Samantha’s elegantly frozen in a ballet curtsey stance, Linnea flew above, behind her, and Mandy kept her rifle aimed at her. The call of the night, being the screeching howls of the skyscrapers, metal clanking from the destroyed rubble behind them. Samantha carefully stood straight, briefly looking over her shoulder as Linnea’s nervousness dripped off her chin. She grinned, Mandy frowned, and Linnea smacked her teeth. Waiting to see who’d be the first to make a move, Samantha took the chance to bask in the moment. Closing her eyes, letting the chilly wind tickle her pale face, she couldn’t help but keep her small grin.

“Come on make a move, Witch.” Linnea mumbled as she took aim with the submachinegun.

Mandy’s finger twitched, and fought the urge to press the trigger any further as it was halfway pressed.

“Wipe that smirk off your face, bitch.” Mandy murmured.

Samantha let out her relaxation out her nostrils, and they saw her body moving backwards. The two quietly gasped, their eyes expanded as Samantha fell off the beam backwards with her arms spread out. The two sprung into action. They flew into the sky, together they dove to where Samantha’s free falling. They began firing their weapons, and their bullets had frozen the minute they were inches reaching Samantha. Mandy growled, Linnea gasped, they put their guns away, shooting beams of light at her. She dodged them while the falling continued. Making contact with a broken part of a skyscraper, the two gazed down, and saw an infinite free fall. They sprung to where she stood, shooting more mana blasts while she danced on the pointed piece of building.

“Damn her!” Mandy shouted.

Mandy reloaded, cocked, and fired another barrage of mana invested bullets upon her. Samantha effortlessly danced like a ballerina as they flew past her face, arms, and legs, freezing in time. She leaped into the air, spun in a ballet manner, and again free fell. They continued their onslaught of firing, reloading, repeating their vicious gunfire barrage. Samantha caught a beam, spun, and with the momentum, launched herself to them, getting in between. The two forced themselves to separate and fire their weapons from a distance.

“Linnea, now!” Mandy shouted.

Linnea reloaded, putting in a mag filled with mana and her handgun as well. She fired both weapons while Mandy did the same with her shotgun and rifle. The two fired their weapons, flying, coursing through the sky. Their bullets, shells, reached, but froze, crossed, and were close to colliding. Samantha giggled, and with just her finger tips, began jumping, hopping on the bullets that were frozen to approach Mandy. Linnea kept firing while Mandy used both arms to shoot her shotgun at Samantha who was shrinking the distance between them. Mandy could see her playful grin, gleaming eyes hopping their way to her, which made her retreat, and land on top of a building. Samantha did some gymnastic leaping before diving to where Mandy stood. She immediately put her arms together, and used Leon’s technique against her, which startled her.

“You wench!” Mandy shouted.

She fired the powerful beam at her, and Samantha slid to the side, using the beam to guide her down to Mandy. She landed, got to her face, and the two had a stare off as the beam died down. It blew up in the air, drenching the world in a flash of purple and white.

“You’ll never beat me, Mandy.” Samantha said.

Mandy lowered her arms, and clenched her fists.

“This is not about beating you in the way you think. It’s more than that, my old friend.”

Samantha’s thin smile reappeared and she bumped heads with her.

“Then show me what you’re trying to accomplish, M-a-n-d-y.”

Mandy also smiled, and in a surprise attack, gave Samantha a kiss which caught her off guard and back up. Samantha wiped her lips aggressively and Mandy playfully blew her another kiss.

“Didn’t see that coming, did you?”

Samantha twitched an eye, but smirked again.

Linnea shot a barrage of bullets, and Samantha turned her glare to her. The bullets froze, Mandy rushed in, firing her shotgun point blank. Her shells also froze and Linnea dove down to shoot her weapons point blank at Samantha. The three stood for a moment, and they began firing. Samantha duck, slide, put an arm down to dodge as they shot their weapons. Linnea forced herself to get closer, and shot her handgun point blank with Samantha slapping her hand away with each shot. First her hands did, then she used her heels to slap Linnea’s point blank shots. Mandy also joined in with her shotgun with Samantha doing the same. Kicking, slapping, ducking with every shot of buckshot. Samantha’s dance moves and choreography caught them off guard, off balance as they did their best to shoot their guns at her.

In a last ditch effort, Linnea summoned two spirits to catch her, to which they did but Samantha’s presence froze them to death. They disintegrated and Samantha quickly got in Linnea’s face, and swept one of her legs off balance. She gasped as she was falling backwards, and Samantha grinned. Linnea abruptly pulled out the smg from behind her, and fired, and instantly Samantha also kicked flipped backwards. Mandy appeared from her side, and point blank shot her shotgun. The momentum blew Samantha to the side, and had her falling off the building. The two hurried to see if Mandy’s shot took her out. To no unveil, they saw her hopping from building to building.

“Damn, I really thought you got her for a moment, Mandy.”

“Doesn’t matter, we have her cornered.”

They went after her, still firing and after all the bullets that had frozen in time, it left the world in a mess of lines: Thin lines that course the whole city, and skies with their bullets. They still shot their weapons despite them becoming lines of nothing. Hopping from buildings, leaping from skyscrapers, jumping, spinning as they fired more and more, chasing after the enemy, eventually the three once again found themselves together above a tall skyscraper. Reloading, Mandy knit her brows as she did. Linnea also reloaded her final mag that Mandy gave her as Samantha floated between them. As the three stayed afloat in the sky, Samantha gazed at the moon, and smiled at the shining rock.

“What a view, and never have I seen her so bright.”

They didn’t say a thing, but ready their weapons again.

“Of course, I made it happen, but too bad, there’s a mosquito who won’t leave me be, and a bee who can’t decide if she wants to live or die. Just buzzing around, provoking to see if they’ll get squashed.”

Mandy trickled a chuckle and Linnea trickled a grunt.

“Fools, the both of you…”

Samantha vanished and Mandy felt someone blow into her ear. She jumped, flew forward, and shot behind her. Samantha giggled as she dodged the stream of pellets.

“It’s all fun and games until you’re the one that’ll be teased, Samantha.” Mandy said.

“Hmm? Are you sure? Or you're just aloof to my insults at this point, Mandy.”

Samantha seductively placed her finger against her chin, and smiled.

“Come now. Please, do tell me more about how you’ll be the one to reverse the rolls.”

