After Lucifer's visit, John began to think in the lab about the current stage, since now the conflict has scaled too much, and they have progressed too little. “Dammit” Said John to himself as he leans his head back against the wall, as Kelly looks at him and approaches him with a gentle smile, she also leans her back against the wall and asks. "Ok tough boy, speak up." John slightly smiles and says. "It's... n-nothing... I'll tell you later." Said John almost whispering to Kelly, so that no one listens to them, meanwhile on the other side of the room, everyone else seems to be thinking of many plans.

Kelly looks at John and chuckles, and with a gentle voice, she says. "Fine, but one thing's true, you haven't rest properly lately." John looks at Kelly with concern and asks. "And...? We've been in much worse situations before." Kelly then separates from the wall and stands right in front of John as she says. "Yeah, but this ain't normal, I mean... look at you, you need rest... John, and that's not up to debate." Kelly then places her hand on John's cheeks, as she sees how his recent wounds haven't healed completely, and yet, he's willing to go the extra mile. John looks at Kelly's concerned face and gently grabs her hand and says. "Ok, I'll rest if that eases you, but please... keep me updated with everything you might come up, got it?" Asked John with a gentle voice as he holds Kelly's hand down, for a brief moment, both looked at each other without saying a word, but the silence got cut off by Kelly's chuckle, and after that, she says. "When have I let you down? Now go, your bed awaits."

John heads upstairs and meets with Aura, who is cleaning up the kitchen, she sees John and then says with a smile. "Y'know... I just realized that the Devil himself visited my home." John then takes the backrest of a chair at the dinning table and says. "Yeah.... I guess that's a new value to the list of this house." Said John, trying to joke about it, but he knows Lucifer's visit may not be very pleasant for her. After all, this is of the few times she encountered someone not even John wants to see.

"Hahaha... yeah, my mother would've gone crazy after this." Aura then takes heads to the kitchen, begins to wash the dishes, John remains curious about one thing, and he wishes to know the answer, with a curious voice, John leans on the chair and asks. "Aura... what's between you and Fred?" Aura then stops suddenly and blushes, since John's question slightly startled her, with an awkward voice, she replies. "Between... us? Uhmm.... I.... don't know what... you're saying... hehehe!" John slightly chuckles, that was enough answer for him, so he decides to leave the topic there, he then hears the door opening and Flash comes in.

"I'm back!" Said Flash aloud before realizing John was there, but it only took him a second to see him, and with a smile he says. "John! You're back!" Flash runs towards him and hugs John, who only smiles and was about to hug him back, but Flash stepped back before that and asked. "What took you so long this time?" John then says with a calmed voice. "Let's just say a lot of things happened, but hey! How you've been while I was gone, aren't you excited about your birthday?" Asked John with a cheerful smile, right now, he doesn't want to think about all the mess going on, and he wants to spend some time with his family.

"Well, Principal Celestia was concerned about the girls' whereabouts, but I managed to handle her... I think... besides that, everything's fine!" Said Flash with a smile as he sits on the couch, as he sighs of relief after a rough day. "Tough day?" Asks John with a relaxed expression, Flash looks at him and smiles as he replies. "Kinda... truth is, I've been a bit stressed lately, I mean, our graduation is "near" so I better start thinking of my future, but now... I don't know if we're going to have a future, y'know?" Flash chuckles sarcastically, but John didn't take it lightly, in fact, he began to reflect on Flash's words and thinks of a way for both to distract themselves. John heads upstairs and in a matter of seconds, he returns with a basketball ball and quickly says. "Catch!" John throws the ball and Flash catches it, not before startling by the sudden movement, with curiosity, Flash asks.

"And this? Did something bite you?" John smiles and says. "To be honest, I've never assisted to one of your games, so I want to see how good is a member of CHS's finest." Flash stands and looks at John with a smile as he replies. "Are you sure you won't regret this?" John only looks at him and says. "Pfft! What are you saying? C'mon, let's play!" After this, John and Flash head out, but before leaving, Flash looks at his mother and says. "We'll be back, mom!" After this, both headed to the local park, as Aura only looked at them from behind as she smiles and chuckles.

