This is a major turning point in everyone's life, especially Eli's.
Several months ago, Eli's mother and two older brothers were mysteriously brought back to life. At first Eli was gunshy of their presence around her. "We've changed!" they pleaded. "We'll never hurt you, not ever again!" they swore.
After a week of constant persuation and promises; Eli moved into the house with her mother, Kira, and her two older brothers, Icer and Frost. And again after three weeks, Kira brought home her boyfriend; Brutis.
Eli didn't like this guy, she expressed this a lot; not too many of her friends paid close attention to this, though. After all; Eli didn't like strangers.

This marks the beginging of the end. The Z warriors have seen their share of gore and viciousness in their lives, but they've all lived somewhat naively in their own worlds with one another. This marks the beginging of the end for this naivity, the end of their rose-colored glasses.