Linnea couldn’t understand why Mandy’s trying more to provoke her and in her eyes and thought process, is only helping Samantha grow more frustrated and full of herself. Mandy’s body wasn’t shaking, her face permanently confident, Linnea let out a long sigh, and fluttered her eyelashes.

“Hmph, that’ll wait. Let's see just how strong you really are.”

In the blink of an eye, Mandy appeared at Samantha’s face, and held her shotgun to the side of her face. The two had another stare down, and remained in statue states. The silence of the empty city, the breeze of the night fluttering their hair, the edge of Mandy’s lips raised in an amused manner. Samantha also grinned, and Mandy eerily began tilting her head. She got close, and bumped noses with her, and both could feel the heat of their bodies through their nostrils.

“You’re really full of it, aren’t you?” Samantha said.

Mandy giggled and knit her brows.

“Not as much as you, you twisted bitch.”

“That confidence will be your undoing. Don’t get carried away or else you’ll fall harder than you stood.”

Mandy jolted her head.

“We’ll see about that. Right now, there’s something that’s worth more protecting than the world, and it’s something you’ll never understand.”

Samantha squinted her eyes, and smacked her teeth.

“Did I strike a nerve? Oh, poor Samantha might have an idea as to what I’m talking about.”

Samantha exploded her eyes, and Mandy was sent hurtling away, crashing into a building. She quickly shot out of the hole, and flew to Samantha, shooting a shotgun blast filled with mana pellets. They exploded around her, and she saw Samantha free falling again with a trail of smoke behind her. The two gave chase again as she was falling. All three fell for another eight stories as they kept shooting until Samantha did a backflip to make contact with a building top. They landed opposite of each other, and rushed in, shooting point blank again. Samantha tangoed her way through their attacks, ballerina spun, and split her way through the oncoming trails of lead.

“Linnea, blast her!” Mandy shouted.

Linnea summoned a summon below Samantha that grabbed her feet. She was held in place, and Linnea gathered enough mana to shoot a huge beam point blank. Samantha slapped it away, and stomped the summons hands out of existence. Mandy jumped in, Samantha kicked her shotgun’s barrel in the air. Linnea jammed her handgun to her face, which she slapped away, and dodged another blast from Mandy. The two kept pursuing point blank blasts despite their efforts being futile. Samantha continued her exquisite dancing while she smacked, kicked, pushed, and fell beneath every effort given by their relentless attacks. Again, she leaped into the air, and then off the building to free fall one last time. They followed and with the three all falling simutouniusly, Mandy and Linnea had had it.

Together, as they free fell with Samantha, they fired non stop, trying to land at least one shot. Samantha dodged, bobbed, weaved, smacked their gun barrels away as they fell in a dance of hell. They fell for what seemed like forever as they kept up their brutal point blank firing. Starting to reach the ground, Linnea backed off, and used her handgun to shoot regular bullets. Samantha touched the ground, and she flicked away her bullets for them to freeze around her. Mandy shot one more shotgun blast before firing one more full mag of her rifle. Samantha did the same, and the two rushed in, firing one more set of hellfire until they ultimately ran out of ammunition.

Mandy posed with the rifle aimed near Samantha’s face, looking at her while she was kneeled down. Linnea had her handgun aimed at the back of her head, and Samantha was in a seductive dance pose with one finger raised. The two panted heavily, sweat drenched their faces while Samantha appeared relaxed, and having the time of her life. Samantha looked over her shoulder briefly, then to Mandy, and let out a moan.

“Aw, don’t tell me that the two of you are tired already?” she said.

Mandy growled, and Linnea smacked her teeth.

“Come now, don’t look disappointed. I was just dancing and having a blast.”

Mandy’s annoyance grew tenfold while Linnea’s fear came back.

“What? Are we not convinced yet on how futile your efforts have been? Well then…”

Samantha gently bent her finger, and turned her grin upside down.

“...allow me to downgrade, and get back to your level.”

Samantha placed down her one raised leg, and when it clacked the ground, every frozen bullet, blast, mana attacks unfroze. Bullets collided with each other, rippled, sawed through buildings, destroying, penetrating anything it can reach. Mana exploded, the bullets in combination turned the entire city into a wonderland of explosions, destruction, and streams of hellish light that ricochet around them, and left Mandy and Linnea in a state of utter shock. Mandy’s jaw was dropped, Linnea’s teeth were ground as the last of their bullets streamed past their blanched faces, and blew past their hair.

Samantha lowered her arms and shrugged.

“What? What’s with the long faces, you two?”

Mandy threw her rifle to the side, and shakingly stood up.

“Wh-what just happened?” she muttered.

Samantha giggled, and eerily pointed at her.

“What does it look like?”

She squinted her eyes, and her thin smile returned.

“I slowed myself down to your guys speed.”

Linnea was still confused as to what she meant.

“You’re not making any sense!”

Mandy clenched her fists, and knit her brows. A huge drop of sweat rolled down the side of her face.

“I guess I’ll say it to your simplistic brain.” Samantha replied.

She circled, waved her hand and placed her other hand on her hip.

“As we tangoed, you guys were near my circle. The moment I decided to shrink it back inside me, it allowed me to be set back to reality.”

“She’s basically saying her speed exceeds comprehension.”

Samantha winked at Mandy, and clapped.

“Bravo! You guessed it right. Your measly attacks were no match to my movements. And to think I was just dancing, hehe.”

Samantha did an old Scandinavian dance, and circled, flowing like wind.

“Just like the wind, I vanish. Deep in blood, in my flesh, my existence to anyone isn’t there… only a thought or a dream, perhaps a nightmare.”

Mandy wiped her face, and Linnea frowned.

“To people like you, one that I loathe, the other that I might have remorse, I allow you to see me. Otherwise, if I’m found out again…”

Samantha gazed up at the sky.

“God forbid what would happen to this universe. My mind is twisted, sinister, but my actions alone are what defy the being that I am.”

“An envious evil good for nothing bitch, is what you are, Samantha.” Mandy said.

Samantha grinned.

“No matter the methods, efforts you two might be thinking now, you can’t beat what doesn’t exist.”

Mandy shut her eyes for a moment, and the way her shut eyelids were shaking, to Linnea, it appeared as if she were thinking. Samantha glanced back at the two.

“What? Still trying to figure out another method of beating me? I told you, there’s nothing else you two can do.”

Mandy opened her eyes, and tilted her head, dozing off. Samantha giggled, hovering her hand over her mouth.

