Conrad arrived home and crawled down the ladder into his strange underground home. Why he and his cat mother decided to live under the ground, he had no clue. He had a sickly feeling it had something to do with Freckles' mysterious criminal past.
“FRECKLES!” Conrad screamed down the dimly lit hallway. “I'M HOME FOR THE SUMMER! HURRAY!”
“CRAP” was Freckles' response.
Ignoring her, Conrad silently entered his bed room – and screamed.
Freckles really took the mayor campaign to heart. She had even taken the liberty of redecorating his room to an inviting but rather creepy Pippy Urgency theme. His bed sheets had a picture of Urgency's smiling face on them. Urgency curtains were draped over the windows. A huge, creepy blanket with his face on it was draped over his recording studio, where he sang exclusive Stacie songs.
Conrad stood in the doorway, breathing heavily.
“FRECKLES!” he roared. “NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU GO INTO MY ROOM AND CHANGE MY FURNITURE. I'M BUYING A SECURITY CAMERA WHERE I CAN WATCH WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE WHEN I'M NOT IN IT!! THAT'LL SHOW YOU!!”
Conrad stopped breathing when he noticed a pile of poop on his bed.
He pounded down the stairs.
“SHUT UP!” Freckles screamed.
“I need you to respect my property,” Conrad growled the second he found Freckles in the living room.
“I'm your MOTHER,” Freckles reminded him.
“No! In fact, I'm pretty sure you stole me from the orphanage when I was just a child,” Conrad replied.
“Did noottt,” Freckles whined.
“Whatever,” Conrad snapped. “Anyway, you're taking this mayor campaign way too seriously. You're creeping the neighborhood out.”
“You know how obsessive I can get,” Freckles replied. “And if you can't accept me for who I am then I guess I have to send you back to the orphanage.”
“AHA!” Conrad screamed.
“Shut up!” Freckles snapped, smacking him with her tail.
“CHANGE MY ROOM BACK AND CLEAN YOUR POOP,” Conrad demanded.
“NO!” Freckles roared.
The two stared at each other breathing heavily.
“You,” Conrad spoke furiously, “are a mystery.”
“And YOU have just doomed the other candidates to a horrible, scary fate.”
“You better not do anything to Edna Fletcher, Gubgub, or Professor Gaga!” Conrad gasped.
“Watch me!” Freckles cried. With the speed of a jaguar, Freckles sprinted down the hallway and over to the telephone. Conrad raced after her, knocking over an expensive china tea set.
“Hello, Alexis Grace!” Freckles spoke happily into the phone.
“Alexis Grace?! WHY DID YOU CALL LOGAN'S MOTHER?!”
“I have a mission for you,” Freckles said. “I need you and your crew to assassinate the following beings: Professor Gaga, Edna Fletcher, and Gubgub.”
“NOOOO!” Conrad screamed. “I'm sorry I yelled at you Freckles! But no matter what happens, you DON'T murder people!”
“I don't care about your parole! Just don't get caught!” Freckles snapped at the phone.
There was a short moment of silence.
“Hello?” Freckles asked. “Hello?”
She smashed the phone with her tail.
“... Why?” Conrad asked sadly.
“So the government can't track me,” Freckles cackled. “Say goodbye to Lady Gaga, cause she's never makin' a song again.”
Conrad stared at terrified for a couple of seconds. He then took off sprinting into the dark night, heading for Logan's house.

Chapter 2 - Secret Sibling
“Logan, you have a sister,” Alexis Grace said.
Logan stopped walking mid step.
He should have known something like this would be coming. It was typical Alexis Grace. She always revealed shocking secrets to Logan in small doses, and she hadn't told him anything life changing in a while.
“What's her name?” Logan asked.
“LUKAS SHANAYNAY!” Alex Grace screamed.
The 2 ran down the stairs, covered in pins encouraging citizens to 'VOAT 4 GUGBUB!!!!!!!11!11one!!'
“What?! We're in the middle of campaigning!!!!!!!” Lukas screamed.
Logan and Alexis Grace regarded them silently.
