## Episode 1- The Destined Ones

by SpecialForm12, Dec 20, 2015, 9:46:57 PM
Journals / Personal
Setting: It is 500 B.C. in The Valley of the Kings, Egypt. We see a time-lapse of time washing by the ancient Pyramids. Temples fall, buildings rise, until we find ourselves in the year 2016: our present day.

Announcer: “Civilization. It’s all a part of our man-made history. As civilizations rise, others fall, and over the course of time they slowly fade from history, as well as our minds. With progress comes the dawn of a new age, and with it, a new future.
However… it seems that the past is not so ready to be forgotten…”

[Switch to the Abyss Cave, where the stone statues of The Ancients are beginning to regain their lifeforms.]

Osiris: Aaaah! It’s been forever since I stretched my limbs!
Olmec: Uuuugh…
Icarus: Finally! It’s been like forever! But seriously? What’s it been? Like… 3,000 years, or somethin’? Am I right? I’m right aren’t I…
Tengu: Silence! Icarus! We get enough of your yapping in the underworld.
Osiris: Wait. Here we are… where is Kajura?
Tengu: There he is, over there.
[Camera focuses on a stone statue of a Rainbow Serpent]
Tengu: It seems he hasn’t awoken yet. What a shame…
Osiris: It seems that the same power that was able to revive us, wasn’t strong enough to revive Kajura.
Icarus: Excellent! What fun! I always hated Kajura anyways! He was always such a pain. Always grouchy, keeping to himself, cold, mysterious, isolated…
Tengu: I’ve had enough of you! [Draws his katana and points it at Icarus]
Icarus: Uh oh!
Osiris: Relax, all of you! Look at what became of us when we fought thousands of years ago. Now are we gonna keep fighting, or are we gonna regain our kingdom?
All: Yes Osiris.
Osiris: Now, since Master is still locked up and can’t exactly exact revenge from beyond the dimension, I take it upon myself to subordinate the human race into submission. Olmec!
Olmec: Uuuugh?!
Osiris: Send one of your ReliCreatures to the human world and wreak some havoc. I have an hourglass to find…
Olmec: Hmmm…

[Scene cuts to a village in the middle of a forest ruled over by an enormous tree.]

Announcer: “But far away from the chaos of the modern age, lies a forest village hidden from the world itself. Secluded in a forest as old as time itself, we meet four young heroes who are willing to harness the elements, and inherit their destiny!”

Sinai: Hey! What are you guys doing? Were gonna be late! C’mon!
Tassis: Is she always like this?
Kanro: You don’t know the half of it.
Cala: Hey! Wait for me!
Sinai: Woah! Were here!
[Camera focuses on a massive tree. The trunk of the tree slowly opens to reveal a dark passageway lit by wall torches.]
Sinai: Cool!
Kanro: "Cool", wouldn’t be the word I’d choose.
Tassis: Well what are you waiting for? Let’s get in there!
Kanro: Better late than never, I guess.
Cala: Ugh! And I just caught up to you guys! Wait up!
[The tree trunk closes up, and leaves the four trapped in the dark.]
Cala: It got dark…
Kanro: It sure did Cala, it sure did.
[A wall of fire suddenly lights up the room, and reveals an ancient pedestal embedded with various gems. Above the pedestal lies a small balcony, and Red is looking down at them.]
All: Alaric!
Alaric: Long time no see, guys!
Sinai: Wow, how have you been?
Tassis: Yeah, we haven’t seen you since you left to train ten years ago.
Kanro: I haven’t had a good matchup lately. I hope all that training did you some good.
Alaric: You bet it did, and it’s great to see you guys again. Are you ready?
Cala: I was born ready!
[All laugh.]
Alaric: Then let’s go!
[Alaric takes the four down into a room at the top of the balcony. The scene switches to the modern-day city that is being terrorized by a deadly ReliCreature!]

Announcer: “But what is this?! A dreaded ReliCreature has revived and is destroying the city! But, I thought they were extinct?!”

Cipactli: Alright humans! There’s more of you now! I’ll never go hungry!
[Citizens run and scream as Cipactli begins devouring humans whole. There is suddenly a violent gust of wind that blows directly towards the forest village.]
The Wind: You guys! Something terrible has happened!
Kanro: What is it, Wind?
The Wind: It’s The Ancients… they’ve… revived.
All: WHAT?!
The Wind: Also, there’s more.
Tassis: What more?
The Wind: A ReliCreature is attacking the city. Part crocodile, part frog, all ugly.
Cala: Well, what are we supposed to do?
Alaric: Excellent! This is just the moment I was waiting for!
[Alaric reaches beneath the table and pulls out an old stone box with ancient writing on the top.]
Alaric: These will aid you in your fight.
Cala: Fight?! No one said anything about fighting in our training.
Tassis: Yeah, Alaric. What’s this all about?
Alaric: You guys. You were destined to protect the flow of time!
Sinai: Yeah, I never really understood what that meant…
Alaric: Basically, if we ever want to have a future, then we gotta do whatever it takes to stop those monsters out there!
Kanro: I don’t know what’s going on here, but if it involves showing of my newfound skills then I’m in!
Alaric: These are your MysticLens.
[Alaric opens the box to reveal five red and gold braces with a giant lens embedded into the center.]
Alaric: The braces are force-sensitive. This means you can channel your Shamanic Powers through them, and transform!
Sinai: Transform?! I’m in!
Tassis: Me too!
All: Let’s do it!
Alaric: Mysticjar: your destiny, and your new life, begins now!
All: Let’s go!
[They all start to run, but suddenly stop.]
Cala: Wait, Alaric. Aren’t you coming too?
Alaric: Go on ahead. I’ll catch up with you.

[The scene switches back to the city. Cipactli has nearly destroyed the entire area. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the wind picks up.]

[Out of a giant tornado gust of wind stand our heroes. They stand posing with their MysticLens ready for action!]

Cipactli: Oh, so is this room service, now?
Sinai: We’ll be showing you room service, buddy! Wait… that came out wrong.
Kanro: Doesn’t matter. Let’s just show this lagoon scum what our shaman training can do!
Kanro: Ready?!
All: Ready!
Cipactli: I am more than ready!
[The four insert their respective MystiClaws into the MysticLens by flipping up the lens, and popping it in the center. The MysticLens begins to speak!]
MysticLens: AquaShaman! LandShaman! ForestShaman! WindShaman!
All: Shamanic Transcendance!
[They all punch at the air towards them. The MysticLens releashes a powerful aura of blue, yellow, green, and pink energy that look like each member’s respective animals. The four dash towards their auras, and plunge into them. The aura animal’s head encompasses their heads forming the helmet's. The remaining spirit energy wraps around their body and forms the suit. Their transformation is complete!]
Blue: Let’s show em’ what we’ve got!
All: Yeah!
Cipactli: Nuts. Willwhisps! Get them!
Blue: Let’s charge!

[Blue charges with a gallop. He jumps upon the Willwhisps and horse-kicks them back. He finishes around with a close-handed spin kick. And jumps towards the group of them while a blue horse aura covers his body and crashes into the Willwhisps. They vanish with a spark.]

[Yellow jumps off of the walls while slashing at them continuously. She proceeds to roll and trip the Willwhisps, and after executing several backwards cartwheels, she spreads her hands wide, and makes two giant yellow aura paws. The paws slash at the Willwhisps with her movements, and they are all destroyed.]

[Green comes in, slithering is silently. He attacks from behind, wrapping his body around theirs and flips them backwards. He jumps and rolls forwards, each time swoop-kicking sideways. he gets down in the center, and spins on his back causing his legs to flail in a circular motion forming 2 green aura snakes that clear out the surrounding Willwhisps.]

[Pink is surrounded by Willwhisps. But, by channelling her training, she extends both hands in front of her, which release hundreds of pink aura needles. She jumps, and spins around in the air, and shoots the aura needles, extinguishing any remaining Willwhisps.]

[The four gather in front of Cipactli, trapping him.]

Blue: That’s it Cipactli! It’s all over! You’re the only one left.
Cipactli: After interrupting my meal, THAT’S how you treat me?!
[Cipactli surrounds the Mysticjars with hundreds of mouths. All the mouths dash towards the four, gnashing and crushing them in their teeth.]
All: Aaaaah!
Cipactli: That should go without knowing! Never interrupt a crocodile at dinnertime!
Alaric: Hold it right there!
[All turn to look at the sky. Alaric is standing on the top of a tall building. He is wearing his MysticLens.]
Cipactli: Great! You have a friend.
Alaric: You should know better than to try to eat my friends. Magic doesn’t taste very good anyways.
Cipactli: Whyyy yoooou!
[Alaric inserts his MystiClaw into his MysticLens. He then proceeds to jump off the building!]
All: Noo!
Cipactli: Yess!
Alaric: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: FireShaman!
[Alaric sticks out his arm and a flaming red falcon aura shoots out from his body. The aura spreads it’s wings, and transforms Alaric in the air! The head encompasses his and forms the helmet. The rest of the energy wraps around his body and forms the suit. Alaric lands in the center of the ground, cracking the floor around him, while smoke begins to rise.]
Red: My name is Alaric! Fifteenth descendant from the Ra-line of fire shamans! And I shall be your destruction!
Cipactli: Oooh, I’m sooo scared!
All: You should be!
Red: Prepare yourself!
Cipactli: Yeah, righ…
[Red dashes towards Cipactli leaving a stream of fire behind him. He grabs him and lifts him high up into the sky. Red stops, and his wings fully extend.]
Cipactli: Help! Put me down!
Red: As you wish.
[Red releases Cipactli, and he begins to fall towards the ground.]
Cipactli: Nooot goood!
Red: I’m ending this!
[Red draws his TalonSword and inserts his Fire MystiClaw into it.]
TalonSword: Fire! Ignition! FullFlame!
Red: FlamingFeather!
[Red swoops down at Cipactli with his sword drawn in the air. His red falcon aura envelops his body, and slashes Cipactli in half before he even reaches the ground! Red lands on the floor looking downwards.]
Red: Out like a candle…
[EXPLOSION IN THE SKY!]
All: Alright! Yeah! That was amazing! How did you do that? Can you teach me that too? Hey!
Red: All in good time you guys. Haha!

[Scene switches to the Abyss Cave, where Tengu is being informed about Cipactli’s loss.]

Tengu: I see.
Icarus: Well? Well?! What is it? Did he win? Did he lose? Can I rule the humans now?
Tengu: Cipactli… has lost.
Icarus: WHAAAAT?!
Tengu: It is an unfortunate loss.
Icarus: But who could have done this? Who? Who?!
Tengu: It seems that Shamanic Power isn’t as dead as we thought.
Icarus: Ah! You don’t mean?!
Tengu: Yes. Those cursed shaman had children!
Olmec: Uuuugh…
Tengu: And silence from you! You were the one who chose an unsuitable ReliCreature for this job! Now what am I going to tell Osiris about…
Osiris: About what?
Icarus: Oh! Osiris! Some brightly colored, animal summoning, magic using bozos just totally trashed our ReliCreature!
Tengu: Why you blabbermouth…!
[Tengu draws his sword to slash Icarus. But then Osiris raises his hand.]
Osiris: Stop!
Tengu: But, sir…
Osiris: It is of a minor concern for us.
[Tengu puts his sword back in his sheath, and rapidly approaches Osiris.]
Tengu: But why, sir? The cursed shaman that sealed us have returned. That means the Master…
Osiris: Leave the Master out of this! No matter. Very soon all life upon this wretched Earth will be nothing but dust. That is… thanks to this.
[Osiris holds up an hourglass full of sand in his hand.]

[The scene fades to black.]

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Alaric: It’s time for you to know why we summoned you here.
Cala: We?
…
Osiris: Mehen, go and devour all the children in the city! We will kill the future generation of this civilization!
…
Kanro: It’s way too strong!
Sinai: It’s as if the more we hit it, the stronger it gets!
…
Mehen: Mysticjar. Today you will die!
…
Alaric: Kanro! Sinai! Nooo!

TO BE CONTINUED…

## Episode 2- Spirits Converge

Journals / Personal
Setting: The Abyss Cave, the four generals are disputing their next move on the human world, and how to bring it to its knees the fastest. Tengu and Icarus try to convince Osiris that the Mysticjars are a real threat.

Osiris: My ruling is final!
Tengu: But, sir…
Osiris: I have heard more than enough. Though it be true that you have faced the shaman in the past, there is no way their magic could have outlived ours.
Tengu: Then how do you suppose they won’t defeat our next ReliCreature sent to ruin their pathetic civilization?
Osiris: Because the next ReliCreature… will be one of mine.
Icarus: Aaaaaaw! No! I thought it was to be my turn this time. I got tons of ReliCreatures! Here look, I got…
Osiris: Mehen! Go and devour all the children in the city! We will kill the future generation of this civilization!
Mehen: It shall be done, Lord Pharaoh.

[Scene switches to the Mysticjar’s central tree, in which Alaric has gathered the members of the team together, to tell them why they were summoned.]

Sinai: Did you see that?! That was sooo cool!
Kanro: So this is what our training was for, isn’t it?
Tassis: Yeah! Won’t it be great Kanro? The five of us together, fighting off evil!
Alaric: Not quite.
Cala: What do you mean, Alaric?
Alaric: It’s time for you to know why we summoned you here.
Cala: We?
Alaric: Yes. We. Reveal yourself!
?????: [Voice in their heads] Mysticjars! You are finally here! We have been expecting you.
Sinai: Ugh, who is it? Get out of my head!
Alaric: It seems they aren’t used to the Psychic link yet, Spirit.
?????: Alright then.
[Spirit releases them from the Psychic link.]
Tassis: Who are you?
Spirit: I am the Spirit of this very Forest. I have watched over you for a long time. Watched you grow, train, mature. You chose well, Alaric.
Alaric: Well, these are my friends were talking about. I knew they would be up for the challenge.
Kanro: What challenge? Why are we really here? Who are those monsters we fought?
Alaric: Those monsters are called The Ancients. They are evil spirits that possess the images of past Earth deities in order to control vast amounts of people throughout history.
Tassis: You mean all those gods, Hades, Hathor, Quetzalcoatl…
Alaric: Were all used by the spirits? Yes. Its sad to see such great civilizations grow and crumble because of what they did.
Sinai: So even though we hate to admit it… these guys are already a part of our history, right?
Alaric: That’s right. But they aren’t the only ones.
Cala: What do you mean?
Alaric: Our ancestors. Our past shaman legacy. They have taken on The Ancients before. They sealed them away before! We can do it too.
Kanro: Our… ancestors…
Spirit: Yes. All of your parents, and parents before them come from a long line of Shaman. Their Shamanic Power has been infused into you, and now it must be awakened again.
Alaric: That’s right. This is all part of why you were brought here. And the reason why is…
Wind: You guys! You guys! Something terrible has happened!
Tassis: What is it, Wind?
Wind: Its another ReliCreature! But this one is different. He seems stronger than before…
Sinai: No time to ask questions. We got a job to do. And were the only ones who can do it. Right Alaric?
Alaric: [Nods in approval] Let’s go!
All: Right!
[All except Kanro exit the tree and rush in direction of the commotion.]
Spirit: What is it, Kanro?
Kanro: Spirit, I need to know… What happened to my parents?
Spirit: It’s not a pretty story…
Kanro: I don’t care. I need to know what happened. That night…
Spirit: Very well. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
[Spirit shows Kanro a Psychic vision.]
Kanro: No. No! Nooooo!

[Scene switches to the city, where the Mysticjars encounter Mehen. A fierce creature with the body of a man, but the head of a bloodthirsty lion.]

Mehen: In the name of Osiris, I shall consume this civilization’s future generation!
[Mehen summons a symbol in the sky and all the children are sucked towards it. The sky begins to darken.]
Yellow: Hold it right there!
MysticLens: Shaman Magic! DusTornado!
Mehen: Agh! Those who oppose the divine will shall perish!
Yellow: You call this divine will?! Eating children?!
Mehen: It is the only way…
Yellow: There’s no way I’ll let you! PawGrasper!

[Yellow launches her PawGrasper towards Mehen. Mehen stumbles back due to the scratches. Yellow continues her attack by swinging her deadly weapon back and forth at Mehen, each time inflicting more and more damage. Mehen rolls onto the floor.]

Yellow: Now, to finish you!
Blue: Sinai don’t!
PawGrasper: Land! Shake! TotalTremor!
Yellow: Let’s go! SlashImpact!
Blue: Wait!
[Yellow slashes Mehen with a yellow aura that envelops her claw and it manifests into a vicious panther. The aura charges at Mehen, but Mehen opens his mouth, and absorbs all the energy!]
Yellow: What?! No way!
Blue: Get out of there!
Yellow: Why?
Mehen: Mysticjar. Today you will die!
[Mehen unleashes a powerful gust of energy. The energy blows Alaric, Tassis, and Cala away, but it absorbs Kanro and Sinai into a whirlwind!]
Blue: Agh! We have to break free!
Yellow: I can’t! It’s as if the harder we hit it, the stronger it gets!
Mehen: Perish!
[Mehen unleashes a fury of slashes into the whirlwind which sends Kanro and Sinai flying!]
Alaric: Kanro! Sinai! Nooo!
Mehen: It’s far too late for them now.
Red: Why yooou!
Red: TalonSword!
Green: ViperWhip!
Pink: FrillSheild!
Mehen: Come at me!

[Red slashes at Mehen only for him to dodge it repeatedly. Red slashes towards his head, only for Mehen to catch the sword in his mouth! Mehen unleashes a series of wild slashes upon Red, and he falls back. Green jumps over him and whips Mehen. Mehen avoids the attacks, and grabs the whip. He spin kicks towards Green, sending him stumbling backwards as well. Pink launches her FrillShield repeatedly slashing Mehen. Mehen dashes towards Pink crashing into her, and sending her back too!]

Mehen: As you can see, the level of magic entrusted to me by Pharaoh Osiris far exceeds yours.
Red: Osiris?!
Mehen: Now watch, as the future of your civilization vanishes before your eyes!
Green and Pink: Nooo!

[Scene switches to a faraway forest creek, where Kanro and Sinai lie wounded.]

Sinai: Hey Kanro. Are you ok?
Kanro: Could have been worse. I never expected it to be this strong.
Sinai: What do you mean?
Kanro: That ReliCreature. Mehen. He killed my parents.
Sinai: Oh. So that’s why you were always so alone.
Kanro: I never knew why they didn’t come home that night. I just didn’t know… they were truly gone…
Sinai: Kanro…
Kanro: It’s fine. If my shaman training has taught me anything, it’s to find security where there is none. I feel like you guys have become like my family.
Sinai: That ReliCreature could have killed me. If you hadn’t shielded me like that…
Kanro: It’s no problem. Agh. Just one of the many effects of battle.
Sinai: C’mon Kanro. Can you stand? We have got to find the others.
Kanro: Yeah. I think that I found a way to get past his attack. It’s risky, but if we do it together…
Sinai: Let’s do it!

[Scene switches to the city fight where Alaric, Tassis, and Cala are being severely defeated by Mehen.]

All: Aaaaah!
Mehen: Formidable scum. This has gone on long enough.
[Mehen begins to charge his attack. He unleashes his powerful whirlwind towards the three. Just as the whirlwind is about to hit them, a blue ray hits Mehen’s forehead ausing him to stumble back.]
Red: Kanro! Sinai!
Kanro: Took us some time, but I think we finally got our act together. Ready, Sinai?
Sinai: Yep. Let’s go, Kanro!
Kanro and Sinai: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: AquaShaman! Land Shaman!
[They both fire their auras towards Mehen and charge towards them. Both jump and the aura’s energy encompasses their bodies and are transformed. They simultaneously kick Mehen and jump backwards.]
Yellow: It’s been awhile since we did our rollcall, hasn’t it guys?
Green: It sure has! Let’s do it!
[All jump upon the roof of a tall building.]
Red: Shaman of the Sun! MysticRed!
Blue: Shaman of the Deep! MysticBlue!
Yellow: Shaman of the Land! MysticYellow!
Green: Shaman of the Jungle! MysticGreen!
Pink: Shaman of the Winds! MysticPink!
Red: The Five Shamans that Transcend Time!
Red: Shaman Sentai!
All: Mysticjar!
Mehen: Announce yourselves however you wish, but I will not hold back!
Red: Kanro, Sinai. Why don’t you two take the lead on this one?
Blue: Alright Sinai, just like we planned!
Yellow: You got it! Go!

[All jump of of the building and rush towards Mehen. Mehen unleashes a whirlwind roar once again, but Yellow ducks and slides beneath it, while Blue pulls out his HoofClaw. Blue fires his weapon into the center of Mehen’s mouth causing him to stumble back in pain.]

Mehen: Thith wath a gifth from the Godth! You’ll pay!
Blue: Charge him!
Yellow: On it!

[Yellow flips over Mehen and ties his arms together with her PawGrasper. Yellow kicks Mehen’s back as she flips backwards in the air, just as blue is inserting his MystiClaw into his weapon!]
Blue: MystiClaw, set!
HoofClaw: Water! Crash! TidalTorrent!
Blue: WildGallop!

[Blue dashes towards Mehen with his HoofClaw pointed towards his head. His speed dashes into a gallop, as his blue aura envelops his body, and resembles the form of a wild mustang! The mustang aura stampedes towards Mehen, and Yellow jumps and spin-kicks Mehen’s back so he receives the full force of the attack! The aura crashes into Mehen, and Blue appears on the other side, screeching to a stop.]

Mehen: I may be defeated… but believe me you Shaman… that the worst is yet to come!
Mehen: My Pharaoooohhh!
[GIANT EXPLOSION!]

[Scene switches to the Abyss Cave.]

Tengu: As you can see, they are more resilient than we thought them to be.
Osiris: No. This isn’t over yet! Remove the seal!

[One of the Willwhisps opens up a sarcophagus with a lion’s head on it. The dark spirit energy flows from the sarcophagus into Mehen’s body, and grows him into a massive giant!]

Osiris: This is your second life, Mehen. Use it well.
Mehen: I shall please the gods with the destruction of the shaman!
Red: Uh you guys, it’s not over yet!
Yellow: What?! There’s no way!
Green: Watch out!

[Mehen tries to stop the Mysticjars, but they manage to jump out of the way just in time.]

Red: I never knew they could have second lives?!
Spirit: Alaric, I have prepared for this moment.
Red: How so?
Spirit: Reverse your MystiClaws. This way, your Shamanic Power will be focused outwards, and you might be able to manifest your SpiritBeasts.
Red: Might? What do you mean, might?
Spirit: I mean, that this has never been attempted before. The massive release of Shamanic Power might nearly drain you. it might even kill you.
Blue: But if we don’t, all those people will die.
Yellow: I agree. This is what we’ve been training our whole lives for. If we don’t risk it all, what’s the point?
Green: C’mon you guys, let’s do it!
Pink: Just being here with you guys once again has filled me up with power! We should go for it!
Red: You guys…
Blue: It’s your call, Alaric.
Red: You guys are right. Let’s do it! Reverse your MystiClaws!
All: On it!
[They all flip their MystiClaws and re-insert them into their MysticLens. The MysticLens begins to speak.]

MysticLens: Spirit Shourai! Uncharted Territory! Beware!

[The MysticLens begins draining the Mysticjars of their Shamanic Power. Slowly but surely, the form of giant animals start to form. But the process is intensely straining on their bodies!]

Red: Keep pushing everyone! We got to give it everything we’ve got!
Blue: All my training, I must put it into this moment!
Yellow: Let’s break our limits!
Green: The future is in our hands!
Pink: We are the shaman that transcend time!
Red: Summon! SpiritBeasts!
MysticLens: Spirit Shourai! FireFalcon! AquaStallion! ForestViper! LandPanther! WindLizard!

[The SpiritBeasts fully manifest and take form! FireFlacon covers himself in flame and charges straight into Mehen. AquaStallion and LandPanther dash and crash into Mehen causing him to stumble backwards. ForestViper wraps himself around Mehen’s legs, while WindLizard opens her frill and releases as storm of aura spikes at Mehen. Mehen falls back, but releases a mighty roar which shocks the SpiritBeasts into submission.]

Red: You guys, we’ve got to get in there!
Yellow: In where?
Blue: He must mean into our SpiritBeasts. We do use the same energy, so it could work!
Green: I’m going in!

[Green jumps and fuses with ForestViper. Both Shaman and Spirit now share the same body, and become that much stronger! The others join in, and do the same.]

FireFalcon: This is it! We can do it now, I can feel it!
ForestViper: I feel it too! The surge of power! We must unite our spirits into one!
LandPanther: Unite our spirits into one? That sounds pretty gross.
WindLizard: Gross or not, let’s try it!
AquaStallion: I’ll lead on this one.
All: Let’s do it!

[AquaStallion dashes forwards at a rapid pace. He suddenly jumps up, and folds in his legs and head. ForestViper slithers beneath him, and folds his body in half and combines with AquaStallion to form the legs. LandPanther and WindLizard leap and snap themselves into their respective arm positions. The mecha begins to rise. FireFalcon soars into the air towards the sun, and folds his wings inwards and the face flips down. He snaps into place becoming the head. The mecha is now complete!]

All: The Mecha That Transcends Time! Shaman-Oh, Light The Way!
Mehen: Is this thing supposed to extinguish my second life? In the name of Osiris, I shall not die! … Yet…
All: Let’s charge him!

[Shaman-Oh begins his attack. He punches Mehen with his Panther Arm, then slashes him with his Lizard Arm. Mehen stumbles back, then leaps on top of Shaman-Oh! Viper Legs extend, and bite Mehen and he is forced off. Shaman-Oh leads with a melee of kicks that crush Mehen’s defense. Mehen counters with a roar, but Shaman-Oh leaps to the side and dodges it.]

FireFalcon: It’s time we ended this.
All: Shaman-Oh, SpiritHeart!

[Shaman-Oh gathers all his energy derived from the five SpiritBeasts and begins to shine bright with the five colors!]

Mehen: I am not one to fear the light! Bring it on!

[Shaman-Oh releases a burst of light directed at Mehen. Mehen receives the full impact of the blast, and is destroyed. Shaman-Oh turns around to face the skyline. The sign of a victorious battle!]

All: Ooooh yeah! We did it!
FireFalcon: Out like a candle!
Red: (To himself) Maybe someday I will tell them why they were chosen. I just hope that in the end,... they won’t be too hurt to fight…

[Scene switches to Abyss Cave.]

Tengu: Another formidable loss at the hands of those shaman…
Olmec: Agh?
Icarus: I’d say it’s about my turn to fight! If I was to fight, they wouldn’t stand a chance! I would take em’ apart! Piece by piece!
Osiris: You are right. They are an annoyance. However, they are not a concern.
Tengu: Why do you hold the enemy in such low regard?! Your overconfidence will be your destruction. As it was mine…
Osiris: Luckily for us I found something I had believed was long lost. An ancient treasure so powerful, no one can stop it once it’s started.
Icarus: Ooooh, a toy? Can I see, lemme see, lemme see!

