A flame ignited in Aracely's hands as she placed a smirk on her face. Her eyes glew a color no one's seen before and her horns grew on her head. A black most came from Cade's hands as one of his eyes turned purple. "Think you're the tough girl? Don't underestimate me. Our plan is only starting! And I don't mean the plan you and I made, " Cade smirked. Aracely's eyes widened. That girl. She really was after Lance.

Chloe was dashing around aimlessly, having split up from the others since the lights went off. Chloe saw a door that said " Hazardous Area, Employees Only " ... " Even if it is a trap, Lance isn't safe. His body is possessed, and if I'm not there, he could lose control again, or worse, " Chloe thought. Chloe immediately smashed the lock on the door, setting off an alarm. Chloe kept running until she came across a broken wooden bridge. Some parts of the bridge fell off, resulting to fall which seemed to be never ending. "Shit...." she thought as she tried finding ways to try and cross it when she sees a shadow floating over her.

"Ahh Whitson....so great to finally come face to face with you," a voice with a sadistic yet calm voice said. Chloe looked up to see a girl around the same age as her with purple hair and purple attired with a staff or stick of some sort. "My last name isn't Whitson! Who the hell are you?!" Chloe yelled with an impatient tone. The girl chuckled. "Whoever I am isn't important. What is important is that you're a Whitson and you should just end already," she said as she charged at Chloe.

Without thinking twice, or at all, Chloe jumped at some point on the bridge that was falling apart while the girl that charged at her. Chloe landed on her feet, luckily dodging the attack. " Might as well introduce myself. I'm Ukari, " The girl stated, the staff apprehending Chloe to a wall. " Ukari Arachne. "

" Arachne?! What does this crazy lady want from me?! " Chloe thought.

Sharp blades poked out from both ends of the staff. " Don't try anything stupid, kid, " Ukari whispered. In response, Chloe growled. " I found a prophecy. I'm the Arachne meant to fight you, for our ancestor's sake. Hell, even Amadeus himself told me, " Ukari chuckled. Chloe's eyes widened. " How did she get that information? Amadeus Arachne has been dead for more than one hundred years! " Chloe thought. The expression on Chloe's faced caused Ukari to grin even more. " Poor, little, confused Chloe. You must be envious of me. Me of all people, an Arachne of all people, having contact with their ancestor. Amadeus has been interfering in tiny bits and pieces of my life, some without me even knowing. First my traitorous parents were arrested, then I found his journal. It was like everything was falling into place. " Ukari sighed dreamily.

Chloe's eyes then twitched.

" Oh! But you never had that relationship! You NEVER had ANY contact with not even one of your ancestors. Not even Infinity, who was known for her greatness and power. But lemme hand the facts to you, kid. Infinity wasn't that great. She beat up a man who grew up knowing nothing but the rules the streets taught him. If anything those people got what they deserved. That little girl should've minded her own business, but really, she doomed her ancestors. Would you say you're proud of that, Whitston-Blood? " Ukari asked

A blast of light soon came from Chloe, causing Ukari to fall unconscious

Meanwhile....

Cade was keeping the others distracted as Ukari took Chloe on one on one. Nobody could focus on what Cade was saying, they had to keep it up. They had to keep fighting. Discussions were for after this was over, win or lose.

Lillian hit Cade with a water blast, it being a critical and unexpected hit seeing as Cade was more focused on attacking Aracely as she was dazed by her own anxiety. " Why you little... " Cade murmured. A blast fired at Lillian as she cowered in fear, but luckily, David was able to blast back with firepower. Aracely soon joined in. It soon became too much for Cade to handle, and he fell over, falling unconscious. A figure soon approached.

" Who is that? "

" C'mon guys, it's only me, " Chloe responded.