“Look! It looks to be that my old nemsis has—”

Mandy’s fist engulfed Samantha’s vision, and Samantha gasped, ducking. Mandy immediately threw an underhook punch that made contact with Samantha’s stomach. She gagged, and Mandy donkey kicked Samantha away. Her heels dug into the cold ground, dragging away and left her speechless. Mandy ran towards her, and Samantha panicked, tip toe hopping backwards to get away. She went up to the sky, and summoned a barrage of lightning strikes from the sky. Mandy dodged them effortlessly and with speeds exceeding way past light, dodging, flashing in and out of reality, Mandy appeared again in her face, and axlehand Samantha back to the ground. She crashed into the ground, and a dust cloud shot up.

Mandy stayed in the sky, and with her fists clenched, she glanced down at Samantha who emerged from the smoke unharmed but caught offgaurd.

“I knew it, she can’t defend herself.”

Samantha was furious and annoyed, brushing the dirt off her elegant outfit.

“You vile beast! How dare you lay your hands on me!”

Linnea flew next to Mandy and seemed hyped.

“Holy cow! Where’d that come from?!” she shouted.

Mandy put her hand up.

“She can’t fight. I remember from long ago.”

“Huh?! You-you mean she can’t physically fight like us?”

“Remember, most Witches and Esper's don’t even engage in hand to hand combat. It’s not necessary for them unless it's a last ditch effort. They get way into their own heads and think they’ll never have to since the majority of their attacks are from a distance.”

Linnea’s smile returned and she grabbed Mandy’s shoulder, wiggling her in excitement.

“Oooo, Mandy you’re a freaking genius!”

Linnea turned to Samantha’s glare, and raised a fist.

“That means we’ll be able to beat her to a pulp!”

Mandy shook her head.

“Not as easy as it sounds. Look at her, she’s completely unharmed. My attacks did nothing but push her around and annoy her.”

“R-Right… damn, so much for finding a way of leaving a scratch.”

“I wouldn’t leave that out of the equation.”

“Wh-What are you trying to say?”

Mandy chuckled.

“Oh my Norwegian friend, you sure are clueless but it’s understandable.”

Mandy glanced at her friend, and grinned.

“I’m not trying to physically scratch her. I’m trying to get into her conflicted head.”

“Conflicted?”

Linnea squinted at the thought.

“Are you sure? She seems the same as always: sadistic, calm yet gentle.”

Mandy watched as Samantha’s glint shone brighter.

“Oh, I’m sure she’s conflicted. She ain’t right, and I’m about to push her limits.”

Mandy smiled ear to ear.

“Let's see just how calm natured she really is.”

Mandy teleported behind Samantha and she vanished immediately. Mandy predicted where she’ll appear and shot a barrage of mana crystals at her. They were shattered in front of her invisible barrier. Mandy flashed a huge ball of mana, and blinded the world in a colour of bright blue. Samantha smacked her gums and knew where Mandy would appear. She leaped away, but surprisingly, Linnea came from behind, shooting her handgun to force her to leap forward. Mandy’s fist shoved into her abdomen and Samantha’s eyes grew big. A huge twisted grin grew on Mandy’s face when she saw Samantha’s shocked expression.

“You really can’t fend for yourself when it comes to hand combat? Oh Samantha…”

Samantha growled.

“...You should’ve paid more attention to the perfect man who sacrificed everything for you just to be played by your feeble admiration!”

Hearing her insult struck a nerve in Samantha to which she responded with a shout.

Mandy was electrocuted away. She was sent crashing through buildings and shot into a skyscraper. Mandy moaned, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Samantha approaching her. She giggled and pulled herself off the dented rubble. Samantha flew straight into Mandy. Samantha speared Mandy through the building, and made their way down to the earth. Being dragged for a mile, Mandy, despite the pain, cackled which threw Samantha off. Mandy wrapped her arms around her neck, and locked her in a choke hold. They stopped skidding, and Samantha tried wrestling her way off Mandy’s grip.

“Le-Let go of me!” she shouted.

Mandy tilted her head, and drew close to her ear.

“What's the matter? I thought miss all mighty couldn’t be touched, grabbed, or spoken to?”

Samantha knit her brows, and yelled. An explosion occurred where they were. Mandy was shot out of the explosion sphere, a trail of smoke tailed her as she fell back to the earth. She fell back first, and was covered in bruises and bled from wounds across her arms and face.

“Damn… that really hurt.” she mumbled.

Mandy sat up, grabbing her stomach as she saw Samantha rising to the sky. Her hair fluttered violently, and her eyes glowed crimson.

“That’s it… show me your emotions. Show me what really grinds your nerves, bitch.”

Samantha took deep breaths, and calmly put one palm forward. Her palm ignited, a huge spark tried growing the small flickering explosion. It torched, and eventually ignited fully. The sound it produced sent chills across Mandy’s body as she got back on her feet.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

“For the first time in almost two decades…”

Samantha grew a huge vile grin as the spark alone heated up the entire dimension. Mandy grabbed her right arm, and frowned.

“I’m about to face the same flame that almost took my life.”

The ignited spark grew forward, and Samantha’s palm exploded a gigantic beam of blue fire that darkened the world. Mandy’s pupils reflected the dormant anger Samantha had for her vastly approaching her. A blue flame of hell was a yard away, and Mandy couldn’t help but bring out a tear from the gorgeous flame.

“You loathe me that much, do you, Samantha?” Mandy murmured.

Mandy stomped one foot forward, and put her hands together near the side of her face.

“Thank you for showing me just how much you hate me.”

Her mana exploded out, and she was nearing her max strength, growing the mana in her interlaced palms. Her aura grew to the sky, and she screamed, shooting it at the blue wall of fire just a foot away. A magnificent explosion erupted and for a moment, blew up the entire reality they were in until the explosion imploded within itself. Mandy was in stance, and Samantha had the edge of her lip raised.

“You got lucky. If it wasn’t for me intervening then our little explosion would’ve reached our real world.”

“Hmph…”

Mandy lowered her arms, and clenched her fists.

“Like I care.”

Samantha smiled.

“I knew you had no care about the world.”

“When you’re protecting something greater than the world, of course your care for this vile reality would grow numb.”

“Huh? What’s the meaning behind your statement?”

Linnea came in time, and handed Mandy her shotgun. Mandy glanced at it, and threw it to the side.

“Hey! I just loaded it!”

Mandy grinned.

“Don’t worry, I’ll use it when the chance comes. Just observe as I pull my next twist.”

