Since the journey around New York and Italy, June Nevins and friends have succeeded in coming closer to stopping the evil Boss of Alternativa. It was a raucous journey, from start to finish…

Kana Koumoto, leading member of the famiglia, hunt down Emily Maynard, only to be bested by June Nevins. Upon learning of the mafia's drug market, June & Emily joins, in order to erase it. But along the way, they met vicious Stand Users, some they even befriended. And even some that they would eventually kill, in order to be one step closer.

As the story goes, June & Emily gained new allies. Beth Nevins reluctantly joined, to help achieve June's Golden Dream, and would tag along as their newest ally. Nanao Kashima, an android that Emily created, a rather useful ally, not just by offense and defense, but for support. Tanukichi Okuma, the girls' first friend they met, who, thanks to uncovered clues, knows of The Boss, courtesy of his father, Zenjuro.

It was for these five, to team with Kana Koumoto and Tomomi Hetada, that the road had become arduous and difficult. But like The Gang, they hung on, by the skin of their teeth. With all their enemies dealt with, a long list of enemies, assassins, hitmen, and creeps, only one Stand User is left… and that Stand User is The Boss, who wields perhaps The NEW Gang's greatest foe - Crimson War Goddess!

But… Only the arrow, in possession of Yamabuki Suou, one of The Gang's former allies and companions, during their time in Egypt, bears the only secret that will eliminate Crimson War Goddess and The Boss, for good. However, there seems to be a problem…

Emily, Camie, & Kana were at the Colosseum, just across the street, as Emily said, "Blast it… We're here, except… Kana's blind as a bat."

Kana moaned, "Emily, don't… worry about me… This girl, she'll help me… You go find the others, and hurry!"

Emily said, "No, I can't abandon you!"

Camie said, "It's fine, pal. Like, I'll watch over your injured gal pal. You go find your friends. We did make it, after all."

Emily nodded, "Right. Kana… In the event you and I do not make this out alive… I want to let you know…" she gulped and said, "I regret ever making a stupid deal with that mafioso!"

She dashed off, as Kana replied, "Grazie mille, Emily Maynard… Know that, with my time left, you are already forgiven and blessed."

"Uh, what were you two whispering about?"

"Oh… Nothing of the sorts."

Camie replied, "Well, come on… We, like, don't wanna wait too long. Come on! Rush to it!"

Kana moaned, "Thank you, but… I can't seem to move… but I'll be fine…"

Camie thought, "What's her deal? I was offering her some help. Even so, this Emily girl, she knows that she's blinded and limp. Gotta help a chick out, after all." She responded, "No, I totally want to help you! If you cannot see, you need guidance. I wanna help you! Please, it's, like, the best thing, since you saved my ass from that wacko of a nurse. It's the least I can do…"

Kana replied, "Fine… Just… Help me inside…"

Camie and Kana walk off, as Emily leaves to go find the others. Little do they know… trouble was about to rear its ugly head.

Requiem (Part 1):
Episode 13, Chapter 1: Showdown at the Colosseum!
Her name is… … …Haruhi!

Kana moaned, as she tripped over the railing. Camie cried, "WATCH OUT!" as she rescued her from the running truck, "WHOA! Ease up! You okay?"

Kana leaned down, "I'll be fine… This thing…"

Camie held her hand, but then felt something cold. She thought, "What the-? The girl's touch is cold… only icy. But I don't sense her pulse." She whispered, "What kind of freaky girl is she?"

She looked around, as Camie thought, "Hold on… She's looking for her glasses? Wait… She cannot see… and she didn't even flinch, when that truck almost hit her. Did her ears get busted, too?" She picked up Kana's shoe and went to her feet. But then…

Kana asked, "Excuse me, but… that gash on your neck… I know it's rude… but…" She pointed at Camie's neck, "I noticed that you have that scar on your neck. How did you get it?"

Camie gasped, as she thought, "OH! Did she stare at my neck? Well, she can still see, but she's a neck pervert. Wait a sec… how could she see my scar on my neck? That was during my battle with Makoto Naegi, a while back."

