8 - 3

The Spider Enigma crawled its way to Raimei and stared at her intensely. Raimei slightly lifted her head up, barely being able to look at the Enigma.

Suddenly, rain began to fall as it dripped onto Raimei, dripped onto the Enigmas, dripped on Mary and dripped on the lifeless corpse of Zukafu.

The Enigma roared and swung its leg to attack but Raimei would dodge this attack and proceed to take down the other Enigmas before fleeing.

The Spider Enigma tried to stop her but it was too late and it roared angrily, however it would later turn to where the corpse of Zukafu was and walk up to it. Seeing this, Mary endured the severe pain and she hastily ran to shield Zukafu from the Enigma.

The Spider Enigma was about to attack when Luna appeared, shouting "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" As she used her cannon to shoot at the Spider Enigma, causing them to move back.

Luna lept in front of Mary and knelt down to see her brothers broken face.

She was left in shock by what she believed the Spider Enigma had done and she wanted revenge for her brother.

"Hey a-hole!" Shouted Naoya as he appeared from above and pierced his spear into the Spider Enigma's head, causing it to roar in pain. Naoya lept back and landed beside Luna and Mary and was horrified by his brothers corpse. Filled with anger, he muttered "Bastard!"

The Spider Enigma recovered quickly and was prepared to kill Naoya and Luna.

The two remaining Kami siblings got ready to battle with Naoya saying "I am going to rip you INTO SHREDS!" with his voice becoming louder, causing it to break. The two then charged in and together, the Spider Enigma stood no chance against them unlike before.

Naoya managed to cut off the lower half leg of the spiders legs while Luna managed to keep the Spider Enigma distracted by shooting at its eyes and upon Naoya cutting off the final lower half leg, the Spider Enigma fell to the ground, partially immovable.

"This is it!" Shouted Naoya.

"For Takehaya!" Said the two Kami's in unison but as they were about to deal the killing blow, a giant red hand bursted out of nowhere from the sky and slapped Naoya and Luna away from the Spider Enigma, landing them beside Mary.

"What the hell?!" Said Naoya, puzzled.

They all looked up at the red arm as it forced itself to break open the barrier that keeps it from wherever it may be. Another giant red arm appears, making it easier for the unknown entity to allow its full body to cross through but that is all it can do as its lower half was tightly stuck.

The entity revealed itself to be a giant skeletal being with long lucious and admiring hair with its eyes appearing small yet having a bigger beam from deep in its skull. Its clothes appeared in traditional japanese bride attire with symbols that are in some form of language.

The entity then speaks with its voice being a mixture of deep and menacing also being femenine and manipulative, first to the Spider Enigma, "I instructed you to find the leader of the traitors! And yet, you've fail me again!"

It then sees Zukafu's dead corpse and says "But what is this? My precious!" It then reached its arm to grab Zukafu.

"Hey!" Shouted Mary, "Let go of him-"

"Silence mortal!" Shouted the entity. They then examine Zukafu from his body to his scent, saying "It truly is him!"

The entity then turns to the Spider Enigma and says "Well done! It seems you haven't failed at your tasks after all!"

"Not so fast!" Shouted Naoya as he lept up with his spear in his hand and charging towards the entity.

"Do not interfere, half breed!" Said the entity as it sent a strong wave of wind at Naoya, causing him to fall back.

"Oh no you don't!" Shouted Naoya as he hastily used his spear onto the entities hand, causing it to drop Zukafu.

The entity shouts, "No!"

Luna went and rescued Zukafu's body after she jumped up. "Got him!" Said Luna as she then lands on the ground with Naoya following her behind, although he lands on his back. She looked fixes her brothers hair for reasons unneccesary.

"You will hand him back!" Screamed the entity, leading to a loud roar. "He... Is... Mine!!" Suddenly ink-like monsters appear and the entity instructs them to capture Zukafu. The entity then turns to the Spider Enigma and shouts, "Up your feet fool!"

The entity grows new spider legs onto the Enigma, causing it to rise.

"RUN!" Shouted Luna as she lept up with Zukafu in her arms.

Naoya grabbed Mary and he lept into the air with her as together, the three flee from their hunters.

ELSEWHERE

Zukafu's body appears on an almost destroyed pathway with the ground beneath him smeared in deep fog and dust. He wakes up and finds himself back in this place. He stood up and looked around, wondering what will happen.

"Hello?" Said Zukafu, his voice echoing everywhere.

"The Warrior Returns." Said an echoey deep voice.

Zukafu turns around and comes face to face with a living metal being whose face is shrouded by the light, as they sit on a stone throne.

"Its... You..." said Zukafu, sounding as if he knows who this metallic being is.

"You... Do not remember me?" Asked the faceless metallic being. "Do you not know why you are here?"

Zukafu responds, "I remember... Fighting my best friend but then..." he realised what happened to him afterwards, "... I died..."

"Correct." Said the faceless metallic being. "Then you must know why you are here..."

Suddenly, Zukafu finds chains looked onto his feet that lead to whatever may lie beneath the fog. He attempted to move but unsuccessful.

"Forgive me... But you must remain in here until she can find it." Said the metallic being.

"Find what?" Asked Zukafu.

The faceless metallic being doesnt speak and instead just stares at him.

BACK IN IZA ISLAND

Mary, Naoya and Luna continued to flee from the entity and its chasers while protecting Zukafu's body with Naoya and Luna using their weapons to eliminate the weaker enemies.
