The door bust open, as Shion grinned, by the doorway, "Very good… me…"

Yamabuki shrieked, as she was spotted, "OH, NO!"

Shion grinned, "You think I'm stupid to sense your ninjutsu? You ninjas are stealth, but you forget… You're in my world… Very good!"

Yamabuki trembled, as she was trapped. What now? She cried out, "NO WAY!"

She summoned Chariot, and called out, "DAMN YOU!"

Both the katana and Mion's axe clashed, but Yamabuki was in pain. Shion cackled, "You failure!"

Yamabuki groaned, as she was dropped down, "No way I can overpower her… She's that intimidating!"

Shion was closer, as Yamabuki shivered, "Come on, Moé-tan… Hurry and get help… before she butchers me alive!"

Shion clasped her neck, strangling her, "Yamabuki! You say that you'd show courage in this land… Well, you forget… I've already taken it from you!"

She was losing breath, as Shion cackled, with her eyes demonic. She couldn't break free from her grip.


Episode XXXVI – Chapter 3: To The Rescue!
Embrace and Fight the Hate!


In the daytime area of Luxor, Yamabuki's drawing, Moé-tan, came towards Asahi & Chazz. Asahi gasped, "OH!"

Moé-tan said, "Asa! Chazz! You guys! Terrible news! An enemy Stand User has-!"

Asahi cried, "What? Yamabuki? Why are you wearing cosplay?"

Moé-tan said to her, "I'm not! Master Yamabuki is in trouble!"

Chazz asked, "Wait… You're not Yamabuki?"

Moé-tan replied, "Believe me… This girl, green hair, curvy body… She's going to kill Master Yamabuki!"

Asahi gasped, as Chazz groaned, "Oh, good grief… Where is she?"

Moé-tan explained everything, including what Shion can do, including take a shadow form. Asahi said, "But if she's in another world, we have to get in there."

Moé-tan stated, as she was fading away, "My time's almost up… You have to find the girl, the one with the Stand User. DO NOT let her take anything from you! Enter her realm, down that way!"

She vanished, as Asahi gasped, "YAMABUKI!"

Chazz said, "She's just a fake. But deep down, that's Yamabuki's soul."

Asahi picked up a sheet of paper, with Moé-tan on it. She hugged it and said, "I promise. We'll rescue you, Yamabuki."

She called, "There's no time to waste. The others will have to wait! Chazz, it's just you and me!"

Chazz nodded, "Hm. You heard what the girl said?"

Asahi replied, "Yes, I do. We'll have to find the enemy's realm, and beat her in her own game."

She dashed off, but Chazz said, "Hold on! The enemy has a realm, so how the hell can we find it, if we run into the Stand User?"

Asahi stopped, as she moaned, "Oh… I guess… It's a bust, then…"

Chazz shook his head and said, "Good grief. Quit your bitching, and come on!"

He walked off, as Asahi cried, "OH! Wait for me!"

They headed off, looking for Shion. Finding Yamabuki in Shion's dark realm is difficult. So, their best bet is to find Shion, and then defeat her, before they get sucked into her world.

XXXXX

Yamabuki was struggling, but kicked onto Shion's chest. She broke free and said, "Missed me!"

Shion yelled, "Damn you!"

She tripped her down and smiled, "Do you feel despair?"

Yamabuki landed on the floor, as Shion throttled her down to the floor, "I'LL MAKE THIS QUICK!"

She cackled and laughed, as Yamabuki was suffocating. But she smirked, as she had a spare piece of paper in her hands. She flicked her wrist, as Shion giggled, "Do you feel true despair, Yamabuki Suou? You will die, knowing that you've got no fear-! Uh, why are you smiling?"

Yamabuki gagged, "Oh… nothing… except I have… THIS!"

SLASH!
Shion was slashed in the face by a stray small garden rake. She roared in pain, "YOU BITCH! HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD THERE BE A SMALL RAKE IN THIS SHACK?"

Yamabuki said, "You forget one thing… Ninjas never reveal their secrets to enemies."

