At the theatre
Everyone with the wounded ogami returned to the theatre and on their way to the infirmary
Ayame ; come on we close to the infirmary
After they arrived ogami went inside with the doctors
Ayame ; all right everyone wait here I will go in to check on him
Sakura ; I want to go with you
Sumire ; me too I don't want to leave him like that
Kohran ; I could help the doctors
Iris ; I don't want to leave big brother alone
Ayame ; I understand but let the doctor do their job you all done more than enough I will be with him so don't worry
Yoneda ; ayame-kun is right you all done more than enough all of you take a rest let the doctor do their job
Sakura ; alright
Everyone waited outside the infirmary while ayame with the doctors were inside treating ogami the troop had some of ogami's blood on their clothes but sakura and kohran had the most
Yoneda ; sakura kohran you two need to rest especially since you two did most of the work
Sakura ; I am fine commander I just want to make sure ogami-san will be fine
Kohran ; me too I am worried about him
Sad Sumire ; well that wound is deep I am afraid he won't make it
Angry Iris ; don't say that big brother will be alright
Kanna ; yeah the captain isn't weak he will survive
Sumire ; you are right
regretted Yuri ; it's my fault If I had known that boy didn't evacuate ogami-san wouldn't have gotten hurt like that what have I done
regretted Kasumi ; no is not your fault is mine I should been more careful
regretted tsubaki ; is my fault too
yoneda ; calm down you all wouldn't have known there was a kid hiding there so don't blame yourself
Maria ; it's lieutenant fault
Everyone focused on maria after hearing that
Shocked Sakura ; maria-san ! what are you saying you cannot be
Then ayame with the doctors went out of the infirmary and everyone noticed and came to them
Yoneda ; ayame-kun how is he now ?
Ayame ; he is fine the doctors patched him and put him in the recovery pod
The Doctor ; don't worry he will live he managed to survive thanks to your first aid and if it was anyone else he would be dead by now
Sakura ; thanks god he is fine
Sumire ; I was worried for a moment he wouldn't make it
Iris ; I know big brother would be alright
Kanna ; the captain really is strong
Maria ; good … I will go to my room then
Maria went to her room
Ayame ; you all should go to your rooms
Sakura ; please ayame-san let me stay with him
Ayame ; I know you are worried about him but you need to wash yourself and rest I will be with him
Sakura ; but
Ayame ; please sakura rest for now you can visit him tomorrow
Sumire hold sakura's shoulders
Sumire ; ayame-san is right sakura-san all we can do is wait
Happy kohran ; we can visit him tomorrow so don't worry let's rest for now
Sakura ; alright ….
Flower division and wind division left the infirmary while ayame and yoneda stayed there
Yoneda ; he was reckless back there leaving an opening for the enemy like that
Ayame ; would you be happy if he hesitated or leave child
Yoneda ; if he did that I would be more angry at him the captain of the flower division has to be fast in his respond he did what he thought was the right move so I cannot blame
Ayame ; I think so too
Yoneda ; but we have big problems now
Ayame ; about what setunsa said right
Yoneda ; yeah the hive of darkness knows who the flower division are now
Ayame ; how they found out
Yoneda ; I don't know but we need to take action or they will know the location of our base
Ayame ; you are right I will call count houji to make sure that wouldn't happen again
Yoneda ; good the moon division is now investigating who leaked our information sooner they will find out until then we will wait
After that ogami spent the last 3 days inside the recovery pod until the doctors pull him out of it and return him to his room
after hours
Inside ogami's room he was in the bed and all the troop except maria was with him kohran was checking on ogami's pulse
Sumire ; how is he now ?
Kohran ; he is better than before his heart beating is stable
Iris ; but he hadn't wake up yet
Kanna ; do you know when will he wake up ?
Kohran ; I don't know all we can do is wait
Sad Sakura ; ogami-san ( please wake up please )
and then ogami's eyes began to move and everyone noticed it
Sakura ; ogami-san ? ogami-san !
Ogami ; arghhhh
Ogami opened his eyes to see all the troop expect maria
Ogami ; otch ohh

Kohran ; for three days
Ogami ; I see

Kohran ; that relief but still take that medicine just to be sure
Sakura ; here ogami-san take this pill
Ogami ; is that a painkiller ?
Sakura gave the pill to ogami and he swallowed it
Unpleased Ogami ; eugh what is that it's so bitter this isn't a painkiller what is it ?
