Hello everyone! Please enjoy this episode.
(This is a recap from the last episode)
Start Up!
Michael gained super speed as the area around him became slow motion. Takuma threw his whip at Michael who managed to speed his way to the ground, then punching the two Orphnochs in the stomach. Michael then sped his way to kick the Seacucumber by the hip, having the latter fly in slow motion. Michael super jumped, before a red drill came from the flashlight, which aimed for the Seacucumber's chest. Michael did a flying side kick, and entered into the drill, which hit the Seacucumber's chest. Michael landed on the ground, and did the exact same thing to Takuma, as the Seacucumber was falling, with blue flames covering him.
3, 2, 1
Everything resumed in motion, and the Seacucumber Orphnoch got up and turned to ash.
Time Out!
Takuma, however, retreated, as electricity came from his chest, like a malfunction. Michael turned to see Takuma retreating.
Deformation!
The process from Faiz to Axel, starts to reverse, as Michael's Axel form, start to turn back into Faiz's regular form.
Ryusei School
A mysterious figure walks in the underground area of Smart Brain, known as the Ryusei School. The figure walks into the laboratory and which had the giant machine (from Episode 28). The figure opens a little square from the box, which can be considered a window, and in the box, was the Ox Orphnoch, revived from the dead, somehow.
(Cue Potential Catastrophe by VideoHelper)
We don't see the figure's face, but we see him holding up a picture of Mari.
"This is…Sonada Mari," The figure said to the Ox Orphnoch. "She looks a nice girl. But she is dangerous inside. Bring her to me…and make sure she doesn't get hurt."
The Ox Orphnoch growled.

Episode 31: Break of Dawn
Soccer Field
Mari took a deep breath, as she looked at the goal, which was being defended by Michael. Mari then kicked the ball, which quickly entered the goal before Michael had a chance to defend it.
"Goal!" Mari shouted, running through the field.
"You're getting pretty good at this," Michael commented, stretching his arms.
"There was a soccer field and a ball at the Ryusei School. But I wasn't good at it. When this battle is over, I'll have a one-on-one with Saya," Mari said, smiling.
Near the Police Station
Mari was driving through the police station from the laundry van, because she was sending back laundry for customers. She was just passing through the police station. Mari then pulled the brakes when she saw a familiar face.
"Takumi?" Mari wondered, as she got out of the van and ran to the young man. "Hey!"
The young man, revealed to be Inui Takumi, turned to Mari.
"You again? What do you want?" Takumi asked.
"I should be asking the questions. Why are you at the police station?" Mari asked.
"The police called me, and they said they found my bag," Takumi explained.
Inside
"Can you describe what's in the bag," The policeman behind the desk asked.
"Red and yellow pants…" Takumi responded. Takumi's response made Mari laugh a bit, but she stopped when Takumi looked at her with annoyance. "…a shirt and a towel."
"Okay, please sign your name and address on this," The policeman said, giving Takumi a form. Takumi then wrote his name in kanji.
Outside
"Hey, hey, hey!" Mari called out, following Takumi out of the police station. "You wear some pretty bright pants."
Mari giggled, due that being the stupidest thing that could be more important than Delta.
"Just get lost already! You're annoying!" Takumi snapped, walking away.
"No way! The Orphnochs are still attacking people. They're after the belts for some reason," Mari said, catching up to Takumi. "You have a responsibility to save people because you can transform into Delta."
"Responsibility?" Takumi asked, stopping before turning to Mari. "I hate that the most. Don't say things that bind me."
"Then here. This is the Faiz gear. Since you were supposed to be the original user, according to Michael, you're going to join the battle," Mari said, throwing the bag, which contained the Faiz gear, and looked identical to Takumi's bag, to Takumi, who responded by putting down his bag.
"Don't screw with me," Takumi said, throwing Mari's bag.
"I'm not," Mari argued, throwing the bag back to Takumi. The process repeats it, with the two arguing.
"It's yours," Takumi said.
"Nekojita!" Mari snapped.
