"Don't bother." Naegi appeared from behind Camie, "No need for your ambush. I'm one step ahead of you!"

Camie gasped, as Naegi prepared, "So, we meet." Camie leapt forward, but she crashed face-first into the rock, breaking her nose. Naegi moved to the middle, as Camie was in pain.

Naegi said, "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But still, you're no different."

Camie panicked, as she sobbed, "Blood? Why-? Why is this happening to me?"

He said, "I was wrong. She's a stuffy little crybaby. Though, I admit that she has guts to find me. The way she attacks is exact. But no one in Alternativa can react like a gutless baby." He called, "You there, stay where you are!"

She cried, "No, please, don't hurt me! I don't have any money!"

"Relax. I'm here for my knife. I mean you no harm, and of no interest to me."

He walked forward, as Camie waited. That is…

"Well, curious… I was wondering about you, lady." he said, as he stopped, "First of all, the way you're acting, it's as if you are hiding something from me. When you tripped and fell on your face, you almost hit the envelope on the ground. So, what are you hiding? If it's nothing, I'll be on my way."

Camie winced, as Makoto called, "Answer me! I'm here to investigate. You have no bloodlust or hostility. But I can smell a liar. Now, up with your foot!"

Camie stood up, and lifted her foot. There was nothing inside the envelope. Makoto said, "I see… It was nothing in it." She gasped, as he said, "It's empty. I think it must be some sort of motive that you're hiding. But then again, it's nothing of the sort. The groveling was not an act. But I exposed you for what you are. Everything's changed, because your actions speak louder than words." He pointed at her and called, "I know you're a Stand User. And the way you reacted, turning your face left, means you can see what you saw, as a Stand User. And you saw a Stand, did you? One Stand that can do reconnaissance, all to comb the area!"

He called out, looking to the right, "That can only mean one Stand! Aero-Bunny!" Beth's Spirit Caller was patrolling the area, as Naegi and Camie were shocked. He remarked, "They finally arrived in Sardinia!" Camie was shocked, as he continued, "Well, now. You'd have to be very talented to know exactly where you're going. Judging by your actions, I believe that you work for The Boss, and want Koumoto, as well! Clearly, The Boss has total faith in you, despite all that, I exposed you as a contradiction. I thought you were a mewling crybaby, but I know now… you're the Boss's right-hand woman!"

Camie bugged out her eyes and hollered, "SHUT UP! DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO ME THAT WAY, CAZZO!" She struck at Naegi, but he avoided the attack. He vanished, as she cried, "NO! He's… He's gone?"

Act V: Episode 11, Chapter 2: Man of Iron vs. Eulogy!
The Last of Ultimate Hope!

Naegi returns, as he called, "Interesting. Judging by your attack formation, you're a close-range user. And your range is 2 to 3 meters. If I can stay away from that range, killing you is easy."

Camie started to gag, as Naegi called, "I figured you out, lady. I promise that I won't kill you, but that went out the window. I have a grudge with your boss."

Camie started to vomit blood and… razor blades?! She cried, "WHAT THE HELL? My throat! Are these actual razors?" She stopped, and then growled, "That prick thinks he's high and mighty… but I have to reach two meters to get to this edgy douche! Once I do, I'll jam these blades everywhere, up his ass, down his throat, and through his eyes!" She charged forward, but Naegi stepped back.

"You're still that strong to resist." He smiled, "But I know just how to stop you."

Sharp nails emerged from Camie's mouth, and she screamed in pain. But she punched at Naegi and roared, "DAMN THAT HURTS! But YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD!"

Naegi leapt off the cliff and vanished. Camie sobbed, as she held herself, "My god… I can't beat him… This guy… He's so-." She gasped, and chirped, "Dooo-lulululululululu! Huh? The phone. Dooo-lulululululululu! I… I know I heard a phone ringing, but…" She looked around and said, "It must be the boss! I have to tell her about Naegi. The guy can recreate metal objects from out of nowhere. That's his ability. Dooo-lulululululululu! Where's the phone?" She then found a frog and said, "Oh, what luck! Who would've guess that there'd be a payphone, right here? Lucky!" She picked up the frog and beeped, "Click, boop! Hello? Is this the Boss?"

"My Camie. How has it been?"

