The group shudders as they looked up at the abandoned building towering above them.
"What a creepy house…" Grover stammers.
"Yeah...looks haunted" Jamie replies.
"Look at all of those webs, those must be from spiders! I can't stand spiders!" Gabby shrieks.
"Ha! Luis has that same weakness!" Grover laughs.
"Logically speaking, we have to enter this house," Austin says as he does the anime glasses guy thing
"You guys are cowards, it's just a house!" Mikey snaps. "Alright, that's it. I'm going in!"
Mikey begins to approach the house, but is interrupted when he hears a weird noise from behind him. "Does anyone hear that?!" Mikey asks as he spins around to face the rest of his squad.
"It sounds like...a motorcycle?" Gabby asks.
The squad then turns towards the direction in which the noise comes from, hearing the revving of a motorcycle. The revving noise grows louder and louder, until a bright red bike launches out of the forest and into the clearing, slamming into the ground behind Mikey, sending dust particles flying up in every direction.
"What the Hell was that?" Mikey cries as he turns around, and as the smoke clears, he sees a tall, muscular woman in a red leather jacket facing Gabby and the squad, sitting on top of a hot red motorcycle parked behind her.
"Who the Hell drives a motorcycle in the woods?!" Jamie snaps.
"Um...who are you?" Gabby asks.
The woman bends her neck to the left, then to the right, and the group hears too loud cracks. "Ah, it's been awhile since I've gotten a good brawl in. Maybe a century or two" the woman says.
"A brawl? Are you planning on fighting us!" Grover cries as he draws a knife
"Okay, but seriously, who are you?" Gabby snaps. "We're doing something really important here, so please leave!"
"Little old me? Well I'm just some nobody trying to stop you from doing that important somethin'," the woman answers.
"What?! My brother is in that building, and he's just been kidnapped! So help me if you keep me aways from him!" Gabby shouts.
"Such a loud, vulgar mouth on that pretty little face," the woman teases. "I'm quite upset, really, that they don't teach you kids, at least you Pro Slayers, what I look like. I would have assumed that you would be able to figure out who I was by now," War sighs.
"I'm asking one more time, who the hell are you?!" Gabby shouts.
The woman smiles, which then curls up into an evil smirk. "Telling people my name, it's always been my favorite part," she replies. The woman then reaches up and pulls off her helmet, revealing her curly, flaming red hair, causing Mikey to instantly tense up. "You can call me War of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
"Am...am I supposed to know you?" Gabby asks. "Who is she?" Gabby then asks as she turns to face the squad, only to be greeted by the speechless faces of her new Pro Slayer friends. "Hello! Guys? Do you know her?!" Gabby snaps.
"Gabby...step the Hell away from that woman…" Jamie shudders.
"What? Why? What's so dangerous about her? She just looks like some edgy biker chick?" Gabby asks.
"Oh! I am! Check out my bike, isn't she beautiful? I call it my Red Stallion, she's my horse," War excitedly replies.
"Gabby...that is no woman...no human. That...thing...it's a demon," Grover explains, his voice shaking.
"A...demon?" Gabby asks as she peers up at War, who smiles back down at the girl. "A demon..who likes...kills...and eats people…?" Gabby whimpers. Gabby is too shocked and too unaware of her current predicament to feel true fear, unlike the nagging fear that eats away at her Pro Slayer accomplices.
"Yes. And that demon, that's one for the worst of them all. That is War the Calamity, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and one of the most strongest and ruthless demons in existence," Austin stammers.
"Hah! It can't be. No way!" Grover laughs . "The Horsemen have been sealed away in the demon world for years now! There's no way this liar is War!"
War smirks. "Oh, but that's what you think. Or at least, that's what you've been told," she replies.
"So...War is here to fight us?" Gabby stammars.
"Yeah, I just gotta stop you two from messing with the affairs of Death's son and your friend, Luis, in that building back there, '' War answers.
"Death as a son?!" Grover cries.
