Trouble ensues, as Beth Nevins was on the ropes, in the arena of Skeleton Heel's Stone Circle. Elsa of the Jewel Women used her experienced intellect and lack of eyesight to fire off Beth Nevins, off of her vampire steed. Elsa is about to go for the kill, as Beth is doomed, about to be either crushed by Elsa's chariot, about by Elsa's Divine Windstorm. But Beth has her crossbow loaded up and ready. But will it be too late?

Episode XIX: Choujin Pride! (Part 1)
Chapter 3: The True Warrior, Elsa!
Warrior of the Winds!

Elsa threw the crossbow out, as she said, "I was examining the terrain, while circling. I have to find a proper wall placement to use, as a weapon."

Beth was struggling to get up, and moaned, "Grrr… Can't… breathe…"

Anya said, "The ball did not break Beth's momentum, so it didn't pierce her skin. Thick skin for a small body. But at least she's spitting up a lot of blood. Good enough."

Anya cried, "Finish her now, Elsa! But remember, be on your guard! Wild tricks are this whelp's specialty!"

Elsa asked, "Has she set another trap?"

Beth moaned, as she held her crossbow, "As I hit the ground… the impact cocked the crossbow… I can't let her know that…"

She knew that she can't kill her, from this distance. The horses went closer, as Beth sat up, about to fire. Elsa sensed it and cried out, "SHE DID!"

She fired, but her aim was off. She dropped her crossbow into the flames. Elsa called out, as the crowd laughs at her, "It's over, Nevins!"

Beth slinked back, "NO! Don't come any closer!"

Elsa said, "You're slinking away? What are you going to do, next?"

Beth smirked, "Ya wanna bet? I just can't take it!"

"SHAMEFUL!" Elsa roared, "You're a coward! Die in honor!"

Beth said, "And you listen to me, Elsa of Emerald! Here's the next thing that'll come out of your mouth: Don't you DARE dishonor our battle here, Nevins!"

Elsa laughed, "Nice try! I know that scheme of yours! Don't you dare dishonor our battle here, Nevins!"

She gasped, realizing she just said it. Beth said, "Actually, you were about to say it, after a random bluff. That doesn't work~!"

She threw rocks at her, and laughed, "HERE! HAVE SOME PEBBLES! WANT SOME MORE?"

The vampires laughed, as Beth was throwing the small pebbles at her. But she said, "Really? Their booing me for this childish way! Well, even without eyesight, a bat would've smashed that into pieces, or just avoid all that! Why can't you avoid them, Elsa?"

SMASH!
The bullet that Beth fired from her crossbow appeared, and pierced into Elsa's back, through her chest, producing a huge hole, made of Ty Ko Ky. Elsa groaned, as she moaned, "You… bastard…"

Beth laughed, "You're pathetic, Elsa! Once again, the human took you down, again! You see, I banked the shot, just like you did, earlier!"

The arena went silent, not a faint cry came out from its hushed atmosphere. Not one individual made a sound. Elsa's chest wound peered out, like an eerie-looking jack-o-lantern. The wound began to fester, as Elsa's damaged arms grew even worse. No more Divine Windstorms… now and forever…

Kagura growled, thinking to herself, "How did she know? Beth Nevins… Elsa knew what she was going to say, and when that happens, it's a win for her… How the heck did she do that?"

Elsa growled, emitting to the pain, as her eyes opened, glowing red. She roared, as Beth breathed again, getting her powers in check. Beth saw that Elsa was about to crash her legs onto her frail body, but…

"OH, USING YOUR LEGS TO CRUSH ME? NOT THIS TIME!" Beth yelled, "My Ty Ko Ky is on repairs, but TASTE THIS!"

Her arms shone yellow and hollered, "REBUFF ESP PERK OVERDRIVE!"