[Osiris pulls out an hourglass from under his robe. He holds it to the light so everyone can see what it is.]

Osiris: This is the Fated Hourglass. A single cycle lasts a year. Once started, every day that passes when those shaman destroy one of our own ReliCreatures, the hourglass compensates, and turns a section of their world to dust!
Icarus: Start it! Start it now! Destruction! Chaos! I want it all now!
Osiris: With this, the destruction of civilization now has a time limit! Haaaa! Hahahahahaaaaaa!

[Osiris flips over the Fated Hourglass, and the sands begin to run. In the distance of the human world, an entire city crumbles to dust!]

Osiris: So you want to play games, do you shaman? Well I’m afraid my games are ones you never should have played!
Osiris: If only, you, hadn’t started playing, old friend…

[Osiris turns and his gaze rests upon a stone statue of a rainbow serpent, Kajura.]

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Green: The city is disintegrating!
Yellow: What is going on?!
…
Harpy: Helloooo little-shaman! It’s finally my turn to play!
…
Kanro: She took Cala…
Tassis: I’ll use all my power to save her.
…
Pink: What are you going to do to me?
Harpy: Silly girl! I’m going to steal your power for Master Icarus!

## Episode 3- Forgotten Wings

Journals / Personal
Setting: The Mysticjars witness as an entire city building crumbles before their very eyes! They don’t know what is going on, and they try to consult Spirit about it.

Tassis: Spirit, what is going on?!
Spirit: I do not know. But I fear the worst.
Cala: How is this possible? We defeated Mehen.
Alaric: It appears The Ancients don’t want to give us that win.
Kanro: Man, out of all of the villains in Sentai, why are we stuck with the most obstinate ones?
All: What?!
Kanro: Oh, nothing. Sorry.
Sinai: We might as well go and check.
Tassis: Right. Me and Cala will go. You guys stay and watch out for ReliCreatures.
Sinai: Right.
Tassis: Let’s go Cala.
Cala: On my way.

[Scene switches to the Abyss Cave.]

Osiris: Have you seen?! My magic is tremendous!
Tengu: True. If we give those shaman a time limit to save their world, surely they will fall.
Olmec: Aaaah!
Osiris: Icarus! I have decided to have you take the lead. Finish the raid on the city.
Icarus: Finally! Harpy! Harpy! Hurry up and fly to me!
Harpy: Master Icarus, what have you summoned me for?
Icarus: Come! Secret, secret.
Icarus: I want you to capture that pink shaman, and bring her here.
Harpy: Why, sir?!
Icarus: She has wind Shamanic Power. If you bring her here, I can steal it away from her!
Harpy: And maybe, you will be able to get your wings back!
Icarus: Yes! With my wings back I can wreak havoc on their city. I can be free of this prison!
Harpy: I shall do as you wish, Master Icarus.

[Scene switches to the city.]

Tassis: There doesn’t seem to be anyone here.
Cala: Tassis… Look.
Tassis: All the people inside, they’ve turned to dust!
Cala: Watch out!

[A giant sandstorm whips up, and sinks the dust beneath the Earth.]

Tassis: Noo! All those people…
Harpy: Aaaw, lonely? I’ll keep you company.

[Harpy flies into Tassis, and carries him through the air!]

Tassis: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: ForestShaman!

[The green viper aura rapidly surrounds Tassis and transforms him. Harpy flies him straight into a wall.]

Cala: Tassis! Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: WindShaman!
Pink: Tassis, are you ok?
Green: Yeah, just took me by surprise.
Harpy: If that was a shock, than this will really scare you!

[Harpy rapidly flies directly at Pink. She grabs her and flies into the air. Green pulls out his ViperWhip, and grabs Harpy’s leg.]

Green: Oh no you don’t!
Harpy: Annoying snake!

[Suddenly, a red slash hits Harpy, and knocks her out of the air.]

Red: You ok, Tassis?
Green: Yeah. Good that you guys are here.
Blue: C’mon, you guys. Let’s finish her!
Harpy: I won’t die. Not until I have her!

[Harpy flies once again towards Pink, only to be knocked down again by Red. Red and the others charge at Harpy, and they all slash their weapons at her, which causes her to stumble back. Harpy turns and unleashes a terrible screech. The screech knocks the shaman into submission. Harpy grabs Pink once again, and opens a tornado upon the other shaman.]

Red: Cala! Nooo!
Harpy: Say goodbye!
Pink: Nooo!

[Harpy and Pink both vanish into a tornado of air.]

Green: (Hits the floor) Ugh! I couldn’t save her.
Yellow: Where could they have taken her?
Red: I don’t know. I just hope we find her before something bad happens.
Blue: Come on you guys. Let’s split up. We’ll cover more of the city in our MysticBeasts.
All: Right!
Red: Wait you guys. What if they aren’t in the city at all.
Yellow: Alaric, what do you mean?

[Scene switches to Abyss Cave, where Pink is chained to a subterranean wall. It is a dark room, with a pool filled with violent water. Pink can feel small movement beneath the water, and she squirms as Harpy approaches her.]

Harpy: Comfortable?
Pink: Where am I?
Icarus: In a prison, my girl.
Pink: Who are you?
Icarus: (Remaining hidden in the shadows) People call be Icarus. But my own call me Master.
Pink: You. You’re different than the others.
Icarus: Smart girl. I am one of five. Five nightmares you never wish existed.
Pick: What do you want?
Icarus: Nothing really. I want to tell you a story.
Icarus: "Once upon a time, my father, a genius builder, built the king of my city a miraculous castle. The king was so pleased, that he awarded him with tons of riches. When the king found treasure missing from his room, my father was the first to be accused of treason. The king locked both me and my father in the tallest part of the castle. My father built wings to help me escape. He told me to not fly higher than the sun or they would melt. I didn’t listen. I fell. To my death. My wings, died alongside myself."
Icarus: So now you see, young one. My story is a sad one. In order to escape from here, and kill the king who stole everything from me, I require my wings. Something you can give me.
Pink: Sorry, I’m all out of wings.
Icarus: Haha! I like you. Too bad I’m going to have to kill you.

[Icarus unleashes a white light from his hand. The light reaches Pink, and begins to steal her power!]

Pink: Aaaaahh! Stop… please…
Icarus: My wings? Or your life? Sorry! My wish is cooler!
Pink: Aaaaagh!
Red: Release her!
Icarus: What?!

[Red pulls out his TalonSword and slashes at Icarus. Harpy charges towards Red, but Red dodges, and slashes back at her causing her to fall back. Red cuts the chains that hold Pink, and catches her.]

Pink: Alaric? How did you find this place?
Red: Shh. Sleep now, Cala.

[Red touches Pink’s forehead and it puts her to sleep.]

Icarus: You demented shaman! How did you find this cave?
Red: I don’t need to answer to you, Icarus!
Icarus: Wait. How do you know my name?

[Red tries to slash at Icarus, but Harpy grabs him and drags him outside. Red slashes Harpy, and grabs Pink. They both rush to the surface world.]

Icarus: Harpy! Chase him. Kill him if you have to. I have what I came for.
Harpy: Understood, Master Icarus.

[Scene switches to the surface world, where Harpy is shooting at Red from the sky while he is running with Pink in his arms. The other shaman soon appear ahead.]

Yellow: Alaric! There he is. And he’s got Cala!
All: What?!
Red: You guys, here take Cala.
Yellow: What happened to her?
Red: They tried to steal her Shamanic Power.
Green: I got her. Cala, are you ok?
Pink: Where… where am I?
Red: She’s confused, let her rest. We’ll handle this.
Green: Gotcha.

[Green sets her down while the other three begin to attack Harpy.]

[Red draws his TalonSword and unleashes a fury of flame attacks on Harpy, knocking her out of the sky. Blue follows up, and shoots his HoofClaw and it hits Harpy in the face. Harpy stumbles back, but Yellow comes out from behind, and slashes her repeatedly with her PawGrasper. Harpy jumps and rolls backwards, but Green stands above her, and whips her with his ViperWhip weapon. This causes Harpy to fly backwards and roll on the ground.]

Red: Cala, are you ok?
Pink: Yeah, let’s finish this.
Red: Alright!
Red: Shaman of the Sun! MysticRed!
Blue: Shaman of the Deep! MysticBlue!
Yellow: Shaman of the Land! MysticYellow!
Green: Shaman of the Jungle! MysticGreen!
Pink: Shaman of the Wind! MysticPink!
Red: The Five Shamans that Transcend Time! Shaman Sentai!
All: Mysticjar!
Harpy: I will end you all!
Red: Let’s charge ‘em!
All: Right!

[Red soars up into the sky, and slashes Harpy with his TalonSword. Harpy falls down to the ground, where Blue starts galloping towards her. Blue’s aura manifests into a stallion and it hits Harpy at full impact. It sends Harpy flying backwards as Yellow tosses her PawGrasper through Harpy’s body. Harpy stumbles and rolls backwards, smoke emanating from her body. Green flips from above and whips her repeatedly with his ViperWhip. Pink finishes by spin-kicking towards her a flurry of aura needles that strike Harpy, forcing her to stumble backwards.]

Red: Had enough?
Harpy: Not by a longshot!
Red: You heard her. Let’s combine our weapons!
All: Right!

[Red’s TalonSword is the middle, Blue’s HoofClaw becomes the grip. Yellow’s PawGrasper becomes the grip holder. Green’s ViperWhip runs across the blade. And Pink’s FrillShield attaches to the front. The LifeSaber is now complete!]

Red: LifeSaber! En guarde!
Harpy: That all you got?
All: LifeSaber! ShamanicSlash!

[The LifeSaber begins to shine with the colors of all five auras. The shaman slash at Harpy, and the LifeSaber unleashes a long golden arrow which cuts straight through Harpy’s body! Harpy struggles, but turns around, and falls.]

Harpy: You think this is over?! My Master has his wings, and with it, he will have freedom! Aaah!

[BIG EXPLOSION!]

Blue: Well, that’s that.
Yelow: Another job well done you guys!
Blue: Yeah!
Green: But wait, Alaric. How did you know where Cala was?
Red: That…

[Suddenly all five turn to face a giant building that crumbles to dust before their eyes! The building is gone in an instant, and all that is left is a mountain of dust in it’s place.]

Green: What?!
Pink: Oh no!
Yellow: Not again!
Blue: What is going on?!
Red: (To himself) So it’s true. They’ve given us a deadline to save the world.
Icarus: Foolish shaman!

[The shaman turn to the sky and see Master Icarus flying downwards towards the shaman. Icarus’s wings are large and majestic and they are shining with a dazzling white glow.]

Icarus: With my wings back the way they were, I have the power to revive my fallen allies! Rise again, Harpy!

[Icarus’s wings send forth a gust of wind that turn Harpy’s fallen body into a giant. Harpy spreads her wings, and begins to fly all over shooting at the city and destroying it.]

Icarus: And now, watch as your city is destroyed, while I destroy YOU!

[Icarus dashes towards the shaman, his eyes are full of rage. A massive white and dark aura engulfs his body, and he is about to strike the shaman. Suddenly, purple-glowing chains spring out of the underworld, and grab Icarus. The chains drag him downwards towards the Abyss.]

Icarus: Nooo! My time can’t be out?! Let me fight more! Let me destroy them! Noooo!

[Icarus is sucked into the Abyss, and the portal closes after him. The shaman remain looking in astonishment.]

Spirit: You guys! Harpy is destroying the city!
Red: R-r-right! Guys, let’s go.
All: Ok.
MysticLens: Spirit Shourai! FireFalcon! AquaStallion! LandPanther! ForestViper! WindLizard!
All: The Mecha That Transcends Time! Shaman-Oh, Light The Way!

[Shaman-Oh points his LizardArm at the sky and shoots at Harpy. Harpy falls down to the floor. Shaman-Oh unleashes a melee of punches with his PantherArm. Harpy stumbles backwards in a daze. Shaman-Oh jumps up and kicks Harpy with his ViperLegs. Harpy rolls backwards, and unleashes a screech towards Shaman-Oh. Shaman-Oh stumbles back, but then the shaman begin to counter.]

Red: Everyone! Let’s go with heart!
All: Right!
All: Shaman-Oh, SpiritHeart!

[Shaman-Oh releases a burst of light directed at Harpy. Harpy receives the full impact of the blast, and is destroyed. Shaman-Oh turns around to face the skyline. The sign of a victorious battle!]

All: Out like a candle! Right Alaric?
Red: Haha! Right you are.

[Alaric looks in the direction of the explosion. He can’t seem to shake from his mind what he saw with Icarus. Is he really back? Has the world been given a time-limit? Will Alaric ever tell the others his secret?]

[Scene switches to Abyss Cave.]

Icarus: Why?! Why, Master Osiris?! I had them in my grasp! I could have ended this war! Why did you stop me?!
Osiris: Icarus, unlike the ReliCreatures, I have an important need for you. The time to fight will come, but right now, not even you are ready to take on those shaman.
Tengu: Master Osiris, what of our next move?
Osiris: It’s simple. The hourglass is flowing well. The more we wait, the faster their world crumbles. The ReliCreatures serve to speed up the sands. It’s about time we showed them what they’re up against.
Tengu: You mean me, sir? I will have my Ayakashi prepare at once for battle.
Osiris: You would do well Tengu, to destroy the one who you have a link to. Don’t you remember? The night you killed the blue shaman’s parents?
Tengu: I have not forgotten. The link shall be broken, Master Osiris.
Osiris: Finally! The day of the Master’s resurrection is near! It has all become... a matter of time!
Osiris: Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Tengu: Blue-one, you shall face the blade today.
…
Kanro: You? You killed my parents?!
Tengu: My eternal desire, has been to destroy your lineage!
…
Spirit: The chains you say dragged Icarus to the Abyss? What do you plan to do, Alaric?
Alaric: I have no choice. I have to tell them the truth.
…
Osiris: Master, I have good news…

TO BE CONTINUED…

## Episode 4- Eternal Desire

by SpecialForm12, Jan 8, 2016, 6:16:04 PM
Journals / Personal
Setting: The Mysticjar’s are worried about the crumbling of the buildings. They eagerly rush to consult Spirit and what he might know of what’s going on.

Sinai: Spirit! Have you seen it?!
Spirit: I have. The destruction of the city buildings…
Tassis: I don’t get it. We defeated the monster, so why is the city crumbling?
Spirit: I have a theory. The Ancients have found the Fated Hourglass.
Kanro: The Fated Hourglass?
Spirit: Yes. Long ago, the Egyptian pharaohs had a gathering to decide who should be the one to inherit the most powerful treasure of the gods. The Hourglass was never to be turned, for it would signify the 365 day destruction of the Earth. It was only to be used in the event that chaos and disorder would ravage the Earth, and the last option would be to begin it anew.
Sinai: But, who could have created such a thing?
Spirit: I know of only one. The Lord Pharaoh Osiris.
Kanro: Osiris?
Spirit: He is the most clever of The Ancients. He uses his magic to suppress civilizations across time with his influence. He is a sly opponent. And we should not underestimate him. Being that the buildings have already been crumbling for some time now, I fear the same has happened all over the world. We only have a matter of months before the whole world collapses.
Cala: Oh no!
Alaric: Don’t worry. I’m sure we can find a way.
Spirit: It won’t be easy. Every day that goes by when you defeat a ReliCreature, another building will collapse. We can only hope we can find a way to defeat our enemies before the Hourglass runs out.
Kanro: So, we have a time-limit to save the world now, do we?
Sinai: Seems so. And we are the only ones with the power to stop them.
Alaric: Spirit, there is something else.
Spirit: What?! Icarus you say?
Alaric: Yes. We witnessed him in battle. He was fierce, and his attacks appeared to be far more powerful than I have ever seen before.
Spirit: And then what?
Kanro: Just as he was about to strike us, these purple chains arose from the ground and diminished his attack to nothing. They ended up dragging him underground.
Spirit: That can only mean…
Wind: Guys! Terrible news!
Sinai: Let me guess. Another ReliCreature?
Wind: But this one is different.
Tassis: What do you mean different?
Wind: He doesn’t seem to be attacking anything. It seems like he’s looking for something.
Cala: Looking for something?
Alaric: Whoever he is, his presence upon this world is already bringing destruction. Let’s go.
All: Right!

[They all rush towards the exit, but Alaric gets a psychic message from Spirit.]

Spirit: (Psychically) Osiris’ influence is stronger than we previously thought. What do you plan to do Alaric?
Alaric: (Psychically) I do not know. But I do know I have a mission to keep my team safe, no matter what happens. I just know that someday, I will have to tell them the truth.

[Spirit releases Alaric from the psychic link, and Alaric dashes outside.]

Wind: Will they really be ok, Spirit? I mean, you know what could happen, don’t you?
Spirit: I don’t worry. They are the five Shaman that Transcend Time itself. If anyone was born to handle this burden, it’s them.
Wind: You’re right. We are keeping our promise after all.
Spirit: Hmm…

[Scene switches to the city, where a lone ReliCreature is wandering around looking towards the sky.]

Obake: The shaman is hidden well. I cannot detect any patterns in the winds.
Kanro: Looking for us?

[The five shaman appear and stand in front of the creature. The monster is dressed in traditional Japanese samurai armor, carries a sword and a helmet, but he has no face!]

Obake: Silly fool. I cannot look at anything. Yet I can see you perfectly.
Tassis: Why are you here?
Obake: My mission is not with you, but with the Blue-one.
Kanro: Me?!
Obake: Shogun Tengu has been waiting for a long time.
Kanro: A long time for what?
Obake: To see the last member of the Kanro-lineage perish.
Sinai: Like that’s gonna happen!
Obake: That’s it. Protect your friend. It will make your agony all the more pleasing.
Alaric: Guys, let’s do it!
All: Right!
All: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: FireShaman! AquaShaman! LandShaman! ForestShaman! WindShaman!

[They all punch at the air towards them. The MysticLens releases a powerful aura of red, blue, yellow, green, and pink energy that look like each member’s respective animals. The five dash towards their auras, and plunge into them. The aura animal’s head encompasses their heads forming the helmet's. The remaining spirit energy wraps around their body and forms the suit. Their transformation is complete!]

Red: Shaman of the Sun! MysticRed!
Blue: Shaman of the Deep! MysticBlue!
Yellow: Shaman of the Land! MysticYellow!
Green: Shaman of the Jungle! MysticGreen!
Pink: Shaman of the Wind! MysticPink!
Red: The Five Shaman that Transcend Time!
Red: Shaman Sentai!
All: Mysticjar!

[Obake stands silent, as he slowly draws his sword. His eyes remain focused intently on the ground, as if in deep concentration.]

Green: Let’s charge him!
All: Let’s go!

[Yellow and Green both charge at Obake drawing out their weapons. Green and Yellow both jump up to slash at Obake, when he suddenly looks up, and has the face of Sinai! Obake spins on the ground and slashes Yellow in midair, and she falls to the ground.]

Green: Sinai! Are you alright?
Yelow: So you think you can steal my face and get away with it?!
Obake: Believe be, I did much more than just steal your face.
Yellow: Ah! … Ok, I’m still a girl. You’re gonna get it!
Obake: Come when ready.

[Yellow pulls out her PawGrasper and throws it at Obake, only to see him catch it in midair! Obake grabs the rope and pulls Yellow and flips her over his head and onto the ground. Obake then delivers a series of slashes upon Yellow, causing her to be thrown back out of her transformation!]

Red: Sinai, I thought you said he was gonna get it.
Sinai: Oh grow up. He has the power to copy our movements, be careful.
Obake: One down, four to go.
Red: Charge him at once, it could confuse him long enough for us to get a hit on him.
All: Right!
Obake: Willwhisps! Destroy them.
Red: Let’s go!

[Red and the others dash in to fight off the Willwhisps. They are all occupied fighting them while Obake dashes through the Willwhisps straight towards Blue! Blue turns up just in time to see Obake’s sword glow a dark purple and slashes him upwards. The power of the slash is extremely powerful, and it knocks Blue out of his transformation as well.]

Red: Kanro!

[Red draws out his TalonSword, and slashes up the remaining Willwhisps who vanish in an instant. Red soars towards Obake, but Obake sticks out his hand and shoots a purple flame at Red that ties him up in a fire-rope. Obake stoops down and grabs Kanro’s body.]

Obake: Don’t worry. I shouldn’t be long with him.

[Obake jumps a long distance into a faraway forest where he is lost from view. The fire-rope vanishes, and Alaric rushes into the forest after Obake.]

Alaric: He won’t get away, I can track him through the woods.
Sinai: Why did he take Kanro? What is so important about him?
Tassis: Whatever it is, Kanro isn’t going to last long with a monster who can copy our styles.
Cala: We should split up. We can cover the forest better that way.
Alaric: Good idea. Remember your training. Your spirits will be able to guide you.
All: Right!

[All the shaman dash into the dark forest, hoping to find Kanro before something terrible comes his way.]

[Scene switches to a lake inside of a clearing within the forest. Kanro lies on the ground and struggles to get up. Obake stands above him, looking down.]

Kanro: What do you want from me?
Obake: Not me. Shogun Tengu has a personal message for you.
Kanro: Shogun Tengu?
Obake: My master.

[Obake turns and the water in the lake begins to glow a dark and misty color. The water turns into a whirlpool, and from it rises a large and fearsome warrior. He is covered in armor, and his helmet gives way to a skull face. Tengu lands in front of Obake, and then makes his way towards Kanro.]

Tengu: Kanro.
Kanro: Your aura. It’s so… dark…
Tengu: You don’t remember me. But I remember you. That night… your father was quite the opponent.
Kanro: It can’t be… what do you know of my father?!
Tengu: He was strong and formidable. He could wield a blade like none other. But it is to be expected of my master.
Kanro: My father… he trained you?!
Tengu: Your father was the strongest warrior I had ever seen. He was the only opponent who I could never defeat. But your father saw something in me that he didn’t see in anyone else. He saw I had potential. I trained with him for years, and I learned to master all 999 weapons. When the time came for me to become the full master, he told me that I lacked the final piece. My anger, I could not contain it, and I ravaged the village. Your father appeared to stop me. He put up a strong fight, but in the end, he died by this blade. Since then I thought that I had surpassed him. I became so powerful, I became a god. And then I learned,... that he has a son?!
Kanro: That must mean…
Tengu: By this blade, I have destroyed your father, and by the same blade, I will destroy you.

[Tengu raises his katana to strike at Kanro. Kanro dodges and rolls sideways.]

Kanro: If it’s a duel you want, then believe me you’ll get it. I will avenge my father, and defend the Kanro name! Even if I have to strike down a god.
Tengu: Strong-willed. You are your father’s son. If those words come from your heart, then upon the day the last leaf has fallen off the tree you will come to me, and we will duel.
Kanro: You have a deal.
Tengu: Obake, take down the barrier. I have what I came here for.
Obake: It shall be done.
Tengu: Blue-one… destroy my subordinate.
Obake: Sir?!
Tengu: If you are resolute, you will be the one who defeats him. Otherwise, you will never stand a chance against me.

[Tengu draws his katana, and with a single circular slash he cuts down every tree in the clearing.]

Tengu: Train. So your death won’t be an embarrassment.
Kanro: You underestimate me.
Kanro: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: AquaShaman!

[A blue aura shaped like a stallion envelops Kanro’s body and transforms him as he dashes at maximum speed towards Obake knocking him through several trees until he is on the other side of the clearing. Tengu and Blue seriously stare at each other for a few instants before Blue rushes into the forest. Tengu puts his katana back into his sheath, and walks into the water until he is fully underwater, and out of view.]

[The scene switches to the forest where the other shaman have gathered and have found no luck in finding Kanro.]

Alaric: Any luck?
Sinai: Nothing.
Tassis: I looked everywhere.
Cala: Oh, I wonder where he could be?
Sinai: I just wish someone would give us some sort of sign!

[Suddenly Obake comes crashing through several trees and he flies directly over the shaman! Blue appears shortly after that.]

Blue: Well, what took you guys so long?
Sinai: Kanro! What happened?
Blue: I handled it, just like I always do.
Cala: You sure had us worried.
Blue: Were a team, remember? There is no way we can ever stay apart.
Alaric: What do you say Kanro? Wanna take the lead on this one?
Blue: It would be my honor.
Alaric: Guys, let’s show that copycat what shaman can do when we work together!
All: Right!
All: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: FireShaman! LandShaman! ForestShaman! WindShaman!

[The four animal auras that emanate from the shaman’s hands wrap around the four’s bodies and transform them.]

Red: Let’s charge!

[The five dash out of the forest.]

[The scene switches to the city, where a fallen Obake struggles to rise to his feet, while the five united shaman rush out of the forest to confront him.]

Obake: I shall not go down without a fight.
Blue: You’ve got one.
Obake: If anything, I will steal your abilities and redeem myself to my master.
Yellow: That’s sure not gonna go with me! Let’s do it!
All: Right.
Obake: Seibai!

[Red and the others charge towards Obake. Obake quickly switches his face so it looks exactly like Red’s face, and he slashes his sword in a swinging motion, each time slashing more and more. Blue suddenly jumps up, just as Obake’s face changes again, this time to match Blue’s face! Obake turns towards the floor and kicks Blue in the air with both his feet, sending him flying back. Obake then takes on Green’s face, and slides his legs in a circular motion that sweeps everyone away.]

Green: Wow. Is this how strong we really are?
Pink: Now that you mention it, it does seem kind of embarrassing.
Red: Come on you guys, think. We got to counter our own moves.
Blue: Let’s switch it up a bit.
Blue: We can use each other’s techniques.
Green: Cool! I’ve always wanted to fight like Kanro.
Yellow: Well now you can. Let’s just see if it will outsmart Obake.
Obake: Conversation will not be forgiven.
Red: Don’t worry. Soon you’ll be talking to your dead friends.
Blue: Don’t forget to thank us when you get there.
Obake: You sure talk big, but can’t prove your power.
Red: Let’s show ‘em!

[Red jumps at Obake, and Obake’s face switches to Red, but then Red spins in the air and side-kicks him knocking him backwards.]

Obake: Impossible. That’s Green’s technique.

[Green jumps behind Obake and rolls along the floor, and then he jumps up and slashes Obake several times. Yellow winds up, and as Obake stumbles back, she kicks him with her both legs. Pink finishes by scaling up a wall, and spinning and slashing Obake in the air! Obake falls to the ground, confused as to why his attacks no longer work. Blue jumps up, and spins in the air. He then brings his foot down upon Obake’s head sensor, smashing it.]

Obake: My sensor! How will I be able to copy you now?!
Blue: The only thing you’ll be copying, is exploding.
Obake: Why you!

[Blue whips out his HoofClaw, and uses it to repel several of Obake’s attacks. Blue rolls back, and then springs upwards thrusting his HoofClaw into Obake! Obake stumbles backwards, but Blue charges again, and rapidly unleashes a close combat upon Obake with his HoofClaw. Obake rolls onto the floor, while Blue pulls out his MystiClaw, and inserts it into his HoofClaw.]

