by TF RyuShin

Set after Origami was sealed by Shido, but before Shido's Spirits powers got over heated. Shido suddenly was reunited with several figures that he thought they were already deceased. Moreover, a mysterious boy suddenly appeared before Shido and he has the same powers like him. The boy threaten Shido to release all of his powers. How will Shido coup with this?

4. Chapter 3

Hello guys, it's TF RyuShin again! Welp! This is another surprising fast update again. Anyway, thanks for the review for my previous chapters. I really appreciate it. Thank you guys. Now, this is my new chapter of my fic. Better be ready, there is so much blood bath and twists in this chapter. Also, prepare a tissue. You might going to cry in this chapter. Now, here's the review reply:

Jack555Ripper: Thank you. I promise that this fic won't disappoint you and the others.

Toa Solaric: Well, 'Kamon' is a play of the phrase of 'Come on'. So, you know what I meant , right? Anyway, you will be surprised in this chapter along with others.

Guest: Um, sorry, but I can't reply because I can't understand your review.

Condeale: Origami's eyes when she is normal is dark blue and when she is a Spirit is light blue. Well, since the anime hasn't covered the volume 10, I'm not sure either. Also, about Maria, Shido could tell the others about his experiences with Maria, right? Especially, I only wrote that Tohka and Origami were jealous to Maria. And it's Maria not Mary.

Well, let's go to the chapter. Lastly, I don't own Date A Live which is owned by Tachibana Koushi. I own my OCs.

Chapter 3: The End of The Diva

"Torya!" shouted Yuuto before bashing a Bandersnatch's head. He then bashes the android's hip before bashing him aside. Soon a group of Bandersnatches approach him, but the boy soon bashes them all easily.

"Hehe! I don't even need to use my Kazuraba-family's style. These weren't hard after all." Said Yuuto confidently. When another Bandersnatch tried to attack him, Yuuto took a deep breath before bashing the android wildly. After defeating several Bandersnates, he took a glance to his surroundings. The Bandersnatches is still so many despite he already bashed almost 50 of them. He also looked his pipe, the pipe got a lot of damage from the bashing. It even couldn't be used to bash anymore. But he still need to endure it, he needs to keep moving forward or else they will lose sight to Shido again.

"Kyaaaaaa! Kazuraba-kun, help me!" shouted Maria while being surrounded by Bandersnatches. The android approached her slowly before trying to attack her.

"DON'T TOUCH MARIA-CHAN!" shouted Yuuto before bashing the group of the Bandersnatches. He bashed all of them wildly in kendo-style. Suddenly, a gun-wielder Bandersnatch tried to shoot the two. However, the two managed to dodge it easily.

"Damn, at time like this, the pipe is already damaged!" cursed Yuuto. The Bandersnatch tried to shoot them again, but Yuuto threw the damaged pipe to the Bandersnatch's eyes, neutralizing it. However, it doesn't stop in there. Several groups of gun-wielder Bandersnatches fired energy blasts to them. Yuuto then grabs Maria's hands before running out for their life.

"Hey! Isn't using a gun is a cheat!? Is you're a man, fight one-on-one!" complained Yuuto while running with Maria. Unfortunately, Bandersnatches weren't men. However, Maria accidentally tripped a rock, making the two fell to the ground.

"Maria-chan, are you alright?" asked Yuuto while approaching the grounded Maria

"Yes, Kazuaraba-kun." Before they could get up, the Bandersnatches already pointed their gun to them. Reactively, Yuuto then hugged Maria tightly. He won't let this scumb android hurt Maria. Even if he must die first, he is willing to protect Maria with his own life.

"Let go, Kazuraba-kun! Run from here!" said Maria

"No! I won't run without you! We will get out here alive!" shouted Yuuto. He really won't let any of their attacks touch Maria's fragile body. He will protect her no matter what. The Bandersnatches then fired their gun to the two. Even Yuuto could hear the gun noises. However, after several seconds, he didn't get any feelings of injury nor he felt the attack hit him. He then turned backward to see what happened. He saw Origami protected them using a white-feather shield.

"You're so reckless, Kazuraba-kun. You would already dead if I didn't save you." said Origami while spreading her arms. Yes, she used Metatron's defensive ability . It's really useful for defensive purpose. Even, she protected them before using Metatron. Although Yuuto (and he's sure that Shido also thinks same) didn't like her stoic and emotionless with too straightforward personality, but Origami is truly a dependable and useful girl. Especially, since she is a Spirit now. Though, both him and Shido actually prefer Origami's more normal and bashful personality. Since, it's make her more cuter and also, well, more normal girl.

"Thanks, Ori-chan!" thanked Yuuto

"Don't, don't call me like that! Get to safety now!" said Origami while blushing hard

"Ah! Let's go, Maria-chan!" said Yuuto before running with Maria again. Origami then set her sight to the Bandersnatches.

"Now, who want to get pierced by the Angel?" said Origami

Tohka, on the other hand, was slashing all of the Bandersnatches wildly. She cut their head, body, limbs, using her Sandalphon. Her eyes were filled with rage and she attacked all of the android mercilessly.

"You all…. DON'T GET IN MY TO FIND SHIDO!" shouted Tohka while delivering a purple energy slash to the group of Bandersnatches, easily annihilating them. It was quite surprising for Tohka to regain her old Spirit's personality. On side note, Tohka is more calmer and cautious during her time as full-flex Spirit. Not only that, her unstable mental made her regained more of her Astral Dress's pieces, such as her purple-layered skirt, her purple gloves and also her high-heels. Several Bandersnatches fired their blast to the girl, but Tohka just open her palm, creating a protective shield in front of her. The shield vaporized all of the blasts.

"Hm…. You really pick up the wrong day." Said Tohka before firing a purple energy blast from her palm. Though all of the Bandersnatches managed to dodge it, the blast suddenly exploded, creating multiple purple homing blasts. All of the blasts soon hit all of the remanding android, exploding them in contact.

