The Giants walked around the classroom grabbing the various students up into the air like they were softballs and then slamming them down hard on the desks. Akane was limp and unable to resist at all while the others were either too scared or injured to even bother trying to resist against the giants' brute strength. Several of the students groaned and yelled out as they were slammed down on the desk, Kuma and Niikura both woke up from the impacts and Akane screamed in pain again.

"QUIET!" The monster teacher shouted at her and Akane was reduced to quiet sobbing she futilely tried to stifle. He turned back around and looked around the classroom at the various abducted students and growled at them. "Misbehaving children. Impudent children. Disgusting deliqnuents. Bratty children. Urchins. We will fix you. The five of us. Your education will raise you up into model citizens." The monster man grinned at them.  "Nereus Ignominiam is my name. I am your educator." He suddenly pointed his ruler at Ayako. "How can everything come from nothing when nothing is something that has nothing to do with anything? Is everything nothing or nothing is everything? Why nothing is nothing and everything is everything? How can I see you and everything but not myself and nothing? Could it be...that you are in fact nothing?
"

Ayako, who was still recovering from the horrors she'd seen on his attack on her classmates and still recovering from being abducted into this school of horrors, could only stammer as she tried to come to grips with his nonsensical question. "Wh-wh...wha...what?" She asked.

"WRONG ANSWER!!" He roared and pointed his ruler at her causing the electric arcs to shoot out of it again and strike her. Ayako screamed in pain as the electricity crackled around her body just like it had to Akane and her screams filled the air to the chorus of her friends. The monster man lowered his ruler and she collapsed sobbing in her seat. "I expect better answers from your children."

Akane's hand twitched and Nereus twirled his ruler staff as he paced back and forth until he settled on his next victim and walked down the row of students and slapped his ruler staff against Sanjiro's desk. "Sanjiro. How can Big Bang called as Big Bang without discovering how big the cosmos actually is? What if the Big Bang is a Large Bang or Huge Bang or Mega Bang? Did Big Bang being Banged by some other Bang or It Banged the other Bang or It just Banged by itself, If so how does such a bang comes into existence and why?"

"Well there are a lot of theories about how the Big Bang came about but scientists believe universe began with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point. This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe. Astrophysicists dubbed this titanic explosion the Big Bang."

"A clear, conscience and well though tout answer BUT NOT THE ONE I AM LOOKING FOR!!" He roared and slammed Sanjiro's head into the desk.

"AAAAAHHHH!"

"N-no...leave...leave him alone!" Niikura growled out. "Leave my friend alone you dick!"

Akane groaned as she tried to pick herself back up again. Drool and snot and tears falling from her face and mixing together on the desk.

"Ahhhh. I do so love volunteers." He dropped Sanjiro and let the young boy fall to the misty floor crying and clutching his nose. The monster strolled around the room and stopped in front of Niikura's desk and leaned forward and smiled at him. "Would you rather know the date of your death or the cause of your death?
"

"Neither." He shot back. "I'd settle for being the cause of yours."

The monster man threw back his head and laughed alongside his cronies. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!" He suddenly stopped and leaned forward and looked him in the eyes. "Ahhhh. I do so love volunteers. So you want to take a shot, BOY?!"

Akane began pushing herself up.

"Put down the magic wand. Lets go a few rounds."

"Oh this? I won't be needing it." He sneered and tossed it to his giant minion. "Come on then, BOY. Step right up and save your friends."

Niikura's body was wracked with pain from being tossed around earlier but there was no way in hell he was going to let this monster, this maniac, hurt his friends without throwing hands. He had just found Sanjiro again. He was not going to let this monster hurt him. Niikura stood up and shoved his desk aside and rolled up his sleeves as he squared off with the monster in the middle of class.

"Alright, pretty boy, lesss gooooo." He hissed.