HoofClaw: Water! Crash! TidalTorrent!
Blue: This is one stallion you can never tame.

[Blue charges at max speed at Obake, while a giant blue aura shaped as a stallion envelops his body, and the avatar smashes directly into Obake, with him receiving the full impact of the attack.]

Obake: My master will surely… revive me!

[BIG EXPLOSION!]

Red: That was epic Kanro!
Green: Since when have you become so strong?
Blue: I guess, I just needed the right incentive.
Blue: (To himself) I know he’s watching. Our battle has only just begun.

[Scene switches to the Abyss Cave.]

Icarus: Go ahead Tengu. Revive your Relicreature. I’m bored.
Tengu: I won’t.
Icarus: What?! Why?
Tengu: He surved his purpose. He of all should be prepared to face death without the promise of revival.
Olmec: Aaaaagh.
Tengu: I have what I came for. I have secured two fates. This duel will come.
Icarus: At least you got what you wanted. I got my wings back, but I’m not allowed to use them.
Osiris: I told you Icarus. I cannot have the generals being destroyed before the Master appears.
Icarus: You think I will be destroyed?!
Osiris: I do not doubt your power, but we cannot take risks. Besides, we have a more important job to do before the Master returns.
Icarus: And what might that be?
Osiris: It seems an old friend has begun to stir in his slumber. We must eagerly await his revival.

[Osiris turns and looks towards rhe stone statue of the rainbow serpent. Kajura, is slowly accumulating power.]

[Scene switches to the forest, where the shaman reconvene with Spirit.]

Cala: That was incredible!
Sinai: Don’t mess with the stallion. All right!
Alaric: You really came out strong, Kanro. I can sense it in your spirit too.
Kanro: Yeah, I can feel it. Spirit, is this what shamanic growth is?
Spirit: Yes. When a shaman overcomes a challenge with their own power, their spirit gets a boost. Such is called shamanic growth. I have seen you all grow throughout the years, ever since you were young. Now as shaman, your growth will surely reach a new stage. I can feel it.
Tassis: I’m still worried about the cities. What can we do to stop it?
Spirit: I do not know. All I know is as long as the Hourglass is running, we are all in danger.
Sinai: This fight is just beginning.

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Osiris: Master, I hear your call.
…
Olmec: Doku’gaan…
Doku’gaan: Poison it I shall.
…
Cala: We’re trapped!
Tassis: We can’t let them open the door, or the poison will flood the city.
…
Spirit: There’s no time left! You must close the door.
Red: There is no way I’m leaving my friends!
…
Spirit: What is this strange sensation?

## Episode 5- Order and Chaos

by SpecialForm12, Mar 13, 2016, 6:47:47 PM
Journals / Personal
[The scene begins in a dark section of Abyss Cave, where Osiris is sitting silently in front of a small golden pyramid in deep meditation.]

Osiris: Master… I can sense your presence…

????: ….Osiris….

Osiris: Yes Master, I am here.

????: ...You…. Must…. Be… The… One…

Osiris: Master? I am losing you. What is it I must do?

????: ….Unlock… Me….

Osiris: Master, I am trying. But Kajura is siphoning the energy from me. He is too strong to be awakened once again. Master, grant me the power to surpass him.

????: …

Osiris: Agh! The Master is gone.

Osiris: If this world truly is destined to start again, then I must never allow Kajura to revive!

[Scene switches to the forest, where the shaman are deeply engaged in spirit channeling training. Alaric is supervising the exercises are executed well.]

Alaric: You have to channel your spirit energy, to make it reach its maximum. Half or less won’t nearly be enough to save yourselves in the event of danger.

Tassis: What is the point of this?

Cala: We already know how to create our MysticBeasts, what more do we need?

Alaric: Summoning MysticBeasts is only a small portion of what you are all capable of. By channeling your spirits, you are able to safeguard your vitals. In the event that you are in extreme danger, spirit channeling might be able to save your lives.

Kanro: I get it. Just focus on the buildup. The way is most important, not the outcome.

Sinai: This position is really putting a strain on my lower back.

Alaric: Alright, take a rest. But let’s reconvene soon. We don’t know when something might come.

[Alaric, Kanro, and Sinai leave to their rooms, while Tassis and Cala decide to explore the city for a change.]

Tassis: You know, it's nice to see that people are still keeping up the stronghold at home.

Cala: With everything that has been going on recently, I am surprised that they are still here.

Tassis: Well, this is our first time in the city without any need to transform. What should we do?

Cala: I think we should go and check out that museum over there. It sure looks interesting.

Tassis: The Earth has sure come a long way since we last saw it. it would be nice to see what’s changed.

Cala: Let’s go then!

[Scene switches to the forest where Alaric, Kanro, and Sinai are resting.]

Alaric: Kanro, your power seems to have gotten stronger since last time.

Kanro: It must have been the surge of Shamanic Power I got after I encountered Tengu.

Sinai: Speaking of which, I’ve noticed that when a general appears, they seem to target only one person. Icarus attacks Cala, Tengu attacks Kanro. Why?

Alaric: It must be a part of their desire.

Sinai: Desire?

Alaric: Yes. The Ancients see in us their missing piece, something that they lack in order to be complete. Icarus lacked his wings, and Tengu lacked his freedom from regret.

Kanro: It’s almost as if their power is very similar to ours: Tengu needs Water Shamanism, while Icarus needs Wind Shamanism.

Alaric: I have a feeling that they will try to use any means possible to get their way.

Sinai: That just leaves Osiris. I wonder who he might target?

Spirit: It is hard to say. But each of them do have a distinct affiliation with you. I would advise to be very careful when they come.

Alaric: Surely we will.

Sinai: That reminds me, where did Cala and Tassis go?

Kanro: They went off to explore the city. It’s been a long time since we’ve actually seen it.

Wind: Guys! Something bad has happened!

Sinai: What’s wrong?

Wind: A museum has just been attacked by a ReliCreature! He is holding people hostage inside.

MysticLens: “Guys, we’re in a bit of trouble here.” -Tassis

[The three rush towards the city museum, only to find the doors closed and a strange purple mist filled up inside. the three notice a ReliCreature standing over a bunch of people, and Tassis and Cala are trapped inside as well!]

Sinai: That’s it! You mess with my friends, you’re gonna get it!

Dokuga’an: You… not… come… here.

[A crowd of Willwhisps suddenly materialise in front of the building and charge directly at the three shaman.]

Kanro: Alaric, me and Sinai will handle these guys. You try to find a way to get everyone outside.

Alaric: I’m on it!

Kanro and Sinai: Shamanic Transcendance!

MysticLens: AquaShaman! LandShaman!

[Blue and Yellow charge at the Willwhisps and open a path for Alaric to rush into. Alaric transforms, and reaches the building only to find that the inside is filled with deadly poisonous gas! Dokuga’an phases through the door and confronts Red.]

Dokuga’an: Defeat me? Save friends?

Red: Why not both?

[Red pulls out his TalonSword and slashes at Dokuga’an. He evades and hits Red back with a powerful force. Red stumbles backwards, and Dokuga’an points his cannon at Red, and shoots a stream of poison into him. The poison quickly takes effect, and Red feels a tremendous loss in power.]

Dokuga’an: This poison… work fast. Kill you… it will.

Red: Aaaaah!

[Red pulls his MysticLens lever several times. The MysticLens shouts: “FlameBody! SpiritChanneling!” The poison suddenly dissipates, and Red flies at Dokuga’an with his sword drawn and burns him with his fiery slashes. The creature stumbles back, confused as to why his poison did not kill.]

Red: You see Tassis and Cala?

Red: If you channel your spirit, the energy focuses, and you can expel any vile substance.

Tassis: Cala… these people… we got to try it.

Cala: Come on… let’s focus.

[Tassis and Cala try to repel the poisonous gas, but they have already been weakened by the poison in their systems, and they collapse on the floor!]

Red: Cala! Tassis!

Dokuga’an: You... won’t... save them.

Yellow: But we will!

[Yellow and Blue jump up from behind Red and slash at the monster who stumbles back. Blue and Yellow grab him, and drag him away from the building.]

Yellow: We got this one. Now go and rescue those lives!

Blue: We’ll be done with this guy in no time. Sinai, show him what we learned. MysticLens: AquaBody! LandBody! SpiritChanelling!

[Both their bodies shine bright with their colors and elements as they rush towards the ReliCreature. Their body paint glows as their spirits envelop their body and they hit Dokuga’an, sending him flying towards the wall.]

Red: Don’t worry, I will break you out.

Red: TalonSword, Dart Mode!

[Red raises the base of his sword to his mouth and shoots spirit darts at the doors hinges. The hinges shatter, and Red turns to his friends inside.]

Red: Tassis, Cala! I need you to focus on your spirits. Channel it through your body, let the energy course through your entire being. Focus, and bust your way out of this room!

Tassis: Cala… we got to do this….

Cala: Focus… on our spirits...

Red: I will use my spirit to draw the poison into the TalonSword. Use that time to escape!

Both: Shamanic Transcendance!

MysticLens: ForestShaman! WindShaman!

[Green and Pink spirits wrap around their bodies and transform them into Shaman! Both pull their MysticLens levers several times. The Lens shouts: ForestBody! WindBody! Spirit Channeling! Their bodies shine with their spirit light, and they roar as they both run towards the door and crash it open!]

[The door shatters, and the poison begins to flow outside. Red stands and sucks the poison into the TalonSword. His body glows a fiery red, and he changes the poison into a single dart. Red turns around, and shoots the dart right at Dokuga’an!]

Dokuga’an: Agh!

Red: How does it feel to get hit with your own poison?

Dokuga’an: You… Regret… This…

Green: Not if we have anything to say about it!

[Green and Pink jump up and slash Dokugaan back with their weapons. He falls and rolls back, but has been weakened by his own poison and can barely stand.]

Blue: Tassis, Cala! Youre alright!

Yellow: Cala, I’m so glad you made it!

Pink: Were shaman aren’t we? Were survivors!

Green: It was thanks to Alaric that we were able to channel our spirits like that.

Red: I had nothing to do with it. You used your own power, and were able to become stronger because of it.

Green: I guess it’s our turn to take the lead on this one, right Cala?

Cala: I’ve been waiting all day for this!

Both: Let’s charge him!

[Green draws out his ViperWhip and wraps Dokuga’an up in it. Cala takes out her FrillShield and slashes at him directly several times. Green throws him back, then they both engage him in close combat as Dokuga’an is pushed back.]

Yellow: Should we do something?

Blue: I think we've done enough.

Red: They got it all under control.

[Green and Pink slide their MystiClaws into their weapons as they begin to shout: SwiftWhip! VenomLash! CircularShield! FlyingShrill! Greens whip glows and Pinks shield glows as well. Green slashes his whip and it strikes Dokuga’an in the form of a cobra. Pink throws her shield as a frisbee and it strikes him as a biting lizard. Dokuga’an falls down and explodes.]

Green: Woah! We did it!

Cala: I feel hyper!

[A portal opens in the ground and the earth begins to shake as two more buildings turn to dust. The shaman stare in astonishment as Olmec, the stone giant rises from the ground and faces the shaman.]

Blue: That’s a…

Yellow: It must be.

Pink: But it can’t be.

Green: Yet it is…

Red: ... an Ancient.

Olmec: ... Hm…

[Olmec steps towards the fallen Dokuga’an, and rests his hand on his chest. Energy goes into his body as he is revived and becomes a giant.]

Red: That was… Shamanic Power…

Green: No time to daydream, we gotta creature to fight.

All: SpiritShourai!

MysticLens: SpiritShourai! FlameFalcon! AquaStallion! LandPanther! ForestViper! WindLizard!

All: Shamanic Gattai! Shaman-Oh! Light the Way!

[Dokuga’an runs at the shaman and shoots a stream of poison gas at them. Shaman-Oh stumbles back, and jumps to the side to escape the poison. The poison hits some buildings melting them like acid.]

Yellow: Woah! He isn’t fooling around!

Red: We gotta counter that poison.

Blue: Any ideas?

Green: Look out!

[Dokuga’an hits them with a stream of poison gas right in the face! The gas flows into the cockpit, and the shaman feel weakened.]

Yellow: I feel… so… weak.

Blue: Can’t… breathe…

Pink: Let’s do...what Alaric did…

Green: Shoot it out!

Green and Pink: LizardArm!

[LizardArms shield begins to spin, and it vacuums the gas out of the cockpit! The shaman then point the arm at Dokuga’an and shoot a vortex of poison gas directly at him! The gas hits, and he falls back again.]

Dokuga’an: Not… again…

All: Let’s end this! Shaman-Oh! ShamanicHeart!

[The limbs of Shaman-Oh shine bright with various colors. The arms aim at Dokuga’an, and they fire intense Shamanic Power towards him. The shot hits, and Dokuga’an dies in an explosion.]

Blue: Another one bites the dust.

Yellow: You could say that again.

Pink: Job well done, yeah Alaric?

[Red stares at the ground below where Olmec is staring intently back at him. Olmec slowly turns around and vanishes into the ground. Red stares blankly at where he once stood, and he cannot shake the feeling of a familiar presence coming from within his own spirit.]
Red: He is different… I need to find out why…

[Scene switches back to the tree in the forest, where Spirit receives a strange vision. The vision is of a dark, misty plain and there is a full moon. In the distance, the shadow of a raven flies down and turns into the figure of a man concealed in the shadows.]

Spirit: Agh! It can’t be… He’s back!

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Tengu: Olmec has been drawn to the Surface World. He is fighting a shaman now.

Osiris: No no no no NO! Not now!

…

Red: I know you. I can see it in your soul. You are not one of them. Who are you?!

Olmec: ...Hggg…

…

Blue: Don’t worry Alaric. We'll take this guy!

Red: No stay back! Don’t hurt him!

…

???: So this is something you value?

Journals / Personal
[The scene begins in the forest tree, where the Mysticjars reconvene after a day of hard fighting.]

Kanro: Aaah! I'm so tired!

Sinai: Tell me about it.

Tassis: It's like ReliCreature after ReliCreature are trying to push us back.

Cala: And also the Fated Hourglass hasn't stopped either. What can we do?

Alaric: I sensed something…

Kanro: What did you sense?

Alaric: Back there… when that Ancient general appeared… He used Shamanic Power to revive his ReliCreature!

Sinai: Are you sure?

Alaric: Yes. It was shamanism very similar to my own… just… more powerful.

Tassis: Well, what do you think it means?

Alaric: It might have something to do with my student.

All: Student?!

Alaric: Why so surprised?

Cala: We haven't seen you for ten years. Its very strange to hear you became a teacher.

Alaric: Well… It's not like he gave me a choice.

All: He?!

Alaric: What is it this time?

Sinai: Oh nothing. Continue.

Alaric: Well, I was meditating within the Ancient Forest when suddenly…

[Scene becomes a flashback to Alaric meditating then having a dark shadow jump from behind him and snatch something from him.]

Alaric: So what should I call you? Thief.

???: What?

Alaric: There is nothing of value in there. Just a few rocks.

[The thief looked inside the bag only to find a few colorful rocks. He angrily threw it at the ground and the rocks spilled over the earth. Alaric rose and picked them up, and put them back in the bag.]

Alaric: You aren't very focused aren't you?

???: What's that supposed to mean?

Alaric: You see worthless rocks. I see endless value.

???: When you spend a lot of time lost value becomes insignificant in order to survive.

Alaric: I see. But someday, these stones will become MystiClaws. I will give them to my friends so we can forge a new Golden Age.

???: MystiClaws?

Alaric: The treasures through which all spiritual life flows. The hidden value that lies within. That is a MystiClaw. You seem very interested for a thief.

???: I do have a name.

Alaric: Mind telling me?

???: Darach. My name is Darach.

Alaric: Well Darach, how long have you been in this forest?

Darach: Long enough. This is the only world I've known.

Alaric: You have potential to be a great shaman someday. Maybe if the world someday grows to accept it, even you can change.

Darach: Change is too late for someone like me.

Alaric: Maybe not. I can see your spirit. The raven. Very rare. Come on. Let's go.

Darach: Where are you going?

Alaric: No. Where are we going. Your training begins now.

[Flashback ends and returns to current time.]

Alaric: And that's how it started.

Wind: Guys! It's a general!

All: What?! A general?!

Alaric: So he's back for more. Time to settle this. Let's go.

[The Mysticjars arrive to a cataclysmic scene. Buildings everywhere crumble to dust and the earth shakes with immense force. Standing alone at the center of the chaos, is Olmec.]

Kanro: Who are you?

Olmec: …

Sinai: Silence, huh. I’ll show…

[Alaric rushes past his team and runs directly at Olmec! “Shamanic Transcendance!” he shouts as his spirit wraps around his body and his mask completes his face. He draws out his TalonSword and slashes at him. Olmec looks up and blocks with his arm. Red leans in close to him.]

Red: I know you. You’re different from the others. I can sense it in your spirit. Who are you?!

Olmec: ...Hgggha!

[Olmec pushes him back and hits him in the chest. Red flies back and rolls on the ground while the rest of his team runs up to fight him.]

Kanro: Don’t worry Alaric, well take care of him. Shamanic Transcendance!

[The four other shaman transform and run at Olmec with their weapons drawn.]

Red: No! Don’t hurt him!

[The four shaman begin their attack. They slash at Olmec but their weapons cant hurt him. They fall back and try again yet they still cannot scratch him. Olmec pushes the shaman back, and his eyes glow red as magma shoots from the earth and hits the shaman directly.]

Red: You can’t hurt him. He is a stone golem.

Blue: Now you tell us.

Yellow: Can’t fall back now.

Green: Go again.

Olmec: …

[The shaman run at him once again but Olmec shoots a stream of fire from his hands that incase them in a vortex. The shaman are overwhelmed by the fire, and are knocked out of their transformation! Olmec walks past them and directly up to Alaric. Olmec grabs him and jumps far away from their current location.]

Kanro: Alaric!

Sinai: This isn’t good. We gotta get him back.

Cala: Me and Tassis will search the forest, you guys search the cliffs.

Tassis: Let’s go!

[Deep in a rock canyon Alaric awakens to see Olmec staring down at him. Alaric struggles to stand up, and he faces Olmec directly.]

Alaric: I have seen that power before. Magma Shamanism. Its an ancient power I didn’t think I would see again.

Olmec: …

Alaric: ...Father… I know it’s you.

Olmec: …

Alaric: But how?

[Olmec grabs Alaric and puts his head against his forehead. Alaric suddenly sees a vision of his own home and his family in front of him.]

Dad: Alaric.

Alaric: Father! I miss you so much!

Dad: If you are hearing this, you must be missing me very much. That and the Ancients have revived once again.

Alaric: Father… I don’t understand.

Dad: When the Ancients were predicted to be revived I knew I needed to protect you. I sacrificed my own body in order to carry my spirit inside you.

Alaric: Inside… me?

Dad: But something went wrong. As soon as I became a spirit, I was bound by the laws of the Spirit World and I was sent to the Abyss Cave.

Alaric: To the Abyss?!

Dad: Tartarus was strong. Too strong. He imprisoned my spirit inside a Golem body so that I could do his bidding. I didn’t resist in the hopes that it would lead me to you in the future.

Alaric: But… Olmec is…

Dad: But as time went on my spirit became weaker, and I began to forget how to talk. I became more of a slave of Tartarus than I wanted to be. Then… the Ancients revived.

Alaric: So that’s it.

Dad: I became a pawn of Osiris. But I knew if I could get close enough to you to communicate, then I could ask you a favor.

Alaric: A favor?

Dad: I need you to destroy this body.

Alaric: No! I can’t do that!

Dad: I know you must be saying: “No! I can’t do that!”, but please understand. If you destroy this body, my soul will remain in my Death Mask. If you wear it, you can accept my Ancestor Power.

Alaric: I’ll do it. I’ll do it for you. To set you free.

[Alaric was set free of the mind link. Olmec stood looking at him as the other four shaman appeared behind him.]

Kanro: Alaric!

Sinai: We found him!

Tassis: And he’s with that Ancient.

Cala: Let’s get him.

[Alaric looked at Olmec as Olmec nodded approvingly towards him. Alaric looked back and gave him a small smile.]

Alaric: This is for my father.

Alaric: Shamanic Transcendance!

All: Shamanic Transcendance!

[The five shamans bodies are enveloped by their spirits, and their transformation completes as they stand in front of a towering Olmec. Olmec begins to walk towards the shaman as they draw their weapons.]

Red: Shaman of the Sun. MysticRed.

Blue: Shaman of the Deep. MysticBlue.

Yellow: Shaman of the Land. MysticYellow.

Green: Shaman of the Forest. MysticGreen.

Pink: Shaman of the Wind. MysticPink. Red: The Five Shaman that Transcend Time.

Red: Shaman Sentai.

All: Mysticjar.

Red: Ready? Let’s charge him.

Olmec: …

[The scene switches to Abyss Cave, where Tengu informs Osiris about Olmec.]

Tengu: Olmec has been drawn to the Surface World. He is currently fighting the shaman as we speak.

Osiris: What?

Tengu: He is fighting them alone.

Osiris: No no no no NO! Not now!

Tengu: It must be fated.

Osiris: No. Stop this. Stop this now!

Tengu: It is too late.

Osiris: Don’t tell me anything is too late, I have waited too long for this day to come!

Osiris: Free the chains. Hurry!

[Back on the Surface World, the shaman strike Olmec, but their attacks remain ineffective. The shaman retaliate, but to no avail. Olmec pushes them back and stomps the earth unleashing a crevice of magma that washes over the shaman!]

Blue: He is incredibly strong.

Yellow: Well, he is a general.

Green: How do we hit him?

Pink: He has to have some sort of weakness.

[Red looks at Olmecs body carefully. He then notices a small dent near his shoulder plate.]

Red: Guys, he may be tough, but we left a dent near his shoulder. Maybe if we focus our attacks there, we can make some damage.

Yellow: It’s worth a shot.

Green: Lets do it!

[The five shaman dash in separate directions and surround Olmec. Olmec stands strong, and flashes his eyes once again.]

Red: Now!

[The five shaman jump and dodge the attack as Blue and Green slide on the ground, Yellow and Pink jump towards the sky and so does Red. Olmec looks up but Blue and Green slash at his legs causing him to fall to his knees. Red, Yellow, and Pink flip over his head as their weapons strike his shoulder plate. Olmec seems wounded and he stumbles backward.]

Red: I’ll shoot as a distraction. You guys surround and strike again.

Olmec: …

[Red shoots spirit darts through his TalonSword and they hit Olmecs chest. The others jump again and simultaneously strike Olmecs shoulder plate. Olmec falls to his knees.]

Red: Let’s end this!

Blue: Insert your MystiClaws!

TalonSword: FlamingFeather!

HoofClaw: WildGallop!

PawGrasper: SlashImpact!

ViperWhip: VenomLash!

FrillShield: FlyingShrill!

[The five weapons glow with a powerful light. Olmec stands his ground and he shoots magma from his hands at the five shaman. The five jump into the air escaping the lava, and they slash their weapons towards Olmec.]

All: Island Mystics! Shamanic Finish!

[The weapon slashes combine to form a golden symbol. The symbol hits Olmec directly and he is blown into the rock face behind him. Olmec tries to fight it, but the attack overpowers him and he disintegrates leaving behind a mask of his face.]

All: We did it!

Yellow: Ah! That was a hard one!

Green: It sure took a lot out of me.

Pink: What is that?

[Cala pointed at the mask on the ground. Alaric walked over to it and stared at it intently on the ground. As Alaric bent down to pick it up, a dark shadow flew past him and stole the mask! The shadow manifested into a man standing at the top of the rock face looking at the mask with his back turned to the shaman.]

???: So, is this something you value?

Red: Give that back. It doesn’t belong to you.

???: Oh and it does to you? Law of the Jungle my friend. Only the fittest will survive.

Blue: Your morals are twisted. Return the mask, you don’t know its power.

???: Power huh? Just what I wanted.

Red: That voice… it couldn’t be…

???: But it can… Master.

[The thief turns to face the shaman and it reveals a black suit with silver markings. His helmet has a bird beak shaped mask and his helmet morphs into the shape of a black fedora. His belt hilt reveals a quiver full of arrows, and strapped to his back is a bow.]

Red: Darach.

Darach: Yes Master. I have become a shaman just as you hoped me to be.

Red: No. Not like I hoped you to be.

Darach: It has been fun meeting up with you Master, but I go by MysticDusk now.

Red: MysticDusk… it suits you and your ways.

Darach: Now don’t say it like that Master. I learned everything I know thanks to you.

Red: If you owe me so much then return that Death Mask. It means a lot to me. Return it, or I shall take it through force.

Darach: I would like to see you try, Master.

[The two stand facing each other as the sun sets behind them. They both stare intently at each other. Ten years have passed since the Master saw his student. What happened to Darach in the forest? Who will win this fight? Find out next time, when Shaman Sentai Mysticjar, returns!]

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Dusk: Master, you have become stronger.

Red: I thought you died back then. How did you survive?

…

Tengu: Osiris… Olmec is…

Osiris: Dead? Is he not?

…

Spirit: I can see it now! The long lost Kaiten MystiClaw!

Sinai: Where is it now? We need it to save Alaric!

…

Dusk: Master, prove to me again why you are the Master.

Red: I’ll show you a lot more than just that. For my friends… for my father… Mask… KAITEN!

[The episode continues where we left off last. Alaric and Darach are both facing each other after ten long years of separation. What happened to Darach? How is he back now? How will this fight end? Let’s settle this now!]

Red: (To the others) You guys get out of here.

Blue: We are a team, Alaric. We don’t leave each other.

Yellow: Unless it's to the bathroom. That would just be embarrassing.

Red: There is no time. Darach is stronger than he was before. Whatever happened in those ten years his spirit has advanced because of it.

Green: Then this is the perfect time to fight alongside you!

Pink: Together we can defeat him. We can do anything when we combine our powers!

Red: I cannot lose you guys again!

Blue: What do you mean… again?

Dusk: I have had enough of this.

[Dusk pulls out his bow from behind his back and draws back the arc forming a spirit arrow. He points it at the shaman and shoots it towards them!]

Red: Look out!

[Red runs with extreme speed and catches the arrow in his hands inches away from Blue’s face. He throws it towards the ground, and talks into his MysticLens.]

Red: Spirit, get them out of here!

[The wind suddenly picks up and wraps the shaman in a cyclone that teleports them back to the Ancient Forest. Red stands looking at Dusk as he jumps off the cliff onto the ground in front of him.]

Dusk: Distraction averted. How long have you been hiding the truth from your friends?

Red: Long enough. But unlike you, they can handle it.

Dusk: Oooh! Such harsh words coming from a dissenter.

Red: I am not a dissenter. A part of me always knew you would come back.

Dusk: And when I did, what part of you expected this.

Red: None of it. Thats why I need to teach you my final lesson.

Dusk: And what might that be?

Red: How to release your fear.

