Plot
As the diversionary unit advanced through the enemy lands toward the final stronghold, the Dark Emperor commanded the Fistfighters and the Dark Cavalry to chase them down. Sheyta Synthesis 12, also known as Sheyta the Silent, was afflicted with a curse that allowed her to slice through anything she touched, regardless of its hardness. Iskahn, the chief of the Fistfighter Guild, was confident that nothing could pierce his skin. When the Fistfighters caught up with the diversionary unit, Sheyta volunteered to stall them. She faced Iskahn in a fierce duel, where she managed to injure him with her razor-thin blade. After a prolonged deadlock, the two combatants developed a mutual admiration for each other and she retreated to rejoin the diversionary unit. At the end of the first day's journey, the diversionary unit set up a camp to rest. They were unaware that Vassago had been following them and secretly killing some of their men. When he targeted Ronie and Tiese as his next victims, the Goddess of Creation, Stacia, appeared from the sky and shielded them. However, before he fell into the abyss, Vassago recognized Asuna in the radiant light.
