A suit chase is throwing at the three. A brief case of yen hits the ground. As he began to walk away holding up Li Mei's body. Kenichi clenched his fist, grabbing his Counter 7, weapon.

Kenichi grip his teeth and rage, "TARDY was supposed be a place where level 0's were gonna be heroes and then you corrupt us!"

"Heroes?" Kaneshiro rose one eyebrow and looked back at Kenichi. "Don't make me laugh, what kinda heroes work to get paid?" Kenichi was shut surprise he had no combat comment to say back to the man. "You lost your way the moment you thought attacking espers was okay. Have you ever thought what your merchant was doing with the victims? Because who knows is your point of view. But of course why bother children like you can never see the bigger picture."

"Your merchant?" Kenichi reply as his thoughts were finally answered. "Well it's my job to bring the merchant to target not you! And besides it finally makes sense someone was pulling the strings here and it was you!"

Kenichi rose up his weapon but to his surprise Kaneshiro toss Li Mei into Kenichi arms forcing him to drop his weapon holding her in his arms. "Then so be it, send her at the destination location and be done with it. Trash like you all should know your place."

"You son of a bitch! You know our motivates but still call us trash! Those kids are sick, injured and don't have time to grow up! And this city don't give rats ass about them!"

"And are they really worth it! One who trades a human for another? They must be trash just like you all!"

"What?"

"Look at the girl you're holding now. She's merely the age of a middle schooler, she sleep, go to school, make friends, develop a crush, have you even thought about the pathetic grownups that can't sleep at night because the man was irresponsible and couldn't protect their children?"

Kenichi look over at Yosuke passing him Li Mei's body. "Don't even let Mara-san look at that girl!"

"What?!" Mara said offended. "What right do you have to-"

"Shut the hell up!" Kenichi shouts. "I have nothing to say to you! Just listen to the effing hell I'm telling you! Where getting outta this shit! Take the money and do the damn job. Find and save Tsurigane-san! That's it. I have to protect you too." Kenichi said making up an excuse to rise his fist at Kaneshiro who chuckle. "And you! You defend this girl in pity like a damn saint and talk shit because we target her when you have her effing blood on your hands!" Kenichi said pointing at Kaneshiro's bloody hands made from Li Mei's blood alone. "I'm going to kick your ass!!"

"Marvelous, but what about your weapon?"

"You're a man aren't you? Surely you're not afraid of a drop out. No weapons! I'm going to kick your effing ass old man!"

"Hmph, arrogant but manly, it's childish to go down your level but you wasn't properly raise as a man and had to develop your own original manhood I was like you once. So I'll abide the pain and guide you with only one lesson. No weapons and no world eater just a fist fight."

"Hyaaaaa!!!!" Kenichi ran up with brute force. "This is ridiculous! I'm not some saint, or some legendary ninja, I'm just some broke level 0 who live in the streets all my life. I took part in skill-out activities and had my share of violence, all of these crimes  were no different than what I already usually do!" Kenichi got in close range to deal assault attacks, Kaneshiro swift a left hook punch to Kenichi's temple but Kenichi evades by ducking and punching Kaneshiro's stomach. Kenichi continues rising up kneeing Kaneshiro's gut and places his hands together to smacking Kaneshiro down.

Before Kenichi could have any pride left with his successful strikes Kaneshiro rose up and head butt Kenichi, as he was push back, Kaneshiro grabbed a hold of the neckline of Kenichi's shirt timing his arm to let go with the right force to successfully punch knocking him back. Kaneshiro's punch felt like the impact of a professional UFC fighter. Most of all Kaneshiro is fighting with one arm proving his excellent combatants. Blood gushed out Kenichi's nose it only anger him that little thirteen year old girl had the full power impact of what half he received.

"Hyaaaa!!" Kenichi charge reckless shorting the space but Kaneshiro casual dodges his attacks.

Kaneshiro close his eyes in disappointment until he clenched his fist and landed another power shot punch into Kenichi's face. "You still don't seem to understand, someone like me is okay with this, but you pipsqueak will have to understand and accept your no different than me. This is your reward for doing this job, wake up and see what you become! You can just stay like this and see yourself as the piece of shit that you are now or you can decide to take responsibility for this and become a better man but either way your road of thinking of righteousness comes to an end!" Kaneshiro ran up jumping into the air delivering one final punch to Kenichi.

