Chapter 4. Reinvigorated by their talks w The Radiant One (TRO), Moody and Stein once again set out on their quest; hoping to find deeper meaning & higher purpose amid the chaos that (de)formed the world around them. The pair decided to head for the Utherverse, as per the guidance of TRO. The portal to the Utherverse was concealed by ancient ruins, and our yung villains made it about that far, when they were discovered by a squad of Harpies - each as bad a baddie as the last (there isn't enough likes on Instagram to indicate just how bad); and each ravenous for blood. Before they knew it, Moody & Stein were surrounded, being verbally assaulted from every angle, and in no time intoxicated by the sweet lullaby of the Harpies ("buss it make clap, BITCH! b-buss it make it clap!") How will they make it out of this one alive?! Find out next time on OX!!

Only Stein and moody ended up in the same location, both in solemn recognition that K’s attack saved them. Nursing their wounds from the previous battle, Stein and moody decided to take pause to reflect on why exactly they became villains and who inspired them down this path of world domination. In order to grow stronger, and conquer the FUTURE, they first had to look back. *Cues dreamy flashback* This leads them to back to a past roundtable discussion with the Demigod – Ife, on what it means to be a villain in today’s world.
