Meanwhile, Randall continues sliding down the vent and screaming to who knows where.

Soon, 'Jeanie' opens the vent and allows Randall to slide out and crash onto the floor.

"Ow," Randall yelps and sits up. He rubs his head in pain, "That fuckin hurts."

Randall soon looks up to see Jeanie walking away, "Jeanie...? What are you doing here?"

He stands up and walks towards her, "I mean, I know you're supposed to look for Sarge and the others, but I didn't expect to find you."

However, Jeanie is not saying a word.

Confused, Randall walks up to her, "Jeanie, are you okay? Cat got your tongue. Jeanie?"

Randall mananges to grab her by the shoulder and turns around to reveal her wearing her Exorcist Mask and horns. Randall gasps in shock to see Jeanie looking like an Exorcist, and then her wings spread open, as an angelic steel spear appears in her hand.

"You really think I like to be around a pathetic demon scum like you!" Jeanie angrily says.

She then flies towards Randall and tries to stab him. Randall dodges the attack. Jeanie tries to stab him multiple times as Randall dodges from left and right. Until Jeanie mananges to leave a bad scratch on his right arm. Randall grits his teeth in pain as he holds his right arm. Randall looks to see Jeanie is ready to stab him. Randall lets out a scream or horror to see Jeanie the Exorcist is ready to kill him. He mananges to dodge and runs away in fear as the Exorcist simply stares, and disappears when the lights turn on.

Randall continues running with tears falling from his face and cries out, "The fuck is going on?!"

At another area, Sarge finds himself being dragged away and ends up getting thrown into a large dark room.

"God fuckin... what the hell..." Sarge mutters, feeling pain in his back.

Suddenly, he hears a familiar voice, "Denzal... Denzal..."

Sarge gasps in shock to hear the voice, a very familiar voice. Sarge stands up and looks around the area. He then hears someone calling his name from one of the doors. When he opens it, he is left with a shocking sight.

Coming out of the room is Crackle, "Denzal... why did you have to leave..."

Sarge is shocked to see his old comrade from his old group. Then coming over from the shadows are Gear Bull, Specs, and Zain. All of them have severe burns, disfigured faces, barnes sticking out, and other kinds of damages, during all from the explosion. All of them are asking why they have to die, why he is forced to leave, why they couldn't be with him anymore. Sarge actually feels very uneasy.

But then, there is a loud explosion and a blast coming towards him. In Sarge's shock, it is the shape of Toxbane.

The Toxbane says, "You can run, but you can't hide little Imp. You can't escape me this time."

Sarge then begins running away as fast as he can as fast as his feet can carry him. He continues running and sees someone in front of him from a distance away. Sarge is shocked and tears begin forming from his face to see Ivy, his fiance and one true love.

Sarge softly says, "Ivy..."

Before he can reach her, an explosion appears behind her and begins to engulf her.

Sarge runs over and cries out, "Ivy! IVY!"

He reaches his hand out towards her as Ivy mananges to take her hand that has the engagement ring on her finger, but she is fully engulfed by the flames and so is his arm.

Sarge cried out, "IIIIIIIVVVVVYYYYYYY!"

At another part of the hotel, Velma continues to get dragged away on the floor and after sometime, she comes to a stop and feels something letting go of her tail.

Velma becomes frightened and asks, "Wha-what's going on?!"

Suddenly, she begins to hear maniacal laughter and looks over to see large muscular Imps laughing and taunting her. Velma gasps in fear and terror. Multiple voices say, "Come on, cute. We won't hurt you. Come here, bitch." Velma tries to run, but the goons grab her and try to sexually assault her.

In her thoughts, Velma panics in her thoughts, "This... This is just like... what happened on that day..."

Suddenly he hears gun fires and the Imps have been shot down and fall to the ground, forcing them to let her go and fall to the ground.

Velma looks up and gasps in shock to see a man approaching her. The man is a large black hooded rat-like demon that appears to have a burn mark and scar on his left side. He is wearing a dark green suit jacket and pants, black shoes, black vest with a gold button, and a white necktie. He is holding a gun in his sharp claw hands. He has glowing green eyes and a creepy sharp teeth smile with sharp teeth, and a skinny tail.