Kenichi hit the ground, before closing his eyes, he flicked his middle finger up Kaneshiro before passing out.

The group of Anti-Skill officers was surprised to see Code Vader and Jeong-Min back to back handling there own against them.

Jeong-Min throws shuriken into the rifles before the Anti-Skill can shoot only causing it to explode.

Code Vader smile viciously in his suit of amor as a electromagnetic field shot out into the Anti-Skill members. The discharge attack seem to have no effect on them except the high futuristic weapons they had on them spiral out of control. One weapon fire out of control and the anti-skill officer ends up shooting some of his own comrades. A high tech grenade off the other anti-skill's belt active electric discharge burst from the grenade electrocuting them up. Code Vader fly to the rest of them and brutally attacking them. Jeong-Min finish up her own enemies by sliding under one placing a smoke bomb on his back and kicking him towards one of the arm men that aim there guns at them. Within the smoky space Jeong-Min closed her eyes as she didn't need them to locate them rather able to easily hear the rapid beating nervous heartbeats of them and took them out one by one with submission techniques.

The smoke clear out as one had his aim at Jeong-Min who turned around and preparing to throw her shuriken until Code Vader soar down in front of Jeong-Min taking in the Anti-Skill guard's rapid bullets.

"These bullets are real, these piece of shit don't belong to Anti-Skill!" Code Vader answer.

"This is the only justice we recognize!" The Anti-Skill shouts the man was terrified. He pulled out a grenade. "Stay back! I'll kill us all!"

"Is that right? Haha!! If you're rotten trash to the core then just go drop dead somewhere leave innocents outta of it! But you want to take others with you, if that's the case this world is better off without you! Go to hell!" Code Vader's armor spout out six green proton wings that swirl out, just as the single one he used on Kihara Akuma.

Code Vader made a vicious smile as the target suddenly look like Kihara Akuma.

"Bwahahahahaha go ahead do it again! Kill me and show me your just like me!! That you are only going to be me in the end! Don't hesitate you piece of shit, or I'll take that fire couch bitch and finish what the fuck we started!"

"Fufu hehe no you just have to die that's all!" Code Vader charge up a greenish energy wave but Jeong-Min jumped in and kick down Anti-Skill man down. Tedashii snapped out of it and shook his head.

"You alright?" Jeong-Min ask in a indifference tone.

"What?! Yeah I'm fine!" Code Vader argue.

"You kinda froze there, if you're mind set not ready you can just give me the signal and leave. I can't have you holding me back! I'm saving Li Mei with or without you!"

"Like I can trust... never mind let's just hurry and get this over with!" Code Vader reminded himself of what he said to Li Mei. He was rather bothered by his own replied.

"Well take it easy! You almost kill them. I know it's frustrating but don't go acting like a psycho idiot. Let's go."

After listening to Jeong-Min, the armor suit dissolved off Tedashii's body looking once again as a teenager boy that's taken part in the Daihaseisai Festival. His track jacket along his whole outfit was dusty as he never changed them since yesterday. He didn't even sleep that night and his eyes were somewhat red from staying up. Jeong-Min can't judge she only changed to her kunoichi yellow lining but didn't get any sleep neither.

"Are you sure about that shouldn't stay guarded?" Jeong-Min asked.

"If only I could, this thing runs on a battery surprisingly enough thirty minutes exact and why I need to be careful and over use the battery." Tedashii explains, oh speaking of which." Tedashii check his watch my motor bike is finally fix back at my lab. And it's heading to me."

"Well okay then." Jeong-Min shrugs.

They suddenly got to the abandoned warehouse to see the collateral damage of the fight between Aura Storm and Tardy.

"Yep Li Mei was here alright." Jeong-Min and Tedashii said at the same time then look at each other and chuckle at their timing. the two blushed and looked away from each other before presuming to investigate.

Jeong-Min study the foot tracks and counted, "There are five no six different size feet here I'm sure it was a group that attack. There seem to be a drill line on the ground heading towards the warehouse.

"That must have been Li Mei's attack?" Tedashii question.

"No! Li Mei's strongest attack come above, it's too beautiful to do this." Jeong-Min explain. Tedashii stare at her cross eye.