"Not good, Boss… This guy, Naegi… He's… He's lethal AF!"

"It's alright, my dear. You must not give in to despair… when fighting someone with hope."

"How can I? Are you here? I need your help on this, Boss! Makoto Naegi's ruthless and dangerous!"

"No, the time is not yet right. Unless you can reach two meters of him, then I cannot act. If he escapes, all our efforts will have been for naught!"

"But I can't find him."

"You have your orders! Move within two meters of Naegi!"

"Boss! I can't! I have no idea where he is, nor do I know what his ability is! He's just gonna get me again!"

The Boss said, "Ohhhh, Camie… Have you forgotten that I have a part of Crimson War Goddess installed in your thick head?" A face of The Boss's Stand, Crimson War Goddess, appeared on Camie's forehead, and her eyes were mesmerized, "Now, all you have to do is apply to your unique talents."

Her hair waved around, as Camie whispered, "Unique talents…" She saw a vision, as she whispered, "What is this?" The Boss responded, "Calm yourself, and look at your surroundings… and peer into the future…" A long lock of her hair flushed over her eyes, viewing an image of the battle. "Amazing! I can see everything that goes on." The boss said, "This is Eulogy. Look carefully into the future. Ten seconds from now… when you see him, attack. You also possess Crimson War Goddess's arms, so it can suffice you in battle."

Camie looked around, as she gasped, "Birds! Birds flew by, like I saw!" She then viewed a vision of Naegi, camouflaged in the rocks, invisible, slinking off. Camie whispered, "There is the bastard! But why is he invisible?" She called, "Boss! I think I found Naegi! It was hard for me, but Eulogy found him. Ten seconds from now… The guy's a natural, blending into the rocks, nearby. But I can't see him now. My bare eyes are useless, as long as he stays there!"

"That Naegi somehow has the technique to camouflage himself from plain sight. Normally, he's invisible. But you saw him, because of your foresight. Camie, look a few seconds ahead of you, and see how he'll attack."

Camie uses Eulogy and saw a vision of her, getting scissors in her throat. Naegi moved, as Camie whispered, "He's… on the move and-. What the-? Scissors in my throat? He plans… to cut my face off from inside!" She panicked, "SCISSORS?!" She cried, "BOSS! Big trouble! In ten seconds, scissors are gonna fly out from my throat!"

"Peace, Camie…" The Boss said, "Despite appearances, that was not your death. Naegi is the one defector that eluded the famiglia. Dealing with him will result in injury. Use the knowledge that Eulogy gave you, and you'll come out on top."

"But there are scissors lodged in my throat… and there's nothing I can do?"

"Exactly, Camie. Accept your fate, but use those seconds from your foresight, and deduce how he will attack you. You've seen the inevitable, now you must prepare it."

"Will do, Boss."

"There's not a doubt that scissors will be lodged in your throat, but see beyond that! Discover the method behind his madness, and overcome it! Once you do, you'll uncover his weakness, and you must move to two meters of him, and destroy him with Crimson War Goddess's arms!"

Camie charged and roared, "DAMN IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!" She fired her punches at the rocks, but he disappeared. Scissors appeared from inside her throat, and she started to choke. She gagged, as her skin was tightening, "You think… You can defeat me… with petty tricks? Sorry… But you won't kill me… THAT EASILY!"

She ripped the scissors off her neck, and panted in pain. Naegi returned, as he said, "Not bad, kiddo. In all my years as a hitman, I never knew a rookie like you would learn from the best. But I am curious. How did you even know I was here? Your abilities are so unusual. Regardless, I'm surprised that you figured out my scissor attack. I was on track to bisect your trachea, but from the way you put your hands to your throat… that was smart thinking."

Camie thought, "Dammit! How did they enter my neck, without opening my mouth? I couldn't even see his Stand, either!"

Naegi vanished, as he said, "I better do something… My next attack will end this. How she figured me out was bizarre. It was almost like she knew of the forthcoming. I better be careful."

Camie looked around and snarled, "Damn him! Where did he go? I'm starting to figure out his Stand's ability, but still… What the hell am I even doing? The Boss will lose his shit, knowing I lost him. Regardless, he really got me good… and I'm starting to feel dizzy…" She moaned, as she was slowly breathing, but then Eulogy saw a vision of a severed foot - her foot! She cried, "NO WAY! Eulogy saw something again?! My foot… It's…" She looked down and sighed, and called on her frog, "Boss! Eulogy struck again! I saw a vision that my foot will be hacked off!"

