<p style="text-align:center;"> Inside the town 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Gunther's House 

''As the attack in Corbin's cabin came to an end, the police of Sleepy Hollow finally located the place where the murderer of Wendel Clark lived. The police cars gathered in front of the house and officers came down from their vehicles with proper order.''

''Wearing a glasses, Captain Irving immediately walked towards the house, holding a walkie talkie in his hand. Irving, alongside Luke Morales and Devon Jones beside him, watched as two officers stood in front of the door, knocking it with a large box.'' ''With a loud burst, the door was opened. The police officers then went into the house and searched for the clues. Captain Irving stood in the living room beside a large piano, when Detective Devon Jones approached him to give his report. Luke was standing beside Devon.'' ​Irving took a look at the piano beside him after listening to the report. ''Irving then looked around this seemly normal house. There was nobody found in the house. All of the things in the house was quite normal, and Irving somehow felt strange and even creepy to this seemly normal atmosphere. It was hard to imagine that this house belonged to a murderer.'' ''Just as Irving as thinking, a police officers came out of the basement after a search. He approached Irving and two other detectives in a face of horror. It was obvious that he found something uncanny.''
 * Af0c679d14ccbb538f5c093dd831e20f.pngIrving: One, two... three!
 * Devon: Security video placed the murder scene car at this address; prints at the scene are a match for the car and the premises.
 * Irving: The man's a music teacher.
 * Irving: What the Hell is happening here?
 * Police officer: Detectives?

<p style="text-align:center;"> Trout Lake

<p style="text-align:center;"> Corbin's Cabin

''Jenny took a closer look at the pistol in her hand, which she had just taken from the thug they had captured. She looked at the thug who was tied on the chair in a sarcastic face.'' ''Ichabod was standing not far away. Jenny placed the pistol on the table, while she was still looking at Gunther. Abbie was standing in front of the tied-up man in a serious face.'' ''The man refused to speak, just looking at Abbie with silence. Abbie was annoyed.'' ''The man still kept silence. Ichabod and Abbie looked at the man stoically looking at all three like a sitting statue, no speaking nor moving. Jenny, however, was fed up with it. Getting more and more impatient, Jenny immediately paced herself towards Gunther.'' ''However, before Jenny was trying to hit the man, Abbie pushed her and blocked her way in an angry face. Another conflict had broke out between the sisters as Gunther watched in calmness.'' ''​As the sisters were quarreling, Ichabod sensed something strange. He immediately approached the man, but was blocked by Jenny and Abbie.'' ''Ichabod raised his hand, and both Jenny and Abbie had quiet down. Ichabod immediately checked the man, from his forehead to the back of his neck and then his chest. Then, Ichabod found a black mark that was like a wheel with eight spikes surrounding it.''
 * IMG_4094.png: Uzi pistol... Military specs.
 * Jenny: That's a lot of gun for Sleepy Hollow. Quite impressive.
 * Abbie: What's in the chest?
 * Abbie: Answer me.
 * Gunther_talking_to_Jenny_and_Ichabod.pngJenny: OK, enough! My turn.
 * Abbie: What the hell are you doing!?
 * Jenny: This man tried to kill us!
 * Captured_Gunther.pngAbbie: I am telling you to back down!
 * Jenny: You think we can tickle it out of him!?
 * Ichabod: Ladies...

Turning into a pale face, Ichabod's worst fear was proven, and he spoke his conclusions in German.



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: Das Marke von Reinhessen. Schatten Krieges. Fünfte Battalion. (German stands for: The Mark of Reinhessen. Shadow Warriors. Fifth Battalion.)... '

''All of a sudden, Ichabod remembered the Horseman's mark on his back. It was the mark of Hessians. Ichabod's face went pale.'' ''Ichabod's words made both Abbie and Jenny struck in speechless, as they never expected that there was still a Hessian mercenary in the 21st century, with the mark on the Horseman of Death. Ichabod glared at Gunther in a calmer face as he slowly gained back his composure.'' ''After that, Ichabod then spoke a sentence in German once again, questioning the thug. Then, Gunther finally raised his head, seemly impressed. He finally broke his silence.'' Gunther slowly and calmly answered Ichabod's question without any sign of panic. Abbie and Jenny looked at each other, and Jenny began to lower her head, deducing what Gunther was on about. Wandering in front of the man, Jenny quickly had the answer. Abbie looked at Jenny in confusion, and Jenny then gave her explanation. Jenny then took a deep breath and she looked at Gunther.
 * Ichabod: Like the Horseman before him, he's a Hessian.
 * Ichabod: Still at it after two centuries. It appears time hasn't diminished the Hessian's fascination with ancient artifacts.
 * Gunther: Your German is exceptional.
 * Ichabod: As is your tenacity. What's in the box?
 * Gunther: A doorway... to the Seventh Circle of Hell, where 72 condemned souls wait upon a shore... of flaming sand.
 * Ichabod: A flair for the dramatic, I see.
 * Gunther: The Book of Revelation is dramatic, for the Two Witnesses of what has to come.
 * Jenny: 72 demons?
 * Jenny: "The Lesser Key of Solomon." That is what you're talking about, right?
 * Abbie: Are we having the same conversation here?
 * Demon_army_by_vablo-d46swtq.jpg: It's a legend... about a book of Black Magic written by King Solomon, filled with... rituals that can conjure 72 demons he trapped in Hell.
 * Ichabod: Are we to understand this book itself is a key... capable of unleashing these demons into our world?
 * Jenny: One of its copies was found 12 centuries later by the Knights Templar during the Crusades, hidden away somewhere...

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Jenny: That is the thing in the box.

 ''Abbie angrily rebuked Gunther, but the latter was still acting calm, strangely calm, even if he was tied up on a chair. It seemed that he was not bothered by anything at all.'' Gunther spoke in a calm and friendly tone, speaking the things about these hidden mercenaries without even being questioned by the three in front of him.
 * Gunther: And thanks to your efforts, within our grasp at last.
 * Abbie: That is never gonna happen.
 * Gunther: You continue to misunderstand. These hours are the final movements of a symphony written centuries ago... and all the while, we've been hiding here in Sleepy Hollow, living ordinary, quiet lives as we pass your manicured lawns... smiling amicable smiles.

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Gunther: We're your neighbors... Perhaps even your friends. Yet underneath the skin, unhindered by conscience, compassion or remorse... That is who we are.' 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile,,,  <p style="text-align:center;"> Gunther's House  <p style="text-align:center;"> Basement 

''Meanwhile, under the lead of the police officer who just had a search underneath the basement, Irving led his squad walked towards the basement downstairs, armed with a torch. After reaching the bottom of the basement, they had a shocking discovery.''

''The basement was filled with chains, bottles, torture devices as well as poison. It was like some sort of lab where only some mad scientist from Japanese Unit 731 would reside in.''



''The air itself was filled with putrid smells, and it was cold and damp inside the basement. That made all of the officers very uncomfortable. Right beneath the calm and peaceful facade, this would be the only proof about the true nature inside the heart of this house's very owner.''

''There were also graffiti words on the wall, painted in blood red and written in German. Luke Morales found them when he flashed his torch on one of the walls.''

However, nothing of those would be comparable to the discover of the police captain himself.

When Irving walked to the middle of the basement, he found a wall decorated with numerous human bones as well as two skulls, putting in separated two piles.

Irving then lifted his torch and illuminated the wall above those bones... ''And then, he saw a large word written in red paint. It was a name. Irving's face turned into horror when he saw the name on the wall.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> MOLOCH 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile <p style="text-align:center;"> Corbin's Cabin

Meanwhile, in Corbin's cabin, Ichabod was still interrogating Gunther, who was more than willing to answer these questions.
 * IMG_4066.pngIchabod: How many of you are there?

A startling answer was soon given out.
 * Gunther: Even I don't know . And that's the whole point.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Gunther: But I assure you, we are everywhere, growing stronger, preparing for the inevitable, knowing our course is just. '

''Abbie frowned his eyebrows. She was quickly concerned by the countless hidden enemies inside Sleepy Hollow, but she was more concerned with another problem.''

It was about the identity of  the Hessian's leader . Abbie approached a pace further to Gunther, who looked at her calmly, as usual. ''Abbie widened her eyes in surprise. She heard the man she never met had spoke her full name out. Gunther then turned to look at both Jenny and Ichabod.'' ''Abbie looked at Jenny and Ichabod, widening her mouth in shock. She then turned to look at the man tied up in the chair.'' Hearing Abbie's question, Gunther let out a smug smirk, and it was apparent that he knew she would ask him this question all along.
 * Abbie: Sleeper cells always have someone at the top, one person who controls the board, who knows the endgame, who moves all chess pieces around..
 * Gunther: You have already have met him... Ms. Grace Abigail Mills.
 * Gunther: You all have... You, Ms. Jennifer Mills and Mr. Ichabod Crane.
 * Pocantico_Grove.jpgAbbie: How do you know my name?
 * Gunther: "He" told me.
 * Abbie: Who?
 * Gunther: He's inside of you, in your hearts, in your minds.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Gunther: He's been there since he appeared to you the day in the forest. 

