Chapter 6: An unexpected visitor

Dante's and Sophie's house, Venice

Next day the Huntik team was busy with their new mystery.
Sophie and Zhalia searched through the Casterwell library for information about the Bloodspiral, while Dante searched in a foundation library for information about the two legendary titans of life.
Lock's task was to search through Eathon's holotome and diary again for more clues.

At the end of the day they shared their findings.
They were sitting in Dante's living room, with the sword in front of them on the table.

"So, Sophie and Zhalia, have you found anything about the Bloodspiral?" Dante asked.

"We have searched through almost every book, but we've found nothing specific about the Bloodspiral. But came across the word a few times and it's sure that whatever this Bloodspiral is, it's nothing good." Sophie answered.

"It seems to me that the Bloodspiral has been some kind of enemy from the Casterwell family for ages." Zhalia added.

"If this organization still exists we must be careful, if they find out we have this sword I'm sure they want to steal it." Dante said.

"What have you discovered Dante?" Cherit asked.

"Strangely enough absolutely nothing. According to the foundation library those two titans don't even exist." Dante answered.

"Well they do exist. In my father's diary I found coordinates and a little note about a ruin in Greece. Seems like my father couldn't get in, but it contains some kind of object which is connected with those two titans!" Lock said.

"Maybe it's another sword, that is the key to the other titan!" Sophie said enthusiastically.

" Then I think our next step is to go to that ruin…" Dante said.

Suddenly they heard voices in Dante's backyard.

The team quickly grabbed the sword and ran outside, to the backyard.

They saw the intruders. A pale, creepy women with green hair, and a just as pale, but even more creepy, muscular, black- haired man.

"O o those two we've seen before." Lock said.

A third person appeared from the shadows.

"Rassinov!" Dante said.

"Ah good, you haven't forgotten about me Mr. Vale. May I introduce you to my loyal sister and brother, Shauna and Wind." Rassinov said.

"What do you want ?"

"Nothing special, just that beautiful sword."

Suddenly Dante understood something.
"You are the Bloodspiral."

"Bravo, now you know that, you understand that we will do anything to get that sword, and that we won't stop till' the world is ours."

"Not as long as we're around!" Sophie said.
"Icarus teach them a lesson!"

Shauna and Wind smiled.
"Ash!"
"Shakrit!"

Zhalia and Lock also summoned their titans.
"Gareon!"
"Freelancer!"

Dante aligned himself to Rassinov.
"Hyperstrike!"

"Dubbelspell" "Augerfrost"
Shauna evaded Sophie's attack.
"To slow!" "Raypulse"
Sophie quickly blocked the attack with honorguard.

She wanted to fire a new spell to Shauna but couldn't see her anywhere.
Suddenly she was right behind her, and gave her a hard kick in the back.

Sophie fell on the ground.
"Stupid Casterwell, you're lucky Rassinov ordered me to let you live…. .Aaaaah!"

Zhalia had used Touchram on Shauna.

In the mean time Lock fought with Wind but it didn't went very well.
Wind threw him against the wall, and ran towards his sister to help her.

Zhalia didn't saw him coming, and he quickly twisted her arms behind her back.
She couldn't free herself from his grip.
"You're coming with us honey." He said.

"Zhalia!"
Dante looked at Zhalia and Rassinov used this distraction to give him a hard kick.
Dante fell on the ground.
"Now give me the sword!"
"Lock, catch!"

Dante quickly threw the sword at Lock, who just came upright.
Lock was still a bit dizzy from the blow but was able to catch the sword.

On that moment Gareon appeared behind Wind and hit him with an energy- beam.
Wind let go of Zhalia, who kicked him right in the face.
Blood gushed over his face.
"You bitch, you broke my nose."

The teams regrouped.

"Shauna, Wind, it's time to go." Russinov said.
He summoned some kind of magical gateway.

"We'll be back, this was just a foretaste."

The three of them stepped through the gateway, and disappeared.

"Sophie are you okay?" Lock asked at Sophie.

"Yeah I'm fine, my back hurts like hell but it's nothing serious." She answered.

Dante put his arm around Zhalia.
"How are you feeling?"

She chuckled.
"I feel fine, but that guy called Wind… not so much."
Dante smiled.

"You know I really wonder what those creeps wanted of you Zhalia…" Lock said.

Two days later, Dante's house

The team was sitting in Dante's living room, ready to go on their next mission to Greece.

Suddenly somebody knocked on the door.

"I'll get it!" Sophie said.

She walked to the door and opened it.

In front of her stood a tall man.
He was wearing dark- grey jeans, a red shirt with v neck-piece, and a black leather jacket.
He had a very pale skin, short black hair, an eyebrow piercing, and familiar gold- brown eyes.

"Hey, I'm Zane Moon, I'm looking for my sister…"

I bet you didn't see that one coming ;-)
