was 11:59PM, the countdown for the new year in downtown can be heard from the stratosphere tower. As the clock strikes Midnight, the fireworks burst in the sky. Carolyn stands at the edge of the fully broken windows. She bursts into tears in silence. She punches the window railing in anger.

"Fuck... fuck... fuck...fuck...FUCK!" she muttered, "I need to get out of this mess, this mafia just won't stop... not under Michele... I need to get out of this mess. But first, let's start with her."

Carolyn jumps out of the window and flies towards the medical district. Later at UMC Hospital, Azenith is laying on the bed, dying and breathing. The doctors are doing operations on her, getting the beam out of her stomach carefully. Jason, Alyssa, Dylan, and Cassandra run in the hospital.

"Excuse me, do you know where Azenith is located?" Jason asks rapidly.

The receptionist looks at them and scurries through the computer. "She's in room 215, take the elevator to the second floor and on your right."

"Thank you!"

The group runs up to the elevator and presses the button. As the elevator opens, they scurry in it and click on the second floor button. The door closes and lifts them up to the second floor. As the door opens, the group starts running out the elevator and heads to room 215. Carolyn walks out of the room, along with Joe and Cassie.

"Carolyn!" Jason yelled. " Is she going to be okay?"

"Her? I'm sorry... She's pronounced dead."

"Oh my god..."

"But I sent in a request to revive her back. The doctors will take good care of her and she'll be back alive in a couple of weeks."

"Thank you!" Jason cheered, giving Carolyn a hug. Carolyn hugs him back, she looks at the group. She smiles.

"Aw come on! Give me a hug, I'm not Michele!"

Everyone gave Carolyn a hug. Carolyn shed a tear as she broke up the hug.

"I want you guys to have a good rest of your new years." Carolyn said.

"We will!" Dylan said, "Thank you, Carolyn."

Carolyn winks, smiling at them. She salutes while sticking out her tongue. She walks away. Joe and Cassie follow her out. The group walks out with them as well, Jason stands in the hallway, looking through the window, seeing Azenith.

"Don't worry Az, you're in good hands." Jason said, smiling. He catches up with the group.