"......!!"

''Abbie and Jenny both startled when they heard Gunther's words. They immediately recalled the day 13 years ago when they met a mysterious and demonic figure in the forest.''

Abbie also recalled on the day when former Detective Andy Brooks was found dead, the very same demonic figure appeared inside the mirror, before trying to attack her as the mirror broke into pieces.

Startled, Abbie paced back in a face filled with shock, but Gunther still continued his words. ''Abbie could not take it anymore. She immediately questioned Gunther, demanding the name of the mastermind behind all of those dreadful and deadly horror from behind.''
 * Gunther: He summoned the Horseman, and it was  him  who was behind the actions committed by the likes of Michael Langdon, Atticus Nevins and Christine Van Bilj. Remember this, with each dark spirits he brings to our world, his grand design gets stronger. He wants you to understand.
 * Abbie: Tell me his name!
 * Gunther: My brothers have the map, and soon the doorway will open, and my task will be completed.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Gunther: Moloch... wir... aufsteigen. '

''Gunther then chewed something in his mouth and swallowed it. Ichabod and Jenny were alerted when they saw this.'' Jenny was horrified when she saw Gunther's face went pale and his head started to get lower, as if he was dying all of a sudden. ''Ichabod, Abbie and Jenny immediately approached to Gunther, holding his chin. However, Gunther did not speak more. White liquid started to flow from his mouth. Ichabod looked at the man and quickly realized that he had committed suicide.'' ''No matter how hard they tried, none of Ichabod, Abbie nor Jenny could revive Gunther as the latter finally stopped struggling and died. The three stepped back and looked at the corpse in horror.'' ''It was clear that Gunther hid a cyanide pill inside his mouth, and when he spoke of the information to the three, he knew his time was up, which was why he behaved so calm and fearless. Frustrated, Abbie sighed and checked on the corpse. She then turned to Ichabod.'' Ichabod looked at Abbie in a glimmer of fright.
 * Jenny: There's something in his mouth.
 * Jenny: Something is in his mouth!
 * Ichabod: Hold him!
 * Ichabod: No! No!
 * Jenny: A cyanide pill.
 * Abbie: What did he say?
 * Ichabod: Moloch wir aufsteigen...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: It means, "Moloch shall rise." '

<p style="text-align:center;"> Corridor 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes after the escape 

''After some battle with their disadvantages, Tweedledee and Tweedledum were overpowered by Glario and Lumino, respectively, who pushed them on the ground and forced them to kneel. Sister Mary Eunice and Emma looked at the masked leader who slowly paced towards him.''


 * Leader: I thought I could be merciful to you people, but I was so wrong.

''The leader then chuckled bitterly. His hand then turned into a claw like a beast. Emma and Sister Mary Eunice tried to went towards him, but suddenly, several humanoid figure made of purple aura appeared behind them, before they attacked Sister Mary Eunice and Emma.'' ''Emma loudly cursed the leader before she was punched and had her jaw dropped on the ground. The leader then narrowed his eyes bitterly.'' ''The leader raised his hand, using some kind of magic spell to gather all those purple humanoid monsters to his side. Those purple monsters turned themselves into black mist before they fused together above the leader, forming a gigantic black hole above everyone.''
 * Emma: How dare you!
 * Leader: Now, the sentence is about to serve for you two, ladies.

''Sister Mary Eunice could hardly believe her eyes. She was even more terrified when she felt some kind of powerful force was dragging her (and Emma) into the void of darkness right in front of him. She immediately cried out as she recognized that kind of power.''



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Sister Mary Eunice: Elemental Void!!! '



''Tweedledee and Tweedledum looked at the Void Sphere and were both shocked. For a long period of time, the practice of Elemental of Void is considered as a taboo in Fairy Tale World, since it is a dangerous power that can erase anything when it was activated.''

However, the taboo is not required for the fanatics working for the infamous evil prominent, Elder Elemental Eye, the mastermind behind Elemental Evil Deities including Ollyhdra, Ogrémoch, Imix and Yan-C-Bin, now with their power and will being spread via their respective agents known as Elemental Prophets; Gar Shatterkeel, Marlos Urnayle, Vanifer and Aerisi Kalinoth. Tweedledee only knew one Elemental Evil Cult among the four; the Cult of Eternal Flame led by Vanifer, but it was due to the fact that it established a Dark Empire, known as the Empire of the Fiery Pit, to rule the ancient underground city Gauntylgrym with tyranny. ''Sister Mary Eunice was weak and tired due to the imprisonment and fight, and she had no idea that she and the Tweedles could withstand this kind of destructive power. Tweedledee tried to fetch his magical pistol, but Lumino pushed him further on the floor with a pair of cold and vacant eyes.''
 * Imix.jpgTweedledee: I get it! This man is an agent working for the forces that controlled the... the Empire of Fiery Pit!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: No way...

''Suddenly, as the Leader was about to strike down his attack, someone yelled behind him... and that person was a hooded woman with sallow skin and black hair, wearing a red-and-black suit in Chinese style. A sharp silver dart was bound on her belt.,'' ''Sister Mary Eunice and the Tweedle Brothers had their savior coming in time. It was Shao Jun,  a spiritual warrior formed from the soul of a Chinese assassin in 17th century and summoned back by the Hexenmeister's former missing leader.''
 * Shao Jun: Ms. Swan was right. You are no saint!

Shao Jun stabbed the current masked Leader from behind, as the evil magician let out a screech and hunched forward, being so distracted that he could not continue to use his magic power anymore.



''Sister Mary Eunice looked at Shao Jun as the latter worked hard to attack the Twin gaolers by surprise. After freeing the Tweedle Brothers, Shao immediately approached the strained nun, with a key in her hand.'' ''With no time to waste, Shao Jun immediately went to open the hand cuffs of Sister Mary Eunice. At the moment, Sister Mary Eunice felt that her magic power flowed back into her body once again.'' Before Sister Mary Eunice could response, Shao Jun turned back immediately, blocking the all-out attack of Glario and Lumino with her blade. ''Sister Mary Eunice immediately let out her angelic wings to flap the two gaolers, but before she was about to attack, she suddenly felt a slash on her arm. It was Shao, who slashed Sister Mary Eunice's arm with a small blade, but the cut was not serious.'' ''​Shao blocked another attack coming from the two gaolers, as the leader started to stood up. His wound started to heal. Looking at Shao in desperation, Sister Mary Eunice covered her cut before healing it.'' Feeling extremely guilty, Sister Mary Eunice closed her eyes and bit her lips, as she went back to Emma and the Tweedles. ''As the army of void soldiers started to approach them, Sister Mary Eunice immediately raised her blade and cast a spell. A second later, Sister Mary Eunice, Emma, Tweedledee and Tweedledum were all disappeared, and the void monsters had dropped on the ground when they tried to attack their enemies by jumping at them.'' ''With a smile, Shao sighed in relief, before she had reacted to Lumino's attack and blocked it from her. The ice blade of Lumino hit Shao Jun's blade, and it released a large amount of cold air which froze the blade of Shao Jun from metal into ice.''
 * Shao Jun: Here's the key. This cuff is made from void magic materials, and I hope I'm not too late.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Shao...
 * Shao Jun: Take Tweedle Brothers and Emma. Run! I'll handle them!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Shao!
 * Shao.Jun.full.1869716.jpgShao Jun: Why won't you listen? Escort Emma back to the rebellion base and go to the Witnesses immediately!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: But, Shao, I cannot leave you here!
 * Shao Jun: Run!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: ... Let's move.
 * Shao Jun: They're free...

Shao Jun held the blade inside her hand tightly, but then not just her blade was frozen, her hand started to cover in frost as well. ''As Lumino cried in rage, Shao Jun suddenly felt her stomach been impaled by something heated and sharp. It was a fiery blade, which pierced through Shao. Glario was standing behind Shao, holding the blade.'' ''Burnt and frozen, Shao was outmatched by those two underhanded foes. Shao opened her frosty hand against her will and dropped her blade, as she was shivering in pain. Glario withdrew the out of Shao, and she collapsed on the ground. The fully healed leader then walked to Shao Jun in a cold and vacant eyes.'' ''Shao tried to stood up despite her pain, but the leader simply raised his hand. Then, thousands of void shadows began to approach the area, leaping towards Shao.'' ''As the leader started mumble in malice, Shao was overpowered and turned powerless. She then lost conciousness as everything beside her fell into pitch black...''
 * Lumino: Surrender now...
 * Glario: ... or we'll make you go to Hell!
 * Shao Jun: You will not...
 * Leader: It serves you right.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Leader: Go to sleep.

