"Hey, do you guys have names?" Ro asked, the two members ignoring her and pulling out weapons. The zombies ran over and the members started rapidly killing them. The trio cheered as the undead numbers started being culled until they were either dead or far away.

Joey: Why couldn't we have just gotten them from the beginning.

Joey, Ro, and Mat followed the two to the church, "Back to what I asked, do you have names? I'm Ro, this is Mat, and you already know Joey." Ro asked, the responses being that the blonde was Jael and the Asian was Ryu.

MatPat: So like the team of badasses that we are, we make our hero walk over to the church.

"Do you want us to help?" Ro asked as they entered The Carnival Master's domain. He turned around to face the S.A.E. members and snarled. "How many times do I have to kill you for you to learn?" he asked while smirking. Ryu ran over in a rage and started to attack him. He was grabbed and tried hitting The Carnival Master in the abs, before being flipped onto the ground and grabbed by the arm.

Ryu was pinned to the wall by the neck when Jael ran and slashed The Carnival Master in the arm. He smirked, turning back to Ryu, seeing blood on the cut. Ryu used his distraction to hit The Carnival Master in the arm, getting him free. The Carnival Master started getting beaten when he used a magic shield to push the members away. He used more magic to grab the members and slam them into the walls and floor.

The fight raged on, with the members getting some hits in, but The Carnival Master kept beating them down. Their weapons dropped and The Carnival Master held them both to the walls. He focused on them, so he missed Mat and Ro placing the Life Stones in Joey's hands and grabbing the weapons. Joey could see what his friends were doing, "Hey!" he called out, the horned humanoid turned to his direction.

Mat ran around to the church's side entrance and sneaked behind The Carnival Master. He used Jael's knives to slash The Carnival Master's wrists, releasing the S.A.E members. The Carnival Master looked down at his arms and looked up to see-

BANG!

Ro shot at The Carnival Master's elbow using Ryu's gun he kept at the hip. "That was for Teala." she spoke with venom.

BANG!

The other elbow was hit, "That was for Nikita."

BANG!

There goes a knee cap, "That was for JC."

BANG!

There goes the other, "That was for Mat." her voice started to waver.

BANG!

Right in the stomach, "That was for Roi."

BANG!

Into the lung, "That was for Safiya." her eyes started to water and her voice wavered more.

BANG!

Into the other lung, "That was for Manny."

"And that was for Richie!" the final four words highlighted by another bullet, one in each eye, one in the nose, one in the neck, and then-

BANG!

The final bullet in the mag flew right into the brain. The Carnival Master, covered in wounds and bullet holes fell to the ground. Ro started to sob and scream in every emotion in her head. Anger, sadness, happiness, despair. Mat dropped the knives, ran to Ro, and hugged her. Joey placed down the Life Stones and joined in hugging her as Jael and Ryu got up.

Joey: Seeing Ro finally kill The Carnival Master, I am just so relieved. He's finally gone.

Ro stood up and wiped her tears as Jael looked at them, "This is what you came for, Joey." She pointed at the crystal inside the monster's chest.

MatPat: Jael points out that this glowing stone in his chest, that's for Joey, somehow.

"The spell has been broken. Your contract is complete. Everlock now has a future." Jael finished before she and Ryu grabbed their weapons and left through the side entrance.

Rosanna: We are leaving and we are leaving alive.

The group smiled at each other and made a group hug. "We did it! We freaking did it!" Joey exclaimed, jumping up and down. "Let's get out of this stupid town!" Mat laughed before they looked at the Life Stones on the floor. They each grabbed one and placed it around The Carnival Master, magic spewed out of them and the artifacts, freeing the town.

MatPat: We make our way out of the church just as dawn is breaking.

The group enters the lounge and sees blue hands turn red and disappear. On the table they disappeared from was Blueberry, Briag, and Blanche, one of each dead guest's tarot cards, an item on top of the cards, an envelope, and two pieces of paper. Ro grabbed both of the papers and read the first one out loud.

Ro, Mat, and Joey,

Thank you for not abandoning this offering, I expect Mat to collect my clothes later. Ro, please keep Braig safe until I possibly come back, maybe, hopefully? On each of the cards is an object from each of the dead to give to their family.

Teala's weird hoop earrings.

Nikita's headband recovered from Manny's head.

JC's weed, yes he actually brought some, it was in his pants pocket.

Roi's necklace and a tassel.

Safiya's sunglasses.

Manny's necklace.

My glasses.

Give each item and card to the families, I entrust this task to Joey.

Inside the envelope is the letter I wrote while Ro was in The Toxic Lair Challenge, give this, the other paper, my clothes, my card, and my item to my wife. I also request you to bury our bodies in the unused field next to the church. Here are the epitaphs they were okay with.

Ro put the paper in her coat pocket and looked at the other one. The top read "Lyrics for Original Song of these events."

No One Escapes

[Verse 1]

I have so many, so many regrets
So many lives
So many broken ties
I wish for my old life
Wish I could fix my strife

(Instrumental Break)

[Chorus 1]

'Cause no one truly escapes the night
Oh, won't you help me escape the night
Oh, baby, help me escape the night
Ah~
