Narrator- Elite Soliders- 1 External
Ginto- 4 Externals & 1 Internal
(Middle Underwater Cave, 7: 17 p.m, Day 16- The Day of the 6th External Dragon Part)

Raiden(with a confused face)- What the heck?? How did I arrive here?? Its 7:17 right now!! Did the time rewind?? No, if that were the case, then the stones I summoned earlier wouldn't still be in the air!! Then what exactly happened?? (in his mind)

Ayumi(while standing up)- ......

Raiden(while remembering what tegan once said)- "Always try taking the first step whenever you think the enemy is in control of you. Because the moment you become hesitant you will be in the enemy's trap."

(with a smirk smile)- Sir tegan, I will always be grateful to you. GRAVITY CHAIN- SWING!!

Narrator- Raiden takes out this chain and swings it as hard as he can towards Ayumi.

Ayumi(to raiden)- DECELERATION!!

Narrator- Time decelerated for Raiden and his chain. The speed went down to 0.25 meter per second.

Raiden(with a shocked face)- W.............h...........a...........t??

Narrator- Ayumi had all the time in the world. She slowly jumped over the chain like a rope and then walked towards Raiden.

Raiden(while looking at ayumi)- ...........

Narrator- Ayumi then gently takes the chain from Raiden's hand and swings it herself to shatter Raiden's rib cage and send him flying 3 meters away.

Then again, time went back to normal for Raiden.

Raiden(in his mind)- You cannot be serious, the time just decelerated!! (looks at his watch) 7:18 p.m!! So, the time is only decelerating for me!! And why does it feel like something is coated in my entire body?? And its not my shakti, its hers!! I hate to admit it, but I am stuck in a very big mess right now!!

Narrator- Ayumi intimates Raiden by showing his chain and then throwing it away far from his reach.

Raiden(while grinding his teeth)- Gravity can't be controlled by time!! GRAVITY SPIRAL!!

Narrator- Gravity Spiral is an attack in which Raiden creates a spiral that has the power to attract anything it wants towards it. Which in this case was Ayumi.

Ayumi(while getting attracted towards the spiral)- SKIP!!

Narrator- The time skipped for Raiden for 10 seconds.

Ayumi directly appeared at the end of the spiral, skipping the entire way through it.

Raiden(while rubbing his eyes)- What just happened??

Ayumi(to raiden)- DECELERATION!!

Narrator- Ayumi once again decelerated time for Raiden. And after that, she performed a tornado kick on him, thus pinning him to the ground.

Then again, time went back to normal for Raiden. Ayumi then sits on top of Raiden.

Suddenly, all the stones that were in the air started advancing towards Ayumi's head.

Even though they were approaching from behind her head, Ayumi still knew about it. She just moved her neck to the left to avoid it.

Ayumi(to raiden)- I can still see the future.

Raiden(to ayumi)- GRAVITY DOMAIN!!

Ayumi(to raiden)- DECELERATION!!

Narrator- Raiden tries a surprise attack on Ayumi. He creates a gravity ball the same size as his hand and then attempts to hit her with it.

Before Raiden could be successful in doing that, Ayumi again decelerated the time for him.

Ayumi(while placing the gravity domain on his chest)- This should be here.

Raiden(with a desperate face)- N...........o!! D...........a..........m.........n i...........t!!

Narrator- Ayumi stood up from his chest and maintained a distance from him.

Ayumi(to raiden)- PLAY!!

Narrator- With that, the time went back to normal for Raiden. The moment it did, the Gravity Domain caused a ripple at Raiden's chest.

Raiden was totally down and out, Ayumi picks him up from the ground, gives him the support he needs to stand up and then starts checking his pocket for the 'Aquamarine'.

Ayumi(while checking his pockets)- Where is the dragon part??

Narrator- The moment Raiden heard the words 'Dragon Part', he in a way, woke up from his slumber and tightly grabbed Ayumi's right hand.

Raiden(with a furious face)- I can't give you that!!

Narrator- Raiden's sudden change of behaviour startled Ayumi. She pulled back her hand and moved a few meters back.