“We have a sister,” Logan said. “By the way you spelled Gubgub wrong.”
“PAN-PAN, COME IN HERE!” Alexis Grace demanded.
A little boy walked in.
“Mother, you've forgotten my gender. Again,” Pan-pan reminded her impatiently. “Plus, can you please not call me Pan-pan and call me Levi? It's the name that the leaders of the orphanage gave me.”
“Can we leave now?” Shanaynay demanded impatiently.
“SHUT UP SHANAYNYAY NO ONE LIKES YOU!” Alexis Grace screamed. Shanaynay hung her head. Alexis Grace turned back to Levi. “Now, Levi, tell your new siblings where you have been for the past 11 years.”
“At the adoption center,” Levi replied.
“And why were you at the adoption center?” Alexis Grace pressed.
“Because I ran away from home when I was three weeks old,” Levi answered.
“AHA!” Alexis Grace gasped. “Finally, after all these years, the truth comes out!”
“The truth came out 11 years ago when I told you I was running away via signal fire!”
Alexis Grace slapped him.
“Don't ruin my sunshine boy!” she cried.
She exited. Lukas nervously approached him.
“Hay Pan-pan,” he said cautiously. “Would you like to help us make some political pins for our pet fish?”
Levi looked around, pretending he had never heard him.
“Welcome to the family, I guess,” Logan said. “You can sleep down the hall to the left.”
“Why thank you very much sir,” Levi said.
At midnight Alexis Grace was on the telephone whispering.
“Yes... I do agree that Urgency is the best candidate for the job. But I don't care if he loses. I'm on PAROLE!”
“Alexis Grace get off the phone you're running the bill!” Logan snapped.
Alexis Grace jumped. She hadn't noticed him.
“Gtg bai!” she said and crushed the phone with her teeth.
She turned around to face Logan.
“Care to explain?” he demanded.
“Um I crushed the phone because you surprised me,” she stammered.
“That doesn't make sense! Who were you on the phone with at midnight? Are you planning another crime?” Logan demanded.
Alexis Grace gasped. She looked around nervously, then silently leaped out the window instead of answering.
Logan looked out the window just in time to see hummingbirds carrying her away into the night.
Walking back to the hallway, he checked the caller ID.
What was Alexis Grace doing?
And why was she on the phone with... Conrad?!
Logan stopped walking mid step.
He should have known something like this would be coming. It was typical Alexis Grace. She always revealed shocking secrets to Logan in small doses, and she hadn't told him anything life changing in a while.

Gift of a friend chapter 1 - SUMMER
Maria screamed happily, throwing her textbooks at the wall and sprinting across the Supul Academy courtyards with no real destination. The yards were empty except for her.
It had happened.
The final bell of the school year had sounded.
And she was free!
Maria was looking forward to a relaxing summer. After an undeniably difficult school year (with passing Noriega's Supul class, uncovering a disturbing mass murder plot from a fellow student, stopping a demon and what not) she felt she earned a relaxing vacation.
She stuck out her arm, expecting Miley to hand her her purse, until she remembered that Miley had left for a summer tour a couple days ago. She dejectedly put down her arm.
“Hay Mimi!” Logan's voice called from above. Less than a second later his giant hair straightener swooped down. He jumped off, landing next to her.
“Oh hay pod where are we going today,” Conrad asked. His Gagabot hovered over to them, landing down a few feet away.
Maria stopped sprinting long enough so they both could catch up. Dante also ran up to her.
“Hay babe,” Maria grinned.
“Hay chippy,” Dante said. “Where are we heading today?”
“Um let's go to Apple Grove. I heard they opened up a new apple restaurant that lets you customize your own seeds. It'll be fun come 'um,” Logan said.
“A truly delightful way to start the summer,” Maria noted.
“Agreed,” Conrad said.
They arrived. The Apple sisters were also there. Sonya climbed pine trees in the background while Vicky crouched in the corner sobbing. A gentle steam cloud rose from her face.
“Hay Vicky what's wrong with you and your sister?” Conrad asked nervously.