"Don't be stupid!" Takumi argued. The process of throwing the bag back to each other ended, when Takumi couldn't catch Mari's bag. Mari smiled proudly, thinking that she won. Takumi then took Mari's bag and threw it over the fence.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Mari questioned, shocked, before running after her bag. Takumi then got on his bike, but stopped. As Mari ran back after she got her back, she saw Takumi leaning on the laundry van, so she walked towards him.
"I'm low on money…plus I have to pay back someone. I wouldn't mind working there for a while," Takumi said.
"Now that's more like it!" Mari exclaimed.
"Don't get any ideas," Takumi said walking to his bike, while Mari entered the driver's seat of the laundry van and both of them drove to the cleaners.
"I'm going to call Saya about this," Mari said to herself.
Kiba's Apartment
Yuka was making lunch for her housemates, Kiba and Kaido.
"Hey, Yuka," Kaido said, which made Yuka jump a bit.
"Kaido-san! Please don't scare me like that," Yuka said, startled.
"Sorry. Can I ask you something…about any worries?" Kaido asked.
"Worries?" Yuka asked.
"You know, with your sister, and if you're afraid of losing her…you can tell me," Kaido said to Yuka.
"You're sweet, Kaido-san…but I'm fine," Yuka reassured Kaido with a smile.
"I see," Kaido said, walking away from the conversation. Just then, a paper airplane flew into the window of their apartment, and landed on the bed. "What is this?"
Kaido picked up the paper letter and opened it, which contained a message.
"Hey, Kiba, Yuka, look at this!" Kaido called to them. Yuka paused her cooking, by turning off the stove, and Kiba stopped watching TV, as the two walked towards Kaido. "It's a message. It's says, the time has come to know the true power of Orphnochs. From, Toda Eiichi of Smart Brain."
"True power? What's that supposed to mean?" Yuka asked.
"Not sure. But it could be a trick," Kiba assumed. "Smart Brain could be a step ahead of us. But if it really is the truth…we should go. But we must be prepared."
"Understood," Yuka nodded.
"Y-yeah," Kaido nodded.
Smart Brain President Room
"Murakami-kun…are you sure you want your rival to teach those three the true power of the Orphnoch?" Saeko asked. "Those three have gotten on our nerves. And not only did that Kaido didn't get the belts…he back out on the consideration of the vacancy."
"Those three need to know the truth…on our goal," Murakami said to Saeko.
"I wouldn't mind killing all three of theme," Saeko responded.
"Now, Saeko-san…if I don't get my own prey…how will the game be any fun?" Kitazaki asked, who was also in the room, along with Takuma. "If anything…I want to be to one who kills Kiba Yuji."
"Agreed," Murakami said, granting him to the job.
"In fact…let's all play a game. A contest, to be more precise. Since I'm here…we can see who kills Kiba Yuji or one of his two allies," Kitazaki requested, which made Saeko giggled with joy.
"Intriguing. I have to settle something with Osada Yuka," Saeko said. "And…what would we win?"
"How about the winner gets to punish the others?" Kitazaki requested, which made Takuma nervous.
"Pu..punish?" Takuma questioned, scared for his life. He can imagine him being turned to ash by Kitazaki with just one touch.
Kikuchi Cleaners
Takumi was pressing on a white jacket with the cleaning iron, while Saya, who just returned after she got Mari's message, was folding clothes. Saya, looked at Takumi, who then looked back at her.
"What are you looking at?" Takumi asked.
"Nothing…" Saya responded, getting back to her work. "I just thought about you transforming into Delta, and defeating that Orphnoch. Are you really okay? Do you feel…obsessed with the power?"
"Not really…not really interested in it," Takumi responded.
"What about the Delta mark?" Saya asked, show off her's on her right wrist.
"This?" Takumi asked showing off his. "I just assumed that someone drew it on me. I tried to wash it off…but it was no good."
Saya stared at Takumi once more, because she couldn't believe he's surpassing Delta's influence.
"What do you want? Stop staring at me!" Takumi said, annoyed.
