The shaking stopped and silence took over for a short moment before-

With a demonic sword, August charged forward.

With a giant lance as an arm and a blade in the other hand, Black charged forward.

They both swung their weapons at the same time as their powers clashed.

The clash was so great that a crater formed beneath their feet and the whole mountain shook.

They both jumped back before swiftly charging again.

Black swung her giant lance which August's blocked. Black pushed her lance against August's sword with incredible strength while August was doing the same with the same amount of strength.

With his sword sliding across Black's lance, August ran past the lance and zoomed past Black slicing her stomach.

Black instantly retaliated by swinging her sword but August manage to jump back to evade.

The atmosphere was still buried in a dark purple mist thanks to August.

However, after their small exchange of attacks, August noticed something as he thought, "Her speed, reflexes and strength. It's not decreasing, my semblance doesn't seem to be affecting her. Strange, my semblance is suppose to affect all living beings."

Black's lance detached itself from her body and she threw it at August with nothing but a long chain connecting her body and the lance together.

The armoured man swung his demonic sword deflecting the heavy lance with a loud CLANG!

But August felt the full force of the knockback and was left wide open. August also noticed something else with her attack, "Killer intent?"

Black used this opportunity and sprinted full force at him swinging her sword.

With insane reflexes, August used his free hand and grabbed Black's blade before it could hit him with nothing but his armoured hand and pure strength.

Using the chain connected to her lance, Black's giant lance reattached itself to her body and she swung it horizontally on August.

"It's useless," August thought as he saw that there was no way to block the lance in this position, "my armour has endured many attacks from fearless warriors. A mere lance isn't going to-"

Black brought her lance down on August's shoulder and almost instantly his armour began to show cracks where the lance hit him.

"Im...Impossible!" August regained balanced with his sword and swung landing a cut across her stomach causing Black to jump back.

Not giving August time to process his thoughts, Black sprinted forward aiming her lance. While running at the exact same time, she fired a barrage of bullets in August's way as she ran. It certainly wasn't enough to kill him but was enough to make him stay put.

As she got close she swung her lance at his head with no hesitation.

August deflected with his sword before swinging his sword at Black.

Black blocked with her sword and jabbed her lance forward.

August dodged and attacked again which Black blocked.

Black fired five more shots from her lance which August's armour blocked.

August swung his sword firing a small wave of purple energy which Black evaded by doing a backflip with insane reflexes.

The two were then thrown into a rapid series of attacks and blocking. Their hands were swinging a blocking attacks so fast that their arms were just a blur and even a small whirlwind gathered around the pair thanks to the fast momentum.

Black broke this endless wave of attack and blocking by unexpectedly kicking August in the head with her leg. She then swung her lance hitting him right in the chest sending him flying across the field, like a rock being thrown across water.

August used his sword and stabbed it to the ground so that he wouldn't fall off the mountain. He looked up and saw Black right above him, her purple flamming eye glaring at him.

It seems it was good thing for Black that August didn't fall off the mountain for she was far from done with him.

Black swung her lance right at August's neck tearing off another piece of armour.

She jabbed her sword forward stabbing August in the chest tear another piece of armour but not enough to reach skin, fired 10 bullets from her lance which was still on August's neck, she swiftly swung her sword at least four more times each landing a critical hit on August's chest, shoulders and arms; she lifted her lance, fired 5 five bullets, swung her lance downwards on August's head forcing his head to face downwards before finally kicking August right in the face tearing off pieces of his helmet with just her leg.

August fell to the ground... but instantly responded by getting back up and swinging his sword knocking Black's sword out of her hand.

Black clenched the fist that was holding her blade just a moment ago and delivered a devastating punch to August's stomach sending the armoured man flying to the other side of the mountain. Her fist began to bleed from the punch but he fist along was enough to land a powerful, devastating blow on August.

The criminal's body stopped right at the edge of the mountain top, his body laying on the ground not moving an inch.

Silence filled the atmosphere and the mountain was calm.

The purple mist that invaded the air disappeared and the peaceful wind began to blow again.

The flamming-eyed girl calmly picked up her sword and unsummoned her lance however as usual, she refuses to relax.

Since the purple mist was gone, sunlight began to shine and Mato's body began to heal.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that the mist was responsible for Mato slowly losing energy. If Black had been any later, the mist would've successfully drained Mato's power which would have eventually lead to her death. Black guessed that since the mist disappeared right after August was defeated, it was August was the one who created the mist.

Black walked across the mountain towards Mato who was still unconscious.

Black bent down and placed her hand on Mato's cheek.

Judging from the tears, whatever dream Mato was having was making her cry.

Black stood up and looked around, wondering where Miku was. She quickly shrugged off the feeling.

Her purple flame was still ignited, she looked at Mato.

She was healing but from she still endured a massive amount of damage so it might take longer than expected.

Mato began murmuring in her sleep.

Black instantly knew what emotion Mato was feeling: Fear.

She didn't know why, but lately Mato have been receiving a large amount of nightmares these past couple of weeks. Each time she fell asleep, she would wake up in the middle of the night panting while crying.

It occurred every time Mato went to sleep. At first Black didn't see a problem with it as she was always there for Mato when she woke up. However what bothered Black the most was Mato kept having the exact same nightmare each night and the nightmare that Mato kept having each night...was always about-

Black turned around, summoned her insane cannon with reflexes no normal human being could ever hope to reach and with no hesitation, released a barrage of purple bullets.

She didn't stop firing. The bullets rained down creating small explosions and a lot of smoke.

She kept firing. At least 50 bullets per second.

It went from peaceful to chaos and every minute that went by, bullets would rain down and create explosions.

After a good 5 minutes...Black stopped firing allowing the black smoke created by her bullets to be released into the air.

The smoke blocked her from seeing so she waited.

She then heard a voice that she didn't want to hear coming from the smoke.

"Despite showing no mercy to my enemies, I always held back just in case I do more damage than I need to..."

Footsteps of heavy armour was heard and August emerged from the smoke, cracks in multiple places in his armour...but none of his skin had been pierced yet meaning there wasn't a single drop of blood on August.

The armoured criminal raised her sword and a huge amount of dark energy began to gather in August's sword as he pointed it upwards, "But it seems that doesn't apply to you."

Unfazed by August's words, Black aimed her giant lance and fired.

The wind that blew by every so often stopped whistling...and then they striked.

Dr Frost's eyes widened as Chariot managed to travel from one side of the field to the other in less than a seconds using her wheels and was now right in front of him.

The doctor reacted by swiftly summoning an ice shield. Chariot jabbed her sword forward impaling the ice and the tip of her sword stopped right in front of the man's head.

Chariot's sharp wheels roared. She kicked the ice shield slicing the ice shield in half.

Dead Master ran past Chariot and swung her scythe at Debra, her two giant skulls right behind her.

Debra did a backflip evading Dead's attack. Dead Master continued to release a series of attack, she sent chains, she ordered her giant skulls and swung her scythe all at the same time but her frustration, Debra was more flexible and gymnastic than she thought for Debra managed to dodge every attack that Dead sent.

As Debra evaded the attacks, her creepy smile was still pasted on her face, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS FUN! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Back to Dr Frost and Chariot.

The Doctor clicked his fingers and 10 floating swords made out of ice appeared and threw themselves at Chariot.

With an emotionless face, Chariot swung her sword three times, kicked two ice swords with her sharp wheels and blocked the last five swords with her sheild. She charged at Frost.

The doctor placed his palm on the ground and giant ice spikes emerged from the ground towards Chariot.

Despite having wheels as legs, Chariot unexpectedly jumped an incredible height before the spikes could appear beneath her and stab her.

The ice criminal suddenly noticed that the ground was shaking. He looked and saw Mary the giant spider like creature charging right at him demolishing every ice spike that stood in it's way.

Still in the air, Chariot did a backflip over Mary and landed right in the driver's seat. She grabbed the steering mechanic and charged forward.

Meanwhile, Dead Master jumped back to avoid getting kicked in the face by Debra.

The horned-woman raised her arm and pointed her index finger at Debra. Right on cue, Dead's armoured skeleton army charged at Debra, each skeleton holding either an axe, sword, shield, helmets, club or anything that looked sharp and deadly.

"Oh, are these you're pets?!" Debra exclaimed as the skeletons ran towards her with the intent to kill, "Ha...ha...ha...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

From under her sleeves, Debra pulled out two laser daggers. She swung her dagger cutting a skeleton in half with extremely fast hand movements.

7 skeletons jumped at Debra at the same time. Debra did a backflip over the skeleton's axe and kicked in the head cracking it's skull.

She sliced two skeletons in half with both her daggers as fast as a cheetah and chopped four skeletons by spinning rapidly with her daggers.

She rapidly stepped left to right, left to right, left to right demolishing any skeletons that got in her way.

Dead Master sent 15 chains straight in Debra's direction.

"OH! THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE!" The lunatic chorused as she saw the chains coming her way, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

As the chains threatened to either hang or suffocate Debra. Debra smiled creepily as she got into a position with her daggers.

Just at the moment, the chains were about to wrap around the lunatic, Debra swung her daggers swiftly. So fast to a point where her arms were just a blur. Within a second, every chain that Dead has just summoned was now nothing but remnants of metals.

More of Dead Master's skeleton minions surrounded Debra.

Debra pulled back her arm and threw her dagger at a skeleton's skull. She then turned around, sliced four skeletons with her second dagger, turned and ran towards the skeleton she threw her weapon at, pulled her dagger out of the skeleton's skull and elbowed the skeleton breaking it into pieces.

With both daggers, Debra went on a complete rampage demolishing all of Dead's skeletons while laughing like a mad man.

Dr Frost placed his palm upwards beneath his mouth and blew wind from his mouth towards the ground.

The floor of the forest suddenly turned to ice. Mary, who was still charging at Frost, slipped across the ice and collided into a tree not far from Frost.

After the collision into the trees, Chariot looked and saw a tree branch had impaled her shoulder. Not showing any signs of pain, Chariot cut the tree branch from it's tree and forcefully pulled it out of her shoulder along with a bit of yellow blood.

She then stirred the controls of Mary and the giant spider like creature forced itself to stand back up.

Chariot looked at the ground and noted that as long as the ground was made out of ice, Mary couldn't charge.

While Mary was immobilised, Dr Frost pointed at the Mary and fired an endless amount of ice arrows in her directions.

Mary was forced to stay standing on ground made out of ice while withstanding a barrage of icy arrows.

An ice arrow flew right past Chariot's cheek leaving a small cut on her cheeks.

Another arrow hit Chariot's claw that she had instead of a hand and another arrow hit her shoulder. The same shoulder that the tree branch impaled recently.

She placed her shield in front of her blocking the rest of the arrows.

Chariot knew Mary couldn't charge while the floor was made out of ice...but Mary didn't need to.

She pulled a trigger and Mary opened it's mouth.

Dr Frost's eyes widened as he reconsigned Kagari doing the same thing before.

A barrage of giant macaroons shoot out from Mary's mouth and fired towards Frost dismantling every ice sword in it's way.

Dr Frost regained his composure and calmly swung his arm and an icy blizzard engulfed the entire battlefield.

A prison of ice froze over Mary. Chariot felt her mechanical wheels and claws freeze as the icy blizzard blurred her vision.

Dead Master was suffering the same problem. Every skeleton had frozen into place and her giant skulls could no longer move. She flung her arm in front of her eyes to prevent ice from getting into her eyes.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Debra sprinted across the field. Thanks to Dr Frost, the icy blizzard didn't affect her.

She jumped and wrapped her legs around Dead's stomach. Before Dead Master could react, Debra stabbed both daggers into both sides of Dead's head.

Debra's eyes were wider than ever as her red eyes began to glow again. Dead Master gritted her teeth as the pain coursed through her head. She could feel Debra invading her mind...just like what she did with Yomi.

At the same time. Using the icy wind to carry himself, Dr Frost flew above Mary and landed right in front of Chariot who was sitting behind her shield with her eyes closed. Chariot's claws and wheels were completely frozen at this point.

Frost raised his hand and suddenly 15-30 floating icicles appeared and they were aimed at Chariot.

Despite the icy wind blowing particles of ice everywhere...Chariot's eyes flew open.

She pulled a trigger on her shield and spikes protruded from it stabbing Frost in the shoulders, chest and legs.

Dr Frost swore loudly before jumping back.

Chariot's wheels roared louder than ever and the ice that coated them tore into pieces as her sharp wheels began rolling rapidly. With sword and shield, Chariot jumped an incredible height until she was head-level with Frost in the air.

There was nothing Frost could do but watch as Chariot pulled back her sharp wheel and kicked Frost leaving a massive wound across his chest.

Dr Frost was sent crashing to the ground with a loud boom and the icy blizzard ceased.

Dead Master's eyes flew open.

Chains wrapped around Debra's neck, chest, arms and legs.

Before the psychopath could react, Dead Master raised Debra to the air and smashed her to the ground right next to Dr Frost's body.

The impact was so great that a crater formed beneath Debra's motionless body.

Chariot landed safely next to Dead Master, Mary standing and two giant skulls standing behind them.

The two criminals were dead silent and their bodies didn't move.

Just when they thought it was over, Debra's head twitched in an extremely weird way and her usually psychotic smile appeared on her face again, "ha...ha...haha,AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The lunatic stood back up picking up her two daggers while Dr Frost sat up and places his hand on the massive wound across his chest that Chariot gave him.

Debra looked at Frost and noticed that Frost was...smiling.

He was smiling and Frost had his reasons on why. It's been forever since Frost had received an injury like this.

"Aww," Debra said in a teasing manner, "Are you having fun Frosty?"

For the first time in Dr Frost's life, he agreed with Debra, "Yeah...fun...this is fun."

An icy whirlwind gathered around Dr Frost, he placed his hand on his massive wound and the wound was coated in pure ice.

A few seconds later, his wound had completely healed along with every other injury that Chariot gave him ealier. Frost's body looked good as new but this time, a smile of adrenaline was on his face.

"Finally...something entertaining comes to us." Frost clicked his fingers and an entire army of ice soldiers appeared right behind him with two ice giants, "Let's not put them to waste shall we."

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Took the words right out of my mouth! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

Dead Master raised her hand and an entire army of skeleton soldiers appeared from the ground right behind her with two giant skeletons.

The two armies faced each other.

Debra laughed while Chariot's wheels made a mechanical roar.

The four glared, two had the look of anger while the other two had the look of enjoyment.

A leaf from a tree not far from the battle fell off the tree branch.

The leaf fell...

and fell...

and fell...

and then...the leaf hit the ground and the two forces charged at each other.

The organised ice soldiers with their identical swords and shields charged at the disorganised skeletons who were holding a variety of different deadly weapons.

Side by side, Chariot Dead Master sprinted forwards and Frost Debra did the same.

They both pulled back their massive fist and delivered their strongest punch.

