Issue 28

Mercury's Five

Intro

The scene shifts as Kara, now not in control, is possessed by the sinister child. Danny, recalling a past event from issue 10, attempts to burn the demon out, a move that is both foolhardy and fitting for the moment.

The heroes strategize to provoke the Headmistress, hoping to distract her and cause the casino construct to collapse. Regula taunts the Headmistress with smug remarks, leading to an all-out assault of dark energy directed at Regula. Lloyd steps in to absorb the blow, showcasing his power negation abilities.

The conclusion of the fight sees the heroes victorious. The Headmistress is knocked into another dimension, while Kara uses her powers to send the demon child screaming into another realm. As the dust settles, the heroes and their allies stand triumphant, ready to face the next challenge.

As the session wraps up, the group takes a moment to reflect and comfort each other. Jen and Regula share a drink and a conversation, finding solace after the intense battle.