"And what does he want with Luis?!" Jamie adds
"Gabby. Run. Run the hell away from here. Take your cat and run, and don't look back!" Austin orders.
"Gabby," Mikey says, and Gabby turns to face Mikey. "We'll save your brother, just run."
Gabby wipes the tears from her eyes and nods, then scopes ip Mr Kittles and begins running out of the forest as fast as she can.
"You…" Mikey growls as he turns back to face War. "APRIL 9th, 2012! DID YOU KILL TWO PEOPLE THAT DAY, STEPHEN AND SHEILA HAKAN?!" Mikey roars as he draws his dual pistols, aiming them at War.
War smirks back at Mikey. "So what if I did?" She asks. Mikey trembles as he slowly moves his fingers to his pistols' triggers.
"Mikey, Austitn interrupts. "War is blocking us from entering that building, only you can go inside. Go save Luis."
"But I…War…she killed my parents, didn't she?!" Mikey cries. "I need to know!"
"We'll keep War here so you can integrate her later!" Grover exclaims as she flashes Mikey a thumbs up.
Mikey continues trembling for a little while longer, getting his teeth in agony as he keeps his pits trained on War. And then…Mikey limply drops his arms, before turning around to face the entrance of the abandoned building. "Alright! I'm going in to save Luis now, because protecting the people that are here is more important than protecting the people that aren't!" Mikey shouts. "You three better keep War here, I'm trusting you!"
"Don't worry, we got this!" Jamie smirks.
"War…just hang tight! My friends will play with ya' for a little bit, and then…you're mine!" Mikey roars. And then, Mikey dashes into the abandoned building after Luis.
"Oh, my pleasure," War replies as she turns to face the squad and licks her lips.

"Yo, Luis, where are ya'?!" MIkey shouts as he cups his hands around his mouth, wandering around the abandoned building. "Jeez, it's so dark in here," Mikey grumbles as he pulls one of his pistols and lights it, just in time to see a large rat scurry past his feet. "And filthy too."
Mikey keeps searching through the building until he finds a staircase. "Maybe he's upstairs?" Mikey asks as he climbs up the staircase. Mikey keeps searching room after room until he passes by a closed door, hearing voices come from inside. "That sounds like Luis!" Mikey exclaims.

My eyes widen. "Cursed Power…is from demons?!" I cry. "It ruins the body of whoever uses it?!"
"Yes, eventually turning them into demons," Daniel answers.
"But…why are you telling me all this…?" I stammer. "If you're going to kill me, I'd rather at least die with a peace of mind!"
"I'm only telling you all this so that you know the truth of half-demons, before you are slain by one," Daniel answers.
"So what, you're gonna try to kill me for the sake of your dad's plans?" I spit.
"No," Daniel answers. "I don't care at all what that man is doing, nor do I know. I'm going to kill you for the sake of my dreams, so that I can-'' but Daniel is interrupted when we hear a loud explosion come from the door of the room Daniel tossed me in. Daniel and I turn to face the door, seeing it engulfed in flames, as Mikey stands in the doorway.
"Aha! There you are!" Mikey shouts as he enters the room. "I finally found you! And once I save you, then you can no longer hold that instance with King over my head!" Mikey then tosses my katana over to me, which clangs uselessly to the ground besides me.
"My hands are tied so I can't use this to cut myself free, you know," I grumble.
"Hah! That's your problem!" Mikey snorts.
"You're the worst rescue ever," I sigh.
"Oh, so you've found us? A pity, really, I prefer to not shed the blood of any innocent people whom I needn't kill," Daniel eerily says as he readies his shadow sickles.
"So you're Luis' stalker, eh? Nice to meet you, my name is the guy who's gonna kick your ass and get my lost puppy out of here!" Mikey shouts.
"It seems that you're mistaken," Daniel replies. "You will not be "kicking me in the ass.: Instead, I will be killing you swiftly." Shadow sickles then fly out of Daniel's shadow, all pointing towards Mikey.
