The king of the undead has just gotten his head blown off by Susie Walters, and the Destroyer is not happy about this at all.

  Dream Destroyer: I had him! What gives, Susie?! (Zeus yells in anger, his titanic frame moving to confront the woman who stole his kill)

  Sis Gravestone: Stop, now's not the time to be fighting amongst ourselves. I gave the order to kill that nightmare, so keep your attention on me! (Sis said as he deconstructed his armour, returning to his normal form)

  Dream Destroyer: What is wrong with you?! Do you think your connection to the old man makes you untouchable? Do not keep pressing my buttons, if you know what's good for you. (Zeus warns Sis intensely, his menacing armour and presence towering over the young dream demon)

  Seth Wild: Come on, Zeus, calm down. We won, right? Why can't you just be happy for once in your miserable life. (Seth tells him boldly)

  Zeus Eduardo Everest: Don't antagonize me, you idiot! Or I'll break every bone in your body. (Zeus threatens him, his anger only escating)

  Sis Gravestone: This fight is not over yet! There is something coming, something worse. (Sis informs everyone)

  Dream Destroyer: What are you even talking about? (Zeus asked in anger, undoing his armour and reverting back to normal)

  Sis Gravestone: This test is not over, it's too easy, too clean. Whatever we're really fighting, will truly be able to challenge all of us. (Sis expins to them)

  Midy Benson: Why does your grandpa have to be so mean? We beat the bad guy, so we should pass this stupid test. Why does he have to add all this bullshit! (Midy yells in frustration, losing her cool for a moment)

  Susie Walters: Calm down, no use crying over it. Whatever's coming will be challenging, but not impossible to beat. We should be preparing ourselves for the battle of our lives, not arguing like children. (Susie tells them)

  Seth Wild: Hey don't rope me in with everyone else, I'm actually looking forward to this fight. You guys are just thinking about the negatives, do you know the kind of rewards we could get just by proving ourselves. I'm getting moist just thinking about it. (Seth said with glee)

  Zeus Eduardo Everest: (Chuckles) Its funny you think you will actually see this through to the end. If the old man is really testing us, then we'll most likely be fighting... (Zeus said before the bck substance strikes the king of the undead, slowly transforming it into something more terrifying)... A high grade nightmare. (Zeus finishes, watching as all the ashes of the dead zombies merge with the remains of the king, creating a new undead creature)

  [Warning: You Are In The Presence Of An Extremely Dangerous Nightmare Being]

  [Run]

  "I highly doubt they have the capabilities to deal with such a creature, I'm sure most of them will die here... But you, Sis. You're different from all these other insects, you don't get the luxury, of failure. So prove your worth to the Master. Prove yourself worthy to exist, Boy. (The shadow man smiles, summoning purple mists that break down his shadows, making him vanish into the wind)

  Sis and the others stare at the newly created nightmare being, it's presence alone strong enough to paralyze them with fear.

  [Name: The Unliving]

  [Race: Humanoid Type Nightmare Being]

  [Level: High Grade Nightmare Being]

  [Title: Domain Lord]

  [Skills: Undying Physiology]

  [Status: Cimed]

  Sis Gravestone: That means he's the one doing this. He created this abomination. (Sis quickly figures out the identity of the individual responsible for all of this, the shadow man's true identity now known to him)

  The Unliving is completely different from the other undead creatures, it has a very small build, almost bone thin in appearance. Its eyes were hollow, devoid of any activity. Its hands were cwed, looking extremely sharp. And its motionlessness is unnerving, able to lull the inexperienced into a false state of security.

  Zeus Eduardo Everest: It's... (Zeus couldn't even say anything more before the Unliving is suddenly standing before him, moving faster and nding a devastating punch to his gut, hitting the destroyer with enough force to unch him into the sky)

  Midy is the one closest to the monster right now, and if she does nothing, she could be next on the chopping block. Reacting quickly the dream demon immediately summons a nightmare being.