Kohran ; it's a medicine I create before coming to the theatre
Ogami ; you made it ?
Kohran ; yeah I figured something like that might happen so I made it
Ogami ; I see I have to say between building koubu and creating medicines you always manage to find a way to surprise me kohran
Kohran ; thanks you
Sumire ; but still are you sure it will be effective
Kohran ; 100% his wound will heal in no time
Ogami ; I see I
Ogami than felt weak
Tired ogami ; whoa w-what hap-
Kohran ; I see it begin you see despite it will heal you in no time it will make you fall asleep as side effect
Tired Ogami ; ye-yeah yo-
Ogami immediately went to sleep
Kohran ; great he fall asleep all we can do is let him rest he will be better tomorrow
Iris ; but I want to talk with big brother
Sakura ; me too iris but is better to let him sleep
Kanna ; yeah don't worry you will talk to him tomorrow
Sumire ; alright everyone let's leave lieutenant to rest
Everyone went out of his room before sakura closed the door
Sakrua ; good night ogami-san
Sakura closed the door leaving ogami to sleep
After some hours ogami room's door was opening and he heard it but he couldn't open his eyes because he was still tired
Ogami ; huh ?! did someone come ?
And then he felt something in his forehead
Ogami ; ah…. Someone is touching my forehead it's cold hand but it feels nice who is this ?
Ogami tried to open his eyes he managed to open it a little to see maria putting her hands in his forehead
Ogami ;( maria ! did she come here for me ….. )
But ogami fall to sleep again and maria left his head
Maria ; …
And Then Maria went out of his room leaving ogami to sleep
The next day at night
Ogami began to wake up
Ogami ; ugh wow I slept too much
Ogami began to check on his chest
Ogami ; well I have to say kohran's medicine was effective I don't feel pain in my chest anymore
Then the door opened and ogami saw maria was getting inside
Surprised Maria ; lieutenant you woke up
Ogami ; maria ? what are you doing here
Maria ; n- nothing I …. I was just passing by
Ogami ; I see thanks for coming I appreciated
Smiled Maria ; no problem I apologize for coming here like that
Ogami ; don't be I should be the one to apologize for making you and everyone worried
Maria ; I see
Then immediately maria changed her face to be serious and angry
Angry Maria ; why …. why did you leap ?
Ogami ; huh ?
Angry maria ; why did you leap out back then
Ogami ; you mean when we fought setunsa ? it was to save the kid of course
Angry Maria ; lieutenant can I speak to you freely just this once
Ogami ; sure
Angry Maria ; that wound you received trying to save the kid in that battle is entirely your fault
Ogami ; I know
Angry Maria ; and because of that you let the enemy slipped past us as a result far more civilian's lives would be in danger…. Do you understand that ?
Ogami ; I do
Angry Maria ; no you don't if you did you wouldn't have gotten hurt like that . that actions you took trying to save just one citizen lead to that state of affairs now
Ogami ; you right but the kid was about to get killed I couldn't just stand still and let him die
Angry Maria ; you know with my gun I could have saved the child without risking anyone if wait for a moment to think of better solution but instead you decide to leap out to save him
Ogami ; I
Angry Maria ; if you had been killed what would happened to the rest of division and capital
Nervous Ogami ; well
Angry Maria ; you didn't think that far did you ?
Ogami ; no
Maria ; I see I am disappointed in you I thought you were different I thought you know what's at stake but I was wrong you
Ogami ; I know what's at stake
Maria ; no you don't if you had known you wouldn't have got hurt like that ….if…. if you had died . it wouldn't have been different from back then
Ogami ; back then ?
Maria ; if you get swept up by emotion and lose sight of the big picture and not willing to make some sacrifices than you aren't an effective captain
Ogami ; what are you saying maria ?
Maria ; what I am saying if the kid or one of us has to sacrifice to complete the mission so be it we are soldiers who's job is protect the capital
Angry Ogami ; you are going too far maria
Maria ; so you aren't willing to make the necessary sacrifices are you ?
Ogami ; yes
Maria ; I see …. Then lieutenant ogami you are … unfit to be captain
Ogami ; huh ?!
Maria ; that is all excuse me
Maria left ogami's room he the began to think with himself for a moment remembering what maria said
Ogami ; maria what did you just say you cannot be serious yeah she is right if I let the kid to die or didn't act recklessly we would have defeated setsunsa but if the kid had died I would have regretted that for the rest of my life …. For now I let's try to speak with maria about this again
Ogami changed his clothes and went to the maria's room
in front of her room
ogami ; alright let's do ….
