The girls getting up from the ground while being in pain. Rex couldn't look at Jesenia. Jesenia looking at him with death still in her eyes and her hand still bleeding.

Angelic: Aish! Why do we have cold hard floors again?

Davana: Not sure...

Jesenia: Rex... Answer me, now!

Rex: ...I thought until Starlight was a little older, I would tell you the truth...

Mia: (Grab her scythe. Eyes twitching.) Can I...

Selina: Let her handle it...

Jesenia: So, that's what you thought. Until our daughter gets a little older, you would divorce me. You... (Gripping her hands to make it even more bleeding.) Get out! Sign the divorce papers and get the hell out of my house! (Shredding tears.) NOW!!!

Rex: (Gasp. Look down.) Understood. (Start to walk away.)

Jesenia: I'm keeping my daughter as well. Don't even come crawling to us ever again. (Shredding more tears.)

Rex: (Shred a tear.) Right... (Enter to his room.)

Jesenia: (Crying. Falls to her knees. Sobbing hard.)

The girls gather around Jesenia and hugged her while shredding tears for her. Next day. Jesenia fell asleep on the couch, dried out tears and hands is bandages. The girls taking care of the house. Mia feeding Starlight.

Becky: (Wiping the counter. Whisper.) Mia, how is Jessy-Chan?

Mia: (Looking at Jesenia. Whisper.) She's still out. Just let her take some time. It's not easy.

Amber: (Sweeping the floor. Whisper.) You think? We're having problems here. We're dealing with a divorce parents and a child who's a few weeks old.

Angelic: (Whisper.) Can I hit someone now?

Davana: (Whisper.) Later.

Angelic: (Whisper.) Fine! (Continue sweeping. Mumbling.)

Davana: (Whisper.) Just until things clear up, we'll be fine.

Door knocked. Becky went and open the door.

Becky: Yone, what are you doing here? You were supposed to be hunting for demons.

Yone: (Enter.) I was until I heard what happen last night. How's Jesenia? (Walk up to Mia and grab Starlight.)

Mia: She's resting right now. She took a really bad tow last night. She broke one of the vases and that make her cutup  her hand. We clean it and bandage it. And then she cried herself to sleep.

Amber: What are we gonna do? Soon enough, word gets out and things might end up bad for the Gem Myths. And our dream.

Selina: (Snap her finger in agreement.)

Yone: (Rocking Starlight.) So what are you girls gonna do? Jesenia might get worse again.

Mia: I'm thinking. Jesenia might lay low for a bit and we need to figure out how are we gonna get the flower up. (Heavy sigh.) 

Angelic: But we have a few weeks old baby in this house and Jesenia won't be able to do anything for a bit.

Yone: Listen, just until Jesenia gets better, you girls have to take charge until then.

Selina: Yone's right. Jesenia needs time and...

Jesenia: I'll be fine.

Everyone turn and see Jesenia up and sitting on the couch.

Yone: Jesenia. (Sit down next to her with Starlight.) Are you ok, orchid?

Jesenia: Yeah. Just tried. (Use her magic to heal her hand. Take off the bandages.) I don't know how long it will take it get it over with Rex. (Use a fire spell to burn the bandages.)

Mia: (Heavy sigh.) You'll work it out. All of us just know it.

Davana: Do you think we should cancel the ceremony? I mean, it is the biggest day of the year and the Flower can only bloom if we have the full Lunari Blood.

Selina: She has a point. Jessy-Chan, what are we gonna do?

Jesenia: ...

Kunoichi #1: (Barge in. Panting heavily.) Generals, Captain! The Gem Myths are under attack!!

Gem Myths & Yone: WHAT?!

Ionia Gem Myths Base.

Gem Myths, in their battle outfits, and Yone seeing everything. Everything getting burned to the ground.

Jesenia: (Panting heavily.) No... No...

Yone: Not good.

Mia: Oh my god. This can't be happening.

Davana: (Wolf ears twitch. Look up.) Flaming arrows coming at 12 o'clock!

They see the flaming arrows and started to dodge them. Becky use her shield spell.

Becky: (Struggling.) It won't hold for long! We need to stop this!

Amber: She's right! Who knows how long it will be before the main base is burned?!

Jesenia: Gem Myths, fire line formation!

Everyone went to the sky and grab a giant bucket of water and pour it all over it. After they clear it out.

Amber: That was too close.

Angelic: But it seems too easy.

Yone: Canary's right. A fire like this can lead into a distraction. One of us can get hurt while our guard is down. Who knows what would happen?

A ball of fire came to Jesenia but Selina pushed her out of the way and got hit. She started to fall.

Gem Myths & Yone: SELINA!!! (Fly over her.)

Yone grab her and everyone landed. Mia checking up on her.

Mia: She's out. She won't wake up for a while.

Mia: Where did that ball of fire came from?

Davana: (Sniffing.) Humans? (Ears twitch again. Gasp.) Incoming!

Everyone gather their weapons and battle yell. At night, every single Gem Myths base is complete burn to the ground. Jesenia woke up and see everything.

Jesenia: (Panting. Getting up and wince in pain.) Sh*t... (Grab her weapon. Started to walk.) Girls... Yone... Where are you? (Stopped and see their bodies and weapons. Panting fast.) No... No, no, no, no. no... (Shredding tears. Fell to the ground. Crying. Realize.) Starlight... (Get up and run to the house.)

Inside the House.

Jesenia: (Barge in. Panting. Wince in pain. Hear Starlight crying. Run to the crib. Sigh in relief. Start grabbing her.) I got you, honey, I got you. (Start rocking her and shushing.) It's ok. (Panting.) We need to get out of here. (Start grabbing some stuff. Put her hoodie on and exit the house.)

The Stables.

Jesenia: (Walk up to her horse.) Jiji, come on, we're getting out of here. (Climb up.) HYAH!

Jiji neigh and started to run. They run to a of a village. Jesenia scouts the area for anything and pull the strap holders.

Jesenia: Whoa. Whoa, girls. (Climb off. Look at Starlight sleeping. Sigh in relief. Enter the inn.) Excuse me, a room for two please?

Shopkeeper: Of course.

A scream came of out nowhere. Jesenia turn around and eyes darken.

Shopkeeper: There it goes again.

Jesenia: What you mean?

Shopkeeper: The Ronin around here been difficult for us. They keep attacking everyone here.

Jesenia: Hm? Does anyone help?

Shopkeeper: Yes, the Shinsengumi. Heard of them?

Jesenia: (Remember.) Yes. I have heard of them. Swordsmen that are organized the military.

Shopkeeper: That's right.

Jesenia: Hm...