“She's checking every bird's next in the country to make sure the messenger pigeons from Supul Academy didn't lost her letter of admission into the school,” Vicky explained. “I'm in the corner crying because being her hurts.”
“Oh you poor thing,” Logan said and gently pet her ponytail.
Sonya deftly climbed to the top of another pine tree.
“VICKY I SEE MY LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE! I KNEW THEY LEFT IT UP HERE! HAHA – OH, WAIT... THAT'S JUST AN ANGRY MOTHER EAGLE! OOPS...!”
A sharp bird caw sounded. The mother eagle grabbed Sonya in her claws and soared away. The remnants of her apple collage she was working on splattered across the forest floor.
Maria, Logan, Conrad, Vicky, and Dante watched silently.
“Ever since I destroyed the Academy a couple minutes ago,” Vicky broke the silence, “they've been finishing off the construction. I heard that the mayor-wannabe Pippy Urgency wants to add an entire new section to the building by the winter break.”
“We're getting a new mayor?” Logan asked.
“What happened to the old one, pray tell?” Dante asked.
“Oh... well I sort of ate him,” Vicky said.
“Oh.”
“Who are the other candidates?” Maria asked.
“A bunch of random people who don't know the first thing about politics. Professor Gaga, Logan's pet fish Gubgub, and some woman named Edna Fletcher,” Vicky replied.
“Gubgub's running?” Logan asked. Vicky nodded.
“Hmm,” Maria said. “This'll be interesting.”
She stood up from the table, accidentally knocking a pile of apples onto Vicky. Her ponytail caught on fire.
She stood up screaming. “PUT IT OUT PUT IT OUT PUT IT OUT!!!!!!”
She panicked and sprinted across the room in endless circles. The four chased after her and splashed coconut milk on her ponytail until the flame died away.
“... I'm so sorry,” Maria whispered.
It had happened.

Chapter 93 ending
The next month and a half went by in a flash. Half of Supul Academy was destroyed, so the school just decided to give everyone an A for the rest of the year.
The pod, Dante, and Sara all became the most famous people in Trenton.
But none of them were half as famous as Vicky.
“Aah! It's the monster!” some random kid in the hallway screamed.
Vicky growled angrily.
The kid ran away screaming.
It was finally the day of graduation. Everyone in their grade was lined up behind the stage. A huge crowd sat facing them.
“And we'd like to give a huge thanks to Ashley Muscles, Vito Rodent, Alex Muhdde, and George Ieatpeople for saving these next childrens' lives,” Noriega said into the microphone.
The crowd cheered.
“Dante Multiplex!”
He stepped out. The crowd cheered happily. There was no surprise that he was graduating.
“Sara Smilehappygirl!”
The crowd burst into applause.
“She's the girl!” Justin Tinkleheart shouted.
“Vicky Apple!”
The crowd screamed in fear. Sonya burst in to delighted screams. Vicky stomped out, grabbed the trophy, and left.
“Conrad Teatea!”
“YEAH!!” Gaga and Miss Nana screamed.
“BOO! BOO!” Freckles yelled.
“Logan Grace!”
Lukas, Shanaynay, and Alexis Grace burst into applause, louder than the rest of the crowd.
“Aaaand... Maria Flakk!”
The crowd cheered again. Maria bounced out, happily accepted her trophy, and skipped around the stage triumphantly.
The crowd stared blankly.
“Oh yeah,” Miley said, satisfied. She leaned back in her chair. “That's a girl who made the climb.”
Later, they were all in Noriega's class for the last period of the year.
“Well, since I never got to pass out these text books from half a year ago, there's nothing else to do except sing. Maria, would you like to sing a song summarizing the year?” Noriega asked.
“Um not doin' it,” Maria replied.
Noriega dismissed the class to talk. Maria, Logan, Conrad, Vicky, and Sara sat in a circle.
“What a strange year this has been. Thank goodness we survived it,” Vicky said.
“Yes,” Conrad said, pouring tea. “Shall we toast?”
The five picked up their tea cups.
“To us,” Sara said.