Samantha floated down, and faced the two a yard away.

“What are you trying to imply, Mandy?”

Mandy raised her finger, and wiggled it.

“Nuh uh, you’re going to have to take a guess at it.”

Samantha deeply knit her brows.

“Enough of your charades, it’s growing tiresome.”

Mandy laughed and it was abruptly cut off by something hitting her away.

“Mandy!” Linnea shouted.

Mandy caught herself from colliding with a building and launched herself towards Samantha. Samantha dodged her, leaped above and was about to raise the earth when she felt Mandy’s hand around her right ankle. Samantha gasped, and Mandy threw her to the ground. A huge dent on the earth was created, and Samantha growled more than she ever has in her life. But, Mandy pulled herself onto Samantha’s body, stabbing the earth behind her body to bear hug her and raise Samantha off the ground. She had Samantha in a tight bear hug, and the two were an inch from touching noses.

Samantha grew irritated seeing Mandy’s confident yet bloodied face.

“You just can’t help yourself but touch me, huh? Whore.”

Mandy chuckled, and bumped noses with her.

“Hmm, you are soft I admit. You’re definitely more gorgeous than me, and have a better body than I do. But—”

Mandy moaned, and squeezed.

“—I can accomplish something you’ll never achieve… even in your wretched dreams.”

Samantha’s eyes quivered.

“Again with this silly que—”

“And I’ve achieved it.”

“H…uh…”

Samantha’s mouth stayed open. She didn’t move a muscle, and her eyes went blank. Mandy edged towards her ear, and blinked.

“Samantha, you know where I’m going with this? Don’t you, heh.”

Samantha’s finger twitched, crunched, and twisted. Her pupils dilated as her eyes trembled in anger. She trickled an angered gasp, and ground her teeth. She locked eyes with Mandy who's glistened with happiness.

“And I have more of a reason to defeat you so Leon and I can achieve ultimate happiness.”

Mandy gently bumped heads with Samantha.

“A world in which you don’t exist.” she seductively said.

Samantha felt something cut through her. She snapped, and Mandy was blown away by her aura exploding out. Linnea caught her friend, and the two stood watching as Samantha’s power was finally shown for the first time since Mandy’s last encounter.

Linnea squinted her eyes, and tears came out.

“It’s horrifically beautiful…”

Mandy rubbed her stomach area, and smirked.

“Oh, Samantha.”

Samantha’s aura was slicing the air around her: The heat alone melted reality in her vicinity like paint drying. Its bright, yet darkened colours correlated exactly as Mandy imagined it.

“She’s the personification—of hellfire.”

Samantha’s aura flickered sparks of burning flames that shot around. Its volcanic nature erupted into the sky, and burned the clouds, making it rain ash and meteorite's. The hottest flame known to man, blue scorched the world, and Samantha punched her fist forward, shooting a huge beam of blue fire towards them. Mandy screamed, and ran directly towards it, putting her fist together to hammer it away. She felt her skin sizzle, and saw the edge of her hands burned as the flame shot into the sky. Samantha’s eyes glowed red hot, and she bended more flames out her fists. Mandy and Linnea jumped, leaped building to building as her trail of blue fire eviscerated everything in its path.

Linnea went deep into the ash fired sky, and put her arms into the air. She pulled in mana wherever she could in the empty world. But, to no unveil, she was only able to form a small bluish ball of mana the size of a three story house.

“To hell with it!”

She threw her arms forward, and the blue ball sliced through the blacked red clouds, and pummeled its way towards Samantha. Without giving it a glance, Samantha put her hand in the air, and the ball disintegrated.

Mandy exploded out of the ground, and the two collided palms, which sent a shockwave that leveled the city. The two stood, struggling to push each other.

“What’s the matter?! Can’t you back up that invincible strength with your hands?!” Mandy shouted.

Samantha growled and pushed forward, forcing Mandy to dig her feet into the ground. Mandy’s power rose to max, but it did little to no effort to help herself stop Samantha’s push. Mandy didn’t care, and instead let go, which made Samantha fall forward. Mandy drove her knee forward, making contact with Samantha’s abdomen. Samantha froze, and trickled repeated gasps.

“Why’re you so angry?! Did I get in your head! Is that it, Samantha?!”

“Shut… up!”

Samantha drove her left foot into the ground, and the earth imploded. Mandy flew away, and both friends were once again side by side in their fighting poses.

“You alright, Mandy?”

Mandy chuckled.

“Yeah. But I think I got a little carried away.”

“With what, exactly?” Linnea asked.

While facing forward, Mandy watched as Samantha’s anger swelled up again.

“I’m in her head now.”

“Wh-what’d you say that got her so pissed?”

Mandy dropped her raised fists, and adjusted her half broken glasses.

“I gave her a hint of something she’ll never achieve. A dream she’s living in a falsy fallacy.”

Samantha heard what Mandy said, and clenched a fist.

“You’re really starting to piss me off!”

Mandy casually shrugged with a smug grin.

“What? I’m simply stating what’s true.”

Linnea tried thinking of what Mandy’s implying but couldn’t. She stayed back in the meantime while the two were having their belittle, watching as her good friend continued to face the conflict against the being who’s not only ruined her life, but to the rest of reality.

“Oh Mandy, you’re not going to win. So drop the tough guy act and hurry up for what you have to say because in the end, it won’t mean anything.”

“Oh really now?” Mandy crossed her arms. “I disgrace, S-a-m-a-n-t-h-a.”

“Then out with it! Before I end your lowly life.”

Mandy took two steps forward. With a genuine grin on her face, she gave Samantha a stare which ruffled her nerves.

“If you don’t say anything in the next ten seconds, I’ll eviscerate not only that smug look on your face, but ensure your existence be wiped permanently.”

Mandy rubbed her stomach, and tilted.

“Oh Samantha, if only you’d understand the glory of life than being a mere spectator. As I said, you’re living a false dream, one you wished was one that was true, but instead you fabricated to pretend for it to be true.”

Samantha leaned forward, and began swirling her arms with lightning tailing behind two of her finger tips.

“It won’t matter what you’ll imply! Your death will be a dream that comes to life for me!”

She held her finger tips that flickered shocks of light to her eyes as they were set on Mandy.

“Prepare to meet the light you fear, Mandy.”

“I won’t allow you to… because I not only have to beat you for not just Leon’s sake, but—!”

Mandy placed her hand on her stomach, and knit her brows.