''Ichabod, Abbie and Jenny immediately approached to Gunther, holding his chin. However, Gunther did not speak more. White liquid started to flow from his mouth. Ichabod looked at the man and quickly realized that he had committed suicide.'' ''No matter how hard they tried, none of Ichabod, Abbie nor Jenny could revive Gunther as the latter finally stopped struggling and died. The three stepped back and looked at the corpse in horror.'' ''It was clear that Gunther hid a cyanide pill inside his mouth, and when he spoke of the information to the three, he knew his time was up, which was why he behaved so calm and fearless. Frustrated, Abbie sighed and checked on the corpse. She then turned to Ichabod.'' Ichabod looked at Abbie in a glimmer of fright.
 * Jenny: There's something in his mouth.
 * Jenny: Something is in his mouth!
 * Ichabod: Hold him!
 * Ichabod: No! No!
 * Jenny: A cyanide pill.
 * Abbie: What did he say?
 * Ichabod: Moloch wir aufsteigen...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: It means, "Moloch shall rise." '

<p style="text-align:center;">' Meanwhile... '

<p style="text-align:center;"> Hexenmeister Community 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Violet Silk Room 

With a terrifying scream, Lumino and Glario watched in surprise as they saw Tweedledee and Emma Swan began falling down from a large hole which appeared on the ceiling right after the blast.
 * 301-301jdhfkidjebk2004.jpgEmma: BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA!

''Tweedledee immediately stood still on the ground before holding Emma inside his arms, but then he felt his head being hit by someone. It was Tweedledum, falling right after him. Tweedledee was knocked down, but his arm was still holding Emma.'' Emma then turned to Tweedledee before shockingly seeing him holding her inside his arms. ''Emma lifted her leg and kicked Tweedledee right at his nose, and with an agonized yell, Tweedledee dropped on the floor. Emma immediately stood up and looked at Tweedledee in panic.'' ''Emma and Tweedledum desperately tried to revive Tweedledee, while Sister Mary Eunice and the Twin gaolers watched in sheer awkwardness. Sister Mary Eunice had to cover her face in helplessness.'' ''Glario and Lumino looked at each other. It was apparent that the three intruders somehow blew a hole on the top before falling down into the room. The twins were quickly alerted. Glario chuckled in satisfaction.'' Lumino sharpened his eyes in a devious manner.
 * Emma: Oh, I'm not getting hurt?
 * Koujaku.full.1924531.jpgEmma: GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
 * Emma: Wait! Did I hit somewhere wrong!? Get up! Don't scare me...
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Are you guys trying to save me or try to make sarcasm out of me?
 * Glario: Look, there are new subjects for torturing! Shouldn't we do something?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Lumino: CAPTURE THEM! 

''Lumino immediately made a finger snap, before the alert started to roar across the entire castle in madness. However, Emma immediately rushed towards Glario. She punched Glarion's nose, in the manner similar to hitting Tweedledee, and made him fall on the ground.''

''Seizing the chance, Emma leaped and grabbed the key from his belt, heading towards the lock. Lumino immediately raised his hand, with swirling ice floating on his hand.''

''However, before he could release his power, Tweedledee immediately pushed him on the ground. The ice ball fired at the chandelier beside the hole, and the chandelier froze and fell, shattering into a million pieces of icy debris.''

Emma immediately opened the lock of the cage, rushing into the cell that jailed Sister Mary Eunice. ''Emma pulled a weakened Sister Mary Eunice up from the floor before escorting her out of the cell, while Tweedledee and Tweedledum were distracting the Twin gaolers with all sorts of tricks. Sister Mary Eunice looked at Emma and bit her lips.'' Emma ran fiercely while carrying Sister Mary Eunice on her back, narrowed her eyes. With confidence, Emma smiled.
 * Emma: Sister, are you all right?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Thank you, Ms. Swan.
 * Emma: We need to get you out of here first. The key of your hand cuffs is now inside a secret chamber, and Shao was getting to the place.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: How did you know that?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Emma: I had my own undercover hidden beside him.

''Sister Mary Eunice widened her eyes and could not believe her ears. The two were now rushing towards the corridor and stopped running. Emma looked aside and found out that neither Lumino nor Glaior were chasing them, so she sighed in relief. She let Sister Mary Eunice sitting on the ground, as the latter was still confused.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice nodded her head. She was still mildly confused by the incident, but at least she could find some sense inside this pattern.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice thought about Christine and narrowed her eyes in anger. She clenched her fist in rage.'' Emma shook her head in confidence.
 * UX7233P115DT20140612101619.jpgSister Mary Eunice: You mean... Mr. Gold?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I don't understand. Isn't him a mole for you to take care of Pandora?
 * Emma: He was, until I began to suspect that there was at least one spy inside Hexenmeister Community, and that new leader was not a saint either. There could be moles sent by Moloch to overlook us. I recently found that there was no big move from Pandora for now, and so I called Gold back and made him to overlook the new leader of HC. However, I'm also making Regina to be a mole in case Gold tried to do other stuff that would jeopardize us.
 * Hungary.full.795793.jpgSister Mary Eunice: You suspect that there are moles inside the Hexenmeister Community?
 * Emma: Indeed, and now since many traces of Christine's evil crime could still be found in Enchanted Forest, including her copycats, the situation could only turn worse...
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I thought we destroyed her... By the way, is that what we need to do now, waiting in here without doing anything?
 * Emma: Of course not, Sister. Everything seems fine for now. We only need to wait for Tweedledee and Tweedledum to come here, so that we can find Shao who will...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Tweedledee: The Hell it's fine! '

''Before Emma could finish, Tweedledee and Tweedledum rushed towards her side, with Tweedledee's hair scorched and smokey while Tweedledum had his head covered in frost. Emma and Sister Mary Eunice were both astonished when they saw the two like this.'' ''Tweedledee and Tweedledum then turned to the opposite side, seeing the two gaolers approaching them. Lumino was covered in snow and ice while Glario turned fiery red. The Tweedle Brothers were so frightened that they hid themselves immediately behind the two women.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice looked at the two with a large drop of sweat on her face. They could only watch as Lumino and Glario walked towards the team. Lumino sharpened his eyes with a menacing grin.'' ''Glario suddenly stopped walking. He gave Lumino a death glare. Lumino was quite confused.'' ''All of a sudden, without any warning, Glario pushed Lumino on the wall by grabbing his shoulders, regardless of any risk of being frozen. Lumino felt scorching pain on his shoulder.'' ''As he was pushing Lumino hard, Glario suddenly heard the words of Lumino and felt that something was wrong. He turned to the side where those "fugitives" were still standing at... but they were gone.'' Not far away, Sister Mary Eunice were escorted by Tweedle Brothers and Emma Swan in a rapid speed. ''Panicked, Glario released his brother almost immediately. Right after releasing Lumino, Glario immediately reacted to the escaping as he raised his fist towards the sky.'' ''Glario immediately went to chase the escaping four, but suddenly, he stopped. He heard someone speaking behind him.'' ''Glario immediately regained his composure and turned his face to the leader. Both Glario and Lumino could do nothing but making a salute.'' ''The leader's eyes sharpened. His face was hidden beneath his mask, but still it gave Glario and Lumino a frightening and chilly feelings. They were so scared that they dared not say "no", not even once. The leader then teleported himself away.''
 * Tweedledum: Oh, man... Those twin brothers were inhumane! They burned and froze us with their technique!
 * Tweedledee: And now they are coming for us!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: You two...
 * Lumino: So, there are traitors in our base. I guess we need to arrest them.
 * Glario: Traitors have no future according to our law! Allow me to execute them on sight!
 * Lumino: No, I guess we should keep them alive.
 * Lumino: What?
 * Glario: Keep them alive? I don't think so! They deserve execution!
 * Lumino: It should be the leader who gave order to execute! It is still not the time to gave them a verdict that deserves execution yet! You're wasting our time!
 * U=1329177218,460667343&fm=214&gp=0.jpgTweedledum: How lucky we are! We can't believe that they argued so hard that they bought us more time to escape this place!
 * Tweedledee: Oh, shut up!
 * Glario: BLAST IT! COME BACK!!!
 * Leader: Let me deal with them.
 * Glario: Master?
 * Leader: You two just need to stay here, standby, and I'll summon you if necessary.
 * Glario: Quite interesting.

One second later, he appeared in front of Emma, Sister Mary Eunice and the Tweedle Brothers, 1km away from the twins, so that what he was about to say would not be heard by the twins The fugitives stopped running as soon as they saw the Leader looking at them menacingly. The leader looked at Emma and chuckled bitterly. Emma only glared at him in sheer menace.
 * Emma: You?
 * Leader: What a surprise, Ms. Swan, to see you turn against me.
 * Emma: From the day I first met you, my own instinct tells me that you're no saint, but I cannot expect that you had gone so far. I want to ask you one thing: Are you a minion of Moloch?

<p style="text-align:center;"> Corridor 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes after the escape 

''After some battle with their disadvantages, Tweedledee and Tweedledum were overpowered by Glario and Lumino, respectively, who pushed them on the ground and forced them to kneel. Sister Mary Eunice and Emma looked at the masked leader who slowly paced towards him.''


 * Leader: I thought I could be merciful to you people, but I was so wrong.

''The leader then chuckled bitterly. His hand then turned into a claw like a beast. Emma and Sister Mary Eunice tried to went towards him, but suddenly, several humanoid figure made of purple aura appeared behind them, before they attacked Sister Mary Eunice and Emma.'' ''Emma loudly cursed the leader before she was punched and had her jaw dropped on the ground. The leader then narrowed his eyes bitterly.'' ''The leader raised his hand, using some kind of magic spell to gather all those purple humanoid monsters to his side. Those purple monsters turned themselves into black mist before they fused together above the leader, forming a gigantic black hole above everyone.''
 * Emma: How dare you!
 * Leader: Now, the sentence is about to serve for you two, ladies.