Niikura yelled out and ran at him and began punching him wildly madly and desperately. He started with a left jab that the monster man just leisurely swatted aside so Niikura went for a right cross instead only for that to be swatted aside as well.  Left hook, swatted, right hook, swatted, right cross, swatted, left hook, swatted, right cross, swatted, all of his punches were useless so Niikura tried a spinning kick only for the monster man to grab his leg and swing him away and toss him into the blackboard again! He dropped right back down to the floor and then the monster man walked over, grabbed him, hoisted him up into the air and punched him in the stomach. Niikura's mouth dropped open and the monster man slammed him down on the floor. He hit it hard and was left trembling on the ground and puking up vomit and bile on the floor.

"Pathetic. Pathetic and disgusting and weak." The monster grabbed the back of his shirt and slammed him down on the back of his desk.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

"Pathetic. Pathetic and weak. But you'll have your uses. When I get to the anatomy lesson." He chuckled and turned back to the students.

"Please...please...just stop. Just stop! Please!" The students begged. "Please stop! We haven't done anything to you!"

"Please please please please. So much begging. Am I such a God that everyone is praying for? Well too bad! This God is not listening. He is here to make you suffer. The five of us. We will make you all scream and feast on your tears and pain and anguish! We will wring out every last drop out of you and then end your lives."

"Heh....heh-heh-heh-heh."

He turned around. "Something you wish to discuss with the class?"

"You know...I...I was wondering....what was...with those stupid ass questions of yours. Now I get it." Akane smirked. "You're an idiot."

"Pardon? Did I fry your brain earlier?"

"There's only four of you. Where's your other crony?"

The Monster Man turned around and counted the tall men. "Wait...where is your brother? Why hasn't he reported in yet? Answer me!"

The Giants looked around at each other. There was only three of them there....where was their brother?

That was when the monsters heard someone walking around inside of the school.

"We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control. No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Teacher, leave them kids alone. Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone."

The two monsters flew backwards from the effects of her split kick and slid across the floor of the darkened library. She quickly rushed down the one on the left after landing, grabbed him, lifted him up and spun him around and threw him across the library over to the other one. He smashed into his demonic brother and they both collapsed in a heap.

"Come on guys. Is that all you got? You can do better can't you? Show me your real forms already!"

The two demons untangled themselves, rolled away, stood back up and raised their arms up and roared as their humanoid shells cracked and burned away and then vanished in a flash as they grew another foot taller into their demonic forms the same as the last one.

"There now. That's better. I want to look into your real eyes when I kill you."

The Talgrid Umaezr's glowered at her.

<It is bizarre that a mere corpse could contain such raw power. What manner of animated corpse is she?>

<Could she really have slain our brother Beaskornodras?>

"Ohhh right that was his name. You'll have to forgive me. I know I ate his brain and everything but I already forgot it. You're Andudeusbe and Ajessoyn'beel, right? His brothers in the Umaezr tribe? I sure hope you put up a better fight than he did."

They howled in rage and charged her and she charged them. Both sides folding the space in between them to essentially teleport in front of each other. The demons struck at her in unison but she deflected their attacks with her wand and slipped in between them and swatted aside the one to her right while lunging forward and grabbing the other demon's arm and biting a large chunk right out of him! She leaned forward, chomped down on the side of his arm and ripped and tore a big meaty chunk right off of his arm! The demon screeched and backed away clutching his arm as his demonic blood oozed down all over the floor.

<YOU WHORE OF NO VIRTUE!> The demon bellowed and swiped at her but she blocked it with her wand and then she turned around and countered an attack from the other one and smacked it away and then she kicked him away before turning around and blocking the wild furious swipes from the other one aimed at her head and chest with expert timing from her wand and countered a kick with one of her own with enough force to knock him backwards a few feet and then Kira seized the chance to jump into the air and kick him in the side of the head hard enough to smash him into the library floor! She kept turning and blocked a blast from Andudeusbe and redirected it down to Ajessoyn'beel! The demon roared in pain as he was seared by his own brother's eye lasers.