“—for the sake of our child!”

Samantha’s eyes went wide, and the light went out.

“Wh-wha…t?” Samantha said.

Mandy’s eyes glistened as she sliced the air in front of her.

“Not only am I bearing life! Something you’ll never understand, but the life that Leon and I created out of the love we always shared!”

Linnea’s eyes also glistened and she gasped loudly while rushing to Mandy to give her a huge hug.

“You’re-you’re pregnant?! Oh my god!”

Mandy giggled.

“Sorry if I kept it a secret. I just wanted to say it at the right time.”

She turned back to Samantha who appeared frozen in shock.

“So I could rub it on to someone whom I thought would love the news bomb.”

Linnea trembled and brought her hands up, staring at her shaking palms.

“Con-congratulations… but now I’m scared of the repercussions that’ll come next of your reveal.”

Samantha faintly let out a forced chuckle, and slowly dropped to her knees.

“This-this can’t be… true.” she murmured.

“Devastated are we? Don't be Samantha! I achieved the dream you long sought after! And with the man you supposedly loved and created life with!”

Samantha slowly ground her teeth, and twitched an eye.

“Shut up…” she whispered.

“I know the truth behind your daughter too!”

Samantha hung her head and a shadow lingered over her body. Linnea grabbed Mandy’s shoulder to get her attention.

“So it’s true? That Sarah’s a carbon copy of her?”

Mandy’s grin grew.

“I’m not sure of her being a copy, but more so of her being artificially made by her twisted hands: that way, she can at least achieve a part of her dream. But in the end, it’s still not the same.”

Samantha’s eyes quivered beneath the carpet of her hair. She eerily put her hands on her head, and rubbed it. It was gentle at first, then it slowly grew more intense and aggressive.

“What’s the matter?”

Mandy took one more step forward, and took in a deep breath.

“Jealous—are we?!”

Linnea gasped, and Samantha went still. Mandy grunted, and brought her guard back up. She wiped her smug nature, and grew serious again. Linnea never changed her seriousness and was more worried than anything. Seeing Samantha completely frozen and the eeriness of silence unfolding before them, it froze the two's bone marrow as they waited for her response. Minutes went by as they waited, and finally, they saw movement from Samantha. She dropped her hands forward on her knees, and fell face forward. Her butt in the air, and seeming to be in a begging stance, they wondered what she’s up to.

Mandy quickly glimpsed at Linnea who looked petrified.

“What’s the matter, Linnea?”

Linnea was quietly gasping repeatedly, and dropped to her knees.

“It’s… over…” she mumbled.

“Huh? What are you say—?”

Suddenly, they heard a faint deep yet vigorous screechy growl. They two watched as Samantha slowly rose off the ground, and with her head hung, her hair began to float.

“Mandy… we-we gotta—”

Samantha’s head abruptly went backwards, and she faced the sky, and let out a roar that sounded to that of a call for death. A sad, screechy, heart broken being, letting all of her pain be known to existence. Linnea turned white, and began to scoot away.

“Mandy! We have to go now!”

Mandy scrunched her face in confusion. She felt the air begin to change, and saw how the environment began to change. Behind Samantha, a blackhole with a red ring erupted, and began sucking the light out of the world and stretching it behind her. Samantha rose to her feet, and flung her head forward. Being hunched forward, her fingers twitched repeatedly and she began to breathe heavily. She dragged her hands across her head and face, digging her nails into her head. The blackhole behind her began to suck her in, but she stopped it, and it quickly vanished within itself. The two were shaken, and didn’t know what to do next. Linnea got back on her feet, and ground her teeth.

“Envy… it was almost born again.”

Mandy balled her fists, and grinned.

“Hmph, I pushed her that far, didn’t I?”

Samantha panted heavily, and her hands fell off her head.

“Is this the same back then? Linnea.”

Linnea shook her head, and gulped.

“Almost, but a million times scarier and her scream was more putridly saddened.”

Mandy sighed in fear. Samantha began taking breathing exercises to ease her temper. Once she had regained control of her emotions, she brought her gaze back to them, and locked her glare at Mandy.

“I-I almost let myself go there… I almost let her get to me.” she mumbled.

She rose straight up, and shook her head.

“I can’t let her get to me… I can’t allow her to make me feel this way, not her.”

Samantha panted more, and shut her eyes, smacking her palms against them.

“Calm down Samantha… calm down. Freaking calm… down!”

Her sudden shout returned everything back to normal and all the damage they have done to the world was undone. Mandy smacked her teeth, and Linnea drew closer to her friend, waiting to see what Samantha’s next move would be. She took her palms off her face, and regained her breathing one last time. She opened her eyes, and they were crimson which made the two turn paler than before.

“No more games…” she muttered.

Mandy readied herself, and saw the past glaring at her with murderous intent.

“Get ready Linnea!”

Linnea reloaded her handgun and shook uncontrollably.

“Samantha…”

Samantha regained her emotions, and her face turned still.

“You almost brought out a side of me I wish not to express—especially to the likes of you, Mandy.”

Samantha’s posture straightened and she put her hands to the side of her body. She stood still like a statute and Mandy raised a brow. She saw so many openings to where she could attack her and for a minute, she was keen on it. But, quickly, she knew it was a trap. In the growing ambience of silence, in the blink of an eye, Mandy was crushed, somewhat caught in something's grip. She loudly grunted, and was risen off the ground, chucked away, and slammed against the earth.

“MANDY!” Linnea screamed.

It was like the same when that Exorcist lady fought her! An unknown force that she uses to attack her enemy. Linnea thought.

Mandy gagged a pool of blood. Her body was dragged, and in the way she was being dragged, she appeared to be in the clutch of something, something no one could see. Mandy screamed as she was swung around, slammed onto buildings, shot through, pummeled onto the ground as if her body was wrapped by rope and cowboyed around. Mandy’s eyes turned white when she rose to the sky, and flung into a building. Linnea went to where she was thrown to, but she saw her aura explode out of the building, destroying the skyscraper and she was livid. A bloodied mess, Mandy let out a war scream, and pulled her right fist back.

“WHATEVER YOU ATTACKED ME WITH, SAMANTHA! AS LONG AS YOU’RE THE DEFENSILSE AMATUER THAT YOU ARE, I’LL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES!”

Shooting her fist forward, and vastly approaching Samantha, letting out one more powerful scream, Mandy was suddenly punched in her jaw and launched away. She crashed into the ground, and lay in her crater, wondering who had just punched her. Growling, she weakly sat up, and wiped her mouth.

