'Rian, is that really you?' Alfi still can't believe the one he confronts.

Rian casts thunder from his index finger striking Alfi out of the blue without any hesitation.

Alfi collapses with his body burnt out.

'Such a fool question, even for a moron like you, Alfi.' Rian said.

Koji rushes to Rian ready to swing his sword. Koji swings it to Rian, but suddenly Rian catches the blade easily.

'Rian, what the hell is wrong with you?!' Koji seems irritated.

'You are just like him, Koji.' Rian channels the blade with thunder current striking Koji that he is burnt out.

'Guess you are right. Awan is too weak that he could be defeated by weaklings like you bunch of weaklings.' Rian comes closer to sluggishly lying Alfi.

Rian steps on Alfi's head and says, 'I am shocked knowing that such a pathetic being like you is the Alfa, but what surprises me more is that you are so weak considering that Alfa is supposed to protect this world.'

Suddenly fire nails and blue beams fly through to Rian. Rian then strikes those projectiles that they vanished. Varz suddenly appears in front of Rian and strikes him, but Rian manages to dodge it by back-dashing.

'Alfi?! You ok?!' Varz exclaimed.

'I... I...' Alfi is doubtful.

'Oh, Varz, the Dragon. I feel honored to be able to see the last Zaluntino descendant.' Rian said.

Kartika and Herman join the fray.

'Oh, please, don't look at me like that. Please, don't hate me.' Rian said.

A horde of figures in orange polka dot cloak appears surrounding they three out of the blue.

'I'm here just to finish my mission.' Rian said. 'Charge!' He exclaimed.

They are charging three of them by shooting projectiles like orange beams. Herman and Kartika are trying to vanish those projectiles by hitting them with fire nails and blue beams while Varz swiftly slashes them up, yet their numbers appear to keep increasing.

'Just do your best as you will never be able to stop us!' Rian exclaimed.

They just keep coming shooting those projectiles to three of them mercilessly. One hits Herman's right shoulder. It makes him unable to move his shoulder.

'Wh... What happened to my shoulder?! I can't move it!' Herman is panicked.

'Are you surprised? The one that hit it is a special Iru which paralyzes anything it touches. Can you imagine what would happen if it hits the whole of your body?' Rian said.

All of them are shooting those projectiles to Herman.

'Herman!!!!' Kartika and Varz won't make it.

But, those projectile are vanished out of the blue. Yeah, it's Katon, he made in time to stop those projectiles by decaying them by hitting them with iron powder that he casted from his palm.

'Guess, I made it in time.' Katon said. 'Boss, if you don't mind.' He added.

Koji gets up and spits fire out of his glasses to the sky. When it has flown high enough, it explodes into a great firework morphing a big smiling guy just like the mask of Sky Bandit. Later, a horde of figures in thin jackets and big smiling guy masks fall from the sky. They are charging those polka dots figures.

'We, Sky Bandit, will never retreat until the last of our breath!' Koji exclaimed.

Rian's army is getting decreasing. Koji's army is really strong that annihilating Rian's army is such an easy task. Now Rian is surrounded by Koji's army.

'Rian, just give up already. Give yourself in nicely so we can talk.' Koji persuaded Rian.

'You are so naive, Koji.' Rian clenches his right hand collecting thunder in it and the thunder are spreading striking all of Koji's army into ashes. Koji and Katon seem safe.

'Rian, Alfi doesn't want to confront you, even though he knows that he is neglecting his responsibility. So do I. We neglect our responsibility to kill you. It's because you are our best friend.' Koji said.

'Then, it's your fault to neglect your own responsibility!' Rian casts thunder from his index finger to Koji.

Koji seems reluctant to move, but suddenly Katon appears in front of him changing his palm into metal. His palm absorbs that thunder and he channels the current into the ground.

'Katon...'

'Sorry for being impudent, boss. If you are reluctant to confront him. Then...' Katon draws his pen and turns it into a metal staff. 'Let me replace you to confront him.' Katon gives Rian a cold gaze.