"WHAT?!" The Boss shouted, "What does that mean?"

Camie snarled, "You bastard! I'm ready for what may come, and I won't be tricked again! Che cazzo! I'll get in range, if it's the last thing I do!"

"Ahhh… Crimson War Goddess has somehow provided you with another vision, hasn't she? The severed foot. Was it yours? That's what it was, you just said earlier."

"Yes, that's true. But now I see more. No doubt, I have to prepare to let him chop my right foot off. I'm ready for him, either way!"

"Camie, you idiot! You can't let him mutilate you!" The Boss roared, then thought, "This is a predicament… Losing blood is one thing, but losing a limb? That may be a problem." She called Camie, "I'm telling you to withdraw! Get to safety! You saw what the future holds, so why are you not running?"

"I'm sorry… but Naegi's an expert. I saw him at the corner of my eye. My legs are aching, so running is out. Razors, scissors, he knew all of this would exhaust me!"

"AGAIN, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! He's gonna slaughter you!"

"I will not do as you say, Boss. If I try escaping, he'd kill me, anyways." Camie remarked, "I can barely move. Staying here will help me figure out his next attack. I was caught with razor blades, nails, and those damned scissors. But I went about this, the wrong way!"

She placed the frog down and waited. The frog exploded into bloody mulch, with razor blades emerging from inside. Camie yelled, "THERE YOU ARE!"

She threw scissors at the air, and…
SLASH!
Naegi's right foot was hacked off, upon impact. He screamed in pain, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Camie cheered, "YAY! I DID IT! I stopped him!" She smirked, "I figured it out now! His ability! It can produce metallic objects from within, using the iron inside their bodies! And then attack the enemy from inside! That explains my breathing and that frog exploding into blades!"

He growled, "That dirty girl! How did she outsmart me?"

Camie attacked with her arms and roared, "EAT SHIT, CAZZONE!" He was caught in the punches, but Naegi steps back and vanishes.

"That vision was spot on! Someone lost a foot. It was mine… but thanks to Eulogy, it's his ugly foot. I did mondo cool, huh, Boss?" She paused and gasped, "Eh? Boss? Oh, no! My phone is gone! Where did it go? I dropped it! Oh, it's here! No… that's a frog." She looked down, and searched for the rocks, "No, maybe it's here… Huh? Aw, man… I can't use those phones… They're breakable and dirty! It looks gross and slimy, too. Did someone spill beer on it?" She chirped, Dooo-lulululululululu! Dooo-lulululululululu!" She smiled, "Well, look at that! Someone found some useful compact phones for me!" She picked up a discarded cigarette and called, "Hello, Boss? Did you see it? I got Naegi right where I got him! And I figured out his Stand. We may come off of it, in one piece."

He groaned, as he was in pain, "That little… She actually used her Stand to defeat me… but it's not over yet."

"Well done, mi amico mio. You really showed him."

Camie said, "So, should I finish him off for you, Boss, or should I wait?"

The Boss replied, "Makoto Naegi will never see the light of day, thanks to you. His death must be swift! I will finish him off, myself, but you must be within two meters, right now! I shall join you then! Your job, in the meantime, is to get closer to him!" Camie's body bulges into a muscular tone.

"Understood! The bastard's already disabled! I'm heading there, right now! Boop!" She hung up and rushed to him. But Naegi's foot hovered off, and Camie gasped, "NO WAY!" She saw metallic blobs on the wound, and she thought, "Whoa… Is that his Stand? There's something inside his gash!"

CLANG!
His foot was reattached, in a metallic sound. Naegi said, "I see. So, this is your Stand's power, to see through divination… the powers of the unknown. You know all my moves, and you are psychic. That explains why you figured out my moves and attacks, and how and where. Earlier, I thought you were a mewling little fledgling, as The Boss's underling, but now, it's so much more. You stand there, with so much courage, and your face and body are different, too."

He stood up, as Camie said, "Yeah, and I have you figured out, Lucky Boy! You used the iron to create metal and sharp objects inside of me, and kill me from within!"