"How did you manage to get that?"

"Oh… It's nothing. Anyways, let's get going." She gave her the shoe and said, "I'll help you up… but I'm staying by your side."

"Grazie mille. I should be fine."

Camie helped Kana away, as she whispered, "So, she can hear, but she cannot see. What is with Kana Koumoto? Emily was crying to her, just now, and… I know this is grody AF, but why is she still living, without sight or hearing? This chick's too bizarre in my book."

They crossed the street, as Camie saw Nanao, who was waiting by the gate. She gasped, and then hid behind the post, "SHIT! It's the android! Should've known it'd be too easy. The rest of her friends have already arrived… only… She cannot know about Kana Koumoto's condition! Nor can they know about me! Figures!"

Kana asked, "What's wrong? Why did we stop? We're supposed to cross."

"N-No, we are, but… I'm exhausted… Plus, my wound may have reopened! Owwww… Give me a moment!" She looked, as she cried, "Crap, crap, crap, crap! She's coming this way!"

Kana said, "Listen, thanks for your help, but I'll find my way, thank-."

Camie held her down and yelled, "NO! NOT NOW! YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE! Uh, there's another car coming… so, we'll just cross, when it leaves."

"I see… But we have to hurry… Time's running out!"

Camie thought, as she was nervous, "Damn it! No! The android's coming… I have to kill Kana, right now!" She prepared a chop and cried, "RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! I JUST HAVE TO… I HAVE TO…"

She stopped and chirped, "Dooo-lulululululululululululu…" She and Kana gasped, as Camie cringed, "Shit, not now!" She panicked, "Oh, my goodness! I wonder what that noise could have been!" She chirped, "Dooo-lulululululululululululu!" She growled, as she thought, "DAMMIT! Why do you have to call now, of all times? DO YOU WANT HER TO FIND OUT?"

Kana moaned, "What kind of game is this? Why are you making that noise? Wait a second…"

She grabbed her phone and roared, "WOULD YOU NOT BLOW ME UP, DUDE?! LIKE, WHAT IS SO DAMN IMPORTANT THAT YOU'RE CALLING ME, AT THIS MOMENT? YOU'RE GONNA BLOW MY FRICKING COVER, BRAH!"

Kana gasped, "No… I remember…"

Emily arrived, as Nanao said, "You came, Emily Maynard."

June cried, "EMILY! You and Okuma get back in the turtle! I can sense it! Do you?"

Emily asked, "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Okuma said, "No, she's right… I can sense it. She's here, nearby. We're not alone! That woman… There's no horrible feeling that I can feel…"

Kana asked Camie, "Wait… I know that feeling… You're…"

A car whizzed by, as Okuma's image appeared in Kana's sight. She gasped, "Okuma?"

Kana said, "I recognize you. I am glad you're so safe…"

Okuma cried, as they were still at the entrance, "I can feel it! The Boss! She's nearby!"

Beth called, "Tell me where she is! I'll hunt her down!"

June asked, "Can you tell us where she is, exactly?"

He moaned, "No… I don't… She suddenly appeared, but I cannot sense her anywhere!"

Camie called on the phone, as Haruhi said to her, "Excellent work. You achieved an excellent feat. However, I didn't expect anything short of perfection from you. Rest assured, Koumoto's eyes may assume to be fixed on you, but… she doesn't truly see you."

"Huh?" Camie asked, "But… I don't get it… She's a zombie?"

Haruhi explained, "I possess no insight on this, but what I do know is that Kana Koumoto is now a reanimated corpse. She lacks both a pulse and a working respiratory system. She's lost use of her eyes, and her eardrums were damaged during the fight with Mikan. The only thing she can see is you, Camie, only it's a rough outline of your soul. The only sounds she can hear are its vibrations. Physical objects are now invisible to her. She sees not the car, but the essence of the driver within."

Kana called, "Okuma, talk to me! Did something happen to you?"

Haruhi added, "It just so happens that the Okuma boy and I have near identical auras. And for the moment, I have cloaked you with mine. Koumoto presently believes she is looking at him. You must maintain this illusion! Let it be your personal guide, and have her taken to the Colosseum, and this secret meeting!"

