**messages and updates at the bottom. please read**

3rd Person POV

Brooklyn (with Maddie on her hip) and Sara walk through the halls of the waverider. A green twinkling fairy flitters through the air

Mona bumps into Sara

"Whoopsie!" Mona exclaims. "Hey! You haven't happened to see an ogre wandering around about yay high, likes to grunt, drink beer?"

"Ask Rory." Sara tells her, annoyed

Mona runs away while Brooklyn and Sara continue through the waverider hallways

"Captain, I've located Neron." Gideon announces as Sara, Ava, and Brooklyn crowd around the console. Brooklyn bounces Maddie up and down to keep her occupied

"Now live on Capitol Hill, where the Palmer X CEO is testifying before the Senate subcommittee." A news reporter announces

"Look, I know Senator Wellington doesn't believe that it's up to the private sector to intervene in such a unprecedented crisis." Ray-Neron says. "But I should mention, not a single one of my subscribers has been harmed in a monster attack."

"Senator, do you care to respond?" A man asks

"This bloke is just trying to scare folks into downloading his evil, soul-sucking app." The senator says. "There ain't no such thing as monst--" His arms erupt into tentacles. "This isn't me! I'm not doing this!" He morphs into a kraken

"Like I said, they could be hiding anywhere and only you can stop them." Ray-Neron says into the camera

Moments later, Sara and Mick are on the scene as the kraken beats more people up. Chaos continues to tear through the assembly hall as people scream and run away

Sara kicks the magical sceptre out of Fairy Godmother's hands and it falls to the ground, the glow dying. The kraken falls to the ground, morphing into Charlie who was unconscious. Charlie comes to just in time for an officer to hold a gun at her

Mick knocks the officer out and grabs Charlie, carrying her away

"Today's attack at the U. S. Capitol has sparked worldwide panic and paranoia over the threat of magical creatures." Another news reporter announces

"Enough, Gideon." Sara says and the console turns off

"Where is Neron in all of this?" Ava asks. "Why isn't he responding to his magical-creature alerts?"

"What alerts? All the creatures are here on the ship." Brooklyn points out

"You know what?" Ava says. "It doesn't even matter. Neron's shown the world that anyone can be a monster. People are turning on each other. Everyone's terrified."

"I thought Neron wanted to collect souls." Sara says. "How does hacking the app only to let it fail get him what he wants?"

"It's not about souls anymore." Charlie says, walking in. "It's something worse. Well, they didn't share their endgame, but from what I could figure out, they don't give a fa about ruling hell. It's actually fear that they're after."

"Why?" Sara asks

"Fear is power." Charlie says. "It's energy. And thanks to me, they have a wallop of it to muck about with."

"That might explain the strange meteorological event forming over Washington, D. C." Gideon announces

"Right above the Time Bureau." Ava says. "Gideon, do you have a visual?"
