As the elevators holding both the Faimasa clan and the Black clan finally touched the ground with a loud "wham", Ikama, looking up at his base, gasped in dismay. "W-What the hell happened down here…?" he thought to himself. Scurrying through the rocks to find the cause of the massive destruction, Ikama was left frozen.
The corpse of his former business partner, Hakim Faimasa, was lying on the ground, coughing up tremendous amounts of blood. "HAKIM!" Ikama exclaimed, slapping him repeatedly. "YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?" Opening his right eye, Hakim smiled. "Always… have…. Been…" he said before fainting onto the rock solid ground.
The entire cave stood silent as Ikama stood upon the corpse of his old friend.
Namo, continuing up the everlasting slopes of the Umue Mountains with his hook smeared with dark red blood, scoffed as he looked at his escorts. "How long until we get there? To me, it looks like the sun is about to set." he said as his hook coiled around his body, creating particles of red snow wherever he walked. Glancing at a paper he had found on the floor a while back, he let out a smile of celebration. "Hakim… I walked so you could run. I hope you're doing well as a king along with your country…"
Boy, was he wrong with that statement.
Suddenly, 5 masked men wearing all black stormed up to the Trka party despite their ambitions being unknown. Using their swords to try and get to Namo, he looked at his sharp red hook that seemed to shine for an eternity. "Come closer, and your blood will be on this too!" he exclaimed, licking the already present blood. As the other man stormed up to him, Namo easily executed his counter, blocking the sword in an instant. "If you wanna beat me, you have to try harder!" he said, slaughtering the first soldier that dared to mess with the president of Trka. Suddenly, another wave of soldiers appeared, attempting to execute a surprise attack on the Trka party. Extending his hook via a chain, Namo continued his onslaught on his attackers, destined to stand victorious. Looking around to see if there were any more enemies to kill, Namo smiled, continuing with his escorts through the harsh mountains of Umue. Back where the corpses lie, a hand popped out of the mountain, followed by a giant head. As the bodies tumbled lower into the mountain, the monster revealed itself as the legend itself, UUDKW. As it glanced at Namo viciously through the freezing blizzard, it proceeded to chuck a giant rock at Namo at full strength and speed, leaving him in an unpleasant and unknown death. As the rock continued to soar through the massive blizzard, Namo was able to cut it in half, revealing his opponent.
He froze. "The legends are real…" he thought to himself, adjusting the glasses that bordered his bloodshot eyes from the snow, accompanied by his red hair. As the entity stared him off through the beautiful yet terrifying views of Umue, all Namo could do was sulk with excitement. "Finally! I haven't did this in years!" he exclaimed, charging up to the legend itself. The Mountain Entity was presumed fake for decades, bringing the myth status of the story to a complete halt. UUDKW was real, indeed.
As Gerald and Samantha finally arrived at the venue, as soon as they got to the top of the mountain, they were left speechless. First off, multiple cracks were currently showing on the surface of the mountain! Gerald nudged Samantha. "I told you it was real, Samantha!" he exclaimed, chuckling. Samantha growled. "The way you put it sounded like a legend, idiot!" Gerald sighed. "Anyway, we've arrived at the venue, where all the four leaders of Nahata sit in one room, fighting about some useless shit that we won't care about until we're over 18." Suddenly, both of their jaws dropped in shock. "Is that… who I think it is?" Samantha thought to herself, crying as if an onion was being brought dangerously close to her eyes. "ALEX!" they both exclaimed, running up to the venue. Although Alex was excited to see his friends after multiple years, he couldn't console himself after hearing the terrible news Jayden had announced back in the meeting room. Before either of them could hug him, tears streamed down his cheeks as he opened his mouth.
"I-I'm not coming back to Crystal City." he exclaimed in pure sadness.
Everyone stood silent. "It's been a few years since we saw each other, and now you can't even stay with us for at least a month?" Alex continued his bawling, pulling out a tissue from his pocket. "I promised all those years ago after we rescued Ash… that I would return shortly after. Before my voyage was set to end, I kept getting wrapped up in a lot of dark stuff with Aybara and other mafias nationally, causing myself to be a major threat not only here, but worldwide. Ash said to me all those years ago that Uka would be the one to kill all the pristine entities, leaving them all to die and creating a new era in this wretched world, but it seems I am not him after my multiple attempts to hunt for Gaian. Gerald gasped. "Y-You hunted for Gaian?" Alex fell to his knees. "YES! IT WAS THE MOST PAINFUL EXPERIENCE EVER, GUYS!" Samantha looked at her other friend in a loss of words. "Did you atleast get away safel-"
Alex pulled up his shirt, revealing a massive scar that Gaian, The Lightning Titan, had casted upon him. "Now, I have moderate power of a pristine entity, making me primarily uncontrollable. I really wish I could've returned to Crystal City, but Jayden has turned me down after everything he has seen in the news upon my departure. If you can do anything about this, PLEASE help me!" he said, sobbing into the white snow. "I WANT TO JOIN TEAM ENTITY!"