[Red and Dusk run at each other flying at extremely fast speeds. They both come in contact with each other, and dash into the woods flying faster and faster through the trees and the bushes. Eventually the two reach a clearing in the darkness of the forest and they stop running there. Both of them look at their surroundings, and Alaric suddenly comes to a realization.]

Red: This is…

Dusk: Indeed. Welcome back Master… to the Spirit Forest!

[The scene zooms out to show a giant forest of dark and twisted trees in a spiraling motion surrounding both shaman. Almost like a maze, the forest is endless as well as it is ruthless, unless you have the ability to escape it.]

Red: Why have you brought me here?

Dusk: To see how strong we have gotten. Both in mind, and in spirit.

Red: I thought you died back then. How did you survive?

Dusk: I met some friends who taught me how to value instinct over patience!

[Dusk lunges at Alaric with his bow and slashes at him. Red dodges the attack and blocks several others. He draws out his TalonSword, but Dusk kicks it away, and he slashes him repeatedly with his bow. Red stumbles back as Dusk pulls back another spirit arrow and shoots it at Red. The arrow hits his chest, and sends him flying back crashing through some trees. Dusk scoffs and walks over to where he sent Alaric flying. A small spark of light grows stronger in the distance as Red shoots past Dusk like a fireball covered in flames. Red lands and grabs his TalonSword and shoots his darts at Dusk. Dusk reflects them away as both warriors clash weapons once again.]

Dusk: I spent over twenty years in the darkness of this forest for what?! Waiting for you to save me?!

[Dusk kicks Red onto the ground as he paces angrily towards him.]

Dusk: All those nights shrouded in darkness… Did you feel nothing?!

[Dusk slashes at Red sending him rolling back on the ground again.]

Dusk: My only companions were the ravens. They taught me instinct. They taught me how to survive! And every night as I wandered the darkness, I only grew in power and strength!

[Dusk slashes at Red again only for him to block it with his TalonSword so it wouldn’t slash him again.]

Red: The darkness… how did it feel?

Dusk: What?

Red: I said the darkness. How did it feel?

Dusk: Feel? I’ll show you how it made me feel!

[Dusk pushed Red back at shot several spirit arrows at him that hit him in his chest. Red stumbles back but still stands up. He runs at Dusk, and grabs him and rams him into a tree.]

Red: The ravens. Did you forget what else they taught you?

Dusk: They taught me how to survive. They showed me how to seek out the light when I couldn’t see any. It was only when i found one big enough, I was able to escape.

Red: Don’t you see Darach? You did it!

Dusk: What?

Red: You have seen the deepest of darkness. Your absolute worst fear. And you survived through it all.

Dusk: You think this is a game? I was trapped in there for years!

Red: The only thing that was trapping you Darach, was yourself.

Dusk: I cannot follow.

Red: The Spirit Forest is the forest of illusions. When we set out to explore it that day, I had shown you everything I had to show. The darkness, that was your final trial.

Dusk: But the ravens…

Red: When a shaman’s emotions lay astray, that is when their spirit guide comes to help them. The ravens saved you.

Dusk: This is unforgivable! To show yourself to me now, after years of me not knowing!

Red: It was never for me to show you. It was for you alone to discover.

Dusk: Nothing you say makes sense!

[Darach threw Red across the clearing. Red lands on his back, but stands up yet again. He cancels his transformation as wisps dissipate his body suit.]

[Back at the Ancient Forest, Spirit senses a strong energy resonating with a MystiClaw.]

Spirit: I can see it now! The long lost Kaiten MystiClaw!

Kanro: Wind! Why did you drag us out?!

Wind: It was the Master’s orders.

Sinai: Kanro, we need that MystiClaw. It will probably be the only way to save Alaric!

Tassis: What did Alaric mean when he said… lose us again?

Cala: Maybe he missed us when he was training?

Tassis: Maybe this new MystiClaw can give us some answers. Where is it?

Spirit: Not where is it, but when is it?

Sinai: When?

Spirit: Thanks to your previous battles and past struggles the four of you have managed to reach a new level of Shamanic Power.

Kanro: You mean, surpassing ourselves?

Spirit: Exactly. When Kanro defeated Obake, when Sinai defeated Mehen, and when Tassis and Cala defeated Dokuga’an together, it lead your spirits to new growth. You are now ready to synchronize your shamanism.

Tassis: Synchronize our shamanism?

Cala: Sounds cool!

Sinai: Tell us what we need to do.

[Spirit teleports an old sack full of small gems in front of the four shaman. Five unique gems spill out, having colors that shine with greater splendor than their own MystiClaws.]

Spirit: These are Spirit Stones. They were once the greatest treasure of the forest village centuries ago. They each resonate with a sacred animal.

Sinai: A sacred animal?

Spirit: Yes. You have all mastered the art of repeating what has just been said. Sacred animals have existed throughout various civilizations across time: Mesopotamia, Atlantis, the Mayans, and so much more! Using your shamanism, you can forge these five stones into a single MystiClaw!

Kanro: What makes you think we can do it?

Spirit: You are the five shaman that transcend time! Nothing can ever break your bond.

Sinai: Sheesh. Talk about using our catchphrase against us.

Tassis: We might as well. Alaric needs it now more than ever.

Cala: We have to do it. We will do it for Alaric.

[One by one, each shaman put their hands in the center over the Spirit Stones.]

Kanro: For Alaric.

Sinai: For Alaric.

Tassis: For Alaric.

Cala: For Alaric.

[The four shaman’s bodies begin to glow with mystical energy and light. The four shaman close their eyes and focus as their combined energy begins to wash over the five gems. The shaman began to chant as animal spirits emanate from each gem and run around the room! The shaman remain focused as the animal shadows danced on the walls, and then combined in a single light source. Drums began to beat, and a warm fire lit up the walls, the torches shone brighter and brighter and then a blast of fiery light engulfed the room and left animal cave paintings imprinted on the walls!]

[The shaman open their hands and open their eyes as in their place lies a single MystiClaw. The Kaiten MystiClaw has now been forged! What power could the shaman harness from its core?]

Spirit: This moment… is my favorite moment in human history.

Kanro: Sinai, we need to get this to Alaric.

Sinai: Guys, hurry, let’s go find him!

Wind: I am afraid he is trapped in the Spirit Forest.

Tassis: The Spirit Forest?

Spirit: A maze designed to house wandering spirits. I am amazed that he managed to get in. Only people with exceedingly high levels of Shamanic Power can survive.

Sinai: Then we don’t have another choice.

Cala: Let’s go.

[The scene switches back to the Spirit Forest, where Alaric stands in front of MysticDusk. A lake stands between the two at opposite ends of the clearing.]

Alaric: Darach! Have you forgotten the most important lesson of all?

Dusk: And what lesson is that?

Alaric: Letting go of your fear.

Dusk: My fear is gone.

Alaric: You are such a prisoner of your own fear that you lead yourself to think you are not. The darkness is gone. You are free now.

Dusk: I don’t know what to believe anymore. The only truth I seek now, is who stands at the top now?!

Alaric: I will not fight you if it’s to prove a point.

Dusk: Then you will fight me in order to survive!

[Dusk shrouds himself in dark light as a raven avatar covers his body. He flies extremely fast at Alaric as he stands there and faces his opponent still refusing to transform. Just at that moment, Kanro and the others sense his spirit, and Kanro shoots the Kaiten MystiClaw at Alaric’s direction! Alaric opens his eyes, catches it, and presses the top of the Kaiten MystiClaw just as Dusk hits him! The space is covered in dust and the shaman cannot see what happened.]

MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! The Bull of Minos! PyroBull!

[In the cloud of dust you can see a figure with tall horns and a strong stance. The dust dispels to reveal a transformed shaman with two long horns coming out the sides of his helmet. His face mask has changed to that of a bull’s face. His boots have become hooves, and he stands up strong facing a fallen Darach.]

Kanro: A..Alaric?

Sinai: Oh yeah! The Bull of Minos!

Tassis: Crimson colored. Nice!

Cala: Oh I need my turn!

Crimson: The Shaman of Minos! MysticCrimson!

Dusk: A... bull? How… tacky.

Crimson: The strength of my friends is anything but tacky!

[Crimson kicks Dusk back, but Dusk strides on the sky and flies at him once again. Crimson snorts and grabs Dusk in his flight.]

Dusk: That’s… impossible!

Crimson: Haven’t you heard? Five is better than one.

Dusk: I have been alone for years!

Crimson: Darach! Me and my friends will set you free.

Dusk: Try me.

[Dusk slashes at Crimson with his bow but Crimson stands unscathed. Dusk flies back at shoots multiple spirit arrows at him as Crimson blocks them all. Crimson then rushes at the speed of a bull at Dusk and rams right into him! The attack sends Dusk flying back, yet he stands up again.]

Dusk: Futile.

Crimson: We’ll see about that.

MysticLens: Spirit of Minos! The Bull of Tauros!

Dusk: Not… good.

[Crimson’s body glows a bright red crimson as a bull spirit materializes on top of him as he crouches down like a bull. Crimson begins to run at full speed towards Darach, who instead shoots a trick arrow at the ground in front of him as he vanishes into a stream of smoke!]

Crimson: (Snorts).

Cala: Yeah!

Sinai: That was amazing!

Kanro: You sure showed him!

Tassis: Sent him flying!

Crimson: You guys… made this?

Kanro: We did it together.

Sinai: We can’t lose our best friend.

Tassis: At least not to a psychopath ex-student of yours!

Cala: We are the five shaman that transcend time, remember?

Crimson: Haha! You guys are the best!

[Alaric cancels his transformation as all the shaman run towards each other for a massive hug. While the five are together celebrating, a shady Darach stands atop a faraway cliff looking down at them as he cancels his transformation as well.]

Darach: Could Master be right? Am I still a captive of the darkness?

[Darach looks again at the five shaman together then turns around and walks silently away.]

Sinai: Wait, Alaric. Did you get back Olmec’s Death Mask?

[Silence.]

Alaric: Oh noooo!

All: What?!

Alaric: But he was… and then I was… and then a bull… and then…

Kanro: I thought that was the point of all this.

Tassis: We’ll get him next time.

Cala: If anything, we got a new power today!

Alaric: Oh yeah, that too!

Cala: Hi five! Yeah!

[Meanwhile, in the Abyss Cave…]

Icarus: (To himself) Ooooh… Olmec is dead, and the shaman took the mask… what if I’m next to go?! Ooooh, no no no… we can’t have that… I am too crazy to die now… I know!

[Icarus flies over to a diagram on the cave wall. The diagram indicates a special anatomical structure of a human body as well as the pressure points on it.]

Icarus: A little voodoo never hurt anyone now did it?.... If the shaman like their shamanism… then say hello to the Ancient Witch Doctor! Now my precious little Pink… this won’t hurt a bit! Hahaha! Haaaaaaa!

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Cala: Woah! I can’t seem to control my own body!

…

Medusa: Come here my sweet, all it takes is a look.

Kanro: Cala! Don’t look into her eyes!

…

Icarus: Peek a boo! Yellow-one! I see you!

Sinai: My body… it can’t move!

…

Green: Cala! You got to use the Kaiten MystiClaw!

Pink: Well… here it goes. Mask… Kaiten!

…

Dusk: Noir Gattai! DuskDaiOh!

## Episode 8- Moonlit Raven

by SpecialForm12, Apr 3, 2016, 4:19:58 PM
Journals / Personal
[It is night, and the moon is full in the sky. We see an empty street in the middle of the city and two people slowly walk on opposite ends of the street and they cross each other. The two men keep walking as if nothing has happened, but the man did not notice the other had stolen his wallet.]

Darach: They just don’t understand, now do they? In this big of a city what makes a survivor is their instincts. And if time really has changed the value of things… then I suppose I should become suitable to its wealth.

[Darach silently walks away in the middle of the night as the wind blows his black trenchcoat flowing behind him.]

[The scene switches to the morning where the shaman have all just woken up and are ready to have breakfast. Everyone sits around the table ready to see what sort of food Kanro and Cala bring from the new world.]

Sinai: Hey, I just noticed something.

Tassis: What is it, Sinai?

Sinai: We don’t have the money of this time.

Alaric: Ooooh. I can see how that could be a problem.

Tassis: Maybe we should do something?

All: …

All: Nah!

Sinai: Hey Alaric, you’re smart, where do people get their money from?

Alaric: Well, according to an old fable I overheard, people say that money grows on the trees.

Tassis: The trees?!

Alaric: I don’t know. Humans are weird like that.

Sinai: Spirit, you’re a tree. How come you don’t have any money?

Spirit: I did once. But a man with an orange face and ugly hair took it all to build a business. I wonder how he turned out?

Alaric: I guess we will never know.

Tassis: It’s a shame really. I’m going into town to search for the others see what’s going on.

Sinai: Alright. Good luck!

[Scene focuses on Kanro and Cala who are coming home again after getting food.]

Kanro: Was that really necessary, Cala?

Cala: What was?

Kanro: Giving that man your shoe.

Cala: Well how else do you suppose we compensate the man for the food?

Kanro: Maybe by using all those coupons we found on the floor.

Cala: Oh you and your coupons, Kanro. It’s thanks to me that we were able to actually get food.

Kanro: At least I’m not the one without a shoe.

[Suddenly a bunch of random Willwhisps appear and surround the two shaman. The shaman are both surprised but they stand their ground. The Willwhisps come and attack the shaman as Tassis walks past and sees it happening.]

Tassis: Hey guys, I was just wondering.. Hey! Shamanic Transcendance!

MysticLens: ForestShaman!

Green: Get your hands off my food!

Kanro and Cala: Hey, thanks.

Green: ViperWhip!

[Green pulls out his ViperWhip and slashes at all of the Willwhisps. Green sideflips in the air as they nearly spew him with fire. He spins and then his whip extends and defeats all of the Willwhisps.]

Green: no idea why that happened there.

Kanro: Neither do we.

Cala: Why all the sudden attacks? And why us?

Green: Well, when you think about it… we have destroyed one of their generals.

Kanro: Oh yeah, fair point.

Green: Hi five to that, yeah!

[The scene quickly switches to the Abyss Cave where Osiris just observed the spectacle unfolded.]

Osiris: Why why why why WHY?! Why do they always need to get in my way and ruin everything?! I am one general down, and Kajura is mere weeks from reviving!

Tengu: I told you we needed to take these shaman seriously. You have underestimated their power.

Osiris: Never quote me! The important thing now is to find a way to defeat them.

Icarus: No need Osiris. I have created something really good! I took a part of the pink shaman’s energy… remember the one I used for my wings? And I turned it into this small voodoo doll! With this, we will now be able to control all of her actions!

Osiris: Excellent Icarus. I never expected this of you.

Icarus: I will send Medusa to take care of the others. Medusa!

Medusa: Your wish is my command, Master Icarus.

[The scene goes back to the shaman where they are all staring at the pile of dirty food in front of them.]

Alaric: Kanro…

Kanro: Yes?

Alaric: What is this?

Kanro: It’s… our food.

Alaric: I see… and what do you think food looks like?

Kanro: Definitely… not.. like… that.

Alaric: Right.

Cala: But hey! At least we found a way to pay for it, yeah.

[All the shaman look at Cala with an irritated face that looks like its very hungry.]

Cala: Too soon?

[Wind suddenly flies into the room and shouts with sudden alarm.]

Wind: You guys! Its another ReliCreature! This one has snake hair!

Alaric: Snake hair… Medusa.

Tassis: You guys, we gotta find her before she causes any more damage.

All: Right.

[The five shaman rush to the city center where they see Medusa turning people into stone statues! The shaman arrive and Medusa turns to look at them but Alaric spreads his (transformed) spirit wings and covers their eyes.]

Red: Don’t look! If she makes eye contact with you, you get turned to stone. That or you get an unbearable rash, I always forget which monster it is...

Medusa: Enough!

[Medusa shoots her snake hair towards the spirit wings and they shatter. The five shaman fall onto the ground but still shielding their own eyes from the monster.]

Yellow: But how do we fight something we cannot see?

Green: Easy. Just follow your instincts.

[Medusa looks again but Green ducks down and slithers at Medusa and suddenly jumps and grabs at her face. Medusa stumbles backwards, but Green counters by tripping her and kicking her away in a circular motion.]

Medusa: But… how?!

Green: A snake for a snake, ain’t it?

Medusa: It will do you nothing!

[Medusa suddenly grabs Green in a chokehold and stares right into his helmet. Tassis tries to close his eyes, but it is too late. Tassis is suddenly petrified.]

Medusa: Annoying brat.

Yellow: Hey! Only I can call him that!

Red: Sinai! No!

[Yellow jumps up with her extended PawGrasper, and is about to throw it at Medusa when she looks up at her. Sinai falls to the ground, also petrified.]

Blue: Tassis… Sinai…

Medusa: I have a present for you pink shaman!

Pink: What?!

[Medusa shoots an assortment of invisible strings at Cala and they all enter her body. Cala suddenly moves around in a frantic way and can’t seem to control her movements.]

Red: Cala, this is no time to pee! Quit your dancing, we got a fight to win.

Pink: Alaric, we got a problem.

Red: And what’s that?

Pink: I peed twenty minutes ago.

Red: Oh no. Then that means...!

Medusa: Yes! I have control over Pink’s body now, and the only way to save her, is by defeating me.

Red: Bring it on!

[Red charges at Medusa facing down, but Pink steps in front of him and slashes him with ther FrillShield! Red falls back looking up at Pink.]

Red: Cala, what’s the big deal?

Pink: It wasn’t me! (She motions at Medusa holding the voodoo doll).

Red: Oh… right.

[Red goes again but as Pink slashes at him again, Red jumps up, flips over her head, and lands on the other side of her and continues to run at Medusa. Blue follows too, but Pink cuts him off and the two are stuck in combat. Red uses the shiny end of his TalonSword to reflect light at Medusa’s face. Medusa unleashes a blizzard of snakes at Red and he gets wrapped by them and thrown against multiple buildings.]

Red: This. (bang) Is. (bang) Not. (bang) Fun. (bang).

Blue: Tell me about it. I am fighting an over excited teenage girl in spandex, there’s no way I can win!

Pink: Sorry.

[Blue dodges her attacks several times and uses his HoofClaw to grab Pink’s FrillShield. He spins around and kicks her away, while twisting her weapon away from her hand. Pink jumps at him and tackles Blue and the two wrestle on the ground until Blue manages to break free. He backflips away, and points his hand at Pink. Pink looks at her chest to see she has a blue handprint on her. Blue pulls his MysticLens three times and the MysticLens shouts: “CavePrint! Kaboom!” The handprint symbol explodes and sends Pink flying back.]

Blue: Sorry, but it was getting annoying.

Pink: I get it.

[Blue runs up to the stone bodies of Tassis and Sinai.]

Blue: Alright you guys, c’mon, wake up! Shamanic Bodies, let’s go!

[Blue pulls his MysticLens three times as he rapidly begins to smack multiple areas of both statues leaving blue handprints covering it.]

Blue: Hope this works. Please survive!

MysticLens: CavePrint! Kaboom!

[The heat from the handprints managed to shatter the stone statues and freed the other shaman!]

Tassis: Woohoo! We’re free!

Sinai: Why do I feel violated?

Blue: Fight now. Talk later.

[Blue runs up to Red and continues to fight Medusa. Both Tassis and Sinai look at each other.]

Sinai: He couldn’t have. Couldn’t he?

Tassis: He’s not that kind of person.

Sinai: But I am sure he did it.

Tassis: Alright if it makes you feel better he did it on me too.

Sinai: The Caveprint technique? Wow. We’re better than this.

Tassis: I know, right.

[Medusa is overpowered by all the shaman that she falls back and pulls out the voodoo doll.]

Medusa: Stop right there! If you move any further I will make her hurt herself until she dies.

Blue: No! Wait! Don’t do it.

Yellow: No need to hurt her.

Red: Just calm down.

Green: Cala now! Use the Kaiten MystiClaw!

[Green throws the Kaiten MystiClaw through the air and Pink catches it. She uses all her power to fight against the voodoo influence and manages to insert the Kaiten MystiClaw into her MysticLens just as it begins to speak.]

Medusa: I won’t let you!

Blue: And we won’t let you!

[The shaman grab Medusa without looking at her and keep her from using the doll.]

Red: Cala, dig within yourself. Unlock your own past!

Blue: If its you, you can do it!

Yellow: We all believe in you, Cala!

Green: Break The Chain!

Pink: Aaaaah! Mask… Kaiten!

MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Peacock of Hera! VentusPeacock!

[Pink pulls of her face mask as another one replaces it. Her body becomes lighter as her body tatoos change into that of a bird-like pattern. Her helmet grows a feathered crest and her body shines with a bright purple light!]

Fuchsia: The Shaman of Hera! MysticFuchsia!

Green: That is soo cool!

Yellow: Wow! She really did it!

Blue: I knew she had it in her.

Red: I guess it’s now her turn to show off!

Fuchsia: Greek Power is a go!

Medusa: Color changing never accomplished anything!

Fuchsia: Then you clearly will be surprised!

[Medusa stares at her eyes directly as dark purple smoke creates a strange world surrounding the two. But no matter how much Medusa tries to petrify her, nothing seems to work! MysticFuchsia’s own face mask is a reflective surface, and Cala suddenly blinds Medusa with a dazzling display of light coming from her spirit tail feathers that form an arc around her body. Medusa’s snakes fly at her, but the light blows them all away.]

Fuchsia: I’m just getting started!

MysticLens: Spirit of Hera! The Peacock of Lira!

[The wind creates a vortex and Fuchsia is lifted into the air by her own funnel of air. Medusa is trapped in a cyclone at ground level, and Fuchsia pulls her hands together and seals the cyclone and Medusa is destroyed.]

[Back at Abyss Cave, Icarus spreads his wings and blows a gust of wind on Medusa’s dead body, growing her into a giant.]

Icarus: Don’t think you’ve won just yet!

[Medusa extends her snake hair and tries to destroy the shaman. The shaman dodge, and they roll back ready to summon their mecha.]

Red: Let’s go! Spirit Shourai!

MysticLens: Spirit Shourai! Fire Falcon! AquaStallion! LandPanther! ForestViper! WindLizard!

All: The Mecha That Transcends Time! Shaman-Oh! Light The Way!

Medusa: I have the height to turn the whole world to stone!

Red: We won’t let that happen! The world is in enough trouble as it is!

Blue: Don’t let her open her eyes!

[Shaman-Oh grabs Medusa and covers her eyes, but she wraps her snakes around Shaman-Oh and begin to constrict it. The shaman inside feel the pain of the constriction, and they don’t know for how long they can keep her eyes closed.]

Pink: It’s too much at once!

Green: We have to do something!

Yellow: If only.. My PantherArm… could land a hit… Almost there…

[Suddenly two dark purple energy shots shoot out of the sky and hit Medusa’s eyes! Medusa flails backwards shrieking in pain. The shaman look at the sky and see a lone black raven mecha that covers the sun. The raven flies down and transforms into a tall, towering mecha.]

Dusk: Noir Gattai! DuskDaiOh!

Blue: Is that?

Yellow: Could it be?

Green: But it is.

Pink: No way!

Red: Dusk has his own mecha.

[Dusk DaiOh runs at Medusa and slashes her with his wings. He flies up and grabs her in his talons, flies up and lets her fall towards the earth below!]

Yellow: What are you doing?!

Blue: The impact will destroy the city!

Dusk: I’m gonna break it before it hits the ground.

All: What?! Impossible!

Dusk: Dusk DaiOh! Wing Dive!

[Dusk DaiOh flies right through Medusa’s body destroying it before it hits the ground. Dusk DaiOh stands facing the shaman directly.]

Dusk: Impossible, you said?

Red: Darach, how did you do this?

Dusk: How I do everything now. Stealing.

Blue: Stealing will never get you anywhere.

Dusk: I beg to differ. Just look at Dusk DaiOh now.

Yellow: Why are you doing this?

Dusk: Doing what?

Green: Is stealing the only way you can face us?

Dusk: It’s called surviving. Times change shaman, and you are ones to be stuck in the past.

Pink: You’ll see. We will be the ones to show you the light!

Dusk: I await that time with open arms. We will meet again.

[Dusk DaiOh takes off into the sky leaving a jetstream in his wake. All the shaman look at each other and know what needs to be done.]

Red: Guys, if we’re gonna show Darach the light, then we need to start now.

Blue: Whether we like it or not, Darach means more to us than it does to this world.

Yellow: Like us he is also a stranger.

Green: We just have different ways of surviving.

Pink: Well guys, we got a tough job ahead of us!

All: Right!

[Shaman-Oh gazes at the sky where Dusk DaiOh used to be, and Alaric makes a silent resolution.]

Red: We will bring you back, Darach. That’s a promise.

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Cala: Let’s have a fun day today!

…

Kanro: How about we go here?

Sinai: Huh? Kanro, weren’t you just over there?

…

Tassis: Why are there three of me?

Cala: And five of me?!

…

Alaric: There are doubles of us everywhere, but… where is the ReliCreature?!

…

## Episode 9- The Impostors

Journals / Personal
[The shaman have gathered with Spirit so that they can discuss what to do in this world. The shaman have been asleep for a long time, and really want to learn more about the world around them.]

Cala: Let’s go someplace fun today!
Tassis: I’m game. Where should we go?
Cala: I say we should go to an amusement park! I heard they are great fun for the people now!
Kanro: Oh yeah, I read all about the amusement parks in the library I went to the other day.
Tassis: What did you find there?
Kanro: Oh not much. Mostly just pictures of people riding swirling machines, and throwing up afterwards. Maybe that’s not such a reliable book afterall…
Cala: By the way, has anyone seen Alaric and Sinai today?
Tassis: I haven’t seen them all day.
Kanro: I wonder where they could be?
Spirit: I sent them into the forest to examine something.
Kanro: Examine something? Like what?
Spirit: I sensed a strange presence in there earlier, but it did not seem evil… almost familiar even…
Kanro: Was it Darach again?
Spirit: I doubt he would spend so much time in the forest after what happened. My guess is something else.
Cala: Well, it’s nothing that Alaric and Sinai can’t handle. They are our strongest members.
Kanro: Wait, but what about me…
Cala: Come on guys, let’s go have fun!
Kanro: Fine.

[The scene switches to the forest, where Alaric and Sinai are looking at some markings on a tree.]

Sinai: What do you think it is?
Alaric: I’m not sure. I haven’t seen this kind of writing before.
Sinai: What about this, here, on the ground?
Alaric: It looks… withered… almost…
Sinai: What do you think it means?
Alaric: I don’t know, but whatever it is, it’s trying to tell us something. Something tells me that whoever wrote this message has been here a long time.
Sinai: Well, if it’s nothing that we should be worried about right now, then why don’t we join the others? We’re going to an amusement park… whatever that is.
Alaric: You go on ahead, there is something I wanna check out first.
Sinai: Alright, but if you need any muscle, you know who to call.
Alaric: Right. I have Kanro on speed dial.
Sinai: That’s not what I meant.
Alaric: I know it wasn’t. Just go and have fun, I’ll catch up with you guys later.
Sinai: Okay, seeya!

