(What am I even fighting this fight for? Fighting against people who are super strong…People who I can’t defeat. I am just a normal human, so why do I have to be a Ghost? Ghosts…Ghosts are…Ghosts are cool? I don’t know, I used to think that at some point but after that…I just stopped. I never knew why I stopped but I stopped thinking about becoming a Ghost.)

Ryuga slowly opened his eyes. Ryuga was injured so, he couldn’t move much. He looked at Jau-Unfurn who was sleeping right on his arm while holding his hand.

(Jau…That’s right, I have to get stronger to protect you…I have to get stronger to bring back your sister and I have to get stronger to defeat Ryan Arkwet!)

Ryuga remembered about Alicia and tried to find her but she was nowhere to be found. Kirio walked into the room, “Oh hey, look at who is awake.” Kirio smiled at Ryuga as he entered. Kirio sat to the opposite side of Jau and near Ryuga. Ryuga looked at Jau. “She just slept. I heard from your mother that she didn’t leave you even for a moment.” Kirio said to Ryuga. Kirio sighed, “It was my bad, I should have forced the Mayumi trade-off. This never would have happened.” Kirio was upset that he couldn’t do anything. Ryuga smiled but he couldn’t talk much because of his injuries. “Don’t give me that damn smile, you idiot! Who the fuck is crazy is enough to fight a monster like that thing?! It’s only someone like you! Only you would fight a monster!” Kirio exploded. Ryuga realized something, he realized that Kirio knew about Akuma Jin’s robot.

“Ryuga! He woke up! Ryuga woke up!” Ellie who just entered couldn’t contain her excitement to see Ryuga awake. “Would you wind it down?! It’s a hospital!” Kirio scolded Ellie and sighed. Jau continued to hug Ryuga’s hand in her deep sleep. She didn’t wake up even after the loud voices. Ryuga smiled. Ryuga wondered what happened to Akuma Jin and Mayumi Revons.

~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~

Outside the bingo station, Ghosts and police officers had gathered around and even people had gathered around. “What?! Did you just say that he said that civilians are free to go?” Bleeds’s assistant asks a civilian. The assistant has slicked-back red hair and wears a black tuxedo mask. Not to mention, his suit is full black spandex. “If he let go of the civilians, I don’t see Mayumi anywhere Sir Bleeds.” The assistant says with a shred of concern. “Of course, you wouldn’t see Mayumi. He never intended to let her go.” Bleeds says. “So, Sir Bleeds, what should we do?” The assistant asks. “You stay here Eron, I will go in and let him have what he wants.” Bleeds says to Eron. “But sir-“ “THIS IS AN ORDER ERON!” Eron, Bleeds’s assistant had no choice but to follow the order.

Bleeds started going inside the building without giving much thought. “Sir Bleeds…Please be okay.” Eron looked quite worried.

~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~

“It seems that Bleeds has finally taken action and went inside the building where his daughter has been held captive.” Another news station was covering the news of Bleeds going inside the building that Mayumi was held captive at.

“Oh right, you don’t know, right? Mayumi Revons got captured by Akuma Jin and now he wants Bleeds to come get his daughter. He basically wants to fight Bleeds.” Kirio says to Ryuga.

Ryuga looks at the television without speaking many words.

~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~

“I have quite a long time, Bleeds.” A huge white robot appears in front of Bleeds and on its shoulder sat Akuma Jin. “What is it that you want Akuma Jin? Why did you turn into a villain?!” Bleeds asked Akuma. “Ah, why you ask? Of course, because I hate Ghosts and the Ghost I hate the most, is you.” Akuma angrily said to Bleeds. “What did I ever do to you?” Bleeds asked Akuma. “Does the name, Rina Kuso remind you of something?” Bleeds looked bamboozled by that name.

“That’s right, she used to be the number one Ghost about 14 years ago. She was powerful enough to defeat you and the rest of the Ghosts, heroes, villains, whatever came in her way. Her ability, Real World Manipulation had a match. So, how did she die? And after how did she die, let me also ask you, why did she die? Wasn’t it because you backstabbed her? The number one Ghost’s assistant, Yasaharu Koichi. Oh right, now you took your wife’s second name, didn’t you? Now you are Yasaharu Revons.” Akuma gave Bleeds an evil grin as he broadcasted everything live to the audience.

