In the Southern Territory, nestled within a secluded forest was a structure resembling a fortress.

Inside, Mosley yawned as he stared at a computer screen, seemingly researching something. At that moment, Zaafea and the Woodrow brothers entered. Shane approached the screen and then turned to the drowsy Mosley. "So, did you find anything?" Shane asked.

Shane then looked at Zaafea, voicing his concern, "I'm afraid the East Warden might already be in the Northern Territory. Are we wasting our time with this search?" Zaafea nodded, responding indifferently, "Yes, there's a 99% chance this is futile."

Zaafea chuckled awkwardly. "Alright, alright. I wonder how they're doing on their end?"

As Zirconia spoke, a sinister black mist shot out and enveloped Clint.

Suddenly, Zirconia sensed

something amiss. Within the energy

that had been absorbed, there

seemed to be something peculiar.

He expelled the black energy and discovered it contained a fragment of Clint's spirit.

That fragment quickly began to fight for control over Zirconia's body.

"This... can't be! A mere mortal! Get out of

me!" Zirconia's power began leak uncontrollably.