“And to actually surviving the school year!” Logan said.
“And to many more,” Maria said.
They all took a polite sip of tea, just as the final bell rang.
And the school year was finally over.
Soz for the freaking worst ending in the history of books

Chapter 92 The Supul Orb
Sara sprinted through Trenton.
Clovervicky was somewhere else in town, attacking the pod.
Her friends.
She was hear to save them, and all of Trenton. It was all up to her.
She reached the Supul Academy parking lot.
The Academy had a gaping hole on the side of the building.
The school was slowly collapsing.
*gI have to do this,*h she said to herself, and started to run.
*gSara!*h someone screamed.
It was Sonya. Her and Miley were standing outside of the Academy.
*gGet to somewhere safe!*h Sara cried, and ran inside.
Chunks of the ceiling were crumbling and falling to the floor. Sara dodged in between them, trying to reach the basement.
Reaching the entrance, she leaped down the stairs, stumbling through the darkness to reach Dante's locker.
It was locked. Sara looked around desperately, then grabbed a boulder off the ground and smashed it into the locker. The door came of its hinges, clattering to the ground.
She dropped the rock and reached inside Dante's locker.
Yes!
She grabbed the glowing Supul orb, and ran for the stairs.
By now, the Academy was collapsing even faster. Sara ducked to avoid a falling boulder, clutching the Supul orb close to her.
Several boulders were going to land right on top of her. She threw herself to the ground and rolled away, crashing in to the far wall. The exit was so close!
Getting to her feet, she sprinted to the exit, ducking outside just in time.
Not breaking her stride, she sprinted to the center of the town, where Clovervicky was.
The whole town was covered with a thick fog. As Sara ran, the orb grew brighter, and some of the Supul in the air around her cleared. The dark day suddenly grew a lot brighter.
Clovervicky was now in sight.
*gClovervicky!*h she screamed, getting closer. The monster didn't hear her. She ran down the road, getting closer.
*gCLOVERVICKY!*h
The monster turned to face her. Sara saw Maria's plane crashing down through the sky behind her, and prayed that no one was inside.
Clovervicky saw her, and roared furiously.
*gHERE I COME!*h Sara screamed. She raced forward, throwing the orb at the monster.
Clovervicky lunged at her, dodging the orb. Sara threw herself to the ground, and rolled behind a building for cover. Concrete flew everywhere around her.
Sara crouched down, trying to catch her breath. Clovervicky wasn't making any noises. Had it worked? She peeked out from behind the building -
The entire structure started to shake precariously, as though it was about to fall down on top of her. Screaming, she got up and started to run away.
Clovervicky saw her and lunged, smashing the ground around Sara. The grass beneath her exploded, flinging Sara high in to the air.
She screamed, crashing into a small tree across the park, and toppling over. She then stopped running, awaiting the final blow -
All was silent.
Clovervicky had stopped roaring. Sara turned around.
The Supul orb had crashed into the road and cracked open, releasing a powerful surge of whatever was inside of it. It had struck Clovervicky, and the monster had froze.
Slowly, Clovervicky started to shrink. She became smaller, and the roaring stopped.
Soon, all was completely silent. Sara ran forward.
By the time she got there, Vicky lay on the ground unconscious. Sara knelt down next to her.
*gVicky,*h Sara whispered. Vicky's eyes wouldn't open. She wasn't breathing.
*gVicky!*h Sara sobbed, shaking her. She still wouldn't react. Had she gone too long without the Britemiscope...?
*gVICKY!*h
Finally, Vicky's eyes cracked open, weakly at first. After seeing Sara, she smiled.
*gSara,*h she smiled. *gBFF.*h
Sara sobbed, hugging her close, tears streaming down her face.
*gOwe, no huggie!*h Vicky said, pushing Sara off of her. *gMy head still hurts.*h
Sara chuckled.
*gDon't worry. You're gonna be ok.*h
Someone could be heard approaching. Looking up, they saw it was Sonya.
*gSONYA!*h
*gVICKY!*h
The two sisters collapsed, sobbing and hugging. Everything seemed like it was going to be ok...