Their fist collided and a wave of wind was sent flying in all direction shaking the cave.

Strength pulled back her 3rd ogre arm and punched the Beringel right in the face sending Wolfheim crashing into the wall.

The Beringel got back up jumped in a gorilla manner onto the wall and travelled around the cave.

Wolfheim flung himself into the air doing a backflip in mid-air before falling down towards Strength with his fist pulled back.

Strength jumped to the side evading the attack so the Beringel's fist smashed the ground instead of her.

She then pulled back her first and third ogre arm and sent it right at Wolfheim.

The Beringel blocked both ogre arms with just one arm however it struggled to remain standing with Strength's power pushing against him.

Strength then pulled back her second and third ogre arm and threw it at Wolfheim.

The Beringel with it's second hand but now was on the verge of being pushed back.

Before Strength could make her next move, Wolfheim kicked Strength in the stomach sending her crashing into the opposite wall.

The Beringel punched it's chest with both arms before charging at Strength who was recovering. The gorilla jumped and delivered a devastating a punch with it's fist.

However, to Wolfheim's surprise, Strength manage to catch his fist with her 3rd ogre arm without even moving her body.

Strength pulled back her 2nd and 4th arm and punched Wolfheim landing a powerful blow on his chest and face.

The Beringel landed on it's arm instead of it's back and regained it's balance before it hit the wall by doing a backflip.

At the same time, they both charged at each other again.

Wolfheim threw his left fist which Strength blocked with her 2nd ogre arm.

The Beringel kicked Strength again in the chest but this time Strength stood her ground and punched Wolfheim with her 3rd ogre arm.

Wolfheim retaliated by sending a series of rapid harsh punches at Strength. The girl reacted by putting all four of her ogre arms in a defensive cross shape as she had to endure every punch the Grimm Gorilla threw at her.

From a distance, Yuu watched in awe. From a distance, both were moving extremely fast and didn't let the other to take one second of rest.

It was obvious that Strength had changed in terms of skill. Back then, the only reason why she switched places with Strength in the otherworld was because Yuu couldn't handle the obstacles of life while Strength was always scared of fighting. But look at her now, fighting a strong opponent with no hesitation.

It almost made Yuu proud of Strength in a way.

However something else soon bothered her now. While Strength had improved, Yuu couldn't deny that Wolfheim and Strength evenly matched.

Wolfheim stopped punching as he figured that Strength's defensive stance was unbreakable.

The Beringel jumped and clinged onto one of the pillars made out of rock that held the cave together. Wolfheim swinged from pillar to pillar in a fast gorilla-like manner.

Strength lifted her ogre arms and large metal fingers turned into machine guns and she opened fired pointing at whatever Wolfheim went to.

However Wolfheim proved to be too fast for Strength's bullets for he kept swinging from pillar to pillar and since Strength's machine guns were so big and heavy, it was hard to move them as fast as Wolfheim was moving.

The cave shook as Strength's bullets flew everywhere destroying debris and boulders but Wolfheim remained untouched.

More swinging and more bullets spraying everywhere. As seconds flew by, Wolfheim saw an opening.

Using the last remaining pillars to gain more momentum, the Beringel swung into the air doing multiple backflips to evade bullets and landed right behind Strength's back.

Wolfheim swiftly grabbed Strength's hood, picked her up and smashed her onto the floor creating a crater on the ground. He picked Strength up by the hood and smashed her onto the floor again. Wolfheim manage to repeat this process at least two more times before Strength grabbed the gorilla's shoulder using her 3rd and 4th ogre arm.

She manage to switch rolls as she picked Wolfheim up and smashed him onto the floor on her left side. She repeated the process this time smashing him on her right side.

After doing it three more times, she grabbed Wolfheim by the leg and threw the giant gorilla across the cave causing him to crash into the wall.

"Im...impressive." Wolfheim complemented as he stood back up, "You are certainly different to your sister, foreigner."

Strength prepared herself while the Bering approached the colourless crystal which was still illuminating the room.

"But let's see how well you fight in the dark." Wolfheim grabbed the colourless crystal and covered it so that it's light would be blocked. Since the crystal was the only thing that brought light to the cave, it was now pitch black.

"The creature of Grimm are creatures of the dark. Therefore I am used to fighting in darkness." Wolfheim declared as he got ready to strike, "Unfortunately for you, this is the end-"

He gasped in shocked as he saw Strength's glowing circular eyes right above him, glaring at him. "Don't tell me you're-"

Strength pulled back all four of her ogre arms and rapidly began punching the Beringel. Punching Wolfheim five times in the chest, eight times in the legs and arms; and three times to the face.

Letting go of the crystal, Wolfheim was sent crashing into the wall and light illuminated the room again.

The dust from Wolfheim crashing into the wall cleared and Strength saw that the Beringel's body was broken and it's limbs and bones were bent in a very awkward positions.

At first Strength thought she had won and was about to relax when suddenly, Wolfheim's Beringel body began twitching and making disgusting bone cracking noises that made Yuu cringe. His bones bent themselves back into places and his body grew smaller and smaller, his skin turning red to normal.

No matter how many times Yuu saw it, seeing Wolfheim transform always made her want to puke.

Within seconds, Wolfheim was back into his original human body...not a single injury or drop of blood was seen on his body or face. In fact, you could take one look at him and you wouldn't believe that he had just fought Strength.

The old criminal didn't look happy nor did he look angry. On the contrary, Yuu was surprised that he looked neutral.

"Most of the opponents that I've faced in the past usually rub it in my face when they begin winning, they act so proud of themselves that they're beating one of the most wanted criminals. It always angers me when people start celebrating in the middle of a fight like they've already won. It's disrespectful to both me and the tradition of battles. Every warrior I've faced always underestimated me just because I'm old. But you...you're different. Even when you're winning, I could tell that you weren't going to let your guard down until you've finished me...I respect that." Wolfheim admitted as his skin began turning black and his body began making bone cracking noise, "It's a shame we had to meet this way. What is you name, child?"

"Strength." She replied.

"Strength..." Wolfheim repeated as he had transformed in a Nuckelavee, "I'll remember that."

Black didn't stop firing.

With her lance aimed directly at August, purple bullets rained down on him.

However, despite every bullet landing a hit, it didn't seem to do any damage.

August stood there, unfazed by the bullets as more and more dark energy gathered around his sword, within his armoured helmet, his eyes were closed and focused.

Black ceased firing as she figured that her bullets weren't going to do anything.

More dark energy gathered in August's sword.

Black's lance detached itself from her body.

More dark energy gathered in August's sword.

The lance floated in the air with nothing but a floating chain attached to it and her body.

More dark energy gathered in August's sword.

With her lance levitating in the air, Black sprinted towards the armoured man.

Inside his helmet, August's eyes flew open. With enough energy in his sword, August swung his sword releasing a devastating wave of dark energy.

Black was hit by the attack at full force. She was engulfed in the wave as a rush of pain took over her feelings. The pain Black felt was like her body was being being torn in two pieces while being burned in a furnace at the same time. The chain that connected Black's lance to her body was disintegrated and purple blood sprayed from her body.

There was a large explosion and Black was in the center of it.

Black fell to the ground and her lance landed somewhere near her head.

Despite the pain, Black forced herself to keep going. Since she didn't have a right arm anymore, she reached for her lance with her left.

August jumped an incredible height until he was right above Black, "I'm surprise your body is still in one piece after that attack. No matter, I will destroy you here and now."

The armoured man fell downward towards Black and stomped Black right in the back placing all his weight on Black. The impact was destructive as a crater was formed right beneath Black. Black coughed out blood from her mouth.

August looked at Black's lance and swung his sword with all his might.

With one hit...Black's insane cannon lance with sliced into two pieces and broken. The broken remnants of Rock's lance fell off the mountain, the sound of metal clanging onto the rocks of the mountain echoed into Black's ears.

August picked Black up by the hair and smashed her onto the floor, "Not so tough without your toy huh?"

He lifted Black again and this time threw her into the air. While Black's limp body was in the air, August swung his sword three times firing three small waves of dark energy.

The dark waves of energy sliced Black leaving deep wounds in her neck, chest and legs. Purple blood sprayed into the air from her body.

Before Black fell and hit the ground, August caught her by the leg smashed her onto the ground.

Pushing her limits, Black stood back up and raised her left arm which was holding her sword. With her insane cannon lance gone, she no longer had a right arm.

August casually walked towards Black who was struggling to remain standing.

August punched Black's cheek and then swung his sword. Black manage to block August's sword but her grip wasn't as hard as she thought as her sword was knocked out of her hand.

The man swung her sword again landing a diagonal cut from Black's shoulder to her hip.

He then punched Black in the stomach, sliced her legs causing Black to trip before finally swing his sword again chopping Black's left arm off.

Black didn't make a sound but pain was clearly visible in her face as her body fell towards the ground.

Her body landed on the floor in a small puddle of her own purple blood.

August slowly walked towards Black, each step echoed into her ears.

"You were a worthy opponent." August admitted as he looked down on Black, "You manage to push me to my full potential which is something no one has ever done before. Delivering the final blow to someone like you... is certainly an honour."

August raised his sword, the tip of the sword pointed at Black and the handle pointing towards the sky. August always held his sword with only one hand but because of the special occasion, he held his sword with two hands.

"You fought well."

With that, August stabbed Black right where her heart would be with his sword.

Black's breath went silent and her flamming eye went out.

Silence fell onto the battlefield but it certainly wasn't a peaceful one.

August looked at Black's dead body for a few seconds before picking up the Alleviating Flower.

"Now..." August raised his sword and glared at Mato who was still unconscious, "To finish what I started."

A single ice soldier swung its sword destroying two skeletons.

Three skeletons holding axes, swords and clubs jumped at the ice soldier.

Two ice soldiers intercepted and destroyed the skeletons.

Another skeleton jumped, swung its axe-sword and manage to destroy a single ice soldier before another ice soldier took it down..

10 ice soldiers sprinted towards a group of 20 skeletons. The two groups clashed and the skeletons only manage to destroy two ice soldiers before being destroyed themselves.

A skeleton swung a spiky club but the ice soldier blocked with it's shield before cutting off the skull of the skeleton.

One of the ice giant raised it's foot an stomped on a group of skeletons smashing as least 15 skeletons.

One of the giant skeletons raised it's giant axe and attacked the ice giant. The ice giant manage to break the giant skeleton's axe with nothing but it's fist. The ice giant pulled back it's fist and punched the giant skeleton causing the giant skeleton to fall down and land on it's own skeleton comrades.

The entire forest went from a peaceful place for plants to grow from a complete war zone in within a second. The boisterous battle field was filled with skeletons and ice soldiers. The sound of hundreds and hundreds of metal clashing against strong ice echoed through the entire forest.

The two flying giant skulls with flamming green eyes, were helping their fellow skeleton allies against the ice soldiers while Mary was busy tackling one of the giant ice skeletons.

In the very middle, the leaders of the armies were in a series of attacks and blocking.

Dead summoned three chains to attack Debra.

Frost swings his arm at the same time causing Dead's chains to freeze into ice, breaking into pieces while icicles were fired at Dead.

Chariot stood in front of Dead and blocked the icicles with her shield.

Debra jumped over Chariot's shield and stabbed her in the shoulder with her dagger.

Chariot jabbed her sword forward but Debra dodged by jumping back.

When Debra jumped, Dead Master boasted herself using Chariot's shoulder and jumped, swinging her scythe at Debra.

However, before Dead could hit, Frost summoned an ice sword and threw it at her forcing Dead to use her scythe to deflect instead of attack.

Two of Dead's skeletons soldiers manage to get by and jumped at Frost from behind.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra sliced both skeletons with her laser daggers which extremely fast movements.

Drost summons three ice spears and all of them threw themselves at Dead Master like bullets.

Dead twirls her scythe and deflects all three of them.

Four of Frost's ice soldiers destroyed three more skeletons before charging at Dead Master from the side, Debra followed.

Chariot zoomed to her side and swung her sword slicing a single ice soldier before she had to block Debra's dagger.

The three remaining ice soldiers surrounded Chariot as Debra jumped at her.

Dead Master ran past and summoned 10-15 chains to attack Frost while sprinting at her at the same time.

Frost summoned 20 small ice shields and he punched his fist forward throwing the shields at Dead, destroying the chains on their way.

Dead raised her scythe and sliced one of the shields before jumping high, using one of the shields to boast her into the air.

Frost swung his index finger and the remaining 18 shields turned around like homing missiles and flew towards Dead while she was still in the air.

One of Dead's giant skull ran over 10 ice soldiers before flying to support Dead. The giant skull flew and manage to crush 8 shields giving Dead time to summon 20 chains to stop the remaining 10 shields.

Dead landed on the ground and charged at Frost.

Frost clicked his fingers and 10 floating ice swords all pointing at Dead appeared around him.

Dead clenched her fist causing 15 chains to appear all ready to protect appeared around her.

As flying chains and ice swords had their own small war, Dead twirled her scythe before swinging it at Frost.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Chariot was forced into a defensive stance as Debra constantly swung her daggers over and over and over in a insane speed while also laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Chariot manage to block with both her shield and sword but so far Debra had managed to cut Chariot in the cheek, stomach and shoulders.

The pain was starting to kick into Chariot's shoulder. The same shoulder that got impaled by a tree branch earlier. Chariot noticed that Debra kept aiming for that shoulder making her wound worse. Chariot's wounds can heal fast like the others but it can't heal if it's constantly being stabbed and sliced by a lunatic.

Another ice soldier got up from behind and stabbed Chariot's back. Gritting her teeth, Chariot turned and kicked the soldier with her sharp wheel slicing it in half.

The second ice soldier charged at Chariot like a bull with it's sheild in front.

Chariot reacted by blocking with her own shield. The two pushed against each other for a brief moment.

Considering it was made out of ice, the soldier was surprisingly strong.

Out of the corner of her eye, Chariot saw Debra and the last ice soldier sprinting at her.

Spikes poked out of Chariot's shield impaling both the ice soldier and it's shield.

She then threw her shield destroying the third ice soldier but Debra manage to jump over it by doing a front flip.

Her shield returned to her like a boomerang just before Debra jumped at Chariot.

Debra swung her daggers which Chariot reacted by blocking with her shield before instantly jabbed her sword forward successfully stabbing Debra in the shoulder.

Debra jumped back and clutched her shoulder. But instead of showing signs of pain, she just smiled.

A horde of ice soldiers manage to get through a group of skeletons and were now charging towards Chariot.

However Mary the giant spider creature smashed through a horde of ice soldiers and took care of them for Chariot.

The girl focuses on Debra waiting for her to make her next move.

Debra's smile never left her face as she raised her dagger.

Chariot expected her to throw it at her but to her shock, Debra swiftly raised her dagger and threw it...at Dead Master.

The dagger impaled Dead right through the head just before Dead was about to land a hit on Frost.

