The cat breathed heavily, stumbling about a little bit, then leaning on Tsune's leg, unable to stand on her own. She breathed heavily, feeling so completely drained that she could just pass out, which she did.

Anna, meanwhile, was in a daze as well, too shaken with fear, and still making small noises, though by now most all of them were completely incomprehensible as screams, or even noises aside from gurgles. As she lied there, the woman shivered, too fearful to move, too exhausted to say anything, and too shellshocked to know any of what was going on.

~~~~~

"... I don't know how much we can tell him..." Zach sighed. "I mean... He's seven, but... Ugh..." He muttered. "Maybe we should make sure he's ready to fight himself... He's strong... I mean... By now he's nearly as strong as we are..." He said. "I mean... Yeah, he's a bit frail, but... He's quick, and he's powerful... I mean, most of the time he can break things before they break him." He said.

Tsune still shuddered, though not nearly as much. When the beast died, she remained in the frozen state until she felt the cat lean against her leg. She did not know what to do. Carefully she bent down and grasped the cat before turning away, taking steps away from the scene.

"TSUNE!!!" came a roar as debris of the wall shifted. Glenn, heaving, surfaced, battered and bruised everywhere. "I... ought... to kill you... for what... you did... more like... didn't do..." he gasped as he took painful steps forward.

"But because of Mai-Fei... and because of my fucking nature... I won't! You're lucky I won't even beat the shit out of you! Get the hell away from here, right now!"

Tsune whimpered for a moment before dashing off, listening to Glenn. Glenn immediately rushed over as fast he could over to Anna, kneeling down. "H-hey, it's okay..." he whispered as gently as he could. "It's all over..." Wonder what really got her worked up... I've never heard her scream like that... never mind scream. He pulled the woman into his arms, using what strength he had left to carry her into the house and upstairs to their room. He then placed her onto the bed and grasped her shoulders. "Don't worry, I'll be right here shortly. I gotta fix the wall..." he said before running down, doing just that. He quickly ran back, finding the pain to be too great at this point. Knowing he needed a break and that he couldn't take another step... he slumped against the back of the door of their room.

~~~~~~~~

"But he iz seven! He could be psychologically devastated!" Alma said as she blinked. "But... Serenade vaz right. Ve need to do somezhing, anyzhing. I love zhis planet, I love you, and I love my family to death. "So... maybe you are right as well. Let us see vhat he zhinks. If he doez vant to... we vill protect him vith everyzhing ve have. Ve can leave Izabella to someone else for awhile..."

"I'm not saying we need to tell him to fight." Zach said. "I just... I want him to be ready to fight if the need arises... I want him to know how to use his strength... That's all." He explained, holding his wife close. "I mean... I don't want him to have to fight... And... Well, I want to watch over Isabella... I don't want her to have to go through what Terios has had to." He told her. "Which is why... That's why I want to watch over her through all this. We'll protect her... We'll protect Terios... And we'll protect the world. It's the only course we have. We'll protect everyone!" He said firmly.

~~~~~

"S-sir!" Came the voice of a messenger running into Leo's rooms. "We have reports... We saw the crash of a rheiard... It's confirmed that your grandparents were on the machine... And they were in the crash, injured as you'd left them." He explained.

~~~~~

Of course, Mai-Fei and Anna were still to exhausted to do anything. Anna closed her eyes, clenching onto Glenn's shirt, it becoming painfully clear that she was shivering. She was so shaken up by all of the going ons that it would take a complete fool to not figure out what was causing her almost violent reaction.

Glenn, exhausted himself, held onto her, thinking. How did she even have a voice? Maybe... When she saw that behemoth she went ballistic... I hate to see her like this. She's stressing out badly. This isn't helping our kid either... he thought as he smoothed her hair. A lot of our family died in only a short span of years... down to even my grandparent's kid... why does this have to happen? he asked himself before whispering, "It's going to be okay, nothing's going to hurt you... See? I managed to protect you after all. Mai-Fei too!"

Just then he heard a knock at the door. "I can't get up..." he groaned.

~~~~~~~~~

Leo raised his brows. He then stood from his chair and yawned. "Guess I should investigate it. Knowing them, they won't fucking die..." he said before placed his hands onto his head. "Well, I'll be back by the end of the day. Guess it'll just be me for once too."

~~~~~~~~

"Heh, you zhink it iz possible, hm?" Alma muttered with a small laugh. "Vell... my huzband'z alvayz right... so ve vill be able to protect ze vorld. Ve just need to be smart about it," she stated as she kissed his cheek. "Love you," she said as she yawned. "Glad she haz gotten into routine zhough... Don't have to feed her for anozher couple of hourz."