“Who-who did that?!”

Taking her eyes to the sky, she saw the figure float down to Samantha's side, and she immediately flew out of the crater. Then, she was able to see her culprit, and it made her jaw drop.

“No… h-how?”

Standing beside Samantha was her daughter, Sarah. Her eyes also crimson but empty, she stood like a doll. Linnea was also shocked to see her present. The two quickly regrouped.

“I-I thought she was taken away?!” Linnea shouted.

Samantha walked behind her daughter, and put her mouth to her ear.

“Physically, she has been. But, as long as she’s not in any danger…”

The two simultaneously took a breath, and turned their eyes to Mandy.

“As we breathe the same air, see the same reality, we are present no matter the circumstances.” they said in unison.

Samantha wrapped her arms over her daughter’s shoulders, and frowned.

“For we are one, Mandy.”

Samantha leaned into her daughter's ear while Mandy looked rabid.

“Show her the skills that your precious father has taught you, my beloved.”

Sarah’s mouth gapped and she launched herself out of Samantha’s clutch.

Mandy yelled as Sarah shot her right fist at her. The two collided fists, sending horrific shockwaves that shattered the dimension. They viscously threw blow after blows, blocking each others attacks on equal terms. Samantha’s crimson eyes glowed, and Sarah’s did as well. She pushed more for Mandy to block and retreat as Sarah’s punches were growing tenfold.

“Sarah! Snap out of it!” Mandy shouted.

Sarah sent her right leg to the side of Mandy’s face which she blocked.

“Don’t make me have doubts of what you are more than I already concluded!”

She headbutted her, which sent her away.

“You’re not your mother… you can’t be.” Mandy said.

“You need help?!” Linnea shouted.

“No! I’ll handle her for a bit. Just find a way to distract Samantha.”

Samantha brought her gaze to Linnea and she immediately began launching a barrage of attacks at her. Nothing could get through whatever barrier she had around her. Every attack vanished, disintegrated or was shrunk to nothing. But Linnea continued while Mandy was having an equal battle with the girl who claimed that she’s not her mother, but her own person. Entrusting her words, Mandy had to find something to snap her out of her doll-like state, but she wasn’t getting through her.

“Come on! Sarah!”

Sarah grew distance between them, and threw her fist forward, shooting a giant trail of hot fire towards Mandy. Mandy growled and flew up away from the oncoming attack. Mandy saw the stream of fire eviscerate its way through skyscrapers, melting everything in its path. Sarah appeared behind, and wrapped her arm around Mandy’s neck. Mandy gagged, and tried breaking free from her clutch.

“Sa-Sar…ah!”

Sarah grew her clutch, and Mandy felt her windpipe crushing more and more by the second. Mandy managed to turn her head a little for Sarah to hear what she had to say.

“Sa…rah, you’re being controlled. Pl-please, stop this.”

She got nothing, but instead made Sarah put her other arm beneath her ribs, and started putting pressure on them. Mandy’s eyes were huge, and she felt her life draining.

“You… are you! Yo…u said it-it yourself!”

Sarah’s eyes blinked for a second, and she let off her ribs.

“You’re your…. Own being! You’re not your wretched mo-mother.”

Sarah repeatedly blinked, and began twitching an eye and gasping.

“I’ve seen it, I’ve looked you dead in your ey-eyes! At first… I thought you were her, but getting to know you—I knew you were separate from her, Sarah.”

Sarah gasped, and Samantha quickly took a glance at them, growling.

“Because like you said… you’re Sarah, and you're more relatable to your father than her!”

Sarah let go, and clutched her head. Samantha did the same and she collapsed to her knees. Sweat profusely drained from her forehead, and she let out the same scream earlier that sent chills to the two women. Sarah also screamed, and her aura exploded out along with her mother. Both in the beginning shared the same flame around their bodies until Samantha’s was slowly transitioning to blue. Linnea used the opportunity to rush her, and pulled off her Christian pendant from her necklace, stuffing it into Samantha’s skirt pocket. Linnea shouted, and casted a spell that was summoned from the sky, and blasted its way down to her. Samantha wasn’t fazed, but rather annoyed and brought her eyes to the sky, letting out a screeching painful scream. Sarah did the same, and Linnea’s attack was destroyed, and Sarah once again attacked Mandy, punching her in the face, abs, and super kicking her to a skyscraper.

Mandy gagged out another pool of blood, but chuckled.

“I knew it…”

Sarah crashed with Mandy, and the two were dug into the skyscraper building. Sarah’s cold gaze made Mandy frown, but she felt happy knowing that she’s different from her mother, but also shared something similar which gave her an idea.

“Soul huh?” Mandy murmured.

She reached behind her skirt, and felt her dagger.

“I’m sorry, Sar-Sarah.”

Sarah leaped onto Mandy, throwing straight punches that rocked the whole building as Mandy avoided them from colliding them with her face. Sarah retracted as much as she could with her right arm, and she grit her teeth, launching it forward. Mandy yelled as her fist was an inch away and Sarah had abruptly paused. She let out repeated gasps that whispered into Mandy’s eardrums. Mandy’s arms trembled, and she saw that her dagger was dug into the side of Sarah’s stomach. She saw her white shirt swelling in red where she was stabbed into, and Sarah let out a tear. Mandy also teared up, and shook.

“I’m-I’m… sorry.”

Back on the ground, Linnea was just smashed into the ground by the invisible force that was beating Mandy into a pulp earlier. She groaned with pain and got on fours. She brought her head up to Samantha who had a vile grin on her face, but seemingly conflicted.

“You too will join her…” Samantha said.

Samantha suddenly gasped, and felt something wet grow around the side of her stomach. She rubbed her fingertips on the area, and brought them up for her face to see her own warmth, glistening upon her eyes. She loudly gasped, and took aim with her eyes to the building where her daughter was just in with Mandy.

“You… you…”

Samantha brought out a tear, and ground her teeth.

“M…andy… Mandy… MANDY!”

Mandy and Sarah walked out of the hole of the building, and Sarah was gently pushed off her dagger. Samantha saw her own daughter falling, and she was about to scream bloody murder until her own blood made her gargle and drop on fours. She puked out blood, and repeatedly gasped for air. She let out a horrendous scream and flung to the sky. Linnea was sent flying away from the force. She grabbed Sarah, and the unknown force had grabbed Mandy again, and swung her around buildings, smashing them, having them fall to the ground. Mandy was launched onto the earth, and became one with it.

