WARNING THIS CHAPTER IS INCREDIBLY DISTURBING FOR YOUNG READERS AND CONTAINS VERY VIOLENT SCENES

"WAKE UP!" I felt cold water splash on my face as I wake up in shock. Ow...my head...where...where are we?

I looked around to see me and the other DICE members in a warehouse of sorts. It seemed old and rundown and I couldn't even hear anything outside, I was about to ask if everyone was ok when I noticed my hands and feet were tied along with my mouth being gagged.

What the h*ll is going on here...? I started fighting against the restraints as I noticed everyone else panicking next to me as I looked up to face our captor.

No f*cking way...

"You know...I really try to be fair with the system...I really do try...I wanted to give you a few days to make up...but...you burned a whole school down" the substitute turned around I noticed them grinning like a full blown psycho as they did so.

The sub...what...them? I knew it! I knew I was right! God if I had just done something sooner we wouldn't be in this mess!

"I even took the time to give you hints! Just the day we met I told you of me being wanted- a psycopath on the run...the tortoise and the hare so you wouldn't underestimate me...I helped you because I believe heros should live..." they renounced strolling down the row twirling and playing with our hair as we flinched.

"But...you guys are the opposites of heros...and that's why I am here today" they said sitting on a table nearby I had now noticed.

It was covered in weapons, liquids, and all sorts of tools as I felt myself sweating while looking at it while they grinned.

"I mean...your whole classroom...the whole school is engulfed in flames...I did try to spare you though...I was originally here just to kill you...it was supposed to be that I drugged you all...put you in my car...and have it drive off into a river...that's what they hired me to do" he recounted seeming to eye a weapon.

"But...you guy's reminded me of myself at your age...lost...without a goal...aimless to where to put my energy...when I opened my eyes and discovered my purpose" they screamed as if enlightened.

"My purpose is to eliminate those vile and corrupt people who destroy our world! You've seen it have you not?! All the destruction just a few bad seeds do?" They screamed with a wide and sinister smile.

"SO I WHILE I AM STILL PURE MUST PURIFY THIS DESOLATE WASTELAND OF EVIL FROM ITS SOURCE! YOUR GENERATION! I MUST CLEANSE IT SO YOU CHANGE THE WORLD!" He screamed loud throwing a knife at me, I flinched as I noticed it grazed my cheek just barely.

"If you learned from your friend with the scar you know next time I won't miss" he sneered as he looked at us like as if we were prey.

"Hah so this is the trouble makers I was assigned to eliminate in their truest form...COWARDS!" He laughed maniacally at his statement.

"Well...I guess you have been an entertaining group...reall have...if I wasn't hired at your school...if I wasn't assigned to kill you by the higher ups...I would have loved to see whether or not you blossomed into weeds or flowers..."

He sighed as he looked at us once more "Think of it as...a punishment" he grinned as he walked over and grabbed the knife he had thrown at me and shut the door to our room and I heard a lock.

I turned to the members most were crying others frozen in shock and disbelief as I struggled further.

NO! I REFUSE TO DIE LIKE THIS! EVEN IF I MAY DESERVE IT I WON'T LET MY FRIENDS DIE HERE! I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THESE ROPES! I NEED TO SAVE THEM! I NEED TO!-

I felt a warm hand clasp mine as I looked behind painfully to see Chiasa with her tied hand attempting to hold mine.

I stared into her sorrow filled eyes as Takura who sat next to me did the same as she did- their expressions all conveyed one message...

This...this is the end...we are all going to die here...alone...and afraid.

And there's nothing we can do to change the fate we gave ourselves.

Except...me...I felt tears streaming down my face, I could have prevented this...I...could have saved them...

It may have been just five minutes. It felt like hours.

"Alright who's up first!" A cheerful voice called as they entered and the sub was seen with a large sheet "let's see...the one with the least harmful deeds is...RIKO SANYU!" They screamed as if this was a reward.

He then grinned and began walking towards her, DON'T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON HER!

I attempted to fight- kick- punch- anything I could to buy time, time for help I know couldn't possibly arrive as he threw me off and revealed a large sharp knife and he held her by hair the knife to her throat as she was crying and staring at us.

Her eyes...I will never forget the look in those eyes...pure terror filled them and a million emotions could be seen and conveyed but were given no voice to sound out.

He sliced her throat in a single movement as blood splattered the floor and her eyes widened before the light inside them faded.

He dropped her body on the floor.
Riko Sanyu was no more.
She was dead.
She died on the floor.
She was killed right in front of us.
And we were powerless to stop it.

"There we go...aw your all crying...keep pretending you souless monsters" he called laughing as we couldn't help but sob over the body of our departed friend.

He wiped the blood off himself "you guys will all wish your death was as fast and painless as hers" he commented.

"The points of your deeds led you here...but the severity determines your punishment...minus the fire all Riko did was be late to class and forget homework...tame...and thats replicated in her death...she was spared long suffering...the rest of you...well...you will see how it goes for you..." he grinned as he grabbed Eiji by the shoulders and he dragged him out of the room- again we all fought.

We all screamed, but...we were powerless...all powerless...

And only Chiasa was spared the screams that came from beyond the door- the screams that rung in my ears as one by one the room grew empty...

-/-/-

I just stared ahead, the screams rang in my head and I could feel my sanitu slipping away...my emotions degrading and energy dying for each person I saw leave the room.

Kill me...please...just kill me...please...why couldn't he have just killed me...

I cried again and didn't even bother holding them in as I felt a warm hand once again hold mine in an awkward and flimsy way.

I looked over at my one company in the room, Chiasa.

She stared into my eyes before she rubbed her mask against the wall trying to remove it.

Finally a bit was released and she pat it out looking at me.

"I d-don't wa-want t-t-to ha-have reg-grets" her voice quaked as she leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek.

My eyes widened in shock as she pulled away looking down "I-I...l-love...y-you...I've...a-always h-have...y-you s-saved...m-me...f-from...d-d-despair...t-thank...y-you..." she smiled while tears spewed out.

The door then opened and the blood soaked sub walked in and grabbed Chiasa as she screamed while fighting.

"H-HE M-MAY T-TAKE M-MY L-LIFE!" She screamed "B-BUT I R-REGRET N-NOTHING!" My heart was shattering into pieces just hearing her voice after years of her not using it- not to mention the words she spoke before looking down and whispered some words before the door shut.

"I'm sorry, I won't be able to keep our promise" I knew it wouldn't do no good but I still screamed as I fought for my words to reach but I still screamed them like an idiot.

"CHIASA! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE DON'T! CHIASA!"

I know she didn't hear me. She couldn't even if she wanted to. But I could hear her. I could hear high pitched screams ringing in my head over and over and over again as all I could do was sit in in the sounds of screaming and darkness.

I barely put up a fight when he started dragging me behind the door- I barely did anything as I felt him chain me to the wall.

I did do something when I saw the hideous sight before me...

Bodies. The bodies were everywhere- horribly mutilated and damaged as I surpressed the urge to vomit as I shut my eyes tightly before him throwing a punch at my face making me open them in shock.

He grinned as he stared into them

"My my, what pretty eyes you have~!" He said squeezing my cheek "you are so beautiful...who know what kind of monster you were underneath" he called.

He let my face go and pushed it against the wall "any last words? I doubt you will say much by the time I begin...I will remember as I do them all..." he commented removing my gag as I glared down at them.

"Go to h*ll" I responded and his eyes narrowed "now that my friend is really unimaginative"