"Uhh mass destruction is beautiful?" Uhh yeah I'll just check for Li Mei's DNA with my DNA scan we need a lot of evidence now I lost Li Mei's signal." Tedashii saids pulling out his phone, Jeong-Min's smile and got excited.

"You have a DNA map scanner is it some tech that will find out Mara and those assholes?"

"Not really it just help identify substances, like types of blood, grems, minor samples, but I have to register it first."

"Sounds a bit useless but can you at least identify the identities?"

"It possible should coming from my style of inventions, haha but I fell short like with most of my projects. The stupid thing can analyze the type of blood it is like A, B, AB, O which funny enough there's a little of all of them here, but it doesn't identify who they are, breaking the code of that here in academy city is something I truly failed that's very embarrassing for my standards, unless I have a computer that's from Judgment or Anti-Skill it'll be no problem, just like that time." Tedashii thought to himself.

Jeong-Min sighs, "Li Mei's blood type is B."

"I see and the blood type o has a lot of blood, maybe arterie was cut? Maybe but there's nothing to note really. Unfortunately where not detectives so as far as we can process is limited." Tedashii walk closer to a small pull of blood and analyze it. He clench his fist to record type B."

Jeong-Min at a far off distance not too far away from Tedashii found some bloody yen on the ground.

"Jeong-Min..." Tedashii ask from afar. Tedashii still had his back turn away from her. When she turned back to look at the teen boy she suddenly sensed a sinister vibe emitting from Tedashii. Something was definitely off to her, but most importantly Tedashii's vibe made her nervous only something her sensei can do alone. "What about Mara does she have type B?"

"No... Mara's is AB."

"I don't want to assume anything... but are you sure TARDY can't beat Li Mei?" Jeong-Min stood there silent. Her eyes widen when Tedashii rosed a bloody Judgment armbands. "Because this armband has type B blood on it."

"No way! I can't believe that! I said she'll never lose to you!"

"I hope you're right! For there stake." Tedashii said in a cold tone the shade from his own hair darkened his eyes with a sinister glare. "Hmm... what's this?" Tedashii found a Bluetooth speaker that slid out of it. Tedashii's eyes widened with a beam of light. "This is... Annaisha Emiyo's!" Tedashii confirms.

"Annaisha Emiyo!!" Jeong-Min said cheerfully. "That girl pull a slick one! Nice one yeodongsaeng!"

"It really is!" Tedashii said with a smile. He noticed it was clogged up cover in blood but was lucky to use his hacking skill someone turned it on.

"Li Mei!! You idiot! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!!" Annaisha shouts out with a cry!

"It's me! Tedashii remember you link with me back in the Halftime show!"

"Ah Hamasaki-Kun! That's unfortunate no well that's great!"

"Yeah You're already on the same page! Nice!"

"Of course! Li Mei fell for a obvious trap by some blonde red hair who can't make up her mind! She was oblivious suspicious and Li Mei didn't listen. Even when I threatened to call for back up Li Mei threatened to turn the Bluetooth off. But I know where she went! She's at a warehouse over district 19!"

"Yeah I know about that! That's where I found the Bluetooth." Tedashii confirms sighing.

"Oh so it's too late Xiaodan-Chan!! No why! Why! Why! You Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!!"

"Well shame really I thought you can help with a lead but well never mind I thought you knew where she was so I can give a location provide evidence to Judgment and Takahasi. You know Akira Takahasi is on the case of this crime." Tedashii said holding back his cringe. He couldn't have her second guessing why he's investigating knowing that he himself is on illegal business of his own.

"Oh! Mr. Future Baby Daddy! Well I probably can locate them!"

"Really?!" Tedashii smile as his heart jumps.

"Yeah just need a camera real quick!"

"Okay!" Such a request wasn't difficult for Tedashii he link his phone to her device for her to observe the situation.

"Yeah okay definitely know what happened seem Xiaodan got her ass kick." Annaisha sighs. "But I've already have updated info on the group that did this crap! Like I said I didn't trust the girl that told Li Mei to come here! But I had a view of her thanks to pushing Xiaodan, and the girl is American Mara Grace a now level 0 esper, umm..." Annaisha uncomfortable stop and skip a little history. "Wow... well I'll just tell you what you need to know you're human and can understand after all. Let's say she's another level 0 who went through some crap by espers and join a group known as TARDY; Kenichi Baki, Yosuke Jun, Tsurigane Saryou."

