Happy New Years, Mean People c: Vol 2 13

***Happy New Years, Mean People c: Vol 2 13*** is the thirteenth chapter in Happy New Years, Mean People c: Vol 2.

## Synopsis

A bloodied Damon Packley begins to die, as his willpower and life force interchangeably tries to sense the real world. As he fails to regain consciousness, he sees nightmarish illusions of people from his past, including Professor Butch, Jordan Ickermann, Lorenzo and Wendy Chang, as well as Draya Freeman. Freeman smiles at Packley, making him smile but as more illusions of Fresh Panther goons Monica Rockwell, Lenora Hunt and others gather around Freeman, her smile fades and becomes one of unreasonable, unsettling anger. Freeman stomps on Packley with her boots.

The attack, while not physically real, *mentally* affects Packley as he suffers from his gunshot wound. Ragorias appears and performs white magic on Packley in an attempt to restore his mental health and perhaps bring him out of his physical comatose state. Ragorias notices a fracture in Packley’s mind shortly after, discovering Josephine used Packley’s injury as a means to breach Packley’s mind and enter the real world. Ragorias secures Packley to his back and exits Packley’s subconsciousness and the Tower of Blackness in pursuit of Josephine.

Back in the real world, Josephine stops Breeyana Jess from killing Liliann believing that “an enemy of her enemy is her friend”. While Lilian thanks Josephine for being spared, she spits a lizard mind parasite at Josephine in hopes she can override Josephine’s body and make her carry out killing Damon Packley. The parasite misses Josephine completely, and forced Josephine to grab Liliann’s forehead where the lizard woman is disintegrated. Her powers and abilities evaporate, seeming to be added to Josephine’s peak physical state. With this sudden boost in power, she sucker punches a confused Breeyana and antagonizes the nurses. As she boasts, Josephine threatens them all with a new world where Rage Knights, super-humans, aliens, or “ugly” lifeforms will cease to exist.

Spencer Humafeld appears and aims his Marry Bushra Arm at her. He thanks Josephine for killing Liliann, but insists she step away from his friends or he’ll blow up the building even if it means killing them all. A puzzled Josephine questions Spencer’s morality and friendship, admitting that in doing such a thing, he’d kill even Damon Packley whom he was originally protecting. This serves as a distraction when Cordega appears and bites Josephine’s arm. She struggles as the large bear crushes her and tears into her arm. Spencer commands Breeyana to enter Packley’s room and grab him. Breeyana enters and finds Ragorias holding Packley already. The Chirothulian races out the room, tugging Breeyana along as they attempt to escape the hospital. They pass Dill with an incapacitated Aaron and Midihr, whom Ragorias suggests follow him as they try to flee the city and perhaps country from Josephine’s believed power. The Rage Knights run into Evida who appears at the entrance. She introduces herself as one of Worthyzone’s valued leaders, and demands they hand over Packley or the consequences will be “dire”.

Midihr and Dill aim their drumsticks and SMGs at Evida respectively as they prepare to attack her. Daniel finishes meditation and is certain that he can save Damon Packley and his friends from Liliann, he starts down the hallway and finds Cordega mauling Josephine with a reluctant Spencer who wants to ensure Cordega’s safety. Josephine grapples Cordega and places her into hypnosis. The bear falls asleep and loosens Josephine, but the young woman is frustrated and whips out two fingers to distort reality. A quick-acting Daniel uses his camera gun, but seemingly *fails.*

Where the hospital sits, a new Tower of Blackness arises from the ground up. Evida laughs at Dill, Ragorias and Midihr, deeming them “losers” as she flies upwards into the new tower where Josephine’s power will reign.