Raiden(to ayumi)- Now, I can finally use this attack!! GRAVITY EXERTION!!

Narrator- Raiden increased the gravitational force for the entire cave to pin Ayumi to the ground.

Raiden(while looking at his watch)- 7:20:34 p.m!! All these new time abilities you have been using, its because of that 'Click', isn't it?? The difference in time between the two clicks was about 5 minutes or so. So, if my theory is correct then you only use these new time abilities for that particular time length only!! And now only less than two minutes are left for that!! But that's just a theory. One thing I am still sure off is that you can't use your 'Time Stopping' power in between this!! Because if you could have, then you would have made light work of me by now!!

Ayumi(while being pinned down)- You traitor!!

Narrator- Ayumi was trying everything to overcome the gravity and stand up, but unfortunately for her it was too much to handle, especially without the use of any shakti.

Raiden slowly approaches her, as a daunting image.

Ayumi(while trying to overcome gravity)- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Raiden(to ayumi)- I have to give it to you. Among our generation of elite soldiers you might be one of the best in physical strength. Hmph, but that unfortunately that won't be enough.

Ayumi(to raiden)- REVERSE!!

¤ Raiden using the 'Gravity Exertion'

Narrator- As Raiden was just a few steps away from approaching Ayumi, she used her 'Reverse' ability to send Raiden back to the position where he activated the gravity exertion.

Raiden(with an annoyed face)- No problem. Ha-ha-ha!! I will walk as many times as it may need to destroy your spirit for good!! (once again starts walking towards her)

Ayumi(to raiden)- TIME FLASH- CHAIN RESTORE!!

Narrator- Ayumi restores whatever chain was left and throws it at Raiden.

Due to constantly exerting gravity, Ayumi had now gotten weaker. The speed at which the chain was thrown was slow, so Raiden caught it easily.

Ayumi(with a disappointed look)- Darn it!!

Raiden(with a smirk smile)- Thanks for giving it back. GRAVITY CHAIN!!

Narrator- Raiden infuses the chain with gravity thus in process freeing it from the effect of 'Time Flash'.

Raiden upon reaching Ayumi, looked down on her as she waa still trying her hardest to stand up.

Raiden(to ayumi)- Give up!! Its for the best!! GRAVITY CHAIN- SWING!!

Narrator- Raiden then mercilessly swung his chain at her back.

Raiden(in his mind)- I can feel it, I am not coated anymore!! The click effect has gone!! Now that I think about it, it was the first time I landed a blow on her since the second click. Guess, hitting her is the key to breaking out of it.

Narrator- Raiden then kept on swinging the chain until she became unconscious.

After that, he quietly left the cave without letting any notice him.

Narrator- After about half an hour, Livon enters the middle underwater cave and sees Ayumi lying on the ground.

Livon(to ayumi)- What happened?? Who did this to you??

Ayumi(to livon)- R...a...i..d...e..n

Livon(with a stunned face)- ..........

Narrator- Elite Soldiers- 1 External
Ginto & Raiden- 5 Externals & 1 Internal
(Knights Inn Lobby, 12:00 p.m, Day 17- The Day of the 2nd Internal Dragon Part)

Every Elite Soldier besides Raiden, Ayumi and Noren were present.

Tegan(with a dejected look)- Raiden is a betrayer??

Livon(with a frustrated face)- I refuse to believe that!! It can't be possible!!

Mizumi(to livon)- But this is the truth. Ayumi said it herself. And she can't be lying with her current state!! If raiden is innocent then why isn't he here right now??

Hinaka(with a dejected look)- I don't want to say this, but uncle could also be a ........

Livon(to hinaka)- Don't say anything!!

(Ayumi enters the scene)

Ayumi(while slowly walking down the stairs)- It may be harsh, but this is the reality livon and you very well know that!!

Itsumi(while helping ayumi)- Is it okay for you to walk??

Ayumi(to itsumi)- Yea, I am fine. Thank you.

(to livon)- You also know that raiden has been acting quite suspiciously these past few days. He may have have looked alright but he was clearly hiding something. Am I saying something wrong..... hinaka?? I know you were also trying to figure that out. I saw you spying the other day.

