Quest Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT0WpdrCJYE

Far off, nestled in an otherwise small Japanese town lies the Dark Gate Academy. An institution of tremendous size, the Academy holds a long kept secret. Unknown to the outside world, this unseemly town is home to a tear in our reality. A gate between our world and a bizarre dimension known as the Darkworld. The inhabitants of this hellish world breach this gate and attempt to flood into our reality and spread throughout the world on a regular basis. However, the Dark Gate Academy is home to students of truly extraordinary abilities. The ability to sense the presence of these evil Darkworld creatures, and defeat them in combat, sending them back through the gate.

They cannot close the rift between our world and the Darkworld, but the students and staff of Dark Gate Academy have dedicated their lives to using their amazing powers to hold back the darkness that plagues our world, even if it costs them their lives. They have risen up to the challenge and in secret have become great heroic defenders of the world as we know it.

For many years, Dark Gate Academy has held back the forces of the Darkworld, kept this unspeakable evil contained within their walls. But a dark cloud approaches, and times are about to change. A new chapter in the tale of Dark Gate Academy is about to begin.

>Previously on Dark Gate Academy...
Tsuki made his presence known on New Years, and has signalled the end of the world.

“This looks bad...”

Suffice it to say, morale was not high when Tsuki appeared on the television. You were already in a confused state moments before the reveal... you really didn't need the end of the world thrown on top of this.

“Kazuma, who was that?” your mother asks, staring intently at the screen. “Something about him... I could feel power just by looking at him. Is he some sort of...”

“Demon?” you ask. “Yeah, he is. Things have changed in the last year at that school... it's gotten more dangerous.”

“How?”

“Can't explain right now,” you reply. “Right now... we need to take care of this.”

“But Kazuma-”

“Stay inside mom,” Kiriko smiles and assures her. “We'll be fine, I promise.”

You turn to walk out the door, but your mother reaches out and grabs you by the wrist. He grip is tight, and keeps you firmly in place. “What is it...”

Your mother sniffles. “Kazuma... giving birth to you was the second most painful experience of my life.”

“And I take it the first was your accid-”

“No,” Namika replies. “The single most painful experience of my life was watching you and Kiriko leave for that school... but both of those were also the proudest moments of my life. When you were born and swaddled in clothing with that bright dumb face... so pudgy, didn't have any idea of the life ahead of him... I was so happy. You brought a light into my life, Kazuma... and a much as I cried every night after you and your sister left, I knew that the two of you would rise to the occasion, become leaders... heroes. You're my little baby boy, Kazuma... and I'm so proud of the man you're becoming. Please... be safe.”

“I will,” you promise your mother. “Mom... I'm sorry.”

“No, I'm sorry,” your mother replies. “I love you. Both of you.”

“Love you too, mom!” Kiriko smiles as the three of you exit her apartment. The door shuts behind, and you realise you didn't tell your mother you loved her... but you meant to. No time for that now, you'll tell her when you get back.

“It is time...” Mayu mutters, summoning her Katana. “We go into battle... together.”

“Man, what a crappy New Year...” Kiriko mutters. “Come on, guys! No time to waste!”

Kiriko rushes ahead, leaving you and Mayu to stare at each-other. A long silence falls between the two of you, before Mayu blushes and begins to move on.

“Mayu, wait!” you exclaim. “I need to know-”

“Kazuma... do you honestly expect to have this conversation now?” Mayu mutters.

“Good point...” you reply, scratching the back of your head. “Well, I... uhh... you're a good...”

“We must keep moving,” Mayu interrupts, pressing ahead.

You let out a sigh as she moves on. Just your luck... when things finally started to look like they were getting better, when you were sitting there, locking lips with this beautiful, wonderfully odd girl and exploring these new feelings... that's when the bad guy shows up. Of course.

You move on with the others to the outside, and... wow. The place is crawling with Darkworld energy, and figures... and demons.

“Man, do you think it's like this everywhere?” Kiriko asks.

“Nah, this is the biggest city,” you reply. “He obviously put most of his focus on here... we might be next on the chopping block after Raibaru...”

“Not very reassuring, bro.”

“Sorry...” you mutter.

“Well, what is our next course of action?” Mayu asks. “We must have some sort of idea to escape this.”

“Well, our first thought should be finding the others,” you command. “Hoshi senpai is probably at the Shooting Star offices... but look...”

You point to the top of the offices, drawing Kiriko and Mayu's attention towards the events transipiring... the building being attacked by a series of demons, led by... Selene. Of course, the entire building is coated in a massive shield that seems to be keeping them out. Hoshi's doing no doubt, but you're curious as to how much it's taking out of her while she does it by herself... even if Reiji's there backing her up, they won't last long.

“It's her again!” Kiriko yells. “That big demon jerk tried to kill us! She almost killed the dumb ape! Oh, I'll show her I mean business!”

“We may need back-up...” you mutter.

Mayu nods. “Well, are any of the others present in the city?”

You pause trying to think it through. “Hanako...”

“Hanako?” Kiriko asks. “She's from here?”

“Yeah,” you reply. “She's actually pretty close. Follow me, she told me where she lived a while ago.”

You, Kiriko and Mayu rush towards the gas station, just one street over from your mother's apartment building, and it doesn't take much to find Hanako on the street, sitting down and rubbing her backside, a flail by her side and surrounded by the black good of destroyed demons.

“Hanako... did you do that?” you ask.

“I-it was an accident!” Hanako mumbles, before looking around at the gooey puddles. “Oh, I beat them... nice!”