Meanwhile, all of the remaining Bandersnatches were now surrounding Origami. However, the girl still acted calm and cool. She then summoned her Metatron to surround her. Her Angel soon spun very fast that it's impossible for naked eyes before it glowed even brighter than before.

"Metatron: Shemesh!" shouted Origami before commanding the Metatron to fire multi-directional blasts from all range. From land and air, there are no places that the sun beams could miss. All of the Bandersnatches were incapacitated by the sun beams.

"Metatron: Kad'our!" shouted Origami before commanding Metatron to attack any airborne Bandersntaches or gun-wielder of it. Metatron soon became sharp feathers that has it's own will before attacking the android like homing blades. All of the Bandersnatches were all cut because of the feather blades. However, there were still many Bandersnatches around her and Tohka. Not only that, several Bandersnatches were also approaching Yuuto and Maria who were defenseless.

"Tch! There were still so many of them. That's it! I won't hold back again! Tohka, please get Kazuraba-kun and Ars-chan to safety. You three go find Shido first, I will follow you later." Said Origami with serious tone

"But, Origami…."

"Don't worry, Tohka, I won't die before getting Shido's love." Said Origami confidently

"Hey! I don't talk about our competition for getting Shido, I just worry if you are injured, Shido will be sad and I also will be lonely…." Said Tohka while whispering the last part. Somehow, Tohka becomes more Tsundere like Kotori.

"Now, go away! I will deal with this!"

"Um!" Tohka soon charged to all of the Bandersnatches that targeted Yuuto and Maria. She cut all of them easily. She also blocked all of their blasts with her palms. As a counter-attack, she released a purple energy slash to diminish several numbers of them.

"Yuuto! We need to get out of here!" said Tohka

"What!? How about Ori-chan!? We can't let her alone!" protested Yuuto

"I know, but I'm sure that Origami can handle this. I know Origami longer than you two. After all, we need to find Shido quickly. We are worried if something happened to Shido, right?"

"Yeah, but, still…."

"Don't worry, Kazuraba-kun. I also know that Origami is a strong girl, she won't be killed by these Bandersnatches easily. You need to trust her." Said Maria while touching Yuuto's shoulder

"Maria-chan….. Okay then, let's go find Shido!" said Yuuto with determination

"Okay, then…" Tohka soon concentrated her minds, something might happens in once a blue moon. Suddenly, a purple energy surrounded her. The energy is strong enough to create small tremor in the ground, even the pebbles were shaking greatly. Yuuto and Maria were confused to what are Tohka going to do? However, Tohka still concentrated her minds. For her in her limited powers and her gullible and childish personality, it's more difficult to summon her Spirit powers. So, she needs even more concentration. After several minutes, Tohka then opens her eyes which turned into more deep purple color. She soon stomped the ground with her heel. Suddenly, the ground shook greatly than before.

"What actually happened!?" Asked Yuuto in confusion

"I also don't know, we should just wait, Kazuraba-kun." replied Maria

Suddenly, from the ground, a golden throne appeared and stood there perfectly. The throne, of course, has dark golden color with several deep carvings in it. There is also a blue crystal in the throne. Tohka then leaped into the throne's seat before kicking the throne to the ground. Soon, the throne fell to the ground with a loud thud with Tohka standing on it.

"Yuuto! Maria! Get here quickly!" said Tohka. Although Yuuto didn't know what Tohka would do with such a throne, he chose to follow her instructions. He soon grabbed Maria and the two soon took a seat in the throne.

"Be careful, you two! This will be a rowdy ride!" said Tohka before tapping the stone twice using her heels. Suddenly, the throne began to move at faster pace. It was really fast that the two needed to hold the throne tightly. The throne soon left out the battlefield in mere seconds.

"Tohka-chan! What the hell is going on!?" asked Yuuto while covering his eyes from the wild winds

"Oh! I summoned my Sandalphon's throne. I used it as a hoverboard as our transportation. Although, I needed a big concentration to summon it. Since, I'm only using my limited release Astral Dress. So, it's harder for me to summon it." explained Tohka. Yuuto doesn't know that the cute Tohka could become more calmer and cooler than he thought. He really needs to interrogate Shido after this.

Meanwhile, Origami has already seen that the three were far enough from her. She soon took a deep breath.

"Hey, all of you scumpy robot! If you want to chase them, stomp my corpse first!" shouted Origami, gaining the android's attention. The remaining Bandersnatches soon surrounds the girl. However, Origami was unfazed by it. She then makes a quick think. Even if she only use a partial of her power, it should be enough to get rid these androids. She didn't expect for using this technique again. From Shido's explanation, this technique was used by her to "accidentally" kill her parents in the old timeline. She didn't think that she is going to use it again. She might be scared for using such a technique, but if she doesn't use this, her mana would be depleted and she would lose. It's a do or die tactic. But, she wasn't scared anymore. Her time with Shido and the others are already become the power for her to keep pushing forward. That's why she will live no matter what. Origami then commanded Metatron to circle above her up in the sky. The crown feathers were circling the area in big radius, covering Origami and the Bandersnatches. All of the feathers were pointing at the ground while circling in very fast speed. Lastly, Origami took a deep breath to execute this move.

"METATRON: ARTERLIF!" shouted Origami

After several minutes riding the 'throne board', Yuuto and the others were surprised to see a beam of light coming far back from their behind. No, a pillar of light is much better to describe it. The pillar of light then hit the ground below it. Yuuto could only watch in shock, the ground where the pillar hit was the place where Origami was at. He could only watch the events with shocked and widened eyes.

