Chapter 36: Sacrifice
*Normal P.O.V.*
"Of course I am. Took you long enough," he said as he stood up and dust himself off.
Sting stuck out his tongue to Rogue, "So, it seems you taken out the captives now we need to defeat the enemies," he said as he smirk.
Aria roll her eyes and ignores Sting as she went to her brother, relief that he's okay. She glares at him which flinch Nick afraid that his sister is angry at him. He closed his eyes waiting for her to hit him or scold him but a warm sensation came to him.
He slowly open his eyes to see his sister hugging him. He hugged her back as he's happy that his sister is here. Aria pulls away and looked up to Nick.
"You okay? That guy didn't do anything to you, right?" Aria asked worriedly as she examine Nick.
Nick smile and shook his head, "No, he just chain us up with a sealing magic chain for us not to use our magic," he answer.
"No wonder you're so pale," Aria said to Nick then backs away when she heard Plue.
Nick nervously laugh at Aria who chuckle and turns around to Lucy. She smiles at her as she handed over Plue who keeps saying, 'Punpun'.
"Here's Plue, Lucy-nee. Your Nikora sure is a brave one. Thanks to him and Frosch we arrived here as fast as we can," Aria said to Lucy.
Lucy took Plue and hugged him tightly. "Yeah, he sure is a brave one. Thank you Plue, you did well. You should return to the Celestial World," Lucy said to Plue.
"Pupun!" Plue said before he disappear.
Aria went over to Yukino asking her if she's okay as well, which she gladly said yes except, that their keys are still on Gary's. Aria then heard a groan and turns around to see Gary standing up while rubbing the back of his head. Everyone looked at him and made a stance waiting for Gary's next move.
Groaning, Gary cracked his neck and take a look at them.
Then, in a mocking tone he said, "It seems that reinforcements has arrived, but only 2 brats? And…. two flying kitty cats?"
Growling at Gary's insults, Aria summoned her 2 swords and charged at him.
Glaring at him she shouts, "Damn you! I won't forgive you for kidnapping my brother, my cousin AND my friend!"
As he smirked, Gary leered into Aria's eyes as his eyes began to glow.
"ARIA!" Rogue called out, "Don't look into his eyes! That's how he manipulates people!"
Sting and the others looked at Rogue with wide eyes as they finally understood how Gary's manipulation worked. Glancing at Rogue, Aria nodded head and closes her eyes and runs even faster towards Gary.
Looking at Aria, Gary asked,"Heh, how can you attack me if you can't even see me?"
Smirking, Aria ran directly in front of Gary, surprising him. Using it, Aria then swung her swords towards Gary who quickly backed away, but still got slightly cut in his arms.
Aria clicked her tongue as she knew that she neither hit him directly, nor inflicted heavy injury. She stood up, still keeping her eyes closed and smirking.
Using her keen hearing to keep track of everyone's breathing and sounds, Aria said, "I don't need to see where you are old man. As long as I have my ears I can hear every movement you make."
Concentrating her magic onto her right sword, she shouts, "Holy arrow!" launching a glowing white arrow at Gary, hitting him in the side.
Growling from the pain, he glared at Aria, shouting, "You! I knew that you were a pain in the ass!"
"MINERVA!" Gary shouted, realizing that taking Aria down would not be as easy as he thought.
Minerva quickly charged towards Aria, her hands glowing with darkly coloured auras. Since she heard Gary call Minerva, Aria prepared herself to face her. Of course everyone including the twins knew how strong Minerva was and even though Aria never fought her it wasn't like she was scared or anything.
As Minerva closed in on Aria, she didn't notice Minerva coming nearer. And as she reached closer and closer, Sting called out, "ARIA! Look out!"
This made Aria snap open her eyes and when she did she saw that Minerva was about to punch her. In an effort to protect herself, Aria crossed her arms in a defensive stance.
Minerva pulled her fist back as she twisted her arms which made Aria twist and become upside-down. Minerva then swung her arm to the side, causing Aria to swing as well and hit the wall on the side with so much force that it cracked.
Minerva then dropped her arm, freeing Aria, causing her to fall, luckily, she landed on her feet and was not very badly injured. Glaring at Minerva, Aria charged back at her as their battle started.