Meanwhile, back on his starship, Kylo begins to reflect on the dream he just got, the door he preserved, and the realm that now belongs to him, but also... how could he use that young mare on his favor. As he meditates in his room, Kylo thinks. "(Right now, I have a power I never thought achievable, but I have to learn how to master it, and also... I need to keep my control over Sunlight, if I lose her again... my plan will go to waste completely.)" After this, the door opens and Vader walks in and asks. "How do you feel?"

Kylo stands up and says with a serious voice. "I feel... much more vigorous, like... all this time I was incomplete, but now... I'm whole." Said Kylo as he unleashes his dark magic and turns into his Overlord form, where he becomes taller and creates a dark magic armor that represents his evil nature now. "And with this power, no one will be able to defy me!" Said Kylo with an arrogant smile, whilst Vader looks at him with a serious expression and says.

"Don't forget the most important thing." Kylo looks at him with a smug on his face and asks arrogantly. "And what is it?" Vader then activates his necklace and uses his power along with The Force to drop Kylo on his knees, the shock can be seen on the Sith's face, while Vader replies with a serious but confident voice. "Right now, you're only a novice who got bestowed with amounts of power, but you lack experience on wielding power, so you better take it seriously from now on." Said Vader as he released his hold over Kylo, who deactivates his Overlord form and exhales of relief.

Vader turns back and heads to the exit, but before crossing the door, he says. "I've already dispatched Sunlight on a mission to bring back Starkiller, so if you like to join her, it'll be perfect." Kylo struggles to stand up, but he finally achieves it, after his master's statement, he asks. "And what would you be doing?"

Vader only says with a serious voice. "I'll take some troops and head out to a remote universe, I read your file about the Flood case, and... let's just say it got my attention." Vader then leaves the room, leaving Kylo in bewilderment, but with a new task, Starkiller's gone missing for quite the time and who knows what his current situation is, and Kylo can't sense him at all, making it much harder to at least know if he's alive or not.

As mentioned before, Starkiller is in a remote universe, but the truth is. He is held captive on a remote island. As he looks around his cell, dark but imponent, with only the shackles of his hands holding him tight and for some reason, he can't use his powers.

As the door of his cell opens, the shadow of two women reveals in front of him, Starkiller looks at them with hatred, but says nothing.

"So... this is the man you told me about?" Asked the woman to the woman one next to her, this is Kujou Sara, general of the Raiden Shogun's army in a nation called Inazuma, her determination is as solid as a mountain, and for her, the man in front of her poses a threat to her home and to Inazuma's people.

"He is, I wanted you to see him first to evaluate his situation, since he comes from a land of beyond he poses a threat to the Shogun's so called Eternity, so we better deal with him directly instead of recurring to standard protocols." Said the Kitsune lady, Yae Miko, she is head of a shrine in Inazuma, and thanks to her affinity with the elemental energy, she knew Starkiller wouldn't be someone they want to keep around, therefore she settled a trap for him and used elemental seals to restrain his abilities.

"What?!... you're going to kill me?! HA!... I'd like to see you try, and this time, without your cowards' tricks!" Said Starkiller, referring to Yae Miko, who only chuckles and says with a mocking smile. "Coward trick or not, you would've still fell for it, only a fool thinks they'd have an advantage against locals in their own land."

Starkiller only groans with anger as he feels completely humiliated, he lost the fight without it even started. Kujou Sara looks at Yae and says. "If he poses a such a threat as you say, we better inform Her Eternal Excellency, in order for her to emit a sentence." Yae Miko sighs and says with a calmed expression but with some dissapointment. "*sighs* Although I knew you wouldn't agree, I had some hopes, just remember... the Shogun won't take it lightly when she learns about the failure of two out of the three comissions to prevent an outsider to pass with the Sakoku Decree still up." After hearing those words, Sara's eyes widen, expressing shock, the Tri-Comission is the way the nation of Inazuma is ruled, excluding their ruler and goddess, The Raiden Shogun, the power is split in 3 comissions, Kanjou Comission has the job of dealing with all the borders' administration and finances of Inazuma, Yashiro Comission deals with all the public and cultural affairs in the nation, while the Tenryou Comission manages public security and enforces the Vision Hunt Decree, which has created contempt within most of Inazuma's people.