In impact, Beth crushed into Elsa's thighs, breaking the bones inside her. Elsa screams in pain and torture, as she lands on the ground below. She was pinned down, as she coughed, "How… can this be? What has become… of the Great Elsa? The might warrior… …is no more. Twelve thousand years of victory… reduced to this…"

She kneeled up, as her arms had vanished, showing only her upper arms. Beth gasped, "Her arms… Her arms are gone!"

Elsa groaned, "It is not Elsa's way to give up an easy win… My wounds are only to flesh… my losses are a path to redemption… I will use all those things… FOR VICTORY!"

She leaned backwards, and then, her arms shot out of her chest wound, and strangled onto Beth's neck. She fell into the wall, and was suffocating from the grips. Elsa, still on her knees, sprouted her pipes from her sides, and absorbs the wind around her. She cried out, "THE WIND OBEYS ME! THIS IS MY ULTIMATE MASTERY!"

Anya cried, "Ultimate Mastery? She's going to finish the human off with her ultimate technique! NO, ELSA! YOU SHOULDN'T! STOP IT, ELSA! IT MUST NOT BE DONE!"

Elsa called out, as the wind goes into her pipes, "Ultimate Mastery – Gathering Gale! ATMOSPHERIC RIFT!"

She produced a huge beam of razor-sharp sand wind from her horn, piercing towards Beth, like it was a buzzsaw. Beth cried, "That's only wind?!"

Elsa called, "I know you're near the flames. I can sense it; though, I can't see where exactly you are. But I am going to find you, eventually! Now that I have you in my grip, preventing you from using Ty Ko Ky and ESP Perk, I'm going to cut you in half!"

Anya said, "Elsa's going to use her gales to slice the human in pieces… But the Atmospheric Rift is Elsa's supreme final attack. The pipes she used to cloak herself takes huge amounts of air, and then unbelievably compress it. The air is blasted from an orifice, thinner than paper. It's simply a razor made of wind. But it creates heat and friction at levels even terrible for Elsa. Her body cannot handle it. She's falling apart, but she is truly a breathtaking figure. To think that she will avenge Sister Inga, to waste her own life, in the process. Tragic and heroic!"

She called out, "VICTORY IS YOURS, ELSA! TAKE HER LIFE AS THE BALM FOR YOUR WOUNDS!"

Mandy cried out, "BETH! BREAK FREE! SHE'S HEADING CLOSER!"

Beth pulled out a bottle of oil and thought, "Alright, this is it… Her lungs are made of high-pressured oxygen tanks, despite that she's organic from millennia. Those pipes… if I can only hit them… She'd inhale the flaming oil, making an internal explosion!"

She then thought in horror, "If this fails, I'm dead… This is really the very last Ace, up my sleeve…"

She gets singed by the razor winds, as Elsa cried, "FOUND YOU, NEVINS!"

Beth threw the oil, only for it to be sliced in half. The bottle dropped, as Elsa said, "That's your choice? Fool… I can sense you, even without looking, from far away from the fire! YOU'RE OUT OF TRICKS! And that cry of yours gave away your position!"

She prepared her huge burst of wind, "And now… ATMOSPHERIC RIFT!"

Beth croaked, "Kyo… … …"

Kagura smiled, "It's over… Rest in peace, Beth Nevins…"

Beth hollered, as she grabbed her bracelet that she got from Kyo, "KYO SOHMA! LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH! Spirit of the Rabbit – I summon you!"

Her body started to shine, and produced a flaming whip from her right hand, emitting from the Juzu beads that she wore, after Kyo's demise by Kagura. She threw her whip, as Elsa cried, "Another fire attack? I told you, I can sense these things!"

The whip burned away, as Elsa cried out, "And now, I shall cut you in half to claim my victory! FAREWELL!"

She swung down, but Beth's reflexes hopped away, as Kagura gasped. Mandy cried, "NO! BETH!"

Anya yelled, "It can't be! Nevins flew away!"

