Satan; (multiple voices)

Mr. Wails; (still sniffing)
One of those human has it, Master...

Satan; (multiple voices)
What the hell are you waiting Mr. Wails?

Mr. Wails; (bowing his head)
My Apology Master,
I can’t seem to identify who have it inside their heart.

Satan; (multiple voices) (showing his real form)
You fool!

Mr. Wails move back and whimpers like as small puppy. While Satan walk towards the family while regenerating his human form. Mr. Wails follow him. When suddenly a white light appears from the city, the Keeper with his Guardians renewing their strength and power, So Satan quickly instructs Mr. Wails to attack the family. The Family inside the car saw Mr. Wails in his Werewolf form started the car’s engine and drive fearfully away from them.

Satan; (multiple voices)
Don’t let them get away. Get my Key.

Back at the City,

Leto;
We must hurry, Wails already found another Key.

Llandra;
We must go there quickly.

Cattusia;
Can you sense where they are Keeper?

Alex; (closing his eyes and concentrating)
Wait, this is getting weirder, and weirder man!
Wails is chasing a family van

The Guardians are looking each other while Alex was speaking.

LAntis;
One of the Key must be inside that Van,
We must help them and protect the key.

Plague; (while landing)
No! No!

Leto;
Plague!

Plague;
Why can’t you all just die!

CAttusia;
As long you and your Master won’t stop trying to take this world.
We are not going to die.

Alex;
We must go.

Plague;
Ah Ah, don’t move Keeper.

Plague respire different kind of insect and breathe it at the five scattered civilian’s bodies that died from the zombies attack, making the civilians bodies covered with different kind of flesh eating insects and controlled by Plague to be his Spates.

CAttusia;
Keeper, go with Leto and Lantis
We’ll fight Plague.
Lantis, Leto protect the Keeper and get the Next Key.

Plague;
Spates don’t let them escape!

Lantis;
Keeper where are they?

Alex; (holding Lantis’ head to share the where about of the next Key)
Here…

As Lantis knew where is the location of the key and Satan, he hurriedly open a white portal, then instruct Alex and Leto to hastily enter it. While Cattusia and Llandra face off Plague and his pestilence of spates, they both draw their weapons.

Plague;
Devour them!

Cattusia;
Let’s go Llandra.

CAttusia draw her whip, to lash one Plague’s spates on its neck but, the insect that covers its whole body eat the whip. While Llandra, use her two golden flute to decapitate it, but the Spates exhale flesh eating insect from its mouth, which made Llandra fall back, then the five Spates simultaneously and continuously spits at the two Guardians, Plague at far back enjoying the show. Smiling crazily as the two Guardians evaded his Five Spates.

Plague; (laughing voice)
Eat them, eat their eyes
Their brains, their hearts
Up into their bones, eat them up my Spates.

Llandra; (evading attacks and slashing the Spates)
Their just attacking recklessly, like zombies
But much more persistent,

Cattusia; (evading Spates’ attacks)
I have a plan.
Just follow my lead?

Llandra; (still evading)
Your plan should be good.
Cause they’re like regenerating their wounds…

Cattusia; (using her umbrella slashed one Spates from its body)
Just do what I said okay?

Llandra; (back dive to evade the attack of one Spate)
Alright!

Plague; (laughing voice)
Just give up Guardians,
You can’t handle my Soldiers.

Cattusia; (kicking one Spate)
The only way to stop them is we get the host.

Llandra; (slash and kick the spate in front of her)
And how can we do that,
We can't even kill of one his Spates.

Cattusia; (still evading Spates attacks)
Just listen first, okay?

Llandra; (still evading the Spates attacks)
Alright, alright,
Why do I always stuck with you (whispering and fading voice)

Cattusia; (jump kind of far from the attacking Spates)
What’s that?

Llandra; (jump near Cattusia)
I said fire away, your plan.
I’m getting weary here.

Plague; (looking at the two Guardians)
My Spates there planning on something
Don’t stop, attacking them.

Llandra; (looking the Plague and the running Spates towards them)
What’s the plan? Hurry!

Cattusia;
Can you control at least one of the Spates?

Llandra;
What, that’s your plan?

Cattusia;
Just listen can you control one or at least more?

Llandra;
I’ll try,

Cattusia;
Do it, distract them,
I’ll handle Plague.
Ready…

Llandra draw her two golden flutes, she stick one of her flute on the ground and play an eerie hymn on the other flute, she done this to double the psychic effect.
Two Spates scream, and the insects that covers them vacates the civilians body, as Llandra continue to play her hymn, the insects that is being control by Llandra attack the three remaining Spates, with this Cattusia run and jump off at the middle and land as a black panther towards Plague, Plague surprise that Cattusia is in front of her.

Plague;
This is your plan?
To face me, alone!

Cattusia; (turning into her human form)
Why are you scared?

Plague jump off Cattusia, but Cattusia morph herself into a eagle, to poke Plague’s one eye, then as she land morph back again into her human form. Plague screaming for pain. Still Llandra using her mind control to the other insects manipulate the Spates to attack his own allies.

CAttusia; (dropping Plague’s eye and stabbing it with here umbrella)
I think you lost something?

Plague;
You low life creature
Gave it back

Cattusia;
Come and get it

Plague remove her rob and turn into pestilence of different kind of insects to attack Cattusia, but Cattusia signal Llandra to command the insects that she control to attack Plague then quickly turn herself into an panther again to run for cover.

Plague;
Aaaaaaaaaah!
My Spates…
I ‘am your Master
why are you, attacking me

As Plague struggle and fight her own Spates, her three other Spates started to vacates the bodies that they devour to attack Plague also.

Cattusia; (looking at plague)
We may not be stronger that you.

Llandra;
But we are definitely much smarter.

Plague; (screaming)
Damn you Guardians!

As plague open his mouth, insects enters in every holes from his bodies, his mouth, ears, nose, and his eyes. Even though the insects on his bodies fight the Spates eating him, the harassment is too much for him to handle, this made his whole body, burst like a bubble. While Cattusia and Llandra walk out of him…