Hanako smiles, as you make your way over to her and help her to her feet. Of course, she butts heads with you as she does.

“Oops!” Hanako replies. “Sorry! H-how did all of this happen?”

“Tsuki,” you reply. “And he's got Yami by his side... but we're going to take them down.”

“Oh...” Hanako replies. “Oh look, the angel is here!”

Hanako points to the sky, as you see Selene being driven off by a blinding light, one set off by a blonde woman with large white wings, flying in the sky. Eos, the daughter of Taiyo. The two “sisters” do battle in the air, by Eos seems to get the better of it, driving Selene and her pack of Moonbeasts and Demons off before giving chase.

“Would have been nice if she could stop and chat...” Kiriko complains.

“It won't be the last we see of them today,” you reply.

“True...” Kiriko shrugs. “Now what do we do?”

"Good thinking," Kiriko nods. "Who knows when Selene gets back? Let's go!"

Kiriko bounces on ahead, as you look to Hanako. "Can you walk?"

"Yeah..." Hanako mumbles. "I've taken enough spills in my day. Is she okay?"

"Who? Kiriko?" you ask. "She's fine... why would you ask?"

"Oh..." Hanako mumbles. "She just seems too... happy."

You shake your head. "Don't worry, Kiriko's always like that. She never cracks under pressure... I'm glad, too. She's always the one that keeps us stable."

"Well, then let's go!" Hanako smiles, before taking a step forward and immediately tripping. Hitting you in the back, you fall forward and land atop Mayu... of course.

"O-oh, I'm so sorry!" Hanako exclaims. "A-are you-"

"We're fine," you sigh. "Sorry, Mayu."

"Your hand..." Mayu mutters, grimacing at where your hand is placed.

"Huh?" you ask. "I'm not groping anything... oh..."

You realise your hand rest directly atop where her car rests. "Sorry."

You pick yourselves up, as you make your way to the Shooting Star offices. Stepping through the front door... you should have expected there to be guns pointed in your face.

"Hands up!" a man with a rifle yells from behind a makeshift barricade in the main office. "Huh? You're just kids... but you're carrying weapons..."

"We're not here for a fight!" Kiriko exclaims, raising her hands. "We're here to help!"

"Children can't help us!" the man yells. "Go home! You're not allowed here!"

"And we're supposed to believe you?" The man asks. "You expect us to just send a bunch of mysterious kids with weapons to see the daughter of the boss on the top floor? You've got to be crazy!"

"Look," you sigh. "We really need to get going, so if you don't mind-"

"Take one more step and I'm gonna shoot!"

You shake your head. You wanted to avoid any conflict, but it looks like you have no real choice. You keep moving, as the man lets loose with fire... bullets simply ineffectively bouncing off your head. You make your way over to the man, bullets whizzing and flying, as you cassually grab his rifle and snap it in two. "Sorry."

"W-what are you?" the man asks.

You shake your head in shame as you and your group press on. You didn't want to give away your powers like that... but it seems you have no real choice. The four of you hop into the elevator and make your way to the top floor.

"So... they know about us," Kiriko mutters.

"This company has been funding the company," you explain. "I don't doubt the higher-ups know what it does."

"Yeah, but those were regular people..." Hanako mumbles. "Oh, we're gonna get detention for this, aren't we?"

You stare at Hanako. "That's what you're most scared of?"

"N-no..." Hanako explains. "But I can't talk about the other stuff without screaming..."

The doors swing open and you find yourself in the main office. Sitting in his chair is Hoshi's father, with her brother by his side... and in the middle of the room lies Hoshi and Reiji, the two of them laying on the floor, catching their breath.

"I can't believe we held it that long..." Reiji mutters.

"Y-yeah..." Hoshi gasps, before her eyes dart over to your group. "K-Kazuma! H-H-Hanako!"

"Senpai!" Hanako yells before rushing forward... slipping on nothing, and sliding across the floor, colliding head-first with Hoshi as both girls cry.

"Oh boy..." Reiji sighs, as he adjusts his glasses and rises to his feet. "It's good to see you kids are okay... but I don't think this is the safest place to hide out. We're a target up here... there's no telling how soon Selene will return."

"This boy..." Hoshi's father mutters. "In a situation like this... Reiji, did anyone mention you had a cool head under pressure?"

"No," Reiji replies.

"Hmm... not even your parents?"

Reiji shakes his head. "No... they never had nice words for me..."

"We need to get the others here," you reply. "Hoshi, can you get in contact with them?"

"M-me?" Hoshi asks, rubbing her head. "I... I can try... I think I have a spell for that..."

Hoshi closes her eyes and strains, before a puff of smoke appears before her. "S-Saki...? Ryoji?"

"Is... Is that Hoshi?" Saki's voice emanates from the puff of smoke. "Where are you?"

"I... I'm in Kingudoro," she explains. "B-but we're in trouble... S-Selene is here, and we need reinforcements..."

"Who else is with you?" Ryoji's voice asks.

"Me, Kiriko, Mayu, Hanako, Kazuma," Reiji rattles off the names.

"My kouhai is there?" Ryoji jokes, and you can feel the smirk through the smoke.

"No, he's not," you reply. "Shut up."

"Oh, I bet he had a great New Year," Ryoji adds. "Did you lay the moves on your friend yet?"

"N-no..." you partially lie. She came onto you first...

