“Hello friends! Would you like to know your points?” “Yes, Terry.” “What is that, can I smash it?” No, Ra, you can’t. “You have 32 points, placing you in 2nd place!” “Hmm, that's not bad, Ren. Let's go for first place.” “Yeah.” Just then, I hear a scream. “What the hell was that?” “I don’t know, Ren. Let's go and find out. It was coming from the right side.” Me and Kuro rush to the other side and see a massive, red, bulky Scourge. “That is a Grade 0,” Terry says. Kuro and I start sprinting toward the Scourge. I jump on its leg, slash its arm, and start stabbing it. It roars in agony, then it grabs me. It looks at me as all my energy starts releasing like crazy. “This Neutral Energy, it's so soothing, HahAHHAHAHHAH!” The Scourge's arm basically explodes. My body starts running up its body. Kuro comes too. “You're not trying to have all the fun to yourself, are you?” “Nah.” “Out of my way, this kill is mine.” Takashi starts jumping off the Scourge to reach its head. I slash, Kuro swings, and Takashi punches the Scourge in the head at the same time. It grabs Takashi and throws him at a car. He goes flying, then it screams and throws me and Kuro down too. Suddenly, I notice it has Rin in its grasp. Ra's already taking me up its body, with half my face smiling manically. It goes to crush Rin. What do I do? I can instantly kill it if I proceed, but then Rin dies. Or do I lose this opportunity to save a human life or take a potential win? What? Why am I even thinking about this? I take control and run toward Rin. Just as she's about to be crushed, I run at supersonic speeds, saving Rin. Huh? Ra, thanks. “What, no problem. You have a crush on her or something? Let's get moving.” I run back into battle.
