It was morning and the scene changed to Wangzhou who was sitting on his throne in the Emperor's Room.

Wangzhou: Jaakuna Hi, where is Kurai Kage? He said that he'll be back very fast, he usually doesn't take this long.
Jaakuna: I don't know sir, but I would bet that the heroes would have the relic and on his own he might've been taken out. I suggest we send a search party to find him.
Wangzhou: Alright fine, but I know who to call.

He then got up and went to the balcony and looked up in the sky.

Wangzhou: Raijin, God of the House of Thunders. As Emperor of the Eastern Regions I command you to be in front of me now!

Then suddenly lightning flashed and this creature appeared.

Raijin: Who dares summon the all mighty Raijin?!
Wangzhou: I did, Yaoguai Wangzhou. Emperor of the Eastern Regions.
Raijin: Never heard of you.
Wangzhou: Enough games, you will serve me only.

Raijin seemed annoying.

Raijin: What do you want?
Wangzhou: I want you to go and find me my general, Kurai Kage. He's been missing for hours.
Raijin: Ugh, go find him yourself old man, I ain't your search party.

Wangzhou was angered.

Wangzhou: How dare you call your Emperor "old man" you insolent wretch! I command you to find me Kurai Kage now!

Raijin rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Raijin: Fine, I'll find this Kurai Kage for you but stop pestering me after this.

He then left.

Jaakuna: Sir, are you sure sending Raijin was a good idea? You know how he acts.
Wangzhou: He acts like a punk, but don't worry I'll shape him up to become the Emperor's greatest warrior.

The scene changed to Kurai Kage who was still asleep on the ground, he snored so loud that it would scare off anyone.

???: What the hell is that noise?! Where's it coming from?
???2: I don't know but it's near.

Then suddenly Gartox and Mouseron found Kurai who was asleep.

Gartox: Hey isn't that the guy from the Eastern Regions that lead the Terracotta army to attack the castle?
Mouseron: It's him alright, what's he doing here?
Gartox: I don't know but we should ask him.

He then grabbed Kurai by the shoulders and began shaking the ninja.

Gartox: WAKE UP!!!

Kurai opened his eyes and gasped.

Kurai: What the-

He saw Gartox and Mouseron.

Kurai: Who are you?
Gartox: The name's Gartox and the rat behind me is Mouseron.
Mouseron: I'm actually a mouse.
Kurai: Oh I know you 2, we fought on the same side back at the castle, you're the Lord's servants am I right?
Gartox: And you're Wangzhou's lapdog.

He then put Kurai down.

Gartox: So what are you doing here in the middle of the woods all by yourself bud?
Kurai: Well I was searching for the-

He then shut his mouth immediatly.

Gartox: Searching for what?
Kurai: Umm nothing... Hehe...

Mouseron sniffed him.

Mouseron: He's lying, I can smell him.
Gartox: Come on, spill the beans!
Kurai: Alright, I'm searching for the Lord's last relic so that I... Uhh..

Gartox crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

Kurai: So that I could give it to him... Hehe...

Gartox and Mouseron looked at each other.

Gartox: That's what want as well, to find the relic and since we're all Corrupted we should all work together.
Mouseron: Are you sure? He seems untrustworthy.
Gartox: And you're a rat so look who's talking bud.

Kurai smirked.

Kurai's mind: LOL, these morons are so dumb. I could use them to my advantage to get the relic for the Emperor.

Kurai fake coughed.

Kurai: I saw Kaori and Jozef, who were a part of the castle's defenders as they had the relic last night.
Mouseron: Hold on what?
Kurai: Yeah I fought them but that Jozef put me to sleep with chlorofoam and they left.
Gartox: If what you're saying is true then we gotta find them now!

He then grabbed Kurai by the arm and pulled him.

Gartox: Let's go!

Mouseron sighed as he then ran after them.

The scene changed to Jozef and Kaori as they were still searching for a spot to hide the relic.

Jozef: I think I know of a place where we can hide it.
Kaori: Where?
Wings: Master Lindworm explained us once that there's a swamp on his home planet and if we go there then we can hide it.
Jozef: And plus of the smell of decay I doubt that a Corrupted monster would find it.
Kaori: But there's one problem.

Jozef turned to Kaori.

Jozef: What's the problem?
Kaori: There's someone in the swamp who's very hard to deal with and her name is Wickah.
Jozef: Wickah?
Kaori: From what I heard she's the protector of that place.
Wings: Then we have to make sure we strike a correct deal with her.

Jozef then commanded his wings to fly and Kaori jumped on a tree branch and landed behind his back.

