Chapter 38

  Far away from where the battle is taking pce, Rei wakes up from being unconscious. The tranquilizer dart made her body feel weak and then she finds herself in an unusual position. She is in an abandoned house all alone and then she finds herself being trapped on a table. Her arms and legs are strapped with a magic seal, and she is unable to break free.

  "H-huh?! What is this?!" Rei said panicking a bit as she appears to be stuck.

  "Ahhh, you're awake!"

  Rei hears someone inside and there she sees Bck Death entering the room. The Necromutant sees her captive and she smiled to see that she brought her here.

  "I see that you're awake my darling." Bck Death said to her.

  "What the?" Rei said, seeing the Necromutant at a distance.

  "Isn't it nice to have you here at my presence?" Bck Death asked her. "I am sooooo amused to spend quality time with you."

  "What do you want?" Rei asked her.

  Bck Death says nothing as she walks up to where Rei is. The Necromutant looks at her as her eyes glued on the tomboyish girl. Rei looks at her in the eyes as she can see what she's up to.

  "What do I want?" Bck Death asked. "Simple!"

  Before Rei could say anything, the Necromutant moves in close to Rei in her face. Then, she decides to blow some air into her captive's face, which is a form of pixie dust. Rei feels the dust in her face as it enters into her nostrils, inhaling the chemicals that went inside her body. From just one inhation, Rei finds herself in a trance. Her thoughts disrupted as her eyes went dim and loses control of herself.

  "Hey..." Bck Death calls to Rei to get her attention.

  Hearing the Necromutant made Rei look up to her.

  "Oooh, my voice is calling out to me." Bck Death said. "I'm pleased that you have fallen for my charm. Is that right?"

  Rei nodded.

  "Good." Bck Death said. "With my charm, I have you under my spell. You will fall for me and only me no matter what. You, my darling, fell right for my trap and you will serve to me as your captor."

  Rei looks into the Necromutant's eyes and nodded. Bck Death holds her face with both hands and gaze into her eyes. She climbs on top of the table and sits on her waist.

  "No need to worry darling..." Bck Death said. "Everything will be all right as long as you're with me. I just feel the need to spend the moment with you while your allies are dying out there."

  Rei has her mouth open as she is wordless due to the charm.

  "Now...give me some sugar." Bck Death said.

  The Necromutant moves in to kiss Rei on the lips.

  Back at the fight, Shokei and her party are running from Asmoday. The party takes cover as the head of the demon in the middle breathes fire. The ruined city went up in fmes as they are running away from the monster's scorching heat. Everyone is finding some way into fighting against the monster, but it was impossible to y a hand on Asmoday. The demonic monster is too powerful for the party.

  "Quick! Up the stairs!!" Shokei shouted out to everyone.

  Asmoday sees the party is running up towards the stairs and they are making a dash to a small building. Shokei turns to see that the demon has his eyes locked on them and the demon is about to use his nce against the party. The party reaches to the top of the building, and everyone looks to see that the demon is about to use his nce against them.

  "Oh no! What do we do?!" Naoko asked.

  "Hurry! We need to leap to the next building while we can!" Shokei tells everyone.

  Shokei and her party did as they all leaped from the building in time to nd on the next side. The party got away as Asmoday strikes its nce on the building, destroying it completely.

  The party continues to get away from the powerful demon. Part of Thygya is in chaos as most of the buildings are already on fire. Asmoday still remains strong as it still stands a feet distance away from where Shokei and her party are standing. The party stands on just one building that's not completely destroyed. The demon is in the air at a distance.

  "This is impossible!" Shokei said. "How in the hell do we defeat this?"

  "Is there any other way to fight this creep?!" Tamiko asked.

  "My magic is no good to fight this monster." Sadako said. "It's too powerful."

  From the look of the situation, Shokei and her party can see that they are about to meet their fate's end as the demon is ready to finish them off.

  Just then, out of the skies, a shooting star figure has appeared out of nowhere and nds on top of the building. The party can see that a white light is touching down and then a figure appeared right in front of them.

  "Who...who's that?!" Beatrice asked.

  "What the?" Saeko said, staring at the unknown figure.

  The party sees a mysterious person in a while outfit. His appearance is carrying a very big sword that is green and made out of crystals.

  "Who is this?" Shokei asked. "Where...did he come from?"

  Asmoday turns to see a new challenger that have enter the fight. The mysterious person has the giant sword in his hand and in a quick movement, the figure rushes up and heads for the dragon. The figure made a rush attack and nails the dragon some damage. The monster cries out in pain as it felt the scar on the side of its body.

