"...I don't know what kind of power that is, but...it's you isn't it, Zepar?" Ja'far got the answer he needed, even if there was no answer said. "...Heh. Bingo." He frowned at them.

"I have the ability to meddle with people's minds. I fiddled with their brains a bit. Their consciousness is asleep and I'm in control of their bodies now. This way we can fight without any interruptions. Now, let's get started." Zepar held Masrur's hand out to Ja'far. "A fight to the death!" Ja'far was really angry at this point.

"What in the world...Ja'far!" Drakon said, starting to go towards Ja'far, however, Sin stopped him.

"...Wait, Drakon. This is one of the Djinn's tests. Zepar may have a reason for all of this... Let's just keep an eye on things for now..." Sin stated

Back with Masrur, Sora, and Ja'far, Ja'far got in a defense pose while Masrur and Sora were stretching. 'Masrur's attacks just now were too dangerous. Sora's attacks do involve strength, but, also, magic. I've no choice but to stop their movements and use my household vessel to end this match as quickly as possible.' Ja'far thought, calculating his strategy.

"Let's get going! Ready..." Masrur and Sora waved at him

Ja'far threw his darts at them. "Sorry Masrur, Sora. Bararaq-" Before he could activate his vessel, Masrur and Sora appeared behind him. They kicked him before he could defend himself, making the darts wrap around his arm with blood appearing from it tightening.

"It's not over yet!" Masrur  ran really fast next to Ja'far while Sora let fire appear at her hands and shooting them towards Ja'far, making him dodge with more blood appearing and burn marks.

"What were those attacks?!" Drakon said

"No, that wasn't an attack. that was just..."

Holding his arm, he was scratched from head to toe. 'Sin's right...that was just a shock wave. As Masrur accelerated, the air surrounding him compressed, creating a slashing effect just from the movement of the air... Sora used her fire and burned me with the turning, even though I tried dodging it...it curved with speed. Masrur...no, Zepar was just moving around and yet...'

"Hmph...I can't control their bodies very well yet." Masrur and Sora looked at their hands. "Oh well! As long as I can move them, I should be able to eliminate you." Ja'far was speechless. "But I'd better be careful too, because if I bring out my full strength in these bodies, I might end up destroying the entire treasury along with you. Better prepare yourself. This match as barely started, right?"

'What is this..this...terrible premonition... It feels like I'm facing beings whose abilities overwhelmingly transcend those of humans. All my instincts are screaming...that I must not...fight them!' Ja'far thought with panic. 

While they clashed, Drakon said, "This isn't going well...Sinbad. If this is their true power, it far surpasses that of any normal human beings. It feels like the fantastic power I gained when I became like this. Even though Ja'far was narrowly able to escape that attack, it was only because his skills as an assassin have made his body hyperaware of his surroundings. However...if it continues like this...he'll die. Sinbad..." While Drakon talked to Sinbad, Seredine was amazed by what she saw.

"Amazing. so this is the power of a Djinn." Masrur continued to kick at Ja'far while Sora used her dragon abilities tied into with her strength and speed. 'To be able to control such strong people so easily. Depending on how it's used, that could be a terrifying power... If I could get my hands on the power of that Djinn...' She clenched her fist, holding it above her chest. 'Perhaps I could...'

  Back with the battle, Ja'far was catching his breath. His body was scattered with blood and burns.

Laughing, Masrur said, "Awesome! You're just barely standing now, huh? Yet me and her don't even have a scratch on us." He put his finger on his cheek. "But I'm already bored of this. I'll put an end to you with one final blow." Just as Masrur and Sora were closing in on Ja'far, he smiled.

While this was happening, Sora consciousness was waking up.

In Sora's mind~~~~~~

While Sora's conscious was asleep, Igneel felt something bad happen to her and decided to talk to her telepathically.

"How long are you going to sleep, Sora?"

Opening her eyes, blinking, she saw darkness surrounding her. "Where am I?" She looked around.

"We're in your mind."

"Is this what my mind is like?!" She was dumbfounded. 'I can't be this dumb, can I?!'

Sweat dropping, he shacked his head. "No, Sora. It's just that your body is being controlled by that Djinn."

"Oooohhhh. Is there a way to get back my body?"

"Yes, but you have to try to push his control out of your body."

"Okay, but how do I do that?" She tilted her head.

"Try with your necklace." With that, her necklace glowed, lighting the darkness.

"Woah! That's awesome!" Looking around, she saw a door appear. "What's that?" She pointed at it.

"That's the way out of here to get back to your body."

"Okay!" She walked up to it, twisting the doorknob open. "Hey, Igneel, Do ya think I've become stronger?"

"I think you have."

"That's all I needed to know! See ya, Dad, wherever you may be!" She waved at the air, grinning with her eyes closed.

"Goodbye, Sora."

  Opening the door, she blinked by the scene before her. She stopped closing in on Ja'far, and took a good look at him. She saw him scratched up with blood and burn marks. She frowned, but then saw Masrur closing in on Ja'far. She fisted her hands with fire, and sent it at Masrur, running in front of Ja'far. Everyone was shocked. She grinned, determination burning in her eyes. "Guess I'm late to the party."