Chariot looked at Dead before looking forward, only to find that Debra was now right in front of her.

The psychotic lady pulled out yet another dagger and began stabbing both her daggers into both of Chariot's shoulder rapidly stabbing at least 5 times per second. The yellow haired girl suffered the full force of pain as Debra showed no hesitation in stabbing her while laughing like a mad man.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Your blood is a funny colour! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

To finish it off, Debra twirled her weapons before stabbing one dagger into the side of Chariot's head and the final dagger into Chariot's shoulder. The same shoulder that both got impaled by a tree branch and had been stab over and over by Debra earlier.

Debra pulled out her daggers in one gruesome movement and Chariot slowly fell to the ground.

At the same time, Dead was still processing the fact that a dagger was literally in her head.

Frost took this opportunity to fire 5 ice arrows straight at Dead.

Three arrows manage to hit Dead in the shoulder and chest before Dead swung her scythe to deflect the rest.

Ignoring the dagger that was still in her head, Dead charged forward, her skull flying right beside her.

"Yes! Yes! Retaliate more!" Frost exclaimed in excitement as he summoned a giant fist made completely out of ice and threw it at Dead.

The skull intercepted, crushing the fist leaving an opening for Dead.

A chain wrapped around Frost's stomach and Dead pulled him towards her. She swung her scythe with the intent of beheading Frost but Debra intercepted by stabbing her with her dagger.

Frost took this chance to swing his arm creating a large icy whirlwind turning Dead's giant skull into ice and sending it flying into the air.

Dead jumped back and summoned another chain. With her left hand, she swung the chain like a whip and hit Debra right in the head.

Debra just smiled as Frost placed his palm on the ground.

Dead's eyes widened as the ground beneath her began to turn into ice.

Suddenly...a long spike of ice poked out of the ground beneath her impaling Dead right through the chest.

The horned girl stopped as green blood oozed out of her chest, the ice spike remained there impailing the girl. Her blood along with her legs all the way to her head began turning to ice.

In under 5 seconds, Dead was now just an ice statue with a long ice spike impaling it's chest.

At that moment, every single one of Dead's skeleton soldiers dropped to the ground until they were just piles of bones.

Frost was panting, but not because he was tired, but because he felt like he had reached the end of a roller coaster. He sighed in pure bliss, "That...that was amazing! No words can describe my excitement!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Frosty, you've got a creepy smile on your smile! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed with a creepy smile.

It was true, the excitement had got into Frost and now he had a smile awfully similar to Debra's

"I've never had so much fun in my life!" Frost looked at Chariot who was on the ground motionless, "Especially her! I enjoyed fighting her the most! Sword and shield was always my favourite type."

"I know!" Debra perked up like a child, "Let's take them home as ice trophies!"

Dr Frost looked at Debra and simply exclaimed, "That's a brilliant idea! It'll remind us of this extraordinary day! A day to remember! ...You know what Debra?"

"What?" Debra asked excitedly to hear what idea Frost just got.

"Since these two were so entertaining...I'll give them a reward." Frost declared.

"HAHAHA! That's hilarious!" Debra laughed, "You're going to give them a reward even though they're dead? HAHAHAHA...how?"

"Simple," Frost said as he looked to the side. "I'll make sure their precious sisters receive a swift death."

"Oh goody!"

He looked at Yomi and Kagari who were still unconscious.

His eyes began to grow a icy blue as he ordered his ice soldiers with an evil smile, "Bring them to me!"

The ice soldiers walked up to Yomi and Kagari and picked them up by their collars.

"Oh can I do the green one? Pretty please!" Debra said creepily acting like a child.

"Be my guest." Dr Frost said as he pointed a ice sword at Kagari's head, "I was going to do the yellow one anyway."

The Nuckelavee stretched it's arms and attacked Strength.

The arms wrapped around Strength's huge arms and threw her into the ceiling.

Still in the air and the Nuckelavee's arms still around hers, the fingers on Strength's arms opened and fired a barrage of bullets onto Wolfheim.

The Nuckelavee was hit in multiple places causing it to let go of Strength.

Wolfheim quickly transformed into a Lancer and fired it's harpoon stinger at Strenght.

As Strength fell, she pulled back her fist and deflected the stinger.

Wolfheim transforms into a King Taijitu and wrapped his tail around Strength blocking her ability to breath.

However he only manage to immobilize her for only a short second before Strength freed her 3rd ogre arm and punched the snake right in the face.

Wolfheim jumps back and transforms into Creep. He then proceeds to charge straight at Strenght.

Strength aims her ogre arms at Wolfheim and opens fires. Thanks to the Creep's sturdy skull, the Creep endured every bullet that Strength threw it's way.

When Wolfheim reached Strength's position in his Creep form, he then proceeds to transform into a Goliath and rams her into the wall almost breaking Strengths ogre arms.

Strength retaliates by pulling back her fourth and second arm and sending a punch at him.

With impressive reflexes especially for an old man, Wolfheim changed into an Ursa and endured Strength punch without suffering large amounts of damage.

He then changed into a large griffon and attempted to swallow Strength whole. But before it manage to do that, Strength forced it's jaw open with her first and second ogre and using her third and fourth arm to punch.

Wolfheim dodged by flying upwards. Right above Strength, Wolfheim transformed into a Boarbatusk and fell towards Strength with it's tusk pointed at Strength.

Strength caught the Boarbatusk's tusk with her right arm but before she could attack Wolfheim transformed into a Beowolf and swipe his claw at her.

Strength blocked with her left arm.

Wolfheim turns into a Seer and attempts to strangle Strength but she swiftly grabbed it's sphere-like head and crushed it.

He transformed into an Ursa and places all it's weight on Strength trying to crush her but Strength was way stronger and pushed Wolfheim back.

The old criminal swiftly turns into a Death Stalker and launches it's stinger at Strengt which Strenght manage to catch easily with her 3rd ogre arm.

She pulled back her fourth ogre arm and threw her fist at Wolfheim but the criminal dodged by turning into a Creep and tackling Strength to the wall.

The girl pushed Wolfheim back, stood back up and got into an defensive stance.

Wolfheim jumped and changed into a Beowolf, swiping his claw rapidly which Strength blocked.

He hastily changes into a lance and fires it's harpoon like stinger which manages to stab Strength in the shoulder.

He changed into a Creep and charged but Strength blocked with all four of her ogre arms,

Wolfheim transformed into a Geist and throws boulders of rocks at Strength which Strength responded by punching every boulder that was thrown at her.

He changed into a Beowolf and jumps swiping his claw managing to leave a cut in Strength's cheeks and chest.

The old criminal then changes into an Goliath and pushed forward but Strenght managed to stop him by grabbed his giant tusk.

He then changed into a Seer again and wrapped it's red tentacles around Strength neck,

He then transforms into an Ursa and smash Strength to the ground.

Wolfheim turns back into a Nuckelavee and stomps on Strength rapidly with it's horse legs. After stomping on Strength at least around 15 times, the Nuckelavee stretched it's limbs and began straggling Strength's neck with it's stretchy arms wrapped around all four of Strength's ogre arms.

Before Strength could fight back, Wolfheim lifted Strength and smashed her onto the ground continuously while at the same time still straggling her neck.

"STRENGTH!" Yuu called out in panic and worry. She wanted to help but her aura and regeneration has yet to kick in. She couldn't move an inch thanks to Wolfheim doing a great number on her ealier.

Wolfheim transformed into an Ursa and crushed her.

He then transformed into a Boarbatusk and tackled her hard into the cave walls.

He turned into a Lance and stabbed her with it's harpoon like stinger.

He changed into a Death Stalker and grabbed her with it's scorpion like claws.

He transformed into a Beowolf and left cuts and deeps scratches all over Strength's body.

Wolfheim transformed back into a Beringel and literally ripped all four of Strength's ogre arms off her body with his large gorilla arms.

As the final blow, He transformed into a King Taijitu and bite her hard with his fangs impaling right through her body.

Blood oozing out of her body, Strength breathed her final breath before her body fell limp.

"STRENGTH!" Yuu cried in disbelief, sorrow and completely shock.

Wolfheim's body once again made disturbing bone cracking noises as he changed back into a human, "You were a worthy opponent, I shall never forget your name. Strength. It's a shame you had to end this way. This cruel world could've used a person like you. You showed no mercy or disrespect during the battle so neither did I. I hope you reincarnate into a better life."

The old man then turns and looks at Yuu making her jump in pure fear, "You should've learn a thing or two from your sister. Sadly you won't be able to once I'm done with you."

Yuu's eyes widened in horror. Her injuries prevented her from moving and even if she could, terror was holding her still.

However Yuu paid no attention to Wolfheim as all of her focus was on Strength.

It couldn't be. Strength can't be dead. Yuu didn't want to believe it. She had just learned a few months ago that she was still alive but now she laid there, her body not moving.

"Do not worry foreigner." Wolfheim said as he slowly walked towards Yuu with the colourless crystal in his hand, "As much as I despise you. I'll honour your sister's death...by making sure to kill you in the most painless way possible."

The ice soldier dragged the sleeping Yomi to the lunatic.

Debra licked her lips as her eyes began to glow. She rubed Yomi's cheek with her left hand and held her dagger with her right hand.

August slowly walked across the top of the mountain towards the girl with the intent to kill.

Mato was still crying in her sleep.

Once Dr Frost had turned Chariot's body into an ice statue.

He focused on Kagari with 15 floating sharp icicles pointed straight at her.

Wolfheim transformed into a Death Stalker and aimed his large stinger at Yuu.

The girl paid no attention to Wolfheim as she was still staring at Strength's motionless body with wide eyes.

August stopped walking right in front of Mato.

He noticed the tears in Mato's eyes as she slept but he didn't really care.

Most of August's victims cried at their last moments so this was no different.

He raised his sword with one hand. With no intention of showing mercy, August swung his-

"Don't. Touch. Her!"

Dr Frost and Debra turned around and faced the direction where they heard the voices come from.

The ice that imprisoned Chariot's and Dead's body began to crack.

At first it was just a small crack. But small sooned went from tiny to huge until a loud sound of ice breaking followed by a bright yellow and green light that blinded the two criminals occurred.

The light faded and they looked: The two other selves were standing up again.

Dead Master reached for the ice spike that was still impaled through her and pulled it out with no hesitation.

The gaping hole that the ice spike left quickly closed and her wounds healed.

Chariot summoned her sword and shield.

The deep bloody wound in her shoulder healed instantly along with her other injuries.

Both had a very dark aura around them. One was dark green and the other was dark yellow.

Wolfheim turned around to see where the voice had come from and was hit with a wave of mixed emotions.

Strength was standing back up.

Bits of metal appeared out of nothing and gathered around Strength.

Within seconds, Strength had four brand new Ogre arms.

She punched her giant fist together as her cuts, scratches and wounds healed rapidly.

A dark orange aura radiated around her body.

August froze in place with his sword a inch close to Mato's head.

He lifted his sword and turned around to face Black.

Despite having no arms, Black was somehow standing back up with her head facing the ground and eyes closed.

Black slowly lifted her head and her eyes flew wide open, her purple flaming eye igniting once again.

Glaring at August, Black lifted the left side of her armless torso.

Almost instantly, hundreds and hundreds of tiny metal scraps appeared out of nowhere to combined together into a new metallic arm.

Clenching her fist made out of metal, Black lifted the right side of her torso.

This time, thousands and thousands of metal scraps appeared and combined together to create a brand new Insane Cannon Lance.

A dark purple aura radiated around Black's body.

Remaining calm although a bit concern, August said, "First my semblance: Draining Mist, doesn't affect you and now you survive after being stabbed in the heart. No matter how great your aura is, both are physically impossible."

August looked at Black's purple circular eyes that were glaring at him and could only come up with one conclusion. "I see..."

"You're not human." Wolfheim concluded looking into Strength's eyes.

He had never faced an opponent like Strength before and now he knew why.

"You're a..."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They're monsters! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

"That's...that's..." Frost tried to search for the right word to describe his feelings of...adrenaline, "INCREDIBLE! Just when I thought the fun had ceased, you come back from the dead! Finally, an epic battle worthy of my power! This will be the battle of the century! Yes! Yes! Let's have more fun!"

A creepy smile appeared on both Debra and Frost as Dead Master and Chariot glared at them with hatred.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"The four of them are purely based on the feelings of their otherself." Jack explains to Sing-love.

"Only an otherself can kill another otherself. The reason for that is because they're driven by emotions of their otherselves and from where they come from, their emotions are extremely fragile and can be broken by mere words. The only way to hurt them is by messing with the feelings and emotion of their otherselves. This is the main reason why Black, Dead, Chariot and Strength are the strongest warriors out there. Not only are their attacks deadly, it's absolutely impossible to kill them physically."

"I see." Sing-love said with an amused grin, "but their weakness is pretty vulnerable."

Jack grinned evilly, "Exactly, take out the weak otherself like Mato and they won't be a problem to us. But that's for another chapter, for now let's just enjoy the show."

"A event like this requires an assemble." August declared as he proceeds to jump off the mountain.

In mid air, August turns to face the mountain and swings his sword horizontally firing a large purple wave of energy that literally slices the mountain in half followed by a large explosion.

Black was going to chase after but she quickly remembered Mato.

She sprinted to Mato's side, picked her up and jumped off the crumbling mountain completely ignoring the fact that Miku was nowhere to be found.

August fell towards the bottom of the mountain with Black following.

The underground cave shook viciously as debris of rocks fell from the ceiling.

"What's happening?" Yuu asked in confusion.

Wolfheim on the other hand knew exactly what this meant, "So were regrouping huh? Very well then. Let us move this battle upwards."

At that moment Wolfheim transformed into a large Nevermore and flew upwards, smashing through the ceiling.

Large boulders of rock fell towards Strength and Yuu.

Strength acted quickly and picked Yuu up with her orge arms, "Hang on."

"You don't have to tell me twice." Yuu said before coughing.

With Yuu secured, Strength jumped up and onto one of the falling boulders.

She swiftly jumped up from one falling boulder to another until she reached the very top.

The ground beneath Debra, Frost, Chariot and Dead shook.

Dead and Chariot heard an explosion coming from the mountain. They looked up and saw August falling towards them.

Still in the air, August swung his sword firing a purple wave of dark energy directly at Dead and Chariot.

With extremely quick reflexes, Chariot stood in front of Dead with her shield in front of her.

The large purple wave made impact with Chariot's shield and both Dead and Chariot was engulfed in a massive explosion leaving lots and lots of smoke.

August landed on the ground right next to Debra and Frost.

"AUGUSTY! YOU'RE HERE!" Debra exclaimed as she saw the Alleviating flower in August's possession, "AND YOU GOT THE FLOWER!"

Not long after, the ground next to them began to crack open and a Nevermore came smashing through the ground and into the air.