''Sister Mary Eunice could hardly believe her eyes. She was even more terrified when she felt some kind of powerful force was dragging her (and Emma) into the void of darkness right in front of him. She immediately cried out as she recognized that kind of power.''



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Sister Mary Eunice: Elemental Void!!! '



''Tweedledee and Tweedledum looked at the Void Sphere and were both shocked. For a long period of time, the practice of Elemental of Void is considered as a taboo in Fairy Tale World, since it is a dangerous power that can erase anything when it was activated.''

However, the taboo is not required for the fanatics working for the infamous evil prominent, Elder Elemental Eye, the mastermind behind Elemental Evil Deities including Ollyhdra, Ogrémoch, Imix and Yan-C-Bin, now with their power and will being spread via their respective agents known as Elemental Prophets; Gar Shatterkeel, Marlos Urnayle, Vanifer and Aerisi Kalinoth. Tweedledee only knew one Elemental Evil Cult among the four; the Cult of Eternal Flame led by Vanifer, but it was due to the fact that it established a Dark Empire, known as the Empire of the Fiery Pit, to rule the ancient underground city Gauntylgrym with tyranny. ''Sister Mary Eunice was weak and tired due to the imprisonment and fight, and she had no idea that she and the Tweedles could withstand this kind of destructive power. Tweedledee tried to fetch his magical pistol, but Lumino pushed him further on the floor with a pair of cold and vacant eyes.''
 * Imix.jpgTweedledee: I get it! This man is an agent working for the forces that controlled the... the Empire of Fiery Pit!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: No way...

''Suddenly, as the Leader was about to strike down his attack, someone yelled behind him... and that person was a hooded woman with sallow skin and black hair, wearing a red-and-black suit in Chinese style. A sharp silver dart was bound on her belt.,'' ''Sister Mary Eunice and the Tweedle Brothers had their savior coming in time. It was Shao Jun,  a spiritual warrior formed from the soul of a Chinese assassin in 17th century and summoned back by the Hexenmeister's former missing leader.''
 * Shao Jun: Ms. Swan was right. You are no saint!

Shao Jun stabbed the current masked Leader from behind, as the evil magician let out a screech and hunched forward, being so distracted that he could not continue to use his magic power anymore.



''Sister Mary Eunice looked at Shao Jun as the latter worked hard to attack the Twin gaolers by surprise. After freeing the Tweedle Brothers, Shao immediately approached the strained nun, with a key in her hand.'' ''With no time to waste, Shao Jun immediately went to open the hand cuffs of Sister Mary Eunice. At the moment, Sister Mary Eunice felt that her magic power flowed back into her body once again.'' Before Sister Mary Eunice could response, Shao Jun turned back immediately, blocking the all-out attack of Glario and Lumino with her blade. ''Sister Mary Eunice immediately let out her angelic wings to flap the two gaolers, but before she was about to attack, she suddenly felt a slash on her arm. It was Shao, who slashed Sister Mary Eunice's arm with a small blade, but the cut was not serious.'' ''​Shao blocked another attack coming from the two gaolers, as the leader started to stood up. His wound started to heal. Looking at Shao in desperation, Sister Mary Eunice covered her cut before healing it.'' Feeling extremely guilty, Sister Mary Eunice closed her eyes and bit her lips, as she went back to Emma and the Tweedles. ''As the army of void soldiers started to approach them, Sister Mary Eunice immediately raised her blade and cast a spell. A second later, Sister Mary Eunice, Emma, Tweedledee and Tweedledum were all disappeared, and the void monsters had dropped on the ground when they tried to attack their enemies by jumping at them.'' ''With a smile, Shao sighed in relief, before she had reacted to Lumino's attack and blocked it from her. The ice blade of Lumino hit Shao Jun's blade, and it released a large amount of cold air which froze the blade of Shao Jun from metal into ice.''
 * Shao Jun: Here's the key. This cuff is made from void magic materials, and I hope I'm not too late.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Shao...
 * Shao Jun: Take Tweedle Brothers and Emma. Run! I'll handle them!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Shao!
 * Shao.Jun.full.1869716.jpgShao Jun: Why won't you listen? Escort Emma back to the rebellion base and go to the Witnesses immediately!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: But, Shao, I cannot leave you here!
 * Shao Jun: Run!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: ... Let's move.
 * Shao Jun: They're free...

Shao Jun held the blade inside her hand tightly, but then not just her blade was frozen, her hand started to cover in frost as well. ''As Lumino cried in rage, Shao Jun suddenly felt her stomach been impaled by something heated and sharp. It was a fiery blade, which pierced through Shao. Glario was standing behind Shao, holding the blade.'' ''Burnt and frozen, Shao was outmatched by those two underhanded foes. Shao opened her frosty hand against her will and dropped her blade, as she was shivering in pain. Glario withdrew the out of Shao, and she collapsed on the ground. The fully healed leader then walked to Shao Jun in a cold and vacant eyes.'' ''Shao tried to stood up despite her pain, but the leader simply raised his hand. Then, thousands of void shadows began to approach the area, leaping towards Shao.'' ''As the leader started mumble in malice, Shao was overpowered and turned powerless. She then lost conciousness as everything beside her fell into pitch black...''
 * Lumino: Surrender now...
 * Glario: ... or we'll make you go to Hell!
 * Shao Jun: You will not...
 * Leader: It serves you right.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Leader: Go to sleep.

''Shao Jun was arrested by the two gaolers, and they forced her to kneel in front of the evil HC Leader. The evil HC Leader only looked at Shao Jun with disdain.'' ''Looking aside in scorn, Shao Jun only answered in a scoff. Judging by her words, she had figured out the so-called leader's true identity once she confronted him.'' ​The two gaolers were offended by the words. ''​Shao Jun shook her head with no fear. She was still speaking to the Leader who looked at her in a cold face.''
 * Assassin_s_creed_chronicles_china_shao_jun_by_phamoz-d85nzkz.jpgShao Jun: You get off of me!
 * Leader: Only I can order these two people, since I made them into the place. By the way, Shao Jun... you're such a disappointment. I thought you are on my side, but unfortunately, it's clear now that you're not. Now, before I chain you in prison filled with void of nothingness, I command you to speak those names of other traitors who worked with you, Emma, the Tweedle Brothers and Sister Mary Eunice to stand against me!
 * Shao Jun: Well, we never are traitors, because we only serve the right leader. That right leader is not you!
 * Shao Jun: I will not say a single word, because I can see who you are. The biggest traitor here is you... and you are not one of us all along.
 * ElementalEvil.jpgLumino: Think twice before you speak, prisoner, or I'll clean your stupid smile from your face.
 * Shao Jun: You made those two gaolers. You are not the one we can trust. Your technique... filled with nothing but nothingness itself ... had betrayed you. You are NOT a puppet of those Four Elemental Evil Prophets, are you? In fact, judging by your techniques and skills, I think it's quite the polar opposite.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Shao Jun: I think THEY are YOUR puppet... if I'm not wrong. '

The Leader started at Shao Jun via his mask with menace, but Shao Jun avoided eye contact with him in a face filled with spite. ''Shao Jun did not finish. With sheer brute force, Glorio gave her a punch on her cheek, shutting her up. The HC Leader only walked forward and narrowed his eyes. He walked towards Shao Jun and narrowed his eyes in menace.'' ''​A deep male voice came from the side of the door as everyone heard the voice and looked at the door. It was Crow Faux standing at the door. He looked at the leader with menace.'' ​Two gaolers were alerted and tried to walk to Crow, but the HC Leader raised his hand. ​Glario scratched his head in confusion. ''​Much to Crow's sheer astonishemt and confusion, the Leader did not lose his composure as he estimated all of this all along. He chuckled in a dark manner.'' ''Glorio and Lumino looked at each other. Neither of them knew what to do but agreeing their Master.'' ''Glorio and Lumino nodded and immediately went away back into the deeper part of the dungeon with Glorio, escorting Shao Jun into her cell. She did not speak a single word, but she stared at Crow and the leader with confusion. Glorio hit her with a stick and forced her to go downstairs.''
 * Shao Jun: I don't want to spill what I know about you out, because I want to spare you from your indignity, but when I said this, I think everyone will know who you REALLY ARE...
 * Leader: You think I'll be afraid of you? I have already heard that there was a spy inside my palace, and now tell me who they--
 * Shin.(AMNESIA).full.1254690.jpg???: The spy himself is now here, Milord.
 * Crow: I am the spy, and I hate to hide myself anymore! I am here to face you, in a real confrontation! Tell me the truth... Who are you!?
 * Leader: Stop it. I'll deal with him. You two need to escort Shao Jun into her cell.
 * Glario: But Master, what about the escapee? Leaving them outside is dangerous, don't you think so, Milord?
 * Leader: Just let them go. It can make the future more interesting.
 * Lumino: Yes, Master.
 * Crow: (think) * They ignored me... *