"This event would've a problem of the Kanjou Comission, why would it affect the Tenryou Comission?" Asked Sara with curiosity, she was only informed of this intruder, Yae only smiles and says. "Well, I called some soldiers of the Tenryou Comission that were passing by to detain the intruder, and they all died while causing a mess near my shrine." Sara's even more shocked now, the involving of her men made this an affair that truly involves two Comissions.

"You truly are a clever one, Shrine Maiden." Said Sara as she clenches her punch while Yae Miko leaves the prison cell, leaving Sara and Starkiller alone, whilst Sara thinks on what to do, she's interrupted by Starkiller's sadistic laugh and asks. "What's so funny, prisoner?"

"She... really played it on you! HAHAHA! What are you gonna do now?! Kill me?! HAHAHAH!" Starkiller kept laughing, but he stops as he sees Sara, who grows some wings and slices the air with her hand while violet lightning comes out of her hand and shocks Starkiller, after causing him some pain, she says.

"I could... but luckily for you, my duty demands me to bring you to Her Eternal Excellency... alive." After this, a squad of guards walks in and stand behind Sara, who then commands. "Take him to Tenshukakku, and keep your eyes on him in every moment! I'll give the report to the Shogun myself."

After this, Starkiller is taken away to the so called Shogun's temple, the only thing he has hopes is for Sunlight, Kylo or Vader to help him out of this one, since these people somehow know how to neutralize a Force user. Meanwhile, back at the CHS world, John and Flash are playing basketball, and after showing off some skills, both Flash and John sat on bench and began to talk.

"John.... can I ask you something?" Said Flash with some nervousness, John smiles and leans forward while replying. "Always kid, tell me... what is it?" Flash musters some courage to finally say with a serious voice. "I... have been wondering of how to ask Sunset to be my girlfriend, and I'd like to know if you can give me any ideas."

John widens his eyes as he is a bit confused, and asks with a calmed voice. "Hold on! You've already kissed many times, and after all of that, you're not a couple?" Flash only blushes as he scratches the back of his head and says with a nervous voice. "W-well... I mean... technically... yeah... but that's not the thing! I want to make it seriously, after all... I want to the spend my time with the one I truly love, you know?"

John then stands up and sighs, he turns back at Flash and asks. "Do you really love her THAT much?" Deep inside, John knew the answer, but he had to hear it, this is an important event in everyone's life, therefore, he needs to know if his son has enough determination to make this choice. With a serious voice, Flash says. "Yeah... all I know is that my love for her is true, if can... I'd like to spend my whole life with her, but right now, I can only focus on what's in front of me." A silence flooded their surroundings, John's serious look and Flash's determination were facing each other, after reflecting over it for a bit, John finally came to a conclusion.

John then smiles and says. "Get up then! I think we can help you with a thing or two." As Flash stands up, John crosses his left arm behind him and grabs him by the shoulder as both began to walk back home. "Wait... we?" Asked Flash with confusion, but John replied with a cheerful voice. "Well, yeah! I mean... I have little experience on this affair, so we better think of something along with Fred and Jerome, don't you think?"

"Hahaha... alright, sounds great to me... thanks... D-... John." Said Flash, as his mouth tried to say Dad, but for some reason unknown to him, he couldn't say it. "Don't worry kiddo, we got you." Said John as he got his hands in his pockets and began to chat while on their way home. As they are now midway, John receives a call from Kelly.

"Kelly, what is it?" Asks John with a calmed voice, Flash only sees how his cheerful expression changed suddenly to a more serious one, which meant nothing good, John ends the call and Flash then asks him. "What... happened?" John looks at him and replies. "Omega Team is back, but they don't have good news." After this, they didn't continue their conversation until they arrived home, after entering, John notices no one is on the living room nor upstairs, therefore he and Flash head to the lab and as they go downstairs, he hears the commotion among the people down there.