"I'm sorry," Saya apologized, going back to her work. "Inui-san…you're acting the same before and after you became Delta. You even threw the belt away. Aren't you addicted to it? It should feel amazing to have that much power…"
"Just shut up and be quiet!" Takumi snapped, having enough of Saya's talk about Delta. "I already told your friend this, and I'll tell you…I hate responsibility."
"I'm sorry," Saya apologized, going back to work, as did Takumi. "I don't have very good manners."
Smart Brain Interview Room
Kiba and Yuka sat down on the two chairs, while Kaido was standing up.
"I'm glad you can make it," A man said, wearing all black, with black hair. "I'm Toda Eiichi, I'll be teaching the power of the Orphnoch. I don't understand why Murakami didn't do this earlier. His really obsessed with his Orphnoch power. Anyways…Kiba Yuji…Osada Yuka…are both of you…Original?"
"Original?" Kiba asked.
"An Orginal, after experiencing death, is reborn as an Orphnoch…without the help of anyone else," Toda explained. "By anyone else…I mean that and Orphnoch didn't killed you."
"Then what about me?" Kaido asked. "An Orphnoch killed me and I revived. What does that make me?"
"You, Kaido Naoya, are Sired. You were reborn as Orphnoch when an Orphnoch used the Apostle Rebirth technique," Toda explained.
"But I don't understand. How come some come back and some don't? What's actually happening between us and the humans?" Yuka asked.
"Very well. This is…a battle…between humans and Orphnochs," Toda explained. "A battle that has been going on for five years. But as of now, our side is weaker…because humans have more numbers. As you can tell…we can increase our allies."
Then, an employee of Smart Brain then entered the room.
"Umm, excuse me! I'm the part-time worker, and I was sent over here…" The employee greeted.
"I've been waiting for you," Toda said.
"Umm, what should I do?" The employee asked, stepping forward. Toda then got up, and the lights turned off by itself. Toda's face faded gray, and he transformed into the Squid Orphnoch, who looked like a preist, before summoning an umbrella-like staff, and firing ink-like tar at the employee, killing him. Toda then reverted to his human form, sitting back down, with the 3 renegade Orphnochs shocked.
"What are you three surprised about?" Toda asked. "You people have done the same thing."
The employee then opened his eyes, which glowed white, and stood up. The employee took a few steps, before collapsing into ash, making him dead prematurely.
"In the lottery, this guy is a failure," Toda said.
"A failure?" Kiba asked.
"We have the ability to turn humans into Orphnoch. However, not all humans are adaptable to Orphnoch energy. Most people revive for a short time…and then die. In short, they are unworthy," Toda explained.
"Increasing allies? Wait, do you mean like this?" Kaido asked, and Toda nodded yes.
Smart Brain Main Floor
Kiba, Yuka, and Kaido were now on the first floor to head out of Smart Brain Headquarters.
"That went better than expected," Kaido said, lighting the mood.
"But I don't get it. Why attack people we don't know or hate," Kiba said. "Sure, I attacked my cousin, Kazaki, and my ex-girlfriend, Chie…but why do it to people we don't know."
"Don't forget…I killed someone. Originally, it was to test my power. But, now that I think of it…I think I saved a life from his murdering other people," Kaido said. "But I haven't kill anyone since then."
"Really? Why?" Yuka asked.
"I just didn't feel like it," Kaido simply put it.
"Kill them," A voice said in Yuka's head, which sounded like her's. "Kill them…kill the humans."
The voice made Yuka stop and to look around her surroundings. Kiba and Kaido noticed this and stopped as well.
"Is there something wrong, Osada-san?" Kiba asked.
"Kill them…kill the humans! Fulfill your purpose!" The voice echoed in Yuka's head, which had Yuka to covered her ears.
"What's wrong?" Kiba asked, before getting the same feeling that Yuka was getting.
"What are you standing there for?! Kill the humans!" The voice, which sounded like Kiba's.
"What's going on?!" Kaido cried. "Let's go! We can be drawing attention!"
Kaido then grabbed of Kiba's and Yuka's wrists and ran out of the Smart Brain building.
Kikuchi Cleaners
Michael entered inside the cleaners after he did another delivery with a set of laundry. Michael turned to see Takumi not around.
