Rinka looks at everyone.

Imma-ite: What are we waiting for? Let's go fight them!

The team of 7 walk towards the 3 skillers.

Doa: The one on the right is Rank 1, the one on the left is Rank 2 and the one in the middle is Rank 3.

Rank 1 is a guy with short sharp cyan hair that covers some of his forehead, his eyes are all red with small spikes of blue in them.

Rank 2 is a guy with wavy kinda long cyan hair that covers his forehead, his eyes are all brown with small blue spikes in them.

Rank 3 is a girl with long sharp cyan hair that covers her forehead, her eyes are all pink with small blue spikes in them.

The team of 7 stand in front of the 3 skillers.

Rank 3: Who the hell are you guys?

Imma-Ite: We're the ones who are gonna stop you from doing anything bad!

Rank 1: Really now?

Rank 2 and 3 examine Imma-ite and the others.

Rank 2: Hey!

Rank 2 points at Minaro.

Rank 2: That's 1 of the black blood people we've been looking for.

Rank 1: Oh, it is...What about the second one?

Rank 2: The second ones in that group of 6, according to the boss.

Rank 3 smiles.

Rank 3: I guess we'll find out soon enough, when we make 'em all bleed!

A metal pole comes out the ground and Rank 3 grabs it. Rank 2 summons an axe and holds onto it tightly. Rank 1 raises his fist.

Rinka pulls his katana out, Imma-ite pulls his sword off his back, Minaro's eyes change and his 2 rifts appear beside him, Doa pulls out her pistol out, Maya creates a string spear and Bukkaru walks away and falls asleep.

Everyone looks at Bukkaru for a few seconds.

Rinka runs towards Rank 1, Minaro runs towards Rank 2, Doa, Maya and Imma-ite run towards Rank 3.

Rank 1 points his arms at Rinka, his nails extend and turn into whips that thrash around. Rinka slices the nails and continues running.

Rank 1's hands become giant as he claps them together to crush Rinka. Rinka stops and the clap misses him.

…

Imma-Ite runs towards Rank 3, She points her palm at Imma-ite, a wave of glass comes out from her palm and heads towards him. Maya launches a string that wraps around Imma-ite and pulls him away from the wave. Doa runs and fires several bullets at Rank 3, Rank 3 moves out of the way and runs towards Doa.

…

Rank 2 swings his axe at Minaro, he dodges it and tries to punch Rank 2 with his right arm. Rank 2 catches Minaro's fist, Minaro pulls his hand away, and jumps away from him.

"Shit, Should I use my rifts? The stuff I bring out of them...Will it hurt Rinka and the others? It's better not to risk it, actually I just won't use big explosion stuff for now. " Minaro thinks.

Gamma rays come out of Minaro rifts. Rank 2 moves out the way of the rays.

"God dammit, I shouldn't have come to this stupid mission, it's loud and I just wanna sleep some more."

Minaro's confused as to who's deep voice he just heard. Minaro notices bukkaru kicking the air while lying down on his back and stares at him.

Bukkaru stops and turns his head, he stares at Minaro.

"What are you staring at? I'll scratch you."

Minaro gets surprised as he realizes it's Bukkaru talking.

"Talking cat?" Minaro thinks.

Minaro looks back at Rank 2 who was running towards him.

…

Rinka continues to run towards Rank 1, Rank 1 summons several mirrors and smashes them together which sends hundreds of glass shards towards Rinka. He gets cut by most of them, then Rank 2 appears and so does Minaro. Rank 2 starts to fight Rinka, while Rank 1 switches to Minaro.

Dark blue ink leaks from Rank 2's arms, the ink forms into giant hands that head towards Rinka.

"My sword won't be able to cut this, it's time to try what Sumairu told me to try!" Rinka thinks.

Rinka starts to remember something.

…

Sumairu looks at Rinka, he places his hand on Rinka's shoulder.

Sumairu: Rinka, have you heard of skills assisting weapons?

Rinka: No. What's that?

Sumairu: Say you have a fire skill, and a sword, you put them together and now your sword is on fire.

Rinka: So you put your skill on a weapon and then use it?

Sumairu: Yeah, basically...I was thinking, your void skill, the black gas, it appears on your sword right? So what if you just use the technique everyone else does when they want a skill on their weapon.

Rinka: Which is?

Sumairu: You say the name of the skill, then the word "attack". After that, you say a number and then you just create a cool attack name. For example, Electricity Attack 5, Thunder Wheel.

Rinka: You think that'll work?

Sumairu: It's worth a shot. Try it in your next battle.

...

Rinka's flashback ends.

Rinka holds his sword tightly, the ink arms are about to get him.

"Void Attack 1, TwinTails."