Wolfheim circled the sky for a short moment before turning back into a human and landing right next to Debra, Frost and August.

"WOLFY YOU'RE HERE! AND YOU GOT THE ROCK! EVERYONE'S HERE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

"Silence you psychotic fool! It's a crystal not a rock!" Wolfheim snapped as he made sure the Colourless Crystal was safe and sound in his possession, "this isn't the time to be playing around. From the looks of it, I'm guessing each one of us ran into...one of them."

"Yep! And now it seems were fighting all of them at once! How exciting!" Frost said in passion.

It was then Wolfheim noticed the creepy smile on Dr Frost's face, "What happen to you?"

Frost chuckled which almost made Wolfheim jumped. Frost had never chuckled before.

"Oh it's nothing. I was just...thinking...it's about time we had some... real fun." Frost replied in a very eerie tone.

"Great." Wolfheim said sarcastically, "Now we've got two lunatics on this team."

"Hey guys!" Debra said acting like a child who had just learned something new and wanted to tell everyone, "I found out a lot about them thanks to me playing with the green one's mind...including their names. What to know?"

"Oh do tell." Frost said with great interest. This was the first time Wolfheim had seen Frost getting along with Debra.

"Let's see...the purple one is Black Rock Shooter...the green one is Dead Master...the yellow one is Chariot-"

"Chariot." Frost said with pure bliss, "Yes, a worthy name indeed for someone like her."

Debra continued, "and the last one is-"

"Strength." Wolfheim answered.

"Yeah! How did you know?!" Debra asked like a child wanting to know the meaning of a word.

"Their names conclude that they're not human." Wolfheim ignored Debra's question.

"So?" Dr Frost asked, "Who cares! Destroying them is going to be fun whether they're human or not!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Oh yeah one more thing," Debra remembered, "Apparently all eight of them are from different worlds-"

"Everyone." August interrupted, grabbing Wolfheim's, Debra's and Frost's attention instantly.

"They're coming." August said in a serious tone looking directly at the clouds of smoke that August created earlier.

The four criminals looked and waited.

It wasn't long until they heard the sound of heavy footsteps and large machinery weapons being dragged across the floor.

Emerging from the smoke. Dead Master, Chariot, Strength and Black Rock Shooter slowly walked out of the smoke and into the field where they're glowing circulars eyes were highly visible.

The four otherselves glared at the four criminals with pure anger and vengeance.

"HAHA!" Frost cheered, "Yes this will be a battle to remember! A battle like this deserves a much more worthy environment!"

Frost clicked his fingers and all of his ice soldiers cracked into hundreds of pieces. All these pieces gathered together and created a large dome of ice around the four otherselves and criminals, blocking any exit or entrance. The dome of ice was huge and was as tall as the a mountain.

Inside the dome of ice, Dead and Frost both summoned their armies.

Living bones faced ice puppets.

Chariot's Mary and Dead's two giant skull revived themselves and they faced the criminals.

"May the strongest survive." Wolfheim said darkly.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

"Let us finish this once and for all." August firmly grasped his sword.

Chariot's wheels made a mechanical roar as a dark yellow aura appeared around her.

A icy whirlwind gathered around Dr Frost as a cold blue aura appeared around him.

Multiple floating chains surrounded Dead Master as a dark green aura appeared around her.

Debra's red eyes began to glow a dark red as a deadly red aura appeared around her.

Strength punched her ogre arms together as a dark orange aura appeared around her.

Wolfheim was silent as a dark red and black aura appeared around him.

Black Rock Shooter's flamming eyes was brighter than ever as a dark purple appeared around her.

August readied his sword as a different dark purple aura appeared around him.

Having all their auras in the same place shook the ground like an earthquake.

The ground shook and eyes glared at each other before...

The ground stopped shaking.

The Otherselves vs The Four Most Wanted Criminals

Chariot charged forward with her wheels.

Dr Frost used an icy whirlwind to carry him forward.

Dead pulled back he scythe and charged forward.

Debra pulled out two new laser daggers and sprinted forward.

Despite holding four ogre arms, Strength jumped forward at an incredible height.

Wolfheim transformed into a Beringel and followed Strength's action.

Black deatched her lance from her body with a chain connecting them and sprinted forward with her lance flying besides her.

August aimed his sword and charged forward.

The four warriors and criminals charged all at the same time with their army behind them.

Both armies with their leaders in front clashed with a loud CLANG!

With her wounds slowly healing, Yuu made her way to the safe side where the other girls were.

Even from here, Yuu could see the giant dome of ice and hear the battle that was occurring within it.

Yuu looked and saw Kagari sleeping beneath the shade of a tree. She looked right and saw Yomi who seemed to be having a mental breakdown in her sleep.

Yuu looked left and saw Miku who was on her knees, looking down at Mato who was unconscious.

"Is she alright?" Yuu asked Miku.

Miku just looked at Yuu and smiled.

Before Yuu could start acting suspicious, Kagari start groaning.

"argh...is it morning already? W-what hap-" Kagari said before suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her arms, legs and chest, "awk! nevermind I remember now."

Kagari looked down and saw the holes in her clothes where Frost's sharp icicles impaled her earlier. The blood was gone and her wounds seemed to have closed already but she could still feel a bit of pain similar to a bruise.

Kagari then heard the noises coming from the dome of ice and looked, "What's happening? Did you two can get the flower and the crystal? Where's-"

"Calm down," Yuu said interrupting, "Mato, Miku and Yomi are right here. Unfortunately the crystal and the flower seems to be with...them. Our otherselves have engage in battle thoughYuu answered.

The yellow haired girl sighed in relief, "That's good, if Chariot and the other three are fighting then we've already won right?"

"Not...exactly." Yuu said in a serious tone.

"What do you mean?"

"They're up against the four most wanted criminals from this world. Strength fought one of them named Wolfheim and..."

"And what?" Kagari asked anxiously.

"They were pretty much equally strong." Yuu admitted.

"You're kidding?" During her months in Remnant, Kagari had never seen anyone beat Chariot or the other three or even match up to their skills. Besides Sing-love of course.

"Right now it's a 4 vs 4." Yuu told Kagari, "It's...hard to say which side is going to win though?"

"MATO!" Yomi suddenly screamed as she woke up, jump scaring everyone. Yomi was panting and panicking making her wounds worse. Similar to Kagari, Yomi's wounds had already regenerated but pain was clearly still there.

Kagari rushed to Yomi's side and place both of leather gloves on her shoulders, "It's okay. It's okay. You're safe."

"W-wheres Mato?!" Yomi said clutching her chest as the pain was still there.

She still remembered Frost throwing an ice spear right through her heart. In fact, Yomi wondered how she was still alive.

"She's sleeping over there. From the looks of it, her body suffered a lot of damage but she seems fine now." Yuu answered pointing a finger at Miku who was still watching over Mato.

Almost instantly, a sting of jealousy replaced Yomi's pain. Miku must've been watching over Mato as she slept, Yomi thought.

Suddenly, Mato sat up like a rocket almost headbutting Miku...again.

"WHAT HAP-"

"Calm down." Yuu said for the second time, "Were safe but our otherselves are in battle right now."

Yomi's mind slowly went from thinking about Mato to Dead. Debra controlled Yomi like a puppet so she wouldn't be surprise if Dead was fighting Debra right now.

Mato felt really dizzy and her body was weak...although it felt much better than before. It was then Mato realised that Black must've saved her from August hence why she's still alive.

While Mato was concerned about Black, Dead, Chariot and Strenght. She was glad Kagari, Yomi, Yuu and Miku were alright...wait a minute.

Mato's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

Mato slowly turned around and looked at...Miku.

Miku and Mato looked at each other for a second before Mato slowly took a step back.

"What's wrong?" Kagari asked.

"H-how...I-I thought...didn't you-" Mato couldn't find the right words.

"Geez Mato, I know Miku can be creepy at some point but I though you were used to it by now." Yuu a bit concern about Mato's expression.

Suddenly, Mato remembered what happened.

(FLASHBACK)

"I thought so." With no hesitation, August swung his sword.

Mato looked up in both sadness and horror.

A look of incredulous shock flashed through her face as she saw that Miku's body was in the air...in two pieces.

The sound of Miku's body parts echoed as they fell down the mountain.

(FLASHBACK ENDS)

"Weren't you...killed?" Mato asked causing everyone to freeze.

Miku remained silent. Mato scanned Miku's body for any injury, bloods or wounds...nothing...Mato couldn't see any...Miku looked completely fine.

"What do you mean? She's standing right here." Kagari said breaking the silence.

"Maybe you were dreaming."

Everyone looked at Yuu.

"When I came here, you seemed to be having a nightmare. Maybe you dreamt about Miku getting killed." Yuu suggested.

Mato placed her hand on her head, "...Yeah, I guess you're right. It was just a dream...it felt very realistic but... I mean Miku is right here. There's no way you she died..." Mato looked back at Miku searching for a sign of reassurance, "Right Miku?"

Miku didn't say anything. Her expression was unreadable. She just smiled.

A large explosion was heard from the large dome ice alarming all the girls.

"Should we...help them?" Yomi suggested a bit worried for Dead.

"No...' Yuu quickly replied, "If we just charge into there without a plan, we'll just get in their way or even worse...they'll lose because of us. But at the same time, if we just stay here...it might turn into a long stalemate."

Everyone went silent for a moment as the noise of battle filled the background.

"I have an idea." Mato declared after a few moments, "Can all of you still fight?"

The girls looked at each other. With a lot of nods and shrugs, they decided that even if their bodies still hurt from earlier...they could still fight.

"Alright then..." Mato stood up, she almost trip as her body still felt a little bit weak but she continued nevertheless.

Mato turned and face the giant dome of ice. The sound of the criminals and her otherselves was just getting louder and louder as Mato approached it with the others following her.

The dome was both taller than a mountain and wider than a stadium. Black and the others were probally fighting right in the middle of it.

On the outside of the dome, Mato stopped in front of it, placed her hand on the dome of ice and closed her eyes to focus.

Mato had never tried doing this from a long distance but now wasn't the time to thinking about it.

After a short moment, Mato opened her eyes and focused all her remaining power on her telepathy, "Black...can you hear me?"

Black swung her sword at August which August blocked.

Debra did a front flip over August and stabbed Black's shoulder with her dagger.

A chain wrapped around Debra's neck and lifted her into the air.

Before Dead could smash Debra into the ground, Frost interfered and turned her chains into ice.

Chariot zoomed past Dead and swung her sword directly at Frost's head.

Debra laughed as she took that opportunity to slice Chariot's back.

Strength came out of nowhere and threw two of her ogre arms at Debra.

Wolfheim stood in front of Debra and blocked with his Beringel body.

August and Black exchanged a couple attacking and blocking with their blades.

August then jumped back and fired a purple wave of dark energy straight at Dead Master.

With insane reflexes, Black sprinted and stood in front of Dead blocking the attack with her lance.

Dead raised her hand and fired 10 chains: 5 at August and 5 at Debra.

August swung his sword twice destroying the chains while Debra evaded and sprinted at Dead.

Strength aimed her 2nd and 4th arm and fired machine gun bullets straight at Debra.

Debra saw the attack coming from mile away and swiftly evaded every single bullet.

Wolfheim changed into a Lancer and fired his harpoon like stinger at Strength while she was firing at Debra.

Strength stopped firing and swung her first ogre arm deflecting the sharp stinger.

Frost somehow got behind Strength and fired three icicles at her.

Faster than a flying jet, Chariot stood in front of Strength's back blocking the icicles with her shield.

She deployed spikes from her shield and charged forward towards Frost faster than a racecar.

Fr Frost raised his hand and 5 giant fist made of ice appeared and threw themselves at Chariot.

Unfazed by the size of the ice fist, Chariot moved left to right evading each one of them.

Just when Chariot was about to reach Frost, Debra ran past and sliced Chariot's chest with her dagger.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed before running away from the wave of chains Dead was throwing at her.

Dead swung her scythe multiple times at Debra but the lunatic continued to do front flips, backflips and side steps to evade everything.

Black's lance detached itself from Black's body and she threw it into the air. Gun turrets appeared on Black's lance and a wave of purple bullets rained down in all directions.

Wolfheim transformed into an armoured Boarbatusk to endure the bullets.

Debra stood behind Frost as Frost summoned an ice shield to protect him.

Chariot stood in front of Dead Master using her shield to block while Strength stood next to Black.

The bullets failed to phaze August's armour.

Both armies of ice soldiers and skeletons were suffering as half of both armies were being wiped out by Black's bullets. Despite the ice soldiers winning before, the skeletons seemed to be equally matched with the ice solider now.

Standing right next to Black, Strenght aimed all four of her ogre arms at August. Her four ogre arms turned into gatling guns and she opened fired everything she had.

Combined with Black's lance rapidly firing. Thousands and thousands of orange and purple bullets rained down on August per second.

However even with Strengths and Black's combined power, August's armour remained unfazed and damaged.

While Debra and Frost were taking cover from the bullets, Dead summoned one of her giant skulls to attack them while Chariot ordered Mary to fire large macaroons at them.

August noticed this and swung his sword firing at a large purple wave of dark energy directly at Strenght and Black.

The pair stopped firing bullets from their heavy weapons but didn't have enough time to evade August's attack.

Fortunately, Chariot was fast enough and manage to stand in front of Strength and Black, blocking the massive attack with her shield.

Dead Master followed Chariot, summoning chains to attack August.

The chains wrapped around August's armoured hand, neck, legs and chest.

Dead pulled on her chains applying the pressure of the chains onto August.

However August's armour was more durable as Dead's chains ended up breaking instead of his armour.

August then raised his sword skyward as large amounts of dark energy began to gather in his sword.

Black instantly recognized that move as it was the same special move August used to defeat Mato and her.

Dead, Chariot and Strength must've picked up that August was about to do something dangerous and was about to stop him.

But the other three got in there way.

Wolfheim transformed into a Nevermore, he flied and swoop down on them from above.

Debra sprinted towards them from the side with Frost right behind her.

Strength jumped and pulled back her first and third ogre arm and aimed at the Nevermore's beak.

When Wolfheim got closer, he changed from Nevermore to a Beringel and pulled back his fist.

Their fist collided with great force creating a large crater beneath them. The collision was so loud that a visible sound wave was sent in all direction, blowing wind in all direction.

Dead twirled her scythe and swung her scythe. Debra did a front flip over Dead's scythe. Both of Debra's hand landed on Dead's scythe and while upside down, she spun and kicked Dead right in the head breaking one of her horns.

Dr Frost swung his arm firing a sharp wave of icy wind at Chariot. Chariot blocked with her shield but as a result, her shield was covered in ice.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Frost saw Black sprinting towards August who was still gathering large amounts of dark energy.

Frost turned and pointed his index finger.

