The sounds of a heart monitor beeping slow can be a good thing knowing a loved one is still there, but if it beeps for a long time, it will mean a terrible thing for someone to lose something close to them.

Ms. Fontaine looked over Maria who was still recovering from her burns of her Black Gungnir that was now destroyed, Hibiki clenched her fists hard enough for blood to drip down and form a small puddle as the nurse to turn around to see Hibiki still there on one of the seats with tiny pool of blood as the blonde got up and grabbed a towel and began to clean up her mess before folding the towel and walking out.

The Bersek within her wanted to tear out Viper's throat and spine, she pinched herself to get rid of the thought before heading the her history class to turn in the work when she heard her teacher talking to a blank class as she spoke up.

"The Egyptians built the pyramids 5000 years ago, and the pharaoh's name was Atem or rather Atemu before he became the Nameless Pharaoh, he faced off many evil things and in order to save his kingdom and village, he sealed away his soul and only his name could stop the true evil Zorc." Hibiki said as her history teacher Mr. Stein closed his book.

"That is correct Ms. Tachibana and thank you for the work, as for the lesson, please remember it for your senior year to graduate." He said in a boring tone as Hibiki waved at him as she exited the room before hearing her friends talking as she rushed to see many students resting in the gym as the beast within lurched, causing her to clutch her heart and recover quickly before anyone saw her in pain.

Hibiki noticed Jim walking to the infirmary with a saddened look as he talked to Maria's sleeping force and listened to what he had to say. "Maria, if you can hear me when I say...I love you...I promise, I won't get hurt." He kissed her knuckles before heading out as he saw Hibiki with a smile on her face. 

"You heard nothing."

"Okay...for now." 

Jim knew that he was in deep shit.

Hibiki couldn't stop doting on him and joked about weddings and what their children would look like which caused Jim to pinch her cheek as she winced and shut her mouth in order to stop as they went to the Chancellor's office.

"I'm sure that Chancellor Sheppard can stop these duels before anyone else gets hurt." Hibiki said as Crowler spoke up.

"U-um...Sheppard...he's not here right now."

A moment of silence with Hibiki smiling and it was scary for everyone before she walked to the nearest wall and punched it hard.

"AND DO PRAY TELL WHY THE LIVING FUCKASS HELL IS HE NOT HERE?!?!" Hibiki yelled, causing the grownups and her friends to take a step back as Crowler and Bonaparte began to explain before she growled and walked out.

"If Sheppard isn't here, then...we'll stop him!" Hibiki said as everyone nodded before heading out, she clutched the red pendant in her hand as Jesse looked over to the red crystal and felt something warm from it.

As if his eyes played tricks on him, he swore he saw a woman with bright red-orange hair smile at him before Ms. Fontaine, the nurse walked in about Adrian waking up as Hibiki walked with the others as Jesse looked again to see Hibiki and smiled.

As they all listened to Adrian talked, Jim was beyond pissed for what happened to Maria during the duel, as they all left, Jim leaned down and whispered something to him causing Adrian to flinch.

'If you ever go near Maria in any way...I will hunt you down and feed you to Shirley, I won't care if your blood stains my hands.'

Jim left the room all ready to go with the others as he held the same red crystal Hibiki had as he clenched his hand, the pendant he held belong to her younger sister, Serena Cadenzavna Eve, in his hand was the only Relic to accept both Maria and Serena.

The Relic Airgetlám.

Axel was chipping away the bricks with his hunting knife he kept on himself in case of any emergency while being careful trying not to hit his resting cousin who was bruised up from the punch as she threw her blade at the cameras watching them as they hit the ground making a hollow sound as she snapped her eyes open.

"Tsubasa..!" Axel called out as she pointed to the ground and began to dig it up before the floor gave out causing them to fall as Tsubasa gave no choice but to transform.

Tsubasa dug the blade of her weapon into the side of the building as she held onto Axel as they made their way down quick and safe as Tsubasa landed only to stop and cough up blood as her armor went away before she stopped coughing as she wiped the blood away.

"Let's go, the others must be here." Tsubasa said, hiding her pain as she walked into the fake forest surrounding them as she sent a distress signal to the two remaining Relic users to track the signal and find her.

Hibiki was disturbed by her thoughts of emptiness as her history teacher woke her and Jaden up, she couldn't remember what happened, she remembered walking with her friends only for something pinch her and something about playing tag.

"I...how did we end up here?" Jaden asked as Hibiki shrugged as they walked with their teacher only for Hibiki to push Jaden out of the way for a poisonous snake to bite her throat, shocking both teacher and student as she fell back and blacked out, Jaden took off his red coat and held it to her bleeding throat before Stein took out a small medical kit and began to bandage her throat while giving her anti-venom.

"Carry her." He said as Jaden picked her up and giving her a piggyback ride to a place to let her rest...

Only for Stein to say that this whole thing was his fault and forced him to duel in order for Hibiki's safety because what he injected wasn't the real anti-venom, it was in fact more poison combined from the most deadliest snakes, spiders and plants combined.

Jaden began to rely on whatever god or hope he had on his side.

"I spy with my little eye--." Hassleberry began to talk before Chris blew up in annoyance.

"I SPY WITH MY EYE SOMEONE GONNA GET THEIR ASS SPANKED IF THEY CONTINUED TALKING!!" She yelled as she panted before looking at the three scared students before calming down for a moment before she smacked Alexis in the back in order to get the poisonous spider off of her back while Jim went on about it being indigenous.

The hairs on the back of Chris's neck went off as she turned to see a tiger coming at her, she froze remembering what happened in her younger years before Finé found her, the slave trader boss would send in the rabid dogs after kids who escaped and getting them killed.

Reacting on instinct, she took out a gun and fired it multiple times at the tiger before running out of bullets and shaking in fear.

She ran away crying before she stepped in a trapped door and fell into a trap before hearing the sound of water rushing.

"Fuck." Was all she could say as she searched her pockets for her relic as she found it in her right breast pocket and began to worry because the water was now up to her knees. "So...you think that you can just drown me Viper?!"

Chris found a weak opening in the walls as she began shooting at the weak wall as the water began filling up faster to her chin before the rocks gave away as her armor went away and began swimming to the top as fast as she could as she finally reached the top where the others were waiting for her.

She remained silent for the rest of the time being before Chris sensed something was wrong with Hibiki as she clutched her neck.

"I think...Hibiki's in trouble...she's...she's been poisoned." Chris said as she clutched her throat like it was on fire before the pain continued before she passed out.
