Later in the evening evening, Raven and Kajor go out to an Amusement Park, for a night of fun.
"This place is rather, colorful..." compliments Kajor.
"It's Miami, everything here is colorful and vibrant." retorts Raven. Raven and Kajor then take a seat on a bench, while looking at the giant Ferris Wheel.
"That round shaped object? What is it?" Wonders Kajor.
"Oh that? It's called a Ferris Wheel." replies Raven.
"Hmmm... Interesting," remarks Kajor.
"So, this is a place where people come to have fun?" asks Kajor.
"Yeah, it's where citizens can connect with the people that they care for." explains Raven.
"So, you brought me out here, to connect with me?" questions Kajor.
"More or less, I used to do this with my father, we would always go out to parks like these, back when I was little." Raven reflects.
"Before, your life was turned upside down." Kajor adds.
"Yeah, funny how life turns out huh?" asks Raven.
"Well, I look at it as a learning curve, just because you have had a bad upcoming, doesn't mean you cannot be optimistic." says Kajor.
"That's a positive outlook on life." retorts Raven.
"I don't know much about this world, even though I studied it. But I am willing to learn about it." says Kajor.
"Well, let me give you your first lesson." Raven then takes Kajor, over to a target game.
"This is a game, it's called Target Practice." Raven reveals to Kajor.
"Does this have something to do with shooting something?" Kajor asks.
"Yes, you do know how to fire a gun, right?" wonders Raven.
"Yes I do, I once fought in the civil war." Kajor reveals to a shocked Raven.
"What?! You fought in the civil war?" questions Raven.
"Indeed, I was the only Elemental to do so." confirms Kajor.
"That's amazing! Thank you for your service!" Raven says, expressing her gratitude.
"So, how does this game work?" asks Kajor.
"Well, you just aim at a target, and you fire. If you hit the most targets, you get a prize." says Raven.
"Okay." says Kajor. Kajor then sees that the targets begin to move, but he manages to hit every single one of them without breaking a sweat.
"Nice!" compliments Raven.
"All right then, you try it." Kajor challenges Raven.
"Oh, I'm sorry Kajor, I'm not as good as you, when it comes to nailing targets." says Raven.
"Don't worry, just think of this as training, I'll guide you."Kajor gives Raven the pellet guns, and he shows her how to stay calm under pressure.
"When you aim at your target, stay steady, be as calm as the wind, and don't breathe." Kajor tells her. Raven fires the pellet gun and she takes out every moving target, in complete succession.
"Not bad, for a Water Elemental!" says Raven.
"Ahhhh... Beginners Luck." Kajor says sarcastically. Raven laughs and they go towards the Ferris Wheel. While on the Ferris Wheel, Raven and Kajor engage in a deep conversation.
"Kajor, did your mother believe in peace between, Humans and Elementals?" asks Raven.
"My mother believed in many things, what you just mentioned is one of them," Kajor reveals, looking at the stars above.
"What was she like?" asks Raven.
"She was a strong willed woman, willing to die for what she believed in." Kajor answers.
"Your mother must have been a good woman." Raven nods at him.
"She was pure of heart, but most of all, she loved me... I owe it to her, to fight for this world, and all that walk it. It won't be easy, but eventually, we will be able to stand with humans in peace." Kajor tells her.
"You won't be alone. Although I am a little skeptical about humans, I am willing to give this a shot." Raven admits, watching the people down below. Suddenly, Kajor then hears someone scream, it was the scream of a woman.
"Kajor, what is it?" asks Raven.
"Someone's in trouble!" Kajor replies.
"Kajor wait..." Kajor then teleports away, leaving Raven on the Ferris Wheel.
"Son of a..." she exclaims, jumping off of the Ferris Wheel, the moment it is done rotating. In a dark corner of the Amusement Park, a woman is seen getting mugged. Kajor then appears before the mugger.
"You may want to leave the woman be." Kajor distorts his voice as he speaks to the mugger. The mugger looks at him, mesmerized by the black aura around Kajor's body.
"What are you going to do, if I don't?" The mugger asks, while taking out his switchblade.
"You don't want to find out..." The mugger tries to stab Kajor, but Kajor grabs his wrist and he snaps it. As the mugger screams in painful agony, Kajor hits him in the nose with a knee, knocking him unconscious. Kajor goes over to the victim and he hands her the purse that the mugger took.
"Are you okay?" he asks her.
"Yes, thank you for saving me... Whoever you are." the woman replies, taking deep breaths. As soon as she goes over to thank Kajor, he blinds her with light and teleports away, mesmerizing the woman. While Raven searches the Amusement Park for Kajor, she spots him buying cotton candy for them both at a concession stand.