<Ah. Shit. Sorry brother!>

<Just kill her already!>

Kira bounced off of the wall and flung herself at the monster. He charged her and began swiping and clawing and slashing at her only for Kira to strike and block and parry with her wand and forearm blocks and counterattacks. Both of them efficiently and effectively blocking and countering one another's attacks but only momentarily before she overwhelmed him and kicked him away. He flew into and crashed through a bookshelf and obliterated it on impact, scattering the books everywhere. He hit the floor and slid across it until he hit the other one but he was more hurt by her kick than anything he impacted against. Kira quickly closed in on him with a smile on her face. She kissed her fist and began spinning it around until she closed in on him, turned around and struck his head with a power pumped spinning backfist! "DEATH PUNCH!" She called out. On impact her thunderous backfist cracked against the side of the demon's head and punched it clean off of his head!

The blood sprayed from his open neckhole as the demon's body violently spasmed and thrashed and spun around blindly with the head of the monster now removed from its body until Kira coldly finished it off with an energy blast from her wand that blew a large hole straight through its chest. The body collapsed on the floor and its alien blood spilled out all over the floor.

"Next?"

Ajessoyn'beel erupted into an absolutely feral rage! Charging her on all fours, closing the distance and then began blindly furiously swiping and clawing and slashing and snapping her with it jaws in a blind mad fury that she furiously deflected right there in the middle of the room against him until she dodged around him to try and take him from behind but then she was caught by a back kick from its legs that drove its feet into her stomach. Caught by surprise she was launched through the library and into the heavy metal railing on the second floor which she severely dented inwards on impact until the railing snapped and broke on impact. She fell to the floor and rolled backwards a couple times before she slapped the floor and got back on one knee and looked up as the demon was springing at her only for Kira to bat it away. The demon flew backwards and crashed back down on the floor. He got back up and tried to attack again only for Kira to flip over him and kick him back down to the floor again and then put some distance between them. The demon roared and charged her once more only for Kira to ready her knife hand stance and dash forward, slide under him and raise her hand up to slice him open as she passed underneath him! "FUNERAL SLICER!" She called out while slicing him open from head to toe and splitting him open straight down the middle! The monster's blood and entrails poured down all over her and the floor as the two halves of the monster dropped to the floor behind her.

Kira stood back up covered in demonic blood and guts. She smiled and licked her lips. "Alright that was fun." She quipped and turned around to see the demon's souls leaving their bodies. "Oh no you don't!" She pointed her wand at both of them in turn. "Capture! Capture!" Just like the first demon their souls were trapped inside of spheres and shrunken down to the size of marbles. Kira reached out with her hand and the marbles flew across the library to her hand. "Open wide, Lily!"

"Ahhhhhh." The skull on her wand opened wide and a hellportal opened up in her mouth and Kira tossed the soul marbles inside. "994. 993. That feels good. That feels really good." She laughed and grabbed some entrails that had fallen on her, stuck them in her mouth and slurped them up like noodles before waving her wand over her head and sending the rest back home for preparation and doing the same to the remains of the demons. Next she pointed her wand at the broken bookshelf and repaired it and then she did the same to the railing and then she magiced away the bloodstains. Within a minute the library had been completely repaired from the battle leaving no sign of it ever happening. "Okay then. Time to find the portal they came through." Kira waved her wand through the air while she slowly moved around in a circle until she suddenly turned back around and found herself pointing at the third floor. "On the right trail." Kira leaped up to the second floor, landed on the railing and then she jumped up to the third floor, grabbed onto the railing and flipped up onto the floor. "Alright...now then." She waved her wand around until she found the portal's spot and walked around the length of the library's third floor past the various shelves full of books until she reached the spot in between two shelves where she shined a light from her wand in between the two bookshelves and the portal gateway appeared in front of her.

"So that's it. Right then. Fortunately for moi the demon's delicious brain knew everything the others did."  She grasped her wand with her other hand and began speaking to in the demonic tongue. "<By The Five Moons Of Bor-oiur! By The Intoxication Of Lus-thi! I Evoke The Intellect Of Saled-osth! Open The Gate To The Disguised School Underworld! Electnev Alouearut Sitaeooz Rapoialeac Elouiadap Arthsidi!>"

A ghostly chilling midnight whirlwind blew around her while a gloomy swirling circle appeared in front of her. It smelled exactly like a grave and cold air rushed out of it.