“Sarah, my darling…” Samantha muttered.

With Sarah in her arms, the two gently touched the ground, and Samantha held her daughter as the two bled more through their mouths. She rocked forward and back, mumbling words.

“Rest easy, the pain will go away, Sarah.”

Samantha put her hand over her blank eyes, and covered them. She bumped her head against the back of her head, and particles erupted around them. Sarah was turned into white flakes, and blown away where her particles drifted back into the sky, shining it for a moment in daylight. Samantha’s wound had healed, and she put her hands forward, letting out a saddened breath.

“I won’t allow the past to repeat itself.”

While she was in a praying stance, Linnea flew to where Mandy was just climbing out of her hole.

“You okay?!”

She grabbed Mandy, and helped her out of the hole. Mandy could barely stand, but let out a chuckle.

“So it’s true…”

“Wh-what is?”

Mandy barely stood straight, but weakly pointed her finger at Samantha.

“There souls… really are one.”

Linnea was shocked but also not surprised to hear that. She also turned to Samantha.

“That explains why she suddenly bled. Which means you—stabbed poor Sarah.”

“Y-Yeah, I did, with this.”

She pulled out her dagger, and Linnea recognized it right away.

“That’s a blade the Exorcists only carry. Where’d you get from?!”

She grinned while staring at the holy blade.

“It was a gift from my new teacher whom I look up to just like Leon.”

Linnea grabbed the dagger, and observed it.

“So harming Samantha with this could defeat her?”

Mandy wasn’t sure since Samantha was still fully capable of multitasking.

“Could always try, but if Sarah was her weakness…”

Samantha began to stand straight, and they saw her crimson eyes fade back into the platinum ghostly eyes she has.

“Then our ticket to beating her is gone.”

“Fuck…”

Samantha looked dead serious, and Mandy could feel her bloodlust reach her soul. It began to hurt her heart, and she fell to a knee while clutching her chest.

“Lin-Linnea…”

“Mandy, are you dying?!”

“No-not yet, heheh.”

As Mandy struggled to get back on her feet, she rested her hand on her stomach where her unborn child was growing.

“I’m still protecting the life that I carry. Which is why I’m barely fighting at max.”

Her eyes began shaking, and she shut them.

“Even then, I don’t think I’ll make this out alive.”

Linnea grabbed Mandy, and slapped her.

“Don’t you talk like that, you stupid girl! You have a child you and Leon created.”

Mandy smiled, and bumped heads with her best friend.

“I know, and I’m not going to go down that easy. You need not worry because I have one final thing in mind, and if that doesn’t work… well then, it—”

Mandy was pulled away, and she was in the clutch of the unknown force. She was being squeezed, and she screamed in pain as Linnea heard her bones being crushed.

“MANDY!”

Samantha’s eyes were crimson again, and whatever she was using to harm Mandy, she guided it to raise Mandy to the heavens. Risen above the clouds, for her to see a glimpse of Space, Mandy gasped for air, and she was slowly spun, and raised one more time with momentum. She was pummeled back to the earth, and Linnea could see her turn into a meteor making its way to cause a mass extinction.

“MANDY!!”

Mandy’s body was scorched and set ablaze as she fell back down below the atmosphere. She had tears coming out her eyes, but they quickly evaporated before they could stain her face. Linnea watched in horror as the bright light that brightened the world, was her friend nearing back down. She cried loudly, and Mandy made an impact, thus creating an explosion that would’ve wiped all life on earth. The explosion was catastrophic, and destroyed everything in its path. Samantha walked into the light and fire, and had a still serious face. Linnea covered herself in a barrier while the momentum of the explosion had settled. Mandy lay there, defeated, broken, but the gleam of hope was still shining in her eyes.

“Leon…” she muttered.

Remembering the time they spent early on, to the last moments before this scuffle, it made her realize just how much beating Samantha will mean for them. She quietly cried while her body ached, and bled. Samantha hadn’t moved from her spot since then, and waited for Mandy to come out of her new grave. Mandy loudly grunted as she did her best to get back on her feet. Crying, falling multiple times, she finally managed to get back on her feet, and let out a loud frustrated yet saddened scream. Samantha felt her sorrow, and for a moment, her fingers twitched in sympathy but she brushed it off, and got ready. She raised two finger tips, and Mandy brought her face forward, letting Samantha see her glint, and the last remaining hope she had intact within her eyes.

“SAMANTHA!”

Mandy exploded, and she was at max strength, and was putting everything into the attack she cherished using: The same Leon uses. The whole empty world began to shake, and debri rose to the skies along with every building as Mandy continued powering up. Linnea wanted to run in and join, but Mandy yelled “NO!” to her. Linnea watched as her best friend was breaking her limits. Mandy’s palms ignited, and everything shook more violently, like the world was ending. Scraps of metal, buildings floating to the sky, everything that wasn’t the two eerily floated from Mandy’s immense power. Samantha kept calm, and a small spark ignited above her finger tips.

“Samantha! I will not let you destroy what I have created!”

Mandy’s aura expanded, swelling, cutting the earth as more of her power rose.

“Compared to you, you miserable Witch! I can carry on life, cherish it, and share it with someone I love!”

Samantha frowned, and lowered her finger tips for a moment.

“You’ve done nothing but live a false life. A dream you’re pretending that’s perfect and real, when in fact it’s just as fabricated as the one you see in your sleep.”

Samantha’s eyes sunk, and she turned away.

“I will do everything in my power to protect the child Leon and I created, and ensure they live in a world where you would be no more than just an idea…”

Mandy's power had broken, reached its new limit, and she rushed forward like a shooting star.

“SAMANTHA!”

Mandy yelled as she was nearing close to Samantha when a sudden humongous flash of light combined with Mandy. The world flashed in a display of white and blue, blinding Linnea. Mandy’s light was pushed away, and eventually, obliarated. A single loud thunder clap went off as silence came back. Her light faded away, and Mandy was nowhere to be found. Samantha was in her lightening bending stance, her finger tips forward, and softly blinked as the world returned its darkened sad colours. Linnea lowered her hands, and found her friend gone, which made her scream in sadness. She dropped to her knees, and wept.

“Mandy!”

