It didn't take long to find a lift underneath the kingdom known as Viperia.
"This is how they send their ground troops. We ride it up and it should take us to their castle." Bartolomeo said.
"Alright. Lead us." Leia said as they got on the lift as they were carried up to the castle, unaware they were spotted.
"Uh...queen Golbat...those Dimensional Heroes have arrived." Monferno said looking at the screens.
"Good...let them into the castle." Golbat said. "Monferno, I understand that you have a bone to pick with the girl in the hat. The girl with that Salazzle is mine. Something about her intrigues me."
The five soon broke down the doors.
"Weird...you think they would have had guards posted at the door." Bartolomeo said.
"This could be some kind of trap. Keep your guard up." Mayumi said.
"Trap. Why does that….oh crap. I just remembered why there were no guards. This whole floor is a…." Cavendish said before it opened. "Trap door!" he shouted as he, Nina, Leia and Bartolomeo fell through as Mayumi and Salazzle held onto the sides they soon hear a thud.
"Are you guys okay?" Mayumi asked.
"Yeah, but it was a big drop. I don't think we'll be able to get up there." Leia said.
"Just find another route and make your way back up here." Salazzle said.
"Will do. You two should watch yourselves as well." Cavendish said. "Hmm. I don't see Lomeo or Leia. That means the door leads to two different rooms."
"So...there come two intruders into my realm." A voice said as a ghostly figure with floating hands appeared. "I am Haunter, this kingdom's top general."
"!" Nina gasped in fright as she backed behind Cavendish while pulling out her staff.
"Oi! Cabbage! Mute girl! Where are you? We've gotten split up." Bartolomeo said.
"That trap door must've separated us. We need to find a route back to the others." Leia said.
"But why would you do that?" a voice asked as they saw Monferno standing on a pole. "Besides...I'm here as your executioner."
"Somehow I'm not surprised you'd be here." Leia said.
"Yeah. I remember this well and this is lame." Bartolomeo said.
"Hey! This entrance is as cool as heck!" Monferno shouted. "Nevermind. I'm still gonna get rid of you both."
"Let's not waste any time, then." Leia said as she got out her staff.
"Flame Wheel!" Monferno said burning in a wheel shape as he lunged at Leia who jumped.
"Eagle's Rage!" Leia called as she kicked two disks of water at Monferno, then launches herself with the aura of a falling meteor. The two collided as the two jumped back.
"Grr. Fire Punch!" Monferno said retaliating with a flaming punch.
"Barrier!" Bartolomeo said making a barrier, blocking the punch, hurting Monferno.
"Ahhh! Man that hurts!" Monferno shouted.
"Whew… Thanks for the save." Leia said.
"Of course, Leia senpai!" Bartolomeo said.
"Grrr. Enough damage has been dealt. It's time." Monferno said as his flames burned brighter. "Blaze is active!" he shouted.
"Blaze… an ability that pumps up fire type moves when low of energy." Leia said. "I'll have to finish this now."
"I'll be the one finishing this!" Monferno shouted. "Flamethrower!" he shouted as fire was breathed out.
Leia took a deep breath before she strikes Monferno with a spin, then dashes past him, leaving five earth pits in her wake. "Linked Explosion!" she called as the pits explode with earth and fire.
"I...I can't lose." Monferno said weakly. "I will not…' he said before Bartolomeo knocked him out with a punch.
"You're done." Bartolomeo said.
On the other side…
"Beautiful Blade: Blue Bird!" Cavendish said trying to strike Haunter while avoiding falling into the poison pool below.
Nina casted Crimson Flare, Absolute, and Thunder Blade in quick succession before casting Sharpness and Barrier onto Cavendish.
"You can cast all the magic you want...but it does no good." Haunter said vanishing and reappearing at will. "Now...let's put you both to sleep. Hypnosis!" Haunter said sending out psychic energies. Cavendish blocked the attack meant for Nina as he fell asleep and fell to the ground.
Nina gasped in shock before giving Haunter a glare.
"Hahaha...what's wrong? Scared? Don't worry. I'll make sure to...huh?" Haunter said before Cavendish slowly rose up. "But...didn't I?" He said before Cavendish vanished and reappeared behind Haunter slashing him and defeating him.
Nina slowly walked up to Cavendish and tapped his shoulder only to see the face was more of a Phantom than the actual Cavendish as he rose his sword.
"Sorry...but Cavendish isn't here." He said before vanishing and attempting to slash her.
Nina immediately dodged out of the way as she slowly backed away holding her staff.
"Cut, kill, slice….cover this entire room in blood!" The figure said rushing at her at incredible speeds.
"No!" A voice yelled out as Halsemon swooped in and grabbed her. "Are you alright, Nina?"