Kaori: You thought I was letting you go alone while in the air.
Jozef: I expected you to jump so that's why I did that, now let us go.

The scene changed to Max and the others who left the castle after the rest they got from there in order to search for Jozef and Kaori who have gone missing.

Mani: It's been a few hours and the 2 straight up disappeared, I begin to worry for them guys.
Brock: Same dude, what if the Lord got them.
Max: Brock that's not helping.
Lindworm: We all know that they are capable of defending themselves.

Mortis was stern to which it was noticed by Ferrata.

Ferrata: Hey, you ok?
Mortis: Yeah, I just hope Kaori and Jozef are ok.
Ferrata: And why should you worry so much?

Mortis then pointed to a worried Mani Pulate who was walking beside Surge.

Mortis: Because one of them happens to be his girlfriend and the other one happens to be his best friend, I can't imagine how traumatized he will be if something happens to them.
Ferrata: Wow you sure care a lot for Mani.
Mortis: I do, he was once depressed and anxious to battle because of a former enemy of ours and I helped him get through it. If anything bad happens to him I'll snap the one who caused it his or hers' neck.

Ferrata was surprised of this side of Mortis.

Ferrata: You're so selfless, I admire you for it.

She blushed after saying that to the vampire.

Mortis: Thanks.

Then suddenly Raijin was in the air while riding his storm cloud, he was still searching for Kurai Kage.

Raijin: Where is that piece of shit, I can't wait to go back to my bubble bath right after I find that old man's little runt of a general.

He then noticed Max and the others who were below them, he then flew down.

His cloud poofed and he landed on the ground and the heroes noticed him.

Surge: Wow who's that?
Crow: Brian Johnson from AC/DC but he got electrocuted and turned into this.
Raijin: Have any of you seen a guy named Kurai Kage?
Lady Meow: Who?

Raijin face palmed and pointed at Crow.

Raijin: A creature as tall as the bird, has black skin and wears a red kabuku mask.
Crow: You comparing me to that shithead?

Kat-Herine touched Crow's shoulder.

Kat-Herine: Calm yourself Crow.

Raijin was annoyed.

Raijin: I didn't come here looking for trouble, just tell me where he is and I'll be on my way.
Max: I know him, but can you tell us why do you want him.
Raijin: He went missing last night so that old man Yaoguai Wangzhou told me to find him for him.
Max: Wait you work for Wangzhou?!
Raijin: Why would I work for him? I'm a God and I don't follow orders from him.

Brock then turned to the others.

Brock: I don't think Kage went missing, I bet he was hunting for the relic.
Lady Meow: That makes a lot more sense, we have to find Kaori and Jozef before he does.

Meow turned to Raijin.

Lady Meow: I think he might've been in the Cardinal Forest?
Raijin: That disgusting place, yuck I'm not travelling there.
Max: We'll go and find him together.

Raijin rolled his eyes.

Raijin: Fine...

He then summoned his cloud and he expanded it so it could be larger.

Raijin: Hop in mortals, I don't have all day.
Brock: He reminds me of Edgar with that attitude.
Lindworm: We do not have time for jokes, let us find Kurai Kage before gets the relic.
Mani: Yes master.

They all hopped on the cloud and Raijin flew off.

The scene changed to Kaori and Jozef who were flying in the air, but suddenly a purple beam was fired but it missed Jozef.

Instead it caused him to lose balance and they botu fell inside a bush.

Wings: Oww...
Kaori: Shush, someone's coming.

Both were silent as footsteps were heard.

Neurofunk and Rudechaw were walking.

Neurofunk: I thought I hit that winged doctor, where could he have landed?
Rudechaw: I don't know, ever since Gartox told us to look out for a samurai girl and a winged doctor we're in no luck.

Then Dark-Er and Fayemalice approached them.

Dark-Er: Any luck you 2?
Rudechaw: Nah ah.
Fayemalice: Drats, the Lord could be angered by our lack of success.
Neurofunk: So far we have no clue as of where the relic is which means our chances of finding it are 0.000007%.

Dark-Er was annoyed.

Dark-Er: Will you stop it with those calculations? They're annoying as fuck!

Jozef looked at Kaori.

Jozef: *Mumbles* And they're suppose to be on the same team.

Kaori was about to cackle but held her laughter.

Wings: *Mumbles* Come on let's go.

Then they sneakily escaped the bush but they muffled some sounds

Fayemalice: Hold on, what's that?

Kaori and Jozef thought that they were about be caught.

Then the silence was interrupted by Gartox, Mouseron and Kurai arrived.