White particles along with blue dust had drifted around the area, and blew past Linnea’s body. Samantha stuck her hands out, and caught some. She appeared sad, and opened her hands, letting the remnants of what Mandy was, be blown away by the cold winds. They drifted, flew off in the distance, and eventually disappeared into the sky. Linnea cried and cried as her friend's soul had left the earth.

“Mandy…”

Samantha let one tear roll down her face, but quickly wiped it off. She took a quick breath to cool her nerves, and walked to where Mandy was last seen before the flash. She kneeled down, and massaged the earth. Linnea aggressively got up, and saw Samantha kneeled on where her friend was last seen.

“You monster… YOU DEVIL!”

Samantha’s mouth was gapped, and her eyes were blank.

“I didn’t… want—”

“Samantha! You’re dead! And I swear I’ll be the one to carry Mandy’s wish.”

Linnea pulled out the dagger, and her handgun.

“I swear I’ll beat you… som-somehow.” she nervously said.

She saw Samantha pick up Mandy’s glasses, and wipe them.

“You put those down, you wicked Witch!”

Samantha got back up, but also saw one of her earrings and decided to pick that up as well. She mysteriously put it on, and let out a sad moan.

“And now you wear her jewelry?! Just to mock her! I’ll show you!”

Linnea whispered spells, powered up, but Samantha was too deep in saying goodbye to an old rival.

“Mandy.” she muttered.

Linnea let out a warcry, and charged forward with the dagger shooting first.

“This is the end of your story!”

Linnea yelled, Samantha stayed silent, a loud collision echoed into the sky. Samantha’s body was bent backwards a bit, and the dagger Linnea had in front, was barely a centimeter of reaching Samantha’s stomach. They paused, Samantha’s face as still as stone, taking a glance to Linnea’s side face who growled, her teeth grounded. She quickly changed expressions, and her eyes went big, and she coughed out a pool of blood that ran down from Samantha’s shoulder. Linnea let out her last breath, her eyes turned white, and she moaned. Before falling forward, Samantha caught her chin with just her fingertip, and held her lifeless body in place.

“You wouldn’t have faced your fate if you just walked out the open opportunity I had given you…”

Linnea’s mouth bled, and Samantha pulled out her hand out of her stomach area and out came a pool of warm crimson that steamed, splashed on the ground. Still holding Linnea’s head by a finger, she gently pushed her up to her eye level without taking another glance.

“I never hated you, Linnea… or Mandy.”

Linnea was dead, and couldn’t say anything. To Samantha, this was an opportunity for her to let out what she wanted to say for a while.

“You were the only person besides Leon who wanted to be by my side. If it wasn’t for your stupid brother, then I’m sure, you and I would’ve shared the same friendship that you and Mandy did.”

Samantha’s still face transformed, and she began to mildly furrow her brows.

“But instead, you’d rather die along with her. Such a pity.”

She rose her body more straight while blood still poured out her wound.

“Goodbye… Linnea.”

A brief pause of silence, and Samantha didn’t know what to do next. She then felt something sharp, a hot pain in her shoulder. She shifted her head briefly to it, and saw a glowing holy bullet embed in it. She deeply shut her eyes for a moment, and once she reopened them, she backhanded Linnea away, and her body crashed into a skyscraper. The building collapsed and buried her, leaving Samantha alone at last.

“I really am a horrid person, aren’t I?” she said while digging for the bullet.

She dug it out, and rotated it, and didn't notice Mandy’s earring glowing along with the cross inside her pocket. The glow was faint enough for her to not pay attention but rather stay still, and observe what Linnea had shot her with.

“Your last ditch effort was this? It did nothing but bother me with an itch. What could it be?”

While being distracted, her own realm, and universe was slowly being curtained back into reality. She blinked repeatedly wondering what was going on. She briefly panicked, and now, she found herself dead in the middle of downtown Flint Michigan. Pedestrians wondered why she was standing in the middle of a busy road, cars did honk, but stopped once she was there. Samantha felt all the eyes that once couldn’t see her, finally were able to see the magnificence and beauty of the once known Sin of Envy. This time, not one person breathing had a consequence of seeing Samantha. The world could see her existence once again, and everyone was breath taken. Samantha’s eyes quivered in fear, and wondered how it was possible.

“How…?” she mumbled.

People mumbled words, many began recording, taking photos, and people started coming out of their cars to see the strange beauty frozen with shock. Samantha quietly chuckled without drawing a grin, and swalloed. She blinked erratically, and reached into her pocket when she finally could feel the heat of the cross. She pulled it up to her face, and ripped Mandy’s earring off. She stared at the two objects, and nervously chuckled.

“Mandy… you-you…”

She let the items drop, and they vanished out of thin air. She brought out a peaceful smile, and softly blinked one last time. Her fingers twitched, her arms shook, Samantha basked in the moment.

“You really are smart, aren’t you, Mandy?”

Samantha began to twirl her arms, and dance which had people confused but some clapped. Her dance was elegant, her movements were smooth, and her raven hair glistened beneath the beautiful sunlight. Her eyes shut for a moment, and when opened, people saw their glistening crimson nature.

It looks like you did win in the end, Mandy.

As she twirled more, and spun before taking a pause, with people clapping, many women trying to replicate her amazing moves; Her eyes took aim at the scorching sun, and her finger tips sparked out fire, which made people gasp in amazement.

This is why I bullied you, why I pretended to hate you, why I took you away from Leon because Mandy…

Samantha’s finger tips sparked, and she quickly spun her arms around her, and had two finger tips paused to her eyes with the sun still in her sights.

…I knew you were the right gal for Leon. He deserved you more than I deserve him. Which is why I grew a forceful type of hate for you because in the end, amongst all my wrong doings, the things I’ve done… I always—

Samantha’s face turned cold, and she took a deep breath, and the people around them saw the fiery glow around her, which had them finally go into a panic as her own flame melted buildings around her, melting the flesh off bones, and the earth below her feet.

—Envied you, Mandy.”

Samantha shot her finger tips forward, and a ginormous trail of lightning shot out of it. Blasting its way into and out of the atmosphere, but not without destroying everything in its path. In a second, it hit the sun, and the whole world was flashed from the supernova that occurred. A big bang explosion followed up thus bringing the universe to emptiness, and permanent darkness. All of existence had come to end by the hands of a sorrowed woman who in the end, was envious of the woman she forced herself to hate. A blackhole with a red wring erupted out of the darkness, pale wicked hands reached out, eyes that glowed in crimson, a sad cry erupted: The Sin Of Envy has been born, again.
