Inside the house, a conflict had stirred. The Exalted One and Sabre argued with Henry and Adelia.
As she cradled her sleeping baby, Adelia questioned if the soldiers were there for them, two.
Henry, frustrated, asserted that he did not want to believe it, but it seemed so. He was furious.
Adelia commented that she heard a commotion outside. She moved the curtains and looked out the window. Her eyes widened.
Henry assumed that the two strangers were on the run.
Sabre confirmed their assumption.
Adelia was not amused. She asked them why the soldiers would be chasing them.
Sabre replied that he did not have to explain himself.
Henry assumed that they were the bad guys.
Sabre laughed.
The Exalted One sighed. He looked at Henry and denied his accusation. He explained that he and his brother were trying to save the world.
Henry demanded them to leave the house. He was adamant about his decision.
The Exalted One wondered if they would cover for them at least.
Adelia replied that she did not want any part of their business.
Henry added that the pair were not welcomed there anymore.
The Exalted One understood. He revealed that there was something that they should know.
Adelia and Henry stared at him in anticipation.
Suddenly, the door was forced open. A soldier entered and aimed his gun. He ordered everyone to stand down.
The Exalted One chuckled and questioned how they could have found them. He was not worried.
The soldier, however, ordered them to put their hands up. In the next moment, his weapon was yanked away. He was taken aback. As the soldier reached for his gun, the gun floated towards The Exalted One's hand.
The Exalted One grasped the gun and looked at it. He smiled.
Henry and Adelia were shocked.
The soldier, terrified, fell to the ground. His knees buckled and trembled. They had no idea that the strangers had these abilities.
The Exalted One shot the soldier in the head. Blood splattered on the entrance of the house. Afterwards, The Exalted One aimed the gun towards Adelia and Ana.
Adelia gasped. She cradled Ana close to her.
The Exalted One asserted that they were their hostages, now.
Sabre stood beside his brother. He was proud.
Henry clenched his teeth. He was enraged that they were the bad guys. He exclaimed that they have deceived them. He stepped forward and demanded The Exalted One and Sabre to release his wife and daughter.
The Exalted One refused. He threatened that he would pull the trigger if he came closer.
Adelia, cradling Ana, was afraid. She begged them to not harm the baby.
The Exalted One, unfazed, demanded Adelia to head outside and tell the military that they had left. He continued that no one else had to get hurt.
Adelia was horrified. She pleaded that she could not do that. She continued that she could not help evil people like them.
As The Exalted One was about to fire, the gun was knocked out of his hand.
Henry, using his martial arts, swiftly attacked him and threw him into the wall.
Sabre was furious. He charged at Henry and punched him. He tackled him to the floor.
As Sabre was beating Henry, The Exalted One got up and dusted himself off.
With a crazed look, Sabre picked Henry up. He held him in a chokehold.
The Exalted One questioned Henry if he was stupid enough to try and challenge him.
Henry was struggling to get free.
Sabre warned Henry to stand down. His fingers transformed into claws, ready to puncture Henry's chest.
The Exalted One demanded Sabre not to kill him, yet.
Adelia cried and begged them not to.
The Exalted One walked towards her as she wept.
Adelia, fearful, pleaded him not to come near her.
The Exalted One pulled her arm away from her sleeping baby.
Adelia yelled and cried.
The Exalted One picked up her sleeping baby by her shirt.
Adelia begged him not to harm Ana.
The Exalted One ordered her to do what they asked.
Adelia was hesitant.
Ana, the baby, opened her eyes. She glanced at The Exalted One. Then, she innocently stared at her mother.
The Exalted One emphasized that the best thing for her family is for her to do as she's told.
Ana kept her stare towards her mother. She felt like she was suffocating or maybe drowning as if their feelings were intertwined. At that moment, she reached for her mom.
The Exalted One noticed. He let go of the shirt and held her from her head. He remarked that they should obey, or he would crush their daughter's head.
Adelia gasped. As he threatened to squeeze Ana, Adelia finally agreed and complied. She cried and apologized.
Ana continued to stare at her. She sensed her mother's fear and sadness.
Henry screamed to leave his daughter alone.
Ana stared at Henry and reached for him.
Henry erratically tried to escape. He begged them not to harm her.
Sabre tightened his grip. He asserted that he would not hesitate to kill if he continued to resist. He questioned if the fool did not understand.
Henry continued to resist as it got harder to breathe. His vision blurred.
As the strangers threatened the family, they did not notice a strange sensation in the forest.
As she saw Sabre's claws puncture the skin of Henry, a new emotion stirred inside Ana. Ana started to cry and wail. For the first time, she felt traumatized. In an instant, intense energy radiated from her.
Adelia, terrified, screamed at them to stop.
Ana's crying grew louder and unleashed a powerful cry. It became more than crying. The intense energy surrounded the house. A force of nature.
Adelia, in terror, wondered what was going on.
The Exalted One, shocked, did not have an answer. They did not know. The intensity grew. A strong gale swept through the room, knocking over things. It knocked down Adelia.
Sabre lost his hold on Henry, and Henry fell to the ground.
As he was pushed back, The Exalted One let go of Ana.
Outside, the soldiers were in awe of Hafen's power. He stood tall, with his hands stretched out, while he fired a warning shot from the guns that he controlled.
One of the soldiers claimed that he was a freak.
Just then, energy from the house radiated throughout the forest. The soldiers were worried.
The brothers turned around and looked at a source of light. A powerful gale of wind deterred Hafen and threw the weapons onto the ground.
Stark, confused, questioned what was going on. The Fisher's House shook.
Hafen was alarmed, and he rushed towards his family. Stark followed suit.
Back inside the house, The Exalted One and Sabre struggled against the strong force.
Ana, in a fetal position, floated in the air. She was emitting an enormous amount of light which overtook The Exalted One and Sabre.
Adelia took her hands off of her face and looked at her daughter. Then, she glanced at the two strangers.
They were also floating in the air. However, it looked like their limbs were being pulled apart. Their mouths were wide open. In addition, their eyes were rolled back, and a bright light was shining through the holes in their heads.
Adelia was shocked.
Henry gasped for air on the ground.
Adelia crawled towards her husband and asked if he was in pain.
Henry mumbled that the cut was not deep. He assured that he would be fine.
Adelia nodded and looked at the spectacle. She questioned what was going on.
Henry looked at the scene and muttered that he did not know.
The Exalted One and Sabre yelled. A large explosion occurred and covered the room with a blinding light.
Adelia and Henry were startled, and they braced themselves.
The energy subsided while Ana stopped crying. As the light slowly dimmed, Adelia and Henry looked around. Everything was broken. Broken walls. Pieces of wood and glass were scattered across the floor.
The Exalted One and Sabre were unconsciously laying on the floor, blood pouring out from their eyes and mouths.
Adelia and Henry were astonished.
Ana was slowly descending onto the ground.
As Adelia stood up, she reached her hands out.
Ana, asleep, landed in her arms. The light subsided. Ana was safe and sound.
Adelia sighed in relief. Henry sat up, and he was concerned. Adelia, smiling, assured him that she was okay.
Henry was relieved. He asserted that he would check on their sons.
As Henry headed towards the door, Hafen opened it and saw the scene.