"Team, status..." Said John before being interrupted by the scene, Omega Team seems completely beaten up, blood all over their suits along with cracks on them, John quickly approaches and with a worried look, he says. "Team! Leon what the hell happened?!" Asked a worried John as Leon takes off his helmet, revealing his tired face, after a deep sigh of relief, he says with a serious yet frustrated voice.

"We were hunting down the last Flood spawn that leaked into a universe, but this time... fuck it was different, they... knew how to build a portal machine and then... messed up with it and... and... I have no fucking idea what happened." Leon leans back as August takes off her helmet and the broken pieces of her suit and says. "Maybe this will help explain what Leon can't." She said as she drew out a flashdrive from her suit, which contains the recordings of their last mission, John Linda takes it and says. "Cortana, can you show us what we're dealing with?" Cortana showed up and quickly accessed the flashdrive unit and displayed a video recording.

The video begins with the Spartan Team going deep inside a cave as they were following the last Flood spawn remaining, but as soon as they took a look, Robert saw how the Flood infected the portal machine, corrupting even the navigational computer with its tentacles, before Robert could took down the infestation form, the computer said. "DNA match found, beginning translocation..." After that, the machine began to fail and its core exploded, unleashing all of it energy within it and creating a massive rift with it, while also blewing off the whole cave revealing it to the outside, their surroundings began to corrupt as the Flood biomass began to melt with the machine and created a structure that holded the rift.

"What... the FUCK IS THAT?!" Shouted Leon as he unsheathed his promethean blade and drew his handgun out as he and his team began to walk back.

"I don't fucking know! But it surely isn't good!" Said Robert as he charged up his machine gun, August reloaded her railgun and said. "Guns ready! I detect something coming out of there!"

Right after seeing this, many humanoid and alien living forms began to sprout from the rift.

"Are those... ZOMBIES?!" Said Robert as he began to shoot his machine gun, supressing the incoming horde of undead beings, but the rift goes even more haywire and becomes bigger, letting other beings come out of it.

"Ok now THAT'S FUCKED UP!" Shouted Leon as he saw the incoming beasts, with a swift move he dodged the first attack and slashed throught the beast flesh, deintegrating it at contact, making the rest of the swarm to step back for a bit, which gave Leon enough time to began a brutal attack against these creatures, decimating them, until one of them landed a clean hit on him with its tail and smacked him on the ground.

"TEAM OMEGA HERE! WE NEED EVAC A.S.A.P! WE'RE BEING OVERRUNED BY THE ENEMY!" Shouted Robert on his communicator, little did he know that he was using the Blue Team communication channel. Robert then began to supress the zombie and Xenomporh horde with his machine gun and explosives, but it doesn't seem it'll last for long, August approaches and cleans the path with her railgun as she takes Leon's blade and drags him out of the fire.

"WE'RE READY! WE HAVE TO LEAVE!" Said August as she and Robert began to shoot at practically everything that moved in front of them, and before the situation went worse, they got teleported back to the Blue Team's home, were they met with everyone again, moments before meeting with John.

"What... was that?" Asked a frightened Fluttershy after seeing the beasts in that footage. "We don't know... we only know... they're extremely dangerous." Said August as she leans back, right now nobody knows what to say, as more threats are rising and they are getting left behind. "And that rift... would it replicate somewhere else?" Asked a concerned Twilight, as she wonders what other dangers can sprout from those gates if they begin to appear everywhere. John finds himself in bewilderment, what kind of threat of would emerge if all these creatures work together, maybe they won't, but it's too risky to be left to the air, with determination, John replies.

"Let's make sure they won't, Cortana, can you run an anylisis on that rift?" Asked John, Cortana looked at him and said with a calmed voice. "Already done, I was just expecting for you to get to this point." Said Cortana as she shows various charts and metrics comparing the differences from the common rifts and these anomalous rifts.

"Send it to the Science Division as an urgent message and attach Team Omega's record, we need all their expertise on this matter." Said John with a serious voice, he then looks at Cortana and says. "Let's analyze these new threats and gather as much information as we can, we need to know what are we fighting against."

Meanwhile at the Infinity, Team Red and Galen seem to be discussing the intel they got from Sunlight while on the Eclipse.