Hinaka(to ayumi)- So, you knew.

Livon(with a dejected look)- .........

Eldon- Whatever may be, for now, we have to consider him our enemy. That should only be the logical way to proceed.

Tegan(to eldon)- I agree.

Eldon(to everyone)- If we are all gathered right now, we may also discuss about the 2nd internal part. 

Mizumi- We are so behind with the dragon parts, that it has literally become shameful now!!

Eldon(to everyone)- With only one dragon part at our disposal, it was quite a tough job to think about the possible locations because there were so many of them. But I have managed to narrow it down to 10. Ayumi, are you in for today?

Ayumi(to eldon)- No. My body isn't ready yet.

Eldon- Okay then, rest of us have to manage. 6 people for 10 locations, now its really upto luck.

Itsumi(to eldon)- 5 people. Noren isn't here.

Mizumi(with a surprised face)- But why?? He wasn't here for the previous part either. Where is he??

Mizumi(with a dejected look)- I don't know.

Eldon- Well, whenever we need noren he isn't to be found. How disappointing, but it can't be helped, I guess. The location are supermarket, bank, dragon land park, the small mountains near the diamond beach, clothing factory, cafe, stadium, market place, river bank, nine foot hotel.

Tegan- I will take the nine foot hotel.

Eldon(to tegan)- Okay.

Tegan(with a relieved face)- Oh!! Finally I am saved from the water curse!! (in his mind)

Livon- Stadium

Itsumi(with a dejected look)- Clothing factory.

Hinaka- Mountains

Mizumi- Supermarket

Eldon- Mine will be the dragon land park.

Tegan(to everyone)- All the best everyone!! Be careful!!

Eldon(to everyone)- Just a second, in my opinion, the internal parts will always have the same design, that is of an 'Orange Pearl', so do look for it.

Mizumi(to eldon)- What made you think that??

Eldon- A random guess, but if externals are always of different designs then internals will be opposite of it, means with same ones. In the 'D&D Book' something relating to similarities is mentioned while concerning to internal parts.

Mizumi- Well, guess we have to wait and see if that's true or not.

(Hour of the Finding, 7:20 p.m, Mountains near the Diamond Beach)

Hinaka(while flying)- Hmm, ohh?? There it is!! Eldon was indeed correct. It is an 'Orange Pearl'.

Narrator- Hinaka was monitoring the area when he finally found the 'Orange Pearl' stuck between two small rocks.

Upon landing, Hinaka extended his right arm to take the pearl out of the rocks; this is when he saw another man's left hand being extended too.

Hinaka(with a stunned face)- You??

Ginto(with a smirk smile)- We meet again, hiyuki's baby brother. (then detaches his bone wings)

Hinaka(with an angry face)- Don't ever call me his brother!!

Ginto(to hinaka)- Oh, why not?? Hiyuki really loves you. He often talks about you. He says that you are the son, which he could never possibly be. He considers you the greatest son a mother could ever have!!

Hinaka(with an angry face)- Just shutt upp!! Don't tell me what he says!! He died for me a long time ago!!

Ginto(to hinaka)- I see. Then lets begin what we should have started from the get go!!

Hinaka(while taking his fighting stance)- Tell me, is raiden with you??

Ginto(with a smirk smile)- Yes, he is.

Hinaka(to ginto)- I see.

Narrator- As Hinaka and Ginto were about to begin there battle, someone else also joined in.

Noren- Is there an extra seat available for another person over here??

Hinaka(with a surprised face)- Noren?? How did you came here?? You weren't in the meeting today either??

Noren(while looking at ginto)- I followed somebody.

Ginto(with a surprised face)- Mee??

Noren(with a smirk smile)- Yeah!! How does it feel like to be followed by someone??

Hinaka(to noren)- Great!! Now we both can fight him together.

Narrator- Hinaka and Ginto were standing in front of each other. Noren rather than going Hinaka's way, stood in the middle.

Noren(while taking his fighting stance)- Sorry, but that can't happen. I am on my own.