Aria sent her swords back and concentrated her magic into her palms, and she said, "Eat this! White Cannon!" as she released a huge laser beam at Minerva, causing an explosion, and as the dust settled,
Minerva stepped out, a few bruises and cuts but relatively unharmed.
She countered by releasing her territory magic waves, lifting up Aria and hitting her at multiple points, in the pain she cried out, "Hnnh! I won't lose!" then she re-summoned her swords and threw them at Minerva, who stopped them in mid-air, while Aria was trying to figure out what to do next, she realized that she was unable to move.
The others watched the two fight, but Sting was the first one to snap out of it and turned to Gary who was watching them fight with an amused look on his face. Growling at him, Sting charged at Gary, shouting, "HEY! YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING YOURSELF AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE! WHITE DRAGON'S…"
As Sting was about to punch him, Gary turned, grabbing his arm, saying, "Oh no you don't." and threw him backwards. This momentarily stopped Gary's manipulation, allowing Aria to move. Aria used this time to grab her swords and step away from the attack. Sting landed on his back but quickly stood himself back up, but before he could charge at him again he heard some growls and groans behind him and smelled something horribly rotten.
Sting turned around and saw a few corpses walking towards him, but he quickly backed away, kicking one of the corpses away.
Moving into a battle stance, Sting shouts "White Dragon's Roar!" releasing a laser beam from his mouth, destroying the corpses, the only remnant being the sludgy blood of those undead monstrosities. But even after this more corpses continue to flood into the room, trapping Rogue and the others in a wall of the dead. They prepare themselves as the corpses begin to attack them.
Rogue shouts, "Shadow dragon's Slash!" destroying about 4 corpses, Lucy grabs her whip and whips a corpse into another corpse, causing them to fall down, preventing them from moving, Yukino uses her martial arts to do the same. Using this time, Nick spreads oil all over the weakened zombies and uses his fire blast to set the oil on fire, burning at least a dozen down.
Smirking, Gary watched them fight and at Nick who was fighting as well. He swiftly goes to Nick and grabs his arms, surprising him. "HEY!" Nick protested, "Let go of me!" Growling, Gary tries putting him to sleep.
Although he struggled hard, Gary's magic was too powerful. Hearing Nick's voice, Aria follows it and sees Gary carrying Nick on his back. And when Gary glanced at her, and laughed as he walked away from them.
"NICK!" Aria cried out, "GARY! GIVE ME BACK MY BROTHER!"
Just as she was about to give chase, Minerva stepped in front of her, blocking her way. Looking at Aria, Minerva spoke in a monotone voice with her eyes half-open, "You shall not pass."
Glaring at Minerva, Aria pointed a sword at her, saying, "Get out of my way Minerva. Just because you're a member of Sabertooth does not mean I will hesitate."
Tilting her head Minerva replied, "Huh? I do not know what you are talking about. I don't remember being a member of Sabertooth." and after saying so, she attacked Aria.
Blocking with her swords she looked behind Minerva to see that Gary had already disappeared. And looking around she saw that the others were busy as well. On seeing this scene she murmured to herself "I don't have time for this" accidentally letting down her guard.
Noticing this, Minerva took the chance and landed a devastating blow to Aria's gut, sending her flying. Groaning in pain, Aria watched as Minerva came to land another attack. But before she could do so, someone swings a sword at Minerva, hitting her in her side, sending her flying across the room.
Aria turned around to see Erza and the rest of team Natsu along with Rufus and Orga, enter the room, blasting corpses out of their way. Stretching a hand out at Aria, Erza helped her up saying, "Sorry for the wait, it was harder getting here than we thought."
Smiling at Erza, Aria replied, "No problem Erza, thanks for the help."
Turning around, Lucy ran towards them whipping two corpses out of the way, saying, "Erza! Natsu! Gray! Wendy! Carla! Happy!"
Going towards them Yukino said, "Rufus-sama and Orga-sama too!" while kicking a few corpses out of the way.
As soon as everyone had gathered Aria said in a serious tone, "There's no time for a reunion. Gary just took off with Nick. We need to find them."
Freezing some corpses, Gray said, "Then you, Sting, Rogue, Lucy and Yukino will follow him and get Nick back. The rest of us can take care of this place."
"Yeah," Lucy said, agreeing with Gray, "Since Gary still has our keys, Yukino and I need to take them back."
