Gloria paused, watching as the mummies now began to advance. The teen couldnt help but be impressed as the liches were stopped in their tracks, the mummies conjuring a sandstorm that blasted their opposing forces, stripping the recently undead of their flesh. Gloria winced watching as the bones of recently turned crumbled. Now though the teens eyes went wide as she noticed a rather large mummy now advance forward. "Is that Mr. Harris?!"
"Yes," Kellie said quietly. "I'm sorry but, in order to gain the trust if the mummies I offered them Mr. Harris."
"Is he still him," Gloria exclaimed, watching as the mummified marine charged forward, grabbing a Void before tearing it in half.
"He is but he can never rejoin his family," Kellie sighed. "Its a blessing and a curse. He lives on in undeath but can never return to his family. He serves Anubis now."
Gloria felt her face flush with anger, her eyes stinging with tears. She was overjoyed to see Mr. Harris yet knowing he could not return to his family broke her heart. When this was over hopefully he could have some sort of reunion. Before Gloria could say anything she noticed a portal open, her sister Katie and wife Kellie emerge.
"Mom? Gloria? You two are here?"
"Katie, Kellie," Kellie asked. "How did you get here?"
"The whole magical world knows what's going on mom," Katie exclaimed. "We're gathering anyone we can to counter attack."
"Your dad is in danger Kel," Kellie stated. "Hes on his way to face Villar."
Kellies eyes went wide, Merlin maybe the most powerful wizard alive yet after seeing the brutality of Villars actions she worried for his safety. "I have to stay," she pleaded. "I promised Lycaon I would help defend his kingdom."
"Gloria and I will do it," Katie said. "You and Kel go. We have backup coming so we'll be okay."
Kellie nodded as a portal now opened. As the two Kellies now stepped forward Kellie turned to see her daughter kiss her wife tenderly. "Be careful."

Anjelica glanced nervously around as she now led Lilith through an underground passage. The sounds of battle had become muted up above her. While the teen was well aware of Morgans power as well as her Lycan gifts, she had heard plenty of stories about Villar. "Please be okay Morgan," she whispered.
"Your master will be fine child," Lilith scoffed. "Now get your fear under control, the stench of it will attract unwanted attention."
"What's your problem," Angelica grumbled, narrowing her eyes at the demon witch. "Morgan has never done anything wrong. She even willingly joined the Lycans after she finished college."
"How little you know of her past," Lilith chuckled. Anjelica turned to answer, only to hear a foreboding laugh behind her.
"So this is where the mighty Lilith has gone. Cowering in sewers like a common rat."
Anjelica felt the color drain from her face as she slowly turned. Fukushu now stood before them, blocking their path forward. The nine tails of the kitsune moving in a slow unnatural motion like ghostly smoke.
"Kitsune," Lilith growled. "You dare insult me?! Have you learned nothing? Perhaps you wish to join that insolent sister of yours Yomi?"
"Not this time," Fukushu smiled. With a thought a group of tails now appeared from the shadows, wrapping themselves tightly around Anjelica and Liliths throats. The teenage sorceress gagged as the vice like grip of the tail tightened around her neck.
Fukushu simply smirked, his body completely relaxed as he slowly began to walk forward. "Today I avenge Yomi's death," he said softly. "Today I end your existence Lilith."
Lilith struggled to free herself, yanking on the shadowy tail with her talented hands. More tails now sprang forth from the shadows, wrapping themselves around Liliths arms and restraining her. Lilith snarled as Fukushu now unsheathed a body dagger, the same he had used to stab Shizen. "For Yomi."
Anjelica screamed, tapping into her magical reserves. A brilliant white light now illuminated the room, exploding outwards and knocking the nine tails backwards. Fukushu shielded his eyes, wincing at the insane power the teenager had produced. Lilith and Angelica fell to their knees, desperately trying to catch their breath as the shadowy tails released their hold.
"I wont let you hurt her," Anjelica bellowed, rubbing the sore spot on her neck. The teen was trying to put on a brave face. That last spell had taken an incredible amount of magic. She wasnt sure if she could muster another attack
Fukushu grinned as he now began to prepare a spell. "Then you shall share her fate."
