Alicia: this is getting annoying
Moon: what is?
Alicia: haven't you noticed? Ever sience we all came here for a rest, Ash is constantly staying away from Mechamato and will give him death threats with a cat hiss, but look at what the 3 of them are doing right now

Amato, Ash and Arthur are eating at the same paste, sitting far away from each other

Rose: geuss that is weird, what is it with the both of them and the old dude?
Mika: yeah, ever sience day 1 they just have that angry look whenever that guys name is mentioned, do they know each other?
Alicia: i doubt it, i asked Amato already, he said he never met those 2 despite how he feels that they have a striking resemblence to someone he knows
Moon: ohhh i have a idea, I'll go ask Arthur about this! Hes the nicer twin so I'm sure he'll tell us why
Alicia: hey wiat-
Moon: hey Arthur
Arthur: oh hey Moon, whats up?
Moon: why are you and Ash are so grumpy around Mr. Amato? You ok?
Arthur: uh-.... Ehehehehe don't worry its nothing really, we're uncomfortable bcz-

Arthur suddenly covers his mouth with his hand

Moon: bcz what?
Ash: your not getting anything out of him, the both of us have our hands on promising to never talk about something and whenever we got asked about it and try to say even slight hint of the truth, our hand will slap on our face to shut up, we can try all we want but it won't come off
Moon: wow
Arthur: yeah its amazing how we kept it like that
Alicia: so what the hell are the both of you secretly keeping?
Ash: didnt i just tell you or are deaf?
Amato: but why so grumpy around me of all people?

Ash snaps his fingers and a high flaming wall separates him from Amato

Maskmana: good enough answer for you
Amato: this isnt funny Mask!
Fang: hm? Ash what's up with your arm?
Ash: my arm? The hell is wrong with it?
Fang: theres black marks on them, are they... Growing?
Ash: ha? The hell did you just say?

Ash pull down his arm glove and look too see his arm having black corruption growing on them and spat his food out

Ash: holy s-
Arthur: hahahaha excuse us

Arthur push Ash to somewhere private

Arthur: what the hell is that?!
Ash: ugh it means I'm getting stronger! Thnks to that idiot being here and now hes upset! The more upset he is the stronger i am
Arthur: man... Can't you or the elements tell him to calm down?
Ash: you think his corruption can comfort him?
Arthur: yeah i geuss thats a blow
Ash: just gotta avoid being around that old man, that should hold him down
Arthur: i hope so