  Midy Benson: Lost!!! (Midy screams out in fear and desperation)

  A massive green fish suddenly takes form before the Unliving, swallowing the high grade nightmare whole. With this done the creature rapidly shrinks in size, doing so until it instantaneously vanishes from existence.

  Sweat is pouring down Midy's face, even she doesn't believe that worked so well. Her knees become weak and buckle under the weight of her own body, the close call too much for her to endure.

  Susie Walters: Did you just kill that thing? (Susie asks in surprise, shocked by what she just witnessed)

  Midy Benson: No, that was just my nightmare. It has the power to take things to random locations. I still can't believe that worked. (Midy expins, still trying to catch her breath)

  Sis Gravestone: Then nothing has changed, that might have worked for a regur nightmare, but not a Domain Lord. A lord can always return to their domain, from any location. (Sis expins, quickly donning his nightmare armour, and watching his surroundings closely)

  Is it just as Sis said, domain lords do have the power to return to their domain, and the Unliving has come back to the Infinite Graveyard.

  Approaching from a distance, the monster does not make any sudden movements. It just slowly stalks towards them, moving with murderous intent.

  Sis Gravestone: Nightmare Bdes! (Sis yelled fearlessly, summoning his chainsaw bdes, and ready to use them against this enemy)... What are you waiting for, an invitation?! Prepare yourselves! (Sis shouts, quickly taking a battle stance)

  Seth Wild: Today's as good as any to die. (Seth ments, before powering up his armour and weapons with corruption energy)

  Shawn Kindle: I have your back, Midy. I'll do my best to protect you. (Shawn tells her, releasing the corruption chains from his armour)

  Midy Benson: Thanks, Shawn. That really means a lot right now. (Midy tells him with a smile, trying to hide the absolute terror she felt)

  Susie Walters: It might seem impossible, but I'm sure we still have what it takes to win this fight. (Susie tells them confidently, summoning her radiant blue colored dream armour, now ready for this fight)

  Sis Gravestone: Take it down with everything you've got! (Sis yells before he rushes forward, his team following at his back)

  Shawn jumps high into the air, swinging his corruption chains from above, trying to nd a hit on the high grade nightmare. But the Unliving moves at blinding speeds, effortlessly avoiding the destructive shes from the red chains.

  Seth Wild: Not so fast, tiny! (Seth yells, suddenly appearing before the Unliving with a burst of super speed, his axes raised to strike the creature's head)

  Seth sms his axes down with earth shattering force, but to his immediate surprise, the Unliving has dodged his attack, now standing next to him motionless. Seth moves fast, his body becoming a blur as he spins to strike the creature, but he is kicked in the face before he can even nd a hit.

  Shawn swings his chains once again, but the Unliving is able to grab them, using them to sm his armoured body down on the ground, cratering it with devastating force.

  Sis Gravestone: Darkness! (Sis shouts, commanding dark tentacles to rise up and bind the creature's legs, immediately restricting its movements )

  Sis swings his chainsaw bdes like a mad man, striking the Unliving multiple times with the roaring weapons. But there's a problem, the bdes do not cut the nightmare's flesh at all.

  Sis Gravestone: What is this thing made of?! (Sis grunts, still shing out with all his might, but to no avail)

  Susie Walters: Leave it to me! (Susie tells him as she rushes forward, aiming her dream staff at the Unliving)... Purification! (Susie grunts, quickly channeling pure dream energy through her staff)... Beam! (Susie shouts before firing a powerful beam of purification energy, which can severely harm nightmare beings)

  The Unliving bends down slightly, jumping up with so much force that its legs are ripped off its body, therefore freeing itself from the darkness.

  The purification beam hits nothing but air, and the Unliving is able to quickly regenerate new legs, spinning forward with so much speed and momentum that it is upon Sis in mere moments, kicking the young dream demon in the chest.