"Well, we have a problem," Saki explains. "We don't have much time to spare... we need to get to Raibaru. It still exists, and Tsuki is hiding out there... we have to defeat him before the Eclipse."

"We need more here!" you protest. "I know you can't spare many... but what about Class 1?"

"Class 1?" Saki asks. "No, you're all good... but you're all too inexperienced to carry such a dangerous mission by yourselves... even with Reiji and Hoshi there, I can't trust that you'll be a unified force. It would be a disaster... who would even lead you?"

>Reiji can do it, he's a great tactician.

>Reiji can do it, he's a great tactician.

"Me?" Reiji asks. "I'm no leader, Kazuma..."

"You could have fooled me," you reply. "We need someone smart, someone who can come up with a plan, give orders... you fit the bill."

"But I-"

"Reiji..." Hoshi mumbles. "You can do it... you've helped me a lot these last few months... I-I believe in you!"

"Hoshi..." Reiji mutters. "Okay. I'll take charge."

"Good," Saki replies. "Now Hoshi, can you teleport the members of Class 1 to you?"

"M-me?!" Hoshi exclaims. "A-all of t-them?!"

Hoshi's brother raises an eyebrow. "Do you have a problem with that, Hoshi?"

"N-no..." Hoshi mutters. "I-I mean, yes... y-you s-see, I've never used that spell right... every t-time, I've screwed it up, what if I-"

"Hoshi, I believe in you," Reiji replies. "If I can be leader... then you can do this."

"B-but I've never done it right!" Hoshi replies.

Reiji shakes his head. "But you can. Hoshi... can I tell you something?"

"Y-yeah..."

With that, Reiji leans in and whispers something into Hoshi's ear. Her face lights up, her eyes widen, and she gives a confident nod. "Okay. I can do it... I can do it... I can do it!"

Hoshi yells to herself as she closes her eyes, laying out her hands as she focuses. "Come to me! Class 1!"

In a flash of light, the entirety of Class 1 appears in the room... all of them falling on their asses while they're at it.

"Ow... dammit!" Gado yells before he even realises what happened.

"C-Chihiro...?" Makoto mumbles, "Where did you go?"

"Oh dear!" Atasuke exclaims in a giggle as he lands atop Hanako. "My beautiful dear Hanako, you honestly must stop being so clumsy!"

"But... I didn't move..."

"Oww..." Sae mutters. "My head... hey, where did the rest go?! I was with Class 3, dammit!"

"Gado!" Kuin yells. "My butt hurts!"

"YOUR butt?!" Chuichi yells. "You landed on me!"

"Quiet, subject!"

"Brainiac?" Gado mutters, as he spots Anri from across the room.

"Gado..." she gives a small smile. "You're okay..."

Gado wastes no time in rushing over to her and holding the detective. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," Anri replies. "You are squeezing me a little tight though, and... don't put your hand there! Not in public!"

"I'm just glad my girl's okay," Gado replies, causing Anri to blush. "I missed you."

Gado and Anri share a kiss, before Gado is tackled by someone else. "Gado!" Amaya yells as she takes him to the ground. She smiles and hugs him tight before realising what she's doing. "Oh... sorry! I don't know what came over me, that was so-"

Gado bursts into laughter. "You're both okay... Kuin too... I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

"Roka?" Kiriko asks. "Hey Roka? Ape, you there?"

"I don't see him," you reply.

"S-sorry," Hoshi explains. "H-he was a little resistant to being teleported... he and Alice aren't here right now... b-but they're nearby! I-I think... Mio was fighting for her own home, s-so I couldn't bring her here either..."

"What the hell just happened?" Akuro asks. "I was just with my brother, and then..."

"Selene is attacking this building," you explain. "We need to defend it."

"Us?" Chuichi asks. "I don't want to call that a crazy idea, but... we don't stand a chance against a demon... we're just the freshmen."

"We'll be fine as long as we can work as a team," you explain.

Ninsei scoffs. "And isn't that the problem?" he asks, making his way to the centre of the room. "Face it... we're not a team. We're not even a class... most of us hate each-other. We're all just a bunch of misfits."

"That doesn't matter," Reiji explains, taking charge. "I understand... you all come from different backgrounds... not many of you have happy stories. But you're a class... and that means you're a family. I didn't like my class when we started... but I learned that when it comes to a situation like this... your class is your lifeline. You are all bound together by a force that none of us can explain... call it whatever you want, but this force keeps us all together. It's a feeling in your chest that tells you the right thing to do... all you kids need to do is listen to it."

"Ninsei..." Risa mutters, picking herself up. "I'm sorry for everything my father did. He was a monster."

Ninsei hangs his head low. "Yeah, he was... but you're not..."

"You heard him!" Mai pumps her fist. "It's all about friendship!"

"Yeah!" Ukon yells. "Friendship is the answer! Let's friendship it up!"

"And I shall sing the song of friend-"

"For the love of god, no!" Tami gasps before Mai can start.

"Twin Lions..." Kaiya mutters, sitting beside you.

"Twin Lions?" you ask. "That's the name of the school I went to."

"No," Kaiya replies. "It is, and it isn't... I see Twin Lions..."

>Tell me about your visions, Kaiya

"Not visions," Kaiya replies. "Feelings. Twin Lions..."

"What are you talking about?" you ask.

Kaiya winces in pain before smiling. "A shadow meets it's shadow today... I like you. You're special."

"That's nice, but it's still gibberish," you sigh. "Kaiya... what made you like this?"

"Always... I never wasn't like this," she replies. "Twin Lions..."