"That's true..." Zach sighed, kissing the woman. "You know something... This might be the last time we have to actually relax for a while... I mean, we have Terios locked away to relax... Isabella's sleeping... And..."

"Wa... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Came a sudden voice from the room, causing Zach to jump. "Th-The hell!?" He exclaimed, turning around to see a second baby in the crib that just hadn't been there before. "Huh... No... Absolutely not... No way in hell!" He shouted, looking around. "Who the hell is dropping their babies on us now!?" He asked, walking over to the crib and looking at the little baby boy who was now siting next to Isabella, this one a couple of months older and having a cap with its name written on it. "Ben... Who is this kid?" He asked, looking at the baby, who was crying. "Any idea?" He asked.

"Zhis iz insane... I have no idea!" Alma groaned. "... Iz zhere any orphanage around?" she said as she flapped her forehead rather in disgruntlement. "I can't do zhis... I'm not a super mozher... I can barely care for one..." she grimaced as she saw the both of them. "He iz not ourz by a long shot... ve can't keep caring for babiez from around ze vorld or vhatever!" she whimpered. "I'm... I'm getting a drink. Do me a favor and vatch zhem for me," she begged as she walked off for a mere quick moment.

"W-wait!" Zach exclaimed, throwing out his arms, feeling exasperated, and realizing that 1: He was going to be stuck in a bad situation no matter what he did, and 2: He had to be responsible at this point. "Fine..." He mumbled. "Just... If you're getting liquor... Be good enough to at least make sure to get some milk ready for Isabella... And this kid first." He groaned, realizing that until they figured out who the kid was, they would need to take care of the boy's needs too.

~~~~~

On the other side, Anna started to awaken to the noise, groaning silently. 'Nnnnn?' She blinked, looking around and feeling completely confused and dazed by all that had happened.

"I'm not getting liquor!" Alma replied out loud as she made herself some iced milk. The woman gulped it down rather quickly and placed it into the sink. "Geez, alvayz assuming I vould drink liquor..." she said before walking back. "I'm good to feed... both of zhem. Ugh..." she groaned. "Zhis iz going to be razher awkvard, izn't it?"

"WAaaaahhhhoooo!" came Isabella's voice as she began to squirm, most likely for food.

"....Speaking of vhich..." she said as she pulled her daughter from the crib and sat at a chair, feeling at least happy that she finally had bonding time.

~~~~~~~~~~

KNOCK!!!

"Huh...? Yuliadammit..." Glenn sighed before shouting. "I CAN'T MOVE! COME IN!!"

Silence.

"What the... hell...?" he said before closing his eyes. "Whatever. I need sleep. Badly... Night..." he said to himself, glad to at least be getting to sleep once more.

Meanwhile...

"Hrm..." A woman of about thirty-four years of age stood before the door, the walked away. "No... it's not time yet. I don't even know what this is like, but it looks completely awful... Wonder if they would recognize me," she mumbled as she walked away.

Zach sighed. "Well I can't tell sometimes..." He admitted, shaking his head. "Especially since sometimes when you get agitated... Well, you get into fancies of the other side." He pointed out. "I mean... I feel I need to remind you when that does happen... And I often don't really have much time aside from right when I start... You understand, right?" He asked in a tired voice, scratching the back of his head.

~~~~

Anna soon found herself overcome by exhaustion once more, and soon ended up passed out with Glenn. After several hours, there came another knock of the door. The knocking of the door hitting the ground, that is. A woman entered, blinking and tapping the two with her feet. "Hey... Hey, wake up!" The woman said.

Glenn snored for a few more moments as he was tapped, until he forced himself to be awake despite being comfortable by snuggling with Anna. He wouldn't have woken if he hadn't grown annoyed with the tapping. "Who... the hell...?" Glenn groaned as he opened both eyes slowly. "Don't wake Anna up. She's not been in good shape at all... Wait a sec..." he said, taking a good look at the woman. "... Shara...?"

~~~~~~~~~

"Uh.... right..." Alma replied as she allowed Isabella to latch onto her left breast. "I don't even really remember vhat happenz during zhen..." she whispered as she glanced upwards at him. "Ack! Izabella, pleaze be a little gentler..." she whispered as she brushed her child's head.

"Ve should probably just get used to zhis."

"Get used to what?" Zach asked with a sigh, sitting down and groaning. "Get used to having to store milk... Getting used to having a whole peck of kids that we don't own?" He asked with a sigh, suddenly blinking. "Wait..." He said, realizing that there was a note in the bookcase and reading it. "Hey... Wait... This note says who the kid is... And I just realized... I've known it's been here for weeks..." He groaned. "But..."