Kurai: How's the search?
Fayemalice: No luck, ever since you came in we've been scrambled.
Kurai: Don't blame me it's not my fault the relic went missing or something.
Gartox: Will y'all simmer down?! I'm trying to concetrate.
Rudechaw: *Mumbles* Says the guy who's all muscle and the least amount of brains of the Lord's armada.

Gartox heard what Rudechaw said.

Gartox: What did you say you little shit?!

He was about to smack Rudechaw but was held back by Mouseron and Dark-Er.

Kaori and Jozef took the distraction as a way to escape and they succeeded.

Kurai's mind: These guys are so disfunctional...

Then suddenly from above, Raijin and the others arrived.

Crow: Look I see Kage below there.
Raijin: Finally.

He then lowered the cloud and the others hopped out.

Raijin: There you are runt.

The Corrupted monsters turned to see the others.

Kurai: Raijin?
Max: Where's the relic? Did you guys take it?
Rudechaw: Why would you care about it? After all we're still searching for it.

Gartox smacked Rudechaw's head.

Gartox: Yeah so we're searching for it, what's the problem about that?
Crow: Shut your trap, it's bad enough we had to deal with this walking cloud guy that has a terrible hairdoo and now we gotta deal with you.

Raijin took that personally.

Raijin: How dare you insult my hair you low life, you'll be punished.
Dark-Er: We better get out of here before-

Raijin floated up in the air as his eyes glowed yellow, he then casted lightning on all sides and tried to hit the others.

The Corrupted monster minus Kurai Kage ran for their lives.

The heroes tried to avoid the lightning    as they hid behind trees.

Bea: Nice one Crow!
Crow: What his hair makes him look like he's from a soap opera commercial.

Raijin was angered as he started a tantrum.

He was firing lightning on all sides.

Kurai: Wooo! Go Raijin! Smack these Pure morons until-

Suddenly a lightning bolt hit the ninja as he fell down and was on the ground unconscious.

Max: We gotta find a way to apologize to him.
Mortis: Crow should do it, since he's the one that started this all.
Ferrata: I agree with every word Mortis said.

Crow then turned to look at Raijin.

Crow: Hey crybaby.

Raijin looked at Crow who flashed him a middle finger.

Raijin then flew after Crow who then ran away.

Crow: Crap, why did I just do that?
Kat-Herine: Crow, find a way to apologize to him.

Surge, Brock, Max, Bea and Mani fired their projectiles at Raijin but it did no damage to the God of Thunder.

Mani: Why aren't out attacks hitting him.
Lindworm: He is immortal just like me. He becomes more agressive if someone provokes him.

Raijin turned around and zapped the 5 with lightning bolts and they were sent flying.

Meow ran to them.

Lady Meow: You okay?
Brock: Yeah, this always happens to us.

Kat-Herine flew up to Crow who was still running for his life.

Kat-Herine: You have to apologize to Raijin if you want to-
Crow: Look you don't have to pester me like a fly about it.
Kat-Herine: Call me a fly one more time and I'll turn you into a baby.
Crow: Fine, just find a way to stop him.

Kat-Herine turned around and casted a spell at Raijin.

It created a white forcefield around him.

Raijin: Let me out!

He then began breaking the forcefield.

Kat-Herine: Now apologize to him Crow, the forcefield can't hold him forever.

Raijin kept breaking the forcefield as it began slowly cracking.

Crow was tempting about apologizing to Raijin.

He looked at Kat-Herine and then at his friends, he was afraid if they got hurt so he had to do it.

Crow: Yo Raijin.

Raijin looked at Crow.

Raijin: Throw me an insult and I'll skin you alive, I dare you!
Crow: I wanna say that...

Raijin kept breaking the forcefield.

Crow then sighed.

Crow: I'm sorry...

Raijin broke it and then flew to Crow who was afraid at this point.

Raijin:... I will forgive you for now...
Crow: Phew...
Raijin: But this fiasco made me dislike all of you.

He then turned to the others.

Raijin: If you dare make fun of me again then we're gonna have a problem.

He then flew up to Kurai Kage and picked him up and they left.

The others were relieved that the problem was over.

Kat-Herine then uninstictively hugged Crow and he then looked at her.

Kat-Herine: I'm proud of you, you're growing fast.
Crow: I uhhh... I'm not a kid!

The cat pulled away and then punched Crow's arm.

Crow: What did you do that for?
Kat-Herine: That was for calling me a fly.
Crow: Sorry about it.

The others got up.

Lindworm: I'm glad everyone is alright but we still have to find Kaori and Jozef.
Max: The Corrupted don't have the relic for now but we still have to keep looking for them. They don't seem to be off the hook for now.
Lady Meow: Right then let's continue our search.

OK guys, this was chapter 10.

Peace out!
