[Scene: A forest clearing at what used to be Blackmoon Cove. Zoi is talking with a skull headed phantom.]

Wiseman: I did not expect to see you here.

Zoi: I...live not too far from here.

Wiseman: You're right. Still, I didn't expect... When I found that Metalia's house was empty, I thought you had left.

Zoi: Oh... they did leave.

Wiseman: Hmmm...I'm surprised they left you behind. Like an old pet they couldn't bring into their new home.

Zoi: [still unnerved to be talking to something straight out of the haunted mansion] Yeah, something like that.

Wiseman: Hmm...Do they visit here often?

[The question sounds a little too casual. Zoi is feeling uneasy. Like a worm being pulled from the ground to be placed on a fishing hook.]

Zoi: Now and again... The time seems longer to me, I imagine. You know how they get distracted...

Wiseman: Hmmm...the house had been vacant for a while...you must learn to lie better than that, Zoisite.

Zoi: [blinks] Why would I lie?

Wiseman: Why indeed? To keep me from bothering your sister and your brothers, I suppose? They can be so touchy...yes, I remember those four youngsters well. They have such violent tempers.

Zoi: Do they really?

Wiseman: Mm-Hmm. They won't be happy about this.

Zoi: About what?

Wiseman: About me killing you.

[Zoi backs away]

Zoi: Is that supposed to be a joke?

Wiseman: Not at all. I've been looking forward to your murder for months now. I would have like to have killed the Shitennou all at once... But you're here...alone...

[Wiseman advances and Zoi backs away faster]

Wiseman: I would take you as my hostage, but I think your death would draw your brothers to me just as quickly. I'm not going to make the same mistakes my worshippers made.

Zoi: Your...worshippers?

Wiseman: The Black Moon Clan.

Zoi: Oh! You're the Death Phantom!

Wiseman: They were my people. And your brothers killed them. All because of you.

[Zoi backs away even faster]

Wiseman: Do you know what it is like to be the god of nobody who is still alive?

Zoi: No.

Wiseman: This is not the revenge I had imagined. I'd wanted your brothers to watch you die again. Then again, you must not mean very much to them if they left you here all alone.

Zoi: [nervous] I know who you are. Demande Blackmoon told me about you. You're not nearly as strong as Metalia. She will know it was you. You won't get away with this.

Wiseman: How will she know anything happened? A Shitennou does not leave a corpse, so nobody will find your body. You'll simply go missing, like so many other humans. Your brothers won't know what happened to you, until it is their turn to go missing as well.

[Zoi tries to teleport away, but finds he can't. The fabric of reality has become too dense for him to tear through.]

Wiseman: Don't be afraid. This will be quick. You won't feel a thing. I promise. But if you knew what I have planned for your brothers...[shakes his head sadly]...you'd be thanking me for this mercy.

Zoi: ZOI!

[A wave of flower petal flies at Wiseman, which he absorb harmlessly into his body.

Wiseman: You are attacking me with Dark Energy? [chuckling] How quaint. Don't you realize that's a bit like throwing snowballs at a blizzard?

[Zoi backs away quickly and summons a fireball. He hurls it at Wiseman, but it washes over the phantom with no effect at all]

Wiseman: Foolish infant. I am a god of chaos. I am made of the same energy you are attacking me with. I can absorb your attacks right into myself. Just as I can absorb the very flesh from your body.

[Wiseman stretching out his hand and Zoi feels his flesh being sucked away into a vortex]

Zoi: KUNZITE!

Wiseman: Yes, scream. Scream for your brother. Summon him here so that I can kill him too.

[Then Wiseman whips his head around, an instant before a red rose comes flying out of nowhere, breaking the vortex between them.]

Wiseman: I don't believe it.

[Zoi looks and sees Mamoru, stand in a battle stance on the bough of a sequoia, at the other side of the clearing.]
