Miho sipped her cup of tea as she was sitting beside Yura and Jihan who were eyeing on the colosseum that has been crowded with tourists and guests, she seems to be enjoying the view of the island as they were placed in the abode for the Asuras. "Huh... so how does it goes?" Jihan asked, using a fork to eat an Indonesian dessert that the servants served for them. "Sanjaya Adinata and his friends are in deep slumber, not sure when they will awake soon--perhaps when those remaining Yakshas and Devas coming here with their 'allies'," Miho explained, before she flapped her fan and looking back at the view of the island below the abode. "How's the other Asuras, Varuna?"
Yura simply sipping his cup of jasmine tea, keeping his eyes closed while looking up at the two of them. "Aranya is busy meditating in her room, as for Durga? He was monitoring the lands through his visionary eyes," he answered in his cold voice, crossing his leg as the three of them were having a tea time together. "Now let's see how this opening goes, I would like to see if they are 'worthy' enough to battle us someday," he added, before the two Asuras approaching them and watching the island from above. "We're not sure who are the guests yet, but Althair gave us the spoilers so..." Miho pouted, handing the list of guests.
Meanwhile...
Sanju was sitting on the white high throne with small stairway that faced the Earth, his head hung low with his hands on the armrest of the throne. His scruffy black hair with long messy bangs almost covering his brown eyes and his hair length reaching his neck, porcelain complexion with the slightly light brown shade and youthful feminine face. He appears to be slim and a bit muscular while he wears a general-like attributes, a white high-collared formal shirt with black accents over his dark blue pants, and white zipper from the high-collars. With the dark cyan-tinted black general overcoat was schemed with platinum shoulder epaulettes, cyan-tinted black pants, and white knee-length heeled boots.
Ever since Haruna's defeat, the ADVENT members began their 'hibernation' according to what Althair ordered them. He was unresponsive during his deep slumber, with several seals that keep him immobilized from any strong responses from waking up. Not only that but there was a secret chamber beneath his room on the fifth floor, the hidden lab was used for something else. Whatever the matter that Sanju needed to rest for a moment, in order to heal his own power by not only 'therapy' but also medication they gave to him like some sort of sedatives to stop him from thinking and hearing anything from his subordinates.
Radithya watched his son was in deep slumber, because it was his turn after his friends also gotten one. His scruffy short black hair with long bangs almost covering his dark brown eyes and cheeks, he has porcelain complexion like his son Sanju. He wears a black turtleneck underneath a black and red uniform jacket with gold epaulettes, matching pants tucked into white knee-length riding boots with black straps-along a pair of black fingerless gloves--retaining a tall, lean and muscular physique with his youthful face like the others. "Hey, are you ready for the hibernation?"
Haruse asked his colleague, watching him who turn around to face him with a scowl. "You better not separating me and Sanjaya to any fucking other locations, especially you alone--got it?" he warned in a deep tone, Haruse knew that he made a commitment to protect him throughout their time in the island--before he sighed. "Hey, you know I saved some thrones for you and your subordinates," he remarked, trying to change the topic but the latter wasn't convinced at all. "Althair..." the tone of Haruse's voice changed, an authoritative glare was replaced with a blank but worried stare that could somewhat show his concern.
It was no doubt that Haruse reminded him too much of Sanju in so many ways: attitude, appearance, and looks can be deceiving but sometimes when there's no one to watch them--they'll act very childish and petty, although most of their actions are justified. "Fine, Althair gave you the privilege to keep an eye on him and I would need your assistance to keep up with the duty, good for both of us," Yukito agreed, it will be good to give them privacy but also... not to leave them alone for days, or else it's not.
Radithya entered the throne that was on the other side of Sanju's throne, resting his eyes as he wasn't wired to be bothered by the stressful duties like what Sanju went through. Haruse put his hand on the pillar-like seal, a burst of blue flames shot out from his hand with the letters 'ADVENT' etched on the large pillars. The pillar near his position and the throne began to shake, it slowly form a barrier-like structure over the massive seal where his hand is.
