The next day was a weekend so the kids were home, Leslie went to her mother's room and she was still in it and it was locked. One of the drones went outside and went into the window, it checked her mother and she was just sleeping. The drone went back out and went to Leslie; Leslie locked up the house and went to Andre's house. When she got there she knocked on the door. Andre came to the door.

Andre: Leslie... Didn't know you were coming over, you didn't call back yesterday.

Leslie: There were a lot of questions on my mind that night and there is one person that can answer them.

Andre: Who?

Leslie: Aylia.

Andre: Aylia?

Leslie: I just need to talk to her, that alright with you?

Andre: I'm ok with it as long as she is ok with it.

Leslie went upstairs and under Andre's bed and went into the astral plain.

Leslie: Aylia, where are you?

Aylia: Down here!

Aylia was in the living room doing some drawing; Leslie went downstairs and saw her sitting down in the chair. Leslie came and sat down next to her.

Leslie: Aylia, I got a question to ask.

Aylia: Go ahead.

Leslie: Do you know my mother?

Aylia: I don't know, what is her name?

Leslie: Sonya?

Aylia dropped the pencil and that started to trigger memories, Aylia put the drawing pad aside and was holding her head.

Leslie: Aylia, did I do something wrong?

Aylia: That name, it is triggering my memories, it is a long time I have ever heard that name.

Leslie: Well, my mother is sad she is sad she couldn't do anything for you.

Aylia: What?

Leslie: She is sad right now at not being able to save you.

Aylia: I wish there was some way of going over there and talking to her.

Leslie thinks on something for a minute.

Leslie: I have an idea and both of us are not going to like it.

Aylia: What?

Leslie whispers something in her ear and Aylia backs away.

Aylia: You can't be serious!?

Leslie: Please, for my mother.

Aylia thinks on it.

Aylia: Ok, let's give it a try.

Leslie went out of the astral plain and stood by the bed. She saw Aylia as a ghost and relaxed.

Leslie: Do it.

Aylia went inside of Leslie to possess her. Leslie dropped down next to the bed and caught herself. When she got up Aylia was in control but Leslie was still there. (I'll point out who is controlling when)

Aylia: Oh my, that was a rush.

They got up and looked around.

Aylia: It worked?

Leslie: Told you it would work but I got to watch out for the coldness when you go into me.

Aylia: What about when I... we leave the perimeter?

Leslie: As long as you possess me I think we should be ok.

Leslie went downstairs and to the door, she opened it and went outside to where the sidewalk meets the path. Aylia calmed herself down and crossed, they were perfectly fine once they got onto the sidewalk.

Leslie: It worked!

Aylia: -sighs- I thought it wouldn't.

Aylia can only go to the perimeter of the house, she gets blocked by an invisible barrier if she goes further, trapping her inside. When she possessed Leslie she was able to pass that.

Leslie: Ok, let's get to my mother to fix all of this.

Aylia: Wait, can I drive?

Leslie: I don't see why not.

Aylia took control and Leslie let her control her body.

Aylia: If I remember correctly, her house should be...

Aylia could still remember where the house was and she got there after getting a little practice. When they got to the door it was locked

Aylia: It's locked.

Leslie: Key is in my pocket.

Aylia found the key in her pocket and opened the door.

Leslie: Let me come in first, wait she needs something to know it's actually you controlling me.

Aylia: I got it.

Leslie got control back and went inside.

Leslie: Mom!

Sonya: I'm in the kitchen!

Leslie went to the kitchen and found her there drinking some juice.

Leslie: Hey Mom.

Sonya: Hi, sorry about last night, I couldn't take it that my best friend is a ghost and is friends with you, I just couldn't take it.

Leslie: Uh, mom I got something to tell you.

Sonya: What is that?

Leslie: It may come off as weird but, I let Aylia possess me.

Sonya: Will you stop playing with me, I don't have the stomach for this.

Sonya walks away but Leslie lets Aylia take control.