'Because... Just be ready... We can see it...' Came a voice in his head. 'The other possibility. The one that coincides with this reality.'

~~~~~

"Wake up, you oafs." Shara said, seeming upset. "Mom and dad... I saw it... They crashed into a mountain outside of Grand Chokmah... I went to be sure... And... Glenn... They're gone... What's going on?" She asked weakly. "What happened to the house... Why were mom and dad there?" She groaned. "Why the hell is Leo...?"

"Zach, you're really not helping my mind any," Alma said with a confused look on her face. "Ve should have noticed zhat note before... so... vhat? Never mind it iz just to odd for it to be about a random child. Ugh, I didn't sign up for zhis... I don't even zhink I can really handle trois children... I really don't. So... who iz he anyvay?" she asked as she readjusted Isabella in her arms.

~~~~~~~~

"......" Glenn blinked, taking in the information. "The hell are... you..." he grimaced as his hands trembled violently. "No... Mom and Dad... Uncle Irvine and now them...? They can't be dead! They never die!!!" he whispered as he placed Anna to the side. He then stared up at Shara, seeing the serious glitter in pupils. She was right. "I... I can't sit here anymore... I really can't! I shouldn't be resting when everyone of my family is being killed!" he said with a silent sob. "It's all Leo... He's the one that almost destroyed this home... he's the one that killed everyone... I won't forgive him for this!" he said, unsure of what to feel. Carefully he stood up, though it was easy to tell he was far from tip-top shape. "I need to find a way to kill him and make sure he never comes back!"

Of course, for his bluster, the man was immediately slapped across the face. Hard. "What are you going to do, huh?" Shara asked angrily. "Whine him to death?" She clenched her fists tightly. "Yeah, I don't know why this shit is happening... But I don't need to lose anyone else... My sister... My brothers..." She mumbled, her face already streaked with dried up tears from before. "And you're just... Ugh... Going to throw yourself into a Yuliadamned place where there's no way to escape!? I'm not letting it happen, you stupid brat!" She shouted at him, punching him to the ground.

~~~~~

"Well... This is... It's a copy of a will..." Zach groaned, shaking his head. "You just... Have to see it to believe it..." He muttered. The paper was dated a few months before, and was marked as part of the last will and testament for John and Serenade. Several lines of information had been highlighted, including dates of death (by murder), as well as what they had left to people, in this case, they had left Zach and Alma their young child... Yet...

"It doesn't make sense though... It says here that they were killed by their grandson... A few months ago... But we were just talking to them... Right..."

"Ze hell..." Alma breathed as she took the will and read to herself. "... Zhis... iz impossible... how ze hell did... vere ve speaking vith ghosts? Zhen again, ze baby just poofed out of novhere into our crib," she explained. "And now zhey left ze baby vith us... so it's zheir kid?" she asked, her ears flitting slightly with annoyance. "Doez everyone believe ve are super parents? Saddening vhat had happened to zhem, zhough. I don't know vhy, but part of me vants to zhrow myself into a fit of rage. Veird." Giving the will back, Alma redressed her top after Isabella was finished and set her back into the crib after allowing her to burp up a little.

~~~~~~

Glenn grit his teeth as he felt pain in his jaw from where Shara struck. One hand holding himself steady on the floor and the other on his cheek, he frowned deeply, trying to control himself. "I'm sorry..." he whispered as he found himself submitting to his own aunt. "Look, I'm just as devastated as you are, and I don't know what to do at this point. This is really bad, and... and I can't keep this up for very long. I can't even take on a behemoth on my own anymore! What are we going to do if Leo shows up right here and now!? He'll obliterate all of us!" he said as he gazed at Anna for a moment. "I won't ever let her be touched, but... how am I supposed to keep my promise if I can barely move, Shara? What are you even planning to do?"

