CHAMELEON P.O.V:

After Chameleon defeated Breach in... "fighting lessons". Sage decided to train her to control her radiant powers. Not that Chameleon doesn't know, on the contrary, she knows how to control her powers well, but she has to control her emotions, if Sage knew Chameleon's full story.

"Did something happen, Chameleon?" asked Sage as she gave Chameleon meditation classes

"Hmm? Oh n-no. Err- actually, Sage. Yup. It's about that topic at the meeting" Chameleon said as she opened her eyes to face the healer.

"Are you talking about the 'blackmailer'?"

"Yeah. I wanted to know what he did to get the Valorant Protocol to hunt him down."

There was a short period of silence until Sage decided to speak.

"Do you know the multiverse theory, Chameleon?" asked Sage

"Yes... but what does that have to do with the blackmailer?" Chameleon replied with a head full of doubts

"Well, the reason we have to fight our clones is because they came from another land, but you already know that. Viper must have told you about this before you saved us." Said Sage while giving a small laugh at the end of the sentence

"Those were our missions and we had to find out why our Omega Earth clones wanted to steal so much of our radianite, until..." Sage looked away, looking away from the Chameleon

"What happened next?" Chameleon asked with a worried tone in his voice.

"The blackmailer started sending emails and dossiers from all of us, he revealed our identities, our origins. All. I've never felt so humiliated" Finished Sage with a sad look at the floor.

Chameleon felt pity for the healer and took her hand

"It's okay Sage. I will not judge you"

Sage looked at Chameleon and gave a small smile but then disappeared. The healer rose from the floor, helping Chameleon up as well.

"That's all for today, Chameleon. You better get some rest, because tomorrow is going to be a big day" Sage said as he walked to the door waiting for the girl.

"Alright, Sage. Good night..." Chameleon said as he waved at Sage and went on her way to her room.

Chameleon went to use the bathroom, which was inside her room, before going to bed. She took her toothbrush and her toothpaste and went to start brushing her teeth, until she felt a strange chill. Her body started to shiver on its own.

She looked back and there was no one... how strange. She kept brushing her teeth and then she heard something. It's hard to explain what it was, but it was like a woman's whispering voices. Chameleon finished brushing her teeth and she couldn't stop hearing the whispers.

"Hello?..." Chameleon asked checking if she had anyone else in her room.

For a moment, the voices stopped speaking, leaving the agent more and more confused. She went to open her bedroom door, checking to see if anyone was in the hallway or near her room, but she didn't have anyone. For a moment, the shy, short-haired girl thought that one of the agents was planning a prank, but it was just her own paranoia.

She couldn't stop thinking about the blackmailer, despite Sage talking about the enemy's wrongdoings. What were her motives? Her ideals, reasons for using her radiant powers for evil, or has she lost someone close to her?

But Chameleon realized that dwelling on the matter isn't going to change anything, and that she just has to ignore it until the Valorant Protocol takes care of this situation. She's starting to think she's arrived at the wrong time, and that she's going to be a dead weight on the rest of the missions.

She needs to face her fears, but she doesn't know where to start. Finally the girl changed and put on her pajamas and lay down on her bed, closing her brown eyes, being carried away by sleep.

As soon as she slept, a shadow started to come out from behind her bed, this shadow had red eyes in a creepy smile. The shadow looked down and saw the   Chameleon sleeping peacefully.

The shadow descended and stopped right next to the Chameleon, being able to perceive her true form. The shadow was like a cat or a panther, but with red eyes and a lot scarier.

After a few minutes, the shadow flew towards Chameleon, and it entered into her mind sending more strange feelings into the short haired girl.

"        Nightmare! Take her!       "
