When Debiddo steps past the gate, the intense winds cause him to get blown back. Brock jumps in front of Debiddo and stops him from blowing away. "Thank you," Debiddo says to Brock." "Ho, ho, ho! No thank me, little man. We comrades now, which means we protect each other." Brock says patting Debiddo on the shoulder. "Right, that being said, that wind is something else!" Debiddo says looks around at the area. The terrain is that of a barren wasteland coated in dark black sand that has grown soft due to the constant rain. Thunder roars loudly as lighting dances throughout the air. "It's going to be near impossible to get through this storm!" Gus says as he tries not to get blown away. "Um, Mizu aren't you a water type Genki?" Debiddo says. "So can't you get rid of this rain?" "I would if I could Debiddo, but this rain is not made of water," Mizu says as Poketo tries to taste the rain. When hearing this, Poketo quickly spits out the liquid and starts gagging in disgust. "Why did you even try to taste it?" Himawari says to Poketo. "Well we got to get past this storm so I suggest we create something to protect us from this storm," Daruri says as he wipes away the liquid from his shirt. "Wait, I got it!" Mizu says as he tries to walk in the wind, just to get pushed back. "We shouldn't need to worry about the rain, what we need to do is worry about this wind."
"Hey Himawari, you think you can create a barrier using your wind?" Debiddo says. "Impossible," Himawari responds. "The force of this wind is too strong for me to create a wind barrier. It will take a lot of spiritual energy to even make a barrier big enough to cover everyone let alone try to fight through this wind all the way to the next gate!" "Well, it got to be another way," Jesson says getting frustrated. Debiddo, after thinking about it, came up with an idea. "What about we block it?" Debiddo says. Everyone looks at Debiddo with confusion. "What do you mean Debiddo?" Daruri asks. "I'm saying it may be possible to stop the wind from blowing so hard if we make something block it." "What are you suggesting Hanshi? Cause that is easier said than done." Kori says. "Well, the reason why the wind is blowing so strongly is that there is nothing in front of the wind heavy enough to block it." "So, you saying if we create some type of blockage, we would be able to move through this wind more easily?" Jesson says, finishing Debiddo's thought.
"Exactly," Debiddo replies. "So if we can get someone who has a solidifying Genki in front of us, we could get through this gate. "Hold up!" Kori says as she walks up to Debiddo. "You want us to waste our spiritual energy and potentially get taken out by demons just so that we can progress to the next gate?" "Yes, I believe that is the best option right now," Debiddo responds. "That is a stupid decision, and it's something that will get us killed," Kori replies. "Well do you have a better idea?" Debiddo retorts. Kori doesn't respond to his question and looks away from him. "Ok then, so shut the hell up and help us get through this first test!" Debiddo yells. "I don't know where you are getting the balls to talk to me like that, but I'll let it slide for now since we got to get through this first gate," Kori says passive-aggressively while blushing. "Ok Brock, if you make a large wall out of stone, do you think you could push it?" Debiddo says looking around. "Of course, little man. This no problem for Brock." Brock says as he flexes his muscles. "uh ok, awesome." Debiddo says looking awkwardly. "Kori, I'm going to need you to freeze the wall." "Freeze the wall?" Roki asks.
"Why freeze it?" Jesson asks. "I get it!" Himawari says "the buoyancy of ice can cause large rocks, when encased in ice, to move easily! That..is actually genius. How do you about that?" "Hehehehe, I know!" Debiddo says smugly "I didn't expect Debiddo to make smart decisions like that." Mizu says. Everyone shakes their head in agreeance. "Hey, all of you guys don't need to look so surprised!" Debiddo yells. "Anyways, how do you think I was able to rule my school? I had high marks in all my classes. So high in fact that I could not go to school and still make good grades. I would do my test early and then leave." Everyone looks at Debiddo with disbelief. "What you don't Belive me?" Debiddo turns around and points the horizon. "Let's move!" Brock creates the wall which is shaped in a V-shape just like Debiddo asked. Kori, blushing at Debiddo, freezes the wall, making it easier from Brock to move it. With this, Debiddo and everyone else starts moving through the first gate. "What are we going to do about the rain?" Crystal asks. "because I don't like my hair getting wet." "Create a cover overhead then, that way we all can stay dry," Himawari says. "Yeah, pull your own weight," Poketo says mockingly. "Um, I did pull my own weight. Did you forget I was the one that found the gate in the first place?" Crystal replies. She ultimately sighs and creates an umbrella-like structure out of ice, blocking the rain from hitting everyone. Everyone walks through the sand, watching as lost souls get blown away by the intense wind.
