Richard holds his gun determinedly and points it at Wang, believing he knows where she is or that he's part of the triads.
Richard: - Tell me where she is!!!
With a calm and serene expression, Wang doesn't react. Elva, noticing the slight tension that has arisen, decides to react.
- Sir, Richard, that's it. We don't even know who this Elizabeth is or why you were told to speak to Wang.
Suddenly, he (Richard) takes out an amulet and shows it to Wang.
- A man dressed in black told me to show you this and...
Wang, Elva, didn't even finish his sentence and realized what it was.
- It's a transporter.
Richard: - What do you mean!!!
Black smoke filled the room and engulfed everyone present (Huan, Billy, Elva, Johnny, Akimo, and Richard himself).
Wang: Where did we land?
Richard: What just happened? Where are we?
Akimo: I know... In the lower astral plane.
He looks at Billy, who is neither afraid nor happy, as if the place was familiar to him.
From the view of the entire team, it looked like a border with another world, a gray tinged with darkness and mist almost identical to Billy's when Wang tried to grab him.
Huan: The real question is why are we here and who sent us there? Richard: I don't understand a single word you're saying. What is the lower astral?
Akimo: The lower astral is where fallen souls are found, either waiting to pass into the world to reincarnate or destined to become wandering souls.
Wang: This is where specters are born, because of their regret and anger, which crystallizes and creates a fissure to return to the world of the living to torment them.
Huan: There's one thing you should know: this is where drifters, fallen souls who have become demons, retrieve faithful servants, and we must do everything we can to get out as soon as possible because the further we go, the deeper we sink.
Richard: And what's at the bottom?
Elva: In any case, I wouldn't like to know!!
They continue walking in this thick mist when noises begin to be heard, like animal footsteps, people giggling, and especially whispers.
Richard: You hear that!!
Akimo: It's the whisperers, above all, don't let yourself be carried away by their voices, their purpose is to keep you here.
Billy is walking when he hears his mother's voice, and as soon as he answers, the mist isolates him from the others. They start shouting his name, but to no avail.
Wang: We have to do something.
Akimo, a chanting intonation, then his staff appears, and at the end, a light on the stone in the middle temporarily dissipates the mist. Near a withered tree, a deformed creature is holding Billy, who is on his knees, and this thing is sucking his life energy.
Wang: Over there, I see it! He draws a circle of yang, a piece of a circle of yin and yang.
_ By the powers bestowed upon me, I conjure you!!!
A sort of gray-black ball of energy projectile hits the monster in the head. Elva rushes to retrieve it, but other creatures come towards them, and the mist begins to blur their vision again.
Wang_: Akimo, quick!
Akimo releases lightning around the area to fly with them when suddenly they are intercepted in mid-flight by a black lightning bolt. They all fall to the ground, and the dogs, or at least the beings that appear that way at first glance, circle them.
Elva_: What happened?
Akimo_: We were intercepted by something.
Huan: Or rather, by what?
A tall being holding a stick of dried wood, itself also possessing the appearance of dried wood with bright red eyes.
- BUT WHO DO I SEE HERE!!
The voice is so vibrant and powerful that many seem to freeze, but above all, one is missing, not even having noticed his absence upon their arrival in the lower astral plane, walking alone, and the monsters around him are even wary of him. It's Johnny.
Calm, almost at ease, he walks serenely in his cowboy hat and coat, notices a man on the ground, then approaches, observes him, and then draws his weapon.
The stranger: Don't shoot.
Johnny: It's up to you to say why not!!
The stranger: My name is Childeric, but we were known as the Merovingians!!
Johnny: And I'm supposed to know.
He stands up, dusts off his tunic, a long robe, he looks like a wealthy man.
The Merovingian: No, of course not, I'm a Frank, and you must be wondering what I'm doing here all alone like you.
Johnny: It's none of your business, you talk or you get hit.
Merovingian: (smiles), my brother and I were thrown here by a black magician, and during our battle against a werewolf, I lost my sword, my gold, and the Spear of Destiny.
Johnny: The spear of what?
Merovingian: It's too much to explain.
Footsteps are heard.Johnny fires at incredible speed and the bullet passes through the mist and eliminates him. The being behind him is a werewolf, a bullet straight to the heart.
Johnny_: That's the werewolf you were talking about!!
Merovingian_: Wii (surprised and scared by the cowboy's speed)
Meanwhile, Wang and the others are surrounded by a pack and their leader appears on a platform.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT!?
Akimo_: Kaoka- PAOK!!
Wang_: You know him!!
Akimo_: In a way, he's a blood brother duped by the palefaces who promised him glory and riches. He fell into witchcraft by merging with a demon to gain power, even though he was destined to become my leader.
Wang_: If you managed to defeat him once, you can do it again.
Akimo_: Who told you I defeated him? No one could.
Elva_: But how did he end up here?
Akimo_: Our leader and three others from neighboring tribes sealed him away with the help of a wandering monk many years ago.
Akimo clears out Wang, who looks back at Akimo.
Wang_: Who? My father!!