"Where's Takumi?" Michael asked the group, which contained Mari, Keitaro, and Saya.
"He just disappeared when Mari-chan and I came back," Keitaro explained.
"And some of the money we had is gone," Mari added. "I bet he stole it."
"Actually…Inui-san asked me to use some of our money to pay for someone…and I said yes," Saya admitted, embarrassed.
"Why would you do that?" Mari asked.
"He seems nice," Saya replied.
"Geez," Mari groaned.
"He's using it to pay for something about his old job," Michael explained to the group.
"Where does he work?" Saya asked.
Coffee Shop
Takumi entered at the coffee shop where he used to work at a year ago. A elder man popped up behind the counter and was surprised to see who is was.
"You're…Takumi…" The elder man said in surprise, which had Takumi turned to see his old boss, Mr. Ishibashi. "When did you get back to Tokyo?"
Takumi then put an envelope, which contained the money he took from the cleaners, and turned to leave.
"Wait," Ishibashi said, making Takumi stop and turning to him. "What is this?"
"I came back to pay the money I stole," Takumi said.
"Stop it. You didn't steal the money," Ishibashi reminded Takumi. "When the money was gone from the store, all the part-timers said it was your fault. I believed in you. That's why it was mysterious that you would just stay quiet and take the blame."
"I stole it. It's fine like that," Takumi said, simply put the situation, before turning to leave.
"Hey!" Ishibashi called out, having Takumi to stop again.
"Come drink coffee tomorrow. I'll let you drink my last coffee," Ishibashi offered Takumi.
"Last?" Takumi asked.
"Yeah. I've been thinking about closing the store," Ishibashi said, explaining his reason to Takumi "It's this age. There's nothing to be done about it."
Takumi then left the shop for real, without saying anything.
"I'll be waiting!" Ishibashi said.
Outside
Takumi left the store and saw Saya, in the driver's seat of the laundry van.
"You!" Takumi said.
Later
Saya was driving Takumi back to the cleaners.
"I've never been alone with a boy, one on one before. Have you ever been in this position before?" Saya asked.
"It was with Mari. She nor I weren't like you," Takumi rudely responded.
"I haven't taken care of someone like you since...my classmate Kusaka Masato," Saya said.
"I can take care of myself, you know," Takumi reminded Saya. "And whoever this Kusaka Masato is...he's probably spoiled at this point."
"I don't think..." Saya responded, before pulling over after she got a headache.
"What's wrong?" Takumi asked, while Saya was having her headache. Saya then stopped having her headache and turned to Takumi.
"This is what happens to a Delta user. From what happened to my classmates who've used this power...they've become corrupted for the power. I've been trying to resist it with medicine I made in order to fight Delta's influence," Saya explained. "That's why I tried to find you."
Kiba's Apartment
"What voice?" Kaido asked.
"You didn't hear it? The voice that told us to kill the humans," Kiba asked Kaido, confused on why Kaido didn't hear it.
"No. The only voice I heard was my own. It's call thinking," Kaido said to Kiba.
"This is serious. Our power…could possibly be forcing us to kill humans," Kiba theorized.
"So kouhai…fell into the darkness…because of the Orphnoch power?" Kaido asked, which had Kiba and Yuka look at Kaido, in a confused expression. "Kiba…I'm in the position you were in after Morishita lost himself. That's why I kept asking you about your worries."
"Kaido-san…" Yuka softly said, before a golden finch came flying in the window, and landed on Yuka's right pointer finger.
"What the hell?" Kaido said, observant.
"This is weird," Yuka commented. "What is going on?"
"We must speak to Toda-san," Kiba said.
Coffee Shop
Kiba and Yuka were able to meet up Toda. But Kaido couldn't make it, due to him not being interested.
"We can't kill humans anymore," Kiba said to Toda, who was enjoying his coffee. "We were able to do it on our first time…but it was our first day. Also, what's with the voice in mine and Osada-san's head."
"That is the voice of the Orphnoch power…reminding you of what you're here for. It's been too long since you killed humans," Toda explained to the two.
