SLAP!!! SLAP!!!

And yeah, you know it, Heidi had already did my dare to her for Randy by slapping him twice in both of his cheeks. She's here because she's gonna fetch Howard home and to the fact that his parents are worried sick. Randy, who was now feeling both of his cheeks, glared at me as I just laughed it off. Once Howard said his sad goodbye to Randy, off he left the house. My cellphone began to vibrate. I pulled it out from my pocket and answered it. "Hello,"

"(Y/n), house, now!" I heard Haize panicked from the other line. "Why? What happened?"

"Something's happening at NHS and...wait...you gotta be...no way! THE SORCERESS IS BACK WITH EVIL JULIAN BY HER SIDE!!! YOU GOTTA COME HOME QUICK!!!" With that, she hang up. "What happened (y/n)?" Firsty asked me. As I told Firsty what happened on the phone, he has his eyes wide open, even Randy's. I told them that I have to get myself ready so I went back to my house just as what Haize told me to do so...though the two guys followed to my house because I might be being 'followed' and yeah, they are right, I have been being followed by two shoobs wearing a somewhat kidnapper...TEENnapper costume -_-. I can see Haize from my room's window, already in her cloak like brah...WAIT FOR MEH!

The 2 went in through the window as I just look at them like... THE DOOR IS OPEN! I just facepalmed myself and enter my house the normal way. From the stairs of my house, Haize's cloak was thrown at me, making me trip a bit. "Cloak up (y/n), we 4 have a city to save," Nodding my head, I put on the cloak and off we go to NHS...

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
We lurked within the halls of the school. Nothing. Nothing in sight. The laughter of the Sorcerer can be heard from the room where the Eye of Eternities is. Evil Julian and the Sorceress must've set him free. I should be having like an afternoon nap or eating while watching my fav. show cuz...IT'S SATURDAY!!! EVERY STUDENT HERE AT NHS IS AT HOME, ALL CHILLAX. Within the shadows, we can see the 3 and... Aphrodite? What is she doing here? Everyone beside me also has the same question as mine. Little did we know, the answer was just under our noses. Aphrodite is not Aphrodite (Reader-chan: You say what now?), Aphrodite McFist is Serah Soren.

Her appearance changed in just one snap of her fingers. It was really shocking knowing it was her all along. ''Daughter, have you stolen the mask and nomicon?" Shaking her head, disappointment filled her parents. ''I am very sure that you guys won't be able to get the mask too because hey, he keeps it within his tidy whities! And, I am inside the nomicon, how can I get it when I am inside of it?'' I looked at Firsty, who was now hiding his face from us, with a disgusted look. ''Firsty,'' Haize called out. ''That's Shnasty! And to the point that...see! Serah is their daughter!'' Firsty looked at her with one of his eyebrows up. ''Dude, I've known that before,''

''Then why did you stay with her-''

''I want to make sure that my eyes are seeing what I am really seeing and to the point that yeah, my eyes are right. Few months ago, I saw her speaking to the Sorcerer while were having fun swimming underneath the falls, but I doubt it. Then once again, I saw her talking to him again, full screen. Now, I broke up with her,'' Haize stared at him for a minute or two before returning her gaze at Serah. Before we know it, McFist and Viceroy enter the room. ''How's the acting 'Aphrodite'?'' He asked, emphasizing her alias. ''Still in progress...I think,''

''Sorcerer, since you have been freed, mine giving me the powers of my choosing? Since your daughter here *points at Serah*keeps using MY money in her everyday shopping,'' The Sorcerer laughed on McFist's request and in return, both him and Viceroy were now chained on the walls using the Sorceress' stank powers. ''Huh? This is unfair! You can't just chain us with...pink stank! We had a deal!'' Serah went up to him, a dagger pointing beneath his neck. ''You did but it said if YOU set him free, you'll get the reward but WE were the ones who let him free so...deal's off!'' With that, the Soren family laughed including Evil Julian.

All of the Soren members looked at him with disgust as Serah used her lightning powers to zap him. His robot parts fell to pieces, all burnt and was suddenly blew away by the sudden wind. He looked at his masters and soon, he was chained like the rest of the two. ''You'll be staying here while we trash the whole city and maybe... THE WHOLE WORLD!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!"

