### **I. The War Council in Grandma Ama's Living Room**
**Location:** A brownstone in Harlem where the walls bled **Adinkra symbols** and the TV played **18 simultaneous news channels from different realms**
The **Six Scorpio Kings** sat uncomfortably on plastic-covered furniture while Adjo's **child army**-the Harlem Hellions-served **pepper soup laced with astral-enhancing scorpion venom**.

1. **Adjo "Uncollectable" Mensah** - Our protagonist, **venom dripping from his gold-veined knuckles**
2. **Cyber-Osagyefo** - His **cybernetic left eye** projected a hologram of the target
3. **Poison-Mother** - Fed **karmic poison** to a captured **Consortium angel** (it coughed up **stock market predictions**)
4. **Gold-Eye** - Now **blind but all-seeing**, her empty sockets **streamed interdimensional CCTV footage**

### **III. Realm #7.5 - The Liminal Bank**
**Description:**
- A **infinite DMV office** with **floating teller cages**

- The walls were **living contracts** that **rewrote themselves** to trap thieves
**The Plan:**
1. **Gold-Eye's Vision**
- She **plucked a hair**, letting it float toward the **vault's heartbeat**
- *"Follow the suffering. It's louder here."*
2. **The Harlem Hellions' Diversion**
- The kids **played hopscotch with cursed chalk**, creating a **dimensional fault line**
- When Repo-Men approached, the children **lied about their ages**-**confusing the entities** (who couldn't process **"I'm 12 and a half"**)
3. **Adjo's Break-In**
- He **spat venom** on the vault's lock, which **melted into a sobbing face**
- Inside: **Soul vials arranged like a wine cellar**, each labeled with a **human name and debt amount**

### **IV. The Betrayal & Revelation**
### **The Trap:**
The vault was **a living entity**-the **first Scorpio King ever captured** (from **Realm #-1**). It whispered:

### **The Consortium's Response:**
- **Eternal True God #12** manifested as a **700-foot-tall IRS agent**
- His **audit beam** began **erasing the children's futures**

- **His father's ghost** (now a **chain-smoking wraith**)
- **Grandma Ama's dream-self** (riding a **huge spectral scorpion**)
- Together, they **sang an Ashanti war hymn** that:
- **Shattered the audit beam**
- **Turned the vault's tears into liquid rebellion**
---
### **V. The Escape & Consequences**
### **The Getaway:**
Poison-Mother** sacrificed **three fingers** to brew a **reality-hopping tea**
Cyber-Osagyefo** uploaded the **soul vials** into **Tamagotchis** (to hide them)
The **Harlem Hellions** escaped by **jump-roping** into a **commercial break** on a **Brazilian soap opera**
### **The Cost:**
- **Gold-Eye's blindness worsened** (she now saw **only debts**)
- **Adjo's venom turned blue** (a sign of **cosmic contamination**)
- **One child** (Little Kwame) was **left behind**-**recruited by the Repo-Men**

**Silk Scorpion's Warning:**
*"The Consortium will *repossess time itself* to stop us now."*
**Adjo's Vow:**

Somewhere in Realm #-1, **Little Kwame** picked up a **Foreclosure Gun**..
The Harlem Hellions**: Prove **children** are the ultimate **reality-warriors**

Adjo's Evolving Powers**: His venom now **carries memories**
