' - (???): Good day, Crane. I am glad that you ran like a little rat in front of those two Horsemen... but I think they should have an army to lead their way, don't you think so? '

''Hearing this voice, Ichabod turned back and then he saw a tall woman was walking towards him. Like Ichabod and Katrina, the woman spoke in an British accent. She had pale skin, silver eyes, golden eyebrows and was in white cloth.'' Hearing Ichabod calling her name, Christine lowered her head in frustration. ''Being a prodigy fluent in many languages including German, Ichabod knew what Christine was speaking. However, he had no intentions to play her language game.''
 * Ichabod: You are... Christine? Christine Van Bilj?
 * Christine: Mein Gott... Es ist eine peinliche situation. Ich dachte, sie würden nie... mich erkennen. (My God... It is such an embarrasing situation. I thought, you would never recognize me.)

Instead, he glared at her with rage. Christine wickedly smiled, but Ichabod merely scoffed. ''Hearing Ichabod's words, Christine merely blushed like a spoiled kid. She was thinking about the face of a teenage Ichabod when they were students in Eton Collage.'' ''​Christine then turned serious. She pridefully looked at Ichabod all of a sudden. Now, instead of behaving like a bratty kid, she was now behaved like some kind of egoistic queen.'' ''​Ichabod was horrid... Christine was revealing one of the worst nightmares of reality Ichabod had every faced - the murder of his best friend, Berty, a murder committed by a serial killer known to many as the Ripper...'' ''While speaking, Christine's eyes started to change as her body was glowing in red. Her new eyes were like that of an insect. Lowering his head, Ichabod went silent, but then he angrily looked up at Christine. It was very obvious that he was fed up with Christine's attitude.'' ​When Ichabod looked at Christine, he found that her face returned back to normal. Ichabod looked at Christine with sheer shock as well as confusion. ​Christine let out a horrid evil grin... ''Hearing this news, Ichabod was so shocked that he start to freeze in the place. Lady Crane was the mother of Ichabod, and she is a kind, loving and selfless woman whom could play some fun tricks and tell interesting stories to her son. To Ichabod, his mother was like a pure, magical and loving being made of nature. However, the news of his mother's death had shocked Ichabod so much that he nearly became frozen like a piece of ice.''
 * Ichabod: You, your brother and your father, all are the Hessians' mad pets. Your father is mad, your brother is madder, and you are the maddest of you all.
 * Christine: Well, Ichabod, this is such a nice figure of speech... Is this a kind of compliment or sarcasm?
 * 303YoungIchabod.pngod: This is not a compliment. This is sarcasm. You always like to tease people, am I right? I despise you not for your good grades. My hatred for you is not out of jealousy, but out of your inhumane and hegemonic ambition. I am perhaps not the only one who shall never ever mourn you, Christine.
 * Christine: Well, this is so embarrassing that it made me want to die for a second time. Well, at least this is my first death so... I have no preparation or rehearsal for that.
 * Alfyeoho.jpgChristine: However, this is not the point. Remember the time when you, I and my brother were teenagers? You were handsome at that time... and now you are still handsome. However, you were always haunted by your best friend's death, right?
 * IchabodWithBerty'sCorpse.pngtine: I never had this concern at all, since me and my brother once deviced a perfect experiment to alter someone's blood type... and one of our classmates became the subject. You know this, right? That's why you are hating my father, my brother and I. Because of this, I like the Ripper and I never mourn Berty at all, not one bit. I admire the Ripper. I will sing songs to praise his sheer might and greatness, and when I am the queen of this world, I shall quickly condemn you for your compassion to those weaklings! So?
 * Ichabod: You and your brother fought for tyranny. Your parents were corrupt. Your family just fell into ruins after your untimely death.
 * Four_Horseman.pngChristine: At least my brother lives, and I am now waiting for him to split the entire world in half to rule. One day, I will confront you face to face after returning to this world. I will help the Horseman of Death to slay you so that he could get his head. I will help all of the Four Horsemen in their endless conquering of this world and even this universe. Therefore, compared to your family, I guess my family's outcome shall be considered... perfect.
 * Ichabod: What do you mean?
 * LadyCrane.pngChristine: Your family is dead, Ichabod, and it began since your mother's demise occurred. Our poor Lady Crane died... after the news of her son's betrayal had came... in a young age.
 * Christine: He-he-he... Oh, that is terrible. I am so sorry...

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> 8:13 AM

''In the morgue of the Police Department, the corpse of Andy Brooks was lying on the table silently... until suddenly, the light flashes rapidly and then, the shroud on the corpse of Andy started to move intensely. Soon, a hand came out of the plastic shroud and the corpse fell onto the ground. Soon, Andy crawled outside and climbed on the iron desk. His neck was still broken and his head was still in that strange position.''

Struggling in terror, Andy walked backward to a mirror behind him and saw his bizarre shape. Just then, the blurry shadow of Moloch had appeared in front of Andy and then, Andy's neck snapped back into the right position, but there was still some terrible wounds on his neck.
 * Andy_is_confronted_by_Moloch.png: Ah! What's happening to me?!
 * Andy: M-master...

As an act of response, Moloch was speaking the ancient Greek language to Andy while glaring at him. Moloch continued his bellow, and Andy recognized one of the sentence was, "Your soul is mine." He shook his head in horror. ''All of a sudden, Moloch raised his hand and pointed at Andy's neck. Suddenly, Andy felt something stuck inside his throat and tried to pull it out.''
 * Andy: What is it?
 * Andy: No... no... please...
 * Andy: Oh... ugh...

''After nearly a minute of struggling, Andy eventually pulled it out. Then, he found out in surprise that it was just another pendant, a pendant similar to Blood Moon Wicked, but it was made of iron instead of ruby.''



''Moloch walked closer to Andy as the light flashed even quicker, making the place more frightening. Moloch then gave Andy a new order. After listening his order, Andy raised his head in sheer terror.''
 * Andy: Find Colin Van Bilj?

Colin lowered his head and bowed again. ''Then, Colin went to a table and grabbed a magic grimoire on his table, which belonged to his sister, Christine. Colin walked forward towards the corpse before placing the pendant in his hand on Nevins' chest, and then he opened the grimoire in his hand with a serious look. His eyes narrowed in sheer malice as he started to spoke the spell.'' ''A twisting wind had occurred outside and the moon was covered by the cloud once again, and the round moon itself began to turn redder once again but it was very brief before it turned back to white once again. However, Colin was not aware of it. He looked at the corpse on the ground as Moloch slowly faded away. The pendant on Nevins' chest started to shine in gold.''
 * Colin: Yes, Master, I will do what would made you pleased.
 * Colin: All shall die but death itself. All shall stop but time itself. Now, all those rules shall be defied. Hear my calling and bring forth the glory of us in the name of MOLOCH himself! Rise above the line between life and death... Atticus Nevins!

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Colin: Now, I summon you... to rise! Come and see...'

''Nevins slowly opened his eyes as Colin finished his spell, and he slowly stood up as his wounds caused by Katarina slowly faded. He seemed confused so he looked around before turning back to Colin, who was looking at him.'' Standing up as the pendant fell on the ground and its aura faded, Nevins looked around and blinked his eyes with full of confusions. ''Nevins slowly stepped back a bit since he still tried to overcome the strange feelings of coming back to life. Just as he was about to say something, the pendant started to shine in gold once again as it started to float in the midair. Then, with its aura turning into light green, it turned into an eyeball and floated in front of Colin.'' ''Before Colin could continued, the eyeball turned into dusts in green light and disappeared. However, Colin soon fell something was inside his empty right eye socket. He felt itchy and immediately took off his eyepatch, but just then, he felt that his once empty eye socket, which once could only "see" nothing but pure black darkness, had seen some blurry visions. Soon, the vision became much clearer. Colin was a bit of excited and wickedly smiled.'' Colin then turned to Nevins, as the latter was still looking at him with a confused face. Covered his face in frustration, Colin fell into thoughts as he remembered his disgraced past.
 * Colin: The Master has a new purpose for all of us, Mr. Nevins. He made me brought you back in order to serve us once again if you will.
 * Emerald_Eye_DCAU.jpgs: Where am I? Am I in Heaven... or am I in Hell?
 * Colin: Neither, Mr. Nevins, you are in Sleepy Hollow. I brought you back so that you can serve our Master once again, but that does not mean you have to obey me. To you, I am not a pushy person.
 * Colin: What is the...
 * Colin: Yes, yes, I... I can see... I can see!
 * Colin: Mr. Nevins, it was apparent that the act of helping you had helped myself as well, and now I know we both have people to hate. I do not know who killed you, but I wish you can kill them just as how I desired to kill those who made me lose Trenton once again... but not an easy task.

''Hearing Sister Mary Eunice reading Katrina's note, Ichabod and Abbie looked at each other and was wearing a surprised face. Sister Mary Eunice slowly closed the book and put it back on the desk.'' Ichabod then fell into thoughts before he widened his eyes. Sister Mary Eunice shook her head.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Crane, Washington was right about not sending you to the place of Trenton. If he did not do so, you'll be dead already.
 * Ichabod: But somehow Katrina and Washington managed to survive among a few others, and Revere somehow left the team...
 * Ichabod: By the way, is there anything else written on the note?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I am sorry but... no, there isn't.

Ichabod sighed and looked at Abbie when he turned to her with a serious face.
 * Ichabod: No matter what happened during the Battle of Trenton or what its purpose was, I think the key thing lies inside the flag of Betsy Ross. We must find it before our enemies do.

​Tweedledee put his hand on his chin as he start thinking. ​Tweedledee meant to joke with Ichabod, as the latter felt a bit uncomfortable. ​Hearing Abbie's words, Ichabod was a bit of surprised since he did not think about that thread will have special usage other than decorations. ''The words of Sister Mary Eunice immediately enlightened and soon, Ichabod realized something that he ignored for a long time. He also remembered the golden light shone on the body of Katarina Couteau (who was merged with the Angelic Mary Eunice at that time) during their last fight against Michael Langdon.''
 * Tweedledee: I think Betsy and Katrina both worried about you a lot. You are such a woman magnet, Crane. Four women are surrounding you, one is your wife, one is your former fiancee, one is your friend in army and one is your classmates who only wants you to dead.
 * US_flag_13_stars_–_Betsy_Ross.svg.pngod: Stop it... but indeed. Betsy and Katrina might knew the danger within this mission and tried to prevent me from unpredictable hazards.
 * Abbie: You said she used golden threads.
 * Ichabod: Yes, it was a decorative flourish. I always thought it was rather Baroque for Betsy's taste.
 * [[File:Scathach_fate_grand_order_and_fate_series_drawn_by_shijiu_adamhutt_sample-88468be60f5cb15b2cb96207dda42f12.jpg|thumb|340px]]Sister Mary Eunice: However, Ichabod... golden light is also the light of the sun which means it shall casted the darkness away... What if Betsy tried to cast some dark forces away with that flag but had to do so before dawn... with the golden light?

The golden light did had something to do to defy evil, and so did those golden threads. ​Ichabod then closed his eyes and scratched his head in order to find the answers within the deepest corner of his memory. Tweedledee then started to operate the laptop when Sister Mary Eunice opened her lips. Tweedledee and others immediately looked at Mary Eunice with a endearing grin, and Mary Eunice smiled back as if it was a normal thing. ''Then, Tweedledee and Tweedledum started their high one. Sister Mary Eunice and Ichabod looked at Tweedledee as they were both impressed. Abbie swung her hand as she and Ichabod observed the replica portrait which recorded the events of Delaware River on the higher spot on a wall.'' Sister Mary Eunice and the Tweedles nodded with a smile, and Abbie and Ichabod immediately went out of the Archives together.
 * Paul_Revere_Boston.pngIchabod: Betsy always said that the flag was her greatest achievement, but the flag is not important. It is the thread she sewed into it. Somehow, it allowed her to erase those ashes on the possessed inmates in Trenton.
 * Abbie: So, we need Betsy Ross' flag.
 * Ichabod: Right, uh... last time I saw the flag, it was with Paul Revere. Now, Revere would have ensured that anything so vital was well-protected. He would not allowed it out of his possession.
 * 11.-Sister-Mary-Eunice-American-Horror-Story-Asylum_gallery_primary.jpgTweedledee: So we need to figure out where Revere's stuff ended up.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: The Paul Revere's House, North End, Boston. It's a registered historical landmark and contains a full catalog of his holdings.
 * Tweedledee: What?
 * 316Looking.pngSister Mary Eunice: I went there on a field trip in six grade during a history class.
 * Abbie: Is there a flag in Revere's house?
 * Tweedledee: Yeah, the museum inventory logs one Revolutionary-Era flag. We gathered many information days before since this is not my first visit to this town.
 * Abbie: Ha, okay, we can be in Boston in couple of hours if you guys can figure out what we do with the flag once we get it.


 * Guide: All clear. The house is yours to visit.
 * 316AmericanFlag.pngIchabod: Thank you.

Ichabod immediately went into the hallways, as Abbie then followed Ichabod from behind into the deeper place of the house, but not after she smiled when she passed the guide. ''Following Ichabod, Abbie went into the hall which were surrounded by pillars as well as two stairs. Ichabod went into one the rooms which was decorated with white marbles. He then noticed a flag hanging on the furnace.''
 * Abbie: Thank you.

''It was like the flag that Betsy sewed, but unfortunately and much to his dismay, the flag was dusty and old, so old that it turned brownish. Several holes were also on the flag as well. In shock, Ichabod immediately went to the flag and took a closer look at it before letting out a sigh. Abbie followed him and stood just beside him.'' ''​Abbie took out her cell phone and captured a picture so that she would provide those pictures to the Tweedles via e-mail since she knew the email adress of Corbin's Archives. Ichabod went closer to observe the flag carefully.'' Just as Abbie was expressing her dismay, Ichabod's eyes widened as he immediately caught something that was very wrong. ​Abbie heard this and immediately turned to Ichabod with surprise. ''Ichabod grabbed the edge of the flag as he was speaking, and then after that, he hurled the edge back on the wall, but suddenly some strange noises came from the hall behind them. Ichabod and Abbie were both shocked to heard the noise.''
 * Ichabod: Oh, this is in a sorry state of disrepair.
 * 【mjt100.com】Sle-00_18_22--20170418-213934-2-.pngAbbie: I guess the Founding Fathers did not believe in mothballs.
 * Ichabod: This was not made by Betsy's hand.
 * Abbie: What? Are you sure?
 * 【mjt100.com】Sle-00_18_39--20170418-213044-1-.pngIchabod: Yes, Betsy always used a modified whip-stitch to protect the edges of her garments. This is a cross-stitch. Someone has taken Betsy's original flag and left the counterfeit in its place.
 * Abbie: What was that?

''They turned back to the hall and was shocked to find that it was filled with smokes. The guide stumbled himself to them while having a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose. Ichabod and Abbie immediately went towards the guide as they all stood in the middle of the hall.''
 * Guide: There was some signs of fire around here, and I do not know where the source of fire is.

All of a sudden, with a bang, the historical officer was shot down by a bullet, as Ichabod and Abbie reacted in shock.
 * Jormungand_kokoeye.jpgAbbie: Looks like we've got company.

''The smoke soon disappeared. Then, Ichabod and Abbie were shocked by the corpse lying in front of them. However, Abbie had suddenly heard a noise from upstairs and immediately shouted out.'' ''With a yell full of shock, Abbie immediately pushed Ichabod back into the corner as another gunfire was shot. Ichabod and Abbie managed to dodge that gunfire that was fired by an intruder who managed to kill the historical expert but missed Ichabod.''
 * Abbie: LOOK OUT!

The empty bullet shell itself fell on the ground, and its metallic surface reflected an approaching figure - a man in a Hessian trench coat, holding a rifle, walked out from the distance, standing on the second floor.