Then, Haruse formed a symbol of dawn that was Radithya's stigmata as an Aruna Raksha. The effect made Radithya hissed before he slowly fell into a deep sleep, his eyes began to droop until finally... his deep breathing could only be heard and Haruse is satisfied, proceeding to his way to the other set of pillars. This time, Radithya will finally able to rest after his hard work along his son and daughter--who was Kinana who was on the other side of the throne. Sanju's breathing was a bit ragged but still, the effects of the immobilizing and sedating seal took their toll on him due to the fact that he hasn't woken up. "The others were preparing the ceremony for the day when we'll awake, so don't worry."
Raiden was on the other side of the throne, he was in deep slumber with his father Ryoma after Haruse put them into hibernation state. His purplish-black short messy hair was the same, even his closed magenta-red eyes and fair complexion. He wears a white general-like uniform with a red accents on the shoulder parts, high-collared and line to the side, matching white pants tucked into his knee-length black boots with red tips. In addition of red cape on his right side behind his back, a gold aiguillette that has cords attached into the upper black button above that symmetrical into right side-wearing a black belt with katana strapped on his right hip.
Akito was in deep slumber as well, after he was sealed alongside Kanae beside his throne. He has a short golden hair with long bangs, alabaster complexion and brown-red eyes under his half-rimmed, red sunglasses. His attire consists of general-like attributes, a white high-collared formal shirt with black accents over his dark blue pants, and white zipper from the high-collars. With the dark cyan-tinted black general overcoat was schemed with platinum shoulder epaulettes, cyan-tinted black pants, and white knee-length heeled boots.
"Akito..." Yukito muttered, watching his younger twin as he was in charge of guarding the palace with Kirana. "I'll rest with you soon, once the throne is done being activated," he promised, the feeling of sleepy was making him hard to handle this stress but at least he has the dedication and strength to endure whatever pain he would have.
Kanae was sleeping as well, while not responding to any voices. She wears a black sleeveless bodysuit under white sleeveless kimono with black and red details, with the frills to the side of her dress with the gold accents and pair of long furisode-like sleeves that similar to the crane's wings-just like the style of the tailcoat behind her. Wearing a black sash with red ribbon on the front and a pair of long fingerless black gloves, she wears a black leggings with a thigh-high black heeled boots and back heels. Along a black-gold banner around her right arm, some parts of her hair behind her ears are pulled with a black bowtie ribbon behind her head, along a vibe of a girl crush and also wear a cape draped over her shoulders-which is black and light cream color with a motifs of crane and red lotus flowers similar to sukajan jacket.
Karina also in deep slumber, her eyes remained closed. She wears a black collared bodysuit with the slits on her side thighs which shows her cleavage with straps, with separate black sleeves with slitted parts on her upper arms and wears black fingerless gloves-along thigh-high black heeled boots with golden accents and back heels with buttons. She wears a white dress-like coat over her chest with light blue diamond beads and slits that shows her thighs and back, along tailcoat and the turquoise-green cape that draped over her shoulders and revealed her upper arms-which the cape has gold buttons. Her black hair with red streaks was loose with a black bowtie ribbon behind her head, she has a blue banner around her left arm.
And lastly, Senja is in his hibernation state. He wears a dark gray formal shirt underneath his white general overcoat that has Mandarin collars, a black and red accents even on its sleeves--including an embroidery of red camellia batik colors under his coat. Lastly wearing a white pants by the black belt with rectangular gold buckle, his pants tucked into a knee-length black boots. His long overgrown mullet-like jet-black messy hair with red streaks remained the same, even his closed red eyes and fair complexion.
Althair observed all of them asleep, because this will be their one of few decades of sleeping. He hopes that it will come soon in an instant, he was planning to take his deep slumber with all of them--but he have to wait until everything is all settled. At least, he's just staying a company to them while they sleep--especially for Kirana and her father Rayhanda. Speaking of which, Sanju had his moment where he was just thinking of his friends, family and himself--when he was in a very peaceful rest.
Kirana clasped her hands, praying that all of them will be resting peacefully during their hibernation state. As she stood beside Yukito, she sighed and hoped all of them will be awakened to witness the celebration between the normal everyday people and the ADVENT members. This is no ordinary slumber they will go to, after all their reputation weren't just flaunted here. Rayhanda stood beside his daughter, holding her shoulder for a gentle assurance before she smiled a little, but keeping silent.
