Nigel is fighting himself, the version of him born from the darkness.

  Nigel: Give up!

  Legin looked at him.

  Legin: what do you really want from me?

  Nigel: I want to borrow your abilities for a while.

  Legin looked at him confused

  Legin: then why don't you just do it?

  Nigel: because I want to make a deal before that.

  Legin: am I listening?

  Nigel: You will enter the enemy's mind, you will destroy them, in any way you want.

  Legin: where's the catch?

  Nigel: you just need to make sure they don't give away my secret, and let us off this Island. All the people I came here with are leaving with me, alive. I will allow you to enter someone else's mind, and return to mine. If you manage to do your part, I promise you, the moment will come when I will let you out. Whether you manage to take advantage of that opportunity is up to you, but at least now you have a chance. What do you say?

  Legin studies him,

  Ace and "Aaron"

  Aaron: it's okay... now you can tell me everything... remember how we used to compete? You could never beat me and it was driving you crazy...

  She looked at him

  Aaron: I remember how much time we spent together... I remember how I could always find you in a tree... sitting or lying on a tree branch.

  Ace remembers everything

  Ace: You remember that?

  Aaron: I remember everything... every fight, every hug, every laugh... I even remember our first and last kiss...

  She looked at him. Aaron takes a step closer

  Aaron: I remember being by your side... always, and you always had my back. Can I be honest with you... Assassia?

  Ace: how do you... only he called me that...

  Aaron: I called you that because I didn't know how to correctly spell your name... we were kids, it made more sense to me, and I still think it suits you better.

  Ace: and about what you wanted to be honest?

  Aaron never leaves her eyes.

  Aaron: What if I told you... that this is really me... the boy you knew.

  Ace doesn't believe, she holds her katana tighter.

  Ace: Aaron is gone.

  Aaron: do I look you like I am gone, Assassia?

  She looks at him, studying him. She steps closer, he stands in front of her.

  Aaron: what if I tell you... I survived?

  Ace: then I would tell you, that is impossible, I watched you... him die.

  Aaron: you sure about that?

  She had a hard time but she stayed tough.

  Ace: Oh I am sure.

  She attacks him, but he fastly dodged.

  He laughs.

  Aaron: is that all you got?

  She attacked more aggressively.

  Kaya and ayak

  They are fighting

  Kaya: get out of my way!

  Ayak: Nope

  She attacks her.

  Kaya: you can’t be me, because I am not such a bitch!

  Ayak looks at her calm

  Ayak: it's too boring when we have the same powers, how about changing things up a bit?

  She transforms into another person. She transforms into Nuri

  Ayak: How about him?

  Kaya: Oh please, I kick his ass on a daily basis, beside if you don't plan to transform into Dorian from my class, who had an amazing body, you and I have nothing to talk about.

  Ayak: remember, I can just transform into Dorian from your memory.

  Kaya: it looks even better there, she imagines.

  Ayak: but I won't do that.

  Kaya: the only useful thing from you and you can't even do that right.

  Ayak: Are you sure you will continue to fight with me no matter who I transform into?

  Kaya: that's right! Because I know you are not them!

  Ayak: really? What if I do this...?

  He transforms into her grandfather.

  Kaya looked in shock.

  Kaya: that's a low blow...

  Ayak: come on, prove yourself now.

  Kaya hesitates.

  Nuri thinking bad thoughts, sitting on the floor with his knees together.

  Now Irun was transformed into his mother

  Irun: it's okay, everything is okay now.

  Nuri: I tried... I tried my best

  Irun: I know dear...But now, you can stop trying.

  Nuri continued to sit thoughtfully.

  Nuri: I wish I didn’t cause problems to everyone, I wish I was more normal… All I ever wanted was to make everyone happy and to find good friends… but no matter what I try, I just end up destroying things…

  Nuri: do you think they will be happier without me?

  Nigel: Never.

  Nuri and Irun turn to Nigel, Nigel stands and watches them.

  Nigel: I want you to get out of your head everything he told you so far, don't listen to him, he is not right.

  Irun gets up and walks towards Nigel

  Irun watches him.

  Irun: why can't I enter your mind?

  Nigel: because I can get into yours. Nigel just looked at him and Legin entered his mind. And disable it. Suddenly Irun starts to break, and he can’t take it anymore, he falls to the ground. he didn't move anymore...

  Nigel approached Nuri and helped him to his feet.

  Nigel: let's get out of here.

  Nuri: I can't...

  He still had black veins all over him

  Nigel: don't you want to see the others?

  Nuri: I want but...

  Nigel: no but.

  Nuri: you don't understand...

  Nigel: then explain to me.