''Ichabod and Abbie went hiding behind a collum, and Ichabod looked at the second floor as he was shocked. It was none other than Colin Van Bilj, who was holding his rifle, wearing a wig and in a 18th century styled jacket. He snarled at Ichabod and Abbie with full of scorn.'' ''Widened his eyes, Ichabod Immediately recognized Colin and saw his eyes as something abnormal. ​Like someone who was sleepwalking, Colin started to walk in circle as he start mumbling strange words.'' ''Then, Colin immediately stopped walking. He turned back to look at the place where Ichabod and Abbie was hiding, and then he leaned himself forward.'' ''Hearing this accuse, Abbie was furious and shocked. She immediately defended herself and Ichabod. She knew who had spread those blood creatures Colin was referring to.'' ''As a response, Colin merely scoffed and started to chuckle. He then picked his locket out of his pocket, and he started to step back.'' ''Colin stepped back more but suddenly, he nearly fell himself from the stairs, but then he grabbed the banisters to keep balance. Then, he turned back to look at the Two Witnesses as if they were rats.'' ''Colin started to turn back his body and held his rifle in both of his hands. Colin's magic power was weak, but he was good at military skills as well as marksmanship.'' ​With a wicked grin, Colin showed the two Witnesses with a car key as Abbie & Ichabod looked at him confusingly.
 * Colin: I... am Colin Van Bilj, the son of Caspar Van Bilj!
 * Ichabod: That's him!
 * Colin: I'd like to draw a circle on the ground to curse you both... Why are you come to disturb us all!?
 * Colin: Was it you!? WAS IT YOU WHO SPREAD THOSE WRETCHED BLOOD CREATURES ACROSS THE ENTIRE TOWN!?
 * Abbie: That's got nothing to do with us! Look, we are here to apprehend you now, so come with us that you may be spared! OK!?
 * Colin: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Fools... She's only just returned to me.
 * Colin: Heh-heh... Why would I want to leave?
 * Ichabod: Who? You mean... CHRISTINE?
 * Colin: Uh-heh...
 * Colin: Heh, she always enjoys playing "games", and she has come up with the most... SPLENDID game for us to play!
 * Abbie: Games?
 * Colin: If you survive our challenge, I will personally present you with a private car for prize!

Colin then put the key back to his pocket before raising his rifle and aimed at the two.

Act 1 - Shattered Memories
Colin pointed his rifle at the place beside Ichabod and Crane before fired at them again as Abbie tried to take another look at him.
 * Colin: Ready? Let the game begin!

<p style="text-align:center;">' Bang! '

''The fire missed once again, as Abbie looked back in time. In dismay, Colin hit his knee with his fist.''
 * -Ichabod-ichabod-crane-sleepy-hollow-tv-series-37189436-642-720.jpgColin: No way!

Enraged, Abbie narrowed her eyes and she immediately bellowed at Colin. Colin bit his lips as he filled another bullet into that rifle. With confusion, Abbie and Ichabod looked at each other, not knowing what Colin was on about. Colin immediately raised his rifle once again. ''As Abbie was about to take a look, Colin fired a shot once again and it missed for a third time. Ichabod immediately pulled Abbie back.'' ''Hearing Abbie calling him a low supervisor, Colin was angered as he looked at the two angrily. He bit his lips before he promptly turned back.'' ''Abbie turned back as she refused to talk. Colin glared at the Two Witnesses once again before he went upstairs and left.'' ''Colin was indeed a strange person. One minute ago, he was furious, and now he merely laughed and walked away, speaking nonsence. Ichabod and Abbie looked at him as he went away, and Abbie believed that he was merely a deranged lunatic. However, she and Ichabod were both fell into a so-called game of this lunatic.'' ''Ichabod, however, did not move at all. He was looking at a iron box at the corner.''
 * Abbie: Who do you think you are? You dared to shoot a police officer?
 * Colin: Ah, I can see how. You want to... you want to make them sending me to a trial.
 * Abbie: Them? I don't know what you are on about!
 * Colin: Cut off those pack of lies. You should have know that you are looking for a thing which should have been belonged to my family, and as the current commander of our Order, I cannot bear your plan to destroy the Master's ambition! 
 * Abbie: You are insane. You served someone you called Master? Are you a low supervisor?
 * Colin: What are you talking about? My grandfather is one of three founders of the Order of the Blood Moon, and my father is the greatest assistant beside General Howe! You call me a low supervisor? You insolent and awful pest! Talk! What is your purpose anyway?
 * Colin: Huh, never mind. I will see you at a stadium not far away, and since you two are already like caged birds, we will spare you for more fun! Hey, you'll know that I have more ideas to deal with all of you!
 * Abbie: Crane, we must leave. Staying in this place would double the danger!

Ichabod's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> When Ichabod was 8 years old... It was Christmas Day, and an 8-year-old Ichabod was together with his mother outside in a woods.

Ichabod's mother, Lady Adaline Crane, was a benevolent woman who was very amazing in her son's mind. Christmas was white, since it was always snowy, but that did not bother anything at all. ''Ichabod could never forget what he saw when he was 8 years old. He saw his mother flying into the sky, spinning on the sky and swayed her arm, like a dancing angel from heaven.'' ''When Lady Crane noticed her son, she did not feel offence at all. She immediately invited Ichabod to join her. Lady Crane landed on the ground and held the hands of Ichabod in her hands, and they both shared a dance together.'' ''The tender moment between mother and son was all the same throughout all the four seasons. Lady Crane smiled at Ichabod benevolently, and her son smiled and laughed happily like an innoncent child...'' After they were tired, Ichabod lied on the ground with snow all the while wearing a happy smile, and the warm and emotional moment with his family made him forgetting just how cold and harsh the day was. At that moment, Ichabod believed that Santa Clause was real, and he thought his best Christmas gift was his kind, selfless and loving mother, as a family was the best thing in this world.

<p style="text-align:center;"> [Flashes]

Months had passed.

Spring had come after a long and harsh winter. Inside a garden, where the peach blossom bloomed and the pedal falling, Lady Crane had her eyes blindfolded and played hide-and-seek with her boy. As Ichabod was hiding behind one of the trees, Lady Crane had to hear her son's voice so that she could find him. ''Then, Ichabod felt that someone petted his shoulder. His mother found him and she led Ichabod out towards the gate of that garden, kissing his cheek.'' ''For Ichabod, his days with Lady Crane, who was his mother, was the best days in his childhood. Wondering the reason of his mother's amazing talents,  Ichabod was living as a happy child.'' <p style="text-align:center;">' ... until THAT DAY came... '
 * Lady Crane: Where is my boy? Where is my dearest Ichabod? I am going to get you...
 * Ichabod: Mommy, just closer, I... am... right here...
 * Ichabod: Mom, I am here, behind one of those trees!
 * Lady Crane: Yes, Ichabod, and so your mom is coming here...
 * Lady Crane: Ah, you are here! You are my good boy.

<p style="text-align:center;">' The day he almost FORGET... '

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

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

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



Nowadays
''Hearing Abbie's words, Ichabod was immediately dragged from his illusions back into the real world once again. Ichabod then turned to Abbie, looking at her in the eyes.'' ​Ichabod immediately moved his eyes away from that iron maiden, not wanting to look at it again. ''Ichabod then turned back to Abbie as his eyes widened. He immediately went outside of the corridor'' ​Abbie, however, did not fancy the idea.
 * Abbie-leather-jacket.pngAbbie: Crane? Crane? Are you okay?
 * Ichabod: No, nothing, I am just mildly distracted.
 * Abbie: By the way, are you sure we are about to do what ever that mad man said? He is insane and uh, well, he wanted us to go to a stadium. What is that suppose to mean?
 * Ichabod: He wanted us to go to an underground chamber of his family, one of their many chambers throughout northeast areas of colonies... and I don't know what would we find there.
 * Abbie: Remember, we must be fast. In fact, I don't agree what you are doing. We must solve the problem before sundown.
 * Ichabod: Then, we should find that man who caused the trouble. He might know how to solve the case. If he don't want to talk, we will make him talk.

Determined to find Colin, Ichabod looked at Abbie who looked at him with blank astonishment since she really don't fancy this idea, but she could not speak another word to disagree with it.

''Just at this time, The weather was getting cloudy as if there was a storm coming towards the town. Abbie had remembered the weather report. There was a heavy winter storm coming...'' ''All of a sudden, female voice had just came out when Ichabod finished his words, catching both his and Abbie's attention. They both turned back to see a shadowy figure standing not far away, dressing like a noblewoman with a large umbrella on her shoulder.'' A car passed by her and its light flashes beside the woman, showing her face which Ichabod immediately recognized in awful shock...
 * ???: HAHAHAHAHAHA...
 * ???: Nice to see you again, Crane.

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

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Christine van Bilj: Did you see my brother? '

Ichabod was shocked and he called her name almost all of a sudden, and Abbie was surprised by this as well. ''Christine immediately and swiftly escaped into an alley not far away, and Ichabod immediately ran after her. Abbie prepared for her gun and fan after her as well. However, as they went deeper into the alley, they found that no matter how hard they ran, they could not catch up with Christine as if she was really some kind of ghost.'' ''Ichabod did not answer Abbie's question, since he knew it was not the time. He only wanted to apprehend her since she and her brother might be the only antidotes for the upcoming troubles after sundown.'' Not far away, a team of police cars had arrived at Paul Revere's House and soon they searched the place after finding the trace of homicide, but they did not suspect Ichabod or Abbie since there were no eyewitnesses there.
 * 218Ichabod.pngIchabod: Christine!
 * Abbie: What?
 * Abbie: How can she ran so fast?
 * Ichabod: (think) How did she ever return back to life?

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

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

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



''Ichabod and Abbie went all the way towards the old stadium which seemed very much abandoned, but they soon lost Christine. They tried to make a search at the entrance, and then yet, no one was found.'' ''Ichabod looked at the place and he narrowed his eyes. As he wondered, he and Abbie went into the abandoned stadium.'' Ichabod looked at the decoration of the entrance and narrowed his eyes.
 * Abbie: We lost her... but here we are. Colin wanted us to meet him here.
 * Ichabod: How many secret bases he had?
 * Abbie: What?
 * Ichabod: The Van Bilj Family built the fortress and residence in all 13 colonies at East Coast during their prime. They were aristocrats with a greed for power. By the way, lieutenant, how do you describe the word "stadium"?

Abbie shrugged her shoulders and blinked her eyes. Hearing this, ​Ichabod then opened his "sarcasm mode" once again as the two delved deeper into the tunnel that led into the stadium... ​Abbie chuckled once again when she heard Ichabod commented about sports show. ​Abbie nodded as if she remembered something that was supposed to be forgotten. Abbie shrugged her shoulders with a sigh... ​Then, Abbie turned to the left before her eyes widened all of a sudden.
 * Abbie: Well, the stadium was for people who came here and watch sports show for entertainment.
 * Ichabod: Well, when sports became a tool for people's entertainment and satire? Why do they merely watch sports show rather than doing sports themselves? Duh, that is strange.
 * Abbie: Uh, no, not again. By the way, I know this stadium.
 * Ichabod: You do?
 * Sleepyhollow-abbie.jpgAbbie: Well, 10 years ago, there was a terrorist attack that killed many people here, damaging some parts of the place, and soon the stadium was abandoned after all the reconstruction attempt failed. People rumored that it was haunted.
 * Ichabod: Do you believe that?
 * Abbie: Believe it or not, we are here.

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

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

At the same time, inside Corbin's Archives, Tweedledee was sitting in front of a computer, staring at the screen and he bit his lips. Holding a cup of coffee, Tweedledum went towards his brother and sat beside him. ​Fraustrated, Tweedledee covered his head with his hands and sighed.
 * Tweedledee: Oh, what is that suppose to mean? I feel awful...
 * Tweedledum: Staring at the computer screen does not mend any problems, bro.
 * [[File:Once_Upon_a_Time_in_Wonderland_-_1x11_-_Heart_of_the_Matter_-_Tweedledum_and_Tweedledee.png|thumb|340px]]Tweedledee: Yeah, I know... but I was just wondering about what I heard. That man who sold herb...
 * Tweedledum: I don't think he had prophesized your fate in the future, and yet his voice brought me back to my bad memories... It was very much like the voice of Emperor Mateus, right?
 * Tweedledee: What would Celes think if she knew that Mateus was still at large? The problems are accumulating... just like a rolling snowball on a snowy mountain. You know what I mean?

Flashbacks
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Horsemen Saga - Followers of Pale Horse 

''Tweedledee and Tweedledum went to the store with their own teleportation after coming out from the tunnels, and they arrived at the herb store which Sister Mary Eunice was on about. They went into the store slowly, and Tweedledee saw a ring on the counter.''

''A sign was beside it, saying, "Ring for service." Tweedledee pressed the ring and waited for the owner to come. As they were waiting for the owner, Tweedledum bit his lip nervously.'' Tweedledee looked at his brother with confidence, and Tweedledum closed his eyes with a sigh.
 * Tweedledum: So I guess we put Abbie in a tight spot with the Nevins thing.
 * Tweedledee: She'll be all right.
 * BlackHeart_live_action_movie.jpgTweedledum: Oh, I know... Just, we were so close to finally getting some answers.

​Tweedledee shook his head in dismay while looking at the corner.
 * Tweedledee: I am sorry, Dum. I wish there was another way.
 * Tweedledum: Hey, no, I mean... you went down that road as far as you could in order to track down Mephista and Blackheart, and I hope you know how much I appreciate it.

''The ​Tweedles looked at each other with a smile, and Tweedledee looked elsewhere. He found the store was full of plants in all sort of strange and weird shapes. It was a collection of rare species that would be truly expensive, even priceless.''
 * Tweedledee: So, what is this guy, some kind of Caribbean witch doctor or... ?
 * ???: Call me that again, and it's me and you.

''​Tweedledee heard someone speaking in an English with a thick accent unique to West Indies citizens. Then, he turned back to see a bald man with dark skin came out of the place. The man immediately smiled friendly when he noticed the Tweedles.''
 * ???: Well, I heard Sister Mary Eunice mentioned to you. You are the Tweedle twins. Are you looking for any rare species?
 * Tweedledee: Mr. Azzaca... is this your name?

​The Trinidadian shop owner nodded. ​Azzaca shook his head in dismay.
 * 【mjt100.com】Sle-00_21_02--20170417-225947-0-.pngAzzaca: Uh-hmm.
 * Tweedledee: Well, sir, we need something that off the red list, Azzaca. We need Chardon Beni.
 * Azzaca: That is a tough one on short notice. I have to call a fella who could call a fella who has a boat, but...
 * Tweedledee: No time to haggle. A quarter pound. Friends-and-family rate. We're on the clock.
 * Azzaca: An obeah man is only capable of so much, Mr. Tweedledee. I cannot bend time and space.
 * Tweedledum: And if we pay cash?

''Tweedledum looked at Azzaca as he cut in the argument, and the latter looked at the shop owner with a looking like, "You know what I mean." Then, Azzaca had his eyes widened.'' Tweedledum smiled and nodded. ''Tweedledee looked aside for some seconds with a smile. Then, the owner walked out with a large box. He opened to box and found a piece of Chardon Beni packed in a small green bag. He gave it to Tweedledee, who immediately opened his wallet and paid the price. However, as Tweedledee handed the money to Azzaca, the latter suddenly start swaying his head as he grabbed the hand of Tweedledee.''
 * Azzaca: Oh, you mean to say "that" Chardon Beni.
 * Emperor.Mateus.full.115123.jpgAzzaca: I have a pinch for emergencies.
 * Tweedledee: Yeah...

''Tweedledee was horrified as he looked at Azzaca who immediately looked at him while bellowing in a deep cracking voice. Tweeedledum had the same startling feelings as well.'' ''​Tweedledee was too horrified to move at all, and Tweedledum immediately separated the two when he realized something went wrong. The voice sounded somehow like... Emperor Mateus.'' ''​After five seconds of struggling, Tweedledum managed to separated the fingers of Azzaca from the wrist of Tweedledee, and Azzaca stepped back a bit before his eyes turned back to normal. The Tweedles looked at Azzaca and knew that the latter was sensing something which went wrong.'' ''Overcame from his feelings of pain, Azzaca looked at Tweedledee with concern. He seemed to be aware that he was possessed briefly by Mateus... if Mateus really possessed him for a while.'' ''Tweedledee took the precious small green package while looking at Azzaca. Then, he left with his brother while Azzaca looked at them, seemly worried.''
 * Tweedledee: Hmm?
 * Azzaca (???): A shadow older than time falls over your soul. You shall be claimed.
 * Tweedledum: Let him go, hey. Come on. Come on! Get off him, man!
 * Tweedledum: Azzaca, what happened?
 * Azzaca: Watch yourself, bro. Your fate has changed. You two must protect each other for the worst.