''As the twin gaolers disappeared, Crow said nothing. He only looked at the Leader as the latter chuckled again.'' ''Crow was shocked by the Leader's word. He though the HC Leader was his enemies, but he never expected that the latter was also an agent of Moloch himself. It was Crow's turn to look at the leader with sheer confusion, but the latter only looked at him with calmness.'' ''The HC Leader then turned back to Crow in a look of menace. Starting to turn panicking as this was unexpected, Crow widened his eyes and bit his lips.'' ''Surprised, Crow calmed himself down and stared at the Leader as he turned back to Crow, chuckling. Much to Crow's shock, the leader slowly removed his mask in front of him. One minute later, Crow then saw the HC Leader's fear in shock.  Crow was shocked even more as soon as he saw the face of the HC Leader in front of him...'' ''​Finally showing his face beneath his mask, the so-called Leader grinned wickedly. His face started hiding into the shadows soon after Crow saw him clearly, even for a very brief time.'' ''​Crow almost stepped back in horror as he widened his eyes. Most part of his eyes had turned white. The leader then put his mask back on his face.'' ''The HC Leader didn't respond the words. He spoke something else as he approached Crow two steps closer. The fact was now clear. This so-called HC Leader is the TRUE spy within the Hexenmeister Community all along.''
 * Leader: I know it is you, Crow Faux. However, what a coincidence it is.  Given to the fact that we secretly served the same Master, I will not spill your identity. You can do whatever you please, as long as you keep me alive. 
 * Leader: I am not your friend... and I am not your enemy. I am simply... a partner, or even a blank sheet of paper. Well, I am simplicity itself, if you like.
 * Crow: You mean...  You are a servant of Lord Moloch himself?  But... Wait a minute...I have a feelings of meeting you before .
 * Leader: Now, things are getting more simplified. After all, Simplicity means Perfection, as the Elder Elemental Eye told us so. By the way, thanks to Michael Langdon and Mephisto's assault, I finally get into this place.
 * Crow: It is... you!?
 * Leader: You think you are a spy? Maybe, but you are a lame spy, not to mention that I noticed you  one month after I usurped the place of Lead Hexenmeister . In fact, there is another spy who spied into the HC Council, much earlier than you, having an influence much deeper of yours, and he is looking at you right now.
 * Crow: You... But I thought you're dead...

 * Phyllis: The Opera performance today is a success... Handel...

''... so did Phyllis Peach thought. As the diva was singing on the stage, singing a part of Handel's opera, Julius Ceasar.''

''Focusing herself entirely on the play, Phyllis closed her eyes as she followed the tone of the diva, as her voice came into her eyes... She had no idea what that Italian woman was singing about, but she could felt the emotions in it. Her eyes soon filled with tears somehow.'' ''Not far away, there was another man in black suit and orange blond hair sitting not far away, wearing a black hat. Beside him, there was another woman with  a young woman with lime colored hair and green dress .''

''Phyllis did not pay attention to them despite she saw them. She was more focused on the performance, and everything else were reserved for the aftermath. Phyllis also noticed other people she knew inside this opera house, including a man with dark brown hair. He was sitting in another man with white hair, who Phyllis didn't know.''

''The brown-haired man smiled at Phyllis, who smiled back and turned her focus again to the play. As the diva sang out the last sentence of the play, Phyllis felt that her heart was about to melt in joy for such a splendid ending... ''

''As the performance ended, Phyllis can't help herself from standing up and giving claps towards the stage, as soon as the entire hall was filled with thunderous applause. The brown-haired man stood up with a smile and joined the applause as well.''

''The diva smiled and gave the audience an elegant bow. The applause lasted more than 5 minutes, and Phyllis did not stopped clapping until the appalause itself began to cease.  The show was over, and Phyllis was satisfied. She stood up steadily and planned to meet some old friends she saw in the opera house.''

Among them, there were her own colleagues in the Order of Flourish, secretly hiding among people as either public images or just ordinary men.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> After the performance 

After the performance was over and the audience was dismmised, the man with orange blond hair and a black suit were seen talking with Psyllis, while that young woman with lime colored hair and green dress were standing beside him. ''The orange-haired man was named Orlando Orson, who is one of the most influencial businessman in the town and even to the state, running a famous medical company known as Niveus Pharmaceuticals and is very rich. However, unbeknowest to the public of Sleepy Hollow, Orlando was secretly a member from the Order of Flourish, like Phyllis and Selina Strawberry. His codename is "Orange."''
 * Nakahara.Chuuya.(Bungou.Stray.Dogs).full.2070815.jpg???: It's been too long since you've properly cook for us, Ms. Parker.
 * Phyllis: Come over and I will cook for you, Mr. Orson. I've been busy with cases these days.

Hearing Phyllis words, Orlando shrugged both of his shoulders with a sigh, shaking his head. Orlando then turned to the lime-haired young woman immediately after finishing his above words. ''The lime-haired young woman was wearing a silk dress. She had a pair of emerald green eyes, which now looked at Phyllis in admiration. It took Phyllis two seconds to notice her.'' Phyllis shook hand with the woman named Lillian Limousine and smiled back, before she then stopped shaking hands and put her attention back to Orlando.
 * Orlando: I say "properly", which means dinner and the show.
 * Orlando: Have you ever seen her cook? It's like an entire performance. She used to throw such exquisite dinner parties.
 * Young woman: Hmm...
 * Phyllis: Ms. Lillian Limousine... Good to see you here.

''As they were talking, the young man with brown hair had apporached the trio, accompanied by a silver-haired man beside him. Phyllis was still talking to Orlando.'' ''Phyllis the took another sip from the wine cup she was holding in her hand. She and Orlando looked at each other and smiled.'' ''Orlando nodded and chuckled. Just then, the young woman named Lillian noticed that the brown-haired young man, aforementioned, had approached Phyllis with a smile.'' ''Phyllis then looked back and saw the brown haired man alongside his silver haired friend behind her. She smiled and shook hand with the former.'' ​The brown-haired man named Pedro also shook his hand with Phyllis and smiled back. ''Pedro then pointed at the silver-haired man. The man named Leonard was a tall and pale-skinned man with a pair of eyes with strange pupil. His pupil flashed between yellow and lilac.'' ''Phyllis and Leonard shook hands as well. Lillian beside them seemed confused. She never saw Pedro before, but she realized that Phyllis and Pedro know each other.'' Phyllis looked at Lillian as she put her hand on her chin, looking at her cryptically. Pedro who was standing beside her, however, just cryptically smiled at Lillian, narrowed his eyes and whispered. ''Phyllis then gave a slight glare at Pedro, who went quiet immediately. Phyllis then returned to her normal composure quickly before asking Pedro.'' Pedro nodded with a smile. However, Leonard beside Pedro spoke otherwise with a smile as he looked at Phyllis. Phyllis smiled cryptically before she shook her hand with Pedro again. Pedro smiled and shook back. ''Phyllis then shook with Leonard as well with a happy smile on her face. Apparently, she was glad to meet Pedro and Leonard after the performance.''
 * Phyllis: Where were we, Mr. Orson?
 * Orlando: You heard me. Used to. 
 * Phyllis: And I will again, once inspiration strikes.
 * Goro_and_Sae.pngPhyllis: I can't force a feast. The feast must present itself.
 * Orlando: It's a dinner party, not a unicorn.
 * Phyllis: Oh, but the feast is life. You put the life in your belly and you live.
 * Lillian: I believe this young gentleman is trying to get you attention.
 * Phyllis: Hello, Pedro.
 * Pedro: Hi, it's so good to see you here. This is my friend Leonard.
 * Phyllis: Good evening.
 * Lillian: How did you know each other?
 * Phyllis: There should remain some mystery to my life outside the opera.
 * Pedro: Once, I was one of her clients.
 * Lillian: Oh.
 * Nakajima.Atsushi.(Bungou.Stray.Dogs).full.2071794.jpgPhyllis: Did you enjoy the performance?
 * Pedro: I did. I loved it. Every minute.
 * Leonard: His eyes kept wandering, more interested in you than what was happening on the stage.
 * Phyllis: Oh, don't say too much. You must leave something for us to discuss next week.
 * Phyllis: Pedro, good to see you.
 * Pedro: Me, too.
 * Phyllis: And Leonard...

''After the shaking hands, Pedro and Leonard left with glee. Phyllis then looked down on the ground with silence. All of a sudden, she felt hungry as her stomach began to growl. It was the dinner time.''

To hide her embarrasement, Phyllis whispered to Orlando with the smile on her face unchanged. Lillian smiled and Orlando chuckled.
 * Phyllis: Who's hungry?

Back in Town...
<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Sleepy Hollow 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Phyllis Peach's house 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Kitchen 

''Inside her kitchen, the preperation work of the dinner party in Halloween is going on. Phyllis was preparing some cold dishes - roses made of large hawthorn rolls she prepared herself, before she put it on her plate.'' Not far away, a tall blond man was inside the kitchen as well, helping Phyllis in preperation of the cold dishes. ''Yeah, yeah, as you probably awared, he man was another member of the Order of Flourish, also an amoral and corrupt green-eyed monster known to his colleagues as Blaze Banana. He had also received the invitation of Phyllis, and he accepted her offering. In order to show off to a woman like her, Blaze went to Phyllis' house and helped her with cold dishes and desserts. ''
 * Phyllis: I've been unspeakably rude. I haven't offer you a drink.

