Samantha landed on a nearby beach right by where Noah, who was currently somewhere in the city, docked the ship. Seconds later, a giant spider web was formed right above her, Xal's six legs reverting back into two. "Welcome to my spiderweb, Ice Girl. Your powers are somewhat fascinating, but I'll catch you and make you my prey before anything!"
Samantha bluffed. "Give me your worst, Spider-Man!" Xal smiled, controlling a sticky substance that came right out of his hand with his opposite hand, charging it at Samantha, who quickly dodged it - over, and over, and over.
Xal scoffed, looking at the precision of Samantha's dodges. "I'll make you attack right NOW!" he exclaimed, the substance chasing her around turning into a sharp arrow that mutualized the terrain. The smoke settled, Samantha emerging victorious from the cat and dog chase. "I don't know… how the hell am I able to dodge those attacks so quickly!?" she thought to herself, dodging another barrage Xal had coming. Controlling the webs, Xal glanced at Samantha in shock. "How the hell is she not getting caught in the webs!? It's like she knows every attack I'm going to do, and when I'm going to do it!" Suddenly, Xal had an idea. He extended the hand he was using to chase Samantha around, and held it right up to the sky, causing the webs to solidify and catch Samantha right in her tracks. "Got you!" Xal exclaimed. Both of Samantha's arms and legs were now wrapped, Xal advancing every stressful second. "Now, let's begin the ritual - the ritual of sealing." he muttered, leaving Samantha in shock. "You're going to seal me!?" she exclaimed.
Xal smiled, his eyes turning a bright color of red. "That is right… I seal all of my enemies… and they never escape me. This is the power the Romanti possesses - the power that we will conquer the world with." The web tightened, causing Samantha's grunts to expand in sound. "What is your power, kid? You did a pretty good job at dodging the first attacks, but now you're about to die at my feet. Gerald will be one of us, not you!" he exclaimed, the spider webs now fully enveloped over Samantha's body. "Coffin Web!" he exclaimed, cutting off all of her oxygen supply - or so he thought. Seconds after the battlefield went silent, the sky turned black - Samantha had override the rules of Lynette's dimension with her own, causing her to get out of the net with ease. "This guy isn't meant to be played around with, I have a five minute cooldown - if I can't use my dimension power for that long, then he's going to defeat me!" Suddenly, Xal appeared right in front of Samantha, his fourth leg breaking out of his body and holding what seemed to be a knife. "Take it like a real woman!" he exclaimed, thinking that he would be able to harm Samantha in her own domain. "It looks like his right hand is the one generating all of those webs! If I'm able to catch it along with the ice, then it'll snap off in no time!" she thought. "If he lands a hit on me, though, he'll revert the dimension power and I'll go on cooldown early…"
Kevin promised Itama Kawasaki and Champion Suru that he would return to completely overthrow the Trilan dictatorship. As they continue to cross the seas to Hamila, however, they plan on how to get their friend Gerald Romanti back. In this volume, you will learn about the backstory of Gerald and Bubbles, along with the past of the Romanti Clan. Will Team ENTITY be able to carry on Alex's job and take on the Romanti Clan, or will they die and not be able to return to the diabolical government of Trila? Welcome to ENTITY VOLUME 10: Chasing Gerald
Volume 10, Chapter 39 - Spider vs. Ice
Back at the scene where the pristine entity once sat, both Gerald and Ash recovered from the unusual time glitch that teleported all of the LUO units off the island, rushing up back to the city to give anyone assistance. "That was a close one - we had a lot of strong enemies, but we fought them off until they all retreated at once, which was pretty odd…" Ash clicked his swords in mere suspicion. "I think someone is pulling the strings here - they haven't harmed us, but I think they're doing it for our own good. Suddenly, both Gerald and Ash spotted Vani, with her short black hair, white skin, and her unnaturally short height. "Hello, random man and Gerald Romanti! I am your sister, Vani Romanti! And I've come to take you back to my family, whether you like it or not." she ordered, now in a demonic voice. Ash pulled out his swords once again, pointing them right at Vani. "Tell us where everyone is, or suffer the consequences!"
Vani sighed. "Kevin just emerged from the ocean, and is battling Father in the Backlands. Meanwhile, we have Luna and Alex, who are duking it out over some personal beef that they had five years ago when Alex tried to take us on carelessly! Then, we have Samantha and Big Brother Xal, who almost just killed her! Then, we have Noah, who is… looking for someone, I don't exactly know. And then, Michael and Kyle are on a giant bird, heading for Big Sis Sara! And then, you have me."
Ash clenched his sword, swinging it right at Vani's neck. However, both Ash and the sword disappeared milliseconds after, leaving Gerald in shock. "I've been waiting for your return, Big Bro. Now, we can be together for-for-forEVER!" Vani exclaimed.
"What did you do with Ash!?" Gerald exclaimed. "I sent him somewhere relaxing! If you want him back, you're going to have to go through me first - I know where you are at all times, and I can easily use two swords at once! You're no match for me!"
