"That took care of Mito." Esdeath said. "And after all that gloating he did about his strength. Even I'm amazed at how much power I've got. But I do wonder who Mito was referring to earlier."

Esdeath began recalling what Mito said about her working in a scheme with others.

"I'm sure he was mistaken." Esdeath said. "I do sense three power levels moving away from here. The less people in the way of me finding the RongoRongo Books the better."

Esdeath then flew towards the three signals.

With TJ, Leone, Chelsea and the Zulian Girl:

"Just a little further; my mom's in one of these caves up here." TJ said.

"You sure know your way around for not being here long." Chelsea said.

"Stop guys! There's someone coming for us!" Leone warned. "We got to hide."

The four flew to the ground to hide.

"They're going to still spot us; it's too open here." TJ said.

"We just got to hide our energy." Leone said. "I got a feeling it's that yellow haired asshole from earlier. He could've found us that fast."

Esdeath then appeared right on top of the remaining Night Raid members.

"I was right on top of that power source." Esdeath said. "That's odd."

"Uhm guys...? Look..." TJ said, pointing up.

Chelsea and Leone looked up and saw Esdeath.

"Holy Shit!!" Leone said in disbelief. "What the fuck is she doing here?!?!"

"No fucking way!" Chelsea exclaimed.

"It's got to be the books, right?" TJ said. "It's the only reason why Esdeath would be on Zulo."

"It's got to be." Leone whispered.

"Was I wrong, perhaps?" Esdeath questioned herself. "I could've sworn there was three power sources around this area.... Oh wait, there's a small one, somebody's definitely down there."

Esdeath began making her way, unknowingly towards Night Raid and the Zulian Girl.

"Shit! She's coming down here." Chelsea gritted.

"Guys, it's Esdeath. It's not some evil villain." TJ said.

"Yeah, we know kid."  Leone said. "But we need those books. And if Esdeath is after them too, that's what makes the situation sticky."

"Behind that rock is where it's coming from." Esdeath said as she got closer to Night Raid.

"We might have no choice but to face her." Leone said.

"What?!" Chelsea said. "For real?"

"Yeah." Leone said. 

"Okay." TJ said as he began walking out from behind the rock.

But just as Esdeath was about to spot them one of the other rocks began falling as if a quake on the planet was occurring.

"What the hell?" Chelsea said.

Countless amounts of boulders and other large debris crashed into the ocean.

"It was only a quake, huh?" Esdeath said, visibly annoyed. "What a waste of time. I should be focused on the RongoRongo Books; and if I can just find one, it'll completely disrupt Torosu's plans. They'll do the hard work for me and just take the books right under thier noses and since those clowns let the Zulians destroy their trackers, I'll catch them off guard with ease."