Naegi said, "Amazing. I'm surprised that you figured out Man of Iron's ability. But that's not important. I have you figured out. I know exactly who you are… from your face… your eyes… and your body… like there are two of you. And I have come to the conclusion…" he prepared, as he growled, "Two years!"

He remembered the deaths of his allies, including the recent outcomes of his allies, "Two years ago, you turned us into a bunch of cowering babies! But now, I remember who you are, after all these years! Kirigiri, Fukawa, Togami, Asahina… they all perished, all wanting to get close to the one person we wanted… and justice for our allies' deaths. All I want to ask is who you really are! I want to know who you are, but I want answers, so I can uncover your identity!"

Dating back to before The Boss found out about their tracks, the Hitman Squad was in the house of Solido Naso.

Byakuya said, "Solido Naso. One of the Boss's Aliases."

Asahina added, "Well, yes. Why else would she date an old man, anyway?"

The entire team was searching The Boss, under her guise. Kuwata barked, "So, we dragged our asses all the way here, for nothing?! Stupid!" He threw a portrait down, which is the picture of Zenjuro Okuma, in Sardinia.

Sayaka said, "But… If we're able to figure out who this guy's son in, maybe he'll know who The Boss is. Just an intuition. Isn't that right, Hiro?"

Hiro stammered, "Eh, uh, yeah…"

Toko said, "B-But… Why are we s-s-searching f-for The Boss? She's n-n-not h-here."

Byakuya said, "Ever since the incident occurred with Ishimura and Yamada, we've been stuck here like rats in a hole. I suggest that you search without shaking."

Toko nodded, "Y-Yes, Master!"

Naegi and Kyoko stepped in, as he asked, "Any luck?"

Byakuya barked, "If you'd call this a goose chase, then yes. So far, no luck."

Hina shouted, "What the hell kind of hunt is this, if we're scrounging in The Boss's previous hideaway?!"

Kyoko stated, "Calm yourself, Hina. I believe I have an answer. Since Ludicolo isn't a Stand User, someone else is. I believe I am analyzing that Zenjuro Okuma's son is under protection. Maybe Popo. We are all Stand Users, but my data confirms that there is a clue that Mr. Zenjuro Okuma's son knows about The Boss's true identity."

Sakura said, "Very well. We should traverse to Napoli, and ask him, ourselves."

Naegi called, "Hold on. We should think through… since we are treading in hot water, especially from The Boss's capos." He stepped forward, "I'm as angry as you are, but forget Ishimura and Yamada, and you'll meet the same end. Failure means your demise. Take heed of my word."

The rest of the team agreed to Naegi's words. Of course, this would ultimately lead to The Hitman Squad's downfall, being ousted off, one by one… thanks to Kana Koumoto, June Nevins, and the others.
And only ONE member remained.

He prepared, as he said, "My blood's boiling, but I'll deal. For he who cannot control his emotions, die first. Listen to me, girl. You figured out Man of Iron's ability, but it'll be your downfall."

"Man of Iron?" Camie asked, "Yeah, I was, like, right about you, Makoto Naegi. I know all about your creepy Stand's ability and its magnetism. You used the iron inside my blood to create sharp objects from inside me. Then you used the magnetized iron dust to camouflage yourself to blend in with the environment, and made yourself disappear. Tell me I am wrong!"

He nodded, "Very impressive. Took you long enough to figure it out. But nothing compared to your Stand! But your fate is already sealed." He vanished, "Iron. As my Stand's name resonates from. It is a fantastic element that exists the world over. Not only is it in sand, but also in mineral water and plants. And for a healthy human body, lots of iron is inside. Why do you think I regurgitated the blades from inside you?"

Camie uses Eulogy and growled, only to gag and choke a bit. She saw some scalpels heading her way. He called out, as scalpels emerged from the ground, as the dirt is full of iron. "Now, see if you can avoid all this, child! This battle is over!"

The scalpels shot at her, but she deflected every shot, only to get nicked by some wayward scalpels. She dropped down, and rolled out of the way, avoiding more scalpels. She covered her mouth, and puked out needles from her mouth. Yet another vision from Eulogy. She screamed and cried, as The Boss cried, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? CALM DOWN! YOU KNEW HOW HE WAS GOING TO ATTACK YOU! YOU CANNOT LET HIM HURT YOU, ANYMORE! UNDERSTAND?"