Until Miley showed up.
*gWhere's...?*h Miley whispered so only Sara could hear.
With a jolt, Sara remembered how she had seen Maria's plane collapsing into the ground. She took of sprinting to where she had seen the plane...
*gMOVE, GEORGE, MOVE!*h Alex, Ashley, and Vito screamed. They were back in their human forms, pushing the Supul George over a few feet.
Up in the sky, Maria was hurtling to the ground. All she could see was the sky, which was suddenly bright. She didn't have much time until she was going to crash into the ground -
Maria hit George's stomach, hard. She bounced up and down like she was on a trampoline. Logan, Conrad, and Dante also landed safely on George's stomach.
They had survived!
*gGUYS!*h
Looking up, the group saw Vicky, Sara, Sonya, and Miley sprinting towards them.
*gGuys! We're alive!*h Dante cried.
The four slid off of the quickly shrinking George.
*gAshley, Vito, Alex and George saved us as we were falling!*h Maria exclaimed.
*gIt was quite close,*h Dante said.
*gBut you did it!*h Logan cried.
*gYou saved us all!*h Conrad said.

Chapter 92 Part 2
Clovervicky could be heard just behind them.
The race to Supul Academy was on. If they let Clovervicky beat them, their plan, and Trenton, were over. They HAD to win.
All four sets of hands slammed into the gas pedal at the same time, launching them ahead.
“Come on...!”
Clovervicky reached out to grab them. Maria spun the plane to the left, avoiding her reach. They spun out of control, heading towards the Academy.
Maria managed to stop spinning the plane, just feet away from the Academy walls. Clovervicky leaped after them. Maria steered away from the Academy, hoping to lead the monster away.
“She's blocking the entrance! How are we gonna get in?!”
Clovervicky's hand was slowly coming towards them...
Dante grabbed the yoke, jamming it to the left. They turned, slamming through a window, and into the Academy.
CRUNCH!
Inside, all was silent. The plane sped along the hallway swiftly.
“Whoa! That was a close one!”
As they flew along the hallways, they passed several things they were so used to seeing daily, except this time in a brand new light. They passed Noriega's classroom, and the Supul closet inside.
Past the basement entrance, with all of its mysteries inside.
Past the girl's bathroom, with a shallow puddle of tea leaking out into the hallway.
“If we could just lead Clovervicky down into the cafeteria, it might work,” Maria said.
“Hurry! I think I hear something!” Miley called. Sonya and Mr. Conelly rushed in, arms filled with apples from the kitchen, and dropped them into a giant pit of apples they already created.
“Why am I here?” Mr. Conelly whined, shivering with fear.
“To SAVE THE WORLD!” Miley said.
The plane soared in, landing on the floor. Maria, Logan, Conrad, and Dante rushed out.
“Is the apple pit ready?!” Maria asked.
Miley and Sonya glanced at the giant pile of apples a couple of feet to the left, and didn't say anything.
“Is she really going to come in here?” Mr. Conelly whined.
“Yes, which is why Miley and Sonya need to get out of here,” Conrad said.
There was a distant rumbling.
“Hurry!” Miley cried, grabbing Sonya's arm and going to leave. After another nervous glance, Sonya followed her.
“HAY!” Logan shouted. Mr. Conelly was trying to sneak away!
“Get him!” Dante cried.
Mr. Conelly sprinted out of the room screaming.
“No!” Conrad gasped.
The rumbling grew louder. Without any warning, Clovervicky burst through the far wall, roaring horribly.
“RUN!!”
The four sprinted towards the plane.
Clovervicky screamed an ear-splitting scream, the apples scorching her skin.
“It's hurting her, but it's not turning her back into Vicky!” Maria whispered.
“Let's get out of here,” Dante said.
The plane flew out of the cafeteria. Clovervicky was completely silent.
“Did... it work?” Maria asked.
Clovervicky smashed through the floor roaring, even angrier than before.
“OH MY GOD!”
Maria looked forward. It was a dead end.
“Guys, this is - “
“MOVE!”