"Come on, let's go and rest."
While they left the high chamber, Sanju didn't move an inch and seems to not hear anyone but somehow in his calm and serene mind--he was in peace with everything. He knew that ADVENT members do anything to look after each other no matter what the situation is, by fighting against the ones who were foolish enough to break the ties even harder. For all these years, they... endure the punishment they will give to the foes who dared to touch the ones they would consider their treasures.
Althair pondered if he will be in hibernation state too, he almost reached his limit. Taking one last glance to his subordinates, he clenched his fists before releasing them. Gazing towards his gloved hands, he wore a stoic stare. Salihin watched him with his eyes closed, seeing that he still considering it. "Is there something the matter?" he asked, a bit calm tone from his voice with an eyebrow raised.
"It's a small matter, I'll rest soon enough... I will sleep with them in hibernation chamber that keeps on running."
"You don't have to force yourself."
Haruse stated, he wouldn't mind with just him remaining as a guard even though he could rest after a task... or two. Althair nodded, he'll stay with the others--just for a few moments. As he was alone for now, he saw Miho--the Flame Asura is sitting on the windowsill of the palace--looking at him who seems worried of the future outcome. Althair simply brushed it off as if it's nothing. However, despite of that... it wasn't exactly nothing. Althair could sense something in his gut, the gut feeling was about to come true and it makes him... dreading this day more than ever.
Miho floats towards him, before she landed on the tilled floor in front of him. The way her expression showed a rather painful emotion, it made Althair's brown eyes widened. He could recall several heart wrenching memories, the feeling of remorse and pain that has overwhelmed her senses were felt before she sighed. "Miho, I'm still here," Althair said, he slowly smiled. It wasn't a fake smile, his smile remains genuine and calm. Miho also smiled, the guilt and sadness in her heart was fading away and she have him to thank for, since a certain someone was on her mind in the past. "If you need me, I'll always there... everyone else will do the same."
He softly gripped her hand as he let the guilt washed over her, as long as it will never disrupt the harmony of both universe--he will be able to prevent this from getting worse. "We Asuras will handle this when the time comes, you guys aren't alone. Neither of you will ever experience the horrors of distancing or losing," Miho spoke, assuring him that the future that was coming to them, will be rather promising if the situation was right. Althair looked up to the ceiling as he thought about his dreams that will soon come true. "Come on, just like you used to say: 'as long as the moon shines on our souls, no matter how long--we will still be your family no matter how powerful you can get'."
Sanju only had two words for his thoughts, happy and peaceful. No one can disturb him anymore, however, he sees the moments where he met every ADVENT members through a flashback for the last time...
Everything, seems peaceful. His life wasn't tragic, aside from the Phantom Eruption in Yogyakarta. His closed eyes shed some tears down his cheeks, despite his slumbering state. He could no longer sense how everything around him fell into a sense of calmness, how peaceful it is... before all his memories flowed back again. How did his entire ADVENT first met, befriended, protected, and much more. His mind was seeing the flashbacks of those times and he can't stop the tears.
Radithya looked at his son who seems to cry in his sleep, before he gently rubbed his bangs--to get the few strands of his hair off his forehead. He does love his son, no matter how he tends to be strong-willed to hold off all the emotions he held inside and keeping them inside is a torture as he began shedding his tears. The effect of the sealing state makes them fell into everlasting slumber and cry, most of them had enough sleep. Radithya shed some silent tears for his son, knowing that he never experienced so many good days that even Radithya nor his siblings has a chance to experience it--before he slowly fell asleep into complete peace.
Kanae cried in her sleep, she's actually in her slumber state and unaware that she was crying her own tears while still in deep slumber. Some of them may seen in deep hibernation, but they're still in pre-hibernation in their right. Sleeping for few months will result in their actual hibernation. If one of the seals broken, it will result their offensive and defensive abilities that needed to recover or even can't use them until they've recharged, including the side effects might be causing one or several fatal or non-fatal symptoms if not treated properly.
Kinana also cried in her sleep but she did not feel it, even in her sleep-like state. However, she was aware that she was seated across Sanju and her father Radithya--while facing in different direction like statues who were already deactivated and in hibernation state, before Kanae was seated on the other side of Sanju.