Kana moaned, "Okuma?"

Camie said, "I'm so sorry… I got a little light-headed."

"I'm glad you're so safe. But there was another. Where did she go?"

"You mean that girl? Oh, that, well, she got in a hurry and fled. Don't worry, I'm at your side now."

Kana smiled, "Thank god… Okuma, I'm sorry that this nightmare has been coming to fruition."

"It's alright. For now, we have to get moving."

"You're right. I'm sorry, but…" She reached for Camie, "Could you give me a hand?"

Camie said, "Yes… I'll be glad to."

XXXXX

They arrived at the Colosseum, as Camie was holding Kana in her arms. They headed forward, as Kana moaned, "In the outskirts of Napoli, I… I have a house… It's my home away from home… I'm… not from Italy, in case you're wondering, Okuma… And… well… It isn't big, but… when this is all over… I was wondering if you'd live with me… from now on… Away from… your past… Moreover… I'm truly sorry about Ayame Kajou… You're more than welcome to live with me, from now on… once we succeed."

Camie nodded, as she thought, "Wait… Who's Ayame Kajou?"

Kana moaned, "You know, the area's pretty nice… Good eats and everything… and it's… close to the beach… I know that this has been one nightmare, but… I promise… a much brighter future is upon us…"

Kana may know it, but she suddenly confessed her love to Tanukichi. But, little does she know, she's talking to Camie.

Camie said, "Sounds nice. But let's stay focused, 'kay? Where shall we steer to?"

Kana said, "The stairs. Please… Take me to them."

Camie stopped, as she held the phone, "DO NOT TURN AROUND, CAMIE!" It was Haruhi! "Just keep going! Continue onward, as if nothing happened! Someone's here!"

Camie gasped, "EH?"

Haruhi responded, "Behind the stone pillars above… Someone is watching us. So, she really has a date with this mystery lady, did she? But who could they be? I have zero intel on this woman!"

Yamabuki appeared from above, hiding in the shadows, watching Camie and Kana.

Camie said, "How are you so sure that Mystery Chick is here, Boss? I mean, even if you're right… How am I supposed to figure out who they are, if we can't turn around!"

Haruhi said, "Look into Kana's eyes, at her reflection, while they still can! She's here, right behind you!"

Yamabuki called, "Yo-ho! Don't move! Ya looking fer a date with destiny, or yer looking fer some lesbian action, fam? I didn't come here ta see two lesbians, but show me yer boobs, and we'll be on yer way! But take one step closer ta those stairs, and I'll cancel our agreement!"

Camie saw Yamabuki, via Kana's eyes, and gasped, "GAH! You were right! Crap! There's someone here! Is… Is that a ninja?"

Kana cried out, "My name is Kana Koumoto! I've come here on arrangement to know of The Boss's weakness! I hope for you to keep your word!"

Yamabuki called back, "I trust in ya, but ya not allowed, at all! I refuse to give ya the secret, fam!"

"Wh-? Why not?"

"I said that one of ya must come here, alone… I didn't ask for a two-fer! Yer friend is trouble! I don't have any data about her!"

Kana asked, "Wait… This is Okuma! He's with me, and I'm-."

"Oh? Ya mean the chick is a dude? Yeah, right! Yer eyes are playing a game, Kana Koumoto!"

"But you don't understand! You're right! Tanukichi Okuma's not a member of the Famiglia! In fact, we met barely more than a few days ago! But as you can see… He's batting for us!"

Yamabuki snarled, "Okuma, ya say? The same boy that abandoned the Decency Nation Capital, only ta become a loner and pariah to all things decent? Ta my knowledge, that's a boy's name, fam."

Kana asked, "Your point?"

Camie sobbed, "Merda! I think the jig's up, Boss! Ninja Girl's, like, onto us!" Haruhi said, "Calm down. Listen, you must respond. Act furious at her, doubting your masculinity! DO IT!"

Camie roared in a deep male voice "OH? What's wrong, ya bitch? Can't see a guy with a gay body before? You act like yer shit, but yer not!"

