Manta was sitting inside Anahol's oversoul. Wondering how Yoh and the others were doing in the continent of Mu.
'are they ok?' he wondered ' are they all alive?' he looked at Anna who was just looking at her hands. He couldn't see her eyes, her blond hair was covering it all up. He wanted to ask her opinion but decided to talk to Anahol instead.
"how long ago did everyone leave the island?" manta asked him trying to lighten the mood a bit.
" two hours before us," replied Anahol " it'll would've taken a while for us to catch up to them so they decided to wait for us in one of the regions."
"it's my fault for making us late sorry for over sleeping" apologized manta guiltily.
"we would've been late anyway" spoke Anna, " I had something I had to do before coming. I had to leave something behind that I couldn't have taken with me."
The last sentence was spoken so sadly that Manta began to wonder what it was. He thought really hard but couldn't have come up with anything so he gave up and decided to look out the window.
" I don't see why you decided to come even after what that cat told you. Not to mention you a bit out of furyoku after doing what you did." Anahol told Anna in a concerned way. Manta started to listen to them, interested.
" I am the only one strong enough to get those four elemental spirits two Yoh and the others. Therefore no matter what happens to me I will help Yoh become shaman king and change Hao's heart." she said. No explanations. No need for anymore questions, that is the way Kyoyama Anna answers.
'Yoh' she thought to herself 'no matter what happens to me in there you will be shaman king. I just hope you've made the journey so far.'
