PANEL 5

TEEN SPOOKY

LOOKS LIKE WE’RE GETTING INVOLVED!

PANEL 1

FLYBOY

NO. JUST MINIONS AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.

AMANDA

SO, WHY HERE? WHY NOW?

TEEN SPOOKY

MAYBE HE NEEDS THE SHARD, TOO, TO COMPLETE THE ARTIFACT.

(cont)

BUT WHY NOW IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

PANEL 2

TEEN SPOOKY

UNLESS AMBROSIA SOMEHOW PASSED ON WHAT CASSIDY FOUND OUT…

PANEL 3

AMANDA

I SEE MACHINE GUN FIRE!

PANEL 5

AMANDA

SO, WHAT’S THE PLAN HERE?! DO WE GET INVOLVED, CALL EXSEC, OR JUST WAIT?

PANEL 1

TEEN SPOOKY

I DON’T KNOW. MAYBE. IF WE CAN GET CLOSE ENOUGH-

PANEL 2

BODYGUARDS

AHHH!

PANEL 3

FLYBOY

CRAP! MAGIC USERS!

PANEL 5

TEEN SPOOKY

IS SHADES WITH THEM?!

PANEL 1

FLYBOY

YOU THINK HE’S DOMANOTH! THE ONE EVERYONE ELSE IN HELL WAS SCARED OF.

(cont)

BUT YOU SAID HE WAS GONE.

TEEN SPOOKY

IT’S NOT LIKE THERE WAS A BODY! NO ONE KNEW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. HIS SYMBOL WAS IN YOUR TIME AND MINE. AND WITH WHAT YOU SAW UNDER SHADES’ SUNGLASSES…

PANEL 2

TEEN SPOOKY

IF ANY ONE OF THEM COULD HAVE BROKEN THROUGH THE WALLS TO GET HERE, IT WOULD BE DOMANOTH, KING OF DEMON KINGS.

(cont)

MAYBE HE’S BEEN HIDING OUT ALL THIS TIME IN SOME CORNER OF HELL, BUILDING ENOUGH POWER TO GET THROUGH. HE WAS SUPPOSEDLY VERY PATIENT.

PANEL 3

FLYBOY

AND WHAT EXACTLY WOULD DOMANOTH WANT WITH YOU?

TEEN SPOOKY

I DON’T KNOW, MITCH. WHY WERE ANY OF THEM AFTER ME? WHY WAS I IN HELL AT ALL?!

PANEL 5

TEEN SPOOKY

SORRY. YOU DIDN’T DESERVE THAT.

FLYBOY

IT’S O.K.

PANEL 6

AMANDA

SO, HE’S SOMEONE EVEN DEMON ROYALTY IS AFRAID OF, HE’S HAD LOTS OF TIME TO PLAN, AND YOU’RE SOMEHOW PART OF THAT PLAN.

(cont)

WITH THESE WEAPONS, YOU THINK WE HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST HIM?

PANEL 3

AMANDA

SO, WE COULD BE HERE A WHILE STAKING THIS PLACE OUT.

(cont)

I DON’T SUPPOSE YOU GUYS WANT TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ON THE OIL RIG, AND WHY YOU’RE BOTH BEING SO WEIRD NOW.

PANEL 5

AMANDA

RIGHT. FINE. WE’LL KEEP IT JUST TO THE LIFE OR DEATH STUFF THEN.

(cont)

SO WE GET THIS SHARD, FIND SHADES, AND THEN WHAT? FIGHT HIM AGAIN? IS THAT WHY YOU INSISTED WE BRING SIRCEA’S WEAPONS WITH US EVEN THOUGH SHE CAN’T TRACK THEM?

TEEN SPOOKY

BASICALLY.

PANEL 6

AMANDA

MITCH SAID YOU KNEW WHO THIS GUY WAS AND WERE GOING TO TELL US, BUT WE’VE BEEN BACK FOR A FEW HOURS NOW.

(cont)

I GET THAT YOU’RE FREAKED OUT, BUT WE CAN’T BE KEPT IN THE DARK IF WE’RE GOING TOE-TO-TOE AGAIN. SO, LET ME TRY FILLING IN THE BLANKS.

(cont)

YOU THINK SHADES IS AN ACTUAL DEMON, DON’T YOU?

PANEL 7

TEEN SPOOKY

NO.

(cont)

NOT JUST A DEMON, ANYWAY. I THINK HE’S… SOMETHING WORSE. MUCH WORSE.

(cont)

THE WORST, ACTUALLY.

PANEL 1

FLYBOY

I KNEW KANYA WAS CONNECTED, BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS WITH MACGREGOR.

TEEN SPOOKY

WELL, LUCKILY FOR YOUR TIMELINE, THAT MEANT WE DIDN’T HAVE TO INTERACT WITH HER OR EVEN TRACK HER. EVERYONE KNOWS DEVON MACGREGOR. AND WHERE HE LIVES.

PANEL 2

AMANDA

BECAUSE HE’S A CRIMINAL KINGPIN. I COUNT FOUR SUBMACHINE GUNS, AND THAT’S JUST WITH THE GUYS OUTSIDE.

PANEL 3

FLYBOY

AND INSIDE?

AMANDA

NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS IT COULD BE. MAYBE ANOTHER DOZEN OR SO MINDS, AND THAT’S INCLUDING WHAT FEELS LIKE A WIFE, TWO KIDS PLUS A FEW STAFF.

PANEL 4

AMANDA

I GUESS HE DOESN’T EXPECT A REAL ASSAULT ON HIS PRIVATE HOME.

TEEN SPOOKY

WITH HIS REPUTATION, I’M NOT SURPRISED. LET’S SEE IF THIS VAN BRINGS MORE OF HIS THUGS, AND THEN WE’LL COME UP WITH A PLAN TO GET IN AND OUT LATER TONIGHT WHEN THE FAMILY’S ASLEEP.

(cont)

IF KANYA’S BOSS IS KEEPING THE SHARD OF THE ARTIFACT IN HIS SAFE NOW LIKE HE DOES IN MITCH’S FUTURE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SENSE IT ONCE WE’RE INSIDE.

PANEL 5

TEEN SPOOKY

GET US DOWN BEHIND THOSE TREES. I’LL FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MY FEET ON THE GROUND.
