As Rexus got blasted by a powerful beam of energy from the combined efforts of Lydia, Rem and Mio, he used all the energy left in his body to block and tank the attack. As soon as the attack hit, it caused a devastating explosion that shook the entire base, Kito and Baroka turned their heads around "What was that just now?", Kito asked, Baroka replied "I don't know. But I have a feeling it's not our problem.". The two boys kept walking forward, White and Racheal while walking also felt the huge impact of the explosion that shook the base, White asked "You sure the rest are okay?", Racheal replied "Nah, its all good. I don't think any of us lost our lives due to this mission. And plus, I can feel Lydia's energy combined with two others, the two other energies are obviously Rem and Mio, they should be fine.", White then replied with a soft sigh "If you say so.". Meanwhile at the hall that Mio, Rem and Lydia had fought Rexus, there was a huge cloud of smoke all over the room, the three girls were catching their breaths after showcasing such power, Rem asked "Do you think we got him?", Lydia replied "Beats me. But atleast that attack should have knocked him down.". Mio replied "Nah, it definitely killed him.", she walked up to Rexus who's body was charred due to that attack, Rem asked "Is he still alive?", Mio turned to her "I don't sense any life energy from him so yes, he's dead.". Lydia took a sigh, she looked up at the destroyed ruff top from their blast "That was a close one. For a moment, I thought we were going to die.", Rem replied with a nervous smile "Yeah, me too. I'm so glad we made it out of this one alive.". Mio also took a sigh as she walked to her friends and explained "My only prayer is that the rest are fine. Actually, it's Yuki I'm worried about the most. We left her outside to take care of the lion beasts and that wierd assassin guy.", Rem looked a bit sad "Yeah, I feel sad for doing that.". Lydia just sighed "Despite how chaotic you two can be, you're pretty more tend to feel emotional than the rest of us. Yuki is fine, let's go.". The girls walk out of the huge hall and unto the corridors, as they were walking out, White and Racheal were seen at the entrance of the base standing and waiting. Racheal saw Mio, Rem and Lydia walking out, she smiled "Ah, you guys made it.", Lydia replied "Jeez. If you survived, the least you could have done was to come to check up on us.", White had a nervous smile and said "I said the same thing, but Racheal thought it would have been a waste of time to check up on you three since she was confident you girls would be fine.". Lydia had a thought in her head "It almost sound like she wanted us to be dead, Racheal sure can be selfish when she wants to be.", Rem on the other hand was just smiling, she stretched out "Whatever, I'm just glad you both are okay.". Mio turned her head into the base "Hey, where is Kito and Baroka?", Kito's voice echoed "We're here.", he came walking out with Baroka being assisted to walk. Rem seemed a little concerned "Huh? Are you both okay?", she asked, Kito replied "No, we're not. We both got beaten pretty badly.", Baroka added with a cheerful smile "Until Kito lost it.", Kito seemed a bit cringed out "Hey don't say that!", Baroka replied "Sorry.". A few moments later, Racheal was healing Baroka's leg, she explained to him after healing him "You should be able to walk properly now.", Kito let go of Baroka for him to stand on his own, Baroka looked at his healed left leg "Wow, it's as good as new.", Rem added with a smile "You know, I would have healed your leg too if you had asked.". Kito thought to himself with a funny frown "She might have burned his leg by accident if she tried to heal it.", Baroka replied "Nah, its good. You seemed pretty beat up so I didn't bother."(Translation: I love my leg.). Kito then asked "What now?", White replied "Going home, that's what's next.", Yuki came walking out of a bush and waved to her friends "Hey, don't tell me you forgot about me.". Rem and Racheal waved to her with smiles of surprise "Hey Yuki. How are you?", Racheal asked, Yuki replied as she walked to them "I'm fine. My opponent was tough but it looks like I made it in one piece.", Kito replied with a tease "By tearing your opponent into pieces? Yeah, I get it.", Yuki shyly lashed at him "Don't say it like that.". White thought to himself "I'm starting to feel sorry for the poor guy she killed. Imagine being eaten alive by huge monster mouths and a 5'2 girl standing in the midst of it with a creepy smile", Lydia on the other hand looked at Yuki and had a soft smile on her face "I told you she'd be fine.", she thought to herself. Lydia then walked forward "Alright, mission complete. I'm going home.", Kito walked forward "Yeah, me too. I'm off.", Baroka felt a bit left behind "Hey, we're going to the same location, right? Why the rush.", Kito replied "Because I wanna go sleep.". White and Rachel just smiled at each other and walked off "Yeah, I agree with Kito.", Rem agreed as well and followed them "Same with me, let's go before things get wierd.", Mio just tapped Baroka at the back "There there buddy. Let's go.", they all walked off. Meanwhile Kazuma, Yuji, Volt and Regina had made it out of the forest and saw themselves in the wastelands they ran through before getting into the forest, Kazuma sighed "Phew, we made it out alive.", Yuji added "With our heads intact too.". Regina looked around "What about the others? Should we wait?", Kazuma explained "They'll meet us on the way.", Yuji turned to him with a wierd straight face "You do realise that it's a mission and that anything could have happened to them, right?". Kazuma just turned his head to another direction with a wierd smile "Whatever, they're doing fine. Trust.", Regina replied "I sure hope so.". Volt looked around, he thought to himself "Somethings not right here.". Meanwhile, as Rexus layed defeated and supposedly dead, a lady who seemed to be black and wearing a revealing clothing walked up to his burned body. She stummped him on the chest with her heels "Get up already.", Rexus jolted up while coughing "Ahhgac! Why did you have to stump on me like that? Harven". Haven replied "Shut your whining. You always find a way to survive the craziest things, it's no surprise you're alive.". Rexus burnt body slowly started to regenerate "Whatever, let me take a break so I can go. The hornets web cult is obviously desolved, the rest of them should be dead, that's what i think.". Haven knelt down to him "Yeah, Yeah, put your pants down already. You got all the info you needed, right? All we need is to report back to the Knight country.", Rexus asked "Pull my pants off? In here?", Haven replied "No one's watching, so I don't see why not.". She started to rub him down there "If you had died for real, I'd have brought you back as a sex doll so don't worry.", Rexus replied sarcastically "Yeah, so great.", Haven just smirked "Now, the true battle begins."
