Later that morning, at Azenith’s house, Dylan is at the dining room table with his notes and his Grimoire. He yawns as he writes his notes down on his notepad. Azenith and Jason walk downstairs, yawning. Azenith looks at Dylan.

“I thought you went to bed hours ago?!” Azenith said.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKGK8wVBSS
“Huh?” Dylan looked up, breaking his focus. “Oh yeah, I did. I couldn’t sleep until I found out Michele’s weakness.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yuwl3qrr3
“It’s impossible to find his weakness, Dylan. That woman is too powerful to have a weakness.” Jason said.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllvSy73otZ
“Negative thinking, Jason. There is! I have a theory that her weakness is electricity and water but that doesn’t make any sense. Lust demons that are sexual demons are prone to electric powers. But water, they can withstand water. Even Holy water from an angel.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahM2IGno3N
“What about Fire?” Azenith suggested.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCPiFhbXTv
“Depends on the levels of fire color but she’s a fire user and Sin demons are prone to fire. ALL FIRES.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jmqKUHwmw
“I don’t think so. Carolyn is a wrath demon and she got burned from the explosion from the warehouse.” Jason said.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw6vjcUK5n
“What are you talking about? She didn’t get burned. She was bleeding and scratched up. Probably a couple of broken bones.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ig5Cyn5L
“I thought she was.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLmSc2A9cv
“ANYWAYS! Dylan, aren’t you an angel yourself?” Azenith asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2fTL6uIWm
“Techno Angel. I don’t use my powers that often. I just use my glow discs.” Dylan said.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip4U2z4vLW
“Are there such powers as ‘Angelic powers’?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TFegQNi0E
“Oh yeah, it’s a thing. In fact, when someone is an angel user, Their powers are basically ‘angelical’ depending on the tier of angel they are. Same goes for demon users.”
“I just came up with an idea, have you thought about angelic electricity? Can a lust demon take that kind of power?” Azenith asks. Dylan thinks for a second. His eyes widened as he got an idea came into mind.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8FjFZlS3d
“I haven’t thought about that! AZENITH YOU’RE A GENIUS!” Dylan said. He gets up from his chair and hugs Azenith. Azenith hugs back, chuckling.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphciOzEy08
“Did we figure it out?!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVf4xIvQH7
“YES, YES WE DID! OH MY GOD!” Dylan breaks the hug and writes in his notebook.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejnnmCfd0J
“Angelic Electrical powers.” Dylan said, writing it down. “Finally, I found her weakness! Thanks Azenith!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQtnCfssRA
“You’re welcome Dylan!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm5asYOyLO
“Now, I need to tell the rest of the group.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tsLwfYCXX
“Does this work for others that aren’t angels?” Jason asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnWtj7H6Qn
“It does…Kind of… It takes a lot of power though. Are you guys ready for that kind of power?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvjYDu6tka
“If you put it that way, I'm out.” Jason said. Azenith’s tail smacks him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSAScVKXUo
“Ow.” Jason moaned. Azenith grabs his hand confidently.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtGLRMn51u
“We’re ready” She said, raising her and Jason’s hands high in the air. Jason blushes.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa9GFG48Bu
“Don’t even think about it.” she demanded. Jason lets go of her hand, sweating nervously. Dylan looks at him, nodding in shame.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMih9Q5E76w
“Grown ass man.” He said. Dylan grabs his Grimoire and heads towards the staircase up to his room.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZNUGkTEvD
“Anyways. Should I call Cassandra, Alyssa, and Monica so we can practice this?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBloZ1GGqPE
“Call them please! We need to practice now, Las Vegas is at steak!” Dylan said, walking upstairs to his room.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBNXOvlYPp
“Okay!” Azenith said. Jason watches Dylan walking upstairs. He looks at Azenith.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JF9xfDK7k
“Sooo… What does your hand do other than holding on to mine?” Jason asks. Azenith grabs her phone.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGOrtii1in
“Grabbing my phone and calling Cassandra and Monica. Which you should be doing too, calling Alyssa.” She said, walking away.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEKlqTWOkN
“Right uh..”
