The area is quiet as Himawari and Aqua stare down Maruki, who starts walking towards them. "Be on guard everyone, and whatever you do, do not let him touch you," Destiny says as she starts using the surrounding water to create spears with it. Maruki places his hands in his pockets and says. "Please, I don't even need to touch you people to kill you, that would be too easy. I can kill you with my hands in my pockets. "Oh, you are very confident aren't you?" Himawari says as he starts to float from the intense winds swirling around her. "That overconfidence will be the death of you Maruki!" Aqua says as she and destiny throw their water attacks at Maruki. The attack goes through him with ease as he continues to walk towards them. He then phases through the ground and pops up in front of them. Himawari pushes Aqua towards Destiny as she blocks his kick. The impact from the kick is so strong that it causes a creator to form in the center of the ground. Maruki then phases underground and appears in front of Aqua and Destiny and reaches his hand to grab the stone around Aqua's neck. Destiny then pulls Aqua away from her and creates a water blade to strike him. The first attack goes through him, but Himawari appears behind him and tries to kick him in the head. Rafu appears slightly flustered as he jumps in mid-air to dodge. Himawari realized this and starts pressuring Maruki. "So that's the extent of your abilities? If that's the case, let me see how much I can push it!" Himawari says with intensity in her eyes.
Around the same time, at the Rajin Village, Sparks circumnavigate through the air as Bolt and Jinzo fly around to attack Rafu. Rafu teleports at high speeds, dodging the strikes with ease. "What's wrong guys? Aren't you the fastest clan alive or are you just another half-baked failure masquerading as a superior clan!" This ticks off Bolt as veins start popping out of his head in anger. "How...DARE YOU!" Bolt says as he tries to charge in to strike Rafu. However, Jinzo grabs him and says "Bolt! Don't be a fool and fall for his tricks. He is trying to get in your head!" Bolt then backs off and takes a deep breath. "You right Jinzo, I'll calm down. Bolt says as they both land on the ground. "We got to come up with a plan or else we will exhaust our spiritual energy before we can defeat him. Rafu laughs at them as he teleports in front of Bolt and punches him. Bolt blocks it, however, the impact is so strong that it sends him flying. "So fast!" Jinzo says as Rafu teleports in front of him and kicks him the chin. The constant barrage of attacks continues as Rafu teleports from Jinzo to Bolt instantaneously. "He is so fast! I can't think quick enough to block his attack!" Jinzo says as he jumps in the air and launches a large amount of electricity at the ground. "Raijin Art- Strike of Set!" The lighting spreads around the ground causing Rafu to leap in the air. "Got you! Rajin Art-Fulgora's Lariat!" Bolt says before striking Rafu with a high-speed lariat to his throat. A second before the attack lands, Rafu teleports out-of-the-way causing Bolt to strike the ground. "Just how fast are his teleporting abilities?" Jinzo says as he starts to sweat.
While both fights are going on, Debiddo is speeding through the Limbo outskirts like a flash of light. "The site of the last demon war eh, I'm really glad that I did that research on my clan. Who would have thought that it would be 20 kilometers away from the Hikari village." Debiddo says as he approaches the village. He stands on top of a mountainscape that towers over the dark and morbid land. The once vibrant white sand turned black from the decaying blood that stained the aging battlefield. The wind itself mourns for the fallen Mobbure clan members that lost their lives with its haunting howl. Otisu walks through the sand with Kurisuto and Maria walking around the bones of his fallen brethren. He looks up at Debbido as he smiles and waves to him. Disgusted, Debiddo leaps from the mountain and lands in front of Otisu. "Welcome Debiddo...Welcome to the darkest part of our clan's history!" This is the place where all of our family got killed by the demons and the chasers who were supposed to protect us." Otisu says as he picks up a skull from off the ground. "These are the bones of our family who fought alongside me, who ate with me, who drunk with me, and the ones who I loved dearly." Otisu then points the skull at Debiddo. "You were chosen as the one who would lead our clan out of extinction. The one who would protect the Mobbure clan name, and what you do with this honor? You slap us in the face and betrayed us! For what? Some flimsy line you call honor?"
"Don't you dare spit that nonsense to me! You lied to me, You killed when it was unnecessary, and you altered my mind to make me believe that the people that were in limbo weren't targeted, but in reality, they were killed and their buildings were destroyed!" Debiddo says clenching his fists. "What you are doing is pure evil. Innocent people were killed, and you want to kill more of them when you achieve the power of a god!" "Evil? Don't be such a child!" Otisu says as he places the skull down in the sand with care. "There isn't such thing as Good and Evil, it's only what is wrong and right deemed by the person who has all the control. If a person steals food, but it is because they are poor and can't feed their family and are on the verge of starvation, do you condemn them, or do you give them some more food to make sure they are fed? If a soldier has to kill an enemy to protect his nation, but that person they killed had a family, Do you pat them on the back or do you reprimand them? If someone killed your loved one and they are right in front of you, you wouldn't seek your vengeance?" Debiddo then thinks about the demon who killed his mother and classmates. "Debiddo, the world, whether it be on earth or limbo, is a grey area when it comes to morality, and we can only go for what we believe is right for ourselves. Even now, you made a choice to fight against your family for what you believe is right, but ask yourself this, am I really doing anything another person would do if they were in my place?
