After they were all tired from basketball, they noticed a hut on the top of the hill near the river and so they went to investigate. Inside was a witch that looked about 20, mixing a cauldron. "I didn't expect any visitors today! Come in, friends!" She said, with a polite tone. They all entered the hut and looked around. There were elixirs and witch-y stuff everywhere. Orin found this really cool, and liked the style but maybe not as much as Max who was trying to hit on the witch already. "Is this your house?" Asked Munch, curious. "It is indeed, friend. May I ask of your names?" They all told the witch their names while she brewed her cauldron. After they told her, she responded with "Pardon my rudeness, I should've said my name first. I am Blair, and since I dont get many visitors, you can take a potion each if you'd like" They all looked around for a potion they liked the look of
Sonnie chose a sleeping potion
Max chose a pink potion hoping it was a love potion although Blair tried to point out that it was an explosive potion.
Orin did not choose a potion as she thought it would be rude.
Munch picked up a full healing potion.
And finally, the mysterious girl (whom has now been discovered to be called called Lunos) chose a strength enhancing potion. "I would really appreciate it if you all came back, so please consider it, okay? It gets quite lonely here." They all nodded their heads and said "THANK YOU!" In unison and set off, promising Blair that they would return.

With their new elixir, they decided that maybe they shouldve stayed for a while so that they could have some more. "I can't wait to try this potion out.." Said Max with a perverted smile, plotting who his victim will be before being chopped in the neck and knocked out by a fully covered Orin. He fell to the ground while mumbling "Mellorine.. mellorine.." Orin decided to carry him on her back, then realised that one of them was missing. "We're missing Lunos, do you think she stayed behind?" She said in a seemingly calm tone. "She's probably doing her own thing." Answered Munch. "She'll be back at night." Meanwhile, Lunos was fighting for her life against the same demon that sang Backstreet Boys and tried to do a real or cake test on a baby. They clashed for hours and eventually Lunos was too tired to fight him, so she ran to try and fall back to her friends. Blood was running down her face and her right arm was shattered. She decided to drink the elixir for one last resort because it didnt seem like her friends were anywhere near. She dashed at ace and chopped one of his arms off with ease. 'These potions are really effective' she thought to herself, while dicing up Ace. Ace decided that he was having fun, so he let Lunos live another day. She knew that he would come back another day though. She ran back to her squad, bruised and injured, where she fell to the ground unconscious. Munch patched her up with bandages while Orin sucked the blood up like a vacuum. "My bad, I thought she would be okay." Admitted Munch, awkwardly, as if this was his fault.

Munch, the kind golden boy he was, began to cry for his friend. He believed that he could have altered this outcome. "Who did this to you?" He asked, seething with rage. Lunos, gasping for breath, answered with "The... weirdo demon.. that we keep seeing." She coughed up some blood as Munch set her to sleep. Munch then got up and followed the trail of blood without telling anyone he was leaving. He left Orin to treat Lunos while he 'went to chop some wood'. Eventually, he found Ace who was fully healed and laughing to himself like a maniac. "You come to avenge your friend?" He asked, cackling. "That's correct." Answered Munch. "What is your name."
"Ace."
"My name is Munch, you can remember it when you're in hell."
"Hoho, I like your attitude.. Have you forgotten all the times we've fought, buddy?"
"We aren't friends, you're only alive because I pitied your poor existence."
"Then, come at me.."
Ace foolishly struck first, allowing Munch to counter him and slice one of his arms off at the beginning of the fight. His thunderclap and flash had improved as his rage grew. They clashed until they were both covered in blood, although it seemed Ace was winning due to his regeneration. "ISN'T THIS FUN, GOLDEN BOY?!" Screeched Ace, laughing like a maniac. Munch was unamused and decided to land a finishing blow on Ace. The attack to end this all. If he lost it all, what did it matter? He didn't have a goal from the start. As he charged his attack, so did Ace. Their energy rumbled the ground as something big was about to happen. It seemed like Munch's mask was an energy restraint, as it broke off and his energy doubled. "I WILL KILL YOU, ACE!!!!" He screamed, as they both laid their final attacks on eachother, a godspeed thunderclap and flash against an exploding blood barrage.

As he lunged towards Ace, Munch remembered his friends and his past. He had no problems his whole life, so it was only fair that he had this one problem right now. He was going to live. Meanwhile, his friends had left Orin to take care of Lunos and were searching for him after gaining a lead from Orin that he had went to fight for Lunos due to his rage. They eventually saw and heard the explosion and ran towards it which took them about half an hour. When they got there, what they found was a shattered mask, a broken katana and two arms that smelled like beans. They remembered Munch saying "The day I take off my mask is the day I die." They concluded that Munch had died. They gathered the shards of the mask and pieces of the katana and buried him where they think he died, then placed two sticks in a cross formation to mark his grave and mourned his death. Rest in peace, Munch. They travelled to Blair's hut to get some more elixir after this, which took them about an hour but after they were finished, they had a bag full of potions and Sonnie had seen Max act 'normal' around a girl for once as he was still sad over the death of his friend. They returned to Orin, who had taken off her hood and was taking care of Lunos and broke the news to her. She began to sob, but she did not cry as she did not want to look weak.