Shion yelled, "IF YOU WERE A MAIN CHARACTER, YOU WOULD'VE NOT DONE THAT! THAT WAS VERY BAD! VERY BAD INDEED!"

Yamabuki roared, "GO TO HELL!"

She punted her in the face, and then ran out of the shack, heading to a small abandoned building, which was rundown and deteriorating. Yamabuki thought, "Huh… This looks familiar… But I have to run, before this psycho kills me! Come on, Moé-tan! Don't lemme down!"

Shion growled, "You little brat… You want to die from my grip, you coward? You're entering my domain, you punk!"

Yamabuki rushed inside, as Shion called, from the echoes, "Come now… Tread carefully… Mion is waiting for you…"

Yamabuki whispered, "Mion? Oh, right, her Stand. She lurks in the shadows, coated in all-black, and lunges at the right moment. This place, the living room looks decayed and grime-covered… and the furniture is old and decrepit. Her Stand, Mion, would pop up from anywhere…"

She walked around, as she whispered, "What I wouldn't do to lose some fingernails, right about now. I'd rather keep my fingers, thank you."

Shion echoed, "Anyone who touches my dear Mion's shadow, or as we call her, Divine Sethan, will be altered of their despair, of my choice. Love turns to hate, courage turns to fear, and happiness turns to misery! I've already turned your courage into true fear… You're already sweating…"

Yamabuki hollered out, "YOU DISGUSTING DIRTBAAAAAAAAAAAG!"

Mion appeared from behind her, and Shion cackled, "AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

She avoided the strike, as she growled, "SHIT! She's onto me!"

She ran off, and thought, "Chazz and Asahi should arrive, soon… But there's one problem… What if Moé-tan ran out of time, to warn them? And here's an idea… How to get here! That's the problem! How did I end up in this backwards Japanese Horror Film, with a shadowy being chasing me with an axe? That is lines for gory inspiration, but the movie idea sucks! It's so clichéd!"

She turned the corner, as Mion made a sharp left. Shion called, "You can run, but you cannot hide!"

Yamabuki ran to the hallways, as Shion shrieked, "YES! VICTORY IS MINE! This house is all a labyrinth and a maze! NO ESCAPE FOR THE JUST! No way in hell I will ever lose to a bitch like you!"

She shrilled, as Yamabuki was caught in a fork in the way. She growled, "Damn it! Even the place is like a maze! Damn her!"

She ran to the right hall, and locked the door in a huge room. Shion called, "Locking the door won't do you any good!"

She spotted a window with bars, "SUCCESS! A window! But it's like Alcatraz! No matter."

She boomed, "CHARIOT!" and summoned Ninja Chariot to slash off the iron bars.

CLANG!
Both Ninja Chariot and Yamabuki trembling in vibration, as Shion cackled, "You fool… I said there is NO escape! Not only I siphoned your courage, or what's left of it, your strength is gone, too! I bet you've gotten slower, too."

Yamabuki grumbled, "Damn her… This perverted psycho is on my last nerve!"

She looked down and said, "Even so, it's high up, at about 12 feet. I must be on the second floor."

The axe hacked through the door, as Yamabuki growled, "NO! Alright…"

Her face peered through the hole and lashed her tongue in a demonic look, "Here's to me… Attaboy… rero-rero-rero-rero-rero…"

Yamabuki suddenly vanished, as Shion snarled, "She's gone? Damn. Did she squeeze into the bars? Accursed little brat…"

She looked around and said, "You insufferable ninja. I'll find you. Come out, come out, wherever you are… Or maybe that little spider monkey somehow got out through the window…"

She looked around, but Yamabuki was well-hidden. Shion hollered, as she went ballistic, "SHE'S GONE! SHE'S GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, SHE'S GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE, GOOOOOOOOONE!"

She started to destroy the room, as she panted, "Where did she go? She couldn't have used Chariot to dig her way out… The walls are 1cm thick… And her ninja skills are usually camouflage. And those bars are too narrow for her! This is insane… Where did she go?"