"Ra-Ratburn?!" Velma asks, stunned.

"Well Velma, I can see that you're having a good time with your 'little friends,'" Ratburn says, in a smug remark. He then reaches towards her, "How long do you think it will last before you live up to your end of our agreement."

Velma becomes uneasy as she tries to stand up, "I'm... I'm trying the best I can. I..."

But then Ratburn ends up back handing Velma on the cheek, sending her falling to the ground. He then gives her a hard kick in the stomach and sends her across the hall. Velma tries to get up, but Ratburn grabs her by the neck and presses her against the wall.

"I'm... I'm sorry sir... I'm working the best I can... I'm trying..." Velma begs and tears begin to fall from her face.

With an evil smirk, Ratburn says, "You better my little spawn. Remember, you belong to me. You're mine, and you will do everything I command you to! You really think those fuckers will accept you, especially when they learn the truth about you. Think again. Once they turn their backs on you, you'll be forced to crawl back to me. You're mine Velma. Mine always."

And Ratburn lets go of Velma, forcing her to drop to the ground. Without a second thought, Velma runs away with tears down her face.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'll be good... I'll be good... I'll be good..." Velma says in tears and continues running away.

In a large room, Blitz finds himself being thrown into the hallways. And so far, there is no one around.

Blitz groans and sits up as he rubs his head, "Ugh, my head," he shakes his head, "What was that just now?"

Blitz soon looks around to find himself in the halls. He then calls out, "Jeanie! Randall! Millie! Barbie! Guys!"

Blitz stands up and begins to walk down the halls. Suddenly, the halls begin to change and become the same tent-like walls from the circus.

"Wha-what's going on?" Blitz asks.

Soon, red, orange, and yellow color fire begins to emerge from the walls and doors in the hall. Blitz gasps in shock and fear, remembering the flames from his past. Blitz gasps and ends up stepping back in fear and fright. Blitz tries to run down the hall, but something coils around his wrist. He turns to see Nag looking towards him and it's his tail that is coiled around his wrist.

"What's your hurry, Blitz? There's nothing to be afraid of," Nag says.

Blitz mananges to get his wrist away from his grasp and tries to find a way out.

Soon, more fire appears in front of him, but in the form of Robert Wayne.

"Oh Blitzo, you can't escape that easily!" Robert says an evil tone.

Blitz gasps and continues running as his feet can carry him and the fire continues on. Just then, fire in the form of Striker and Stella come in, and begin taunting him and mocking him. Blitz runs down a different hall as the fire continues chasing him and tears fall down his face. He also continues to hear the banging sounds of guns, the heat of the fire, and his family screaming in pain of being shot, killed and injured. Along with the other screams outside of the tent from the others. Blitz continues running down the halls and bursts open a pair of doors and rushes inside the room.

Blitz breathes heavily and slides his back down the door and sits down. Blitz breathes heavily and tears continue streaming from his face in fear and covers his face.

He doesn't have any idea that he ended up in a large room, almost like a ballroom, and it has a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, along with some areas of the room. There's also a large wide open space, with a stage on the other side of the room.

But a familiar voice catches his attention, "Blitzo..."

Blitz lifts his head up in shock and looks around for the source.

"Blitzo... Blitzo..." The voice continues.

Blitz soon turns around to see right at the center of the room, is Lucy Abercrombie, Blitz's adopted mother, before she became an angel.

"Mom!" Blitz cries out and runs towards him.

His body and clothes end up slightly changing back to when he used to be a teenager. Then both Blitz and his mother embrace each other.

"Oh mom..." Blitz says in tears of relief, "I... I was having the worst dream."

Lucy embraces Blitz and gently shushes him.

Soon Lucy says, "It's okay, it's okay, but, this isn't really a dream. But don't worry..." but suddenly, her voice becomes distorted, "Everything is going to be okay..."

Blitz gasps and leaves his mother's embrace as she suddenly transforms into some black goo-like shadow with glowing yellow eyes and glowing sharp toothed smile.