''Not if we can help it,'' Firsty said out of nowhere. He revealed himself out of the shadows, just above them. How did he get there? Well, he is a ninja. Soon, all of us went out of their hiding places. ''Well, well, well, 2 by 2's aye,'' The Sorcerer started. ''If it isn't the ninja from the past and present united with the Silent Glow and her twin in crime huh? Sorens! Attack!" As usual, fight scene, fight scene, fight scene. The ninjas are off to fight the Sorcerer, Haize to Serah, and me to the Sorceress. Firsty told me and Haize to fasten up the fighting and get to the Eye before one of the Sorens' do. As he said that, I nodded my head and was about to get the eye when the Sorceress blocked my way. "Ah-ah-ah. You're not passing unless one of us back outs," She said, getting her powers ready. "Huh, you must be talking about yourself,"

Rage took over the Sorceress as she began to block my vision using her pink stank. Out of nowhere, pink lightning began to shoot at me. I dodge and blocked them as I could, though some manage to cut through my skin. She laughed at me from a short distance. I can feel her presence coming closer. Where could she be? Soon, I found myself flying and hitting against the cold hard wall. She laughed again. "Silly silly girl," What am I gonna do?... The moonstone key began to glow, a bright white light happened to appear. Once it disappeared, the pink stank disappeared with it. "What?! How is this possible?!"

I took hold of the key and something magnificent happened. The cloak I am wearing turned raven black on the outside and clear white on the inside. Even the weapons inside changed colors to black and white. Instead of finding a dagger in the cloak, I pulled out a sword. "Ready to fight, Sorceress?" A smirk was placed on my lips as we began to fight. She made her own sword using her powers...but it's double-bladed. "Ready if you are, Haize,"

"You do know I am not her, right?" An awkward silence hit us, and I got this chance to maybe slice her skin a bit. As I did, the gash on her skin began to light up within. Uh-oh, what's happening? Instead of seeing blood flowing down, She began to become like tiny white lights swirling above the ground, Everybody stopped to what they are doing and turned their gazes towards the floating lights. It began to swirl all around me and then into the necklace. The moonstone on the key showed a picture of the Sorceress then after that, an image of a woman. "I think...it collects souls! Coolio," After so, they all continue to fight.

A strange aura circled around the Eye. The moonstone began to glow on and off. "You want me to release the Tengu?" I whispered-asked the key. It glowed once again as I just did what it said. "Umm, you happen to open this Eye or do I have to-" Before I even get to finish my question, it floated all the way towards the Eye and turned. The Tengu escaped the Eye and was coming at me. I didn't know what to do, so I just stand there and let it come in. Black Tengu wings started growing from my back as red lines appeared at the ends of the cloak. A sharp pain hit me on my stomach as I was sent flying, again, towards the wall, together with the other two ninjas. Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm now linked with both of the ninjas now that the Tengu is with me.

After a few minutes of fighting, the soul of the Sorcerer was now sucked by the moonstone, just in time for Haize to stab Serah at her back. Firsty went to her and hugged her tightly while Randy just put her arm on my shoulder. But what shock us is that, Serah is not dead yet. She took her chance to get her dagger and stab Haize, hard. Serah placed her hand on her wound to stop it from bleeding and left us. Haize suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground. Firsty began to shake her, telling her to wake up. "I can't lose you again..." he whispered. Before we know it, her soul was sucked in also by the stone. An image of her monster form then her normal self appeared...then vanished.

The portal connecting to the Land of Shadows opened and off the real Julian came out of it and into his evil form. Now all we can see is just one. The pink stank chains disappeared, letting the 3 go. They all went to our side and was now staring at my necklace. Never knew that someone was watching us from a far...

Serah's POV
No father. No mother. All DEAD.

I really felt guilty of killing her, but I have no choice. Orders are orders. I looked back one more time before leaving and said something that was really out of my character...

"I am sorry lil' sis, I hope you still have the heart to forgive me one day..." As tears started flowing down my cheeks, I have no choice but to let it fall like the rain outside the school...