"Why does that last one sounds familiar... no never mind it! I can't get anymore distracted. Go on Annaisha."

"Right! There seem to be a skill-out gang that's like mercenaries work to make a quick buck. There's no knowledge to why they been attacking espers currently, on well who's behind it all but I'm definitely sure there lackeys! This is very bad I'll notify these attacks happening in the Daihaseisai Festival right now."

"Wait!" Tedashii shouts, "I'll do it! I'll notify them!" Tedashii lied. "I'm the closest and not to mention if they'll surely hear about the incident themselves and get away. Let's send the message privately."

"That'll take longer but I understand." Annaisha agrees. Tedashii was surprised that Annaisha easily agreed. He would have thought a Judgment member would follow the rules very strictly. He only met her by yesterday he knows very little of this person not even what that person looks like. But he noticed that Annaisha is simpler to him. "Listen I know this definitely against the rules hell this isn't even safe but I refuse to let shits like that run freely! If we let them escape then the world is less safe! Wait I have a idea where there going I'm not sure you'll make it in time but I'm sure they'll want others to find out Li Mei. Or maybe just in case if anyone ask! It makes since they'll try to do this early in the morning."

"I get what you're saying, after all this is the Daihaseisai Festival where would they hide?! Somewhere disturbing, somewhere the city wouldn't dare let the cameras record. It would mean there still here or at least Li Mei is still here in district 19!"

"I know where they went, that big guy said something about a casket, I think they'll want to fit in, the cemetery. There's only one cemetery coming out of district 19, for an ambush!"

"Thank you I'll know what to tell Akira!" Tedashii said with a smile.

"No problem you can also give Akira my num-" Tedashii hung up.

"Uhh... so." Jeong-Min ask looking left and right. "You just kinda was standing there making faces."

"There heading to a cemetery to make the illegal trade, very smart of them I would have did the same." Tedashii smirk pulling out his phone.

"Okay." Jeong-Min said preparing herself. "Hope you're ready the real fight starts now. Do whatever to the other two don't hurt Mara I got her."

"Okay..." Tedashii replied.

Tedashii and Jeong-Min made it to the cemetery garden know as "TEOTL"; "The End Of The Line - what a wonderful journey."

Tedashii panic seeing no one here, "Damn it! Did we miss something I was sure this was the spot. What was wrong did we hit a wrong turn, I was sure this was the only cemetery here, or did Annaisha just play me, what's the deal I didn't leave anything out, no what if they predicted this all alone-"

"Clam down I just think we beat them here." Jeong-Min explain, "Where quite fast even you're faster than me which is remarkable. I wouldn't think anyone here would be faster than us, and if those Anti-Skill guards didn't stop us there, we would have caught up. Not to mention TARDY's opponent was yeodongsaeng, I know she would have done a number on them. So they might be push back behind schedule."

"How can you be so sure?" Tedashii argue, "I think you're overestimating Li Mei's capable."

"Oh you guys finally here?" A familiar voice walked up outta their hiding spot.

"Let's hide." Jeong-Min whisper tackling Tedashii down some bushes. Tedashii couldn't get a good look at who walked up, but Jeong-Min could she was quite surprised. "...No way." But Tedashii could barely pay attention due to Jeong-Min boobs sucking Tedashii's face in. Tedashii's head was smoky hot being trapped in the bushes with her.

"Are you kidding me?" Tedashii cried. "What's next a closet?"

When Kenichi awoke he was in a van with Mara and Yosuke. "I thought I told you all to jet?" Kenichi said annoyed scratching the rough spiky hair of his.

"You said we'll all get out of this crap alive right, and did you forget you promised to those brats you'll return." Yosuke argue, he hands Kenichi's bandanna to him.

Kenichi look left and right then ask, "What about Kaneshiro and the girl?"

"He already left," Yosuke answered. "And the girl is in the trunk." Kenichi look over at a casket then look back at Yosuke.

"Don't you think this is a bit much?!" Kenichi ask annoyed. "She should be alive after all, the merchant might get the wrong idea."