They all looked at each other and nodded as Gray and Wendy blew a space through the corpses, giving them a way. The 5 ran in the direction Aria say Gary in and it was helped along with the dragon slayer's keen sense of smell.
As they walked, Rogue said, "It's hard to track them. The stench the corpses are making is starting to blot out their scents."
Smiling, Aria replied, "Then why don't we take out a few?"
Turning around, Sting said, "Seems like we'll be doing just that. There's a TON of corpses headed our way, so everybody, prepare for battle."
Taking out her whip, Lucy replied, "I'm always ready."
Entering a fighting stance, Yukino replied, "So am I."
Scraping her swords together, Aria replied, "I don't need to say anything, do I?"
And as they spoke, hundreds of corpse poured in. and as they came closer….
"Crap," Sting said," This will need more power than I thought. Ready Rogue?"
"Anytime."
"White/Shadow drive"
The power surge made their bodies glow with their respective auras. And after this Sting shouted out,
"EVERYBODY ATTACK!"
"WHITE DRAGON'S ROAR!"
"SHADOW DRAGON'S SLASH!"
"HOLY DUST!"
"LUCY KICK!"
"HII-YAH!"
And as such they all fought fiercely, mowing down countless of these re-animated bodies into nothing more than blood and dust.
After destroying about 200 of those corpses, Sting called out, "I'VE GOT THEIR SCENT!"
"Where?" Aria asks worriedly.
Pointing to a corridor on the left Sting replied, "Over there."
When they turned to go down the corridor, they saw a ginormous carved doorway in front of them. Looking at the doorway Rogue said, "Nick is beyond these doors, but I'm feeling powerful magic as well."
"I feel it too." Lucy replied, "And whatever it is, it's huge."
"We're not going to find out anything standing around are we? So Rogue, help me push."
With much effort, Sting and Rogue managed to push the doors open. And when they did, they saw Nick shackled to some sort of machine.
"Oh no." Aria spoke with dread, "Nick."
At this sight, Aria quickly ran over to Nick, seeing that he was very pale with his eyes closed.
Shaking him, Aria yelled, in an effort to wake him, worry increasing with each word she spoke, "NICK? NICK! WAKE UP!"
On hearing his sister's voice, his eyelids twitched. Finally, with a grunt, he opened his eyes and saw Aria looking at him. Aria's expression changes from a worried one to a look of relief.
Panting, and looking very tired he barely managed to sputter out, "A-Aria-chan…" before falling, held in place with the chain that held him.
Touching Nick's cheek, Aria said with worry, "You're getting weaker." As she said this, her gaze turned to the machine.
Looking at the machine, Lucy asked, "What is this machine?" laying her palm on it, and as soon as she did, she felt her magic power getting sucked out, making her feel weak.
Quickly, she removed her palm, the realization dawning on her as she stared at the machine. Speaking out loud, she said, "This machine is some kind of a magic absorber, it will suck out all the magic power a person has until the person dies."
Clapping slowly, Gary stepped out of the shadows with a smug look on his face, "Well done, Lucy Heartfilia, almost entirely correct, but this machine doesn't only absorb magic power, but also amplifies it, and with enough power, it can destroy the world."
Everyone's eyes widened on hearing this.
Glaring at Gary, Aria bellowed, "GARY YOU BASTARD!" as she tried to pull Nick away from the machine, failing to do so. Yukino joined in and tried to help Aria, but even so, the chains held on firm.
Smirking, Gary said, "That chain cannot be broken merely with brute force. It requires a lot of magic power, and I mean a lot," as he started laughing.
Growling even louder, hating that laugh more than anything, Aria was about to launch at him, but before she could, Sing and Rogue blocked her way, confusing her.
Looking at them with a confused look, Aria asked, "Sting? Rogue?"
Gary chuckled at the sight in front of him.
Looking at Aria, Sting spoke, "Aria, let Rogue and me handle Gary. I think that I've heard of this machine, if powered by all the elements and celestial magic it can destroy the world. But Nick is the only one who can give the power of all the elements, so if Nick is separated from the machine…."
"Then the machine can be stopped!" Aria finished, everybody else realizing it the same time, as though she was surprised that Sting knew about the machine.
