Taeko grabbed Yumi's SweatShirt. "You're with them?" he screamed, you could've sensed the pain in his voice. He raised his fist as he was ready to blow her out of his face. "I am not weak, don't worry."Taeko looked down to see arms of skeletons grabbing onto his feet. He applied pressure on his feet, he released a high-intensity volt attack all over the ground. After holding the pressure, he finally freed himself. He jumped back as fast as he could.

"I might have to defeat you, ungrateful bitch." Yumi laughs, ignoring his words. She faced the sky and briefly said: "Look at the sky, he is coming." A man dressed in a coat similar to Kaori's fell, making a hole in the ground.

The alarms started ringing. A voice of a woman could've been heard in the school. "Dear students, we ask you to keep your calm, we are in an emergency." The woman continued telling everyone basic rules in case of bombings. Students in classrooms could be heard crying: "I don't wanna die." "I am so young." "Mom, I am sorry."

Taeko was facing the man in his eyes. At least what he could have seen of them. His mask looked like a deer's skull, it was hard to see his face details. "So you're the one. I will be very happy to kill you today." he reached for a little handle at his back. As he pulled it out more, it extended, it was a scythe.

Katashi reached for the sword of Taeko on his back. "Taeko, catch." He boosted the sword towards Taeko, "This time, I won't lose, promise Katashi!"

Fujita came running into Gen's room. "Get ready, they're here!" Gen slowly got up and got his casual jacket on. "Let's go."

Katashi saw someone flying towards him. He looked at the man in the eyes. It was none other than Kaori. "Hello, brother." Katashi gave him a stare and didn't respond.

Meanwhile, Taeko was still facing Kaori's comrade. He charged Taeko. He took out his sword at parried his attack. The man quickly punched Taeko in his stomach. Taeko spat blood as he realized that his situation was getting worse. A feeling of confidence struck him. His promise to Katashi. He got as steady as a rock on the ground. He screamed because of the pain but took his sword in time. He blinked past the guy. To the left, then to the right after over him. A ball of lightning formed. He put his sword back in his back and said "Rest well." As he blinked, the ball exploded.

Ami followed Gen and saw a girl. She looked lost. Gen recognized what she had on her belt. It was the enchanted knife. He gently pushed Ami "I go left, you go right." Ami showed him a thumbs up and executed.

Gen attacked the girl was quickly thrown back. She grabbed Ami's hand and started stabbing her with her claws. "It's so good coming back."

Taeko heard Gen's scream from the other part of the school. He rushed to help. He quickly charged towards the girl. He saw her pull the enchanted knife. She stabbed him in the chest.

She got a bit nervous as Taeko started laughing. Taeko started pushing it in and afterwards raised his palm. An explosion came out of his palm. He went flying one way and the mysterious girl along with Ami the other way.

He slowly pulled out the knife out of his chest. Threw it on the ground and hardly stepped on it." This is over!" He destroyed it. A big explosion occurred out of the knife.

Kaori was facing Katashi. He smiled and screamed, "We're over here!" Smoke appeared everywhere.

Taeko fell on his knees, he was feeling too much pain. The girl only left the body of Ami.

Katashi rushed to Taeko. "You did it. You're not so useless after all." Taeko hardly smiled "Shut up, you idiot."

Fujita picked Ami up. "She is unconscious, hope nothing's wrong."

Katashi screamed, "We did it!"

Taeko pulled his arm and whispered "No, it is just their plan. They will come back."

Fujita's phone was ringing. "Fujita's speaking."

"The island of peace, please, they are here."

Fujita's face went blank. "Oh no." He quietly said.