"What the hell Kajor?" Raven shouts, after looking all over the place for him.
"What? It's just cotton candy." Kajor answers, while eating a small piece of purple and yellow cotton candy, fused together.
"What did you do?" Raven questions him.
"Oh, this is about when I teleported away. I stopped a woman from getting mugged." Kajor nonchalantly answers.
"Why did you do that, she could expose you as an Elemental!" Raven criticises Kajor's brash decision.
"Well, you would be happy to know, that I erased her memory, right before I teleported away," Kajor confesses, eating another piece of his cotton candy.
"And just how did you do that?" Asks Raven.
"It's one the abilities of a Light Elemental, which I am. I focus my aura into my hand, letting forth a small burst of light. Upon looking at the Light, the woman will have a case of blockage in her memory." Kajor explains.
"So, she doesn't remember anything?" asks Raven.
"Well, she won't remember me, but she will remember being saved from that mugger." says Kajor.
"Damn, you're good!" Raven compliments.
"I know the risk to us Elementals, in time, we will be at peace with humans, but if I see someone in trouble, I can't ignore it." Raven nods at Kajor, signaling that she understands. Kajor then hands her a bag of blue cotton candy, as a sign of apologizing.
"Thank you, let's go home, it's getting late." Raven suggets.
"Okay, will do Madame." Kajor wisecracks.
"Not funny dude!" Raven laughs. While Kajor and Raven make their way back to the Penthouse, they stop in the middle of the street, and they see the night sky.
"It's beautiful out here, the night sky, I rarely ever get to see one like this," Kajor admires the view of the night sky; the glow of the moon hitting his eyes.
"Why? What was it like? Back then?" asks Raven.
"It was always grim, bleak, empty. The only thing that made the world a little bit brighter, was the optimism of my mom. I guess you can say, it just passed on to me." Kajor says.
"Well, the only memory of my mother, that I remember, was her beating me, and abusing me, but my father, those are the memories I hold on to." Raven looks at the stars, remembering her father.
"That must have been hard for you." Kajor sympathizes.
"Yeah, it has been. But, ever since I met Master Yuki, I've never looked back. We may have lost both of our pasts, but it helped us prepare for a brighter future." Raven smiles.
"I'm not sure what that future is, but I have this feeling that, we will be accepted one day." Kajor optimizes, while smiling back at Raven. In the night sky, a Coment is seen flying slowly through space, Raven and Kajor take notice, being astonished by it's power.
"Beautiful..." Raven whispers, as she holds Kajor's hand. Kajor looks at Raven with a confused expression, while Raven does the same.
"Um... We should get back home." says Kajor.
"Yeah, we should." Raven agrees. Raven and Kajor continue their walk back home to the Penthouse, amongst the busy streets of Miami.

Meanwhile, near the city of Miami, The Unknown Hooded individuals walk towards a museum.
"Take what we came for, leave no humans surviving." orders one of the hooded individuals. The hooded people, then walk up to a Security Guard, who tries to stop them, but one of the hooded individuals, takes out a sword, and stabs the Security Guard. The hooded individuals then wander around the museum, until they find a pile of bones, inside of a glass display.
"Bingo..." says one of the mysterious hooded figures.
The hooded figure with the Samurai Sword, breaks the glass, by simply slicing it in half. The hooded individuals then teleport out of the museum, with the bones in their possession. Moments later, in a park near the city, the hooded individuals then place the bones on to the ground.
"Now, once I resurrect this beast, the Covenant will be complete." says the hooded figure.
"What are these bones?" asks a hooded individual.
"They are the bones, of a demon, it's name is Mammar. A fire demon, full of unquenchable rage." says The Hooded Individual. The hooded individual begins to chant in another language, causing a dark arua to surround him. He surrounds the remains of Mammar, in a shroud of black fog. Another Hooded individual covers the shroud in flames by lighting a match. The carcus screams in pained agony, as he comes back to life.
"Where am I ?" says Mammar.
"You are here in the present day. I have revived you to serve us, welcome to our brotherhood, The Covenant of Sins, I notice that you want revenge, against a certain Elemental."
Mammar mutters a certain name to himself; "Kajor..." The hooded man extends his hand out to the demon, in a gesture of acceptance over a common enemy.
"You will get your Revenge, I will guarantee it." vows the hooded Man.
"Who are you?" asks Mammar.
"You may call me, Leon Delgado." the hodded man reveals himself to the demon.
