    When Emma came of dpidated building. Only a fraction of the building was standing. And by the mere look of things, the ruin would turn to dust probably after a couple of minutes or days. Coming out the ruin, Emma breath the fresh air, calming his raging nerves. He turned and looked at the ruin, lost in thought. After a couple of seconds, he left the ruin and matched toward the mountains.


    Noticing themander, every Ghost Hunters stood attention and breath a sigh of relief. Most especially Team C who witness the horror of the mental attack. Emma arrived in front of the mountain and looked at everything with a discerning gaze. Out of the Ghost the Hunters, two people matched out at the same time.


    They are Jojo and Mabel. Noticing each other, the nce briefly at each other before stopping a couple of feet from Emma. Seeing the two, Emma understand what was happening. He looked at Jojo.


    "Commander, everything had beenpleted and there were no traces of the Kprivs." Jojo reported.


    "Good." Emma nodded. He couldn''t another Kpriv attack at his current condition. "What about the injured ones."


    "Most lost a fraction of a bone or two. But they won''t hinder our departure."


    Emma nodded and turn to Mabel. "What about the crates. Anything?"


    Shaking her head. "Everything is secured." Mabel answered.


    "Ok, add this to it." Emma handled the box in his hand to her.


    Mabel was surprised when she saw the box. Though others may not identify this box. However, those people from Team C knew perfectly well what this box meant. ''How did themander get this box. Isn''t it trash?'' She thought. ''I know that the beast would not have given themander this box with everything we''ve looted from him. ''Surely, he will have done some abnormal thing.''


    Jojo on the other side looked at the box with cursory look. What''s with this box. Why did she look surprise? She couldn''t wrap her head around what was going on. But she knew this box definitely had a story. However, it was not her ce to butt in.


    Mabel leads Emma to the secured location where the crates were stored. Seeing the bunch of crates arrange in a neatly manner. He nodded. ''The pain worth it. But I don''t really know the usefulness of this things'' he shook his head. ''I''ll let the future decide.''


    Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. A strong wind appeared out of nowhere, blowing everything. Cloud of dust raised in the sky while the red hue in the sky became darker. Every second, the wind became stronger whistling everywhere. Rocks flew everywhere, mountain particles dropped from the top. Seeing the sudden change in the atmosphere stupefied Emma and his group.


    Emma furrowed. ''Could that stupid beast course this''


    Suddenly, a strong tornado appeared out of nowhere. Everything was swallow by the tornados. The rumbling tornados approached the mountains with in an extreme speed. Just then, a storm appeared out of the blue from the western side. The storm reached the sky, howling loudly. Emma couldn''t wrap his head on what was happening.


    "Commander! What are your orders?" Jojo shouted. The raging storm and winds made it difficult for words to get across without shouting. Everyone look at the iing storm and tornados in wary. Holy shit! How could the weather flip like a coin.


    Hearing Jojo words, Emma did not know what to say or do. They have many injure hunter on the ground while also there are treasures heavy as small mountain. With this, they couldn''t outrun the iing storm.The mountain my shield them temporary from the tornadoes but the storm will wash every away in swift motion.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Rocks began to fall from the mountains shocking the Ghost Hunters. Quickly, they escape from the mountains and looked at the rain of fallen rocks. Why would the rock fall all of a sudden? They receive their answer immediately.A sudden earthquake tremor spread through the earth. Crack appeared on the ground, spreading through the mountains.


    The continuous explosion dumfounded the beasts. The image dimmed, looking at everywhere in baffle. It turn its small eyes to the only human in the room, staring at this human with a piercing gaze. Seeing the image staring at him, Emma straighten his back and move closer to the image.


    "What? Do you want to finish me off now…. Hmm" He stop a couple of feet from the image. "I know you''re responsible for the destruction of the building. ept it and let get on with it."


    The antennae on top of the image was trembling seriously. "Don''t think I don''t understand your plot. Ants. Do you think all your measly scheme can work against me? Hmm" The room shook violently. The light from the strange line on the ground brightened, illuminating the room.


    "W-What –" Emma stuttered.