Looking at the both of them, Aria said, "I trust that you two can buy all of us some time." Sting smirked while Rogue smiled. Sting replied while cracking his knuckles, "Buy some time? We'll defeat him immediately! Let's go Rogue! Dragon force!"
And on saying that glowing white light encased his body while shadows engulfed Rogue's, dragon scales forming on their skin.
Gary smirked as he held up a sword, Lucy's and Yukino's keys dangling on his belt along with a few silver keys which probably belonged to him.
Sting, Rogue and Gary stared off at each other, the atmosphere tensing every second, and then, just when it couldn't get any tenser, Sting looked at Rogue, with a small smile on his face and said "Let's go."
As soon as the words left him, they charged towards Gary, a small light forming in Sting's palm while shadows covered Rogue's lower arms.
Looking at them, Gary smirked, saying "You think that you can beat me with that power? Let me see you try." Saying so, he moved his arms in a circle, and halfway through he raised them, causing two corpses to come out, reaching out as they climbed out of the ground.
As they crawled out, Gary barked out "Now attack!" causing the corpses to fly out and charge at the two dragon slayers, mouth open and screeching.
Sting barreled past the two, aiming straight for Gary as Rogue did a turning slash between the two zombies, sending them flying to opposite walls, killing them on impact. As he stood up from the dust, he glanced at the dead undead and then charged ahead.
Meanwhile Sting had reached Gary, striking him in the abdomen, pushing him backwards. The area that was hit burned away, leaving a stigmata-like rune on his now exposed belly. At this sight, and unable to move, Gary bewilderingly shouted out, "What! I can't move!"
Straightening himself, Sting said "The stigmata of the holy dragon binds all movement, taking away the freedom of those bound by it. Now, you will pay for what you have done to Nick!" On saying this, his fists started concentrating light within them. And then, taking a flying leap, Sting flew towards Gary, staring him straight in the face, forgetting one, and crucial fact.
As Sting stared at him, Gary laughed, saying, "I don't need to move! As long as you stare at me I can control you as I please! Hahaha!" As he said this, Gary's eyes started glowing green, causing a green aura to surround Sting, stopping him mid-flight. Hearing Gary, Sting yelled, trying to look away, "Shit! I totally forgot about that!"
But as this happened, Rogue charged at Gary, unseen by him. When he was close enough, he said, "True, but you cannot look at two people at once," surprising Gary, causing him to look away. Collecting shadows in his mouth he released a roar, at the same time Sting, who was freed from control, attacked with Holy Nova, the combined attacks, devastating the room, leaving a crater where it struck.
Regardless, Gary emerged from the wreckage relatively unharmed, with a few scratches, clapping. "Very good, I must commend you on making it this far, but…" Grabbing a key, he said "This is as far as you go."
Aria, who was watching the battle with the other girls, snapped out of it and ran to Nick's side, concentrating her magic and hitting the chain repeatedly, Lucy and Yukino helping her, but the longer they took, the paler Nick became.
After a lot of hitting the chain finally cracked and shattered, freeing Nick. The three cried out "Nick!" relieved that they freed him before his magic was fully sucked out.
Happy to have freed her brother, Aria fell backwards, falling unconscious from exhaustion. Panting, Nick tried to stand up, asking, "How are Sting and Rogue doing?"
Lucy and Yukino turn to see the battle as Nick follows their gaze, seeing Sting and Rogue getting worn out although Gary only had a few cuts and bruises here and there.
Seeing that Nick was free, Gary growled, his eyes glowing with power as he sent Sting and Rogue flying into a wall, heavily damaging them. Turning to Yukino and Lucy, Gary sent them flying with a single, angry gaze.
Seeing all the people that were special to him hurt, Nick's eyes went wide, he clenched his fists, multicolored auras surrounding him.
Looking at Nick, Gary laughed maniacally, saying, "Not all of your magic was sucked, but the power I have collected can renew a nation, like Fiore! Ahahahaha!"
Looking back fiercely, but careful not to look at his eyes, Nick charged at Gary replying, "I won't forgive you for hurting those who are important to me!"
"Oh," Gary said, "So you think you can defeat me huh? Let's see you try!" Taking a key from his chain, he spoke the incantation, "Fearless warrior of ancient times, I summon thee to the present! Open the gate of the hunter, Orion!"
