For the last several months a group of sirens had weaved their way into the same school as Nick, Arron, and Jack were. The sirens had attempted and failed multiple times to break the Dice Changers' will and faith. However, their new plan was sure to succeed, for they found out Arron had a girlfriend, Mia, and thought of using her as bait. The sirens used their power and influence to trap Mia. Then during lunchtime would use their charm and singing abilities once again to soften them. If that didn't work then perhaps seeing some girl-on-girl action would finally break them.

So they did exactly that. They trapped Mia by having her come to the principal's office. When she was called many of the students suspected she did something very bad, but Mia was very much confused. "What did I do wrong? Or are the sex traffickers posing as her family. That wouldn't be the first time they pulled a stunt like that." she said to herself as she walked down the halls to the principal's office. There she saw that the man wasn't himself. He was seated so stiffly and looked like a puppet, which only made her more uneasy. She sat down and asked, "Why did you call me?" The principal said nothing as the door behind her closed. Mia got up and turned around to see one of the sirens standing in front of it. "We need you as bait and maybe our little plaything." said the siren. "Why would she tell me her plan? Also that word, "plaything" I hoped I never had to hear again." She took out her dice from her bag and became Wav-Ta. She pulled out her daggers and cast Mirror Image on herself. Three fake clones appeared by her side, but before she could charge the siren cast Demon Scream which knocked Wav-Ta and her clones to the back wall and fell to the floor, causing Wav-Ta to be severely weakened. Wav-Ta tried to stand up but the siren grabbed her by the hair and said "My, my you are a sight to behold. Such a shame you're with Arron and not someone like me." she then scoffed at the idea, then dragged Wav-Ta's body through the office.

It was then lunchtime. Nick, Arron, and Jack sat together with some other classmates. "Has anyone seen Mia? Shouldn't she be here by now," asked Nick. "I was told she had been sent to the principal's office during her last class. I guess some sort of investigation might be happening and she got caught in it, or someone may have been bullying her, again," said Arron. "Odd, but wouldn't she have told us about it already?" asked Jack. "Not unless, the sirens. My gosh why didn't I think about that," said Arron in an excited voice of realization. "Wait the sirens? Why would they go after her? And why not earlier?" asked Nick. "It might be because they are trying to break us and found out that she's my girlfriend," said Arron. "Even if that is true, what are they hoping to use her for, bait of some sort?" asked Jack. As if to answer his question, people pointed to the sirens who were behind a wall of glass, and in the hallway leading to the lunchroom, a couple of them were dragging Mia's body and attached to the wall behind them using demonic cuffs and chains. "Oh no, they messed up. No messes with my sister. NO ONE!" shouted Jack as grabbed his dice from his pocket but before he could transform the sirens started to sing which made the Dice Changers clench their ears in pain and fall to the ground screaming in pain.

Within the Dice Changers lustful thoughts invaded their heads. Sherren, Goldleaf, and Kamoss all tried to fight off the thoughts but were struggling to do so. The sirens saw their resistance and were becoming weary from singing so much. "Come on guys, fight it. You're stronger than them. 'Dig deep' that's what you all say." The siren's leader, Tina, stared at the boys as they slowed and stood up in defiance of the sirens' power fueled by faith and encouragement. "Maybe now's the time to pull off our final desperate move." Tina went to Mia, grabbed her chin and kissed Mia, and proceeded to make her downward.

The mere sight of it ignited a fury within Arron he never had felt before, even when he saw his friends get stabbed or knocked out. Nothing came close to this feeling, it him so deeply that Goldleaf felt a new power flowing into him and as he saw through Arron's eyes his anger burned like a furious fire. Arron grabbed his dice and became Goldleaf, who screamed "LOVER'S WRATH!" and an energy aura flowed around him.

The same sight struck a cord on Jack who became more angry than ever before. The sight of such a sin being committed on a sister. It made his rage burn brighter. His faith soared to a higher state than what he thought was possible. He too grabbed his dice and transformed into Kamoss who screamed "RIGHTEOUS ANGER"

Being a witness to such an evil made Nick finally think about what God must be seeing, what he must be feeling. Such realizations were made by Sherren and his anger rose as well. He grabbed his dice and became Sherren who screamed "DIVINE RAGE!"

The awesome power of the three warriors made the sirens slowly regret everything they did. Fear overwhelmed like the power being displayed in front of them. They saw that the glass that was separating Mia from the rest was broken. Tina had what was happening and felt helpless for the first time.

Kamoss and Goldleaf drew their swords, cast Divine Smite, and charged as one of the sirens. Goldleaf went for the head and sliced through it while Kamoss stabbed into her midsection and saw it explode from the power of the two paladins. Sherren swung his sword at a siren, first slicing her wings, then her arms, and finally stabbing her multiple times in the stomach.

By this time everyone ran away in fear. Some filmed the event, but the power being released caused the phones that were exposed to explode. People ran down the halls yelling and screaming. The office staff finally snapped out of their trance and issued lockdown protocols. "Good, that means we show off our new power and not worry about any of our classmates getting hurt," said Sherren, as he was getting ready to fight another siren. "I agree," said Goldleaf as he finished off another siren. After killing all the adjacent sirens the trio surrounded Tina. She had seen the three warriors chop through her underlings like they were paper. Their beautiful bodies litter the lunchroom and entrance of the hallway. She was scared, powerless, and out of options. "You murdered my sisters, my friends. HOW DARE YOU. YOU WILL PAY-" Before she could finish her sentence Kamoss stabbed her. She slumped onto Kamoss's shoulder, who proceeded to shove her to the ground. "Goldleaf do you want to end her, or shall I?" asked Kamoss. "Go ahead, if I kill her, it would mean I did so out of revenge and not justice. Despite what my heart wants," said Goldleaf. "Well, in that case, Sherren, Do you want to finish her off?" asked Kamoss. "Well considering I still have God's anger flowing through, I see why not," answered Sherren, Who slayed Tina by the sword. The trio powered down, cut Mia free, and turned back into Nick, Arron, and Jack. Mia hugged Arron and cried. "It's okay. You're okay. Shh." Nick and Jack stood around the pair in respect and comfort.

