Xinhui looks around.
“Over here, numbnuts.” The same voice says.
Xinhui goes toward the voice.
“You wanna find your brother?” the shady figure said.
Xinhui nods. The shady figure walks up and spins their hands. Xinhui backs away but falls.
Meanwhile…
Xianghui marvels at the sandy buildings standing before him. Gray stands up, and frees the mimicsmules. Xianghui is forcibly stood up.
“We go to sleep,” Gray said.
Xianghui tilts his head in confusion. Gray starts walking on the dark, sandy road. Xianghui follows.
“To get part, we fight,” Gray says.
Xianghui asks, “So like a boss?”
“Sure,” Gray replies.
As they walk around the sand city, they see tall sandstone towers.
“This city… Very old…” Gray explains.

Xianghui nods in understanding. Then, the ground begins to shake. Xianghui looks around, surprised. Gray runs towards the source of the shaking. Xianghui has no other choice than to follow. Xianghui stops in his tracks, seeing a massive lump of sand, which seems to have eyes and a mouth.
Coming from the inside of the sand monster, Xiang heard a scream. “HELP!”
Gray started to charge towards the monster. “Help fight! Good train!”
“I don’t have a Technique, though!” Xianghui exclaimed.
“Just imbue Aura into attack!” Gray said nonchalantly.
Xiang runs over, beginning to punch the monster. The monster grabs Xiang by the arm using a new arm made of sand.
Xiang retaliates, thrusting his fist into the sand. He is immediately let go and steps back.
“This fight is just getting started,” Xiang exclaims while changing his stance into a calm pose.
Groups of shrieks and screams come from the middle of the monster. Xiang beings to sprint towards the monster once more. Punching a hole through the sand monster, a flood of people come out of the damaged area. Loud rattling comes from above. Xiang looks up to see what it is. A large heap of sand begins to fall onto Xiang. Suddenly, he is encased in a stone dome. Xiang turns around, to see Gray reinforcing the wall to protect themselves.
“I make dome around… all people,” said Gray.
Xiang hears a cracking against the wall. A sword is materializing on the wall. Xiang immediately knows what to do. Gray releases the barrier dome, freeing Xiang and the civilians. Xiang sprints toward the sand monster. The sand monster immediately turns around, sensing the sharp stone object.
Xianghui puts Aura into the blade. With one fell swoop, he cuts through the sand monster. Xiang had won. Xiang begins to walk away until he hears some shuffling behind him. Turning around, Xiang is shocked to see the sand monster once again reform. Xiang begins to run back towards the sand monster, but he stops in his tracks.
There is a red flame in the sky.