"These poor souls. Lost in here forever, doomed to chase after their desires just to get blown back." Daruri says looking at the lost souls. Crystal looks at Kori as she stares at Debiddo with a glazed look in her eyes. "Princess, are you ok. You are looking kind of flushed." Crystal says as Kori starts blushing harder. Isho notices this and is immediately worried. "Oh no.," Isho says as he tries to grab Kori. However, it is too late. Kori causes ice to explode everywhere as everyone gets pushed back. "What? What is going on?" Debiddo says confused. "It's Kori, She going mad," Isho responds. "How? I thought she hated Debiddo?" Himawari says in confusion. "This is the gate of lust. It only takes a little bit of interest in a person to cause them to go mad." "Deeeebbbbiiiiiddddooo..." Kori says as she walks up to Debiddo with a licentious look in her eyes. "No one has ever talked to me like that. The way you commanded me and told me to shut up! ME! A Princess! I want you to talk down to me more. I want your love Debiddo!" "Wooooah hold up! What is going on?" Debiddo says as he steps back. "Can someone please get her!?" Everyone tries to hold her down, however, she just freezes everyone in place. "Now, no one can keep us apart," Kori says as she caresses Debiddo's face. Raphael uses his fire to melt the ice that was incasing everyone and tries to hit Kori with flames.
The flames do no damage, however, because Kori puts up an ice orb to keep others out. "Why is she acting like this now?" Bolt asks. "It probably means we are getting closer to the end of the gate and Francesca is getting worried," Daruri responds. "So how are we going to stop her?" Roki asks. "Simple, we are going to need to defeat Francesca so that way it will snap Kori out of it." We are going to need a few people to stay behind and stop Kori from having her way with Debiddo, while the rest need to move forward to find Francesca and defeat her. "Ok Bolt, brock, Gus, Roki and Jesson. I need you guys to keep moving forward with Issho, "Yes sir" The team says as they move on. "But sir, what about the winds?" Poketo asks. "I'm going to need you to make one," Daruri responds. "Me?" Poketo asks. "Yes, you," Daruri responds. "You are the only one right now that could create a wall, like Brock. So man up so we can make it through this gate." "Yeah... I understand," Poketo responds as he forms a wall. Near the sphere of ice, Raphael tries to melt the ice only to get pushed away with the ice itself. "Get away from us!" Kori says caressing Debiddo's face as he has been frozen by the neck up Himawari, quiet, blankly stares in the direction of Kori and Debiddo. Himawari causes the wind to flow around her aggressively as she watches Kori kiss Debiddo on the lips.
"Get...Away...From...Him!" The wind force from Himawari is so strong, that it destroys the ice and pushes the clouds away, which causes the wind to cease briefly. Further down the gate, The team that is supposed to carry on to fight Francesca notices the wind stops blowing. "What happened?" Roki asked looking around at the changing environment. "I don't know but it looks like it's affecting the environment around us," Jesson says as she looks out on the horizon. "Huh, hey guys!" Bolt says as he looks out on the horizon and sees a small castle in the distance. "I think we are at the end of this gate." "Great! We now go beat the demon woman and help Debiddo with crazy ice woman." Brock says as he walks and places his hand on Bolt's shoulder. All of a sudden, the team hears an eerie laugh that resonates all around them. The winds start to blow again however, this time the winds swirl around transforming into the Guardian of lust, Francesca. "I see you finally made it here chasers," Francesca says with an evil laugh. "Yeah, and we get to see you crooked face finally too." Bolt says cockily. "hehehe, cute, well just know, you won't be able to leave here, because you and every last person here will be one of my many lovely slaves here." Francesca says as she points behind them.