Jason grabs his phone, sitting down on the couch. Later on that day, at UMC Hospital, Carolyn walks up to Justine’s room. She knocks on the door. Justine wakes up from the knocking noise. She stretches slowly, trying not to rip the stitches from the wound.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvdBtxPb8S
“Come in.” She said, slowly sitting up on the bed, Carolyn opens the door, walking in.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLpKYOWDh3
“Hey. Justine.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjynScZLize
“Hey..”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0ZnbHW0Jh
“You look tired. Did I come at a bad time?” Carolyn asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4qSF8zWwK
“Oh no you didn’t! I took a nap earlier thinking you weren’t going to come. I thought you were busy, you know, being the mayor of this busy twenty-four hour city.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswsEBwIpsZ
“I didn’t really have anything to do but go to meetings and two events in the city. I’m on my lunch break right now. I decided to spend it with you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIGEzrtrTL
“Aww Carolyn, you didn’t have to do that. I don’t want you to neglect eating for a whole hour.” Justine said.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFjaAEiASK
“It’s alright, don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” Carolyn said, smiling. Justine smiles.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmiiO9HYkR
“How’s your stomach? Is it healing?” Carolyn continues, sitting down in a chair.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2H6AfNfic
“Well…” Justine pushes down the blanket to look at the cuts on her stomach. One of the cuts is already healed and the rest are still healing. “One of them is healing fast and I just got stitches last night.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlXEBEM3Cy
“Must be your Wrath demon powers taking over the healing process.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxab3oDTeaA
“Must be,” Justine pauses. “Wait a minute, how did you know?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtkb19sgZN
Carolyn smiles, “I kind of figured that you are a wrath demon. I can tell by your calm demeanor.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ewgfUoHU
Justine chuckles, “That’s crazy, I didn’t know that I looked calm. Usually, I look so mean to people.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw33tOSgxK
“Not to me, most wrath demons look like that. I even look like that.” Carolyn chuckles. Justine smiles.
“Yeah.” She continues to laugh. “Anyways, I always want to know how my wrath demon powers heal my cuts and wounds. How does that work?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LpUIyRAEF
“Well, let's put it this way.” Carolyn grabs her dagger, she holds it over her wrist and cuts her wrist. Justine jumped. Blood flows out of the cut, dripping on the floor. She licks her thumb, covers the cut with her saliva and covers the cut with her hand. The cut heals as the heat converts to moisture from the saliva coating the wound. Justine’s eyes widened.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFBSYUvbst
“Is it just our body heat that is healing the wound?” Justine asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8AhblYHsv
“Mostly likely it is. It can be something else, air moisture, heat moisture. The summer is crazy when the sun and your sweat heals your cuts and wounds.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvUtf9IgSQ
“Is it just only to wrath demons that can heal themselves or can other demons do that?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC4OEZ14EY
“From what I know, It’s only to wrath demons and lust demons. I would look up the Grimoire to find out.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpM6bGYBw9
“Ah okay! I can look it up later.” Justine said. Silence roams the room. Justine spoke up. “How’s your day, Carolyn?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAyVBro1pF
“It went well. I had two meetings, ended up going to my events. I already want to go home. Pretty much had a good day today without Michele and her bullshit.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCFeHC9Wl
“That’s good!” Justine said. Carolyn smiles.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcoHvP2uK4
“How are you, Justine? Did your friends come over today?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0WHH2q5VO
“Cerena did, Raya and Vivian probably will be coming soon after Cerena closes the arcade.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfWlAzfzWO
“Aww… that’s good. How are they anyway?” Carolyn asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ0KGwa2Q6
“They’re doing alright. Cerena got scared that I died. The same goes for Raya and Vivian. I have to explain what happened.” Justine laughs. Carolyn laughs.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYLUJ01cPs
“Oh no!” Carolyn continues to laugh. “You have a lot of explaining to do.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R5S8qMbwL
“Yeah.” silence roams the room again. Justine looks out the window.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hxb6ijFnT
“I don’t like how Michele is treating you Carolyn. Justine spoke up. Carolyn looks up at Justine.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlZz0jZ7Z2
“Justine..”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGIja2aM2R
“I’m serious. I don’t like how she treats you. She abuses you. not to mention, wants to kill you for absolutely nothing. All for what? Her reign of power over Vegas? She’s willing to take advantage of an elderly lady just to prove what?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePr1WkkiAQ
Carolyn sighs, “Well…I don’t like it either but what can I do? The only thing I can do is sacrifice myself to dismantle her mafia secretly without her knowing.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrPuh8avF1
“How can you do that when she’s on your ass 24/7?” Justine asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnjzDdGn5A
