Janusu Kirubi's actions has just costs the lives of Izumi's elder sister and both Koji and Koichi…and this is a big blow to the former "Legendary Warriors", with two members down, the remaining foursome must now pool their resources to find out who killed their friends, though the clues leading to Kirubi has been thwarted…
Much later, the Kanbara family arrived unexpectedly just as Takuya and Izumi got dressed and they greeted each other, and Mrs. Kanbara invited the blond-haired beauty to stay for dinner, which she accepted, and while dinner is being served, the door banged and as Mr. Kanbara opened it, it was Tomoki, and he hurried inside with a shocking news to greet his classmates.
"BAD NEWS...! Izumi...I happened to pass by a crime scene...and both Koji and Koichi are found dead...and another corpse is also found...and through her ID, she is identified as your elder sister...she's been murdered as well...!"
"Wh...what? NOOOO!"
"WHAT? No...Koji and Koichi...how can this be...? It just can't be!"
The couple joined Tomoki as the trio ran outside and the trio boarded a bus which is heading to the crime scene, while Takuya's parents were shocked to hear this, saddened that Koji and Koichi were killed, and now the killings have further intensified and prayed that Takuya won't be the next to fall victim to the serial killer...
Several minutes later, at the scene of the crime, Izumi wailed in tears as her elder sister's corpse has been carried on the stretcher while Takuya and Tomoki were stunned, and emotionally shaken at seeing Koji and Koichi's dead bodies right before their eyes, and Junpei, who just arrived, was already there when he happened to pass by the area and was the one who called Tomoki to inform the others about this. He was clenching his fists as seeing his friends being murdered.
"I can't believe my eyes…someone killed Koji and Koichi, and then Izumi's elder sister…we got ourselves a serial killer…and we have no idea on who is responsible for this…!"
"We have to be careful..and ready..."
"I agree..."
As the bodies are taken away, Junpei reluctantly told Takuya that they'll have to go home for now and regroup tomorrow to discuss what to do next, and suggests that they need to come up with a way to anticipate the killer's next move, which Takuya agreed to, and so Tomoki and Junpei left, while Takuya escorts Izumi home to her parents.
A week later, Takuya, Izumi, Tomoki and Junpei were among those who attended Koji and Koichi's funeral, and the twin siblings' families were visibly saddened by their passing, and the ex-"Legendary Warriors" were visibly saddened by this yet they had to stay strong and endure the emotional paid they are experiencing right now. after several hours, the ceremony ended and everyone left the cemetery, with only the four teens remained, and vowed to their friends' graves that they will solve this case and bring the killer to justice, and offered a silent prayer before leaving the cemetery.
-x-
A few days later, the funeral for Izumi's elder sister took place and Takuya and the rest was there to attend the funeral and Takuya personally assured to Izumi's parents that they'll find the suspect which Mr. and Mrs. Orimoto thanked him for being there for their youngest daughter's side.
At the secret laboratory, the scientist and his assistant were having an argument on what to do with a now returned Kirubi while he undergoes "hibernation", though he could hear them arguing yet he is ignorant given his psychological condition.
"…and I say there is nothing for you to worry about…"
"Yes I do…! He has killed a few…and just a few days ago…he just killed a college student and even a pair of junior high school student! If they find out that Kirubi is here…we'll be in trouble! I now realize that getting a Nobel Prize may not be worth it as long as we keep on hiding this…freak…here in this lab…"
"Are you planning to tell them…?"
"If I would…but then I'll be dragged in to this mess…"
"You won't as long as you won't tell anyone…fine…if he kills another victim and if I confirm it…I'll dispose him myself…just let me do this since I'm the one who brought him here…and I promise I'll keep an eye on him…"
"…fine…"
At a parking lot, Takuya, Izumi, and Junpei assembled as Tomoki arrived, and showed them his laptop, where, with a help of "an informer", gave them a quite shocking analysis as to what results he got, via his laptop, and this was a very shocking analysis the gang have heard, and a heated debate ensued after, especially as this involves the now-deceased Koji and Koichi.
"Here's the results of the analysis I got…and believe this or not…the fingerprints found on Koji and Koichi...and on Izumi's elder sister's neck matches that of the fingerprints of the other victims that Takuya and Izumi encountered…and it all points out to one person…Jansu Kirubi…the same killer who went berserk at the town our friends encountered…"
"No way! He's already dead!"
