Luka could feel Yuki's body tremble with fear as they continued to make their way through the Duras. He tried his best to fight and make sure that Yuki was okay. Sodom followed his master's lead and fought against numerous Duras that crossed their path. It seemed almost impossible that they would be able to make it out safely, but Luka had hope that they would get through it. He wasn't sure if it was his own mind that thought that way or if it was Yuki's presence that was giving him a light at the end of the tunnel.
The floor was growing hotter as another minute passed. It was growing more dangerous for them to stay enclosed inside the mansion. Glancing down at Yuki's closed eyes; Luka knew that he had to keep his promise. He wouldn't let Yuki be taken away from him again. This time, they were going to be together and live happily ever after.

Luze slammed against the wall and slid down to the floor. His power was slowly starting to wear out on him. Although he was an Opast, Cadenza and Elegy were gifted with extra power by the Demon King in order to do his bidding. Luze looked up at his two enemies who were grinning right back at him. He hated to feel weak. He hated being looked down upon. Not too long ago he was also obeying the Demon King's orders just as Reiga was…but it had all changed because of one night.
A night that made Luze re-evaluate his life and his desires. The man that had awoken something in him that he never thought he'd feel was in danger. There was no time to be defeated. Luze slowly started to get up and stretched his hand out next to him. A long black and silver sword started to appear as he grabbed onto it. His power moved to surround the blade while he firmly kept his gaze on Cadenza and Elegy.
Without a second of hesitation, Luze quickly moved towards the two and slashed his sword. Cadenza and Elegy moved and countered the attack. Elegy threw her whip and had it wrap around Luze's sword. Cadenza took the opportunity to slash his sword against Luze's waist. Luze grit his teeth while he tried to pull his sword away.
"It's over Luze. It's too bad we couldn't have some fun together," Cadenza said as he moved his sword and hovered it over Luze.
Luze held his hand up, getting ready to hit Cadenza with some of his power. It was at that moment that a gun shot was heard. Luze's eyes went wide as did Cadenza's and Elegy's. The red haired male looked to the side, surprised to see Tsukomo and Toko standing a few feet away. Behind them, Hotsuma and Shusei were also ready to attack.
"So the Zweilts finally came to play," Cadenza said with a smirk. "This is going to be a lot more fun then I thought."
"Where's Yuki?!" Toko yelled as she readied her sword in front of her.
"Why don't you worry more about yourself you flat-chested girl," Elegy replied with a small laugh. Toko grew furious and was ready to strike. Luze took the chance to slip away and run off. Cadenza and Elegy looked back at him, about to strike when Toko and Tsukomo moved in to attack. They quickly took their attention away from Luze and towards the Zweilt pair.
"Hotsuma, Shusei, go after him!" Toko yelled as her sword got caught by Elegy's whip. Hotsuma and Shusei nodded their heads as they quickly moved past the four and down the hall. Luze kept running until he was met with a dead end. How he didn't know that the route he took would lead him to nowhere surprised him. It must have been due to his worry over Kanata.
"There's nowhere to go now Opast," Hotsuma said. Luze turned around as he came face to face with Hotsuma and Shusei. "Tell us where Yuki is."
"He's with Luka," Luze replied.
"Where did that backstabber take him?!" Hotsuma responded.
"Luka didn't betray you. He only pretended to betray you in order to protect God's Light."
"I don't believe you!" Hotsuma yelled out.
"Luka's the last person who would betray God's Light. He loves him too much. Instead of thinking I'm lying to you, go find Luka and help him and God's Light out of here."
Hotsuma grew angrier, but before he could do anything, Shusei placed his hand on his shoulder. Hotsuma looked back at him and noticed that his partner was looking at Luze with a serious face. "He's not lying Hotsuma."
"What do you mean he's not lying?! He's the enemy!"
"He was fighting against Cadenza and Elegy. That's enough proof that he's trying to help Yuki."
"That's complete bullshit Shusei! Luka and him are both trying to kill Yuki!"
