"The Williams' Estate Mom thought you were there so I wanted to spend some time with you I had a long day."
Katya replied to Daniel. This whole speech-to-text thing is far out.

'I'll be there' he responded back. An odd place to meet, in his opinion, but oh well. He got up, and changed clothes. He put on his jeans, white v neck t shirt, and a black jacket. He ran his fingers through his curly hair, and walked out to see if he could use Sylvia's car to go to the Estate...

After Fulong got well acquainted with his brother and his entire family, he headed back to Aiko. Fulong has never met Lei's son until yesterday, and he hasn't met Lei's daughter, either. All he could think is... where is the mother? She most certainly better be dead. But knowing Lei, they're both alive and well. He really doubted that demon would go after Zakk, since that boy's blood is impure.
Nonetheless, it was still nice to see he had family. He knocks on Aiko's door as he had to discuss a plan to seal the demon away.

Aiko opened the door, "Fulong...!" She smiled. "Come in..." She said. She left the door open, as she poured tea. "Matsuo and Sylvia are with Daniel at his cottage... I wanted to call you over." She turned to him. "We need to know where the staff of darkness is... We need to destroy it..." She said.
She slid Fulong's tea to him. "I fear the demon is close... I would for it to take the staff from under you..." She said.

Fulong entered the nice estate as he saw the tea that Aiko was brewing. He couldn't say no to that.
"We need to know where the staff of darkness is... We need to destroy it..."
"It's in a vault in my manor, well guarded with talismans." Fulong said. "Are you sure that's what has to be done?"

She shook her head, smiling. "It is time..." She said, giving Fulong somewhat a sinister smile. Soon, a staff came out from the shadows, hitting Fulong in the head...
---
"...Hey!!!!" Drusilla started to come to, hearing a man calling out to her. Her head rose, "Ugh..." Her head was pounding. She tried to move, but couldn't. Her hands were bound to a chair, aswell as her feet, with rope. She started to panic. "Where am I!?" She looked forward, as her vision cleared. Before her was a man chained to a chair. He was wearing no shirt, jeans, and was sporting a bruise on his forehead.
"My name is Daniel...." He revealed. She nodded. "Where are we...?" Daniel frowned a little. "My cottage..." Drusilla looked next to her, seeing an older man tied up with rope similar to hers. She continuously tried to break free, but the ropes were too tight.
"Your cottage...!?" She asked. She looked around, and was horrified to see a mirror suspended above them. She started to shake, "No.... NO!" She yelled out, beginning to cry. Daniel looked up, "Hey...! Calm down! We will figure out a way to get out of here... Aiko and Matsuo should be here soon... I hope they're okay!" He said. Daniel was scared, it wasn't since the Zaibatsu that he had felt so trapped. "Do you recognize the mirror."
Drusilla gasped, "Oh god!!!!" When she noticed two bodies behind Daniel. She started crying, tryin even harder to break free. Daniel turned his head, turned just enough to see the dead bodies of Sylvia and Aiko. "AIKO! SYLVIA!!!!!!!!" He yelled out. He tried to break free, but his chair was bolted to the ground, as was Drusilla's and Fulong's. "We need to get out, NOW!" Drusilla screamed out. She knew this scenario all too well...

Fulong immediately blacked out from the hit, as he was no trained fighter like his younger brother.
Once he came, to, he found himself bolted and tied up in a chair. He saw Aiko and Sylvia's corpses. He wasn't sure what had happened. Is this an illusion? Or is this real? He glanced over at Drusilla who had said that they needed to get out of here now.
"I'm not sure how to approach this." He said. "I could try and wriggle out." He does just that.
He remained calm, thinking this is an illusion. "We should all remain calm... and think positively. I need to physically inflict pain... that should get us out of here."

Daniel was crying, mourning the losses of his spiritual family. Drusilla was still trying to get out, at this point the ropes caused her wrists to bleed. "Trust me, I'm in tremendous pain!" She yelled out. She noticed a storm starting outside. Rain started hitting the windows and the roof. "We are in danger...." She said to the men. Daniel looked at her. "I can see that!" He yelled out. She shook her head, "No, you don't know!" The door swung open. Matsuo walked through, wielding the staff of light. His hands were wet with rain and blood, and the rest of him was soaked.
"Matsuo! Thank go-" Daniel started, before Matsuo punched him in the jaw. "Shut up...!" He said. Daniel looked at him, shocked. He looked at Drusilla. "I'm sure you recognize me...." He said to her.
Drusilla frowned. "You can't trust this man..." She said. "He's a devil worshiper!" She said, through her tears. Daniel was shaking, "What do you mean!? What's going on!? Why are you doing this!? Aiko was your mother, Sylvia was your WIFE!" He yelled out, his heart breaking. Matsuo raised a brow, pushing Drusilla's face towards Daniel with the staff. "You tell him what all of this means... You know better than anyone...." He then grinned, "It will prolong your suffering..."
Drusilla pulled herself together. Her face was wet at this point. "The two bodies... One pure and One Evil..." She began. "My mother!" Matsuo interrupted. "Lied to you for decades...." He laughed. "A practitioner of the dark arts, quite similar to Drusilla here..." He revealed her name to Daniel and Fulong. "But she's far too old to hold such power... So she sacrificed herself...."
Daniel shook his head, "I don't understand!!!!!!"
"Sylvia... my beautiful wife... She has the purest heart I've ever known... When it showed me her, I knew... she was the one!" He smiled. He then turned to Drusilla. "Continue, Witch...."
She spat in his face. "....There's a goblet of blood.... Their blood... somewhere...." Matsuo placed the goblet in between Drusilla and Daniel. "Mixed together...." He said, grinning, relishing his villainous moment. Drusilla looked up. "Then the mirror... You must be in the mirror..." She said, growing quiet.