"I am different with the old me. I'm not an inferior author anymore. Koji, he is the one who saved me from my dark life. He is the one who showed me everything. I will protect him no matter what it takes!" Katon has decided to confront Rian by himself, even though he kinda hesitates, he refuses to run.

'I'd like to see you try. Come!' Rian provoked him.

"Indra, Iqbal, and Reza have died. I can't die here!" Katon rushes to Rian.

Rian shoots a lot of thunder to Katon, and Katon swiftly spins his staff to absorbs those projectiles that Katon is getting closer to Rian. Katon turns his staff into diamond staff ready to hit Rian.

'Die!' Katon exclaimed.

Katon swings his staff with all of his might, but Rian suddenly teleports to Katon's back and strikes him out of the blue, but good grief Katon has turned his back into soil that makes him invulnerable against thunder. His back shoots some soil spikes to make a distance, and yeah, Rian teleports 10 meters backward.

'Guess, you are kinda reckless, eh?' Rian said.

'What do you mean?' Katon turns around.

'I know that you focus on offensive only? Regardless your defense and reaction are excellent, still, deep down within you, you are reckless.' Rian explained.

'Bullshit.' Katon looks upset.

'That's another proof that you are reckless. A simple explanation confuses you. What a letdown.' Rian said.

'Shut the fuck up!' Katon rushes to Rian.

Rian teleports to Katon's presence. He strangles Katon and channels a great electric current to Katon. Thus, Rian sends him flying and teleports to his presence which is still in the mid-air. Rian puts his feet to Katon's abdomen and stomps him heavily that both of them are falling slamming the ground. Rian then channels electric current to Katon again mercilessly.

Varz and Herman can't hold their urges that they are going to join the fray to help Katon, but Koji gets in their way while shaking his head.

'Why?!' Varz and Herman seem agitated.

Koji just stays silent. He feels that helping Katon means underestimating him. In fact, Koji believes that Katon is pretty strong, even stronger than him, but still, he feels helping him is nothing but a disgrace for Katon's pride.

'I told you, right? You are too reckless.' Rian said.

Katon with the remaining stamina raises his arm and holds Rian's right leg. He grips it tightly.

'I am not done yet... I am reckless... But I will not lose to a guy like you...' Katon said.

'Then...' Rian raises his left foot and stomps Katon's face. 'Not only reckless but also persistent. Let's see how hard your head is!' Rian channels an electric current from his foot to Katon's head.

Rian keeps doing that without showing any mercy in his face.

'How... Awful.' Kartika can't help but closing her eyes.

'Katon...' Herman and Varz are shocked seeing such a view.

'Rian...' Alfi and Koji didn't expect that their best friend would do such a terrible thing.

Katon is still being struck as if he's gonna die, yet his body refuses to dysfunction. Katon keeps trying to fight back by strengthening his grip upon Rian's right leg, and suddenly Rian teleports 10 meters away from Katon.

'No way...' Rian said.

"You did it, Katon. You are strong." Koji said in his mind.

Katon gets up and he is in Abiofusi mode already. He is panting heavily, yet he refuses to retreat.

'Guess, I underestimated you. Who would know that you are just like Alfi and Koji? Idiot, yet full of surprises.' Rian said.

'Shut the fuck up! I... Katon, the Nerve of Steel, is going to defeat you!' Katon exclaimed.

'I'd like to see you try.' Rian said.

Katon rushes to Rian's direction to strike him with his steel staff. Rian teleports to Katon's back. Aware of that, Katon's steel staff swiftly whips Rian face that he is knocked back slamming a tree.

'Hmm... Not bad.' Rian gets up. 'For a moron like you.' He added.

Rian channels himself with a great amount of electric current. Anything around him is burnt into ashes.

'How about ending it once and for all?' Rian challenged him.

'Let's.' Katon replied.

They both are rushing to each other. Rian keeps punching Katon's steel staff which keeps getting his way to hit Katon, while Katon is just waiting for the right moment for a counter-attack, as if he attacks now, Rian must be able to launch a counter-attack in a jiffy. So the best strategy is to keep defending till Rian out of Iru.

