Note: I don't own Shakugan no Shana.

I've now lost my mind to many things. Characters might be a little different in personalities and such.

"So you're the three little whelps that have been depriving power of existence to my precious Marianne." Friagne snarled as Yutaro Sakai, Yuji Sakai, and Yukari Hirai kept their weapons trained at the Guze King. "The Mystes of the Mahiru Maigo, Reiji Maigo, and the Seiren Maigo, you three shall fall before me!"

"Not quite. Marianne is a joke in battle and I doubt you'd be a challenge, no matter how many Flame Hazes you killed." Yukari spoke as she kept the Strata Arch, a bladed bow, trained on her target while internally debating as whether she should put an arrow into Friagne's forehead or into the barrel of Trigger Happy. "Honestly, crashing the last days of my summer job is a big no-no!"

With that said, Yukari released the drawn arrow at Friagne, who fired an intercepting shot at the incoming projectile. In the critical seconds, Yuji dashed forward with the Rotational Edge, a broadsword with a chainsaw blade, before slashing downwards at Friagne, who quickly sidestepped at the last second before flying fast into the air. But Yutaro swung one of the chained sickles of the Rensen, catching Friagne before planting the other chained sickle into the ground.

"You're not going anywhere." Yutaro spoke before a warning jolt erupted in his instincts that the Mystes evaded Marianne, who nearly skewered the youth from behind with a javelin arm. The distraction allowed Friagne to break free and he was about to join up with his beloved Rinne when an arrow impaled Marianne from behind. Time seemed to slow for Friagne as he watched flames burst out of Marianne's form until the Rinne disintegrated into embers.

"NOOOO!!!!!!" Friagne roared as he pulled Trigger Happy before turning and firing at Yukari, who quickly sprinted for cover behind a building.

"Now it's just you being the leftover." Yuji called out, getting Friagne's attention. The Hunter turned and fired Trigger Happy with a maniacal look on his face. But the Mystes zigzagged through the incoming shots before vanishing in an after-image that went past Friagne before reappearing a few feet away with the Rotational Edge drawn. Having been the victim to a Shukuchi maneuver, Friagne felt life leave his body, which separated into two cleaved halves before exploding into embers, leaving Trigger Happy and a number of Hougu behind.

"So I guess that's that." Yutaro spoke as he incinerated the City Devourer Hougu while Yukari salvaged Trigger Happy as her additional weapon. "By the way Yukari, good shot."

"What can I say? Revenge is sweet." Yukari replied with a smile. "Are we training too hard or have we been facing weaklings since the beginning?"

"The latter I say." Yuji replied as he placed the Rotational Edge away. "Anyways, we should fix this place and head back."

"So how was work today and your routine pest control?" Chigusa asked as she made dinner for her twin sons and adoptive daughter. Ever since Yukari's parents were devoured and she herself turned into a Mystes, Chigusa took her into the Sakai household.

"Friagne's dead." Yuji spoke. "I'm thinking of spending the last days of summer salvaging whatever belongings he had."

"If we find anything that can protect you without using power of existence, you're more than welcome to have it." Yukari added.

"That's okay but I'll take you up on that." Chigusa replied.

"Yuji, are you ready for me to scan the Reiji Maigo?" Yutaro asked.

"Sure." Yuji replied before standing up as Yutaro cast a large number of Unrestricted Methods.

"Ah, you have a strange spell of sorts that doesn't belong in there." Yutaro remarked before Yukari cast her magic to extract a silver template out. "I'll analyze it and see what it is after dinner."

"I wonder if Johan ever realized the presence of that spell before he was killed." Yuji replied.

"It's possible that the Reiji Maigo might have been tagged with it a few seconds after his demise." Yukari spoke. "Any interesting memories besides his lovey-dovey life with Pheles?"

"Nope." Yuji replied. "No matter how much time passes, I'll still look at the Engage Link as nothing more than a hormonal couple."

"Alright, dinner is ready!" Chigusa announced from the kitchen.

As the three Mystes went to help Chigusa, they all shared a collective thought:

The summer was close to an end as they fully realized on who they really are and the reality of the world that they lived in. One door closing is another door opening to welcome the autumn season along with other challenges that have yet to arrive in Misaki City.

Reiji Maigo = Midnight Stray Child

Mahiru Maigo = Midday Stray Child

Seiren Maigo = Holy Stray Child

Shana is taking a backseat as it is.