Yamabuki gasped, and then whispered, "What kind of juicy act was that? That was terrible. But I know that it's a woman…" She called, "My deepest apologies, sir! I couldn't see well, with the light…" She thought, "I'll play along. Maybe she'll bust herself wide open… showing me her boobies…" She asked, "Is he a Stand User, by any chance?"

Camie yelped, as Kana said, "Yes, he is! We can trust him! But I think it's about high time to tell me who you are, ragazza! Let's talk about why and how you dragged me here!"

"No, not yet." Yamabuki said, "I like ta see his Stand, up-close and personal… But rather in the distance. And, Okuma, was it? I have no data on ya, so NO sudden movements!"

Camie gasped, and then thought, "Shit! What now?" Haruhi cried, "Damn it all! We're dealing with a seasoned ninja! It seems that she knows the potential of her enemy's range… Wait a minute… Ninja? What is she? How have I not heard of her before? But the name Ninja…"

Yamabuki called out, as Camie peeked, "What's wrong? Ya shy showing yer Stand? Perhaps ya can show me ya junk down there, fam! Nice and slow… maybe a full strip show… Hehehehehehe!"

Haruhi gasped, "Wait a minute…" She saw the arrow in Yamabuki's hand, "That's-! But how? How did she possess it?! That arrow… There's no doubt! It's the same artifact as I remembered!"

Yamabuki gasped, as she saw Camie's aura, "That aura… It's bloodlust and infuriating… This imposter has a melodious aura… but… NO WAY! It can't be!"

"Wait… That's right… I remember ninja… but the only ninja I know of is… NO! IT CAN'T BE! I have crossed paths with her! She utilized the arrow to track me down!"

They gasped in shock, saying in unison, "I REMEMBER!"

Cut to long ago, as men and researchers were working in Egypt, studying artifacts in the deserts and pyramids. Haruhi, dressed as a man in a white shirt and black pants, held up a box of arrows, from inside the sand.

(Haruhi): In Egypt, I unearthed a scattering of arrows, capable of awakening Stands. They were lost in time, roughly about a decade ago. I knew, simply from beholding them… They made a surge of entrancing energy. An old woman named Enyama Rumin came to me and purchased the arrows, in exchange for the secrets to them. In truth, I only needed one, so…

Haruhi kept one arrow, as she gave the rest to Enyama Rumin, in a small shop in Cairo.

(Haruhi): I sold her the other five for a generous sum.

Haruhi, cloaked in black shadows, was sitting in her couch, with a few mafia men laid down and dead.

(Haruhi): That is when I truly found what the old bag had uttered something bizarre about this arrow. The arrow CHOOSES people. And those that are chosen are bound by a curious force.

Cut to later, as Yamabuki, alongside Peter Giese & Steven Cooke, were in the ruins, investigating.

(Yamabuki): The 21st Century was nearing the final year of the second decade, as MIO was recently destroyed. At the time, my old friends, Peter Giese and Steven Cooke, and I were investigating the arrow which could awaken Stands, all over again… since the days of DIO. Word had reached out that some mysterious woman pilfered the arrows. So, we split up and scoured the globe for the bastard. The Gang returned to Asia and America to hunt for the mysterious Stands, and I went to Europe and Africa. I soon managed to learn of one of the arrows' whereabouts in Italy. According to my intel, a young man named Giorno Giovanna held the last of the arrows and kept it for himself, after fighting the evil mafia leader, Diavolo, nearly two decades ago; long before the Moji Mikisa was birthed, on the very same day that the lord and savior of Stands, Jotaro Kujo, has perished. It recently subsided the drug-ridden crimes in Italy, but reemerged… somehow.

Yamabuki killed a man, using Ninja Chariot, as he was a drug lord, in an alleyway.

(Yamabuki): I focused my search for her, in a region where juvenile drug deaths had seen an unusual jump, and kids have been addicted to drugs, like vape. That's when I knew we were close… However…

Haruhi's eye opened, and she held up a small building in her hands.

