It was their latest search for a new weapon, a tool to help them defeat Kaiyanwang—the Sanjiyan Unkara who nearly destroyed his entire race—as well as his Wu, Benares.
They had run across an ancient text, stating of the existence of a living weapon, an entity that could kill even a Wu, without the Sanjiyan Unkara it was connected to dying as well. It was said that it was so powerful, it took all of Kaiyanwang’s power to seal it, and even then, it was a half-botched job. They had assumed that if it was sealed, then it could be killed.
But the Oni loyal to the weapon hid it, and placed traps around it. And when Kaiyanwang was sealed, oddly enough by the very spell he had used on the weapon, the Oni altered the spell one last time, before they too fell to sleep.
Only a Sanjiyan Unkara could enter the cave, only a Wu could survive the traps, and only those of kind souls would ever be able to awaken the weapon.
They had ensured Benares would never gain entrance to the weapon, as his Master himself was sealed.
Except ... to gain entry, the correct translation was needed.
“PERVERT!” WHAM!
This translation said that a Wu could enter, if the Wu was covered with as much direct contract as possible with their Sanjiyan Unkara.
“WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?”
“YOU SQUEEZED ME!”
Which meant you had to enter ... naked ... and holding each other.
“WHAT KIND OF PERVERTED ONI SET UP THAT RULE?”
“At least we can get dressed now,” grumbled Yakumo, having regenerated from the attacks of the nude female Sanjiyan Unkara.
“Don’t look at me, you filthy pervert!” yelled the authoritative voice of Parvati.
“Pai would have never hit me like that,” mumbled Yakumo.
“Wow,” said Pai, her third eye closed. “This place is beautiful!”
Yakumo sighed. Parvati always reverted to Pai before he could get any payback. She always fights dirty...
“Hey!” called out Pai. “I think I found a magical message!”
Sure enough, she was standing before what looked like a three-eyed demon turtle, familiar to what they had encountered when they had first entered the Sanjiyan Unkara Holy Land.
As they neared it, the image of a three horned Oni formed, looking nearly peaceful, as it told its message.
“Greetings, travelers; if you made it this far, then one of my Master’s wishes: that the Sanjiyan Unkara not see their Wu as disposable tools; may have come true.
“It is also my hope, that the wishes of Shiva’s darker nature have been stopped.
“But I must not talk of such things for the moment. If you have come here, there are only two reasons. You either wish to free my Master, while hopefully not naming him your new King—he always hated such titles—or you need his help to defeat a great threat.
“Sadly, I believe it is the latter, though I do hope for the former.
“Once you open his tomb, he can only be awoken by the kiss of a Sanjiyan Unkara upon the location of his third eye. Only then will he awaken.”
“I think we found the pervert Oni,” sighed Yakumo.
“Ooo,” said Pai, “it’s like Sleeping Beauty!
“Yakumo, why did you hit the ground like that?” Pai asked in her usual innocence, as Yakumo face-faulted.
“I must warn you though, the weapons of my Master were very much sought after by Kaiyanwang and his Wu for their power. But my Master hid them as well as all of his treasures before Kaiyanwang’s spell could be completed.
“I cannot guarantee that my Master will be ... friendly ... when he awakens. Please be forgiving if he acts strange ... or violent ... or changes gender when splashed with water.
“... Huh?” asked the two living people.