"Everything is alright," The distorted voice says.

Blitz tries to run out of the ball room, but the oozing shadow is too quick, and creates tentacles to tie both Blitz's wrists, ankles and waist and pulls him against the pillar, keeping him restrained. Blitz struggles to break free, but the ooze has a strong grip on him, and firmly pulls him to keep him still, and he feels dizzy from hitting the pillar a little hard. Blitz soon looks up to see the black ooze figure slithering towards him like a snake. Before he has time to react, the black shadow slithers up from the floor, revealing his green eyes and sharp teeth and looks at him. Then coils itself around the pillar and pinning Blitz against it even further. Then, the shadow leans close to Blitz and uses his green color tongue to lick him on the neck. Blitz lets out a gasp in response and shivers in fear.

And suddenly, the distorted voice appears from the shadow, saying, "Aww, there's no reason for you to be afraid, Blitzo Abercrombie," Then rubs its black finger under Blitz's chin, sending chills down his spine, "I'm sure we can have a good time together for a little longer..."

Blitz struggles to break free from the ghastly figure's grasp, but it ends up having a firm grip on him. Blitz continues to struggle unaware that his hands are beginning to show a bright light yellow glow. Soon, the figure begins to scream and slithers away from Blitz. Blitz looks to see his hands are glowing and it's affecting the figure.

The figure screams, "Aaaaah! It's... It's too bright!"

Blitz then presents his hands to the ghost and makes the glow brighter. The ghost screams from the bright light and feels like it's body's burning. Blitz gasps in shock to notice the face of the creature standing before him, and it's familiar.

With the chance he has, Blitz runs away to make his escape out of the ballroom, closes the door, and uses a chair he has found to seal the monster in. Then hurries down the hall with fear and tears as he begins his search to find the others and simply wants to get away from whatever it is.

Somewhere in the halls, Millie searches around for the others.

"Blitz! Jeanie! Randall! Guys!" Millie calls out, "Where are you?!"

She suddenly hears Moxxie's voice, "Millie?!"

Millie turns to see Moxxie, Loona, and Razor rushing down the hall and meet up with her.

"Moxxie? Loona? Razor? What are y'all doing here?" Millie questions, confused.

"We were looking for Sarge. Something dragged him down the stairs and now we can't find him," Moxxie says.

Loona calls out, "Dad! Dad!"

Loona soon feels something under her feet, and to her shock, it's her dad's sword.

Loona picks it up and calls out, "Dad!"

Suddenly, Loona hears something and notices one of the doors is slightly opened. The Hellhound slowly opens the door and to her shock, she sees her father, Sarge, shaking and having his arms around himself as he is sitting on the floor.

"Sarge!" Millie calls out.

"Dad!" Loona calls out.

Both girls rush towards him.

"Dad, are you okay?" Loona asks.

Sarge turns around to see both Millie and his daughter and has tears falling down his face.

"Sarge, are you okay?" Millie asks.

"Dad?" Loona replies, worried.

Sarge wipes the tears off his face, "No. Not really.... I... I saw Ivy... my old team.... I couldn't... I couldn't help them... Couldn't save them... couldn't save her..."

"Sarge, it's okay. We're here," Millie says, "We all are."

Loona then embraces her dad trying to comfort him.

Sarge takes deep breaths and feels depressed.

"Sorry, I'm not usually like this. I just couldn't stop remembering that awful day, the day that I... that I lost everything..." Sarge says.

"It's okay sir. We understand your past, but you have us now," Moxxie says.

"Moxxie is right. I mean, remember the day you and I met," Millie says.

Sarge wipes his tears and says, "Yeah. I remember. You actually took a hit we were assigned to. And I ended up finding you in the bar in the Wrath Ring, and we got into that fight."

"Yeah," Millie says.

Flashback:

Years ago, at a bar called 'Beelzejuice', sponsored by Beelzebub, in the Wrath Ring, a shark demon and a bug demon were playing pool as the camera roves to a younger Millie, who used to have longer hair in a ponytail, drinking her beer when a door opens to show a silhouette of Sarge He comes over and sits down next to her, tensions are building between them.

