CHAPTER 30

(ZERO'S P.O.V)

"You got to check out this new manga Zero," Staz rambled on in excitement. "It's called Big O, and the protagonist has a badass robot that he fights crime with." Staz continued to gush on, as he showed me the manga. "I'll check it out later," I answered handing it back to him.

"How come you're in such a good mood?," I frowned in suspicion. He usually was excited when he got new manga, but there was something else going on here. Suddenly the manga was blocking his face, as he pretended to read. "What are you talking about Zero," Staz stated from behind the manga.

"I'm always happy when I get new manga." "Whatever you say," I said not buying his act. "If I didn't know better, I would think that Yui and you finally hooked up…" I glanced at Staz just in time to see him lower the manga to stare at me, his pale face turning red.

"Hey guys," Yui's voice was suddenly heard, as she approached us, and sat next to Staz. (They are in their usual spot on the roof.) "Hi Yui," I said in a sing song voice, as my grin grew wider. I glanced from Staz to Yui finally understanding what was going on here.

"Uh Zero is something wrong?," Yui asked staring at me confused. "You've been smiling like that for more than a minute." "Oh it's a funny joke I just remembered," I replied keeping my eyes on Staz, who was still red in the face as he avoided my gaze.

Well I'll be damned…

That explains his strange behavior yesterday. I had casually asked Staz yesterday, how he spent his afternoon, since I was running some errands. He kept blushing and responded that he had done nothing.

Yui hooking up with Staz…

I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Yui," I stated nonchalantly, as I turned to her. It was time to put joking aside, and get down to business. "I hate to be the one to say this, but it's time you tell us what you saw in the mirror of the Great Beyond."

(YUI'S P.O.V)

My gaze dropped into my lap, as I flinched. I was hoping this would never come up. I didn't want to recall those frightening images. "I-I," I stuttered as I closed my eyes to recall what I saw. "I saw Ayato transform into some sort of beast. His appearance was bizarre, he looked part dragon and vampire." I stated opening my eyes.

Staz and Zero said nothing, as they exchanged worried glances. "He had a red aura surrounding him, he was also using a golden bracelet to cause destruction around him."

"Wait What!," Staz exclaimed spinning around to look at me in surprise.

"Describe the bracelet," Staz said, as his eyes widened in fear. "It was made of gold," I explained. This was the first time I saw Staz so freaked out, and it made me worry. "It was the strangest bracelet I had ever seen, it was the shape of a triangle with a…"

I paused wondering if I should really tell them what I saw next. "With a what Yui?," Zero inquired curious now. I glanced at Staz, who stared back at me who seemed to be bracing for what came next. "An actual human eye staring back at me…"

(STAZ'S P.O.V)

"Fuck!," I swore as I smashed my fist into the ground in anger. "It's the hand of Horus." I explained as I sat there staring up into the night's sky blankly. "It's a very powerful and ancient bracelet. It was made in the time when the Egyptians ruled. A powerful demon by the name of Ephorus had it in his possession. The demon made a deal with the demon king, who ruled at the time, he would protect the king, and his kingdom, if the demon king made the Gods make the bracelet into a powerful weapon."

"What weapon was that?," Zero questioned. "It made any demon, creature or vampire into the ultimate warrior. His wish was granted. No enemy could defeat the kingdom, until the tables were turned." "What happened?," Yui asked eagerly. "One of the comrades in his army planned to overthrow him as leader. Luckily he suspected and separated the eye from the bracelet.

You see the bracelet can't work without the eye and vice versa. He kept the bracelet, and hid the eye in an unknown location. When the enemy overthrow his army, and killed him they found the bracelet, only to realize they only had one piece. Legend has it whoever finds both pieces, and put them back together would be unstoppable…"

"So you think that Laito may be after the hand of Horus…" Zero whispered, as his eyes widened in realization. "It's possible," Staz answered distantly. I remained silent, as I stared at the ground in anger. "The demon was a relative to you wasn't he?," Yui asked suddenly.

"Yeah he was," I answered not looking up at her.

(ZERO'S P.O.V)

This was just fucking great.

As if we didn't have enough on our plates…

"Yui is Laito at school today?," I suddenly asked. "No, he told his brothers that he had some business to take care of." Yui explained. "So it's possible he he's gone looking for the hand of Horus," I stood up immediately. "Let's hope he hasn't already found it," Staz said standing up as well.

"Yui is there anything else that you think, that you might have seen in the Great Beyond." I questioned. "Come to think of it, before I saw all those images, I saw myself standing in front of a cathedral. The strangest thing was written on the door. I think it said our king is dead." Yui recalled.

"I know that cathedral!." I exclaimed. "My extensive research on the Land of the Lost mentioned that there were several cathedrals, but only one had a strange marking on the door, with those very words. It's on the island called the Black hole. It should take us three hours to get there!." "Wait!,," Yui exclaimed in surprise.

"We're leaving now?!." "We're going, and YOU are going to class." Staz corrected Yui causing her to fold her hands and glare at him. "Fine," she said putting bag on her shoulder. As we floated off the ground, to head off to the Black hole, with the fate of Yui and the human world on our shoulders.

(LAITO'S P.O.V0

I smiled as the figure that was walking towards me from a distance was finally in front of me. I was pleased that he was on time. After studying the Land of the Lost, I finally found what my father wanted me to find. "This is the hand of Horus." Seiji Komori said handing me the box.

"Well done Seiji," I smiled handing him a small bag. "Oh I called the gatekeeper and everything is arranged for when you go back to the underworld. You'll disappear without a trace." "Give Lord Heinz my respects," he said walking away.

Seiji you're such a fool…

I had no intention of helping my father. He could rot in the underground cage for all I care. Now that I know about the hand of Horus, and what it is capable of, I could kill two birds with one stone. As soon as I find the eye, I was going to become the head of the family, and take my future bride all in one shot.

I could only imagine my father's face, when he realized I betrayed him. It's a shame I wouldn't see it.

The look would be priceless…

I wasn't worried about his rage, even if he found a way out I would just destroy him with the hand.

I FELT POWERFUL…

I FELT UNSTOPPABLE…

I couldn't wait to show the world what I could do.