Aylia: Sonya Blade, you just had to go and have a kid with Johnny Cage.

Sonya stops dead in her tracks.

Sonya: Only one person ever called me that name.

Aylia: It was your main, remember.

Sonya turns around and looks at Leslie.

Sonya: If that is really you in there then what was my variation?

Aylia: Covert ops, the other ones were just crap.

Sonya: That is really you in there, but, why did you possess my little girl?

Aylia: She asked me to do it; she didn't want you to feel sad for what happened that night.

Sonya: I should have done better, I called the police, I went to your house to check on you but I should have stopped them when I saw them driving away.

Aylia: No, you shouldn't have, you did what you could and I am grateful for the things you did.

Sonya: Aylia...

Aylia came to Sonya and Sonya stooped down to her height.

Aylia: Look, I know you tried everything that night and I am grateful but please, don't beat yourself up because of it; I will be alright as a ghost and I am grateful your child will get a chance to know what kind of person I am.

Sonya was crying while she was saying all of that, Aylia wipes her tears away and looks at her.

Aylia: I forgive you.

Sonya: -sniffs- Thank you.

Aylia: If you want to come over to the house, you can, I will always be there.

Sonya: Ok, I'll let you two have fun over there but make sure my daughter is back before sunset.

Aylia: -smirks- You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt your daughter.

Sonya: Now go, have a good time.

Aylia and Leslie went back to Aylia's house and Sonya was happy that she was forgiven. When Aylia and Leslie got back to the house and they went back to the bedroom.

Aylia: Ok, here we go.

Aylia concentrated and came out of Leslie. When Aylia got out Leslie was holding her chest.

Leslie: -shivers- Chilly.

Leslie went back under the bed and went to Aylia

Aylia: Thank you for letting me sort out things with your mother.

Leslie: You're welcome, I knew she was upset about something but I'm not sure what, until now.

Aylia: But can you do me one favor?

Leslie: What?

Aylia: Don't tell Andre about any of this, it would freak him out.

Leslie: Right, let's keep this our little secret.

Aylia and Leslie giggles.

Leslie: By the way who is Sonya blade?

Aylia: Mortal Kombat character.

Leslie: Oh come on, you two used to play that?

Aylia: We tried it on a dare ok?

Leslie: I think there is a twenty coming out soon.

Aylia: How gruesome is it?

Leslie: I don't even want to know.

Aylia: Ok, I'm going to go back to my drawing and then check it out.

Leslie: I'm going to talk to Andre and see if he wants to do anything.

Aylia: Ok.

Leslie went back under the bed and went to Andre, now that things were sorted out between Aylia and Sonya and Leslie will have to keep it a secret of letting Aylia possess Leslie, but it might not be the only time Leslie let Aylia possess her. Back in the fort everyone was taking it easy until an emergency came in.

Mima: We have an emergency in Iraq.

Pure: What type?

Mima: Several fighter jets came out of nowhere and are circling the country; they are pushing away any planes and other fighter jets from taking off and defending.

Pure: Ok, flyers only on this one along with a fighter squad, that means Cariño, Anne, Artemis, me, Alisha, Carolina, Liz and Marshal.

Pure, Alisha and Carolina switched to blackbird mode and started running, Artemis, Marshal, Carino and Anne started running too; they spread their wings and took off.

Horatio: I want a squad in the air now!!

Pilot: Yes sir!!!

Planes were taking off and circling the fort, when everyone was in the air everyone came together in a formation (there was 14 fighter jets in the air). Artemis, Marshal, Cariño and Anne were given a small thruster to keep up with everyone else and stay in formation until they get to India. The enemy sees them and start coming in their direction.

Pure: Everyone, break, two fighter jets a person, let's see who this is!

Everyone broke off with two fighters with them, the result in them splitting up too.

Pure: Wait here.

Pure gunned it to get behind the lead plane and flipped upside down to get a visual on the lead fighter jet. Once he caught up her looked inside the cockpit to find one person he wasn't looking for.

Pure: Radar!?