Angry Kanna ; what the hell are you doing maria ?
Ogami ; ( that voice kanna !? )
Angry kanna ; wasn't saving the child the right thing ? what is wrong with you and what did you say to captain about sacrifice ?
Maria ; that has nothing to do with you so leave now
Shocked Kanna ; what ? why are speaking to me like that we have known each other for long time
Maria ; I didn't meant it. it just I want to be alone
Kanna ; you know you're always like that you don't trust anyone come on talk to me aren't you trusting me enough I know you didn't mean what you said to captain please
Maria ; I …. I am sorry kanna I cannot
Kanna ; maria
Maria ; I am sorry for making you coming here and what I said just please leave me alone for while
Kanna ; I hate it when you're like that you better snap out of it
Ogami ; ( I think is better to leave them alone )
Ogami left maria's room he walked until he became in front of library
Ogami ; ( what is wrong with you maria why are you) aurghhh my head looks like I didn't get enough rest
Ogami lost his consciousness
Ogami then was in dark world
Ogami ; whoa where am I ?
Then Ogami saw yoneda
Ogami ; manager yoneda !?
Yoneda ; ogami from this day on you are fired
Ogami ; huh ? what are you ….
Then everyone else began to appear
Maria ; that the orders lieutenant I am returned to be captain
Ogami ; why ?
Sumire ; because you let your emotion drive you
Sakura ; I am so disappointed in you I thought you are the captain we need
Ogami ; sakura-kun ! no I ….
Kanna ; to think I expect anything from you
Kohran ; we better start remodel your koubu that we don't need you
Yuri ; yeah you are right kohran
Kasmui ; we don't want a useless captain
Tsubaki ; I can be the captain
Iris ; I want to be the captain too
Ogami ; everyone no
Everyone ; you are unfit to be captain
Ogami ; no
Everyone ; you are unfit to be captain
Maria came close to ogami
Ogami ; maria
Maria ; you are … you are …
and then maria got teared and ogami saw that
Ogami ; are you crying ? maria why did you do that
And immediately a sound of barking were heard it was barking of wolf his sound make everyone vanish and ogami heard that to see the wolf
Ogami ; you are why are you ….. sigh what is the point …. Am i a really unfit to be captain ? …. What do you think
The wolf then moved his leg to make all the world turned white with high brightness it was so high ogami couldn't see at all
Ogami ; ahhhhh
Ogami then return to the battle where he with the troop in front of setsunsa
Ogami ; huh ? am I in the battle how ?
Then ogami saw a kid was running until and he fell to the ground in the middle of them
sakura ; that boy didn't evacuate in time
sumire ; oh no
kohran ; that bad
kanna ; what should we do ?
maria ; dammit
happy setunsa ; hahahaha finally I am gonna enjoy cutting him into bits
setunsa started to attack the child using the morning star In his left arm
ogami ; ( that again this time I have to think carefully )
sakura ; NO STOP!
Ogami ; huh ?
ogami saw sakura rushed to the kid and blocking the attack using her sword to save the kid
ogami ; sakura-kun what are you ….
setunsa ; got you now
setunsa pushed sakura's swords and attack again using his right arm infused with his spirit energy and hit sakura's koubu in the chest penetrating her armor which made a cut in her chest like what happened to ogami before
sakura in pain ; ARGHHHHHH
ogami ; NOOOOOOOO SAKURA-KUN
that scene made ogami woke up from his sleep
ogami ; AHHHHH HUFF HUFFF
Worried ayame ; ogami-kun are you alright ?
Ogami saw ayame
ogami ; ayame-san wait
ogami looked around to see he's in ayame's room
ogami ; I am in your room how ?