[Sinai pushes her foot off the trunk of a tree and she jumps from tree to tree off into the distance. Alaric turns back to the tree and runs his hands across the markings, hoping to make sense of what they could mean.]

Alaric: What are you?

[Suddenly, a gust of wind knocks Alaric into a tree. When he comes to, a teenage boy wrapped in black clothing and robes is standing over him. Alaric rises to his feet to see him more clearly.]

Alaric: Hello… what is your name?
Boy: …

[The young boy does not speak, instead, he points a finger towards the tree, directly at the strange markings.]

Alaric: Ma asmk?
Boy: … أنوبيس

[Alaric rises to his feet quickly as if in astonishment. He shivers, and he slowly backs away from the boy. The boy keeps staring at him, until Alaric loses sight of the boy. He collapses on the ground, afraid.]

Alaric: No… it can’t be…

[The scene switches to the amusement park, where the four shaman are walking around and enjoying themselves. Darach sits on a tree overlooking the amusement park.]

Darach: I can’t see it. What do these people find amusing here? Simply no value left… Hmm?

[Darach notices the four shaman are at the amusement park and leans in for a closer look.]

Cala: Woah! That spinning machine really made me feel… uh oh…
Sinai: What is it?
Cala: Something that isn’t magic is about to exit my body and I don’t think you’re gonna like it.
Kanro: Wait… I read about this…
Sinai: NO TIME!

[Sinai grabs Cala off her feet and rushes her towards the nearest bathroom. Kanro and Tassis look at each other.]

Kanro and Tassis: Huh. Girls.
Kanro: What are you gonna do?
Tassis: I don’t know.
Kanro: I mean I was just trying to help.
Tassis: I know, I know.

[Suddenly, Sinai walks right past them.]

Kanro: Wait… Sinai? But… she was just there?
Tassis: Wait… why is Cala standing in line?
Kanro: And how did you get up there?!

[Kanro points at the top of the roller coaster tracks where Tassis stands there with his left hand extended towards the incoming car!]

Tassis: Oh no… whoever that is, he is gonna blast that car into oblivion!
Kanro: Let’s go!
Both: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: AquaShaman! ForestShaman!

[Tassis uses his ViperWhip to catapult himself to the top of the tracks and tackles Tassis just as the blast nearly misses the car! But as soon as Green hits the ground, his doppelganger is gone!]

Green: Where in the world did he?
Blue: Watch out!

[Blue blocks some incoming blasts from inside the House of Mirrors. Blue runs directly inside, and makes sure everyone is out as he enters. The room is dark, and the mirrors around him reflect images all around him.]

Blue: I hate fun houses…

[Suddenly, a mirror image of Kanro appears and grabs him from behind! Blue struggles to break free, but Kanro slowly drags him into the mirror!]

Blue: I hate to do this to myself, but…

[Blue smashes the mirror behind him with his HoofClaw. The vision behind him disappears as he hears a mysterious laugh echo throughout the room.]

Blue: Where is this ReliCreature?

[Blue exits the back entrance of the House of Mirrors and finds himself face to face with Sinai!]

Blue: Oh Sinai, thank goodness you’re safe. Listen, there are some impostors going around here pretending to be us and you’re not the real Sinai aren’t you?

[Sinai grabs Blue and throws him against the wall behind her. Blue stands again a little shocked from the blow.]

Kanro: Okay, I take back what I said… you are pretty strong.

[Sinai runs at Blue.]

[The scene switches to the forest, where Alaric is still recovering from what he saw.]

MysticLens: Alaric! Can you hear me? The others are in danger. Don’t look into any mirrors!
Alaric: I’m… I’m okay Spirit…. I’m on my way.

[As Alaric slowly walks out of the forest, the teenage boy stares at him from a distance with a sad look on his face.]

[The scene switches to the amusement park, where Sinai and Cala have just exited the bathroom.]

Sinai: See, when you let it go, it’s not so bad anymore?
Cala: You’re… a good friend.

[Kanro and Tassis appear in front of them. Sinai and Cala come up to them to assure them that everything’s fine. But as Sinai takes a closer look in Tassis’ eye, she finds it is pitch black.]

Sinai: Cala… those are not our friends.
Cala: What do you mean? I know Tassis when I see him, and Tassis would never do anything to hurt me…
Sinai: Get down!

[Tassis nearly takes Cala’s head off with his ViperWhip, as two spirit arrows block the attack from hitting. Darach jumps down from his perch on top of a rooftop and lands in front of Sinai and Cala.]

Sinai: Darach! What are you doing here?
Darach: Believe me, there are worse places I could be right now. But this is different. I don’t think this is a ReliCreature’s doing.
Sinai: What do you mean?

[Suddenly, a piercing scream rings throughout the now empty amusement park.]

Darach: It’s no longer safe here. Follow me.

[Darach leads the others to the inside of the cotton candy stand.]

Sinai: Why are we here?
Darach: It’s a proven fact, that ghosts don’t like sweet things.
Cala: Ghosts?!
Darach: It figures none of you know this. But when I was alone in the forest, I saw frightening things.
Cala: Like what things?
Darach: There are creatures, that are not ReliCreatures, that inhabit the deep forests. They follow no rule, they obey no law. They live to feed. And now, they have come here.
Sinai: But why help us? I know you would be among the first to see us defeated.
Darach: You have a point there. I want to see you defeated, not dead.
Cala: Dead?!
Darach: I will help you out just this once. Seeing as to how we can no longer escape this place we must fight to survive.
Sinai: What would you have us do?
Darach: Listen well.

[Alaric transforms and flies towards the amusement park. But as he is about to dive inside it, he is shot out of the sky by a sharp electric shock that sends him falling towards the ground. Alaric lands, and rises to see a ReliCreature pointing a rifle at his head.]

Red: What do you want from me?
Kazador: Your hide.

[Kazador shoots his rifle at Red but he rolls back and evades. Red rushes at him as his body paint glows and Kazador shoots at his chest. The bullets ricochet off of his chest as he engages Kazador in close combat. Kazador tries to shoot at his head multiple times, but Red quickly dodges, and disarms him. Kazador stumbles back but Red soars at him and kicks him against a tree.]

Red: What have you done to my friends?
Kazador: Nothing. They are trapped by the Fantome.
Red: The Fantome?
Kazador: Too bad, you are all alone, and with no one to help you.
Red: One thing you forget. We shaman are never alone. Our spirits, are joined by fate!
Kazador: Pitiful words of hope.

[Kazador regains his weapon and shoots a shot of energy at Red that sends him flying back against the spirit barrier. Red is shocked by its force, and Red is knocked out of his transformation.]

Alaric: Hope… is something you wish you had…
Kazador: Hm?
Alaric: Until my friends can bust their way out of there… I will never surrender this age to you!

[Alaric rises and runs at Kazador as shots barely miss him, and explode behind him.]

[Inside the amusement park, Darach peers around a corner and notices the four shaman doppelgangers slowly moving around the grounds. Darach turns to face the others.]

Darach: Don’t take this the wrong way… but there is a good chance that Kanro and Tassis are probably dead.
Cala: Don’t say that!
Darach: But, if they are alive, you need to find them.
Sinai: How?
Darach: Enjoy my reckless attempt at a distraction.

[Darach runs directly at the ghosts and transforms. The ghosts float towards him and try to grab at his body. Dusk shoots four spirit arrows at them and their ghost forms begin to freeze up. Dusk then sticks one of hi arrows into the ground and draws a circle around the ghosts. The circle burns with a purple spirit fire, and the ghosts cannot free themselves from it.]

Dusk: My sad attempt at a Fantome Imprison. While the fire burns the Fantome cannot escape. I cannot hold this forever.
Sinai: ...I think that was the distraction.
Dusk: You think?
Sinai: Sorry.

[Sinai and Cala run towards the House of Mirrors and inside the mirrors they find Kanro and Tassis are both trapped within!]

Sinai: Oh you poor things.
Kanro: Sympathy… is beyond me now…
Tassis: I… can… hardly… speak…
Sinai and Cala: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: LandShaman! WindShaman!
Yellow: How do we do this?
Pink: Don’t ask me, you’re the strong one.
Kanro: Can’t… breathe…
Yellow: Might as well…

[Yellow pulls out the Kaiten MystiClaw. She pushes the top symbol, and inserts it into her MysticLens.]

MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Lynx of Sphinx! SubterraLynx!

[Yellow’s face mask is replaced by that of a wild lynx pattern. Her body paint changes to match that of claw marks, and her head now has the crest of a wildcat.]

Amber: The Shaman of Sphinx! MysticAmber!
Pink: Woah! That’s epic, Sinai!
Amber: No time to be impressed.
Amber: Illusion of the Sphinx!

[Amber can suddenly see the mirror dimension and she leaps through it in order to grab Kanro and Tassis. She manages to pull both of them out, just as the Mirror Reality shatters behind her.]

Tassis: What do you know? … The girls saved the day…
Kanro: Tassis... don’t rub it in…
Amber and Pink: Hm. Men.

[Amber pulls the lever on her MysticLens as it begins to speak.]

MysticLens: Spirit of Sphinx! The Lynx of Jinx!

[Amber light begins to gather around Amber’s body, and she rushes outside, and releases it in a single pulse of light! The light manages to vanish the Fantome, and also shatter the Fantome Barrier around the amusement park!]

[Alaric is held in the clutches of Kazador and he is about to kill him, when the light shatters the barrier, and the energy throws him back. The other shaman join Alaric as they slowly help him to rise to his feet.]

Amber: Alaric… I can’t believe you would do this for us.
Alaric: Could it have been any other way? We are the five shaman that transcend time, aren’t we?
Pink: Aaaaaw, Alaric!

[Pink gives Alaric a big hug as Alaric struggles to break free of it. Pink finally lets go, and joins Amber facing against Kazador.]

Alaric: Guys, don’t take this the hard way, but I think we should let the girls handle this one.
All: Agreed!
Amber: Okay Cala, let’s end this!
Pink: Right with you!
Kazador: The only thing you will be ending is your stubbornness. Now die!
Amber: Not likely!

[Amber and Pink dodge Kazador’s rifle blast and circle around to hit him in the chest punching him back. Kazador stands and releases a multitude of gunfire at the two shaman. But Amber stands in front of Cala, and her light turns the bullets to sand! Kazador stands there shaking as his own rifle is turned to sand as well!]

Kazador: I must have your hide!
Amber: Oh you’ll be hiding alright.
Pink: From us!

[Amber and Pink both leave their handprints on Kazador’s body, and the two kick him back. Both shaman turn their backs to him as they pull their MysticLens levers twice.]

MysticLens: CavePrint! Kaboom!

[Kazador explodes behind them as the two shaman are seen walking away, towards their friends.]

Sinai: Well, not bad for a few girls, huh?
Alaric: You guys were incredible. I couldn’t have asked for a better team.
Kanro: Yeah, I’ll give you that fight for once. But don’t go thinking there will be a next time!
Cala: Wouldn’t dream of it!
Siani: Hey, where’s Darach?
Alaric: Darach?
Sinai: Yeah, he was helping us escape the ghosts… I wonder where he went?

[Standing at a distance, Darach is seen pulling back one of his arrows. The inscription on the arrow reads: “Impostor”.]

Darach: The shaman barely survived my test. If I hadn’t sent in my own impostor I am sure they would have been killed.

[Darach turns to look at the forest where the shaman live.]

Darach: Simply no value at all.

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Alaric: Spirit, I saw him… he has been hiding all these years…

Morpheus: Sleep never before seemed so precious…
…
Cala: Wait… am I… getting married?

[It is dark inside of the Abyss Cave. The center room is only lit by three small torches. Icarus is sleeping upside down from the ceiling, and Tengu is in the corner meditating. Osiris is still awake, intently trying to drain energy from Kajura’s stone body.]

Osiris: Agh!... It’s no use… No matter what I try, Kajura’s influence is somehow stronger than before!
???: Perhaps I can be of assistance…
Osiris: So, it’s you again… Morpheus.

[Morpheus makes himself visible as he smirks and steps towards Osiris. He is about to get close when a still meditating Tengu takes out his katana and holds it in front of Morpheus’s face!]

Morpheus: Hmph! I should have known it wasn’t easy to outsmart the pharaoh of the Abyss.
Osiris: What do you seek from us? You know you have been banished.
Morpheus: Don’t think of it as banishment, think of it as… a prolonged vacation.
Osiris: Your point being?
Morpheus: I want to interest you in a way to keep Kajura from reviving.
Osiris: Oh? And why should I listen to the very soul who backstabbed his own master?
Morpheus: For the very reasons I decided to backstab him in the first place. No one wants Kajura revived, and much less you. With my help, not only can you stop Kajura from reviving, but get revenge on those shaman as well.
Tengu: (still meditating) What do you know of the shaman?
Morpheus: Let’s just say I’ve “met them” in a past life.
Osiris: If what you say is true, then you will do whatever it takes to make sure your plan is a success. Or you will die trying.
Morpheus: I will not return until I have the shaman under my control.
Tengu: (still meditating) I would prefer if you didn’t return at all.
Osiris: Very well then. I will grant you this one chance to redeem yourself. But at the first sight of deception, it will be the last time you ever return anywhere.
Morpheus: Understood,... Master Osiris.

[The scene switches to the forest, where Alaric is having a private talk with Spirit about what he saw in the forest.]

Alaric: Spirit, I saw him… he’s been hiding all these years.
Spirit: You don’t mean,... he’s alive?!
Alaric: I still cannot trust my eyes. I really want to believe he survived, but… something tells me different.
Spirit: Well, if he is alive, then we need to make sure he is on our side. We don’t want to make an enemy out of him. You know what he is capable of.
Alaric: I understand.
Spirit: Will you be telling the others?
Alaric: In time. There are a lot of things they are still not ready to learn yet.
Spirit: You realize that the more you hide it from them, the harder it will be for you to complete the mission.
Alaric: I know. I just hope they are strong enough…
Spirit: They are. After all… they were the chosen.
Wind: Guys! Something serious has happened!
Alaric: What is it, Wind?
Wind: Morpheus is back!
Alaric: Oh noooo! I thought I was done with that guy for good!
Wind: Apparently not. And guess what?
Alaric: Don’t tell me.
Wind: Yes. He already put the others in the Dream World!
Alaric: Must I do everything on my own?
Wind: Good luck, Alaric!
Alaric: Yeah, yeah.

[Alaric walks out into the city. There, in the middle of the street, he notices the four shaman lying on the ground, fast asleep.]

Alaric: This guy is really proving to be a real nuisance.

[Morpheus suddenly appears behind him.]

Morpheus: Ah, Alaric. So nice to see you again. I would have you join them, but I don’t have a bride for you to marry.
Alaric: Lucky for you, I’ll end you before I even get the chance to see another wedding ring.

[Alaric transforms and rushes at Morpheus with his TalonSword drawn. He is about to slash at Morpheus when he materializes away from him.]

Morpheus: No no no. Alaric my friend, I am afraid that this time, you cannot defeat me.
Red: And what makes you say I can’t?
Morpheus: I have locked your friends inside the Dream World. If you destroy me, they will never wake up again.
Red: What do you mean?
Morpheus: However, if you yourself enter the Dream World and snap them out of their weddings, then maybe you can be able to save them.
Red: Why are you telling me all this?
Morpheus: Unlike the other ReliCreatures you have faced, I am quite different. There is something that I need from you in exchange for your friends.
Red: And what might that be?
Morpheus: I need your Kaiten MystiClaw.
Red: How do you know about that?
Morpheus: Nothing escapes my knowledge now. I know how strong you have gotten since your last encounter. And I also know that the power that you have right now, is beyond anything Osiris has.
Red: Osiris…
Morpheus: You want to save your friends, then enter my Dream World, and take them back.

[Morpheus opens a portal into the Dream World. Alaric stares intently into it. Before he walks into the portal, Red stops and looks back at Morpheus.]

Red: I know what you’re trying to do. And just so you know… I am about to smash your plan.

[Red enters the portal as the door closes behind him. Morpheus stops and laughs as he walks towards the city with an army of Willwhisps behind him.]

[Red enters the Dream World and stands in the middle of a church where the wedding bells are beginning to ring. Red looks behind him and notices Cala dressed as a bride in white being led down the aisle by her father.]

Red: Wow… I never noticed how beautiful Cala looks in her wedding dress…

[Cala walks past Red as she and her father walk their way down the aisle to where her groom is standing at the altar ready to marry her. Red tries to reach out to grab her, but his hand passes right through her body!]

Red: It seems I am not able to reach her. This must be Morpheus’s little idea of a game.

[Suddenly, Red feels a sudden drain in power. Red falls to the ground and finds it difficult to stand back up again.]

Red: What is this? Why do I feel so weak? It must be an effect of this Dream Reality. In order to support the illusion, it’s draining our Shamanic Power!

[Red notices that Cala has made it to the altar as she is completely enveloped in a trance, not knowing the Dream World is silently sapping away her powers.]

[Cala joins Gou at the altar as the priest begins to announce the beginning of the ceremony.]

Priest: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these two people in matrimony. The heart of the groom, Gou, to the heart of his bride, Cala, for the rest of their lives. Gou, do you have your vows for Cala?
Gou: Yes I do! \*clears throat\* Cala, ever since I heard about you. I knew you were the right one for me! I may be loud and dumb at times but, we can put that behind us for love!
Red: Cala… it’s not real… he’s draining… our power…
Priest: Cala, do you have your vows for Gou?
Cala: Yes, I do! Gou, I am so deeply in love with you. Ever since I saw you for the first time at the altar I knew that I would be spending the rest of my life with the man of my dreams. I love you Gou!
Priest: Do you, Gou, take this woman, Cala, to marry you, and to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Gou: I do.
Priest: And do you, Cala, take this man, Gou, to marry you, and to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Cala: Yes, I do.
Priest: Then by the power vested in me, I hereby pronounce Gou and Cala as husband and wife. Gou, you may kiss your bride.
Red: Cala… I gotta try to rise…
Gou: (My first kiss!) \*removes Cala’s veil and leans in for a kiss\*
Cala: (I love him soo much!) \*wraps arms around his head and leans in for a kiss\*

[Gou and Cala’s lips touch as they both kiss each other ever so lovingly. Gou finds himself wrapping his arms tightly around Cala’s waist embracing her even more. Cala also kisses Gou more deeply, as Shamanic Power slowly flows from her body.]

Red: She could be dead, and then it would be my fault! I can’t let that happen!

[Red rushes towards the altar as his own shamanic power covers his body and he hugs Cala as the force of his magic shatters the dimensional rift, and Red can now come in contact with Cala.]

Cala: Alaric? What are you doing here? Are you happy that I got married to such an amazing man?!
Gou: Are you her Ex?! Back off man.
Red: Cala… this world… none of it is real. Its an illusion created by Morpheus to drain our powers.
Cala: What? Really?!

[Red suddenly drops to the floor and Cala and Gou look over him concerned. Red manages to stand up again.]

Red: There isn’t much time. We need to snap the others out before they are drained too. Or worse.
Cala: Alright then. Let’s go!
Cala: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: WindShaman!
Pink: Sorry Gou, but I’m afraid you need to find your own way out.
Gou: It's okay! See you later Shaman Sentai! Protect the world in my place!
Pink: What? You know who we are?
Gou: Of course! I'm in a sentai too! Yasei Sentai to be exact, we are the wildest mages in the world!!! I should calm down. I can tell you two are good guys from the spandex suits.
Red: Wow. Get your own show, man. Cala, let’s go.
Pink: Right. Nice marrying you! Let’s do it again sometime!
Red: Cala, that cannot be the only thing on your mind right now.

[Red uses his Shamanic Power to open another Dream portal. Red feels extremely weakened, but he and Cala journey through the next portal to the wedding of Kanro and Jasmine.]

[They both reappear on the other side, but they see no wedding underway. Just Kanro standing in front of the portal with Jasmine swooning over him.]

Red: Kanro… isn’t this supposed to be your wedding?
Kanro: Oh yeah, I figured that out a while ago. Jasmine just follows me wherever I go. I figured you guys would show up eventually.
Pink: Wow Kanro! That’s so cool!
Jasmine: Stay away from my Horsey!
Red: Well, should we get going then?
Kanro: I can’t wait.
Kanro: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: AquaShaman!

[Blue has now transformed, but before he leaves in the next portal, he takes off his helmet and kisses Jasmine deeply.]

Blue: I love you Jasmine. Don’t you ever forget that.
Jasmine: I won’t. I hope we can meet again one day.

[Red tries to open the next portal, but he is so drained he collapses. Blue and Pink hurry over to help him stand.]

Red: Thanks guys… I’m fine…
Pink: No you aren’t. You take a break. Me and Kanro will open the portal.
Red: No. I shouldn’t try to exhaust you. This is a really advanced level of shamanism.
Blue: Then its a good thing I made it my philosophy to surpass you. Take it easy, we will handle this.

[Blue and Pink step in front of Red and open the next portal as they all journey into the next world.]

[Back in the city, Morpheus has led an onslaught of the human race upon the city. Willwhisps are seen destroying and burning buildings and facilities. Morpheus is standing from above watching them as he feels the Shamanic Power growing inside of him.]

Morpheus: By the time they make it out they will be as good as dead. Master Osiris will be very pleased with my work.
Darach: I wouldn’t go that far.
Morpheus: What?! Who are you?!
Darach: Why should I present myself to someone I’m about to destroy?
Morpheus: You will suffer by that insult!
Darach: You have something of mine that I would like to have back.
Morpheus: No way! This Shamanic Power is all mine!
Darach: That’s not what I’m after.
Darach: Shamanic Transcendance.

[Darach shoots a MysticArrow into the sky and the downdraft from the arrow surrounds his body in a black and purple mist. A raven forms over his head as he is transformed into MysticDusk!]

Morpheus: You! You were the one who destroyed me last time!
Dusk: This time there won’t be a last time. Arch Crosshadow!

[Dusk shoots three arrows at once at Morpheus and he catches them. But the arrows release a purple mist that starts to disintegrate Morpheus arm! Morpheus recoils in pain, but Dusk flips over him and pins his arms behind his back. He moves back, and then shoots a single arrow that hits his chest and sends him flying off the roof and onto the ground.]

Morpheus: Is that all you got?
Dusk: I thought you would never ask.

[Back in the Dream World, Kaito and Sinai are getting ready to get married. Only this time, they don’t realize it’s an illusion.]

Priest: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these two people in matrimony. The heart of Kaito the groom, to the heart of his bride, Sinai, together in holy matrimony for the rest of their lives. Kaito, do you have your vows for Sinai?
Kaito: Sinai, since I’ve seen you, I knew we had to be together! Sinai, let’s hurry out of here so we can be together!
Priest: And Sinai, do you have your vows for Kaito?
Sinai: Kaito, I have said it before, and I will say it again: I love you with all of my heart. As a shaman I never got to experience true love. But now that we are here about to finally be married makes me feel so happy and loving. I love you, and nothing will ever change that.
Priest: Do you, Kaito, take this woman, Sinai, to marry you, and to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Kaito: I do.
Priest: And you you, Sinai, take this man, Kaito, to marry you, and to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Sinai: Yes, I do! Just kiss me already!
Priest: I hereby pronounce Kaito and Sinai as husband and wife. Kaito, you may kiss your bride.
Kaito: (It's time!!!) \*leans in for kiss\*
Sinai: \*leans in for a kiss\* I love you.

[Just as their lips are about to touch, the portal opens and the other three shaman come through. Sinai still kisses Kaito, and the two embrace each other in a strong love that takes hold of them both.]

Red: I hope you don’t mind, but on the way we stopped by and picked up Tassis. I think his Mask Kaiten is something you’ll wanna see.
Blue: Ready Tassis?
Tassis: I’m on it!
Tassis: Shamanic Transcendance and Mask Kaiten!
MysticLens: ForestShaman!
MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Dragon of Komodo! ToxiKomodo!

[Green’s body paint changes into one that looks like scales. His facemask becomes that of a giant lizard, and he gains a crest of a dragon-like head.]

Camo: Shaman of Komodo! MysticCamo!
Camo: Time for a little illusion crashing venom!
MysticLens: Spirit of Komodo! The Dragon of Sokado!

[Camo lurches forward and a green looking mist surrounds Kaito and Sinai. They both quickly realize what is happening, and they wake up from their illusion.]

Kaito: I'm back!!!
Sinai: Well, at least this mist doesn’t change the fact that I still wanna marry Kaito.
Kaito: Same here
Red: Sinai, I know you two are tied together by fate, and that’s great and all, but the more we stay here the weaker… we… become…
Sinai: Alright, we should go.
Sinai: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: LandShaman!
Yellow: Come on Kaito, let’s get out of here.
Kaito: It's okay! Let's just say….I have a magical friend on his way.
Yellow: Alright. But I promise I’ll come back, and we will get married. Promise?
Kaito: Promise.
Yellow: Oh, I love you.
Red: Sinai!
Yellow: Alright, I get it.

[As Yellow exits through the portal, she is instantly hit with a massive drain in power! All the others ate in the same state. All drained and forced out of their transformations! A towering Morpheus stands above them, and is searching for the finishing blow to kill all the shaman.]

Morpheus: And with this… the age is ours!

[Suddenly, Morpheus feels a very sharp pain in his back. He turns around to see that Dusk has thrusted an arrow right into his back!]

Dusk: I hope you didn’t forget about me.
Morpheus: Why you! Even if you kill me, I will always come back again even stronger than before!
Dusk: The Being of Dreams. I am taking that power.

[Dusk twists the arrow deeper into his body, and Morpheus power begins to drain into it. Morpheus yells in pain, but Dusk finishes it off, and Morpheus is completely absorbed into the arrow. The arrow now reads: Nightmare.]

Dusk: Another one for the collection.

[As Dusk begins to walk off into the distance, he turns back to glance at the shaman on the ground. He takes an arrow, and shoots it at the sky above them. It shatters, and down falls a golden light mist that enters their bodies. The writing on that arrow read: Love.]

Dusk: We found ourselves another one today. These fights are only going to get worse. I just hope that they are ready when it comes.

[Darach walks off into the distance as he mounts his Arc Crosshadow back on his back, and disappears into the night. As Darach disappears, another team watches over a cliff.]

Jasmine: Hey Hikaru! Can I go say bye to Kanro?
Ani Red: Not now Jasmine, our battle is elsewhere. This place is in the hands of the Shaman sentai.
Kaito: I read a book on Shamanism and it's really similar to our magic. Do you think it was one of Gias’ plans?
Gou: Nah, they seem like cool shamans or whatever! Now let's go!

[Ani Red demorphs as he reveals to be a young man.]

## Episode 11- The Frozen Totems

[The city skyline comes into view. Suddenly, a giant glacier pierces through the ground and nearly touches the sky. The glacier begins to glow, and then a gust of frozen wind engulfs the surrounding city. People, buildings, and animals are frozen solid. Almost as if time itself has suddenly stopped.]

[The Ancients observe the scene unfolding upon the Earth, and they cannot help but stare in admiration of it all.]

