Sazang woke up, tied up to a pillar. In the other 4 pillars there were Thea, Ethan El and Ajesh. “Oh you woke up” One man said. He had black hair, was wearing two bracelets, a half sleeve shirt, and jeans. “Your gods know our gods, but you don’t know us, so allow us to introduce ourselves.” the other one said. He was wearing the same thing, except the bracelets were purple and he was wearing shorts. “I’m your humble taxi driver, Haoyu. Nova of Monster King Garuda. This is Yuxuan, Nova of the original Garuda. We are known as the Garuda brothers, and we were assigned to capture Ajesh. A little birdie told me that Wukong led you guys to China, so we saw a golden opportunity.” The purple bracelet one said. “We’re gonna take Ajesh to his personal cell for pickup. You guys have fun here.” Yuxuan told the 4. He picked up the unconscious Ajesh and walked away. When they left, a projection of Wukong near Ethan and a projection of Hanuman near Sanzang appeared. Ethan woke up, looking at the two monkeys. “I TOLD YOU IT WAS A BAD IDEA!” Hanuman yelled at Wukong. “I DIDN’T KNOW MONSTER KING GARUDA HAD A BAD NOVA!? HOW IS IT MY FAULT.” Wukong yelled back. “Oh yeah Ethan by the way I got you here your welcome.” Wukong said to Ethan, who was still dazed. “No, no, you're welcome!”. As Ethan was about to yell at Wukong both Wukong and Hanuman disappeared. Sanzang looked around, and thought to himself about what was going on. “Isn’t Garuda a good guy? And he uses Divine Soul, shouldn’t he be nice?” Sanzang exclaimed. “Soul doesn’t define what a person is like, it just is determined by what the Nova uses. Take Ethan for example. He uses chaos, but he isn’t a villain. Only in Overflow is he actually a threat.” El said, stumbling his words due to being half awake. “Rude.” Ethan replied to El. Thea was still asleep, but subconsciously shaking the chains that kept her on the pillar. Sanzang was staring in the air, looking around. He heard a helicopter in the distance. “Wait…that must be the helicopter that’s gonna take Ajesh!” Sanzang yelled, waking Thea up. El and Ethan discussed trying to break out, but Thea was more focused on Sanzang. Sanzang was looking at the ground, mumbling to himself. Thea couldn’t tell what he was saying, but noticed his eyes. His left eye was flashing red, and his right eye gold. Both of his eyes started sparking with electricity of the corresponding color. Both of the Garuda Brothers flew in with their wings on, and stayed in the air. “What’s going on with him?” Haoyu asked. “I don’t know, but it can’t be good.” Yuxuan answered, but before Haoyu could flap his wings to blow a gust of wind at him, Sanzang was suddenly above and behind him, ready to kick. His left eye was red and right eye gold. He struck Haoyu with a Divine Soul imbued kick into the ground, causing a massive explosion and destroying the surrounding area of the building. He then used wind to push himself to the wall and jumped at Yuxuan, throwing him through the ceiling of the building. He landed on the ground, putting himself in a fighting stance as Yuxuan and Haoyu flew back to the ground prepared to fight him. El and Thea watched, and Ethan kept shaking his hair. “I just need one hair to come out and we’ll be fine.” Ethan said. Haoyu and Yuxuan both put their arms back and swung their feathers, launching them. “Our god’s armor ability? Launching feathers at the speed of sound.” Haoyu yelled, even though he sent less feathers than Yuxuan. Sanzang was able to deflect most feathers, but some slashed at his shirt, ripping it. He swung his leg to the side, up, and then slammed it into the ground, sending a shockwave right in the Garuda Brothers direction. He followed it up by dashing behind them and put his hand on both of their faces, slamming them into the ground. Back at Ethan, one of his hairs fell out. “Hair, transform!”. The hair transformed into a clone, who unlocked Ethan Thea and El, then disappeared. They all got up, looking for things they could transform into their weapons, but then Sanzang yelled at them, in a commanding and booming voice. “Don’t try to fight! Get out and get Ajesh.”