"What in the hell just happened?!" The stupid american asked.
"Nikolai is confused....and drunk."
"Vhere are jou?! Come out now!" I shouted. Where the hell did the little brat go? At this point, she's probably gonna go cry to her dead daddy. Pathetic.
"I think she left. Hmm...strange." Takeo mutters.
"We need to find her fast. We've come too far." Dempsey spoke with an oh-so determined attitude.
"Argh! I vas sho closh." I whispered, quiet enough for them to not hear a peep out of me. Suddenly, a bright flash came out of nowhere and everything became white. Nothing was present. The pyramid, the dark hallways, just a white space. A figure appeared in our view, a woman. A old woman, with short, grey hair and piercing eyes that glared at me.
"I see you've been busy. Figured we need to talk. " the woman mummers.
"Who the hell are you?" Dempsey questioned.
"I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of me. Nobody has heard of me. I've been busy. My name is Irene. And I've been working hard to battle the enemy. The real enemy." She response to the last part with a hardened tone. Well jeez, something ticked her off.
"The rerl enemy?" Takeo ponders.
"What the hell do you mean "real enemy" Samantha's the enemy." Dempsey extorted.
"She has been possessed. Deceived. Just as much as Richthofen has." Her eyes point towards mine.
"Jou really believe that shomething is possessing me? Ha! That'sh a laugh." I chuckled. Her face hardened as her glare intensified.
"It is no laughing matter. The girl has suffered enough and luckily I made sure that she was safe." She explained. Dempsey stepped in.
"Wait...you helped her?! Why the fuck would you help that....that monster." Dempsey contorted.
"She is no monster." She growled slightly.
"I would say the real monster is all of you, especially you Richthofen." She glared at me.
"You have violated her life, made her into a living hell and pleasuring your own needs before hers."
"Me? The monster. The little brat wouldn't have been shuch a whiny bitch in zhe first-"
"ENOUGH!" She boomed, the voice pierced through my body like radiation, shaking my entire body. She calmed herself, got to her composure, and replied. 
"You're mental state is the cause of your downfall and everyone around you and it is not safe." She informed.
"Yeah no shit." Dempsey muttered, which I heard, ticking me off.
"All of you have traveled different timelines, different dimensions illegally, of course all of you aren't the only ones that I have to tell this sort of problem." She explained.
"Wait, "time traveled illegally" what the hell does is that supposed to mean?!" Dempsey exclaimed.
"It means that this sort of thing was not supposed to happen, and it shouldn't have happened in the first place, but because this had happened, there really wasn't a choice. The person that wielded the power of time and space is in danger and because of that, you all have access of going through space and time easily. When in reality, it should be guarded by the one person who rules those specific abilities." She explained, looking mournfully. All of us looked at each other with the same confused looks. Takeo steps fourth a little to Irene.
"I'm confused...is it God?" Takeo asked. Her face soften towards him and replied.
"No. Someone below to God, but someone just as powerful as everyone else, if not more powerful. Anyways, all of this will make sense in time. If you wish to see a better day and help save the universe, I suggest you trust me." She spoke.
"Nikolai can't comply with outsiders like you." Nikolai mumbled ending it with a burp.
"How do re know re can trust you?" Takeo asked, while walking towards Irene.
"I have been working by God's side since the beginning of time and the birth of the universe. My father." She mutters the last part. I blinked, looking alarmed.
"Um...what?! God is you father?! But isn't Je-"
"Yes. Jesus is the son of God. Don't fret. In time it will all make sense." She spoke reassuring us like we were little kids to her eyes. Dempsey was right though, There was no way that she could be related to God. Even though I didn't believe in God, and especially how I am not catholic, if I remembered correctly, Jesus was the only person who not only served God, but is the son of God. So how did she fit into being God's child? I became very puzzled. Irene then cleared her throat.
"First things first...raise your hands if Richthofen psychopathic state should be erased from his mental state forever? I do have the ability to completely eradicate his psychopathic demeanor forever." She explained and as I began to turned around, I saw that all three of my teams both raised their hands, and that boiled my blood inside.
"How dare jou. All of jou." I growled, mainly looking towards Dempsey and not the other two.
"Clearly, Richthofen needs help-well, we all do. But Richthofen is mainly the one and possibly the only one who's got some issues." Dempsey explained, darting his eyes towards mine. I twitched.
"I agree. Richthofen must be heeled in every way he can be." Takeo spoke. Not you too.
"I'm not a fan of Richthofen's personality. He's too crazy. Just like my fourth wife. Never shuts up and always acts like a child." Nikolai drunkly mutters.
"Okay, okay. We get it. So, how exactly the hell are you going to get rid of his psychopathic state?" Dempsey looks at Irene.
"Well, you can both start off by holding him down. This might not be pleasant." Irene looks down at her hand.
"Got it." Dempsey quickly replied and grabbed my left arm with his two hands. Then came Nikolai and Takeo.
"What zhe-let me go jou fools! I vill not be erased by zhis feen!" I retorted, moving violently, trying to pry myself out of their grip.
"Shut up! You're not going to be erased stupid." Dempsey yells and aggressively squeezes my arm.
"All of jou unhand me now!! I barked. Irene got closer to me, her arms reaching out.
"Don't get any closer!! Shtay avay from me!!" I shifted backwards, but the others were behind me, so they blocked me from moving away.
