A few minutes have passed since the battle with the Ancient Ones that has possessed Ina. Amelia wakes up in a bed, it was really comfortable she thought, but the moment she tried to move, she felt pain all over. She was wondering to herself how she was still alive.

Calli: "You're awake Amelia?"

She turned to see Calli, leaning on the wall. She could tell that Calli was alright for the most part, but when she looked around to see Kiara and Gura out cold for the moment, she felt dread go down her spine. 

Amelia: "Where is.....?"

Calli knew what Amelia meant, so she decided to answer her.

Calli: "Sorry Amelia... I don't know what happened but... she wasn't herself anymore..."

Amelia looked down at her hands, clenching them tighter by each second that has gone by. She knew that she could have stopped it but she couldn't. One fatal mistake and now they ended up on the course that they didn't want.

Calli: "The others will wake up eventually. Until then, you should go see the Warden, she wants to have a chat with you."

Amelia: "Why..?"

Amelia was confused. Of course she had every right to be since she had a fight with the Warden, but if she was spared, then there had to be a reason. 

Calli: "She said it was important. So I didn't pry into it any further."

Amelia understands this and she tries to get up from her bed. But as she stood up, she was going to fall. Calli caught her in time and lifted her up straight.

Calli: "You alright?"

Amelia nods her head in confirmation, allowing Calli to let go and Amelia left the room. Amelia was confused on where they were exactly, but she could hear distant chatter, so she decides to head towards it, very slowly though. Clinging to the wall, allowing her support, as she got closer, the distant chatter became more understanding.

In the meeting room, Kronii and Baelz are chatting with Sana who just returned. Sana looked uneased at what they said.

Sana: "You are saying that the Ancient Ones are back!?"

Baelz: "Yes. But no worries, Kronii locked it away for now."

Sana: "That is not the point! That thing can break out at any moment and you both know that!"

Kronii: "I ensured that where it is at now, it cannot escape."

Sana: "How sure can you be!?"

Amelia: "Excuse me..."

The three turn to see Amelia up on her feet, but she is clinging to the wall to support herself. Baelz sighs.

Baelz: "You two deal with this further, I am going to get the other two."

Baelz then leaves the room, Amelia felt her presence being very familiar to her when Baelz passed by her. 

Sana: "So you are the detective that gave Kronii trouble?"

Sana was curious so she would ask this question no matter the circumstance. Amelia slowly nodded, but she was about to fall over, yet Kronii caught her and put her immediately on her seat.

Kronii: "Rest easy for now detective, this doesn't make us allies."

Amelia: "I understand..."

Sana feels the tension between them but decides to intervene.

Sana: "Isn't there a reason you kept her alive Kronii?"

Kronii nods her head and clears her throat, keeping her stern face.

Kronii: "Listen up detective, I am only going to say this once, so you better listen."

Amelia nods her head and Sana sits by her seat to at least relax herself so she can listen to what is going to happen now.

Kronii: "The Ancient Ones' awakening was inevitable. But you were trying to stop it, how did you intend on doing so?"

Amelia: "I.... I was trying to keep her in a comfortable state. Not risking the awakening while finding the solution..."

Kronii: "The time stream demanded it, so you cannot go against the laws of time. I should have killed you but I saw other options, I am sure you have seen them as well."

Amelia was surprised that Kronii knows what she has been seeing.

Kronii: "Now that the watch is destroyed and cannot be re-forged, the power should have left the existence to return to normality, but it didn't. How were you able to absorb the power?"

Amelia looks at her hands, thinking the same thing.

Amelia: "I was... in the moment. I couldn't even try to access it again unless I end up in a similar situation again.."

Kronii could understand this since when she was created, she could only try to access her power by thinking about it at first until it became natural for her. 

Kronii: "You have the power now and yet you are not able to access it until you could figure it out, correct?"

Amelia nods her head in confirmation. In that moment, the rest of the Myths actually arrive into the meeting room, lead by Calli. Kiara summoned her shield for a defensive position since she still thought that Kronii and Sana would be their enemies, but Calli touched her shoulder.

Calli: "Relax Kiara, they are not our enemy."

Kiara looked into Calli's eyes, what she saw was the truth, so she put away her shield in response.

Kronii: "I see you all are awake now."

Sana: "You all look...."

Calli: "Shit? Yeah you could say that."

Amelia smiled, happy that they were awake and alive now. Gura immediately ran up to Amelia to hug her.

Amelia: "Gura..?"

When Gura lifted her head to look up, her eyes were watering, waiting to burst.

Gura: "I thought we were going to die..... Even you..."

She then smuggled her head in between Amelia's chest. Amelia just smiled and rubbed Gura's head in response to try and calm her down.

Amelia: "You goofball."

Gura: "Meanie."

The two chuckle a little, lighting the tension in the room, which makes Kiara smile knowing that the group is still growing together as a family. Calli smiled for a second and Kiara noticed this.

Kiara: "Calli.. you smiled?"

Calli rolled her eyes, looking away.

Calli: "I don't know what you are talking about Kusotori."

Kiara then went on to tease Calli about it and they get into a banter as well. Sana was smiling, witnessing all of this. Kronii on the other hand got a flashback to the times when each member of the Council came to be, since they all arrived at different times. Everyone was cheerful and was excited to have each other around. Kronii then returned to reality and cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention. 