(Haruhi): In a few years, my syndicate, Alternativa, was growing under the cusp of perfection. It overruled and overpowered Passione, led by that mewling culo, Giorno Giovanna. My famiglia swore allegiance to me. I had men from every crevice of society… and I even recruited those that were driven into Despair. Then I discovered that SOMEONE was plotting to learn of my true identity.

Haruhi and Yamabuki finally met in the alleyway, as Haruhi's aura shone.

(Haruhi): In the end, I figured I should finish them off, myself. It was the only way. I made my decision.

Yamabuki and Haruhi fought, as they were in a stalemate, only Haruhi suddenly had a huge advantage.

(Yamabuki): Ultimately, I committed two fatal errors, during the fight with her. First, I failed to learn that her syndicate had already matured to full strength.

She was fighting, as she was bleeding.

(Yamabuki): Communications… The Government… The Press… Society had me completely isolated! Then came my second and gravest mistake!

Yamabuki attacked, as she cried, "NINJA CHARIOT!"

She sliced down with her katana, but Haruhi appeared from behind, using Crimson War Goddess, her Stand.

"Since you're about to die…" Haruhi whispered, "Let me tell you a simple fact…"

(Yamabuki): The woman who had unearthed those arrows… The power that she holds… Her Stand has been created, and her power is ten times even more diabolical than Diavolo's Stand, Emperor Crimson! She possessed a power many times more horrific than I could ever imagine!

"Long before your gaze comes to reach me!" Crimson War Goddess called, and then slashed at Yamabuki's face, cutting out her right eye.

Yamabuki croaked, "Her… ability… breaks time!"

Crimson War Goddess swung its arms and roared, "YOU'LL HAVE ALREADY LEFT THIS WORLD!"

SMASH!
Yamabuki was smashed from her arms and legs, and her body fell into the rocks, near the ocean. She croaked, "Has… all hope… perished… from Earth?"

Haruhi narrated, as Camie looked on, "I was certain that I finished the job! And suddenly, she would return from death, and with the arrow in her grasp, no less!"

Yamabuki yelled, "KANA KOUMOTO! THAT WOMAN'S NO FRIEND OF OURS!" Camie vanished, as Yamabuki cried, "Wha-? Where did she go? That bitch! KOUMOTO!" She thought, in panic, "She's gone… Damn! Where did she go? Was she just here? That little uninvited guest of yers! WHERE IS SHE?"

Kana looked around and gasped, "Okuma? Oh-? Okuma, where are you?"

"ANSWER ME, DAMMIT! WHERE THE HELL IS THAT SKANK THAT YA BROUGHT WITH YA?"

She suddenly saw a piece of her binoculars. It was rolling to her feet. She gasped, as her binoculars were all broken. She thought, "It can't be… She's here! Everything is in place, except the broken piece found its way here. It couldn't be… These movements!"

ZIP!
June suddenly reached the top, as she called, "Guys! Bad news! Did you feel that?"

Nanao asked, "What are you saying, June Nevins?"

June said, "That moment, back in Venezia. Time skipped forward… just like before!"

They all gasped, as June whispered, "This means one thing… She's already there! The Boss is here in the Colosseum! We won't make it! She has our guest within her range!"

Emily gasped, "K-Kana… No…"

Yamabuki ran to the stairs and looked down. Camie arrived at the stairs, as she stared down. She walked slowly and then unzipped her catsuit and said, exposing her cleavage, "I'm being tested…" She then produced a huge starry background all around her area, "In a moment… we will find out if I'm prepared to vanquish my past…" Her voice went deeper, as she said, "We've really only grown, once we've conquered our fears, wouldn't you say?"

Camie went behind the pillar, as her catsuit flew to the ground, upon leaving to the pillar. A woman emerged, fully clothed, from the other side of the pillar. The woman was wearing a dark brown school uniform with a pale beige bow. Her hair was long and dark brown, wearing an orange headband. She then smirked, as she turned to Yamabuki, who was horrified.

Her surroundings returned to normal, as she smiled, "Well, lovely to see you again… Yamabuki Suou."

Yamabuki gasped, "I know you…" She cried, "It… It's you!"