"Soooo. You're the girl who took our hit?" Sarge questions.

"You lookin' for payback?" Millie questions.

She whips her tail behind to grab her knife and spins it before stabbing the counter with Millie showing a more attitude side and Sarge's face in the reflection of the knife.

"If so, you came to the wrong fucking BAR!" Millie angrily shouts, and she jumps backwards in a slow motion before throwing her knife at a normal speed.

Sarge quickly intercepts the knife with his chair, easily impressed with her skills.

"Hmm, I have to admit, what you did was very impressive," Sarge says.

He then removes the knife with his tail and examines the blade.

"I can see why Moxxie was so impressed with you," Sarge adds.

Sarge throws the knife away, leaving Millie unarmed, but she snorts like an angry bull and charges right at Sarge. She delivers multiple punches to Sarge, but with every punch, Sarge intercepts it with a chair.

"I have to admit, you've got skills," Sarge say

With every punch Millie inflicts, the chair breaks apart until one of the stools hits a demon in the face painfully.

"Who's that? Your boss? Hah!" Millie shouts.

Millie delivers a roundhouse kick to Sarge, who uses the chair to block the kick, but the chair breaks completely, backing him to a table with only two stools in his hand.

"Actually, it's the other way around. I'm HIS Boss. Moxie is actually a new employee Randall, another employee of mine, discovered sometime ago. Have to admit, despite how small he is, he is very good with using a gun, and intelligent too." Sarge points out.

Millie attacks Sarge again, but he uses the table, grabbing the pole with his table and throws it at Millie. She punches right through, destroying the table as the occupants flee from the fight.

Sarge then grabs one of the fleeing bystanders and throws him over to Millie, but she punches him out cold and chases after Sarge to the counter.

Millie demands, "Bullshit! Who sent you?

The fight scene takes to the counter as they hop on. Sarge grabs one of the demons playing pool and throws her to Millie, but she catches and throws her to the bartender. Millie ejects spikes from her boots to stomp over his balls.

"Who are you working for?!" Millie demands.

Sarge dodges one of her stomps and gets off of the counter.

"I have to suspect that you don't believe me about it," Sarge says.

Infuriated, Millie digs through her ponytail and brings out a second knife she keeps somewhere to stab Sarge.

"Imps don't work for themselves, asshole," Millie shouts and tries to stab Sarge.

Sarge then catches her wrist and twirls around to smack her against the wall, disarming her knife, and holding her with his elbows.

"Well this one does. I'm my OWN Boss, and I can see that you have strong potential," Sarge says.

Millie believes it to be nonsense and back-wall flips over Sarge, freeing herself before landing behind. When Sarge turns around, Millie punches his face hard enough to make his nose bleed.

"You think you have anything to offer me?" Millie angrily says.

Sarge seemed to be handling the fight well, making him wipe his nose and smirks with interest. In return, Millie smirks with satisfaction as if she's enjoying the fight. She attacks Sarge, but he easily intercepts her punches.

"Double whatever you're getting paid now!" Sarge says.

Sarge then grabs Millie by the leg with his tail and spins her to throw the demon over to the wall, laughing victoriously, but Millie lands on the wall with ease. She then picks out the throwing darts stuck on the board.

"I'm between jobs," Millie says.

Millie throws the darts over to Sarge, but he jumps to the left just as the bartender recovers, only for the demon to be struck with multiple darts, possibly killing him. Millie throws more darts and Sarge, who hops around dodge over one and lands on the pool table when Millie has no more darts.

"Really? A skillful powerhouse like yourself?" Sarge questions.

"Not exactly a shortage of imp assassins in Wrath. Reputation is everything," Millie says.

"And what's your reputation, hmm?" Sarge questions with a remark.

Millie feels insulted and climbs on the pool table to fight Sarge. She takes one of the cue sticks and tries to hit Sarge, but he flips over Millie and knees her. Millie blocks the attack, but the cue stick was split in half. She goes dual wield and stabs Sarge, who dodges her attacks. He tries kicking Millie, but she ducks below and then backhand springs over to kick Sarge. He ducks away and moves to the other side to get the drop on Millie, but she moves to the right. Sarge grabs hold of the pool table and flips to the left, causing them to fall out of balance, but they flip over and stand back up. Millie, seeing how skilled Sarge is as a fighter, comes to question the demon.

