(Imani's POV)

As the darker versions of ourselves appeared, I suddenly received a flashback. From when my Great- great grandmother told me.

I was 10 at the time and I was on the backyard porch when Great- great grandmother told me.

"Soon, young one, you and 18 others will face an inevitable battle if you continue on the path of being a Xeron mage."

"I will continue on this path, and show my parents that humanity can be saved as long as we have hope."

"Then I hope the best for the young one with the blonde boy with spiked hair."

"Shinto? What about him?"

"That, I cannot tell you. He will tell you himself, from the very bottom of his heart."

What did she mean about the last part?

(Icarus' POV)

"Hey Icarus! You, Perseus, and Hercules go on ahead! We'll take care of them!" Euisuke said.

"Roger that." I say.

(3rd Person POV)

"This will be interesting." Dark Euisuke says.

"Same for me." Euisuke says.

Then, as if it was some kind of synchronization, both Euisukes took out a box of Chocolate flavored Pockey and put a piece of Pocky in their mouth at the exact same time.

"Hey... aren't the dark versions supposed to be the opposite?" Jason asked.

"Yeah..." Dark Jason replied.

Then everything got very awkward as the two Euisukes engaged in a battle of who has more knowledge on chocolate.

Over to Icarus, Hercules, and Perseus, thing weren't going so well.

"I knew I was strong, but this is the first time I'm actually testing it." Hercules says, battling his dark counterpart.

"I can't do anything to help because of that lion hide" Icarus says.

Fighting the dark Perseus was easier since Icarus is helping out.

"Phew, done." Said the three warriors.

Then, the others caught up to the three.

"Hey, where's your dark self, Icarus?" Aphrodite asks.

Then, the room fills with an odd and eerie chill.

"Thank you for getting rid of those jokers. But your fate is sealed here."

"Hey, did you say that Icarus?" Euisuke asks.

"It's not me..." Icarus says.

Then, all exits were sealed and vents were reinforced several times!

"What?!?" Theseus says.

"Hey! On the ceiling!" Alesia says, pointing at the figure.

"Th-this pressure... It can't possibly belong to anything human or a dark counterpart!" Perseus says.

"Who are you?!?" Icarus says.

The figures lands right in front of Icarus and takes off their mask.

"N-no way... It can't be... The pressure is nothing like..." Icarus says, with fear in his voice.