Renata watched all of the Rakshas finally in deep slumber in the palace, including Kirana, Rayhanda, Yukito, Althair, Haruse and Salihin--she and Icha nodded before they walk out from the palace. "I wonder why Althair didn't let Damian and the rest in the palace..." she said, humming curiously while Icha was playing her console. "According to what Salihin interpreted, they were 'safe' from the unsealing. The palace seal will detect any threat that was trying to enter the palace itself and they'll be no exception," Icha answered before the former blinked and looked at her friend. "Just make sure that everyone was safe and well, but... it might not be good if someone dares to open the chains."
"Right."
Each two of the Rakshas will be awaken after one month hibernation and take turns in resting, they have some special guests that needed to be greet or keep an eye on them. Also, the others needed to regain their strength and sleep. The rest slept peacefully. A little does they know that one of their subordinates were able to witness them on that place. There was once an intruder who trespassed the palace, tampering with one of the seals that resulted one of the Rakshas awakened with strong murderous intent to their sleep. Just one seal that was tampered will result in immediate warning or 'on-guard' movement but most of them went for the worst and it was a disaster.

From the intruder's point of view, the person who was awakened was Radithya himself. His eyes were shimmering in red due to his eyes being bloodshot due to the early and intense awakening by the warning flag that was summoned. Unfortunately... the man was later got into the chasm after Radithya took his head and killed the intruder almost instantly, to preserve the safe hibernation. The intruder was obviously one of the World Government's agents, which make sense that Renata let them pass and meet their ends by the Rakshas. Either that or they were a fool that doesn't know what hell will bring upon their deeds to disrupt the peaceful slumber for the first time in the history--or... was it?
Not only that, the agent also caught trying to broke the seal--resulting another Raksha to awaken and his hands were on his neck, his eyes flared in red as he could feel the bones breaking. Before the Raksha could hear his pitiful screams from choking, he felt an immense heat was from the intruder's palm and watch him bursting into flames. It was Althair, who killed the government agent for disturbing his slumber state. Haruse entrusted Renata and Icha as the one who can either undo or re-seal the chains, and keep everything going smoothly after their sealed state. In addition to them, the other ADVENT members were waiting in the high chambers and could be contacted through the secret passage in the hidden section that the other members could get inside, ready to wake up the first two if any government agents trespassing again.
Even though the door was protected with an ancient magical artifact on its top arch and each of the pillars that kept the large double-door of the palace, at least if anyone would try to break a seal or unlock all of the barriers to enter the palace. Renata was sitting behind the desk to monitor the hibernating Rakshas, since it was located in the moon and the portal was opened from the palace hall. In case the same intruder will try to invade or attempting to destroy the palace's barrier, which mostly would result in death by the hands of the Rakshas. "Hm? Another intruder? This is interesting..." she muttered with a smile.
The intruder was trying to find a key to unlock the seal after he was walking a few miles away from the palace and he soon stumbled upon an abandoned black steel chest, it was rusty. However, Renata knows that treasure does not reveal unless you were worthy enough to receive them--but at this point, she doesn't need to answer his quest on opening the treasures because... it'll end him if he wishes it. Plus, any of the intruders was a threat if they know what to do. When the intruder was trying to open the chest, it suddenly burst that cracked one of the seals that took a form of the small pillar--causing one of the Rakshas awakened and immediately landed right in front of the man. The intruder tried to open fire on the Raksha before he knew his fate was sealed.
Just within a swift moment, the intruder was swiftly cut from his collarbone towards the other, resulting his decapitation--blood splattered like water droplet during a rain pouring and the chest magically vanished, it no longer appears and as if it was never exists at all. It was Kanae who killed the intruder before she return to her slumber and the seal was reformed again. Renata is aware of the Rakshas' powers and their abilities, especially their stigma. She kept in mind not to make any mistakes, but their legacy is more important than ever to pass them down to those who deserved them. The reason why they were put into deep slumber because of their Cores becoming dormant and fragile, to not misuse them--withering as the time passes by after a single use of those attacks or skills.