"I promise you. You will thank me in time." She spoke before she presses her finger on my forehead, suddenly felt a jolt in my brain. The electric shock showered everywhere, to the point where it got so intense that it blew up like a ball of lightning that was formed and zapped everything that was there inside. I dropped on the ground knocked out for a split second, fluttering my eyes and weakly getting up.
"Richthofen, you good?" Dempsey asked. I was shanking my head while placing an hand on my head the shake off of the jolt. I felt extremely different now, feeling empty and somewhat powerless. I realized that the part of me where I was crazy, not caring in the world, was simply gone from me. Forever. I gripped my other hand and I felt blazing hot, ready to blow up at Irene.
"Vhat. Zhe fuck. Haf jou done to me? What haf jou done?!" I was sprinting towards her trying to pounce on her, but I was pushed back from my team.
"Stop it!" Dempsey growled.
"VHAT HAVE JOU DONE TO ME?!!" I screamed, trying to release myself from the grip of my teams arms. Irene didn't even flinched or moved. She simply just stood there like a statue. Her face was with no reaction whatsoever, staring calmly in my eyes.
"Believe me when I say this, you will change yourself and everything you have worked so hard on. It is time to leave it in the past and time for you to change and improve the universe. In time, you will thank me." She responds, suddenly floating away. I jerked my shoulders, trying to run after her, somehow.
"Get back here!! I vill never thank jou! Never!!" I screamed, kicking and wiggling myself free. The white space grew brighter and brighter and then a flash. We were back on Earth, but we were in a forest.
"Shangri-la?" Nikolai mummers while looking up.
"No. It doesn't look rike it." Takeo spoke. I was still mad. More than mad. Furious.
"She took everything. That...that bitch. What zhe fuck haf jou done to me. All of you! Vhy didn't jou shtop her?!" I spat, glaring at my team. Dempsey stepped in.
"Hey! You've been the cause of all of this. If anything, she's trying to help! Don't think your out of the woods just yet, German!" He barked. My face flushed and I felt like smoke came out of my ears.
"Jou veally think I give a shit! I'm not shapposh to care and I never vill!" I shouted stepped towards Dempsey.
"You should be grateful-oh wait that right! You don't give a shit!" He yelled out sarcastically. My eyes twitch, balling my fist wanting to punch his stupid face.
"Hell you don't even give a shit about your fucking niece!" He calls out.
"Jou don't even care about her ash vell. Besides, She's nothing to me." I growled.
"She will be! Whether you like it or not, it's your fault that you gave up your niece and pulled everyone in this frenzied time traveled bullshit!"
"Shut zhe fuck up and leave me alone!" I shouted, furiously pushing him aside and stomping away from my so-called team. I furiously stomped away to an isolated part of the forest. I began to breath calmly after getting away from the group to be by myself. As I kept on walking, I realized that I was at the end. I looked out from a cliff, seeing the big view of this new place. I knew deep down that we were not from Shangri-la. It was nowhere even close to looking like the hot scorching place. There were mountains far off and lots of trees. There were also fields that were plain and flat. I could see some lakes that were as blue as ever and crystal clear, like it hasn't been touched by any human contact ever. I admired the beauty and it's glorious looks. My eyes fixated on its majesty of a view. I felt at peace. I blinked, coming back to my senses. What the hell is really happening to me? This was not me. I would never loved something like a beautiful view. I couldn't have; I wouldn't even bother caring the area nor even feeling guilty, which I feel like I am already. Irene did something to me, and I couldn't forgive her for it. I still hated her, loathed her. She changed me into someone that I'm not. I clenched my fist, angers at the prospect of my change. This was not me. This was never me. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to move on, but how in the hell am I supposed to do that? There were so many questions flooding in my head, well, I already have a lot of questions that involve with everything that transpired. What was going to happen now? Where was Samantha and is she going to go to another dimension to conquer another earth? Or has she changed in some way from Irene's influence? If so, how was she doing? Mainly, I questioned everything that involved around Samantha and nothing else. Am I starting to care about her? Why though? I sighed as I was whirled with questions upon questions like stacks of paper on a table. It was too much. I decide to go for a walk since it's the least I can do for the time being before going back to the group. Hours passed and it was getting dark, the walk wore me out and I manage to get back with the gang. The entire time I said nothing. Which was strange since I'm always the one that talks a lot and butts in every conversation, but now, I was silent, not saying anything, being an introvert in a degree. I looked up and saw that the darkness was soon approaching. Luckily, light from the fire kept our surrounding brighter.
"So, Richthofen, any idea where we're going?" I heard Dempsey sighing as he walked towards me. I feel silent for a second. I sighed.
"Honeshtly, I don't know." I simply replied. It was now quiet except for the fire that was in front of me as I stared at it.
"Come now. All of you must be thirsty. Nikolai got some vodka! But don't take them all." He mutters drunkly at the end. I wasn't really feeling the need to drink and didn't say anything.
"I rill not drink something that tastes so vial."
"Aww come on Takeo." Nikolai whines.
"I'm getting shome vrest. Jou guys can plan shomething vhile I'm shleeping." I muttered softly and walked away from the group again, but not far away, to find my resting place. I found a space in the corner of a big tree where there was a reasonable large area of moss around and away from the tree and decided that it would be the place to sleep. Luckily it wasn't scorching hot or bitterly cold in this place. Wherever we are. I didn't really need anything the sleep on much less than my hat. I sat down as I let sleep consume my empty mind and my eyes gave it way to close as I was left alone in the darkened woods, but in a peaceful and quiet state of my mind, and I fell into the darkness of my own slumber and slept peacefully.