Yamabuki's voice called, "True… I am hiding, but I'm somewhere you can't see… Care to ask where I am? Are you seriously going to lose to a ninja, in a game of wits?"

Shion gasped, as she saw a goldfish tank on the table. She cried, "WHAT? How did that fish tank get here? Three fish, and a small ball inside… So, that's her game… She's disguised herself as a fish tank!"

She gasped, "Huh? The goldfish disappeared!"

The ball floated towards her, as Shion asked, "Huh?"

STAB!
Shion was stabbed in the nose, as she screamed, "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Ninja Chariot called, "Surprise, I'm in the ball!"

Yamabuki appeared, as she was completely dry, "I had Chariot shrink down into the ball, waiting for the surprise attack."

Shion's nose was bleeding, as she griped in pain, "HOW? HOW DID YOU ESCAPE FROM ME?"

Yamabuki smirked, "Easy. I used the goldfish tank to have Chariot strike. And hid myself in the mirror. Even a ninja knows the safety of being hacked and slashed. And even if I'm rattled by this demonic realm, Chariot is still going to slice your face off! My courage is diminishing, but I'm going to enjoy this, with what I have left! You may be scary-looking, but you're just as stupid as you are creepy!"

She prepared, as she continued, "Doesn't matter if you have no courage, Chariot can still skewer your face, bitch!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Ninja Chariot began to slash at Shion's face, scarring her. She held her face, and started to run away, screaming in pain.

Shion ran off, "VERY BAD! VERY BAAAAAAAAAAAAD!"

Yamabuki roared, "HEY! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE! God! Er'ry time, the bad guys escape! And just when I have er'rything under control!"

She sighed, "Well, at least she's gone. The only thing left is to get Moé-tan to retrieve Chazz and Asahi… I hope they made it."

Outside, Shion was running, crying in pain, "Bad! Bad! VERY BAD, ME! That ninja, despite that I depleted her courage, is still in fighting spirit!"

She growled, as she viewed Asahi, "Huh? It's them… Yamabuki can wait. At least I'll remove something from them…"

Asahi called, "AAAGH! Chazz, look! It's her!"

Asahi ran to her and said, "Excuse me! Miss? Are you alright?"

Shion moaned, "Ungh… Never better… I had an accident."

Chazz huffed, "That's old news…"

Shion gasped, and thought, "PRINCETON, TOO? Crap… If he's here, I'm done for! I have to stop them both… How did they find us?"

He called, "Hey, Asa… You and I better check inside that shack. The girl with green hair, like her, is inside."

Asahi said, "You're right. From my view, she's a victim, right here."

Chazz said, "Someone who was running, covered in blood… You don't see that, every day."

Shion thought, "Great! Very Good! They had no idea it was me… But still… my Divine Sethan could remove their love, and exchange it with hate… and I can turn them against each other. Very good, me!"

She stopped, as she said, "But wait… Wouldn't she be the Stand User? YOU! Do you know this place? Chazz and I found it in a small dark portal, somewhere in town."

Shion gulped, "SHIT! They knew? I made a portal with my shadows, and lured Yamabuki here! So, how in the right mind did they know?"

She calmed down and said, "Stay calm… Look at it this way, you still have victory in hands. The one who's calmer is the winner, but these are God Mode Stand Users. They have no idea it was me. I'll do what I do best: play dumb, until the last minute, and then attack, when they are distracted."

She said, "Uh, I found it, too. I thought it was a happy place, filled with rainbows!"

Chazz said, "Well, you're stupid enough to believe it. Asa, let's go."

Shion walked away, as she said, "Yes… Uh, how about if I follow you? I was thinking of leaving, but-."

Yamabuki suddenly called, from far away, "CHAZZ! ASAHI! YOU IDIOTS! DON'T COME IN HERE!"

They gasped, as Yamabuki cried, "THAT GIRL! SHE'S THE ENEMY! SHE'S THE STAND USER! ONE FALSE MOVE, AND SHE'LL TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM YOU!"