"Lets go, Lily!"

"Onward to victory!"

She ran into the portal wand in hand and it vanished behind her in a flash of light. The demons of course had disguised it with magic to blind humans from the portals prescience but she had no reason to do that. She crossed through the barrier between the human world and the Phantom Beast's Pocket Dimension to come out the other end. Kira fell through the air and landed on her feet to find herself back in the library but it was old and decayed. The books had lost their covers and were falling apart, the shelves were broken down and cracked, the desks were broken down, the wallpaper was peeling off of the walls, the pictures on the walls were faded and cracked open, the railing was broken and littering the floor, the floor itself was covered by a thick foggy mist and the whole room was cast in an eerie dark blue light.

"Nice place." She commented. "Can't say you put much effort into decorations though." Kira jumped down from the third floor down to the broken down desk on the first floor and the moment she touched it rows of spikes shot out of the ground all over the floor! They even stabbed through the desk she'd been standing on but Kira knew what to expect so she just jumped in the air again and grabbed onto the spike with two fingers. "Sorry but you'll need to do better than that." She flipped off of the spike and onto the remains of the desk at the one spot that hadn't been impaled, jumped off of that and held out her wand. "DEAD AIR!" She called out and a dark light shined around her before growing out to take the form of long black tattered wings that resembled insectoid wings. They flapped in the air and she flew glided across the library and out of the doors. Kira landed on the floor outside of it and the wings faded away.

"Here I come everyone. Please just hold on."

(An impressive kick.) The demon noted. (She might be a walking corpse but her putrid flesh still has some real muscle to it. From the muscle she's packed on, no, rather, the muscle that was built into her, I'd estimate she's 104.326 kilograms, 230 lbs, at first glance at least. All of it pure raw muscle.  It stands to reason that whomever designed her made her body tissue, skin, muscles, bones and the general interior and exterior of her body are denser and stronger than a normal human's. It's impressive but that alone wouldn't explain her physical power. The magical energies surrounding her obviously enhanced her powers a great deal. But I sense there's something more to her. Something running through her veins. Could it be...in her blood? Some type of drug? If that's the case then her body is a combination of Science and Magic. This isn't just some Magical Girl or a Reanimated Corpse. She's a MageTech Abomination!)

The Girl, Sailor Izanami as she called herself, rushed forward and struck at him again fully intending to drive her fist through his skull but he dodged her punch and Sailor Izanami struck the blackboard instead and smashed a hole into and through the blackboard and wall behind it! The demon dodged around her and cracked his ruler staff against her back and kicked her in the back. She was smashed into the wall but pulled herself back out, turned around and grabbed his staff, yanked him forward, struck him in the face and kicked him out of the room through the door and into the one across from it! The demon stood back up as she rushed him down, leaped into the air, grabbed the doorway board and kicked out with her feet and caught him in the face so hard his head jerked backward and he was launched across the room and into the far wall and broke into it. She dropped down and rushed him again but Sailor Izanami was stopped in place when he pointed the ruler staff at her followed by throwing her across the room into the far wall on the other side of the room followed by the various desk chairs, the shelves, furniture, floor and ceiling tiles and the big desk around the room all slammed into her at once and piled on top of her! With the Abomination pinned down for the moment he held his staff in a vertical stance and began chanting.

"Aceoaytuna Jalcia Loboyinea Ciddio." He chanted and magical runes spun around his staff along with mystical words swirling around them while electricity crackled around it. Kira meanwhile smashed through the giant pile of rubble that had piled around her and sent it all flying right back at him! He simply pointed the ruler wand in her direction and froze the rubble with his telekinesis channeled through it followed by an explosive burst of lightning magic!

When a current above 100 mA passes through the body, it leaves marks at the points of contact with the skin. Currents above 10,000 mA (10 A) cause serious burns that may require amputation of the affected limb.

