A brilliant light beam pierced the thick fog accompanied by the sound of an approaching motorcycle engine.
Skull and his gang had no problem driving through the fog embedding the downtown district of the city.
Inside, the environment was gloomy, dark and damp. The monuments in downtown had somehow changed their appearance. The obelisk, for instance became a strange twisted spire and the Lincoln Monument and others were covered with thorny shrubs.
Many people, including police officers could be seen in the surroundings, but they looked like zombies, patrolling the area.
Skull carried Yang over his shoulders up the steps of the Lincoln Monument and finally set the young man's body down when he realized he started to wake up.
Yang blinked twice and saw the ghostly figure of the night master drifting in front of him.
- You!! – yelled Yang trying to pounce on the enemy, but was held back by Skull who was holding him by the arms.
With a blow to his back Yang was on his knees.
- Relax….- said the darkmaster approaching. – It's not polite to ignore my hospitality.
Yang saw that at the base of the monument a man was all tied up. He was bald and old and was sleeping snoring loudly.
- Master Yo? – inquired Yang in a low voice.
- That is correct impertinent brat. – said the darkmaster.
Yang lifted his face and looked at the night master defiantly.
- What have you done with my sister? – asked Yang raising his voice.
- Ah yeah……. her……..- fumbled the nightmaster. – The bad news is that she ended up being smarter than you. The good news is that she is lost and afraid as a Tunicorn.
- She'll find you and kick your behind. – threatened Yang laughing out loud.
- I guess she will try……….- said the Darkmaster turning his back on yang. – That's why, you are gonna help me capture her.
- Ha!! You are dreaming ghost butt……I'll never help you.
- Ah, but you will young warrior. – said the nightmaster holding in his hand an amulet with a question mark carved in the middle turning around and showing it to Yang.
- The amnisulet!...But how……..- I took it from Ultimoose not so long ago.
- You are so predictable…….-laughed the nightmaster. - You hid it in a very predictable place, my friend. I was able to snatch it with my energy before we departed to this world. Now, you will become my servant and help me unleash the power of my army upon this world. And as a special bonus I'll give you the privilege of eliminating your sister. – snickered the night master holding the amnusilet as a pendulum in front of Yang.
- Oh…….pellets!...- were the final words that Yang could remember saying with a clear consciousness.

Dave drove his car to the downtown district and stopped along side a big red SUV.
Yin glanced momentarily at the occupants, noticing that on the back seat there was a large bamboo stick resting against the window.
Yin stepped out of the car and tapped the window at the passenger side. Jake rolled the window down and looked at the young girl looking at him.
- Excuse me. – Can I ask you where did you get that bamboo bar? – asked Yin.
- Who wants to know?...- answered Jake flirtatiously.
Yin used her magic to open the door and then yanked Jake from the shirt.
- Where………did you get the stick? – Yin asked very upset.
- From a guy called Yang! –cried Jake immediately realizing the amazing strength of the girl.
- Where is he? – asked Yin.
- We don't know. Some guys in bikes took him. We were able to follow the cops to this place, you gotta believe me. – begged Jake overpowered by Yin.
Yin realized that they were a roadblock away from where the thick fog started. A big thunderous cloud was posed over the foggy area gusting winds that would blow large objects away.
- Wait. You are Yin? Right? – asked Chester from the driver's seat.
- Yes I am.
- Good. Then we can help you rescue him. He helped us a lot.
- Helped you. In exchange for what?...-asked Yin letting go of Jake and putting her hands on her hips.
- Nothing at all. – replied Chester a little bit puzzled. – I think he had lost his memory.
- Figures………….- mumbled Yin.
- So, how do you propose we get across? – Inquired Ms Banks.
- You can distract the police while we drive into the fog. – told Yin to Jake.
- You can't. The fog will bounce you back. We saw the police already trying to get around but they can't.
- Trust me. We'll get through. – said Yin confidently.
So, everybody went to their respective cars to put their plan into action. Jake tossed the stick to Yin.
- Thank you Jake. – said Yin with sparkly flirtatious eyes.
- Do your think she likes me Chester? – asked Jake.
- You have a wild imagination boy………….– said Chester flooring the gas of the SUV blazing past the intersection toward the roadblock then he swerved violently to the left when he was a few feet closer. With that, the cops got into their patrols and started the chase.
- Now!! – yelled Yin.
Dave floored the gas past the intersection toward the fog. He and Ms Banks winced thinking they were not going to make it while Yin closed her eyes and concentrated. Her aura glowed brightly and embedded the car ferrying it past through the fog.
When Dave and Ms Banks opened their eyes, they thought they had died and gone to another world, namely, hell.
