(Flood of lights start to glow from Yubari's hand and its effecting the creature. It looks a bit in pain but then its back to normal) Yubari : Yuk Sha!! Its your turn!! Yuk Sha nods his head and orders Niku to fly closer to the creature. Yubari jumps back to Nene's back.

The creature then throw more fire from its mouth to Yuk Sha who is coming closer to it. Yuk Sha manage to dodge. Yuk Sha swing his staff and throw it to the creature soon after. It hits the creature's chest and cut the creature from chest to head. Yubari sneer...as usual Yuk Sha with his expression-less face fly back to Gregoria city to gain the 4th Central Stone.

Alto : ...It was two of em...two kids...one with long hair and the other one short haired. I know where they are now... Yubari : Where then? Alto : Somewhere over that mountain...(pointing at the mountain with a cave that is visible to those who take a glance at it) Yubari take one of the stones that they have gathered till now and hold the stone to confirm the exact location of the 4th Central Stone. He hold it right in front of the mountain and its glowing. Yubari : I guess we hit the target. Alto : Wait! Did i tell u before there was two kids claimed that the stone was theirs...

Yuk Sha : ...I told u...we dun usually do any favor for others... Alto :.....But u sometimes do...isn't it?... Yuk Sha : .... Then they were brought to the town in the city to look for some food.

Yubari : Face faults... Yuk Sha glare at the kid for a while from the back. Alto realize he's being watched by Yuk Sha and turn his head to see Yuk Sha...Yuk Sha still targeting his eyes over Alto. Somehow Alto blushes and turn his head back to front and walk straight towards his house. Alto's residence looks almost like a very small cottage with a bedroom and a bathroom. Neat but small tho... Alto : Welcome to my...small...house...ehehe...Sorry... Yubari : (Sweat drops) no..no...s'okay...ahah... Yuk Sha : ....U look suspicious from the very start kid...

Ever since my parents died...I ran away! Yubari : U lead ur life alone in this small house... Alto : True...I did that so nobody can play tricks on me and overrun my family's wealthiness!

