"Master, what should we do?" asked Viviana desperately

"I don't know... If we can't use healing magic, what else can we use?" asked Vermillion

She felt a piercing and agonizing pain in her leg and she screamed.

The three were at a loss as to what they should do to help Moon.

"N-No..." She said. "I-I-I...c-c-can't...h-h-have it..." She said. "I-I-I'm...t-turning into s-s-stone f-f-from the inside o-o-out..."

"What?! You're turning to stone?! What's going on?!" cried Viviana in shock

"I...I don't know... What can we even do to even stop something like this? I think we need the Great Spirit's help, but they can only send us power, and I don't think we have any magical abilities that allow us to solve this problem..." said Vermillion

"So all we can do is to watch Moon turn into stone?! How could do say that?" said Chika

"Well granted that this situation is similar to the life and death that we had yesterday, but we were lucky enough that I had a phoenix egg to give to Moon... This time though, I no longer have it... All of it's power and energies belong to Moon now... I can no longer feel anything relating to a phoenix inside of me..." said Vermillion

"Then surely she can do something about this since she has the power of the phoenix inside of her." said Viviana

"Unfortunately, Moon said that she can't do anything new with the power I've given to her with the phoenix egg in order to extend her life..." said Vermillion

"Unbelieveable... So this is it, huh? We're completely powerless..." said Viviana sadly

Vermillion and Chika didn't say anything else...

"T-T-T-There is s-s-something..." She said. "T-The Terra Terra Fruit...A-A-A-Also known a-a-as t-the Demon Fruit..." She said. "It'll cure this..."

"Terra Terra fruit? And it's a known as a Demon Fruit? Why do I get a very bad feeling about this...?" said Vermillion

"You're not the only one, but I guess this is the only option that we have..." said Viviana

"...Tell us where can we find the fruit, Moon..." said Chika

"The last time i found it, it was in that dark forest we passed through getting here. It has a purple and gray stem. The fruit itself is red." She said.

"Oh great...that place again? But wait... That place is before reaching Rosary! Do you realized how long it's going to take to get there on foot?! By then, it'll likely be too late!" said Vermillion

"Master is right. Even if we traveled onward without stopping, it would take at least close two full days to get there from where we are right now." said Viviana

"If only we can just teleport to that forest at least that'll solve that problem... Of course, no Homunculi in history has the ability to teleport...especially over long distances like that..." said Chika

"I can teleport you. Which of you is going?" She asked. "I can teleport you all to that forest because I have been there already."

"Heh... Being friends with a goddess really has it's advantages, but are you sure you have enough strength to even teleport any of us, especially because you're turning to stone." said Vermillion

"As much as I want to agree with Master this is the best opportunity, and we shouldn't refuse." said Viviana

"Mistress Viviana is right, but my only concern is that if Moon can teleport us back? Even though teleporting us to the forest saves a ton of time, it will still take days traveling back." said Chika

"If anything I'm sure she can, right Moon?" asked Vermillion

She nodded. "But I can only teleport 2 of you to the forest and back. I don't have enough energy otherwise because my body is trying to postpone the stoning as long as it can. So which of you will be going?"

"I have to go, obviously..." said Vermillion

"Mistress Chika?" said Viviana

"No... I'll stay here... I'll just get in the way, and you don't have that strong of a phobia." said Chika

"...I understand... Teleports us both if you would please." said Viviana

She nodded and teleported Vermillion and Viviana to the forest. After she had done it, her leg started to turn to stone, but it wasn't because she had teleported them.

Chika gasped in shock upon seeing Moon's leg turned to stone, but didn't faint as she tries to settle down.

"Moon... Is there anything I can do to help?" asked Chika

Meanwhile, once Vermillion and Viviana arrived at the forest they begin to look around for the Terra Terra fruit.

"How are we going to find fruit in this jungle-like mess? It's really hard to see now that it's night time. Also I got a really bad feeling about being here..." said Viviana

"I know... Which is why I want to find and get out of here quickly--Uh oh..." said Vermillion as he notices something

"What's wrong, Master?" asked Viviana

"I forgot to get my Durandal prior to the teleportation! It's still in my pushwagon." said Vermillion

"So that means we don't have anyway to light up the area...?" said Viviana

"Well I do got my fire magic to create torch lighting, but I have to be very careful of using it as we don't want to burn down this forest." said Vermillion

"Indeed... And without Mistress Chika's water magic, putting out big fires will be very hard... Let's just look around together." said Viviana

"Right..." said Vermillion

Vermillion uses his fire magic to make a small, but bright, flame in his hands, illuminating the surrounding areas as they look around for the Terra Terra fruit.

She closed her eyes in pain. "It's okay. My leg will stop turning to stone soon." She said.

Chika just sighs... She's completely powerless to help out her dearest friend... Meanwhile, back at the forest, Vermillion and Viviana continues to look around for the Terra Terra fruit, while carefully avoiding setting the forest on fire with Vermillion's fire magic.

"Hmm... Red Fruit with a purple and grey stem... I hope we can find something like it in this creepy place..." said Viviana

"I hope so too... Also, I think I have a feeling that we're being watched..." said Vermillion

"Ah... You noticed it too? I just hope we can find it quickly..." said Viviana

"If you're afraid perhaps you should go back to Moon, and let me handle this." said Vermillion

"I can't, Master... I know I'm scared, but I need to look out of you too if you ever get in trouble, especially without your Durandal." said Viviana

"Yeah... Let's keep moving..." said Vermillion

Her leg stops the stoning process for now. She sighed with relief. She looked at Chika. "It hurts badly, but I can endure it. But if they aren't back within 20 minutes, I will be turned to stone." She said. "If I do turn to stone before they get here, tell them that when they do arrive, to squeeze the Terra Terra fruit along my leg that started it." She said. "If they do that, the stoning process will reverse and I will be me again. But that's only if they return within a day after I turn to stone."

"O-Okay... I just hope they can find it soon..." said Chika

(So you're going to let me have full control on how the events in the forest plays out?)

(If you want. If not, I can take control.)
"Me too." She said. Her leg started to turn to stone again...If Viviana and Vermillion went towards a clearing only 5 minutes away from them, they would find a patch of Terra Terra fruit.