Nowadays
''Tweedledum petted his brother's shoulder. He nodded with a smile.'' ​Tweedledee chuckled and then he stopped before looking at the screen once again, ​Tweedledee then opened the images that Abbie took, and those photos showed that fake Betsy Ross flag with six holes on it. Tweedledum immediately leaned forward and looked at the holes.
 * Tweedledum: I know, it is going to be okay. Sister Mary Eunice is going to solve the problems of that hive, and Crane and Abbie were solving problems with those mad jackals from Van Bij Household. It means we are not fighting alone. Do you know? My greatest problem in my mind is that I am problem-free. I hope you will one day problem-free as well.
 * Tweedledee: Problem-free? That's easier to say than done. Look, Abbie sent us this photo.
 * Tweedledee: They found that flag was a fake. They were hoping that whoever took the real flag would leave behind a clue, something that might tell us where it went.

Tweedledee shrugged his shoulders.
 * Tweedledum: What's with the holes?
 * Tweedledee: I don't know. Burn marks?
 * Tweedledum: Moths? No, they're too... symmetrical. They are all identical... * gasp * meaning they were put there deliberately.
 * Tweedledee: Maybe a griller cipher?
 * Tweedledum: Yeah, maybe, but I mean, what would the source text would be? Why stripes?

​Hearing this, Tweedledee was confused and he looked at Tweedledum for two seconds. ''​Tweedledee was even more confused and he shook his head. Tweedledum then went to mark those holes with circle just by clicking on them. Then, after a brief time, the circle became the shape of music notes.'' ''Tweedledee looked at his brother, amazed, and even Tweedledum seemed surprised as well. However, the latter soon calmed down.'' Then, Tweedledum started to work on the computer in order to find out what the music was referring to by putting those music notes on a short score, imagining if the stripes was a music score. As the short score was finished, Tweedledum and Tweedledee looked at each other.
 * Tweedledee: What?
 * Tweedledum: I mean, I get why the Founding Fathers put starts on the flag, and the... the red, white and blue, that's from the British flag, right? But why stripes?
 * W108ABag.pngTweedledee: Music notes?
 * Tweedledum: Do you want to play Name That Tune?
 * Tweedledee: Yeah.
 * Tweedledum: G-E-C-E-G-C.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Tweedledee: (sing) * Oh, say can you see... * 

''Tweedledee had heard several national anthem of countries on Earth, and he memorized all of them. Therefore, soon he recognized it as the national anthem of the United States of America. He and his brother looked at each other with amazement.''

''Tweedledee and Tweedledum then looked at the flag once again, and soon they found out it was hiding some secret. A confident smile appeared on Tweedledee's face.''
 * Tweedledum: Why is "The Star-Spangled Banner" on this flag?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Tweedledee: We will soon find out. '

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Abbie: That's the... '

''Nobody expected what Abbie saw. What Abbie saw was a pale doll which looked like a young girl, with large blue eyes and brown hair that tied up as two ponytails.'' ''The most unexpected thing was that the face of the doll. Its mouth was cracked and its mouth was wide opened, and its teeth was twisted and mangled.'' ''At this time, Ichabod turned his head and saw the doll as well. Ichabod seemed confused, so he slowly walked closer to the doll.'' ''Abbie shrugged her shoulder and looked at Ichabod. She highly doubt whether it was necessary to join this so-called game, but it was apparent that she had no alternative choice...''
 * Abbie: Is that a doll?
 * Hungary.full.1975934.jpgAbbie: Okay, that's weird.
 * Ichabod: But it is not illlogical.
 * Abbie: Why?
 * Ichabod: Looks like the days of solitude without his family drove Colin mad. He seemly made himself a doll that resembled his sister in order to dedicate to her memory, but it was apparently low quality.
 * Abbie: Very well, if not because this guy might be connected to the recent events connected to witches and bugs, I will definitely leave you here and make you deal with these stuffs personally.

Abbie then ignored the doll and went forward to the gate. ''Abbie then promptly walked closer and took a closer look at the gate. She then skeptically opened the gate and walked into it, and there, she will get a surprise..'' ''At this time, Abbie stood at the spot when she entered the gate, frozen like a rock, and what she saw was the reason that made her shocked. Ichabod entered the place one second later, and he had the same reaction as well... since he and Abbie were looking at a foggy forest, which should not appear in any stadium hall.'' At this time, Ichabod could do nothing but nodded in an approving manner, and started to walk into the forest and surveyed the entire area. ''Ichabod's face suddenly went pale and Abbie noticed this. She then looked around and was surprised. She saw the corpses everywhere, and the corpses were all dressed up as soldiers. Abbie took a look at them.'' Then, Ichabod realized something when Abbie walked closer to one of those corpses and observed it.
 * Ichabod: Ah, all right, but lieuteanant, just please remember, no matter how much I was hating this man, it was nothing personal. He was from a dangerous family that sold their souls to tyranny, and if we don't find him and stop him, the tragedy on Manhattan shall occur in the entire world.
 * Dark-forest-wallpaper-stock-images-00lx5dbbj7.jpgAbbie: Okay, fine, whatever you say...
 * Abbie: What the hell?
 * Abbie_in_the_Necromancer.pngAbbie: Okay, that's weirder.
 * Ichabod: Hmm...
 * Ichabod: This...
 * Abbie: These men aren't regular colonial troops.
 * Ichabod: Washington hand-picked his team for the Delaware mission. These are members of Knowlton's Rangers, the best millitia fighters of their time.

<p style="text-align:center;"><u style="text-align:center;">December 25, 1776

<p style="text-align:center;"> On Delaware River

''Slowly flowing at the foggy Delaware river, the boat which carried Washington and his men were flowing on the ocean. Katrina was on it as well, wearing a 8th Virginia Regiment uniform and sat beside General Washington and the flag that Betsy Ross.''

For now, everything seemed fine, but soon some sort of turnabout shall occur as the boat reached closer to the riverbank... ''At the back of the boat, one of the passengers with a forest green coat as well as a leather hat. Just as Washington and Katrina was looking at the front, a bang had occurred and one man beside Betsy's flag had fell down, getting shot at the back.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: (narrating Katrina's note) [Despite best efforts to safeguard the mission's security, we were almost ruined... since there appears to have been an insurgent on board, apparently sent by Christine Van Bilj in order to ruin our plan.]

Washington, Katrina and others were shocked and they all turned to the insurgent, who revealed his pistol and pointed it to Washington.
 * Insurgent: For the king and the Empire!

In the mess caused by it, a few of the colonial soldiers fell into the Delaware River as Washington and his minions struggled with the difficulty. Two colonial soldiers immediately went towards the spy of Christine and soon subdued him, but then Washington had noticed a trail of smoke coming beneath their feet. Washington and Katrina looked down and they saw a bomb with its fuse lightened and sparkled. Washington and others immediately jumped down from the boat just as it was about to reached the shore, and the explosive exploded on the ship, killing the insurgent as well as the entire team except Washington, Katrina and a few soldiers.
 * Insurgent: Die, traitors! Ms. Van Bilj sends her regards, you bastards!
 * Katrina: TAKE HIM!

Nowadays
''Abbie then kept on checking the corpse she was checking. Ichabod went beside her and picked up a large piece of wood to check it. Even though it might be an illusion, he could still pick it up.'' Ichabod turned back to Abbie and had a glimmer of horror upon his face. ''Abbie then started to survey the area and bit her lips. It was indeed a recreation of the bank of Delaware River which was close to Trenton.'' ''Ignoring the real purpose that Colin called them here, Ichabod and Abbie went on searching. They searched on a corpse after another, but still, they cannot find anything useful. Then, after 10 minutes of searching in vain, both of them were utterly fraustrated.'' ''After hearing this, Ichabod felt that he had no other choice. He could do nothing more other than keep searching in utter fraustration.''
 * 【mjt100.com】_Sl-00_14_08--20170609-105014-0-.pngAbbie: Well, anything that happened in the history of mankind had mysteries, and this is possibly the most mysterious thing I have ever heard...
 * Abbie: Got musket ball strikes on their bodies, and behind the trees.
 * 317Passanger.pngIchabod: Sharpnel from an explosive charge on their boat.
 * Abbie: What the hell happened here, Crane?
 * Ichabod: This is exactly the place where the manslaughter happened. A spy from British Army appeared on the boat and blew it up, killing many on the boat. That is exactly what Katrina wrote in the note written by her.
 * Abbie: Hmm, strange... Katrina said in her note that she was going to stop a consipiracy made by Van Bilj Family... and what kind of conspiracy would it be?
 * Ichabod: Maybe it was hidden on those corpses and we need to find it on them.
 * 【mjt100.com】_Sl-00_18_00--20170609-105245-1-.pngIchabod: Nothing to tell us how or why Washington planned this secret move. No notes, no maps, not even a simple code among them. We lost our way, just as they did.
 * Abbie: We came here to do a job, Crane, so keep searching.
 * Ichabod: Dead men really tell no tales...

''Ichabod then noticed that there was one more man who was lying on the ground. Unbeknowest to him, that was exactly the spy that sabotaged the secret plan and blew up the ship.  Ichabod kept searching the corpse's back pocket and could not find anything at all. He then turned the corpse and kept searching in his front pocket, but then all of a sudden, something terrifying happened. The dead man's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were greyish and were full of spite.'' Before Ichabod could react, the revived man - or more accurately, the zombie - suddenly chocked Ichabod and pushed him on a tree not far away beside them, acting like a total madman.
 * Ichabod: You...
 * 【mjt100.com】_Sl-00_18_10--20170602-085134-0-.pngIchabod: Huh!?

''Then, Ichabod start to struggle with the zombie as Abbie, who already saw this, picked up a sword on the ground and ran towards the zombie. She swayed her sword and immediately chopped the zombie in half.''

''Then, the zombie had to release Ichabod when its severed torso collapsed on the ground. Abbie and Ichabod looked together as Abbie was wearing a fraustrated face.'' ''Ichabod and Abbie then caught their breath, but not for long. The chopped zombie was in fact still "alive", and his torso was still moving. He waved his arm and attacked Abbie's ankle, and Abbie fell on the ground before trying to roll and attack her.'' ''As the zombie tried to assault Abbie, Ichabod picked up the sword which Abbie dropped and kicked the chest of the zombie, making him away from Abbie. Ichabod then struck the sword into the zombie's chest, but the latter kept rolling his head and kept crying, screaming and even babbling.''
 * Abbie: Zombies again?
 * Ichabod: ......
 * 【mjt100.com】_Sl-00_18_43--20170609-105443-3-.png: AH!

''However, Ichabod noticed a black necklace on the zombie's neck and ripped it from the zombie. Finally, the zombie was deactivated and lied on the ground, dead for good. Abbie started to get up and sat on a rock beside her, breating heavily.''



''Ichabod, at this time, was looking at the black necklace he had just ripped off. Then, Abbie noticed it as well.'' Ichabod's face was now full of horror. ''Ichabod sat beside Abbie as the latter's eyes widened in fright. Surely, it was a crazy day for her.'' ''Abbie shrugged her shoulder with a sigh. She could not imagin just how inhumane and cruel this tactic was and it was even designed under an advice of a young woman like Christine.'' Abbie turned back to continue her rest, but Ichabod suddenly widened his eyes as if he realized something.
 * Abbie: What the hell is that?
 * Ichabod: This is a dark magic charm, giving its wearer the curse of eternal life. I assume it was made by Christine Van Bilj.
 * Ichabod: It is surely a tactic of General Howe's. Maybe under Christine's advice, Howe managed to persuade one of his spies to sacrifise his very humanity in order to sabotage Washington.
 * Hungary.full.1774679.jpgAbbie: Too bad that good old George didn't see it coming.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: Or perhaps he did. '

Ichabod then rose his head before putting the broken chasm into his pocket. Abbie then helped Ichabod to finish his word. ''Abbie then widened her eyes. Ichabod had been mentioning this woman named Christine Van Bilj for many times and expressed his hatred on her, and Abbie could not understand this.''
 * Abbie: Oh?
 * Ichabod: Katrina was with him, and so since she is a witch, she had told Washington about this possible sabotage, and she helped Washington among others to survive...
 * Abbie: ... but she can't save them all.
 * Ichabod: I know she had tried... Anyway, this demonic and evil trick only bring me more hatred on Christine van Bilj. This conspiracy she was planning... might be connected to the recent events in this day.
 * Ichabod-Crane-ichabod-crane-sleepy-hollow-tv-series-35759805-500-600.pngAbbie: You mean Christine was trying to make a dark magic ritual, and only Katrina could help Washington to foil it since she is a witch?
 * Ichabod: Yes, Lt. Mills, hat is what I mean.

As Ichabod moved forward to search more clues, Abbie walked further. Ichabod stopped at his spot and he bit his lips, and then, after half a minute of silence, Ichabod raised his head.
 * Abbie: You really hate that Christine. Why?
 * Ichabod: I do not want to talk about it for now. I can only tell you is that Caspar Van Bilj is mad, Colin is madder...

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Ichabod: ... and Christine is the maddest of them all.'



''As the two were talking, they had arrived at a strange place. Ichabod stopped and looked around, and Abbie were surprised to see what she and Ichabod saw.'' What they saw was an enormous staircase which stretched endlessly, from top to the bottom, it seemed that the stadium had a endlessly long staircase. When suddenly...
 * Abbie: Wow, a crazy day for us, huh?
 * Ichabod: Aye, it could be.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Colin: Hello, there, my little rats! Welcome to my world! '

Ichabod and Abbie both heard Colin's shouting and then they looked around, but they could not find him anywhere in the staircase. As an answer, Colin laughed in sheer craziness. Colin did not appear, still, and he chuckled deviously.
 * Abbie: Show yourself, whoever you are, or the only thing that can save you is your hands.
 * Colin: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... you mean I am going to fight you with my bare hands?
 * Abbie: No, I mean you must raise your hands above your head and surrender!

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Colin: Surrender? No, I don't think so. The fun is just beginning!'

Colin then fired his gun at Abbie and Ichabod and they all went downstairs running, and Colin's laugh was filled in the staircase. Abbie shouted out as she tried to avoid from Colin's bullets, and Colin seemed missed for several times, maybe on his own purpose. ''After throwing a long chain of laugher at the Two Witnesses, Colin's voice could not be heard and the gunfire was stopped. Abbie and Ichabod stopped running beside a door and they looked at each other.'' ''Ichabod looked at the door and looked above it. He found a large "B4" on it. Ichabod shrugged his shoulders.'' "......" Abbie then pushed the door opened, and Ichabod followed her and got into it...
 * Abbie: Run, Crane!
 * Colin: Yes, yes, my two little rats, run for your lives! Run to B4 floor and we will have more fun!
 * Abbie: You really sure if we need to follow his game?
 * Ichabod: Do you think we have any other choice? We must apprehend him. He may know more secrets.
 * Abbie: Fine, but we must be fast.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Sleepy Hollow  <p style="text-align:center;"> Trout Lake  <p style="text-align:center;"> Corbin's Cabin 

For Sister Mary Eunice, the cabin of Corbin was having less fun ever since Katarina Couteau and her friends' departure, and the fact that a demonic hive was hiding in the area could be more chilling and scary to think. ''At this time, Sister Mary Eunice had no time to feel sad about her current loneliness. Instead, she immediately set out in search for the hive.'' Sister Mary Eunice then took a look at some trees beside her and her face lit up. With no hestitation, Sister Mary Eunice immediately turned to find the hive, and not for long, she suddenly heard a strange voice.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Now, where should I start? Hmm...
 * -美国恐怖故事--第二季-第1-00_20_54--20170323-100456-1-.pngSister Mary Eunice: Maybe there...

