Everyone Vs. The Prisoner Climax! I Will Not Be A Burden.

The spike stops when he hears a voice.

Alice "STOP!"

She screams. He doesn't remove his gaze from Shiori but does stop for a moment. 

Alice "Yo-you want to kill someone weak? Kill me, not her. Sh-she's so much stronger than me even like that."

She stutters and shakes in fear with her hands up.

Alice "If I die right here and now, no one will c-care so c-come take my life instead. I'm a pathetic little weakling who couldn't do anything to-"

Before she can finish what she says, a spike shoots through the air with blitzing speed. She stops as her eyes widen and her body stiffens. She turns her head to look at her hand to see a hole through it where a spike ran through. She shakes as tears begin forming in her eyes. Her knees buckle a bit as she sweats and cries in fear. Ben grunts and squints his eye in frustration as he drops Shiori. Shiori coughs and groans as she looks at Alice.

Shiori "Alice.."

She says, trying to move. Ben turns to face her as Alice snaps her head back to look at him. He sniffs the air just a bit before looking at Alice, pausing for a moment. 

Alice 'I'm… going to die.'

She thinks as her whole body shakes with terror. Hikigaya lifts his body up just a bit as he coughs up blood, struggling to move as his shaky hand grabs the spike in his chest. 

Hikigaya 'Come on… move..!'

He thinks as he struggles to recover. The events that follow all happen in a matter of moments. Alice barely stands with her whole body trembling as Ben forms a rail spike in the palm of his hand. As he pulls his arm back, spike in hand, preparing to shoot it at her, someone comes running their way. In that same moment, Shiori's hands and legs glow with a platinum energy, forcing her to her feet as she bolts in Alice's direction. Suddenly, Alice's vision begins to fall sideways. She doesn't even realize the reason her vision is falling is because she is collapsing to her side. She sees as Shiori dashes in front of her and as the spike flies through the air, stabbing into Shiori's side and continuing through. Hikigaya looks up with horror as the spike pierces through Shiori's side. As Shiori begins to fall back, she looks back with a horribly shocked expression as the spike continues and pierces into Chizuru's body right behind her. Chizuru's eyes are wide with shock and focus as she stares intently at Alice. Alice looks back with terrified eyes as she watches the spike stab through Chizuru's body. All three of them collapse onto the ground at the same moment. Samuel covers her mouth in terror as a few classmates scream. Ben stands there watching them as they hit the ground. Hikigaya's eyes shake as he watches in disbelief. Shiori hits the ground back first as blood pours from her mouth from the injury she just received. She immediately flips over and begins clawing her way towards Chizuru.

Shiori "No.. No, not again.."

She says through drowned out words from the blood pooling in her throat, begging for Chizuru's life as she bleeds out. Ben watches them as Hikigaya's hands grab the ground tightly, clenching his fists.

Hikigaya "Fuck.. Fuck!! FUCK!!!"

He screams, slamming his fists into the ground with each yell. With each hit to the ground, the ground shakes more and more until Ben even stumbles over a bit. Hikigaya shatters the ground as his eyes are shut tight and he clenches his teeth. He slams his hands against his head as he curls up a bit. He sees Chizuru in front of him before seeing his sister in his arms the night at Fawn Tower. He shakes as he starts scratching and rubbing his hands on his head furiously, shaking on the ground.

Hikigaya "I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE!!"

He screams before slamming his hands onto the ground and blasting his way to Ben, giving him no time to react. Hikigaya grabs Ben's left wrist, crushing it on contact before latching onto his throat again. His grip is so tight, Ben chokes out some blood instantly.

Hikigaya "JUST DIE ALREADY!!"

He screams in the face of Ben before launching him with godly levels of force into the mountain side a distance away. Hikigaya blasts his way after him. Shiori gets to Chizuru and sits up before her as Chizuru squeaks and cries as blood begins to spill from her mouth as well. Shiori hastily looks at her body before a glowing gold energy forms from her hand. She coughs up blood as the energy fades before returning as Shiori struggles to stay up right and conscious from the hole inside her body. Alice quickly rushes to their side.

Alice "Shiori. Shiori! You have to heal yourself first!"

Focusing on Chizuru, she doesn't react to Alice's words.

Alice "If you die, she dies!"

Shiori looks at Alice with desperation filled eyes before coughing up more blood.

Alice "I know, I know!"

She says with fear, worry and desperation, tears rolling down her face. Chizuru, despite shaking intensely, taps Shiori's leg. Shiori shuts her eyes tightly with confliction before placing her hand on her side, Chizuru coughing and panicking as Alice takes her hand tightly. Samuel rushes out as sirens and lights flash behind her. First Responders come rushing out of their vehicles and to the scene as the class comes out of hiding too. Sugawara holds Haru as Lucy and Ryuji help keep Touma standing. He looks over and sees Chizuru as his eyes grow wide. He forcibly pulls away from Lucy and Ryuji and rushes to her but within a couple steps, everything spins as his eyes roll back and he collapses. 

Lucy "Touma! You have to stop, you need help."

She says with worry on her words. Tears roll down Touma's face as he lays face first in the dirt. 

Alice "Over here! Hurry, please!"

She screams as the field medics rush to her side. Samuel grabs Alice by the shoulder gently before pulling her away from them. 

Samuel "Come on, we gotta get out of their way."