"OOOORRIIIIIII-CCCCHAAANNN!" shouted Yuuto

On the other hand, Shido is still fighting against Takato. The condition is bad, Shido was really overpowered by Takato. Not only in fighting experience, but also in strength. This time, Shido tried to slash Takato, but the boy used Camael's handle to protect him. Takato then proceeded by bashing Camael's handle to Shido's gut, giving Takato a big opening. He soon slashes Shido wildly and mercilessly before choking Shido's neck.

"Takato….. Why you must get in my way!?... Miku's life is in stalk!... I don't have time to fight you!"

"That's why you must fight! If you want to save Izayoi, you must get stronger! Beat me! If you can't and die, then you're weak! If you weak, you aren't worthy enough to save Izayoi!" shouted Takato before throwing Shido to the air. He soon bashes Shido's gut, throwing him several meters back. Fortunately, Shido used his Sandalphon to block Takato's attack in the last seconds.

"Not bad, but not good enough." Commented Takato. Shido wiped his bruises and bloods in his face. He was completely in a pinch. Even if he has Kotori's regeneration ability, he only has limited amount of mana. If he wasted it, he won't be able to regenerate again like his case in DEM's raid. Not only that, his muscles is aching greatly, notifying that he already used Sandalphon for too long. If this continue, he will lose by his own weak strength. To make the matter worse, Miku's condition is becoming worse and worse in each second he spent.

"Hmph! What's wrong? Already downed? He, I don't think that the Da'At's representation is really weak like this! You aren't worthy enough to hold such power!" commented Takato

"Yes, I maybe weak…. But, I won't give up! I WILL SAVE MIKU!" shouted Shido before charging to Takato again

Shido soon slashes Takato wildly using his sword again, this time faster and fiercer than before. He knows that it might spend his stamina, but he can't let Miku to wait anymore. Unfortunately, Takato blocked all of it using his Camael. He then parried one of Shido's attack before sending several strong slash to Shido's chest and back, grounding the boy. He then kicks the boy's face before slashing Shido away again. After that he stomped Shido's chest.

"Itsuka Shido…. I can't bare to see such a weak guy like you!" said Takato before punching Shido's face multiple times. He then brings Shido to eye-level before kicking his kidney and punching his back. He also kicks Shido's gut several times before punching his face too. Takato then throws Shido away like a rag doll. Shido's condition is now almost as worse as Miku. In several parts of his body, the regeneration's ability has stopped. There are so many bruises in his face and body. Fresh bloods also keeps leaking from his injuries, nose and mouth. He feels so hurt, he thought that this is the pain that Miku felt after she was beaten by Takato. Even with such injuries, Shido tried to stand again.

"I won't give up now! Not until I save Miku!" shouted Shido before grabbing his Sandalphon again and charging to his enemies again. Shido was surprised to see that Takato already discarded his Camael. He knew that he must use this chance to finish this once and for all. He needs to finish it quickly. Shido then swings his Sandalphon, trying to finish Takato once and for all. However,….

"Good…. Itsuka….. You have such a strong gut…. But, THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!" said Takato while blocking Sandalphon's slash with his bare hand, shocking Shido to death. Not only that, Takato then points his flintlock to Shido's stomach before releasing several bullets, throwing Shido back. Shido now coughs so much blood from his mouth while holding his injured stomach. It seems that Kotori's regeneration ability has reached it's apex. But, what made Shido was shocked is the weapon used by Takato.

"That's….. Kurumi's Angel: Zafkiel!" said Shido shocked

"Hmph! Yes, this is Spirit Nightmare's Angel. But, don't ask me how I got this. In battle, you must do anything to win it. Except, winning it from stabbing your opponents' back!" said Takato

Shido tried to stand but his muscles were already aching greatly. He couldn't use Sandalphon again, it's already burden him. His sights were now blurry and he even couldn't hear anything again. Deep in his heart, he wants to just fall unconscious and let everything goes like it's way. But, he doesn't want to give up yet. Yes, even in his current condition, Shido still stands up. He won't let himself fall, not until he saves Miku. Yes, for Miku's sake, Shido is going to push forward. Even if it means that his body is going to be destroyed.

"Miku… Miku….. I won't give up… I won't give up….. FOR YOUR SAKE!" said Shido while regaining his strength. He holds his Sandalphon again with more determination than ever. Even if Tohka and Origami will cry if they see his condition now, he will save Miku no matter what. Even if it means that he must die!

"Great, Itsuka! Hit me with everything! I will go all out this time! ZAFKIEL!" shouted Takato before summoning a big golden clock behind him. He also summoned two guns, one is a flintlock gun and the other one is a musket. He then motioned his hand into one o'clock position in front of the clock. Suddenly, a shadow mist came from the number 1 from the clock before it was absorbed by the guns.

"Zafkiel: Aleph!" shouted Takato before shooting himself with the bullet. Suddenly, Takato disappeared from Shido's sight. Before he could react, Takato already kicked Shido's gut, pushing him several meters back. However, Shido controlled his body so he still could stand. Unfortunately, Takato didn't stop his assault. He then shot several bullets from Zafkiel to Shido while bashing his guns to the boy. However, Shido blocked most of his attacks, only several bullets managed to hit him. Enough with defending, Shido starts attacking. He then slashes Takato with all of his might, even if Sandalphon is already very heavy for him. However, Takato countered this using a multiple bashing from Zafkiel. He also shot Shido's shoulder, but it gave Shido more strength to attack him. Their weapons are clashing now.

"Huh! You're stronger than before, Itsuka. I'm really surprised, especially in your condition. I really wonder how did you get such a strength?" Said Takato while keep bashing Zafkiel

"Just like what you said, should I answer it? Because, even if I answer it, you will never understand it!" Shido then slashes Takato's musket away, leaving him with only the flintlock. Using this opening, Shido then tries to slash Takato again. Takato reactively shot several bullets from Zafkiel, hitting Shido's stomach, shoulder, hand and cheek. But, Shido wasn't unfazed by it. Instead, he gathered more strength in this swing. Shido tried to slash Takato, but the boy dodged it. However, Shido used his leg to disarm Takato. Seeing this, Takato tried to leap backward. But, Shido didn't give him a chance. He soon jumped to approach Takato.