"But, we didn't know why we have to make me allies…and why we attack people we don't even hate," Kiba said to Toda, with Yuka being quiet during the discussion.
"Don't think about such pointless things. You can't learn anything from it. Just give in to the power," Toda said to the two renegades, before standing up.
"Toda-san?" Kiba said in confusion, before Toda transformed into the Squid Orphnoch, killing a customer, by firing his ink-like tar.
"Change! You guys too," Toda said to the two renegades, while he was killing more customers.
"No!" Kiba cried, grabbing Yuka's wrist, and heading out to the front door. "No, I don't want to!"
That's when the two bumped into Takumi.
"Inui-san!" Yuka exclaimed.
"What's with you two?" Takumi asked the two, before turning to see Ishibashi being killed by Toda's ink-like tar from his umbrella. "Master!"
"What a coincidence," Toda said.
"Master!" Takumi cried.
"So you're the one who holds the Delta gear?" Toda asked Takumi, who then ran away, and Kiba and Yuka ran after him.
"Where are you going?!" Yuka asked.
"I need that Delta gear!" Takumi responded.
"I'll call Mari-san!" Yuka said, taking out her Kaixa phone to call Mari. By the next moment, the Squid Orphnoch appeared in front of them.
"So you're Kaixa as well. Looks like that's two belts I'll be taking," Toda said, hitting the three with his cape, then appearing behind them, revealing his power of teleportation. The three then got up and ran.
"Hurry up and call her!" Kiba cried.
"I'm doing right it now!" Yuka responded.
Kikuchi Cleaners
Mari's phone rang, as she picked up, while the Orphnoch Seacher went alert when it detected an Orphnoch.
"Hello?" Mari asked.
"Mari-san! Call Michael and bring the Kaixa and Delta belts!" Yuka exclaimed on the phone.
"It's an Orphnoch. The Orphnoch searcher already detected it. I'll be right there," Mari said, hanging up, before getting up, but being stopped by Saya. "Saya?"
"Kikuchi-san…could you bring the Kaixa and Delta belts to Yuka-san and Inui-san?" Saya asked Keitaro. "I must have ask Mari something."
"Kimura-san…" Keitaro softly said.
"Go!" Saya cried, and Keitaro did what he was told, grabbing the Kaixa case and the Delta case, which Saya kept after she left the cleaners for a bit. "Mari…the results are something that Keitaro-san can never know."
"What do you mean?" Mari asked.
Hospital
Michiko was still in her coma. She still had tubes and needles injected in her body. When a nurse walked in to check on her, the heart monitor started to beat rapidly. The nurse knew what was happening and she ran to get the doctor. Michiko was going into cardiac arrest.
Park
Kiba, Yuka, and Takumi, hid behind a tree to hid from Toda. Takumi sighed in relief when he didn't find Toda to be near.
"That guy…he killed Master!" Takumi said.
"You knew him?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah…" Takumi responded. "But you know…I was scared…about being able to get along with him. That's why I quit the store."
"What are you talking about?" Yuka asked.
"I'm scared of getting too close to people. I'm not scared of being betrayed by others. I'm scared of betraying them," Takumi explained.
"It's just like me. But, why do you think that way?" Yuka asked, but Takumi couldn't find the right response, so Yuka touched his hand so he can feel his memories. But, before she can get a memorize from him, a tree fell down, due to it being cut by Toda from behind. The three then got up and ran to the park sidewalk. That's when Michael, on Auto Vajin, and Keitaro, in the laundry van, arrived with the belts.
"Yuka-san! Takkun!" Keitaro cried.
"You're late!" Yuka and Takumi exclaimed in unison, as Keitaro threw their respective belts. Takumi looks at the Delta belts, and isn't sure if he wants to do it. Takumi then remember what Saya said to him, yesterday.
"From what happened to my classmates who've used this power...they've become corrupted for the power. That's why I tried to find you."
"I don't know what's going on. But, people are dying," Takumi said to himself, putting on the Delta belt on his waist. "If fighting is a sin… Then let me be damned!"