Asahi gasped, as Shion growled, "ACCURSED YAMABUKI! THAT DOES IT! I'LL TAKE OJAMA STAR'S HAPPINESS AND TURN IT INTO GLOOM!"

She grinned, "But then again, if Yamabuki were to play Stoolie, it'd be perfect…"

She swung her arms out, "GOTCHA NOW, PRINCETON!"

Her shadow loomed towards Chazz, as Asahi shoved him out of the way, "CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ!"

She touched her shadow, as Shion cackled, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! EVEN BETTER! I TOUCHED ASAHI'S SHADOW! I'LL TAKE HER LOVE AWAY!"

Asahi dropped to the ground, as Chazz moaned, "Ungh… Damn it… What the hell did you do?"

He felt dejected, as he groaned in despair. Yamabuki cried, "NO! I was too late… That bitch stolen his happiness, if he had any! And what of Asahi?"

Asahi was faced down, on all-fours, as she was seething in anger, "Why? Why?"

She was angry, "How could you? How could you be so stupid?"

She turned to Chazz, as she yelled, "You bastard! I hate you! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!"

Shion laughed, "I DID IT! CHAZZ IS AS GLOOMY AS A GOTH, AND ASAHI IS BREAKING UP WITH HIM! VERY GOOD, ME!"

She called to Asahi, "SHOW THE HATE THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR GLOOMY EX-BOYFRIEND! I hear through the grapevine that both of you are powered by the power of friendship! That means, without that, you're nothing! Asahi hates you, forever!
And Asahi Sakurai, let the hate flow into you! You have a Stand that has the ability to produce your alter-ego! I suggest you NOT use your Stand, and show how you really feel, using your own fists!"

Asahi clutched her fists and was furious, "Damn you… I hate you so much! I never want to see you again, you bastard!"

Shion hollered, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! I WON! I BESTED OJAMA STAR AND MECH-ASAHI! LORD NEVINS, I HOPE YOU'RE WATCHING! YOU WILL PAY ME A GOOD FORTUNE FOR THIS, ONCE THESE GUYS ARE DEAD, AFTER A LITTLE FUN! DO IT! LET THE HATE FLOW YOU! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! BWAH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA-!"

POW!
Asahi lands a brutal punch… … …on Shion! Shion moaned, as she was being assaulted. Asahi snarled, "YOU SON OF A BITCH! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!"

Shion moaned, as she was being struck, "WHAT? HOW CAN THIS BE? SHE HATES CHAZZ PRINCETON! SHE BROKE UP WITH HIM!"

Yamabuki gasped, "NO WAY! She decked her with just a bare fist!"

Chazz huffed, "Goof grief… You forget one thing… You erased Asahi's love… and turned it into hate… But she's already fueled with the Power of Love."

Shion was on the ground, as she shivered, "WHAT? You… You're unfazed?"

Chazz sighed, "Please, you think I am ever happy, especially with this bitch?"

Asahi snarled, as she was furious, "The only person I hate, because of this realm… IS YOU!"

SOCK! SOCK!
She started to get plastered by Asahi's bare knuckles, in serious and furious rage. "DORA! DORA! DORA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA!"

Shion was being pummeled, as she thought, "IMPOSSIBLE! IT CAN'T BE! SHE'S TURNED TO HATE, AND TOOK HER ANGER OUT ON ME?!"

Yamabuki cried, "AWESOME! Asahi's lost all her love, and fueled into her own hate, lashing at that woman! She still loves him! BADASS!"

Asahi growled, as she grabbed her collar, "CHAZZ! FINISH THIS BIMBO OFF!"

Chazz sighed, as he prepared his punches, "With pleasure…"

He suddenly unleashed a brand new power, as he touched Shion's face. Shion was completely healed, removed of her wounds, as he said, "I don't know why and how I did it, but I healed you…"

He revved his punches and added, "But it's not cheating, if I healed you first… Isn't it?"