  "Woah!" Saeko said, surprised by the outcome.

  "Wait a minute!" Shokei said, looking around. "There's someone else over there!"

  The party turns to see that there is another person in the scene. Standing on another building appears to be in a figure in silk clothing. Shokei gets a better look and tries to get a good look of the unknown warrior at a distance. The figure extends and casts out a spell. Suddenly, the spell generates a glow and shoots out a wavy beam of light towards the enemy. Asmoday got struck with the beam and gradually takes some damage by the beam.

  "Wow!" Sadako said, amused by the action.

  "Amazing..." Saeko said.

  "Who are these guys?" Kichiro asked.

  "Not so sure, but they seem to be helping us out." Shokei said.

  The party looks at the amazement of the fight as they can see that the unknown forces are working together into defeating the demon.

  As the fight against Asmoday rages on, Bck Death is still having her affair with Rei at the moment. She and Rei are kissing as they are making out passionately. Rei, still under the Necromutant's influence, is forced into making love with the enemy.

  "Mmm, this is love-ly!" Bck Death said in a whisper.

  The Necromutant licks around her captive's face as Rei feels the tongue of the enemy touching her.

  "Oh, my dear Rei..." The Necromutant continued. "I never thought I had an infatuation for you. From what I have seen and heard about your actions; you are different from the rest. I never thought I had admired a strong being you really are. I am indeed touched by your looks and beauty. You are too hard to resist for me."

  Together, Rei and Bck Death made a few more kisses. Then, the Necromutant breathes into Rei as she is aroused and then goes right up to her ear.

  "Listen to me carefully," Bck Death said in a whisper. "I have a purpose for following you and your friends. I am told to keep up with that Emissary of Light to watch her possess the gems that she is bound to collect. When she does, I will kill her for the eight gems. With those gems, Du-Mek will be immortal, and nothing can withstand anything by the power of those gems. We, residents of Du-Mek, will be the only surviving pnet and all other pnets won't exist as we seal the entire gaxy in darkness."

  Rei listens to her but was not able to focus as the spell clouds up her thoughts. Bck Death smiles at her until...

  "Rei!" A voice calls out to her. "Rei!! Where are you?!"

  "Huh?!"

  Bck Death's thoughts are interrupted. She hears the voice of Marie calling out to her. Not pleased to hear someone is looking out for her, she gets angry.

  "Who the hell dares ruin my moment with my darling?!" Bck Death asked. "I'll see who it is that is coming here."

  Bck Death teleports and then reappears to see two of Shokei's party members are there, looking for Rei. Marie and Obsidian are scouting the area to look for their missing ally.

  "Hey!" Bck Death calls out to them.

  "Hmm?!" Marie turns around and sees the Necromutant in the air.

  "I bet you're looking for Rei, aren't you?" Bck Death asked.

  "We definitely are!" Marie shouted out to her. "And I bet you're the one who kidnapped her!"

  "Kidnapped?" Bck Death asked, raising an eyebrow. "I wouldn't exactly call it a kidnapping."

  "What did you do to her?" Obsidian asked. "We demand to know!"

  "Let's say that she's been held up at the moment." Bck Death said as she generates a spell. "But enough talk! Come at me!"

  Bck Death unleashes her spell and hurls a dark fireball. Marie and Obsidian jumps away from the attack and then both went into battle against the Necromutant.

  Back at the fight scene, Shokei and her party are watching the two mysterious warriors fighting against the huge demon, Asmoday. The warrior in the white outfit is pulling off sword stylish techniques with the use of his crystal sword as it is going right up the demon. The warrior in a bck outfit continues to weakness the demon with her powerful beam projectiles. Shokei is in amazement as she sees the warrior in white is dealing serious damage against Asmoday. She sees him damaging the demon with every hit he can nail around the demon. The dragon that Asmoday is sitting on lies dead as it suffered great damage.

  "Hey! Look over there!" Saeko pointed out to the party.

  Just then, the party can see another star that is falling down front he sky to where Thygya is, and the star nded on top of another building. The party sees that there appears to be a figure in a red dress with golden wings and has roses on her head, almost representing an angel. Then, another figure swooped down as it stands next to the woman. It's appearance is a cute girl with a cute dress and holds a blue teddy bear in her hand.

  "There are more of them?!" Sadako asked.

  The woman in the red dress casts a spell. Then, a big meteor targets downward to the demon. The warrior in the white outfit moves out of the way once the spell has been cast. The meteor smmed down on Asmoday and the spell kills off the demon with a heavy blow. The meteor completely kills Asmoday as its entire body has been destroyed. The effect of the meteor did do a scorching crash in the city of Thygya.

