"We're here my knight, it's been centuries since I last seen this place," The women stepped down from an enormous black phoenix. "A little decoration might enliven my taste. Come my knight we must hurry and prepare the necessities needed for the ceremony to awaken my full powers." She said as she walked over to her throne.
"Now I must search for Siren." She spoke softly as she leaned back against the throne relaxing herself. A luminous sphere appeared in her hand.
Matt was dressed in a black armor. Above his wrist, a symbol emblem on it, the symbol of goddess of death. Shiva.
In his large hand laid a sword made out of a gleaming black metal. It gave out a unique glint of color as it came in contact with light. His face cold and intense, his eyes were gray. It didn't reflect light like it use to, instead the light seemed to be absorbed into it like a black hole.
"Step up, my loyal knight. Come here and kneel before me." She ordered him.
Matt climbed up the throne and took the goddess hand and kissed it. Shiva smiled and lifted Matt's face with her index finger and thumb on his solid chin.
"You are a rewarding catch. Siren is wise to have chosen me a good protector." Shiva said as she grabbed Matt's head and pushed him into a passionate kiss. Matt just stood their like a zombie, and let his master have what she desires.
Shiva stopped and bitted Matt's lip. "I can sense her, she's coming. Siren… how foolish of you to walk straight into my trap."
She laughed. "My knight, take Quetazolt with you and go greet our guess. Play with the other's if you like, but bring Siren to me."
Matt stood and backed away, "Yes, Goddess Shiva. I'll return with Siren and kill the others." He bowed and rode up the solid creature. Its large wings waved and they hovered into the air.

"Sora loves Matt! Sora loves Matt!" Toru continued to annoy his sister.
"That's it Toru… I'm not gonna chase you anymore. What you are saying is not true and I won't be affected by it at all! I will remain calm and stay that way…" Sora kept repeating out loud covering her ears with both her hands, trotting not far behind of her mother.
"Sora loves Matt! Sora loves Matt! Sora loves Matt! Sora loves Matt!"
"It is almost sun down, I think we should stop here for the night." Mr. Karim said. We all agreed as my wounded elbow was giving me trouble keeping up with them and my satanic isn't much help either.
Dad was engrossed in a book about the women in the Tomb. So far we've reached the top but there is still no sign or trace of the goddess… and Matt. I have to admit, I'm worried about him. I'm so worried for him. From the beginning of our journey I prayed to god that he would protect Yamato until we came there and rescue him. I studied the beautiful scenery around me, the green and tall trees shadowed our body from the harsh heat of the sun. The wild flowers bloomed showing of their enchanting beauty, the smell of fresh herbs, sweet and the sound of the animal busy chattering slowly died down in the untamed forest as they readied themselves for the arrival of the night.
"Hey Sora look! There is an eagle!" Toru said to me. I searched for the majestic creature in the sky. It was black, and its feather was soo shiny. I noticed it coming closer and closer towards us. I got a closer look at it from my binoculars. What I saw wasn't an eagle it is way bigger!
"That's not an eagle!" I shouted to them.
"What is it?" Mr. Arai said finally removing his head from his book and looked into my binocular.
Mr. Karim looked at the bird from his binoculars. "That's a phoenix!"
"What!?" Mr. Arai said in disbelief, "But isn't that creature just a myth!?"
"Well Arai… isn't anymore." Mr. Karim said his mouth hanging open.
"It's heading straight for us! DUCK!" Sora's father warned.
All of them ducked to the ground except for Sora.
"Sora!" her father yelled.
Sora stood there looking through her binoculars, and she saw Matt! Sora rejoiced and shouted at him.
"Matt! Here!!" She said waving at him with her uninjured hand.
The creature dived down, it's large wings created and strong current of air making them glued to the ground. The creature was heading towards Sora. Matt reached out his hand and Sora, gladly stretch out hers. Then he saw his eyes. That weren't his eyes. Sora pulled back her hand but Matt managed to grab her by her waist and lifted her up.
"Let go of my sister you baka!" Toru screamed taking a large stone and threw it at Matt. The stone made contact, blowing Matt off balance. He and Sora fell off the creature and rolled to the ground.
Matt immediately recovered and sat up. The others, still dazed. Sora lay beside him, unconscious. Matt got to his feet and neared her, seeing this Toru leaped towards him.
Matt watched in mere amusement as he raised his hand and aimed it at Toru. The others watch in puzzle as Toru limply fall to the floor. Mrs. Takenouchi rushed beside him and held her son in her arm, trying desperately to wake him up.
Sora reeled her head to the side and saw Toru beside her.
"Sora! Why can't they see me?" The little boy cried into his sister's arm. He was scared. Matt looked at the duo and smiled evilly. He lifted his hand and aimed it straight at her mother.
"Matt, NO!" Sora said, running towards him and pushed him to the ground.
Matt touched his ached head. A warm liquid trickle down his face. He opened his eyes to see the girl crying her tears falling down to his face. He curled his eyebrow and stared at the girl, confused. The girl was inches away from him. The warmth of her body penetrated through his metal armor making his cold body hot. Their nose was brushing against each other as he could feel her hot breath on his cheeks. He stared at her pink luscious lips, his face slowly redden at their closeness. Her beautiful carnelian eyes close as their lips met. Matt abruptly stammered to his feet and backed away from the girl. Matt blinked and his dull gray eyes turned into an bewitching the crystalline blue
"Sora?" His voice sore and resonant
Sora stared at him with bewildered eyes.
Then a voice whispered at him behind his mind.
"Bring me Siren! And killed the other mortal fools!"
With another blink his eyes turned a dull gray. Matt seek out the surrounding for his victim, he swing his hand upon the unconscious body of Mr. Arai and the others .Mrs. Takenouchi collapse on top of her son. Their body jerked up as their essence ruthlessly being pulled out of their body. The bright light of their essence collected into a sphere inside Matt's secure palm.
Sora looked in horror as her family and friends lay unconscious on the forest floor. An in a flash, a bright light exploded throughout the forest lighting up the darkness of the night. The residence of the forest clattered at the sudden disturbance. Matt covered his eyes with hand to protect it from the bright light. Matt yelled in pain as his other hand is being force open. The sphere floated out of his hand and steered itself to Sora.
She was in a trance, somebody else is taking over her body… but who? With a stir of her hand, a legion of plant rise from the soil and engulfed the body of her family and Mr. Karim making a coffin for them. Sora hovered above them and cast a spell as their lifeless body slowly encased by the sphere of their essence. The rosy tint of their cheeks filled their faces, but it wasn't enough. She had to find away to revive them soon… or they'll remain as lifeless corpse for eternity. The light gradually disappeared as Sora dropped down on her knees.
Matt seeing the Sora at a defenseless point charge upon her with Quetazolt. He bends down from the creature and snatched her off the ground. He placed her over his shoulder and commands the creature to fly toward the shrine of the Goddess Shiva.