. “We’ll help, you can’t beat th-” as Thea was about to finish her sentence, Sanzang yelled back “THAT’S AN ORDER. GET AJESH AND THEN GET OUT OF HERE.”. They all were shocked and confused, never seeing Sanzang say anything remotely like that. Right after Sanzang finished yelling, Yuxuan was above him, trying to dash down with his legs. Sanzang grabbed a leg and threw him into a wall. Haoyu got up, with his god’s armor disabled, he tried to punch Sanzang, but Sanzang elbowed him in the gut, quicker than he could see. Haoyu got knocked out. As he stretched, a beat played, a super fast pop beat. “For gods sake, he activated Rhythm. What a pussy.” Sanzang complained. Yuxuan dashed at Sanzang, slashing his body with his feathers, flying across the room at speeds barely comprehensible. After Yuxuan finished, he went back to the door to open it, disabling his Rhythm and God’s armor. Sanzang was barely phased, with his body bleeding everywhere. “Done already? Disappointing. Mount of Indra but you can't last more than 5 seconds.” Sanzang complained. He readied for a kick. Yuxuan prepared to block but it was too late. Sanzang was already in front of him, and he hit a roundhouse kick to Yuxuan’s face, causing a shock wave of Chaos and Divine Soul that shattered the windows and caused cracks in the walls. “W-what? What are you?” Yuxuan asked as he was on the floor, struggling to crawl away. Sanzang cracked a smile. “I’m the Lord of Havoc.” he declared, before stomping on his spine, paralyzing Yuxuan. “You’ll be fine. Walk it off. Oh wait!” Sanzang laughed. He walked outside and saw everyone running to stop the helicopter that was holding Ajesh. But as they got up, they saw something get up from the ocean. A man around 6 feet tall with pure red eyes, a corrupted black and gold aura and a messed up out of sync beat was emanating from him. “Lysander? Long time no see!” Ethan yelled, jumped down to greet him. Lysander punched Ethan into the ground, and kept on beating him down. Sanzang laughed seeing this event, and started running up the walls. Ethan got up and manifested his staff using a stick. Thea found a larger stick and manifested her Spear of War. El stayed back to watch the fight. Lysander was beating them all down, with no effort, breaking their bones. El raised his left arm, his only arm, and a large blue shockwave was sent. Lysander was paralyzed, and he fell to the ground, returning to his normal state. “I was able to break his Rhythm. He might get back up, I’m not that good as I used to be. But all of the electricity and machines in the area should be disabled. Go get Ajesh.” El told them. “Who are you to tell me what to do, Old Man. I’m gonna go make sure those two brothers are gone for good.” Sanzang replied angrily. El stared at him, filled with rage. “I SAID GO GET YOUR BROTHER, WHAT’S GOTTEN INTO YOU, THAT WAS YOUR ORDER DIPSHIT!”. “THAT WAS MY ORDER TO YOU, I’M GONNA TAKE CARE OF THEM.” Sanzang snapped back. Sanzang walked back to the building, and then collapsed in a burst of red and gold light. “Alright, go get Ajesh?” Thea asked. “Thea, carry Sanzang, Ethan I’ll get Ajesh with you.” El instructed them. Thea quickly carried Sanzang, and when they got to the helicopter, it was empty. No one was in sight. Then in the distance they heard a roar. A dragon made of red and black energy flew into the air, with Ajesh and a woman wearing a suit with green and black hair on it. They flew away, sending Ethan and El in shock. Lysander got up, confused about what happened. His hair was messed up and scars that weren’t on his body were suddenly there. “Sorry guys. I don’t know what happened.” Lysander said, struggling to stand up. As they all got down and headed for the exit, they were met with a girl that was wearing goggles and a scarf covering her face, accompanied by battle armor. She had her hand up with a fireball in it, but then lowered it and took off her goggles. “Ethan…?”