"Hal...se...mon." Nina managed to say in relief.
"I'll cover this room in both your bloods!" The body said rushing both of them.
"Udjat Gaze!" Halsemon called out as he sent Hypnotic waves at the body causing it to collapse.
"That would work on Cavendish...but not on me!" The body said rising and rushing at them.
"Seems I will have to do it the hard way. Red Sun!" Halsemon called out as he fired laser beams from his eyes.
"Ha!" He said vanishing quickly before they hit.
"He's too fast." Halsemon said before the body was on top.
"Let's see you both die!" It said laughing before his left arm grabbed his right. "Let me go, Cavendish!"
"No..you can't kill them." Cavendish said as both were struggling.
"Cavendish!" Nina called out.
"Forgive me. But this other one is hard to control. I can't hold him back for long." Cavendish said.
"Come on! I've been wanting to slice someone up ever since joining with these people!" The other person said.
"Whoever you are...get out of Cavendish's body!" Nina yelled as her angel wings appeared and she fired a ray of light at Cavendish, knocking him out.
"Nina...I can still feel the other person in him." Halsemon said.
"It's fine." A voice said as Bartolomeo and Leia arrived as Bartolomeo started to chain up Cavendish. "I had a feeling this might happen."
"I take it things on your end went well?" Halsemon asked.
"Yep. Took him down." Leia said. "Now all that's left is Mayumi with Golbat."
"What about Cavendish?" Nina asked.
"He's done this before. According to great senpai Sabo, he's got another guy in his head called Hakuba, he's like a slicing wind. Hurt a lot of people in the Rommel Kingdom." Bartolomeo said.
"Multiple Personality Disorder it would seem." Leia said.
"Ah. Well I managed to knock him out, but what will happen?" Nina asked.
"He'll be back to his normal self when he wakes up. But…" Leia said.
"Yeah...I gotta keep him chained. Even when he goes to sleep we gotta chain him up." Bartolomeo said.
"Okay. Let's go help Mayumi and Salazzle." Nina said.
But it was too late for help as Mayumi and Salazzle had already reached Golbat's chamber.
"I figured at least one person would make it through." Golbat said.
"So, you're the ruler of this place?" Mayumi said.
"Yes. I am. I am Golbat." Golbat said. "The queen and master ninja among ninja masters."
"So it would seem. Well, for Salazzle's sake, we came here to defeat you." Mayumi said.
"I do not know of any Salazzle but...you shall be defeated. We begin." Golbat said taking to the air. "Air Cutter!" She shouted sending cutting waves down.
"It doesn't look like she noticed you." Mayumi said as they dodged.
"Then I'll just have to make her remember! Fire Blast!" Salazzle said as she fired a star-like flame at Golbat as it hit her.
"How dare you! Poison Fang!" She said flying down at Mayumi with fangs bared.
"Mayumi!" Salazzle called.
"Gh… Sorry… I got careless." Mayumi said. "Soul Fist!" she called as she launched a ball of energy that blasted Golbat off of her.
"Impressive...but...this is the attack to finish you. Poison is within you...so this should work. Venoshock!" Golbat said as poison spires went rushing for Mayumi before Salazzle used Poison Jab on Golbat.
"Mayumi...now is the time!" Salazzle shouted. "Finish this!"
"R-right. Astral Vision!" Mayumi said as an illusion of her appeared behind Golbat in Black Wing Armor. The two struck Golbat with rapid attacks before they kicked Golbat into the air and dealt uppercuts at her.
"I...fall." Golbat said as she fell to the ground.
"We...we did it." Salazzle said.
"Yeah, we did. Thanks...Salazzle." Mayumi said.
"I… I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to get you involved in this. I…" Salazzle said.
"There's no need. You are my Perfect Link. We always help each other out when times get tough." Mayumi said.
"Mayumi? Salazzle?" A voice called out as Nina approached with the others.
"Hey guys. A little late to the party." Mayumi said as she held her arm.
"You're hurt. Hold on." Nina said as she casted Recover and Cure on her wound.
"Whew… Thanks. I really needed that." Mayumi said.
"Well, I guess this means we're all done here." Leia said.
"All the kingdoms are done with. That only leaves Gospel." Bartolomeo said.
"Yep. Come on. Let's head back." Mayumi said.
The group soon returned to the Sunny as the victory party was well underway.
"Hard to believe but we're finally done with the kingdoms." Hope said.
"That's another mission checked off the list." Simon said while Spade was grabbing a plate of food.
"Strange we never found that last prisoner. Well...they gotta still be here somewhere." Jexi said.
"Yes, they have to turn up somewhere. We just have to keep looking." Camilla said.
"Yet somehow...I don't think this is the end." Jexi said. "I feel like something horrible is soon to happen."