With that, Kaiya collapses. "Whoa, are you okay?" you ask.

Kaiya lies limp on the floor, as you check for a pulse. She's still breathing... but you have no idea what's going on with her.

"Kaz, can I talk to you for a sec?" Kiriko places her hand on your shoulder.

"Uhh... sure?" you reply, as your sister takes you aside. "What's up?"

"Kaz..." she mutters, her eyes darting down. It's not long before her eyes begin to water. "I... I'm scared..."

"Kiriko..."

"I-I don't want to die..." Kiriko begins sobbing... looks like she couldn't keep up her excited tone for too long. Not while it's all going down like this.

You sigh. "Don't cry... I'm supposed to be the little bro..."

"We're not gonna make it out of this..." Kiriko mutters. "We can't... how are we supposed to do this, Kaz?"

>Just follow me, sis. I'll look out for you.

>Because we're a team. A team you started, remember?

"Heh..." Kiriko gives a small laugh through her tears. "That seems so long ago now... The Darkworld Investigation Group... funny, everything we learned about the Darkworld, we learned accidentally."

You give a small chuckle as well as you embrace your sister with a hug. "Yeah, that is funny... we can laugh about it over the next meeting, sis..."

You feel Kiriko's hands clutching the back of your shirt as she sniffles into your chest. "I couldn't do this without you, Kaz..."

"And I couldn't do this without you..." you reply, hugging her tighter.

"Hate to interrupt," Reiji explains, "But we need to get ready... here comes Selene."

You look outside, to see the female demon flying towards the building... with a limp and lifeless Eos being dragged along in the air by the hair.

"She beat h-her..." Hoshi mumbles.

"Eos..." Makoto mutters, "No..."

"Aww, did someone think they were safe?" Selene smirks, as she holds Eos high. "I just wanted all you kids to see this!"

Selene holds Eos high... as black energy begins to stream from her hands. It covers the beaten Eos and begins to twist her visage, from a beautiful blonde angel... to a dark, red-eyed horned demon, similar in appearance to Selene herself. "Her true form! Just like my father always said... angels aren't real!" she exclaims, as the dark energy consumes Eos, consuming her and absorbing her into Selene, who's eyes light up with delight.

"Ah, my sister was delicious!" she laughs.

"You monster!" Makoto yells.

"What was that?" Selene smirks. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you through... that... window!"

With a sweep of her forked weapon, the force emitted by Selene causes the large window in the office to explode, exposing you to the outside... and Selene.

"Oh, what's this?" Selene laughs. "Do you all expect to fight? Well, I'll spare your lives... for a little exchange."

"We're not negotiating with a demon," Ninsei spits. "Piss off-"

Ninsei is silenced with a dark energy beam to his hip, downing him.

"Daddy said he'll leave you alone if you give him want he wants..." Selene smiles. "Who he wants... the little ninja."

"Me?" Kiriko mutters.

"You're not taking my sister," you growl. "Tsuki can go to hell!"

"Why do that?" Selene asks. "When we're already bringing hell to you?"

You wince, as Kiriko clutches your arm. "M-maybe I should..."

"Kiriko, what are you talking about?" you ask.

Kiriko shakes her head. "Kaz... we can't fight her. Not without anyone dying... look what she did to Eos... if I go with her for now, she'll spare you... she'll spare the ape... she'll spare Mayu..."

>No, you're not going anywhere. We stay and fight.

Normally nothing good comes from giving the bad guy what he wants, but golly gosh this is a hard choice. She kicked our butt last time too, and now she ate Eos so she's even stronger? Fuck that.

She beat us before at half strength even with Class 2's help, we need time to regroup.
>>
>>1317457
>>1317460
>>1317466
First of all you're forgetting she can lie
Second of all if we do this Kiriko is dead, he'll execute her publicly and messily to break the class.
Third of all this is going to basically cause teamwork to go in the shitter without her.
>>
>>1317468
please listen to this man and not shit meme
>>
>>1317455
>No, you're not going anywhere. We stay and fight
>>
>>1317468
But she still handily kicked our ass before. And if she did get stronger cause of Eos, we're fucked. Even if she didn't we'd get pretty roughed up. Can't argue much against the other points though.
>>
>>1317455
>>No, you're not going anywhere. We stay and fight.
>>
>>1317468
If we don't hand Kiriko over she'll wreck us here anyway, but if we do hand her over chances are Tsuki'll wait for everyone in the cast to get together before he tries something in order to try and break morale, and that's our best chance to attack.
>>
>>1317471
There is nothing to stop her from killing Kiriko on the spot once she surrenders, or to "spare" us going through Armageddon by execution on the spot. Demon can lie.

>>1317474
So if it's get wreckt or get wreckt why are we handing over Kiriko? Handing her over basically fractures the class hard, he could execute her immediately(which given he's been pragmatic about beating threats is what i'd expect) He'd table all of class one or get them so off balance they're useless. Especially since it'd fuck with Alice who is a legit threat to him.
>>
>>1317477
Maybe Tsuki a dumb and you're worrying over nothing.
>>
>>1317477
It's a choice between guaranteeing a wrecking now or possibly having enough time to gather our forces to survive a wrecking.
>>
>>1317478
or perhaps you are doing a stupid option for the fun of it.
>>
>>1317481
Meh, it lost anyway, all good.
>>
>>1317478
Given he immediately targeted Sayeka to get to Taiyo? I doubt it. Especially since we just confirmed Kiriko is more or less the heart of the class.