Yuka smiled and nodded at Takumi, as Michael, who had to Faiz belt on his waist, ran to Kiba.
"Kiba, sit this one out. We got this," Michael said to Kiba, who nodded and got out of the way, due to him not wanting to expose his identity to Keitaro.

Faiz: Standing By!

Kaixa: Standing By!
Henshin!
Delta: Standing By!
Complete!
(Insert The people with no name by m.c.A・T; Version with first verse, chorus, and outro)
Michale, Yuka, and Takumi, transformed into Faiz, Kaixa, and Delta, respectively, and started to fight Toda.
Michael grabbed Toda's punch, and the fight was taken to outside of a greenhouse. Michael then punched Toda, while Takumi grabbed Toda from behind, and they ran into the glass, into the greenhouse. Michael and Yuka ran into the fight to assist Takumi into fighting Toda, who kept flailing his cape as a shield. However, Toda was overwhelmed by the three riders. Toda tried to take the Kaixa gear off Yuka's waist, but Yuka kicked Toda in the stomach, and threw him into a cactus. Yuka then took her blaygun, then her mission memory out of the phone, and inserted it into the blaygun.
Ready!
The blaygun generated a yellow blade, going into blade mode. Yuka used that to slash at Toda's chest. While, Michael kept throwing punches at Toda. Takumi then came jumping and punching Toda, before doing a wrist flick and punching Toda out of the greenhouse. Takumi walked out of the greenhouse, and saw that Toda disappeared, until he got hit with Toda's cape, and then kicked in the face by Toda. Toda was about to kick Takumi, but Michael caught Toda's leg, threw him up, and kicked him again, with Yuka slashing him.
"Takumi…insert your mission memory into your gun and say check," Michael told Takumi. "How I know this…you know the answer and why I know."
"Right…fortune teller," Takumi said, before taking out the gun-like microphone, with the holster, which became a gun, took out the Delta mission memory, and inserted it into the gun.
Ready!
Michael and Yuka tackled Toda in order for Takumi to get a clear shot.
Check!
Exceed Charge!
A light blue surge came from the Delta belt, through the outlines of Delta, and made contact with Takumi's hands. Takumi then fired a shot at Toda, with Takumi and Yuka noticing, getting out of the way before they could get hit. As Toda got hit, a light blue energy drill and emerged from his chest. Takumi then jumped at did a flying right sidekick and entered Toda through the drill. Takumi came back after kick, as a light blue figure, for a couple of seconds. A blue triangle then appears on Toda's chest. Toda turns to the three riders and reverts back to his human form.
(End Insert Song)
"This is your last lesson. I'm sure you know this, but I'll tell you anyways. I'll teach you about an Orphnoch's death. Complete annihilation! That…is our…death!" Toda said, giving Kiba and Yuka their final lesson, before the former reverted back as the Squid Orphnoch, with pinkish red flames then emerging from his body, before preceding to turn to ash.
"What? The flames are red," Yuka observed.
"The Orphnoch who get hit with Delta's attack…are destroyed with a red blaze…" Michael explained. Yuka then looks on the ground, and sees Toda's remains, before remembering what Toda said.
"We have the ability to turn humans into Orphnoch."
Yuka's eyes then widen under her helmet, so she took out the Kaixa phone, side-flipped it open, and pressed the end call button, causing the Kaixa suit to disappear into yellow lasers. Yuka then ran to Side Basshar a got on it, putting in her biker helmet.
"Hey, Osada-san!" Michael called out, running to her, as the Faiz suit disappeared in red lasers. "What's going on?"
"I have to go somewhere. Somewhere…where my past actions…still remain intact," Yuka said, before speeding off to her location.
"Past actions? Could she be talking about Michiko?" Michael wondered.
Hospital
Yuka quickly ran to Michiko's room at the hospital, and found out that the doctor was using the defibrillator on Michiko's heart. Yuka then realized, when she look at heart monitor, that Michiko was going into cardiac arrest.
"Michiko!" Yuka cried, before a nurse forced Yuka to go outside of the room.