Yamabuki was face-to-face with the leader of the famiglia - Alternativa.

"HARUHI SUZUMIYA!" Yamabuki cried, as her eyes locked towards the mob leader that was once the leader of the SOS Brigade, and the most famous name in all of fandoms and AU territories. She was the god-like deity known as… Haruhi Suzumiya!

"Fascinating!" Haruhi said, "I cannot believe you'd still remember me, like last time. It's amazing how the past wriggles its way back, no matter how many pieces I might cut it up with. You amaze me. I never thought I'd meet with the same girl, more than once."

Yamabuki roared, "Why the fuck are ya here, ya harlot?"

"I'll be quite frank! I couldn't care less about how you managed to live, after I demolished your carcass! What I want to know, Yamabuki… is that little secret that you possess that you were supposed to show Koumoto and her ladies, right about now!"

"WALK UP THOSE STAIRS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, ASSHOLE! I'M ON THE HIGH GROUND, WHILE YA STUCK WAY DOWN THERE!"

"Why do you shrink from battling me?" Haruhi huffed, "Do I scare you? Has your spirit lost some of its vigor?"

Yamabuki bit her finger, and then bled out. Haruhi continued, "Or has your body started to wear out? Why don't you show me? What are you plotting with the arrow?"

Yamabuki thought, "This is impossible… She was just a girl, with huge boobies, and a hot sexy build… Was this all a disguise ta hide yer identity? Malodorous wench! WHEN DID YA GET SO CLOSE TA ME?"

Haruhi leapt up and roared, "THE HIGH GROUND IS MINE! EN GUARD! SAY YOUR GOODBYES TO THAT ARROW! ONCE I SEND YOU DOWN TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL, YOU'LL HAVE NO FURTHER NEED FOR IT!"

The blood dripped onto Yamabuki's thigh, showing a splotch of blood. But in a split-second, her blood showed many drops. This was Haruhi Suzumiya's ability to break time, courtesy of Crimson War Goddess.

"THERE! NINJA CHARIOT!" Yamabuki slashed around, and managed to nick Haruhi. She cried, "AAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Haruhi dropped to the stairway, and moaned, holding her wound, "Figured me out… But you won't last long… Still sharp as ever, I see… Even after I smashed your arms and legs off, and fed you like chum, down in the abyss… you and that Stand of yours. Seems you figured out my ability, too. You're trying to use the droplets of your own blood to track down my time-skipping abilities. You're so persistent, a moment's difference reveals so much."

Blood gushed out of her wound, as Yamabuki stood up, preparing for battle. Haruhi hissed, holding her shoulder, "Your grasp of time is masterful. Had I gone just a little bit closer, that wound would've been fatal."

Yamabuki gasped, "Unbelievable! How did Haruhi Suzumiya make it to the Colosseum, before the others? This is it, NOW OR NEVER! Whatever it takes, I must make the flames of hope stay alive, NO MATTER WHAT!"

She and Haruhi prepared for battle, and used her Stand to let out a gusher of wind, throwing her upwards. Haruhi hollered, "YOU DIED THE SECOND YOU WERE IN THAT RANGE! I'LL MAKE SURE YOU STAY THAT WAY!" She unleashed her Stand and chased after her. "CRIMSON WAR GODDESS!"

She broke time, again, and rewound Yamabuki's escape. She swung her wounded arm and covered Yamabuki's eyes with her own blood. Crimson War Goddess lurked behind Yamabuki, as she was frozen in time. "When the sands of time resume, you will no longer be able to look at your precious blood drops for guidance. Accursed mistake from my past!" It raised its arm and roared, "BEHOLD! THE ALMIGHTY HARUHI SUZUMIYA AND HER STAND WILL OBLITERATE YOU! DIE! ENJOY THE FATAL RELIEF THAT TIME WILL-!"

She chopped down, but she suddenly stopped at her head, and gasped. Her neck was cut with the arrow, as it melted a part of her skin, showing chrome plating. Haruhi gasped, "An android? No way… But… How… and why-? Wait… What's happening? The arrow… The Stand… This nonsense will cease!" She swung down and roared, "PERISH! HIYA-!"