"Take this!" shouted Shido before slashing his Sandalphon. After several seconds, it was revealed that Shido managed to cut Takato's left arm. However, Shido's stomach was also injured greatly. He was also slashed by Takato's Raphael El Re'Em. In the last second, Takato summoned his mighty lance to guard himself while countering Shido. Though, he still lost his left arm.

"How is it….?" asked Shido with raspy breath. He already lost so much stamina because of their previous clash. He didn't know if he could keep up again if the battle is longer than he thought. He is also still holding his bloodied stomach. He already lost so much blood. If he needs to fight again, he would definitely going to be defeated.

"Hahahahahaha! Great, Itsuka! Great! If I were a normal human, I would definitely going to lose! I really want to know the core of your strength. But let me guess, it's because your care to Izayoi, right? How naïve!" said Takato

"What!?"

"If you just become stronger if your friends were injured, you're also weak! How can you protect your friends if you can't protect them from getting injured!?" Shido was shocked. What Takato said was right. His strength really came from his worry and unwavering resolve to save Miku. However, if he only become strong if the others were injured, how he could protect them before they are injured. He needed to become stronger to protect them, not becoming stronger to save them. Although he didn't really like Takato (of course from what he did to Miku), he agreed with all of what Takato said. It's like that Takato is ruthless realist.

"However, it's the end, Itsuka. It's already checkmate." Said Takato, shocking Shido. He doesn't know what Takato meant until he saw it. Yes, a purple flame suddenly engulfed Takato's left limb which was cut by Shido. The flame got bigger and bigger and after several seconds, the flame was diminished. Shido was shocked to death, the flame regenerated back Takato's lost limb perfectly. Unlike Takato's, Shido's regeneration ability only regenerate any scars, shots, injuries, or internal damages but it can't regenerate lost limbs. If Shido lost his arms, his regeneration ability won't save it. However, Takato's ability surpassed his expectations. Takato is surely stronger than him.

"See! This is my power! The power that I seek! You won't win now, Itsuka!" said Takato, mocking Shido. Although Shido knew that he can't win this fight no matter what, he must fight him. This is the only way he could save Miku or else, he will lose Miku forever. He then holds his Sandalphon tightly.

"Bring it on! I will be ready!" said Shido with determination

"Great, but don't cry if you are going to follow Izayoi's footsteps. I won't hold back now!" said Takato before disappearing from Shido's sight

Shido couldn't believe that Zafkiel's Aleph ability still remained functional. Before Shido could react, Takato already stood beside him. He soon thrusts his lance to Shido, throwing him several meters back. Not wasting time, Takato soon charges to Shido again. He slashes Shido wildly and mercilessly like a wild animal. Even Shido couldn't block all of his attacks. He slashes him several times before slashing Shido's feet, grounding him. Takato then slashes his Raphael El Re'Em continuously to Shido's chest before stomping him. He soon forcefully pulls Shido up before kicking his bloodied stomach several times before punching Shido's chest. Shido now coughs so much blood than ever. Takato then chopped Shido's back before grounding him again.

"Feel the real pain! Raphael El Na'As!" shouted Takato before summoning the pendulum-type Angel. He is mercilessly whipping Shido's back. Shido felt an excruciating pain, but he needs to stay awake. He mustn't let his consciousness take over. However, Shido is already at the apex of his stamina. His sight is already blurred, his hearings is almost disabled, and because the strong pain, he already couldn't feel the pain anymore. Not finished there, Takato uses his pendulum to choke Shido's neck. He also charged a typhoon from Raphael El Re'Em before releasing Shido from Na'As. Takato then slashes Shido with the energy typhoon from his lance, ripping Shido's uniform completely, leaving him half-naked. Before Shido could get up, Takato fired several bullets to Shido, injuring him greatly. Now, all of Shido's body became a sea of blood. He almost lost his consciousness, but he needs to endure it.

"How is it, Itsuka!? This is the real hell! The hell that Izayoi also experienced!"

"I WON'T GIVE UP!" shouted Shido before releasing a big wide-arc slash from Sandalphon

"Futile!" Takato then thrusts his lance to the ground, creating a row of typhoons from the ground, easily blocking and destroying Shido's blast. The typhoons hit Shido too, bleeding him even more. Now, Shido even thinks that Kotori's regeneration ability has already stop for good. Takato then summoned Zafkiel again, but without the golden clock.

"Zafkiel: Zayin!" shouted Takato before shooting a bullet from Zafkiel, completely stopping Shido's motion. Unlike Kurumi who needs to summon the giant clock first, Takato could use Zafkiel's abilities through voices only. He only summoned the giant clock for intimidation only.

"Zafkiel: Het!" Takato then shot himself again multiple times, creating several of his clones. The clones soon surrounded the suspended Shido before summoning Raphael El Re'Em.

"Itsuka Shido, begone." Said Takato coldly before he and the clones released a wind-cutter slash from Raphael El Re'Em. The slashes soon made contact to the suspended Shido before creating a big explosion.

"UUUUUUUUUWWWWWWAAAAAAA!" shouted Shido while being thrown to the wounded Miku's beside by the explosion. Shido's condition is now becoming worse. Not only that his body now becomes a sea of blood, but his regeneration ability has stopped completely. He is clutching his bloodied stomach and shoulder He might even think that Tohka and the others will cry if they see him in such condition. Shido then sees Miku is beside him. Her condition has become worse than before. Shido even didn't see her breathing at all. Slowly, he tried to reach Miku's face with his bloody hand.