Once again, Dante steered the plane out of the Academy through a window, this time barely avoiding Clovervicky's mouth.
“We can't keep avoiding her,” Logan said. “There has to be an end to this all, soon.”
Clovervicky had followed them outside.
“The engine can't take it!” Maria screamed. The plane was beginning to drop right out of the sky, little by little.
“LEFT!”
Maria steered to the left, looping behind a building.
“We have to find some place to hide!” Conrad screamed.
Maria spun upside down to avoid a truck that Clovervicky had thrown at them.
“We're going down...”
The plane began spiraling to the ground. Clovervicky was getting ready for the final strike.
“NO!”
The plane jolted to the left. The wing snapped off, plummeting to the ground. The four toppled in to each other.
“NOOO!”
The windows smashed, glass cutting their skin.
“HERE IT COMES!”
The nose of the plane was knocked off. The front caught on fire.
“WAAH!”
“LOGAN!!”
Maria saw Logan being sucked out of a hole in the wall of the plane.
Before she knew it, she herself was airborne, free falling through the air. All she could see was the sky, which was suddenly much brighter.
“MARIA!”
“PLEASE!”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!”
CRUNCH!!!
The race to Supul Academy was on. If they let Clovervicky beat them, their plan, and Trenton, were over. They HAD to win.
All four sets of hands slammed into the gas pedal at the same time, launching them ahead.
“Come on...!”
Clovervicky reached out to grab them. Maria spun the plane to the left, avoiding her reach. They spun out of control, heading towards the Academy.
Maria managed to stop spinning the plane, just feet away from the Academy walls. Clovervicky leaped after them. Maria steered away from the Academy, hoping to lead the monster away.
“She's blocking the entrance! How are we gonna get in?!”
Clovervicky's hand was slowly coming towards them...
Dante grabbed the yoke, jamming it to the left. They turned, slamming through a window, and into the Academy.
CRUNCH!

CRUNCH!!!
Chapter 91 Part 1
“We HAVE to be careful,” Dante reminded the group once again.
The four were coming down from Mt. Climb. Trenton could not be seen, because it was far in the distance and there was a huge cloud of fog in its place.
“I really hope our plan works,” Logan said nervously.
“The timing has to be perfect,” Conrad whispered.
“We can do it,” Dante said, faking confidence.
The small group walked to the edge of the Delaware River. Across the bridge was Trenton, Supul Academy... and Clovervicky.
The four walked up to the Delaware bridge...
Or at least what was left of it.
“Wow,” Conrad said.
The left half of the bridge was still stable, but the entire right half was replaced by a giant bite mark. Whatever remained of the bridge was twisted up, cracks running up and down the entire structure. The left half was tilted at an incredibly dangerous angle, facing the deadly waters of the Delaware river.
In other words, there was no way to Trenton.
“This ain't good,” Logan said.
“Maria, can't you call your plane or something?” Dante asked nervously.
Maria shook her head.
“Only when I have Supul.”
“Well, there's only one way across then.”
Everyone stared at the nearly-destroyed bridge silently.
“I'll go first,” Maria broke the silence.
“Are you sure we want to cross the bridge?” Conrad asked.
“Yeah. I don't think there's any other way.”
Maria grabbed the edge of the left side of the bridge, and hoisted herself on top of it. It wasn't like the remaining half of the bridge was going to collapse under their weight, but there was so little room to move, and the cement was so fragile...
Maria started to gradually worm her way across the bridge. Conrad climbed on after her, followed by Logan. Dante was last. They had to be extremely careful. Just one slip and a couple yards...
They climbed across in silence, groping for hand and foot holds. Maria put her foot on a solid-looking chunk of cement -
Crunch!
It cracked beneath her feet, skittering down the side of the bridge and into the deadly waters just yards beneath them. Maria gasped, groping for a strong handhold -
She slid down the side of the bridge, screaming. She tried to grab something, anything. Logan Conrad and Dante yelled and shouted in the background. Suddenly, she felt nothing beneath her, and something snagged on her jacket, ripping it in half. Her hand flew up, and she barely caught the edge of the bridge.