Worried ayame ; you collapsed in front of the library I brought you in my room because it was too late are you alright ? you were shaking a moment ago
Ogami ; I see thanks ayame-san I …. I am sorry for burden you like that
ayame ; don't be is my job to look after the wellbeing of you and the rest of the flower division

ayame ; more than that is there anything bothering you ogami-kun you seems suffering
ogami ; I ..
ayame ; you can talk to me ogami-kun tell me what's the problem
ogami ; no is nothing
ayane ; are you sure ?
ogami ; yeah
ayame ; you know you doing the same thing as maria now
ogami ; huh?! what
ayame ; yeah maria always keeping her problems inside her heart which hurt her even more so please don't be afraid of yourself and open your heart ogami-kun tell me what's your problem you need someone to talk too
ogami ; … you are right ayame-san …. do you think I am unfit to be the captain
shocked ayame ; what ! what makes you say that
ogami ; well
ogami told ayame about what happened with maria in his room
ayame ; I see
ogami ; that why I cannot help but wondering did I do the right thing at that time what if I had stood and think for a moment would the outcome be better
ayame ; what maria said is true of course if you had stand and think for a better action you wouldn't have got hurt like that you have to take better care of yourself if you killed back then who will protect the capital
ogami ; you are right
ayame ; but would the outcome be better
ogami ; huh ? what do you mean
ayame ; no matter what we think about what we should have done in the past we don't know if it would have be better maybe it would have gone worse than that
ogami ; worse than that
ogami immediately remembered his dream when sakura leaped out to save the kid when he decide to think for a moment instead of saving him immediately
ogami ; I see
ayame ; no one can know what is right. If you asking me Ogami-kun you mustn't waver what is important is that no matter what end it may lead you .you should all strive to live without regret
Ogami ; live without regrets
Ayame ; did you regret saving the child ?
Ogami ; no I didn't
Ayame ; then are you willing to sacrifice a member of the flower division to defeat the enemy
Angry ogami ; NO I am not no matter what I won't make any sacrifices it will make me feel much more regret
Ayame ; I see good now go talk to maria she needs you now more than ever
Ogami ; you are right ayame-san excuse me
Ogami left ayame and went after maria
Ayame ; … ogami-kun even after what maria said you still don't want any sacrifices you're indeed the captain they need
Back to ogami

Ogami ; huh ?!
Ogami and yoneda saw kanna coming at them
Kanna ; I found you and commander too
Ogami ; what's wrong ?
Kanna ; is maria maria just ran off with her koubu
Shocked Ogami ; what !
Shocked Yoneda ; maria did that . are you sure ?
Kanna ; yeah I was in the gym to train until I heard sound coming from the hanger I went there to see maria piloting her koubu and went off
Yoneda ; why did she do that ?
Ogami ; to go after setsuna
Yoneda ; huh ? go after him why
Ogami ; that what I came here to tell you but right now we need to assemble in the command room
Yoneda ; you are right kanna tell others to move out
Kanna ; got it
Ogami ; maria why did you do this you know this is a trap
After some time in the command room
Ogami and the troop with wind division in their combat uniform and yoneda with ayame in their military uniform
Yoneda ; what happened with maria ? why did she went out on her own like that
Ayame ; kohran tried to stop her but she didn't make it in time
Kohran ; I was in the hangar finishing the new alloy for ogami-han's koubu until I saw maria-han I called her out but she went inside her koubu and took off without even looking at me I am sorry I couldn't stop her
Sumire ; why she went off alone like that
Ogami ; to fight setsuna
Sakura ; to fight setsuna ?! why ? what makes her do that
Ayame ; ogami-kun do you know what's going on ?
Ogami ; yeah some time ago setsuna appeared in some kind of illusion image in the sky and talk to us
Iris ; why didn't we hear that ?
Ogami ; it was meant for me and maria to watch the citizens around us didn't hear anything
Yoneda ; I see
Ogami ; I think what made her do that is because setsuna called maria cassowary a soldier of the Russian revolution army
Shocked Ayame ; what ?
Shocked Yoneda ; ogami are you sure ?
Ogami ; yeah I am sure of it now I think's time to tell me what's setsuna meant by that and what's cassowary mean
Yoneda ; …. sigh looks like we can't hide it anymore …. Alright ayame-kun tell them
Ayame ; very well listen up this is from back then when maria lived in Russia
Ogami ; huh ?!
Ayame ; In Russia there was a tyranny of royalty that were suffering their citizens which lead to many people to rose up against them in 1917 they called themselves the Russian revolution army
Ogami ; I see
Ayame ; among them there was a lone girl
Ogami ; a lone girl don't tell me
Ayame ; yeah her codename was cassowary it was maria
Everyone became surprised except yoneda
Ayame ; cassowary means the fire eating bird maria earned that nickname for her fighting style running like a black flame through the battlefield
Ogami ; I remember now I heard about her
Sakura ; you did ?
