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**

Jet: Are you sure you know what you're doing? Looks like we're finding the culprit in a place where culprits don't generally hideout.

Glaive: You can't be too sure of things, y'know. They can still be hiding here.

Jet: Ah, right. Sometimes the suspicious can hide in somewhere that's public, I guess.

Glaive: I'd rather go for a smoothie once we get to the perpetrator. I'm thirsty.

Jet: Really? At a time like this!?

Jet: Two places already looked and you're now thirsty!?

Glaive: The fight from earlier kinda got me dehydrated.. So I just want a bottle of water.

Jet: Are you sure you don't want a smoothie?

Glaive: Just water, I'll have a smoothie once we solved the incident.

???: Where are you two off to, hm?

Jet: Huh? Oh, we're going to find the culprit of these disasters that are happening here.

Glaive: Hey! I see something glowing behind a curtain ahead!

**Boss 2 Appears**

???: Well, I'm afraid I can't let you pass.

Jet: Wait what?

Glaive: Why though..?

???: My name is Neron, an animated Jizo statue. You can't pass cause I'm hiding something behind the curtain.

Stone Haniwa Lost In The Earth
Neron

Glaive: Sooo, whatcha' hiding then?

Neron: I'm afraid that's classified.

Jet: Then, why are you hiding it?

Neron: It's an ancient relic, and I cannot afford for you to have it.

Jet: We're not after your artifact. We're looking for the culprit of creating all of these disasters.

Glaive: Yeah! And whatever you're hiding, it might help us!

Jet: Glaive, don't let them get suspicious.

Neron: How am I supposed to give this artifact to the hands of you?? You obviously want the artifact more!

Glaive: Too late, they're suspicious.

Jet: Looks like we have to clear and correct his mind correctly.

Neron: Oh, I'll clear YOUR mind alright.

Glaive: Eheh... Two against one isn't gonna help ya buddy.

Neron: No difference! I can crush you guys with boulders if you think again!

Jet: This might hurt us a bit..

**BATTLE ENGAGED**

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

The Silver team successfully stopped the non-spell with little to no graze from the shots.

-----

First Spell Card: Declivity "Landslide"

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

The Silver team took a lot of graze from the shots, but survived and captured the spell card.

-----

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

Jet was hit, forcing Glaive to use his bomb

Glaive's Bomb: "Cutting-Edge Ricochet Swords"

Glaive shoots multiple swords in every direction, when upon hitting anything, they bounce and aim at Neron.

Glaive's bomb stopped the non-spell.

-----

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.

Jet used a flash bomb while trying to capture the spell card.

Jet's Flash Bomb: Crosshair "Reverse Path"

Six crosshairs appear in a circle, coming for Jet, clearing some of the shots Neron spawned.

The Silver team captured the spell card anyway.

-----

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

The Silver team sucessfully stopped the non-spell with some graze.

-----

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 Silver team.

It took a while to capture the spell card since he kept moving left and right, but it was successful, defeating Neron.

**Neron Defeated**

Neron💦: I thought I was capable of beating you.. but I guess I'm wrong...

Jet: Yet, it's interesting to find an animated Jizo statue here in the beach.

Glaive: So, what's the artifact you're hiding?

Neron💦: It's supposed to be a flower...

Glaive: A flower? Really???

Glaive: Can we go now? I want to find out the culprit sooner or later.

Neron💦: I'm not finished yet. That flower is supposed to give you some more power for your attacks.

Neron💦: It works when you only touch it. I attacked you cause I thought you want to steal it.

Jet: So that's your reason for attack.

Glaive: Ah, but can we just pass through now?

Neron💦: You may, if you want, you can touch the flower.

Neron💦: But beware, you'll have to go that black forest just around the corner.

Glaive: Black forest?

Jet: He means Eternity Meadows.

Glaive: Let's go to Eternity Meadows then!

Jet: ...Ok then. Let's go.

Neron💦: Aren't you guys gonna touch the flower?