"Miku….." said Shido weakly while trying to reach Miku. However, his hand was stomped by Takato, making the boy wailed in pain.

"How is it, Itsuka? This is my true power! The differences between our powesr is so big. I pity you that you could only use Sandalphon while you yourself have sealed 7 Spirits! You should have your other powers! This is the punishment for the weak! The weak should be gone from this world! ONLY THE STRONG LIVES!" said Takato while stomping Shido's hand even more, making Shido wailed non-stop

Before Takato could do anything anymore to Shido, he felt something. He soon jumped away from Shido while reflecting a blast using his lance. He then saw the culprit. It was a gun-wielder Bandersnatches and surely it wasn't alone. There were many Bandersnatches surrounded Takato. They were pointing their gun and sword to the boy. However, Takato was unfazed by it. Instead, he was smiling.

"Heh! Good timing, do you want to feel the real power of the true Da'At?" asked Takato with chilling tone

Meanwhile, Ellen was hiding in a bush nearby the Nihon Factory. She clearly remembered the good and annoying orders for her. The good one is of course from Wescott and the annoying one… I don't need to say it anymore. Ellen once again remembered their perfect plan.

"Ellen, I want you to just watch the fight between your Bandersnatches and that boy." Said Wescott

"But, Ike, why!?" protested Ellen

"It's simple. We don't know how strong our opponent is. Blindly charge is only give a failure."

"But, Ike, I'm the strongest wizard in the world! I will defeat him single-handily."

"That's right, but we should remember that this boy has the same power like Itsuka Shido. He also looked strong, he might be surpassing Itsuka by 1000 times. That's why, it's too dangerous to pick a fight with him. We need to gather data first. After that, we should think our next movement. Even I'm not sure that you and Toru-kun will win against him." Explained Wescott, making Ellen made a disgusted glance to Toru. She is paired with Toru!? She prefers to not eat for a year than teaming up with Toru!

"You're right, Scotty. He is sure looked strong. Then, I have a plan. Would you hear it out?" said Toru

"Spit it out." Said Wescott

"Since we know that that boy has Izayoi Miku in tow, it would obviously attract Itsuka-kun's attention. So, how about if Ellen-chan gives a distraction to the boy? She could summon the Bandersnatches to do the job while also recording some data. We let Itsuka-kun and Miku-chan leave the scene. When I see an opening, I will accomplish it perfectly." Explained Toru

"What a brilliant plan! Ellen, follow Toru's instruction." Said Wescott. This surely pissed Ellen even more. She should be the one who orders the others, not being the one who is ordered by this annoying boy. But, she needs to keep calm. Since this is for the sake of DEM, she has no choice but to follow it.

And that's how Ellen got into this situation. She will surely give Toru a firm lesson if she has the chance. Suddenly, she heard a big explosion from the factory. She soon focused her sight to the factory. She was surprised to see most of her Bandersnatches were thrown out from the factory and became a scrap of junk. She then saw a blue-haired boy came out from the factory.

"Do you think that such a robot like you all can touch this Kamon Takato?" said Takato sarcastically, accidentally giving his identity to Ellen. Not wasting time, Ellen summoned more Bandersnatches to surround Takato. She needs to record what the boy could do with his power.

"Another bunch, huh? So be it!" shouted Takato while summoning Raphael El Re'Em and Zafkiel, dua-wielding the weapons. He soon charges to ward several Bandersnatches, slashing their head, limbs, gut and chest easily. When one of them tried to attack him, he guarded it using his lance before shooting the android using Zafkiel. He also used Zafkiel to attack air-borne or long-ranged type Bandersnatches. Not only that, he dodged all of the android's attack as if he was dancing. He parried one attack before slashing or shooting them. After several minutes, he discarded his flintlock-Angel.

"Raphael El Na'As!" shouted Takato before summoning the pendulum-Angel. He then cut all of the Bandersnatches using the pendulum for several times, before combining it with his El Re'Em, creating Raphael El Kan'Naf. He then proceeds to shoot the Bandersnatches using his arrows while also slashing any nearby Bandersnatches. Even the air-borne android was also shot down by the arrow-type Angel. Takato then stabbed the arrow to the ground, creating several typhoons that shredded the android mercilessly. He also slashed all of the Bandersnatches using the wind-cutter slash from Raphael El Kan'Naf. However, Ellen packed more Bandersnatches than Takato thought. Seeing nowhere to this, Takato then clenched his fist, collecting a blue energy aura in his fist.

"Hmph! You all scump androids…. Cool down for a sec!" shouted Takato while punching the ground with his blue energy-fist. Suddenly, a huge gust of freezing wind came from the fist, shaking the ground greatly. Seeing this, Ellen used her Territory in the last second before the freezing wind hit her. After several seconds, Ellen spot nothing different was caused by the wind. However, when she tried to move her body, she felt extremely sluggish and her motion was reduced greatly. She even couldn't move her body at faster pace. Ellen then was shocked to see what happened to the Bandersnatches, they were suspended in mid-air. They were falling to the ground at very, very, very slow pace. Not only that, there is a bluish mist covering the entire area.

"Tch! I actually didn't really want to use Zadkiel's power." Regretted Takato. Yes, this abnormal slowdown was caused by Zadkiel's power. It functions similar to Zafkiel's Bet, but Zadkiel's one could be used to cover the entire area, not only on several targets. Takato not only surpassed the Spirits' powers but also made a new technique which an extension to their powers. Not wasting time, Takato then summoned his Camael again.

"Camael: Megiddo!" shouted Takato before morphing Camael from a battle-ax into a cannon. He then pointed the cannon high into the sky before collecting heat energies from his surroundings to the gun's barrel. After several seconds of collecting energies, he soon pressed the trigger, firing a big fireball to sky. After the fireball was gone up into the sky, suddenly there were so many fireballs rained down from the sky which is as big as the previous fireball. The rain of fireballs soon falls to the ground, creating a big explosion. After several minutes, the Bandersnatches were left as nothing but a burned junk. Suddenly, Takato emerged from a shadow of a tree. He used Kurumi's shadow ability to hide himself, not wanting to get burned alongside the Bandersnatches. He soon surveyed the area closely. He also kicked a burned Bandersnatches' head.