"Who the fuck are you?" Millie questions.

"The name is Sarge. Sarge Ryder," Sarge introduces himself, "And I happen to see that you have strong potential to be a skilled assassin and a part of my team. So then, you wish to become part of my group?" and presents his hand out to her.

Sarge offers his hand to Millie that he wants her in his team. Millie was going to accept it, but wanting to see if he's serious, reaches for a knife from her back pocket and throws it right at Sarge. The knife misses Sarge by centimeters and lands on the wall, but Sarge is unfazed by the throw, even when his cheek was cut and bleeding. Millie, impressed, chuckles and comes over to him.

"You're fucking weird. I'm in," Millie says.

With that, Millie shakes his hand to accept the offer. With the deal settled, they started walking out of the bar.

"So this Moxxie is the guns and brains of your group, but who's this Randall guy you've mentioned?" Millie asks.

"He's the stealth expert of my group, but also quite the prankster, "Sarge says.

"Good to know," Sarge says.

He then asks, "So, what's your name?"

"Milldred, but everyone calls me Millie," Millie says.

As they closed the door behind them, the bar was a complete mess with many demons knocked out by their brawl with tables and chairs broken.

A year later, another flashback scene cuts to when Millie meets the whole gang. She hops and flips on the rooftop to meet Loona, who had pink and gray highlights before going none. Along with Berry, Drew, and Razor. And lastly, Moxxie, who is completely flustered when he sees Millie for the first time, and is sweating nervously as he shakes her hand, frozen in shyness. Millie walks past him, who faints from love at first sight to Randall giving her the signature axe.

As the story continues, Millie explains, "That year I spent getting to know your rag tag team and making our mark in the assassin game. It was fun."

The office building, which will become the I.M.P. headquarters, is in lease, and Sarge takes it.

Soon, Sarge and the others lead the group into the office. The company: I.M.P Headquarters, painted on the door.

"Welcome to I.M.P," Sarge says as he opens the door.

Revealing the office to be still in the works with boxes not opened yet, wallpapers still in need of remodeling, and the hole on the ceiling that needs to be patched. The gang are amazed that they have their own building.

Millie gasps in surprise, "Holy shit!

Moxxie, astonished and excited, turns to Sarge, "Sir, what is this?"

Sarge takes out Stolas's Grimoire to show them the one thing they'll need for the job.

"This place is our new office and our future," Sarge says, "I figure that since we've been doing well with our company that we deserve to have an upgrade. New office, new clients, and new business. You're all welcome to check it out."

Everyone begins walking and looking around their new office. Sarge then notices that Millie isn't looking around, and looks very hesitant.

"Are you okay, Millie?" Sarge asks, "You don't seem very excited."

"We... heh. We don't deserve this," Millie says, reluctant.

"Huh?" Sarge replies, confused.

Millie then explains, "We're just Wrathians, Sarge. Muscle. It's all we're good for, all I'm good for. It's why you hired me. Any demon good at making a buck is welcome in Lust or Greed, but here? Demons like us ain't cut out for this."

Sarge sighs and says, "I get it Millie?"

"You do?" Millie questions.

"Yes. I have to work very hard to get to where I am. My light was very hard, and I had to push myself past my limits," Sarge says.

He then approaches Millie, "I brought you into this company for a reason? You're tougher, smarter, and frankly more capable than anyone I've ever met in any ring. I've seen potential in all of you. Randall is stealth, Moxie is the weapons expert. Razor is also a skilled weapons expert along with the tech and mechanic of the group. Drew and Berry also the lures. And you have skill, agility, and strength. And Loona is also my special strength. And I can see how you all can become greater than you already are. You all can be so much more. The point is, if we can't make it here then- then no one deserves to, right?"

Millie smiles, "Thanks Sarge. Of course, in this group, you're also the leader."

