Shiori & Hikigaya Vs. The Prisoner. This Time We Save Her, Together!

She quickly forms two glowing titanium colored whips around her hands and snaps them at the prisoner, wrapping around his neck and wrist, stopping him. She struggles to pull him back as she slides across the ground, digging into the dirt as he continues to pull in that direction.

Shiori "What are.. You doing.!? The fight is here..!"

She groans as she holds him back.

Prisoner "This fight.. Taking too long.. The weak are that way.. Easier bodies to stack."

He chokes out as the whip around his neck tightens. Suddenly, he slams his foot down and twists powerfully causing Shiori to go flying towards him. He twists back with intense speed as he slams his arm into her face, clotheslining her. As soon as he completely spins, Hikigaya delivers a devastating uppercut to his chin, causing him to lift into the air and rattling him a bit. Before he can hit the ground again, Hikigaya grabs his orange jumpsuit and slams him overhead into the ground head first. Slamming right on his neck, the prisoner bleeds a bit from his mouth. He collapses onto the ground before getting back up to one knee. He looks up only to be met by a pair of shoots blasting his way before colliding with his face. Hikigaya dropkicks the man hard causing him to go flying back. Hikigaya flips back up and stares angrily at the prisoner. 

Hikigaya "We are not letting you hurt them!"

He shouts intensely as the prisoner sits up with a bloody nose. 

Prisoner "You're going to have to try harder than that."

He says with a plain expression. Suddenly, he jumps high into the air as the same liquid metal he uses to form his spikes begins to pool in both of his hands. He lifts them above his head as a huge rail spike begins to form, one about three times the size of the man. Hikigaya grits his teeth as he stares at it. The prisoner then launches the massive spike directly at Hikigaya with alarming speed. 

Shiori "Hikigaya! Move!"

She shouts as Hikigaya covers his arms in bone, bracing for impact. It collides with his hands before smashing into the ground along with Hikigaya causing a massive burst under the ground, rattling the surrounding area. The class hides by the main office building of the camp as they stumble from the force of the impact. Samuel immediately pulls out her phone and begins calling for emergency services. 

Alice "Ms. Samuel! We have to go back and help them!"

Sugawara "We can't leave them there to fight that thing alone!"

Samuel "And what do you expect us to do?? I don't know why or how they are as strong as they are but I refuse to let any more of you get in any more danger! You are my students and I am your teacher! I protect you!"

She shouts in a combination of fear, anxiety and stress as the EMS answers the phone. Samuel turns away from them a bit to talk to the EMS responder as the class looks terrified and worried.

Alice "What should we do??"

Haru "You know she's right! What would we do to him? We're not like them! We'd just get in the way!"

He says with a worried look on his face as Alice gets a conflicted one.

Haru "Look, I get it. I don't want my friends to get hurt either but we are weak. We can't help them. The best we can do is stay as far away as possible."

He says with an upset look as the rest of the class understands.

Daiki "So they're like, superheroes or something?"

Chizuru "They have power, a lot of it. They'll definitely be okay, I know it!"

Alice's face brightens just a bit.

Alice "Yeah, you're right. If anyone can beat this guy it's Fullsky and Watchdog!"

Suddenly, a few spikes of varying sizes stab into the building above them, one of them shooting straight through the head of a staff member with them and another cutting across Samuel's cheek. The class screams and yells in shock as they cover their heads from the debris and awful sight. They look over to see the prisoner making his way towards them. He grunts a bit as he stomps towards them, dragging the ball and chain behind him. Samuel quickly pushes the class behind her without shifting her gaze from him or acknowledging the wound now bleeding from her face. 

Prisoner "You die later. Bring me the weak one first."

Samuel grits her teeth as she trembles a bit but her look of determination doesn't falter.

Samuel "I won't abandon them! Protecting these kids is my one duty! I won't let you hurt them!"

She shouts as they continue to back up. 

Prisoner "Prolonging their lives won't bring value to yours. Nothing will."

He says coldly when suddenly, Shiori kicks out his knee from behind causing him to fall to one knee. She then quickly uppercuts him before striking him across the face left then immediately right in quick succession. Without removing his gaze from the class or specifically one person in the class, he speaks.

Prisoner "Bring me-"

He says before Shiori strikes him across the face a couple more times but he snaps his attention back to the class after each punch.

Prisoner "The weak one."

He says as the class stares with worried looks. Chizuru gets a frightened look as if realizing something as Shiori grits her teeth in anger. She pulls back her fist as it glows a pink hue.

Shiori "Sakura Bulb!"

She shouts before driving her fist deep into the prisoner's stomach, delivering a massive force with the burst of energy. The prisoner pukes up a pool of blood as Shiori stumbles back. She winces as her arm makes cracking sounds. Her eyes widen as the prisoner backhands her with intense strength, sending her tumbling across the ground. The prisoner takes one step but as soon as he does, Hikigaya stomps the back of his head into the dirt with intense speed. The prisoner lifts his head with a grunt but the moment he does, Hikigaya follows up with a heavy punch directly in the center of his face. The prisoner flies back for a moment but catches himself with his leg before forming a long rail spike in his hand and swinging it at Hikigaya with blistering speed. It strikes him across the face with a metallic bang. Blood flies from Hikigaya's face as he stumbles over. The prisoner quickly follows up with a heavy punch across his face in the opposite direction before swiftly punching him in the stomach. Hikigaya coughs out blood as the prisoner lifts his arms above his head. Chizuru closes her eyes and covers her head with her hands with a terrified but conflicted look on her face. Hikigaya is stunned and unable to defend himself as the prisoner swings his big arms upon Hikigaya's body, slamming him into the ground, crushing it beneath him and exploding a cloud of dirt and dust. The class covers themselves from the debris with Samuel stepping in front of them, trying her best to shield them too. Her eyes widen as the prisoner comes bolting from the dust cloud directly at them. She doesn't falter, however. She stands in front of the class, arms outstretched in an attempt to offer herself first before the class when suddenly, Chizuru runs out from the group and directly in another direction. The prisoner's eyes immediately follow her as he turns and runs towards her. Samuel turns her head to them with a shocked look.