>No, you're not going anywhere. We stay and fight.

"But Kaz-"

"But nothing," you reply. "I'm not handing you over. I don't trust that demon, and we're never splitting the group up like that."

"Kaz..." Kiriko mutters. "You're right! I'm not going anywhere with you! I'm staying here... with my family!"

Selene yawns. "Very nice. Wasn't a choice."

Selene swipes her weapon again, sending all of you flying towards the wall, with Reiji having to dive to save Hoshi's father. With that, Selene launches herself towards the building, grasping for Kiriko... before having her hand cut off.

"AAAAGH!" Selene screams as blood spurts from her hand, and before her stands a man in black armour... and a red mask.

"STAY BACK, FOUL DEMON!" Roka screams. "YOU SHALL NOT LAY HANDS ON MY FRIENDS!"

"Oh, how cute..." Selene grimaces, as black goo begins to reform into a hand yet again. "The boy in dress-up thinks he's helping again! Don't you remember how I-GAH!"

Selene doens't have time to speak as Roka launches himself at her, stabbing his Katana into her chest. She tosses Roka, who is launched across the sky. Gado begins to fire upon Selene, littering her with bullets before the others join in.

"Dumb ape..." Kiriko smiles. "Just a sec, Kaz..."

Kiriko leaps from the window and teleports towards Roka, saving him from his descent.

As the others lay into Selene with their sheer firepower, you summon your sniper rifle. "Kazuma," Mayu mutters. "Be careful."

"I will," you reply. "Just stand back, Mayu."

You ready your rifle, pointing it directly at Selene. You pull the trigger, and catch the demon square in the chest, sending her flying back.

"You got her!" Hanako exclaims with excitement.

"Not yet," you reply, before taking another shot, catching Selene in the shoulder. You take another, hitting her in the forehead, spinning backward through the air.

"Good work," Reiji mutters.

"Yeah, but we aren't taking her down," you reply. "She's too tough."

Selene snaps her fingers, before a group of Moonbeasts appear in the air next to her, launching themselves into the office. One comes directly for you, but Mayu is quick to stab into it. The firing upon Selene soon stops as the class focus on the beasts attacking them.

"Ha! Bet you weren't expecting-GAH!" Selene yells, before taking a dagger to the shoulder from a teleporting Kiriko.

You take a few more shots at Selene, but as the Moon Beasts fill the room, you realise that you have to press ahead to attack Selene. You draw your sword and begins to charge... but you're stopped by Mayu, who grabs you by your free hand.

"Kazuma..." she states. "Together."

"Right," you smile. "Together."

The two of you ready your blades before leaping from the window, the two of you going after Selene while she hovers in mid-air. Mayu takes the first swipe, Selene moving aside, but leaving herself open to an attack from you, slicing her across the chest.

Selene yells before grabbing you by the throat and tossing you aside... luckily, you have Kiriko backing you up, who grabs and teleports you back into swinging distance of Selene. You and Mayu together slice away at Selene over and over again, until the annoyed demon lets loose with a blast of energy, sending yourself and Mayu flying. Kiriko comes to the rescus, teleporting the two of you to the nearest rooftop where she also left Roka, a long way down from the top of the Shooting Star skyscraper... but Selene still gives chase.

"You know, you humans sure are annoying!" Selene yells. "Now I know why my daddy hates you so much!"

Before Selene can finish speaking, you go ahead and swipe at her with your blade across the chest.

"AGH! Why do you keep doing that?!"

You waste no time in getting to work on Selene once again, you clashing with her Trident. She shoves you back, but Mayu is quick on the attack, picking up the slack. Selene knocks her back, and a now maskless Roka joins the fray, bringing his blade down and smashing Selene into the building's roof.

Selene fights back, as the three of you use your skill and numbers to gang up on her and picking away at every opening she leaves.

"She is so full of power..." Mayu notes. "But she has never been trained to use it. She has no skill... that is where our advantage lies."

She's right, you've noticed it yourself. Selene exudes power, incredible power, and it will be near impossible to lay a fatal blow on her... but it's clear that she's a sloppy fighter. It's the one thing you have over her. She has the power... but you, Mayu and Roka have the skill.

"Heh, how great is this?" you note. "The three greatest fighters in Class 1, finally being able to fight side by si-"

"Shut up Kazuma," Roka grunts. "You're makin' it less cool."

"Hey!"

"He has a fair point," Mayu admits. "It was a very pointless observation."

"Not you too!" you sigh. "Whatever, let's just focus on Selene..."

The three of you get to work, attacking Selene. She's fast as hell, and dodges a lot of your shots, but with the three of you working in tandem, you're able to land more than a fair share of attacks.

"Gah! That's it!" she yells. "Time to kill!"

She lets out a blast aimed directly towards Roka, ready to pierce through his chest... but Kiriko teleports in for the save. She grabs Roka and teleports him directly in front of Selene, allowing him to level her with a punch to the face.

"Whoo!" Kiriko yells. "We kinda make a good team, Ape! Who'd have thought?"

"Yeah..." Roka smiles. "Fly... can I kiss you after this?"

"Well, that's not very romantic..." Kiriko pouts. "But of course you can, you dumb ape."

"What is this..." Selene mutters. "Why are you all so happy?! You're not supposed to be happy! Stop it!"

"We're going to run out of energy before she does at this rate," you remark.

"What do you suppose we do?" Mayu asks.

"Mayu, are you ready for this?" you ask.

