Anastasia's powers once again had become out of control. Vines reached and stretched all over the ground. The audience grew nervous as the vines reached higher but Saku was rushing on his way. Saku arrived at the entranceway to the stands but could barely see as thick vines covered the gateway "Anastasia!" as he ran he hit an invisible wall "ow..." and staggered backwards rubbing his head frantically

Saku reached out and a light green transparent barrier, appeared "dam is this is the barrier that Sophie spoke off" he then saw the vines slowly closing off the entranceway and out of frustration pounded on the barrier "Dam no good...what do I do now?" he then heard something land on the floor "huh?"


Saku saw the blue envelope he was given before "That's what Lexi gave me" he saw the burst card had fallen out "Burst..." he was flipping it over "hmm, hmm...huh? Yes!" he took the card and pressed it on the wall "burst open!" the wall simply shattered "Sweet...I'm coming" Saku slid under the remaining shrinking gap of the ivy wall, at the bottom, as it closed behind him.


Saku found himself in a vine-like forest, the whole place alive as Vines constantly moved and pulsed. Saku looked at it "jeez this is bad, I can hardly see the sky" he had to jump and avoid the vines which constantly moved around but then to his surprise "Kieran...I would say how nice to see you...but I've changed my mind" Kieran was completely restrained by the vines, so badly, he could only move his lips, nose and eyes

"Saku...I take it you worked out I'm not one of the good guys" said Kieran sarcastically

"What gave you that idea? Mochi told me you're the one who imprisoned her"

"and what if I did?"

"I don't time to waste with you right now. You've got some explaining to do after this" Saku left Kieran to manoeuvre the viney-maze.


Saku was having difficulty traversing through the green maze "I'm just glad these aren't the thorny kind otherwise I would be in trouble" Saku pressed his hand on the vines "now to find her...just focus...annnndd that way..." he turned to the direction of the centre "and...a thick wall...of course" Saku sighed as a thick wall of green blocked his way "I got to...carve a path" Saku aimed out his hand and shot out a beam but saw his beam wasn't doing much "come on"


From the stands, the vines were covering most of the ground, making it hard to see anything. Only a few could actually see through. Marina and scarlet were two of those "Anastasia's power is going erratic again" said Marina

"tell me about it" said Scarlet "At this rate we could build a conservatory in the stadium" she then noticed a flash of light "huh...look there through the gap" Scarlet and Marina saw Saku firing at the overgrowth "how did he get in?"

"maybe he had one of those burst cards?" said Marina "they allow one to interrupt a fight but they aren't allowed to fight anyone. So they can act as shield for one person but not fight the other for example" Scarlet saw him shooting a beam at the wall

"it looks like he's trying to reach Anastasia but he can't get through" said Scarlet.


Saku was getting frustrated "dam...I can't get through. No...I won't...give in" he shot another beam but again it didn't even cut the vines "No...Dam IT!" his hair flapped and Marina noticed a red flash of light "Ahhhh!" Saku shot a third beam with anger

"Marina...Marina look!" Scarlet pointed at a hole that Saku's beam seemed to be burning open a gap "he's like...melting the vines" a circular hole began to form where Saku's beam fired "he's...made a hole" Saku noticed this too