"Y'know? We're lucky Cortana deincripted all of this, we would've taken days doing it on our own. By the way, who retrieved it?" Asked Douglas as they see all the classified files, Jerome then replies while holding a datapad as he lurks among the files. "It was Eclipse Sunlight... or... Sunlight...? Sunset Shimmer's human counterpart, but we lost her after this." Said Jerome with a serious voice, though slight traces of grief can be heard in his voice.

"Are you worried about her?" Asked Alice with a curious voice, Jerome is not the kind of person that worries, he's oftenly the one that calms everyone's worries, Jerome sighs and puts down the datapad as he says. "It's just... I read John's report on her and... I just can't tolerate someone innocent suffering of all these disgraces, and now... she's under Kylo's control! Which is... frustrating."

Galen only hears the conversation as he keeps looking among the files on the holo table, he suddenly stops as he sees a folder named "PurgeTK_Prjt" With shock in his eyes, Galen says aloud. "Guys look!" Galen then swipes the file up and shows its content in a 3D Hologram of a Purge Trooper model along with many data regarding their equipment and features.

"What are we seeing?" Asked Jerome with a serious voice, Galen then types in the keyboard of the holo table to get extract the records of the Purge Troopers, also as he says. "These... are the Purge Troopers, elite troopers bred to fulfill the so called Order 66, which had the purpose of eliminating all members of the Jedi Order."

"Wait... you said, bred?" Asked Alice with confusion, Galen nods with his head positively and says. "These troopers are a modification of the Clone Trooper unit that was mass produced during the Clone Wars in cloning facilities on a remote planet named Kamino." Said Galen as he shows everyone a picture of what he's referring to.

"During the Clone Wars, the Clone Army outmatched the Droid Army in every aspect, except for quantity, the thing was, as far as I know, all Clones had a chip in their heads that forced them to kill their general at the end of the Clone Wars, and by general, I mean Jedi Master." Galen said as he then looks down and keeps looking among the files for something, but Douglas asks with confusion. "Ok... but... why the history lesson now? And how do you know so much if you didn't live those events? You yourself said that the Empire of Darth Sidious erased all records of that."

Galen then found the file he was looking for, but before showing it, he replies. "Yeah, you're right, but they couldn't erase a veteran's memory, my master... Rahm Kota fought in the Clone Wars and told me about this. He never used Clones in his army though, he had his own Militia. But he saw how many of his friends died at their troops' hands." Jerome then asks. "And what woke up your curiosity regarding this Purge Troopers?" Galen then replies with a calmed voice.

"According to Team Blue's report and records, they fought against Purge Troopers in Aloy's world, but the thing is... Purge Troopers stopped existing years after Order 66, and now I wonder HOW did Kylo managed to form a squad of Purge Troopers." Alice then says with a calmer voice. "And that's why you insisted on checking this intel with us, right?"

"Exactly, and I've found the answer." Galen then shows everyone what he found, a DNA chain with the legend Purge Genome. Jerome looks at it and says as he builds the puzzle in his mind as he says. "So now that we have this genetic code..."

"We can bring back the Clone Army! We only need to remove the additions the Empire made to create the Purge Troopers, and then we might have a chance to fight against the Final Order's numbers, while also our winning rates might increase significantly." Said Galen with excitement as he looks at the DNA structure, he then looks at the Red Team and says. "We only need two things, a great team of genetists, and cloning facilities."

Jerome looks at his team and then he looks at Galen, with a confident voice he replies. "I think I know the right people to ask."

Meanwhile, at an Inazuman island's coast, Sunlight finds herself alone under the island's violent weather.

"Where the fuck I am?" Asked Sunlight to herself as she walks around the coast as she tries to find a way to get out of there and locate Starkiller, but as she walked calmly, she hears footsteps behind her, she suddenly stops and says. "Finally! I was getting bored!"

"You truly are a bold one, young lady! Coming to this desertic island all by yourself, heh!" Said the Rogue Samurai as he is followed by his group, Sunlight turns around as she asks. "Do you guys have a boat?" The gang leader replied with a serious voice. "And what if we do? Do you want a ride?" Sunlight smiles and says with a smug on her face. "If possible, I'd like to go.... there!" Said Sunlight as she aimed with her finger to the main island, the Rogue Samurai replied. "Towards Inazuma City? That'll be very expensive! But if you don't have any Mora... maybe we can find other waysfor you to pay."

Sunlight showed her evil grin as the marks on her eyes grew bigger and his eyes begin to glow with dark magic. "Nah, don't worry! I can drive..." Said Sunlight right before charging and piercing the leader's face with her gauntlet, spitting all his blood behind his teammates and all the brain pieces fell to the ground.

"BOSS!" Said one of his goons as Sunlight cut the dead body in half with a dark blade. "Let's have some fun!" Said Sunlight as she used her fists and legs to decimate the whole gang, although they seemed to be skilled warrios, none of them had any experience fighting someone like her.

It was only a matter of time before Sunlight could overwhelm her enemies, while showing off her sadistic side, corrupted by evil magic, her true self that was held within was screaming for her body to stop, but the relentless attacks and movements of her body didn't respond to her, as if Sunlight's body was not hers now, the imprisonment into one's body is a torture no one should ever experience, Sunlight only sees death, her fist piercing through chests, breaking rips, tearing off arms and even using rocks to crush down her enemies, everything happening while her body only laughs. "STOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!" Shouted Sunlight from within, her body finally stopped, but not because she order it to, but because there were no more enemies left, blood is spat everywhere, and a near-death Ronin seems to be crawling away, but he can't move fast since Sunlight broke his legs and hips.

Sunlight cleans off her gauntlets and heads to the remaining survivor and steps on his wounded arm, now broken and asks him. "Where is your boat?" Sunlight's voice wasn't serious, nor it was angered, but only pitied from the sad look of her opponent, weak, bruised and helpless. "It's near this coast! Just follow the path north ward and you will find it! Please, don't kill me! I can't fight any longer!" Said the agonizing Ronin as Sunlight loos at the direction he said, she then looks back at the Ronin and says. "I could, but you already know about me, so... yeah... there can't be witnesses."

"I WON'T TELL ANYONE! PLEASE, MERCY!" Sunlight then takes off her feet away from the Ronin's arm and says. "And now you're screaming, what if someone hears you, fucker!" Said Sunlight before stomping on the Ronin's head, crushing it on the process and spatting blood on her and around the corpse. "Fuck, I got too carried away." Said Sunlight as she heads to the ocean to clean the blood off her suit, she didn't pay attention, but after looking at the oceanic water, she saw her reflection and stared at it in bewilderment.

"This... is... me?! What the...?!" Sunlight grabs her face as she rubs it, cleaning off the blood spats, while also entering a crisis, she can't find herself in that reflection, seems like Sunlight finally can fight back the necklace, but she stops, as she breathes heavily, she says to herself. "NO! Don't... let it affect you! I... need... to complete this... mission..." Said Sunlight as she head to the boat, ready to depart and sail towards Inazuma City, while the storm on the island makes her wonder what caused it, a storm within her began to form.

It only took a few minutes for Sunlight to feel the boat began to slow down, and as searches for the cause of it, she finds a small hole that's been leaking water the whole time. "For fuck's sake! Just what I needed!" Sunlight then searches for the neares island and decides to use her powers to make a power jump, unfortunately, she didn't make it to land and had to swim to the coast.

"Why are all these islands so weird?" Asked Sunlight to herself, as she began to walk across the island, but as she walks deeper into the island, the whole environment acquires a purple-like color, as if something from within affects the outside, Sunlight kept walking cautiously, but she's suddenly stopped by a barrier and in front of her, a structure built in the middle of the island reveals to her.

"What...?" Asked Sunlight with confusion, she didn't feel anything, she then stretches her hand in front of her and she feels how electric charge begins to focalize in front of her hand, not letting it pass. "Interesting... what if..." Sunlight then tried to push the barrier with her hand, but it's useless, she didn't make any progress.

"Stupid barrier! Come down!" Shouted Sunlight, after this, she created her gauntlets and tries to pierce the barrier, many sparks go flying away as the clash of electricity and dark magic, but neither the barrier nor Sunlight will back down, it's not until Sunlight managed to pierce with the tips of her fingers that she stopped and retrieved her hand. "Now I get it! It's density changes when something comes in contact with it... but how did my fingers managed to pierce through it?"