She was up in the air, as her Rabbit Spirit was floating in the air. While it was considered her favorite animal, it was one of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Though, not a martial art for the Rabbit Style, it is an evasive power. But Beth, still lodged in Elsa's grip, called out, "I don't think you know what you're sensing. You see, that whip was meant for you. You didn't burn it away. I did it for you. Don't you get it? I meant for you to cut the bottle in half, the entire time!"

Elsa said, "Do not deny it! I know about what you did! And even for a human, you have lost!"

Beth said, "And that is why you lost… Your ability to do it so quickly and easily is what led to your downfall."

The oil was turning into vapor, and absorbing it into her pipes. Beth added, "And senses the whip I dissolved. Do you feel it?"

Elsa gasped, "Every little piece of it is still on fire… and they're entering my body!"

Beth said, as she stepped off, "Elsa of the Emerald, you have been a worthy and admirable fighter. But three powerful allies were with me, throughout the contest… Kyo Sohma and Subaru Mikage… were those two of three that tragically died…"

Elsa groaned, and…
KABOOM!
Elsa exploded into a huge fireball, destroying her entire body. The vampires in the crowd were shocked.

"She… She was defeated!"
"Lady Elsa! How could she have lost?"
"It can't be…"
"That mortal just engulfed her…"

Elsa's head was all that remained, as it dropped to the ground. Mandy called out, "BETH! Look out, you have to be careful! She can regenerate! Even after being blown to bits, she will regenerate her body! This fight is not over!"

Beth broke free of Elsa's severed arms. She stood over the head and shook her head NO.

Elsa replied, as she was moaning, "No… … …It is… So, it's finally over now…"

Beth nodded, "It is…"

"You took revenge for Kyo… despite that I only had a hand of his death…"

"I know… When he fell, I sensed that Kagura Sohma, your master, did you?"

"Yes, I did. Then go ahead and finish it…"

Beth prepared to launch her punch, "I WILL!"

POW!
She punched the ground, missing Elsa, completely. She smashed her hand, hitting a small cut on her arm. She poured her own blood onto Elsa's neck, as she gasped, "No… What are you doing?"

Beth explained, "That smoke isn't from the flaming oil… It was from your wounds… The Ty Ko Ky in your arms infected into your entire body, spreading like a disease. The flaming oil had no part of it. You are dissolving. I can only imagine the agony you're now feeling."

She bandaged her hand and continued, "I can't prevent you from dying now, but there's this… This is human blood from my hand… The blood of my hand is helpful to ease your pain."

"WHY DO YOU WANT TO SHAME ME?" Elsa cried out, "I have made peace with myself! STOP! I don't need pity from you!"

Beth glared, "Is that what this is? This is done out of pity for you? No… Why didn't you destroy Kyo completely, and let Kagura finish him off, knowing completely that his powers and mine compose a serious threat to you? Was that pity?"

Elsa responded, "It was because… my master fought a worthy warrior… And though she won, he never gave up… He deserved to be honored for that!"

Beth called out, "And next you'll say… Beth, you can't mean…"

Elsa gasped, "Beth… You can't mean…"

Beth nodded, "Yes… the honor you let Kagura show to Kyo… his warrior spirit has earned your respect. Kagura Sohma, there's still good in her, too… knowing full well that she does love him, only to stab his family in the back. I read her aura, saying she shit at her family tradition. She didn't. So, in a way, I wanted to honor your warrior spirit… My blood… is a tribute to you…"

Elsa giggled, "You beat me, Bethany Nevins… And as a warrior, you've proven to me that you're even taller than I do."

The vampires appeared and roared out, "KILL THE GIRL!"

The yelled out, about to kill her, one hundred to one. Anya smirks, as she was enjoying Beth's demise.

"HOLD!" Elsa roared out, "WHAT IS THIS BETRAYAL?"

She flung her head to the lone crossbow and slashed off the oncoming vampires, with her horn, one-by-one. "YOU COWARDLY ANIMALS!"