Some burns are easy to recognize because they look like the burns you can get from contact with heat. Others may seem harmless but aren’t: tiny charred craters indicate the presence of much more serious internal burns.

Electrical burns often affect internal organs. They are caused by the heat generated from the body’s resistance to the current passing through it. Internal damage may be much more serious than the external injuries suggest.

Internal burns often have serious consequences: scarring, amputation, loss of function, loss of sensation and even death. For example, if a lot of tissue is destroyed, the large amount of waste generated can cause serious kidney or blood circulation disorders.

Nereus' blast was one million mA released all at once in a cloud of electricity. "1,000,000 VOLTIOS!" The demon called out,

"Heh."

The blast of electricity obliterated the room's rubble with the heat and power of the electric blast but she leaped right through it. In fact, much like we established earlier, her body absorbed it! "WHAT?!" The demon shouted in disbelief. He didn't even get a chance to defend herself as the grinning Ghoulish FrankenZombie MageTech Abomination slammed down in front of him and punched him across the room, into the blackboard, through it, through the wall, out of the wall, across that room and into the far wall of the room behind it so hard he was embedded halfway into it, briefly, before the force of the hit caused the wall to fall down on top of him as a pile of rubble.

"DEATH PUNCH!" She shouted on impact. After he fell she walked after him. "I probably should've mentioned this!" Sailor Izanami called out to him as she walked through the giant hole she'd made in the wall. "But electricity doesn't hurt me. In fact, it's quite the opposite. It makes me stronger." She rolled her neck. "Now I don't know about you? But I am feeling really fucking good right now. Heh-heh-heh-heh. Hahahahahahahahahaha." She laughed. "So, Mister Dropout Magister of The Fulminis-Hell Who Probably Got His Degree Online, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

After a moment of silence he burst out of the rubble and fell down on his knees using the ruler staff to support himself. Sailor Izanami quickdrew her wand from her belt and 'fanned' it with her hand while shooting out Ectoplasmic-Bursts from it to destroy the bits of rubble before it could hit her. "ECTO-CANNON FULL-AUTO!" After dusting the rubble shrapnel she pointed Lily at him. "That's right, teach, you're not the only one with a wand. I guess it's not so easy when you're against somebody who can fight back is it?"

Nereus' dislocated jaw was slack and hanging down loosely. Blood freely dribbled down from his mouth onto the floor. His broken teeth fell into his pooling blood. There was a sizeable dent in his face in the shape of her fist that pushed his face inwards.

"Not so easy when you're up against another monster, is it? Sure picking on humans is soooo easy for your kind. But when it comes time to really role up your sleeves and throw down? This is how all of you end up. This is how your four friends ended up, this is how the first four monsters I killed ended up, and it's how you're going to die. So what's it going to be, teach? You got anything more?"

"BBBBBBLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHHHH! BLEAGH! Hurk...... Hurk.... HurUUUUUAAAAAGHAGHUUUUUUH!!!!" The monster vomited up up another large puddle worth of blood before he finally stopped puking and his body glowed with energy. He began to tap into the energy he'd absorbed from the screams and suffering of his victims to heal his wounds and puff his face back out to its normal shape. His teeth grew back and his jaw reset itself. He stood back up again and began slapping the ruler against his palm. "Allow....meeeee...toooo...eeeedcuaaaaatttee yyyyyyyyyooooooouuuuuuuuuu!"

"Hey....hey guys....s-sou...sound off. Sound off. Who's still alive?" Niikura asked.

"Barely." Akane replied.

"Here." Sanjiro replied.

"Here." Kuma stated.

"Here." Ayako mumbled.

"Here." Iwai, Kokoro, Shinkawa, Kusomo and Ishikura all added.

"Okay. Next question." He sucked in air. "Who the hell was that?"

"A Superhero? A Magical Girl?" Sanjiro suggested.

"M-Magical Girls...don't look like that." Kuma replied and hacked out a cough. "Sorry...certainly don't rip off monster's heads."