"It's fine the merchant made this to temper with the AIM diffusion field she shouldn't be able to escape that this box unless we opened it." Mara explain. "Not to mention the merchant told us to go to the cemetery it's the safest route to this heist."

"Is that right, well I'm glad we can finally meet this bastard." Kenichi said scratching his head.

"How do you know he's a bastard?" Yosuke question, "He might have a father you don't know what he's been through."

"Shut up!" Kenichi respond and then chuckle with Yosuke. Mara was too bother to be herself and laugh with the two. "We have to find Tsurigane as soon as possible, I think I'll go look for her myself.

"Just wait Kenichi, it's not safe yet." Yosuke explains.

"We should just leave her to get caught, she's a traitor." Mara confirms annoyed. "We'll all die if we see her again.

"Tch! What was that?" Kenichi respond annoyed. "She did not betray TARDY! We were in a tight spot she didn't leave because of that! She's probably planning to something to secure our safety."

"Well I don't know about you but we have no way to hack and know." Mara states.

"I'm the hacker!" Kenichi announced. And Mara just yawn.

"Yeah the one who broke that weapon, the thing acts on its own because instead of command because you broke it." Mara said pointing at the counter 7 weapon."

"No! She just have a mind on her own and care for me." Kenichi said rubbing the tech.

"We're here." Yosuke confirms. They made there way as Yosuke held the casket.

"Okay!" Kenichi agree giving in. He wanted to save Tsurigane but he really wanted to talk with the real merchant. He walked up to the merchant, and looked over at Yosuke. "Yosuke!" Yosuke walked the casket and place it next to the merchant.

A middle-age man with dark brown hair, short unkempt hair and glasses look at the casket then sighs. He took a peek at the casket and sighs again. "I see you actually did it. It could have been anyone that displays a strong AIM but I guess it was destiny... just know Xiaodan-Chan if I would have choose anyone else."

Tedashii recognize the voice and nothing flustering like Jeong-Min's boobs keep him down. Jeong-Min tried her hardest to stop Tedashii. She grab his mouth and held him tight from escaping in a submission lock. "No!" Jeong-Min whispers. "Li Mei is definitely in there we can easily save her by waiting for them to leave her with a unprepared scientist. I know it's messed up but please."

Tedashii's mind went spiral, "Mara is one thing but him." Tedashii's body begins shaking to shake as his eyes twitch, he never felt so betrayed. "The one and only adult I ever trusted are you shitting me, Masato jun'ichi!"

"Well where done here." Masato comments. "And here. "He gives them a briefcase." This might not be enough for your goal but my real reward is coming up today. You won't have to worry about that money when a new order is form. Well anyways...." I'll be seeing you.

"Wait!" Kenichi saids as Masato turned back. "I need to ask you something about the board of director, Kane-" Tedashii couldn't take it no more he actives his digital armor knocking Jeong-Min back. A green bright light shine as everyone turned there attentions to the light.

"What is this we're you followed?!" Masato panic shouting.

"Shut the hell up!" Tedashii was no longer there he was someone else electric energy burst out similar to how Li Mei did, he shouts in anger as uncontrollable rage took over him. His nano suit seem darker as it grew out spiky arms and the green light turned red. "Piece of shits you all are!" The ground crack where he stood.

"What now?! Kenichi said annoyed.

"You! Tedashii lock eyes on Kenichi, "I had enough! Give me my toy Baaaaacccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk!" Red discharge tries to pull in Kenichi's counter 7 weapon from out his hand but Kenichi had a strong grip.

"Hell nah say back!" Kenichi shouts.

"Screw it! I'll just kill you all then" Tedashii saids with a wicked smile. "You can all just simply die, I'm sure the world is better off without you all! Hmm... I know I'll start with you tech!" Tedashii burst proton energy flying and dashing towards Masato kicking and hurling himself towards the brick wall breaking his glasses. Tedashii seen the peak hole of the casket and seen a little of Li Mei's bloody mouth and smile victoriously and laugh. "What the hell have you done! I'll KILL YOU ALL YOU PIECES OF SHITTTT!!!" Tedashii charge up a proton death beam locking sight on Masato. Masato sat there in fear.