    "Shut up! You took all my treasures while your subordinate tried leave the room. The sudden explosion shook the building, trying to divert my attention from your people. From the start you don''t have the intention ofpleting my quest. You are just a mere thief. That''s why you don''t want these three treasures." Emma shook from the sonorous voice of the beast echoing from his head. Blood flows out from his nose.


    >>The beast is not as ignorant as you think it is. Let see how you''re going to escape from this. Humph!


    "What nonsense." Emma shouted, trying to maintain his stand. "Do I know if you have a hidden treasure or not.We entered this ruin by coincidence. What does the explosion have to do with us? I didn''t steal your treasure or what nut. I agree to your quest and the treasure is my payment. You don''t expect me to take one thing out of those, right?"


    "That—"


    "I''m not done!" Emma screamed. "How dare you question my integrity. I may not be strong as you say. But don''t question my integrity. I and my team were here all this while. When did we have the time to cause the explosion? Hmm. Hmm." His voice took another octave.


    >>Seriously, where did you learn all this.


    ''Call me Grandpa and I will show how it''s been done.'' Emma smirked.


    The image fluttered gently while the beast eyes rolled in it socket. No one could guess what the beast what thinking. ''This ant seems to be right. none of them left the room since they entered. They couldn''t possibly know of me. Nevertheless, right or wrong. No one take my treasure without leaving his life.''


    "I—"


    "Don''t talk, I''m not done yet." Emma walked confidently toward the three treasures beside the altar and stared at the beast in the image. "Just because of these things you call treasure, you dare to question me! "he picked the first box and threw it away.


    Pa!


    The content inside the box scattered on the floor, shocking the image. "How dare you?" it roared. Emma didn''t care about the blood flowing from his nose. His eyes became dizzy while his leg trembled slightly. Yet, Emma picked the seconds box and threw it away. Pa!


    "I will kill you." The image roared.


    An enormous pressure descended on Emma brain and heart. Everything became blurry, breathing became difficult. Thud! Emma fell on his kneels, trembling. ''What a powerful mental attack.''


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Suddenly, an ground shaking explosion shook the building. The image dimmed considerately, making the beast to lose focus on its mental attack. It small eyes looked at the surrounding with dread. ''What is going. Is the enemy back. Shit! My mental sense can not see pass this room. How am I going toplete the mission if the myst stronghold was destroyed by my enemies? Besides, how did they know I still exist in this ruin. I can''t fail this mission, this is myst chance.''


    Noticing the sudden disappearing of the mental attack. Emma brain recovered from the attack. After a couple of seconds, his eyes regained it sight. He took a deep breath and stand up. "I know you have a wicked intention. Though I''m not surprise. The strong prey on the weak. If I''m stronger than you, I won''t be in this awkward position. Sigh." He picked thest box and threw it away. "Do your worst." His voice devoir of any emotions.


    "Sure. I will show you my worst. Do you think all your bullshit talk can save your ass? Na?ve." The image retorted arrogantly. "let see your attitude under my torture—"


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    "What! What the hell is destroying the building." The image screamed.


    ''Shit. this building is sturdy than it seems. What kind of materials did they use to build it.'' Emma thought in panic. ''Only a few explosive are yet to detonated. If this stupid building did not fall under it…. them…. I''m in for it.''


    Boooom! Booom! Booom!


    The explosion continues, shaking everything. Pirs began to fall, crack began to spread everywhere, cloud of dust raised. Seeing this, the image became horrified while Emma was ted in his heart. He dared not show it on his face. He had noticed the mental power can see through his helmet. He need to be in character until the end of the act.


    Emma raised his head 45 degree and sighed. "I guess this will be the end. Sighed." He paused and pretending to be lost in thought, saying. "I''m lonely. And I''m lonely in some horrible deep way and for a sh of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic."


    >>My goodness. Your shameless has no bound. You, lonely.


    ''Of course, I''m lonely. Do you see anyone around me.'' He smirked.


    The image stopped fluttering. Its small eyes fixed on Emma. It couldn''t understand this ant. What lonely. But it quickly shook the thought out of its mind. The continuous destruction of it hideout was paramount than this ant. Then, he heard Emma again.


    "I''m not afraid of death. I just don''t want to be lonely when it happens. Guess I won''t be lonely at all" He looked at the image with a detach expression.


    "What are you doing!"