A large ice shield suddenly appeared in front of August at the exact same moment Black swung her lance. As a result, Black's lance got stuck in the ice that was in front of August.

Frost clicked his fingers and in an instant, an ice prison wrapped itself around Black's body immobilizing her right in front of AUgust's eyes. .

Frost turned to looked back at Chariot, only to find that Chariot was now right in front of him.

Before he could react, Chariot swung her sword downward cutting deep into Frost's shoulder drawing a lot of blood.

The scientist's expression showed great pain. However that expression was quickly replaced with a smile of adrenaline and excitement.

15 Ice soldiers appeared behind Chariot and jumped at her.

Chariot let go of Frost and moved back to evade the ice swords that were pointing at her head.

As Chariot sliced the ice soldiers with her sword and wheels, Dr Frost placed his hand oh his wounded shoulder and a small icy whirlwind gathered around his wound. Within seconds, the deep wound that Chariot gave him had healed...or freezed to be more specific.

The ice prison that wrapped itself around Black began to crack within a second, Black burst free from the ice and swung her lance at August.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed as she appeared right behind Black and stabbed both her laser daggers into both sides of her head just when Black was about to strike Black.

Black's mouth went wide open in pain as Debra's eyes began to glow, invading Black's mind.

A chain wrapped itself around Debra's neck and lifted her into the air.

Dead Master then smashed Debra onto the ground.

Debra's face showed signs of pain for a split second before she began giggling, "Hahehahe...HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The psychotic girl began twirling rapidly slicing Dead's chains into pieces with her daggers.

Dead raised her arm and a skeleton's hand poked out of the ground and grabbed Debra's leg. Around 5-10 skeletons appeared from the ground and wrapped themselves around Debra immobilizing her.

However, before Dead could do anything, Wolfheim transformed into a Beowolf and swipe his claws destroying the skeletons around Debra.

"Thanks Woffy!" Debra thanked with the tone of a toddler.

Wolfheim transformed into a Creep and charged directly at Dead with Debra right behind him.

Dead prepared herself as Wolfheim charged at her at full force.

Suddenly, Strength came sprinting from the side and punched Wolfheim right in the face sending him flying across the field.

As Strength pursued Wolfheim, Dead raised her scythe just in time to block Debra's daggers.

Strength aimed her machine guns and fired.

Wolfheim transformed into a nevermore and flew into the air evading the bullets.

He flew above her and swooped down on, her transforming into an Ursa.

Chariot came charging in with her wheels while Frost was firing huge pieces of ice at her.

One of those huge pieces of ice just so happen to be in the shape of an incline plane and Chariot used that to fly into the air until she was between Wolfheim and Strength.

So instead of hitting Strength, Wolfheim ended up hitting Chariot's shield.

Chariot pulled a trigger deploying spikes from her shield stabbing Wolfheim in multiple places of his Ursa body.

Wolfheim transformed into a Lancer and pulled backwards however Strength had already made her move by jumping into the air and throwing her ogre arm directly at him.

Chariot safely landed on the ground and continued evading the large pieces of ice that Frost was still throwing at her.

Dr Frost looked as the girl as she swiftly dodged every attack that he sent her way...more specifically...her wheels.

"Two can play that game." Frost said with a grin as he clicked his fingers.

Suddenly, 5 ice soldiers riding motorbike made out of pure ice appeared and started chasing Chariot.

Each one of the ice soldiers riding an ice motorbike held a crossbow and fired arrows at Chariot as they chased her. At the same time, Dr Frost was rapidly firing sharp icicles like a machine gun.

Evading suddenly became a lot harder. An arrow grazed her cheek, she had been shoot in multiple places by icicles and yellow blood spat in different directions.

Unfazed by this, Chariot began driving backwards on her wheels facing the ice motorbike drivers.

Chariot threw her shield destroying one of the ice bikes.

Frost fired an sharp disk made out ice at Chariot's wheels.

The yellow girl bent down and despite having wheels instead of legs, she jumped doing a front flip over the disk.

While in mid-air, Chariot's shield return to her. As she fell, she pointed her sharp wheels at one of the bikes.

She landed on top of the bike slicing both the ice soldier and the motor bike in half. The last three motorbikes charged towards her with Frost shooting icicles from a distance.

Chariot picked up speed and her wheels rolled rapidly as the motorbikes chased after her.

As this all happened, August continued to gather more dark energy in his sword.

After a few seconds, Chariot suddenly stopped dead in her tracks.

Turning around, she pulled back her sword and sliced one of the motorbike drivers as it zoomed past her.

The last two motor bikes turned around and charged at her. This time...Chariot didn't do anything and just waited.

Suddenly, chains came out of nowhere and wrapped around the two ice soldiers along with their bikes.

Dead pulled on her chain crushing the two ice soldiers into pieces with the pressure of chains.

With those two gone, Chariot picked up speed and zoomed towards Dr Frost.

Debra got behind Dead and attempted to stab Dead but one of Dead's skeleton minions happily intercepted and took the blow.

Dead Master turned her head and glared at Debra.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Is that your funny face?! HAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

Dead swung her scythe but Debra evaded by doing a backflip.

Grabbing one of her chains, Dead used the chain like a whip and swung it at Debra.

"OH I LOVE TO DANCE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra exclaimed as she moved her body in very flexible ways to evade the chains. Her gymnastic skills were phenomenal and her body was extremely flexible ...that aspect only made Debra look more creepier.

A horde of Dead Master's skeletons each holding a vareity of deadly weapons surrounded Debra.

A skeleton swung a large axe vertically at the lunatic.

Debra bent down to dodge and sliced the skeletons legs before kicking it in the face.

With her daggers, she swiftly sliced 4 skeletons without getting a single scratch on her.

She then stood on her hand and spun around kicking three more skeletons with her legs cracking their skulls.

Five skeletons jumped at Debra at the same time from different directions.

Debra smiled.

The psychotic girl ducked and rolled causing two skeletons to accidentally hit each other therefore both were destroyed.

Debra then stood up and swung her daggers, slicing their skulls, arms and chest into pieces.

A chain wrapped around Debra's leg and without warning, Dead lifted Debra into the air by the foot.

As Debra dangled from the air...she smiled.

Debra pulled back her arm and despite being upside down, she manage to throw one of her daggers and hit Dead right in the shoulder causing Dead to drop both her scythe and Debra.

Debra instantly picked herself up and jumped at Dead, swing her dagger at Dead.

The horned girl stumbled a bit but her natural instinct kicked in as soon as she sensed Debra coming.

She made a fist with her claw, pulled it back and punched Debra right in the face sending her flying across the field.

Debra crashed into one of the huge pieces of ice that Frost was fired earlier at Chariot. The huge piece of ice cracked when Debra made impact with her.

Debra coughed out blood as she fell onto the ground.

Dead Master pulled the dagger out of her shoulder with no hesitation and picked up her scythe.

The lunatic's body suddenly twitched and before Dead could do anything, Debra jumped back up like a rocket.

Her aura began to glow signifying that her wounds were already healing as Debra bent her dislocated arm back into place, her expression showed no signs of pain...just a creepy smile.

Debra began to gligle, "Ha...heha...ha...HAHAHAHAHAHA! That felt goooood! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Without wasting another second, Dead pulled back her scythe and charged at Debra.

Meanwhile, Black pulled out the ice spear out of her chest.

It was now getting frustrating. August was right in front of her completely vulnerable but no matter how fast Black acted, the other three always interfered.

So far, every attempt to stop August from gathering more and more dark energy has lead to Black getting frozen, stung by a Lancer's stinger, having a dagger thrown at her back and recently, an ice spear impaling her chest.

Ignoring, the pain and the purple blood that was oozing out of her body. Black stood in front of August and swung her lance-

A Geist that had possessed huge amounts of ice as a body suddenly came falling from the ceiling and towards Black.

Wolfheim in his geist body, pulled back his giant ice fist and threw it at Black as he fell closer towards her.

Out of reflex, Black riase her lance and blocked. While she received no damage, the knockback she received was immense.

Not long afterwards, Strength came falling from the ceiling aiming her ogre arms at Wolfheim.

Wolfheim swiftly changed into a Beringel, grabbed Strength with his gorilla-like arms and threw her at directly in Black's direction at full force.

Black slowly stood back up...only to get knocked back down as Strength crashed into her.

As the two slowly recovered, Wolfheim reverted back into his human form and examined the situation.

"Debra and Frost seemed to be doing exceptionally well. Although I have to admit, they're opponents are quite formidable." Wolfheim commented.

"Wolfheim!" August suddenly called.

"Yes?" Wolfheim turned to look at August who was still gathering large amount of dark energy in his sword.

"Stall those two until I'm ready." August ordered, "This will all be over soon."

Wolfheim closed his eye and just sighed in response, "I'm getting too old for this."

The elderly criminal turned around, opened his eyes and faced forward. Strength and Black were already sprinting towards him.

With Debra and Frost occupied, Wolfheim was the only one who stood between Black and August.

The two girls both jumped at Wolfheim swinging their heavy large weapons.

Wolfheim swiftly transformed into a Nevermore and tackled the two girls.

With Strength and Black hanging onto the Nevermore's wings, Wolfheim flew upwards high into the sky.

Pushing against the wind, Black pulled back her sword and stabbed it into Wolfheim's wing.

Wolfheim responded by transforming into a small lancer, dropping Strenght and Black.

He then transformed into a Lancer and fired his harpoon-like stinger.

The stinger impaled Strength through the back before she hit the ground, the lancer than threw Strength in the opposite direction.

Black landed on the ground and sprinted towards August. However she didn't manage to get far as Wolfheim came falling from the sky transforming into a Beringel.

The flaming eyed girl jumped back to evade and aimed her lance.

But before she could open fire, Wolfheim grabbed Black's face with his Beringel hand, lifted and smashed her onto the ground creating a small crater.

Strength jumped an incredible height and threw her giant fist at Wolfheim.

With reflexes as fast as a animal, Wolfheim transformed into a Nuckelavee and extended his stretchy arms wrapping them around Strength's ogre arms.

He spun Strength in a full circle before throwing her across the field.

Black stood back up and swung her lance at Wolfheim.

Wolfheim evaded by transforming into a Beowolf and ducking under her lance before transforming into a large Ursa, crushing Black onto the gorund under his heavy weight.

From a distance, Strength aimed her four ogre arms at Wolfheim however her head was feeling a bit dizzy from being thrown all over the place.

Before her arms could even turn into machine guns, Wolfheim transformed into a Death Stalker, grabbed Black with his huge scorpion claws and charged straight at Strenght.

The girl opened fire but didn't manage to shoot that much before Wolfheim hastily reached her position. Wolfheim then transformed into a King Taijitu and wrapped his large tail around Strength strangling her.

Black aimed her lance and fired a barrage at bullets at Wolfheim.

The criminal dodged by transforming into a smaller species of grimm known as a Beowolf, letting go of Strength.

The wolf's speed was fast and Wolfheim successfully landed multiple scratches on Black's body with his sharp claws.

Strength at stood up ignoring the pain and threw two of her orge at Wolfheim.

Wolfheim transformed into a large Beringel and caught Strength's arms with just his fist.

Black took this chain to swing her lance at his head but Wolfheim didn't even need to look her way in order to catch her lance with just his other hand.

With one on both sides, Strength and Black pushed against Wolfheim.

Wolfheim stood his ground and began clenching his fist crushing Strengths arms and Black's lance.

Strength quickly pulled back her other two ogre arms and threw them at Wolfheim but he saw it coming from a mile away and evaded by transforming back into a Lancer and flying upwards so instead of hitting Wolfheim, Strength accidental hit Black right in the face.

Black suffered the full blow of the attack. While a look of shock and horror flashed across Strength's face, Wolfheim took this opportunity to deliver his final blow.

Still in the air, Wolfheim transformed into a fully grown Goliath and fell towards Strength and Black, attempting to use the massive weight of his Goliath's body to crush both of them.

Suddenly, a giant skull with flamming green eyes came flying and rammed into Wolfheim in mid-air sending Wolfheim flying across the field.

A swarm of flying chains appeared and wrapped themselves around Wolfheim's goliath body temporarily immobilizing him.

Strength and Black looked to see Dead was right there standing besides them.

Before anything could be said, not that they were going to say anything in the first place, a laser dagger was thrown at Dead's head.

Dead Master deflected the dagger with her scythe without even having to look in the dagger's direction.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed as she came to Wolfheim's aid and sliced all the chains.

"I could've done that myself." Wolfheim said coldly without a thank you.

"HAHAHAHA! I know! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

The explosion of ice was heard nearby.

Black looked and saw Chariot racing towards them with Frost behind her. An icy whirlwind was carrying Frost and he was rapidly firing icicles at Chariot.

Black raised her lance and a barrage of purple bullets rained down on Frost.

Frost stopped attacking Chariot and summoned an ice shield to protect himself from the bullets.

Chariot did a u-turn around Black, Strenght and Dead since she had picked up a lot speed before stopping right next to them.

Frost regrouped with Debra and Wolfheim, "Amazing! Such eccentric skills, movement and mentality! It's...It's...invigorating!"

"And discomforting." Wolfheim added.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

"Even after all the attacks we've made them endure, they remain standing...I wouldn't be surprised if they were unkillable." Wolfheim added ignoring Debra's laughter.

"HA! That just makes it more exciting!" Frost cheered as he looked at Chariot and other three, "Isn't that right girl?!"

Strength and Black responded by firing a barrage of bullets in their direction which Frost reacted by summoning a huge barrier of ice around August, Debra, Wolfheim and him.

As the bullets rained down on the shield, Wolfheim sighed. He could only see one way out of this everlasting stalemate.

"We may or may not have the ability to kill them...but he certainly does."

From the outside of the ice shield, Strength and Black were still rapidly firing bullets.

Dead ordered her giant skull while Chariot ordered Mary.

The skeleton army was doing a good job keeping the ice army at bay so Mary and the giant skulls didn't need to help them anymore.

The giant flying skull and Mary charged at the shield and rammed into it. Strength and Black stopped firing as they saw the shield began to crack.

Mary and the giant skull stopped and retreated until they were standing behind Black, Strenght, Dead and Chariot.

Black approached the ice shield with the other three behind her.

All four of them noticed that the criminals had suddenly gone quietly.

Without hesitation, Black pulled back her lance and smashed the ice shield into pieces.

Black's eyes widened as she didn't see Wolfheim or Debra or Frost. She saw August. Even worst, it seemed he was ready.

Black already knew August was going to use the same move he used earlier but this one seemed more dangerous.

"Bye! Bye!"

The four of them looked to the side and saw Wolfheim, Debra and Frost standing at a very far distance from them. Debra was waving at them with her usual creepy smile.

Before any of them could react, August pulled back his sword which had already gathered an immense amount of dark energy... and swung it.

"Destructive Drainage!"

All four of them were engulfed in an extremely massive wave of pitch black energy.

