Some say you have flashbacks of the good times in your life when you're moments away from dying. Some also say that you think about all of your regrets and past mistakes, while you try to forgive yourself for what you have done to the people you hurt. Blood was running down the side of Kanata's face as he thought about these things. There was a deep wound on his side that the Demon King had caused with one blow.

Why did Kanata react the way he did? Why did he push Takashiro away and take the hit when Takashiro meant nothing to him? The only answer Kanata could find behind his actions was because of the love he had for Yuki. To Yuki, Takashiro was an important person and that alone made Kanata want to keep Yuki from suffering the loss of a loved one. It was a bit humorous how he was willing to die to save someone else so Yuki wouldn't cry, but knowing Yuki he would still cry over Kanata after all of the things he had done to him.

Wounded but not defeated, Kanata stood his ground, shielding Takashiro with his body. He kept his gaze on the Demon King, not showing a single ounce of fear.

"I'm amazed with your willpower, Reiga. Unfortunately, it's not going to last very long." The Demon King didn't feel worried or intimidated by the two necromancers in front of him. He was the all powerful ruler of the demons and what he commanded was done.

Kanata knew he didn't stand a chance against his master, but he would do whatever it took to keep him busy, as long as Yuki was able to get out of the mansion alive, that's all that mattered.

"Even if I fall, God's Light will continue to live and fight against the evil that you spread in this world. I believe in Yuki, and I believe that he will bring you down to your knees and destroy you."

"It's apparent how God's Light has affected you Reiga. It was a mistake to have the both of you resurrect and meet one another. It's a mistake you're going to wish never happened."

The Demon King didn't hesitate to throw another powerful blow towards Kanata. This time, it was Takashiro who pushed Kanata away and barely got hit by the attack. The two collapsed on the ground, injured and blood stained. It was a pitiful sight – two necromancers who had continuously fought against each other, were now working side by side to overthrow the wicked force that was known as the Demon King.

Takashiro looked over at Kanata who was trying to steady his breathing. He could tell that Kanata had already used a good amount of his power to stay alive. If they didn't think of a plan to defeat the Demon King, they would end dead in a matter of moments.

"What's wrong you two? Is that all the fight you had left?" The Demon King asked with an amused voice.

"It's not over yet…" Kanata replied. He slowly started to lift himself up, trying his best to fight against the pain that was spreading through his body. He hadn't felt so vulnerable since the time he fought against Cadenza for disobeying him. Fighting against a General Class Dura wasn't as bad as facing the demon that created them. Mustering up some of the energy he still had, Kanata stretched out his hand and started to recite a chant.

Takashiro listened as Kanata spurred out the words of a spell he felt like he heard before. It took him some time to realize that the chant was among the forbidden – the spells that could cause enormous harm to the opponent as well as the necromancer. He didn't feel the need to think twice as he stood up punched Kanata to the ground.

"What do you think you're doing Reiga?!"

"You of all people should know Takashiro. It's the only way we can win against this beast."

"Have you forgotten that you can't die here? If I let you die, Yuki will never stop feeling like it was somehow his fault. Do you want him to suffer more then he already has?"

Kanata looked at Takashiro's menacing face. He saw a hint of sorrow behind Takashiro's glaring eyes, sorrow that told Kanata to fight not only to win but also to live. But would Kanata be able to have the cake and eat it too? Would he be able to stop the Demon King and stay alive to live a happily ever after like in the many stories he had read to Yuki?

The Demon King sighed, bored and no longer interested in the two necromancers that were feet away from him. "I'm tired of playing these games. It's about time we end this once and for all." The Demon King conjured up a powerful red orb within his claw and threw it at the two. Takashiro threw up his hands and summoned as much power as he could to block the upcoming attack.

At that moment, a flash took over the entire room. Kanata's eyes automatically shut themselves, unable to look at the light that surrounded them. He didn't know what happened. He didn't know if he was still alive or already dead, but he got his answer when he felt a strong arm wrap around him from behind. The warm feeling radiating off of the person behind him was all too familiar.

"I'm sorry I took so long to come to your aide, Reiga-sama."

"Luze…"

The flash of light slowly started to disappear. Kanata opened his eyes and saw Luka standing in front of Takashiro with a dark and ominous purple aura around him with Sodom standing next to him. He looked back at Luze who also had the same powerful aura surrounding his body. The brothers had a strong presence within the room that was enough to match that of the Demon King.

It was the first time Takashiro and Kanata had seen the two brothers together. They were indeed the most beautiful Opasts, each with his own personality and way of living. Kanata felt at ease knowing that the man he loved was safe. He thought he was never going to see him again, and yet there they were, together and ready to fight beside each other.

