Jen crossed a rift between the real world into the body of the Mask of Sin. He had to leave his soul from the vessel to enter it. His body wasn't the same in the mask, just a glowing yellow recollection of what his body used to be. In the dark hazy mist Jen noticed the silhouette of something lurking behind that haze. In this body Jen didn't carry his guns. He never needed to carry one before because no one has ever been home before.
Jen only had one power inside this world. Energy projection. He could fire bolts of energy from his hands at will. It could only stun its enemies long enough for him to attack. Jen knew it wasn't enough. Even on the outside of the mask he felt something looking at him. Something very bad about it. Jen's thoughts were utilized when he saw the beast inside the Mask of Sin. Eight eyes—two eyes in the middle and three aligned on both the right and left—freaking Jen the hell out. Gray ridges surrounded the beasts outer bulb and gray skin mixed with tangled fur came crawling down a long rope made of web.
" For the love of Lucas, all my friends on Razi's crew, and all the people who've lost their life under this masks insidious power, give me the strange to win. Energy Bolt!"
Energy surged from Jen's body into two of his fingers. He picked two fingers closest together and charged them with an energy similar to Jane's electric powers, but made from a different energy. Jen's hand changed. All his fingers in his right hand went missing except those two fingers. Jen fired a beam of concentrated energy into the spider. The spider was hit and fell off its web. The spider stood back up to fight Jen, firing a web projection. The web tightened around Jen's arm but he had another attack coming for him.
" Energy Blade!"
Jen's arm sliced through the web and went right into the spider. Jen's attack didn't even hurt the spider. That spider was generating itself in a strange way. Its body multiplied from one copy into another part of himself. The spiders body multiplied into twelve different copies and continued to make copies. The copies were a much fainter color, purple mixed with the gray skin. The copies went chasing into Jen who stood there charging up more energy.
" Energy Blast Range!"
Jen unleashed an attack with a set range of seismic devastation. He fired the attack in overdrive, firing energy over the spiders clones. The clones were vaporized in Jen's energy. But when those clones were destroyed more came out of the smoke and jumped towards Jen. Jen charged more energy into his right arm.
" Energy Repel!"
Jen unleashed a seismic barrier pushing into the spiders. The spiders dispersed into small elements. His barrier lasted a minute before he needed more energy to produce his attack. Suddenly the spider jumped in and hit Jen across his throat. When Jen was hit a part of his energy zapped the spiders leg. Jen crashed. He rose quickly to his feet to fight back.
" Energy Hobnail!"
Jen fired a dozen energy nails. The spider formed a giant ball under his long legs. The spider leaped over his web ball to raise above Jen. Under the spiders' legs more web balls were being produced and floated like balloons. The spider moved through one web ball to the next evasively dodging the energy bolts Jen fired in guesstimate of where he was. The spider was too fast for Jen to hit. Jen's energy was strong but dangerous. Every time he missed he energy burst into a dangerous space.

Razi, Daniel, Jane, and Eiza watched the monstrous body hit the trees and roared angrily. He was losing control from the fight inside. No one knew who was winning the fight: Jen or the beast inside the mask. The beast jumped into the tree branch and bite the branch in half.
" This thing's picking Jen apart!" Daniel shouted.
" Jen can win," Razi said.
" He's dead!" Jane shouted. " Dead! Dead! Dead!"
" Shut up!" Eiza shouted at Jane. " Come on! We don't even know if his spirits still alive or not and you guys are acting like we already buried him!"
" If Jen is still alive in there, why is he not here?" Daniel asked.
" Look," Eiza said. " That thing is wincing in pain because it's still fighting. As long as it is still fighting it means the staggering spirit of Jen is still alive."
" I say we cut this monsters head off while he's still fighting Jen," Jane suggested, raising her scythe suggestively.
" We cannot do that," Razi said. " Jen's spirit is still locked inside that monster. Anything we do to hurt that monster could hurt Jen instead."
" Why? Why are you denying we help the only member of our crew who needs help the most?" Daniel yelled, rage in his head forming a very repulsively ugly vein. " Why do you insist we stand here like idiots while our weakest member is being killed off?"

