Micheal has had a clear path toward the hole of binary for quite a bit of time.

Micheal: "It feels lonely..."

Micheal can't stop thinking about the rest of Shining Star and how they chose to fight the remaining four chairmen.

Micheal: "(startled) What the?!"

The hole of binary has grown larger.

Michael: "I need to get going!"

Micheal picks up the pace.

Micheal: "(in head) I just hope they're okay..."

Meanwhile, with William...

William: "What the hell happened to you guys?!"

Kyle, Andrea, and Robert walk up looking sore as hell.

Kyle: "Where's Light?"

William: "Up ahead."

Robert: "We need to catch up!"

Robert falls onto his knee.

Andrea: "Walker won't be easy! We know he wants Light dead!"

William has an awkward moment of silence...

William: "Shit! I forgot that!"

William grabs the last of the healing items in his inventory.

William: "Use these and let's book it!"

Back with Micheal...

Micheal: "(gulps) Here..."

Micheal has arrived at the center of the binary.

???: "My chairmen have fulfilled their purpose."

A man steps down from a massive pile of rubble.

Michael: "You're Walker."

Walker: "My full name is Maximilian Walker if you would be so kind."

Micheal spits on the ground.

Micheal: "Nope not feeling it."

Walker: "You seem to be a near perfect opposite for my previous chairman Myls."

Micheal: "Question, why did he leave?"

Walker: "Isn't it obvious? He defected to Aegis and gave her irreversible information."

Micheal: "You're really calm when you are standing in front of the son of your traitor."

Walker: "So I had my new chairman Egis dispose of him."

Micheal: "I would've done it myself."

Walker: "Myls was my first ally."

Micheal: "That bastard would do anything for booze."

Walker: "We had made a vow to stop X, but he saw just what Aegis would offer and turned on my trust."

Meanwhile with the others...

Kyle: "That hole in the sky keeps getting bigger..."

William: "Everyone good to go?"

Andrea perks right up.

Andrea: "Of course!"

Kyle: "Roc?"

Robert stands up.

Robert: "Let's book it like always!"

The four dash in the direction of Michael.

Micheal: "Hurry guys..."

Walker: "I've had enough small talk. Shall we?"

Michael activates Ruby Buster.

Micheal: "(confidentiality) As ready as I'll ever be!"

Walker pulls out a sword.

Walker: "En garde!"

The two clash swords in a stalemate.