"I know you're there! Come out before I force you out!" shouted Takato, knowing about Ellen's hideout. Not having choice, Ellen came out from the bushes. She was also a little burned from the fireballs' rain. Fortunately, she used her Territory so her injuries weren't fatal.

"So, you got me, Kamon Takato." Said Ellen while touching her sword's handle

"Hmph! So, a DEM's dog, huh?"

"Say it again and I will cut you into pieces."

"You already saw me, right? You think you could beat me in such state? Don't be naïve. Your loyalty to Isacc Wescott won't help you beat me!"

"How do you know about Ike?"

"Heh! Said this to Wescott, if he wants to win this battle, better act as real man. Don't puss over behind your people. For me, Wescott is nothing than a pussy cat that always guarded by lion. Well, for him, this words may also just giggle him." Said Takato sarcastically. Ellen doesn't know what happened, but it seems that this boy knows Wescott really well. But, she needs to focus again the boy in front of him. Change plans, she will defeat and finish Takato her once and for all. However, they saw a throne board walked past them before skidding to stop. They were quite surprised to see who rode the throne board. It was Tohka, Yuuto and Maria. Seeing Ellen was here, Tohka soon jumped from her throne before pointing her Sandalphon to Ellen.

"Ellen, what are you doing here?" asked Tohka with murderous tone

"Hmph! Considering yourself lucky." Said Ellen to Takato before teleporting from the field

"Heh! I should be the one who said that!" said Takato. Seeing that Ellen was gone, the three soon give their attention to Takato. Yuuto doesn't know why but Takato has a really dark aura. Heck, even such aura could even choke him now. Even Tohka is shivering greatly from seeing the boy.

"You…. Who are you?" asked Yuuto

"Hmph! Kazuraba, let me introduce myself, I'm Kamon Takato." Introduced Takato

"What did you do Shido and Miku!?" asked Tohka angrily

"Just showing them the true strength and hell. It's no use if you enter the factory now, Itsuka and Izayoi already disappeared several minutes ago."

"Kamon-san, what exactly your purpose to attack Shido and Miku-san?" asked Maria

"I already said that it's to show them the true power!"

"But, you injured them right!?" said Tohka angrily

"That's a punishment for the weak! If you are strong, you won't get injured like that! Only strong that live, the weak should perish! Considering yourself lucky, Yatogami. I don't have time to deal with you. But, the next time we meet, I will teach you the true strength and hell."

"Oi, Takato, what are you saying!? You just beat Shido and Miku just because their weak!? If you're strong, why you use your power to oppress the others. If you're really strong, use your power to protect the others!" protested Yuuto

"Naïve, Kazuraba! The strong one has the right to do what they want to the weak! That's this world rule!" replied Takato angrily

"You…" Tohka already lost her patieance. However, suddenly, Origami appeared in front of her, stopping Tohka from doing foolish actions.

"Ori-chan!" said Yuuto, relieved to see that Origami is alright

"Tohka, we aren't in that guy's level. We would be defeated if we pick a fight now." Said Origami while calming Tohka

"Hmph! I must say that Tobiichi is one of the qualified Spirit. But, let's save it for another time. Also, Kazuraba! Better be careful with your naiveté . So, you better protect Ars and the others, especially your mother and little sister." Said Takato, shocking Yuuto

"What!? How do you know about Kaa-san and Mio-chan? Hey wait!" said Yuuto while trying to chase Takato. But, the boy has already disappeared from the scene.

'Damn! Where is he? Kaa-san, what secret that you hid from me and Mio-chan?' Thought Yuuto

"Kazuraba-kun! Shido and Miku-san weren't here." Said Maria, snapping Yuuto from his thought

"Okay, let's search them now! They must be not far from here." Replied Yuuto

Meanwhile, Shido is carrying the injured Miku. Shido is having a hard time carrying Miku, his breath already raspy and his muscles are aching greatly. His sight and hearing are reduced now and he even wants to lay down now. But, Shido knows that he can't! He must get Miku to safety, he must save her, he doesn't want to lose her for real. That's why, he will keep walking even if his body is at the limit now. His love to Miku is also the reason why Shido can go as far as now. He already promised to Miku that he will always protect her no matter what. He won't break his promise.

"Miku…. Just wait…. We almost there….." said Shido to the injured Miku. Shido then glanced Miku for a sec. He was shocked that Miku's face is really pale like ghost. He then put Miku down for awhile.

"Miku…. Can you hear me? Miku, Miku. It's me Shido, Miku." Said Shido while shaking Miku's body. However, when Shido put his finger near to Miku's nose, he didn't feel her breath at all.

"Oi, Miku… Don't joke now….. Please, wake up, Miku! Wake up, wake up! Miku! Miku! Miku!" shouted Shido tearly while shaking the Diva's body

"Please don't leave me, Miku! I love you! I really love you! That's why, please wake up! MIIIIIIKKKKKKKKUUUUUU!" However, Miku didn't flinch at all. Seeing no other choice, Shido pumped Miku's chest, hoping to awaken her. He even almost didn't feel her heartbeat when pumping her chest.

"Miku, please, say something! Wake up! Don't leave me! I LOVE YOU, MIKU!" shouted Shido while pumping Miku's chest. But, it was futile. Miku was unfazed by it. Shido could only look at Miku's injured body with teary eyes. Several cold tears hit Miku's face. Shido then hugged Miku tightly.