"We are in danger...."
Fulong noted that Drusilla had cut herself and she was still in this situation. "So... this isn't an illusion. This is real? But how? And why? Let me guess, that half-breed of theirs is behind this... with his tainted blood." Fulong said.
However Matsuo appeared, as Fulong didn't seem too unfazed at all that this man is behind this. Yes, it was indeed a shocker, but not much of a shocker, considering how he is one of those wild half-breed children.
"A practitioner of the dark arts, quite similar to Drusilla here... But she's far too old to hold such power... So she sacrificed herself...."
"Whatever the hell you do, just leave my brother out of this!" Was all he managed to say. If anything he really did not need Little Wulong to get involved in this. However, maybe if he dies, his brother's super-awesome skills will come back and get revenge. He's more capable than the weak Xinglong, who was supposed to be his heir. As well as Zhulong... not to mention, Aiko, his ally and friend betrayed him. Of course you can't trust the Japanese. They're the ones who slaughter his whole entire family.
Father forgive me... He thought as he looked up. But it is best if your prized son stays out of this...
"Hey, when you guys get out, won't you just kick his ass and get us out of here?"
Fulong was helpless. He was wrong. Martial Arts wasn't foolish. It wasn't stupid... he only said that because he didn't want his brother to suffer the same fate their father had. He didn't want him to die... and now... Fulong finds that he might die before telling his brother how much he really meant to him. All of the things he's done, his regret. His biggest regret is not allowing Little Wulong to pursue his career. But all he can do is hope that he makes it out of here alive and tell his brother how sorry he is.

Matsuo laughed in Fulong's face. "You stupid old man!" He knelt in front of him. "You told my mother exactly where the other staff is, and now... I know..... and my lord knows where it is..." He poked Fulong in the forehead with the staff, "You are here so that you can't warn anyone to get it my lord does..." He grinned.
Daniel was shaking his head, "Your lord...!? We were brothers! How could you!?" Daniel was crushed, witnessing all the truth revealing itself.
Drusilla remained calm, "The ritual is missing one piece.... You can't finish it...." Matsuo grinned. "The skull, you mean...?" He laughed. He got close to her, "That's taken care of..." He said, grinning. She shook her head. "I will DIE BEFORE I LET THAT ABOMINATION BACK IN ME!" She yelled out. "You have NO IDEA What you are about to unleash, you are a FOOL!" She screamed.
Matsuo shook his head. "You're the fool, Drusilla...." He turned to Daniel. He took a deep breath, beginning to speak in latin...
Daniel was sobbing, like a child. "What's happening!?"

"You stupid old man! You told my mother exactly where the other staff is, and now... I know..... and my lord knows where it is...You are here so that you can't warn anyone to get it my lord does..."
Of course. This is not going to end well. His entire family is going to get slaughtered again. The very thing he swore and vowed he'd protect. The more he talked, the more Fulong realizes his jealousy he had toward his brother, and how his father was right to have chosen Wulong to be the heir.
"You can't get away with this!" He shouted.
Though it was futile, as Fulong is helpless.
"Your lord...!? We were brothers! How could you!?"
"Remember, he's a half-breed. They're always back-stabbing liars and cheaters." Fulong says to Daniel.
Just as Matsuo began chanting, Fulong closed his eyes, and did some chanting of his own. He wasn't sure if this would work, but this is all he can do. Wulong could have done this so much easier. He was stronger, better, and younger. Why did he have to be so jealous of him? He called upon his ancestors in his time of need, namely summoning the spirit of his father.

