Merus is definitely pissed at Saganbo's usage of Mortals for his own goals .
Kuro : "So , We go to the next room now ?"
Merus : "Yeah ..."
Merus and Kuro exit the room as they pass across Shirou and Kagaya .
Kagaya : "THERE YOU ARE GUYS ! I'M GLAD YOU'RE ALRIGHT !"
Merus : "Yeah you're well doing yourselves ..."
Kuro : "Where's Miryoku ?"
Shirou : "We kept her in a room ..."
Kuro : "Oh , So that means you won ... I actually won two successive battles !"
Shirou : "What ? Two Monarchs ???"
Kuro : "Actually it's one Monarch and one Mortal ."
Shirou surprised .
Shirou : "I bet that Monarch was weak ..."
Kuro : "Huh ? What's wrong with you ..."
Kagaya : "I BET HE'S ANGRY BECAUSE OF OUR LOSS !"
Merus : "You Lost ???!"
Shirou (Embarrassed) : "Y-eah ... The ... Monarch was too strong ..."
Kuro laughs silently .
Merus : "Then how are you still alive ?"
Shirou : "I used some luck there ."
Kagaya : "WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SHIT CHAT LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ROOM !"
Merus : "Yeah Kagaya's right"
Shirou , Merus , Kuro and Kagaya go to the final room in their way .
Meanwhile Saganbo is still thinking angrily about Daganu and Amado's Loss when Raimei knockes and comes into his room .
Saganbo : "What is it ?"
Raimei : "Sir ! Looks like even Shinaru died . He died while trying to betray us so the Fictional Bomb I constructed in his mind blew up in the process .
Saganbo angrily attacks Raimei from a Distance with an Air Shockwave causing slight Scratches and a bleeding on Raimei's face .
Raimei stays quiet for a moment and says later on : "I'm sorry ..."
Saganbo (Angrily) : "Raimei , Those mortals you brought were dissapointments , You better not do anything without my consent again !"
Raimei : "Yes sir ..."
Saganbo : "Now get the hell out of my face ."
Raimei : "Yes sir !"
Raimei goes back to the Monarchs Joint Training room after closing Saganbo's room's door .
Raimei appears to be very upset due to the losses and the treatment he got .
Raimei : "Tchk , If I was just allowed to go fight them , I would of ended this Quickly with Daganu and Shinaru still alive !"
Merus's team finally enters the 5Th Room seeing Kokuto waiting for them in anger .
Kokuto (Angry) : "We finally met again ! However this time I won't run away and have you chase me ! This time ! I will definitely cut you up !"
Merus : "Looking forward to this ! SwordWrath Monarch !"
Kuro : "Lord Merus , Let's start the Plan ."
Meanwhile Shinji is still dreaming while hearing the word "Transcend" . He is apparently a dead man that can only hear in his dream . However he still has energy , even in the dream and so Shinji dives deep into his Spirit trying to understand how can he "Transcend" as said , However , clearly nothing is happening .
Shinji doesn't lose hope and is still searching as he dives even deeper into his core remembering the training on Suchumus Planet however it's still not nearly enough .
Shinji tries his best , But still totally Nothing happens .
Shinji thinks what he's lacking , Or what he's doing wrong . As he realizes he isn't calm at all , He's so stressed Thinking about something , However he doesn't even bother thinking about what he was thinking about , He simply abandons all thought and Stress and he totally , Immediately focuses every ounce of his Self into Spirit Diving .
And so for the first time in a total calm state he surpasses his Trascender Core , Meaning he Transcended his self . And so the voice he was hearing vanishes .
"Congratulations , You've Transcended"
And so Shinji opens his eyes to find himself in a Huge Cave like thing with 5 Huge Doors emitting different kinds of energies .
Shinji is filled with Joy as he can now Hear , Walk and use Moves properly , yet he still can't talk .
And so Shinji takes a look at the doors observing them well .
The First Door is filled with Dark Negative energy that even Shinji doesn't want to risk it and enter there , The Second one seems to be an evil like moderate Energy , The Third Door seems like a Good Moderate Energy , The Fourth is a really Good , Calm and Relaxed energy while the Fifth Is a completely obnoxious Energy that seems to be depressing .
Immediately Shinji's mind would go for the Fourth one however his Spirit itself was crushing him not allowing him to go there and was pushing him towards the Second Door .
Shinji was withstanding the conflict between his spirit and mind and was pushing himself hoping to at least enter the Third door .
However he mistakingly got pushed to the First Door .
Shinji was totally terrified as he enters .
By entering his entire Body , Spirit , Mind , Every single Part of his Self was refusing and tried to go back but the door was shut down , Definitely Shinji had no other choice but to continue the path However the path itself was blocked with an Invisible Wall . And so he saw himself on the other side of the wall . Shinji thought it was some kind of reflection until his other self said : "Correct choice !"
Shinji was confused he was going to reply but he forgot that he couldn't talk .
The Other Shinji : "You Know Sakuta ? Sometimes the Darkest Path is the wisest One , Because , The darkness itself will be light , Or is that a mere hallucination ?"
Shinji seems to be even more confused at the sight , After all He's seeing another Shinji .
The Other Shinji : "You will always be a monster , there is no turning back from it. But what kind of monster you become is entirely up to you , Just think about it ! , Sakuta Shinji !!! TRASCENDER MY ASS ! HOW CAN YOU BE CALLED A TRASCENDER WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN TRASCEND !"
And so The Other Shinji breaks through the Invisible Wall hugging Shinji .
"Join me ... And together we will end it all , This cycle of Good and Evil , The entirety of Justice and Unfairness , And so the Future will be safe" . Says The Other Shinji while hugging Shinji and crying .
"Who are you ?" Says Shinji after regaining his ability to talk while crying .
Alternate Future Shinji : "I'm your phantom dance partner. I'm your shadow. I'm not anything more , I'll tell you the entire truth and then we will Transcend it all ... Together !"