  The chest piece of Sis's armour shatters as he bounces off the concrete, coming to a painful stop by smashing against a headstone.

  The Unliving nds on its feet, before bolting towards Susie Walters, attempting to grab the armoured woman by the face.

  But the flesh of the monster sizzles and burns, its arm caught inside of a dream energy bubble, which surrounded Susie's entire body. The Unliving tries to pull out its arm, but the limb is vaporized before that can happen.

  The Unliving may now be free, but it has also lost an arm. The monster gres at Susie with its hollow dark eyes, knowing it can't get to her.

  Susie Walters: Purification bubble, you can't touch me monster! (Susie tells the creature with a gre of her own)

  The Unliving quickly regenerates a new arm, attempting to rush forward again, not backing down from this fight.

  Midy Benson: Hey you! (Midy calls out to the monster, getting its attention instantly)... Look who I found! (Midy said with a smile, presenting the dream destroyer standing behind her)... Lost can do more than just lose people, it can also find people too. You ready for your pound of flesh, big guy?(Midy asks Zeus with a smile, happy he's back to help them out)

  Zeus gently pushes her aside, stepping forward with his armour pulsating with immense and incredible power.

  Dream Destroyer: Cabrón!!! (Zeus shouts, his armour intensifying the sound of his voice)... I'm about to beat that ugliness straight out of you, so come over here and take it?! (Zeus bellows in rage, his visor radiating with energy)

  The Unliving bends down slightly, taking what seems to be a runner's stance. With a blur of motion the Unliving closes the distance between them in mere moments, punching the Destroyer in the chest, resulting in a massive explosion of force and debris.

  But Zeus's armour proves just how tough it is, tanking the attack and only suffering a rge dent. The force of the punch did not even push back the Destroyer, his massive frame still standing tall.

  Dream Destroyer: Is that the best you got? (Zeus asks, his hands firmly holding onto the Unliving at this point)... My turn! (Zeus smiles before headbutting the Unliving in the face, spilling its purple blood)

  Zeus then lifts the monster into the air, jumping up high and smming it back down on the ground, resulting in a small crater.

  Dream Destroyer: You're still an ugly pendejo, Amigo! Lemme fix that! (Zeus tells the creature, stomping and holding it down to the ground, his visor powering up with a vast amount of energy)... Destroyer Beam! (Zeus bellows, unleashing a terrifyingly powerful bst from his visor, quickly resulting in a massive explosion that easily destroys a rge area of space)... There, now don't you look pretty. (Zeus smiles, staring down at the smoking husk of the Unliving, its remains lying motionless in the massive crater)

  Zeus deconstructs his armour, standing victorious over the lord of this domain. It took a lot of energy to bring this thing down, but Zeus will recover soon enough.

  Zeus Eduardo Everest: And they say I'm weak. Did you see that old man?! No one can beat a Destroyer! (Zeus yells to the sky, proud of his incredible victory)

  Midy Benson: Zeus, look behind you! (Midy yells out a warning, the Unliving is somehow still alive)

  Zeus turns back quickly, realizing that the monster is already back to its feet. Its damaged body almost fully regenerated.

  Zeus Eduardo Everest: Damn it! (Zeus thought, trying to summon his armour as quickly as possible, but the Unliving moves faster, about to cw into Zeus's face)

  Zeus shields his face with his arms, holding his breath and bracing himself for the impact. But the attack never comes, and once Zeus opens his eyes, he sees what stopped the Unliving.

  A swarm of rats have gathered around the monster, all nibbling and biting into its tough flesh. The Unliving tries to move away from them, but the rats are somehow restricting its movements.