Radar looked up and saw Pure looking at her.

Radar: You!

Pure broke off and his wingmen came back to him (blackbirds are way faster than a military jet and Pure's weight is way less than a normal Blackbird so he doesn't go full throttle unless necessary.

Pure: Everyone, Radar is back and she got a squad.

Alisha: Then why is she here, shouldn't she be going after Raheem by now?

Pure: She must have another mission before going after him.

Seth: Pure, I'm getting a bigger energy from her plane than the others; she most likely has way more proplusion.

Enemy Pilot: Captain, what should we do?

Radar: Proceed as planned.

Radar went to full throttle, she was gunning it away from the fight.

Marshal: Pure?!

Pure: I see her, Carolina, Alisha, fuse, our wingmen go with Artemis and take down those enemy planes. Seth, get Gear to the forest, I got a feeling.

Seth: Roger that!

Alisha and Carolina fused to create Calisha, their wingmen went with Artemis. The enemy planes took off towards the city. The enemy planes were after something but not sure what.

Marshal: Everyone split up, take out each plane without hurting the population.

Everyone went against a plane, they went to get a lock-on but the enemy planes were dodging the lock-on and evading.

Friendly Pilot: They are preventing for a clean missile shot!

Cariño looks around and sees two buildings close to each other that have a small gap.

Cariño: I have an idea, make them come to me, let's go boys.

Cariño and her wingmen went with her to the two buildings.

Cariño: Hover boys.

All three of them came to a hover and hid in the shadow of the building. Cariño had missiles on her back like Artemis to fire.

Cariño: Herd them this way!

Marshal: Oh, I get it.

Cariño: A simple trap to get a tough enemy.

Anne: Well I got something else.

Anne went way up in the sky and was above the fight.

Artemis: Keep them busy or run them into the trap!

Marshal: Bad guys never look up.

Artemis: Two of you protect important buildings.

Friendly Pilot: Roger that ma'am!

Two broke off and were on patrol.

While the rest of the planes were herding them into sections to trap or grab, when it came to Cariño she would switch between buildings they find nearby to reset the trap and go again. Her plan was since they were not getting a clean shot by chasing them so they would herd them into a barrage and take them out. With Anne, her wingmen were chasing the enemy pilots she would dive in and take them right out of the cockpit.

With her claws, which were outfitted with metal to cut through better on the glass. When she ripped them out, the plane would go into a glide and Artemis would catch them with her claws and dump them in the river while her wingmen came in behind her and sunk them so they won't operate and any of their weapons won't fire to cause damage. Marshal touched down nearby a police station and used a green flare to mark where he is.

When Anne saw the marker, she came in low, dropped them off and went back to the fight. Marshal and the police force would arrest them and put them in a truck until all of them were captured. With Cariño they used bullets and one rocket to damage them and make them eject when they were going to pull up and make sure the plane had enough glide time for Artemis to pick them up.

Over with Pure and Calisha, they were gunning it faster than Radar and were catching up to her.

Carolina: Why is she going east, the fastest way to the forest is south-west.

Alisha: I don't know but something is up.

Pure: When we catch up to her we will figure out why.

Radar saw them getting close to her so she put her demon powers into action, she started to merge with the plane and it was starting to change.

Pure: Uh, Vincent?

Vincent: She is fusing with the plane.

Randal: That has got to be painful.

When the merging was done she was in complete control and almost looked like a robot.

Pure: Uh oh.

Radar started firing bullets and missiles at Pure and Calisha and they dodged all of it.

Pure: Vincent, you think the merging may have messed with her head and possibly got her on a high?

Vincent: It could happen with the rocket fuel pumping in her systems.

Pure: We still have to take her down.

Alisha: She is headed towards China!

Pure and Calisha started to open fire using their missiles and machine guns, Radar was dodging some of their shots but was still taking damage. Just then Radar got a call, it was Venetia.

Venetia: How is it going?

Radar: On schedule.

Venetia: Keep them busy for a little while longer, we are almost ready.