It was just like bee's humming. Sister Mary Eunice then slowly turned slowly and gently to the noise which she deduced that there was a hive.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: That's it.

''Due to a traumatic experience of suffering from bee stings when she was a child, Sister Mary Eunice was afraid of bees and wasps despite she admitted bees are good creatures. Even so, she should not be worried anymore since she was now immune to bee stings due to her spiritual status.''

''However, she was very careful when she finally spoofed the hive and went closer to it... and she found that large hive on the tree, with red wasps around it.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice immediately stopped acting so cautious. Instead, she turned herself into her angel form all of a sudden and released light beam.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Here... we... go...
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Now, die!

''Sister Mary Eunice opened her palm and summoned a large red fire ball, and then she threw it immediately to the large hive. Her attack successfully hit the hive and blew it up.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' BOOOOOOM! '

The hive exploded and started burning until it was reduced back to ashes, and soon the killer wasps around it were turning into ashes as well. ''Sister Mary Eunice then returned back to her nun form before she looked around. For now, the problem of killer bees had ended and the only things she needed to worry was the flag of Betsy Ross as well as the ashes of the Dark Witches.'' With no hestitations, Sister Mary Eunice immediately contacted Tweedledee and Tweedledum using a magic mirror she summoned. Tweedledee's response was... The good news would make Sister Mary Eunice smile and nod in satisfaction. The bad news, however...
 * Sister Mary Eunice: That's too easy.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Tweedledee? The hive is now clear. Is there any progress in your research?
 * Tweedledee: [Sister, there is a good news as well as a bad news.]
 * Sister Mary Eunice: What is the good news?
 * Tweedledee: [The good news is, we found something connected to the possible location to the flag of Betsy Ross, and we were looking for Ichabod and Abbie.]
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Good, and What is the bad news?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Tweedledee: [We experienced an car accident and we are now lost in woods...] 

Sister Mary Eunice widened her gaze in shock and then she covered her face with her palm. Tweedledee shrugged his shoulder with an embarrased smile.
 * -美国恐怖故事--第二季-第9-00_31_22--20170304-234656-0-.pngSister Mary Eunice: You what?!
 * Sister Mary Eunice: [Is you guys okay?]


 * Tweedledee: [Well, if you want to make us a funeral, be my guest.]

Sister Mary Eunice bit her lips as she calmed herself down. Sister Mary Eunice immediately contacted Ichabod as quick as she could, but she waited for a long time and there were no response.. ''Then, Sister Mary Eunice tried to contact Abbie but she failed as well. Then, Sister Mary Eunice sighed helplessly and lean herself on a dead tree beside the tree where the hive once existed.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: ......
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Where are you guys?
 * Tweedledee: [Well, we are in the woods, approximately 20 km away from Corbin's cabin, I suppose.]
 * Sister Mary Eunice: May I go there and pick you up?
 * Tweedledee: Don't worry, Sister. We will find our way. You just need to wait there for us and you will fly us to Boston.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Very well, Dee. I will tell Crane right away.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Come on, come on...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Sister Mary Eunice: I think I might lost them. '

''All of a sudden, Sister Mary Eunice had a strange feelings... She was feeling that the deam tree she leaned made her feel chill on her spine.'' Sister Mary Eunice immediately stood up and turned back in order to check the tree which made her very uneasy. ''The tree was seemly just a plain withered tree with dry branches, no leaves. However, when she narrowed her eyes and leaned forward, Sister Mary Eunice felt there was something very strange.'' ''Through the tree, Sister Mary Eunice saw through the trunk of the tree and then she saw purple mists as well as sparkling eyes and black, widened mouth with no teeth. Then, holding back her fear, she see through the demonic faces once again...'' ''... before she saw a human shadow which seemed like a woman, standing straight, but she could not see the shadow's facial features. However, Sister Mary Eunice could felt that the shadow was still alive and was, for now, in dormant.'' ''She then looked closer before she finally see the face of the shadow. She was so shocked that she even stepped back in horror.'' ''Suddenly, her words and thoughts was interrupted by a noise like someone who stepped on a stick, breaking it in half. Sister Mary Eunice was immediately distracted from her visions before she turned back. She never expected what she saw...''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: What is that...
 * SoulsoftheForgotten-TF04-JP-VG.jpgSister Mary Eunice: How could I feel a life in the tree? A sinister life?

Abbie bit her lips as she looked at the nyon sign. Ichabod, however, merely shook his head as he widened his eyes looking at the flashing nyon sign. Abbie helplessly looked at Ichabod who had a look of sarcasm in his eyes.
 * Ichabod: What on Earth is that?
 * Abbie: Yeah, a maze with a sign like this, that is pretty damn strange.
 * Ichabod: Why is that sign change color again and again? Colin is trying to play tricks upon us.
 * Abbie: I think it was necessary to tell you about nyon later... right after this was over.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Colin: Are you two ready to play!? '

''The voice of Colin appeared once again when another fire was shot, and it missed Ichabod and Abbie once again. The shot had made them both shocked and startled in some kind of sheer fright.'' ''Colin's voice could only made Ichabod and Abbie more and more incensed. As Colin stopped talking, Abbie and Ichabod looked at each other and they could do nothing but entering into the maze.''
 * Abbie: That is him again!
 * Colin: [I am hiding right inside this maze, and now look for the exit so that you can enter the next step, Witnesses! How long can you survive?]

''The next twenty minutes was full of hunt and kill. There were several zombies coming at the corner of the entire labyrinth, and they had to fire at the zombies again and again.''

''However, fortuately, those monsters were so weak that only one gunfire had reduced them into ashes. The most horrible threat were not zombies, however. The laughing of Colin Van Bilj could be heard everywhere in the room and gunfire of snipers could be heard.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Colin: Yes, yes, that is it! My little rats, you are now ready to leave this place... '



''After some struggling, Ichabod and Abbie was both stressed out and had no bullets in their guns. Ichabod and Abbie had found that the gunfire of Colin was now apparently stopped.''

At this time, Colin was refilling his bullet. ''The freakish attitude like a spoiled and nasty child had only made Abbie feel annoyed. What annoyed Abbie more was Colin's girlish giggle. Just then, Abbie turned and saw there was a red door and the end of corridor.'' ''Abbie attempted to run towards the red door, which was apparently inside a white room, but she felt that she was stopped. In fact, Ichabod had grabbed Abbie's wrist and tried to pull her away. In shock, Abbie immediately let go of Ichabod.'' ''Enraged, Abbie turned back and was surprised to see the face of Ichabod, which was filled with sheer terror. Ichabod's face was paled and he looked at the red door far away. It was apparent that the red door had stir some memory he would never want to remember ever again.'' Abbie was utterly confused and she widened her gaze, as Ichabod was shivering.
 * Colin: I can wait for an eternity in order to toy with you both, since this is absolutely funny!
 * Abbie: Ah, that must be the exit! Crane, go!
 * Abbie: What are you doing?
 * Ichabod: Don't go there, lieutenant...
 * Abbie: Hmm?

''Despite the face of Ichabod was pale and terrified, Abbie did not understand what Ichabod was on about. She was only thinking about how to leave this dreadful place.'' ''With haste, Abbie immediately ran towards the red door. Ichabod was shocked and he immediately chased Abbie.''
 * Abbie: Crane?
 * IMG_7556.pngIchabod: Lieutenant, that door leads to the place of sheer horror... We might be going into the wrong direction. This will be the last place you want to go.
 * Abbie: Crane, we had found the only possible exit, and I don't think this is a trap.
 * Crane: I think this is dangerous, lieutenant...
 * Abbie: Really? Because I don't!

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Ichabod: Lieutenant, don't! 

At this time, inside his hideout, Colin gleefully had his bullets filled, and he tried to point the gunpoint at the two once again, but he was startled that he saw the two running out of the room. ''Colin was so shocked that he immediately dropped the rifle from his hand. He was trying to manipulate the old fear of Ichabod in order to turn him away from the red door, which was the real exit...''
 * Colin: No... no way, I lost them...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Colin: I made them slipped away! How could I? '

At this time, Colin could only slammed his fist on his leg.

<p style="text-align:center;"> After passing the red door 

<p style="text-align:center;"> In a corridor 

''After running into the place behind the red door, Abbie stopped and Ichabod stopped behind her. They did not saw something terrifying. It was only a simple and plain corridor.'' ''Ichabod widened his eyes and he was still pale in his eyes. Somehow, he was caught in an illusion.'' ''Abbie was surprised by Ichabod's mumbling, and she immediately pinched his arm. In great pain, Ichabod closed his eyes, and then he opened it. When he saw the corridor, Ichabod sighed in relief.'' ''At this time, Abbie realized that it was something in the past of Ichabod was awakened inside his mind. She immediately asked Ichabod.'' ''​Ichabod turned his head and looked at Abbie. Then, Ichabod had to do nothing but letting out a sigh.''
 * Abbie: Look at your so-called dangerous place, Crane.
 * Ichabod: No, mother... mother... Please, don't...
 * [[File:Ichabod-Crane-Screencaps-ichabod-crane-sleepy-hollow-tv-series-35761154-500-281.jpg|thumb|340px]]Ichabod: Oh, thank you, lieutenant. I was, oh, I was almost haunted by what I saw... once again...
 * Abbie: Crane, what happened? I said you spoke about your mother. What happened to her? Tell me, please.
 * LadyCraneMeadow.jpgIchabod: Very well... That was years ago. My mother is a kind, selfless and loving woman, like a child of nature itself. She was kind to me, and I loved her very, very dearly...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: ... but I never expected that she died... behind a red door... inside an iron maiden... '

Ichabod's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> [Flashes]

As she was talking, Lady Crane smilingly showed a toy she made for Ichabod in front of her boy child on bed.
 * Lady Crane: Ichabod, look, here is my little gift made for you...

''It was a circle wooden frame, tied with ropes on each sides respectively. On one side of the frame, it was drawn with a red sparrow, and on another side - a bird cage. Then, Lady Crane spun the frame in front of Ichabod.''

''Then, miracles happened. Ichabod felt that it was showing him a scene that the bird was trying to get out of the cage itself. Ichabod smiled with pleasure... until he caught a glimmer of horror.'' Looking at the window behind Lady Crane, Ichabod saw the face of his father, Lord Thomas Crane, but he never saw that kind of angry and malicious mood appeared on his father's face before. ''It was stormy outside, and when the lightning flashes, the face of Lord Crane became more and more menacing. Lady Crane noticed that the mood of her son changed, and she turned back to see the face of her husband.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Lady Crane: My Lord... '

''Lady Crane was so startled that she immediately went away. Ichabod had to close his eyes in bed. Lord Crane left the scene silently. However, at this time, Ichabod could feel that something strange was just happening on his father, who was supposed to be kind and loving, and would never give a face like that. For a while, Ichabod knew something was wrong, but he could not tell what happened then.'' However, unbeknownest to Ichabod, that was only the beginning of his worst childhood nightmare ever that he somehow locked it up inside his mind for years...

<p style="text-align:center;">' Only after a few days...  <p style="text-align:center;"> ... that happened...  <p style="text-align:center;"> ... all of a sudden... '

<p style="text-align:center;"> [Flashes] 



A few days later, in another stormy night, Ichabod was awoken by some noise and was highly disturbed with sheer horror. It was his mother crying. ''Ichabod carefully snuck out of his room and then he walked into the corridor. He was hiding himself behind a wall and widened his eyes with sheer horror. He saw his father was dragging Lady Crane through the long corridor, grabbing her hair with sheer brute force.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: (think) * Father... Mother... * '

''Ichabod saw his father's eyes flashed inhumanely red, and his face was cold and harden like stone. It was even more menacing when Ichabod saw his father a few days ago in that stormy night...'' 'That was unholy. It was like some sort of... thing... had got into Lord Crane's body... and taking over his soul.'

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: (think) * What happened? * '

Seeing such an unbelievable scene, Ichabod was so horrified that he could barely move at all.

''He could only watched with horror as Lord Crane dragged Lady Crane in front of a furnace... and sadly, he could do nothing.'' ''Despite Lady Crane's pledge for mercy, Lord Crane was not relent. Still hiding with sheer horror and could barely move at all, Ichabod could not believe what he saw with his own eyes.''
 * Lady Crane: Spare me... please...

Then, Lord Crane immediately forced Lady Crane to kneel in front of the burning furnace. As Lord Crane was bellowing, Ichabod had felt that it sounded inhumane and strange, and it was not like the original speaking voice of his father, who was a man that was supposed to be benevolent.
 * Lord Crane (???): Kneel! Tell me what have you done recently!

<p style="text-align:center;">' In fact, no human has that kind of voice... '



''However, when Ichabod looked closer, he suddenly saw something strange. The shadow of Lord Crane casted upon the wall started to change its shape, and it soon turned into something utterly demonic and sadistic...'' "Lord Crane" then pushed her head and forced her to bent her back, shouting inhumanely once again as he pointed at the sand in front of the furnace.
 * Lady Crane: Please, my Lord... I did nothing wrong to our family, or my child.
 * IMG_7553.pngLord Crane (???): Liar! And what is that?

''What "Lord Crane" was pointing was a magical charm that was drawn by Lady Crane a few days ago. The process was witnessed by Ichabod. Lady Crane drew this charm was for a use of blessing, as she was trying to bless her son.'' ''Lady Crane tried to explain the situation, but "Lord Crane"... or someone who assumed his identity... had refused to listen. He even punched her severely, and Ichabod saw them with his own eyes.''
 * Lord Crane (???): You pathetic witch! You try to poison our son's mind! You will receive my punishment!

''Lady Crane turned back to look at her husband, but when she turned to take a look, she suddenly saw the face of "Lord Crane" changed... into a much more menacing look of another woman with black hair and narrow eyes, before Lady Crane widened her eyes in sheer horror...''

... before she suddenly shouted out.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Lady Crane: YOU ARE NOT THOMAS! WHO ARE YOU!? '

''What she received was a severe whipping as the response coming from "Lord Crane", and Lady Crane had to suffer from whipping. Ichabod tried to help his mother, but he could not help it at all...'' ''As she was suffering, however, Lady Crane was still looking at the face of "her husband" before she saw deeper into "his" face almost immediately... and then she saw the true "thing" that was possessing her dear husband...''
 * Lord Crane (silence): Silent! I am trying to clean your soul! I will make you atone, you mere descendant of Salem sinners!



''It was a twisted and inhumane face that was unable to describe in any human language. The face was corrupt, deformed and mangled that was even hardly a face at all. Beside the face, Lady Crane saw twisted spirals in red, blue, grey and black. She had never saw that kind of face before.'' ''However, before she could scream out, Lady Crane was punched unconcious. Then, "Lord Crane" soon stopped whipping and dragged Lady Crane into another side of the corridor, just as Ichabod watched...'' ''Soon afterwards, Ichabod saw a door at the end of corridor opened, which lead into a white room. The interior decoration of that room was white as snow, but there was a dark red door inside the room. The color of the crimson door was as red as blood.''

''Ichabod could do nothing to save his mother. He could only watched as that monster who possessed his father dragged Lady Crane into the red door, before closing it.'' ''Trying to be braver, Ichabod held back his fear in his mind and walked slowly and carefully into the room. Soon, he entered the room and found that it was like just like a simple church...''

<p style="text-align:center;"> [Flashes]

''After ten minutes, "Lord Crane" silently went out of that red door and went away with no emotions on his face. However, as he was walking to the corridor, he suddenly collapsed himself on the ground, losing his own conciousness.'' ''At this time, Ichabod silently looked at the entire scene and realized that something was impersonating his father and did something unknown to his mother. Scared and confused, Ichabod slowly and carefully went into that red room...'' Soon enough, Ichabod enterned into the room...
 * Ichabod: ......