Shion gasped, as he glared at her, in intimidation.

SOCK! POW!
"DORA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA! DORAAAAAAAAAH!"
He landed a huge barrage of lefts and rights, sending Shion flying into the dirt, unconscious and out cold. She started to have her eyes in swirls and her head hearing bells. She lost consciousness, and everything went black.


Minutes later, Shion woke up, as she groaned, "Ungh… Where am I? Why is it-?"

She was handcuffed, as she was trapped, in her wrists and ankles. She gasped, "WHAT THE HELL? WHY AM I HANDCUFFED?"

Yamabuki held her axe and said, "It's nothing, woman… While you were unconscious, Asahi placed the cuffs on ya."

Asahi said, as she was back to normal, "You're under arrest, Shion Sonozaki! This time, your psychotic days are over! How dare you try to break apart my boyfriend's love bonds from me?"

Chazz grumbled, "Jesus Christ, what an annoying girl…"

Shion shrieked, "HOW COULD YOU STAND FOR THIS? I TURNED YOU GLOOMY, AND I MADE YOU HATE HIM!"

Chazz said, "All you did was made polar opposites of us. I am usually emotionless, but when your Stand touched me, I got energetic. And all you did was piss Asahi off… That's bad. Very bad."

Shion sobbed, "Very, very bad… indeed…"

Asahi said, "Even as a carefree living dude, my Chazz baby is still serious!"

Yamabuki smirked, "Even if it means that you'd take away the happy part of us, and turn it into misery. Woe is coming for you!"

Shion moaned, "Even… even the power of friendship… I have bested it… but… It's impossible!"

Yamabuki stepped back and said, "I'll let you two do the honors. Make sure she's doubly finished off!"

She asked Shion, "What, you think we're letting you off easy? Let us fix that."

Chazz and Asahi held hands, as Chazz said, "Time to fly, bitch."

Asahi smiled, "Back to Prison Island, via air mail!"

Ojama Star and Mech-Asahi appear, as they approached Shion. She shrieked, and hopped and crawled away. Mech-Asahi extended her arm, and pulled her back in.

"Nice work!" Asahi grinned.

Chazz smiled, "Great!"

They both yelled, "WE'LL BEAT YOU WITH THE POWER OF LOVE!"

Shion shrieked, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

POW-POW-POW-POW-POW-POW!
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
They screamed, punching at Shion, rapidly and brutally.

"DO! RAAAAAAAAAAH!"
They landed one final heavy uppercut, sending Shion flying into the blue sky.

Shion screamed, heading off to Prison Island, "VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…!"

Shion Sonozaki, the God of Divine Sethan, fell victim to Chazz Princeton and Asahi Sakurai's Power of Love, defeating her Stand, and flew off to Prison Island, never to be seen again.
Shion Sonozaki, Divine Sethan, the God of Storms and Chaos; age 52 (Forever 17) and single; currently airborne as an unfortunate projectile; OUT OF COMMISSION!
[Shion Sonozaki – Sethan: RETIRED (currently airborne)]

SHING!
A star shined, as Shion was blasting off. Chazz sighed, as Yamabuki smiled, "Thank goodness… Moé-tan did come through…"

Asahi smiled, "We're glad you're safe…"

Chazz said, "Yeah…"

Asahi hugged him and sobbed, "That was terrible… This Stand… converted my smile and turned it into a frown…"

Yamabuki joked, "Maybe it's because you cared for him. Mostly, you wanted to protect him. I mean, you've been to scraps before, am I right?"

She nudged at her, as Chazz sighed, "Asa, come on. We better rejoin the others, shortly."

Asahi blushed, "Yeah… Sure…"

She hugged him and said, "Chazz, for once… Please… Please kiss me…"

Chazz smiled, as he said, "Oh, for the love of-."

They leaned closer, as they were about to kiss. But…

"OI! LOOK WHO IT IS!" Michelle and Rook returned, as Michelle called, "HEY, YOU THREE! What the devil are you doing here?"