She stopped sliding.
“Is she still there?” Dante asked shakily, almost whispering.
Maria opened her eyes. Her neck down was hanging off the side of the twisted bridge, less than a yard above the river. Her jacket, which had caught onto a sharp rock, was torn in half right down the middle. She was barely holding on to a cement chunk right on the edge of the bridge.
“Yeah! I'm here!” Maria called.
“Can you climb back up?” Logan called down to her.
There was a little bit of silence.
“Yeah. Definitely.”
Maria focused deeply. She calmly breathed in and out, like Miley had taught her. She could do this. She would make it.
With the arm that wasn't clinging on to the chunk of cement that saved her life, she felt around for a higher rock. Feeling one, she clung on to it, and hauled herself up. Gradually, she worked her way back onto the bridge completely.
“Ok. Let's go.”
There was a short moment of silence.
“Wow,” Conrad said.
After slowly and incredibly carefully inching their way across the bridge, the group arrived at Trenton. They hopped off of the bridge gratefully.
“Ok. Here we are. This is it,” Dante said.
“Everyone ready?” Maria asked.
The group nodded.
“Ok. Let's go.”
The four crossed into the city.
Everything around them was silent, besides from the distant roaring and smashing. The fog that surrounded the city obscured their vision, so that they couldn't even see five feet ahead of them.
As they traveled, Maria noticed something was wrong. Something about the whole scene just seemed so... off. Maybe it was because she was so used to seeing the streets filled with people... no, that wasn't it.
“Hey... wait a minute. This... isn't fog,” she said. Everything seemed blurier... she couldn't think clearly...
“She's right!” Logan cried. “This is Supul!”
The four could already feel the Supul changes beginning.
“RUN!” Conrad screamed.
They had to reach a Supul-free area, and fast, before they were sent into their Supul forms and couldn't control themselves.
“Where are we going?!” Dante's voice called from somewhere in the fog.
“To my plane! It has vacuum-protected walls and crap!” Maria yelled.
Just as they were getting nearer to Supul Academy, four dark figures slowly emerged through the fog, walking directly towards them.
“Oh no...,” all four humans said.
Facing them were Ashley, Vito, Alex, and George, all in their Supul forms. A hulking scorpion, Vrat, the bacon scarecrow, and deBlob.
“Get ready, guys!” Dante cried.
Vrat was the first to jump, landing directly in front of Maria. Before anyone could defend her, the other three demons had attacked.
Logan was shoved over onto the ground by an unknown force. He scrambled to his feet, and found himself face-to-face with the bacon scarecrow. It threw a punch at him, blasting him back through the air in less than a second. He had to time to react.
Conrad dodged deBlob's blubber blast, leaping through the air and rolling underneath a park bench, which was destroyed a second later. Conrad lurched out of the way.
Dante didn't know what hit him. It felt like a miniature truck had hit him in the face. He flew back, smashing into a wall.
The scorpion was on him like ugly on an ape, punching him and kicking him, almost literally tearing him apart.
There was almost no hope. The four were being relentlessly destroyed...
That's when the Supul kicked in.
Logan socked Alex right in the face, his arm alight with green flames. Alex spun around. Logan zapped him with a laser beam from his eyes. Alex soared through the air, smashing through a brick wall and into a building.
Crunch!
“Teateatea,” Conrad whispered to himself, rocking back and forth. Just as George was about to slam him into oblivion, Conrad exploded like a time bomb. George screamed in shock, his blubber being severely burned.
Ashley was pummeling Dante into dust. She raised her stinger for the final attack, and went to stab him – suddenly, Dante caught it just inches from his throat, stopping it with brute force. He completely twisted the stinger around, then kicked her in the stomach. She doubled over in pain, defeated.
Meanwhile, Vrat was just about to bite out Maria's throat. She whipped her head to the side, whacking his face with a huge amount of hair. She then leaped to her feet, and whistled for her plane.
