Chapter 66: Saykomera
Narrator: Zeth and Sasha find themselves in a feeding ground for vicious monsters!
Zeth: It looks like we have no choice but to fight these monsters.
Sasha: Let’s do it.
*They engage the monsters in battle*
*Daykona watches from her crystal ball while drinking tea*
Daykona: Hehehe. Those fools will see that the Crunchers are not so easy to defeat. They have such a nasty bite.
*Zeth and Sasha both punch a Cruncher in the face. Their heads and necks bend backward but the monstrous mouth on their bellies lunge at Zeth’s and Sasha’s arms*
*Sasha is able to dodge but Zeth is not so lucky. The mouth chomps on his right arm, putting him in a lot of pain*
Zeth: Ahhh!!
*Sasha jump kicks it off of him*
*Three other Crunchers join in the battle, bringing the total up to five*
*Daykona continues watching on her crystal ball and she grins with excitement*
Daykona: Uh oh, you enraged them! Hehehehehehe!!
*Zeth’s arm is bleeding badly*
Sasha: Your arm!
Zeth: It’s fine! Don’t lose focus!
*The Crunchers’ heads bend back into their original position but now their black eyes turn into an evil red color, the two enraged Crunchers start running towards Zeth and Sasha*
Zeth: I got this! Star Shine Blast!
*Zeth releases his star shine blast at the two enraged Crunchers and it’s a direct hit*
*The smoke clears quickly and the Cruncher that had bit Zeth is using his Star Light Shield technique and still charging. The other Cruncher was blown back*
Zeth: It’s using my Star Light Shield!?
*The Cruncher jumps on Zeth trying to bite him more and even starts using Zeth’s magic-powered punches*
*Daykona continues watching and is still grinning with extreme excitement*
Daykona: Hahahaha! The Crunchers have the ability to use techniques of anyone they bite! Soon you will be overwhelmed once they all do!
*Zeth is trying to avoid getting bit*
Zeth: Sasha, attack at the same time as me! It will overpower the Star Light Shield!

*Zeth’s left arm glows with his magic energy*
Sasha: Shade Punch!
*They both punch the Cruncher at the same time, destroying the Star Light Shield and knocking the Cruncher back. It wiggles and then dies*
*They do not notice the other enraged Cruncher as it slides to Sasha’s leg and bites her*
Sasha: No!! Ahh!!
*Suddenly, dark energy flows out of her leg and into the Cruncher, causing the Cruncher to burst into pieces*
*Daykona watches that happen and then she drops her teacup and spits out her tea in shock*
Daykona: What!?!?!?!? What did she just do!? Grrr! I must capture her and find out!
Zeth: What did you just do?
Sasha: I don’t know. Energy just suddenly came out of my leg and into the monster.
Zeth: It probably has something to do with your powers but we will figure that out later. Right now, we have three more of those bastards to deal with. Time for a new technique.
*Zeth crosses his arms and has each hand grab onto the opposite shoulder. Zeth starts to glow gold and then charges at the three remaining crunchers*
Zeth: Saykomera!
*Zeth is now charging towards the Cruncher and is glowing completely gold and while his arms are crossed. He simply charges into the Crunchers and when he hits them, a golden wave of energy is released which incinerates them into dust*
*Sasha stares with shock and amazement*
Sasha: Saykomera… an ancient word meaning “Golden Force”…See author's note at the bottom after finishing the chapter.
Zeth: It’s probably nothing unique towards me. My mother likely invented the technique and I’m sure my sister is able to use it too. The real tricky part is performing the follow-up combos which I have yet to master. And without my divine powers, it’s still not as powerful either.
Sasha: Still, that is an amazing attack.
Zeth: Well, you are the daughter of the Dark Goddess. I’m sure you have some amazing attacks that you have not shown me yet.
*Sasha smiles and then winks*
Sasha: I sure do.
Zeth: Then I can’t wait to see them.
*In Heaven, Harmona is able to watch over her children despite her recovering powers because of their blood link*
Harmona: (Smiling and talking to herself) Zeth, I’m proud of you. I did not think you would be able to use Saykomera in battle already. Your next step is the follow-up combos. I look forward to seeing your progress.
Narrator: Zeth has shown off the Saykomera attack. Harmona watches proudly at Zeth’s progress. But what is Daykona scheming to capture Sasha?