"I just have to go defensive for now that his Iru gets spent. And, once it happens, I'm gonna take the chance to defeat him." Katon said in his mind.

"No matter how many times I attack him, now matter how fast it is, his staff keeps getting in my way. It looks like the staff reacts to shock impact and it does repel thunder too. Guess he uses his brain just right, but it seems he forgot one thing...."

Suddenly Rian undoes his mode and swiftly punches Katon's abdomen really hard. Rian puts his fist to Katon's abdomen and channels electric current to Katon. Rian then sends a thundering uppercut that Katon is sent flying. Rian then teleports to the sky higher than where Katon body flying is. Rian multiplies himself by summoning some thunder clones.

'Tonere!' Rian exclaimed coming to Katon with his clones.

"Bos, I'm sorry, but this is my last resort and my will to do so. With this, his body and mine will be perished for sure. Thank you, everyone..." Katon said in his mind dropping his tears. He then turns a whole of his body into Trichloroacetic Acid.

'He... Turns himself into TCA? No way! Has he lost his mind?! Katon!' Koji realizes that Katon wants to kill himself with Rian.

When Rian hits Katon's body, Katon is exploding heavily. Rian's attack did trigger such an explosion as Trichloroacetic Acid is a high explosive material and it reacts to shock impact like thunder. Anyone trapped in such an explosion will die, not to mention it comes from a Doki-doki user. Their deaths are absolute.

Everyone is shocked by seeing it. They go sad as Katon sacrificed himself for all of them.

Suddenly, Koji's driver rings, he gets a message from Katon. Everyone asks him to read it.

'Dear boss Koji. I am sorry for being so reckless, but it's my own will to do so. I do want to show you that I can be dependable. Did you remember the time when you scouted me? You saved me from those thugs who would take a loot from me. After you kicked their butt, you scouted me out of the blue. I was doubtful at first. Why a stranger suddenly came to me and scouted me to such a random community. But, after I accepted your offer, I got a lot of friends that my life back there was so different than my old life which is full of silence and despair. Just writing randomly not sure that it would earn a profit or not. Did you remember when you helped me awaken my power? I was so happy that time and I would train so hard and act like a psycho. I did those things because I want to be a useful member for you. You have saved me from the despairing life of mine, and I guess I have to return the favor by doing this. Oh, do you know? I secretly write a story with you as the protagonist. Actually, it will be finished by giving some little touch, but too bad I can't finish it. Well, actually it's just a simple log of our journey and I planned to finish it once we accomplish this mission. Tee... Hee... Writing this just motivates me to be stronger. If only I were stronger, maybe I could see you reading it by now. If you'd like to read it, I put it on my desk. I will be very happy if you want to read it. You are a good friend and a great leader. You change my opinion about weebs. I thought weebs were nothing but trash, but I was wrong. You are a weeb but you socialize well and lead us well. I do admire you as your subordinate. I'm sorry for killing your best friend, but I guess it's better than having him kill you, right? Just keep fighting with His Highness Alfi. I'm sure that you can protect this world with the others. Thank you... Thank you very much. You are my inspiration.

From a subordinate of yours who respects you very much... Katon.' Koji drops his tears while he is reading Katon's last message.

'Katon... Your sacifice won't be in vain.' Koji sobbed.

'I don't think so.' Suddenly Rian appears in front of them.

'You!' Alfi and Koji exclaimed.

'What? You surprised? Don't lump me with those inferiors you've defeated before.' Rian said. 'And, do you still a courage to fight me?' Rian provoked Alfi and Koji.

Alfi and Koji are still doubtful to fight Rian. No matter how mad they are at him, they won't dare to hurt their own best friend. But, suddenly, Herman and Varz come to Rian.

'If they both don't want to fight you.' Herman said.

'Let both of us fight you.' Varz said.

'Herman... Varz...' Alfi is shocked.

Varz points his sword to Rian. There's no hesitation drawn on their faces. Both of them are ready to fight Rian.

'Fight us!' Herman and Varz exclaimed.