Another one entered, this time he brought his group of soldiers but it seems one of the agents recognized what he's doing. As they broke the four seals, it awakened the four Rakshas immediately without any warning--and immediately gave pursuit towards the enemies. For those who have witnessed such events could not believe to have them to open the seal by breaking them! To them, that are not the wisest move but that is what the intruders wished for. "Watch out!" one of them yelled, before Karina twisted his neck and leapt towards one of the agents, the latter used a metal bat to block the blade. He pushed her away, before he got stomped on the ground from Raiden's thunder strikes. "You guys are here... just to wake us up?"
Senja muttered, he cracked his neck as his messy hair were blown by the wind with Karina landed across him while she was glaring. Then, they saw some of their guards was moving towards them while some of the agents escaped through the hidden passages. However, they were met with Akito who was glaring down with his shimmering red eyes. "Seems like we have few brave intruders in the morning, really have fun with this--right?" he questioned in his low, monotone voice while taking out his katana, using his cold-blooded gaze that stabbed the enemies right away.
After that, they went back to their deep slumber while Renata disposed the dead bodies before she waved her hand towards them--she saw the barrier of the palace's magical force field being turned on after she was looking outside from the hall's windowsill. "Can I visit them?" Damian asked, he has been wanting to see them in their sleeping state as the last time he and the others barely see them when they were sleeping but at this rate--he's going to see them eventually, even though he's still not sure if Althair wasn't lying about what he hears from Salihin about their slumber will prevent the loss of power when it was depleted. "Alright, make sure you're not tampering anything with them--it could've put an impact to their Core, and it would be dire since all of them become aggressive and uncontrollable from that Core's 'lockdown'," Icha warned.
This is... the legendary seals, that keeps the members locked to their Core and preventing their powers in order to boost its' survivability and strength. The Cores will lockdown if it's too much damage in one moment, upon impact--wiping the energies off the Core completely, weakening them as the time passed. Besides, after their second awakening if their Core did not get restored yet, they will be forced to attack all while unaware of themselves and it will keep draining the Core's power.
Damian watched Sanju in his deep slumber while surrounded by his friends and family, the state of dormancy of the Core itself. He walked forward, feeling his chest ached from seeing them like this. There was a time where the Core itself... activated every single ADVENT members as if there's an emergency or accidentally turned on that their 'mad' state began to turn worse. He was about to step back until he accidentally tripped back and his hand accidentally swiped over something and it fell down--making a crash. "Ouch... eh? What's that sound?"
He quickly stood up, his eyes widened when he realized that he has a rune circle underneath him. Then, he realized that one of the seals damaged because of him and he accidentally triggered one of the pillars, causing one of them to wake up almost immediately. "Oh... fuck me..." he squeaked, turns out he woke up... Sanju.
Sanju slowly stand up, no response nor sounds at all. He was emotionless but it seemed like his movements are slow, as if... his power doesn't fully revived and he has been aware that he doesn't need to move, but because Damian was close to him--his movement became rather slow. His entire vision was blurry, he suddenly thought of one thing: kill and just... kill, not really sure what's on his mind. "Hey, Sanjaya! I'm sorry for waking you up like that... I didn't intend to, I tripped!" he reasoned, scared shitless and was backed to a corner. Sanju's mouth moved, before he said with his eyes were shimmering in red color.
"It's... fine."
He is aware what he will do at this state, although... he just couldn't help it.
Sanju swung his sword towards him, making Damian evaded his attack and stumbled. If it's like that... he might trigger another seal, but he must not harm him since Damian is an ally. "Damian, come out from that area quick or else you'll be in even more troubles," Icha ordered, she spoke through the communicator that was placed on Damian's wrist. After the former managed to open the portal to the hangar, both the former and the latter arrived through it--just in time when Sanju was about to land and trying to strike him.
Damian jumped through the portal, it vanished behind him as he was panting heavily--thank God she gave him that bracelet. "R-Right, never gonna do it again," he gulped, his face was pale and as he touched his chest, he breathed in and out. That encounter with Sanju made him terrified, as if his soul is about to leave his body. "What the fuck was that, he doesn't behave like Sanjaya himself!" he snapped.
"I told you before, if the pillar was broken or someone triggered the seal... the person will immediately wake up. At least you have learnt your lesson, Dami."