“I’m gonna play a game called ‘being a sneaky new yorker’ Las Vegas edition. I made it up but basically i'm going to be on the down low being really sneaky for her not to catch me. Grab everyone that quit Michele’s mafia, the heroes, Oscar, and you if you want to play along. And then find a way to dismantle and end her mafia for good.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OZnf2YSpo
“Ooohh!” Justine said, “I want to play. Can I play?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlelJILaOFs
“Sure. I pretty much trust you and for the record, you can beat Michele’s ass pretty good. I need the help that I can get.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gyVYQHYGJ
“Do you want my friends to help?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp9K1JZuOp
“They can but I recommend not letting them help out a lot because it can get really deadly and I don’t want you or any of your friends getting really hurt.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZdUq9nUyb
“That’s fair… Wait a minute. What do you mean, it can get really deadly?” Justine asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUIgrNepAt
“The fight isn’t over with her and I. It’s never going to be over until she successfully completes her goal of taking over Nevada or sees me dead. She would be very happy if she can accomplish both.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmASrQz8EB
Justine sighs and nods her head. “We can beat her. We just need to find a weakness in her.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2UdcCDM9U
“Justine.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu3kiqT4FM
“No listen, everyone has a weak point in their powers. I’m sure she has one.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4MKOaGzQZ
“Michele doesn’t have a weakness…If I'm not mistaken. I can’t even beat her and lust demons have an electrical weakness.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCQ68QtR61
“Don’t Angels have a certain power to defeat demons such as lust demons?” Justine asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpogDtH0hg
“Oscar is an angel of Powers and he can’t even defeat her,” Carolyn said, bluntly.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8EF3mcN1a
“But doesn't he have any angelical powers?”
Carolyn pauses as her eyes widen. “Angelical powers?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQxoStm9j2
“Yeah. Angelical Powers. Most angels in Vegas do have that kind of power.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHX8eDSbnS
“Hm… I don’t think Oscar uses that kind of power. What is it?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p4xQm0k52
Justine grabs their Grimoire from the floor. She opens up the page catered to Angels. She turns to the page explaining the angelical powers. Carolyn gets up and hovers over Justine.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfInNy4ogY
“So the Grimoire says that, ‘Angelical powers are a type of high energy power that angels use against their opponent. It can be used with any angel tier power depending on their element of power they had originally given or born with.’ but it also says that it can take your energy if used incorrectly.” Justine explains. Carolyn reads the page, silently. Her eyes widened again.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVGiB8sCXI
“Wait, can this be used on sin demons?” Carolyn asks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPPTNcxgNh
“Oh yeah. See?” Justine points at a keynote point box. “It can be used on Sin demons. It's like their weak point. Pretty much, we can die if they use it directly on us. Some are lucky to survive. You see why nobody that is a demon goes up to Northern Nevada.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwDw3yxqDZ
Carolyn laughs, “Okay, that right there is hilarious!” She continues to laugh. Justine laughs with her. “But in all seriousness, We can pretty much figure out how to beat Michele. It just takes a lot of energy to do.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jYnAK2NUk
“That’s correct.” Justine said.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1789IlRsWa
“Fair. Time to prepare the game of being a ‘sneak new yorker’ and prepare for the main event. Want to help me prepare for the fight, Justine?” Carolyn asks, softly smiling.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQjlaHRqZS
“Me? Sure! I will be honored to help you!” Justine said, Carolyn smiles and hugs Justine. “You don’t have to be ‘honored’ to help me. I considered you as my adopted grandchild. I want you to help me out.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GcFHU5g0N
“Would you like to bring Oscar and your kids in as well?” Justine asked. Carolyn breaks up the hug.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J5zvlvEBl
“Oscar can help. I would rather leave my kids out of this just to protect themselves from getting hurt.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCj1YfG1NS
“That’s fair.” Justine said. “When are you planning to start preparing for the fight?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvhUnVu1JC
“Soon. I want you to heal up first before we start preparing for the fight.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLl2xyuQN0
“Alrighty!” Justine smiles. Carolyn smiles, she walks towards the chair, grabbing her purse. She walks up to Justine, hugging her and kissing her cheek. Justine hugs Carolyn back.
“I’ll see you later. I’ll text you when I get home. Okay?” Carolyn said.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYCT7OnnKV
“Okay!” Justine said, breaking up the hug. “Stay safe out there.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5VyAPZNZZ
“I will.” Carolyn walks towards the door, she opens and looks back at Justine. Blowing a kiss towards them. Justine catches the kiss from her and forms a heart shape with her fingers. Carolyn smiles warmly and walks out the door, closing it behind her80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVUbesMSrP
