Cross had been stunned from Naraku's air assault. He got on his feet and saw hundreds of dead body's with flaming pieces of debris and rumble all over the place from the airships in which the Oppo Militia came in. He looked for his friends and saw that they survived the air assault. Charles had been killed by the air assault. His body which a bloody mess. The only one who was likely to survive the air assault rather than Cross and his friends was Riddler. His spiritual essence could be sensed but he was not in sight. Riddler was watching the surviving soldiers get back on their feet. When he was about to go kill his enemies, Val appeared behind him. "Lord Val did you had a run-in with the ambusher?" asked Riddler. " Yes." "But that is not important right now." I require the other half of the soul." "My true form will be seen." Riddler did not want him to get the other half of his soul. If he could destroy the other half of Val's soul, he could a higher chance of killing him. They both disappeared and appeared in front of the castle's gates. The castle was a rumble. They would have to go under it.