"I'm sorry, Miku….. I'm sorry… I couldn't save you….. I'm sorry….." said Shido while gritting his teeth. He blamed himself for being weak. Takato was right, it's because he is naïve and also he is weak that he couldn't save Miku.

"But, you know…. I really love you, Miku….." In his sadness, Shido remembered that Miku has Requiem ability on her Gabriel. It has analgesic and painkiller for injuries. He hopes that technique could ease up Miku and his injuries. He really hopes to the God that this will save Miku. Shido then concentrated his minds. He has only used Tohka, Yoshino, Kotori and Natsumi's power and he hadn't used Miku's one. So, this is going to be challenging, but he needs to do it or else Miku will die. After concentrating his minds, Shido then began to sing.

Futashikana mondai niwakani shoujita ERAA

Fureta totan SORE ga ki ni naru no desu ai to ha…

Hajirai/ fuan/ jiko gisei miekakure suru kotae

Deai kara atsumeta kanjou INSUTOORU

Tozasareta kono dennou sekai de Ah umarete hajimete shitta koi
Takanaru kodou ga kasou demo mou sukoshi kanjitetai
Tojikometa itsuwari no sekai de mune no oku atsuku tokeru denshi
Motome tsuzuketa ai no imi kienu you ni kizande INSUTOORU

After Shido sang that song, he looks Miku's face again. He hopes that song's effect has kicked in. However, after several seconds, he didn't see any moves from Miku. This downed Shido once again. This time, Shido couldn't save Miku. However, Miku finally coughed, giving Shido's attention.

"Uhuk….. Dar….. Ling….." said Miku weakly while opening her indigo eyes

"Miku, can you hear and see me? It's me, Shido!" said Shido, a bit relieved

"Yes, Darling… I can see and hear you…. Also, I feel more relaxed….. I feel the pain almost gone now….. I almost don't feel it anymore…." Said Miku. True to her words, Shido also felt that his wounds and injured aren't as painful as before. He even didn't feel that his muscles are aching again. Instead, he feels much better now. However, Requiem ability only lessens their pain, but it doesn't heal their injuries. Their body are still bleeding from the wound. So, they need to find Kotori as fast as they can.

"Miku, are you feel much better now?" asked Shido

"Yes, Darling….. I felt much better than before….." said Miku before coughing bloods

"Don't talk now, Miku. Let's bring you to Kotori. She and the Ratatoskr will heal you."

"Yeah…. Thanks, Darling… But….. Before that….. Can you fulfill… My wish?" asked Miku

"Sure, what is it?"

"Please kiss me again…" said Miku, surprising Shido. But, a little kiss won't be bad at all. After all, Miku needs a little enjoyment after going through such a hell. Shido then nods to Miku's wish. They close their eyes before their lips are approaching each other.

"Miku, I love you…." said Shido while trying to kiss Miku

"I love you too, Darling….." said Miku with their lips are only a mere inch apart

SPIRIT UP!

ROULLETE! SEIRYU! SPIRIT IS HERE!? IT'S OUR SHOWTIME!

ROULLETE! SUMMON: RAPHAEL! GODDESS OF WINDS!

Suddenly, Toru pointed his Sonic Raphael to Shido before releasing an arrow from the bow. The bow soon made contact to Shido, throwing him several meters away.

"Uwwwaa!"

"Darling!" shouted Miku in surprised. Not wasting time, Toru jumped into the field before slowly approaching the downed Miku.

"Who are you!?" asked Miku

"You could call me Tech Kamen Seiryu. Just call me Seiryu." Said Toru in his armor, now dubbed as Tech Kamen Seryu. Before Miku could react, she was forcefully pulled up by Seiryu before she was slashed wildly by the Tech Kamen. After slashing Miku, he choked the girl's neck.

"Miku! Hey, you! What are you doing!?" said Shido worried to Miku

"What am I doing? Isn't it obvious. I'm here to eliminate the 9th Spirit, Izayoi Miku." Said Seiryu before punching Miku's stomach several times. The punches were stronger than Takato's one and Miku coughed even more bloods and saliva than before. He also kicked Miku's stomach before grounding her. Seiryu then slashed Miku's body several times with the Sonic Raphael before stomping the girl's chest. He soon pulls Miku up before slashing her back several times and also stabbing the girl's stomach from behind. He then grounded Miku again before stomping Miku's beautiful face.

"How is it, Miku-chan?" said Seiryu in a low tone, but it seriously a deadly tone. Miku could only watch helplessly that she was beaten by the mysterious Tech Kamen.

"Stop it!" Shido then summoned his Sandalphon again. Although he still couldn't use the sword properly due to his low stamina, but he must save Miku no matter what.

"Heh! Futile!" said Seiryu before blocking Sandalphon's attack with the Sonic Raphael. He then slashed Shido several times before kicking Shido's stomach. Before Shido could recompose, he was grabbed by Seiryu before he was punched by him multiple times in the face. Shido was kicked in the stomach before he was madly slashed by Seiryu. Shido tried to slash the armored Toru with Sandalphon but Seiryu managed to parry it and disarming Shido.

"Darling!" shouted Miku worried. Shido was grounded by Seiryu before he was stomped again.

"You, Seiryu, why did the hell you attack me and Miku!?" asked Shido

"It's simple. I attacked you because you're in my way to accomplish my mission. I was ordered to eliminate Miku-chan since she is a Spirit, right?" replied Seiryu

"But, why!? Spirits are innocents being, they never triggers Spacequakes with their own will! They just attack the AST because they are always hurt by them! They are innocent!"

"Well, too bad. Order is order." Said Seiryu before pulling Shido up and slashing him, throwing him back several meters back. He then shot several arrows to Shido, bleeding the boy even more. He also shot Shido's gut, making the boy coughing sea of bloods form his mouth. Now, Shido is clutching his bloodied stomach. He couldn't even get up now, he already lost his stamina from the previous fight. He can't do anything anymore.