"Of course," Mayu gives a small smile that tightens your chest just to look at it.

Mayu launches herself at Selene, slicing with her blade, but you don't follow. Instead, you draw out your sniper rifle as Mayu, Roka and Kiriko continue to take on the demon. They keeps swiping at Selene, who continuously dodges and weaves in response, but you are ready, pinpointing her position and firing. The bullet whizzes through the air and pierces through one of Selene's six strangely shaped wings. Selene cries out in pain as Mayu comes in next, clipping yet another wing. Roka grabs hold of two of her wings, and forcibly removes them with her hands, while Kiriko takes out another. Selene collapses onto the roof, clearly badly hurt by that assault.

"Why..." Selene cries. "Why?! Daddy... daddy told me that humans..."

You approach Selene with your sword, pointing it at her.

"D-Daddy told me..." Selene mutters in pain. "He told me that... humans were weak... that they were pathetic... that they needed to be squashed. But you... you're strong. All of you. How did..."

You shake your head. "Don't you get it, you're nothing but a pawn," you explain. "Just a weapon to be used by your father. You don't know anything... you don't know how the world works... maybe you should listen to us."

Selene throws her head back, looking up to the sky while on her knees. "You... you... are so stupid... ahh..."

Selene begins to chuckle, as you raise an eyebrow. "What's going on?"

"Nothing..." she smiles. "I just finished digesting my sister."

Before you can react, Selene's bladed wings re-sprout and repair themselves, before she embeds two of them into your shoulders.

"Gah!" you call out as Selene pins you down.

"Kazuma!" Mayu yells out in concern.

"Kaz!" Kiriko does the same.

"Idiot!" Roka yells, before the three move to save you. Selene chuckles and smiles smugly before tossing you back, bowling over the other three. Selene readies a blast which she fires directly at your pile.

"Out of the way, Ape!" Kiriko yells, using the split second she has to push Roka out of the way, leaving only the three of you to be caught in the blast, a flash of light enveloping the three of you, and then...

Darkness.

"Hello?" you call out. "Anyone there?"

"Kazuma?" Mayu's voice echoes. "Kazuma, where are you?"

"I'm right here!" you yell, reaching out into the darkness.

"Stay there!" Mayu yells. "I will find you!"

You keep your hand out in the darkness, before you soon feel another brush against you. A hand runs itself down your arm and finds you own hand, interlocking fingers with you. You know that feeling, it's Mayu.

Before you know it, the Darkness is gone, but you lie in a room with none other than Mayu... on top of you.

"Kazuma... your hand..." Mayu grimaces.

"But I'm not touching the scar this ti-"

"No, my breast," Mayu cuts in.

"Oh..." you realise, hesitating before eventually pulling your hand away. "Uhh... maybe you should get off me..."

"Yes... maybe I should..." Mayu mutters, hesitating before eventually climbing off of you. "Kazuma, I don't understand... there does not seem to be an exit to this room."

Crap, she's right... "Selene trapped us in here..." you mutter. "Wouldn't be a trap if there was a way out. Dammit..."

You notice Kiriko lying unconscious in the corner of the room, and you quickly move to examine her. "Damn, she hit her head..." you mutter. "Kiriko's out cold."

"Is she okay?" Mayu asks.

"She'll be fine," you say, resting Kiriko's head in your lap as you inspect the back of it.

Mayu pushes her hands against the walls and strains. "No use..." she mutters. "It appears that we are trapped here for the time being."

"Yeah..." you mutter.

"What should we do?"

>Maybe we can talk about my dad.

Mayu pauses. "Yes... of course. I suppose it is about time, particularly now that we..."

"We...?"

"Nothing," Mayu replies, sitting down next to you. She instinctively rests her head on your shoulder. "Kazuma... your father is not the hero you believe him to be."

"Well, now we have time for you to tell me why," you add. "I need to know, Mayu. Stop hiding it from me. You told me he killed your father... how? What did he do?"

"I do not know the full story myself," Mayu admits. "I simply know the most important detail... many years back, your father and mine were the best of friends. They attended the same class, graduated together... and Kankuro Asai and Kano Nakatoni were considered the greatest fighters that ever were. But then..."

"Then what?"

"On a Darkworld excursion... our fathers' team came across a large Darkworlder, a powerful and massive beast. Their mission... to capture it and study it. Your father's strategy... his strategy was to use my father as bait. My father was killed... and they never captured the creature."

"Mayu..." you mutter, taking her hand. "I'm... I'm so sorry."

"When I was first told the story," Mayu explains. "I could not believe that a man could be so callous, so heartless as to send his own best friend to death for a fruitless mission. To abandon his friend as he was being torn apart, to ignore his screams... I thought that such a man would only be capable of evil. Only capable of spawning evil... and yet, I met you. You were nothing like I expected, Kazuma. I never could have expected... you. I never expected the son of Kankuro Asai to be such a good man, a kind man... a man that I could... I could..."

>You're a good friend Mayu. Let's get out of here.

"A... friend?" Mayu pauses. "Y-yes... a friend. That is all..."

Kiriko stirs in your lap, stretching out and letting out a yawn, before jolting awake in a panic. "Ape! What the...? Where are we? Are the other's okay?"

"I don't know," you answer both questions at once. "But we need to find a way out of here."

"How about that hallway?" Kiriko suggests, pointing directly before her.

"Huh..." you mutter, "That... wasn't there before."

The three of you follow the hallway down, following a dim blue light at the end of it. A nice blue, a calming blue... a very, very familiar blue. You owned a stone that colour, once... a gift from your father.

