Upon returning to the city, Nate gathered his congregation made up of Great Assembly memebers, Kodies, and stragglers from the street. IT'S TIME EVERYONE!... get locked , and loaded. Are the children, and care givers gone?.. Yes sir!,..replies Petunyah. Good!,..we definitely don't want them around for this! For what?,..asks Sue. Prepare your Spirited Winds Sujanae Green, we're about to send whatever is in your cousin. They go to the basement area where Jeromia is restrained. Focus your Glow on your cousin please!,..says Nate. Ok...here it goes! When Sue's glow hits Jeromia, he begins to shake violently as the glow reverberates all over him. One of those jackal looking mosters seems to burst forth from within him, and then disapates with a loud shriek! ........Cousin-Auntie Sue!?,... Is that you?,..what's going on? Sue falls on Jeromia squeezing him tight crying with tears of joy. Sorry to break up this nice moment, but we are most likely going to be invaded by some really bad evil things any second now! Everyone is running around gearing up. Nate is stashing a plethora of weaponry in his battle gear. He hands Sujanae a few pieces. What are these?,.asks Sue. These are sound stars,..or shuriken if you want to be technical! And is that a nerf gun?..asks Sue with a slight smirk. Yes it is a modified nerf-gun!,..replies Nate. Look!,... the Sound throwing stars emmit a frequency aiken to prayer which those things can't take, and the balls are filled with purified water, and oil. Oooooh holy water, and prayer!,..says Sue lightly taunting Nate. It's too much to explain, and go into right now! !!KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSH!!Everyone in the hospital side of the building, is quaking with fear as one shockwave is felt,....then another,....then the area where they are hiding is twisting like twirling toilet water, then it explodes wide open!! It's PERSIBLE!... I AM PERSIBLE THE LUCID!...JUHMBATA'S RIGHT HAND!,... !!ASA NATHAN AIRS DRAKE!!....WE FINALLY FOUND YOU,...AND YOU HAVE BEEN WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE,......AND WE FIND YOU A MENACE TO PROTOCOL, THEREFORE YOU AND YOUR ILK MUST BE DESTROYED!! The Jackals and sentinals behind Persible rush forward attacking everyone that was held up in the abandoned cathedral, and psychatric hospital. Try as they might to ward them off, it's a blood bath. Sue looks on in shear horror as she has never seen normal people take on these things before. Everyone fights with all their might, but the onslaught is too much! The majority of them are no match and are helplessly massacred.   

The battle is fierce, but Nate's side is clearly loosing. Sue and Nate have no problem repelling the minions that attack them. Kokou easily sends any that come his way.  Jeromia is covered in attackers , but his metal armor keeps him from being injured badly. Nate fights valiantly, but also watches with a sinking heart as his people are taken out one by one.  For everyone of theirs they can manage to take down, there seems to be a hundred more.  Soon it is dwindled down to less than ten of Nate's people remaining.  !!BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!,..laughs Persible.  It is finished!  Now is the end of your little pathetic irritating troop!.........!!BE GONE!!  NOW!...DARKNESS SPREADING!,....MANIPULATE!!            !!SHWOOM......SHWOOM......SHWOOOWM-SHWOOOOWM!,......!!PWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMM!!  Persible's arms power up with immense dark energies.  He pushes it toward the area where Nate, and the others are.  The entire space where they were standing swirls like a black hole, then explodes outward leaving embers and a circular void of empitness.  It is as if he erased a tiny bit of existence itself from the world.  Legions!....return!...says Persible with a slightly evil grin, as he feels he has great news to report back to Juhmbata.  He has just put away Juhmbata's greatest threats.   

