Okay guys, a little side note: This is the SAD ALTERNATIVE. If you don't wanna read it, just wait for the next. But if you do, here we go. It will be followed by an sad epilogue featured only in Mikan's POV. This chapter, although, if it goes as planned, will have several POVs.

Well, enjoy. And get ready to cry. Cuz I'm listening to J. Arthur's Impossible while writing this chapter, sooo... You can imagine it.


The group appeared in front of a castle. With a quizzical look, Shiki turned to Gekihen and the girl nodded. She approached the castle a bit only to see two guards in front of the entrance. She made the group a sign to move to the back, and everyone followed her. She stopped after they walked for about ten minutes. The castle was surrounded by a river, crocodile swiming around. Gekihen sweared and looked around. She bit her lip and took out an arrow. She put it on her bow and aimed at a far corner of the river. She electrified the end of the arrow and released the arrow. In question of seconds, the crocodiles fell on the bottom of the river.

'' Are they dead?'' Misaki asked.

'' If my operations are right, they are unconscious for about five minutes. Just the time we need.'' Gekihen said and made the water raise, creating ice stairs. She made the others a sign to get up. The stairs led to a window. The first one was Shiki. He climbed the stairs quickly while Gekihen was aiming at the river, electrified arrow ready once again, mumbling numbers and operations under her nose. Once Shiki was up, he made the others a sign to get up, and everyone climbed the stairs. One of the Crocodiles woke up, looking dizzy and looked directly at Gekihen.

'' Guys, hurry. I can't send the arrow until all of them are conscious again. If I send it now, I'll kill them.'' Everyone started to climb the stairs quicker, but they were getting weaker with every step. Gekihen had her entire mind on it, but her powers were somehow weak. The other crocodiles woke up in a matteer of seconds, and soon, Gekihen sent the other arrow, leaving the crocodiles unconscious again. She created a Tsunami and hopped on it. When the tsunami was near the window, she jumped and landed in the castle. Everyone was waiting for her. She looked around. No sign of guards.

'' Okay.'' She whispered. '' Don't forget it guys: We divide here. The people who have life draining alice use it if it is in EXTREME need. Let's hope we can find Crassovic and take her down before some of ours die. Good luck.'' Everyone nodded and they divided in the groups they had already done. Hayate was with Natsume, Gekihen was with Clay, Shiki with Rui, et cettera...

Natsume POV

The place was huge, no doubt. Come to think it belonged to the ESP's evil clone. The halls were empty. Hayate was mumbling something tthat I didn't come to understand. We wandered on the fifth floor, looking for something. But nothing by far. Our guns were making dull metallic sounds while hitting the armour. I was asking myself what Mikan was doing right now. Was she still crying? Who was comforting her? Were they okay? And most important of all: Was she safe?

The thought of Mikan being imprisioned and sent somwhere else as a slave made me furious. We heard people talking and we stopped, hiding in a room. They waited until the voices were lost and went out. We walked but found nothing, until...

Clay Pov (I'm gonna write some words in Italian in this POV 'cuz I'm cool :3 I'm using the Google Tr., if you ask xD)

La ragazza that walked next to me was visibly nervious. The arrow and bow in her hands were shaking furiously. It was clear that something in this castello was disturbing her, or at least making her nervous.

As we walked, a guard popped out of nowhere and started shooting. We crouched and rolled behind a wall, taking out our weapons. La ragazza pointed at the guard with her bow and let the arrow go, but it had no use. She swore and took out her dagger.

'' Cover me.'' She mumbled and prepared to jump out, but then, someone caught her.

'' Where do you think you are going, my love?''

Misaki POV

Me and Tsubasa walked silently through the halls, making the less noise possible. He was mumbling something under his nose, which made me think his state of panic was crytical. He NEVER mumbled something, he always made sure people hear him. We heard guns shooting and raised our weapons quickly. Someone just got some action. We walked down the hallway, moving slowly and cautiously. A loud bang! Was heard and Tsubasa fell on the floor. I turned around. There was blood on the floor. Tears filled my eyes, wanting me to run. I bent next to him, shaking him, hopiing he did suurvive, even though I knew he didn't. Then, I blacked out.

Normal POV.

The final countdown has begun.

10.

Natsume woke up tied to a chair, as a start. Everything was black. He heard shots and yells, and his head was a chaos. He tried to remember what happened, but his mind acted as if it was covered by a black, thick vail, keeping his memories of before, what? 1 hour? A day? away.

He tried to use fire to burn the ropes, but it was no use.

'' Don't try it, Hyuuga. The ropes are Alice resistant.'' A familiar voice said. Someone lit the room and he saw two familiar faces: Gekihen and Misaki, still unconscious. '' I see you're the first in waking up. I expected no less. You're strong and witty, and you fight for what's yours. Truly, an admirable combination.'' Natsume recognised the face and his eyes widened. In front of him was standing Shuichi Sakurano. He had changed since the last time they saw. His silky blond hair wasn't there anymore, replaced by blondish spikes. His before clean face was now covered in some beard, making him seem older. Someone moved around and Natsume saw Gekihen and Misaki waking up. All of them had dazed faces and quizzical looks. Sakurano moved to Gekihen and she growled at him.

'' You have changed.'' She said with such cold and hatred full tone even the worst terrorist would back up.

9.

Sakurano laughed as if she had sayed something incredibly funny.

'' And I see you are still the same, I see.'' He walked around her, passing his hand through her shoulders. '' Arrogant, yet cold and cocky attitude. Nothing has changed.''

'' Stay away from me.'' She said. Judging by her face, she wanted to kill him.