Alto : ... so ur going to the mountain after this? Yubari : yes...,it won't take long...we'll leave as soon as we get our hands on the stone. Alto's face sulken as if he don't want them to leave that fast. Alto : U sure u dun want me to lead u there? Yubari : Yes...we'll have our Grandulous to go there... Alto : Ah! Mystical creatures as that are forbidden to go there...The place were protected by a barrier made by those kids i told u! Yubari :...I see... Yuk Sha : I'm sure that's not a problem to us, is it Yubari? Yubari : (smiles), sure not! We have our feets and hands! Alto :.... So...Ur leaving huh?... Watching Yuk Sha and Yubari as they start to leave him. Alto : Wait! Yubari...umm...no! Yuk Sha! I...I...would like to see u guys again...so...please drop by after u guys get the stone!.. Yubari : Yuk Sha.... Yuk Sha : .... Alto : .....Please... Yuk Sha : ....Ahh...All rite all rite...but i dun promise...come Yubari! Yubari : Nene! Niku! Both dragons fly across them and give em a ride. Then they fly towards the mountain with the big cave. After a few minutes fly, they then arrived and both Yubari and Yuk Sha jump down from the dragons. They leaping from one rock to another. Finally they arrive at the cave which live two kids holding the 4th Central Stone. They walk into the cave cautiously. They thought there might be a trap waiting for them before they could take the stone away. The they saw two figures sitting and standing by the two sides of the cave. One with long hair the other a bit shorter hair. Han (shor-haired, sitting) : Well...well...look whose here...Pretty bold of u to come here without any weapon or protection... Hun (the other one): I bet u guys didn't come here juz because picnic or anything like it..., Yubari : Yeah...we come for the stone. Yuk Sha : I believe that u guys were from Central city too isn't it? Yubari : So ur like us..., we were from that city too...survived from the curse! Han and Hun seems like shock after hearing it from Yuk Sha and Yubari. Han : True...! But let us test u first! Yubari : Stop! We dun need to fight becuz we're on the same boat here! Han and Hun start to attack Yubari and Yuk Sha using their spells and magics meanwhile Yubari and Yuk Sha just dodge. Yubari : Quickly pull out the 3rd Central Stone from his trench and show it to Han and Hun before they could launch more. Han and Hun suddenly look shocked after seen the stone is glowing with symbol on it. Han :....It..it can't be... Hun : ...dun tell us u... Yuk Sha : Yes..., he is the chosen one whose gonna seal the curse! Han : Then...Ur the guardian of light, the only person who could make the stone glow with that symbol! Yubari : Yes! They all stop at once and Han and Hun face the ground for a moment. Then Han take out something from his rob hand it to Yubari. Its the 4th Central Stone but its not glowing. After a while then its glowing brightly. Han : It's never glow before... Yubari : Thank u! Take it from Han and keep it in his trench along with the 3rd one. Suddenly there's a loud roar from outside the cave. All of em hurried towards the entrance of the cave where Yubari Yuk Sha came in before. It was a Central City Creature like they thought. Its a creature looks like a big wolf with brown fur and red eyes. Its mouth is so large, u can see the big white sharp fang. Yubari : Whoaa..!!!! ITS SURE HUGE!! and...kinda fierce too... Yuk Sha : Its not the problem... Han : Damn it...we already put a barrier! How can?... Yuk Sha : Its probably because of the stone...u has given it to the rite person... Hun : That's...make sense... Han : Let me attack it first! Launch himself towards the creature and attack it with his spells. Han : "From the sky it comes, the strike of an arrow, the power of all lights...Hear my call! LIGHTNING!!!" Floods of lightning from the sky suddenly appeared and attack the creature. The creature roared in pain. Hun doesn't seems to relax a bit... Hun: I'm gonna help Han! He then leap towards the creature and casts some spells too. Since both Han and Hun are strong in spells and magics, they dun have any weapon. Hun : "From the breath of a dragon, hotter than the sun...Hear my call!! FIRE!!!" Floods of fire from Hun's palms then jump to the creature and it seems to be in more pain and roar even worse. After a few minutes the creature got immuned with the attacks from Han and Hun and it counter-attack them with his powerful jaws, it spouts something like black flame. A really powerful hot black flame. Han and Hun get to dodge but their thought about the creature has change. They thought they could never beat it. Yuk Sha : MOVE ASIDE! Yubari : It's our turn!! Han : but but...u dun have any weapon... Yuk Sha then casts his Moon Staff out meanwhile Yubari casts his Moon Scythe, and Yuk Sha swing and throw his staff towards the creature. The creature groans a litte bit. Yubari : It has hit the weak spot! My go now!! (throw his scythe to the creature and it cuts the creature's two feets.) Yuk Sha then finish it up with his staff by throwing the scythe towards the creature once again and this time the scythe become a giant round sharp saw. The creature then cut in half and then it dissapears. Han : Sorry, we were wrong about u. Hun : So..if Yubari is the guardian of the light...u must be the guardian of darkness since the rules said that. Yuk Sha : ...Yes..that's the reason y I can't use my power yet. Its a dark power. Yubari : That's ok Yuk Sha..., anyhow ur still my caretaker rite...? Yuk Sha : Dun waste ur breath saying that! Yubari : ???.... Han : Ahh..Are u going to find the other stones and recover the city?? Yuk Sha : Yes! Hun : We dun have anything left rite now...nothing to protect... Yuk Sha : U can go back to the kid who gave u the stone at first and live with him... Han : But... Yubari : He's lonely rite now! Yuk Sha : (turn his head towards Han) and say to him...I said hi! and tak care... Yubari and Yuk Sha then leave the city riding their Grandulous. Yubari : (glaring at Yuk Sha from Nene) ... Yuk Sha : Yubari! Stop doing that!! spout it already!! Yubari : Uh...umm..its just...y r u so concern bout those kids? Yuk Sha : .....y? Yubari : I dunno...it's unlike u at all.. Yuk Sha : (SMILES FOR THE FIRST TIME!!) i dun have to answer that...its instinct! - END - OK!!