Ogami ; yeah when I was in the navy there was a stories about a girl who was running like a black flame in Russia she killed a lot of loyalties soldiers they couldn't even react to her fast shooting but they say she disappeared after an ambush in 1919 they thought she died at that time I never imagine maria was her
Ayame ; yeah in 1919 an they were ambushed which made her captain lost his life
Ogami ; her captain ?
Ayame ; he was more like a brother to her he went out to sacrifice himself to cover for maria's escape she tried to cover for him at that time but she was afraid of all the gunfire and couldn't cover him in time which lead to his death
Ogami ; I see
Ayame ; ever since that day maria regretted that mistake back then I think she see her old captain in you
Kanna ; that why she said that to you captain back then she just doesn't went another tragedy to happen again
Ogami ; …
Sakura ; but still why she went that far to fight setsunsa alone
Ogami ; because she doesn't want us to know about her past
The troop ; huh ?!
Ogami ; she thought we would despise her if we know about her past
Sad Sakura ; maria-san
Sad Kanna ; yeah she always like that even when we are close she didn't want me or anyone to know about her past but I didn't know she was afraid that much
Sad sumire ; ….
Sad Iris ; maria
Sad Kohran ; I don't even know what to say
Sad Yoneda ; yeah
Sad Ayame ; so ogami-kun what are you gonna do now after knowing her past ?
Ogami closed us eyes for second then opened again immediately
Ogami ; of course I am going to save her
Everyone focused on ogami after hearing that
Ogami ; whatever maria did in her past from killing don't mean anything to me what I certainly know is that maria is our friend one of us who care about us and care about the people of the capital that is more than enough for me
Happy Ayame; ogami-kun
Kohran ; ogami-han is right maria is our friend
Kanna ; yeah even if she kept it from me after we been together for long time I am still going save her
Sumire ; well I cannot leave her alone now after knowing what she felt and why she kept it secret
Iris ; big brother please save maria

Iris ; I am going with you
Ayame ; alright come on
Yoneda ; ogami good luck
Everyone went inside their koubu
After a while all the koubus went inside the shogei-maru and took off
At the same time in the residential area of tsukiji there was a strong storm with heavy rain
Maria with her normal clothes using the emergency connectors to pilot her koubu was walking in the empty streets
Angry maria ; SETSUNSA WHERE ARE YOU ?
Maria was still walking until one wakji appeared to attack in front of her
Maria ; I don't think so
Maria than dodge it and aim her gun and shoot at the wakji destroying him and then a two green wakij with their machine gun appeared and fired at maria
Angry Maria ; …
But maria immediately moved away from the bullets so fast the two wakji couldn't keep up with her and then maria fired her gun at them destroying the two of them simultaneously
Angry Maria ; SETSUNA I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME WHERE ARE YOU ?
Maria continued walking until she arrived at the place where they first met
Angry maria ; SETSUNA SHOW YOURSELF
Smiled setsuna ; very well then
Setsuna appeared piloting as spirit armor
Setsuna ; you finally came I see you really don't want your comrade to find out who you are that badly
Maria ; cut the chatter I am here to finish you off
Setsuna ; hahahahaha very well then
Setsuna attacked maria with as morning star in his left arm but maria evade it in time and shoot at setsuna her bullet hit him and damaged his armor a little bit and he felt some pain
Setsuna ; arughhh I see your weapons became stronger
Maria ; is over setsuna I will kill you
Setsuna ; as expected from cassowary
Maria ; SHUT UP
Setsuna ; HAHAHAHAHAHAHA did I hit the nerve well you should have known that you walked into my trap
Maria ; huh ?
Than immediately four wakji came from the ground surrounding maria
Setsuna ; how do you like my surprised
Maria ; coward you let other do your dirty work instead of doing it yourself
Setsuna ; oh come on this is the battlefield but I will be fair I will gave you a chance to shoot me
Setsuna ordered his wakij to stop moving
Maria; ( looks like I don't have a choice I have to make it count )
Maria then aimed her gun at setsuna
Maria ; alright your arrogance will be your fall take that Snegurochka
Maria used her spiritual attack on setsuna to freeze him
Setsuna ; I see you start strong but is useless now
Setsuna in split second disappeared from maria as if he teleported
Maria ; huh ?! where did h- ah
Maria looked behind to see setsuna
Setsuna ; got you
Setsuna attacked her using as right arm and hit maria which pushed her away
Maria in pain ; aurgghhhh
And fell to the ground and lost conscious

Kanna ; captain all clear now

Maria ; it was a dream !
