Mikan ran and ran, towards the western section of the Dracman Capital till she saw a terrifying /Bodies littered the ground with blood splayed all over, buildings crumbled, but all Mikan could see was Ella, on the ground covered in blood and debris, an arm and leg detached from from her body with blood dripping down the side of her mouth. br /"Mi-Mikan?" Ella called, her lone arm reaching out toward her friend./p
p dir="ltr"Mikan rushed to her side cradling Ella's body, "I'm here, I'm here Ella. You don't have to worry, we'll get you to a doctor, you'll be fine." Mikan said tearing up, Ella smiled faintly./p

The sound of a bomb going off nearby made her flinch, giving Roy a chance to grab her and pull her out of harms way. Fighting against his hold, Mikan reached towards Ella's limp body, when suddenly the area was swarmed by Dracman soldiers./p
