Panel 1
(Exterior shot of Noceda-Blight's house)
Milan (from inside): Your mom didn't say you would lose, Ayzee.

Panel 2
(Inside Ayzee's bedroom. Milan is sitting while Ayzee is changing behind a screen)
Ayzee (from behind screen): You know what she could have said?

Panel 3
Ayzee (imitating Amity, with unconcerned hand wave): "Oh, Milan, you will do just fine!"

Panel 4
Ayzee (imitating Amity, with big eyes): "Wish it were my daughter, though, she would kick its butt with ease!"

Panel 5
Ayzee (with an irritated look, moving her hand like a mouth): Instead of, "Oh my Titan you are a much better choice! You are perfect! Only you can do this, blahblahblah-"

Panel 1
(Milan is leaning on a chest. Ori is sleeping on Ayzee's bed in the background)
Milan: She was trying to give me some courage, ya know.
Milan: Besides, it's in a parent's nature to worry about their child fighting a monster.

Panel 2
(Ayzee is looking pensive behind the screen, holding her outfit)
Milan (from outside screen): Listen, Ayzee, I have a bad feeling about this whole thing.

Panel 3
Milan: Maybe just... let Mr. Ironguts handle it, please?

Image 3

Panel 1
Ayzee (deadpan, peering over screen): Nah I think you are perfect for the task.
Milan: Oh, come on!

Panel 2
Ayzee (off-panel, to an annoyed Milan): Look, I'm fighting that thing. Let's change the subject, Okay?

Panel 3
Milan (pleading): Nooo, we need to figure out Grom's weaknesses and we only have two hours!

Panel 4
(The echo mouse is on a desktop near some books. It perks up)

Panel 1
Milan (off-panel, scratching the echo mouse's back): Hey, buddy...

Panel 2
(The echo mouse's eyes light up and it begins projecting something)
Milan (off-panel): Woah!

Panel 3
(Milan is looking at a projected image. Currently there is just an empty frame. Distorted text boxes show narration, which appear garbled)

...after [BZZZZ] research...

Panel 4
(The projected image appears to be a distorted figure of a person)

...Grometheus [BZZZZ]

killable [BZZZZ]

Panel 1
Ayzee (with the screen behind her, talking out): Was that the echo mouse?
            Yeah it glitches out like that when it doesn't finish the whole book.

Panel 2
(The echo mouse is scratching its ear)

Panel 3
Milan (focused): I think it mentioned Grom!

Panel 4
Ayzee (from behind the screen): That was Philip's journal from the library.
            I didn't hear it, though. You were probably hearing things.

Panel 5
Milan: But-
Ayzee (off-panel): Nope, not talking about the fight anymore.

Panel 6
(Milan is considering something)

Image 6

Panel 1
Ayzee (from behind the screen): Almost- annnnnd done!

Panel 2
(Ayzee stands proudly, dressed in a fancy outfit with shoulder guards and a cape)
Ayzee: What do you think? Or should I stick to my regular-

Panel 3
Ayzee (realizing the room is empty): ...
            Milan?

Panel 4
(Milan stands in the library with a determined look on her face, holding the echo mouse up in one hand)

Panel 5
(From behind Milan, we see her looking up at a large set of doors with a big sign labeling FORBIDDEN STACKS)

Panel 1
(We see shadowy images as if projected onto a screen. The first image is several humanoid figures holding up swords. Amity is narrarating)
Amity (V.O.): Before the Deadwardian Era, piracy was a serious threat to the people of Bonesborough.

Panel 2
(Shadowy image of a pirate ship)
Amity (V.O.): During a particularly huge attack on the town,

Panel 3
(Shadowy image of a large formless monster with several figures running away from it)
Amity (V.O.): The pirates had attracted the attention of Grometheus, a monster that brought out their greatest fear.

Amity: What happened next was kinda vague, but...

Amity (off-panel, to an attentive Milan): After the pirates were gone,
            the Fear Bringer terrorized the town,

Panel 2
(Closeup on Milan sitting on her seat. We can see concealed behind her is a lit-up scroll)

Panel 3
(Ayzee and Edric are outside, eavesdropping by listening on Ayzee's scroll)

Panel 4
(Shadowy image of Grom with an open mouth, and a figure in between its jaws)
Amity (V.O.): Evidently it ate one of the town folks.

Panel 5
(Shadowy image of Grom, with several arrows in it, being chased by a crowd with torches)
Amity (V.O.): Then it was driven back into the wild.

Panel 6
Amity: And that, was the earliest, and probably the only record of Grometheus.

Panel 7
Amity (off-panel, to an attentive Milan): Until it was discovered later under Hexside.

Panel 8
Milan (confused): Wait, that's it?

Image 3

Panel 1
Milan (to a dubious Amity): What about its weakness? Or how to negate its power-

Panel 2
Amity (sighing): So, they got a student to do their dirty work, am I right?

Panel 3
Milan (startled): What?!
Amity (off-panel): Who's fighting Grom this time?

Panel 4
(Ayzee and Edric are listening in. Ayzee is terrified)
Edric: You're doomed.

Panel 4
Milan (shocked): Huh?!
Amity: I'm glad it's you, honestly.

Panel 5
Amity (off-panel, to a distressed Milan): You have nothing to worry about, then.
            You are a brave and strong witch. Grom has got nothing on you.
            You are perfect for the task.

Panel 6
(Ayzee and Edric are wide eyed and stunned)

Panel 7
(Ayzee has a plaintive look on her face. Edric is scooting away from her)

Panel 1
(An older Edric Blight is addressing Milan and Ayzee, who are looking attentively. Milan is holding a book)
Edric: So let me get this straight.

Panel 2
Edric (looking slightly exasperated): You need my help to conquer your fears.
            Because you chose to fight Grometheus on purpose...

Panel 3
Edric: Despite having zero real fighting experience?

Panel 4
Ayzee (chagrined): Yeah?

Panel 5
Edric (looking offended): You are incredibly reckless and irresponsible!!

Image 2

Panel 1
Edric (delighted): Just like me!
Ayzee: ...

Panel 2
Edric (proud): Well, I'm the right guy for the job.

Panel 3
Edric: Now. Tell me your greatest fears.

Panel 5
Ayzee (nonchalant): I am a bit scared of darkness, but-
Ayzee (shrugs): Meh.

(Edric points his thumb towards Ayzee, who is screaming and running away from the browser illusion)
Illusion: Microtransactions in CQ4?

Panel 3

Panel 3
Ayzee (embarassed): [SIGH] I- Um...

Panel 4
Ayzee (brushing it off): Look, I just want to help Mr. Ironguts.

Ayzee: What!?
Ayzee: I- I didn't even know they fought Grom before! I-

Panel 4
Ayzee (abashed): ...yes.
(Ori reaches out towards the butterfly as it passes. This is not in any way relevant to the story but it's cute)

Panel 5
Milan: Ayzee, I'm not letting you fight that thing.

Second part of the fan comic. The horrible screeching continues as Luz tried to protect herself by putting her arms in front of her. Some tears are appearing in the corners of her eyes. It cuts to complete black, as only a white outline of Luz bracing herself for the impact is visible, some tears flying out.