"Hey! You mecha nerd!" Kenichi closed in one Tedashii hitting him with the counter 7 weapon the counter 7 weapon reacted to Tedashii's surprise exploding with a nuclear blast knocking Tedashii back. Tedashii felt the pain and own was able to minimize the damage he was surprised the counter 7 weapon was only supposed to work only on espers.

"Piece of shit damage my toys, and use it to hurt others worthless TRASH ALL OF YOU!!" Tedashii unleash a red digital tornado, with Kenichi dodging and the crescent symbolize as blue.

Tedashii was too angry to calculate properly and Kenichi was a master tactician brawler. "So what of it how does it feel to get your ass cook by trash like us yo!" Kenichi close in and his weapon left off blue piercing blows slicing the matter off Tedashii's armor lucky Tedashii was able to reproduce the tech simultaneously but the cuts did pierce Tedashii making him spit blood out from within the suit, "Yosuke now!"

"Hyaaa!! Yosuke trapped Tedashii upon chains, but their fight with Li Mei damage his chains and the pain he felt by Li Mei's attack did number on Yosuke making him lose a grip.

"Damn that little girl really was strong." Yosuke admits Tedashii smile viciously he burst out the chains turned around bringing forth his vector malice that quickly upgraded with Tedashii's armor by using his program, he smack Yosuke with the vector malice twirling in a circle whip blasting everyone back with the collected vectors. Mara ran to Li Mei to see a bit of her in the casket and had bit of regrets.

But Jeong-Min ran up and kicked Mara. But she was surprised to see Yosuke snuck up and grabbed Jeong-Min and threw her against a wall.

Tedashii spare through the air in a rapid inhuman speed even putting pain on him. "I don't give a shit anymore the battery on this thing or my own body I just want to kill you all!! Gyahahaha hahaha!!" Tedashii's laugh completely changed turning to the exact same sound as the accelerator's. His face completely resembles accelerator's. He Mach his speed and kick Kenichi in the air and flew up as Tedashii flew in the air with red light speed attacks. Kenichi in the air completely unconscious as Tedashii snatch his counter 7 weapon and goes for the fatal finisher, Tedashii holds his vector malice on one hand and the counter 7 weapon on the other combining the power of both with a proton light only for a chain to catch onto Tedashii's hand. "WHAT!! Damn you wait you're fucking turn!!" Tedashii look down to see Yosuke far off angry he click his metal for metal transformation and got luck it burn Tedashii. "Agh aaahhhhhhhhh!!!" Tedashii scream for pain falling down. Jeong-Min was able to recover and ran up to sneak Yosuke only to be tackled push by Mara.

Jeong-Min shouts at Mara, "What have you done and easily kick Mara off.

Tedashii rise up to feel nothing but intense pain but he ignored his body pleas as he was devoured by hatred. He lock up Yosuke with a proton light dash attack and punching and kicking him. Sure Tedashii hit harder than Yosuke with that armor but Yosuke combat skills out extends Tedashii as he block weak points even dodge some. He punch Tedashii's gut but Tedashii felt nothing and headbutt Yosuke.

He seen Mara over there trying to sneak Tedashii only to get bitch slap by Tedashii. "Tedashii smile and laugh you didn't think I'll bust a crap in a bitch!" He aim at her face his proton beam death at point rage charged up to blow Mara's face off only for Jeong-Min to dragon kick Tedashii way.

Mara took advantage of the outside and smack Jeong-Min in the back of the head with a her metal baseball bat. Jeong-Min hit the ground. Mara ran a whole different way.

Tedashii's aim fell off to the counter 7 weapon in front of him. He didn't realize but Kenichi easily stolen it back and place it in the right spot to counter Tedashii's attack. The symbol in the crescent symbol black to Tedashii's surprise. "Nice I call this one means death!" Kenichi smirk.

"Impossible!!!" Tedashii cried out. "I'm no... level 5?!" The blast erupted. "Hyaaaaaa!! DAMN IT!! YOU SHIT BASTARD!!!" Tedashii flew high in the air out the cemetery he roll across the ground. The armor dissolve and Code Vader was defeated. Tedashii layed on the ground unconscious. Kenichi on the other side still in the cemetery fainted on the ground.

Masato recovers and makes a break for it he pressed the casket that he made and he floated away to his plan destination "I'll fix this all."