“Rina Kuso was also labeled a member of Illuminati by Ryan Arkwet. He had so much power even back then that he could label just anyone and everyone Illuminati if he wanted and the world will just watch him and do nothing. Even if I take you down, there will backers of our new mayor who will always save him. That is why…I will take down the whole god damn Ghost system! It’s a stupid system, to begin with, so I will make this world a better place by taking down the Ghost system.” Akuma says with determination.

“Do you really think that taking down the Ghost system will really solve everything?” Bleeds asks Akuma. “No, but it will solve at least 30% of the world’s problems.” Akuma says. “In that 30% of world’s problem, one of them is you!” Akuma tries to punch Bleeds but Bleeds bites his thumb and creates a wall of blood to protect himself.

Akuma continuously punched Bleeds, “YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER! BOTH OF YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT!” Akuma kept on punching with his robot. “YOU KILLED RINA! YOU KILLED MY MOTHER! AND YOUR DAUGHTER KILLED ALICIA AND SHE WAS MY STUDENT’S CLOSE FRIEND!” Akuma’s punches started pushing Bleeds back. Bleeds’s eyes widened, “Rina was your mother?!”

Akuma punched Bleeds right in his guts, “Guh!” Bleeds spurt out blood. “You let your guard down.” Akuma said and he continued to punch Bleeds continuously. Then he grabbed Bleeds by his face and smashed him straight into the ground. At the very moment, Bleeds’s shot Akuma who was sitting on the shoulder of the robot. The shot went past Akuma’s head and Akuma smirked. Bleeds couldn’t believe what he saw. “That’s right, this is my limiter ability. Flicker Soul. You can’t win against me Bleeds. Give up!”

Akuma launches Bleeds in the air and pushes Bleed to the top of the building using all his power and breaking past all the walls in the way. Bleeds and Akuma reach the same floor where Mayumi was held captive. Mayumi looked at both Bleeds and Akuma. A Bleeds who was totally injured and an Akuma who smiled menacingly. Akuma punched Bleeds right at the window breaking the window. The punch didn’t send Bleeds outside of the building but he sat injured right next to the window. Bleeds was heavily wounded. His face was completely covered with blood and he had bruises on the other parts of his body which weren’t visible because of his clothing.

“You can’t win Bleeds, what you see is the perfect counter for your strengths. I have already surpassed your strengths and soon I will surpass all the other number 1 Ghosts of different Cities in an instant.” Akuma says. Akuma goes down and brings the camera. “So, audience, who should I kill first? The number 1 Ghost Bleeds or his daughter, Mayumi?” Akuma shows the camera at both Bleeds and Mayumi. Mayumi was so scared that she couldn’t even move or say anything. It was almost as if she had given hope after she saw the state that Bleeds was in.

Bleeds started laughing all of a sudden. “What?! What’s wrong with you? Have you gone crazy or something?” Akuma questions Bleeds’s sanity. “There is someone coming…Someone who even I can’t defeat.” Suddenly, even Akuma and Mayumi start feeling an immense amount of pressure. Not only those two but also the people outside of the bingo station feel an immense amount of pressure. “Somebody is coming…” The pressure disrupted their thoughts. “Someone stronger than father, stronger than Akuma…Who is it? It’s such powerful mana…” Mayumi thought. “This someone isn’t someone I can defeat with pure power…This feeling of fear…It’s familiar…”

A purple metallic hand showed out of nowhere on the window near Bleeds. “Who is that person?!” And jumped the person in the room where Akuma, Bleeds, and Mayumi were.

The person who just landed wore a purple metallic mask, had two huge purple metallic hands, two metallic purple metallic shoes. They also wore a hoodie and jeans. Their body was also fine built. “That purple color…That’s the most powerful metal in the world…Argion…You are wearing a suit made out of Argion! Who in the world are…You?” Akuma asked the person wearing the purple metallic armor. A voice echoed and said, “I am…Hope.”
