Blonde Chandler kissed Ren.

"Cleo, I'm sorry. I can still accompany you to the doctors if you want."

"Yes, that would be fine."

Ren hugged Cleo one last time as lovers, before the three went their separate ways.

...

The next day passed, and Kas went through with his lesson. From a feeling all too similar, Kyra bursted through the window. The two siblings fought in front of the students, with Kyra delivering an absolute beatdown.

"Sorry about that, kiddos. My husband challenged your instructor to a duel tomorrow night, asking for him to not hold back."

Some students gasped, knowing that Kyra's husband is the number one at the fight club him and Kas went to.

"And I'd like for you to meet my husband. Xeno, come on out!"

From the door, a well-built man with a small tan, black latex shirt, shorts, black hair, a red eye, and black eye with a target for a pupil, walked in barefoot.

"Is that my cue?"

Khaston looked at the man, who then brought in three children.

"Come on, Maya, Lira, and Jason. Come to Uncle Kas, and you can see how much the students have learned martial arts."

The kids, Maya (19), Lira (17), and Jason (15) sat down next to Kyra, and watched students spar against one another.

Xeno picked up Kas, playfully teasing him.

"Unlike your teacher here, I am one of those fabled to be even stronger than an Ultima, full power being able to match one of Lord Lucius. I am an Epsilon, and my parents both came from the second strongest class of Awakeners, that none of them have been classified. As a backlash on my power, spending longer than thirty seconds in combat puts quite a lot of strain, eventually resulting in us being stuck in a strength-induced coma."

Everybody was hiding behind Kyra.

"Did I go too far?"

Everybody nodded.

"Anyway, I wish that you come see the fight tomorrow. We are going to the wastelands at the next boundary over, so be there or be square."

Xeno bowed, and brought Kyra and there kids outside.

"So, what do they do here, sing and what not?"

Kas Xeno

...

I can't break you, so I break some tons of sand
I can't, fare well, so I make you feel this bad
I can't change me, so I change the way I behave
I feel for you, my love

Didn't I try to keep you?
Didn't we try to find a way?
Whenever we could ignore the signs, we did it to say
"I was quite determined to go further than I ever would."

(Both)
And we woke up in a mess
On a pile of broken glass
We can never sweep away
All these broken pieces

Didn't we have to care for
The state of our very precious gift?
Didn't we try to paint the sky the brightest blue?
How could black become the favorite color of my extent?

(Both)
Someday we woke up in a mess
On a pile of broken glass
We can never sweep away
All these broken pieces

All these broken pieces
We can never sweep away
All these broken pieces
We can never sweep away
All these broken pieces
All these broken pieces

And we woke up in a mess
On a pile of broken glass
We can never sweep away
All these broken pieces

And we woke up in a mess
On a pile of broken glass
We can never sweep away
All these broken pieces

...

Xeno gave the exact location, then joined Kyra outside.

Class was dismissed, and Emma called the teachers to her classroom.

"Does anybody know why there was some barefoot guy walking around campus? He looked kind of creepy."

Knowing that his room was the only place they went, Kas was able to provide an answer.

"That's my brother-in-law, Xeno. Kyra met him on the island, and I couldn't beat him at the fight club because of his power, though he is unable to last longer than 30 seconds."

Wayne gasped.

"D-Does that mean he's one of those fabled Epsilon?"

Kas nodded.

People were both horrified and nervous as hell. The only one fascinated by this was Kayla.

"You seem amused by this, Kayla."

Kayla, blushing, then told something she kept a secret for about two years.

"At night, I'm also a dominatrix. I help submissive Omegas with their problems with my whip."

Nobody was surprised, knowing that Kayla uses the male teachers to practice knot tying.

Kas then left to bring Kyra, Xeno, and their kids to his apartment. Kyra put the kids to an available space, and the three sat outside. Kas was wondering about the laws about the Ultima.

"So, Xeno. Is it safe for an Epsilon to walk around freely?"

Xeno nodded, saying that the Epsilon are only believed to be a myth stirred up by playful Ultima years ago. Kyra then grabbed her gut, talking about childbirth.

"You don't want to know this, but when I gave birth to Jason, it felt so painful, and I didn't know what was coming out, until we realized the next month that he was born an Epsilon. It's really that hard to tell if one is an Epsilon.

Kas looked at the sun, then made his way to his room. "I have to get ready for another concert. I'm supporting an up-and-coming idol."

...

Ren and the Chandlers were at the market, doing some shopping. Ren turned to the Chandlers, asking all of them a question.

"Are you going to that fight tomorrow?"

Silence.

The Chandlers then said that they would go, and bought some food. The four went their separate ways, and Ren walked over to a house in the build of a mansion. He knocked on the door, seeing a man with white hair and black eyes coming out.

"Lex is getting ready to go to that concert right now. He'll be out in a bit."

Ren sat down, waiting for the freshman to come down. After a few minutes, Lex came downstairs, dressed completely casual.

Ren and Lex then left the mansion, making their way to an arena, as the place was the concert venue this time. They arrived after ten minutes of walking, and made their way to the front row. There, they saw a silhouette covered in thick fog.

