They walked their way near Serpent's head, as their path was blocked by Maguu Kinky.

Aether summoned his weapon to defend Ei, but Raiden walked pass Aether.

"Do not worry, I will handle this for you" Ei then summoned her naginata to fight the Maguu kenky.

(I'm not rlly the type to make fight scenes)

Aether observed Ei fight and take some notes in mind of her combat moves.

After Ei was done fighting the Maguu kenki, they both then proceeded to reach their destination.

The trio were walking down a slope hill with the Serpent's bones towering over them.

Ei remembered those times when Inazuma was in a war against Orabaxi and Enkonomiya.

Aether and Paimon tried making small talks with Ei "Hey, Ei..." Paimon called and Ei turned to the pixie.

"Yes?" Ei's attention was now on the pixie "Is Tomo still there with you?" Paimon asked and Ei nodded.

"In your opinion, how would you react if Tomo reincarnated and you met him again?" Paimon asked and the pixie gave her opinion first "If Paimon saw him again, I would be so happy and delightful! How about you, Aether?" Paimon turned to her traveler companion

"That would take me a long time to wait... but I would add him to my team" Aether said. The two travelers then turned to Ei to tell them about her opinion about it "I don't know how would I feel or react. He might not remember me anymore in his next life" Ei said while she stared up in the cloudy skies with a raindrop landing on her forehead.

Aether and Paimon felt sadness about what she spoke "Anyways... what are we exactly finding for out here?" Paimon asked

They were walking in a beach near the shores "We are currently searching for a sword hilt. It should be right here said in the map" Ei said

"Oh! Like that one over there?" Paimon pointed and Ei nodded, as they ran towards the sword hilt.

"Though, we need an electrograna to- Ei was caught off short by the traveler "There's a thunder sakura bough over there!" Aether pointed and the three took one electrograna each

"Though, we need an electrograna to- Ei was caught off short by the traveler "There's a thunder sakura bough over there!" Aether pointed and the three took one electrograna each.

Ei touched the sword hilt, at first nothing happened. Ei took a step back, as four samurais appeared instead of one.

Ei opened her purse to see only four unalive visions "Where's the fifth one???" Ei turned to the samurais and noticed that they were clones.

Among them held the vision. Aether charged at the samurais, only to be missed and he was flung backwards by the clones' attacks.

"Aether!" Ei then launched at the samurai's clones with her naginata in hand.

The electro clones disappeared and Ei was about to slash the electro samurai user when...

Ei's  surroundings turned white that blinded her eyes.

"Hiraku! Listen! I know you want to stop Aku but listen for once! You have no chance in defeating him!" the samurai said with his hand outreached to someone's back.

The person he was shouting turned around 'Its the cryo samurai user' Ei thought.

"Nozomi... What we are doing... I mean, what the people of Watatsumi are doing is something that can destroy Inazuma" Hiraku said

Nozomi grabbed Hiraku's collar and was about to punch him but stop when tears broke through his eyes "I don't want you to die... you're my only friend..." Nozomi said while crying breathlessly.

Hiraku caressed Nozomi's cheek and wipes off his tears away "If I don't fight him, we'll all die anyway" Hiraku said

Tears overflow Nozomi's eyes, as he stared down at the ground.

Hiraku received light punches on his chest from Nozomi, as Hiraku moved away Nozomi's hand that was gripping his collar.

"I'm sorry, Nozomi" Hiraku softly said and Nozomi pushed him away "Go! Go and save the world! I will miss you...

Hiraku"

The memory ended "Please save our souls..." Nozomi spoke before disappearing, as his vision fell down to the ground.

Ei feels her cheeks wet. She touched the side of her face and she didn't noticed she was crying too.

Ei wipes it off and turned to the travelers, as she sniffled "Come on, Aether and Paimon. There's more to take care of" Ei said and pulls out a hand for Aether.

"What's next, Ei?" Aether asked, as they were walking through the shores "the next sword hilt is just in the other side. When we are finished there, we will hike up the mountain" Ei said

Aether followed Ei towards an island, as they saw another sword hilt on a little hill.

Ei touched the sword hilt with an electrograna, as she was struck by a lightning, turning her surroundings into a blinding light

Ei touched the sword hilt with an electrograna, as she was struck by a lightning, turning her surroundings into a blinding light.

Ei covered her eyes from the light, as her white surroundings became a crimson rainy night.

Ei was on the ground, as a samurai was fighting back against an opponent.

The samurai huffs with electro energy flowing from up his head to his feet "Daiki! Get up!" the electro samurai said and helped the person named Daiki stand up.

"Thank you, Genkei" Daiki said, as Genkei lets go of him "Let's go before the tides floods us!" Genkei said and started running away with Daiki following behind.

"Aku has the power of the Omikami! We're all in danger! We have to evacuate the people of Yashiori Island to a safe place!" Genkei said while breathing for air.

Dizziness filled Ei's head making her trip over making her body fall to the ground.

Genkei turned around with panic and worry mixed together in his eyes "Daiki! Wake up! Why do you have to faint while in a time of danger...?" Genkei groaned and carried his friend on his back.

Ei's vision was blocked by bright light and came back to the real world.

Aether just finished fighting the samurai and gently touched Ei's shoulder "Ei, you've been standing there in space" Aether said, as he sounded worried "Is something wrong?" Paimon asked and Ei shook her head "Next stop is Musoujin Gorge, come on" Ei said and the travelers followed Ei towards the way there.