Tengu: Are you pleased, Master?
Osiris: Now this is what real progress looks like.
Tengu: I have already ordered an operative to execute The Third Ice Age.
Osiris: Excellent! The strength of the magic used must surely mean that you are now serious about this.
Tengu: I will make sure the operation is carried out successfully.
Osiris: See to it then.
Tengu: With this, I will surely clench my victory in my duel.

[Osiris walks back over to where the still petrified statue of Kajura sits. Osiris stares at it for a while, and then draws out his khopesh and violently slashes at the statue. The statue remains unscathed. Osiris turns his back in frustration.]

Osiris: Is there truly no way of destroying him?

[The scene switches to the Ancient Forest where the other shaman are also observing the global freeze currently underway.]

Cala: There is no way that we can handle ourselves against that.
Tassis: But if we don’t, we’re next, and then the rest of this civilization.
Cala: Alaric, you have flame shamanism, can’t you thaw out everyone?
Alaric: I’m afraid it’s not that simple. This is cursed ice.
Sinai: Cursed ice?
Spirit: Ice that never melts because it is bounded by the very magic that created it.
Cala: So that means…
Kanro: The Ancients must be behind this. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Tengu was leading the attack.
All: Tengu?
Kanro: That’s right. When I first experienced by surge in shamanism, I was confronted by a creature named Tengu.
Alaric: Why didn’t you tell us about this?
Kanro: Because I made a promise that I would duel him when the time came.
Sinai: What?! You can’t be serious!
Kanro: That is not for you to decide.
Alaric: Actually, I think it is. We are all a team, so where one goes everyone else follows. If you think that actually sacrificing yourself in order to accomplish your goal is not going to change anything then you haven’t been thinking clearly.
Kanro: I am sorry Alaric. But I don’t think you can get me out of this one.
Wind: Guys! The glacier has expanded! It’s now only a few feet away from the forest!
Tassis: We cannot stay here any longer. We need to destroy that glacier.
Spirit: Wait. There is something you must know about that glacier.
Sinai: What is it?
Spirit: The glacier contains the frozen remains of the Kaiten Totems.
Sinai: The Kaiten Totems?
Spirit: Ages ago, centuries before you were born, the very first civilization created giant monoliths to represent each tribes guardian spirit. Once infused with the hopes and prayers from each of the tribes the totems came to life, and guarded the civilization for several years.
Cala: And then what happened?
Spirit: Then, disaster struck as came the extinction of the dinosaurs. Asteroids were colliding against the Earth, and already several species had gone extinct. In order to protect the tribes, the totems stood on top of one another forming a giant totem pole that held up the sky. The pole shielded the tribes from destruction as they were the only survivors of the cataclysmic devastation.
Kanro: And now they are back.
Spirit: So it seems. The cursed ice must be preventing them from awakening again.
Tassis: So what are we waiting for? Let’s crush that ice already!
Spirit: At your current level you cannot break the cursed ice.
Alaric: Then what do we do?
Spirit: We need our last Mask Kaiten.

[Everyone suddenly looks directly at Kanro. Kanro stares back at them in disbelief.]

Kanro: I was getting to that!
All: Then get on with it!
Kanro: Alright, alright, I get it. I’ll unlock my Mask Kaiten.
Spirit: There is only one way to accomplish this feat. You must use all of your Mask Kaitens at once.
Cala: But that’s impossible! We only have one MystiClaw!
Spirit: I know you will find a way to awaken them once again.
Sinai: Thanks for the vague advice, Spirit. You’re helping us a lot.
Spirit: No problem! I love being vague.
Alaric: Guys, let’s go.

[The shaman rush to where the ice is covering the city. Tassis and Sinai run up to the ice and transform. But as soon as their feet touch the ice, their body slowly begins to freeze up.]

Green: Agh! I can’t move! My legs are frozen!
Yellow: I knew I should have brought snowshoes.
Red: Guys, remain calm. Just shatter the ice and move quickly towards the glacier. Try to keep up.
Green: Says the guy who can fly.
Red: Hey, I don’t choose my spirit animal. Let’s move.

[The five shaman rush across the icecap trying to avoid stalagmites and icicles as they navigate their way through the frozen wasteland. Tengu and his ReliCreature Nordic stare at the shaman from the top of the glacier.]

Tengu: Nordic, make this a little more extreme.
Nordic: Ah.

[Nordic digs his hands into the glacier and various stalagmites and icicles shoot out from the ground trying to pierce the shaman from various directions. The shaman quickly react, and dodge several icicles, and flip and slide over several others. Their agility keeps them from getting pierced, as the shaman now dash their way towards the glacier.]

Tengu: The flying one is a problem.

[Tengu takes out his katana and slashes towards the sky creating a spirit slash that hits Red and knocks him out of the sky. Red quickly recovers and slides on an icicle to safety.]

Red: You know for an ice creature, that was not cool.
Nordic: Hey, I don’t choose my spirit animal either.
Red: Phw! Showoff.

[Red rushes through the chaos while dodging elevating icicle spears protruding out from the frozen ground. Eventually, all five shaman manage to arrive at the base of the ice glacier while Nordic jumps down to confront them directly.]

Red: Oh, so you're more of a hands on guy aren't you?
Nordic: I wouldn't crush you with any other hands.
Blue: Alaric, let me take this guy. You guys try to find a way to free the Totems.
Red: Alright. Go on.

[The four shaman run towards the base of the glacier while Nordic tries to stop them, but he is intercepted by Blue, who won’t let him through without a fight.]

Blue: It wouldn’t be much of a fight if I just let you run away now would it?
Nordic: Fine! Have it your way!

[Nordic rushes at Blue but Blue slides to one side evading his attacks. Nordic shoots a gust of icy wind upon Blue which freezes him up, and causes him to stumble backwards. Blue then glances at the giant icicles surrounding them. He then runs up and icicle and flips over Nordic to the opposite side. When Nordic tries to turn around, Blue shoots him with his HoofClaw. Nordic stumbles backwards, but Blue slides faster and kicks him against the glacier walls.]

Nordic: Aaaaagh!
Blue: It seems the horseshoe is on the other hoof.
Nordic: Don’t you dare think this is over yet!
Blue: Oh I’m afraid it is. For you, and for your Master.

[Blue stares directly at Tengu who is standing atop the glacier staring at him.]

Nordic: You will suffer for that comment!
Blue: Bring it on! If anything you can never defeat us, because we will always dash ahead to victory!

[Suddenly the Kaiten MystiClaw begins to glow with a bright blue light. Blue grabs the Kaiten MystiClaw, and inserts it into the MysticLens as it begins to speak.]

MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Swordfish of Akamai! AquosSwordfish!

[Blue light envelops Blue and his body paint changes to that of fins. His facemask becomes that of a swordfish with a protruding dorsal fin crest coming from atop his head. The light dissipates and there stands a new shamanic warrior in the present age!]

Arctic: Shaman of Akamai! MysticArctic!
Nordic: What? You think this makes you stronger than me?
Arctic: I don’t think so. I know so.
Nordic: Then take this!

[Nordic shoots a stream of ice directly at Arctic. But Arctic draws out his SwordfishSaber and quickly slashes through every single ice shard. Nordic takes a few steps back, and Arctic slides up to him and slashes him across his chest. Nordic falls backwards, but Arctic pulls the side lever on his MysticLens. It is already too late.]

MysticLens: Spirit of Akamai! Swordfish of Tohora!

[Arctic draws back his sword as a spirit forms around his body. Arctic dashes forward and turns into a spirit torpedo. The torpedo strikes right through Nordic’s body, leaving him completely destroyed as he explodes behind Arctic. Tengu looks down at the other shaman that have already surrounded the glacier.]

Tengu: I have what I came here for.

[Tengu walks into a portal behind him, and disappears from the scene. Arctic looks up at where Tengu stood, and wonders what he could be up to.]

[The other shaman have surrounded the glacier and Arctic joins them.]

Red: Woah! Arctic Swordfish? Thats too cool!
Pink: Aw man. Wanna switch?
Spirit: Shaman, focus. The only way to free the Kaiten Totems is to execute a simultaneous Mask Kaiten.
Green: A simultaneous Mask Kaiten?!
Yellow: But that’s never been done before!
Red: We have to do this. A simultaneous Mask Kaiten. Are you guys ready?
All: Ready.
Red: Then let’s begin the ritual!

[Red grabs the Kaiten MystiClaw and inserts it into his MysticLens. He then removes it and tosses it to the next shaman, and therefore continuously.]

MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! The Bull of Minos! PyroBull!
MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Swordfish of Akamai! AquosSwordfish!
MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Lynx of Sphinx! SubterraLynx!
MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Dragon of Komodo! ToxiKomodo!
MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Peacock of Hera! VentusPeacock!

[All the shaman are now transformed into their Mask Kaiten forms. BUt they focues all of their Shamanic Power into their core so their transformation will last as long as possible. The shaman then all place their hands on the ice glacier and pull on their MysticLens levers twice.]

MysticLens: Caveprint! Kaboom!

[Shamanic Power enhanced by their Mask Kaitens causes the handprint on the glacier to become more and more heated. The Shamanic Power begins to thaw out the Kaiten Totems frozen within, and a faint light begins to emanate from the inside as the ancient Totems are slowly returning to life.]

Fuchsia: Agh! I can’t hold it much longer!
Crimson: Come on! Exceed your limits! Surpass time itself!
All: Aaaaaaaaah!

[Suddenly a giant flash of light shatters the glacier and the light melts the surrounding frozen ground around them. The ice stops inches away from the Ancient Forest, and standing in place of the glacier stands a giant, massive ancient totem pole!]

All: Woah! That’s incredible!
Spirit: Thanks to the exceedingly powerful amount of Shamanic Power you five channeled, the Kaiten Totems have granted you each the power to remain in your Mask Kaitens. Now you can access even greater power!
Crimson: Wow, really?! Alright guys, let’s mount the Kaiten Totems that exceed time!
All: Let’s go!

[The five shaman enter the Kaiten Totems as they slowly begin to spin around and power itself up again. The Kaiten Totems rise up and reassemble themselves in the sky.]

Crimson: Shamanic Gattai! Kaiten Totem-Oh!

[Each circular part of the Kaiten Totems breaks apart and then forms itself around their PyroBull base. Lynx and Swordfish form the arms, and Dragon composes the legs. To complete their combination, Peacock forms the head making the look of a shaman with a feather headdress.]

[Deep inside Abyss Cave, Tengu is not ready to let the shaman off the hook that easily.]

Tengu: I am not prepared to let those shaman off the hook that easily.
Tengu: Fuumetsu Scroll!

[Tengu’s Fuumetsu Scroll unravels as the characters enter Nordic’s body and revive him as a giant.]

Nordic: The Ice Age never seemed so giant!
Crimson: Guys, let’s show this guy some prehistoric power!
All: Right!

[Kaiten Totem-Oh engages Nordic as the two giants clash against each other. Kaiten Totem-Oh slashes at Nordic with his Swordfish arm, and hits him back with his Lynx arm. Nordic falls back as the centerpiece for Dragon shoots a stream of dragon breath at Nordic making him fall to the ground again.]

Crimson: Let’s end this!
All: Dai Kaiten Crush!

[Kaiten Totem-Oh disassembles and then reassembles as a giant totem pole cannon right on top of Nordic. The cannon’s center begins to charge up as fiery energy is generated at its core. The blast is suddenly released as a massive amount of ancient Shamanic Power crushes Nordic beneath them. Nordic explodes behind them as the totem pole lands back in front of the scene.]

All: Oh yeah! That was awesome!
Arctic: We sure brought it home on this one.
Fuchsia: Kanro, if it wasn’t for you, we never would have gotten this far. Thanks for never giving up on us.
Arctic: Aw, thanks guys.
Camo: No matter who the enemy, if you think you should handle this alone, just know that we believe in you.
Amber: No matter what.
Crimson: Across time itself.
Arctic: Thanks guys. Having friends like you really makes all the difference.

[Suddenly the sky gets dark as a ray shoots down out of the sky in front of them. There stands Dusk Dai-Oh, and turns around ready to face them in battle.]

Crimson: Darach!
Dusk: I see you have gotten stronger. But let’s just see how strong you really are.

[The shaman face off against Dusk. Who will be the victor of this fated confrontation? Find out next time, on Shaman Sentai Mysticjar!]

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Crimson: Darach! Why are you doing this?
Dusk: Your power must be unrivaled! I came here to test that theory!
…
Alaric: Spirit… just who is Darach? Where did he come from?
Spirit: That is a long story.
…
Osiris: It cannot be! Not now! Not now!
…
Darach: There is something that I must know from you.
Boy: …

## Episode 12- Secrets

[The scene continues where we left off last. MysticDusk stands in his Dusk Dai-Oh facing against the shaman who stand inside Kaiten Totem-Oh. Darach wants to test the shaman just to see how strong they have become, but the shaman refuse to fight against him. What will happen next?]

Crimson: Darach! Why are you doing this?
Dusk: Your power must be unrivaled! I came here to test that theory!
Crimson: Unrivaled? What do you mean?
Dusk: You will know soon enough. If you refuse to fight, then I will go out of my way to eliminate you!

[Dusk Dai-Oh lunges at Kaiten Totem-Oh and the two giants clash against each other in combat. Dusk Dai-Oh slashes at Kaiten Totem-Oh with his wings several times and in rapid succession. Kaiten Totem-Oh falls back against the ground. Dusk Dai-Oh flies up against the sky and starts rushing down towards them about to impact their mecha. That’s when the shaman inside finally build up the resolve to fight to survive. Kaiten Totem-Oh reverts back into his cannon form, and shoots the Kaiten Crush directly at the oncoming Dusk Dai-Oh! Dusk Dai-Oh is heavily damaged as MysticDusk recovers within.]

Crimson: There is no need to delay this fight any longer.
Dusk: YES THERE IS! You just wouldn’t understand…
Crimson: Then tell us then. Why do you need to fight us? I can sense your fear Darach. What are you so afraid of?
Dusk: I fear nothing… What is important now, is showing me your strength!

[Dusk Dai-Oh flies at Kaiten Totem-Oh, but Kaiten Totem-Oh rotates deflecting Dusk Dai-Oh to one side. Kaiten Totem-Oh then disassembles and attacks Dusk Dai-Oh from various angles. Dusk Dai-Oh is too damaged to continue, and the final attack from Kaiten Totem-Oh forces MysticDusk to exit his mecha.]

[MysticDusk lands on the ground staring up at Kaiten Totem-Oh.]

Dusk: So it is true… they have surpassed me…

[MysticDusk dashes straight into the dark side of the forest as he disappears from view of the other shaman. The other shaman look down at where he once was from Kaiten Totem-Oh and just stare in wonder and astonishment.]

Arctic: There is definitely something we don’t know about Darach.
Crimson: I know. That’s something I want to find out.

[The scene switches to the Ancient Forest where the shaman are recovering from their battle with Darach.]

Alaric: Spirit… just who is Darach? Where did he come from?
Spirit: That is a long story.
Kanro: Yeah, well we have been asleep for nearly 3,000 years, now that’s a long story.
Spirit: Darach’s story goes back before 3,000 years ago. Before you were born.
Alaric: How is that possible? When I met him in that forest he was just a young boy?
Spirit: I know it seems hard to believe, but several years ago I made a promise that I intend to keep until it is time.
Sinai: A promise? What promise?
Spirit: I promised someone that I would not tell you about the existence of Darach or what he intends to do until the right time comes.
Tassis: So you knew about Darach all along, didn’t you?
Spirit: Yes, I did.
Alaric: What more do you know that you haven’t told us yet?
Spirit: There are still many secrets that will be revealed to you in time. Darach is one of those secrets.
Sinai: So are we just supposed to sit around and wait for the answer to come to us, then?
Spirit: No. You five are worth more than that. You have unlocked greater power, and because of it you are several steps closer to unlocking all of these secrets.
Alaric: Our powers… Spirit, I noticed something. Our Mask Kaitens use Shamanic Power very similar to the ones our parents used to use. Is there a connection?
Tasis: Yeah, I noticed that too. I still remember my uncle teaching me how to spit venom streams.

[Everyone stops and looks directly at Tassis.]

Tassis: What? You get wiser with age.
All: Right, makes sense.
Spirit: My point being, you five have grown stronger than I could have ever imagined. I know that if you work hard, you can surely uncover your past.
Cala: Thank you, Spirit. Thank you for being such a good friend.
Kanro: That’s true. We probably wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for you.
Alaric: Let’s continue to get along. No matter what the secrets the past has hidden from us, you Spirit, you too will transcend time with us!
Spirit: Thank you everyone. I just don’t know if I will be able to… In the end…

[Suddenly a giant earthquake begins to shake the Earth. The scene switches immediately to the Abyss Cave, where Kajura’s statue has begun to shake and crack. Osiris and the others immediately rush over to the stone statue and stare in horror as Kajura begins to revive.]

Osiris: It cannot be! Not now! Not now!
Icarus: Oh no! Osiris, isn’t there anything we can do?!
Osiris: I have done all I can. Just prepare for the worst to come.
Tengu: Kajura…

[Suddenly, Kajura’s stone statue shatters as millions of stone fragments hit against the walls of the cave in a vast splendor of rainbow colored light and feathers. Osiris and the others gaze at the spectacle as a feathered snake’s spirit snakes it’s way around the cave circling around the other Ancients and rises in front of the pedestal in the center of the room. Kajura wrapps himself around Osiris’ pyramid and hisses as he begins to speak.]

Kajura: What isss thisss?! I have barely revived?!

[Kajura stares at his spirit body, and then he stares at the other Ancients.]

Kajura: Hmmmm… There isss one lesss than I usssed to remember… Where isss Olmec?
Tengu: He is dead.
Kajura: Isss that ssso, Osssirisss?

[Osiris stares down at the ground. Then he slowly begins to laugh maniacally. He lifts his head up and stares at Kajura directly.]

Osiris: I don’t know what I was so afraid of. This is great! Can you not see, my magic worked after all!
Kajura: What?!
Osiris: Kajura, you are like this because I stole something from you.
Kajura: What have you taken from me you fiend!
Osiris: Just… your power to fully revive.
Kajura: You dare! Return it at once!

[Kajura lunges at Osiris, but his spirit passes directly through Osiris’ body. Kajura recoils on the opposite side in disgust and fury.]

Osiris: Are you done playing games now, Kajura? Welcome to the real world. I am the king of the Abyss now!
Kajura: Hissssss!
Osiris: In your current state you can do nothing to stop us. As king of the Abyss I hereby banish you Kajura. Your destiny now lies in wandering the human realm for all eternity. Let’s just see how long you can last without your power.
Kajura: Cursssse you Osssirissss! I will find a way to return. And when I do… You will ssssuffer for it!
Osiris: Ha! You think you can curse me?! I practically invented the curse. Now begone, you tenacious snake!

[Osiris extends his hand as a shaft of light emanates from it as an Eye of Horus appears behind Kajura as it accesses a portal to the Human Realm. Icarus spreads his wings and unleashes a massive gust of wind at Kajura that sends him flying through the portal away from the Abyss Cave!]

[Osiris and the others recover from the experience, and Osiris assumes his position in his golden throne once again. Icarus and Tengu both genoflex before Osiris, as Osiris’ evil laugh echoes throughout the Abyss Cave.]

[The scene switches back to the Human Realm, where Kajura ended up. Kajura soars against the daylit sky as he flies over the vast expanse of the Ancient Forest.]

Kajura: Thisss form isss not enough! I need to find a stronger source of power to possssessss!

[Kajura flies over the forest and decides to span the entire Earth, searching for a stronger power to house his own body.]

[Back in the Ancient Forest, the shaman and the others are recovering from the earthquake that just occurred.]

Alaric: Wow, that was some earthquake.
Spirit: I don’t know if you sensed it, but did you feel it too?
Tassis: Yeah, I kinda did sense something. It sent a shiver down my spine.
Sinai: You did Tassis? I didn’t sense anything.
Kanro: Yeah me either. Are you sure you’re okay?
Spirit: No I sensed it too. Something is bringing back bad memories.
Tassis: Yeah, I sensed… something from my past almost…
Kanro: Your past?
Tassis: Yeah,... like I remember feeling this before.
Alaric: Whatever it was, I think it’s gone now.
Spirit: I have a feeling it could come again soon.
Sinai: Well, if it wasn’t something serious then there is no sense in worrying about it.
Cala: Yeah, come on! Let’s train some more!
Tassis: Alright, let’s go.

[The five shaman begin to head out, but Spirit suddenly stops Tassis for a slight moment.]

Spirit: Tassis,... what you sensed… did you sense your parents?
Tassis: Yes Spirit, I sensed their death.
Spirit: Did it make you afraid?
Tassis: It did. Simply not knowing how or why it happened is scary a thought enough for me. Everything happened so fast. It was almost like it flashed before my eyes.
Spirit: You never got to say goodbye to them, didn’t you?
Tassis: No…
Spirit: I promise you Tassis, the past haunts all of us in different ways. I am sure that if your parents could see you now, they would be so proud of everything you have done to protect this time.
Tassis: I really hope so. You sensed the premonition as well.
Spirit: I did. I fear that the last Ancient general has been resurrected.
Tassis: Are you sure? Why didn’t you tell the others?
Spirit: Because this one is not like the others. This one… shares your blood.
Tassis: Wha… what do you mean?
Spirit: The Feathered Serpent. The Aboriginal God. The Flash Killer. Kajura.
Tassis: Father told me about Kajura once. A fearsome killer, he takes no prisoners. He kills in the blink of an eye, everything you love is gone in an instant. My father told me,... before he was killed… that it was Kajura who eclipsed the sun on that day.
Spirit: It is good to let go. Release your fears. No matter what happens, I promise we will not let Kajura lay a single hand on you.
Tassis: Why protect me so much? After all we have been through?
Spirit: No particular reason. Now go, the others are waiting for you.
Tassis: Alright, I’ll be on my way then.

[Tassis exits as Wind appears and leans up against Spirit.]

Wind: Is this the feeling of someone coming through?
Spirit: Now is a good a time as any to warn them. Kajura is a fearsome enemy. His revival could mean devastation for us and this world.
Wind: I’m just glad you decided to save them. Just like you saved me that day.
Spirit: I did what I had to do.
Wind: Did putting them to sleep that day… ever worry you that they might never have woken up?

[Spirit suddenly gets a flashback vision of that same day. The day he put the shaman to sleep.]

Spirit: Every day. Even now, I still don’t think they have woken up yet.
Wind: You’ll do the right thing. You always do.
Spirit: …

[Wind disappears into the corner as Spirit watches the shaman train from a distance. He silently smiles to himself, then he speaks to himself.]

Spirit: I could not be more proud…

[The scene slowly switches to a slow run through the Ancient Forest. We travel deeper and deeper inside until we reach the side where light meets with dark. Standing on opposite sides of the forest, stand Darach and the young boy. They stare silently and intently at each other, as Darach slowly begins to speak.]

Darach: There is something I must know from you.
Boy: …
Darach: Is it alright to stop?
Boy: … کار خود را به هدایت می کند. نه چیزی بیشتر.
Darach: When will I know when the time is right?
Boy: شما می دانید.
Darach: And when the time comes… can I show them... our time?
Boy: به موقع.
Darach: I will go once again. The final test is upon us.
Boy: …
Darach: Goodbye.

[Darach slowly walks away from the dark side of the forest where the young boy is standing. The young boy slowly turns around and walks deeper into the darkness towards a small golden gleam in the distance. Darach begins to think to himself as he walks away.]

Darach: Kajura has revived. This will truly speed up the clock. There is no time left to prepare. We must take action.

[Darach exits the Ancient Forest and gazes at the five shaman training within. He smiles to himself.]

Darach: They will be ready. I’ll make sure of it.

[Darach stares at the skyline as the sun begins to set. The shadow guardian has now truly become a shadow guardian.]

[The five shaman train. Unknown to them, is that their entire lives are just about to change. The secrets revealed today will soon come to pass. The challenges they have faced will only get more difficult. And the Fated Hourglass is still taking time. But one thing is undeniably certain: these are the five shaman that are destined to transcend time.]

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Osiris: Kajura is doing one thing for us. His revival has sped up the Fated Hourglass.
…
Anansi: Master Kajura has revived. So then, my traps can now commence.
…
Yellow: What is this? I’m stuck!
Anansi: I am sorry, but my Master wants to see you now.
…
Tassis: Sinai has been captured!
Kanro: And if we’re not careful, we’re next.
…
Spirit: One way Kajura can revive, is if he makes a pact with a being of equal energy.
Alaric: So that means…
Spirit: Yes. Kajura is planning to marry Sinai.

## Episode 13- The Love Pact

by SpecialForm12, May 26, 2016, 5:20:53 PM
Journals / Personal
[The scene takes place in Abyss Cave, where everyone is recovering from Kajura’s revival.]

Icarus: Osiris, what do you make of this? You know if Kajura revives and regains his body, he is going to come after you and kill you.
Osiris: Which is why we will stop at nothing until that snake is extinct. We won’t let him get close to anyone, and we won’t let him make a pact with anyone.
Tengu: Pact? What do you mean by a pact?
Osiris: That is Kajura’s weakness. He revived too soon, and because of it, he needs to make a pact with a mortal in order to steal their life energy.
Icarus: And how would he do that if he’s a spirit?
Osiris: A wedding.
Icarus: A wedding? What’s that?
Osiris. A traditional human custom where two people joined by love are joined together in matrimony for all eternity. Kajura knows that love is the most powerful force in the universe, and he will try to use that to his advantage.
Icarus: What can I do? What can I do to stop the wedding?!
Osiris: Send a spy. I want to know what he plans to do exactly when he does it.
Icarus: You got it! Aeolus!

[A sudden gust of wind takes form as Aeolus appears in front of the Ancients.]

Aeolus: At your service, my Master.
Icarus: Spy on Kajura and whatever he does. Make sure he doesn’t make a pact with a human.
Aeolus: You can count on me, Master.

[Later, not to far away from the Ancient Forest, a mysterious ReliCreture with six elongated arms is silently watching the shaman train from a significant distance.]

Anansi: Master Kajura has revived, and he is looking for a bride. Let’s see here…

[Anansi looks around at the shaman and his eyes instantly lock onto Sinai.]

Anansi: Ooooh! She is beautiful! The Master will surely fall in love with her. Now, it’s time for me to set up my traps!

[The shaman are all busy training as they are focusing their minds on an important exercise.]

Alaric: This exercise is called Singular Mind. It allows one to focus their mind, and collect their humanity. In the event that one’s own mind is being controlled by another, honing your mind will be able to snap you out of any mere trance.
Tassis: Alaric, this is getting a bit tedious, do you think we could take a break for a sec?
Alaric: (under his breath) Babies…
Tassis: What did you say?
Alaric: Nothing! Let’s all take a break. Reconvene shortly.

[The shaman all get up and split up into different parts of the forest. As each shaman is walking away, Anansi is carefully watching from a distance, as he has already set up his traps from within.]

