-GOKI: It's all over for you, you creature.
- Hiruko: Well done Goki, I'm proud of you.
- GOKI: You can thank me after I've paid your debt.
-FREDERICO: You can let him go, Selene. All he has to do is disintegrate and become a plant.
-Selene: OK, now we can go back to Ismael, the coward, and say that a coward like Hiruko stayed to fight.
-heh, I got a lot closer to that creature than any of you did, and without getting hurt either, I can confidently say.
-Uli: You just did the minimum act, even Frederico would have done it if he'd been given the task.
-Selene: Hey Goki, what are you waiting for to get off that monster, or do the Draugr turn you on?
-GOKI: I've only been trying for a few seconds now, but I can't do it.
-SELENE: What do you mean you can't?
-GOKI: My blade is stuck in his abdomen and I'm trying to pull it out with all my might.
-Uli: Your blade's stuck and shouldn't he have turned into a plant by now?
-FREDERICO: Hey buddy, get off that creature!
-GOKI: There's no way I'm leaving my katana here.
-Get off her quickly if you don't want to die,' said FREDERICO, overcome by the fear of what was about to happen.
In fact, with his sword on the monster's abdomen, Goki realised that the beast was not in fact dead and that it was in the process of grabbing him. GOKI jumped back several steps and quickly moved away from the beast, which was still alive despite the rupture of its core.
-Uli: What? Why is it still alive? Didn't you hit it properly, Goki?
GOKI: Of course I did, I broke its core.
-FREDERICO: If that's the case, after what we've done, then it must have a second core and we're in the presence of a jengu, so to speak.
-ULI: I'm afraid so. And we don't have the means or the skills to confront this creature.
-SELENE: What do we do, ULI? Do we run away?
-ULI: That's our only option.
-GOKI: Shit, I'll come back for you.
-HIRUKO: Careful, GOKI, get away from him, he's launched his attack.
As HIRUKO pulled GOKI away, the latter launched a magical laser beam from the draugr that pierced HIRUKO's left ribs and SELENE's stomach.
-ULI shouted: 'HIRUKO, SELENE!'
Uli escaped and was caught by one of the spikes thrown at him by the Draumr. Amazed that this beast was able to regenerate so quickly to catch up with him while having doubled its speed, Uli was expecting him to be dead when he saw the beast stand up on its two legs, letting out a scream and preparing a new orb that he intended to throw at them with a laser. But just then, Ismael appeared as his saviour and tore off both of the beast's legs for a second time, causing it to fall to the ground. FREDERICO and ULI were astonished to see Ismael.
-FREDERICO: Ismael, are you back?
-ULI: But why have you come back? We did everything we could to make sure you got away unscathed. What's more, you shouldn't have come back. That monster is a JENGU draugr. It has two cores and a faster regeneration rate than normal draugr. Didn't you have better things to do than run into the lion's den?
-Ismaël: What are you talking about? JENGU or not, that's no reason to run away. And abandoning your comrades who are fighting, alone, and feeling like a warrior afterwards, that's not honest where I come from. To leave a lady in the middle of danger, no matter how tough the enemy.
-Uli: run away Ismaël, you still have your strength.
-No, I'll never leave my comrades alone. Ismaël said as he drew his weapon and attacked the draugr with weak fists, his neck and between his legs. But the draugr raised its spikes, which pierced Ismaël's heel and tendon.
-Ismaël: hahaha. Shit, I didn't last long.
And the beast wanted to devour him, seeing Ismaël motionless in front of it. Suddenly, Hiruko appeared in front of Ismaël, facing the beast, her face bloodied, and said:
-Hiruko: We've tried the easy way with you, you bastard! Now we're going to do it the hard way.
The moment he saw the beast's big snout coming towards him, he decided to hold the beast's big, powerful snout with both arms to stop it devouring him and Ismaël.
Hiruko: 'Don't hope you'll devour me so easily, you're the one who'll be devoured, you dirty beast.'
Uli: Hope? No, Hiruko is crazy, he can't hold his mouth like that, he's going to break his arms.
