Minaro is lying on the floor staring at Iwo fighting Domp.

"If we kill this guy I can just say we did it in an act of self defense." Minaro thinks.

Iwo tries to kick Domp, but he dodges and rams a light shield into Iwo pushing him back.

"A few more minutes and I'll be able to stand up again." Minaro thinks.

Iwo uses his ultimate skill, the floor crumbles under them, Domp is blown back, everyone falls to the floor under them, Minaro lands on his back and grits his teeth, the others land on their feet.

Iwo runs towards Domp.

…

Jone tries to punch Bukkaru, Bukkaru grabs his fist and throws him at the wall, Imma-Ite is even more stunned.

Imma-Ite: You're strong!?

Bukkaru turns around to look at him.

Bukkaru: Yeah of course I am, look at me!

Jone quickly stands up and tries to punch Bukkaru, he turns around and slaps Jone into another wall.

Jones wipes blood off his face, Bukkaru grabs Imma-Ite and props him up against a wall.

Imma-Ite: If you were always this strong why didn't you help us before.

Bukkaru: I was tired, I'm a cat you know, we sleep a lot.

Jone: This is stupid, this is outrageous! I don't deserve this humiliation!

Jone runs towards Bukkaru, Jone releases consecutive punches, Bukkaru does the same. Hundreds of punches are thrown and in the end Jone is punched and blood spews into the air from his face.

Jone slams into a wall and faints, Maya lifts her head up and is stunned once she looks at Bukkaru.

Maya: Uh?

Imma-ite: That's Bukkaru, he was actually a buff man.

Maya: What, how?

Imma-Ite: I don't know, but he's really strong.

Bukkaru: Maya, tie the guy up.

Maya stands up and shoots strings around Jone, he's tied up.

Bukkaru: Let's go find everyone else, I'll answer all your questions later.

Bukkaru carries Ashi and Imma-ite on his shoulder, he grabs a string around Jone and lifts him up like a suitcase.

They all leave the building and head towards where Domp and Iwo are fighting.

…

A man is punching his family members to death, a white string is attached to the man's back. As his unconscious body falls Rimin walks into the room where this is happening.

Rimin has a skill that lets him hypnotize people weaker than him using a string.

"I'll kill a bunch of people, they won't know I did it, they'll blame the skiller". Rimin thinks.

A stranger walks into the room Rimin is in after hearing the commotion.

Rimin glances at them, he holds a katana up and says something.

"Total Takeover."

A white string comes out of Rimin's katana which stabs the stranger.

Rimin: Go and beat those who you see to death except for me.

The stranger looks soulless, he walks out of the room in search of victims.

Rimin pulls out a phone and walks out of the room.

…

Doa and Rinka come out of the underground ring, Rinka has a knocked out Sodrin on his back.

Rinka and Doa spot the tower that Domp and Iwo are fighting at.

Rinka: Wow, that tower is really destroyed.

Doa: Do you think we'll have to pay for that destruction?

Rinka: I hope not.

Rinka and Doa start running.

…

Iwo uses his ultimate skill 3 more times, the floor and walls break even more. Domp's light shield protects him. Iwo tries to punch Domp, he dodges it and kicks Iwo.

Iwo moves and kicks Domp at the side of his chest.

Domp breathes quickly and creates several spikes made of steel, Iwo blocks them with a wall of stone.

"This guy's energy is crazy, I can't tell if he's tired yet". Iwo thinks.

Iwo runs towards Domp. Domp makes a sword of light and swings it at Iwo. He dodges it and kicks Domp in the face.

Domp makes a hammer out of light and starts swinging it around, Iwo runs around dodging it, he uses his ultimate skill another time and blows the floor up, launching Domp towards a wall. Domp finally doesnt stand back up quickly and looks tired. Iwo runs towards him and is about to crush him with a giant rock he just formed but suddenly several steel spikes appear and start to fill the room up.

From the outside and the perspective of the townspeople, the biggest building in the city was covered and impaled by several big steel spikes. Rinka and the others look worried as they realize Minaro was also up there.

The steel spikes disappear, Iwo has been impaled by several spike tips but he's still alive, Domp is holding him by the neck.

Minaro is behind Iwo, still lying down but trying to get up.

"Iwo, he saved me from the spikes and got himself impaled" Minaro thinks.

Domp: You said this would be done in 3 minutes, look at you now! Don't you feel stupid?

Iwo sighs.

Iwo: I'm well aware.

Iwo manages to quickly grab Domp's neck. They're both holding each other's necks.

Iwo: Hey, Minaro… listen I got my arm and leg impaled to save you even though you tried to kill me.

Minaro: Yeah, you're a dumbass. Why would you do that?

Iwo: I was going to get impaled anyways! So I thought I'd also save you too, asshole.

Minaro doesnt respond.

Domp raises his hand up getting ready to kill Iwo. Iwo quickly uses his ultimate skill again and launches both himself and domp in opposite directions.

Iwo: Look asshole, I'm gonna die if I continue to fight and well I don't plan to abandon this fight. So if I do die, promise me you'll kill this guy. I'll fight until you can stand up.

Domp makes a scythe out of light and tries to hit Minaro, Iwo quickly creates a wall of rocks to protect him.

Minaro: I will kill him.