Tassis: Hey Kanro, don’t you ever feel like sometimes you’re being watched?
Kanro: All the time, why?
Tassis: Even when someone isn’t even there?
Kanro: You bet. It helps keep me alert.
Tassis: So you’re saying that because you are always alert, there is no way to sneak up on you?
Kanro: Nope. No way, no how.
Tassis: Wow, that’s so cool.
Kanro: I know right? Train hard and one day, you can be just like m…

[Kanro and Tassis suddenly fall into a deep pit someone had dug in the woods. Anansi looms in from above the hole and looks into it, and is disappointed he didn’t capture Sinai.]

Anansi: Aw! It’s just two men.
Kanro: So you’re the one who set up this hole?
Tassis: Come on Kanro, I thought you were better than this. They really snuck up on you this time.
Kanro: Not the time.
Tassis. Whatever you say…
Kanro: Hmmmph…
Anansi: Well, I might as well take my leave. I still have someone else I need to catch! Seeya!
Kanro: Wait! Who is he talking about?
Tassis: Well Kanro, here we are stuck in a hole. Want to talk about our feelings?
Kanro: Not really.
Tassis: Okay.

[Anansi makes his way to another section of the forest where Alaric and Cala are walking together.]

Cala: Yeah, I can’t help but think about it. I feel like I got married to someone some time ago.
Alaric: I am sure it was just a dream you had, Cala.
Cala: Oh yeah, I did get my new mattress the other day.
Alaric: There you go. A new mattress, a new experience.
Cala: I am glad I have you to tell me what to do, Alaric. You’re a good friend.
Alaric: Well, I am the leader, so. Yeah. I guess.

[Suddenly, a giant spider web snags Alaric and Cala off the ground and raises them into the air. Anansi climbs down from the tree like a spider and examines Alaric and Cala closely.]

Anansi: Hm. Another man. This woman is cute though. Maybe someone for me, but I am shopping for Master Kajura now, so bye!
Alaric: Wait! Master Kajura… The creature who killed Tassis’ parents?!
Anansi: I am surprised you remember such a day. Well, seeya!

[Anansi leaps to a far off location of the forest while Alaric and Cala try to break free of the trap.]

Alaric: I can’t reach my MysticLens.
Cala: Yeah, me either.
Alaric: We’re trapped here.
Cala: I guess so. Wanna talk about our feelings?
Alaric: What is it with you and feelings?

[Anansi hides among the tall grass as an unsuspecting Sinai approaches his hiding place.]

Anansi: Alright, this time, it’s gotta work!

[Sinai walks up and notices a small ceramic doll leaning up against a tree. Sinai is curious and she bends down to examine it.]

Sinai: Huh, I remember when I used to have one of these in my home. I wonder what it’s doing out here?

[As Sinai grasps the ceramic doll, she finds her hands are slowly sticking to the surface of it.]

Sinai: What is this? I’m stuck!

[Anansi jumps out of the tall grass from where he was hiding and surprises Sinai in her current state.]

Anansi: I am sorry, but my Master wants to see you now.
Sinai: Wait, where are you taking me?
Anansi: The Master needs to make a pact with you. An eternal one.
Sinai: Wait, what?!
Anansi: Here we go!
Sinai: But my heart belongs to Kaitoooo!

[Anansi grabs Sinai and leaps away into the distance.]

[Back at the others, Darach has managed to find the location of Alaric and Cala trapped in the tree.]

Darach: Well, well. Isn’t this something?
Alaric: Yes, it’s hilarious. Now we could really use some assistance here.
Darach: No, I don’t think I will.
Cala: What? Why?!
Darach: How does the human saying go? Ah yes, “Alaric and Cala, trapped in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.”
Alaric: Ridiculous…
Cala: Ah! I have always wanted to kiss Alaric! Please!

[Alaric suddenly grabs his MysticLens and uses it to burn through the webbing as he lands safely on the ground. Cala falls from the tree as Alaric catches her in his arms.]

Cala: Am I dreaming?
Alaric: Nothing good ever happens when you dream, Cala. Come on, we need to go find the others.
Cala: Alright, alright.

[Alaric and Cala take off running right past Darach. Darach laughs to himself, and then takes a look towards the skyline where he notices five buildings crumble to dust. Darach puts his Arc Crosshadow back on his back, and begins to walk away into the distance.]

Darach: There is something I must now do.

[Back in a deep cavern, a slithering Kajura is coiled up around a cliff face as Anansi, his subordinate brings Sinai in with him.]

Kajura: You have done well Anansi in bringing me a mortal.
Anansi: I am at your service, Master. Now if you excuse me, I caught a pretty woman who I think I would really be suited for. So… seeya Master!

[Anansi jumps a faraway distance as Kajura begins to coil his spirit around Sinai’s body. Sinai tries to resist but ends up looking into his eyes.]

Kajura: You cannot resissst. Ssssurender your mind to me!
Sinai: I… I… I shall, Master Kajura.
Kajura: Yesssss!

[Back in the Ancient Forest, Alaric has managed to get Kanro and Tassis outside of their trap. Suddenly, they receive an urgent message from Spirit on their MysticLens.]

MysticLens: Shaman, listen well. Sinai has been captured.
Kanro: What? Why?
MysticLens: We think that she is going to be used in a ritual to revive Kajura.
Tassis: Spirit, what do you mean exactly?
MysticLens: In order for Kajura to regain his physical form he needs to siphon the life energy from a mortal source. But because he is trapped in his spirit state, he cannot do it directly.
Alaric: So that must mean…
MysticLens: Yes. The mortal must be willing to surrender their soul to Kajura in order for the pact to be complete.
Cala: So that means…
MysticLens: Yes. Kajura is planning to marry Sinai.
All: What?!
MysticLens: I have traced their location to the cliff face not far from here.
Alaric: Let’s go.
Anansi: I won’t allow you to do that!

[Anansi jumps down from the sky and directly confronts the other shaman. The shaman stand their guard, and transform to face him.]

All: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: FireShaman! AquaShaman! ForestShaman! WindShaman!

[Anansi and the shaman clash against each other as Sinai and Kajura are already ready to begin the ritual.]

Kajura: Do you, mortal human, surrender your soul to offer up to me, Kajura, in order to be granted my physical body through our love?
Sinai: I, Sinai, surrender my soul to you, Kajura, in order for you to be granted your physical body through our love.
Kajura: And now, we must kiss in order to seal our pact for all eternity.
Sinai: Out of my love for Master Kajura, I will kiss him so that our pact of love can be sealed for all eternity.
Kajura: I love you Sinai.
Sinai: And I love you, Master Kajura.

[Sinai and Kajura lean in toward each other, and the closer their lips get to each other the more Sinai’s Shamanic Power begins to leave her body, and enter Kajura’s.]

[Suddenly, A gust of wind blows at Kajura and sends him flying back against the wall. Aeolus is standing at a distance, and then sneaks off by dissipating into the air as the Red and Blue arrive.]

Red: Sinai, stop, don’t do it!
Sinai: I will marry Master Kajura out of love for the sake of his revival.
Blue: It’s no use Alaric, she is under Kajura’s hypnotic control.

[Kajura hisses and unleashes an army of Willwhisps to fight the two shaman.]

Blue: Alaric, I will handle these guys. You find a way to get to Sinai.
Red: I’m on it.

[Green and Pink are back inside the forest busy fighting off Anansi. The two confront each other, but then stumble back as Green and Pink use their Mask Kaitens.]

Both: Mask Kaiten!
MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Dragon of Komodo! ToxiKomodo!
MysticLens: Mask Kaiten! Peacock of Hera! VentusPeacock!

[Their forms change and they rush against Anansi. Anansi uses his multitude of arms to fight the two shaman, but the shaman dodge and flip against his melee of attacks. Camo and Fuchsia manage to grab a hold of all of his arms as they hurl Anansi against a nearby tree. Fuchsia spins and pins Ananshi to the tree using her feathers. Camo rushes up and acid rains down from him onto Anansi which in effect, destroys the tree and falls on top of Anansi. But Anansi rises up again, and unleashes a spectral spider web at the two shaman. Camo stands in front of Fuchsia and burns it down in midair with his venom. Fuchsia then spreads her feather arc behind her and a blizzard of feathers slams into Anansi sending him falling hard back against a tree.]

Camo: Let’s end this.
Fuchsia: Agreed.
MysticLens: Spirit of Hera! Peacock of Lira!
MysticLens: Spirit of Komodo! Dragon of Sokado!
Both: Fire!

[Both shaman unleash a combined attack where a fuchsia flurry of feathers followed by an intense stream of mist venom impact Anansi and he was destroyed in the crossfire.]

Camo: Let’s go. We need to find the others.
Fuchsia: Right.

[Back at the cavern, Blue has Mask Kaitened into Arctic, and is fighting against the swarm of Willwhisps. He slashes with his sword against all of them and manages to successfully destroy all of them as they dissipate into fuses on the ground. Red manages to reach Sinai and tries to make her understand what she is doing.]

Red: Sinai, I need you to focus your mind. Remember the exercise. The more you concentrate, the more you can regain your humanity.

[Red notices that Sinai’s eyes are not showing any signs of changing, so he decides to give her mind a jumpstart.]

Red: This is what I have got to do. Please, forgive me Sinai.

[Red removes his helmet and grabs Sinai by the waist as he pulls her into his arms in a very strong embrace. Alaric leans in, and kisses Sinai with as much intense love as he can give her. Sinai’s mind is suddenly awakened as she comes to a sudden realization.]

Sinai: Wait… I am not in love with Kajura… I’m truly in love with… with Alaric!

[Suddenly the spirit darkness that had possessed Sinai’s body exits her soul as Sinai is suddenly freed from her hypnotic control. Although freed, Sinai still continues to kiss Alaric, as her heart finally knows who it truly belongs to.]

[The other four shaman join Alaric and Sinai as the two break from their kiss and face them.]

Arctic: Woah! Alaric, what happened here?
Alaric: I figured if I could be able to generate enough love to surpass the one Kajura exerted during the ritual I would be able to break his hypnotic control.
Camo: Well, I can see it worked well.
Sinai: Oh you bet it did!

[Kajura soars into the sky, furious that his pact failed him. He shoots a rainbow-colored feather into Anansi’s dead body as Anansi is resurrected again, and grows giant.]

Alaric: Let’s do this!
All: Right!
All: Shamanic Shourai!

[Crimson and Arctic control Kaiten Totem-Oh while Yellow, Green, and Pink control Shaman-Oh.]

Anansi: So, I see Master Kajura found it in his heart to revive me once again. How fun!
Crimson: Enjoy it, because you won’t be around for much longer.
Anansi: We shall see about that.

[Anansi extends his arms and uses them to strike at specific points at Shaman-Oh and Kaiten Totem-Oh freezing them in their place as immobile giants.]

Arctic: Ah! He struck all pressure points. These guys won’t be able to move!
Green: Then what should we do?
Crimson: Let’s do this!

[Kaiten Totem-Oh disassembles and various rotating pieces strike against Anansi as he falls back against the ground.]

Crimson: If one doesn’t work, then let’s try another configuration.

[Kaiten Totem-Oh reassembles into their totem pole cannon formation. They situate themselves directly on top of Anansi as the cannon begins to charge itself with Shamanic Power.]

Both: Kaiten Crush!
All: Shamanic Heart!

[Both sides manage to charge themselves as Anansi is hit both horizontally and vertically at once symbolizing his total destruction. Shaman-Oh and Kaiten Totem-Oh turn around as Anansi explodes behind them.]

All: Yeah! We’ve done it again!
Crimson: That’s another one for the history books guys.
Arctic: Yet another shamanic win!
All: Yeah!

[Inside Abyss Cave, the Ancients observe the scene that had just unfolded upon the Surface World.]

Osiris: Ha! Another failure Kajura never planned on.
Icarus: And what of Aeolus?
Tengu: He is currently following Kajura. He won’t be able to hide from the wind itself.
Osiris: Excellent! Kajura has done one thing for us, and that is speed up the Fated Hourglass.
Tengu: At this rate, humanity is seeing it’s destruction sooner than they expect.
Osiris: With Kajura gone, we can now focus on what is really important: Seeing that those shaman are destroyed!
Tengu: What would you have me do, Master Osiris?
Osiris: It’s time we taught those shaman what true treachery means.

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Alaric: One of us here isn’t who they say they are.
…
Spirit: Until we find out which one of you is a ReliCreature, no one is leaving the forest.
…
Osiris: Now! Do it! Kill him!
…
Tengu: Is this truly the only way to claim victory?
…

TO BE CONTINUED…

## Episode 14- Treason Within Trees

Journals / Personal
[The scene begins with the five shaman recovering after their victory against Kajura’s first ReliCreature, Anansi. Meanwhile, Sinai is talking to Cala about Alaric.]

Sinai: Hey, Cala.
Cala: Yeah?
Sinai: What do you think about Alaric?
Cala: I think he is amazing. I mean the way he always comes through for us and all that. He is such an awesome leader.
Sinai: No, I mean, what do you think of him as a person?
Cala: As a person?
Sinai: Yeah.
Cala: Well, since we have always been fighting the Ancients for so long I haven’t really thought of it that much. Why do you ask?
Sinai: Because… remember just in today’s battle…
Cala: Yes.
Sinai: Remember when he and Kanro came to rescue me from Kajura…
Cala: Yes.
Sinai: And he kissed me…
Cala: Yes.
Sinai: Well,... I think I’m in love with Alaric!
Cala: Really?
Sinai: Yeah…
Cala: Are you kidding me? That’s awesome!
Sinai: It is?
Cala: Yes, of course, you and Alaric should totally get married! I know just how it will be. We will do it in here, no wait, we will do it at a church, and Alaric will wear a tuxedo, and you will wear a wedding dress with a veil, and you two will get married and kiss, and then we will all eat wedding cake that I made, and…
Sinai: Cala wait up!
Cala: What is it? You don’t want to get married?
Sinai: Well, I was thinking about it, and I just don’t know the right way to ask him. I mean, I am asking him to be with me forever, and I just don’t know if he is ready for that yet.
Cala: Really? We have been asleep for 3,000 years and you’re still not ready yet?
Sinai: You have a point there.
Cala: Sinai, love is the most powerful force in the universe, it can do anything! Just imagine what it could be able to do to your own life.
Sinai: Thanks, Cala. You’re a good friend.
Cala: Am I really? Thanks! That means a lot.

[Sinai stares at Alaric from a distance and wonders what she really wants to do. The scene then switches to Abyss Cave, where Tengu is in the underground surveying his army of ReliCreatures.]

Tengu: I require the use of someone cunning, someone who can infiltrate places undetected, and most importantly, has a record of not getting caught while doing it.
Hangyaku: I will do it, sir.
Tengu: Ah, Hangyaku yes. You have been known for infiltration.
Hangyaku: What are your orders, Master Tengu?
Tengu: I need you to infiltrate the secret base of the shaman. I need you to make them feel a true sense of treason.
Hangyaku: I shall engrave the meaning of the word into their dead bodies, Master Tengu.
Tengu: Pray you won’t fail me.

[The scene switches to the Ancient Forest, where all five shaman have gone out to survey the nature around them and to gather some herbs. Hangyaku the ninja of stealth hides amongst the trees in hopes of catching a shaman wandering away from the others. He sets his eyes on one, and attacks them instantly taking their form.]

Alaric: Alright guys, it’s time to head on back!
Kanro: Phew! Okay, I got some good herbs right here!
Tassis: I actually found some Kasib berries!
Sinai: I took in the sunshine!
Cala: And I… went with her!

[The five shaman enter the tree only to find Darach waiting on the inside.]

Alaric: Darach! How did you get in here?
Darach: Oh please, I could get in here with my eyes closed, you live in a tree for crying out loud.
Spirit: I summoned Darach here for a very important reason.
Kanro: Oh yeah, and why is that?
Spirit: To put it simply, one of you is a ReliCreature.
All: What?!
Spirit: And until we find out who that is, none of you will be allowed to leave the forest.
Alaric: So one of us isn’t who they say they are?
Kanro: I don’t believe this. We all know each other too well to be set against each other like this.
Darach: And that is where I come in. You see, I don’t know any of you. So it will be a lot easier for me to see which one of you is lying.
Cala: Wait… that doesn’t even make any sense.
Darach: Exactly! You have past the first test. ReliCreatures are known to have a very reduced sense, and don’t have as heightened instincts as shaman do.

[Darach suddenly kicks at Cala and Cala dodges, as Darach begins to fight the other shaman through close combat. They all manage to successfully fend off Darach’s attacks and push him back against the base’s walls.]

Darach: Good. So you all know how to defend yourselves, which is good. Then again, all ReliCreatures know how to defend themselves.
Tassis: So what now?
Darach: Now comes a test of trust. Spirit should know you better than anyone here.
Spirit: Very well, the first is Alaric.
Alaric: What is it?
Spirit: Alaric, what is the correct way to cure a deep wound using herbs?
Alaric: Take a Ginga Herb, peel of 2 to 3 leaves, soak them in mud, then wrap the wound in the liquid excreted afterwards.
Spirit: Correct. Gross, but correct.
Kanro: Wait, how come we don’t know Spirit isn’t the ReliCreature, and he is just selecting people who he knows can be easily manipulated.
Darach: How interesting of you to say that Kanro, because usually the first thing a ReliCreature would do would be to point a finger at someone other than himself.

[Everyone suddenly looks at Kanro, as Kanro stands firmly in place.]

Kanro: Look, you guys can say all you want. But can you honestly say that you don’t feel the slightest bit nervous here?
Sinai: True. I mean, just the idea of one of us not being who they say they are, leads me to question a lot of things actually.
Darach: It’s interesting that you say that Sinai, because the first thing a ReliCreature would do is to create mistrust amongst other people.

[Everyone suddenly looks at Sinai, as Sinai stands firmly in place.]

[The scene switches to Abyss Cave, where Osiris and the others are observing the events that are unfolding through the eyes of their ReliCreature.]

Osiris: I see an opening. One of them has their back exposed.
Tengu: Are you doing what I think you are doing?
Osiris: It’s the only way to win! Do it! Kill him now!
Tengu: Master Osiris, if we kill them now that means our cover will be exposed.
Osiris: Does it look like I care anymore? These shaman have caused me more bad than they have caused me good. We can rule without them!
Tengu: Is this truly what you wish to be known as? The traitor and backstabber, just like Kajura was? Is this the only way to victory?
Osiris: ... You are right. I… I don’t know what I was thinking, I… I almost lost myself.
Tengu: Now we know how you feel. Now we finally know just how much Kajura has changed you.
Osiris: Allow me to… recollect my thoughts…
Tengu: Yes, Master. I will continue to survey them.

[Osiris leaves the center room as he returns to his own throne. Osiris is mentally conflicted, and he begins to wonder if he could potentially become another Kajura.]

[The scene returns to the Ancient Forest, where Sinai is now being confronted by the others.]

Sinai: I still stand by my point here. We are going to need to question everyone here, so there is a pretty good reason to be mistrusting.
Tassis: That’s a fair point too. I mean, we are only human, so it’s natural for us to make mistakes.
Darach: You know, I’m surprised to hear you say that Tassis. Because what would a ReliCreature do to make people think that they aren’t one, is to play the human card. Because we know that one of you here, isn’t human at all.

[Everyone suddenly looks at Tassis, as Tassis stands firmly in place.]

Tassis: Okay, I know it sounds weird, but being human is what leads us to think that one of us isn’t human. Humanity is what is going to help us decide here.
Cala: You’re right. I know it sounds crazy, but we need to single out someone here.
Darach: Funny you should say that Cala. Because, if I was a ReliCreature, I am sure I would single out someone first, before anything else.

[Everyone suddenly looks at Cala, as Cala stands firmly in place.]

Cala: Well, it’s true! I didn’t make that up! That’s what it’s going to come down to here.
Alaric: This is getting ridiculous. How do we even know that any of us is a ReliCreature. I mean for all we know, Darach could just be trying to set us up to create mistrust in us.

[Everyone suddenly looks at Darach, as Darach stands firmly in place.]

Darach: Alright. I can understand why you would think that. I have not been the most trustworthy person. I am probably the last person you would expect to be here right now. But one thing is certain: I don’t want to divide you, I want to defeat you.
Alaric: And after all those times that we have defeated you in the past, huh?
Darach: You know Alaric, I would like to hear you name one.
Alaric: How about when we first got the Kaiten MystiClaw. That was the time when you first challenged me to a one on one fight, and I first became Crimson in order to defeat you.
Darach: Darn, if you were a ReliCreature, you couldn’t possibly have known that!
Sinai: And what about that time you decided to help us against those ghosts. Remember when I first got my Mask Kaiten? You were there too.
Darach: That I was. It doesn’t mean anything, though.
Cala: And when I first got my Mask Kaiten, you appeared right after that!
Darach: Don’t judge me.
Tassis: And what about me, huh? What exactly were you doing when me and the other shaman were trapped in our Dream World weddings?
Darach: I was… waiting patiently for your return.
Kanro: Of course you were. Because there was no way that you would allow for someone else to defeat us. No, it had to be you.
Darach: What are you trying to say?
All: We all think you are the ReliCreature!
Darach: That’s insane. You know how my powers come from me and me alone.
Tassis: You now, come to think of it, we actually don’t.
Sinai: Yeah, where do you get your powers from Darach?
Cala: Who are you? Where did you come from? Why do you attack us?
Darach: If I had a logical reason, I would give it to you.
Kanro: Surely you must know why you are here, right?
Darach: That s none of your concern.
Tassis: Then what is? You show up, you look just like us, you have MystiClaws in the form of arrows, you use highly advanced Shamanic Power, and you have your own mecha, just like us.
Sinai: What do you have to hide? Are you getting nervous? Are you scared?
Darach: There!

[Darach suddenly grabs an arrow from his quiver and injects it directly into Sinai. The magic enters Sinai’s body, and forces the ReliCreature within out of it’s disguise!]

Hangyaku: Agh! But… that’s impossible! How did you know?!
Darach: It was easy. Everyone began to ask me very logical and reasonable questions. I knew that if I was able to take the heat for as long as I did, eventually the true ReliCreature would expose itself by trying to taunt me with emotional concerns.
Cala: Wow… that was actually pretty impressive.
Kanro: I got to give it to you Darach, that was a smart move.
Darach: Don’t push your luck. There is still one of you missing, where is she?
Hangyaku: Like I would tell you!
Alaric: You will. Or you will suffer for it.
Hangyaku: Try me.
Alaric: Don’t mind if I do.
Alaric: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: FireShaman!

[Alaric transforms and then rushes out the base to cover the entire expansion of the forest. Hangyaku tries to follow him in pursuit, but the other three shaman transform and take him outside.]

MysticLens: AquaShaman! ForestShaman! WindShaman!
Hangyaku: You think you can defeat me? I am a ninja!
Green: And is that supposed to scare us? We nearly took out a friend because of you.
Blue: And we’re about to make you pay for it.
Pink: Ready guys?
Blue: Let’s go!

[The three shaman run up to Hangyaku, and Hangyaku quickly evades their attacks. He jumps to one side and pelts them with a storm of shuriken. The shaman recoil, but stand their ground. Blue uses his HoofClaw to shoot at Hangyaku as well as counter some shuriken. Pink uses her FrillShield to cut down Hangyaku’s own speed. Hangyaku rolls onto the ground as Green draws out his ViperWhip and slashes upwards attacks at Hangyaku throwing him back. Hangyaku generates shadow clones of himself as they all attack and slash at the shaman from every angle as the shaman cannot keep up with all of them at once.]

[Deep in the forest, Red manages to detect a trail of Sinai’s own Shamanic Power. He follows it to a trench where he sees Sinai being dangled upside down above a rushing river with jagged rocks at the bottom. Red draws out his TalonSword and uses it to scale down the face of the cliff. As soon as he grabs Sinai, he lets go of the cliff face, and propels himself to the other side, landing safely on the other side of the pass.]

Sinai: How come I am always the one getting captured?
Red: Maybe if you payed more attention to your surroundings, it would be a lot harder.
Sinai: Will you always be there to save me?
Red: I certainly will try. We have friends who need our help.
Sinai: Right.
Sinai: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: LandShaman!
Red: Alright, let’s go.

[Back at the fight, the other shaman are lying on the floor about to be defeated, when suddenly an arrow hits Hangyaku in the back. Hangyaku looks around to see Darach shooting at him with his multitude of Spirit Arrows.]

Blue: Darach, why do this?
Darach: No reason, really. I just hate to see a grown man cry.
Darach: Shamanic Transcendance.

[Darach shoots an arrow into the sky as the gust of wind envelops his body and transforms him into MysticDusk. Dusk draws out two arrows and uses them as fighting sticks as he engages Hangyaku in close combat. Red and Yellow then appear, and join the others in recovering.]

Red: What’s going on here?
Green. Don’t worry, I think Darach’s got it under control.
Yellow: Is he on our side?
Blue: Who knows? I can never understand a word he’s saying.
Red: I’m going in. Lend me your weapons.
Pink: Sure. I’m sure not using it.
Red: LifeSaber!

[Red combines all the weapons as he runs towards Hangyaku wielding the LifeSaber all alone. Dusk steps to one side, as Red slashes continuously at Hangyaku, not giving him a chance to respond.]

Red: Darach, all at once.
Dusk: You are really something, aren’t you?
Red: I think you’ll come to find that in all of us.
Red: LifeSaber! Shamanic Slash!
Dusk: Arch Crosshadow! Last Arrow!

[Red slashes at Hangyaku with the LifeSaber as Shamanic Power generates a powerful spirit aura slash. Dusk then shoots his Last Arrow that surrounds itself in dark spirit energy. Both attacks impact Hangyaku directly as Hangyaku explodes behind them.]

Red: Darach, I gotta say, you came through for us today. So why don’t you join us?
Dusk: I can’t.
Red: Why not?
Dusk: I don’t think you’re ready yet.
Red: What do you mean by “ready yet”?
Dusk: Grow stronger. Exceed your limits. Then face me in battle. That is the only way you will be able to defeat me.

[Dusk shoots an arrow at Red’s feet as he disappears from where he was standing.]

Red: But why would we want to defeat you?

[In Abyss Cave, Tengu unravels yet another Fuumetsu Scroll and unleashes the kanji upon Hangyaku’s defeated body.]

Hangyaku: Master, I shall use this life well.
???: You want to see just what it takes to defeat me?

[Dusk Dai-Oh flies at incredible speed from out of nowhere and slams into Hangyaku sending him flying back against a rock formation.]

Dusk: Here’s a little taste.
Hangyaku: You will suffer for this!
Dusk: Show me.

[Hangyaku faces Dusk Dai-Oh in battle. Dusk Dai-Oh strikes at Hangyaku who doubles back and multiplies into his various clones. His clones come and strike at Dusk Dai-Oh from various locations, but Dusk Dai-Oh flies up into the sky, and sweeps around in a circular motion destroying the shadow duplicates. Hangyaku falls back as he hits the ground, but Dusk Dai-Oh grabs him and flies him into the sky.]