No words in the vocabulary of Remnant could ever describe the amount of pain that the girls suffered at that moment. Even Mary and the giant skulls got caught in it.

There was a enormous explosion and the four of them were in the middle of the explosion.

The attack was so powerful that Black, Dead, Chariot and Strength...were all disintegrated in the blast. Their bodies crumbling into pieces until not a single trace of them was left.

Despite the four of them being in four different places, Mato, Yuu, Kagari and Yomi all heard the loud boom.

"What was that?" Kagari asked through Mato's telepathy.

"Not sure." Yuu replied trying to figure it out.

"I hope they're okay." Yomi was getting more and more worried.

"Have they given us the signal yet?" Yuu asked Mato.

Mato was silent.

"Mato?" Yuu called again. At first she thought Mato's telepathy was fading before Mato suddenly spoke.

"I can't hear them."

"What do you mean by that?" Kagari asked.

"I've lost connection with Black and the others and I don't know why." Mato replied.

"Are..." Yomi began too scared to think about it, "Are they-"

"No!" Kagari quickly interrupted, 'There's no way Chariot would lose. Stop thinking about stuff like that."

Yomi looked down in guilt, "Sorry."

"In any case," Yuu said trying to change the subject, "if we can't communicate with them, the plan is pretty much void-"

"WAIT!" Mato suddenly called as she listen as close as she could.

The three other girls were silent for a short moment before Mato said, "I hear something."

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed, "They all went BOOM! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Frost sighed in satisfactory, "I guess even the greatest entertainments must come to an end."

Dead's Skeleton army had all fallen and was now a pile of bones.

Frost clicked his fingers and his army of ice soldiers disappeared. He didn't remove the ice dome though for he wanted to savour the moment.

"By the way, did you get the items?" Frost asked.

Wolfheim responded by pulling out the Colourless Crystal, "Why wouldn't I? August had the flower as well."

"Well!" Dr Frost said, slowly returning to his usual bored personality, "I guess that's it. The flower and the crystal are probally worth millions on the black market. We can split the reward into four and still have so much to spare. So we can definitely quit all this criminal stuff after this."

"Yay! Vacation time!" Debra cheered, "What are you going to do after this Frosty?"

Frost just shrugged, "Don't know. Probably just travel and find worthy opponents. Although I doubt I'll find anyone like Chariot. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity." Fr Frost sighed as his boredom began to kick in again, "Life is so boring ain't it. How about you Debra?"

"Hmmm...Maybe the circus. I heard the circus was fun, I could join them." Debra said.

Frost raised an eyebrow, "I doubt they'll allow you inside with all your criminal records. But why the circus? What's so fun about it?"

"My parents used to always take me to the circus, especially the ones with faunas." Debra replied.

"Was that before they started torturing you?" Frost asked.

"...ha...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

August and Wolfheim were dead silent.

August stood there in silence looking at the clouds of smoke that his attack created.

"Wolfheim..." August said not taking his eyes off the smoke, "You sense it too correct?"

Wolfheim nodded with a look of hesitation, "Yes...something's not right."

The smoke cleared and August and Wolfheim couldn't help but jump a little as a tiny gasp escaped their throats.

"What's wrong Augusty? Wolfy?" Debra said, her smile stuck onto her face.

"Their...weapons." Wolfheim began, "They're still there."

A sense of hope and eagerness build up in Frost's heart, "You don't say!"

August pointed and Debra, Frost looked.

Truth to Wolfheim's word, their weapons were still there. While Black, Chariot, Strength and Dead Master was nowhere to be seen for they had been disintegrated in the blast. However Black's lance, Dead Master's Scythe, Chariot's sword and shield and Strength's Ogre arms remained lying on the ground.

"OH goody!" Debra cheered acting like a child who had just found an easter egg, "Souvenirs!"

"Debra wait." August said taking a step forward until he was in front of the group.

There was silence.

All four of them looked at the weapons that laid on the ground like a grave.

Their eyes were widerer, looking for any signs of movement.

Their ears seemed sharper than usual, picking up every faint sigh of wind, every roll of a tiny pebble.

Silence continued to add more eagerness and anxiousness to every living being there.

Until, just when August was about to say the coast was clear,

Black's lance, Dead's Scythe, Strength's ogre arm and Chariot's sword and shield...began levitating slowly upwards.

A grin of excitement replaced Frost's usual boredom, "So it continues huh?"

Suddenly, four pillars of light emerged from the ground, bursting through the ceiling of the dome of ice.

The four pillars each illuminated a different colour: Yellow, green, orange and dark purple.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed, "Shiny lights!"

"Such dedication." Wolfheim complemented.

"Here they come." August declared as he saw a single shadow in each one of the pillars of light.

Chariot emerged from the yellow pillar of light in a brand new body and grabbed her sword and shield. Wheels roaring, firm grip on weapons and eyes glowing, Chariot stood up with Mary standing right behind her.

Next Dead Master ran out of green light and grabbed her levitating scythe. Chains floating and skeletons rising, Dead stood up with her two giant skulls behind her.

Strength's new body materialized and she revealed herself from the orange pillar of light, reaching all her ogre arms onto her body. Fist clenching and eyes glaring, Strength stood up with all four of her good as new ogre arms.

Last was Insane Black Rock Shooter. From the rocks and pebbles on the ground, the pillar of dark purple light materialized a new body for Black as she ran out out of the light, reattaching her insane cannon lance back onto her body. Eye flamming and aura radiating, Black stood up with her lance standing in front of Chariot, Dead and Strength.

The four glared. If looks could kill then August and the other criminals would've been wiped out of existence.

"Frost." August called.

Getting overexcited, Frost looked at August, "Y-yes?"

"Those four are too dangerous when together...separate them." August ordered.

Frost smirked evilly, "With pleasure."

Frost sprinted forward holding a ball of ice, he threw the ball of ice high into the air and shouted, "Hagelsprung!"

In an instant, the ball of ice turned into a piece of gigantic hail and it threw itself at Black and the other three.

The four reacted by splitting into four different directions as the gigantic hail crashed into the ground.

Frost placed his palm on the ground and instantly, four giant walls of ice appeared splitting the dome of ice into four different section.

In one section, Chariot and Mary looked at the giant wall of ice that separated her from the others.

Chariot turned around and faced Dr Frost.

The battle hadn't begun yet adrenaline was building up every second inside Frost's heart, "Shall we begin?"

The girl didn't respond with word but with action. With wheels as legs and a giant spider creature behind her, Chariot charged at Frost.

In another section, Dead Master was facing Debra Stalker with her two giant skulls behind her.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Those are some big toys! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed.

Dead Master twirled her scythe and then pointed at Debra with her scythe ordering her Giant skulls to charged at Debra.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"I must say, you've got dedication." Wolfheim admitted looking at Strength.

"All four of you have such strong desires to protect your sisters that you won't even let death stand in your way." Wolfheim complemented, Strength was surprised to see another emotion besides anger on the old criminal's face: sadness, "It must be nice, having someone who cares about you."

"I love Yuu with all my heart." Strength replied as she remembered Wolfheim hurting Yuu, "someone like you will never fully understand that."

"You're right," Wolfheim said as he transformed into a Beringel, "I don't."

"You really aren't holding back." August said in a calm tone, "Doing everything in your power to kill me."

Unfazed by his words, Black threw her lance into the air and fired.

A barrage of bullets rained down on August's armour. Within the helmet that hid August's face, a small genuine smile appeared, "In that case i won't hold back either."

August sprinted head on towards Black, his demonic sword in hand.

Black reached her lance to her body and swung it which-

Chariot block with her shield.

Dr Frost fired five more flying ice arrows this time aiming at Chariot's wheels.

Chariot zoomed side to side as fast as a racecar and charged forward.

As she charged, Chariot threw her shield at Frost with incredible force.

Frost summoned an mini ice wall blocking the shield.

However, it turns out the shield was just a distraction as Chariot was now right next to Frost.

The girl swung her sword directly at Frost head but-

Debra manage to evade by moving to the side.

Dead Master swung her scythe again not wasting a single second but Debra did a front slip over her scythe and sliced Dead's cheek.

A chain wrapped around Debra's neck.

Dead grabbed the end of the chain lifted Debra into the air.

She began spinning Debra round and round gathering momentum.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Debra exclaimed in joy as though she was on roller coaster.

After three rounds of spinning, Dead threw-

Wolfheim across the field causing him to crash into the wall of the dome wall of ice.

Strength and Wolfheim had managed to reached the edge of the dome of ice.

Wolfheim swiftly changed into a lancer and flew upwards, barely invading Strength's second attack that came his way.

In the air, Wolfheim changed into a Geist. Using the debris of ice everywhere, the geist created a giant body of ice.

He fell from the sky, throwing his giant ice fist at Strenght.

Instead of evading, Strength jumped towards Wolfheim and pulled back her first and third ogre arm.

With Wolfheim falling towards Strength while Strength was jumping towards Wolfheim, they both delivered their punches at the same time causing their giant fist to-

clash with a loud clang!

The force applied to their swords was so great, a small crater appeared beneath Black's and August's feet.

The two pushed their sword against each other.

With her metallic arm still holding her sword, Black swung her lance hitting August's side tearing off a small piece of armor.

August jumped back and swung his sword firing a wave of purple energy in Black's direction.

Black manage to block with her lance but she didn't escape unscathed as a deep cut appeared on her legs and cheek.

While Black's injuries did regenerated rapidly, Black still hasn't been able to crack through August's armour.

Black's lance detached itself from her body and Black sprinted towards August.

August swung his sword three more times firing three small waves of dark energy at Black.

Black went side to side evading every attack, when she got close enough, she threw her lance at August's face.

August raised his sword and deflected the heavy weapon however the knockback he received left him wide open.

Clenching her fist, Black sprinted until she was standing right in front of August and punched him sending him flying across the field.

August crashed into the wall of the dome of ice leaving a huge crack.

They were at the edge of the dome.

Black sprinted at August, picking up her sword and reaching her lance to her body on the way.

Black jumped an incredible height towards August, swinging her massive lance.

With reflexes faster than a tiger's, August raised his arm and blocked Black's lance with just his armoured hand.

The lance successfully managed to pierce August's armour, drawing a bit of blood.

August swiftly picked up his sword with his right hand and sliced Black leaving a deep, diagonal wound across Black's stomach.

Despite the damage Black dealt to his left arm, August pulled it back and punched Black right in the face sending her back.

Black's legs slided across the ground, stabbing her balance.

Black looked up and saw that August was right above her.

Black raised her sword just in time to block August's demonic sword.

The armoured criminal unexpectedly kicked Black in the stomach

Her then picked up Black by her twintail and threw her towards the wall of the dome of ice.

Black crashed into the wall of the dome of ice leaving a large crack on it.

Black quickly picked herself up and bent her dislocated leg back into back with her mechanical arm which was followed by a loud bone cracking noise.

The girl looked up and saw August walking towards her, a dark purple aura surrounding him.

Unfazed by mere looks, Black raised her lance. Gun turrets appeared on her lance and she fired a barrage of-

icicles at Chariot.

Chariot ignored them as she had her shield was in front of her as she charged at Frost.

Frost touched the ground and a wall of ice appeared in front of him.

Not slowing down, Chariot pulled back and smashed through the wall, shattering it like glass.

However Frost had already predicted that movement as he was now right above Chariot, an icy whirlwind carrying him.

But before Frost could stike Chariot's crown, Mary intercepted by opening it's mouth and firing a barrage of giant macaroons at Frost.

Frost turned and swung his arm and an icy blizzard pushed them back, turning every giant macaroon into ice.

The crowned girl jumped and swung her sword at the cold criminal.

Frost responded by clicking his fingers. An ice soldier holding a large ice shield materialized out of nothing and blocked Chariot's sword.

Chariot pulled back her shield and crushed the soldier into pieces.

Frost landed back on the ground and swung his arm firing three spikes of ice at Chariot.

Chariot swung her sword slicing two spikes and then swung her sharp wheel slicing the last one.

Mary assisted Chariot who was still in mid air. Chariot landed in the driver's seat and stirred the giant spider like creature towards Frost.

The ice criminal pulled back his fist and punched it forward. Suddenly, a giant, flying, ice fist appeared out of nowhere and threw itself at Mary and Chariot.

Chariot stirred right and Mary went right evading the giant fist.

Frost placed his palm on the ground as they got closer and all of a sudden, five giant ice spike shot out from the ground beneath Mary and impaled the giant spider like creature's legs, head and body in general.

However, Chariot saw it coming as she had already jumped out.

Dr Frost was too slow to react as he looked up and saw Chariot falling towards him with her shield in front of her.

Frost jumped back just in time to avoid Chariot's immense landing.

Chariot landed on her wheels, heer shield still placed in front of her. Without wasting another second, Chariot charged forward and bashed her shield against the criminal sending him flying.

Frost collided against the wall of the dome of ice breaking at least half of his bones.

They were at the edge of the dome.

However it was short-lived as Frost used his ice semblance to heal himself again.

As Chariot charged at him, Frost turned the ground into an ice skating ring.

Chariot lost her balance for a few second and those few seconds were enough to give Frost his chance. He summoned a giant ice fist again and threw it at Chariot.

Chariot was hit at full force by the fist and was sent flying across the field.

After Chariot's rough landing, she struggled to stand up as the floor was now made out of ice

Unexpectedly, Frost summoned a sharp icicle right behind Chariot and the icicle impaled Chariot through her shoulder drawing a fair amount of yellow blood.

Chariot ignored the pain, stood back up and looked.

Frost was at the edge of the dome in their section while Chariot was on the opposite side which wasn't good. During their exchange, Chariot had learned that Frost was more suited for long distance attacks. So the more distance between them, the more Chariot is at a disadvantage.

The smile of adrenaline was still on Frost's face. His face didn't show any form of triumphant though, it only showed fun and excitement.

Frost raised his arm and summoned a swarm of-

chains to attack Debra.

The crazy lunatic did multiple back flips and side steps evading every chain.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Dead pointed and her two giant flying skulls obeyed by flying straight at her.

With her creepy smile stuck to her smile, Debra did a front flip over the first skull and stepped to the side avoiding the second skull.

Dead came in third and she swung her scythe swiftly, swinging it multiple times.

Debra moved side to side evading before swing her daggers landing multiple cuts on Dead's cheek, legs and shoulder.

Suddenly, Dead Master's wing that was on her back moved and attacked Debra successfully stabbing Debra in the stomach with it's sharp end.

Debra didn't even flinch from the pain and instead giggled, "OH! So those wings aren't fake. Preeeeeety! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The crazy psychopath pulled back her dagger and stabbed the left side of Dead's wing.

"Can I keep it?"

Dead Master gritted her teeth and jumped back ordering her giant skulls to attack Debra.

