## Summary

Having his mind invaded by the Memoflygian, Chico sees himself in front of a bizarre corridor, with several cables spread out and an ornate door in the background. He understands the symbols. He understands the signal. Upon hearing the cries of his companion, Dara turns on the van quickly and drives towards the tree house. Xande starts to climb on the roof of the van while it is moving, with the help of Lírio to climb, and Guizo with his Deadly Speed. He jumps from the ceiling and hangs on the balcony, while Lírio takes the headset and yells at it to calm Chico, without realizing that the microphone was turned off. After Guizo turns it on, Lírio tries again to calm Chico, but without success. Meanwhile, Chico feels the fingers of the Alien entering deeper and deeper into his mind. The creature is beginning to understand him better. Dara also tries to calm him down by radio, while Xande climbs the balcony, runs and knocks against the door, entering the tree house and seeing the scene of the Alien invading the mind of Chico. He makes a maneuver to bypass the Memoflygian and ends up kicking the computer screen, breaking the device and making the Alien disappear. Xande takes off his mask and begins to calm Chico, who was wide-eyed and thinking only about what he had seen: the door. He faints in the same instant, and then is taken by the skater down to the van.

Meanwhile, Guizo and Xande return to investigate the traces of what happened, and Guizo realizes that his camera screen has been damaged in some way. Dara and Lírio begin to take care of Chico, who begins to wake up gradually, and upon realizing that he was returning to his senses, the two return to the van to hear what he has to say. He tells about seeing the hallucination of Voytek made by the Memoflygian and on the door he had seen, and that he wanted to have seen what was behind it, sharing the same feeling as Guizo. The group then decides to watch the tapes they had caught with the recordings of Morato: in the first recording, in the film The Object, Morato says that only one channel is on TV, and that its audience is growing continuously, as if a virus is being passed from station to station; They skip the tape of Late Encounters for having seen already and go straight to the tape of The 8th Guest, where Morato appears completely exhausted, with well visible dark circles. He says he discovered about the existence of Aliens that were not catalogued in his guide, and that the men in suits from the black van have been a problem, in addition to having constant blackouts and not being able to remember what he wrote down. During this tape, Chico tries to sneak away, but is easily noticed and caught by the group. Guizo puts the last tape, Moons' Voyage, and accelerating to the right moment, they see another recording of Morato, who says that there is a Psychonic in this area and that he is having trouble tracking him.

After seeing the tapes, Guizo and Xande are called by Don, who tries to talk to them about what had happened to the people at the camp and about the black van. The two invite him to help them, leaving the boy very happy with the possibility of being useful. He delivers a walkie-talkie to communicate with the group and returns home. Guizo and Xande return to the tree house to investigate, and looking under the computer table, they find three papers with annotations of symbols and scribbles made by Morato - who had supposedly forgotten what he had written. The two take the papers to the van to investigate with the group, and Dara, taking a look at the papers, at first sees the translated words, but when blinking, only sees symbols again. Guizo realizes that none of the five are really capable of trying to translate the symbols at the moment, and that only a language expert could. While investigating, during the telepathic communication of Guizo and Dara, something similar to a growl is transmitted briefly from Dara to Guizo, and the two are surprised.

The group then decides to start investigating the locations near the farm, and during the trip, they contact Calisto to talk about the findings of the symbols they had found. They then stop in front of a gas station with a convenience store, the *Flavinho Tire*, and Guizo uses his ritual to add a long hair like Lírio's. When they enter the shop, they find the man who bet a drag race with them, Bryan. He tries to punch the group, but is held by Lírio and punched by Xande, having his glasses broken. Dara grabs him and throws him to the ground, teasing him after he thought he could date her, and then he runs away. They then start talking to the salesman there, Vilmo Brotto, about the things that happen nearby, as well as buying various things in the store. They then leave the store, with Lírio taking things to the van and the rest investigating a sort of office mentioned by Vilmo, who also said something about his wife having died nearby. Lírio and Chico head to the rubber shop of Flavinho Tire, meeting the owner in question, talking to him a little and helping him fix the van. Guizo, Dara and Xande try to distract Vilmo by pretending that Xande is injured after falling from a skateboard, and after he leaves to try to call the ambulance, Dara lurks in the man’s office, finding some kind of computer emitting something. She goes to the front of the computer, finding the same type of terminal seen by Chico earlier, and then she starts talking to the terminal. The alien again mentions Voytek, and that he is at the origin of the transmission, in addition to asking where Chico and Lírio are. By saying she's on the place, Dara sees Voytek at the door. She continues to talk to him through the terminal, while calling Guizo and Lírio for telepathic communication. Lírio arrives at the door, and Voytek’s illusion disappears. Dara asks Lírio to back off again and continues talking to the alien, who keeps talking about Voytek, but talks about lies and that it is being tricked by Dara. Meanwhile, Lírio, Guizo and Xande continue their staging with Vilmo, who begins to carry Xande to the corner. Lírio begins to climb on the roof to try to hide and catch Voytek’s illusion by surprise, while Dara continues the conversation, again seeing Voytek who begins to approach her, asking to connect to her. Upon receiving the information, Guizo and Lírio start running towards the office, seeing the scene of the Memoflygian in the room heading towards Dara.

