Awaken Book 2: Hell's Rejuvenation

Thomas opens his eyes and can't move as his body except his neck and head are frozen. "Don't move. You'll regret it." He hears a voice behind him and he can't turn his head/neck to see who's talking to him. "Strange. You don't have the resistance of a titan, other Titans can't freeze other titans....our bodies would adjust in mere seconds to the negative temperatures but yet you react to it as if you're fine." He says as he sees him face to face. His blue skin, glasses made of ice, crane attached to his side, and a black slightly ripped cloth around his lower body; "No....a hybrid can't exist. You're either one or the other, never both.." he says as Thomas slowly adapts with the ice and merges with his skin. "Where am I? Where's Sim? Who're you?" Thomas asks the doctor as he starts to move and the doctor tosses a robe since his clothes weren't on. "I've never seen a being of yourself....well I got you're a titan so no one has to kill you." He says as he walks out of the room and Thomas follows out behind him quietly. He told him as he sees nothing but pillars of ice and empty rooms made of ice as well. "Where am I?" He says as he sees a woman in a white and blue gown, "You're home." She says as he pauses as he doesn't believe who he sees. "M....mom?"

The mystery girl stands on a top of a building as BenKei meets her up there. She looks off in the distance as she takes off her mask, he sees her black hair curls out and a scar on her cheek. "Haven't seen a monk in a while.." She says as she tucked her hair behind her ear and BenKei sees a earring. "That. Where do you get it from?" He points at it as she jumps in shock. "My mother." She says back to him. "She taught you how to fight?" BenKei asks her, "No. I learned myself for the most part, she died...I met a samurai in Ebon and got this sword from her.." She says as she sees a necklace with a similar design he reveals on his chest. "That....you can't be...." She says as she steps back and BenKei seems confused to her reaction. "My mom made that for you and she said to me at a young age that only one man in her life got a necklace and...." She starts to say as tears run down her face. BenKei stops her from continuing, "My daughter died in front of me by a soul blade, the blade was broken within seconds I couldn't save her and you come here, saying to me that you're my daughter?!" He says as she pushes him out of the way as Garder blows fire on the rooftop. "I'm not done with you yet!" He says as BenKei and her get up and get ready to fight. She steps with her sword an inch off her holster and in a blink of an eye, she puts her sword back in her holster. "Dragon slash: Bloodbath." She says as Garder is riddled with slashes and he falls on his side, bleeding fast. "Dragon Slash was a monk/samurai forbidden style..." BenKei says as she smirks. "You taught it to me."

Mary opens her eyes in Allen's laboratory as one of the medic bots look over her. "Thank god you're awake..." Kenny says as she slowly comes to her senses. "Stabilization: 80%." The bot says as it scans her vitals and wounds. "Ugh....my head hurts..." Mary says as Kenny grabs his bag of chips. "You're possibly the worst display of this species..." Ava says as she walks into the room. "Allen has something for you, follow me Ava." The bot says as it zooms past her and she follows it. Allen lies in the bed, sitting up with his body heavily bandaged as he breathes slowly. Ava walks in a room where Allen's sitting at, "About....time you got here. I got something I think you're gonna need." He says as the bot opens a closet and a large gun and a handle comes up on holsters holding them up. "After the invasion, I got my hands on something before WaveGate closed up..." he says as he coughs hard as Ava smirks with the weapons goes in her hands. "I....you really didn't have to...." Ava says as the bots tend to him. "Supernatural emergency emerges Allen." A bot says as its head opens up into a TV broadcasting a live feed of the News. "Shit....guess we got more on our hands...if I could....damn it..." Allen says as he tries to get up and his wound opens up. "No. You are hurt, we can handle this, nothing I haven't encountered at my homeland, hmph. You won't have much to worry about when we're done." Ava says as Mary and Hope walk in notified to leave with her too. "All we need is a little bit of Girl Power." Mary says as she laughs and they all nod and dash outside.

The stranger walks towards Jazzy and Paige as they are on their guard, "You're not a threat." He says with a cold stare and walks pass them as if they weren't even there. "H-HEY." Paige yells at him and he doesn't turn around but stops to her call. Christi teleports to him and he grabs her hand and breaks it, "AAAHHHH!" She yells in pain as he tries to follow up with a punch but she disappears through a portal. "Hmph..." he says as he continues to fade away from the two other girls. "Who are you?" Jazzy asks as he glares to her and she feels his sadistic nature in his emotionless eyes. "...Holt..." He says as he jumps and flies off to the horizon. "Rude..but I sense more demons coming, we must leave and regroup." Paige says as black wings sprout out and Jazzy creates a floating rock to fly on along with her. There was one building that was collapsing as many people ran away from the demons catching and killing them. A kid falls over a brick and cries over her foot as a bloodthirsty demon lurks over her, growling. All of a sudden, time stops as a girl with green hair walks through the frozen fallen rubble, the kid however keeps crying in fear as she reaches her hand for her. She stops crying as she sees that she was friendly, she grabs her hand, and they both move far from the rubble along with her mom and dad that kept running. "Keep this a little secret, will ya?" She asks the little girl with a wink and they both laugh as she disappears and she snaps her fingers for time to continue. The demon looks around and can't find its meal, the others ran all over and destroy everything in their path.