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

What Ichabod saw was a large torture chamber, and inside it there were many torture tools, cages, blades and all sort of tortures inside it.

<p style="text-align:center;">' What was more...  <p style="text-align:center;"> There was an iron maiden at the center... '


 * ChildIchabod-TortureChamber.jpg???: Ichabod...

Ichabod heard a strange voice coming from the iron maiden, and he soon realized that it was his mother's voice, albeit it was weak as if she was dying ... and that made Ichabod terrified... ''At this time, Ichabod was standing in front of an iron chair with countless spikes on it. He then looked at the iron maiden with horror before he saw a pair of eyes which could be seen through the "eyes" of Iron maiden.''
 * Ichabod: Mother?

<p style="text-align:center;">' It was a pair of human eyes... '

Ichabod was so startled that he immediately stepped back, but suddenly... ''Feeling his hand being stung by something, Ichabod pulled up his hand. He found his palms being pricked by the spikes on the chair. Ichabod tried to held his pain in his bleeding hand, after being strucked by those iron thorns.''
 * Ichabod: Ahh!

''Ichabod then walked towards that iron coffin while trying to hold back his pain. He was sure that the voice came from his beloved mother...''

''With his hand tainted with blood, Ichabod then looked at his bleeding palms with holes on them, and his face immediately went pale. At this time, the innoncence Ichabod was broken.'' ''​Just as Ichabod mumbling, the iron box in front of him soon opened... and before he fell into comatose due to his sheer fear, Ichabod could only watch in horror as he saw blood flowing out of the box...''
 * Ichabod: Mother...

<p style="text-align:center;">' And then... that happened... '



Nowadays
Abbie felt that she had never heard anything in that scale of gruesomeness, and soon she widened her eyes as Ichabod continued.
 * Empty_room_17_by_madamem_stock.jpgIchabod: That was what happened to my parents, and somehow I could not remember the whole thing until we two delved into this maze... like some part of my memory were erased... until now. Somehow, Colin managed to recreate the scene, and I guess he was trying to remind me of that sheer horror... and then he will seize the chance to kill me in the process...
 * Ichabod: However, Colin was not the first one who taunt me about all of this.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: It was his sister. '

Ichabod's Flashbacks
<p style="text-align:center;"> When Ichabod was 15...

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

''After Ichabod returned back to Eton College after the event of the Ripper Murders, all seemed different, as Ichabod lost his best friend. What was more, Ichabod was also harrased by two classmates who tried to put salt on his wounds.''

''The autumn had came, and when Ichabod returned to Eton College, he could only feel melancholy. However, much to his chargin, the Van Bilj Twins was behaving like nothing really happened at all.'' ''At night, Ichabod wandered in a bridge within the school, and he was wondering what was happening in that time. The shadow of that mysterious "Ripper always haunted his own mind."'' ''When Ichabod heard the voice of Christine Van Bilj, he could hardly hide his feelings of disgust and hatred. Ichabod knew that Van Bilj were amoral sadists despite their young age, and he would not talk to either of them at all.'' ''Despite his rage and anger, Ichabod was trying to be polite. Even so, he did not look at Christine, who was right behind him with a cold face.'' ''Ichabod clenched his fist and bit his lips. He did not answer.'' ''While speaking, Christine playfully walked towards Ichabod, bouncing like a spoiled child. She was wearing a dark green dress with a hat.''
 * Ichabod: (think) How could they?
 * Christine: Crane? What happened? Why are you here?
 * Ichabod: Christine, I am fine. Please stay away.
 * Christine: I do not understand. Why did your friend being so stupid? Poor Berty. You think it was not his own fault when he was killed by that killer in that sort of gruesome way, but I think you need to move on.
 * Christine: What happened? You are feeling angry of some sort? Maybe, you are.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Christine: Crane, do you have any dreams? I have a special dream. One day, when I graduated from this acadamy, I will serve the king, and I want you to be my assistant. '

''Ichabod immediately refused the request of Christine, since he knew she was far away from a saint. Ichabod then turned back in order to leave the place.'' ''However, as Ichabod tried to leave the place, he felt his arm was grabbed by someone. It was Christine. Ichabod let her go with sheer disgust and tried to leave, but Christine walked towards him and blocked his way.'' Christine was widening her eyes and mouth in anger, and yetIchabod only glared at her with scorn. Christine looked at Ichabod with a sad face, but then she immediately sighed. Ichabod was so confused and he looked at Christine with wary. Christine immediately showed her palm to Ichabod, and her face suddenly had a smile wore on it. Ichabod looked at the palm of Christine and he looked at her smiling face once again.
 * 303YoungIchabod.pngIchabod: Go and find your brother. I am not the type of person who will serve someone like you.
 * Ichabod: For me, those bad luck happened on me during these years is intense enough, and I cannot stand the fact that you are always here taunting me.
 * Hungary.full.1074411.jpgChristine: Why are you trying to hide away from me? Crane, I tell you, no matter what happened, you should stay as calm as possible, and look at me! I am always calm and would not panic to anything as long as it is not my business. No matter how the rulers were corrupt, farmers will not care as long as they had wheats to harvest. I think I am with those.
 * Ichabod: I am not like you, Ms. Van Bilj. Leave me alone.
 * Christine: Fine, Crane, I promise I will leave you alone, only after you did me one more thing.
 * YoungIchabod.pngIchabod: What exactly are you playing at?
 * Christine: I am so sorry for my prievious doings. I should not joke at Berty's death, and I should not play those tricks on you. Would you please forgive me?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Christine: With only a shake of hand, the problems between you and I shall cease. '

''Ichabod thought for a second and decided that he will not let the lady waiting, according to the teaching of his father. Ichabod then nodded his head.'' ''Ichabod then started to shook hand with Christine, but when he shook her hand, he suddenly had a vision, seeing that horrible iron maiden once again. Then, it flashed back to Christine, who was letting out a cryptic evil smile...''
 * Ichabod: Very well.
 * Christine: Oh, Crane, I told you to never hide away from me...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Christine: Did you remember your worst nightmare? '

''Ichabod's eyes widened in horror all of a sudden as he saw the iron maiden once again. He saw his child self was standing in front of the iron maiden...''

<p style="text-align:center;">' ... and then it opened... '

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: No... '



''Soon, the vision itself disappeared as Christine let Ichabod's hand go. Christine somehow saw the worst childhood nightmare within Ichabod's mind and made it to occur once again inside his brains.''

Then, Christine triumphantly looked at a startled and shocked Ichabod, with a sadistic smile on her face.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Christine: See? Just a simple thing. Now, I will do what I promised. I won't talk to you ever again. '

''With a gleeful grin, Chirstine then left, and Ichabod was staying at the same spot, widened his eyes and sweating. 3 minutes later, another student arrived and found Icahbod still standing, with his face purple. The student was shocked and immediately sent Ichabod to the school medic...''

''No one knew Christine did this, and no one knew what happened on Ichabod. Anyway, after that event, Ichabod lied on the bed for two days until he finally recovered, and he can hardly remember a thing about his last encounter with Christien at all...''

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

Nowadays
When Ichabod thought about the violent and gory scene in his head, he always felt that his head felt hurt due to his sorrow. ''Ichabod bit his lips as he clentched his fist. His body was trembling.'' After that, Ichabod then walked towards the door with his eyes narrowed stoicly. ''As Ichabod was talking, Abbie and Ichabod promptly left the place and walked towards the car, assuring Colin had left. All the way walking, Abbie heard Ichabod's word and blinked her eyes. She did not know how many secrets were hiding in the past of this Ichabod Crane, but still, it was affecting nowadays.''
 * Abbie: Crane?
 * Ichabod: That is what Christine did. She used magic to remind me that my mother died undignified. She build her own tower of joy on others' pain. I don't know if my mother was born or learned to become a witch, or she may know some tricks. However, Christine had multiplied the pain given towards me... by six.
 * Ichabod: This is unforgivable. I still cannot... cannot believe the fact that my father had her killed. I must delve into the truth. That is why I need to confront Christine personally... if her return is true. We have a great grudge which needs to resolve personally, and still, we need to stop her. We will do what Colin say. He may knows something.

''Just as Abbie was wondering Ichabod opened the door, and he soon found that he and were at a corner. The corridors lead to two different ways. Abbie opened her eyes wider to take a look.'' ​Abbie looked at Ichabod with confusion. ​Abbie did not fancy the idea, but in fact, she felt that she had no alternative choice. ​Ichabod blinked as he smiled to Abbie.
 * Ichabod: I think we need to depart in two ways for now, in order to check dangers..
 * Abbie_Mills.pngAbbie: Why?
 * Ichabod: If Colin was still trying to hunt us down, it would be dangerous for us to be side by side since he may had both of us killed. If we were temporarily seperated, he won't decide which to choose and may wait for a while. We could find more of the connections between him and those horrible events... after seizing this valuable chance.
 * Abbie: Hmm, well... At first, you must promised me that you will be okay.
 * Ichabod: I promise.
 * Abbie: Very well, Crane, and meet me here after 10 minutes.

''Then, Ichabod and Abbie seperated and went on their respective ways. Abbie held her gun and walked deeper into the corridor, deeper and deeper, and when she bypass a window with glimmer of lights, she stopped. Abbie leaned the wall carefully and looked inside the hall. She heard someone speaking.''

''It was a woman who spoke in a deep, husky voice, with thick British accent. The voice started to occur after Abbie heard some whipping voice, sounded like someone slapping their whip on a table.'' ​Colin's voice could be heard soon afterwards, much to the surprise of Abbie...
 * ???: You failed me, brother. You failed our master. You put everything in risk.
 * Colin: I am sorry, Christine... I was only trying to toy them...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Abbie: (think) * Christine?! * '

''Abbie tried to lean forward to the window to look closer. From the window, she saw the figure of Christine Van Bilj, a tall, well-dressed and aristocratic woman who dressed up like someone who was from Europe in 18th century.''
 * Chistine: Toy them? Is that what you can only do? I am so disappointed, but we can talk about this later. If there is any necessity...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Christine: I will take down those wretched Witnesses by myself! '

Flashbacks
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior - In the Name of Saints 

''Michael then summoned the floating mirror which would reach the past and contact someone who was related or once related to him, whether they are his allies or enemies. Now, Michael wanted to contact none other than Atticus Nevins. The Blood Moon Wicked Pendant started to glow on the chest of Michael as he concentrated himself on the mirror. Michael knew it was just the accurate time for him to contact Nevins since he needed time to wait until Nevins was revived. Soon, the face of Nevins appeared on the magical mirror, who looked at him with confusion.'' ''Nevins was surprised to see Michael's face. Nevins was one of the few people who knew Michael's true identity under his disguise, and so he recognized him immediately.'' With bewilderment, Michael blinked his eyes as if Nevins was talking to air itself. Nevins looked at Michael with confusion on his face. Hearing this, ​Michael swayed his hand as if he was trying to swat a mosquito.
 * Blood_moon_by_koobazz.jpgMichael: Time killing is over. I believe it is the right time now, and...
 * Atticus_Nevins-SHS3.pngMichael: Long time no see, Atticus.
 * Nevins: Where have you been?
 * Michael: Where have I been? Well, Atticus, I am sorry since I was defeated by Katarina and forced to retreat back to my era. However, I am overseeing your conditions for days and now, you are finally revived. You should thank me about that since I was the one who brought the corpse to our Master. By the way, how was the things.
 * Nevins: I had just left the house of Colin Van Bilj. He seemly drove for Boston to get the flag made by Betsy Ross.
 * Michael: Nah, that was futile. He was such a dimwit, since the flag of Betsy Ross was never inside the house of Paul Revere. Someone placed a fake one inside the house of Revere to hide the genuiue one. I know, and yet... Colin won't get it quite so suddenly. I bet Ichabod Crane and Abigail Mills would be on their way there as well, and Colin would lurk there waiting for them. That is all I deduce.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;">Michael then looked at Nevins, who had brought back to life just some minutes ago.

''Nevins heard all of those things and his gaze widened. Michael was not presented in Sleepy Hollow, but he had some instinct that was accurate, even like an oracle. It is unknown, though, if Michael was able to look through  the future of his own .'' Putting the Grand Grimoire on his knees after sitting on a chair, Michael looked at Nevins playfully, and Nevins slowly lowered his head and sighed.
 * Nevins: You mean...
 * Michael: Yes, you don't need to do anything to take down the Witnesses. Just make Colin to clean their mess. However, I was interested that whether you managed to get the fresh blood sample of a Van Bilj family member - especially Christine Van Bilj - in order to proceed to the next part.
 * Nevins: No, I did not. Colin refuse to cooperate with me... with us.
 * Michael: I know he won't.

Hearing this, Nevins suddenly blinked his eyes with blank astonishment. ​Michael calmly let out a smug smirk. Soon it was clear that Michael was currently removing the events of the past and manipulate the newly-formed crises of Blood Moon Witches, and he was also taking part in the plan of Van Bilj siblings in order to find a chance to back-stab them once they outlived his usefulness.
 * Hungary.full.1598623.jpgMichael: The time is not yet to come, and it needs patience to wait until you can gain the witch blood from Christine.
 * Nevins: I see, and what about you?
 * Michael: I had gained the blood of the son of Duke Firenza with ease, and I hope you can achieve the same. After I burn this lame future into ash, I will return and help you in our next step to destroy the Witnesses and have my revenge complete. However, since for now, I am stuck in here, I need to do something a lot more creative.

However, at this time, Michael seemed to know something, and he tried to gave a hint to Nevins just for sheer fun. Nevins looked at Michael with confusion in his eyes, and he shrugged his shoulders. Michael's smile went wider and he shook his head in a playful attitude. Michael went silent for a while before he immediately went serious once more. Noticing the change on Michael's expressions, Nevins immediately leaned forward and curiously looked at Michael. ''Nevins was satisfied when he heard Corbin was dead, and he nodded with a satisfying smile. Then, he heard the orders of Micheal.''
 * Michael: By the way, do you REALLY think that Christine was back from the dead?
 * Nevins: Why not? You don't believe it?
 * Mckey_mary-eunice_9763.jpgMichael: People love mystery.
 * Michael: Oh, by the way, well, since I had connect myself with the time of yours, I am able to see a little thing that might be our setbacks.
 * Nevins: What is it?
 * Michael: Sister Mary Eunice is heading towards the Trout Lake, beside the fishing cabin of the late August Corbin - trust me, he is dead now - in order to thwart the plan of Van Bilj siblings. I don't want you protect the hive. I want you to capture her.
 * MV5BMTU2MTk1MDczNl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTI1MjE1OQ@@._V1_SX640_SY720_.jpgNevins: Very well, and I will do what I said.