'' Why should I?'''He asked and leaned in. She quickly raised her foot hit him right in the most painful spot. He crouched in pain and Gekihen smiled an arogant smile full of victory. She tried to take off her ropes, but it was no use. She couldn't reach her dagger, either, so she was completely trapped, like Misaki and Natsume.

8.

After recovering from the pain of Gekihen's foot, Sakurano moved to Misaki. She still had tears in her eyes as she remembered Tsubasa's death.

'' Why are you crying, rabbit?'' Sakurano teased. She tried to kick him, but he was fast and moved away. '' Nah-ah, I ain't fallin' for the same trick twice. I ain't that stupid.''

'' Well it seems you are.'' Natsume said. Sakurano bruskly turned to him and caught his neck.

'' What did you say, boy?'' He asked, drawing a dagger to Natsume's neck.

'' I said that you seem stupid.'' Natsume repeated through clenched teeth.

'' Well.'' Sakurano let him go. '' You just wrote yor death contract, boy. As you must know, all of you will die.''

7.

Natsume, Gekihen and Misaki's eyes widened as they heard the sentence. They were going to get killed! And they had exactly no escape since they were tied up with Anti Aliice ropes.

'' Who should I start with first?'' He aked himself, drawing circles with the dagger on his hands. '' Should it be you?'' He looked over Misaki. '' Or you?'' He looked at Gekihen. '' Well. I guess I can start with Ando's girlfriend, so that she could join her boyfriend.''

Sakurano moved to Misaki like a lion moving to its prey. He was holding the dagger up to his neck, a psychotic look on his face. Misaki tried to push him away, yet effortlessly, but he ended up in front of her.

'' Just bite your tongue my dear. It might hurt...'' He laughed before finsihing '' A LOT!'' He stuck the dagger onto the space where her lip ended and started to cut the upper part of her head. The agonizing yells coming from Misaki were horrible and Natsume and Gekihen wished they were the first to die. This was the first time in life Natsume felt scared, and he didn't like the feeling. Mixed with Misaki's yells was the hysterical laugh of Sakurano. Natsume looked at him just for a second to see the most horrible thing in his life. The yells had stopped, but on hat cost! Misaki was dead, and Sakurano was removing her upper face, throwing it away. His laughs echoed in the room and Natsume was pretty sure they echoed through the full castle.

5.

Gekihen's mind raced as she realized it was her turn. If Misaki's death was this horrible, how horrible was hers going to be? How come she dated a psycho like that. He slowly turned around and she realised some things she didn't before. He was wearing a white shirt which was now stained with Misaki's blood. His hair spikes were half blond, half red, and she didn't know if they were dyed red or if it was blood.

'' One down, two more to go.'' Sakurano said and threw himself on Gekihen. She screamed, but it quickly escalated into an agonizing yell as he stuck the dagger in her left eye, moving it left and right. Her sight went blurry and her head became numb to all sorts of thinking. And after what seemed an eternity, all kind of power lost her and her life slowly and painfully slipped away. This was her ending. When Sakurano noticed she was dead, he moved to her mout, took out her tongue and cut it.

4.

Natsume was terrified. Misaki and Gekihen were dead. The others were fighting. He was alone with a psychopath. This was definetly not his day. And maybe it was his last day. Sakurano turned to him and Natsume yelled. He was not only Blood covered, but he had something resembling a purple iris on his shirt.

'' Why are you yelling, dear boy?'' He asked. He walked slowly to him and crouched. '' I'm doing this for your good. This world is way to cruel for you. Look, they are happy somwhere else now. They are safe now. Soon you'll be safe too.''

Natsume shook and shook in panic while Sakurano was nearing the dagger to his eye. But then, he quickly took out his tongue. Natsume needed a second to comprehend that he was going to do the smae with him that with Gekihen's dead body: Cut his tongue. He tried to kick Sakurano, but the guy seemed numb to pain in that moment. After what seemed an eternity of fighting Natsume got tired and Sakurano used the moment to slice his tongue.

The pain was unbearable. It felt as if all the times you fell on your knees or sliced your finger accidentally were bought together and multiplied by 3. He could feel the metallic flavour of blood fill his mouth and he wanted to die in the moment.

'' Huh?'' Sakurano said. '' Not safe yet? Let's end this quicker with you.''

That said, he started to stab numerous times Natsume's abdomen until Natsume felt that Death had finaly came for his soul. With stretched out arms and mixed feelings, he accpeted Death as an old friend, thanking every god for this fast death.

3.

Clay and the others heard yells from downstairs. They finished off the guards and the group ran down to the room where the yells came from.

'' Aspetti!'' Clay yelled to the others. '' Let me in first. If there is someone, I'll let you know.''

The others nodded in agreement and backed away holding Crassovic tight.

Clay entered the room and sweared to all he knew, as the most terrifying scene came up to his eyes.

2.

La ragazza was tied to a chair, her left eye bleeding, but yet missing, her mouth opened and her tongue cut. Opposite her, there was a girl, or at least he supposed it was a girl, that had all her upper head missing. And then there was this fire dude, as Clay called him, which seemed to be the most recent. His abdomen was bleeding and his tongue was missing. He covered his mouth with a hand and ran back to the group. Tears filled his eyes as he had never withnessed such horrible scene.

1.

Tsubasa was holding Crassovic as he waited for Mr. Italian dude to return. In a matter of seconds, he returned, tears in his eyes, hand covering his mouth. Something was wrong.

'' Miei amici. '' He said in pure Italian. '' I fear we have lost some of ours today.''

Tsubasa threw Crassovic at Clay's arms and ran to the room and gasped, tears filling his eyes.

'' No.'' He whispered, crying. '' NO!''

The yell echoed through the whole castle. Every other person's eyes filled with tears, and silent sobs and loud wails filled the castle.

No.
