### Chapter 1: Curse

Long ago, there was a couple who dreamt of creating an elixir of immortality. They met Akhazane in the mountains. They refused his offer of friendship, but they changed minds when they saw his companions, which were creatures never seen by them. They joined him because it would catapult their resaerch.

Not long after, Akhator waged war against the Earthling's. Akhazane's companions were shocked he was Akhator's aid. He promised them he would entreat with Akhator to stop the war, but the couple didn't believe him and left. Later, they saw Akhator's wound heal in an instant. They thought by studying his blood, they would gain immortality. They hid and waited for their chance.

Akhazane confronted Akhator, and died as a result but not before injuring his brother, enabling him to be defeated. Akhazane's remains were then burnt save his hand holding the Star Seed. The couple found drops of Akhazane's blood and studied it. They created an elixir, but didn't know it would work. The husband drank it and vomited blood. His wife's skills were able to save his life. After that, he only felt depressed.

Time flew by, and the couple had twins, who shared their father's fate. The older twin expressed joy while the younger twin expressed rage. This curse, known as the Sky Demon's Curse, was passed down from generation to generation until today.

The forces of justice have found the Ferocious Four hiding in the North Sentinel Island. Its inhabitants are hostile to outsiders. India, who has failed to establish contact with them, has prohibited anyone from entering the area. The plan is to go straight into the island, the Ferocious Four might escape if they negotiate with India. "Gunchuck" Kelly, Global Alliance for Humanity Major, puts Jones in charge.

Alex and Lulu are discovered in a vent. Alex wants to confront the Four not only because they hurt the fairies, but they are somehow connected to the IBYon. Jones doens't mind if he tags along, but if he goes berserk again, he'll be put under his parents' care.

### Chapter 2: Underwater Search

The team consists of Jones, Axe, Jackal, Ling, Yayoi, Kelly, Alex and Lulu. They move out. They find three shaped entrances: a plus shape, star with eight points and a badge-looking shape. The answer is the badge because the other shapes are horizontally and vertically symmetrical unlike the badge.

Through the entrance, stingrays reveal themselves. Kelly shoots all of them. They later find the Four's submarine, then they get their weapons ready. The Void watches them through a camera inserted on a lizard.

### Chapter 3: Drowsy Haze

Everyone, except Axe, will face the Ferocious Four. Axe will observe and relay information. Axe climbs up a mountain and starts observing. The Sentinelese are at the team's 2 o' clock. The Void, seeing them through a lizard's camera, activates its little bombs, alerting the Sentinelese. The team hides in a tree. A beetle explodes, alerting the Sentinelese to attack the team in the tree. Jones ties them up, but more are coming. Jackal carries Yayoi up, and she releases sleeping gas while the team wears gas masks. The Void approaches them with Little Whitey. He holds the Sentinelese hostage with his bees.

### Chapter 4: Into the Lair

Ling hits her bell, releasing a sound insects can't tolerate. Axe shoots an arrow to Little Whitey's goat head. The Void leaves, chased by Alex, Lulu and Jones. Woe handles Jones and Glee handles Lulu. Alex continues chasing the Void. Fury flies towards Axe, but is confronted by Jackal. Alex follows the Void into a cave with giant monstrous flowers. After killing them, he enters a room filled with experimented mythical creatures. Alex is filled with rage, activating Akhazane's cells. The Void awakens a child of Oude Boom of his.

### Chapter 5: Battle

Axe destroys Fury's jet pack. Jackal throws his jet pack at Fury and detonates it. As Glee was about to hit Lulu, Kelly helps her. Jones wont let Woe lay a hit on the Sentinelese. He ties Woe's face with a rope. Woe breaks it and the bombs within explode, but his mask is bombproof. Ling disorients Woe's hearing, making him unstable. The Void rises with his Oude Boom child and harpies.

### Chapter 6: Full Control

Alex enters a room with more carnivorous plants. He kills them. After seeing a puzzle, he calms down, but still has the IBYon power. He solves the puzzle instead of breaking the exit. The Void sends his harpies to Fury, Glee and Woe. Fury and Glee are taken to the Northeast. Hank chases them. Alex is only able to make a dent on the modified Oude Boom child. Lulu helps him.

### Chapter 7: Duel

Alex uses Lulu's sword to cut his hand so that Lulu can deal damage with the blood. The child's internal tentacles are easily cut by the blood. Alex realises its skin can withstand attacks, but the internal organs can't. Alex and Lulu destroy the child from the inside. The Void injects himself with Alex's blood, turning his skin IBYon. He and Alex dash towards each other, causing a big explosion. The red demon from Giant Clam Island witnesses.

### Chapter 8: Cleansed

Alex feels a resonance with the Void. Alex extracts out black energy belonging to Akhazane from him. The Void laughs, then falls unconcious. Woe says his family has endured this curse for thousand years. Ming shoots Fury and Glee's harpies. Later, Hank finds the harpies. Alex extracts Woe's curse, making him express more emotions. Woe promises to Alex that he will tell everything he knows and never harm magical creatures again.
