Enter the Eastern Tower

"Philia!" Shinzo yelled, running to Philia and pushing her out of the way.

The spear pierced his right leg and got stuck. Shinzo fell to the ground from the pain

"Shinzo!" Philia yelled. She started to run over to him.

"I wouldn't get too close to him if I were you!" Shadows Mask said to Philia.

"Why not?!" She yelled at him in anger.

"This is why. Bye-bye, Shinzo." Shadows Mask started. "Explode!"

The spear stuck in Shinzo's leg blows up and nothing can be seen because of the smoke that was created. "Shinzo!" Philia ran over to the smoke and used wind magic to remove the smoke.

Shinzo was laying on his stomach, his leg was mangled, and he was barely breathing and bleeding profusely.

"Shinzo! Can you hear me?!" Philia cried out.

She picked Shinzo up and put him on her back. "We'll finish this up at a later date!" Philia yelled at Shadows Mask.

Yuu ran through the town with Kamio right behind her. "Why are we going to the tower now?! Shouldn't we go find Sakiro?" Kamio asked her.

"No time. We have to destroy this tower now." Yuu came to a stop when they passed the site of the battle between Shadows Mask and Elites.

"Hmph, damn elites, doing the opposite of their job," Yuu said before taking off at full running speed toward the tower.

"Yuu! Slow down!"

They arrived at the tower minutes later. "Finally here!" Yuu yelled at the entrance.

"How do you plan to get us in?" Kamio asked her.

"It's simple." Yuu began as she walked up to the front door.

"We just use the door!" Yuu yelled as she kicked the door down, causing an alarm to go off.

"It would seem that they have finally arrived." An elite, with grey stripes on the cloak, said looking out of a window.

"Melissa! What is the estimated time of arrival for those two." The man yelled.

A young girl with maroon-colored hair kept in a small ponytail looked up to him. "About half an hour, Rex." Rex walked over to Melissa and punched her in the face, throwing her to the opposite side of the room.

"Don't lie to me!" Rex yelled at her.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry, it will take them about fifteen minutes," Melissa told him, a bruise slowly appearing on her face.

Guards were rushing towards the entrance of the tower. "Hurry! Don't let them past the entrance!" One of the guards yelled.

"Hmm, so this is our welcoming committee? I would've liked something that would have provided more of a challenge." Yuu said, walking towards the guards.

She started to surround her body with a purple aura. "I've been wanting to try out this move." Yuu started as the guards surrounded her.

Yuu pointed her right arm at the guards to her right. "What does she think she's doing?" Kamio said to himself.

"He-he, Bomb!" Yuu yelled as the aura around her body transferred to her arm and shot out of her palm at the guards, in a dark purple ball.

When the ball came into contact with the guards it exploded, blasting half of the guards bodies into the walls of the building. "Who else wants some!"

Rex walked downstairs, dragging Melissa behind him with a chain. "Hurry it up!" He yelled at the ten-year-old.

"Lady Irima wouldn't approve of this," Melissa whispered under her breath.

They continued the walk down the stairs in silence until they walked into a meeting room with three people sitting at a round table. "Listen up! I'm sure by now you've heard the alarm, I need you three to deal with the intruders." Rex told the three.

The three stood up. "Understood." One of the three said in a low voice.

"Don't let them get up here!" Rex yelled at them as they left the room.

"Ha, those guards were too weak!" Yuu yelled as she and Kamio were walking up a flight of stairs.

"Don't you think you may have gone a bit overboard?" Kamio asked her.

Yuu stopped and turned to face him. "No way!" A loud explosion could be heard from the other side of the building.

"What the hell?!" Yuu yelled.

"What could've made that noise?" Kamio asked.

"Bad news, Rex," Melissa said.

"What is it?!" Rex yelled at her in an irritated voice.

"It would seem that the criminal Shadows Mask has broken into the tower," Melissa explained to him.

"Damn"

"Damn! Once again, too much noise." Shadows Mask said.

"Hmm, you're not one of the criminals I'm looking for." A man dressed in all black said.

"Waku." Shadows Mask said quietly.