She killed most of the vampires, her horn came off. Beth cried, "ELSA!"

Elsa moaned, "I… am Elsa of the Emerald… my stone power is the jade… And even though I serve to Kagura Sohma, my master, and my dear sister, Anya, I will not allow the vampires to attack you. It's not because of sentiment. The moment Kyo died, I approached his body, where he laid, and told him that, as well… The minute my master left, I stole his bracelet, the one you're wearing, and placed it where my lip ring is. And I left it there, agreeing that Kagura wants you at full strength. To me, only the strong truly existed… Victory was the only quality to be admired… I was created, only to uphold my own code of honor… Please understand… To me, Beth Nevins… immortality… was something utterly unimportant to me… all that has ever mattered to me is… living up to my code…"

Beth nodded, and said, "Yeah…"

Elsa whispered, "Now… as my final wish, I desire that you drink the antidote, otherwise you have three days to live…"

Beth said, "You won't see it, though."

Elsa said, as she was fading, "I don't need eyes, words, or a horn, to know it. What matters is that you do it…"

Beth agreed and ate up the ring on her ring finger, swallowing it. The gem implanted in her aorta vanished completely. Beth was now free of her disease, with only three days to spare.

"I have no regrets," Elsa responded, "I was able to witness such a worthy warrior, young and just child, but from a descendant of a powerful man of legend, the Tiger King… Perhaps… the reason I lived, all those thousands of years… was to finally meet him, and learn if he was truly my equal… But instead, I got you, his daughter… And because of that, I was to meet you, at the end…"

Her head dissolved into ashes and croaked in her final words, "Farewell to you… … …Rabbit Princess… Beth…"

The winds blown, as her entire ashes were swept away. Elsa became one with the wind, as Beth gave her opponent one final salute. Though no tears were shed, they have shared a silent song. They have shared a warrior's affinity. Anya clutched the ashes of her fallen sister and seethed, as Kagura was calmly looking away. She thought, "So… She's become a worthy warrior, like her father… Such a fleeting spirit… like Kyo-kun… It's no wonder why she's so predictable and clever."

Anya held her fist down and reminisces, over thousands of years ago, when Anya and Elsa were killing innocent lives.

"Elsa, you must finish him…" Anya said.

Anya cried, "But… I can't… With utmost respect, Sister, he is an innocent young boy…"

"That's true, just a boy… That is the reason he must die. If he's allowed to live, like the others who uses Hamon, they're more than likely to be our enemies… and humans grow very quickly, indeed."

Anya raised her arms up, and to kill an innocent boy. She asked her, "Does it seem… beyond you? I guess I have no choice but to demonstrate it to you. Now, resolving the problem…"

She held her bone blade and cried, "…IS HANDLED LIKE THIS!"

SLASH!
Anya killed the innocent boy, cutting her head off.

Anya called out, "Elsa… She was too pure of the Philosophy as a warrior! AND SHE BECAME WEAK, AS A RESULT!"

One soldier said, "Well, that's the end of Elsa…"

Another said, "I guess so. She was a weak woman…"

A third one stated, "Yeah, I know. What a loser…"

Mandy said, "You're all the same, you vampires… You're more of a fan club, than a cult."

STAB!
Anya stabs the three soldiers in the temples, and drained them dry, turning them into vapor. Anya called out, "The only reason Elsa was weak was because she was too noble! I, alone, along with my master, are the only ones to remain! Because…"

She took of her cowl, showing long purple hair, waving around, and she saluted, "This world, and all in it, belongs to ME!"

One vampire cried, "LOOK AT HER! LADY ANYA IS AMAZING!"

She sprouted three horns on her head, and called out, "Miss Mandy, I do believe we're next…"

But one soldier called out, "Milady, let us be a part of it!"

Another yelled out, "Forget one-on-one! Let's lay waste to them, for her enjoyment!"

A third vampire cried out, "Yeah, we can't let her beauty be soiled by such a woman of strength!"

