A pale blue flame was ignited on the tombstone as it burst into flames. The flames consumed the entire tombstone in seconds and began to hover in the air. "I..I did it! Now what Alfredo?", Even said and turned to see Alfredo being forced into a corner by Cain. Clearly he wasn't a match for him in terms of hand to hand combat. "Ugh....Call out to her!", Alfredo yelled whilst trying his best to stand his ground. "Heh...You should focus on yourself Mr. Ghost... You're fading out of existence", Cain sneered and landed a heavy punch on Alfredo that sent him flying. "Alfredo!", Even yelled as she moved towards him in an attempt to help. "Stay back, I have everything under control", Coughing out what looked like blood, Alfredo said as he stood up. "But you just coughed blood", Even said worryingly. "Soul Essence...How can a ghost have blood? Mr Ghost why don't you explain things to her", Cain said sarcastically. He was enjoying himself. "His gloves, there's an enchantment on them, I lose soul essence with each punch. When I lose all my soul essence.... I'll cease to exist ", Alfredo said gravely as he spat out more soul essence. "Exactly, these gloves are awesome aren't they.", Cain said as he waved is hands in the air recieving imaginary applause."Ok jokes over. Now you die", He suddenly turned serious and he said whilst dashing towards Alfredo. "Even now!", Alfredo said as he readied for another round of beatings. Even, distressed at her helplessness felt a faint connection form between her and the soul flame, it expressed it's intent to help Even turned to face it and said, "Please help Alfredo..Mother".
"Haha too weak, you've become too weak Mr. Ghost", Cain laughed whilst hurling punches at Alfredo. He had the upper hand and Alfredo was on the verge of breaking down. "Well then, it was nice playing with you but now you die...I'm serious this time", with that Cain raised his first and a pale grey aura surrounded his first. "Goodbye". He threw a punch at Alfredo and it almost connected but just then, a white light flashed by and took Alfredo with it. "Tsk....How pathetic. Hey old man, you miss me?", A soft feminine voice said and the white light dissipated to reveal a woman with chestnut coloured hair. Her blue eyes glowed with faint traces of white in-between. Her face was round with a small amount of freckles. She was a carbon copy of Even with the only difference being their eye colours. Even's was grey whilst her's was blue.
"As brash as usual ,unbecoming of a descendant of Vengeur. It really is you, Welcome back Martha ", Alfredo said with a slight smile on his face. "He got you real good. Take a rest while I rough him up a bit", Martha Svryn said as she dropped Alfredo who winced in pain. Slamming her fists together, she turned to face Cain. "Oy silver freak, you made my princess cry. Unforgivable. Your punishment, death by 1000 punches", she said. "A new guest huh. You may look more human but remember you're still a ghost and I can kill you", Cain said gravely. "You think I'm on the same level as him. Let's find out. Death by 1000 punches coming right up", Martha said without care for Cain's threat. Dashing towards Cain she smiled and suddenly disappeared. "What...what the..ugh", Cain said whilst trying to find her when he received a heavy punch in the stomach. "That's one 999 more to go", Martha said as she unleashed a wave of punches. She juggled Cain in the air as he punches rained on him nonstop. "997....998..999", Martha said after some time. "And 1000...See you in hell", Martha swung her first and was about to land a powerful hit on Cain when Alfredo said ,"Enough..Martha, he wasn't after our lives in the first place". Cain fell to the ground coughing up blood. "Tch...why didn't you say so...Now I look like a bad person", Martha replied with a pout. "W...what is going on?", Even who had just recovered from the shock of seeing her mother asked. "Haha, I told you you'd get beaten up but you didn't believe me. You nearly died well not that you can", Alfredo laughed and said whilst approaching Cain. "Well..ugh...cough.. I had to see for myself", Cain coughed out a huge amount of flesh and wiped his mouth whilst talking. He then sat on the ground and crossed his legs. "M.. mother?", Even said slowly whilst looking at the ghost in front of her. "Oh hi Princess, miss me?", Martha turned around and replied with a smile. "Mother!", Even rushed and hugged Martha. After more than 5 years, the mother and daughter had been reunited.