On saying this a man in armor holding a bludgeon and shield appeared with a sword sheathed on his belt. Circling his arms and raising them, 6 undead rose up from the ground, 3 on the left and 3 on the right. Their mouths opened as gross, red tentacles came out.
Crossing his arms in front him with him palms facing him, Nick uncrossed his arms with his palms now facing the ground, and he raised them. A huge slab of rock flying out of the ground, putting his arms behind him, Nick shouted out, "ROCK CANNON" as he thrust his arms forward, shooting the rock at Orion.
Dropping his bludgeon, Orion unsheathed his sword, slicing the slab straight in the center. Metal grinding with rock, the slab split in two, hitting the undead instead, tearing through them, leaving only legs, which fell.
As Nick charged forward to battle Orion, Gary slipped away to the device, a magic rune appearing on it. Turning a dial in the center, the rune disappeared, a timer in its place, counting down from 15 minutes.
Turning around to see the fight, he saw Nick spreading his arms out. And then going upwards in a spiral, he shouted out "AQUA HELIX!" surrounding Orion in twin spirals of water which solidified and shot out ice rods connecting each other, which passed through the spirit, causing him to disappear in a golden light.
He sigh as he saw Nick still standing. He smirk as he walk towards Nick.
"Stop this Gary, nothing will come up good in destroying and renewing the world," Nick said as he panted.
"Nothing good? I can be the leader of the world if I do that. I'll raise a large army for myself and they will all listen to my commands. You should be happy that it's not the whole world but only a small portion, which is Fiore," Gary reply as he started to laugh.
Nick clench his fist as fire and lightning appear on each of his fist and charge towards Gary and they battle taking hit on each other, dodges the other's hit.
Meanwhile, Aria gain her consciousness and saw Nick fighting Gary which made her worried and wanted to help him but was stopped by Sting.
"No. Nick can take care of himself. What we need to focus on is to deactivate the machine. We only have 10 minutes to destroy it," Sting said to Aria which Aria understood and they both went to the machine trying to deactivate it while Nick is keeping Gary busy.
Nick and Gary continue to fight, both of them are covered with bruises and wounds. Gary who's smirking are gaining the upper hand. Nick glares at Gary panting as he block Gary's attack with his tonfas. Gary can see how tired Nick is, especially since half of his magic energy were transferred to the machine. With one strike on the head, Nick fell down to the ground with a grunt.
Gary stare down at Nick, "Hmph, you can never beat me, Nick-kun," he said and turn his head to look at the machine. When he turned around, to see how many minutes to go, when he saw Aria and Sting trying to deactivate it.
That made him furious and was about to attack them when he felt a weight on his right leg. He look down to see Nick holding his ankle. Nick looks up at Gary with one eye close, but not straight to his eyes. His grip tighten to his leg.
"I...I won't let you…hurt…my sister nor anyone else…" Nick said and froze his right leg and the ice is going up to Gary in a very fast pace.
Gary was surprised that Nick still have magic energy left, and is going to manipulate Nick when the ice suddenly covered his eyes. The ice was moving so fast that he reacted late, more over Nick already close his eyes.
"NOOO-!" Gary scream but got cut off when the ice fully covered him and can't move anymore.
Nick slowly got up, staggering a bit as he look at Gary's frozen figure. He pants as he place his hand on his side and went to check the machine. Nick walked towards the machine where Aria and Sting is having a hard time.
"Damn it! Why is it so hard to stop this thing?" Aria growl as she bang the machine. "Come on Sting, let's destroy this machine," she said furiously and look at Sting.
Sting sigh and shake his head, "We can't Aria, it's hard, and even if we combine our magic it won't be enough. It consist of all the elements plus Celestial magic," Sting explain to Aria.
Aria click her tongue, is there no other way? If there is what would that be? Will they just all die like that? Aria keeps on asking in her mind what can they do. Aria is losing hope, and Sting can see it to Aria and he don't know what to do as well.
"I can stop it."
Aria and Sting look up, they saw a worn out Nick looking at them. Both Aria and Sting were confused on what Nick said.
"What do you mean by that Nick?" Aria asked him. Nick walk over and passed them and stood in front of the machine.
"I can stop it using all of my magic. I'm going to surpress the machine. That's the only way to stop this and destroy it," Nick said as he look at Aria and Sting with serious eyes.