…

Rinka and Doa spot Bukkaru, Maya, Ashi and Imma-Ite while running, they glance at each other and get closer. They start to talk while running.

Imma-Ite: You guys are heading to the battle over there right?

Doa: Yeah.

Maya: Are you going to question why there is a big buff man with us?

Rinka: Yeah who is that.

Bukkaru: It's me Bukkaru!

Doa: The cat?

Maya: Yeah, did you not know this, isn't he your cat?

Doa: Yeah, but he's never turned into a man before.

Bukkaru hands Ashi to Imma-ite, then he suddenly turns back into a cat.

Maya: Oh.

Bukkaru: Meow.

Imma-Ite: Uh? We can't understand him anymore.

Bukkaru: Meow… Meow.

Suddenly Doa can understand him.

Doa: Oh, he just said that his human form tires him so he turned back into a cat.

Maya: You can understand him now?

Bukkaru: Meow.

Doa: He says that he can pick who understands him.

Maya: Oh, cool.

…

Rimin is staring at his phone.

"Almost twenty deaths, I think this is enough to get them arrested." Rimin thinks.

Rimin reminds himself of why he hates the skillers.

At the age of 20, Rimin's two sisters were killed while walking down the street by the infamous Nunda, The Void Murderer.

Nunda was known as a mass murderer with the skill known as the "Void", he would either brutally beat his victims or stab them to death. Nunda was also known to be very sadistic and would often play around with his victims before finishing them off.

Rimin's sisters were found beaten to the point of being unrecognizable, this meant that they most likely suffered, which made Rimin angrier than sadder.

Once nunda was caught after 3 days and executed, information on him was released and it was confirmed that nunda was part of the infamous group of killers, the "Skillers".

Rimin couldn't avenge his sisters by killing nunda himself. So he decided he would avenge them by killing every skiller, as they are the ones who allowed Nunda to even be a part of this world for longer than he deserved.

Rimin tears up a little.

"They will pay." Rimin thinks holding his phone with a picture of him and his two sisters close to his chest.

…

Iwo's blood splatters everywhere, domp gets hit in the arm by a rock pillar. They're both starting to get slower and slower with each attack.

Minaro: Stop fighting dumbass, you're actually going to die.

Iwo: I'm well aware of that! I don't care, I'm 26 and my only goal in life now is to kill these people and destroy every underground ring!

Domp: So you're the guy who's been destroying all our rings and killing my workers! I'm glad I'm getting to kill you.

Iwo: My only purpose in this life is to kill everyone responsible for the underground rings. And I'm really close to finishing that goal, but I'm going to die, so I'm leaving the last part of my goal to you!

Minaro: Uh.

Iwo: I would rather die than have you die, you have a long life ahead of you and a lot of goals probably, I only have one goal.

Minaro: Are you sure? I literally tried to kill you yesterday.

Iwo: I am sure. What happened yesterday was part of the past. Today You have shown me that you are helpful, not really but who fucking cares, I might as well impact someone's life in some sort of way.

Iwo uses his ultimate skill at it's full power for the last time, the floor and walls of the room blow up, Iwo quickly dashes towards Domp, his right hand is covered in giant rocks and a pillar.

Domp creates a shield of light and summons several spikes, as Domp's spikes impale Iwo's face, his rock arm and pillar slam into domp but domp isn't severely affected thanks to his shield, only his left arm breaks.

Iwo has had his head ripped open, he is dead, Domp laughs while grabbing his broken arm and making another shield of light.

Domp: What a way to waste your life!

Minaro: Was it really a waste though?

Minaro is standing up now, he sighs.

Minaro: 1 minute is all I need to kill you.

Minaro creates a quasar in his hand and runs towards Domp, Domp can't move anymore, all his energy is gone.

Minaro: I'm going to make sure you suffer.

Minaro kicks Domp and launches him across the room,

Domp: You're going to make me suffer? What's the point!

Minaro: This is what Iwo would have wanted.

Minaro starts to stomp repeatedly on Domp's head until he's unconcious, lightning quickly flies by, Domp is quickly grabbed by Rinka.

Rinka: Hey, Minaro, no killing remember!

Mnaro is surprised and then sighs, his quasar disappears.

Everyone else appears from the entrance of the room, they stare at Minaro.

Imma-Ite: Damn, the battle is already over?

Rinka puts domp on the floor, Maya grabs him and wraps strings around him.

Rinka notices Iwo's impaled body on the bloody mess of spikes.

Rinka looks mortified, his eyes widen and he breathes faster than usual.

Rinka: What happened?

Minaro: He was killed, he died trying to let me regain my energy.

Several memories of Rinka's family corpses flash through his head. He looks away from Iwo's body.

Imma-Ite: At least we did what he wanted us to do.

Rinka takes several deep breaths, he takes a seat.

Rinka: If we had arrived sooner…

Minaro: We should probably hurry up and leave this town. We need to turn these guys in.

Doa: Minaro, You kind of destroyed this building. This might get mad at us for that.

Rinka stands back up.

Minaro: I'll just give them an excuse.

Rinka: Okay, let's leave this town, we'll figure out what to do later.

Doa: Bukkaru you know what to do.

Bukkaru envelops everyone in a purple orb and they disappear.