When the team turns around, they see the lost souls moving towards them. The team gets ready to fight as the lost souls start their attack. "Everyone, get read...What's wrong?" Issho says as he looks at Gus, whose eyes are glossed over in a trance. Gus looks at Jesson with labored breathing. "oh no," Jesson says as she tries to run away. "Come back Jesson, pleaaasse. All I want is a kiss!" Gus says as he chases after Jesson. "Really, we got to do this now?" Bolt says as directs his attention back to Francesca. "hehehehe, nobody can escape my seductive winds. All of you will be caught in my wind attack and will become my slaves!" Francesca says as she laughs. Bolt then teleports, leaving sparks behind and tries to strike Francesca with a lightning charged kick. However, Francesca blocks it with ease with her hand. She then uses her wind to blow Bolt back. Causing Bolt to fly into the wall that was created by brock. "Hehehe, anyone else?" Roki and Issho charge at Francesca, trying to strike her however, she dodges every strike and causes both of them to get blown away. "We got to do something. I never thought she would be this strong." Issho says as he picks up Bolt from the rubble. Back where the other team was located, Himawari is staring down Kori as a frozen Debiddo looks on.
"Get away from him!" Himawari says as her spiritual energy spirals out of control. "Oh? You looking for a fight airhead? What I do with my Debbi bear is non of your business!" "Debbi bear?" Everyone says with a cringe. "Please..help..me," Debiddo says as he struggles in the ice. Kori then stands in front of Himawari as both of their spiritual energies surge out of control. Behind them, the lost souls start trying to attack everyone. Mizu, crystal, Raphael, and Daruri all fight to try to neutralize the lost souls that are attacking them while Himawari and Kori fight each other. "This is going the same result as the chaser exams, Ms. Airhead" Kori says as the air around her freezes. "Bring it," Himawari says as both of them clash. The impact causes freezing winds that blow a large portion of the lost souls away." "We need to stop them! At this rate, they will kill each other." Daruri says as he fights off some of the lost souls. "That's easy said than done. These women are not going to listen to reason, and they are not going to stop until the other team defeats Francesca and undo her brainwashing." Mizu says as he pushes a few of the demons back with water pressure. Back over where the other team is located, Bolt and Issho are fighting Francesca with all their might. However, Francesca's power is incredibly strong as she pushes both Bolt and Issho away with powerful winds. "Damnit, we got to get past this wind." Bolt says as he spits out blood "Yeah if this doesn't stop, we all going to get trapped here." Issho says brushing the dirt off clothes. Suddenly, a big explosion of rock shoots out of the ground and takes out the lost souls that are attacking the team. Then some boulders came in front of Gus and Jesson separating them from each other.
"Brock?" Roki says as she punches one of the lost souls. Brock laughs as he walks to confront Francesca. "That is good warm-up, now Brock going to have fun beating you Demon lady," Brock says as he turns on his Genki. "Oh, defeat me? That's a laugh." Francesca says as she floats over to Brock. "I guess its time to have you guys take out your other friends." Francesca raises her hands and chants, "Winds of Lust." A large gust of wind blows hard causing brock to slightly get pushed back. Behind him, everyone gets mesmerized by the attack and brainwashes them. Brock was unfazed however which catches the eye of Francesca. "Why? Why are you not transformed like the others?" She says. "Simple, little demon lady, Brock doesn't get swayed by baby wind. I have loving husband at home who is waiting for Brock to get home." Brock says to the demon as his Butsuri release activates. "Husband? Noooo I will make you my slave whether you like it or not, attack!" Francesca says as she directs the rest of the team and the lost souls to try to attack. "Genso..." Brock says as the ground around him started to shake. "Kunitsu art...Gaia's wrath!" The sandy ground under Brock's feet causing the sand to form a wall of hardened rock that shoots outward and knocked out everyone around him. Francesca moves out of the way in time, however, brock jumps up above her and proceeds another attack.
"Kunitsu ancient art-Joro's Devastation!" The sand on the builds above Brock's head turning into a large meteor-like Boulder. Brock then throws the boulder at Francesca, which she tries to use her wind abilities to push it away. However, the wind wasn't strong enough to stop the powerful force of the boulder. The boulder overpowers the wind and strikes Francesca. "Nooooo!" Francesca screams as the boulder crashes into her causing a large impact crater, which knocks her out. Over where the other team is located, before Himawari and Kori could make another attack on each other, the mind control wears off causing them to stop mid-air. "What? What happened" Himawari says as she rubs her head. "Why do I feel flushed?" Kori says as she looks around. "Hahaha! It looks like they did it!" Raphael says as he melts the ice containing Debiddo. "Th-th-thank you," Debiddo says shivering. "You guys got caught in Francesca's lustful winds, and made awfully hard for us to calm you guys down," Daruri says laughing. "Ok guys lets get moving, everyone is waiting," Daruri says wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes.