The vampires charged at them, as they called out.
"FOR YOU, LADY ANYA! WE'LL TURN THEM INTO BLOODY CORPSES!"
"WE DON'T NEED THE RULES! WE'LL SLAY THOSE TWO!"
"KILL THE MORTALS!"

Beth growled, as Mandy leaped up, and swatted three soldiers with a severe kick. She called out, "WHAT DID I JUST SAY? I will smash the Red Stone into bits, if you dare intervene! A one-on-one battle is what I want, and no one else can interfere!"

Anya agreed, "I second that motion. A promise is a promise. And my promise stands. That is why I chose to reveal my horn to you. As for my underlings' behavior, you can plainly see that they are no longer needed. They are already undead, but…"

The soldiers that tried to attack Beth and Mandy were sliced into pieces of rotting meat and flesh. Anya continued, "All I wanted is the Red Stone… However, though, Inga and Elsa were not just my sisters, but my underlings, through 10,000 years… We are family, and I am the oldest… and I have no choice but to honor their warrior deaths and warrior pride. I will fight you Ty Ko Ky users, fairly. And should I win, the red gem is mine. For you, Mandy… I will not seek you as the fighter you are… but rather with all the strength that I command!"

She walked off, as Beth was concerned. Anya called out, "We shall fight in… The Temple at Piz Bernina! Champions of battle would come here, to drink the blood of those that have felled, mixed with liquor. They thanked the gods for the gift of life. It's not an arena, but it will serve for our fight!"

Beth said, looking up, "Mandy, let me fight her… She's not as strong as Elsa, but I believe ten times worse. I fear for you safety…"

Mandy removed her coat, revealing a purple shirt and skirt, as she said, "I will not be missing out all those years of my life, replaced by a fresh new bud…"

Beth laughed, "Oh, that's right~! I forget that you have more years ahead of you, since you're living a full life.

Mandy appeared on top of a floor in the temple, as Anya called out, "I shall use my weapon of choice, the bone blade. I will not dishonor Elsa's memory, by giving you a proper choice for your weapon. Your Ty Ko Ky is able to condone energy, and making it into a powerful Excalibur. Feel free to pick anything you like."

Anya showed a pile of weapons in front of Mandy's feet. But Mandy pushed them off and said, "No need. My scarf will be more than sufficient."

Anya said, "As you will… And now, without any preparations, let's fight."

Anya brimmed in a bright aura, as Mandy said, "Astonishing… She has a stance, without violence…"

Anya called, "What is the matter? Are you ready?"

She jumped up and cried, "Then the first move is MINE!"

She vanished in a blind of light, as Mandy gasped, "She's fast… and she vanished. This… She's still as strong, and I can sense her, from above and below her."

Anya's right hand appeared, as Beth cried out, "THERE'S A CRACK IN THE STONE!"

Anya lunged behind her, and shouted, "BEHOLD THE BRILLIANT BONE BLADE!"

Mandy leap backwards and cried out, "Snake Muffler!"

She flipped over Anya, as Mandy said, "What you don't know is that this scarf that Queen Tia gave me can hold Hamon and Ty Ko Ky, perfectly. It's made of the finest furs from that of the nine-tailed fox. It's both a deadly weapon and a light detector! AND IT PROTECTS ME FROM CHEAP SHOTS FROM BEHIND!"

She kicked Anya in the mouth, as she growled, "Agh!" and sparked from her face. She dropped to the floor, as Mandy smirked. But then…

STAB!
Anya appeared from behind her and stabbed her in the back. Beth cried, "WHAT THE-? MANDY! NO! IT CAN'T BE! BUT WAIT… If that's Anya… then…"

The Anya Double was melting, as it was another vampire that fell victim to Ty Ko Ky.

Beth shouted, in panic, "YOU… YOU MEAN… WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? ANYA WASN'T THE ONE IN PAIN! SHE USED A DOUBLE, TO PLAN A CHEAP TRICK ON HER!"