"Takuya's right! He succumb to several gunshot wounds…"
"And we even saw his corpse at the morgue!"
Tomoki sighed, as he too saw it too, but then he couldn't help but cast a shadow of a doubt, especially after showing to them his analysis, and after repeated examinations, he knew he isn't wrong about the results he got. He is never wrong since he got this answer from a "reliable source".
"I didn't want to believe this, either…but after spending 30 minutes reviewing the data I received…there's no doubt in my mind…the fingerprints belonged to Kirubi…I don't know why…but I have a feeling that he's still alive…and there is no way that two separate persons bearing the same fingerprints…I think we should pay the morgue another visit…"
"Okay…I'll go with you…Junpei, you and Izumi go home. We'll handle this…"
"Got it."
"Be careful, you two..."
Later that night, the scene shifts at the morgue, where Takuya and Tomoki paid a surprise visit and Supararu's assistant was getting a little nervous as Takuya wanted to see Kirubi's corpse again, which he obliged, leaving his laptop open, which he is working on Supararu's formula on his super serum, and as the teen is being led to the corpse, Tomoki then glanced at the laptop and saw the "formula" and out of curiosity, he copied them on his USB flashdisk and then joined Takuya in seeing the Kirubi's corpse.
There Takuya called someone and it turn out to be an investigator who has "close ties" with the teen's relatives, and there the investigator took some of the corpse's fingerprints and then checked the body's pulse just to be sure, and they confirmed it, but as they left, Kirubi's eyes opened and glanced at Tomoki, and then closed his eyes again. He now has his eyes set on someone. As the two ex-"Legendary Warriors" left, the assistant then checked on his laptop and learned that it has been tampered, and realized that Tomoki might have copied it. As he went inside the morgue area, he was surprised to see that Kirubi's body is gone, and realized where it might be going.
"Oh no…could this be what I think this is…? Does Kirubi developed a homing ability…? What will I do if this is the case…? Darn it…if Supararu is unwilling to put a stop to this…I will…!"
Later in the night, Tomoki and the "investigator" have just completed their analysis on the formula he found on Supararu's assistant's laptop, and this shocked them big time, as they learned that the formula is about increasing a person's stamina and giving him near-invulnerability powers that he could withstood gunshot wounds and strength. And after analyzing Kirubi's corpse via his fingerprints, he now confirms that this is the one that matches Kirubi's past fingerprints and now he has a bad feeling about the whole thing: is Kirubi really alive?
Downstairs, Kirubi managed to track down Tomoki's place and he stealthily killed the members of the Himi Family as he killed them one by one and then went to reach the boy's bedroom to kill him off. As the killer made his way through the room, Tomoki was shocked to find out that his suspicions are true.
"No way…Kirubi…he is alive!"
The investigator then ordered Tomoki to get out of house while he hold out Kirubi as the two began to fight it out inside the room. As Tomoki left, he took the laptop with him and ran, not looking back as he needed to call his friends and alert them of the discovery he made. After some 20 minutes, they managed to reach a park, and Tomoki was sending an e-mail to his friends' e-mail addresses along with the formula, and then texted them his SOS message. He hoped that these messages would reach them as he was unsure if he could make it out alive.
"Darn it…how did he know where I live? First Koichi and Koji…now me…I have to stay alive to prove to them that Kirubi is alive and committed the murder spree…! I won't let my friends get killed…and that Supararu…he's been harboring that maniac all this time and even used an experimental formula to keep him alive…!"
Tomoki's musing was interrupted as Kirubi shows up, his clothes bloodied, indicating that the investigator is killed and before he could react, Kirubi caught him and began to strangle him to death. His grip is so strong due to the strength Kirubi got from the formula that Tomoki couldn't break free. Tomoki was already fading due to lack of oxygen, and that his neck is already being crushed.
"Sorry, Takuya…I couldn't…get to you…hope my e-mail and text messages…will be your…FINAL…clue…"
Tomoki is now dead, and Kirubi then grabbed the laptop and destroyed it, then left as if nothing has happened, and now the ex-"Legendary Warriors" have been narrowed down to three, and within 30 minutes the passerby passed and are in shock as they shrieked out loud at seeing what just happened. They even screamed louder seeing this and called police to find the killer, who is already gone.
To Be Continued...
Now Tomoki is the next to die, which leaves the gang down to three.
But he did left two vital clues to help in exposing Kirubi. Will the gang be able to figure this out on time?