In the waves that are increasingly coloured with shadows
Sometimes, your eyes glitter
Without exchanging words, at the touch of your fingertips
Everything loses its shape

The reason why I can't see sense or reason is because
Those eyes, your eyes, they're completely different
From [the eyes of] everyone I've gazed at up until this point
A translucent flavor, a pure flavor

Time rejects the advancement of the needle [on the clock]
Something like the "past", it doesn't bother me
I want to be tethered to life

Now, in the same way that you cut out a snippet of this moment
If we could be dyed [in colour]
It doesn't matter what kind of sorrow awaits, after all, there's a Love that's waiting
If we could overcome it
I feel that there is a "you" that I don't know
Please don't return to another place
It's okay even if you remain as the "you" who doesn't know me
If you could just fix your eyes on me

yeah uh our ways continue to overlap
Yes, we are entangled, but why?
No way will I pretend that I don't know you
Don't ask me to, I've been waiting all this while

Without responding with an answer
I just want to forcefully draw you close to me
If you would permit me to

For whose sake does time flow onward until it overflows?
Something like "tomorrow", I do not seek it
All I want is you

Now, even if I overwrite this moment
If I can't change it
Even if it's for an eternity, there's a Love that's waiting
I would still wait for you
The "me" who doesn't know you, that "me" no longer exists
I have no place left to go
It's okay even if you remain as the "you" who doesn't know me
If you could just seek for me

Because if you were to walk away from me
I would never meet you again
Oh wait Oh wait Oh wait

Now, in the same way that you cut out a snippet of this moment
If we could be dyed [in colour]
It doesn't matter what kind of sorrow awaits, after all, there's a Love that's waiting
If we could overcome it
I feel that there is a "you" that I don't know
Please don't return to another place
It's okay even if you remain as the "you" who doesn't know me
If you could just fix your eyes on me

...

The fog lifted, revealing Zen, Kas, and multiple dancers.

Zen Kas

(I don't know what to believe.)
(I can't tell what is real and what is fake.)

Without even confirming it
Made to dance by the information that's flying around
With only the exterior that's been decorated
The Majority that doesn't have an opinion

It all depends on how you perceive it (Up to you)
The flipside becomes the front [that you see] (Reversal)
Within the darkness where you can't see the exit
A ray of light comes streaming through

The truth that's quietly lurking, the Fake that's Real
Uncover it, for what purpose do you have this hand?
I want to protect you, no matter how harsh the world is
I'll show you that I can overcome it (Starting over again)
Everything [begins] from this place

Fueled by boredom
Smoke rises in a place where there's no fire
Protected by anonymity
The Enormity of not knowing pain

The reason why things don't go well (Not my day)
It's always the fault of something [else] (Get cold feet)
Without needing to constantly woorry about the direction of the wind
Hoist the sail that will never waver

The ability to grasp the Fake that's Real
Hone it, therein lies the evolution of oneself
I want to climb it, no matter how high the wall is,
I will show you that I can overcome it (Climbing over again)
Everything [begins] from this place

The fear of believing, the courage to doubt
Even when "evanescence" is written as "a person's dream"
We need to know it [such things] now (Things like the future)
[Things that] We can't speak of (Face reality)
Straining to see in a distorted daily life

The truth that's quietly lurking, the Fake that's Real
Uncover it, for what purpose do you have this hand?
I want to protect you, no matter how harsh the world is
I will show you that I can overcome it (Starting over again)
Everything [begins] from this place

...

Kyra, Xeno, and Jason arrived at the concert.

"See? Your uncle's career is starting to kick off."

...

Why am I standing alone in the twilight
Let me go, no more lonely nights
I take a deep breath under the hazy sky
Feel like losing, but it's gonna be alright

Break through the night, go and try to fight
Don't be afraid, now is the time

Be alive, take it
I surely feel my heartbeat
There's no limit to my reach
I say good-bye to my tears that I don't need
So believe in my dream

Don't look back to the sorrow I left behind
Here's my real intention I hide
I wish you were here, and so just right by my side
Need to be strong enough to swallow my pride

I have been looking for my own style
Don't give it up, here comes the life

Be alive, take it
I have learned a great deal
Brighten our sweet memories
Hope there will be a future for you and me
So believe in your dream

Be alive, take it
Promise to find, yes I will
Shining wings filled with wishes
Fly high, make it
Get to the new world that I seek
Someday, so I believe

...
The scattered stars connect
Over there while we still search for
The unseen
Constellation

Not everything goes the way we want it to
There's no answer over here, either
But you must have known
Because you wanted to see it
You reached out your hand

Endless night
Drawn out by the night
Endless night, our star
No matter how many mornings we greet, we still set out

Precious night, but not right now
We'll leave it up to the night breeze
Enveloped in the silent starry sky

The never ending night gently
Envelops us as we advance
If you feel it then with our hearts in Union
Forever
Forever

Can I stay by your side?

