As the creatures surrounding Stella and Kenos ran towards them, Elias and Yuzui were watching through the window.

Yuzui: Hey...Kit.

Kitsune: What's up?

Yuzui: Who exactly were the people that Stella had killed?

She stayed quiet for a second as Nahe, Elias, Acheron, and Nichi looked at her.

Kitsune: Ken...never told you?

Yuzui: He mentioned them but never really MENTIONED them...y'know?

Kitsune: Well...

As lightning struck some creatures surrounding them, Kenos grabbed his halberd and pierced through one. He was now back to back with Stella as more of them kept appearing. The ground shook as the ground under them suddenly started moving up.

Stella: Volk-

The sledgehammer flew towards him at immense speed. With no chance to react, Stella's arm came clean off.

Volk: You know if only this had happened instead...

The sledgehammer flew back into Volk's hand. As Kenos tried ripping into reality again, a loud bang was heard. Volk had hit the sledgehammer against the shield causing the two to lose their powers temporarily.

Volk: If I had this power before, we could have stopped her. Together.

Stella fell forward and off of the platform that was lifted. As he was about to get jumped from every creature on the ground, a blue flame surrounded him which scared away the creatures. Volk looked over at the figure running over. As their eyes widened from seeing each other, the platform moved down slowly.

Kitsune: It can't-

Volk: You-

Stella's Telum began to lose its power and was unsummoned. The now open wounds started to spill blood on the floor. He moved his body up with one arm and coughed up blood. Kitsune noticed him immediately and created another arm out of spirit energy on him which stopped the bleeding.

Kenos moved in between Kitsune and Volk while holding his Halberd. Volk stomped the grass which caused the ground under Kenos to move up and send him into the air. He then moved over towards Kitsune but not before Kenos ripped into reality once again and created a portal under him and in front of Volk which launched him into Volk, knocking him back.

Kenos: Don't go anywhere near her, you shouldn't be alive.

Volk: Who the hell are you?

Kenos: That's not important. Get the hell away before this gets worse.

Kitsune: Ken-

Kenos: Stop!

Clouds filled the sky as a thunderstorm appeared. Lightning immediately struck Volk.

Volk: That won't work this time.

He let out smoke from his mouth as he threw the shield up and used his sledgehammer as a bat to send the shield flying toward Kenos. As he put the halberd forward, a blue barrier appeared between the two.

Kitsune: Stop!

She ran over to see if it was Volk who was there.

Kitsune: It's you...how?

Volk: You stayed with him?!

Kitsune: It's a long story...

Kenos: How can you trust him? Didn't you see him die?!