"No problem. Come on, you should check the place out," Sarge says.

Millie smiles and does just that.

Millie explains, "Most of my life I bought into the idea that all I could ever be was a simple farm girl. Or best an underpaid goon. Until I met a head strong Imp who never gave a fuck about what anyone else said he could or couldn't be. He made me believe he could be anything. And that made me feel like I could be anything, too.

Flashback Ends:

"He gave me so much...A career, a husband, a future. And great friends..." Millie adds.

"Yeah. And I ended up with great friends," Sarge says, and sighs, "It's just difficult for me to move on from that incident. It really hurt me deeply."

"Yeah. I get it," Millie says, "I mean, it's not everyday I see you like this. You're usually not bothered by stuff like this, practically bulletproof. So, it was shocking to learn about what you've been through, but you've accomplished so much and helped us so much," and smiles, "And we're all here for you as well."

"Thanks," Sarge says.

"Glad to hear it, because I have to wonder what is with this crazy place," Razor says.

"Yes. This doesn't seem like a normal hotel," Moxxie says.

"You're right. I feel that it's time to finish this assignment, and figure out what the hell is going on here," Sarge says.

"Yeah," Millie says.

"But first, we need to find the others. I'll feel much better once we regroup," Sarge says.

"Good idea, sir," Moxxie says.

The group then take their leave from the room to find the rest of the gang.

In one of the lower floors, Jeanie is rushing down the hall to find Randall and the others.

"Guys! Randall! Blitz! Millie! Sarge! Anyone!" Jeanie calls out as she tries to find the group and check some of the rooms that aren't locked.

Suddenly, she begins to hear whimpering sounds coming from one of the rooms. She slowly opens the door to see Randall is lying on the floor and is curled up into a ball and his tail is wrapped around it.

"Randall, are you okay?" Jeanie asks, worried and rushes over to him.

When Jeanie tries to comfort him, Randall gasps and turns to see Jeanie. He quickly becomes frightened and scoots back in fear of seeing her.

"Randall, what's wrong, are you okay?" Jeanie asks, worried.

"Je-Jeanie? Is... Is that you... really you?" Randall asks, tears falling down his face.

"Yes. It's me. I'm here," Jeanie says, with a concerned expression.

Shaking in fear, Randall says, "I... I thought you didn't want me..."

"What? What do you mean?" Jeanie asks.

"You probably wouldn't want to be with me. I'm nothing but a piece of trash, a demonic scumbag. Useless," Randall says in tears.

"Randall, you're not useless or demonic scum," Jeanie says.

"Yes I am. I couldn't help anyone. I lost the first person I ever loved because I couldn't do more to help him, and he ended up hating me. I'm... I'm worried that you might get hurt, and will end up hating me as well," Randall says with tears falling down his face.

Jeanie then wraps her arms around him and comforts him.

"Oh Randall, it's okay. It's okay. I know that you wouldn't let anyone hurt me. And even then, I can defend myself and defend you," Jeanie reassures.

"Really? How can you be sure?" Randall asks.

Jeanie smiles, "Because you saved me when I was hurt when we met. And I am grateful to you. You've been very nice to meet and despite knowing I was an exorcist, you helped me, took care of me, and were very generous to me. I think you're a good demon. I mean, sure you have your crazy moments, but I really like you," And gives him a kiss on the cheek.

Randall blushes and smiles, "You really like me?"

"Yes. You're a good demon. It just goes to show that no matter what world they live in, demons can have hearts," Jeanie says.

The two soon look at each other and give each other a passionate kiss on the lips, and love continues to blossom between each other.

Once that's fine, the two parted lips and hugged each other.

Suddenly, Randall asks, "So, do you want me to fuck your brains out right now?"

"Randall!" Jeanie yelps, blushing.

Randall laughs, "I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We just started to actually have a relationship. Besides, who wants to go at it in this dump?"

Jeanie playfully punches Randall on the shoulder, "You can't help but get a laugh out of something can you?"

"Hey, I gotta be me," Randall says with a big grin on his face.

Then Randall says, "Come on, we gotta find the others before any more weird shit happens."

