Nushi was standing on a beach, in a castle, standing in the forest, on a mountain top, in the middle of the ocean in a boat. Nothing made sense, and Nushi's mind felt like it was being pulled apart.

"What is going on?" Nushi asked out loud in fear, and it felt like her mind was trying to pull itself apart.

The Demon's powers that she had received from Zack Foreman and her own multiplied due to her being outside of reality. In most girls' cases, there were no manuals for them, But Nushi had the advantage in this respect.

Grabbing her head and trying to concentrate, Nushi closes her eyes. This allows her to bring her fractured minds together and lets her summon her journal.

Each of the girls needed to learn everything independently, or that was the case before Nushi could use a series of tests with her predictive journal. The book allowed her to look into people's thoughts and see the results of their actions up to five minutes in the future.

p But nothing like this had ever happened to Nushi before. Now she stared into the book, and for the first time, there were words that were not her own. The journal had always waited till she wrote in it or sent thoughts to it to reply, but this time she had done neither.

You are the one in control of this place, but the one you face is much greater than you. You must force your mind back together and only recognize this reality as to how you see it.

Nushi understood and didn't bother to question the book, letting it disappear from her mind. She trusted the book as much as she trusted Zack, so she focused her mind.

'I am standing in the courtyard of my father's castle. It is a beautiful day, with the sun in the sky and clouds peppering the sky. There is a light breeze, and I can feel the grass tickling my feet,' Nushi chanted in her mind until she affixed the image in her mind.

Slowly, the Demon opened her eyes, and she was back. Nushi stood in her father's courtyard beside the keep, but there was a man in front of her as well.

He was as tall as Zack, but he wore a strange black cloak that seemed to swallow the light. Nushi couldn't see the man's face at first, but then the man looked up at her, and their eyes connected.

This man was Time, or as Zack knew him, Mark. Once a friend to Zack, Time betrayed him, deciding to take Helsin Zero's offer of immortality.

Nushi did know the man, but Time didn't know this and was shocked to find one of the Self-Titled-Heroes women here. This was a rare chance, and Time had assumed it was Zack that he had pulled into this trap.

"How did you manage to get into the girl's mind? Not that it matters, I will trap you here, and this will be a way to lure-," Time started to say, but he was blown off his feet by an immense charge of lighting seeming to come from nowhere.

Nushi had seen into Zack's mind last night, and for the first time, she had been able to see everything. It was like trying to look at every part of the planet at the exact same time, so most of it was a blur, even for her.

Yet, one person stood out from everyone else, and it was a man that Zack knew long before this. This man had been Zack's close friend but had secretly shared the formula with Helsin Zero before the accident.

Nushi had, of course, tried to tell Zack, but something made her forget each time she thought to ask. Now, this Mark from Zack's past stood before her.

Nushi knew this was like a dream, and she was in control of it, so she had closed her eyes as Time rambled. If it was a dream, she was the most powerful thing here, and she believed it to her core.

"So you are the snake that stabbed the man I love in the back after everything he has ever done for you?" Nushi said as her body continued to expand, and she dashed forward.

Time bounced off the corner of the keep and hit the ground in shock at what was transpiring. Before the robed man could react, he was kicked into the wall that surrounded the courtyard.

Time smashed through the wall, and Nushi fired Lightning bolts after him. She screamed out in rage as she did.

"HE GAVE YOU EVERYTHING AND ALWAYS TOOK YOUR SIDE! YET, YOU ALWAYS BETRAYED HIM!"

Time caught himself this time and created a shielded dome around himself to stop the rain of lightning. This response had caught him completely off guard.

'How can this creature be so powerful?! This is one of his women! They are supposed to need his protection!' Time raged in his mind, but then suddenly looked up as the now monstrous light blue woman bore down on him.

Time tried to force more power into the shield, but Nushi was limiting the power he could draw from this reality.

'No one should have this much power at this stage!' Time screamed into his mind as his body was crushed, and the reality he had created to trap the Manticores mind shattered.

Nushi was also ripped out of the world sent out into the blackness. It was only a brief moment, but seconds could stretch to eternities in the place between thoughts.

Then Nushi woke up in a bed with all the Grandmother's standing over her, but something was off with them. She was also on the floor but still on a mattress.

Each of the older Demon women had a concerned look on their face, and that was when Nushi noticed that she was lying in a broken bed. Nushi looked back up in confusion.

"What happened here while I was asleep?" Nushi asked, and Nixi was the one that replied.

"You did," Nixi said quietly and with the most respect that she had ever used with her granddaughter.

The tone was not lost on Nushi, and she went to put her hand up to her mouth, but that was when she saw it.

Her hands were red but a shade lighter than Nixi.