Setsuna ; you finally wake up
Maria looked at the sound to see setunsa in front of her
Angry Maria ; you
Maria tried to free herself but it was useless
Setsuna ; don't try I tied it nice and tight

Setsuna ; oh come on don't be like that I just want to have some fun
Angry Maria ; ….
Setsuna ; ooo scary your eyes filed with hated as expected from you cassowary

Maria ; what ? are you gonna kill me ?
Setsuna ; nah killing you would be boring I am gonna torture you

Setsuna ; oh seeing you like that makes me exciting to see you broke before me
Maria ; I am disappointed knowing the fact that you are our enemy
Setsuna ; oh really then I am gonna enjoy transforming you into corpse slowly with scream of pain and suffering
Maria ; go to hell
Maria spit on setsuna face
Setsuna ; not bad I like your struggle alright let's begin how about this
Setsuna moved as long nails and made a small cut on maria's face which made maria surprised for a moment
Setsuna ; my nails are sharp enough to even cut through steel It would slice your body easily
Maria ; do what you want I don't care
Setsuna ; I see very well then let's go to the main event shall we
Setsuna raised his nail to begin his torture and maria closed her eyes to accept
Maria ; ( so be it I deserve it ….. I should have died in that day I left my home land and ran away from fighting and also for what I said to lieutenant ….. I accept my punishment )
Before setsuna's nails came close to maria the door of the warehouse was kicked down and the two heard that
Shocked maria ; …!
To see ogami came inside
Shocked maria ; It can't be
Setsuna ; so you decide to came ogami
Maira ; lieutenant !
Ogami saw maria tied up
Ogami ; maria are you ah!
And then he saw maria's small cut on her face which make him more angry
Angry ogami ; you bastard what did you do ?
Setsuna ; nothing I was just having fun until you came
Shocked maria ; why did you come ?
Ogami ; to save you of course
Maria ; it's trap
Ogami ; I know
Maria ; then why why you going this far why throw your life away I am not worth it
Ogami ; you are one of imperial assault troop one of us that is more worth to me than anything that why I refuse to leave you alone
Setsuna ; oh spare me the malodrama
Angry ogami ; shut up your hurt maria if dare to try touch a hair of her
Setsuna ; what ? you gonna kill me how about that
Setsuna moved his nail on maria and cut her shirt in the middle make her chest to the stomach wide open but not complete naked
Setsuna ; how do you like that huh ?
Setsuna saw ogami became so furious after what he did to maria
Furious ogami ; I am gonna make you pay for that
Ogami pull out sakura's sword to begin his attack
Setsuna ; I see let's dance then
Ogami rushed to setsuna to attack him but setsunsa dodge it
Setsuna ; as if mere mortal can follow my movement
Setsuna then attacked ogami from behind using his nail
Ogami ; damn it
But luckily ogami managed to block it using his sword and for some reason setsuna became shocked
Shocked setsuna ; what th ? how a mere sword withstand my nails
Ogami ; take that
Ogami swung his sword at setsunsa but he managed to evade it
Ogami ; ( he is too fast )
Setsuna ; even if your sword can withstand my nails that doesn't mean you will be able to hit me
Ogami ; ( he is right he is moving so fast let's try to find an opening )
Ogami and setsuna still continued their fighting ogami tried to hit setsuna but he was too fast for ogami and setsuna attacked him but ogami managed to evade it in time but ogami began to feel tired
Ogami ; ( damn it I begin to feel tired I didn't get enough rest the last time and more then that I can't hit him his nails's too strong the only way I can beat him is by using my spirit powers but if I do that sakura-kun's sword will )
Ogami then felt the sword was saying something
Ogami ; ( ah what th ? why I feel like the sword's telling me to use my powers without worries as if he know what I am thinking ….. for some reason I can trust him alright let's do it first I need to find an opening … I know )
Ogami and setsuna fought for so long until setsuna managed to hit ogami on his left shoulder which made a cut
Ogami ; aghuuuu
Maira ; lieutenant !
Setsuna ; and here I was starting to have fun come on ogami you can do better than that
Setsuna attacked ogami on the bleeding shoulder which made it a little deeper
Ogami ; aghuuuuu
Shocked maria ; no no
Setsuna ; what is the matter I expected more from the captain of imperial assault troop now is time to finish this once and for
Maria ; (no I don't want to I don't want you to I don't want to have this feeling )
Setsuna jumped at ogami to finish him off and after he almost close to ogami
Maria ; LIEUTENTANT !
