You might be wondering why our heroes would go to the beach.

Sometimes a few criminals or culprits sometimes hideout in tropical beaches. As to why criminals would do this though, it's likely unknown. Probably criminals don't get that much vacation as we do. They'd prefer to stay hidden in some of those places, yet it's very unusual to find a criminal relaxing at a time like this.

How odd, yet pretty mysterious too.

Well, they're at it again, finding the culprit in the beach.

**At Valerian Beach**

Orion: It is peculiar that'd we find the culprit in the beach.

Maverick: Maybe they would hide somewhere here to avoid suspicion, or maybe they're hiding some sort of relic from us?

Orion: That might be true, but they could be hiding anywhere else you know.

Maverick: Well you were the one suggesting that we look here.

Maverick: Wait... I see something glowing in that cave there.

Orion: It must be a relic...!

???: Indeed it's a relic.

Maverick: Someone's here. Stand guard.

**Boss 2 Appears**

???: Who are you? Are you here to steal or something?

Orion: I don't intend to.

Orion: Believe me, my brother is the one who likes shiny or glowing stuff.

Maverick: Are you sure? Maybe that relic is valuable and you might be selling it for money to pay the bills stuck on your body.

Orion: I already had a lot of bills to begin with, so even if I sell whatever it is inside that cave, I would still be in debt then.

Maverick: Oh yeah? Well...

???: Silence!!!

Maverick: ...

Orion: ...

???: Just let me introduce myself.

???: I am Neron, an animated Jizo statue.

Stone Haniwa Lost In The Earth
Neron

Neron: I was wondering why you would try to steal this beloved relic, but I'm afraid I know your reason why..

Maverick: Shoot Orion, he was the one who pinned the blame first.

Neron: There is no reason to fight each other, even if you guys are complete opposites.

Orion: Even if we are complete opposites, we're related, ironically, because we are brothers.

Maverick: Well, at least siblings help each other that's for sure.

Orion: We're gonna pass you and say that we're not gonna mind about stealing the relic.

Neron: Hold it, even if I were to pass you by, I still suspect you for stealing the treasure.

Neron: I'm afraid I can't let you so-called brothers pass by here.

Orion: Shoot. I think he's still scapegoating us.

Maverick: Guess we have to fight back. Get ready.

Neron: Prepare to battle for the sake of the relic!!

**BATTLE ENGAGED**

Neron spawns little stones thrown in the air, about to land at or near the Antinomy team while moving around.

The Antinomy team successfully dodged the non-spell with a little graze.

-----

First Spell Card: Declivity "Landslide"

Neron spawns boulders rolling towards the Antinomy team, coming in different sizes, while shooting bullets that spread and cross.

The Antinomy team had a hard time dodging the bullets, but captured it without the use of bombs or flash bombs.

-----

Neron shoots boulders of different sizes and speeds while moving around.

The Antinomy team had many close calls from the non-spell. However, they survived with a lot of graze.

-----

Second Spell Card: Seismic Earthquake "Diverging Plates"

Neron moved either left or right, creating a vertical laser in the middle, causing the ground to split apart. Whichever side Neron was on, he shot boulders at that side. After a while, the ground reattached, forcing Neron to shoot bullets that spread and cross, then repeats the whole thing.

Maverick got hit, forcing Orion to use his bomb.

Orion's Bomb: Depression "Down Poor"

Orion creates debt bills from the sky that fall to the ground, creating a dark aura that damages Neron as they fall.

Orion's bomb stopped the spell card.

-----

Neron then goes towards the Antinomy team, spawning boulders of different sizes upon impact, then repeats.

The Antinomy team had to keep moving, taking a long time to stop the non-spell.

After about a couple of minutes, the Antinomy team stopped the non-spell.

-----

Third Spell Card: "Shaking Chaos"

Neron goes to the middle, continuously going left and right, impacting at the walls or edges while spawning boulders of different sizes, hurdling towards the Antinomy team.

Maverick had used his flash bomb during the spell card.

Maverick's Flash Bomb: Shiny Skin "Golden Scales"

Maverick creates a brief forcefield around himself that clears any bullets on the area of the field.

After a while, the Antinomy team captured the spell card and defeated Neron.

**Neron Defeated**

Neron💦: Ugh... What power...

Maverick: Turns out we are powerful siblings.

Orion: Are we really?

Neron💦: Who knows? Maybe you're so powerful that maybe you deserve this relic I've been hiding.

Orion: I'm curious, what was that artifact you are hiding?

Neron💦: A flower.

Maverick: .....

Orion: .....

Neron💦: .....

Neron💦: Break the silence you two!

Maverick: Sorry.

Orion: It's just that all this time, you've been fighting all because of a flower.

Neron💦: It's no ordinary flower, really...

Maverick: Oh yeah? What does it do, besides glow?

Neron💦: The flower gives you extra attack power. It's useful to say the least.

Orion: Aren't we powerful enough? Even with one flower, I don't think it will make a big change.

Neron💦: Well, of you say so. Maybe you'll continue your expedition.

Maverick: Ok then. Orion, we're off to Eternity Meadows.

Orion: Alright, as long as I don't get lost in there.