The opaque black gas comes out of Rinka's sword, on the right side of the sword the gas points up, on the left side it points down.

"Oh, it actually worked." Rinka thinks to himself while smiling.

Rinka swings his sword and slices the giant ink arms in half. The ink falls past him and on him.

Rank 2 looks surprised for a few seconds then he goes back to being serious and summons giant metal crates out of nowhere.

Rinka hops over the crates and falls towards Rank 2. Suddenly fire whips form around Rank 2's left arm that head towards Rinka, the whips wrap around his sword and pull him towards the ground.

Rinka is not hurt, he lands safely.

…

Rank 3 swings her pole and Doa blocks it, Rank 3 continues to swing her pole in different directions, Doa blocks it all. Imma-Ite runs behind Rank 3 and tries to slash her, her pole extends and it rams into Imma-Ite's stomach.

Strings fly towards Rank 3 and wrap around her hands, Maya pulls Rank 3 towards her and tries to stab her face with the string spear, but Rank 3 moves her head in time for the spear to miss.

…

Tons of gamma rays shoot out of Minaro's rifts which keep Rank 1 close by. Rank 1 creates a sword made of bone that comes out his hand. He swings the bone sword around trying to hit Minaro.

Minaro brings his rifts towards him and shoots more gamma rays at Rank 1, Rank 1 dodges and summons green strings from his hands that head towards Minaro and wrap around him.

Rank 1 swings his bone sword at Minaro, Minaro teleports out of the string and behind Rank 1. Rank 1 gets surprised and Minaro also gets surprised.

"Huh? I teleported?" Minaro thinks to himself.

Minaro hears the same deep voice from before.

"Long haired dude go, go, do something better."

Minaro looks at Bukkaru who was waving his right paw.

"That cat is definitely the one talking, but his mouth isn't moving".

"If you can hear me, I'll be teleporting you around Rank 1, so just do whatever you want to do."

"Oh?" Minaro thinks to himself.

Minaro teleports around Rank 1 and catches him off guard, Minaro kicks him in the stomach and launches him away.

…

Rank 2 walks towards Rinka, A sandstorm starts to appear behind Rank 2, it envelops the area making it hard to see.

"A sandstorm?"

Rinka walks through the sand, the sand hits his face getting into his eye. He's lost sight of Rank 2, he looks around trying to find Rank 2.

"The sand, damn my eyes hurt."

Rinka spots a shadow moving towards him through the darkness of the sandstorm but before he could interpret what it was, Rank 2 swings his axe at Rinka.

Rinka narrowly dodges it, Rank 2 disappears into the shadows.

"I need something to help me see."

"Void Attack 2, Strikes Of Death".

Doa, Imma-Ite, Maya and Minaro look at the sky, black thunder strikes from the sky and hits the place where Rinka is standing, the lightning lights up the sandstorm and Rank 2 can be seen.

Rinka turns into black lightning and heads towards Rank 2. The black lightning strikes in front of Rank 2, Rinka comes out of the lightning and swings his katana. Rank 2 gets surprised and dodges.

"Turning into lightning was something I didn't think I could do, glad to know I can. It takes up a good amount of energy though."

"I'm getting a hang of making these attacks."

…

Rank 1 summons steel crates and launches them in all directions, one of them hits Minaro, he teleports and appears above Rank 1

Minaro falls down towards Rank 1 while charging up a kick. Rank 1's left arm turns into a giant flesh scissor, Minaro gets teleported behind Rank 1 before he can be hurt.

Minaro charges up a punch.

....

Rank 3 breaks free from Maya's string and swings her pole which hits Maya's face. Imma-Ite runs towards Rank 3 and tries to slash her, Rank 3 swings her pole and blocks Imma-Ite sword.

Imma-Ite: Mayo, Doo, We've gotta start working together, We'll probably get more done!

Doa: Easy to say but we have no plan.

Rank 3 laughs.

Rank 3 starts to spin her pole rapidly. Maya jumps away from Rank 3 and launches strings that grab Doa and Imma-Ite stopping them from getting hit.

Imma-Ite: I think we should restrain her and then release an all out attack .

Maya: I've got a better idea. We should overwhelm her.

…

Rinka swings his sword repeatedly at Rank 2 who dodges all the attempts to hurt him.

Rank 2 swings his axe at Rinka. Rinka intercepts the axe with his katana.

Rinka hears his own voice within his mind.

"Void Attack 3, Void Within"

2 seconds go by.

Blood flies into the air, Rinka's right shoulder was cut by Rank 2's axe, but Rinka's katana is going through Rank 2's chest.

Rinka looks mortified.

"What just happened?"

Rinka and Rank 2 start to get enveloped by darkness.

"What?"

In just 5 seconds, Rinka was able to witness all of Rank 2's past.