Ogami ; ( NOW )
Ogami in split second held the sword with his two hand and attack setsuna
Shocked setsuna ; what th?
Ogami ; let's see if you can dodge that
Setsuna ; damn it
Setsuna used his nails to block ogami's attack
Ogami ; I was waiting for that
Ogami then used his spirit powers to infused his sword with lightning and attacked his nails but this time the lightning was less noticeable and more focused
Shocked Setsuna ; …..!
Ogami managed to break his nails and hit setsuna making a cut on his chest and setsuna was in disbelief
Setsuna ; im-impossible
Setsuna fell to the ground while he was bleeding out from the cut ogami saw him not moving
Angry Ogami ; …..
Ogami then went to maria and on his way he looked at the sword
Ogami ; ( when I used my spirit powers I feel like the sword was leading my powers more effective than what I used before if I used that in any sword next time maybe I won't need to worry about breaking it… for now let's help maria )
Ogami arrived at maria
Ogami ; maria are you alright
Maria ; yeah I am fine but your shoulder
Ogami ; don't worry about it let me cut the robe
Ogami cut the robe that maria was tied up freeing her and then ogami took her coat and gave it to maria
Ogami ; here cover yourself
Maria ; thanks
Maria wore her the coat and ogami gave her hand to stand up and she took it
Maria ; why ?
Ogami ; what is wrong ?
Maria ; why did you go that far for someone like me ?
Ogami ; here you go again with someone like me thing. Of course I did that to save you. You and everyone in flower division are important friend to me and it's only natural to help you when you are in trouble
Maira ; even after you learn about my past
Ogami ; yeah what you did in the past isn't important what is important is the present the which you are with us
Maria ; but what I said to you at your room was heartless how can I face kanna and everyone
Ogami ; don't worry they knew your past too ayame-san told us about your former captain
Shocked Maria ; huh ?!
Ogami ; yeah from that I learned why you said that to me because you felt you should have died in your former captain's place at that time but understand this I would rather hurt myself then letting you or anyone in the troop getting hurt and if I were to return to past I would have done the same thing
Maria ; I see but you know this a trap and yet you rushed here alone despite knowing that
Ogami ; you right but all I wanted was saving so I moved without thinking this one of my faults I guess
Maria ; and you won't change it
Ogami ; if it's to save you. no I won't
Maria ; I see (so that why you did that yuri )
Maria change her face to be smiled one really good smile
Smiled Maria ; thank you lieu- no thank you captain
Ogami ; don't met- .. ah ! GET DOWN !
Surprised maria ; …. Ah !
Ogami held maria to dodge an attack it was setsunsa they saw him alive and still bleed out from his chest
Shocked maria ; he's still alive
Ogami ; looks like that
Angry Setsuna ; damn you ogami how dare you break my nails
Ogami ; well you should have thanked me instead your nails was so long they were needed to be cut
Angry setsuna ; shut up
Ogami ; and here I thought you liked humor
Setsuna ; I won't let you get away with that
Ogami ; alright I am ready for rematch
Ogami stood in front of maria and held his sword
Setsuna ; not this time come out my minions
Then the warehouse is wall collapsed and two wakji came inside
Maria ; he summoned wakji
Ogami ; really summon your minions to do your job when something isn't in your way you are Pathetic
Angry setsuna ; SHUT UP
Ogami ; looks like I hit the nerve
Angry setsuna ; kill them
The two wakji rushed at them
Maria ; captain we need to run
Ogami ; no need
Ogami went at them with his sword
Maria ; CAPTAIN
Ogami ; ( alright let's … huh ! what why I hear the sword say I don't need to use my spirit powers … alright I will trust you now )
Ogami rushed at the two wakji and managed to cut the two of them in half without using his spirit energy
Shocked Maria ; he destroyed them !
Shocked setsuna ; what th ? what is that sword
After that ogami looked at his sword
Ogami ; ( that sword's so strong no wonder sakura-kun managed to destroy the wakji back in ueno park )
Setsuna ; looks like I have to do everything myself
Setsuna then summoned his spirit armor and a large group of wakji was behind him
Smiled setsuan ; hahahahah let's see if you two can survive facing all of us alone
Maria then noticed that she and ogami were surrounded by wakji
Maria ; we surrounded
Setsuna ; hahahahaha I am gonna enjoy killing you all alone
Angry Maria ; ….. tch !
