5 hours until Killestia was to make an appearance at the great war ceremony... Blackfield wade sure to grab a drink before the whole thing went down, with that story still in her mind. Could Crescenta Truly return from the depths in which Killestia trapped her? No. It was impossible! No force has ever been able to break free from-

She heard a thump...... It was loud, and it rang throughout the whole town, though no-one seemed to noticed. everybody was too busy having a good time. But Blackfield heard it... she heard it loud and clear, and knew what it was....

Crescenta was breaking out.....

Blackfield quickly grabbed her drink, slammed it down like a shot, and ran out the door. She had to warn Killestia before it was too late, but there was a problem: she didn't know this town. She didn't know it's twists and turns, it's dead ends and shortcuts, but she knew who would. She groaned at the thought of her help, but this was more important for her pride..... And sanity...

Blackfield asked around for directions till finally she found her destination: The Curb Stomp. Inside, Blackfield immediately spotted Pinkamena waiting tables inside the Bar/Grill/Slaughterhouse. With speed like Hermes, Blackfield dashed into the joint and called out for Pinkamena.

"Pinkamena!" She shouted for her, who responded with by looking at her and raising an eyebrow.

"What do you need? I'm kinda busy at the moment!" She shouted back over all the noise.

Blackfield didn't have time to explain. She teleported over to Pinkamena's location. But before Pinkamena could finish her "How did you-" sentence, Blackfield was already explaining herself.

"Look you've got to listen to me, do you remember the story about Crescenta and Killestia?" Blackfield said.

"Yyyyeah.....?" Pinkamena raised an eyebrow.

Blackfield sensed her judgement and started talking before she could act. "Well if you follow the story right, then today marks Crescenta's return! I need your help to find my way through this city so i can get to Town Hall and warn Killestia! I know what your thinking; 'this woman is crazy if she believes in that stupid story' but you have to believe me!"

The two looked at each other for a long while, until Pinkamena smiled and spoke up. "Why didn't you just say you needed a ride!"

Pinkamena convinced one of the other waitresses to take her place and took Blackfield outside. She took out her chainsaw and told Blackfield to hang on to her tightly. Before Blackfield could ask her why she was using her chainsaw, Pinkamena flipped a switch on her chainsaw where the words "TRAVEL MODE" appeared, stuck her chainsaw into the ground, started it up and they went off. The chainsaw travel allowed them to scale buildings, turn corners surprisingly fast, and they were at their destination in no time, where devil dash was showing off her motorcycle skills by riding around, firing at targets, landing perfectly, racing others and doing all different types of tricks on it. They ran into the Building and saw the crowds of people all passing drinks and dancing with one-another, but there was no sight of Killestia.

Blackfield heard the thump sound again. This time it was louder. She was closer to the source. She looked around for any signs of Crescenta's return, but the town just looked ordinary. Pinkamena disappeared off somewhere in the building to who-knows-where. Blackfield spotted a door that led to the back room, she had to get there before it was too late..... But it already was.... She saw all the curtains close before her eyes and the room became shrouded in darkness, she watched the stage that Killestia was supposed to appear from, but when the curtain parted, the people were not met with Killestia.

As the people in the room gasped at what appeared before them, Blackfield could only stand there and look in awe at the being that was Crescenta. She was clad In dark blue and black heavy armor that covered her from head to toe, and a helmet that exposed only her eeys and mouth, the rest was armored. Blackfield and the others noticed the dark shadowy figure that loomed behind her with it's arms crossed and beady purple eyes that looked at anything Crescenta did.

Crimson Fury stepped out of the crowd. "Hey! Who the hell do you think you are!? This aint no costume party lady!"

Crescenta scowled at the ignorant little brat that bad mouthed to her and responded in a loud tone. "Fools! i am the true lord of the castle which you all bow too! My sister has attempted to concele my within the dark depths of the moon. I am the very being you all fear in bed at night. I am the eyes that watch you in the dark ally way. I am-"

"A rapist...?" Pinakmena interrupted. Everybody laughed at this remark, even though she was being completley serious.

"NO!" Crescenta shouted. "I AM CRESCENTA! GODESS OF THE MOON, REBEL LEADER OF THE DARK ARMY, AND ETERNAL SISTER OF A TYRANT!"

"I know who you are!" Blackfield shouted. "I have read about you in my books and i saw your return coming. And luckily...."

Blackfield unsheathed her sword. "I came prepared...."

Crescenta smirked at this little peasent who dared to defy her, but before Blackfield could do anything, Crimson fury gave the order to her just-arriving reaper gang members to fire. Crescenta saw this attack coming, and the dark shadow figure behind her appears in front of her, used it's entire body to block the bullets from coming in contact with Crescenta, while she conjured up a row of sword that floated in mid-air and impaled all of the shooters. Crescenta's power was clearly visible, and Blackfield wasnt going to be able to defeat her in her own, but she had to try.

Blackfield quickly dashed to attack the moon godess, but with all the panick of all the people running out of the building and the bullets that stopped flying, Blackfiueld never saw the figure coming. Just when Blackfield got close enough to take a swing at Crescenta, the figure appeared in front of her, and with it's two ginormous hand, grabbed Blackfield's entire body, save for her her shoulders, head, and two feet, and started to squeeze the life out of her. Pinkamena could hear the sound of Blackfield's leather being squeezed by the creature's hands, and had to act fast. Blackfield began to gorw dizzey, she could feel the life of her being curshed by the figures impressive strength, as she couldnt take in and breath. But just as she thought she had release her final breath, something happened.

All she heard was a window crashing, the sound of a motorcycle, and she dropped to the ground, her entire body aching so badly she couldn't stand. she looked up to see that Devil Dash had managed to drive in through a window and had hit Crescent hard enough to knock her into a pillar, breaking it down. The dark figure immediatly rushed to her aid and picked up her limp body. she was alive but hurt badly. being trapped on the moon, she hadnt had much time to rebuild her strength. Devil Dash attempted another hit with the motorcycle, but the dark figure clothslined her off of with with a hard punch to the torso, which sent her flying, and retreated into the Red Rum forest.
