Before they get far, X and Zero are ambushed by DZ and Zorza.
[DZ]I knew you'd try something foolish. *snaps his fingers*
[Zorza]*rushes foward and impales Zero with his arm again. As he does this, he grabs the bow of Magma which X was holding and it begins to glow*
[DZ]I can't have you interfereing any longer. *opens a dark portal* I shall send you to the bottom of the ocean. Perhaps that will stop your meddling.
Zorza throws Zero and X through the portal and hands the bow to somebody in the shadows before they all 3 disappear...
The group journeys to the deepest basement of the ruins. Inside a large room covered with dust, they find a large sphere hovering above a alter. On each side of it are indentations shaped like the elemental weapons. 3 of those very items are already in place. Before anyone can do anything, Carth and Sarama sneak attack Amaster and his group. Meanwhile, DZ appears with Maria who holds the Bow of Magma and has the dark mark on her forhead.
[Mangetsu]Curse you Amek! You shall release my children!
[DZ]In due time old fool.
[Mangetsu]Stop this madness at once Amek!
[DZ]I have waited for nearly 2 decades to regain my lost body. I will not be stopped by anyone. Destroy them!
Minos, Dionia and Katos appear. They attack the group who barely managed to fend them off. Maria, Cath and Sarama escort DZ to the sphere. Maria then inserts the Bow of Magma into its crevice. The sphere shatters and reveals Ameks body, levitating above the alter. His sould leaves Zapper's body and enters his own. With a burst of Dark Aura he tosses the whole party to the ground with ease. He and his servants then leave.
*Some time later*
Zapper awakens in the medical wing of the palace with Mangetsu, Zombie and Kara.
[Zapper]What has happened since I left for my journey? And who are you?
[Mangetsu]You were possessed by Amek, a dark being who was sealed within your mind when you were born when he tried to kill you. I am your father, Mangetsu Zataka.
[Zapper]Where have you been all these years? Where is my mother? And for that matter where are my siblings?
[Zombie]We'll inform you later about your mom. Right now your siblings are under Ameks control. He's made a fortress appear above the Sea of Seigi. As it stands, the only people available to assist us are Kura, Ryoga, Amaster, RM, Ganon and Shadowlink. X and Zero were found washed up on the shore some time ago and should be fully recovered soon. Haganeha is also ready to assist.
A gorgeous female demon enters the room follwoed by a male demon clad in armor weilding a spear.
[Demoness]Guess who!
[Mangetsu]Empress Zirada! And Yaliv! What are you doing here?
[Yaliv]My empress and I are here to assist in defeating Amek.
[Zirada]That's right! That old coot had better think twice before messing with the Goddess of Death's favorite prince!~
[Zapper] :sweat: I appreciate the help.
Aoihana and Korc enter the room along with Chiyome and Yomiko.
[Aoihana]We're here to help, too!
Korc]Where Aoihana goes, so do I.
[Chiyome]My sword is at your command.
[Yomiko]I can't let you go alone. You could get hurt.
[Zapper]Thank you all. Now let's go right this wrong!