She pulled her blade out and said, "You think I would play fair? HAH! All I cared about was obtaining the red gem! What stupidity! I plan to become the ultimate life form! I am not a warrior philosopher like Elsa, nor am I a romantic… I do not follow the rules… because in the end…"
SLASH!
She slashed upwards and cried out, "VICTORY IS ALL THAT MATTERS!"

She chopped her down, as Mandy thought, "So… that's why… she has no violence in her… She never intended on fighting me, in the first place…"

Anya cried out, "It's over!"

Mandy moaned, as she was bleeding, "Beth…"

Anya claims the Red Stone, as she called out, "I have the Red Gem of Fuji! I have won! The only thing that can make me happier is for you to kill Bethany Nevins!"

The vampires cheered, as they surrounded Beth. But she roared in an unquestionable anger, "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Her body was coated in a bright light, as her clothes turned into white and pink attire, with the mark of the Chinese character "Rabbit" on her white top. Her pants were long and pink, with a pink, blue, and yellow scarf around her. Her body shone, and she posed, "RABBIT PRINCESS!"

Anya gasped, "NO… What? This girl… is not human at all… She's… SHE'S A CHOUJIN!"

Beth hollered, "ANYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY!"

The vampire soldiers surrounded her, as she started to fight back, swiftly and fiercely, using a barrage of punches, kicks, and flying attacks.
"OUT OF MY WAY! GET BACK! MOVE YOUR FUCKING SKULLS AWAY FROM ME! ZOOM PUNCH! ANYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

One vampire laughed, "Oh, what's that? Your Ty Ko Ky has faded! You weak little human, you're out of power… Now it looks like you're about to-!"

POW!
"REBUFF OVERDRIVE!" She killed the vampire, using her combined powers of her Choujin Blood, Ty Ko Ky, and ESP Perk, with an elbow to the skull.

She yelled out, "Father may have betrayed me, but he knows that you undead sons of bitches cannot gloat at me, for more than 25 words!"

She panted, as she called out, "I am the Chosen Choujin, likewise my father! Cobra Queen and Monkey Prince, I will honor their deaths! I am the swift fighter of luck, and I'm no rabbit's foot! I am the Chosen Choujin – Rabbit Princess, Bethany Nevins!"

Anya said, "The Chosen Choujin, I see… So, you're no mere human, but of the superhuman kind. You're tired out, after your battle with Elsa! Can you last, since you're the only Ty Ko Ky user left that Mandy trained you? Your powers have risen, but not enough. Out of breath, out of strength, and out of luck… You're still a mortal! Bethany Nevins! Can you last? Will you last? Think you can beat me? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

Beth continued to fight off the soldiers of the undead, using every punch and kick, with an endless amount of energy. But she was fighting at overwhelming odds. She growled, as she was tiring out, "Damn it… It can't be… My training in Ty Ko Ky paid off, but it can't be true! I'm not weak! I can still try!"

The vampires lunged at her, about to finish her off. The vampires have Beth in their clutches, and suddenly, agonizing screams were made, as the undead warriors were reduced to ashes, by an unknown light. Beth gasped, "Uh, what just happened?"

She saw a huge light, as she saw a familiar face… and once face she hated the most – Kosuri von Stroheim!

"This is your last warning, vampires!" Kosuri shouted, "You are facing Major Kosuri von Stroheim and her German Elite!"

The soldiers, wearing green uniforms and dual UV lamps on their shoulders, cried in unison, "AND WE REPRESENT THE SPECIAL FORCES OF THE SPEEDWAGON FOUNDATION!"

From in that army, Hotaru was there, along with Midoriya, June, and Emily. Emily cried, "HEY~! BETH!"

June called out, "Hey, Sis! Nice clothes~!"