Kronii: "Now that you lot got back together, there is one urgent matter that you four should focus on. As you know, the Ancient Ones have awakened due to Chaos's actions. Since this was originally mortal affairs, we cannot interfere to help in any capacity."

Kiara: "Why is that?"

Amelia: "It is not what they were created for."

Gura: "Created..?"

Sana: "Well since we are talking about this now.. We are avatars, not normal beings or aliens to put it that way. We were created by the gods to handle certain tasks if they are beyond mortal hands."

Calli: "How does it apply to what is happening to Ina now?"

Kronii: "The gods prevented Chaos from using her full extent, meaning that this is not beyond mortal hands."

Gura: "Wha....?"

Amelia: "What she is saying is that we might have a chance to best and save Ina. But how...?"

Kronii: "You were the one who was able to see the timelines more clearly due to that watch. But now since it is apart of you now, you can access it at will."

Amelia was just confused along with everyone else.

Sana: "She meant that Amelia could see outcomes, but she was trying to make the right decisions to get the right outcomes."

Kronii: "That is correct, though it would seem that she kept this hidden from her group."

Kiara: "Ame... how long did you keep this a secret..?"

Amelia looked down at Gura, but Gura just decided to sit on Amelia's lap, which made Gura look up at Amelia at the same time. Amelia sighed and looked to everyone.

Amelia: "I guess the cat's out of the bag. You see... I am technically from the past, in the same timeline of course. But from the time where the great detectives could thrive and flourish. I ended up finding the watch and made it my own for a while. I honestly lost track on how many periods of time I visited, though when I came to the present, I wanted to stay. Not running anymore made me feel secure, joining the organization that kept the supernatural safe made me feel alive. Meeting Will and you all made me feel, happy. But due to me messing with time, I had to face my consequences, but I was afraid. I saw many outcomes, but I tried my best to avoid and keep it away from everyone to make this life the best I could have."

Calli was starting to understand why Kronii was after her now. Calli was now seeing Amelia as a scared girl trying to run away from a problem she could never solve. Kronii could tell from Calli's expression alone that she understands it all now. 

Gura: "But we are still together now right?"

Amelia got confused for a second.

Amelia: "What?"

Gura: "Think about it. You made all of these decisions. You found us. You helped us. You even made difficult decisions that hurt yourself, but yet help us all in the end. You care for us, so we are technically a family right?"

Amelia was taken aback from this. Her face light up a pinkish red but her smile returned.

Amelia: "You know, you are smarter than we give you credit for Gura."

Gura released her sharp toothy grin along with Amelia's pearly white grin. 

Kiara: "But if that is the case, how are we supposed to save Ina? I saw her eyes... They were void of life."

Kiara's words did go softer and a bit more difficult for her to say since it was the first time she saw it in a living being. 

Sana: "The Ancient Ones are dangerous. But they cannot access their full power if they are in a host's body. They may assume control, but the host always has a limit, which the Ancient Ones fail to understand."

Calli: "Wait.. How do you know so much about it?"

Kronii: "Space has seen the truth about them before. Though she can't talk about it here, she has extensive knowledge about the eldritch compared to the rest."

Sana: "Yes, that is the thing. I just cannot talk about it due to the amount of inhuman they could be. After all, they aren't human so it would make sense."

Amelia: "What do we do now then?"

Kronii: "We plan your next move. You four will have to deal with it while-"

Baelz: "Kronii!"

Kronii was interrupted by Baelz who just returned with Mumei and Fauna.

Baelz: "We are back! Don't worry, I informed the two on the situation. And I can see you lot are also up. Plus I am also sorry for the beatdown. No hard feelings right?"

Baelz was trying to be friendly, though her fun and sarcastic nature was taking over in the moment.

Calli: "We can forgive you this one time. Besides, I had to inform the rest when they woke up on how this Council works anyway."

Baelz nods her head and walks towards the table, then standing on it, doing a few subtle tapping steps and then hopping into the air. Crossing her legs, she started to float.

Baelz: "I assume that Kronii and Sana informed you on our plan?"

The Myths nod their heads in unison.

Baelz: "Good. There is not much I can do but-"

Amelia: "Wait."

Baelz got ticked off for a second, but she allowed Amelia to speak.

Amelia: "You said you all know Will, so shouldn't I be able to see him?"

Mumei: "Will? Do you mean William Bismarck?"

Amelia: "Do you know where he is?"

Mumei: "Well... you see..."

Fauna: "He will be joining you later. He has to deal with his own inner demons. I think that is how they say it, right Mumei?"

Mumei: "Yep."

Amelia: "Well at least we know he is safe.."

Kronii then was suddenly shaking, which caught everyone in the room off guard. Baelz raises an eyebrow.

Baelz: "What is it now Kronii?"

Kronii's eyes were wide and in shock. She was sweating, meaning she knew what happened.

Kronii: "They... broke free..."

Mumei: "Who?"

Kronii: "The Ancient Ones.."

Everyone then realized what that means, but what Kronii says next is what brings fear to the Myths.

Kronii: "They are... on Earth."

 We then cut to William, this time he breathes in and out heavily, as if he just recovered from doing his meditation. 

???: "You were close this time. But you still need to relax your muscles. You are too tense."

William nods and this time relaxes his muscles, breathing slowly. The aura surrounds him and this time when he opens his eyes, he sees a blank void around himself. 

William: "I.. I did it..?"

???: "So you are finally here."

He turns around to see who he was trying to reach, Asher.