"Oh I love to love to play chasey!" The crazy criminal turned and sprinted in the opposite as the two giant skulls chased her, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The two giant skulls chased Debra with Dead Master right behind them.

10 chains appeared and attacked Debra. Debra sliced 4 chains with her daggers, evaded 5 and jumped over the last one.

One of the giant skulls charged forward and attempted to bashed into her.

Although Debra once again manage to do a backflip over the skull causing the skull to crash into the wall of the dome of ice.

They were at the edge of the dome.

Debra evaded but it left her wide open since she was in mid-air.

Dead Master used this opportunity to jump and swing her scythe landing a cut across Debra's chest. Dead then summoned chains that wrapped around Debra's body.

Dead then threw Debra into the air where one of her giant skulls had a clear shot and bashed into Debra sending her crashing into the ice wall of the dome.

The first giant skull that had collided into the wall of the dome earlier picked itself up. Her two giant skulls floated by Dead's side as Dead slowly walked towards Debra to finish the final blow.

"Aww, you tagged me."

Dead stopped and looked as Debra stood back up. The lunatic's face showed no pain and only showed madness.

"Now it's my turn to tag you."

Like lightning, Debra threw one of her daggers and it hit Dead's forehead.

Dead's two giant skull took the initiative to attack Debra while their master healed.

The first giant skull went ahead and attack Debra which she reacted by jumping to the side ot dodge.

Dead Master grabbed the dagger that was thrown into her forehead and pulled it out without hesitation.

Almost instantly, Debra pulled another dagger from under her sleeve and threw it, hitting Dead in the shoulder.

The first giant skull did a u-turn and charged at Debra from the left. The second giant flew towards at Debra at full force from the right.

Debra...just giggled.

She bent her knees and somehow jumped an incredible height right at the last second causing the two giant skulls to collide into each other, therefore destroying into each other.

Dead Master grabbed the dagger that was thrown into her shoulder and pulled it out without hesitation.

Almost instantly, Debra pulled out yet another dagger from under her sleeve and threw it, hitting Dead's other shoulder.

Not wasting anymore seconds, Debra pulled out another dagger, sprinted until she was standing right in front of Dead and stabbed both of her two daggers into both of Dead Master's head...again.

Debra's eyes went wide as they began to glow and immediately, Dead knew what Debra was doing: Debra was invading Dead Master's mind again.

The horned girl could slowly feel her body becoming more and more paralyzed as Debra invaded her mind.

Fighting back, Dead slowly raised her arm and grabbed Debra's shoulder... hard. Despite how hard her grip was, Debra simply titled her head in curiosity.

Debra was holding Dead tight, pushing her daggers deeper and deeper into Dead's head. Ignoring the pain, Dead gathered all the power she could and pushed-

against Strength's ogre arms.

With her two extra ogre arms, Strength picked up Wolfheim by the shoulders and threw him.

But before he could crash into the wall again, Wolfheim transformed from a Beringel into a Gesit preventing his crash landing.

He then changed into a Nevermore and flew towards Strength.

As he got close, Wolfheim transformed into a Death Stalker and threw his stinger at Strenght.

Strength stood her ground and caught the giant stinger with two of her ogre arms. She pulled back her other two ogre arms.

Wolfheim slipped out of Strength's by quickly transforming into a seer and levitated above her.

He transformed into an Ursa and attempted to crush Strength. The girl dodged.

He transformed into an Beowolf and swipe his claws. Strength blocked.

He transformed into a Creep and charged at her like a bull. The orange eyed girl swung her arm forcing the criminal back.

He transformed into a Boarbatusk and charged again. Strength moved to the side to evade.

He transformed into a Lancer and fired his harpoon like stinger at her. The girl deflected it with her arm.

Finally, Wolfheim transformed back into a Beringel.

He threw his large arms at Strenght grabbing two of her ogre arm with each arm.

It was a gamble.

During their battles, Wolfheim quickly understood where Strenght got her name. Beating her in pure vigor was a huge risk but so far Wolfheim's Beringel form had been able to match up to Strength's power.

When all his might, Wolfheim clenched his fist tighter and tighter until he heard the sound of Strength's Ogre arms breaking.

But then, Strength made a move that Wolfheim had not predicted.

Strength's tail moved. Strength used her mechanical tail and stabbed it into Wolfheim's chest. Her tail was surprisingly strong and pierced Wolfheim's Beringel body like it was dough.

This caused Wolfheim to let go giving Strenght her opening.

Strength pulled back all four of ogre arms and released a barrage of punches, each hitting wolfheim at full force.

After the 20th punch, Strength punched Wolfheim one last time sending him flying across the field.

Wolfheim crashed into the wall of the dome of ice leaving a massive crack on the wall.

Without even checking to see if he was down for the count, Strenght aimed all four of her ogre arms which had already transformed into gatling guns and rapidly fired hundreds and hundreds of bullets per second.

Bullets flied everywhere near Wolfheim's position for a good minutes before she had to stopped and empty the thousands of empty bullets onto the floor. There was steam coming from her arms as while they had an infinite amount of bullets, it still needed just a few seconds to cool down.

Strengths attack had created a lot of smoke therefore blocking Strength's view on Wolfheim .

When the smoke cleared, Wolfheim was nowhere to be seen.

The ogre arm user looked around in alarmed searching for him.

Then she sensed a presence...falling towards her.

Strength looked up and saw Wolfheim as a giant ice giant falling towards her.

Before she could do anything, Wolfheim crushed her under his feet.

He then transformed into a Beowolf, swiped his claw and landed a deep cut on Strength's shoulders.

He transformed into a Nuckelavee and galloped on Strength, stomping her in multiple body parts.

As a finally, he transformed back into a Beringel and punched Strength right in the stomach sending her crashing into the wall of the dome of ice leaving a huge crack.

Despite the few broken bones, her regeneration was still good as ever as Strength quickly picked herself up.

Wolfheim transformed into a Nevermore and threw large, black, spear-like feather quills at Strength.

Strength run to right to avoid the feather quills being thrown at her. She was surprisingly fast despite carrying four heavy weapons.

Strength did a duck and roll to evade a few more quills before she aimed her arms at the Nevermore.

Strength's arms turned into machine guns and she rapidly fired a barrage of-

purple bullets at August.

So far, the last few minutes were just spent on Black firing bullet at August.

No matter how much Black fired, her bullets failed to even phaze August's armour.

August on the other hand just stood there observing Black's movement.

Within his helmet, August narrowed his eyes, "She's planning something. She should be well aware by now that her bullets don't affect my armour yet she keeps firing. No matter, I shall take you head on."

August swung his sword firing a wave of dark energy at her before sprinting straight at her.

Black stopped firing and deflected the wave with her lance although she received a lot of knockback from that one almost making Black lose her balance.

By then, August was already in front of her.

Black pulled out her blade to block when suddenly, August grabbed the end of her blade with his left arm...and crushed it into pieces with nothing but just his hand.

He then pulled back his sword and jabbed it right through Black's chest. With sword impaled through her chest, Black coughed out purple blood with purple blood also oozing out of her chest where the sword was impaling her.

At first Black went limp for a couple of seconds before suddenly twitching. With a shaky and twitchy hand, Black slowly lifted her arm and placed her hand on August's sword that was impaled through her chest.

It was quite an phenomenon for August to see this. Wondering how Black was alive, August asked, "Just what are you?"

Suddenly, August stopped as he sensed something.

He looked and his eyes widened as he saw a black figure standing at the other side of the dome of ice. What made it worst was that the figure was standing right in front of one of the cracks made by Black earlier.

Black had lured August to the edge of the dome of ice and know he knew why.

Mato aimed her black cannon and fired shattering the ice that separated them with a loud boom!

Mato charged in towards August.

August attempted to pull her sword out of Black and swing it at Mato but a strong tug told him otherwise.

August looked back at Black and just looked in amazement as Black had both her hands holding August's sword in place. In other words Black was making sure that August's sword stayed impaled through her chest.

"So that was your plan. I have to admit, that's clever. But an execution like that would've required a lot of communication in order to achieve that timing. How did they-"

Mato reached where August was standing and without hesitation, she pulled back her cannon and striked.

As Frost summoned more ice soldiers and spikes to attack Chariot, he sensed a someone right behind him.

He turned and saw right in front of him, a figure standing on the other side of the dome of ice.

Frost instantly knew who it was, "You..."

Kagari pulled back her robotic legs and kicked the ice smashing it.

Before Frost could replace the shattered ice, Kagari entered the dome and sprinted at Frost.

From a distance, Chariot's wheels roared. Since her wheels were sharp, they acted just like ice skates.

She charged forward either ignoring or slicing every ice soldier that got in her way for the only thing Chariot cared about was Kagari.

"OOOOH! IS MY PET BACK TO PLAY!? AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra said as she let go of Dead and looked.

Yomi pulled back her scythe and smashed through the cracks in the dome of ice that Dead and Debra made earlier.

Immediately, Debra's eyes began to glow and Yomi felt Debra invade her mind again.

However Debra didn't get far before Dead wrapped a chain around her neck and lifted her into the air before smashing her onto the ground.

Dead was going to do it again when suddenly Debra pulled out two more daggers and sliced the chains.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT FELT GOOOOD! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"I should've known you would have something plan like this." Wolfheim said as Yuu smashed through the dome of ice with her ogre arms.

Yuu jumped and threw her ogre arm at Wolfheim.

The nevermore was already getting angry from just looking at Yuu.

Wolfheim transformed from Nevermore to a Beringel and attempted to punch her before she could.

But then Strength grabbed Wolfheim's shoulder, pulled him back and punched him in the back.

Yuu reached where Wolfheim was standing and smashed-

her cannon on August's head.

Black swung her swung tearing a chunk of armour from his chest.

Mato aimed her cannon and fired three shots.

August didn't do anything to deflect or evade those shots as they couldn't phaze his armour.

However turns out it was acting as a smoke screen as smoke blurred his vision.

Suddenly, August sensed something and turned around only to see Mato and Black.

Black and Mato both jumped at August, Mato swung her cannon while Black swung her lance at the same time hitting-

Frost right in the chest and head.

Frost quickly summoned an ice wall and quickly healed himself.

Kagari and Chariot ran around the ice wall in under 2 seconds and they both charged at Frost, one from the left, one from the right.

Seeing Chariot as a bigger threat, Dr Frost sent an icy blizzard to attack Chariot.

Dr Frost suddenly felt someone grab her shoulder.

He turned to look at Kagari.

Kagari pulled back her gloved fist and-

punched Debra right in the face.

Debra did a few back flips away Dead Master.

Yomi appeared from behind Debra and sent chains to contain her.

Debra turned to look at Yomi, she sliced three chains with her daggers before sprinting at Yomi avoiding all of the chains.

For a short moment, Yomi panicked.

Dead Master's wing suddenly moved again and backstabbed Debra causing her to trip.

Yomi's chain wrapped around Debra's legs, arms and neck and lifted her into the air.

Dead Master then jumped until she was right above Debra.

She twirled her scythe and-

punched Wolfheim right in the stomach causing him to crash land back onto the ground.

Wolfheim quickly transformed into a Lancer to avoid Yuu's next attack.

He then transformed into a King Taijitu with both the white snake and the black snake head active.

Wolfheim attempted bite both Yuu and Strength.

But both Yuu and Strength manage to catch the snake's fangs with just one arm.

Yuu pulled back her second ogre arm and punched the white snake head.

Strength pulled back her second and third ogre arm and-

smashed her lance on the back of August's head.

August clenched his fist and thew his left fist but Black jumped back to avoid.

Mato sprinted at August from behind with her blade.

"It's going to take a lot more than this to stop me."

August turned around and knocked Mato's sword out of her hand. He then punched Mato right in the stomach.

August felt Black's presence right behind him. Hardening the grip on his sword, August turned around and sliced Black's stomach.

He was about to attack Black again when suddenly Mato grabbed his shoulder.

Mato ignored the pain, clenched her fist and-

kicked Frost right in the face with mechanical leg.

Frost jumped back and looked at Kagari and Chariot who was charging him.

A expression of...motivation and excitement appeared on Frost's face, "YES! YES! LET US FIGHT TILL ONE OF US DROPS DEAD!"

Frost swung his arm firing an icy whirlwind from below.

The whirlwind froze Kagari's robotic legs and Chariot's wheels until they were just ice.

Kagari's robotic legs and Chariot's wheels then shattered into pieces.

With that, Dr Frost proceeded to deliver his final blow.

He raised his hand and yelled-

"IT'S BEEN FUN PLAYING WITH YOU TWO!"

Debra sliced both Dead MAster's and Yomi's chest with her daggers.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Debra began slicing her daggers rapidly, leaving cuts in Dead's and Yomi's legs, arms and face.

As a finally, Debra stabbed one dagger deep into Dead's shoulder and stabbed on dagger deep into Yomi's shoulder.

Yomi cried in pain while Dead gritted her teeth.

At first, time seemed to slow down as they both slowly fell towards the ground.

But then Dead Master forced herself to stand back up and swing her scythe at Debra.

Debra did a backflip to evade.

Dead Master quickly grabbed Yomi before she fell.

They both looked at each other. Yomi was so scared that it hurt Dead Master.

Dead softly smiled, "I'll protect you. I've always have."

They both nodded at each other before sprinting in Debra's direction.

Yomi and Dead both summoned chains to attack Debra which-

Wolfheim avoided by transforming into a nevermore and flying up.

Strength continued the barrage of bullets as Yuu chased Wolfheim around the dome.

Wolfheim fired two large spear like quills at Strength destroying two of her machine guns before turning around to face Yuu.

He transformed from a Nevermore into a Beringel and fell towards Yuu throwing his fist.

Yuu pulled back her fist and waited.

At first Wolfheim wondered why she waited until a few gunshots to his chest was heard.

Wolfheim looked and saw Strength aiming her other two machine guns at him. After seeing Strength's twin sister holding only two ogre arms, Wolfheim had completely forgotten that Strength had four ogre arms.

"Guess I really am getting too old for this."

Yuu threw both of her fist and began punching Wolfheim rapidly hitting him in the chest, arms, legs and face at least 5 times each.

Wolfheim slowly fell, transforming back into his human form. Wolfheim's human form didn't seemed injured at all.

Which is why Strength went straight in repeating the exact same process that Yuu just did but this time she punched him in the arms, legs and face at least 10 times each and two times faster.

To finish it off, Strength threw one last powerful punch to his chest sending him crashing into the wall of the dome of ice.

Wolfheim coughed viciously before slowly falling to the ground.

Debra was literally running backwards...as Dead and Yomi chased after her.

The pair summoned more chains but Debra did more backflips and slicing with her daggers.

Debra suddenly pulled back her dagger and threw it at Dead as fast as a bullet.

But just as fast as a bullet travels, Dead lifted her scythe and deflected the dagger.

Debra threw her other dagger which again Dead deflected.