  "Hasn't anyone told you never to turn your back on your enemy? I guess not."(A voice tells him, the speaker stepping out of the shadows, revealing the face of a white haired girl cd in all bck clothing)... "I can't believe you guys are actually fighting a high grade. What is the meaning of this?." (The girl asks Zeus)

  Dream Destroyer: And who are you supposed to be? (Zeus asks with a scowl)

  "Doesn't the hair expin anything to you? I'm Emily... Emily Gravestone. I'm here for my brother." (Emily tells him, her arms folded in displeasure)

  Sis Gravestone: Emily, what are you doing here? (Sis asks, still in pain from the attack he took earlier)

  Emily Gravestone: Harry told me you needed my help, so I came as fast as I could. (Emily expins quickly)

  Midy Benson: How are you doing that? (Midy asks, shocked to see the high grade nightmare completely buried by the rats)

  Emily Gravestone: Annabelle can devour anything and everything, especially when she goes into a feeding frenzy like this. It doesn't matter how strong or how fast that thing can regenerate, she'll just keep eating it. (Emily expins to them, watching as her nightmare continues to overwhelm the Unliving)

  Susie Walters: As impressive as that may be, this is not enough to kill a high grade nightmare. It will keep regenerating as long as it has power, and your nightmare cks the strength to nullify that power . (Susie expins to her)

  Emily Gravestone: Hey I'm just here to help, I'm not the end all, be all. Can't you use this chance to kill this thing? (Emily asks)

  Seth Wild: But how do we kill something that can't die? (Seth asks the million dolr question)

  Sis Gravestone: I have an idea, but we need to work together to pull it off. (Sis tells them confidently, stepping forward)

  "Whatever." (Everyone reluctantly agrees, having no other choice but to work together as a team)

  A few minutes ter all the rats scurry off the mutited remains of the Unliving, allowing the nightmare to quickly regenerate. But the team now has the monster surrounded, keeping it at the centre of a big circle.

  The Unliving stands with its body now fully restored, quickly jumping into the air, trying to escape the encirclement. But the corruption chains sh out, wrapping around the monster's leg and smming it back down on the ground.

  The Unliving breaks the spiked chains with its bare hands, quickly getting back up. But Seth and Sis move fast, attacking the monster simultaneously.

  Their combined attacks do little damage, but the duo keeps the monster at bay, long enough for the Destroyer to appear behind the Unliving, grabbing it from behind firmly.

  Dream Destroyer: Together again... Say a prayer, you idiot! (Zeus smirks, squeezing the Unliving in a tight bear hug, restricting any and all movement)

  Susie Walters: That's perfect, just continue to hold him steady. (Susie tells Zeus, pointing her energized dream staff at the Unliving, prepared to fire a devastating attack)

  Dream Destroyer: Just get it over with! (Zeus shouts, using all his strength to stop the monster from escaping his grasp)

  Susie Walters: Purification... (Susie grunts, steadily creating a rge sphere of pure dream energy, using the tip of her staff to carefully take aim)... Bst! (Susie yells, firing the blue sphere with so much force that even she is pushed back)

  The sphere of purification hits both Zeus and the Unliving, unleashing a devestating bst that consumes a rge area of space, forcing the others to flee.

  Zeus grunts in pain, the purifcation doing a lot of damage to his armour. But the Unliving is screaming in pain, a guttural scream that sends chills to the bones.

  Dream Destroyer: You're done. (Zeus says before releasing the Unliving, what is left of the nightmare's body turning to ash immediately afterwards)... (Sighs) Goodjob, Susie. (Zeus tells her, deconstructing his armour and turning back to normal)

  Susie falls to her knees, her face now covered in sweat, her breathing is boured, and her staff used as a crutch to keep her from colpsing.

  Zeus Eduardo Everest: You okay? (Zeus asks, rushing over to check on her)

  Susie Walters: I'm fine... (Groans) No, I'm not fine at all, I can't stay here for much longer. (Susie tells him weakly, feeling extremely nauseous)

  Sis Gravestone: You've done more than enough for us. Go and get some rest. (Sis tells her, his sister standing by his side)

  Susie Walters: Give my regards to your grandfather. (Susie tells him, managing to stand on her own two feet)

  Sis Gravestone: Understood. (Sis tells her)

  Susie opens a portal to her domain, and Zeus tries to accompany her, but she turns him down, leaving on her own. The portal closes quickly, and Zeus calmly opens another, a crimson portal leading to his own domain.