"She did save us. I don't care how she does it so long as we get to go home." Ayako sighed.

"Same here." Kokoro replied.

"Right then. Lets take this chance and get out of here." Kusumoto decided. "We'll take....uhhhhhh...."

"N-no...listen...can't...leave yet." Akane forced out. "Can't...leave. Listen. We can't leave yet. You two are the only ones who can move and you can barely stand. You can't carry all of us and besides me nobody here is willing to abandon the others. You can't take us and you can't make the decision and nobody is willing to abandon the others. So we stay put. Breathe. Make a plan."

"Well shit. Mushan's right. We can't leave and we can't take everyone if we could."

"Yeah, but she's wrong about one thing. We wouldn't abandon you, Mushankoji."

She looked up at them from her position on the floor. "But...I've done...a lot of horrible things. I'm an asshole. I'm terrible...I-I'm..."

"Yeah you're an asshole." Kuma informed her. "Nobody who knows you will deny that. But we aren't monsters. We will not...abandon...anyone here."

"I...I...I'm sorry." She lowered her head. "I'm so sorry. For everything. I'm sorry."

"There, there, we'll discuss it after we get out of here. Take a rest until then."

"Thank you...thank you..."

"Not to be that guy but what is our plan here?" Sanjiro asked.

"Believe in her." Ayako replied. "Believe in her. It's all we can do is put our trust in her."

"If it does go south we're all screwed anyway." Iwai joked.

"That's not funny." Kusomo scolded him.

"He's not wrong though....so lets put our faith in her...lets put our faith in...Skull-Woman."

"Is that what we're calling here?"

"We don't know her name. So. Skull-Woman." Akane settled. "Go Team Skull-Woman. Kick his ass."

Before she could dig in however she remembered the kids in the classroom and pulled herself back. There would be time to enjoy the demon's brains later. She had to help them first. Kira closed her mouth, set the head back down and then used the spell to send it away to her home to await preparation and dining.

"I'm impressed. That's some serious restraint you're showing." Lily complimented her. "You just turned down a huge meal you know."

"I'm going to chow down on all of him when I get home anyway, right? Why rush it when there's work to be done?" Kira asked and ran out of the gymnasium while the pocket dimension began glitching and shaking and trembling and breaking down around them. With the boss dead the pocket dimension he'd created was now falling apart around them. Soon this subspace would vanish and they would be deposited back into The School. But before that she would take care of their wounds and deposit them outside. No reason to get them into unnecessary trouble.

"Hold up...are you going to do what I think you're going to do?"

"Yeah. My White Magic is shit to be sure but I can make this one work."

"You realize this is going to hurt like a bitch, right?"

"I know. But if we don't do this then those kids might die before they even get to the hospital and I am not letting that happen." Kira replied firmly. "Not again. Not if I can do anything about it."

"What about those idiots you beat up earlier?" Lily teased.

"They'll live. A little break and hospital time and they'll be fine. I gave out worse beatings when I was alive." Kira responded and they returned to the classroom and walked inside. The kids were all still alive thankfully. But they were in very bad shape. Hanging on by a thread. She needed to do this now. Kira took out her wand and braced herself. This was going to suck.

"Uhhhh guys?" Kuma asked. "Wh-what is she doing?"

Kira blew out her breath and held her wand with both hands and raised it up to the ceiling and began chanting a White Magic Spell. "By The Church Of Uthrar! The Greatness Of Lutharoc! The Holy Scrolls Of Cippelic! The Luminous Regiment Of Nomartho! I Invoke The Kindness Of Gabriel! Relinquish your pain unto me!"

A brilliant white light shined out of her and covered the room in its entirety. Rays of light shined out of the wand as well and shined directly on each of the kids while a holy light illuminated the interior of Lily's wand form and spread down into Kira's body and the inside of her body began to glow with the radiant holy energies. The inside of her body was being lit up from the light. Lit up, illuminated and burned up from the inside. It felt like her body was being lit up on fire while acid rushed through her veins. She felt like she was melting away and burning to ashes in the lake of fire all over again. But she held on. She kept her grasp on her wand and she and Lily kept the magic going. For them.