"Darling!"

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about you." said Seiryu before kicking Miku's face. He then proceeded to slash Miku wildly using his bow before shooting several arrows to the Diva, injuring her even more than before. All of her body now bleeds so much blood. Before Miku could get up, she was kicked in the stomach by Seiryu multiple times. The Tech Kamen then slashed Miku's back wildly before stomping her back. He soon pulled Miku up before stabbing her stomach several times. Now, Miku even couldn't feel anything again. She already experienced so much pain that she can't feel it anymore. Even she couldn't hear and see her surroundings again. She coughed so much bloods and saliva from her mouth. Seeing this, Shido was even more shocked and watched Miku in horror. Seiryu then shot Miku back several meters. He then takes out his Spirit Roulette from the Spirit Brace before placing it in the Sonic Raphael.

SET UP! GET HYPED PEOPLE! GET HYPED PEOPLE!

Suddenly, Shido grabbed Seiryu's foot, begging him to not kill Miku.

"Please…. Don't kill Miku…. Please….. I love her…. I really really really love her….. I can't bare if I lose her…" begged Shido while crying so hard. He really doesn't want to lose Miku. They still have little time to spend with. Shido can't live on if Miku dies in front of his eyes.

"Ouuu… So sweet….. But, that sweetness made me want to crush your relationship more!" said Seiryu before stomping Shido's head and kicking his face. Not wasting time, Seiryu pulled the bow string to the fullest length. The bow was directed right into Miku's chest. Even a crossmark appeared in her chest.

"Bye bye, Miku-chan." Said Seiryu while releasing the string, making Shido widened his eyes and shouted really hard

"SSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

RAPHAEL: OVERLOAD!

The arrow flied at sonic speed before piercing through Miku's chest. The arrow struck Miku's heart and also her indigo-colored Sephira Crystal. Those two things then fell to the ground with a loud echo sound.

"Dar…..Ling…" said Miku for the last time before she fell to the ground with a loud thud. Seeing this, Shido fell to his knees, not knowing what to do. Seiryu the approached the Sephira Crystal while also stomping Miku's heart. He soon grabbed the indigo crystal.

"Such a beautiful crystal. I bet Scotty would like it very much." Said Seiryu before walking past Shido. However, Shido grabbed him tightly and not wanted to release it.

"You…. Why… WHY DID YOU KILL MIKU!?" shouted Shido while bursting into tears. Seiryu then grabbed Shido's neck.

"Listen, I just do any orders that I get. I will accomplish all of the orders even if I need to dirt my own hands!" replied Seiryu

"Why don't you kill me!? Why you must kill Miku!?"

"I wasn't ordered to kill you, Itsuka-kun. Bye now." Said Seiryu, trying to leave the scene, but he was still grabbed by Shido

"Give back! That's Miku's!" protested Shido

"Really? If you want to save her, you should have defeated me beforehand. Letting Miku-chan died was all of your fault. If you're strong, then this won't happen. It was because you're weak…." Said Seiryu before slashing Shido using Sonic Raphael, throwing the boy several meters back. After that, Seiryu turned off the Spirit Roulette.

OTSUKARE!

"Sorry, Itsuka-kun. But, order is order." Said Toru before leaving the scene

It was already dawn at Tenguu City. On a nearby riverbank, Takato is watching the beauty of Tenguu River at sunset. The water that reflects the sunlight sure is beautiful. He was pondering about something all of this time.

"So….. DEM now has 2 Spirits, huh? Well, let it be. I could still gather the remaining Crystal while also taking the one that they have now. Or I should hijack them when they got all of the Crystals. No matter which method that I will use, I will surely bring you back, Rio-neechan." Said Takato while seeing a pink-colored Sephira Crystal in his hand

On the other side, Toru is at DEM's building's rooftop. He was also watching the sunset. Sometimes, he also glances the indigo-colored Sephira Crystal and a photo in his hands. He is remembering about what Wescott had said.

"Scotty, I already got Miku-chan's Crystal." Said Toru

"Marvelous! You're my truly remarkable son, Toru. I'm really proud of you." said Wescott

"Hm, thanks, Tou-san. Anyway, here the Sephira Crystal."

"Don't worry, Toru. You could keep it for awhile."

"Really, Tou-san!?"

"Of course."

"Haa… I only have got one… There're still 9 more. It's surely a long way, huh?" said Toru to himself

"But, don't worry. It won't be long until I get all Sephira Crystals. So, wait for Onii-chan, Yoshino." Said Toru to the photo that he was holding. The photo contained the picture of him with a wavy blue-haired girl with a hand puppet in her left hand.

Sephira Crystals/Spirits' Count:

In Toru/DEM's possession: 2

In Shido & Yuuto's possession: 6 + 1 Special

In Takato's possession: 1 Special

Roaming: 2

That's the end of chapter 3. Well, maybe all of you will hate Takato for being a douchebag. Even I also don't really like Takato who my OC. Anyway, there's so many tears, bloods and twists. I don't even think that this fic is on the rate of 'T' anymore. Should I increase it 'M' rate? Man, this is Date A Live, right? Since when Date A Live became so much ghore and dark like this. Anyway, thanks for enjoying this chapter and let's give a moment of respect for the late Izayoi Miku. She might be cling and lesbian, but she is a good and kind girl. Thanks for Miku's VA: Chihara Minori for living up Miku's life, at least in this fic. You deserved a bouquet of flower now. This is Miku's last major appearance. She might be back in the future, but only minor or as flashback. And now let's move on. What is behind Triple K. (Kazuraba, Kamon and Kobayashi)'s family problems? Be sure to keep in touch with this fic. Lastly, the following chapters now will focus on Yuuto and Natsumi. What is behind these two's relationship? Be sure to wait it. Well, see you later for more true dragon's roar.
