Alice: "I never understood why Phantom always came around me when I was alone."
Interrogator 2: "Simple. They like you."
Alice: "So I've heard..."

Feeling a sudden urge to explore, Alice left the cozy atmosphere of Tori's home and stepped outside into the cool evening air. As she walked down the familiar streets of her neighborhood, she allowed her curiosity to guide her, wandering aimlessly in search of new sights and experiences. The night was alive with the gentle hum of activity, the soft glow of streetlights casting long shadows across the pavement. With each step she took, Alice felt a sense of excitement building within her, her senses heightened by the anticipation of what lay ahead. She knew that the night held endless possibilities, and she was determined to embrace every moment of it.

But something was off...someone was watching her...Alice sighed with frustration. "I know you're there. You can come on out." But she could never expect who it was. Phantom. Again. Alice's heart raced as she felt the weight of Phantom's gaze upon her.

As Phantom approached, Alice could feel her pulse quicken, her senses on high alert as she braced herself for whatever might come next. The sight of fresh blood smeared across Phantom's face sending a shiver down her spine.

Phantom came close...very close "What do you want?" Alice demanded.
Alice's instincts screamed at her to be cautious, the mischievous glint in Phantom's eyes sending a chill down her spine as she struggled to understand their true intentions. Despite the mask that hid the lower half of their face, Alice could sense the sly grin hidden beneath.

"Whoever said I wanted anything?" said Phantom, toying with Alice's uncertainty. It was clear that Phantom was playing a dangerous game, one in which the rules were constantly shifting and the stakes were higher than ever.

"You were the one who killed all those people weren't you?" Alice questioned. "Perhaps." Phantom answered. Alice glared. She knew it was him. Phantom took notice of her glaring, his sudden shift in expression caught Alice off guard, the seriousness in their expression cutting through the air like a knife. "Here's something you don't understand," said Phantom, "Someone took my sister from me."

"And I'll kill as many people as I have to if that's what it takes to find my sister!" Phantom growled. "But do you have to kill everyone?" Alice questioned, cautiously walking closer to Phantom. Phantom sighed, as he lowered his head. "I...I don't know anymore," they admitted quietly. But before Alice could utter another word, a deafening screech pierced the air, shattering the fragile peace of the night.

Phantom and Alice searched around for the source of the noise. Alice's eyes widened in shock as a blood dragon swooped down out of nowhere, grabbing Phantom in its razor sharp talons and carrying them off into the night sky. In an instant, Phantom shifted into his dragon form, locked in a fierce battle with the blood dragon. Alice sighed. Her heart still beating out of her chest. Luna and the others are probably wondering where she is right now.

As Alice returned to Tori's. Luna could see through Alice's neutral face, sensing the tension beneath the surface. "Are you okay kiddo?" she asked.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAnKlgFTgZH6
Alice nodded. "I saw Phantom... again," she replied. The room went silent. "Are they hot?" Jace asked, breaking the silence, and causing a stir of mixed reactions. "Well how would I know? He was wearing a mask!" Alice hissed.

"Wait, wait, wait, Phantom's a guy?" Jessie asked curiously. Alice nodded, her frustration evident as she replied, "Yes, and now I know how much of a nuisance I am."
23Please respect copyright.PENANA1XgfPSLTfS
Tori stepped in, offering a reassuring smile to Alice. "You are not a nuisance, Ali," she said gently. "I beg to differ," Tristan teased, raising a finger. Alice couldn't help but laugh at Tristan's remark."That's because I'm practically your little sister, Tristan," she said, a hint of mischief in her voice, "I'm supposed to be annoying to you."

Meanwhile, in the bustling streets of New York, Michelangelo found himself immersed in a different kind of adventure as he eavesdropped on the conversations of the Kraang. Hidden in the shadows, he listened intently to their chatter curiously.

"Kraang, in how many time units known as minutes will the mutagen be ready?" "Twenty." "Kraang needs to be doing the action that is hurrying up." "Kraang is unable to do the action which is called 'hurrying up'."
23Please respect copyright.PENANApqhlq5xAyb
Michelangelo was confused. How were they getting more mutagen? Wasn't their dimension portal destroyed? Michelangelo leaped down, getting a closer look. The Kraang look in his direction.

Michelangelo cursed beneath his breath. "Stop the one that needs to be stopped! Stop!" A Kraang droid exclaimed as they started blasting at Michelangelo. Taking out his nunckucks, Michelangelo fought the Kraang with swift and agile movement.