  Zeus Eduardo Everest: Please tell your grandfather I completely hate his guts, and he shouldn't underestimate me. (Zeus tells him coldly, unconcerned by the consequences)... (Chuckles) But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have any fun. (Zeus smiles before vanishing into his portal, which closes shortly afterwards)

  Midy Benson: Everybody's got a portal, and still won't help a girl out. (Sighs) Can you please take me home, Shawn? (Midy asks him sweetly, grabbing his arm once again)

  Shawn Kindle: Take you home?! Oh... you're talking about your domain. Sorry, I thought you meant something different. (Shawn tells her nervously, quickly composing himself)... It will be my pleasure, Midy. (Shawn tells her before opening a red portal, the two of them now about to leave)

  Midy Benson: Bye bye, goth girl! (Midy tells Emily with a wave, entering the portal with Shawn and leaving this domain)

  Seth Wild: Well, its been fun mini boss. But I've gotta go, got lots to do today. (Seth tells him before opening a portal, now about to leave as well)... See ya! (Seth smiles as he enters the portal, leaving Sis and Emily alone in the now crumbling domain)

  Emily Gravestone: You're quiet, too quiet. You okay? (Emily asks him)

  Sis Gravestone: I'm just tired, fighting this monster took a lot out of me. (Sis expins to her)

  Emily Gravestone: I can imagine, it could have been a lot easier with Harry by your side. But since your grandpa forbade him, I had no choice but to come to your rescue. (Emily tells him, stating the facts of the situation)

  Sis Gravestone: Thanks for the help, but I have ways of getting out of sticky situations. Its something I didn't want to use, so I'm really gd you came. (Sis tells her with a smile)

  Emily Gravestone: No need to get all tender on me, It's the least I can do. (Emily tells him happily)

  Sis Gravestone: I'm surprised Annabelle was actually able to damage that thing. That literally shouldn't be possible... Unless. (Sis narrows his gaze)... Inspect! (Sis quickly activates the skill, not even trying to hide it anymore)

  Emily Gravestone: Hey! (Emily yells at him)

  [Inspect]

  [Name: Emily Gravestone]

  [Race: Human (Dream Demon)]

  [Title: Nightmare Warrior]

  [Level: 1]

  [Skills: Queen of Nightmares]

  Sis Gravestone: You've evolved?! That's amazing! (Sis said happily)

  Emily Gravestone: Stop spying on my skills, you know how much I hate that! (Emily shouts in annoyance, lightly punching him several times on the shoulder)

  Sis Gravestone: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm just so happy for you. (Sis tells her, happy with the progress she's made)... You know if we keep going at this pace, we'll become Lords in no time, right? (Sis tells her, already making pns for the future)

  Emily's expression turns sour at the mention of progression, a quick reminder of the choices that sets them apart.

  Emily Gravestone: After everything that man has put us through, you're still trying to appease him? Why can't you understand that he's no good for us? All those pns to save the world, are completely insane! (Emily tells him with sadness in her words, and frustration filling her thoughts)

  Sis Gravestone: (Sighs) I understand where you're coming from, I really do. But it's not like we have a choice. The new world is happening with or without us, so we can't just sit this one out... Besides, there's more at stake than just us. (Sis expins to her sadly)

  Emily Gravestone: (Grumbles) I guess you're right about that, but that doesn't mean I'm going to work with your team or whatever. I'm going to get stronger on my own, and dominate the new world! (Emily procims confidently)

  Sis Gravestone: (Chuckles) Fine by me. (Sis tells his sister before opening a rift, the siblings smiling as they calmly exit the Infinite Graveyard Domain, just before it completely falls apart)
