The following days at the manor were Charon's hours spent working at the computer terminals—due to the function of the silver mirror—she even brought in equipment from her Technocracy organization to handle the heavy lifting—analyzing each scene from the cryptic messages fed all around the world and developed during the time her father was unstable....
The Darkspade, on the other hand, was seen in the gym, and he was not alone- a projector above the ring, developed by Charon and her nanobot technology, simulated a physical wrestler opponent as practice. Pleased with this, The Darkspade was punching the lights out of the theoretical "NPC" and whipping it towards the rope to then glide forward at it with blinding speed - sending the NPC crashing down to the mat upon their collision with a reverse suplex!!! Thrilled with adrenaline, The Darkspade rose into position, sized the NPC up, and instantly sat it up into the dreaded FINAL GUIDANCE DRIVER!!! When the head met the mat, sending shock-waves through it.... the NPC dissolved as if Spade just swooned a notorious monster- The Unholy One leaped to his feet, readying for the program to develop another opponent. He screamed at the program..... "COMPUTER- INCREASE THE DIFFICULTY BEYOND 20...."

The lights flickered on and off- following a stinging, irritating, long-buzzzzzzzzzzzzz- the lights dropped!!! For awhile it felt as if Spade done did it again with blowing the fuse-- but from the darkness two deathly eyes stared right back at him..... the lights came back on- he was fact-to-face with his former mentor.... Lord Mortismere... was this real? The Unholy One gulped his saliva and they clashed.
After the brutal fight- The Unholy One rolls out of the ring and takes a deep long breath- looking back at the ring- the figure he fought also dissolved into nothingness- with a sigh, Darkspade commands the program to terminate...
Meanwhile
Charon's filter algorithm caught a hidden message at one of the scenes with Ricky Tenet- with a push of a button, Charon dissolved the erroneous overlapping wavelengths- a face emerged- a face familiar....
At that point, Spade comes barging into the room through the double-thick doors sweating from the odd encounter with the NPC "Mortismere".... Charon looks up at him- and back down at her monitor.....
Charon of Death: "Mate... come look at this...."
**Reluctantly Spade after throwing his towel down by a nearby stool approaches her- she shows him the feed and then
the filtered scene in isolation....**
The Darkspade: "Wha... what the is... this that.... no freak'n way.... what the fuck is she doing- but HOW?!"
Charon of Death: "Right. I do not have the foggiest- but what this means- she must had some way to interfere in this world."
[Charon turns around and yells at the Silver Mirror- the face present is seen sleeping.....]
Charon of Death: "SILVER MIRROR MATE.... I SAID....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMATTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEE WAKE UP!!!"
"ZZzzzzzz AHHHH WHO TH... OH... YOU. WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"
Charon of Death: "Tell me... who else entered through- well- you....."
**The Silver Mirror gave off a sign of confusion- even a wink as an chance at thinking Charon was talking about "something else"**
Sighing with displeasure and disappointment...
Charon of Death: "URGH. Now you tell me we have a perverted mirror as well- get your head well out of the frame- gutter- whatever it is you are- but did anyone else travel through the portal and into this world aside from Darkspade when he first came here?!"
**The Silver Mirror's eyebrows raised thinking about that....**
"Um. Not that I COULD tell- maybe a date with you might jog some memories!"
**Charon was half a second ready to throw a computer monitor at the the glass and break it when Darkspade interrupted....**
The Darkspade: ""I have a thought- a hunch really. Remember that Richard Arcane was gifted with powers of time and space- right? And since Hell Cat is in cahoots with him, would that be a connection? He managed to create a portal on the moon and mess up a whole year for us- could he also have the means to do the same thing, accessing this world? Like I said- just thought!!
**Charon rubs her chin- impressed**
Charon of Death: "No. GREAT Dad! It's possible, I would assume, but he also lost those powers when Angel died. I guess it doesn't matter presently- unless- Hell Cat still can influence this world- there is growing evidence that tampering was conducted on the mirror and here- and to yourself."
The Darkspade: "What do you think the next step would be?
Charon of Death: "Hm. A few things- I am thinking of venturing out into the city- ask around- specifically with other SHOOT wrestlers- we cannot rule out the possibility that a SHOOT wrestler was ALSO involved in this---"
**Darkspade showed a sign of worry**
Charon of Death: "Dad- anything on your mind you want to get out?"
The Darkspade: "Well. It was the oddest thing- but- when I tried out the new training program and when I asked the system to exceed safety parameters- it developed Lord Mortismere as my opponent....
Charon of Death: "Urgh Bollocks! Dad-- that's what happens when you push yourself too far- So... Lord Mortismere- well- I did not program that NPC at ALL in the system- interesting- could there be a neuropathic connection present still with this system.... thanks for telling me... I'll look into it but you should get some rest- in a few weeks we have a job to do- a tag team match with Fear and Loathing..."
**The adrenline surged through his entire body just THINKING about the mindgames to come!!!**
The Darkspade: "OHHHHH. Yes..... I love their names too- heh....
**Charon rose from her seat- also causing the Silver Mirror to show a sign of hesitation- maybe a vase is coming its way**
Charon of Death: "Right. Well- mate. I am off to look for more clues with the roster... maybe I'll start with our previous opponents- The Punchies... they seemed to be an interesting lot they may know something- wish me luck!!"
Darkspade was too busy contemplating his next steps against his new opponents to take notice as Charon said anything, and even when she exited the server room...
