~"Mud Town"~

Thomas lands hard on the ground, blocking the demon's heavy attack, Madison flies in and kicks him away and sends a bolt to his chest, causing him to fly off and through the nearby building. Madison goes to Thomas to help him up, "He's tough." He says as he gets up and Madison nods to agree with him. "Agreed. We can take him." She says as Thomas start to have a steam of cold breath come from his mouth. The demon roars as it charges towards them and Thomas charges into him headfirst, waves mixed with fire and ice crack and destroy the road underneath them. "Woah!" Madison says as she sees them collide. Thomas punches the demon in his face three tremendous and grabs his feet as it flies up just to slam him down to the ground, Madison flips over him for a double footed dropkick onto his face. The demon blows fire under her feet and lifts up to his feet as if he was possessed, "Shit..." Thomas says as he blows his ice breath over his feet as it freezes to the ground. The demon melts the ice off as more ice comes back in its place, "Let's go, Madison." Thomas says as Madison charges around as lightning appears all around her as she looks up and springs forward with a sonic boom behind her. "BOLTER'S....KICK!" She yells as she lands a huge kick to the demon's head as the impact goes directly throughout his body and the head explodes. She lands on the other side, slides uncontrollably at first but regains her footing, her lightning aura goes away as she looks back at the body that soon falls back. Thomas walks up to her, "Well shit what do we do now?" He asks as Madison sits down out of exhaustion. "Honestly, I don't know. I'm honest to god tired." She says as they both see something coming in the distance. "It's SupaSound!" Thomas says as he lands in front of them. "Sorry I couldn't get here sooner, Quinn and I got settled at Tobias' Laboratory up in Mud Town. I got some drones scanning the areas and it looks like Andrew, Whitmore, Wenda, Den, and Parrish are all around helping the townspeople, bringing them to safety." He says as the suit displays three screens of the three people he mentioned the feed comes from the news broadcasted. "Seems like the demon's only went through the cities over here, they didn't spread throughout the world like Johnson way back when..." SupaSound continues on as Thomas realizes something and interrupts. "Hey...where's my sister? I visited the house(which is like our safe place if anything bad happens)and didn't see her." Thomas says as SupaSound and Madison look down. "What happened?" Thomas' tone changes as both are hesitant to answer. "Thomas. My boy. She's dead." SupaSound says as he puts a hand on his shoulder for comfort. Thomas stands back, "No. She can't be! You were suppose to watch her! Make sure she would STILL BE ALIVE." Thomas says as he starts to cry, Madison hugs him as SupaSound's headpiece of his suit degrades down to his neck, revealing his face. "She died saving me. She died doing what I was supposed to take the fall for...she's courageous, more or less more than me." He says asa year goes back his face. "But her body is safe in the new laboratory, the drones protected her...we'll have a proper burial for her most definitely when this is all said and done." SupaSound says as Thomas slowly nods. "An alert popped up, I'll go to the scene, here is the address to the lab. Quinn should let y'all in." He says as he slowly then immediately lifts off after he hands the address to Madison and salutes at them. Shortly after SupaSound is gone from sight, a two seated motorcycle rapidly pulls up in front of them, "Madison. Thomas. I am summoned and solely operated by SupaSound's command. I was requested to take you two to the laboratory in Mud Town." It says as they both look like one another, shrugs their shoulders, get on the bike, and it automatically puts seatbelt like straps around their waists. It immediately spins its wheels and rides off.

Ash lies in Salo's bed as Rana tells Salo about everything that happened earlier in Ebon, "Knonus is here...I feared for this day." Salo says as he rubs his chin. "If we can track him on whatever he went, we can beat him now." Rana says as Salo shakes his head. "Hell's Gate must've made an escape spell for him to bring him to a location that no one can track....which puts us at a standstill." He says as Rana raises an eyebrow. "My mom could track him." She says softly as Salo hears and taps her roughly on the head with his staff. "And that is what got her and the other gods before me killed. Being too rash and hasty will never work on our favor. We need to regroup, see what we have, I hate to say it...but I may have to train these new generation heroes here." Salo says as he rubs his head in disbelief. "Train us?" Raw asks as if she misheard him. "Yes. Everyone needs to know what they can and can't do, surpass limits if they must, we need all hands on deck I'm afraid. The fate of the world as we know it counts on it." Salo sternly says as he sits down near the bed and looks at Ash. "This kid...not even aware of his own power, Hell's Gate knew more about this kid than he did himself. Incidents like that is how Knonus is ahead of us and we need to be prepared for anything and everything." Salo says as Rana sits next to him. "I'll address everything when they're all free." Salo says as Nira teleports to them, her face and expressions seems to be in a panic. "SALO! H-h-h-he's....K-k-..." She stutters. "We know. Gather all the gods to meet here, we must talk. Now." Salo says as he sits down and a table with some chairs appear. "We have no time to waste." Salo says as he leans back in the chair, has his hands overlapping each other as a sense of urgency fills the room.
