The next morning Misao had showed up at Ayano's house all bruised from the attack last night.
"So a yoma attacked the nunnery you were in?" asked Ayano as she, Ren, and Kazuma sat at a table with Misao.
"That's correct, but it wasn't just any yoma, it was the yoma king of fire," said Misao as she looked at the cup of tea in her hands.
"Pirein's on earth?!" asked the three who were real shocked that he was here.
"Yes," said Misao as she remembered what happened to the sisters that did not make it out, and as she remembered her hands begun to tremble.
"It'll be alright Misao, we will stop him," said Ayano as she walked up to her in order to help her come down.
"But how can Pirein be on earth, a total of five-thousand fire yoma need to be killed in order to free him," said Kazuma. Everyone then started to think of how this could have happened, when suddenly Ren got an idea
"I think I know how," said Ren with freaked eyes.
"What is it Ren?" asked Ayano.
"Back when Bernhardtt was attacking Japan several humans had turned into yoma," said Ren.
"And we all killed some, but Kazuma killed the most," said Ayano as she cot onto what Ren was saying.
"Yeah, but I remember all of the yoma I killed, and there weren't that many fire type yoma," said Kazuma.
"Maybe this Bernhardtt killed some," said Misao as she looked at them.
"But why would he want to release Pirein?" asked Ayano.
"Damn," said Kazuma as he figured out why he would do that.
"What is it Kazuma?" asked Ayano.
"Bernhardtt want's power, I think he's after the four yoma element stones," said Kazuma.
"But to get them he would have to kill each of the four yoma kings," said Ayano who knew what he was getting at.
"And he would have to wake them all up by meeting their certain conditions," said Ren.
"Well he found Pirein's way, and he must have the wind stone already," said Kazuma.
"He's right, when Kazuma first came here you both took out the yoma of wind," said Ren as he remembered back to that time.
"That means he wants you to kill them," said Misao.
"And he knows we won't just let them hurt people," said Ayano with an enraged face. Suddenly, the news channel came on and the anchor man was talking about a monster that was attacking down town.
"Looks like we have no choice but to fight," said Kazuma with a series face. A few minutes later the three landed on the roof of a building down town thanks to Kazuma's wind cloud.
"Alright where is he?" asked Ayano as she looked over the edge of the building. The screams of two girls then echoed throw the air, drawing the three to the west side of the building. When Ayano saw the source of the screams she was shocked to see Nanase and Yukari backed up against a wall with a blood red monster with black flames covering its body standing before them.
"Oh no!" said Ayano as she jumped off the building.
"Ayano wait!" said Kazuma as he chased after her followed by Ren, the three used their powers to break their fall so they did not get hurt. Down on the ground, Ayano had already started to attack Pirein, giving the two girls time to run and hide.
"Leave them alone you damn yoma," said Ayano as she shot fire balls from Enraiha, but as the balls hit his skin they did no damage at all, instead they were absorbed into him.
"Ayano stop attacking him, he draw's the power of fire to make himself more powerful!" said Ren. Next thing they did, Pirein shot a dark fire ball at Ayano which was stopped by a wall of wind created by Kazuma; however, the force of the blast knocked her backwards.
"Ayano are you alright?" asked Kazuma as he checked on her.
"Sorry about that, but he was about to kill Nanase and Yukari, so do me a favor and help me beat him," said Ayano as she held her hand out with the butt of Enraiha held out to him.
"Alright," said Kazuma as he helped her to her feet.
"Ren, you cover us," said Ayano as she held Enraiha out with the help of Kazuma.
"Ok," said Ren as he ran out in front of them. Both Kazuma and Ayano then began their sayings for their powers.
"Hear me spirits of the wind, in the name of the contract, entrust me with your power," said Kazuma as his door opened. Meanwhile in Ayano's own soul.
"Oh spirits of the flame, hear my wish and grant me your power," said Ayano as her door opened too. Meanwhile, Ren was using a shield of fire to protect himself and some others who had been hiding from Pirein's attack.
"Are you two ready yet?" asked Ren.
"We're ready," said Kazuma.
"So you might want to move," said Ayano.
"Got it," said Ren as he turned to face them and saw Enraiha with a purple flame on the tip of the blade.
"Take this!" said Ayano.
"The power of two contractors combined!" said Kazuma. Once Ren moved out of the way with the others, the two shot a purple flame at Pirein which engulfed his entire body.
"Is it over?" asked Ayano as she and Kazuma fell to their knees exhausted. Suddenly, something appeared in the purple fames.
"It is, and thanks to you my master now has two of the four element stones," said Lapis as she walked out of the flames.
"Lapis, why are you here?" asked Ren who was ready to fight.
"To recover the element stone of fire for Master Bernhardtt," said Lapis.
"I won't let you take it," said Ren as he went to attack her, but his attack missed as she vanished from sight.
"Man," said Ren with a mad face.
"Ren," said Kazuma as he and Ayano sat on the ground. Ren turned to them and ran over to check on the two to see how they were doing.
"Don't worry guys, I'll call an ambulance," said Ren as he pulled out his cellphone.