" Arrraaaa! Arraaaa!"
Jen fired bolts into the web balls aiming for the spider. The spider was fast. Even the most skilled snipers couldn't hit it. Two spiders jumped off the web balls to grab Jen. Jen fired the energy bolts into the spiders, killing them. A third spider fell down and almost crushed Jen. Jen moved in a perpendicular jump landing on a web ball. The fake spider jumped out behind Jen. He jabbed it in the eyes with an energy bolt and destroyed it. The real spider fired web balls. Jen dodged the ambush jumping to a floating web ball beside him. The spider continued firing web balls and Jen continued to jump on other web balls to dodge. The web balls vanished and Jen slipped and crashed to the ground.
" Energy...I need more energy. Have to use all my energy to stop this bug."
The spider multiplied from one to twenty different spiders. It didn't stop there as every new spider he summoned towered on top of the original spider. It didn't stop until his tower combined with his original body. What was a spider became a cocoon of blue and red LED moving like two glow balls. The ground Jen touched turned to energy.
" Razi, you were a great captain. Daniel, you were an okay guy, but you were an even better swordsman. Momo, you had more heart than any creature I've ever met, and I'm sorry I was able to save you from yourself. Jane, you're callous and mean now but I hope one day you will devote yourself to Razi. Eiza, I'll miss you the most."
A giant claw ripped out of the cocoon's cover. Jen needed twenty percent more energy before he could fire his ultimate attack. Something moved its hideous face through the cocoon. The monsters face was way too ugly for even a spider, and it licked its slimy black tongue. Its emerald eyes shy away when Jen was near one hundred percent. Jen's body turned gold like his energy. It powered him up for one giant attack.
" Energy Big Bang!"
Jen unleashed an attack so powerful it could destroy the inner layer of the Mask of Sin. He fired a giant energy wave towards the scary being where his body was hidden inside an energy ball. Jen's body exploded and wiped out everything in his path. The monstrous spider was completely destroyed by Jen's attack. Every floating web ball was destroyed, the blast hit the ceiling, and when the blast filled the hazy mist of the Mask of Sin...everything was quiet.

Outside, the monsters eyes were fidgeting uncontrollably and so were his arms. The monsters mask was peeled of the creamy white and black covered the outside of the mask. The crew could hardly believe their eyes. The beasts chest showed its red heart through its bony chest beating with a knife-like appendage protruding out of it.
" Greed...Envy...Wrath...Death..."
The mask spoke three sins before the black person with dreadlocks was released. The rest of the monsters body burned away in a fiery stream of yellow lava. The body sank to the ground as its eyes burned from his eye socket's. The rest of him burned away except the mask. It looked just as scary from the first time they saw it.
" Where's Jen?" Eiza said with fear dripping from her cold face.
The crew had no answer for her. They didn't have too. Jen showed up behind a tree. He was wearing his modern clothes, which was a shock to see. How did he manage to change clothes so quickly. Was he even the real Jen? Jen grabbed the unconscious figures hand and dragged him towards the group.
" Wait!" Daniel shouted. Jen stopped walking. " Jen, what's your favorite food?"
" Favorite?"
" It's Jen."
" Jen!" Razi and Eiza shouted in happy unison.
Jen couldn't prepare himself for the victory hug of Razi and Eiza. Both of them ran up to Jen and tackled him. Jen was given a warm and excruciatingly painful hug from Razi and an icy cold kiss from Eiza. It would be a perfect victory if they weren't putting too much force in their actions.
" Good to see your back," Daniel replied.
" You better not do anything like that again!" Jane shouted. " Or I'll rip both your arms off and really kill you."
Jen was helped up by Razi and Eiza off the ground. Jane glanced coldly at Jen which he returned by smiling. Razi and Eiza also laughed. Kaya curled his bottom half and rattled his body laughing with them. Even Daniel, the bastard son of Smoker, laughed as well. Most of the crew was laughing...five swords went through Jen's back. Razi and Eiza shuddered. Daniel stood in anger at the three people responsible. Three people stood in a line; one girl and two boys. A man with two large machete's and a rosary, a boy with pink hair, and a girl with a beret and belly-baring T-shirt.
" Casterwill has a whole legion of followers looking after him. When your friend said that five pirates were coming here, he arranged we fight fair and make a battle arrangement—four of us will fight the four other crewmates as long as Casterwill gets to fight the captain."