''The invitation card follows the following format, and there are over a dozen cards like that. The dinner will be held three days later, but still, there is one month to the real October 31st in spite of all sorts of Halloween entertainment began across the town.''

''In spite of the matter of fact, Phyllis' old habit died hard. Phyllis somehow had a habit of regarding every day as Halloween, and people who knew her don't seemed to mind about it after all.''



''Blaze looked at to Phyllis with a proud grin. He thought Phyllis was treating him like some kind of guest of honor.'' Phyllis then left the work she was doing and went to the refrigirator. Opening her fridge, Phyllis took a large copper brown bottle and looked at Blaze with a smile. ''Blaze put the kitchen knife back on the table and went to Phyllis with a smile on his face. Phyllis poured the beer into a cup and gave it to Blaze.'' ''After pouring a cup, Phyllis gave Blaze that cup of beer, and Phyllis took a sip from it. He tasted it carefully and eventually, he managed to draw a conclusion.'' Phyllis and Blaze smiled to each other as they prepared to get on with their work. ''With her smile faded, Phyllis turned serious once more and went on to her table and started cutting celeries. Blaze took another sip in his beer.'' ''Blaze then took a look at Phyllis with a pair of eyes full of suspicion. He was getting curious.'' Phyllis was still doing her work and stayed focus. ''Placing the bottle next to his elbow, Blaze looked at Phyllis with surprise. He then smiled as well.'' Blaze then focused himself back on his work, so did Phyllis, until two seconds later, Phyllis asked some question as well. Blaze grinded a meatball with his hands and put it in a glass bowl beside him. ''Phyllis looked at Blaze in a face of awkward. She and Selina once had some uncomfortable arguement days ago, and Selina later returned back to the base. Fortunately, the Light Lord never give her a penalty as Pedro claimed that Phyllis was busy on many cases and tried to enforce Sleepy Hollow's safety.'' Holding the cup again in his hand, Blaze went to Phyllis in calmness. Phyllis then sighed in relief and started to do her work again, but she was still asking. ''Blaze Banana, born Blaze Blatant Brosnan, is the current lead of the Sleepy Hollow Bugle, a renouned daily newspaper press in Sleepy Hollow. Blaze has now become like a king in the press of Sleepy Hollow who would publish many newspapers and books about current situation in Sleepy Hollow, but he tended to avoid supernatural events in the town, despite he seemed to know something was always happening. He just hid them on purpose.'' As soon as Blaze mentioned Macey in a face of regret, Phyllis rose her head and stopped cutting things.
 * Blaze: I appreciate beer more than wine.
 * Phyllis: It's not what you appreciate; it's that you appreciate. A compromise?
 * Phyllis: Beer brewed in a wine barrel. Two years. I bottled it myself.
 * Blaze: Ooh, I'm impressed.
 * Blaze: A Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrel.
 * Sae_niijima_by_soutaizumi-dbecfs5.jpgPhyllis: I love your pallet.
 * Blaze: I love your beer.
 * Blaze: I taste oak...
 * Blaze: What else do I taste in there?
 * Phyllis: I will only answer that yes or no.
 * Blaze: Are you going to serve it on your dinner party?
 * Phyllis: No, this is your reserve.
 * Red_riding_hood_by_silvestru.jpg: My own private reserve?... Why, thank you.
 * Phyllis: I'm curious about something. Are you purposefully avoiding the subject of Ms. Selina Sarandon, Blaze?
 * Blaze: Absolutely.
 * Toma_amnesia_by_chienu-d5ikddq.pngPhyllis: Not on my account, I hope. I'm happy to get to your perspective.
 * Blaze: No, it's not. It's on Captain Frank Irving's account. I don't want any information about Selina that I shouldn't have as her friend.
 * Phyllis: Did Captain Irving asked you to publish a profile about La Glotón?
 * Blaze: The profiling never continues since that tragic car accident that crippled Macey.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Phyllis: Irving's daughter? '

''The sad story happened two years ago, during the long-time investigation of La Glotón, Irving was too busy that he hardly got home. The relationship between him and his wife, Cynthia, gone sour.''

''The breaking point of their frozen marriage was due to a car accident. Irving's 9-year-old daughter, Macey, was crippled by a drunken driver.''

Then, Irving had to divorce his wife in a heavy heart, and his wife left him with their daughter, who was currently under custody.

''Mrs. Cynthia Irving is now working in a lawyer's office as a district attorney. She and Phyllis remains close friends and rivals on court.'' ''Blaze nodded. Phyllis sighed and looked at the table. She seemed very sad about that horrible thing happened on Irving's daughter.'' ''Just then, Phyllis heard a phone call rang and looked aside to her telephone. She frowned her brows and took a sigh and turned to Blaze, forcing herself a smile to him.'' With Blaze nodded, Phyllis walked straight towards her telephone and answered it swiftly. ''Phyllis then narrowed her gaze as she slowly heard about the words from the phone, and she bit her lips and rolled her eyes. She then whispered in a deep voice. Blaze was focusing on the cutting and he never pay any attention on what Phyllis said.'' ''It should be noted that Blaze Banana is an utterly and extremely misogynistic man. He would ignore a woman's phone call if it had little to nothing involved to his own goods.'' ''Phyllis then hung up the phone and let out a sigh. She then looked at Blaze with a calm face.'' Clearly she was lying, but Blaze simply doesn't care about it at all. Phyllis, however, gave Blaze a glare as a warning. Blaze scoffed and shrugged his shoulder and turned to Phyllis with a scornful smile. Phyllis merely looked down on the table as she continued to cut meat with her knife.
 * Blaze: Yes.
 * Phyllis: Very sad.
 * Phyllis: Excuse me.
 * Phyllis: Hello?
 * Phyllis: They're here under the permission of this town's authority, Doctor. Let Crane help you out, and I won't interfere unless it was absolutely necessary. Also, try not to ask his true identity, as it's clear that he's a historical... Hmm, I see. It might get hard for someone like Dr. Brennen, but there's nothing you guys need to worry about him. Thank you. Goodbye..
 * Phyllis: It's a wrong number.
 * Blaze: Then let it be. After all, I'm anticipating the dinner tonight. I was so jealous of those other guests of yours, but now, given to your private reserve, I can even make Selina jealous of me, as she should! 
 * Phyllis: Watch out, Blaze. Selina's gonna kill you if she heard you say about her. You just can't help yourself from saying words full of all those scorns to the women, after all. I should remind you that these days, Selina is getting better from her recovery, but that doesn't mean she'll act deranged again.
 * Blaze: Remember, Phyllis, we're on the same boat after all. If I'm in danger, and so will you. If I sink, you'll sink with me for sure.

Blaze let out a proud smile as he figured out that Phyllis had apparently made a compromise, and he moved one step forward. ''Phyllis raised her head and faced Blaze, who smiled at her again. Calvin Cranberry is another person who worked for the Order of Flourish, with his real name as Calvin Riggs. He works as a journalist in Sleepy Hollow Bugle and being a subordinate of Blaze.'' ''Phyllis stopped cutting all of a sudden when Blaze had mentioned the name Dragonia. She looked very upset about it, and Blaze immediately changed another topic to avoid conflicts.'' Phyllis looked at Blaze in a strict face. Phyllis seemed to cool down and continued to cut meat into pieces. Blaze shrugged his shoulder helplessly and took another sip on his beer. Phyllis looked at Blaze with confusion before she started to cut another piece of cucumber. Phyllis then looked at Blaze with a curious face, and Blaze looked at her calmly before starting his own explaination. Blaze then took another sip on his beer, and Phyllis looked back on the cucumber, cutting it.
 * Phyllis: Can we return to discuss about the killer, please? That's more interesting. 
 * Blaze: Sure it is. I still remember that when the whole stuff of Selina's family scandals was blowing the whole town's top years ago, you had me examining the reporters' news.
 * Phyllis: I'm grateful that you were examining the reporters instead of the killer. You realize those reporters like Calvin believed that we were actually having an affair?
 * Blaze: You were already having an affair in an age of 15, you know... with Dragonia--
 * Red.Riding.Hood.full.1928934.jpgBlaze: Selina does that, too, you know.
 * Phyllis: What? Having affairs?
 * Blaze: Flirtatiously change the subject. You have the pathology in common.
 * Phyllis: Or we just have you in common. I recall even before I met Selina, you never mentioned him.
 * Blaze: Probably because I just want everybody to leave her alone.
 * Blaze: It's not even about Selina.
 * Blaze: Irving is obsessed with La Gloton and he's grooming Selina to catch the killer.
 * Phyllis: And I sincerely hope they succeeded.