Both Aria and Sting were surprised on Nick's plan. Aria slowly shake her head and said, "No…No! I won't let you, Nick!" she exclaim as she went to Nick and slam her fist on his chest, tears are forming up to her eyes. Nick just stare at her.
Sting stare at Nick then took one step forward, "Aria is right Nick. There's might be another way, you don't need to sacrifice yourself," Sting was also against it. He don't want anyone to die, especially his friend.
Nick looks up at Sting then to Aria who's now crying. He slowly place a hand on her head and the other wrap on her waist as he hug her sister. "It's our only way, Aria-chan, or else the whole Fiore will be wipe out," Nick said gently to his sister.
Aria shake her head and continue to protest. "No...Please, don't leave me…Nick…I don't want anyone important to me to die…" she cried, clenching Nick's worn out shirt.
While Aria and Sting keeps on protesting, Yukino, Lucy and Rogue finally regain consciousness. Rogue quickly went to Lucy and asked her if she's alright. Lucy smile at him and nodded.
Yukino slowly stood up and looks around for Nick. She saw him with Aria and Sting who's shouting and protesting on what Nick is going to do. She slowly walk over to them and heard what Nick said, "My elemental magic is the only way to stop this which is why I have to stay and you guys have to get out of here."
Yukino's eyes went wide and run towards Nick, "N-Nick-kun…don't do it," she said and hold to his arms. Nick, Aria and Sting looks at her. Nick stare at Yukino with wide eyes and then it soften.
He slowly let go to Aria and gently push her to Sting who went near and hold Aria. Nick face Yukino and hugs her tightly and in return, Yukino hugged him back.
Nick's decision was really hard especially to him. He don't know if it will actually work but this is the only option left. He don't know if he will survive this but, in order to protect those he love and cares, he will do it.
"Yukino-chan, I'm sorry, but I'm going to do it. For those who are important to me, I'm doing this," Nick said as he looks at Yukino straight to her brown eyes.
Lucy and Rogue already near them and stand next to Aria and Sting. Rogue heard everything and fill in Lucy. Just like Aria and Yukino, she also protest. Nick looks at all of them with determined eyes showing that no one can stop him on his decision.
Yukino look up at Nick and hold on tight to him, "I'm staying here with you," she said with firm eyes.
Nick was surprised on what Yukino said and looks at her eyes. He smile and leans down, kissing her on her lips which made the 5 surprise and feel awkward especially Aria. While he is doing that he hand over something to Yukino.
Nick slowly pull away and looks at Yukino, who's flustered. She was surprised on Nick's sudden action. Even Aria and the others were stunned and lower their guard. Nick smiles at them before gently pushing Yukino to them. The four snaps out and Lucy caught Yukino.
Before the 4 could say anything, Nick held out his hand and chant, "ICE BALL." A huge ball made of ice surround the 5 caging them. Aria quickly bang to the ice and shout Nick's name as she cry. Nick smile at Aria which made her stop for a bit, he then look at Sting.
"Please take care of my sister," Nick said to him and pushed the Ice ball out. The five scream Nick's name as they roll away to him. Nick watch them roll out before he sigh and shake his head so he won't cry.
Nick looks at the machine and took a deep breath, concentrating all of his magic around his body. In the meantime, the Ice ball roll out to the corridor and slam out to the mansion. The rest of the gang were already outside the mansion, with Minerva already return back to her senses.
10 seconds remaining...
Then Nick focus his magic down to his fist. The Ice ball hit the ground next to where Natsu and the others were. The Ice Ball broke from the impact and the five was freed. Aria stood up and was about to run back to the mansion when Sting grab her and hug her, not letting her go. Natsu and the others asked what's going on and Rogue and Lucy told them Nick's sacrifice.
5 seconds remaining...
Nick took a back step, he closed his eyes, taking one last deep breath. Aria continue to struggle on Sting's grasps while Yukino also try to go inside but stopped by Orga. Tears rolling down to their eyes. Even Natsu and the others were surprised on what they heard and look at the mansion. Nick opens his eyes and punch the machine with all he got.
0...
Aria finally let go to Sting's grasp and was about to charge inside when a large blast came from the mansion and destroyed the whole building. Everyone was shock and stunned. Aria trembles and slowly kneel down to the grass as she stare, with tears falling down to her eyes, at the burning mansion.
"NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!"