Ogami ; but there is something I am not alone
Setsuna ; what do you mea-
Then a cannon fire appeared destroying most of the wakji
Setsuna ; huh ?! what is happening
Sakura ; stop right here
Maria ; that voice it can't be
Maria looked up to see the shogai-maru in the sky and the troop dropping off
Shocked maria ; everyone !
Everyone land on their feet and the troop saw ogami and maria and also they noticed that ogami's shoulder was bleeding
Worried Sakura ; ogami-san !
Everyone rushed to ogami and maria to cover them
Shocked setsuna ; how did you find this place
Ogami ; took you long enough
Maria ; huh ?!
Setsuna ; what do mean ?
Kohran ; let me tell you I thought of possibility of something like this to happened so I put tracking devices in all our combat uniform
Maria ; that
Setsuna ; you mean
Smiled Ogami ; yeah I lead them here you fall into my trap

Maria ; me
Sakrua ; yeah he felt your pain the pain that setsuna caused to you
Maria ; I I can't believe it
Ogami while standing he was closing eyes he was in his own world remembering his past when he was killing his enemies with anger
Ogami ; I became angry killing left and right I became like them or so I thought
Ogami then looked at another him he looked angry more angry then he was before
Ogami ; I … I understand you. you just wanted justice for those innocents and I locked inside because I thought you were a monster but after I know why maria was hiding her past because she felt we will despise her but alos she had no other choice but to fight unlike me who choice to fight
Ogami then looked to the wolf
Ogami ; I understand now maria wasn't the only one who closed her heart inside i also was trying to hide what I had become but not anymore after seeing all what setsuna did to maria just to enjoy her suffering I can't hold it anymore but more than that he has the nerve of telling maria she like him
Ogami looked at his two swords
Ogami ; I won't close my heart nor hide myself anymore I will make him pay … let's do it
Back to the rest the storm became so much strong then before and the lightning increased
Sumire ; wow that storm became more strong

Terrified setsuna ; looks like I wasn't the only one you killed before but with that all your troop will fear you
Setsuna looked at them and saw everyone didn't fear anything
Shocked Setsuna ; what ?!
Everyone wasn't afraid of him at all
Sumire ; lieutenant you were holding back that much
Kanna ; I never know you cared so much for maria
Kohran ; ogami-han really hating seeing us hurt so much
Maria ; I don't believe it
Sakrua ; maria-san ogami-san is caring for you even when he know your past even after what you did to him before he still understand you enough to be like that for you
Maria ; I … I understand now …. I too feel the same way
While ogami was still running at setsuna he was remembering the time when he tried to make name for his spiritual attack and he figured out a name
ogami ; ( now I know what name should I call my attack )
at the mean time setsuna tried to move but it was useless
setsuna ; I have to get out of here
setsuna then tried to open his cockpit above his spirit armor and maria noticed it
angry maria ; I don't think so
maria then became surrounded by a blue aura more noticeable and everyone saw it
kanna ; maria ?
kohran ; everyone maria-han's spirit energy's rising so fast it hit her limit
sumire ; really
maria ; everyone step back I won't let him escape again
sakura ; got it
everyone stepped back from maria
maria ; I thought for a moment that if everyone knew about my past they would hate me but instead they understand me and the captain never abandoned me I understand now that I am a woman who want to live a life happy with everyone and that woman right now won't be beat by a scum like you
maria pointed her gun at setsuna
maria ; SNEGUROCHKA
maria fired her spiritual attack as that attack was taking form of female ghost but this time it was more large then before she passed above ogami while he was running
ogami ; maria ?
setsuna was about to get out until

he saw maria's attack coming at him
setsuna ; what th?
And hit setsuna's spirit armor him and a large of surrounding area became cover in ice and also his exit froze
Setsuna ; I can't opened it I ha-

Ogami ; this for maria and everyone you hurt you bastard ROUKO MEKKYAKU
After Ogami became in front of him
Setsuna ; impossible that shouldn't have happened
Furious ogami ; KAITOU
He used his right sword to attack setsuna horizontal from left to right
Furious ogami ; RANMA !
He then used his left sword to attack vertical from up to down attacking at setsuna's cockpit melting the ice cutting him into four huge pieces and exploded killing him once and for all
Everyone saw a huge explosion and huge smoke
Sakura ; ogami-san
Then shortly they saw ogami getting out from the smoke without scratch he came to them and he with everyone got out of their koubu
