Aquatina lets out a slow sigh, nodding as she whispers quietly, "Indeed, I do not wish to end their lives. I had hoped this place remained untainted by Aqilus." Asukem glances at the guards, sighing before nodding, "I will handle this without resorting to violence." A look of surprise crosses Aquatina's face as she asks, "What do you plan to do?" Asukem responds with a smirk, "Just wait and see." With that, Asukem disappears, leaving behind a shadowy mist. In a matter of moments, Asukem appears in front of one of the guards, delivering a swift punch to the stomach. The guard doubles over in pain, dropping to his knees with a mixture of shock and agony written on his face.

The other guard was shocked and surprised by Asukem. Swinging his Trident towards him, he tried to get a sneak attack on Asukem. Asukem parries the attack, by unsheathing his katana grabbing the trident pulling him in and slightly touching his shoulder as he says, "This might hurt, friend." Asukem disappeared leaving a shadowy mist yet again and appeared back towards his friends and Aquatina. The guard yet again was surprised by Asukem's teleporting acts as he demanded, "Who are you, State your name!" Asukem replied with a stern answer, "My name is not of importance. what you need to do is to allow your sins to be forgiven to your princess!" Asukem puts his middle and index finger to his chin and yells, "Sin Seal!" he then points down to the ground as the positivility energy pulses from his fingertips.

The guards let out screams of pain as chains of divine energy materialized on their bodies. One guard found chains swirling into his stomach, while the other guard had chains winding into his hand. The chains twisted into the areas Asukem touched, gradually transforming them back into normal sirens. Aquatina hurried over to them, witnessing their agony as they transformed into their original forms, managing to catch one of them in her arms. The guard was slowly reverting back to a normal siren, although his mind appeared to have already returned to normal. With a mixture of shock and agony on his face, the guard addressed Aquatina, "Prin...Princess Aquatina... why? Why have you returned?" His tone shifted to one of despair and concern, "Leave, run away before it's too late!" He turned his head to look at the individuals standing behind her, "Who? Who are these people?" His voice took on a dark and sinister edge as he struggled against the encroaching darkness, "There's nothing you can do, your entire kingdom is..." He abruptly stopped speaking, interrupted by a fit of coughing.

Aquatina paid no attention to the ominous threats, fully aware that it was not her guard speaking, but rather something attempting to manipulate him. Responding with a soft smile and a tone of kindness that concealed the pain in her voice, she reassured him, "Do not fret over them, they are here to assist. Just relax, and conquer the darkness within you. It is not like you to surrender so easily." With a gentle closing of his eyes, the guard settled into a restful state, his body reverting back to its original form. Aquatina rose to her feet, projecting a courageous demeanor as she declared, "We must proceed with caution from this point forward. Beyond this gate lies my home, likely overrun by enemy forces."

The group made a pact to exercise caution, especially when civilians were at risk. They all vowed to heed the princess's warning as they readied themselves to enter the portal. Asukem activated his sin seal while Gimp cast a purification spell on the gate. Stepping through, they were suddenly met with an unexpected turn of events. The gate malfunctioned, transforming into a portal and unleashing a powerful surge of energy that scattered them across various locations in the underwater city of Oshilu.

Leo and Gimp were got to the left, Kitteinia and Asukem were shot to the right, Grant and Kwitwaka the panther was shot close to the city gates, while Aquatina was shot far away from the castle.

Leo and Gimp crashed into the, but it wasn't an impact, but it did feel like an impact. Water surrounded the ground around both Leo and Gimp and they were soaked down to their cores in water. Leo glanced over at Gimp watching gimp shake off the water, while also getting back on his feet. Gimp looked like a dog shaking off the water and making a noise as if it was cold water. This set Leo off, causing him to snap in rage. He grunts filled with rage and soaked to the cone, "Just great! First I am soaked in water, now I have to be stuck with you!" he locks his gaze on Gimp while shaking off the water.

Gimp was surprised by Leo's reaction and asked with innocence in his voice, "W-what did I do?" Leo snaps still snaking off the water from his fur, "Everything! I can't stand you! You damn flying rat!" Gimp's eyes begin to water as his feeling were hurt as he said in a breaking tone, "I...I am sorry. i... I know I am annoying at times, but I had it hard, Leo. Can you ever forgive my trickster behavior?" Leo grunts and replies with an attitude, "I don't think I can, you really get under my fur!" Gimp begins to sniffle and his eyes begin to water even more as he begins to cry and whines, "I guess I have to stop being so annoying. I am truly sorry for being a pest. Leo grunts and replies as if he didn't care or even wanted to hear it, "whatever!"

Leo appeared uninterested in seeing Gimp and his excuses. He surveyed the surroundings and observed frightened sirens in chains, along with parents and children who were separated and unwilling to be near each other. Leo angrily called out to Gimp, "Gimp, stop complaining and observe..." Gimp glanced around and his expression turned to shock as he witnessed the same scene as Leo. Gimp sniffled and wiped his eyes, "The situation is more serious than we anticipated." Leo growled, "Exactly, so stop focusing on yourself."

The view was incredibly bleak. The city's waters appeared murky and dense, with only faint light reflecting off the street lamps. The structures resembled various sea shells, but the darkness made it difficult to discern. Despite their unique abilities as a sin kin and a feline, Gimp and Leo struggled to see clearly in this part of town, as if it were swallowed by darkness. As they observed the passersby, the sound of clinking chains and the desolate expressions on the faces of the sirens conveyed a sense of despair.

Leo and Gimp were unfamiliar with the sirens, but they could sense that they were in distress. The memory of Aquatina's plea to refrain from attacking flashed through their minds. They didn't want to harm these individuals, yet they couldn't stand by and witness their suffering. Suddenly, a loud crash echoed, resembling the sound of someone falling and dropping a heavy object. Gimp's attention was drawn to a glint of light reflecting off the street lamps. There, a teenage siren girl appeared, looking battered and emaciated, sitting exhausted on the pavement in tattered clothes. Without hesitation, Gimp rushed towards her, only to be interrupted by a sinister voice emerging from the shadows, questioning the actions.

Gimp felt a surge of panic as he thought he had been discovered. Frantically searching for Leo, he finally spotted him on the ground, struggling for breath. Leo managed to utter, "Something is in the..." before collapsing. Gimp rushed to Leo's side, feeling overwhelmed with helplessness. Suddenly, a dark, sinister voice interrupted his thoughts, demanding, "Who told you to stop working?" Gimp turned to see a corrupted siren towering over a teenage siren girl, yanking her back to her feet. With a fierce glare, he commanded, "No breaks for any of you! Get back to work!" The corrupted siren forced the weak siren to continue working, leaving Gimp feeling powerless and enraged.
