Chapter 6

Holding the Key of Ardor and the Legendary lack Ninja returns.

Danzo knew he had to hurry to the doorway, But then he saw Pincer attacking him again, and was forced to fight him to the death. He struck with every ounce of power until the Spider Youma was forced to retreat once again. Then, he struck down more Youma lying in wait, with Team Crimson helping him to the bedroom, as he still held the key in his hands.

Finally they reached the room and placed the key into the slot as the Sun turned and revealed a new passage for them to enter. After progressing through more corridors they found themselves outside of the Castle where they saw the gates closing around them.

"Everybody get ready," he said to his friends.

Team Crimson nodded and readied themselves for battle. Then they saw Pincer emerge engulfed in flames.

"Recess time is over fools! Here there's plenty of room to get real nasty. This time there's no holding back." he roared loudly.

Danzo smirked at his foe.

"Finally. I was getting tired of playing your childish games," he said.

Homura and the others agreed as she and Danzo unleashed an all assault on their foe. Pincer grimaced at the attack but, he came prepared as Mirai jumped back and attacked with all her weapons in hand. Danzo changed into his Youma form and launched attack after attack that easily defeated his foe.

Pincer screamed in pain and agony, until he fell through a glass window behind him and was impaled on a spike below. He cried out in agony which Mirai believed to be beautiful music to her ears.

"You… you're not just any ordinary human. What are you?" Pincer cried out in pain.

Danzo glared at him until Pincer saw the truth.

"No… the legendary Sato…!? It can't be..." Pincer gasped in his final throes of death.

"You're right, I'm his son, Danzo. Sweet dreams," he called to his fallen foe.

Below Tina saw what just happened.

"He defeated Pincer… Incredible power…" she said softly, before she left.

The gates opened, and soon Danzo and Team Crimson raced through and emerged on another part of the castle. Then they dropped down into a courtyard and picked up a Trident to hold onto for the rest of the trek. They jumped down through a hole in the ground, activated a mechanism which lowered the drawbridge, and picked up a Grenade gun. After dropping down another trapdoor they emerged in a familiar area and placed the trident in a slot in front of a screaming face on the wall. Pulling down the makeshift lever, Water began to flow and open a gate behind them granting them passage to their next objective. Quickly fighting their way through several youma, they managed to reach the front door of the Castle and emerged outside near the drawbridge.