Dusk: Oh trust me, it’s not over yet.
Dusk: Dusk Dai-Oh! Wing Dive!

[Dusk Dai-Oh drops Hangyaku as he is falling towards the ground. Dusk Dai-Oh envelops himself in a dark spirit energy and flies at incredible speed towards Hangyaku who hits him before he even hits the ground!]

[But it was a shadow duplicate, as the real Hangyaku silently sneaks behind him, but Dusk Dai-Oh throws him back with his wing cannons. Hangyaku can’t handle the recoil damage, and explodes behind Dusk Dai-Oh.]

[The other shaman on the ground look up at Dus Dai-Oh in astonishment as Dusk Dai-Oh gets up and flies off into the distance.]

Pink: Alaric, what did Darach tell you just know?
Red: He asked me… to defeat him.
Green: Defeat him? Why?
Red: I don’t know. I just know that he is serious about us getting stronger.
Blue: But why he wants us to get stronger, that’s the real question isn’t it?
Red: There is a lot we don’t know about Darach. I just hope that when the time comes, he will come through for us in the end.
Yellow: Well, there is no need to feel sad about it. I got a nasty wound on my arm thanks to Hangyaku when he attacked me.
Red: Haha! No worries. I know just how to cure one of those.

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

## Episode 15- Life or Death

[The scene begins inside Abyss Cave where Osiris has contemplated his actions, and has decided to come to a conclusion.]

Osiris: Zacterion!
Zacterion: Yes, Master Osiris?
Osiris: I heard that you possess a… unique ability.
Zacterion: Indeed I do.
Osiris: I need you to do something for me.
Zacterion: Be it whatever, my Master.
Osiris: Those five shaman… eliminate them for me.
Zacterion: I shall not falter in my will, sire.
Osiris: Please, leave me now.
Zacterion: Ah.

[Zacterion rises and leaves Osiris as Osiris now is forced to consider if he is truly able to continue.]

Osiris: Kajura has revived… and I don’t know how close I am to finding him again…

[Osiris holds up a small torn and burnt photograph so he can look at it more closely.]

Osiris: Everyday, I can sense you… So where are you then?... My brother…

[The scene switches to the city where the shaman are investigating a zone that has been quarantined by the city.]

Alaric: What is this? Some kind of spore?
Sinai: I wouldn’t know. I have never seen a plant like this before.
Tassis: Me either. It’s unlike anything in the forest.
Cala: Guys… there’s more where that came from.

[The five shaman look over the hill to see a vast expansion of the same spores all over.]

Cala: What do you think they mean?
Kanro: Whatever it is, I don’t think it’s good.
Sinai: You don’t think?
Kanro: No. There are too many of them in one place. And they appeared overnight.
Tassis: What should we do.
Alaric: I don’t think we should approach them until we find out exactly what they are.
Tassis: Let’s take a sample first. I think if we find out more then we might be able to handle it.
Kanro: Right. But be careful.

[Tassis crouches down to collect one of the spores when suddenly the spore opens and small individual spores attach to the shaman’s wrists!]

Sinai: Ah! What is this?!
Tassis: I can’t remove it!
Kanro: Way to go, Tassis.
Tassis: Hey, don’t blame me, I’m not the one who agreed to get a sample.
Cala: Guys, focus. We need to find a way to get these off of us.

[The shaman begin to pull at the spores but whatever they do it doesn’t work. The spores only tighten their grip on their wrists as Zacterion appears from the grove behind them.]

Zacterion: So, I see you fell for my trap.
Alaric: Trap?
Zacterion: Yes. In order to accomplish the wish of Master Osiris, I am willing to bargain your lives.
Kanro: And what makes you think we would do that?
Zacterion: Because… if you don’t, then the entire world gets it.
Alaric: What do you mean?
Zacterion: These spores will release a deadly pollen that will destroy everything on the planet!
All: What?!
Zacterion: That being said, there is only two known ways to remove it. Defeat me, or defeat yourselves.
Sinai: Defeat ourselves?
Zacterion: It’s you or the world shaman. You choose! Hahahahahaha!
Tassis: I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t wanna wait around for the answer. Let’s go!
All: Right!
All: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: FireShaman! AquaShaman! LandShaman! ForestShaman! WindShaman!

[The shaman all transform as they run at Zacterion. Zacterion evades their attacks, and then splits himself into a multitude of vines that wrap up the shaman as they are lifted into the air. Zacterion then throws the shaman back, but not before draining a significant amount of their own power. The shaman land hitting the floor as they are not able to hold onto their transformations. Zacterion laughs as he slithers away into the distance. The shaman lie on the ground unable to move in frustration and defeat.]

[From high above, Darach silently watches them from a faraway tree. He stares at them, then he turns away, as he has decided not to help them this time.]

[Back in the Ancient Forest, the shaman urgently consult with spirit to find a way to remove the spores.]

Kanro: How much time do we have?
Spirit: 24 hours.
All: 24 hours?!
Cala: Is there no way to remove this thing?
Alaric: Let’s try it.

[Alaric uses his fire shamanism to try to burn the spore off, but the spore is unaffected. Kanro tries to freeze it off, but the spore itself thaws out. Sinai tries to cut at it but the spore’s vines are much too tough and hard. Tassis tries to poison the spore, but to no avail. Cala simply tries to bite through it, yet that doesn’t work either.]

Alaric: Spirit, is it really true what he said? Do we really have to die in order to save the world?
Spirit: I am afraid so. This is a parasitic spore. Meaning the more it remains on you, the more power it drains from you.
Cala: He said that the pollen that comes from it would be enough to destroy the world!
Spirit: Sadly, that is true.
Kanro: Just what can we do?!
Spirit: I am sorry, but this time, there is nothing that I can do to stop this.
Tassis: What do you mean nothing?! We have survived crocodiles, ghosts, fire breathing lions, and you’re telling me that our end comes with this spore?!
Alaric: Tassis, calm down. Attacking people isn’t going to change anything.
Tassis: Then what do we do, huh? Should we just sit around here thinking of ineffective ways to solve this problem? Are we just going to let the world die?
Alaric: Of course not!
Tassis: Then what then? Because I really don’t want to die, when there is an army of Ancients down there just waiting to destroy the Surface World!
Alaric: I need some time.

[Alaric gets up and exits the forest walking silently into the distance. The other four shaman look at him leave, amazed that their once great leader might not know what to do.]

Kanro: Guys, as much as I hate to say this, Tassis is right. We cannot let all those people die.
Sinai: So what are you saying, Kanro? That we should just destroy ourselves? What wrong have we done to the Earth?
Cala: (begins to cry) Guys… I don’t want to die…

[Sinai comforts Cala as Cala cries deeply into her friend’s shoulder. Kanro and Tassis look at each other in abrupt silence, not knowing what to say, or what to do.]

[The scene switches to Alaric, who has reached a faraway cliff and is looking out towards the sunset over the ocean. The light of the sun glows a bright orange-red on his face as a single tear runs down the side of Alaric’s face.]

Alaric: The Earth truly is beautiful… I had truly forgotten just how amazing it was…

[Alaric reaches into his vest pocket and pulls out the Kaiten MystiClaw. He holds it in his hand as he stares outwards towards the ocean in front of him.]

Alaric: We made this together… by combining our spirits together… We said, that there was nothing that we couldn’t do as a team…
Alaric: Father,... if you can hear me now… I need your guidance… for I am lost…
Alaric: Father,... you once told me that the light of the rising sun is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen in nature… So tell me… does the setting sun look just as beautiful as well?

[Alaric crouches down at the top of the cliff. He stares directly at the setting sun with tears streaking down the side of his face.]

Alaric: If there was ever a time where you told me I needed to be strong for others, because you knew that one day I would have to lead them into battle, I would have said you were crazy and would have run off into the forest where I felt safe.
Alaric: But you knew, didn’t you? You knew that I was destined to be something great. That one day, I would shine as bright as the rising sun itself. And that the light that would come from me would be cast over every civilization on Earth, guiding them towards their Golden Age.
Alaric: I ask you, not as a shaman, or a follower, or a leader, but as a son… are we not destined to transcend this time?

[Alaric gazes at the setting sun once more as it fades from the horizon leaving Alaric’s face covered in the shadows. Alaric closes his eyes and sits there in the darkness alone. Silently watching him from above is Darach. Darach stares at him for a moment, and then whispers to himself.]

Darach: “With every setting sun comes the rise of a full moon... Find comfort in the shadows, for their protection will guide you towards the light of another rising sun.”

[Darach finishes his chant as he slowly turns away from Alaric. He glances back at him slightly as he whispers his final words.]

Darach: I believe in you… Shaman of the Rising Sun…

[Darach vanishes into the shadows of the night as Alaric sits silently with his eyes closed at the edge of the cliff as nighttime slowly creeps over the landscape.]

[The next day, the four shaman awake from their long night, and wonder if Alaric ever came back last night.]

Kanro: No, he didn’t.
Cala: Poor Alaric. He must feel the worst out of all of us, not knowing what to do.
Tassis: Well guys,… what should we do?
Sinai: I… I don’t know…

[The four shaman stand in silence in a circle when they suddenly hear a voice coming from their MysticLens. It’s Alaric’s voice.]

MysticLens: Guys… would you mind coming here please?
Sinai: Alaric? Where were you? We were all so worried about you!
MysticLens: I have had some time to think it over, and I think I know what we must do.
Kanro: Alright, let’s go.
All: Right.

[The four shaman reluctantly exit the forest as Wind appears to talk to Spirit.]

Wind: Spirit… have they really come this far for it all to end here?
Spirit: I cannot say…
Wind: Then what can you say?
Spirit: If Alaric is thinking of what I am thinking,... then I couldn’t be more proud to have been their mentor.
Wind: Will they be able to make it out this time?
Spirit: I certainly hope that whatever they do, is for the best.
Wind: For the best of them, or for the best of the world?
Spirit: That’s for them to decide…
Wind: Oh…

[Spirit and Wind gaze out the exit of the forest wondering exactly what the five shaman will do.]

[The four shaman meet Alaric at the edge of the cliff where the sun has just begun to rise.]

Cala: Alaric! Thank goodness you’re okay!
Alaric: It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Sinai: What is?
Alaric: The rising sun…

[The five shaman silently gaze at the horizon as the rising sun begins to mark the start of another day.]

Sinai: Wait… Alaric you don’t mean…
Alaric: My father once told me, that one day I would be just like the rising sun. And that the light that would come from me would guide civilizations towards their Golden Age.
Tassis: It sure is beautiful.
Alaric: I realized… that a world without the rising sun could not exist, as time itself could not be recorded. We are that rising sun. The five shaman that transcend time… when have we not said that we could do it?
Kanro: Alaric…
Alaric: And here we are now, together, wondering if our lives are worth more than the entire world’s. The Earth needs their protectors,... but the Earth also needs their people. Without people, civilization could never have started. Time wouldn’t even exist.
Tassis: So you’re saying, that we should sacrifice ourselves for the sake of the world?
Alaric: What I’m saying is… is that the Earth is beautiful because of the people that helped build it. What we do today, will change the course of history forever.

[Cala, Kanro, Tassis, and Sinai all walk up and hold hands as they stare at the rising sun, now knowing what they must do.]

Cala: I am going to miss you guys.
Sinai: I love you all so much.
Tassis: We have done so much together, I just hope that the Earth thinks so too.
Kanro: I wouldn’t have preferred to do this with any other people.
Alaric: I know how you feel.
Alaric: Follow me.
Tassis: Follow you where?
Alaric: To space…

[Suddenly Shaman-Oh rises from the cliff base in front of them as he towers above the other shaman. The shaman quickly get inside Shaman-Oh, as Shaman-Oh lifts off of the ground and begins to fly faster and faster towards space. Shaman-Oh begins to fly directly at the sun, where the center of gravity is immensely strong.]

Alaric: Open the exit.
Cala: No, we’ll die!
Alaric: Trust me, hold on as hard as you possibly can.
Kanro: We can make it through, together.
Tassis: Right.
Sinai: I’ll do it.
Alaric: Open it up.

[The exit from Shaman-Oh opens as the intense vacuum of space begins to suck everything into the core of the sun! The cockpit begins to rapidly drain of oxygen, and the shaman slowly, one by one begin to lose consciousness. The spores attached to the shaman’s wrists slowly lose their grip, and are dragged into the sun’s own gravitational pull! Shaman-Oh rapidly closes the exit as oxygen begins to slowly fill up the lungs of the other shaman.]

Cala: \*gasp\* We… we did it.
Sinai: We… we’re alive?
Kanro: Yes… we’re alive!
Tassis: This… this is crazy!
Alaric: Looks like… we live to fight another day…
Alaric: Now… let’s go home.

[Shaman-Oh slowly drifts back down to Earth, where the sun is beginning to mark the start of another day.]

[Back on Earth, Zacterion is wondering just why his spores failed to work as Darach silently appears behind him. Zacterion turns around rapidly, as he suddenly senses his presence.]

Zacterion: You! Who are you?!
Darach: Your worst nightmare.

[Zacterion lunges his vines at Darach but Darach’s rapid arrow shooting quickly eliminates all of them. Zacterion turns himself into a bunch of vines and wraps up Darach in an effort to drain his power. Darach draws out a single arrow and jabs it into Zacterion. Zacterion shrieks in pain as the acid from within the arrow quickly burns through his body. Darach lands on the ground aiming his Last Arrow finisher directly at Zacterion.]

Zacterion: Wait… wait!
Darach: This is for my friends.

[Darach shoots the Last Arrow finisher that cuts directly through Zacterion’s body, as Zacterion explodes behind him. Darach looks at the sky to see a descending Shaman-Oh as he smiles, then silently slips away into the shadows.]

[Shaman-Oh lands on the Earth as the five shaman disembark from their mecha, and walk together towards the forest. Finally united as friends, and as shaman.]

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Darach: You are here today for one reason, and one reason only: to fight me.
…
Alaric: What is the boy doing here?
Darach: If you defeat me, you would have proven yourselves worthy to us.
…
Kanro: And if we lose?
Darach: Then your Shamanic Power will be taken from you.
…
Red: No… I don’t want to destroy a friend…
Darach: Show me your worst.
…
Kajura: I have finally found my body…
…

## Episode 16- Fight of Shaman

by SpecialForm12, May 29, 2016, 5:24:16 PM
Journals / Personal
[The scene begins in a desolate desert plain. There the wind is slowly blowing and the sun is beating down. Several old sticks and staffs are wedged into the ground with torn flags that have gone with age are flowing in the wind. We see in the distance the shadow of Darach slowly walking towards the battlefield, and on the opposite end, the five shaman are slowly approaching as well. Standing in the center, is the small boy from the forest.]

Darch: You are here today for one reason, and one reason only: to fight me.
Alaric: What is the boy doing here?
Darach: If you defeat me, you would have proven yourselves worthy to us.
Kanro: And if we lose?
Darach: Then your Shamanic Power will be taken from you.
Alaric: Why do this? Why now?
Darach: I think the better question is, why not do this? Why not now?
Tassis: What are you trying to accomplish by doing this?
Darach: Making you stronger. Nothing more, nothing less.
Kanro: Why go so far to as to fight us to do that?
Darach: I have already done everything else.
Sinai: What do you mean, everything else?
Darach: I instigated all of your Mask Kaitens.
Cala: How so?
Darach: It was simple. When I first appeared, I fought Alaric with every intention to destroy him. That led you guys to forge the Kaiten MystiClaw in the first place… according to legend.
Kanro: According to legend?
Darach: After Cala unlocked her Mask Kaiten, I appeared soon after to test how much you had grown.
Cala: And then?
Darach: When you were all trapped within that ghost realm, well… that was all my own illusion, created so that Sinai would unlock her own Mask Kaiten.
Sinai: What?!
Darach: You almost didn’t survive that one.
Tassis: Then what did you do?
Darach: When Morpheus returned, and locked you all inside the Dream World, I figured it would be a perfect way for Tassis to unlock his Mask Kaiten as well. I was just there to make sure Morpheus didn’t kill you once the job was done.
Kanro: So you gave us back our powers?
Darach: Correct.
Alaric: Why?
Darach: Simple. I need, we need you five to grow stronger than you already are. Unless you defeat me, you will not be strong enough to harness your true power. Let alone be able to see your true time.
Alaric: Our… true time?
Darach: Yes. Now that you understand that…

[Darach draws out his Arch Crosshadow and loads a single spirit arrow into it.]

Darach: ...it’s time you showed me what you got.

[Alaric and the others ready themselves as the young boy raises his hand into the air. A dark sphere of purple light lifts into the air and spreads over the battlefield encasing everyone within a dome of ancient energy.]

Sinai: What is the meaning of this?
Darach: This… is your final exam. Win, you get something extraordinary. Lose, and well… let’s just say you don’t want to lose.
Alaric: Guys,... this is serious. If Darach wants a fight so badly, then he’s got one.
Kanro: Yeah. He messed with the wrong group of shaman!
Sinai: I’m not gonna give him any leverage!
Tassis: Me either! It’s time we showed him who’s really in control of our fate.
Cala: He won’t get away this time!
Darach: Show me your worth Mysticjars!
All: Shamanic Transcendance!
MysticLens: FireShaman! AquaShaman! LandShaman! ForestShaman! WindShaman!

[The six shaman transform as different colors of light envelops the inside of the battlefield. The light and dust dissipates as six shaman now stand facing each other ready to begin battle!]

Red: Shaman of the Sun! MysticRed!
Blue: Shaman of the Deep! MysticBlue!
Yellow: Shaman of the Land! MysticYellow!
Green: Shaman of the Jungle! MysticGreen!
Pink: Shaman of the Wind! MysticPink!
Red: The five shaman that transcend time! Shaman Sentai!
All: Mysticjar!
Dusk: I guess I shouldn’t be left out.
Dusk: Shaman of the Shadows! MysticDusk!
Red: Let’s charge him!
All: Go!
Dusk: Please…

[The five shaman clash against Dusk as the two begin fighting against each other. Red slashes at Dusk with his TalonSword, but Dusk deflects it with his Arch Crosshadow which he then slashes across Red’s body. Red flies back as Dusk slashes continuously with his Arch Crosshadow slashing the other shaman back against the ground. The shaman retaliate, by Green trying to lash him with his ViperWhip but Dusk rolls to one side and shoots Green back. Blue and Pink shoot at him with their HoofClaw and FrillSield weapons which Dusk manages to deflect and then slash back with his Arch Crosshadow sending the shaman flying backwards.]

Dusk: Is that all you can do?

[Dusk looks down to see the floor beneath him turn to quicksand. He looks up to see Yellow has Mask Kaitened into Amber. Amber has her hand against the ground as she has used her Kaiten to turn the ground beneath Dusk into quicksand that is quickly dragging him lower into the ground. Dusk smirks as he shoots a single spirit arrow into the ground that heats up the sand to a point where it shatters into glass shards. Dusk flies up against the sky and shoots several arrows at Amber who gets hit and is sent flying back. But as Dusk hits the ground, he his pushed back by a charging power as Red has Mask Kaitened into Crimson who had rammed him against a wall before Dusk wall climbs flipping over Crimson and shooting him in the back with multiple arrows. Crimson rolls on the ground just as Camo and Fuchsia crawl over and shoots at Dusk with a rapid-fire of venom gas and dart feathers. Dusk is startled by the attack as it sends him back as Arctic comes up from behind him and slashes him across his back with his sword. Dusk rolls behind on the ground as the five shaman stand over him.]

Dusk: So.. this is what can happen when you get serious?
Crimson: Didn’t you underestimate us?
Dusk: No… not at all. This is good… very good.
Camo: Why is he happy?
Fuchsia: I don’t know, but it’s kinda creeping me out a little.
Dusk: Now… finish me!

[Dusk surrounds himself in a dark aura of shadow energy as he flies at the shaman. He hits them multiple times as they fall back against the ground. Dusk turns around and points his Last Arrow finisher at the shaman, but notices one is missing as soon as Crimson grabs the arrow from his Arch Crosshadow and thrusts it back into Dusk. Dusk is startled as the attack sends him flying back, hitting the barrier. Dusk is shocked by the force and hits the ground. The shaman stand above him and pull their MysticLens.]

MysticLens: Spirit of Minos! The Bull of Tauros!
MysticLens: Spirit of Hera! The Peacock of Lira!
MysticLens: Spirit of Sphynx! The Lynx of Jinx!
MysticLens: Spirit of Komodo! The Dragon of Sokado!
MysticLens: Spirit of Akamai! The Swordfish of Tohora!
Dusk: Uh oh.
All: Five Great Spirits! Transcendental Thrash!

[The five shaman launch their attacks directly at Dusk as Dusk ducks down and shoots a single Last Arrow finisher directly at the shaman’s bodies! The two attacks hit, as a massive explosion of light and power completely shatters the energy barrier. The smoke dissipates as the only victors still standing are Red and Dusk. Red lunges forward as he easily tackles Dusk and pins him to the ground.]

Red: How… how did you survive that attack?
Dusk: Oh how you would like to know…
Boy: پایان او
Red: What?
Boy: پایان او

[Darach is suddenly forced out of his transformation by the boy. Red stands over him in the ideal position to strike.]

Red: No… I don’t want to destroy a friend…
Darach: Show me your worst.

[The other four shaman look at Red towering over Darach, clearly having the advantage. Red thrusts his TalonSword into him as Darach closes his eyes.]

All: Ah!

[Darach slowly opens his eyes to see the TalonSword only inches away from his face, thrusted into the ground. Darach looks slowly up into Alaric’s eyes. Alaric stares back down at his.]

Boy: چرا توقف کردی

[Alaric cancels his transformation as he slowly stands up.]

Alaric: Because… that’s not what he would do.
All: Huh?
Darach: What do you mean?
Alaric: No matter how many times you attacked us, no matter how many times you appeared to fight us, none of those times you were going to destroy us.
Darach: But… I don’t understand… I was supposed to be destroyed by you… that was the plan!
Alaric: Plans change, and so can we. What do you say Darach? Want to join us?
Darach: …

[Darach silently gazes over to the young boy standing in the distance. The young boy looks back at him and nods. Darach looks back at the others in astonishment.]

Darach: Was this truly how it was meant to happen?
Alaric: I won’t stand in your way. But ultimately, six shaman are better than five.
Kanro: You know more about our past than we do.
Sinai: You helped us out countless times before.
Tassis: You made us grow stronger.
Cala: You are a very worthy opponent.
Alaric: But more than all that... you’re our friend. If we stand together against the darkness, then we can overcome anything they send at us.
Darach: But… Master… why did the ritual fail?
Boy: آن شکست نیست. آن کار می کرد کاملا
Darach: Then that must mean…
Alaric: That this was all intended not just for us, but for you as well.
Darach: “With every setting sun comes the rise of a full moon…”
Alaric: “Find comfort in the shadows, for their protection will guide you towards the light of another rising sun.”
Darach: How did you…?
Alaric: Your words comforted me, Darach. They reached my heart, and my spirit.
Darach: You guys… would forgive someone like me?
Sinai: Forgiveness is the first step towards redemption.
Tassis: If we didn’t forgive each other, we would live with hatred in our hearts.
Cala: And if we want to transcend this time, we need you to join us.
Darach: You know… after all those years alone in the darkness… I truly did see the light.
Alaric: You did?
Darach: That light… it came from you.
Cala: Aaaw, Darach!

[Everyone comes up to give Darach a giant group hug. Darach embraces everyone as everyone is now united as a team, as friends, and as shaman.]

Darach: Thank you guys, for showing me out of the darkness.
Alaric: You did that yourself, Darach. Because you trusted your own spirit, it guided you towards your destiny.
Darach: That reminds me, now that you have grown stronger than I hoped for, there is something that me and Master need to show you.
Alaric: Master?
Darach: Yes. My Master Anubis. He guided me towards you, and showed me my true time.
Cala: And what is it that you wanted to show us?
Darach: In time, we will show you. For now, there is much you need to do.
Alaric: So you won’t be coming with us, then?
Darach: No. There is still something that I must do.
Kanro: Whenever you need us then, you know your way in already.
Darach: That I do.

[The five shaman whip up a sandstorm that transports them away from the battlefield. Darach silently walks back towards the forest after the young boy disappears behind him.]

[The scene transitions to the Abyss Cave, where Osiris, Icarus, and Tengu have been summoned by Osiris to his pyramid in the center of the room.]

Tengu: Why did you summon us, Master Osiris?
Icarus: Yeah, what’s so important?
Osiris: I wasn’t able to do this before Olmec was taken from us. And to make sure that never happens again, I need you to do this for me.
Tengu: And that would be?
Osiris: I need you to put your life energy into this pyramid.
Icarus: What?! No! Do you realize what that would do to our bodies?
Osiris: I know. Which is why I will replace your lack of power with my own.
Tengu: Why do this to yourself? You will substantially weaken your own body, you could even die.
Osiris: This is all essential for me stopping Kajura. I fear that Aeolus won’t be enough to contain him.
Tengu: If that is what you wish, sir.
Icarus: Well, if I still get some power in return I guess.
Osiris: Let’s begin.

[Osiris, Tengu, and Icarus all place their hands on Osiris’ pyramid as it begins to drain their life energy. Osiris at the same time begins to send his own energy into Tengu and Icarus as they both become replenished with newfound sources of power. Osiris stumbles to the ground as the power drain has taken a significant toll on his own body.]

Tengu: You overdid it Master.
Osiris: No… trust me… I would rather lose my own life… then lose yours…
Icarus: Why do I feel there is a reason behind all this?
Osiris: There is, and I promise you, no matter what happens, you will return to me.
Tengu: Master, I don’t understand.

[Osiris collapses onto the floor as Tengu and Icarus carry him off to be attended to. Osiris silently smiles underneath his mask, knowing that his plan will slowly come into work.]

[The scene switches to the city skyline, where night falls above the city. Darach stands overlooking the night skyline as he is finally resolute in his decision to join the shaman.]

Darach: They have a long way to go, but they sure have enough will to do it.

[Suddenly, the ghastly figure of Kajura snakes across the night sky, and focuses his eyes onto Darach. Kajura snakes in rapidly and ever so closely to Darach as he whispers.]

Kajura: I have finally found my body…

[Darach turns around just in time to see Kajura’s snake-like figure journey deep into his body. Darach twists and turns and tries to fight him off as Darach unleashes a deadly scream into the night sky as Kajura slowly begins to take control of his shamanic body.]

[Darach stands in front of the city skyline as he slowly looks up from the ground as his eyes now glow with a deadly purple light.]

Darach (Kajura): The city has never before looked so bright… Haaaaaa!

NEXT TIME ON MYSTICJAR:

Darach (Kajura): Hello Osiris, I have come to reclaim my throne.
Osiris: Kajura, what have you done?!
…
Alaric: Hey, isn’t it strange. I haven’t seen Darach for three days now.
Kanro: Me either. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s something very important that’s keeping him.
…
Boy: … مار
…
Darach (Kajura): Finally, the reign of the King has come!
…