Icha explained, blowing her bubblegum from her mouth while playing with Akito's three cats under her care. "You're a different case even though you're an Empyrea Raksha, you're one of Karuna's faction since he has a full control over his Core--unlike Althair whose Core is very fragile because he has lost too much," she added, looking over at him who still looked troubled. "Don't worry, it only affects the one of the Rakshas to come out from their hibernation... in our case, you're lucky it's him."
"B-But..."
"Dami, I'm the one who puts the tablet--with Renata, right near the Rakshas. I'm the one who told you to bring the tablet, and we set up the alarm to wake Althair up. But, that's a risk to take--considering Sanjaya will immediately found you and kill you, because the Raksha inside him was taking over him and without a vessel, their own mind-selves will turn for the worse."
"Well... fuuuuck..."
She pat his shoulder, before walking past him as he remained standing--he sighed while Icha seemed unbothered or caring in general. "But, they'll be back to normal because hibernation is the only way so the Core can stabilize for months. No one... will never know how it turns out when all of the seals opened, so we will know soon as it was delayed."
"At least, right after they finish meditating..."
Sanju sensed the seal began to reformed, before he return back to his throne and sat there--still in complete silence before he fell asleep. The rest also still in deep slumber, Kanae returned first due to her sleeping state been forcibly undone after her Core's pillar was somehow active but again, the seal has prevented her true strength. Especially her mind was not at ease to sense what around her surroundings. Karuna visited the palace with his subordinates of Nirvana Organization, the Superintendent glanced at Renata. "How are they? Did they have awakened?" he asked.
"Almost, but Damian accidentally released him from his deep slumber," Renata answered, before showing Karuna the footage where Sanju was waking up. His eyes narrowed, how come the Core reacted that way? There must be something wrong here if Sanju doesn't know what's going on in that position, and he cannot save his allies at this rate. "Right, he would never become uncontrollable--not on my watch," Karuna promised. His daughter Vanya was playing with Icha who was showing her the game she just made and played recently on the monitor, making sure that she's distracted from the topic.
Kasai hummed, she wanted to test it out but she might get scolded--Kashiya also sensed the aura in the throne room becoming tense ever since the news came out. "They're fine, even though they're in their meditative state as if they're 'asleep' but... they will be awaken someday so they can full-power over the Cores," Elden assured his superior, while Jaemin glaring at the portal as he sighed. "Do you want to test it out or not?" Kasai shrugged. "Then, come on... I'm not letting you or your partners to go there, for that fact. You guys are not Asuras, so there's no reason to do that--it's not a wise move if you trespass that area," Elden responded.
"We can test it out, I need to make sure if the Core will awake anytime soon and it must be today!"
Seong-hwa interrupted, he was the one who had enough. As they disappeared from the crowd, out of Karuna's sight. As they were ready to enter the palace, Elden suddenly sensed something is wrong. "Wait, guys! Don't touch the seals!" he exclaimed as he tried to stop them but it's no avail as Kasai and Seong-hwa have approached to the pillar near the pillars, he was relieved that they didn't touch it but... that thought won't last.
Karuna narrowed his eyes, before he took a step forward. "Let me handle this shit, stay here, Elden--you already helped us get a clue to the best solution so far," he said, before he simply pressed the seal's button as the door was sliding open and revealing the Rakshas still in their deep slumber. As they stared down to the slumbering High Calamity, Kasai gulped as she took one step behind. "O... kay, I think we're done here, no point waking them up..." she muttered, fear can be heard from her voice and Seong-hwa wasn't confident as well. Suddenly, a surge of anger and fear swept up through their minds before Elden sensed something was off and Karuna was glancing at them.
Jaemin touched the pillar seal for a moment, until he realized that was the trigger of two of the seals opened in order for them to be awaken. Karuna looked up to see who will be awakened, before he saw Akito and Kinana were awake and now...
Being more menacing with their eyes burned to red color as they don't give a single crap that they will kill any beings that was close to them, his eyes scanned the entire room to find all the available targets. "Hey, it's us guys! Don't attack us!" Kasai yelled, before Kashiya frowned. "It's no use on reasoning with them, their Cores were taking over their senses and thus their actions. They'll fight us even we're their friend, or family," Kashiya explained, she placed her hand on her right chest before she took a quick glance to the seal. "We have to find a solution so they won't kill us the moment they get mad," she stated. "Or should we fight back? You know, fist against fist?" she added with a smile.