Yomi summoned a chain and the chain successfully wrapped around Debra' leg. Yomi pulled and Debra tripped.

Dead sprinted forward and swung her scythe horizontally at Debra.

Debra reached for a dagger from under her sleeve.

Yomi intercepted and summoned another chain to wrap around Debra's arm preventing her from pulling out a dagger. Dead's wing also moved again and stabbed Debra in the chest.

With Debra wide open, Dead Master striked with her weapon.

She swung her scythe chopping off both of Debra's legs off.

Yomi had to look away as Dead pulled back her fist delivering a final punch to Debra's face.

With the creepy smile still on her face, Debra laughed, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..."

Debra went dead silent as she slowly fell to the ground.

"Grauhorn!"

From thin air, a giant horn of ice appeared and it aimed directly at Chariot and Kagari who currently still didn't have any legs or wheels and was still falling.

Time seemed to have slowed down for the girls.

Kagari had never been this close to death before in her life. Here she was, with no legs and a giant horn of ice ready to impale her.

Yet...Kagari had faith. The girl looked over to her otherself, "Were going to win...right?"

Chariot couldn't help but smile. Her smile was like a blue moon to Kagari.

"Yes...trust me."

A yellow aura appeared around both of them. Suddenly, wires, bolts, gears, Gears, axles, brakes, cogs and bits of yellow metal appeared out of nothing and began hastily combining into a new set of legs and wheels.

In less than a second...Kagari had a new pair of legs and Chariot had a new pair of wheels.

"This is the end!" Frost pointed and the giant horn of ice threw itself at Kagari and Chariot.

The two girls reacted by dashing to the sides as fast as they could. The made it just in time to evade the giant horn of ice crashing onto the ground.

Frost's eyes widened. He used up most of his energy for that one attack.

With that, Kagari and Chariot charged at Frost.

Despite his predicament, Frost's excitement grew and grew, "COME AT ME!"

Bringing out every bit of power he had left and fighting through his fatigue, Frost fired a barrage of icicles at them along with a large blizzard.

Kagari and Chariot ignored them and the blizzard and kept charging, their shields in front of them.

A huge whirlwind gathered in Frost's arm, "Weisssch-"

Sacrificing their last bit of protection, Kagari and Chariot threw their shields hitting both of Frost's legs breaking them.

While flung her arms in front of her to shield herself from the blizzard, Chariot charged forward.

As a last resort, Frost summoned a floating ice shield and threw it at her at full force.

Chariot was racing so fast that she smashed straight through that ice shield like it was glass and swung her sharp wheel slicing off Frost's right arm.

To finish it, Chariot swung her sword chopping of Frost's left leg.

The blizzard ceased and Frost slowly fell to the ground.

August was forced into a defence position as both Mato and Black were throwing attacks at him left and right.

August swung his sword firing a wave of dark energy but Mato jumped over it while Black deflected it. They both pulled back their fist and punched August at the same time sending him crashing into the ice wall.

The criminal quickly picked himself up as Mato and Black were sprinting at him.

August swung his sword three times firing three huge waves of dark energy...and all three of them were aimed at Mato.

Mato manage to evade the fist one by jumping but the last two seemed destined to hit her.

Just when Mato thought it was over for her, Black pulled Mato out of the way and took the blow for.

Purple blood splattered in front of Mato's eyes.

"BLACK!"

The sound of her name gave Black enough energy to suddenly move, she grabbed Mato and threw her in August's direction.

Mato flew towards August swinging her cannon.

Before August could react, Mato bashed her cannon onto August's head destroying her cannon in the process.

August stepped back as Mato landed on the ground.

Not wasting another second, Mato sprinted forward with her blade.

August raises his arm, "Draining Mist!"

Suddenly a dark purple mist engulfed Mato and her power fell drastically.

August however gasped when he saw Mato fighting the mist and her fatigue with all her might.

Mato sprinted at August.

As a last resort, August rapidly gathered huge amounts of dark energy, "Destructive-"

"Character summon!" Mato yelled with all her might as a blue light engulfed her, clearing the purple mist.

August looked at the blue light, "I won't make it!"

"BLACK ROCK SHOOTER!"

Suddenly a clone of Black Rock Shooter in her original form appeared out no where and zoomed past August, slicing him with her blade.

Everything went silent.

The only thing that was heard was the flamming blue eye that began to ignite.

"I...lost."

The clone of Black disappeared. Half of August's helmet crumbled into pieces as August slowly fell to the ground.

The dome of ice disappeared.

Everything related to ice disappeared.

The calm wind began to whistle and the rustling of trees was heard.

Mato stood there panting for breath. It was then, the fatigue finally got to her as she fell towards the ground.

Black caught her before she hit the ground.

Mato had fainted.

Black looked at Mato, then at August...and then at Miku.

Miku was standing there, smiling as she usually does. Black and Miku just stared at each other, not saying a word.

Then, as though they understood each other, the Vocaloid walked up to Black and carried Mato by the shoulder.

Black looked at Miku and signalled with her head telling Miku to go on first and that she'll follow.

Miku had no objection as she turned and began walking towards where Beacon was.

"Yuu." Strength called after a few minutes of rest.

"Yes?" Yuu asked looking up at Strenght.

"Go on without me and catch up with Mato and Miku."

"How about you?" Yomi asked a bit worried.

"Don't worry," Dead Master assured.

Dead Master patted Yomi on the head avoiding her horns, "I'll catch up to you."

"There's just something I need to finish." Chariot explained.

Kagari wasn't so sure. But she was currently tired and the last thing she wanted now was an argument.

"Okay." In a way, Kagari had a idea on what Chariot was going to do but the thought send shivers down her spine so she went with it.

After Kagari had gone, Chariot brought her attention to Frost who was laying on the ground with only one arm and leg.

There was no way Chariot was going to do this with Kagari watching which is why she asked Kagari to leave fist.

Chariot picked up her sword and approached Dr Frost.

Dr Frost coughed viciously, blood spilling from his mouth and wounds.

"So this is it for me huh?"

Chariot was silent.

"It's been a while since I've had that much fun. I was always focused on getting stronger and stronger in order to surpass my sister that when I reached the top, life became so dull for me." Frost chuckled but it wasn't the evil type of chuckle, "My sister would've loved to meet you. She always loved to use the sword and shield..."

(FLASHBACK)

"Life is full of surprises. Whatever there's a downside, there's always a way up! Frost, You only get one chance to live in this world. So no matter what happens, live your life to it's fullest okay?

(FLASHBACK ENDS)

Frost slowly looked at Chariot, he looked glad, "Dying like this...knowing that I used my power to it's full potential...it's not so bad after all...thank you."

Chariot's expression didn't change.

Without saying a single word, Chariot raised her sword and just like that...Dr Frost was finished.

"Ha...ha...ha...haha...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Debra laughed as she laid there on the ground with no legs.

Dead Master slowly walked towards her.

With Yomi gone, there was no need to hesitate.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Ha...ha...ha...ha..." Debra's psychotic laugh slowly turned into soft giggles.

Dead stood there, looking down at Debra. She raised her scythe and brought it down on Debra's neck.

Right at the last second, Debra looked at Dead and smiled. It wasn't her usual creepy smile, it was a genuine smile of happiness, "It was fun playing with you, friend."

Those were Debra's last words.

"Why did you turn out this way?" Strenght asked out of curiosity.

Wolfheim looked up at the sky, "I guess I have my temper to blame for that. The smallest things could drive my anger. In fact I think that was the first battle I had where I didn't lose my temper. I was always so violent when I got angry so I don't blame my family for leaving me. But those three were different," Wolfheim said referring to August, Debra and Frost, "No matter how much I got mad at them, they never left me alone...Honestly, they were the closest thing I had to family."

Strength looked at Wolfheim's dying figure, "I'm sorry."

"Don't be." Wolfheim assured with a week chuckle, "Those three had it coming and me...well I was getting too old anyway. In fact, you would be doing me a great favour if you finished me right here and now."

The old criminal began cough viciously, coughing out blood. Strength walked towards Wolfheim slowly ready to deliver the final blow.

The old man was going to die either way.

"Strenght." Wolfheim repeated the girl's name. "I'll remember you."

With that, Wolfheim drew his last breath.

With Mato gone, Black reatacthed her lance and drag it across it the ground.

She stopped until she was right in front of August.

She looked down on the man. Half of his armour had been teared off revealing bloody wounds and cuts.

Half of his helmet was gone revealing, short black hair and dark brown eyes.

"You knew didn't you?" August suddenly spoke.

Black remained silent but August got his answer, "Figures. That ability only works on those who actually believe that I have a semblance."

August looked up at Black, "You knew about my fake semblance and your power is way beyond mine. Yet you still didn't hold back."

Black didn't say a word. She raised her lance and aimed it at August's head.

However August still got the reply he wanted.

The armoured criminal smiled, "I see...so this is what it feels like...to be treated as an equal."

With that, Black finished August with her lance.

Silence.

Nothing but the wind blowing by was heard.

Black looked down on the the criminal's body as the footsteps of Dead, Chariot and Strength were heard behind her.

All four of the criminals hurt their otherselves, so Black and the other three did what they needed to do.

Mato's happiness was all Black needed.

August was dead...but there was still one more person who threatened Mato's safety.

Insane Black Rock Shooter stood up, turned around, raised her lance and aimed it at Dead Master.

Dead Master raised her scythe and got ready for battle.

However before things could get too far, Strenght stood between them, her right machine pointed at Black and her left machine gun pointed at Dead Master.

Chariot raised her sword and pointed it at Strength's neck threatening to behead her.

There was a short moment of dreadful silence before Strenght spoke.

"Our otherselves experienced a lot today. Unless were there for them, they'll be traumatised for years. We all agreed on a temporary truce...let us keep that truce for a little longer."

With that, all four of them dropped their weapons. The death glares didn't stop however.

Holding the Colourless Crystal, Strength picked up the Alleviating Flower.

No words were spoken.

No eye contact was made.

Any form of communication was void.

After a moment of silence, all four of them headed back to Beacon.

In a another foreign land, a hooded figure walks in the shadows of the night.

The hooded figure kept walking and hiding until she reached a huge mansion filled with riches and rich people celebrating.

The hooded figure looked up at the mansion and took a deep breath, "Today's the day."

6. Debra's past. Debra's parents were part of a cult called the "Enthusiasts". A group of people who enjoyed to see the smiles of children before torturing them. Debra Stalker, her family lived up to their surname as stalking was one of their specialties. Debra's parents took pride and joy in torturing their own daughter. They would bring Debra to the circus and buy Debra "Pets" to make her happy before submitting her to their best torturing techniques without killing her. Eventually, Debra was driven into madness to a point where she just laughed when being tortured making her a crazy masochist. Her semblance was unlocked when she was driven into madness, allowing her to control and drive other people to insanity. Her semblance also allows her to enjoy pain and survive it. Eventually, Debra's parents disowned her shortly after Debra went mad and Debra was responsible for murdering every "Enthusiasts" member therefore ending the cult.

7. Dr Frost's past. The only family Frost had was her older sister. Frost's older sister was a strong warrior but despite that, the two of them were very poor and lived in the snowy desert where it was always cold. Although they didn't really care, as long as they had each other, they were fine. Frost's dream was to one day surpass her sister and her sister was more than happy to train him. One day, they were raided by bandits and Frost's older sister, while she did fight back in order to protect Frost, was murdered in front of Frost's eyes. The bandits spared Frost for unknown reason. His semblance was activated when he was abandoned in the snow by the bandits. Frost called himself doctor Frost right after he discovered that he could heal wounds with his ice semblance.

8. Wolfheim's past. Wolfheim lived in a village far from civilisation. It's where he and his entire grew up. But thanks to the ambitions of other family members, they moved out of the village one by one in hopes of finding a better future. Eventually none of Wolfheim's family was left. There were few who stayed to take care of Wolfheim since he was an elderly but his temper drove them to abandon him until there was no family left to take care of him. One day, the feeling of isolation from family finally got to Wolfheim and his negative emotions attracted grim to his villager. The villagers were all slaughtered in front of him and that's when his semblance activated where he turned into a creature of grimm himself. At first Wolfheim was confused but he eventually mastered his semblance to a point where he could transform into any species of grim. The first species of grimm Wolfheim turned into was a Beringel.

9. August's past. From the date of his birth to his death, August never unlocked his semblance. Being born into a family of strong warriors, he was always looked down on because he never had his semblance. He always wanted to become a huntsman not only to help other people but to also prove his parents wrong. However, his family never allowed him to go to combat school or do any test to prove himself because he never had a semblance, saying things like, "August will probally fail anyway, it's a waste of money." August grew up with no friends or anyone to care for him, he was constantly bullied for his weakness. Wanting to prove everyone wrong, he lied. August got his hands on some fake transcripts and entered Beacon Academy as a student even though he never earned his spot at the academy (Sound like someone you know?). However, he was bullied at home and he was also bullied at Beacon. Some bullies discovered August's secret and used it to blackmail him, August strongly refused to do what the bullies told him to do so the bullies revealed August's secret and August was expelled from Beacon. Since his parents were people who always expected great things from their sons, they disowned August right after August got expelled. Later on he found "The Armour of Deceiving", the concept of the armour is simple, those who believe false facts have their energy drained. So what August would do is that he would go tell everyone that he had a semblance, those who believed that August actually did have a semblance would have their energy drained which is why it didn't work on Black Rock Shooter because she knew it wasn't true. THe reason why August smiled when fighting Black was because Black was the very first person to actually treat August as an equal as all of August's other opponents always underestimated and mocked him.

10. The waves of dark purple energy that August fired at Mato and Black were purely drained energy that he stole from other huntsmen and huntresses who have stood in August's way. All of the energy that August drains from other people are kept inside his demonic sword.

11. It is still unknown how these four met each other. While they seem to be hostile towards each other, they were forming some sort of relationship. Wolfheim describe that relationship as "Family". There is a theory that August was the one who brought Wolfheim, Debra and Frost together since he's the leader among the four but it still hasn't been confirmed. Ever since the four of them formed, they would steal valuable items and goods and killed anyone who tried to stop them.

12. Debra kept multiple daggers hidden in pretty much every part of her body that is covered by clothing: Under her sleeve, legs, hips and jeans for example.

13. Wolfheim was actually at an disadvantage when fighting in the underground caves. He is more suited for open areas while August is more suited for underground caves. The only reason why August ordered wolfheim to the underground caves to collect the Colourless Crystal was because August himself wanted the Alleviating Flower. The rumor was that the Alleviating Flower could automatically unlock anyone's semblance which is why August wanted it.

14. It was mentioned once by Frost that stealing the Flower and the Crystal was going to be their last mission and that they were stop being criminals afterwards. The reason why and whether Dr Frost was speaking the truth or not remains unknown as Debra, Frost, Wolfheim and August were killed after Frost made this statement.