SHING!
A huge light shone all around the area, as her Stand, Ninja Chariot, emerged from the neck wound, crawling off, with the arrow lodged in its neck. "This radiance!" She cried, as she shielded herself, "What happened to Ninja Chariot? Its sheer power! The arrow is bursting into it!"

Crimson War Goddess roared, "THIS ENDS NOW! TIME RESUMES ITS FLOW!"

Time resumed, as Haruhi sliced at Yamabuki's Stand, but it slithered off, retreating to the columns. Haruhi snarled, "Japanese rat! What now? Don't tell me… Is the arrow able to do more than draw the energy of the Stand?"

Yamabuki moaned, "It's a long shot, but there's no other way of keeping it from her, for so long… Looks like I'm resourced to my Trump Cards… However, I cannot deny the fact that I no longer fully control the arrow!"

Yamabuki removed the blood from her eyes, as Haruhi snarled, and then looked down, "You bitch! You would fool me? YOU CAN'T RUN!"

KAPOW!
Haruhi lands a huge kick to Yamabuki's solar plexus, fatally wounding her. She coughed out blood and fell over the railing, onto another part of the Colosseum, down below. Ninja Chariot retreated, as Yamabuki dropped another arrow, similar to the one Ninja Chariot stole.

"The arrow… is hope giving form… Whoever comes to control it… will be able to control the world…"

June felt it and gasped, "It… It happened again!"

Emily asked, "I felt it, too… What was that?"

Nanao said, "Maybe it's from over there… I cannot sense it. It's like… they passed time, like in a moment."

Emily cried, "Okuma, where did you sense The Boss?"

Yamabuki crashed down, as Haruhi looked down below, "All those wasted years… trying to uncover the mystery of the arrow. I'm surprised that you made it this far." She picked up the arrow on the ground where Yamabuki once stood, as she called out, "What an utter travesty! THE ARROW IS NOW MINE, YOU FOOL!"

Yamabuki giggled, as she was lifeless, "Fool… Who's the fool… now?" She smirked, as she whispered, "I… may never… use Ninja Chariot, anymore… but at least… the arrow… is safe… from yer grasp…" She giggled quietly, as she was powering down. Her vision faded to black, and her eyes closed halfway. Luckily, before Yamabuki took a fatal blow to her android body, she withdrew from battle. But… … … is it all too late?

Haruhi looked down at the broken android, with the arrow in hand, "What a pathetic doll… But even so, it did have her Stand and all in it. Her valiant heart has stopped beating, at last. If there was any solace, know that you did not die in vain. Still, how you are a robot now matters not to me, at all… now that you're dead. Dear Yamabuki Suou… You've done me a greater service than you'll ever realize. I tell you that, sincerely."

Okuma called, "JUNE! Look over there!" The others found Kana, wounded and hurt, as Okuma cried, "It's Kana!"

Emily cried, "OH, BOLLOCKS! I should've never left you alone with her! You okay? It's my fault!"

Nanao asked, "Kana Koumoto, are you alright?"

June cried, "KANA!"

Okuma cried, "Be careful! The Boss may be somewhere in the Colosseum!"

Haruhi thought, "So, Kana's men have made it, and they brought Okuma with them! It does not matter to me, anymore!" She prepared, "You've come, boy…"

Suddenly, she heard sounds of the rocks crumbling down. She gasped, "Huh?"

She saw a figure in black, marching slowly, without looking back. Haruhi cried, "WHAT?" She called, "YOU THERE! LOOK THIS WAY! WHO ARE YOU?"

The figure in black was walking, ignoring her pleas. Its neck has the marking of the arrow, the same spot as Yamabuki's neck. Who was this creature?

So, it looks like it's not over yet. Yamabuki's down, but not out… And the rest of our heroes found the lifeless and still-beating Kana… Worst comes to shove, the arrow is now in Haruhi's possession!
Or is it? And what is the secret behind this mysterious figure, marching around the Colosseum, like a living monster?

Find out in the next exciting chapter!

To be continued…