“GUYS, COME ON!” she had just enough time to scream, before Vrat lunged at her again. She threw herself to the ground, rolling to the left and getting to her feet again in less than a second. Vrat skittered out of sight. Maria took advantage of the fog and hid.
There was still a little bit of anti-Supul sanity left in them...
Her plane flew into sight, crashing through buildings and Ashley's head to get to them. It clumsily landed in front of her.
“COME ON GUYS!!”
Maria leaped inside, followed by Logan and Conrad.
“Where's Dante?!”
He leaped into sight, flying into the plane. Logan slammed the door shut.
All 4 sighed, the Supul leaving their system. Maria started to drive down the road at top speed.
“Fly away! They're catching up!” Conrad cried, looking out the back window.
“I can't! If I do, Clovervicky might see us,” Maria said.
“Well, then DRIVE faster!” Logan screamed.
Alex leaped on the window, blocking Maria's view. She screamed as it started to scratch through the window.
The plane jolted, as though something heavy had landed on the roof. Vrat started to claw its way through the ceiling.
Crunch!!
Ashley punched the side, creating a huge dent. A shadow crossed over the windows as deBlob got closer.
“Maria! FLY!” Dante roared.
Without another thought, Maria pulled the yoke back as far as it would go. The plane started to fly straight up, almost vertical. Alex was flung off the window.
All four sighed in relief. They had escaped!
“Now all we have to do is get to Supul Academy and - “ Conrad began.
“Shh! We don't want to make any noise. Clovervicky might hear us,” Maria said.
They flew in silence. Logan, Conrad, and Dante gazed out of the windows, keeping watch.
“There she is,” Logan whispered, just above a breath.
Maria peered out the window. A gigantic mass was standing there, right in the middle of the city, less than half a mile away, taller than most buildings.
Clovervicky.
Maria, Logan, Conrad, and Dante were staring at it with such amazement that they didn't even notice what she was looking at.
“She sees us,” Dante said. The other three turned to stare at him.
“SHE SEES US! GO!” Dante screamed.
Maria grabbed the yoke, spinning it around rapidly. Clovervicky lurched forward, roaring.
The plane barely dodged her. She had jumped half a mile to reach them.
“LEFT!” Logan screamed. The plane turned so fast that the 3 toppled to the floor. Clovervicky could be seen spinning past the window, roaring furiously.
“Come on! GO!” Dante shouted.
Maria pressed the gas pedal into the floor, literally grinding a tiny piece of it off.
“HOLD ON!” she screamed, steering it straight down towards the ground. It shot straight in between Clovervicky's closing fingers.
“WHOA!”
Dante's butt crashed into the back of Maria's head. She slammed forward, painfully smashing into the dashboard, and ricocheted back, tumbling out of the seat, leaving the plane for a free-fall.
Conrad toppled over into the seat.
“WAAH!”
Not knowing what he was doing, he grabbed the yoke, pulling it all the way out. The plane turned from straight down to straight up just seconds before it crashed into the road. The tail smacked into the road, sparks flying.
Maria shoved Conrad to the floor, steadying the plane. Everyone was able to get back to their feet.
“LOOK! THERE IT IS!” Logan screamed, pointing straight ahead.
Everyone looked ahead, once again filled with hope.
There it was!!
SUPUL ACADEMY!!
Unfortunately, their view was then blocked off by the giant black monster that they had almost forgotten about, and they were brought crashing back to unfortunate reality.
The four were coming down from Mt. Climb. Trenton could not be seen, because it was far in the distance and there was a huge cloud of fog in its place.
“I really hope our plan works,” Logan said nervously.
“The timing has to be perfect,” Conrad whispered.

“Yeah! I'm here!” Maria called.
“Can you climb back up?” Logan called down to her.
There was a little bit of silence.
“Yeah. Definitely.”
Maria focused deeply. She calmly breathed in and out, like Miley had taught her. She could do this. She would make it.
With the arm that wasn't clinging on to the chunk of cement that saved her life, she felt around for a higher rock. Feeling one, she clung on to it, and hauled herself up. Gradually, she worked her way back onto the bridge completely.