Camie coughed, "Boss… This is…"

Naegi said, "You deciphered my abilities, and managed to sever my foot, but still… Your breathing has started to fade. You're out of options left, to maintain a comeback. Now, biology lesson, lady. Iron is usually found in plants like spinach, or organs like the live. And iron can also be used to control your bloodstream. What happens if you lose all that iron? Answer: Your blood no longer becomes red, but rather a deepish yellow color. The iron in your blood binds with the oxygen you breath in, and carries it into your body. Without it, however, that oxygen will never reach important parts of your body, like fingertips or the brain. And to put it simply, without the iron in your body now, you're about to die, no matter how much you breathe in or out! The iron in your body has forbidden you from ever making any more deep breaths. This is my Ace against people like you. My Stand makes it happen, stripping away the iron from your body, and killing you from inside. Even if you counter my metallic attacks, the damage is already done." He then nodded, "It's almost over. I can wait until she's a living corpse, before she dies out completely. Even so, I'm short on time. That small airborne Stand is looking for us… so it'll be a moment, before I waste the others away. So, I'll end this now, before she makes a comeback."

Camie called to The Boss, "B-Boss… Koumoto and her friends… They… They arrived! I can sense it!"

"WHAT? Koumoto is here?" The Boss shouted.

Camie said, "Yeah! Koumoto, Motoyama, and Hetada! And they're not alone! They brought a little girl with! She must be the little tyke that holds Aero-Bunny!"

"Dammit! Mossan's here, too?! We're out of time! Camie, the next attack you make must be the killing blow! Do what you can to stop Naegi, before it's too late!"

"I'm looking at it now! Eulogy says that Naegi will ambush me to the right! After that, he disappears! I can't see him anymore!" She gasped, as she was bleeding yellow blood from her body, "UNGH! He's going to strike, there!" She gasped, as her head exploded in a huge hole in her head, kneeling down, "IT CAN'T BE!"

"What? What did you see? HURRY!"

"I'm sorry, Boss. That bastard won't know what hit him! I have a plan, right before Eulogy gave me a vision! I'll knock that smug head off his shoulders, just like his nasty ass foot!" She swung and roared, "I GOT YOU, YOU BASTARD! DIE!"

"WAIT!" The Boss halted Camie's attack and shouted, "DON'T DO IT! YOU MUST STAY STILL! Any act you make now will be in vain! Listen to me, Camie! Your life depends on it! I'm traveling to your destination, at this moment! You must stay here, until then! In a few seconds, I'll arrive to dispose of Naegi."

"A FEW SECONDS?! But there's no time! I have to kill him now! Otherwise, I'll be dead, before you arrive!"

"DON'T BE STUPID! Once I arrive, I will use my time-erasing powers. That'll undo the horrid future that Naegi plans to do with you!"

Camie's right arm bulges, as she cried, "What if she offs me, beforehand? I WANT TO KILL HIM, NOW!"

"CAMIE! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY! IF YOU WANT TO LIVE, YOU DO AS I SAY! YOUR BODY HAS REACHED ITS LIMIT! I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SABOTAGE YOURSELF, IN MY NAME! Do you NOT understand the position you're in? Makoto Naegi will NOT let you find him a second time!"

Camie calms down, as she said, "No… You're wrong. What if I can find him, Boss? See, I already figured his trick out. I already, like, pinpoint his location. I already know that the bastard is about to rip the iron from my body." She felt it, as a razor emerged from her head, and the scalpel she is balancing is pointing forward, like a compass, "THERE IT IS! If his Stand is strong enough, if it has enough power to directly remove the iron from my body, then this scalpel will show me the source of that force!" She threw three scalpels and roared, "GOT YOU NOW, MAKOTO NAEGI!"

Naegi was behind her, as he said, "I'm right here." Camie gasped in horror, as he said, "Sorry… But you see, that wasn't me that you detected. You knew that magnetic fields attract a lot of iron, and thought that if you'd detect me from there, you tracked me down." His severed foot was on the ground, as he explained, "I had to remove my foot, so you'd think it was me! How predictable. I gave it some magnetic force from my Stand, and acted as if I was there. I knew I had to make the best of this situation. And as I said, the damage is already done. You made a final gamble, and you lost."