Radar went full throttle to lose Pure and Calisha but they were faster than her when they hit full throttle. Radar was starting to lose so she saw a military installation and went straight for it. She was grabbing every single piece of ammunition and plane she could catch; she merged with all of them and was firing back at Pure and Calisha furiously.

Pure pulled out his quad cannons and returned fire. He was hitting off parts of her to slow her down but she was getting more parts to fully merge herself and lose the parts. When she was fully merged she blew off the excess parts went faster. She was starting to lose Pure and Calisha again but Pure and Calisha injected nitrous into the rocket engines and they were catching up.

By the time Pure and Calisha caught up they were halfway across the US.

Seth: She is after the fort!

Pure: Not on our watch!!

Pure and Calisha switched to awaken mode and was right behind her. They were almost to the fort then out of nowhere, Raheem came in at that height and delivered a punch right to her face, he was fully armored with the armor he got and the bees created an extra shell with his blades bigger than himself.

Raheem: Did you forget about me!?!

The resulting impact from that punch actually broke her jaw right out of its socket but that didn't come without a cost. His arm from the impact got damaged but he had a swarm of bees following him and they quickly made a cast to keep it in place.

Pure and Calisha: Raheem?!?!

Pure: What are you doing here?

Raheem: -grunts- When I heard she was up I couldn't miss my shot.

Calisha: You broke your arm with that shot.

Raheem: I'll walk it off.

The bees grabbed his other scythe and put it into his hurt hand while he grabbed his other blade and was at the ready. Radar was looking in the distance in the direction of the fort.

Raheem: Pure, create a ball!

Before Radar could get away Pure created a massive ball with his tails trapping Raheem and Radar inside, Radar tried to blast her way out but it was no use. Pure threw a flare inside to provide some light.

Raheem: Where are you going, we have a fight to finish.

Radar turned to Raheem and let out a burst of bullets and missiles. Raheem quickly dodged and got in close with his good hand. Radar had a sword that was made from the parts she had and both of them were clashing inside the ball while Pure and Alisha waited outside.

Alisha: Shouldn't we help him, from the impact of hitting her that fast, his arm should be shredded.

Carolina: Even with the cast, he is going to need medical attention immediately.

Pure: I know, he knows the risks too but let's see how he is willing to push it, he has that same fire in him that Miguel has for Blossom.

Alisha and Carolina separate and hover next to Pure. Inside Raheem and Radar were duking it out. He was using his good hand to attack and his bad hand to throw the blade and cause it to be a projectile. The bees that were around him were helping him to support him by distracting her and letting him recover from the injury.

Radar: I should have killed you when I had a chance.

Raheem: I have gotten a lot stronger since then.

Both of them were still fighting till he was starting to lose consciousness and Violet was feeling it too. Violet was talking to him through their connection to the bees.

Violet: Listen to me Raheem!

Raheem: Violet?

Violet: Listen to me, I know you are losing the fight but you have to stay strong.

Raheem: I'm starting to lose consciousness, my arm is shredded.

Violet: Listen to me, I know you are about to bleed out but you can heal yourself.

Raheem: How?

Violet: You have to connect completely.

Raheem: The bees.

Violet: Yes.

Raheem went to the bottom of the ball and the bees were going around him to protect him and provide time. A set of bees went after Radar to buy time as well. In that time Raheem was feeling the connection and Violet was too. Violet kneeled down and was bonding. Both of their tattoos were glowing.

Raheem: My Queen, I will fight for you to keep you safe.

Violet: My King, I will be with you through thick and thin.

Both of them were glowing brightly and then the cast Raheem had was making him a new arm and it was being upgraded, Raheem loosened the grip on his blades and the bees were circling him faster and he was standing up. The cast broke off and his arm was repaired, armored, and strengthened. All of the bees came back to Raheem and stood behind him. His tattoos were glowing brightly and he was reenergized, the glow from his tattoos went into his blades and they had the same branch design. Radar tried to launch a missile at him but he practically grabbed it with his hand and stopped it, threw it to the side and exploded.

