"Why do we did to go to Cypress?" asked Lina.
"Because that's where the Spirit tile is; and with that tile Loki can call to him any loose tile, namely the ones we got, to him and we would be powerless to stop it." groaned Asim; power suction and being thrown up against a wall just wasn't a good combination.
~`* So they're off to Cypress. Meanwhile Loki was setting up his finally plan; a.k.a.: setting up one powerful Spirit Shamanist with a tile. ~`*
When they reached the temple everything was quiet, that eerie kind of quiet, the kind of quiet where you know things-are-going-to-wrong, add the fact that the place was empty and everyone on edge. Everyone that is but Xellos who left kind of suddenly early this day. The group walked carefully into the temple, being in full guard mode when, the doors slammed shut behind them as evil laughter rang though out the chamber.
"I was being to wonder when you would show up?" Loki stated as he walked out of the shadows that hanged around the entrance way. While Ahriman prowled up to them from the alter.
"Great" growled Lina "I was hoping for some action."
"Then I won't dissssappoint you," replied Ahriman while looking like Lina.
"What!" was the general statement of the group.
"You know what to do Ahriman, as for you," Loki said as he faded in grabbed a stunned Asim by the neck and then faded out of the group and placing himself close to the alter "I need you to open a tile for me."
"In your dreams pal, there's no way I'm going to help you," Asim chocked while struggling to get free.
"Asim," cried Amelia only to get cut off by herself.
"Don't you thhhhink you ssshould deal withhhhh your own demonssss firsssst?" it laughed at her.
"Why you," she swung at it only to miss.
Ahriman neatly duck below her fits and head butted her in the stomach, causing her buckle under the sudden lost of air.
"Lina?" Gourry asked.
" I know, I can't tell them apart either," she shouted back at him.
So it was, much to Ahriman pleasure, he transform in and out of their forms sending them into a state of complete confuse.
Meanwhile Loki was kindly showing Asim where the tile was.
"You do know how this works don't you?" he asked
"I think I skipped this one," was the reply
"Then let me refresh your memory," he said as he shoved Asim up against one of the pliers "In order to release the last tile you need to be a strong Spirit Shaman. For you see this tile requires a taste of your 'spirit energy' in order to be released." He paused here to listen to Asim's cries of pain as the tile drained that power from him "Luckily for me the energy doesn't have to be give willingly, won't you agree?"
Asim had stop yelling now, and the light that had surround him faded away. Loki smiled at the limb form in his hand, the faint touch of air on his hand told him that his captive was still alive.
"Ahriman!" Loki cried out
With that the Displacer shifted shape once more and while doing so he throw out a handful of vials filled with something.
"Knock out gas," Lina managed to get out before falling victim to it's fumes like the rest of her party.
"Good work, Ahriman, we'll take them back with us, they make great toys for the mistress when she wakes up." Loki smiled at our unconscious heroes.

When Lina woke up she found herself in a small cell along with her friends who were also just waking up from the gas.
"Where are we?" she asked.
"It's nice to see your wake at last," replied a very pale looking Asim "To answer your question, I have no clue, but" he pause to reveal a set of thieves tools "I do have a way to get out of this cell so we can learn more about our where about."
Lina gave him a smile "Well what are you waiting for, let's go!"
Outside the cell the roamed around for awhile, until they came upon a large chamber with a purple crystal inside it.
"I'm so glade you came," called Loki from behind them "Your just in time."
"For what?" asked Lina.
Her answer came as the crystal began to pulse with light, and hummed. The humming quickly grow louder and louder until it reached an deafening tone, then in a shower of light and dust there came a voice.
"For my rain of pain to being."
There standing in the remains of the crystal stood a young woman, her midnight black hair hanging just above the waist line, her eyes where like staring into two empty voids, and all around her hang an aura of complete destruction, it was one to would have made Death, himself, groan as realized the work load she would cause him to have.
All the while one thought ranged though Asim's head "I could have turned into this, if only I had given in."
The woman laughed "Looks like I get to start things off with Four weakling humans. You should feel honored you'll be the first people I'll have killed in ages." Smiled as she walked towards them.
Asim took this opportunity to yawn.
"Do you think you are better then me, human?" she sneered at him.
Asim looked at her then let his eye wonder off to the side and nodded to himself.
"I'm flattered but, who said I was human?" he smiled as is form changed shape slowly melting to revile his true form, who he really was; standing in his normal beige travel suit was Zelgadis. "And as much as would like to talk to you some more I think we need to get going. SUN LIGHT!"
With that there was a flash was a bright light that filled the room and when it left so to was the captive. All that was lifted behind was the sent of two dragons and a mazoku. Nemesse smiled, she knew that they would meet again and then she would kill them, but as for now she had to decide where her first killing spree would take place. _______________________________________________________________________ Mouse- There finished, (with these two chapters) see Zel lives.