"Luka…" Takashiro looked at the Opast with a serious look. He still believed that Luka had betrayed them and Yuki. Luka turned to look at the necromancer.

"Yuki is safe. The Zweilts should be out of here by now."

"Then why are you here? I thought I told you to leave with Yuki," Kanata said in confusion.

"I promised Yuki I'd find and protect you. He's waiting for us to get out of here…All five of us."

Kanata didn't know how to respond to those words. Yuki, who had always had pain in his heart, always thought about the people he loved and cared about, even if they had hurt him before. That kind and gentle nature of his was what the Zweilts called God's Light. Kanata felt his chest clench with a strong emotion of happiness. His childhood friend still wanted him in his life after so much torment and betrayal.

Smiling, Kanata began to stand up while Luze helped him to his feet. It was clear that the end to this never ending battle had finally arrived. Now all they needed to do was stop the evil force behind the corruption of the world. Perhaps they couldn't destroy the Demon King, but they could at least make him become weak so he wouldn't be able to cause damage for a while.

With his mind prepared to take on the task, Kanata looked at Takashiro with an intense gaze. The necromancers didn't need to speak in order to understand what they had to do. Nodding his head, Takashiro looked at the Demon King with a new determination in his eyes. Kanata did the same, this time ready to truly give it his all.

Luka and Luze also didn't need to say anything since they saw what the necromancers were about to do. They looked at each other for a brief moment, knowing what they had to do in order to stop the nightmare that the Demon King had created.

The four men stood tall, side by side, their powers increasing after every second. The ground beneath them began to tremble uncontrollably. The ceiling was starting to break, pieces falling to the ground around them and breaking on the floor.

"What's happening?!" Elegy yelled out as she looked around at the cracking walls.

Cadenza also looked around. He could feel the level of power that was being unleashed. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. The General Class Duras were too occupied with what was going on, that they didn't notice Tsukomo readying his gun and firing one after the other. Elegy and Cadenza were both hit and bound to a cross. Toko didn't waste any time and ran towards them with her sword ready to strike. Piercing her sword through Cadenza and then through Elegy, the General Class Duras couldn't do anything but scream as they became ashes and fell to the ground.

Outside, the mansion was crumbling. Ria, Senshirou, Kuroto, Sairi and Yuki watched from a distance. It was only going to take a few minutes before the mansion collapsed to the bottom. Yuki watched in fear, praying that everyone would make it out before it was too late.

The Demon King summoned another orb of power as he watched in astonishment the sight before him. The necromancers and the Crosszeria brothers were combining their powers to create an incredible force. There was also a hint of another power, one the Demon King despised and feared at the same time…It was the power of God's Light.

The cross Yuki had given Luka was dangling on his black chain and had an aura of its own. The warm orange glow that surrounded it grew, nearly blinding the Demon King with its bright light. The Demon King growled and threw his power orb at the men. Takashiro and Kanata summoned their red and blue dragons while Sodom took his dragon form and went for the attack. The powers collided and created a bright flash that once again took over the room.

Tsukomo and Toko ran out of the crumbling mansion. As they were getting further away, a loud explosion filled the area and caused them to fall. The mansion started to collapse, dust and debris moving all around.

Yuki watched in horror, afraid that it was indeed the end. Tears began to form in his eyes as he started to run towards the falling mansion. Sairi and Kuroto quickly grabbed onto him and held him back. Yuki struggled, wanting to break free and find Luka, Sodom, Kanata, Takashiro and Luze. He didn't want to believe that they were gone.

"Yuki, look!" Ria shouted.

Yuki looked towards the direction Ria was pointing at. His eyes went wide as he saw the debris and dust moving away to reveal Luka, Takashiro, Kanata, Luze and Sodom unharmed and protected by an orange shield. Another shield was protecting Shusei and Hotsuma who had been searching and fighting off Duras throughout the chaos. The tears that had formed in his eyes started to roll down his face, not because of sadness, but rather in utter happiness that the people he loved were alive.

Toko and Tsukomo ran up to the rest of the Zweilts with smiles on their faces, wanting to show Yuki that everyone had made it out. The Zweilts were relieved. Everyone was alright and the Demon King was gone.

Kanata fell to his knees, exhausted after using a high percentage of his power. Luze bent down beside him and looked at Kanata with a relieved smile. "We made it Reiga-sama. It's all over."

Kanata smiled and looked to the side. He could see Yuki standing in the distance and could see the warm smile and tears of joy that rolled down his face.

"Yes…It's also a new beginning…" Kanata replied.

"Reiga, Luze…" Kanata and Luze looked at Takashiro who looked back at them with a smile. "Welcome to the Giou Clan."