  Nuri: I hate myself, I hate being a burden to others...

  Nigel: what are you talking about?

  Nuri: just leave me here...

  Nigel: I can't do that, firstly the others would kill me for it, and secondly we need a cook.

  Nuri is silent

  Nigel: listen to me kid, I don't know what's going through your head right now, and I think I'm the worst person to talk to about it, I don't like this kind of stuff, but I'll tell you that you worth more than you think, to all of us. We are not leaving this Island without you.

  Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Nuri looks at him and the black veins on his body slowly disappear...

  Nuri: I knew it, you can be nice…

  Nigel laughed a little bit.

  Nigel: don't get used to it.

  Ace and “Aaron“

  She fought him, but she couldn't win.

  Aaron: see? I was the only one you could never beat... If I wasn't him, you wouldn't have this much trouble fighting me.

  Ace: shut up!

  She attacks, he dodges. And he fights back now, pushing her and pining her against the wall aggressively. He looked her in the eyes.

  Aaron: is that a fear I see?

  Ace: never!

  She pushed him off. He stumbles back a bit.

  Aaron: you know, I like to see you weak... It makes me... so powerful.

  Ace: He would never say something like that!

  Aaron: Are you sure?

  He smiles but evilly

  Aaron: I just think you are afraid to remember...

  She looks at him, her hand a bit shaky, looking down

  Ace: remember what...?

  Aaron: it is nice that you still remember me as a good person... even though I wasn't always that, am I right?

  She still looks down. Aaron steps closer.

  Aaron: But I did love you... and you know what... I still do.

  She looked up at him. He was looking at her. Her grip on her sword loosening a bit.

  Ace: Aaron? Slowly touches his face but then takes her hand away.

  Aaron: yes, it is me...

  Ace: I... I... I'm so sorry... she was holding her tear, not crying

  Aaron: why?

  Ace: I wanted so badly to get just one more chance, to tell you everything...

  Aaron: now you have it...

  Pause

  Ace: I always wanted to tell you how sorry I am... I'm sorry I didn't tell you before how much you meant to me, how much I admired you. You were my best friend, you were always by my side, protected me, loved me... she stops there for a second, her voice stars to crack a bit

  Ace: not a day goes by that I don't think of you, I miss you so much, and I'm sorry I wasn't stronger... I'm sorry I let you die... I let you go... and most of all, more than anything, I'm sorry that... that I'm the one who survived and not you.

  She falls to her knees. Aaron crouched next to her.

  Aaron: it's okay... everything's okay now...

  She looks at him, her eyes full of tears

  Ace: I wish you were really here...

  Aaron: but I am... I'm here...

  Ace: I'll never stop missing you...

  Ace: I never had a chance to say goodbye...

  Aaron: Now, you will never have to say goodbye again... He gently stroke her cheek.

  Ace: You are right, because this will be my last goodbye to you.

  She pulls him into a hug but at the same time stabs him in the heart with a katana and kills him. She cries on his shoulder. She recalls moments with Aaron. Their training together, laughing, fighting... all good and bad moments...

  Ace: I truly loved you...

  The person returns to his original face.

  Person: well played...

  A person dies. Ace puts down her sword and looks at the floor... She is broken...

  Kaya and Ayaka (shape of her grandfather with his voice too)

  Kaya: are you seriously choosing that move?

  Ayaka transformed into Kaya's grandfather.

  Ayaka: and? Come on, what are you waiting for, kill me!

  Kaya doesn't move.

  Ayaka: what are you waiting for? Forgiveness?

  Kaya: hey! Watch it!

  Ayaka: what? You want to hear that I am not very disappointed in you?

  Kaya: stop it...

  She wanted to cry

  Ayak: I gave my life to teach you about morality, honesty, and yet you choose this path…you are nothing better from your father.

  Kaya: please… no…

  Ayak: everything was for nothing! I died knowing that I failed. It wasn’t my heart that failed me, it was you…

  Kaya breaks.

  Kaya: please stop!

  Ayaka: if you want me to stop... then kill me.

  Kaya: oh, you know very well I can't do that!

  Ayak: and I thought so.

  He thought he was having an upper hand.

  Ace: but I can.

  Ace appears and without hesitation attacks Ayaka, killing him with her katanas.

  Kaya looks at her in wonder.

  Kaya: Ace...

  They watch a person transform into their original form, dying on the spot.

  Ace: you're alive, good.

  She said bit cold, she looked different.

  Kaya was looking at the body of the person Ace had killed in front of her, and she was still a little shaken.

  Ace: they wouldn't have let us go any other way, trust me.