On a beautiful tropic island a portal the size of a door opens, and many figures fall through. Oof!.......oof!....!!AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!...  What was that!?....Where ARE we?...    Are we?,....I've done this before!  This,...this is that....uh....effectual dimension-door thing!,..says Sujanae.  Oh my god!,..THIS ISN'T THE ONE WITH THE BUILDING SIZED ANIMALS IS IT!!?  Calm down!,..calm down!,..replies Nate.  We still have a couiple of problems that followed us here!!  He looks over at Kokou who has a Jackal still trying to kill him.  Kokou grabs its' head and squeezes until it pops.  It then disentigrates into thin air.  Jeromia has one on him as well, until he grabs it by the throat, and runs his hand through its' chest......  fizzzzzzzle.  It too disentigrates into thin air.  Iron cotton looks over at Sue with a smile afterwards.  That's gross nephew!,..says Sue.  What is this place Nathan?,..asks Petunyah.  It's one of a few dimensional planes on the other side of the Effectual Door!,....!!WAIT!...How exactly do "you" know of this place, Sue?  I've been through here before!,..I mean not THIS one!,..this place is a paradise!,..Well the other was one too, but it had gi-normous sized monsters!,..there was a huge psycho-mind-bending bird, a giant screaming lion-thing,..and VERY POWERFUL indigenous warrior people!....And...  Whoa!,..whoa!...How?...You glowers had access to the effectual door!?,...that's not supposed to be!,..  So you've actually done this before!?..says Nate with a perplexed look on his face.  We did!,..says Sue shaking her head yes, with a playful smile.  What's the problem with glowers knowing about all this?,..asks Petunyah.  It's,..it's ...ugh!,...wow!,..You're an interdimensional being Kokou, could you explain this?,..says Nate.  Not really!,..you mortals aren't supposed to know about such things!,..I can't say anything!  Ooooh-kay!,..replies Petunyah... anyway this place is beautiful!,.. And that breeze is magnificent!  Yeah!, but we don't know what effect this place may be having on us?,..replies Nate.  Are we losing time, gaining time....is it effecting our minds, bodies,..who knows.  Stop thinking like a scientist dude!,..replies Sue.  Although I believe the last time we came we spent a week, but a year had passed in our world....yeah we gotta get outta here now!  How do we even get back?,.asks Petunyah.  With this!,..says Nate pulling out what looks like a television remote controller.  He points it outward, presses a button, and another portal opens.  They all step through, but Petunyah hesitates.  Boy it would be nice to stay here...  C'mon cuz!...says Sue beckoning to Petunyah.....These places seem nice and tranquil, but I'm sure they're un-natural for us!  Petunyah sighs, and walks through.   ......"!!wait!!,.......wait!!,.......don't leave me!!"   Did you guys hear something?,..says Sue  Something like what?,..replies Nate.  I don't know... I could've sworn I heard a voice......saying wait?   We're all here so I doubt there was someone back there?,...besides we're already here, back at the cathedral!... We have to get out of sight before any sentinals see us!! Petunyah begins to cry,.... I can't believe they're all gone!,....All our friends!!,..GONE!!,....And everything we built!,...Destroyed in a matter of mere moments! Tuney!,..we can't stop!,..replies Nate holding back tears.  We gotta keep going!  We won't let their sacrifices be for nothing!,....but right now we gotta find somewhere to lay low for a while!   I know a place!,..says Sue.  How much time do you think has passed?  I guess we'll find out soon enough!,..replies Nate as they all run up the city streets.  Try to avoid big crowds!,..says Nate.   What big crowds?,..replies Sue.  I've barely seen anyone since we've returned.  Yeah!,..where are all the people?,..says Petunyah.  This is New York City!,..There are always people on the streets!!  There go some people!,..says Jeromiah.  Don't let them see us!,..replies Nate.  Why?,..why do we need to sneak around?,..asks Sue.  Those evil muse things like crowds!,..replies Nate, and we aren't prepared to fend off another attack so soon.  Simply put, if we run into Persible again!,..we're dead!  How much farther do we have to go Sue!?   Just ten more blocks and we'll be there.  Hmmmm!,..says Petunyah.  They run up to an abandoned warehouse.  Is this what I think it is!?,..asks Petunyah.  Yeah it's my mom's old place...replies Sue.  Amazing!,says Petunyah...I remember coming here a few times with my dad.  I would've liked to have seen this place in it's glory days!  Glory days?,..says Nate....Looks like a regular ol' warehouse to me.  Petunyah, and Sujanae blurt out at the same time....  IT WAS 7TH HEAVEN!  Ok..ok..alright, alright!,..replies Nate,... Well then...supplies?,..food?,..anything like that lying around?  Sorry, but after the last renovation, anything like that was taken out., replies Sue.  Well then,,..says Nate to Kokou... Lil' tough guy you're with me.  We'll try to see what we can rustle up.  Nah!,..you don't know the neighborhood like I do!,..says Sue.  The lil' tough guy's with me!,..I have means, and besides if something happens we can "Spirit Wind" the monsters away!  Sue is smiling as she and Kokou leave the warehouse, but Nate doesn't care for her flippant attitude toward the Spirited Winds technique.