Act 2 - Dinner's Preperation
<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later  <p style="text-align:center;"> 20 km away  <p style="text-align:center;"> Side of the Town  <p style="text-align:center;"> Merry Melody's Circus 

The eerie-looking children of the town's circus, as well as some little people called "dwarves" by many people, started to chant a song known as "The Tale of La Gloton" in an eerie voice, surrounded by other grown-up actors and clowns as their audiences.
 * Circus_2_by_aalexandrin.jpgCircus Children: * Beware La Gloton / Our dear Ringmistress say / The beast might took organs away / For someone that can pay / Or they're just trying make fun of the cops / And let their mind sway / Sad that the killer is never get caught / Even till this day *

''Every town has its circus, and Sleepy Hollow is no difference. The circus often acts in all sorts of well-known festivals, including the upcoming Halloween. They tried to act as spooky as possible.'' Among them, there was a pink-hair girl, chanting the song while making gestrues out of cheerfulness like a bubbly child. ''While speaking, the girl was chewing bubblegum. Soon, a large pink bubble started to blew from her mouth until it bursted, the girl simply chewed the gum once again and blinked. Just then, a green-hair boy appeared into the circus tent and shouted out.'' The pink-haired girl immediately raised her hands and made the crowd stopped chanting, but she was quite dissatisfied for the green-haired boy's abrupt intervention. ''The pink-haired girl then acted like a ghost in front of the green-haired boy, with a mishcheivous smile. The boy's name was revealed to be Alexandar. However, no matter how hard the girl acted, Alexandar was not amused.'' He then gave a phone to the pink-haired girl, who was revealed to be a girl named Bubbly. Bubbly immediately turned into a pale face when she heard the phrase "Ringmistress", who is a young woman of enigmatic identity that owns the Merry Melody circus. ''Bubbly trembled as she took the phone. As one of the circus' first-string members, she knew who the Ringamistress is. She's quite afraid of the young woman as she is somewhat a mad artist who designs the circus in an overly dark style like Goth. The majority of the circus tent are composed by red, white and black, which is quite scary for a circus.''
 * 50336786_p0_master1200.jpgPink-haired girl: Well, Sister Selina Strawberry will come visit us to day, my brothers and sisters. Let keep more practice to make the fun out of it! She'll be pleased with our rhymes out of that dreadful urban legend! Good piece for Halloween!
 * Green-Haired boy: Everyone stop! Everyone stop! The chant of "La Gloton's Tale" needs to take a stop, guys!
 * Pink-haired girl: You're such an officious and boring killjoy, my dear Alexandar! Ain't it a good idea for us to add some nice sugar in the candies by making something SPOOOOOKY?
 * 3310b19f6a6c77a79b3cdc2f63c90dd6.jpgAlexandar: I could have appreciate it, Bubbly. The sad thing is...
 * Alexandar: ... the Ringmistress called us and wanted us to change it for another happier chant for spooking.
 * Alexandar: After all, it is your idea, not hers. She wants to talk to you.

''Bubbly then grabbed the phone in her hand and looked at the screen. The face of the Ringmistress was on the screen, but she was wearing a white mask decorated in black patterns. There are red stripes on the mask's cheeks coming from its eyes to its chin, making it look like someone weeping blood.''
 * Ringmistress: [Stop this act now, Bubbly, please. The sudden presence of Sister Selina in the circus on Halloween forced my hand.]

Bubbly was quite confused by the news and tilted her head to right for a while.
 * Bubbly: Why is that?

The Ringmistress took a deep sigh and looked aside. ''Hearing the Ringmistress' words at first, Bubbly was a bit of peeved, but as the Ringmistress continued, Bubbly started to feel sorry for what she was planned. Sure that a serial killer who was never caught could never be something to celebrate, even as a spooky tale to scare children in Halloween.'' Rather than a horror story, this string of murder is a tragedy, always a tragedy. ''Bubbly then shook her head in a sad voice. She really liked the chant and practiced it for a long time, and yet she had to change the show.'' The Ringmistress spoke as if her heart was going to break, seeing Bubbly frowned and becoming utterly depressed as a result. ''In spite of her own reluctance, Bubbly still accepted the words of the Ringmistress as a good advice. She never wanted Selina or the Ringmistress to turn sad only because of her own joy.'' ''The Ringmistress slowly wiped her tears away from her mask and sighed. She slowly regained her own composure.'' Then, the Ringmistress looked aside. ''The Ringmistress then stopped the communication and everyone looked on the ground with disappointment. They practiced this for days to welcome Selina, never realizing that it would eventually hurt her.'' ''Bubbly slowly raised her head as she slowly regained her confidence. Her eyes sparkled once again with full of cheerfulness.'' Then, the children regained their own confidence by her happy personality and started to chant and dance once again, this time a different rhyme, telling the old tales of Jak-O-Lantern's origins.
 * Ringmistress: [I know it's a hard feelings for all of us, as I wrote the chant myself to warn the kids about the mysterious strangers they should never believe in. The sad thing is, as you've all aware, La Gloton had traumatized both me and Selina, for my mother is the killer's last possible victim ... Selina was traumatized by my mother's death even harder than I am, and even mentioning La Gloton will put her into a head-burning fiery rage. Besides, I feel guilty now for trying to perform this on Halloween. I just remembered that my mother died on Halloween, murdered by the killer.]
 * 59024711_p0_master1200.jpgBubbly: I see... After all, there're still a month to go. Sleepy Hollow's Halloween comes one month earlier than usual, I believe.
 * Ringmistress: [Change it to "Old Jack and the Devil", please. Our sister loves these.]
 * Bubbly: Very well.
 * Bubbly: Very well, my mistress. By the way, how's it going with Ichabod Crane and Abigail Mills?
 * Butterfly_queen_by_aalexandrin.jpgistress: [So far, so good. I sent that Crane person a letter about a headless corpse, and I made him to Jeffersonian Insititute. Now, considering Halloween is near, as the souls of death are about to reach the town again, we need to make sure whether this body IS the Horseman or not. In spite of this, our agent had reported to me that the body they found is William Howe... and it depends on the Two Witnesses what to do about it, for now.]
 * Ringmistress: Now, restart our rehearsal, please.
 * Bubbly: Guys...
 * Bubbly: Let's chant "Old Jack and the Devil" instead.
 * Circus Children: * The Old Jack is a drunk / Who acts like a punk / It sounds weird that he forced the Devil / Clinging on a trunk... *

MAD - Started From the Toad (Homage)
<p style="text-align:center;"> A Halloween Show in CIS Productions Base

<p style="text-align:center;"> Based on a crosstalk show by the late Liu Baorui (刘宝瑞) and the late Guo Qiru (郭启儒)

<p style="text-align:center;"> Some parts have minor alterations

<p style="text-align:center;"> Cast

<p style="text-align:center;"> Matt Butcher speaks the lines of Liu Baorui

<p style="text-align:center;"> Maria Arzonia speaks the lines of Guo Qiru

''Shocked, Maria nearly bounced from her position. However, she soon calmed herself down.'' Matt paused a bit. ​Maria was startled as Matt continued.
 * Bombina_bombina_1_(Marek_Szczepanek).jpgMatt: Maria, I have some confusions... about the toads.
 * Maria: How come? What is your confusions?
 * Matt: You see, a toad is not big, but why can it make such a loud noise? Gua! Gua! I can't believe it.
 * Maria: Oh, the reason is very simple.
 * Matt: Yes, and yet I still need to ask you for it.
 * Maria: Very well, Matt. An animal like toad... well, it has a large mouth and a short neck. Therefore, it can produce loud noises.
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.948008.jpgMatt: Yeah, I see... Well, this is a marvelous explanation.
 * Maria: I tell this. It is not just toads.
 * Matt: Not just toads?
 * Maria: Everything similar to toads behaves like that.
 * Matt: Oh, I see. Thank you.
 * Maria: No problem.
 * Matt: ... Wait, it's not right.
 * Maria: Not right?
 * Matt: If that is true... How comes that  garbage can  inside my room... which is also having a "large mouth" and a "short neck"... makes no sounds at all?
 * Maria: That thing can never make sounds. If a garbage can makes sounds, it shall have no difference to a monster, shan't it?
 * 2C355040961426fm3D21426gp3D0.jpgMatt: You said that. Anything similar to the toad make sounds like that.
 * Maria: Your garbage can was made of bamboo.
 * Matt: Yes, it is.
 * Maria: A thing made of bamboo never make sounds by itself. What is more, it is always quiet.
 * Matt: Something made of bamboo cannot make sounds?
 * Maria: Exactly.
 * Matt: What about those bamboo flutes, or any other musical instruments made of bamboo, that were used by monks and taoists in their ritual performance?
 * 0b55b319ebc4b7459465a130ccfc1e178a821526.jpgMaria: ......!!
 * Matt: You heard those performace of Sheng (笙), am I right? That makes perfect pitch.
 * Maria: (helplessly) Well, you do have a good choice of things. *sigh* That Sheng you were talking about, it is indeed made of bamboos.
 * Matt: Uh-huh.
 * Maria: But it has holes on it.
 * Matt: Yes, it has.
 * Maria: The sounds it produced must came out through those holes. To make it short, without those holes, it can never make music out of it.
 * Matt: Hmm... something made of banboo cannot make sounds without holes. But I have a  bamboo sieve , with hundreds of holes on it. How comes does it keep quiet?
 * Maria: (enraged) You are here to argue with me, right? No one blow a sieve as a musical instrument, you know!
 * Matt: Right...
 * Maria: It's round and flat, and therefore it keeps quiet.
 * Matt: Round? Flat? That's the reason it kept quiet? Then why a  gong  makes loud sounds when someone hit it in the square?! Isn't it round and flat? When someone hit it, it'll "BANG! BANG! BANG!" Right?