She says comforting her as Alice begins to cry out before turning into Samuel's embrace. 

Medic "Excuse me kid. We got her, go to the other medic to get looked at."

He says to Shiori as she shakes her head.

Shiori "N..no."

She says with a muffled voice from the blood in her throat as the glowing from her hand increases. Smoke and burning comes from her wound as she winces in pain.

Shiori "I can help."

She quickly removes her hand from her side and places it on Chizuru's body. The medic is shocked to see Chizuru's wound heal ever so slightly but understands.

Medic "Okay."

He says softly before getting to work as well with a concerned look.

Ben smashes into the mountain side creating a huge crater in the mountain. He staggers and is stunned as his body creaks and snaps from the impact but he doesn't fall. Suddenly, Hikigaya grabs his face and slams his head back into the wall creating a huge crack up the cliffside. He then pulls Ben's head back before slamming it back into the wall over and over again until blood paints the cliffside. Hikigaya stops for a moment as Ben begins to slide down but before he can fully hit the ground Hikigaya stomps his head back into the cliffside one more time before grabbing him and throwing him through many trees behind him. Ben smashes through tree after tree before flipping in the air and catching himself, sliding across the ground. He then pulls his arm back, forming a long rail spike in both his hands and preparing to launch it like a javelin. Hikigaya dashes his way and pulls his bone covered fist back, readying to clash with the spike. The spike is launched with astounding speed as Hikigaya slams his fist directly into the end of it. In an instant, the spike follows through and rips straight through Hikigaya's arm and shoulder. Blood sprays out as Hikigaya doesn't even flinch. He slams his foot down before extending his other arm to grab the prisoner by the neck and slamming him against the large tree behind him. Instantly, he regrows his arm and drives it straight into Ben's face. Blood gushes out of his nose and falls down his face but without a second thought, Hikigaya continues smashing his fist into Ben's face again and again, assaulting him with rageful fury unlike anything he's shown before. In response, the prisoner forms a spike in his hand and drives it straight up into Hikigaya's jaw. Stunned for only a moment, Hikigaya growls back before punching the prisoner through the tree. He flips and tumbles before catching himself on the ground but his knee buckles. He looks down surprised before grunting and gritting his teeth in frustration. He looks directly at Hikigaya.

Ben "I'm over this."

Hikigaya charges after him as Ben lifts his arms before driving his fists into the ground with a loud grunt. He looks sharply at Hikigaya as he stomps right in front of him but before Hikigaya can do anything else, multiple long and varying spikes jet out of the ground, impaling Hikigaya's body over and over in an instant. His rage instantly disperses as his blood spills all over the ground where he hovers, lifted by the spikes. His eyes are white as he stares at the ground. Ben stands up straight while panting heavy breaths as blood falls from his face and beaten body.

Ben "You. Your life. Has no more value.. For your strength. I will go back and finish what I-"

As he speaks to Hikigaya, the blood on the ground and from his wounds instantly harden and spike out in all directions, impaling and cutting Ben multiple times across his body, stunning him. He stumbles back as his legs struggle to keep him upright. He grunts in pain and struggles to stay conscious but quickly jumps high and far away from Hikigaya's location, leaving him there as his head drops. 

Back with Chizuru, the medic works as Shiori strains her Healing Aura over Chizuru. She sweats and struggles in pain as the glowing fade and flickers occasionally. 

Shiori 'Please.. Please work..'

She thinks as she strains against her own injuries and fatigue to help save her friend. She looks at Chizuru's injuries as doubt spreads across her face.

Shiori 'It's not.. Getting better..'

Tears well in her eyes as she tries and tries. Suddenly, a huge crash is heard behind them. Everyone looks up in shock to see Ben getting up from the destroyed ground where he just landed. Everyone's eyes show terror and fear as he stands before them.

Sugawara "Hikigaya..?"

He says as worry and anxiety fill his eyes.

Lucy "No."

She says with disbelief.

Ben "Still alive."

He takes one step before instantly being hit by an intense beam of flame. Shiori struggles on the ground to heal Chizuru with one hand and blasting Ben back with the other. He puts his arms up to block the intense flames but continues to stomp towards her, slowly. She grits her teeth as she doesn't give up.

Officer "Come on! Put him down!"

He shouts as the four officers pull out their weapons and begin blasting the prisoner as well. Despite the assault, he continues towards them. Alice watches as her eyes shake and fill with stress and strain.

Alice "Stop.."

The officers get between Ben and Shiori in an attempt to protect her only for one to get backhanded away and another is stabbed through the chest. 

Alice "Leave us alone.."

She says quietly as Shiori turns her whole body towards him and uses both of her hands to blast the fire. The increase in intensity causes Ben to stop for a moment but he continues to take slow steps towards her until he is almost right in front of them. A crack of thunder sounds in the distant skies. In an act of impulse, Alice rushes to Shiori's side with an angry, scared, and stress filled look on her face.

Alice "GO AWAY!!"

She screams as she shoves her hands forward. Suddenly, a vortex forms in the sky and jets down towards her before directing towards Ben. Combining with Shiori's flames, the fire tornado slams into Ben, instantly pushing him back a bit. He struggles against the powerful winds and fires but Alice and Shiori continue blasting him with their force, pushing him back further and further until he yells back before getting sent flying through the air with extreme speeds, sending him off far, far away.