Although Sunlight's current berserk is dominant, the previous events allowed for Sunlight to take over a small part of her judgement, allowing for her to find a solution to this problem. "Inverted Polarity?... No... what can it be?..." Asked Sunlight to herself as she begins to walk around and think. "If it reacts when something comes near it... then its ionized particles respond to the electric chargeI emit, making me unable to go through... but... humans have neutral charge... unless... it's not electric charge, but matter what this is about... therefore, my gauntlets shouldn't have mass in order for my fingers to pierce..."

"Vacuum... my gauntlets are made of energy... but if it can pierce through the barrier, then they are only a projection created by my necklace... what the fuck am I saying?!" Asked Sunlight to herself as she can't believe all the words she's saying, she then sighs and approaches the barrier. "Right or wrong... I have to test this shit out." Sunlight then created her gauntlets and used both of her hands to pierce through the barrier, with effort she's managing to cut through it, after a raging shout, Sunlight pierced through the barrier.

"Holy fuck, I did it! *coughs* What?" As soon as Sunlight entered, she began to feel an ominous aura all around, which began to affect her, she then quickly created a dark magic barrier around her to protect herself. "I have to make it to the other side!" Said Sunlight with a serious voice as she began to walk, although the ominous aura wasn't helping, after going beneath the gaint structure, the effects of the aura began to increase, it kept slowing Sunlight down and increasing the pressure upon her body. It took Sunlight several minutes to reach the other side of the island, but there was another challenge before reaching safety, she had to go through the barrier, again.

"I... have... to... use, all of my strength!" Said Sunlight as she repeated the process, using her hands to pierce through it, but this time, it was ten times harder. The feeling of dying and the adrenaline running through her veins gave her the enough strength to pierce the barrier, finally reaching the other side alive, as soon as she stepped foot outside the barrier, she had the urge to shout. "HA! SUCK IT YOU STUPID ISLAND!" As Sunlight laughs histerically, she feels her body heavy, and agains her will, her eyes begin to close as she feels how her body falls to the ground.

"Did I... faint? Oh crap! Now what can... I... do...?" Said Sunlight on her mind as she fell asleep, not before hearing some voice approaching. "Did anyone else hear that?" Asked a young female voice. "Hear what, Shinobu? Don't tell me you're afraid of Tatarasuna's ghosts, ahahah!" Said a burlesque young male voice, it appears its group of people. "Uhm... Boss, you got scared bby some Onikabutos flying around when we got here." Said another male voice, after that, the Boss replies. "Akira! Ehem... of course I would be shocked by those Onikabutos, their size was amazing, also... it was the first time I saw Onikabutos fly... I had to recognize their amazingness, which almost matches mine, of course." Said the Boss proudly as they kept walking until the female voice says.

"LOOK! There's a person over there, she seems unconscious... and..." Shinobu then places her hand on Sunlight back and stopped talking. "And... what else, is she also allergic to beans?! And what's that awful smell? Smells like...?" The Boss got interrupted by Shinobu who said with a concerned voice. "Tatarigami!" Everyone's expression changed, even more when they realize many Ronins and Kairagi arrived, but they are engulfed in a dark aura which makes them more violent.

"Akira! Mamoru! Genta! Take this lady away!" Said Shinobu with a serious voice, quickly, they moved Sunlight away as Shinobu unsheathed her blade and said. "Boss, we have to take her to the Grand Narukami Shrine, as soon as possible!"

"Yeah! I know, but this dudes won't let us go... which means... HAHAHAH!"

"They will taste the might of The One and Oni, Arataki Itto and the Arataki Gang!" Said the boss revealing his name as Arataki Itto, an Oni who lives among people in Inazuma.

After this, the Arataki Gang engaged combat with the rogue samurais, as they charged with their blazing and electrified blades, while Itto used his Oni King's Kanabou and Shinobu unleashes her electro powers on her blade. "BOYS! You take the lady to the shrine, Shinobu and I will deal with this guys!" Said Itto aloud with a confident smile as he parried a hit from a Kairagi. "HAHA! LET'S DO THIS!!" Shouted Itto as he kicked the Kairagi and used his Kanabou to shatter the ground beneath their enemies. Shinobu struck as lighting among them and quickly took the down.

