'''The town of Yokohama was in flames. '''

That was undeniable. Forces were moving, forces much greater than anything anyone had seen before. Those that ruled the city were dying in droves...

In the Shopping District, a killer struck a deal with the president. Near an old bookstore, an immortal was convinced to realign himself. The Hotel Élite was under siege by a thing they couldn't touch. And at the Docks, one more soldier joined this battle of demigods.

What happened?

Standing over Robbie's newly created corpse, Anna and Thomas made negotiations. Anna would help the Port Mafia, for the time being, until Tavina was dead. Then all bets were off. Thomas and Anna went to the ADA headquarters and summoned their forces. Ashley, Ciana, and Opal all came.

Meanwhile, Tavina was hiding in a shack in the Slums of Yokohama. She knew that things were finally starting to heat up, that people knew of her now. So she revved her chainsaw and got to work. She saw movements of the Port Mafia near a warehouse and started a massacre, Moran her first victim.

Meanwhile, forces of the Guild fled the Hotel Élite where they had been stationed, which Tavina was assaulting, and convened at a bookstore. Paul allowed Opal to leave, so that the Port Mafia wouldn't suspect a mole in their ranks, but kept tabs on her using his phone. Salem and Paul plotted together, with Wolfi, Cameron, and Cerese pitching in ideas.

Opal, with Paul's permission, allowed Thomas to send her on a reconnaissance mission. Opal scouted the Docks, planting her orbs in key locations, and Ashley came with to help. She had just finished planting her last one when Tavina found her. The fight was a brutal one. Ashley watched as Tavina's chainsaw cut through Opal's bones. But Ashley knew that if Opal died here, Tavina could never be stopped. So Ashley put herself in Tavina's path, at the same time fully healing Opal. Opal fled, terrified, as Tavina mutilated Ashley's body.

But now both the Guild and Port Mafia could track Tavina. And both wanted her dead. From the East, Thomas, Anna, and Opal came, but none among them was more fearsome than the enraged Ciana. From the West, Paul, Cameron, Cerese, and Wolfi came.

Tavina was a rat in a trap.

Tavina noticed one of Opal's orbs. That's what started it. Opal told Thomas that she could signal exactly where Tavina was, and Thomas asked why she hadn't already. Opal detonated the orb Tavina was near. The explosion was horrific, and it was the perfect beacon. Tavina was left with a body wracked with burns and her chainsaw nothing more than scrap metal, and Ciana and Anna started running to where they saw the blast.

Now the fight was fair.

The Guild saw that explosion too, and without consulting Paul, Cameron grabbed Wolfi and sped to the explosion site. Once there, they were confused. All they could find, though, were faceless corpses. Where was Tavina? And why were those two women looking like they were about to kill them?

Anna, forgetting her allegiance with the Port Mafia and seeing two new potential victims in front of her, charged Cameron and Wolfi. Cameron tried to run away with Wolfi, but Wolfi, desperate to prove themself, activated the Last Prism. The blast tore through Anna's torso, and far past her. Wolfi turned around, only to have Anna's knives sink into their back.

"Should have aimed for the head," whispered Anna.

Cameron saw Anna regenerate, not even missing a step. Cameron saw Wolfi crumple to the ground, dead. But Cameron saw Ciana as well, and how the Last Prism had burned into Ciana. Wolfi might have died, but they took Ciana with them.

Cameron fled, running back to Paul and reporting all that happened. Paul grit his teeth. Another death. Each corpse of the Guild made the odds exponentially more difficult.

Meanwhile, Anna was alone, waiting for the rest of the Port Mafia to catch up, when Tavina, barely alive, rose behind her. Anna turned around, and seeing what she knew to be her quarry, grinned. How easy. Just put something back in the ground.

Then Tavina tore Anna apart. Tavina set a portal underneath Anna that would come out just above the first one so that Anna fell into herself. Every atom was forced into every other atom of hers. Anna exploded.

Thomas and Opal arrived. Recognizing the headband on top of the pile of mush as what was once Anna, and seeing that Ciana now had a hole in her torso, and seeing Tavina standing, Thomas centred a fear bubble around Tavina. Striking Tavina with otherworldly terror, Tavina tried to flee. Thomas shot Tavina from behind with a tranquillizer dart, and then beat her unconscious body to death with his Glock.

Then he did the same for Opal.

He gingerly picked up Opal's cell phone and texted Paul. "I killed Thomas. I know I should have asked you first, but his back was to me. Don't come to me, I'll come to you."

Paul, receiving the text, immediately noticed that Opal wasn't typing as she normally did. Alarm bells were going off. Paul used his future sight and saw that Opal's face was mashed to a pulp. And that Thomas was standing above her. Paul directed everyone to charge Thomas– Thomas would be able to halt any elaborate plan, the only way to success now was through an all-out attack.

Cameron, as always, was first. Thomas sent another bubble of fear to surround him. Cameron shuddered to a stop, and Thomas pointed the pistol he'd filched from Ciana's body at him.

Then Cerese, both of her, froze in the very same bubble. Thomas took both of them down in two shots. Cameron wanted to scream but the terror he felt had his jaw locked tight.

Thomas dispelled the fear bubble. "I can recall as many of those as I want. They can last for as long as I want. You either stand down or I trap you in one until the end of time."

"Time," said Paul from behind, "Is all anyone's got."

Paul threw a brutal punch, hitting Thomas right in the solar plexus and forcing him to stumble back.

Thomas pointed the gun at Cameron. The bubble might have been dismissed, but Cameron was still stock-still.

"Touch me again and he dies."

Paul sighed.

"Let's negotiate."

Paul and Cameron left Yokohama, with a licence to recruit any ability user in Yokohama into the Guild. Thomas was left with control over Yokohama, but also with most of his most trusted allies dead. Rebuilding would be difficult, but he would manage.

There was still a loose end to tie up, though.

Salem sighed, rearranging some books on his shelf. He was glad that everything was finally settling down. These last few days had just been awfully stressful.

A little jingling announced that someone had just walked into the store.

Salem felt an unearthly fear wash over him, freezing him in place.

Salem heard a gun cock.