  "Oh no!" Shokei panicked, seeing the explosion.

  "Nooooo!!!" Beatrice said, covering her face.

  The party brace themselves for the explosion that is occurring in front of them. The explosion, however, did not succumb into their deaths. Shokei uncovers herself to see that the girl with the teddy bear is extending her hand out to the air and protects the party with a protective force field.

  "Hey! We're still alive!" Shokei said to the party.

  "Really?" Saeko asked. "Whew! I thought we were done for!"

  "Seems that young girl saved all of us from getting wiped out." Kichiro pointed out.

  "The demon...its gone." Mizuki said, looking back at the area.

  Shokei and her party looks back to see that Asmoday is no more. The party can see that the unknown warriors regroup back together with the girl and her teddy bear. The four warriors stand there as they see Shokei and her party.

  "Ummm..." Saeko tries to find some words, but simply said. "Thanks."

  "Thank you for saving us...but, who are you guys?" Shokei asked them.

  The unknown warriors did not say anything in response. Then, the young girl flies up in the air to nd on a small crescent moon that flew towards her. The other three warriors leave the area as they head back up to the skies. The girl, flying on the crescent moon made a recovery spell as she made the bzing fires vanish and the ruined city is back to normal.

  Meanwhile, Marie and Obsidian were fighting against the Necromutant, Bck Death, in a two versus one battle. The fight against the Necromutant became tough for the pair as Bck Death's powerful dark spells were hard to get around. Suddenly, Bck Death came to a pause and then she hears that the sounds of her demon were no longer in present.

  "Huh?!" Bck Death said. "Asmoday has taken the fall?! No way!"

  Marie and Obsidian waits for the next move in case of anything.

  "That's impossible!" Bck Death compined. "How in the world did Shokei and her insects have survived that monster?!"

  "Give it up!" Obsidian said to her. "Your threat won't cause a disturbance against us!"

  "Ahh forget it!" The Necromutant said. "You can have your Rei back!"

  Bck Death made Rei appear in front of Marie and Obsidian. Rei is still sleeping as she is rested on the ground floor.

  "Don't think that you have seen the st of me!" Bck Death said to them. "I swear I'll have my revenge on you all next time!"

  Bck Death snaps her fingers and vanishes from the scene.

  Once the Necromutant has left, Marie and Obsidian goes over to check on Rei.

  "Rei! Rei!!" Marie calls out to her, trying to wake her up. "Oh Rei, please wake up!"

  Rei regains consciousness as she wakes up from a trance. The spell that the Necromutant cast on her is no longer in effect.

  "Wh...what...what just happened..." Rei asked as she opens her eyes to see Marie.

  "Rei!!" Marie said as she is pleased to see that she is alive. "Ohhhh, I'm gd that you're ok."

  "Marie..." Rei said, feeling the hug from her halfling ally.

  "Rei...I'm happy that you are safe." Obsidian said to her. "The party was worried about you."

  "Oh man...something happened to me..." Rei said, getting her thoughts together.

  "Do you recall what happened to you?" Marie asked her. "What did that Necromutant did to you?"

  "I...I don't remember." Rei replied. "I remember getting stung by some tranquilizer...and then I remember being trapped on a table in some binding spell..."

  "What did she do to you?" Marie asked. "Please, tell me."

  "I...I..." Rei tries to remember. Unfortunately, she shakes her head. "I don't remember at all..."

  "Awww..." Marie said in disappointment. "That vileness must have done something nasty to you. I bet!"

  "Either way, I'm still all right." Rei said to her. "What about Shokei? What about the others?"

  "Everyone is fine." Obsidian responded. "Shokei is worried about you."

  "She did?" Rei asked. "Then, I need to see her. I need to see everyone."

  "Oh yeah, we also found the chemist too." Marie reminded her.

  "That's great to hear." Rei said. "We should meet up with the party."

  "Yes. Let's return back to them." Obsidian said.

  Rei, along with Marie and Obsidian, leaves the scene to return back to their party.

  After the disastrous situation against the demon, Shokei and her party are now walking in Thygya. The Ruined City of Thygya is back to its normal state in ruined form.

  "Who are those guys?" Tamiko asked.

  "No idea, but whoever they are, they saved us." Shokei said to her.

  "They were amazing." Sadako said. "It's like they came out of nowhere in time to save all of us."

  "Their outfits look legendary." Kichiro said. "I don't know if Nobuatsu would know anything about this."

  "Speaking of all things, we should look out for Rei." Shokei said to everyone. "I know Marie and Obsidian are searching for her."