Maria was getting more and more speechless. Without knowing what to say and feeling more and more upset, Maria merely looked at Matt as he continued. ​Maria stepped her foot on the ground, which indicated that she could not bear Matt's skeptism anymore. Maria had to close her eyes and scoffed. Maria was almost struck speechless and lowed down her head in a sigh. Matt nodded, and then he thought for a while. In dismay and fraustration, Maria clenched her teeth. ''Maria then went on the explanation... although she cannot think of any other explanations to support herself.'' Maria was getting fed up with it.
 * Maria: There was a bulge on the centre of a gong. Its making of loud sounds should all thanks to its bulge.
 * Matt: What about that  frying pan in our kitchen?  There is also a "bulge" at its bottom, but it can't make any loud noise like that of a gong even if you break it.
 * Maria: Oh, it was made of crude iron!
 * Matt: Made of iron? That's why it can't make noise?
 * Blade.Master.(Raven).full.1440704.jpgMaria: Yes.
 * Matt: What about that large bell in the temple? Wasn't it made of iron!?
 * Matt: When a monk hit it with a beam, its sound could spread to hundreds of meters away!
 * Maria: Well, the bell IS made of iron, but it was hang so it can make sounds!
 * Matt: So that's it.
 * Maria: It is made of iron, indeed, but you should hang it at first!
 * Matt: You need to hang an object made of iron so that it could produce sounds? But I hanged a standard weight beside the door for several years. It is also made of iron, but hanging it won't help in making sounds, either, not even once!
 * IMG_7734.pngMaria: Ahh, a standard weight? That thing is solid, and a bell is hollow! That's the difference!
 * Matt: A solid thing won't make any noise? But what about a  bomb ? Isn't a bomb an iron solid? It makes bigger noise than all the other things mentioned before!
 * Maria: You should figure out more of a bomb. It is filled with gunpowder. Because of the powder inside, it could produce sounds when it was burned.
 * Raven_blademaster_elsword_by_amarog_checkmate-d91j3jj.pngMatt: What about those herb powders that filled in capsules? Those things sold in drugstores? You never saw a capsule made loud noise, right?
 * Maria: How can a capsule exploded? That powder is not gunpowder! Besides, it is made for us to put into our mouth, and of course it can't make noises inside out mouth, right?
 * Matt: You mean something, which can be put into our mouth, shall never make noises?
 * Maria: Sort of.
 * Matt: And what about those bubble gums ? When a kid chew a bubble gum, they blew a bubble and it popped. When it popped, it made noises.
 * Maria: (think) * Oh, no way! How could he find such a thing to prove his opinion in his debate? *
 * IMG_7732.pngMaria: A bubble gum? It has nature of rubbers. Therefore, it can make noise.
 * Matt: A nature of rubber?
 * Maria: Indeed.
 * Matt: But as you can see, today I wear a pair of boots with  rubber soles . Why can't it make noise when I was walking?
 * Maria: Rubber soles? The rubber soles are very close to the ground, and so it can't make noise when you walk.
 * Matt: Oh, really?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Matt: But when the bicycle tyres exploded... '

​Matt chuckled happily, and Maria covered her face with her palm.
 * Maria: OK! ENOUGH ALREADY!

Nowadays
<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 day to Halloween

<p style="text-align:center;"> The House of Phyllis

<p style="text-align:center;"> 9:30 AM

While thinking about her unhappy experience with that doctor who greatly annoyed her with his impolite attitude, Phyllis bit her lips and looked at a card she just took from her box of recipes.
 * Phyllis: Crisp Lemon Calf Liver...

''Phyllis narrowed her eyes and then turned back, as she went to another box, which was containing some of the name card Phyllis gathered from her clients and other people, many of them being renouned in the town. She took the name card of that doctor.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Mark Morstan 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Medical Examiner in Jeffersonian's 

''Phyllis grinned as her eyes turned into yellow, and she began to lick her lips. She then turned herself to the door beside her and walked out, with a smile on her face.''
 * Phyllis: (think) * The hunt begins. *

<p style="text-align:center;"> Boarder of Sleepy Hollow

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10:30 AM

''The truck of the Jeffersonians rid on the road in the woods, heading straight towards the town of Sleepy Hollow. The truck carried the skeleton of Howe to the town under Dr. Brennen's request. Howe's bones were carried all the way towards the town. The coincidence was that the driver was none other than Mark Morstan.'' Just 

<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: Do you need a hand? '

''Seeing the woman coming for help, Mark sighed in relief. He the pointed at the truck with a sigh.'' ''As the woman walked closer without any word, Mark was surprised as he finally saw her face. It was a tall woman with long gray hair, a pair of yellow eyes decorated in eye shadow. Her lips was covered in black lipsticks. A black hat with yellow rose was right on the top of her head. She was like some pranksters walking in the Halloween night.''
 * Mark: I think I must've hit a rock or something like that. It gouged my gastank.



Mark narrowed his eyes in surprise as he saw the woman's face, recognizing her despite her overall make-up. ''Mark did not get the response, because Phyllis never responded him. She just walked towards him with her stoic face. Then, Phyllis raised a knife and then plundged into the guts of the man.'' ''Mark let out a weak yell but he could barely talk. Then, Phyllis went closer to Mark and whispered to him in a dark tone.'' ''Phyllis then push the dead man away from her and she started to grab his feet, dragging him to a bush. She was certain that no one saw her, since it was the wood and still away from the town.''
 * Mark: Have... we met before!?
 * Phyllis: I must remind you that this is not just personal. Goodbye.

''However, the murder was not the only business Phyllis was attended to. She then put her attention on the truck beside her. It was the truck with General William Howe's bones. She had the feast to prepare, but first of all, she needed to draw attentions to avoid suspicion from Ichabod.'' ''Phyllis opened the back door of the truck, revealing a large coffin inside with a mark of the Jeffersonian Anthoropology on it. Phyllis removed the lid on the coffin and looked at the skeleton inside it.'' ''Howe's skelleton was placed perfectly within the coffin. Phyllis grinned. She never expected that her hunt today lead her to the skeleton of Howe, which she had been looking for days.'' ''Phyllis then took a black tablet - the same black tablet given to her by Crow Faux - and threw it right on the chest of Howe. The tablet then started to glow in orange, before a huge swarm of maggots started to flow themselves beneath the tablet, flowing all the way to cover Howe's skeleton. Phyllis merely watched all of this happened, and she never felt it ruined her apetite.''
 * Phyllis: In Sleepy Hollow, only unimportant people die forever.

''The maggots then pulled the severed skull of Howe back on his neck and covered it as well. As soon as they covered the entire body of Howe, they started to disappear.''

''The skeleton itself had "disappeared" as well... or it was transformed into something else. Instead of a skull and bones. Phyllis then saw a man with flesh lying in the coffin. However, his skin was gray, dry and full of wrinkles.''
 * Phyllis: The king requires your service. Will you answer his call...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Phyllis: ... General Howe? '

''Inside the coffin, General Howe awakened and opened his eyes, which were both inhumanely blue. He raised his body while still sitting at the coffin, looking around in confusion. The tablet placed on his chest had brought him back to life as an undead being.'' Phyllis leaned closer with a dark expression as she began to tempt Howe with her own words. ''Phyllis noticed that Howe seemed interested in her words. She then spoke the rest of her words.'' Howe narrowed his eyes in malice when he immediately realized who the enemy Phyllis referred to.
 * Howe: Where?
 * Phyllis: You've arrived in Sleepy Hollow, my lord. Raise your men, and make the Patriot scum afraid again. Afraid of Britain. Afraid of death...
 * Phyllis: In addition, I shall offer you vengence on a hated enemy who once tried to end your life.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Howe: Crane. '

Phyllis smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwords

 * From Officer: This episode actually has a six weeks of timeskip which happened after the insurgents of Hexenmeister Community members making their attempt to rescue Shao Jun from the current evil leader of Hexenmeister Community, but the detail of the rescue operation will serve as a bonus episode after the majority of Death Arc ends. This episode also serves as a Halloween Episode to show some more of antagonists in the Order of Flourish as well.
 * This episode and the next episode (which is the Sub Arc finale) are based on the two-part Halloween Crossover between two series, Bones and Sleepy Hollow, but for now, I have no plans to introduce the Jeffersonian in the later episode after these two episodes, and for more information, please visit their own pages on Bones Wiki. In fact, they actually don't really fit in the theme of the story as they're all pretty much atheists, and I have no much of knowledge connected to Bones series. Therefore, this episode rather focuses on more scene on Phyllis Peach.