Suddenly, Ismaël, using his last bit of strength, slices the creature's jaw with his weapon.
Uli: No, Ismaël is giving it his all, even though he's got farting legs. I've got to pull myself together and go and help them, he's opened up a path of hope with this act.
Hiruko: Thank you very much, my friend, so I can get his face out of the way.
Hiruko, using the opening Ismael had created for him, had the strength to spread the beast's muzzle wide and, while holding it, he turned the beast over on the ground, leaving its belly exposed.
-Uli, go on, I can't hold on much longer! shouted Hiruko.
Uli came down from above to deliver the final blow to the beast, neutralising both its cores at the same time. The creature howled in pain and breathed its last.
-Frederico: Get away from him, he'll either explode or use his spikes before he putrefies.
-Hiruko: Ah! Bad luck for me.
But Goki, flying to their rescue to keep them away, Ismael and Uli, saved Selene and they left to take refuge in the ruins when the beast exploded.
- Hey, mate, I think you've paid your debt, don't you?
- Goki: Not yet, you've saved me twice so that makes it 2-1 in your favour.
- Hiruko: Let's make it 3-1 then, seeing as I brought this with me. He held up his katana, which was stuck in the draugr's abdomen.
-Goki was astonished and thanked him for his deed, but Hiruko told him he could thank him by hanging out with them until he'd paid his debt, which made Goki smile.
-Uli: Selene, Selene, please stay with us.
- Ismaël: No shit, Selene, I've got medical skills, but with an injury of this magnitude, I won't be able to heal it.
- Uli: Try first, do everything you can to save her.
- Ismaël: Shit, we're losing her.
- Hiruko: No, not that, the same scenario again.
Frederico placed a device on Selene's stomach.
- Uli: Take that off, can't you see we're busy? We've got no time to lose.
As he tried to remove what Federico had put on Selene's stomach, Goki stopped him and said:
Goki: Stop it, just look at what's happening.
-Uli: What do you think is happening?
-I'm sewing his tissues back together and giving him some stem cells.
-Uli: You didn't tell me you were a magician with medical skills.
- There's nothing magical about what I'm doing here, it's all science and fortunately she'll be fine, but she'll need to rest a bit to regain her strength.
Uli looked at the face, took the temperature with his hand and realised that the fever had gone down and that Selene was now feeling better.
He did the same with Ismaël and Hiruko, and they all got better and recovered from their wounds.
- Uli: But her wound has closed and she's stabilised, I can't believe it. Thank you very much, Frederico.
- Frederico: You're welcome. After all, comrades are supposed to help comrades. And seeing as I wasn't really involved in the battle, hahaha. So, Hiruko, how are you feeling?
Hiruko: Thanks a lot, I'm feeling better now. I don't know what you did, but I feel even stronger than before.
-Frederico: Don't exaggerate, my friend, because you need to rest too.
-Hiruko: Thank you so much for saving Selene's life. I'm infinitely grateful.
- Frederico: Don't worry, just let me continue the adventure with you, even if I'm not very good at fighting. And you, Ismaël, how's your foot?
- Ismaël: I'm fine too, and I can walk. I don't know how you managed this miracle, but that's not important. What's important is that Selene was in a bad way, compared to the rest of us. We thank you on her behalf.
- Goki: And who are you, Frederico?
-Hiruko: Hey, a little gratitude. Frederico has just saved our lives and Selene's.
- Goki: I'm not refusing, but given what he's just done, I think he's hiding something from us.
- Uli: Is it true what he says, Frederico?
- Hiruko: What? I don't care who he is, the main thing is that he saved our comrade's life.
- Ismaël: It's true, young Hiruko is right, and Frederico isn't our enemy.
- Goki: I think he's being secretive. Tell me who you are!
-Frederico: Well, well, don't get carried away Goki, I'm not as weird as you think.
-Who are you?
Frederico replied with a smile: 'Let me introduce myself: FREDERICO GRIMALDI.
-Uli, Hiruko and Ismael: WHAT???? Did he say GRIMALDI?
- Frederico: Yes, in the flesh, folks, and I'm here to serve you too!