Samuel "Chizuru, no!"

She screams as the prisoner lifts his arm above his head with a spike in hand. Chizuru's eyes grow wide as she looks back. The prisoner swings down with tremendous force but before he can hit her, Alice grabs Chizuru and jumps out of the way, the prisoner's fist slamming into the ground behind them. They tumble on the ground a bit as the prisoner looks up, surprised. Suddenly, a black tail wraps around his wrist before yanking him into the air. Shiori swings him around and slams him directly into a large tree. He grunts as he begins to fall but then a fist flies at him, punching his face back into the tree. Then another and another. Shiori begins a barrage of punches against the prisoner's body in the air, her arms extending like Hikigaya's do for each punch. As she assaults the prisoner, Alice looks at Chizuru with a confused and upset look.

Alice "What the hell is wrong with you?! Why did you do that?!"

Chizuru "It's me! He wants me!"

She shouts with tears in her eyes and fear across her face. Alice's face suddenly shifts to one of surprise yet understanding. She gets a determined look.

Alice "Then let's play keep away."

Chizuru nods with her scared but determined look. They quickly get up and begin running as Touma notices. He then bolts after them. Haru watches them for a moment before grabbing the dirt, clenching his fists tightly.

Haru "not this time.."

He says under his breath before chasing after them. Sugawara gets a shocked look before trying to get up and chase after him.

Sugawara "Haru, don't!"

Before he can chase, Samuel wraps her arms around him.

Samuel "No! You are not leaving! Come on, everyone run!"

She commands as the rest of the class runs in another direction. As the barrage of punches continues, the prisoner quickly forms spikes in his hand and launches them at Shiori in an attempt to stop her. Two miss but one hits her shoulder, causing her to stumble back and ending the barrage. The prisoner drops down with a heavy thud before noticing Chizuru running away. As they run, Touma and Haru catch up quickly.

Haru "Chizuru, what's going on??"

Chizuru "He wants to kill me first. I'm the weakest one here. If I run away, maybe it'll give the others time to escape."

Touma then quickly picks her up in his arms as they run. 

Haru "Right, okay, yeah. Let's do it."

He says, obviously terrified but trying to help his friend. The prisoner immediately gives chase to them, quickly gaining on them. Shiori then jets into the air with her black wings from her back with Hikigaya in her hands. She flips through the air with intense speed before launching Hikigaya down like a missile straight for the prisoner. The prisoner turns around in the moment before Hikigaya slams into him, slamming into the ground. Hikigaya quickly stands above the prisoner, slamming his foot down against his left wrist before covering his fists with sharp, hard bone. He begins punching the prisoner across the face back and forth.

Hikigaya "Leave. My. Friends. Alone!-"

With snapping speeds, with his right hand, the prisoner shoots a spike out at Hikigaya's face but he leans back just in time only to get a cut up his cheek. At that moment, the prisoner grabs Hikigaya by the face and stands up quickly, preparing to slam Hikigaya into the ground but before he can, Shiori drop kicks him in the face causing him to let go of Hikigaya and stumble back. Both Shiori and Hikigaya pant for a moment, trying to catch their breath.

Hikigaya 'Back then I couldn't protect my sister…'

Shiori 'Back then I couldn't save Amber…'

Shiori/Hikigaya 'But this time…'

They think at the same time before getting sharp looks of determination.

Shiori/Hikigaya "This time we will save her, together!"

They shout as the prisoner looks up at the group running and quickly chases them, ignoring Shiori and Hikigaya. Before he can get too far, Hikigaya blitzes past him and slams his foot into the ground next to the prisoner. He pulls his arm back before driving a heavy punch into the stomach of the prisoner. Once again, blood pours from his mouth as he stumbles back. He looks up to see Shiori lifting a large tree above him before driving it straight down upon his head and into the ground. In a moment, a large spike drives straight up and through the tree, shattering it to pieces. He grunts as his injuries begin piling up. He growls as he forms 8 rail spikes in his hands before blasting them all at Hikigaya who charges him. Using his fists, he punches most of them away but one stabs into his right leg while the other stabs into his left shoulder but without hesitation he follows through with a bone-covered punch across his face. The prisoner's ears ring from the attack but with no time to think, Hikigaya drives another punch into his face back up. The prisoner coughs for a moment before lifting his arm back with a spike in hand, preparing to impale Hikigaya with it but before he can, Shiori wraps her energy whip around his wrist, stopping him. With wide eyes, he looks back only to receive a swift kick across the face and back down as Shiori dashes by and slides across the ground. As the prisoner is rattled by the kick, Hikigaya dashes behind him and wraps his arms tightly around his waist. He lifts him into the air before shouting.

Hikigaya "Now Shiori!"