Kira and Lily screamed in pain.

Akane's eyes snapped open and she sat up with a gasp. "Hoooly shiit....what the fuck? What the fuck? Where am...where...where the hell am I?" She asked and looked around her surroundings. She was surrounded by kids from her school...and sitting in the school courtyard. "S-school? School? What the fuck am I doing here? What's going on here?" For some reason the school gate was wide open which made this even more confusing. How the hell did she get here and why were the other kids here and why was the gate open? "Hoooly shit did I drop acid again?" Akane asked.

"Yo what the fuck?" Sanjiro asked her. "What are we all doing here and did I just hear you correctly?"

"You heard...nothing. Hey didn't you skip school today?"

"SANJIRO! Holy shit is that you man?" Niikura asked and hugged his best friend. "Where the hell have you been all day?!"

"I was...I was..." Sanjiro looked around while patting his bro on the back. "Where...what the hell happened?" He asked in confusion. "What was I doing all day? I feel like something happened to me but it's all a big blur."

"So everyone is as confused as I am?" Kuma asked. "Because I have no idea what I'm doing here. Nice to see you again though Sanjiro."

"Hey. Hey Kuma. Hey everyone. Any idea how we got here?"

"I don't know. I feel like...something happened. Like we were brought here for...something." Ayako replied in confusion. "But I don't remember what it was."

"Something...something...something bad happened." Iwai noted. "Something happened. We were brought here for...I don't remember what. Something went down and now we're here. Does anybody remember what it was?"

"I don't know. I feel like something happened to us but I can't remember." Akane admitted.

"Yo what the fuck? Why are we here? What happened to us?" Kokoro asked.

"What the hell is going on?" Shinkawa questioned.

"Is everybody okay? Is anybody hurt?" Kusomo asked the others.

The kids checked themselves out but they were all unharmed. Nothing was out of place. Their clothes were in pristine condition and they didn't even have a scratch.

"All clear." Ishikura replied.

"Okaaaay since we've established that we have no idea how we got here what do you say we get out of here while we can?" Akane asked the others. "I don't know about any of you? But I don't want to be caught here without any explanation."

"Yeah, yeah she's right. Come on. Lets go home and sort this out later." Niikura told the group. They all stood up and he held his friend's hand. "I missed you, Sanjiro, I may not remember how we got here but I'm glad you're alright."

"My man." They fist bumped. "Come on. lets go home. I don't remember how we got here either but I have the feeling I've been gone for a while. Come on. Lets get out of here."

The students ran off through the opened school gate but Ayako stopped halfway and looked back at the school.

"Ayako? Aya what's wrong?" Kuma asked her.

She smiled. "Tendou."

"Huh? The New Girl? What about her?"

"I don't know how but I think she saved us."

"What makes you say that?"

"A feeling." She replied. "A feeling." She turned and ran way with the others.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

An untransformed Kira Hikaru limped down an alleyway hunched over feeling along the wall with her hand while steam continued to rise off of her burned and charred undead flesh. Blood and spittle and mucus and vomit dribbled from her lips. Ahhhhcabschussedforthwithmink!" She mumbled and doubled over to puke. "BBBBLLLAAARGGGH! Fuuuck this HURTS! Why does it always have to hurt like this?"

"Magic that restores life instead takes life from things that have no life. Your body is so chock full of dark magic and demonic blood on top of being animated via necromantic magic that your body can't handle it. It has the opposite effect on you that it would have on a human and it actively harms you. Angels...don't really like it when creatures like us invoke their names for magic." Kira could hear Lily speaking to her in her mind but her voice was quiet and raspy now. If she was a normal human it would sound like she had throat cancer and had to struggle just to raise her voice above a whisper. Her wand form burnt and damaged from the spell. "On top of that? The spell you used? It transfered all of the pain they'd felt, physical and mental, into your body while healing them and wiping the slate clean. I'm impressed you can even move."