"Kaz, look!" Kiriko yells, pointing to the hallways. Projected in them is a view of your class, your team... battling, Selene, and struggling. Gado is down, and it doesn't look like he's breathing. Roka is fighting with everything he has, but his armour is cracked and he's running on empty. Risa, Tami and Sae are desperately firing on Selene while Reiji and Kuin make plans. The twins are battling Selene while Akuro tries to patch up those that are unconscious. Mai and Ukon are down and bleeding... are they even alive?

"A vision?" Kiriko asks.

"No..." you sadly reply. "That's what's happening now..."

Your attention is caught again by the blue light. The blue light that you follow to the end of the hallway, as a familiar voice calls out to you.

"Kazuma... Kazuma..." your father's voice speaks. "Son... I miss you. I'm still alive... I need you to find me. That stone... you need it to find me."

"The stone..." you mutter. "I need it..."

"Kazuma?" Mayu asks with a tone of concern. "Are you okay?"

"Kazuma..." your father mutters. "They're holding you back. You know how great you can be... how much you need me. Please son, come into the light. I wish to see you again."

"Yes..." you mutter. "I need my father..."

"Kaz, what are you talking about?" Kiriko mutters.

"N-no..." you mutter.

"Face it, Kazuma... you're nothing without me," Kankuro states. "Look at you, Kazuma... you were never able to live up to my name..."

"No, that's not true..."

"Always trapped in my shadow... you've been pathetic. You'll never be the next Kankuro Asai... because you allow them to hold you back. They're holding you down, forcing you to sink..."

"No!" you call out into the light. "They aren't! They... they're the only thing keeping me afloat! My friends... they keep me strong! I'd be nothing without them!"

"You can't live without me, without your father-"

"I've done pretty well so far!" you yell. "I... I don't need you! I'm my own man, and... I'm lucky enough to have people who drive me... drive me to be better than I am! I don't need that stone!"

The light disappears, as you and the other two find yourselves atop the rooftop once more.

"Uhh... what the hell happened?" Kiriko asks.

"Kazuma, what did you hear?" Mayu asks.

>I... heard my father.

>I... heard my father.

"Your father..." Mayu mutters. "Then what you were saying... you were saying to him?"

"Yeah..."

"Kaz..." Mayu mutters. "I am so proud of you."

"Me too," Kiriko smiles. "What you said... we really are here to help you."

"I know," you smile, grabbing your sword. "Now, let's finish this."

You leap from the roof and the two girls follow you. You land on your feet, brandishing your blade in front of Selene, just as she tosses a barely conscious Roka aside.

"Oh, you escaped?" she smirks. "Well, too late! I've already beaten all of you! Now to hit the killing blow-"

"Not all."

You turn your head back, and Selene looks in the direction of the voice as well. "Kaiya? What are you doing?"

The strange girl of Class 1 stands behind you, holding a spear. "I... felt it. Did you?"

"Feel what?"

"I must fight..." Kaiya explains. "I must fight... for the Twin Lions. I... I will deliver death."

"Oh, the little girl thinks she can fight now!" Selene laughs. "Do you really think you can hurt me, little girl?"

"Not hurt... kill."

>Well... time to see what Kaiya can do in a fight.

You allow Kaiya to step forward, as Selene smirks, staring at the blonde weirdo. "Oh, and what is this little girl going to do?" She laughs. "Recite some poetry? Stare me into submission? Or maybe sh-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Selene is interrupted by Kaiya setting her alight in a pyre of uncontrollable flames, a twister of fire that rises up into the clouds above, heating up the surrounding area.

"D-did you know she could do that...?" Kiriko asks.

"No idea," you reply in amazement.

Selene continues to scream in the pyre, as Kaiya simply smiles. "The little spider has been caught in a trap," she remarks as Selene burns away. She tries to escape the pyre of fire, but is trapped inside, unable to break free of her prison... as Kaiya closes it in. "Goodbye, little spider."

"No!" Selene screams. "You can't do this to me! My daddy will... daddy will... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!"

With that, Selene begins to to melt away into black goo, burning up and disappearing for good.

The pyre disappears, as Kaiya falls back yet again... but this time, she's glowing.

"Kaiya?" you mutter. "What are you... Kaiya!"

It's too late, as Kaiya begins turn into a blinding white light... and when your eyes adjust yet again... she's gone.

"What just happened?" Kiriko asks. "Where's Kaiya... how was she so strong?"

You shrug. "I don't know... but it sounds like a mystery for the Darkworld Investigation Group, doesn't it?"

Kiriko smiles. "Yeah... Ape!"

Kiriko rushes to Roka's side, as he slowly picks himself up off the ground. She leaps into his arms, and he instinctively twirls her around. He sets her on her feet, as Kiriko slowly leans in, and their lips lock.

"Oh..." Mayu mutters, as she looks away.

You should probabpy lay it out as a vote for kissing her then for booker's tally.

>>1318294
If I may ask, why does it feel off? This is kind of emotional catharsis at the end. And Kaz is putting his dad behind him. Seems a good time to try an awkward relationship.

I just don't like the ship man. No bully

This just really isn't the right moment

it'll just come off as a pity kiss
>>
>>1318305
Feels forced. It was the Roka/Kiriko kiss that made me think they're kinda just following up.
>>
>>1318305
Eh I'd disagree heavily that Kaz is in any proper emotional state for any of this, even if he's dealing with his dad issues he is still in therapy remember.