  "I hope Rei is all right." Saeko said. "It would be devastating if she died in some tragic fate."

  "We're baaaaaaack!!"

  The party hears Marie calling out to them. Shokei can see that Marie and Obsidian are returning and there she sees Rei reuniting back to the party.

  "Rei!!" Shokei said, feeling gd to see her return.

  "Yay!" Saeko said. "She's still alive! Thank Almighty!"

  Rei returns to the group as she has a bnk look on her face.

  "Rei...are you ok?" Shokei asked her.

  "I'm fine." Rei said, blinking.

  "You...don't sound like you're fine." Saeko said, feeling concerned.

  "...I am, thank you." Rei tells her. Then, she looks at her party and asked. "What just happened?"

  "You missed out a lot that happened to us." Shokei replied. "We were attacked by the enemy, and we were faced with a vicious demon that tried to kill us."

  "Seriously?" Rei asked.

  "Of course, but where were you during that time?" Shokei asked her.

  "Not only that, but you also abandoned me!" Marie reminded her and kicked her by the knee.

  "Owww!!" Rei cries out, feeling the impact on her knee.

  "How could you leave me alone while you went to wander off by yourself?!" Marie shouted at her in a compint. "We were exploring the ruins together and yet you freaking ditched me?!"

  "Ohhh that! I'm sorry." Rei apologized.

  "Sorry's not good enough!" Marie shouted at her. "You could have died by some freak accident or something. But noooo, you wanted to go off on your own little adventure!"

  "Sheesh! You don't have to yell at me!" Rei said back at her. "I'm sorry that I was acting selfish on going off. I didn't mean to do that to you. If you have just waited for me..."

  "Wait for WHAT?!" Marie yelled at her. "So that you can have me sweat my butt off while you want to explore one particur area by yourself?! I swear I..."

  "OK, OK! THAT'S ENOUGH!!" Shokei yelled.

  Rei and Marie stopped arguing as they hear Shokei's loud voice.

  "Look, I know it was Rei's fault for leaving you behind." Shokei said to both of her allies. "I know that she takes responsibility on going off without your assistance. I know that she wandered off only that something happened to her in the process. All that matters is that Rei is still alive, and you Marie is yelling at her like a spoiled brat."

  "Grrrrrrr!!" Marie became enraged with anger, tears in her eyes.

  "Look, I know Rei more than you do." Shokei said to her. "I know that she is capable of doing things on her own, but never in an area such as this one. I...I..."

  Rei and Marie wait to see what Shokei wanted to say.

  "I don't want a fallout from you two." Shokei said. "I don't want that at all. I know we need to stick together but arguing over someone's disappearance does not solve problems. I know that we are grown on our age, but yes, Rei should've known better to stick together as a team, no matter how much we are in numbers."

  Rei hears this and nods.

  "I...I'm sorry Rei..." Marie softly said to her. "I didn't mean to go off like that. I'm truly sorry."

  "I accept your apology." Rei responded.

  "Promise me that you never do that to me again." Marie said to her. "You do know that I hate being alone."

  Rei closed her eyes and nodded. Marie felt hesitant and then she went over to hug Rei.

  "Awwww..." Naoko said with a tear in her eye and smiled.

  "Anyways, we're gd that we are all back together." Shokei said. "I know Rei has missed out a lot and didn't know what was taking pce at that time."

  "Besides, are you feeling all right?" Beatrice asked Rei.

  "Yes, yes. I'm doing fine." Rei replied to her. "If you're that curious, I was put into a deep sleep and that was it."

  "Did you find anything that was valuable?" Marie asked.

  "I did actually..." Rei said, trying to remember. "However, I can't recall due to me being unconscious...but I do remember seeing something in a very dark pce..."

  "What was it?" Shokei asked.

  "It looked sealed..." Rei tries to remember. "I remember that it was sealed...impossible for me to open it...and that was it."

  "Oh..." Marie said. "We could go out there and find..."

  "It's way too te for that." Shokei interrupted. "We already found the chemist and she got what she needed for the cure."

  "You did?" Rei said and looked at the chemist. "Who are you by the way?"

  "I am Mizuki." The chemist greeted her. "I am the one who found the cure that is needed to help my people back at Zeeletum."

  "Aha! So, you're the missing chemist I assume." Rei said to her.

  "Yes." Mizuki nodded and then feels the medicine that is in her travel pouch. "And despite the danger that we were involved in, the Navelc is still safe in one piece."

  "Right." Shokei said. "We should return back to Zeeletum now. Let's go."

  After completing their objective, the party finally leaves Thygya.