Running down the halls, Blitz is able to escape from the incident and soon stops to catch his breath.

"That... that was too close..." Blitz says, exhausted. Then turns towards the hall he has run away from, "What... What was that thing? It was... It felt like it was trying to get into my head..." and soon looks at his hands that are no longer glowing, "And my hands were glowing," and begins to wonder, "What new power did I get this time. Is it... angelic...?"

"Blitz!" Barbie's voice calls out.

Blitz turns to see Barbie, Drew, and Berry running down the hall to see him.

"Barbie! Drew! Berry!" Blitz says, surprised, but relieved, "Thank goodness. I've been trying to look for you guys."

"What happened? Where are Randall and the others?" Drew asks.

"I don't know. I remember splitting up from the group because Millie and Randall searched in the vent while Jeanie and I split up to find you guys. Something grabbed me and pulled me into one of the rooms. I ended up finding myself in the Circus, and the fire, and Nag, Striker, and other of our enemies were there. And I was grabbed by this creepy shadow," Blitz explains and has chills down his spine, "This Shadow tries to get into my head or something. Suddenly, my hands glowed, forcing the thing out and running away. I managed to escape and found myself here."

Barbie is relieved, "Thank goodness you're okay."

"So, do you really think it's a ghost?" Berry asks.

"I don't know. I actually saw it, but it doesn't look like a ghost," Blitz says.

He then notices, "Hold on, where's Velma?"

"We don't know. We were exploring the hall to find any clues, but she disappeared," Drew says.

"We looked all over for her, but no luck," Berry says.

"And we can't find Sarge and the others either," Barbie says, "Something's fuckin freaky is going on in this place."

Suddenly, they begin to hear whimpering and sobbing.

"Huh?" Drew responds, hearing the sounds.

He then shushes everyone, "Shhhhh, listen."

Everyone remains silent and hears sobbing and whimpering, along with muffling sounds.

Berry soon notices one of the doors to the hotel room is open. She slowly opens the door and to her shock, she finds Velma lying on the ground, whimpering, sobbing, and murmuring to herself.

She murmurs to herself, "Forgive me... Forgive me... please... forgive me Ratburn... Please forgive me... Drew..."

Berry turns to the others, "She's in here, and she doesn't look so good."

Drew and the others rush over and see Velma in a frightened state.

"Fuck, what happened to her?" Barbie asks, frightened.

"I don't know. I found her like this. She looks like she's very unstable," Berry says.

Drew kneels down to her, "Velma, are you okay? Velma."

However, Velma ignores him and begins to raise her voice and shake rapidly, "Please Drew, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... please forgive me... Please, no more please. Please, I'm sorry Ratburn. Please, forgive me... I'll be a good girl...

"What?" Drew asks, shocked.

Barbie is even more shocked, "Did she just say Ratburn?! What does that rat have anything to do with it?!" and begins to get upset.

Blitz turns to Barbie, "Calm down, Barbie. I'm sure there's an explanation for it."

"Well she better. I really can't stand that sewer rat! And I still think he's responsible for what happened to my home, our dad, and my best friend!" Barbie says, angrily.

"Let's focus on getting Velma to calm down first, okay," Blitz says, trying to calm down his sister, "I'm sure we'll get all the answers once we get this assignment finished.

Barbie groans in defeat, "Fine."

Drew then shakes Velma, "Hey Velma. Vel. Snap out of it..." And continues shaking her, "Please, wake up."

Velma gasps in shock and mananges to get up and look to see Drew.

Drew gives her a gentle smile, "Thank goodness, Velma. You had me worried there," He then gently places his hand on her head, "I'm glad you're okay."

Seeing Drew with his reassuring smile, Velma begins tearing up, and begins to cry. Then pulls Drew into an embrace, catching him by surprise. Drew then holds Velma in his arms, rubbing his back to comfort her. Blitz, Barbie, and Berry watch in deep concern as Velma continues crying and a large amount of tears stream from her face. They have to wonder, 'what could have happened to Velma that made her go in such a state?' and 'What is her connection to the demon Ratburn that Barbie talked about?'
