Me and Tara returned to the sanctuary and informed Harper and Stephon about our victory today on taking down three demons. We told them that this was a big step forward in our war against the demons. Harper congratulated us, and Stephon gave me a brofist. Harper asked if we used any artifacts to help us defeat them. I told her that the only weapons we used were our regular weapons. Tara gave the artifact sword to Genevieve and went back to using her greatsword. Harper was quite impressed that we defeated the demons with regular weapons. Although we defeated the three demons with our regular weapons, me and Tara will still need to get those artifacts from the vaults. Who knows what other kinds of demons we'll have to face. Clearly, there will be more powerful demons we'll have to defeat, and those artifacts from the vaults and the dark dimensional tower will be helpful to us in our war against the demons.

Event:
Me and Tara are still in the sanctuary talking to Harper and Stephon about our victory against the demons. Suddenly, the ground shakes with the sound of an earthquake. Genevieve comes running into the sanctuary. She tells us that we need to go outside right away. She tells us that we need to see something and that we're all in grave trouble. The ground shakes again with the sound of an earthquake.
We all follow Genevieve outside of the sanctuary. The sky is dark orange. A loud and deep roar pierces through the sky. The ground shakes again with the sound of an earthquake. I look into the distance. I see it. It's the demon as tall as the sky that holds a sword of fire. I knew it was inevitable. It has come to kill me and burn British Columbia to ash. A vortex must have brought it here.
Harper tells all of us to get into the sanctuary. Me and Tara refuse to leave her alone. We stay outside and instruct everyone else to listen to her. The ground shakes again with the sound of an earthquake. The demon lets out another deep roar that pierces through the sky. It sees us. It raises its sword of fire into the sky.
Suddenly, there's a black hole forming over the demon. It's Harper. She's using her gift of time to try and pull the demon into it. She's struggling. The demon is just too powerful and enormous. I stand beside Harper and start focusing on the gift of time. It's working. I'm lending her my strength. The black hole in the sky is getting larger and more powerful. The demon lets out another deep roar. The black hole pulls the demon into it and vanishes. Harper collapses to the ground.
Me and Tara take Harper into the sanctuary. We inform everyone about what happened. Harper tells us that she'll be fine. She says that she just needs some rest. Stephon takes Harper to the bench. He comforts her while she tries to get some rest.

Conversation:
Richard: How are you feeling, Harper?
Harper: After that nice long sleep, I'm feeling much better. Creating such a large and powerful black hole to pull that demon through it completely drained me. Thank you for lending me your strength to help me finish the black hole.
Richard: No need to thank me, Harper. If it weren't for you, I don't think any of us would be here right now.
Tara: You saved us and British Columbia, Harper.
Harper: Sadly, it's not over yet. Pulling that demon into a black hole was only a temporary solution.
Conversation:
Harper: Unfortunately, we're in no better situation, especially you, Richard. Just like the British Columbia we are in now, whatever happens in that other dimension of British Columbia could affect the past, present, and future which could have grave consequences.
Tara: What should we do?
Harper: You two will have to defeat the demon before it puts an end to both of you and destroys British Columbia. I will create a portal that will bring you to the dimension of British Columbia where the demon now resides.
Richard: How are we supposed to defeat something so colossal and powerful? It just seems hopeless.
Harper: Tara is a demon slayer. She has the gift to put an end to any demon. She will have to learn how to master her gift, and you will have to help her.
Tara: Well, let's get going then. We have no time to waste.
Harper: I will create a portal immediately. Let's go to the second floor of the sanctuary.