A faint crying could be heard by Jack. "Nick do you hear that?" asked Jack. "Hear what?" asked Nick. "Crying, I hear crying. Why don't we check it out and leave Arron and Mia alone," said Jack. "I'm fine with that. Plus I think we killed all the sirens anyway," said Nick. Nick and Jack walked down and the crying got louder and louder, then they turned the corner and could hear it coming from the girls' bathroom. "Well, I wish we could help. Unless there's someone we know that can," said Jack. "Why don't we ask her to come out. Maybe she was afraid of getting killed in the fight," said Nick. "Let's try it," said Jack. "HEY YOU, THE FIGHT IS OVER YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!" shouted Nick. An office staffer came from another end of the hallway. "Why are you two out here you? Those creatures could still be out there," she with confusion and concern. "The fantasy people took care of them. We saw them kill the sirens and then run off," said Jack. "And I'm guessing you are trying to take advantage of the situation by harassing a girl?" she asked. "Not at all, quite the opposite actually. We heard crying from where we were and decided to check it out, sadly we can't go in there without looking like creeps, but good thing you're here, to help us," said Nick. "Alright, I'll see who it is and see what I can do," she said. She went in and screamed as she ran out. "MONSTER, THERE" S A MONSTER IN THE GIRL" S BATHROOM!" she screamed. "It must be a siren," said Jack. Both Jack and Nick became Kamoss and Sherren and went into the girl's bathroom. Along the wall was a siren covering herself with her wings. crying loudly. "Should we kill her?" asked Kamoss. "No, remember the cult. Some of y'all were just like her, and just you she might need to be seen mercy," replied Sherren. "Look I know I tried to kill you guys, but I was being misled. What's her excuse?" asked Kamoss. "Why don't we ask her," replied Sherren. Both knelt beside her, her wings flickered as she cried. "Hey it's okay, we don't want to hurt you. Everything is going to be okay," said Sherren. He transformed into Nick who tried to hug the siren. Siren did nothing and kept crying. After a while her wings opened up and she looked at Kamoss, then turned to look at Nick. "Why haven't you killed me like my sisters?" she asked with tear-stained eyes. Kamoss turned back into Jack. "Because just like me, I had to realize I was on the wrong side. I did a lot of bad things because I thought I was doing God's work. Turned out, it was all a lie made up by a demon who was controlling my dad." said Jack. "A demon?" she asked. "Yes, very powerful and manipulative," said Jack. "Tina talked to one before she turned us. I wonder if it's the same one?" she asked. "It might be, but for now why don't we leave because me and Nick do not belong here and Arron may need help, though I advise you to stand behind us since Mia might still be traumatized by what your people did to her," said Jack.

The trio left and reunited with Arron and Mia, standing in the middle of the hallway talking. Both of them looked at Jack and Nick, who tried to hide the siren by walking side by side. "Whose that behind you?" asked Arron. "A survivor. She never attacked us. Instead, she hid in the bathroom and cried." said Nick. "Oh, well that might make things awkward," said Arron. "Let's just go to class and go up to the game store so that we can talk to the angel about all this and our new powerups," said Arron.

After finishing the school day, the group went to the game store. There the angel greeted them. "I sensed a ton of power from your school. I guess you managed to defeat the sirens?" asked the angel. "Yes, and our guys got new abilities, mine got Divine Rage," said Nick. "Mine got Lover's Wrath," said Arron. "I got Righteous Anger," said Jack. "Interesting, I know what those abilities do. For instance, Lover's Wrath is fueled by the singular goal of protecting a loved one. A desire that's so deep that you tap into divine power. It enhances your magic and physical power. Righteous Anger is when you see a sin and can think of nothing else but to destroy it. Increasing magic power and stamina. Divine Rage is basically being able to feel God's feelings and having that power you up. It makes you deal extra damage and resist all types of damage. These abilities are fueled by anger and a desire for justice and the use of Divine power. I now see why I was told not to interfere" said the angel. "Wait you wanted to help us?" asked Arron. "I did, but God knew you needed this challenge," said the angel. "Ah," said Nick, Jack, and Arron simultaneously. "Oh, before I forget. Me and Nick found one of the sirens, I don't know where she went but we invited her," said Jack. "Wow, that's definitely a surprise. If she becomes an ally she would do wonders for the group, or be an absolute menace. I would keep a close eye on her. I would also keep her and Mia away from each other. The last thing we need is for Mia to have another PTSD mental breakdown." said the angel. "So when should they meet?" asked Arron. "I don't know, my best guess is when they are ready. Which might be a while, especially for Mia." answered the angel.

After doing some training the boys went home. Nick smiled as he felt the taste of victory once again. Jack felt the desire to be stronger grow, he hated how he felt too weak and had to suppress the image of what Tina did to Mia. Arron felt relief as he could once again be a normal nerd.