Just as Nevins was about to leave, Michael stood up and called at him. Nevins turned back to Michael with confusions in his eyes. Michael coughed to clear his throat and then he spoke in a slow and deep voice. Michael smirked deviously in pure satisfaction. Nevins then nodded once again. ''Hearing this, Michael's face began to twitch once again. His smile became more and more twisted.'' Nevins did not want to seek out what Michael got in the store since the latter was someone who would keep his secrets, but his curiosity began to accumulate, which prompted him to asked one more question. Michael's lips began to turn back into a straight line and became serious once more. ​Nevins crossed his arms with doubts. With a smug smirk, Michael then looked at Nevins who immediately thought for a while before deducing the answer right in front of Michael. Michael nodded with the smirk smile unchanged on his egotistic face. ''​Michael's smile suddenly faded and he lowered his head in sadness. Nevins noticed this immediately.'' ​Michael slowly nodded with an emotionless face. Nevins then crossed his arm once again to look at Michael, and Michael realized that he had talked too much.
 * Michael: Atticus, wait a minute.
 * Nevins: What is it?
 * Michael: After the mission was accomplished, call your Hessian minions and hunt down the artifact that you were looking for. Jennifer Mills knew where it is, and you must take her to the Master before using the artifact to summon a horde of demons out from Hell as we originally planned. Also, contact the Horseman of War when the situation needed, please.
 * Nevins: I understand, Mr. Langdon.
 * Michael: Remember, Katrina Crane is the key part to our plan. The Master would be glad to arrage more on her in order to take down Crane with the woman he loved most as a bait, before we start to break the second seal.
 * Nevins: What about Abigail Mills.
 * Michael: She... will... be... ours.
 * Nevins: By the way, what are you worrying about?
 * Michael: Do you want to know why I am trying to gain the blood from Christine Van Bilj and Carl Robinson in the same time? I did this on purpose. I need to make sure that the Croatoan Virus would spread across the world, and since the only cure of original virus was the water from Roanoke...I need to enhance the virus.
 * Nevins: Are you sure about this?
 * CroatoanVirus.jpgel: Yes, I am. The human's next evolution will be Croats, numerous horrible mutant zombies with no minds of themselves and only walked shambling like a living dead, a perfect army for... Who do you think he is?
 * Nevins: The Horseman of Conquest.
 * Michael: Then, there will be three Horsemen to go. I haven't figure out how to recreate the great hunger in Jamestown in order to summon the Horseman of Famine, but I think that would be great to do so.
 * Nevins: I suppose we are not just talking about the Four Horsemen, right?
 * Joan.of.Arc.(Fate.Apocrypha).full.2047687.jpgMichael: No, we are not.
 * Nevins: Is there anything else you want to share with me?
 * Michael: By now, I am worried about my apprentice, Melancholia, who still had some positive quality of Plasir that strained her own determination to commit whatever I told her to do. I know she was loyal to me, but it seemed that she was becoming unstable. Therefore, I planted a soul fragment inside her to drive her insane, so that she would be a zealous man loyal to me, with her good counterpart being broke down.
 * Michael: In the end, I think that is all for now. I will find a solution myself. You just do what I told you and we shall discuss this once there are needs of discussions. Bon voyage, Atticus.

Nowadays
''When Atticus Nevins appeared in front of Sister Mary Eunice, the latter was utterly shocked and startled. She immediately glared at him.'' ​Sister Mary Eunice could not believe her eyes, and she was even more shocked when she saw that ruby ring on Nevins' index finger.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: N-Nevins?

Without any response, Nevins raised his fist and punched Sister Mary Eunice, and he sent her three meters away until she hit the wall and fell.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I thought you are dead! And that ring...

''Sister Mary Eunice struggled herself to get up. She was very astonished when she realized that Nevins had an ability of harming holy spirits. She stood up and looked at Nevins with her eyes wide up in shock.''
 * Nevins: This ring is only a replica made by Colin van Bilj, and he brought me back to death with the help of my Master. Now, Sister, I am sorry that I do this to you, and yet you have to tell me where is Katarina Couteau, the one who killed me!

''She saw Nevins' eyes as he approached her. The eyes of Nevins had changed into an inhumane and unnatural color of orange, and it was very shocking to see those eyes. No human beings on Earth have eyes like that.''
 * -美国恐怖故事--第二季-第9-00_31_22--20170304-234656-0-.pngSister Mary Eunice: No, it cannot be...

''Just then, ​Sister Mary Eunice immediately returned to her calm state and overcame the sudden startle. She interrupted Nevins.''
 * Nevins: What is going on, Sister? I sense fear inside you. Don't you want to show your bravery and wits? Aren't you always brave? Now, why can't you deal with me anymore? If you want to be a dead dog, then bark! I will make you suffer from all eternity...

Hearing this, Nevins' eyes widened in surprise and his tone became cooler. ''Nevins began to feel more and more surprised since he did not expected this even if Michael gave him the orders for a new mission. Sister Mary Eunice seized the chance and started to draw her holy sword behind her secretly.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice immediately turned into her angel form and slashed the sword on Nevins, but Nevins managed to grab the sword with his bare hand. Sister Mary Eunice immediately narrowed her eyes.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I vouch for it. Katarina Couteau is not here anymore.
 * Nevins: Then, I will find Michael Langdon. He will help me from killing Katarina.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Michael Langdon is dead... or so it seemed.
 * Edmond_dantes_by_gumdeong-d9xje6g.pngNevins: Huh, who killed him?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Which time?
 * Nevins: So he returned back from the dead as well?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Yes, and here, I have no time wasting with you. Now, if you don't mind, allow me to cast you to Hell where you belong!
 * Nevins: Ha, yout

''Then, Sister Mary Eunice narrowed her eyes even further and summoned other holy spirits. Then, those holy spirits formed a combined force and pushed Nevins out of the cabin before he could ever realized that. Sister Mary Eunice the fanned the air with her wings and immdiately flew out, looking at Nevins below her.''
 * LgThe_Adams_(Rebuild).png'Sister Mary Eunice:' Brothers, sisters, do me a favor!

''Suddenly, Nevins swung his arm and then disappeared in just one second. All of a sudden, the cloud had filled the sky and it soon started to snow.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: You are no match for me, but I warn you, if you ever come back here...

''Sister Mary Eunice looked at the place where Nevins still stood as the holy spirits behind her disappeared. Then, she slowly returned to her nun form. Now, her face was full of confusion.''

Suddenly, Sister Mary Eunice heard a familiar voice coming beside her, shouting at her.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: (think) * Why is he disappeared quite so suddenly? What is he planning? *

​Sister Mary Eunice immediately turned back and saw the Tweedles were running towards her.
 * Tweedledee: SISTER!

​Tweedledee immediately stopped in front of Sister Mary Eunice and started to breath, but Tweedledum who came behind him ha accidentally hit his brother, and both of them had fell their own faces on the ground.
 * Tweedledee: SISTER! SOMETHING IS WRONG!

''Sister Mary Eunice immediately helped them to get up as soon as possible. She then looked at them with great distraught on her face.''

Sister Mary Eunice immediately startled.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Calm down, and I need you to tell me what happened.
 * Tweedledee: We saw Crane and Abbie in a vehicle not far away, but it was out of control and somehow ran in a wild speed!

''With her words ended, Sister Mary Eunice immediately turned to her angel form and grabbed the arms of the Tweedles with each of her hand, dragging them on the air and flew towards the area like a speed of quick wind. The Tweedles were both shocked and dizzy.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: NO! We must save him, be fast!
 * Tweedledum: But how can we arrive there on time?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Like this.

Sister Mary Eunice narrowed her eyes and she ignored Tweedledum's complaint.
 * Tweedledum: Hey, why can't you just slow down a bit?


 * Sister Mary Eunice: (think) Ichabod, Abbie, hold on... I am coming for you.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes ago

<p style="text-align:center;"> Corridor of Van Bilj Residence

Hearing the voice, Abbie leaned forward at the wall and heard Colin talking in the room.

''​Then, Abbie heard a female voice which sounded like a soparno. She deduced that it was the voice of Christine Van Bilj herself.''
 * Colin: I am sorry, Christine... I was so incompetent... I ashamed our family name.

All of a sudden, ​Colin then tried to make his angry sister to relax while behaving like a total masoquist.
 * Christine: Do I care? The Master would have kill us if we failed to capture those two... Two Witnesses!

Abbie then heard ​Christine responded in a dissatisfying tone.
 * Colin: Don't worry, Christine... I can do anything for you. Once I capture them, I will make you the mistress of this family before I find a good husband for you.

 Then, Christine sighed and her voice seemed to relent some more.
 * Christine: A husband? So what?
 * Colin: You can order him to do whatever you want, chasing him and hitting him with a frying pan. You can order him as you want, just like how you order me!

''Hearing this, Abbie clenched her fist when she heard about the death of August Corbin. She realized that Ichabod was right all along. This mysterious woman was in league with the Headless Horseman, the mad killer directly responsible for Abbie's beloved mentor.''
 * Christine: Very well, and I have been waited for this day. Every day, there are people die and the difference only lies in a matter of time. Even the poor old sheriff, August Corbin, could not escape his fate.

''Shivering in terror and anger, Abbie nearly roared out "YOU B***H!" in anger. Nevertheless, Abbie had controlled her feeling in order to avoid herself being discovered.''
 * Horseman11.pngAbbie: ......


 * Christine: Cheer up, brother. The world is soon to be ours, and we will take down Ichabod who betrayed his own country. Now, by the way...

''Then, Abbie heard Christine yawned as the latter continued her words in a lazy manner. Abbie walked closer to the window and through the window, she saw a tall woman with dark purple dress and long hair was inside the room.''



''However, oddly, she did not see Colin. Abbie at first thought she was not close enough.''

Trying to look clearer, Abbie narrowed her eyes and went closer to the window in order to find Colin as Christine was talking to her brother.
 * Christine: I wonder if Firenza's son is still alive, but I do hope he is. When he grew up, I think I will find him and make him into an experiment. I really love this era, with so many newly found technology that is... wonderful.
 * Colin: Yes, yes, sister, and please let me do the work. I will not fail you for the second time. I will take our sworn enemy's head to the Master.


 * Bill.Cipher.full.1946018.jpgChristine: Very well, dear brother, and yet it have no need to worry you for now. Huh, now I must prepare for the Witnesses' arrival. Even if they are now outside the door, I will snap their head from their neck so that I can feast on their own death. I will be---

''All of a sudden, as Abbie tried to get closer to see where Colin is, she accidentally knocked an empty china vase on a table beside her, and it fell on the floor, breaking itself apart. Christine turned her head which alarmed Abbie immediately.''

''Bellowed in rage, Christine turned back and walked to the window. However, Abbie had already retreated and hid herself behind a wall not far away. Christine surveyed the place and shrugged her shoulders.''
 * Christine: Who's there?!

Abbie could not hear more from Christine, and after some time of silence, it was apparent that they somehow left.
 * Christine: Maybe it was just mice. Never mind, I can fix that vase after all. Brother, please take a rest and allow me...

''Then, holding her gun in her hand, Abbie carefully walked towards the room. The door was closed. Looking at the door for some seconds, Abbie put her hand on the handle and carefully pushed it down.''


 * Abbie: Hmm...

''Before she opened the door, Abbie had already noticed some hand marks made of blood on the place. If that was made for shunning the evil outside, then it had no use at all. The true evil was inside the room.''

''Then, Abbie had the door opened very carefully. The door had opened and Abbie carefully walked inside the room. ''

''The room was empty, and it was very strange that two escaped all of a sudden. The room was decorated in luxury and its furnitures were so splendid that Abbie was stunned in awe. A portrait with the face of General William Howe was held high above a wall in front of her. Underneath the portrait, there was a large mirror. Abbie turned back to survey the room as now her back was facing the portrait.''



''Unbeknowest to Abbie, the mirror was the door of a secret tunnel. Its one side was a mirror, but its other side was apparently a simple glass. People in the room cannot see the tunnel through the mirror, but the people in the tunnel can see the room through their side of the glass. Christine was now inside the tunnel before she turned back. She immediately saw Abbie in her room.''

''Christine then turned back and walked to the mirror before she opened it with sheer rage. Abbie was still surveyed the room when she found a ruby ring on the table. She picked the ring up and then observed it. It had a silver cresent drawn on it.''
 * Christine: Well, I know there are intruders.

''Abbie immediately turned back and saw Christine was not far away, snaring at her with fit of rage. Then, Christine's eyes widened and a smile was worn on her face.''
 * Christine: Put it down and I will give you a mercy death.



<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Christine: So, looks like it is my lucky day. Now, finally we meet, Abigail Mills. My name is Christine Van Bilj, and I am the daughter of Caspar Van Bilj! On behalf of my brother, I will now say goodbye!'

Act 5 (final) - Crisis
​Abbie immediately raised her gun and pointed to Christine, who loooked at her with scorn.

Then, Christine's lips twitched in anger when she heard Abbie scholding her and her own brother.
 * Abbie: You are the one who caused those suicides and summoned the evil coven. How do you know my name?
 * Christine: That is not important. In fact, you should know that Death itself never conquered me, and I revived. My only aim is to make this world bow in front of me.
 * 218Ichabod.pngAbbie: Crane is right about you. You and your brother are two sick psychopaths!

''Just as Christine and Abbie were arguing, Ichabod opened the door. He heard the vase breaking not far away and immediately went towards the scene. He had just got there.''
 * Christine: No, I won't allow you to humiliate my dear brother. No one dares to do that!

''Ichabod's words stopped as soon as he saw his bitter enemy, Christine, alive and well. Upon seeing Ichabod entering the room, Christine smiled and crossed her arm in pure satisfaction.''
 * Ichabod: Lieutenant, are you... all right?

​Christine let out an malevolent grin.
 * Christine: Good evening, Crane. Do you miss me after so many years had past?
 * Ichabod: Christine? You are alive?
 * Christine: Rumors of my demise has been... not exagratted.

When talking like an arrogant egomaniac, Christine aimed Ichabod and tried to fire a shot at Ichabod's head but suddenly, Abbie punched Christine's face and kicked her wrist.
 * Essex_hill_tunnel3.jpgChristine: Even someone like you could come back from death, then I can achieve it as well!

In this sudden surprise attack, Christine dropped her rifle and immediately stepped back.

''Yelling in pain, Christine had to drop her rifle and escape, and she immediately went into the mirror and ran into the tunnel. Ichabod and Abbie looked at each other with confusion.''
 * Christine: Ouch!

However, ​Ichabod immediately went towards the mirror and pushed it, making it opened, much to Abbie's shock.
 * Ichabod: It is strange. Christine should not be someone like that.
 * Abbie: Maybe she is trying to lure us into some sort of trap. We must leave her alone.

Ichabod had already reached into the tunnel.
 * Ichabod: No, we must find out what she is planning!
 * Abbie: Don't you think that it was merely a trap set up by her all along? Or she might just run away?

''​Without any choice, the two had to go into the secret tunnel and ran through it. After five minutes of running within this long tunnel, Ichabod saw another glass door not far away, right before he stopped in front of it. Then, he and Abbie looked at each other before they start pushing the door open.''
 * Ichabod: No.

''Then, it revealed another room, with a large desk on the right side of the room, and the desk was under a large mirror on the wall. There was another door in the room which leads to unknown. Ichabod and Abbie surveyed the place, but then, Ichabod noticed a paper on the desk. He then walked closer and closer to see what it was.''

''To his surprise, it was a letter on the table. Ichabod picked up the paper and looked at it.''

The two then start to look at the letter very carefully, and the words had shocked them.
 * Abbie: Crane? What is it?
 * Ichabod: You need to read this.

 My most respected Master, 

' The time has come. Serilda did not die, or more precisely, every townspeople in Sleepy Hollow are currently expanding her life span. Those townspeople began to be infected by her bone dusts... and every piles of bone dusts of her minions. It was all because of the explosion. Tonight, we will ALL become Serilda. '

' The only thing to avoid this is to make the golden light shone upon those townspeople' body, and that is how Betsy Ross' flag worked. Sewing golden lines on its stars will help in reflecting the light of dawn upon the possessed people. '

' I had found the flag but I was unable to burn it down. It is indestructable. Don't worry, Master. I had hid it in my secret facility. A snowstorm is coming, and I don't think there will be sunlight in the next couple of days. Combined with the power of the Horseman of Death, we will conquer this entire town and slaughter everyone in the place, and Ichabod Crane will be your own prisoner. '

' Soon, our time will come. I will wash down the shame in the Battle of Delaware. Crane was fortunate that he did not participate the battle or I will make my followers to kill him with dark magic. I believe if it was not because of Katrina, Washington will make Ichabod to participate the battle. '

<p style="text-align:right;"> Colin Van Bilj 

''Seeing this, Ichabod was shocked by the words. Then, he began to realized that the true reason why Washington did not make him to participate the battle.''

''​Christine and Ichabod looked at each other with surprise. Just then, right above a closet behind them, Colin held his rifle and lurked on the place. Then, before Abbie and Ichabod could could continue that discussing, Colin jumped down from the closet and hit the head of Ichabod.''
 * Ichabod: The Hessians was secretly assisted by Christine Van Bilj, and it was somehow acknowledged by Katrina. Therefore, Katrina protected me by avoiding me in charge, and Betsy sewed the flag with golden stripes to help Washington from the dark spells casted by Christine.

