Acension city

[The Magic Otter]

Josh looked at the necklace he had bought Con, sighing.

Frank walked in from the basement. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?" He walked closer to the masked man.

The masked man removed a blade and jumped up, landing behind Satan. "I need information." He put the blade to Satan's throat.

Mag returned the hug. "What's going on? What happened to the mansion? Why can't Henry remember Acon?" She was clearly panicking.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shook his head, and stood. He knew Acon was too far gone to save, and sighed. Ray looked at the DVD's on the floor, and put in the 'pre-reboot' disk. He sat beside Acon, and patted her shoulder. "S-Stay with me, Acon."

[Aconitum]

Satan furrowed her brow. "That's great, but my table!"

Ronald shook his head began to cry. "I don't know!"

Acon softly gasped for breath.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray felt a tear roll down his face. He put it on his fingertip, and blinked at the unwarranted tear. Ray looked at Acon. "A-Acon..? P-Please s-stay with me. I-I...I feel like...i-if you're not here, I-I'll be lost."


Something else emerged from the hole. It looked like a shadow, that stood like a person. It shimmered and shook, as it tried to take form.

[The Magic Otter]

The masked man sighed and put away the blade. "I'll fix it if you give me the information i need."

Mag cried into Ronald's shoulder. "I just want to be back at home... We chose it together... Why can't anything good stay with me!?"

Frank looked at the table and sighed. "I bought that for our three-hundred year anniversary..."

[Aconitum]

Acon coughed some more and her ears twitched. Con watched the hole in horror and scooted back against the wall.

[Rayleonarde]

The shadow writhed violently, until it exploded. Ray, or rather a similar entity, appeared within. He landed on the ground, and looked directly at Con. "Con, dear. Don't hide from your father."


Ray sniffed. "A-Acon?"

[Aconitum]

Acon's breathing slowly came back to normal, but her eyes were still unfocused and she was still limp.

Con furrowed her brow and got a bit closer. "Dad...?" She was unsure why she said it, but dad seemed natural to call this man.

Satan pinched the bridge of her nose. "What information do you want?"

Ronald hugged Mag tighter and sobbed loudly.

[Rayleonarde]

Shadow-Ray smiled. "I guess someone made a very poor wish, hmm?"

[Aconitum]

Con shrugged and slowly began to stand. "I-I guess so."

[Rayleonarde]

Shadow-Ray snapped, and his cane appeared beside him. He gripped it tight, and smiled. "Where's town, Con? I have some business to attend to."

[Aconitum]

Con sighed and pointed straight ahead, just past the trees.

[The Magic Otter]

The masked man sat back down. "I would like to know of the locations of Magnolia, Aconitum, Maggie, Con and Juka Lovien."

Josh looked at his reflection in the pond water, keeping a tight grip on the necklace.

Mag held Ronald tightly. "I'm scared!"

[Rayleonarde]

Shadow-Ray smiled, and extended his paw. "Come, Con. We are going to have a family reunion."

[Aconitum]

Satan smirked. "Why?"

Con raised brow and took shadow-Ray's paw. "O-okay?"