"But... It looks like we accepted it..." Zach sighed, shaking his head. "Ugh... This is too strange..." He mumbled. "Oh, and the voice in my head is talking too much..." He mumbled as he smacked the side of his head a couple of times, trying to shut up the voice with a frown. "Look... I... I have a feeling they're not... I don't think they're dead... I think there's something else going on here... I have a feeling that what they told us... I don't think it's the only thing that we're going to have to deal with in the near future..." He groaned, looking at the baby boy. "Don't need this right now..." He mumbled.

~~~~~

"... I don't know..." Shara mumbled. "But... I can't stay here... And... My mentor... She wants to teach me one more lesson... Before she... Yeah." She groaned. "I... I just don't know where to go from here... All I had was mom and dad... And now everything's all wrong..." She whispered.

'What?' Anna blinked, starting to come back to her senses. 'What now?' She asked. 'Maybe we should just... Run away... You know?' She asked, frowning.

"You have a voice in your head? Odd..." Alma replied as she blinked. "But you don't zhink zhey are dead? ...Maybe ve should try and find zhem. If zhey are alive like you said, zhen it should not be a problem. Ve can find zhem... but ze problem iz our children... and zhis boy," she muttered as her tail swung. "So vhat to do? Get some ozher people to do it? Or just have you go? Becauze I can care for zhe trois."

~~~~~~~~~

Glenn glanced upward at Shara. "I know how it feels. I just lost both my parents and my grandparents to this asshole... the worst of it is that he is of my own blood. We could all die at this rate, dammit... and for what? Just for his own vengeance? His own fun?? Tch. Maybe I can take down the one thing he cares about... Shara... is there any way to lure out a demon easily? I mean... I think I'm going to have to agree with Anna about running away for awhile, but when I'm strong enough I could track down that damn demon of his and kill her outright."

He then turned to his girlfriend. "But run away to where? Where could we go? He could find us wherever. After all, he sent that damn behemoth over here, and he didn't have to show! There was that other planet, but it was destroyed..."

'Why can't we just go somewhere else... I mean... He probably knew someone would be here!' Anna pointed out. 'This place was an easy target, after all!' She said, flapping her arms about. 'So there has to be somewhere that we can go and hide... Maybe near your cousin's place! Or up in the snowlands! Nobody's in the snowlands!' She suggested.

"Oh, what, you mean that stupid bitch he keeps around?" Shara asked, ignoring Anna's motions. "Yeah, what's to say she can even BE found, huh? She's always with him and waiting to ambush whoever isn't paying enough attention!" She sighed.

~~~~~

"... I think... Just considering the state of things... We shouldn't split up for any longer than we have to... We should get some outside help..." Zach said, lying back. "Sheesh... This is so much more difficult than it needs to be... Why does this kind of crap keep happening to us, dear?" He asked softly.

"Becauze ve have ze luck of ze devil, if you ask me," Alma replied as she folded her arms. "Just... ve need to zhink some. Right now I'm too exzausted to do anyzhing, Love," she stated as she stared at the man for a moment. "Am I allowed to take a nap, or iz it too much to ask? Poor Izabella here kept me up all night."

~~~~~~~~

"My mother hid near her place... no way on that one," Glenn said as he glanced upwards again at Shara. "You're right... she's basically his damn shield. Without it, it would make things so much more easier, and we can gang up on him. I wonder... do you think nothing will happen to the world in six months? Because... I think I need to further my training. That, and find that text... Ugh. We'll go in hiding that way, and there are plenty of behemoths to practice on over there once I'm fit again. But hey, good luck Shara. What was the final lesson, or am I going to be punched for it?"

Shara punched him. Since he asked for it. In reality, that was the only reason at all. "Just... Be safe." She told him, her voice empty from the losses that she had gone through. She started on her way out, then unsealed her wings and set into the air with a frown, just wanting to escape from everything and all of the pain.

'So... What are we going to do?' Anna asked with a frown. 'Should we go to the cold north wastes?' She asked with a blink. 'Would it be safe there? I mean... It's abandoned with the wreckage and all... Isn't it?'

~~~~~

"No... Go ahead and rest... I'll watch over everyone." Zach said softly, hugging the woman close. "And you know what I mean... The other me... He won't shut up... This... it's really strange, you know?" He asked in a soft voice.

Glenn rubbed his cheek as he watched Shara fly off. "Our family is dying..." he reminded himself before turning his head to Anna. Grasping her close, he nodded. "We can try... I don't know if it would be safe or not. I just know that there is no civilization whatsoever. Which could, in fact, be a good thing. Just need to find a way around getting food and all," he said before wobbling onto his feet. "Then again, if I recall the last time we were there... Jace..." he said with a frown, recalling the Elven man. After all, Glenn caused his death, and he still could not let it go. Now he was back to eternal resting.

~~~~~~~~~

"...Okay... I know... vait, vhat iz really strange? Ve should really be used to zhis at zhis point," Alma replied with a tight hug around the man. "I... I... am going to take a two hour nap. Alright? If any of the kids cry... vell, you know vhat to do anyvay. I do not need to tell you..." she whispered as she suddenly slumped in his arms.