Endless night
Drawn out by the night
Endless night, our star
No matter how many mornings we greet, we still set out

Precious night, but not right now
We'll leave it up to the night breeze
Enveloped in the silent starry sky

(Both)
Tonight, for eternity, I'll be by your side
...

From the audience, Wayne looked at Kas, admiring him.

"So hot..."

...

The concert went on for another hour, before the concertgoers went back home. Ren made sure Lex got home safely, then walked himself home. There, he saw a quicker way to his house through a sketchy alleyway.

Ren looked both ways while walking rather quickly through the alley. There, he was then cornered by three drunk and somewhat horny men.

"Whoa, there! I have a boyfriend!"

"All the more better, bitch!"

Ren then tried to get out of his trap, but was then tied up with tight knots, before he was beat up. The men then proceeded to have their way with the barely conscious Ren.

...

The next day passed. Cleo was on her way to the clinic early in the morning, and found Ren in the alleyway after hearing some groaning. He was used like a complete rag doll, and tried to think about what to do.. She made the decision to find someone to help him, and found Gloria leaving her house. She told her about Ren, and the two made their way to the alleyway, where they found Ren covered in bodily fluid, a black eye, and multiple bruises in the right arm. They quickly saw that his pants were ripped from behind, and that the incident took place in the alleyway, as no signs of struggle was indicated.

...

After taking Ren to the clinic, Cleo talked to the Chandlers. She told them everything, and the rest of the day went by with people praying that Ren would be all right.

Everyone was then notified about Ren's condition. Gloria had the report, and then read it aloud.

"This morning, Ren was found both physically and sexually assaulted in a rather sketchy alleyway. He has an injured arm along with multiple bruises, but he is expected to make a full recovery soon. If you want to see him, visiting is open."

The day went by smoothly, with people then going in masses to visit Ren. The first people who went were the teachers, who were wondering who would do this to someone so nice.

Soon came the students, expressing their deep concerns for Ren's safety.

Hours passed, and Ren finally woke up. He noticed he had an eyepatch on, as well as two hand braces, and his right arm was in a sling.

"I did an STD test on you while you were out. Luckily, almost every test came back negative. However, nothing came back on a test for chlamydia or gonorrhea. It doesn't mean you don't have it, but it might be that it was never there to begin with. Come back if you feel any symptoms of either. In the meantime, take these antibiotics."

The doctor handed Ren some antibiotics, and advised him to get lots of rest. "You can go out and about, but make sure to be on guard, and don't do anything reckless, as your arm still needs to heal."

Ren left the office, and was greeted by Cleo and Brown Chandler. Cleo then remembered the fight was tonight, and decided to go quicker.

"Shall we make our way to the fight? I've been dying to see who will win between Kas and Xeno."

The three then made their way to a trail, where they saw Kayla and Terry guiding students.

About ten minutes passed, and all of the students who wanted to go to the fight have arrived.

Wayne used a powerful barrier to shield the students from powerful charges, and stood at the front, mainly so he could look at Kas.

After making sure everything was safe, Kas and Xeno started fighting.

The fight was fast paced, with multiple explosions coming from different areas of the field. Xeno began to charge up a powerful blast, and Kas began to do the same.

"Everyone, brace for impact!"

Kas and Xeno then threw themselves at one another, releasing their energy into a powerful explosion. Kyra then intervened by surrounding the explosion in a powerful barrier.

...

...

...

Silence. That's what it was for the next thirty seconds. The barrier was lifted, and the smoke cleared, before both Kas and Xeno were revealed to be unconscious on the ground. Kyra ran to the scene while there was still smoke covering the two men.

"It's a tie!"

The smoke finally finished clearing, revealing Xeno standing on one knee.

"Not yet, dear!" Xeno yelled, flapping his red and black wings.

Xeno was then struck by Kas's whip from behind, and the two engaged once more in an intense fight, Xeno eventually managing to take Kas back down.

Kyra finally declared the battle over just as Xeno collapsed from exhaustion.

"Lira, Jason, Kyra! Come get your father! One of the teachers, get my brother!"

Kyra and her three kids grabbed Xeno, and carried him to Kas's apartment, and Wayne and Kayla carried Kas behind the five. Wayne, wanting to talk to Kyra about her brother, then asked her a question.

"Kyra? Do you mind if I talk to you about your brother in private?"

Kyra agreed to talk, then brought Kas, Xeno, and the kids inside, before meeting Wayne outside. Wayne then told Kayla to escort the students home.

"Okay, what did you want to talk about? It's about your feelings for him, isn't it?"

Found out, Wayne was visibly shocked.

"What? It was completely obvious. You've been giving strange looks every time you saw him. Don't worry, I won't tell him. Besides, he's as straight as a box."

Hearing Kyra reject him for her brother, Wayne walked silently into the apartment. He knew there was still a chance, since she doesn't know everything about her brother. He saw some rubbing cream, and decided to rub it on his chest. He didn't hear Kyra coming in, and she whispered something in his ear.

"Wayne! Are you Vapo-raping (the nonconsensual act of rubbing VapoRub on someone) my brother?"

Wayne our the cream down, and left.

"What if I was?"

Wayne then walked home, being escorted by Kayla.
