[b]"Huh?"[/b] Tsukiko questioned since she knew it wasn't her that defeated the beast, but a man who protected her earlier who was no longer in the vicinity. She thought to herself for a moment that Erica was probably not in the area when the man was around. She was still a bit confused about what was going on though she was somewhat relieved to see her sister despite her words that came out of her mouth never showed it.

[b]"Huh, where did he..."[/b] When she was about to finish her statement a voice resounded inside her mind. The voice told her just to take credit for the kill. She wanted to ask them who they were, but the moment she did the voice grew silent. She was about to walk over and ask what her sister was doing going through the forest to find her only to hear what sounded like a scream from a bird. She turned her eyes toward the sky then noticed a giant bird heading right at her sister. She dove at Erica and tackled her before the talons could snatch her sister as it flew by the two and lifted itself back up into the air with its wings.

The large bird howled as it let off a powerful gust of wind which caused the trees to wave violently like as if they were in some kind of very powerful windstorm. The beast was a giant bird which looked like it was half griffin and half wyvern. It was white, black and golden in color and at its chest stood what looked like a sparkling gem. It must have been an Egis. This was also probably the beast that Danny and Nathan encountered which mutated when they blew into a very powerful crystal. It was very menacing as it fluttered its wings violently at the two.