  Kaya looked at her and nodded

  Kaya: where are the others?

  Ace: I have no idea. She said coldly

  Kaya: Ace... are you... okay?

  Ace: yes. She said coldly again, but her eyes were red from crying and she avoided her gaze.

  Kaya: are you sure...

  Ace: I said yes.

  She said sharp. And more aggressive

  Kaya: Okay...Let’s go find others...

  Kaya knew something was wrong but she didn't ask anything else. She wiped her tears and stood up.

  Ace nodded and started to leave.

  Rin and Rho

  Rin: are you sure this is a good way?

  Rho: I'm telling you, I felt someone's movement in this direction.

  They continue walking and soon he hears rustling, and they take a fighting stance, ready to attack. Soon, Nuri and Nigel emerge from the shadows

  Nuri: Rho? Rin!

  Nuri flies up and hugs them both

  Nuri: you have no idea how glad I am to see you!

  Rho and Rin are surprised, Rin hugged him back with one hand, Rho didn't hugged him but she didn't pull away either, she stayed cold.

  Rho: we're happy to see you too. She pats him. But she talks cold as always

  Nigel: what about me?

  Nuri: oh yes, I forgot to hug you too, and flew towards him, but Nigel stopped him with his hand

  Nigel: I didn't mean that...

  Nuri left him alone and laughed.

  Rho: where did you two go?

  Rin: and what about Kaya and Ace?

  Nuri: we don't know where they are, and honestly I don't even know how I disappeared...

  Rho: and what about you?

  Nigel: same as kid, I don't know anything.

  Rho: do you know where you were? What have you been doing?

  Nuri: I fought some kind of weirdo who looked like me.

  Nigel: you are the kind of weirdo that looks like you...

  Nuri: hey!

  Nigel teased him and laughed a little bit.

  Rho: just like Ace... What happened to him?

  Nuri: Nigel took care of him.

  Rin: how?

  Nigel: does it even matter? I saved your brother.

  Rin: you're right, thank you.

  Rho: I hope Kaya and Ace are okay...

  Rin: Nuri, how strong was the opponent?

  Nuri: Very. He had the power to take over my appearance, not just my appearance but everything that makes me, as well as my powers. Not only that, he could transform into any person I know or have known... he had access to all my memories... if I'm being honest... if it wasn't for Nigel, I don't think I'd be standing here right now you...

  Rin: what's that supposed to mean?

  Nuri takes a breath

  Nuri: so... he's not exactly an opponent you can take out easily.

  Nuri: there are simply some faces you can't kill...

  Rin put a hand on his shoulder.

  Rin: I'm sorry.

  Nuri nodded.

  Rho: then we have to hurry and find Kaya and Ace as soon as possible.

  Kaya: there's no need for that!

  Kaya and Ace join them, Ace doesn't look at anyone and just stays silent.

  Nuri: you guys are alive!

  Nuri hugged Kaya.

  Nuri: I'm so happy to see you!

  He goes to hug Ace, jumps, she slides away and he rushes in, and falls in bushes behind her.

  Nuri: not a huger, got you.

  Rho: are you two ok?

  Rin watches Ace

  Kaya: I'm fine, thanks to Ace. I don't know what would have happened if she hadn't come.

  Nigel: What happened?

  Ace: what happened is that I killed two people, and I don't plan to spend another second on this island. We're leaving. She said coldly.

  Most of them are shocked because she actually killed someone. Rho stayed cold and calm.

  Rin: Ace... he said very quietly.

  Rho: I'm sorry but we can't leave yet.

  Ace looked at her very seriously, very cold and angry.

  Kaya: why would you stay on this Island any longer?

  Rho: this Island contains a lot of valuable information and...

  Ace: I don't care.

  Rho: you don't understand, it is possible that this Island also contains information about Eligor...

  Ace: I don't care! She broke through and everyone stayed silent.

  Nigel: Since when are you not interested in Eligor?

  She looked at him coldly with a lot of anger and suffering and looked at the floor.

  Ace: I can't be here anymore...

  She turns and starts to leave.

  Kaya: Where are you going? We must not be separated!

  Rin ran after her.

  The others stay in the same place.

  Nuri: what is happening with her?

  Kaya: she's been like this since she found me. She didn't say a single word all the way here... I didn't dare to ask anything...

  Ace and Rin

  She walks, and he runs after her and stands in front of her.

  Rin: where do you think you're going?

  Ace: get out of my way

  She tries to walk pass him, he stops her.

  Rin: what happened?

  Ace stands still but looks at the floor.

  Rin: Acacia... please?

  She looked at him.