"Were those the last ones?" Asked Shinobu as she was about to sheath her blade, but more enemies began to appear, and the Ronins stood up again. "They're not going to give up, are they?" Asked Shinobu as she stands next to Itto, who says with a cheerful voice.

"Then neither we will, c'mon LET'S DO THIS!!" The duo then began their assault, their combined attacks of Itto's raw strength and Shinobu's speed make the perfect combination to take down all their enemies swiftly, among punches, kicks and slashes, the Boss and his Deputy managed to take down the last enemy.

"YEAH! Don't mess with the Arataki Gang if you know what's best for you!" Said Itto with a proud smile as he stands triumphant, Shinobu then says with a calmed voice as she sheathes her blade. " Boss, do you actually think they can hear you while unconscious?" Itto then widens his eyes as hi just realized of what Shinobu said, he then laughs and replies with a nervous voice. "I... I already knew that... of course... I was just... practicing for the moment I get to say it." Shinobu only smiles as she rolls her eyes over, and with a concerned voice she says. "We better go and check if the boys got to the Shrine."

"Oh, yeah! It's been quite the time already, I totally lost track of time while fighting!" Said Itto as now he and Shinobu head to the Grand Narukami Shrine, where now Sunlight is having a conversation within her imaginary prison.

"Hmmm... weird, I haven't woke up yet, my body should be really exhausted then... wait..." Said Sunlight as her chains opened and now she's able to stand and move freely. "Whaaat...?!" Asked Sunlight confused as she sees a light that becomes more and more brighter, until she's blinded by it, forcing her to close her eyes. As she slowly opens her eyes, she hears a female and soft voice.

"You're finally waking up, repeat after me. Three, two, one. One, two, three *inhales* *exhales*" Sunlight opens her eyes and sees a fox lady in front of her as Sunlight is lying on the ground.

"Three, two, one. One, two, three *inhales* *exhales" Sunlight repeated what the lady said, but she suddenly realized, she has control over her body back again, Sunlight sits and with excitement, she says. "Hold on! How can I..."

"Move your body?..." Yae Miko then moves her hand towards the Arataki Gang who got reunited with Shinbou and Itto and says. "This fine people brought you here since you got poisoned with Tatarigami, since you're clearly not from here, allow me to explain, Tatarigami are the remnants of a dead god, which manifests as negative energy." Sunlight then stands up and asks. "But how did you free me from the dark magic's control?!" Yae looks at her with a calmed expression and says.

"Ok, calm down. After cleansing the Tatarigami, I still felt darkness within you, and everything aimed to that necklace of yours, so I just some paper seals to lock down all that energy." Sunlight then looks at her necklace and there are 4 paper seals on it, her curiosity told her to try an touch them, but Yae quickly said. "Now then, I wouldn't touch them nor use the necklace's power again. Those paper seals are the strongest kind I have, but they barely managed to keep the necklace's magic at bay. I tried to exorcise the necklace, but I couldn't... whatever that thing is, it escapes my capabilites."

After hearing that, Sunlight still couldn't believe she can be herself back again, with emotion she hugged Yae Miko tightly and said at the edge of tears. "Thank you, you have no idea how much I appreciate this." Sunlight then looks at the Arataki Gang and says. "And thanks to y'all, if it weren't for you, I probably would've died."

"Don't even mention it, you needed help, we had to help you, that's what the Arataki Gang does!" Said Itto with a friendly smile, but Shinobu then said. "It was pure coincidence that we found you, but excluding that, who are you young lady?" Sunlight then began to doubt, as she needs to think of a good answer in order not to arouse suspicion, but then Yae asks.

"And are you also related to that individual... Starkiller?" After this, Sunlight widens her eyes, since she didn't expect such a statement, leaving Sunlight in a predicament, where the only thing she can say is nothing but the truth, as she musters enough valor, she prepares to reply to this descisive question.