It's the same reason it never makes sense to ship Shinji with people. They have better things to worry about personally than relationships.

And if the relationship is worth it, then it will be there for them when they are ready.

Fair enough. I don't like it. Not one bit. But it at least seems like its not just outright rejection.

But I guess this is what happens with Wars...

I just don't really feel happy about this ending. It should be triumphant, but this just feels deflating.

It is true that while the first chance looked right this one is kind of forced but that is not going to matter in the end if people just don't want the ship they will keep voting against it.

While KazxMayu wasn't my first ship I do believe is the one that makes more sense and the one that benefits Kaz the most, but anons and Waifu Wars will always be a thing.
>>
>>1318354
Not really on the friendSHIp. But I get it.

Its really a shame that the two top leaders in the race also seem to have significant resistance.

>>1318349
I think its just an issue of the initial rejection, after the kiss at New Years and then not doing it is infinitely worse for Mayu's psyche.

Anons voted themselves into a corner.

Oh well, I guess I will wait until S3.

>>1318348
I don't think its happening. I think this will be the end of Kaz's part for S2.

Especially considering that Booker has said that the final POV of the season isn't going to be Kaz or Ryoji.

>>1318374
Yeah, I see it as thematically making sense. But the boat is missed for this season...

We still have 2 more episodes left so the last episode will end on Kaz most likely

>I think its just an issue of the initial rejection, after the kiss at New Years and then not doing it is infinitely worse for Mayu's psyche.

While I agree with the voting into a corner thing, I think its wrong to think that just cause your stuck in a corner you can't break through a wall.

It may not be a pretty exit from the corner but it is an exit nonetheless. Or in more DGA terms, yes it would have been better had we kissed and then kissed here, or not kissed and then not kissed, it makes a cleaner story thats slightly better defined. However that doesn't mean kiss then dont kiss, or dont kiss then kiss aren't equally as possible and important options.

All I ask is that it's respected that not going for a waifu doesn't automatically mean that the other side thinks the waifu is shit or is trying to sink the quest, while that could be true its a fierce and damaging generalisation.
Like I said I just don't think Kaz is ready for that kind of choice/commitment in his personal and mental state.

"Yes, we did it..." Mayu smiles. "To think... we fought so hard, and all we ever needed to do was seek Kaiya. It... it is quite funny..."

"Wait... did you just find something funny?" you laugh.

"Perhaps..." Mayu smiles. "But the battle is not over, Kazuma. We still need..."

Mayu is interrupted by the opening of a portal in the middle of the street. You know what this means... out from the portal steps Alice, accompanied by Concordia... as well as Akihito, Takeshi and Tekina?

"I'm here to save the..." Alice begins. "Wait, did I miss it? Whoops!"

"Yeah, we handled this one on our own..." Risa smiles. "But hey! It's good to see you."

"Oh well, I'll take care of the other guys!" Alice smile cheerily. Mayu's right... the battle still isn't over. Yami and Tsuki still remain... and they are stronger than Selene, no doubt.

"Oh geez, we didn't make it in time?" Takeshi sighs. "W-well, are you kids okay? You... you're all still alive right?"

"Yeah... we are," you reply. "Thankfully, we have no casualties... a lot of injuries, though."

"Oh man!" Takeshi sighs. "Sorry, pal! I can't believe we were late!"

"Wait... you guys came to back us up?" you ask.

Akihito nods. "Yes... the three of us... we've stayed on the sidelines for too long. We're not just teachers... we're fighters. And it's time we joined the fight."

Wow... that's three heavy hitters on your side. You can't wait to finally see what they are like in action... but more than anything, your attention turns to you class... all of them, broken... bleeding... in more pain than you can imagine... but victorious. And not just victorious... happy. Smiling. From Kiriko and Roka embracing, to Gado bouncing Kuin on his knee as Amaya tends to his wounds, from Anri helping Akuro to her feet, to Tami hugging an injured Ninsei, to Makoto giving Sae a helping hand, to Atasuke flirting with Hanako, to Chuichi joking and laughing with Mai and Ukon... you may not be perfect. None of you are perfect... but this is a family.

And you know that as the years go by... they'll always be by your side. Kiriko, Mayu, Mio, Alice, Gado, Kuin, Anri... all of them. You're the luckiest kid in the world.

And so, it's a season wrap on Kazuma! We'll still see more of the guy in the following episodes, but this is sadly his last POV of the season, and a season closer for Class 1! What do you think lies in store for them in Season 3?

If there isn't an episode that isn't just literally everyone in class 1 taking a turn with Akahito in therapy i will be slightly annoyed.

Thanks for running Booker.

Definitely more therapy visits for everyone, how they managed to function this far into the quest I'll never know.

And Hanako revealing she's the killer after messing up one of her "accidents".

Much as I was spending the time between the final update really sad/frustrated, I think this was a beautiful last update and a fantastic thread. The highs and lows were top notch.

Well, at this point my only real prediction is more fun times mingling with Class 2. And trying to figure out what was Kaiya's deal(angel, perhaps? Or Archdemon, but benevolent like Dreamer/Stranger?)

Also I expect more time for our lesser knowns to shine. They deserve some spotlight!

Fair points, anon. I didn't mean to sound like that was my angle. I was just feeling defeated. The celebrations at the end of the vote didn't help matters. But like I said, I have hope for a time when Kaz and (hopefully) Mayu is ready for this. I will admit, she did seem to take our choice okay.