Radar: What the!?

Outside Pure felt the change from Raheem.

Pure: The King has awakened.

Raheem started to walk towards the flare. When he got there he snuffed it out.

Raheem: My turn.

Raheem was flying around the ball so fast Radar couldn't catch up. Raheem was using the glow from the tattoos as light to see. He was punching and cutting her up brutally, he used his new hand to rip out her propulsion and weapons until she was completely disarmed. Raheem put his weapons away. Radar was punching the crap out of Radar and making sure she got what she deserved.

When Raheem was done he knocked on Pure's tails which signaled Pure to open up and when he opened up the parts Raheem ripped off fell into the ocean. Raheem was standing triumphant over Radar. Raheem grabbed her and threw her up, Pure sent out his hell chains and chained her up.

Pure: How are we doing over there?

Marshal: All enemy planes are out of the sky and all enemy pilots have been arrested.

Pure: Any casualties or damaged structures?

Artemis: That's the thing, nothing got damaged.

Pure looks at Radar

Pure: this is too easy.

Mima calls over the com.

Mima: Pure, something is happening at Turkey, you need to get over there!

Pure handed Radar to Alisha and Carolina and gunned it. Raheem came close to Alisha and Carolina and watched him go out of sight. Pure floored it all the way to Turkey and saw that the entire country was being overrun. Pure went down to the ground and was coming in fast. When he got in range he saw demons coming out of a portal and killing people, Pure came out of his awakened mode which pulled his armor and bag back to him

He switched to super tank mode and was evening the playing field.

Pure: Mima, tell all personnel to evacuate, they are taking no prisoners!

Mima: On it!

Pure kept all of the demons on a line and forcing them back, he was using his quad cannons, missile launchers, machine guns. Marshal and the rest of the flyers were not far away and came in with a missile barrage.

Marshal: Come in for strikes only, don't give them something to hit!

The fighter jets and harpies all did missile strikes and machine guns passes to lighten the load. They worked their way till a massive blast came out of nowhere. Pure's Geiger counter went off and that meant it was a nuclear blast.

Pure: Everyone, get in before the shockwave hits us!!

Everyone quickly came around to Pure and he shielded everyone from the radiation and the blast using his tails. He was on the outside looking at the blast. Pure saw the mushroom cloud and someone in front of it, it was Venetia.

Venetia: The tables have turned Pure.

Pure: Venetia.

Venetia: Right now you have a choice, either fight now or save the people, your choice.

Pure: -grunts-

Venetia knew he would protect the people rather than fighting. Pure went back out of the radiation zone and started to evacuate them to nearby countries for decontamination and shelter. Pure then looked back at Turkey and did a circle right around it. He released several Judgment missiles around the border; they separated but didn't go off. All of the judgment missiles were turned into massive land mines, go near, above them or below them and they go off.

Pure: That should hold them.

Randal: What is that?

Pure: A judgment trap, go anywhere near those missiles and they blow sky high but they don't trigger the others. It will hold them till we get everyone to safety.

Seth: Emergency crews are responding as well as radiation crews.

Pure: Let's get Marshal and the others home for decontamination, I don't want them harmed.

As Pure was flying away Venetia was coming close to the border she could see the bombs arming themselves. Pure came down there as well and knows his distance.

Venetia: This won't keep us from our goals.

Pure: No, it will buy some time though, don't bother hacking it, they are air gapped and don't even know my signature.

Venetia: We will get out.

Pure: What is your goal exactly, we took down every single threat you sent us our way.

Venetia: I am just helping the inevitable.

Pure: Which is?

Venetia: The apocalypse that has to pass.

Pure walks away.

Pure: Good luck with that, I stopped those every time.

Pure takes off and heads back to the fort and Venetia walks away and that turns the bombs off. Things are getting serious on all sides, everyone doesn't know what to expect all that everyone is going to load up, train up and make sure they stay down.