''​Before Colin could finish, Abbie saw a large frying pan on the table and she immediately grabbed it to hit Colin. "BANG!" Colin was hit at his head and immediately bumped himself on the table, before he looked up... and saw himself in the mirror.''
 * 201703231221.pngColin: You bullied my sister, right? Weren't you!? Crane, when I first met you, I felt that you are anything but--

''In the mirror, Colin found his face was covered with ladies' make up and he was now looking like a woman... and his face as same as the face of Christine's!''
 * Colin: This face... Is this my face? WHY AM I LOOKING LIKE THIS?!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Colin: Ahh... Ahh.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! '

Screaming at the combined voice of himself and Christine, Colin covered his face and immediately ran away from the door like a quick wind.

''Ichabod and Abbie was too shocked that the could not stop Colin in time. When they realized that, Colin had already escaped. Ichabod and Abbie then turned to see the wig on ''

''Shocked, Abbie immediately picked up the wig and looked at it with full of surprise. It was a wig of bright color, and it was very much alike... to the hair of Christine. Then, everything was clear.''' Christine never revived. It was Colin who was playing her all along with even realizing it.'
 * Ichabod: So this wig is for...

Then, Abbie remembered the life-sized doll of Christine in the living room before she saw another living doll like Colin in this room as well.
 * Ichabod: So Colin was playing two roles all by himself...

''Ichabod and Abbie looked at each other with surprise. In helplessness, Abbie lowered her head and sighed. Ichabod deduced the true reason.''
 * Abbie: Uh, you mean that guy has a split personality? Why did he portray his own sister?

''Just then, Ichabod noticed a key on the table and he picked it up. Abbie took a closer look at it.''
 * Ichabod: He could not bear the fact that his sister was dead...

''Then, Ichabod and Abbie immediately rushed to find the exit, and Colin seemed to vanish without a trace, which is absolutely strange. It took not long before they walked down the hall, but then...''
 * Abbie: That must be Colin's car key. I saw him holding it. All we need to do is getting into the parking lot.
 * WhiteCreature.jpgIchabod: Very well. Now, let's go.

''Abbie was shocked to se what was coming towards them. It was a horrid white creature that was formed like something that made of white worms, and Ichabod had the same reaction when he saw that creature. The creature was glaring at them as Ichabod narrowed his eyes.''
 * ???: ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!

''The monster then opened its claw and ran towards Ichabod as Abbie tried to shoot at it. The gunshot immediately caught the attention of this monster as it ultimately turned his head and tried to ran towards Abbie.'' Abbie, however, showed it the silver crucifix given to her by Sister Mary Eunice which could be use if situation needed.
 * Ichabod: It looks like Christine had built that whitish monster in her project.

Then, as soon as Abbie showed the crucifix to the monster, the monster immediately stopped right in front of her.
 * Abbie: Stay away!

Seeing the monster itself start trembling and stepped back, Abbie smiled confidently.
 * 314Promo11.jpgIchabod: Lieutenant...

The monster roared in sheer pain as it stepped back and started to shake his head, completely falling into the feeling given to it bythe power of saints. However, just as Abbie was about to shoot down the weakened monster, the monster itself started to speak, and it shocked Ichabod as well as Abbie...
 * Abbie: Believe me, this is not the craziest thing I have ever endure during those days full of so many surprises.

''The creature was speaking words slowly one by one and it did not make any sense to Ichabod and Abbie. Ichabod paid attention immediately when he heard the name, "Betsy."''
 * Tumblr_mmezj3k5wJ1r6ywj8o7_500.gifCreature: Me... I... Betsy... Won't... Me...

''Suddenly, chunks of debris that were out of nowhere fell down. Ichabod and Abbie immediately ran out of the door when they heard the creature shouting again.''
 * Abbie: What the hell?
 * Ichabod: It's trying to tell us something...

While talking, the creature had its eyes twitching and its face started to turn more human-like, but before it could finish its words, the falling stones had buried it underneath a pile of rocks, silencing it.
 * The_evil_by_thornspine-d9eh36q.jpgCreature: Help... Ichabod... Am... It... Let... Go...

''The illusion woods disappeared as well and it turned into a collapsing hall. Ichabod was shocked by this as he tried to figure out the connection between this creature and Betsy Ross.''

Ichabod and Abbie looked at the scene where the monster once stood, and Abbie bit her lips as she looked at the debris that buried the monster.
 * Ichabod: What happened?

Ichabod and Abbie immediately ran towards the parking lot beside the house, unknowing what would Colin do under such circumstances.
 * Abbie: It must be Colin. He wants to bury us alive. We must hurry.

''Behind them, a taloned white hand came out of the debris... and that hand belonged to the creature. It was not crushed by the rocks.''
 * Abbie: Anyway, damn, I should have shot him down when we had the chance...

Turns out it was still alive.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Parking lot  After they are out of danger, Ichabod and Abbie went towards the parking lot and start searching for the car, and then Abbie had spoofed a black vehicle in the parking lot.

''The problem was that the car was 10 meters far away from them. Immeidately, Abbie turned back to yell to Ichabod.''


 * Abbie: Crane! I think this is the car we are now looking for!

To Abbie's surprise, however, Ichabod did not move to the vehicle immediately.

Abbie immediately turned back and grabbed Ichabod's wrist.
 * Ichabod: Lieutenant, I feel there is something strange. It was like someone was following us.

''Then, Ichabod had nothing else to chosse but to obey Abbie's instruction. They then ran towards the car.''
 * Abbie: There is no time for this. We must leave this place as soon as possible, Crane.

''However, unknown to them both, Ichabod was right. Not far away from the parking lot, behind the tree, a woman dressed in black was looking at them with no emotions on her face. She was observing the two Witnesses.''

One second later, however, she smirked calmly.


 * Pandora: Hmm... I know one day you will lead me to the truth.

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

''On the car, Abbie drove the car as the car started to leave away from Colin's dreadful house. Abbie sighed in relief and smiled. Ichabod, however, fell into thoughts.''

''Abbie then turned to Ichabod before noticing Ichabod fell into deep thoughts. She was a bit of confused.'' ​Abbie made a funny face, showing that she did not fancy this theory.
 * Abbie: Now, we are finally freed. Then, we will settle for a day before wefind the original flag that Betsy Ross sewed, in order to get rid of this nightmare once and for all.
 * Abbie: Crane?
 * Ichabod: Ms. Mills, I suspect that the monster was trying to tell us something about Betsy... and I find those two sentence... rather connected.

Hearing this, Ichabod was quite amazed and his eyes widened.
 * Abbie: I thought it was merely babbling something nonsence, but... in the name of Corbin, I managed to take the recording of the voice immediately when it began to talk, in two different audios.

Abbie then revealed something that looked like a pen.
 * Ichabod: How did you do this in such a short time?

Then, Abbie started to play the recording. ''Abbie stopped the audio tape and take it out. Then, she opened the second recorder.''
 * Abbie: I have got two recorders on myself, and I think somethings you just need to be creative.
 * Creature: (voice) [Me... I... Betsy... Won't... Me...]

Then, the two heard the contents of the second tape.
 * Abbie_Mills.pngAbbie: Here is the second one.

''Ichabod looked at the recorders carefully. He was curious about this small device that can record voices and palyed them.''
 * Creature: (voice) [Help... Ichabod... Am... It... Let... Go...]

Suddenly, Ichabod's eyes widened and immediately turned to look at Abbie.
 * Ichabod: That is interesting.

''​Abbie looked at Ichabod with quite a shock. She then saw Ichabod grabbed the two recorders in his hands.''
 * Ichabod: I have an idea... We play those two... audio recordings at the same time.
 * 306Betsy.pngAbbie: What?

​Abbie looked at Ichabod, and she wondered how many surprising movements of his had witnessed by her.
 * Ichabod: You say that the tapes might have hidden messages coming from that monster, but I think we cannot get the outcome we want from merely one of them. It mentioned Betsy, and I need to comfirm that if it is connected to her.
 * Abbie: So you want two of them playing together?
 * Ichabod: Lt. Mills, it is very worth trying.

''While speaking, Ichabod then opened the two recorders at the same time... Then, instead of some chaotic and senseless words, the two Witnesses heard a complete sentence.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Creature: (voice) [Help me, Ichabod! I am Betsy! It won't let me go!]'

Ichabod and Abbie were both shocked by the words and they looked at each other.

''​Suddenly, the car immediately ran out of control and started to ride in an accelerate speed. Abbie were shocked by this, and so was Ichabod.''
 * Ichabod: Betsy?
 * Ichabod: What did you do?
 * Abbie: I did not do anything! It lost control!

<p style="text-align:center;"> Colin's resisdence  ''Meanwhile, at the top floor of Colin's residence, Colin looked at the car far away losing its control and smiled. Turned out that he bewitched his car and made it lose control. It would soon crash into the forest and killing both of people on the car, Colin believed.''


 * Colin: Everything is going on according to the plan. They took my car... which could only bring more entertainment! Now, I will make them feel the true terror...

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

''On the car (which had drove at a speed of 90km/h), Ichabod and Abbie tried to stop it by holding the control panel, but turned out it never worked. Abbie stepped on the break and it won't work as well.''

''The car passed the Tweedles who were wandering on the pavement very near to Corbin's cabin, and they recognized the people on the car were Ichabod and Abbie. Knowing something was terribly wrong, the Tweedles immediately went for Sister Mary Eunice to seek help.''

''One minute before the crash, the car went straight out of the road and start running itself into the forest. As Ichabod and Abbie struggled themselves before the car crashed into a tree, a white light shone above them, and half a second later, they disappeared suddenly.''

''The crazy car went right into the forest, faster, faster and fatser... until three seconds after the white light's occuring, it finally stopped after hitting a tree. The fuel inside the car was ignited, causing an explosion...''



<p style="text-align:center;"> [BOOOOOOOOOM!!!]

<p style="text-align:center;"> Pandora's lair  Coming back from the town, Pandora walked back into the secret lair of hers, and soon she walked towards the water pool inside her house, while summoning her box on the table in just one second.

Pandora then walked towards the pool while seeing Ichabod dying from Colin Van Bilj's influence.
 * Pandora: One for sorrow, two for mirth. Three for a wedding and four for a birth.


 * Pandora: Five for silver, six for gold. Seven for a secret... not to be told.

Pandora smirked deviously before returning to a serious expression when she saw the feared face of the citizens haunted by dark witches.

Pandora then use a bowl for containing some water before sprinkling them on her tree behind her; the tree of fear.
 * Pandora: So afraid... yet they have no idea... just how powerful their fear can be... but I know... and I want more.

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

While standing in the cold wind coming straight towards him, Ichabod felt that he was about to fell into somewhere deep and dark.

Surrounded by greyish mist, he spent some little bit of time and looked straight forward. ''Suddenly, the mist disappeared and soon he saw a familiar figure standing not far away from him, the woman he had been missing for 232 years... Katrina Anne Van Tassel, now known as Katrina Crane.''

''Katrina was surprised when she saw Ichabod. Her eyes widened in surprise.''
 * Sleepy-Hollow-Katrina-.jpgIchabod: Katrina?

As a response, Ichabod walked closer to his wife and they shared a kiss, the first kiss ever since his death in 232 years ago.
 * Katrina: Ichabod? Are you really here?

After that, Katrina looked at her husband with great concern before she spoke out.

''Ichabod shook his head. He immediately recognized the woods surrounding him. It was exactly the place where Katrina summoned him to.''
 * Katrina: You're not well.
 * Ichabod: How did you know?
 * Katrina: Because you're here.

Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Crossover - The Corbin Files - Chapitre Onze  <p style="text-align:center;"> Ichabod's sick ward 

''At this time, when the morning dawn started to pour into Ichabod's cell, he was awakened by the noise of flying birds. He then saw the bird which he recognized as the one that led him to the tombstone. The bird then flew into a mirror beside him and instantly disappeared.''

''Ichabod stood up with sheer curiosity as he walked closer to the mirror. To his surprise, he saw a familiar face in the mirror - Katrina Crane.''

A minute later, Ichabod appeared into the world within the mirror, and soon he and Katrina met face to face for the first time in 232 years.
 * Ichabod: Katrina?

Ichabod had so many things that he wanted to ask Katrina, and he looked at her as if she was a stranger.
 * Katrina: Forgive me, my love. This is the only way I can reach you. I've been trying to lead you. However, I could only contact a spiritual nun and some people from future to help you in many ways. Now, finally, we met again.
 * Ichabod: The gravestone...
 * Katrina: My body was never buried in that grave. It hides the true location of the Horseman's skull, guarded throughout time by one of my coven.

''Ichabod suddenly realized that the gravestone was a ruse to conceal the head of Horseman. He then remembered Knapp who was not a stranger to him.''

Ichabod was a bit shocked hearing all of this.
 * Ichabod: You mean Knapp?
 * Katrina-crane-gallery.jpgna: Yes, and when you wounded the Horseman, your bloodlines merged. You became linked, bound together by blood. The only way to stop him was to cast a spell on you both. Then, we entombed the Horseman's body deep below the river. We buried you in that cave to protect you.
 * Ichabod: Then you didn't awaken me.
 * Katrina: It's the Horseman who's been awakened, Ichabod... and you along with him.

''​Suddenly, Ichabod and Katrina heard a bellow not far away. Katrina's face went pale.'' ​The wind started to blow and Katrina's tone became tenser and quicker. ''​Ichabod attempted to walk closer to his wife but a strong force had dragged him back. Katrina shouted louder as the wind blow harsher.'' ''Suddenly, a roar had appeared and Ichaod turned back as he saw Moloch's shadow. Moloch leaned forward to grab Ichabod's arm with his claw.''
 * 39908_katia-winter-interpreta-katrina-crane-sleepy-hollow.jpgIchabod: How? By who?
 * Katrina: By the same evil that's trapped me here, the very one that controls the Horseman now.
 * Katrina: It's found us. There isn't time. If the Horseman reclaims his skull, he will become whole again. Three more will follow and "it" will begin.
 * Ichabod: What will begin?
 * Katrina: The END. You must work with Abbie Mills and Katarina Couteau to stop the Horseman from retrieving his skull, and defeat the Anti-Christ that came from future! Remember, light is the Horseman's weakness, he can't survive the sunrise. Find me, please. Free me from this place!
 * Ichabod: How? I don't understand.
 * Katrina: The answers are in Washington's Bible. YOU ARE THE  FIRST WITNESS, ICHABOD!
 * Ichabod: Katrina!
 * Katrina: Now, please, wake up!
 * Ichabod: KATRINA, WAIT!


 * Katrina: WAKE UP! FIND THE SKULL!

​Nowadays
With surprise, Ichabod looked at his wife in the eyes. Katrina sighed and shook her head.
 * 105Promo11.jpgIchabod: I've been here before.

''Ichabod's eyes widened. He then noticed several strange shadows wandering in the woods not far away.''
 * Katrina: Only when I summoned you. I've... I've not been able to for some time. If you are here in any other way... it means you are dead... or near to it.

''Ichabod looked aside to see those wandering shadows once again. Horror started to rise on his face.'' ​Ichabod was shocked hearing all of this. ''Katrina was too afraid to speak Moloch's name since he trapped her for almost 232 years. Seeing his wife's sad face, Ichabod had too much questions in his mind that he felt obliged to ask them.''
 * Katrina: You must understand. It's only under great duress you would find yourself here.
 * Ichabod: I am not well. I did not realize how critically. Serilda's remaining power still exists... and many more are dying because of Van Bilj.
 * 113Purgatory.pngKatrina: And I fear you will, too. Ichabod, this place I've been trapped in, it's Purgatory.
 * Ichabod: Purgatory?
 * Ichabod: Then those are...
 * Katrina: Souls... who've been collected here. We're all trapped together, and yet very much apart. Those there are moving on.
 * Sleepy-hollow-moloch.jpgIchabod: To where?
 * Katrina: To wherever "he" determines...
 * Ichabod: He?
 * Katrina: The beast who keeps me captive.

