Chapter 1 - Chapter One: The Beginning

There were three people on horseback, walking in the desert looking for something. One of them, Miguel, saw something crawling in the distance. And Miguel said:

"Do you see what I see?"

 Blossom replied

"I think I see something there... It looks like a rock. Are you sure that thing is moving?"

 Balor said

"Whether it was a man or a rock, we will lose nothing... Let's go."

 The three approached, and each step made the scene clearer... And uglier. The three of them went forward to see if what they saw was a rock or a person. When they got to him, they discovered that he was a man, not a rock as they thought. Miguel looked at him and said to himself:

"Oh.. This man is almost dead. Looks like a zombie... His lower body is non-existent, he crawls with one hand, his face is almost eaten, and his skin is pale."

 Miguel took his gaze away from the man, and looked behind him and found a city. He said to himself:

"Hmm... What did he see inside that city? And what turned it into this form? This man seems to have crawled out of that city. I'm curious... What's in that city? And what brought him to this situation?

Blossom got off her horse and approached him fearfully, saying:

 "What happened to you? And why does it look like this?"

The unknown man answered her

"An hour before you arrived, a strange woman came into town. The inhabitants of the city know each other well, and visitors from outside the city rarely come to us. We weren't bothered by it, we were happy with new people coming. But no one expected this day to be the worst day of our lives. This woman began to show her malicious intentions... She used black magic to turn humans into semi-dead... Bodies that move unconsciously. Some of them retained a small part of their consciousness, a few like me retained it.

The man did not finish speaking, as Miguel killed him. Blossom shouted at Miguel

"Why did you kill him? Why?!"

 He answered her with a cold smile

He was very talkative... I don't want him to spoil surprises."

 Balor laughed in a muffled voice:

"I like your soul, Miguel."

 The three continued on their way to the city. When they arrived, they found the guards dead.

Blossom said:

 The guards died of bacteria... You know who's going to be killed like that, don't you? 

Also?"

 Miguel looked at Blossom with a smile, and then said:

"I think ... Yes, I know who it is." 

And the three entered the city

 Chapter Two: The Polluted City

Blossom put her hand on her nose and said indignantly

"What smells bad?"

 Miguel looked forward, and a pile of semi-dead walked and crawled through the city, while corpses were scattered everywhere inside and walls stained with strange blackness.

Balor sarcastically said:

 "You have seen, Blossom and Miguel... Do you now know who the perpetrator is?"

Miguel replied confidently:

 "Yes, we knew who it was."

Miguel advanced towards one of the corpses, leaned over it a little and said:

 "Ooo Balor, look at these... Do you see what happened to it? Do you realize why I became this way?

Balor shook his head, saying:

 "No..."

Miguel said:

 "Bacteria... And black magic. There is only one person I know who can make this mess."

He then continued:

"Let's part."

And Miguel went away alone. Blossom shouted:

"Aaaah! Balor, I want to stay with you... I don't want to go alone!

Balor said carelessly:

"Well... Do whatever you want."

 He then raised his hand and began to pull the lava out of it, killing the half-dead one by one.

Suddenly an unknown person screamed:

 Don't kill them! Don't kill them! I don't want my hard work to be wasted!"

Balor paused and stared around and said sarcastically:

"Who's that kid screaming? Is he sad that I'm smashing his toys?"

Then let out a loud laugh:

"Haha

 The ground shook from beneath them, and the building next to them broke, and a giant zombie dinosaur came out of it. Balor and Blossom froze in place in astonishment. Blossom shouted:

"Miguel! What happened to you?!"

 Miguel the Dinosaur was standing tall behind a person who came out of the shadows with playful steps... Then he stood in front of them. Behind him stood Miguel the dinosaur and his appearance changed.

Blossom said angrily:

"Alice, you cursed one! What are you doing?!

Alice shouted with childish resentment:

"Aaaah! Seraphiel has assigned me the task of gathering some human beings for him, and I am busy gathering them... And this mold," she pointed to Balor, "is killing them!"

 Balor was staring at her with a big smile.

Blossom said:

"Why did you turn Miguel into one of them? Bring him back to his human form!"

Alice said, raising her eyebrows:

"Well... Fair enough. But it was he who started first. However, I will return it."

 She popped her finger, then moved her hand like a claw, and the black bacteria began to pull out of Miguel's body.

Miguel's consciousness gradually returned, then he returned to his normal form and said angrily:

"you!"

Alice laughed lightly, then looked up at the sky and said:

"Time is up, guys!"

 Miguel sarcastically said:

"What's over? Are we late for the party?"

And all of a sudden... From outside the city, something giant fell from the sky.

 Blossom screamed:

"What is this?! Is it a castle?! A small village? Palace?!"

Miguel said stunned:

"No... It's a factory. A mobile factory !"

Alice happily replied:

"Yes! It is... A huge mobile factory."

 The factory landed on the ground, standing on a massive four feet. Then it fired a vibrating device with force and shattered the city wall.

Balor said in surprise:

"Um... How wonderful!"

The factory steadily descended, its gate opened, and a escalator came out of it.

Alice raised her hand to the sky and waved, then pointed to the gate and said:

"Come on, my children... Enter."

 The half-dead began to head inward one by one

.

Blossom stood stunned and said:

"What do you plan to do with these humans?!"

 Alice tilted her head and said:

"I'm just executing orders."

The half-dead kept coming in until the city was completely empty.

Miguel looked at Balor and Blossom, then looked back at the factory.

Alice ran merrily into the gate, then poked her head out from behind the door and said lightly:

"Won't you come?"

 Miguel and Balor exchanged glances.

Miguel said:

"What do you think?"

Balor smiled and said:

"Let us satisfy our curiosity... And we enter."

 They laughed together, and then they entered the gate.

Blossom stood behind them, holding her head, saying:

"Oh my God..."

Then I followed them inside.

The gate closed behind them, and the factory began to rise again in preparation for movement.

 Chapter Three: The Royal Procession

Elsewhere...

Someone woke up from a horrific nightmare. He looked out his window and saw people lined up in a procession.

He muttered:

"Uh... I forgot about the procession."

He looked at his phone and found many messages... He didn't read any of them.

.

Then the sound of the bell rang out:

Resonance... Resonance...