Beth smiled, "DAMN! An unbelievable change of luck! Speedwagon, you look great~! You, too, Sis, Midoriya, and Emily~! You guys are a sight for sore eyes."

Kosuri stripped herself, showing her bare stomach with a flash of light, "My body may be stiff, like my left leg, but I'M BETTER THAN BEFORE! NOW, YOU VAMPIRES, WE'LL SEE IF JEWEL POWER AND VAMPIRE POWER CAN BE OVERMATCHED BY GERMAN SCIENCE!"

Her shoulders sprouted out two huge UV lamps, and coated the vampires in the bright lights. Hotaru explained, "It was the Speedwagon Foundation that made it all possible… But the girl loves to brag."

The vampires were continuing to melt into ashes, as the German Elite marched at them. Anya watched on and said, "Crafty creatures, nonetheless… I admire their purpose… I don't see the Rabbit down there… Crafty little human, this Nevins… GONE AGAIN!"

She sensed her and said, "But still… You're just as quick as ever… like the small fragile white rabbit… Take one eye off of me, and there you are, putting another scheme in play."

She turned around and saw Beth, ready to fight. Beth said, "I'm ready to fight. I may have no Ty Ko Ky left, but like my father, I'm not giving up, until you see my lucky rabbit's foot kicking your teeth and horns down your throat! You crossed the line! No honor earns you NO consideration!"

She pointed at her and called, "You said it would be a fair fight! You attacked my coach in a cowardly ambush! Therefore, your respect as a warrior is all gone! And you have betrayed the honor and the memory of Elsa, your sister!"

Anya smirked, "Save the theatrics, Choujin… Your outrage means nothing. Any action is a means to an end is what I desire… and all I desire is the Red Gem… Battling for over 10,000 years means not risking dangers, minimizing risks, and move your palms very carefully, indeed. This is what the battle has been about!"

She called out, "And to prove my efforts, I'm going to move you to your death!"

Beth called back, "Listen to me, you sick monster! I've never hated anyone, before this day! BUT YOU I HATE!"

Anya prepared and said, "Well, if you really want to hate me, do so! And if you want to kill me, fine… We'll have that one-on-one fight, just as you wanted… But the reason I left Mandy alive is because… she's a pawn for my pleasing. You see, I let her live, for the remaining moments, to make you watch. She's closing in on death's door. Come on…"

She stabbed her feet and called out, "And now…"

She tied the rope into her feet, and called out, "I tied her into rope, to show you!"

Beth growled in anger, "You utter scum of a woman…"

Anya smiled, "Don't worry… She's tied to the rope, and you have a chance to save her… And why will you save her? From becoming a hanging bloodied little old lady… LIKE THIS!"

She kicked Mandy's body off and Beth shrieked, leaping off the temple. Beth grabbed the rope and hung around on the other side, preventing Mandy from falling into the ground, nearly killed.

"BETH! AMANDA!" Hotaru shrieked.

Midoriya cried, "Wait! AMANDA? That woman is named Amanda?"

Emily gasped, "No… You mean to tell me that this is the Amanda that you told Midoriya and myself about? She was that same Amanda that was rescued by a young Pastor Nevins, when he was a child, after his father died? THAT AMANDA?"

June whispered, as she held her chest, "No… … …Is that-?"

Hotaru turned away, as June was worried. She remembered, as she whispered, "Grandma?"

Meanwhile, Anya was turning to Beth, hanging on the rope, as she said, "Now, here's where things get a little messy, Bethany Nevins! I will very calmly walk towards you, and slice you to pieces, while you cannot move!"

Beth roared, "ANYAAAAAAAAAAAAA, THERE'S A FITTING PLACE IN HELL FOR YOU, YOU FUCKING BITCH!"

Midoriya was in complete horror, as he viewed the hanging Mandy, who was dangling upside-down, feet away from certain death. He thought, "No way… Beth is saving this woman's life… But she doesn't know it… The woman she was trying to save… … …is her own grandmother!"