"Please, wait outside. We'll treat her," The nurse told Yuka, closing the door on her as Yuka was out of the room. Yuka was able to see the process through the peak from the almost-closed door. After using the defibrillator on her body multiple more times, it happened. Michiko had flatlined, meaning she was dead.
"No...Michiko. Michiko!" Yuka screamed, which caught the doctor and nurses' attention.
"I need you to stay out here. Ok?" The doctor said to Yuka, who had tears flowing from her eyes to her face.
Ryusei School
(Cue Potential Catastrophe by VideoHelper)
The figure from earlier walked into the laboratory, walked to the metal box, and opened the small window, where he could see the revived Ox Orphnoch, who growls.
"It's time," The figure said to the Ox, who growled even more. "But, before you start your mission…let me give Faiz…a little prelude."

Kikuchi Cleaners
Michael walked down stairs, stretching his arms due to a good night's rest.
"Well, good morning," Mari greeted, who was sitting on a chair.
"Ah. Good morning," Michael greeted back, drowsy. "Where are Keitaro, Takumi, and Saya?"
"I sent them out to help some customers. That gives me the time to talk to you," Mari said, before taking a deep breath and getting out of the chair. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?" Michael asked.
"Don't screw around and act like you don't know. Why didn't you tell me Yuka was an Orphnoch? And don't lie. Like you've said…you're predictions are never wrong," Mari snapped.
"Osada-san is your friend…and I didn't want it to damage your friendship," Michael responded.
"Damage it? Listen, I don't believe she can attack other humans. If she were a true Orphnoch, she would've killed us by now. But, I want to believe that Yuka is scared of hurting people close to her. Just like how Sawada couldn't fight off his inner Orphnoch…that attacked me," Mari said.
"Enough!" Michael shouted, slamming his fist on the coffee table. "Don't you understand what could've happened I told you?! You could've cast her out and fear her! I was protecting you…and her! I can't tell you the truth due to negative impacts, idiot!"
"Who are you calling idiot, idiot?!" Mari asked, and the two kept calling each other idiot, until Mari had enough, so she stepped outside of the cleaners. Michael then facepalmed in disappointment in himself.
"I thought you said you were going to be more open?" Michael asked himself, and sighs. Michael then walked out of the cleaners, while the sun was rising, to go and apologize to Mari. "Mari, I'm sorry."
Michael then saw that Mari was nowhere in sight.
"Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, very funny," Michael said, sarcastically. "Mari, don't screw around. You told me yourself, not to screw around."
"Michael!" A voice from a distance cried, and Michael turned to see Mari being abducted by and Orphnoch.
(Cue Warlock Brews by VideoHelper; the last 18 seconds)
"Mari!" Michael cried.
"Help me!" Mari cried, before the Orphnoch, got away with Mari.
"Mari!" Michael cried, as the Orphnoch was escaping. Michael put on the Faiz belt and flipped open the Faiz phone.

Hospital
Yuka fell asleep by Michiko's room. Yuka woke up and rubbed her eyes. Yuka turned to see her step-sister's bed, without a body. The blankets were folded and the sheets had no wrinkles. Yuka walks over to the empty bed, puts her head on it and cries.
"Why are you crying?" A familiar female voice asked. Yuka knew that voice. She hadn't heard that voice in six months. Yuka turned to see Michiko Osada, her step-sister, looking at her.
To Be Continued
This is the part of the show I've been dying to write. At the end of the episode, this is where things get kicked to top gear. Expect a lot from these last 19 episodes. Side note: Forgive me if this episode's structure is bad. I really tried to make it good. I also want to give a shoutout to two people. To Toomanyfandoms15 for favoriting and following my story, and to ElizasNerdCave for following my story. Thank you so much to both of you, I hope you will enjoy the rest of the story. Another side note: I rewrote some scenes in order to be descriptive on the Orphnochs, in terms of what they look like. I also changed the interactions of Yuka and Keitaro, via email to their usernames. There more of minor changes, but I will try my best to be consitant with these changes.
Thank you for reading, everyone. If you want, you can leave a review to share your thoughts. I will see all of you guys, girls, and all in between, next time. Bye.
