Bee had long since left Hallowton traveling for destinations unknown. Before Kari had melted into reality and before Moon Valley was overran with the army of the Netherrealm she had passed through them both collecting a sum of money by playing her guitar for the people and soothing their worries of the problems around them. Bee eventually passed through the mountains and into Aircano where she was given a place to rest so long as she played music for the orphans there.
A week later she was staring at Isafaro. When she entered the town she was stopped by a checkpoint and had her belongings checked for weapons and contraband.
"Do you have any ID on you?" asked the soldier as the other examined her guitar.
"No sir. I'm not really sure who I am, ever since I lost my memory I've been travelling hoping to get it back."
The soldier gave her a suspicious look as if he didn't believe her story, and why should he? But she cleared all the inspections so he allowed her to go through. The sun was falling slowly over the buildings, she knew if she didn't act fast to get a room somewhere she may be out of luck and forced to sleep in an alleyway. And after doing that in Hallowton a few times and getting harassed by bums she had no wish to do so here.
Bee entered the first place that had cheap lodging and payed for her room up front with the money she had saved from performing on stage in Aircano on her last night there. She put her things away and went to the market just in time to buy bread and fruit for supper.
It was dark on her way back. The streets were fairly void of life aside from the troops that were watching her walk down the street back to the lodging.
Finally one of them decided to stop her, "Hey! Stop! There is a curfew, all residents are to be inside by sun down. You are here by under arrest for breaking strict curfew."
She didn't know whether she should run or not. Bee turned back to him as he and two others crossed the street to her, she lowered her head, "I'm sorry, please, I only just arrived to the city, no one told me of the curfe-"
Before she got a moment to finish her sentence the troop cracked her across the face with the ass end of his rifle. She hit the ground hard, her groceries rolling and sliding across the dirty ground soiled now.
"I didn't say to back talk. I said you're under arrest. And now that you've refused arrest we are in the right for rough treatment. Eh boys?"

A few days had passed since he came across the resistance.
He hadn't thought much about their offer to join with them, nor did he think much about their problems at their head quarters. The demon army approaching the city wasn't a bother to him either, if the woman who leads them wishes for his help, then she'll stay out of his way from now on.
Here he was doing a noble deed in wrecking Isafaro and giving the Vulture army a hard time. Gabe was laying low now. He didn't try to make too much a fuss because last time the eye in the sky gave him more trouble than he wanted. But he was about to be in more trouble when he literally watched this girl get cracked across the face.
The soldiers moved in on her about to pin her down while their captain was going to put a beating on her when a bullet cleared the area and cleanly took the Captains head off his shoulders. It was fired from a silver long weapon, the power behind the weapon alone had shook the air around them.
"Step away from her, dare you not and you will suffer the same fate as your captain."
One of the soldiers recognized him instantly, "It's him! It's the Spokesman of Insanity! Get the fuck out of here!" And so they scurried away. Gabriel walked toward her and offered his hand to her.
"There is no reason to be walking in the shadows at a time like this after what I've done to this city."

Bee took the mans hand and was pulled to her feet. Something about him seemed too familiar to her, but that had been happening lately with her memory slowly but surely coming back. There were plenty of tidbits she wished to forget just for the sole fact that none of them were pleasant. Each memory drove her closer to here however, for whatever reason the one she was looking for was here.
"Thank you," she said turning around and picking up the fruit from the ground. The bread was ruined, now covered with the gunk and debris from other peoples shoes. The fruit could be washed and the bruises on them could be cut out and ate around. She was happy about that at least.
Bee turned back to her savior and held out her hand with an apple in it, "I don't have much, but please, take this. I'm very thankful."

