## Synopsis

The mysterious woman’s voice continues to call out to Packley inside the tower, urging him to come upstairs where he is “needed”. Packley and Ragorias note the quietness of the building and how no associates or even Diseased wander the area. The two make it upstairs where they encounter Josephine Caos, a young hispanic woman with mental prowess who seems to be masterful at manipulating everything around the room. Packley questions her and asks if she’s associated with Pack Department. While Caos doesn’t respond immediately, she *does* create two Diseased with the heads of Dee Dee Faceson, Heqet T'aas, Frett Ling and Rachel Ottomeyer. Ragorias outs her as “nefarious” and rushes her despite her initial telekinesis frightening him. He is defeated by Josephine who flicks him, and ultimately returns back to the Rage Sword form where he joins Packley and suggests he continues the fight for him.

Josephine reveals that she needs Packley to kill himself, and bring balance to Queens Mane and the entirety of the world as it fears superhumans and aliens will bring about an unprecedented apocalyptic doomsday. When Packley refuses, Josephine commands the Diseased to attack him and launch Work Anxiety Beams at him to make him feel antagonized for ten hours. Packley evades the beams, and even *runs* from Ops Manager, Pardoner, Processor, and angry-faced clones whom appear to invoke misery and frustration. The hellish ghouls spout toxic phrases, even commending racism, name-calling, being mean to others and other sociopathic qualities relating to obscure topics such as dating, sex, marriage and cars.

A confused Packley is ultimately *stricken* by a speeding car of angry “ugly man” hating people. A drooling hostile woman gets out the driver’s seat and loads a shotgun, shouting borderline racist profanities about attractiveness. Packley fights the woman and her passengers, impaling and killing a woman. Josephine appears beside Packley and picks on him for “betraying” his own moral code just to stay alive. Packley shakes her teasing and is shot in the chest by the woman’s shotgun. The woman is congratulated by Diseased and a remaining passenger as she’s “promoted” to Damon Rage Knights’ Killer. Josephine explains the strange title as being a position where those who dislike Damon Bradley counterparts, and *the Rage Knights: Red God* being able to hunt the superhumans professionally, steal weapons or artifacts and watch their adventures in an attempt to eliminate aliens, super-human threats and other human concerns.

As Packley bleeds out, he curses Josephine and tries to heal himself. In real life, Packley appears to have a bad dream as the room vibrates from the commotion of two heavy battles. Aaron punches and wounds his hand by knocking the woman out of her reptile appearance. Shaken by his fight, an exhausted Aaron wobbles over to Dill for a fist bump before collapsing. Dill screams his name as he overhears the other floors’ commotion.

Midihr displays a tactical fighting style that allows him to weaken Liliann. As he fights her, he questions if he should use his new weapon: the Unfriendly Detonators, a strange explosive that specifically targets every human being whom harms others. The bombs are tricky to use and can even be used to kill him personally as Midihr knows he’s a bully tactician who picks on other bullies and even goes so far as to kill, steal and perform nefarious actions. Liliann becomes frightened of Midihr’s power and instead of continuing the fight, continues to retreat for Damon Packley’s room. Liliann’s escape leads her to several nurses guarding Packley’s room, just as she prepares to cut them down, Breeyana interferes and viciously whips her down. She prepares to murder Liliann, but a ghostly white hand stops her from delivering the kill.