"If it helps you believe me, I now understand why Luka protects God's Light so much…Love is a powerful emotion, something I didn't understand before…but now, I do. Just like Luka, I want to save the person I love from harm. You two find Luka while I go find Kanata."
Hotsuma's and Shusei's eyes went wide. The serious look on Luze's face showed them that what he was saying was all true. Hotsuma mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you love Kanata?"
Luze looked down, "Yes."
Shusei and Hotsuma looked at each other for a moment and then looked back at the Opast. "Please find Kanata and help him and Takashiro-sama defeat the Demon King," Shusei said. Luze nodded his head and quickly ran past the two.
"Do you think we did the right thing?" Hotsuma asked, still a bit unsure.
"Yes…He has the same look in his eyes that Luka has whenever he talks about Yuki."
"Then you believe that Luka is still on our side?"
Shusei looked at his partner and nodded, "Luka always vowed to protect Yuki. I know that Yuki must believe him, so I will too."
"Then let's go find them. We need to get the hell out of here."
Shusei nodded again as the two ran off and continued their search for Yuki.

Luka, Yuki and Sodom made it through the multiple Duras that were trying to block their way. As Luka continued to run, he noticed two Zweilt pairs fighting off the Duras that were in their way.
"Yuki."
Yuki opened his eyes and looked up at Luka. He looked towards the front and saw the two Zweilt pairs feet away. Kuroto, Senshirou, Ria and Sairi were fighting against the Duras that were trying to attack them. The Zweilts all noticed Luka's power approaching and were surprised to see that Yuki was with him.
"Yuki!" Ria shouted as she destroyed another Dura.
Luka and Sodom ran towards the group. Luka increased his power, making sure that every Dura around them would be destroyed. They all shattered into pieces and vanished, leaving the Zweilts, Sodom, Luka and Yuki all alone.
"Yuki!" Senshirou yelled out in happiness. Kuroto readied his sword while he looked seriously at Luka.
"Put Yuki down," Kuroto said.
"Luka's not our enemy! He didn't betray us!" Yuki shouted out, hoping his friends would understand.
"He betrayed us and let you get hurt while you were here. We won't trust him," Sairi replied also ready to attack.
"But….!"
"It's okay Yuki. It's only natural that they feel that way. All I ask is that you take Yuki and get out of here."
"Luka!"
"I made a promise to you Yuki, that I'd make sure you made it out of here safely and that I'd save Kanata. You'll be safe with the Zweilts. It's time for me to keep my second promise." Yuki looked up at Luka with a sad look on his face. Luka looked down at him with a smile. "I'll be okay. We're all going to make it out of this."
Tears started to form in Yuki's eyes. The thought of leaving Luka and letting him face danger alone scared him. Luka saw the worry in his eyes. He didn't want to part from Yuki either, but he had made a promise that he'd save Kanata. Slowly, Luka started to lean down and pressed his lips against Yuki's. At that moment, he didn't care if other people witnessed a side of him he never showed anyone other then Yuki. All he wanted was to reassure Yuki that everything was going to be okay.
Leaning away, Luka kept the smile on his face as he looked down at his lover. Yuki was blushing a little from the surprise kiss, but slowly started to smile back. The Zweilts looked at the two in surprise. Ria and Senshirou eventually smiled, now knowing that Luka was indeed still on their side. Luka made his way over to Sairi.
"Make sure Yuki doesn't touch the ground. Carry him until you're out of this mansion."
"Gladly," Sairi replied with a smirk as he grabbed onto Yuki. "We'll make sure this princess makes it out of here alive."
"P-Princess?" Yuki said in embarrassment. Ria and Senshirou laughed while Kuroto smiled a little, glad to see that Yuki was okay. The mansion floor began to tremble as the walls started to shake.
"Sodom, let's go," Luka said.
"Be careful," Yuki said.
Luka nodded his head and quickly ran off with Sodom by his side. The Zweilts also turned around and started to run the opposite direction. Yuki watched as Luka and Sodom disappeared from his sight. He closed his eyes and prayed that everyone he loved and cared about would be safe.