Yamabuki called, "OH! It's Miss Nevins and Rookie."

Michelle marched towards her, "The bloody hell, you morons! Didn't I tell you NOT to separate from the group?"

Yamabuki barked, "US?! What the hell are you doing here? What took you so damn long?"

Michelle argued, "I keep telling you to not wander off, on your own! HEY! Weren't you paying attention?"

Yamabuki barked, "Well, you're one to talk! You're the ones to take your damn time in the bathroom!"

Michelle yelled, "WHAT? What are you talking about?"

Yamabuki boomed, "If you don't mind, you're ruining this moment for these two!"

Rook said, "Now-now… We have time. Breakfast doesn't end until 11, and it's only 9:45."

While the argument went on, Chazz and Asahi kissed and make out, ignoring the chaos around them. Michelle yelled, "HEY! Chazz! Asahi! Pay attention!"

Yoko suddenly returned, as Yamabuki yelled, "YOKO?! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN, ALL DAY LONG?"

Yoko meowed, a bit bored, "Meow…"

Well, despite that it was a tough day, both Yuno Gasai and Shion Sonozaki were defeated. With that, Steven Nevins's Egyptian Gods has dwindled down to three.


Meanwhile, in a dark cell, Percival was lying on the ground, battered and bruised, as he was in chains. He was coming to, as he moaned, "Ungh… Damn it… Where on-?"

He was in a dark cell, and grumbled, "Darn it… That… damned Stand User… How dare she use me, in a trap…"

"I see that she caught you, too, huh?" A voice called.

It was a burly man in tan skin and spiky hair, wearing his grey school uniform, and another was with long black hair, in an all-white female school uniform. It was former DNC members Raiki Gouriki and Oboro Tsukimigusa. But why are they here?

Percival moaned, "Huh? You two? But… I don't get it… The DNC disbanded, and I thought you were behind this…"

Oboro said, "No… We weren't… Apparently, Eli Ayase wants to destroy us, for abandoning our mission towards the vampire, MIO."

Percival said, "Yeah, I heard… This Eli Ayase killed Daichi Taira, and used Star Drop Stand as her idol group. How she captured you guys, I'll never know…"

Gouriki said, "Well, this was after we finished another round in North City. Three pop idol girls came to us, and offered to sing about dirty jokes."

Oboro said, "We wanted to atone for our evil ways, so we sent out immune prefects to stop them."

Percival shook his head and said, "Didn't work, did it?"

Oboro shook his head and said, "No. The prefect assault failed, and Gouriki and I were badly defeated by these evil girls… We were no match. And they sang out that we have turned on our Lord MIO, to side with The Gang. Rejoice, as the new age dawns for you, as you will be extinct. That is what they said."

Percival said, "Me, too… Except I had a run-in with Ayase, herself… and my ass was handed to."

Oboro moaned, "I see that you are aware of Eli Ayase's evil plans… She wants to revive X Prohibition, as a way of carrying out MIO's orders. Anna Nishikinomiya is dead… but Eli Ayase, being controlled by the vampire, would try something like that. She is a follower to the vampire queen, and would eliminate traitors, like us."

Percival asked, "But does Sophia know?"

Gouriki turned away, "It's hard to say… but the minute we tried to call for back-up, our PMs were hacked… and a female voice, similar to Miss Nishikinomiya's tone, just told us goodbye. And our PMs stopped working…"

Oboro said, "We cannot contact help. And no, we refuse to make any dirty words out. She even told us, Eli Ayase, using euphemisms, "if you're careful, I am going to tear your joysticks off and tear out your knobs off your chest." It's a sad day, since Mr. Okuma has disappeared, and Miss Kajou has died. We knew we shouldn't have disbanded, knowing this would be our fates."

Percival growled, "Those bitches from hell. Sooner or later, I'm going to bust out of this place, and find Cy… And then, we're going to stop Eli Ayase."

He asked, "Also… Where are we, anyways?"

