"When will you stop pursuing the sutras?" asked Sanzo. "I will not give it to you."

Kougaiji was silent, apparently weighing his options.

"I need the darn sutra to get my mother back, understand?" yelled the prince. Kougaiji's thoughts were once again at the room where his mother lies- sealed by Gyuumao's nefarious wife.

"I don't understand." Said Sanzo, lighting another cigarette. I don't really remember my mother. Kougaiji snapped from his trance. As the wind blew between them, there was another disturbing quiet.

The silence was broken.

Before the four boys know it, Kougaiji was chanting, eyes closed and brow bent in concentration. There was a loud shout from Kougaiji, and a flaming dragon rushed into the direction of Sanzo's party. Gojyo thought he would be roasted cockroach in a matter of seconds. Goku didn't like the idea that he would be toast monkey, either. So they braced themselves. After a few seconds, they did not even feel the heat of the flame.

The flame didn't even reach them. Hakkai created a force field, shielding them from the inevitable disaster.

Sanzo took out his revolver. "Get out of our way"

So the four boys attacked Kougaiji. Goku screamed "NYOIBO!", and a magical staff appeared in his hand, Gojyo materialized a strange, sickle-like weapon in his hand. Hakkai has throwng energy balls at the demon prince while Sanzo, well, he did virtually nothing but miss shots, sending stray bullets into his allies.

"Watch it!" yelled Gojyo. Apparently, a bullet got shot into his behind.

After quite a long time of fightning, Kougaiji was down, He tried to stand up again, but when he did so, He fell into the edge of a sheer cliff. The four boys gazed in horror.

'Is-is he dead?" asked Goku.