Elden shook his head, it'll not going to work. "They will not stop until they kill the target, no mercy for anything... even for us. Because no one will go down until someone loses," he responded, they are no different than wild animals--an aloof beast that thirsts for the blood of their own kind.
Karuna closed his eyes, the Mahesvara began to use his ability in commanding the destruction and space-like area became like an empty void, they're in their own protective force field. "We need to go, the Cores do not know no matter what they will face us," Karuna snapped as Elden pulled Kasai out, making Kashiya and the Nirvana Organization's members retreating as Jaemin stood beside Karuna. 'Perhaps we can stun them, but how...?' he thought, until his eyes landed at Jaemin--who happens to be not only the Secretary-General but Mahamayuri Raksha as well. "Jaemin, can you stun them at once?"
Jaemin heard his question, before he gripped his spear-like staff. "It's better to do so, Boss... perhaps using the stun gun might work, but let's try a lesser method--by bringing their sense of their weakness," he answered, slamming his spear to the ground as he glared. As he take out his stun gun, he aimed them at Kinana and Akito. Both Elden and Jaemin stepped back. "Are you sure it's not gonna hurt them?" Elden questioned him, the other nodded as he nodded before Jaemin just simply pressed the trigger.
"No, it's just an electric shock."
The electric force began to blast against Kinana and Akito's body, they are trying to resist the wave. Then, he shot the seal with the stun gun, reforming the seals back that made the two of them stopped--before they went back to their thrones and sat down; falling asleep again. Karuna managed to enter the palace safely, avoiding all of the trigger--it's almost looked like a challenge to even make it without the others were awakening again and continue the slaughtering. "You must use the stun gun to keep them at bay, then shoot the seals to reform the lock," Karuna commented to the duo who remained unresponsive.
Kasai gritted her teeth, as she accidentally hit the pillar by her katana's blade--making them wide-eyed that the fucking seal is crushed by accident again. This time, Yukito woke up as he stood up calmly with blank expression. Elden flinched, hoping they won't have to end like the other intruders. "Don't move... he might attack you," Elden gulped, they began to stay still--making sure if he react or not. 'Please calm down, don't awaken your Core now...' he thought, Jaemin seemed distracted as Yukito glanced at Elden. "Oh, shit."
"Don't speak!" Kashiya whispered, he nodded as Yukito was eyeing his surroundings. Seemingly his mind was too damaged to know what's going on, since he is the Flower Raksha--Yukito often slept when he wasn't busy and in hibernation state, his Core could become either very unstable and fragile--or be at ease to restore and heal. He slowly sat down and went back to his deep slumber and the seal began to reform again, much to their relief--then, they tried to do something stupid. Jaemin threw another electrical shot to the same pillar, Kasai was getting irritated as she swung her blade towards the pillar after the impact.
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!"
Karuna snapped, they couldn't get them in his peaceful rest after this, right? It would be even worse if Elden accidentally activated his Core which isn't at peace to continue and put on its' lockdown state to become dormant state. They saw Haruse woke up and they remained still, not wanting to make any move for his Core's state and whether it's locked or not in the hibernation state. As a man with the cold demeanor, Haruse appeared to be irritated and pissed-off due to their action. He turned around, noticing that only the two people were still there and it caused him to become more infuriated. "Haruse, we can explain--"
"Why do I think of... strangling the both of you?"
Jaemin shot the seal with the stun gun, making the seal formed back and Haruse fell down and seated back on his throne--falling back into deep slumber. "Let's get out of here," Seong-hwa muttered, the Nirvana Organization members began to leave--not planning to do such bullshit unless they want to be slaughtered.
As the island opened for public, they realized that it will began soon.

"AAAHHH!!!"
Althair woke up from the nightmare that he had just now, he was panting heavily as he sat up and look around his master bedroom. He sighed, shaking his head as he really need to inform Salihin on how to prevent that event--as a script supervisor. "Guess that I'm going to talk to him soon..." he muttered, before he began to get himself dressed.