Debiddo stayed silent for a minute. He takes a deep breath and holds his mother's stone in his hand. He then thinks of his mother and his father, while he clenches the stone. "You know Otisu, you are right, when I first became a chaser, all I had in my head was revenge. Revenge on the people who killed the ones I loved...All I wanted to do is kill them and avenge everyone, but because of that, I was blinded. I killed the two people who were the reason everyone I loved on earth was dead and got my vengeance. However, after doing so, I attacked those who fought alongside me. I wanted to kill them. I wanted to kill everyone. I was happy that I killed those demons, however, their deaths just lead to more questions, that I couldn't ask them because they were dead. I think that was the main reason why I followed you. I wanted to know more about what happened to my family. I wanted to know who I was. Was I a human? a Hanshi? A chaser? A Mobburi? A Hikari? After being in both worlds for so long, I realized that neither your ideals nor the ideals of the chaser organization are what I want to follow. I met people and demons who were actually good, they taught me that I shouldn't do something just because someone else said it was good or evil, I should do what is morally right to me! I will follow my own path, and right now, it's telling me to stop you!" With this, Otisu starts laughing.
"Very well, I guess there isn't another option," Otisu says as he walks away. "Kurisuto...Maria...kill Debiddo and take his stone. Once we obtain our goal, we will revive him alongside the rest of our family." "B...But" Kurisuto says. "Are you disobeying me Kurisuto? Do I need to discipline you again!" Otisu says he turns his head slightly. "N-No, sir!" Kuristo says, cowering in fear. This angers Debiddo more as he thinks back at the smiling face of Kurisuto while he was with him. "What did you do to your son, to make him scared of you like this? You don't even treat your own son with any respect! "How are you going to talk about doing everything for our clan when you the main one treating them like trash. "Well, if you really want to defeat me, then defeat my son and Maria. I will be waiting in Dr.Ronin's old Laboratory." Otisu says just before flying away. "Wait!" Debiddo says as he tries to catch up with Otisu, However, Maria appears in front of Debiddo and kicks him in the face. The force of the kick causes him to crash to the ground. Otis smiles as he points a stone in the air which emits light. "I think it's time for our family to wrap this up," Otisu says as the light becomes visible on every mobbure clan member's body.
The damage from the kick from Maria to Debiddo instantly starts healing because of his demonic energy. Debiddo notices this and is surprised. "If you die, then I die. I don't need you getting taken out before you complete our deal. Dark Debiddo says from inside Debiddo's mind. "I haven't forgotten our deal Demon me, just keep pumping out this energy until I defeat Otisu," Debiddo says as stares at Maria. "Move aside you two, I don't have any business with you two, I just want Otisu." "How rude! Why uncle Otisu gets to have all the fun? Play with us to De..bi..ddo." Maria says as she runs around Debiddo in circles. She then stops and gets close to his face. "He said we can kill you, you know that right? We can do whatever we want to you as long as we want since we can revive you later on!" Maria says as she smiles with a coprophagous grin. "Debiddo..." Kurisuto says as bombs float around him. "Sigh, I don't want to fight you guys!" Debiddo says as he gets in a fighting position. Back at the Mobbure village, The chasers try to fix any wounds dealt with them during the fight with the mobbure clan. Four chasers guard the stone that carries the defeated clan members within it. "This was a very tough fight Rapahel," Mizu says to Raphael as they walk around and sees the causalities that were caused by the battle. "Yes, we need to contact their families and alert them of their passing," Raphael says with sorrow. "We did it, comrades! We shall drink for the deceased and respect their memories!" Brock says as he drinks with a group of the other chasers. "You are really going to celebrate after we just lost so many of our own?" Kori says angrily. "In my village, when one of our own passes, we drink for them all night until next day," Brock says as he drinks some more.
While everyone is cheering and galavanting around. A crack forms in the stone with green light seeping through, which catches the attention of one of the chasers who were guarding it. "Guys, we got a problem!" One of the guards says as multiple chasers prepare for a fight. In the Bujin village, Maruki stands and takes a breath. "Well, I see we are running out of time, so I am going to end this fight quickly. " Maruki says looking at the green light on his hand. He then makes a hand sign and exhales. "What is going on?" Himawari says as she backs away slowly. At the Rajin village, Rafu is also creating the hand sign while an exhausted Bolt and Jinzo look on. "What is he doing, and why is his left hand glowing?" Bolt says to Jinzo. "I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this." Jinzo replies as Rafu's energy starts to increase. At the Mobbure hideout, the mobbure clan breaks through the stone and forms the same hand sign as the green light shines on their hand. "What in the world is going on?" Raphael says as he notices the green light illuminate the sky. "You thought that you got rid of us eh?" Mary says to the chasers. "The green light on our hands signals that the plan is almost complete!" With her saying this, all the mobbure clan members except Debiddo, and Daisuke, yell out the same thing at the same time, "Mobbure Art! Okunote!"