"Don't be so thankful. Those dogs will be on us in a minute. They will-" A sharpshooter put a bullet straight through Gabriel's head, he hit the ground and slid but was on his feet within seconds, "Get down!"
His familiars rose between her and the next bullet which blew the familiar to kingdom come throwing vile insects all over the area behind it. Gabe pushed her into cover behind the corner of the building, he put his back against the opposite wall and pulled out the black weapon from the other holster.
"Always babysitting those who cannot protect themselves properly. First a necromancer, then resistance members, and now some girl I felt noble enough to save," Gabe spit on the ground and turned the corner firing the black weapon in a perfect arch that crashed into the snipers gun wrecking it but missing the sniper by just enough.

This wasn't happening. She utterly freaked out when she was covered by insects but then she hit hard on her hip tossing her fruit again but was out of harms way from the deadly sharpshooter. She looked at Gabe, Bee was sure he was dead when he was thrown off his feet by a precise shot to the head, what happened?
"Please let it stop," she said pulling herself up and putting her back against the wall. Her hands came over her ears as that monstrous black weapon fired shaking the world around her and pulling her out of her despair. Her eyes adverted to stare at Gabe as he went out of his cover and took down the sniper.
Something about him was familiar, "Is he, dead?"

"No," the troops had been called on them and they were moving into the area now from the front and flank. He pointed to the corner where the two buildings met, "Sit down and wait, this may take a minute or two."
They had a single tank, much different in design than the tanks of Isafaro before, this one had a Mammoth painted across the side of it, it's twin cannons and sheer size alone looked to take up the entire street giving it little room to maneuver, but it didn't need the room with the power behind it. The vulcan cannon came to life as the soldier controlling it tore up the cover Gabe went back into. He began firing his pistols at the flanking soldiers to keep them off his back as the Tank came closer forward.
He stepped forward and waved his arm out, the darkness shot forward keeping the flank busy as it tangled up with the tendrils. He turned his focus back to the front rolling from his cover and firing at the minigun operator taking him cleanly out. Then the tank fired, Gabe jumped straight up into the air as the two shots hit the ground at the same time blowing holes into the sewer system and beyond.

Bee literally slumped down into a ball, keeping her hands tightly over her ears and her eyes closed tightly. She could hear those thunderous shots from his weapon and felt the ground shake getting showered with rubble. Her eyes opened slowly as she saw the explosion before her of two tank shots and the man take to the air.
She watched as the troops on the flank were assaulted by sheer darkness and the monsters that he had employed, "Make it stop."

'Only you can make it stop,' spoke a very familiar voice in her head, 'you seem to have forgotten who you are deer child of mine.'
Gabe landed and turned around the corner plugging bullets into the armored husk of the tank in attempts to do any damage to it at all. Even while fully empowering his already powerful shots they did nothing more than scratch it. "The fuck is this thing made of?"
The mammoth tank was clearly focused on him as it rolled into the open and fired its twin cannons, Gabe himself rolled away from the building as the shots exploded and ripped through the entire building. His wall of familiars came to life blocking the view of the tank and himself.
Any human lives that were caught in the wall were maimed and mauled on spot.
'My darling Felicia. You must remember who you are.'
The satellite overhead fired a shot into the opening, 13 of the chainsaw wielding soldiers arrived to the battlefield. They had their sights set on Bee as they moved in on her. Gabe was blocked by the tank to do anything other than continue distracting it.