Oboro stated, "Well, nowhere in particular… We lost consciousness, after being assaulted by Star Drop Stand. When we awoke, here we are…"

Raiki said, "Even if you find a way out, I doubt you'd go back into civilization… if it's far from where you live."

Percival asked, "Does Matsukage know?"

Oboro said, "Unfortunately, no. He was never given the information about us… nor of our whereabouts. The Decency Squad is looking for us, as we speak. But finding us in this underground dungeon will be difficult, since the signal is down, as does our PMs. Your handheld devices and radios are pilfered, too."

Percival looked in his pockets, and growled, "That bitch! She stole my wallet, too! When I get out of here…"

He thought, as he was trapped by Eli's dungeon, "I swear, guys… I'll find a way out of here…"

Meanwhile, Cy was driving in Percival's car, as she said, "I have to get him out, widdou fail! He told me to wun, so that's wut I'm doin'! But he needs help!"

She passed a sign that says "Entering: Targus City". What will she find in Targus City?

At Luxor, The Gang was having breakfast. They finished, as Chazz sighed, "Good."

Asahi smiled, "Very good…"

Rook said, "And in only a short time. What was supposed to be breakfast, almost became brunch."

Michelle said, "But you guys made it, on time."

Scarlet appeared and said, "The others are already at the hotel, awaiting the next orders. Here."

She gave her an instant camera and said, "I had Superball get me a spare camera. Since Digital Cameras are fragile… an instant camera will do nicely."

Michelle said, "Thanks. We needed a break, after all. We're so close to Cairo now, it's obvious to know where MIO is hiding. I figured I go back to the basics."

Yamabuki asked, "OH! A Spirit Photo?"

Asahi smiled, "I see… Like in a digital camera, you're going to use your Spirit Caller to create another photo?"

Michelle said, "Right… Given we're close to our goal, I'm sure it'll be more precise… NOW, STAND BACK!"

She was grabbed by the wrist and boomed, "NO, YOU DON'T!"

Scarlet held her and said, "You want to break this camera, too?"

Michelle said, "That's the downside of it."

Scarlet smiled, "You leave that to my Broken Brilliance! Connect Hermit Ghost to the camera's ends here, away from the shutter button. Then, I'll use Broken High Priestess to generate a photo."

The ghostly vines connected to the camera, as Scarlet used her fiery aura to generate a photo, "YaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAah… Waaaaaaaaaah… Waaaaaaoooohhhh…" She bleated and moaned.

Asahi shivered, "Oh, my… She's in touch with Broken Matt Hardy?"

Yamabuki smiled, "You know, I never have seen a Spirit Photo, for real."

The camera flashed, and popped out a small photo. Michelle pulled it out and said, "Good job! It'll save a couple rounds to use, creating spirit photos."

Scarlet laughed, "Yes, it is… delightful!"

She thought, "NOTE TO SELF: never act like him…"

The waiter asked, "Uh, is something wrong? I heard a noise."

Rook said, "It's nothing. Just run along. We're fine."

The waiter left, as he said, "Yes, sir."

Michelle viewed the photo, as Chazz asked, "So, Old Hag, do you see it?"

Michelle said, "Soon… Wait for it… I know we're close, so it should work…"

The picture came to, and showed a view of a building with a dome on top. They gasped, as Michelle said, "This is where they're hiding in Cairo. But what?"

Scarlet said, "Hmm… This looks like…"

She slammed the picture down, as they were shocked. Michelle called, "THERE YOU HAVE IT, LADS! OUR FINAL DESTINATION!"

The building was a Fatimid-style mansion, and it was where MIO and Steven Nevins hail in. Eventually, they reported this find to the rest of The Gang, and off they went to Cairo, to locate this building.


Episode XXXVI – The End


Cairo is just a hop and a skip away, as time was running out. Elsewhere, Cy has traveled to Targus City, to meet with someone, just to aide Percival, Gouriki, & Oboro, captured by the vile Eli Ayase! What will happen next?
Be sure to tune in to the next exciting episode!