Camie whimpered, as he snarled, "You're different now. You're no longer a timid girl. Then there is this change of personality, and your body suddenly morphed in muscles. And you were talking to yourself. I figured you out. It makes a whole lot of sense. I know exactly who you are, now." He pointed out, "I KNOW NOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE! 16th Century philosophers declare this phenomenon as Multiple Personality Disorder, or Dissociative Identity Disorder. It makes a whole lot of sense! You're not a timid girl working for the boss! Not at all! To think, I thought you were a weak girl!"

He stepped forward and went serious, "At long last, hope leads to vengeance! Everyone that was slaughtered by Koumoto and her band of thugs… was because of YOU! Nothing you can do will change everything now! All hope you had is gone! I am the true hope! This battle is done, and I have won! I finally know who you really are, and not some busty and bubbly agent of The Boss! You're more than that! Hina, Kiri, Togami, Hiro, Sayaka, Leon, Ogami! THEY ALL DIED, BECAUSE OF YOU! I WILL AVENGE THEM ALL! HOPE LEADS TO VENGEANCE! AND YOUR LIFE IS NOW FORFEIT! I BLAME YOU, FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MY ALLIES! MY FRIENDS! AND MY LIFE!" He hollered, as he brimmed silver energy, "NOW FINISH HER, MAN OF IRON!"

RATATATATATATATATATATA!
Naegi was shot in the back, as he gasped, bleeding a bit. He gasped, "Wha-? What the hell?" He turned around, and gasped, seeing Aero-Bunny, in front of him. Camie kneeled down in pain, as she hissed.

"But… How? How did they find me?" He gasped, as he was wounded.

The Boss, in Camie, hissed to him, "Oh, Naegi… How foolish of you. Did you really think I'd let you win? I made sure that Camie was aware. I told her that she no longer stood any chance against you."

Naegi gasped, "No… Don't tell me!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cliffs, Kana held up three scalpels and cried, "I knew it! The enemy beat us to the island!"

Pets called, "Luckily, they're full of lead! So much for their ambush!"

Naegi moaned, "But how? I… I thought…"

The Boss groaned, "Makoto Naegi, you have done me well. In doing so to defeat me, you robbed my body of all the iron inside. It no longer helps me breathe oxygen from my lungs. Suffice to say, my breathing has ceased to being, thanks to you. Which means… the only thing that Aero-Bunny is currently tracking…"

Kana asked Beth, "How many in the area, Beth? Any breathing signals?"

Beth nodded, "Only one. And it's off the charts. He's over there at that cliff."

The Boss points at Naegi and hissed, "...is YOUR STINKING BREATH, NAEGI!"

RATATATATATATATATATATA!
Naegi was lavished with a barrage of bullets from Aero-Bunny, and blood splattered all over Camie. The Boss spoke, as some went into her fawn hair, "How interesting. What Camie saw in her foresight actually came true."

Naegi moaned, "I was winning… I had you beat. But…" He dropped to his knees and croaked, "...you knew you had to throw the scalpels… Boss!" He collapsed to the ground, as The Boss stood up gingerly.

Beth called, "Down for the count! Aero-Bunny just neutralized that guy!"

Mossan said, "Good! Then I'll see who this guy is."

Kana called out, "WAIT, Mossan! We need you for this important task. Pets, Beth, and I will head over there, ourselves. We're here for one reason alone. And that's to find out who the woman was that was here in this spot, fifteen years ago. We want the identity of the woman that dated Tanukichi's father. But the longer we stay, the greater the risk. There's enemies hounding the island, already."

Beth said, "Yes, but there was only one guy on that cliff."

Mossan said, "She's right. But don't you remember the Stand we met on the plane? Beth turned the guy into a bullet-ridden mulch, for all we know. We need to know who he is, before we do anything at all."

Kana asked, "Beth, can you confirm his death?"

Beth replied, "No, I'm not. It's slowly fading, but I may try to plug his body, just to be sure."

Kana said, "Alright. Pets, Beth, and I will check it out. Mossan, you stay here and replay the moment when Zenjuro Okuma and The Boss met."

Mossan said, as she summoned Prog Tech, "I'm on it."

Kana stated, "Bear in mind, we cannot let this replay be missed. We need all the time we can to get the Boss's true face."