''Katrina closed her eyes and tears start streaming down her face. She did not answer.'' ''Ichabod looked at Katrina with a serious expression. In the past, she kept hiding things apart from him in order to keep him safe. She was a spy of Washington, she was a witch, she caused the death of Mary Wells... and perhaps many more. However, Ichabod knew that it was not the time to hide any secrets.''
 * Ichabod: Why would you be trapped in such a place? What does that "beast" want with your soul?
 * Ichabod: Katrina... what is it you're not telling me?''Katrina5.jpg

As a response, Katrina slowly opened her eyes. ''Before Ichabod could finish his word, he was dragged away suddenly from Katrina. Katrina saw this and yelled in sheer desperation.''
 * Ichabod: What is it you're afraid to say?
 * Katrina: I believe I know why I am here... and why I cannot leave...
 * Ichabod: Why? Tell me.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Katrina: ICHABOD!!! '

''Ichabod kept breathing and shivering before he looked back for a while. Far away, he saw a diablolical shadow, the same shadow he saw in his last dream. It was none other than Moloch. Ichabod was slowly being dragged to Moloch as the mist appeared again, blocking his eyesight. He could only heard Katrina's screaming''


 * Katrina: YOU FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE! YOU FIGHT BOTH OF US!!! YOU FIGHT FOR HUMANITY!

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Ichabod: (!!!) 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Outside a building  ''Ichabod's eyes widened and opened as he awoke suddenly from horror. In the blurry sight, he saw a blurry face and heard someone talking to him in a low and gentle voice.''


 * Sister Mary Eunice: Try not to move. You'll be in terrible pain.

Ichabod finally saw the face of Sister Mary Eunice clearer as she continued.


 * Sister Mary Eunice: You two have got the quite the advanture. The car accident was horrific. I'm afraid it was fatal for the driver... but you and Abbie are safe now... Looks like I was not too late. You need a rest so that you can tell me what happened later.

Ichabod went silent and closed his eyes once again.


 * Ichabod: Thank you... Sister...

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


 * Sister Mary Eunice: (narrator) The car that Ichabod and Abbie took had lost its control and crashed near the Hudson River, and if I did not interfere to save them, they would soon found themselves near the site of once an abandoned facility, a forgotten game site that was yet just another one of Christine's playground... and we are all in it...

MAD - Star and Co-star (Homage) - PART 2
<p style="text-align:center;"> A homage of an old comedy drama

<p style="text-align:center;"> From 1982 CCTV Spring Festival Gala

<p style="text-align:center;"> Formerly portrayed by Chen Peisi & Zhu Shimao

<p style="text-align:center;"> With Acqua of the Back as the "star" (the role of Zhu Shimao)

<p style="text-align:center;"> And Terra of the Left as the "co-star" (the role of Chen Peisi)

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

<p style="text-align:center;"> Part 2 of 2

<p style="text-align:center;"> Despair Arc spoilers ahead...

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Terra: I QUIT!

''Enraged, Terra immediately sat on the bench not far away, in an angry face. Acqua looked at him and fell in silence.'' Then, Acqua helplessly sighed.
 * Terra:I quit!

"......"
 * Acqua&Terra_2.pngAcqua: I know you are upset.
 * Terra: I am NOT upset! Hehe, (faked giggling) I am not!

"......"
 * Acqua: I know you don't want to play a part of co-star.
 * Terra: I've been a co-star for more than 10 years, I tell you this.

Acqua the shrugged his shoulder before he went forward with a serious look.
 * Acqua: I know you want to be a star.
 * Terra: Duh, that is obvious!
 * Acqua: Huh?
 * Terra: I mean OBVIOUSLY NOT!

Hearing this, Terra merely scoffed.
 * Acqua: However, not everyone could being a star in every roles.
 * Terra: Well, I have to disagree. That sounds ridiculous.
 * Acqua: Everyone had their own advantages and disavantages. For example, you are lack of advantages to play a character like me.

''Acqua was deeply surprised when he heard Terra. His deduce was correct. Terra wanted to play the starring role.''
 * Terra: You mean I can't play a character like you? You think I don't understand?
 * Acqua: Understand what?
 * Terra: The characters' differences are all in their suit, and if I wear your suit...
 * Acqua: Hmmm?
 * Terra: I'll be a hero much better than you in this story!



<p style="text-align:center;">' - Acqua: What did you say?! You want to be a hero? '



Terra smiled triumphly.

​Terra then turned to the entire group of audience.
 * Terra: I can be a hero if you like!
 * Acqua: I don't think the audience here shall approve it.
 * Terra: Wait and see!

''​Acqua was so shocked that it even made him speechless... or almost speechless.''
 * Terra: Do you approve my request?
 * Audience: YEEEEEEEES!!!!

​Then, Terra and Acqua started to exchange their coat.
 * Acqua: Hey, hey, hey! Don't you arouse the masses to do such an action!
 * Terra: I did not arouse the masses. The masses had their best point!
 * Acqua: Very well, since everyone here agreed, then I will allow you to portray a hero just this time.
 * Terra: Seriously? How wonderful!

​As Terra was changing, Acqua had already put on Terra's coat and cloak, and after giving Terra his empty gun, he turned to the audience.
 * Acqua: Well, now allow me to show if how I portray a supporting role.
 * Terra&Acqua.pngTerra: No, no, not today. Today is for me to show you if I can deal with a major role.

​Then, Acqua pointed to Terra.
 * Acqua: Just take a look at me. For someone like me, even if he dressed up in a coat like this, he would be like an agent working for the peace seekers.

''​After that, Terra dressed up in Acqua's suit and stood with arms akimbo. He gleefully chuckled at Acqua, making the latter quite confused.''
 * Acqua: Then, please take a look at this guy. He is utterly like a spy who snuck into our army!

​Terra started to pat Acqua's shoulder with a grin, and Acqua almost immediately stay away from him in annoyance.
 * Acqua: What is the meaning of this?

''​Terra turned back and start walking off the stage... before suddenly, he stopped and looked at his own cloth in surprise. Then, he turned back to Acqua once again and pointed at the side of the stage.''
 * Terra: Brat...
 * Acqua: Leave me! I am no brat! I mean -- are you ready?
 * Terra: Yes, I am!
 * Acqua: Good, and now dismissed.

​Acqua pushed Terra onto the stage before he left.
 * Terra_profile.jpgAcqua: What?
 * Terra: YOU're dismissed!
 * Acqua: You...
 * Terra: Now, I am the lead!

​Terra attempted to take out the gun which he had just received from Acqua.
 * Acqua: Hey, get back! Get back!
 * Terra: How can a traitor being so hubristic? Duh!

​Acqua left the stage for a while and Terra stood at the front and center, out and proud.
 * Terra: I said you're dismissed!
 * Acqua: Well, such insolence.

<p style="text-align:center;">'​ - Terra: Ready? Action! '

Acqua then ran towards Terra, who tried to pull out gun but it was stuck in its holster.

"......"​
 * Acqua: Don't shoot!
 * Terra: Stay away!
 * Acqua: Don't shoot! Please don't shoot! Just look closer, it is---
 * Terra: How do you pull this damn gun out, anyway!?

''Acqua was bemused but he soon returned back to his normal state. Then, Acqua went to Terra before pushing a button on the leather holster. The lit of the holster opened on its own.''



''Seeing this, Terra was both surprised and glad. He then close the lit and push the button again to open it. He closed the lit again and repeated his previous acts, over and over again.''

Look at this sacarstically, Acqua was not amused, not amused at all.

​Terra suddenly realized that Acqua was using sarcasm mode, and he turned serious once again and pushed Terra towards the side of the stage.
 * Acqua: This is fun, right?
 * Terra: Yes.
 * Acqua: You know how to have this fun now?
 * Terra: Yes?
 * Acqua: Have you ever get this fun before!?

​Terra was bemused before Acqua ran back to the stage.
 * Terra: What are you talking about? Go! Just go!
 * Acqua: Okay, now action!
 * Terra: Action?

​Acqua was bemused again and so he stopped.
 * Acqua: Terra! Terra! Don't shoot!
 * Terra: It is not the time to start!


 * Acqua: It's not started?
 * Terra: No, it's not.

​Acqua blinked his eyes in sheer confusion.

''​Acqua was even more shocked and bemused. Terra grinned wickedly in pride.''
 * Acqua: But it starts immediately in this spot when I was the lead.
 * Terra: Now, it is I who is the lead! You know that?
 * Acqua: Then, when should I make my appearance?
 * Terra: That is none of my business.
 * Acqua: How could you!
 * Terra: Well, well, you can wait for me to make some poses onstage!

​Acqua then left the stage for a while.
 * Acqua: Ah? Poses?!
 * Terra: I need to have... my moment with a crowning glory of awesome!
 * Acqua: A crowning glory with such a face?
 * Terra: Don't you believe me?
 * Acqua: So, after your so-called crowning moment, I will have my presence. Is that right?
 * Terra: Yes!
 * Acqua: Very well. Whatever you say.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Terra: Now, action! '



''After that, Terra started to show his crowning moment. First, he walked towards the right in a funny way of walking, not long before he raised his left hand and screamed with pride.''

​Acqua thought it was the time and he ran towards Terra, but he was bemused when he realized that Terra was still posing on stage, not done yet.
 * Terra: My COOOOOOOOOOOOMRADES!!!

​Fraustrated, Acqua attempted to leave but Terra called him.
 * Terra: Stoicism equals victory! Our beloved people and family is waiting for the news of our triumphant! Hold still! HOOOOOOOLD STILL!
 * Acqua&Terra_2.pngAcqua: What in the world is going on here?

​Acqua then returned back to the stage, running towards Terra.
 * Terra: Hey! It's your turn!

​Terra then take a closer look to Acqua with a pair of wicked eyes.
 * Acqua: Terra, don't shoot!
 * Terra: Who is that?
 * Acqua: Terra, don't shoot! It is me!

​Acqua was shocked to find that Terra had made a mistake but he did not want to correct it since he did not want to waste any time.
 * Terra: Oh... It is you, wretch. Tell me... Did you brought those Ultimate Detectives---
 * Junko_Enoshima.pngAcqua: What!?
 * Terra: I mean, did you brought those Ultimate Despair scums on this hill?
 * Acqua: Those Ultimate Despair scums wanted me to send you a message.
 * Terra: What did Junko-sama said?
 * Acqua: AH!?

''​Terra immediately bounced up in anger... before he looked at Acqua as if he wanted to be pitiful, much to Acqua's shock.''
 * Acqua: Those Despair scums just want you to give yourself in and surrender...
 * Terra: Hey!

​"......"
 * Terra: I forgot my next line.
 * Acqua: "In your dreams!"
 * Terra: All right... In your... DREAMS!

​Terra begged for reminding once again, much to Acqua's shock and dismay.
 * [[File:-animepaper.net-picture-standard-anime-trinity-blood-alessandro-156708-welyn-preview-fa36cbdb.jpg|thumb|300px]]Terra: What next!?

​"......"
 * Acqua: Aw... "You damned turncoat!"
 * Terra: YOU'RE that damned turncoat!
 * Acqua: No, I meant the line. "You damned turncoat" is your next line.
 * Terra: All right... You damned... TURNCOAT!

"......"
 * Terra: At first I only thought only someone who is as ugly as I am shall become the traitor. However, I can never ever expected that even someone so handsome like you, Acqua of the back, DARED TO BETRAY THE CHURCH AS WELL!!!

(- Michael Langdon: [inside Vatican] AH-CHOO! Is there anyone who spoke bad things behind me? I know there is!)

"......"



''Terra added those words all of a sudden, making Acqua very shocked and angered. ​Aqcua could not bear it anymore and he covered his face with his palm.''

​Then, Acqua turned back his head to face Acqua.
 * Acqua: WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS PIECE OF SAD TRASH!?

''​Acqua was surprised to hear that. In fact, there was a line after that, and it was Acqua's turn to forget the lines.''
 * Acqua: Junko wants you to surrender! That's all!
 * Terra: No, there was something after that!

​Smiling greedily, Terra immediately showed a gesture of counting money to Acqua.
 * Acqua: There are still lines?
 * Terra: Indeed, and did you remember it?
 * Acqua: I fail to see what you meant.
 * Terra: There are more lines!
 * Acqua: No, there aren't!
 * Terra: I ask you...
 * Acqua: Yes?


 * Terra: Are there any... rewards from her?

''​Acqua was driven to the point of fraustration at last. He shrugged his shoulder helplessly.''

''​Acqua was both shocked and dismayed even more. His jaw nearly dropped on the ground.''
 * Acqua: There are no rewards!
 * Terra: Impossible! If there was no rewards, there would be no surrender!


 * Acqua: WHAT KIND OF HERO ARE YOU!?
 * Terra: Oh, I can see why.
 * Acqua: Huh?
 * Terra: After all these times, I came to realized that you took Junko's reward for me... as some sort of KICKBACKS!

''Terra immediately took his gun out of his holster and pointed its gunpoint at Acqua. Acqua was panicked, and his eyes widened.''

Acting like a supporting villain once again instead of a heroic protagonist, Terra smiled wickedly as he continued to push Acqua.
 * Acqua: Kickbacks!?
 * Terra: Tell me! Are there kickbacks or not?
 * Acqua: No, there are no kickbacks!


 * Terra: Don't you pretend to be a fool in front of me, Acqua of the Back!

Terra pointed his gun under Acqua's chin, threatening him without realizing that he was slipping back into his original role as a villain.

​Acqua was alarmed as Terra smiled deviously before slipping into his role as a co-starring villain.
 * Terra: You think I don't understand? Junko told me everything!
 * Acqua: What did she told you?

​Stepping his left foot and interrupted Terra's temptation, Acqua was enraged and he bounced in rage.
 * Terra: She just want me to send you a mild message.
 * Enoshima_junko_desu_by_lightning_strikes-d6yw6xx.jpgAcqua: What message?
 * Terra: She wanted you to surrender to the Ultimate Despair. After that, you will be granted with wealth and glory, surrounded by treasure and gold for the rest of your days---

''​Acqua tried to get his gun on his belt but he found out it was not here. Seeing this, Terra then presented  his Acqua's gun to the latter almost immediately.''
 * Acqua: In your dreams! You damned traitor!
 * Terra: Acqua...
 * Acqua: In the name of people...
 * Terra: I cannot have another choice...
 * Guns-high-definition_095232236_213.jpgAcqua: ... in the name of justice, I will sentence you...

​Acqua then raised his gun and pointed at Terra.
 * Terra: Here...
 * Acqua: Thank you!

​Terra immediately covered his chest with his hands after Acqua spoke that "BANG".
 * Acqua: I will sentence you death! BANG!!!

''​Terra was "shot" twice and he spun at his place, almost falling on the ground... when suddenly, he realized that something went terribly wrong...''
 * Terra: A-Acqua...
 * Acqua: BANG!!!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Terra: That's not right! I AM THE STARRING CHARACTER!!! '

"......"


 * Acqua: Hmm, you just do what you should do, please... (=_=)|||

Lyrics

 * Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go,
 * Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know,
 * Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I,
 * Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel


 * Come, come one, come all,
 * You must be this tall
 * To ride this ride at the carnival


 * Oh, come, take my hand
 * And run though playland
 * So high, too high at the carnival


 * And it's all fun and games,
 * 'Til somebody falls in love,
 * But you've already bought a ticket,
 * And there's no turning back now


 * Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go,
 * Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know,
 * Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I,
 * Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel


 * This horse is too slow,
 * We're always this close,
 * Almost, almost, we're a freakshow


 * Right, right when I'm near,
 * It's like you disappeared,
 * Where'd you go? My dear, you're a freakshow!


 * And it's all fun and games,
 * 'Til somebody falls in love,
 * But you've already bought a ticket,
 * And there's no turning back now


 * Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go,
 * Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know,
 * Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I,
 * Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel


 * Why did you steal my cotton candy heart?
 * You threw it in this damn coin slot,
 * And now I'm stuck, I'm stuck
 * Riding, riding, riding


 * Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go,
 * Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know,
 * Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I,
 * Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