"That voice."
Her eyes widened. She was taken back to the world she lived in before this one.
---
She sat on a small chair by her fathers side. He sat in a throne with his hand on the top of her head, those cold eyes stared through her even if he was smiling at her through his long hair and thick stubble. He was fearless, in full armor just sitting in his throne as the Ottoman troops marched their way into his castle.
"Vlad Țepeș! You are an abomination to that throne of which you sit upon!" said the suitor. He was wearing nobleman's garments and holding a scroll in his hands reading from it, "We have news that you were beheaded and murdered days ago, yet here you sit! I believe this is either sorcery or you have falsified documents and sent them to my king!"
Vlad Țepeș himself began laughing. He looked down to his daughter and ran his fingers through her hair one more time before saying to her, "Felicia, do not look away. You will understand what you are to become, and you will understand what it means for traitors of my father, my brother, and my nation to stand before me and speak vile putrid shit."
Țepeș stood up and walked down the steps from his throne, "Who among you wishes to challenge the wrath of the one they call Țepeș? Who among you wishes to face the wrath of the Societas Draconistrarum?" He was answered by a ringing of metal as every knight in the room drew their swords.
"I understand, then you will all forgive me for taking your souls and making them my own." The last thing Felicia saw was a wall of darkness rise between her father and the Ottoman troops.
---
Her eyes closed tightly as her chainsaw executor stepped between life and death for her and brought the chainsaw swiftly down upon her.
---
"Father, I just wish to go to town for a while and play my lute for the crowd there. They'll never know who I am."
Vlad Țepeș raised his hand waving her off, "You will do no such thing. Until you learn to control your hunger and thirst you will stay put within these walls. Am I clear?"
Felicia lowered her head, "You are clear, father."
---
The Lancer Rifle went flying through the air, the soldier himself was impaled through the eye and elevated off his feet 30 foot into the air. Bee's eyes were glossed over bright red. The next soldier came from her blind side, without looking at him she raised her hand and pure blackness hit him in the face with the force of a fighter jet taking his head clean off his shoulders.
Bee moved her hand and the pressure tossed the soldier that was elevated into the air to the ground and into his friends.
"I remember now."

'Release your full power, Felicia."
"That's nice and all-"
"SILENCE!"
Gabe was hit square in the chest by the mammoth tanks next shot because he was grounded in place by the sheer raw power of the No Life King. There was nothing left but a mass of darkness all over the area and familiars blotting out the skyline. Those inside the tank would hear as something landed on top of it.
He was wearing full armor with thick stubble upon his face, just as Felicia would remember him. His white cape fluttered in the wind against the black armor. "Felicia." With his arrival the familiars become more gruesome and tripled in power. They easily cleared the field of Isafaro troops and suddenly sheer darkness held the tank in place.

"Father," she said raising her hand pointing a gun sign at one of the Isfaro chainsaw troops. She mimicked shooting him and to his surprise (or not) a blast of pressure caught him straight in the chest plate all at one point piercing through it. Once the pressure was inside him she extended her hand blowing him up from inside out.
"We are both slaves to unfortunate events it seems. You're stuck in that body, and I'm trapped inside my own head."
Felicia picked up one of the lancer rifles and threw all her might into clashing the chainsaw against the other one that was hurtling toward her. Her raw power easily defended herself from the Isafaro nightmare as she turned away from him on his left side and unloaded the entire clip at point blank into the side of his head.

"It seems so," the Mammoth tank tried to turn its top but the black tendrils of darkness shot through its armor without harming it then became solid once again doing massive damage to the tank and holding its cannon in place.
The No Life King's familiars dragged the remaining chainsaw soldiers into their mass and devoured their husks. "I don't have much time before he takes control again. So, be careful my darling. I will be seeing you soon."

"But father..."
She raised her hand as if waving good bye to him and then turned her palm up. The pressurized familiars entered the damaged areas of the tank getting inside its armor and past the vulnerable points boiling those inside alive and then imploded the tank in on itself.
"I will see you soon then."

He smiled at her and nodded. He was airborne after the implosion of the tank slowly falling until his feet touched the ground. And when they did the familiars wrapped around him and spit Gabe back out who landed on his knee but instantly stood raising his weapon at Felicia.
"You seriously cannot be his daughter," Gabriel said steadying the .454 Silver weapon directly at her skull. His stone cold black eyes narrowed in on her, "And if you are, there's little chance I'll let you walk away alive."

"It's not like you can stop me anyways," Felicia said with a frown, "I'm not your threat either. I'm just a vampire in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's all. Killing me won't solve the problems in your head, it might make them worse actually. So in your est interest, stay out of my affairs from now on."
When she finished she slammed her hand into the ground launching herself into the air above the buildings leaving behind a massive hand print where the invisible pressure wave had impacted. Once above the buildings she made sure to hide herself in the darkness by launching herself back down into one of the alleyways.