Matsuo finished the first part of the chant. He picked up the chalice of blood, and walked to Daniel. He put the lip to Daniel's mouth, holding his jaw. "Drink it..." Daniel kept his jaw locked, shaking his head. Matsuo then gripped Daniel's nose so hard, Daniel could feel it crack. He yelped out, with blood running down his mouth. Matsup turned the chalice upside down, and the mixed blood of Sylvia and Aiko ran down his throat, face, and chest. He gagged, crying.
"Please stop....!" Daniel begged. Matsuo tilted his head. "Keep quiet... NT-02..." He said, with an condescending tone. Daniel then quietly wept, as he did when he was a child.
Drusilla sat, thinking of something to do to get her, Daniel, and Fulong out of this... She could use magic, but then she'd be completely useless.... Her head shot up when she saw the mirror above vibrating. "PLEASE STOP!" She yelled out, begging Matsuo to quit the ritual. "IT'S NOT TOO LATE!" She yelled out.
Matsuo recited the second part of the ritual. Drusilla was very confused. She didn't see the skull anywhere... But then she knew, when Matsuo poured the blood on his own head. "Oh my god....." She whispered, shaking. She looked up, seeing a hand coming from the mirror. "STOP! DON'T DO IT!" She screamed out. Matsuo then grabbed the blade on the ground, and split his own flesh apart at the hairline. Daniel was sobbing, as Matsuo screamed. He then took his own hair, and ripped his own scalp back, revealing his skull. He then placed his skull against Daniel's forehead....
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!" Daniel was overwhelmed, and was screaming at the top of his lungs. Drusilla's side then started to throb, as she felt the mirror breaks into shards. She screamed, as the dust of the mirror went into the air, up the suspended mirror. Blood started spilling on the floor, from the hole that was left behind. She started to get sick from the pain, but it was nothing compared to the pain she went through before.
A cloaked figure came through the mirror, surrounding Daniel and Matsuo. Matsuo fell to the ground, as the darkness enveloped the screaming Daniel.

As Fulong chanted, he heard Drusilla scream, and Daniel, too, but he simply replied, "Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do. We must accept defeat gracefully."
Which is what Fulong is going to do. Accept this defeat gracefully. This whole thing is his fault.
However, he opened his eyes to see what Matsuo had done. This man just sliced himself up. Right in front of his very eyes. Fulong was no stranger to seeing people mutilate themselves, as his own mother sliced her arms down to the bone. He remained silent during the whole ritual.
"There's nothing anyone could do. Give in. Accept the defeat. Just as my ancestors did by the hands of the Japanese..."

As the darkness swarmed around Daniel, lightning struck through the roof of the hut. Rain starting pouring through the roof, soaking Drusilla and Fulong. She screamed, absolutely terrified. Fulong was calm, and she couldn't even see how. He talking about giving up, and with the mirror gone, she felt something within herself she hadn't felt in a long time. She refused to give up. She grit her teeth, and pulled her hand from the rope, ripping the skin on her hand. She screamed out, as she reached over with her bloodied hand, trying to untie the other hand. The mirror above shattered, pieces falling to the ground. Then, it was eerily quiet. She looked up.
Daniel was standing. He looked at Drusilla, and smiled at her. "Hello again.... Drusilla...." He smiled.
Drusilla trembled, keeping her eyes locked on him, still trying to untie her other hand. The Espelhar looked down at Matsuo, who was groaning.
"....master..." He said, quietly. "Feed on me..." He said. The Espelhar laughed, "You're far too pathetic to feed on..." It said to him. It then stomped Matsuo's head in repeatedly. It grit's it's newfound teeth, and then looked at Drusilla, it's foot still in Matsuo's head. "You would think they would have the gumption to listen to the wonderful witch who originally summoned me...." It reached down, taking the black cloak off of Matsuo's body, and threw it on it's back.
Blood was stained all over Daniel's body. Drusilla managed to get her other hand free, but slammed herself back, when The Espelhar knelt down. "Allow me..." It said, as it untied her feet. She then scrambled to get away from it, trying to untie Fulong. The Espelhar grinned at her newlyfound drive. "If you are worried about me killing you... No need... Your face seeing me inhabit this body is enough to feed a demon for a lifetime...." He said, laughing at her.
Drusilla freed Fulong, and grabbed his arm with her uninjured hand. The Espelhar waved at her, "Gotta go, sweetheart... I'll be seeing you soon..." It said, disappearing in a shroud of darkness... Drusilla looked at Fulong, "We need to go..." She then hurled over, griping her sidewound. "Now... We need to tell someone..."

It would appear that Daniel was now possessed by this demon. That the stupid half-breed summoned. Surprised that he was still alive, he was satisfied when the Espelhar killed Matsuo. That asshole had it coming. He was surprised when the demon freed Drusillia. Is it going to feed on him? What was going to happen next?
"If you are worried about me killing you... No need... Your face seeing me inhabit this body is enough to feed a demon for a lifetime...."
And the demon is going to spare her, and him. Truly the worst fate indeed. A fate worse than death. Fulong is forced to live with the guilt and pain of all the lives he's ruined.
"Gotta go, sweetheart... I'll be seeing you soon..."
"Get back here! Finish me off! Do it! Ahh! You coward!" Fulong taunted at the demon.
"We need to go... Now... We need to tell someone..."
"I guess my Father heard my prayers and spared us. Just enough for me to go and make amends for all the wrong I've done in the past."
He was serious. This entire thing had completely changed the 61-year-old elder. Oddly enough, that was all it took. Despite taunting the demon, and riling to try and kill him, Fulong felt that this was fate. He had to make amends for the things he's done to his family...
"I should go tell my son." He tells Drusillia. "And my brother, too."