The alien begins to put its fingers deeper into Dara’s mind, saying that she is the chosen one. She also begins to have the same vision that Chico and Guizo had before: she sees a dirty corridor with several cables and a door adorned in front. Guizo tries to fight the Memoflygian using his own mental invasion on the creature, but his ritual is countered, trapping himself in a loop. And then, Lírio advances and tries to attack the creature, making it react and take its fingers off Dara’s head. Lírio pulls his sledgehammer and strikes the creature, but not before having a vision of Voytek himself in front of him. He thinks he killed his partner with the blow and starts to go crazy. Dara calms him down, reminding him that that was not the real Voytek, and then, Guizo escapes the loop and curses Leonora with Blood. Dara releases a huge scream to alert Xande, and he, without thinking twice, climbs on his skateboard and walks towards the store. Lírio gets faster, thanks to Guizo’s Deadly Speed, and then he strikes the creature with Leonora again. Afterwards, he makes a maneuver to get away from the . The Memoflygian makes another mental attack on Dara, and she begins to have flashbacks of her family’s accident, leaving her even more confused and shaken. She steps away from the computer, going behind Lírio, and he, encouraged by his own words and memories of Voytek, jumps up and crushes the creature’s head, with the teeth and veins of the Blood’s curse biting its huge head, undoing it in mid-air. The computer screen goes dead, and the group finally gets rid of the Memoflygian.

Chico and Xande reunite with the group, calming everyone, who almost went crazy, and creating a comforting and relaxed moment. Lírio tries to force himself to smile as he tries to rest his mind, being comforted by Guizo and Dara, and then the group returns to the road again until the Zucchini Farm. They arrive and are greeted by Don, who talks to them and vents a little about the feeling of no longer having his father around and having to be responsible in the house. The group tries to encourage him, saying that he is strong, and telling about the experiences that the group has already gone through, in which they had to move forward in order to remain firm and strong. Tired, Don decides to go back to sleep, putting his trust in the group.

Dara begins to look at her companions as they groom themselves inside, and somehow, she has a strange feeling. She feels... distant from the group, as if she wasn’t part of the Five. At that moment, the group realizes something: everything is extremely quiet. No sound of leaves, no wind. No noise outside. That's when they realize that inside the house there was a thin layer of fog surrounding the environment. Opening the window of the house to see from the outside, Dara sees something unimaginable: the black van was parked in front of the house, with dozens of men in suits holding guns pointed towards the window. The group tries to hide, but the men start shooting at the house. All affected begin to agonize in pain, as if an aura of energy had hit them and marked symbols in them. Chico helps the family to protect themselves upstairs, while the rest of the group begins to close all the windows of the house. When closing the last window, the group feels a change in the atmosphere, and once again silence hovers the air. Suddenly, several steps are heard from the outside, and Chico, in the upstairs hallway window, sees the people in suits grouping together, as if they were connecting to each other. They also hear people making the same noise together as if they were summoning something or something, and Guizo also notices that they have an extremely similar appearance to Adágio’s modified body. Xande, without patience, leaves home and advances towards one of the groups of people, with his bat cursed by Knowledge. Without hesitation, Lírio and Guizo also begin to go towards the other two groups, with their weapons in hand. And what the three see appearing in front of them is unbelievable: a kind of giant flying object, with a completely strange shape, floating imposing in the field. Seeing this, Dara feels it. She heard the signal. She understood the signal. She understood the call. Is there anything worse than pain and death? It is coming.

She feels that everything has been so light up here. Even those who died could not have been saved by them. They’re all young, and it’s not their fault what happened. But what could be worse than Pain and Death, getting closer and closer? They’re just going after their mentor, who disappeared. Could be the eternal despair or the cold solitude something worse than Pain and Death? It’s almost as if the innocence of the group forms a shield. They are The Five! No matter the challenge, they will eventually overcome. But Dara will never be alone while they are here. And she's ready to understand what is worse than Pain and Death. She'll want to die. She'll want to suffer. And she won’t have any of that stuff.

**It** is here.

And suddenly, Chico, Lírio, Guizo and Xande wake up. It’s about 8:00 in the morning, and they are at the home of the Magal Benza family. They try to remember what happened a few hours ago.
But someone is missing...

Who is Dara?