  He looked into her red eyes, knowing that she had been crying. He remembered her words "crying is for losers", "I've only cried twice in my life", "What can I tell you, I don't cry."

  He tries to hug her.

  She pushes him away

  Ace: I swear, try that one more time and I'll fight you!

  Rin: then fight, I don't care, but I can't let you go.

  She took out her katanas.

  Ace: I'm warning you...

  Rin: I don't know what happened, and I don't need to know, but right now you can't focus on it because it will kill you. So please, just turn around and come with us.

  She hesitates.

  Rin moved a little closer to her

  Rin: I promise I won't leave your side. I won't let anything happen to you.

  She looked at him cold but broken.

  Ace: You already did.

  Those words hit him

  She put her sword back. She turned and went back to them. He follows her, and returns to the others.

  Rho: you're back...

  Ace: Just hurry up and do what you need to do.

  Rho nodded.

  They explored the island, Rho taking some of the pieces and trying to find any documents. She was looking for something specific but couldn't find it.

  Ace is standing away from the others, leaning against a tree. Nigel investigates with Rho, and Nuri looks around.

  Rho: Please don't touch anything. She said to Nuri.

  Rin watches Ace

  Kaya stands next to him

  Kaya: you're wondering what happened, aren't you?

  Rin: yes.

  Kaya: when I look at her, I think that me and Nuri were lucky.

  Rin: how was your fight?

  Kaya: everything was fine until that bitch continued to transform.

  Rin: what do you mean?

  Kaya: she transformed into my grandfather...and if Ace hadn't appeared, I don't know what would have happened because I wouldn't be able to do what she did, and I doubt Nuri could either.

  Kaya: she finished her fight first, and if her opponent could do the same... I wonder whose face she had to look at when she killed that person.

  Rin continued to look at Ace.

  Kaya: I think she went through something very difficult, something she will never want to share. I know how strong she is, but... I just hope she'll be okay.

  Rho continues to search but suddenly everything starts to shake.

  Rho: Nuri, did you touch anything?

  Nuri: it's not me! I swear!

  Everyone gets serious

  Rin: what's going on?

  Rho: I don't know...

  Everything starts to be destroyed and explodes.

  Nigel: we're getting out of here, now!

  They keep running towards the ship.

  Everything around them is being destroyed. it was like earthquake.

  They reach their ship. But there is no water around the ship.

  Kaya: we forgot about this...

  Nuri: what are we going to do now? Rho transforms and starts shooting arrows at the ship

  Rin: what are you doing?

  Rho: this.

  With her powers, shrinks their ship and takes it into her hand.

  Nuri: wow, you can do that?

  Rho: now we just have to find water.

  Everything continues to collapse around them. They keep running.

  Rho: we're close!

  At that moment something falls in front of Ace and she looks up and sees a shadow watching them, but she can't recognize the person because she can't see it very well.

  Ace: who are you... she says quietly to herself.

  Rin: Ace! What are you doing, let's go!

  Ace: not yet. She started to run towards the shadow.

  Rin followed her.

  Nigel: what are you doing?!

  Rin catches up and stops her

  Rin: what got into you!? Turn around now!

  Ace: Someone's up there!

  Rin looked up to see a shadow walking away.

  Ace goes after him but Rin stops her.

  Rin: we don't have time for this, we have to go, now!

  Ace: but...

  Rin: whoever is up there is someone who's trying to kill us, and if you go after them, we'll all go after you, and we're all dead.

  Ace looked up once more, angrily, and then turned away.

  They keep running.

  Kaya: I see the ocean!

  They are standing on a cliff. Rho slowly lowered the ship into the sea and enlarged it with her powers. The others start jumping on ship. Rho and Nigel remain Rho looks around and sees the one item she's been looking for all along. And run towards it

  Nigel: what are you doing?!!!

  Everything around them was still collapsing and being destroyed. But she manages to grab the object.

  Nigel: watch out!

  A big stone starts falling on her

  Nigel steps in, grabs her and rolls to the other side. Nigel saves her. She looked at him.

  Rho: thank you.

  Nigel: you'll thank me later, let's go.

  Finally, they also jump on the ship.

  Rin: where did you two go?!

  Nigel: we had complications. He looked at Rho.

  Rho: we have to get out of here now!

  Kaya was already steering the ship.

  Rho accelerates the ship with his powers, and gets them away from that Island.

  The shadow that Ace saw looked at them from distance.

  Unknown held the model that was more advanced than the c6

  Unknown: I did what you asked me to do, I need a portal.

  In a few moments, the portal opens.

  Unknown looked at them once more,

  Unknown: it was nice seeing you again..

  And shadow entered through the portal...