"Fuuuuck." She moaned. Kira Hikaru leaned against the wall and grasped her burnt charred wreck of an arm with her damaged hand, raised it up to her arm and opened her mouth wide before bit down hard on it and pulled on the flesh hard enough to tear a chunk out of it and let the blood flow down her arm, down her hand and onto Lily and then she resumed walking. "I've had worse...like when I died." Kira admitted. "This? This is a close second though."

"Kid..."

"Don't worry...about me...Lily. You just drink up. I'll be alright. I'm built to last. Remember? Those two lunatics really did their job in putting me back together....made me...strong. 'Sides, I've only got 991 souls more to go. I can't give up yet. I've gotta keep...on...going. It's just a little blood. It won't hurt me at all. Holy fuck how many bones did those kids break back there?"

"Well everybody there was nearly dead and you just took that damage onto yourself. This combined with the backlash of using White Magic like that? It's no wonder your body is in bad shape."

"But...I was using it for good? How does that make sense?"

"Halos are dicks, Kira Hikaru, besides you're playing for our team and invoking their magic. Not a good combination."

"...I need brains and you need a blood bath."

"A blood bath and a forge day." Lily confessed. "I think we need a day off."

"I'll talk to the boss after we sleep this off..."

"There you are! Kira Hikaru it is a school night! What are you doing running around in the dark like this?"

Kira looked up and managed to force a smile. "Hey there. Mother." She slumped over and fell into the demoness' arms.

"Come on now. Lets get you two home."

An orangish-red slit appeared in the lab and it spread outwards opening up like a doorway as The Butcheress stepped through into the labs with Kira and Lily in her arms. "Doctor! Doctor! You're needed! She did it again!" She called out while the portal closed behind her.

Nurse Macabre walked up to them and put a hand on her hip. "Oh Hikaru whatever are we going to do with you? Oh well."

She took the wand from her hand and placed it in a small case with intricate designs on it and then she closed the lid. The Butcheress followed her across the lab into the bathing room. The door slid open and they walked into a wide open room with one large intricately designed bath in the center covered by a giant silver lid with demonic symbols on it, several other bed baths of varying sizes and one bath that was seated on a large table. Upon reaching it she set the case down and opened it back up. She carefully removed the wand and the bed opened up to reveal a pit of swirling blood inside. She placed the wand inside and the lid closed back up. Leaving the wand to sink into a pit of blood far deeper than should be possible with the size of the box and the lid closed back up. Lily would recover but for now she had to rest. Nurse Macabre licked the blood off of her fingers and then they walked with Kira over to the large bed and it opened up to reveal a giant bath full of various chemicals, blood, organs and brain matter. Kira's already burned and tattered clothes were removed for disposal and she was lowered into the bath. The lid closed over and Kira Hikaru sank into it. This would be enough to cure Kira and heal the worst of her injuries. The rest could be resolved with a simple surgery. A robot rolled over and took the destroyed clothes away for disposal while another laid out fresh clothes for her. Doctor Graves walked up to the two women with a holographic screen displaying  a readout of her condition.

"My, my, Kira. That was quite reckless of you. Judging by the now dissipating energies floating around her and Lily she utilized a White Magic Spell to transfer the wounds of the captured civilians to herself. As a result the damage to her body was multiplied. Oh well. The good news is that it isn't anything we can't fix. Well let the two of them take a nap for right now and then let the Blacksmith take a look at Lily while we fix Kira's remaining injuries."

"Talk about a risk taker. That was certainly an illogical decision." Nurse Macabre commented while sliding a hand over her brain case and down the back of it through her hair. 

"That's what we call an emotional decision. Humans and demons love those." Butcheress replied with a short laugh.

They continued conversing among themselves as Kira sank away into the bath of swirling green liquid. She mumbled something in her sleep but her voice only came out with a 'Glub-blub-blub-blub' esque sound but her intention was only to mention a single name: "Mashiro..."