Mossan said, "But fifteen years, rewinding back, Prog Tech will take about eight to ten minutes, if I'm being hopeful."

Kana stated, "You'll get it done, in five! Meaning lookouts are possible. June, Nanao, Maynard, & Okuma are needed. The very second Prog Tech reaches the point of the replay, we get the hell out of here. Beth, use Aero-Bunny to let the others know we need them out here!"

Beth nodded, "Right!" Aero-Bunny departed, heading off to warn the others.

Meanwhile, The Boss walks over to Naegi's bullet-ridden body, and coughs a bit. Naegi moaned, "So… I was right… You're… You're her… The Boss!"

The Boss, as Camie, approached him, as he continued, "Why did I not see it coming? All the clues… You… led my team… to so much despair…"

The blood spilt down, as he asked, "Before I expire… I want to see… your true face…"

The Boss threw away Naegi's severed foot, and then replied, "Sorry, but that is the one thing I cannot do… even if you are about to die, I won't let it happen. Kana Koumoto and her team cannot be allowed to know the truth about me. Take pride in yourself, though. You're a true warrior, to confront me in battle. You will die an honorable death. Your team will say the same thing, once you meet them in the afterlife. They died, because of me? No… They were bested by the best. Your life will come to an end, real soon. But Koumoto is here on this island, so she may find a way to get information from you. So before I let you die, you give back the iron that you stole from me. In exchange, I shall lay you down in an eternal resting place, peaceful and serene, sparing you of any despair that you would fear this day. Don't you want to avoid the embarrassment of a slow and painful death of despair, especially at the hands of Koumoto's crew, the very same team that slewed every one of your dear teammates? Such abject weakness would only bring shame to them, as they rest in the beyond!"

Naegi growled, "No… I won't…"
CLASP!
Naegi's last ounce of strength clasped onto The Boss's arms. He growled, "I won't… die… unless you come with me!"

"WHAT?" The Boss gasped.

Naegi smiled, "You forget! I'm considered once the Ultimate Lucky Student! Luck's on my side! And it's all thanks to Man of Iron!"

Aero-Bunny returned, as it was covered in Naegi's blood, and produced silver blobs, covering the wings. It was Naegi's Stand, Man of Iron. He growled, "This is for all the lives you've taken! I won't die, until you're extinguished, forever! Even if you die, Koumoto and her crew will never win! They will never solve your true identity, as long as I take you with me! Aero-Bunny is under my control, after my chunks of my body were able to latch onto the kid's Stand! They're going to make sure that THEY DRAG YOU TO HELL!" he called out, "AERO-BUNNY! FIRE AT HER! DIE!"

Aero-Bunny shot at the back of The Boss, killing her in the process. Beth gasped, as she cried, "Hey, hold on! Something's latched onto Aero-Bunny! I can't control it!"

Naegi growled, "This battle is mine! I have won! The Boss of Alternativa now-!" Suddenly he gasps, and bullet holes slowly appear in his face.

"Crimson War Goddess." The Boss moved out of the way, in a split-second, and then said, "I only obliterated time, for half a second. Everything that occurred during that time has been removed; namely, to speak, it's the bullets that Aero-Bunny is shooting at me now. So, it's simply now, the bullets are now ripping through your flesh, for the remaining half-second."

RATATATATATATATATATATATATA!
This time, Naegi is shot in the head, killed in the process. His Stand, Man of Iron, disappeared from existence, and The Boss kneeled down in pain. And thus, the Hitmen Team dropped to zero. Naegi died, thanks to The Boss's Stand.

The Boss grumbled, as she held herself, "Bravissimo, Naegi… You showed a lot to defy me. Even so, my body is too injured to move, since I'm depleted of iron. Now, my circumstances have gotten even worse off." She dropped to all-fours and moaned, "I have to hurry. Koumoto and the others are heading this way."

Kana called, "You sure, Beth?"

Kana, Pets, & Beth raced to the area, as Beth said, "Absolutely! Something latched into Aero-Bunny! Shit!"

The Boss crawled off, as she was gasping for air, "Damn it! They're… They're coming this way! I have to get… out of sight… before they make it here! I'll hide for now, and restore my nutrients, later!"

The Boss crawled away, hoping to avoid sight from the others. With the Hitman Squad erased, what now?

To be continued…
