"Supers fight back!"

Izumi and Ryu walk into the Public Safety office since they are currently the ones running things and doing a good job at keeping things in order but they mainly have the colour bands to thank for the sense of peace hovering around the nation.

You swipe your band to enter all the places, even underaged kids cannot enter bars or clubs because when they walk through the door the alarms will go off or the door won't open.

The bands keep track of who's where and when which created a new job opportunity called watch listing where the people record where each band just dinged keeping a tab on who's coming and going at specific places.

"Hello there, how may I help you?" The woman greets them with a bright smile and Izumi returns the smile while Ryu is sceptic about being in public so casually without a band.

Lynx and Aiko are doing some grocery shopping and walk past a restaurant spotting Ken and Ake talking about the marks on their hands.

"We only managed to find 2 of the three stones Ken, maybe she's desperate and we need to find the other stone."

Ken glares at Ake and the man shrugs his shoulders, "In case you forgot we agreed to give back the first one and any day now we have to give it back we're looking for things that don't want to be found.

"I signed my girlfriend up to be used as a source of power for some dried fountain of youth back there so I'd like to focus on that. Where's the stone?"

"Ken your obsession with Yuno will get us killed that's the least of our worries right now. This shit is back and in case you forgot we went through hell to have the spell broken and an entire tribe of witches couldn't undo this, you know what we have to do."

"We're not killing Sensen's mother."

Ake narrows his eyes and writes down a date on a piece of paper giving it to Ken.

31 December.

"On that date all immortals turn mortal for a full 24 hours and all their power diminishes, well not immortals like you but when you finally want to do the right thing let me know.

"Where Yuno is concerned all you have to do is tell her the truth and let her go on her own she won't say no if it'll save your ass. Unless you want the woman to come after us herself."

"No, I don't. I'll talk to Yuno and ask Roku how we can break this spell, though if the Empress is still alive what do you think it means for the rest of them? Are they alive too?"

"I don't know Tachibana, just get back to me when you finally have a plan."

Ken smirks and nods, "I forgot that I do have a plan, the new guy at my Palace has an All time manipulation ability.

"He can reverse this and we finally get fixed and I won't have to go on another wild goose chase all over the world looking for some annoying stone and thanks to you and Kim breaking the mirror you ruined us."

Ake gives Ken the bag with broken pieces of the broken mirror, "Tell him to try and fix this and maybe we can finish this mess rather than cause more problems.

"The only way we're getting out of this is if we finish what we started last resort we kill the bitch and that's it."

Lynx turns to Aiko and tells her what he overheard.

"Think Izumi will be happy if we tell him we want to find the last stone and bait them into killing the Empress once and for all?" Aiko asks looking confident in her idea and Lynx smiles,.

"First step to trigger a reaction and to reinforce the idea of killing the Empress to break the Hex is for us to go after the stones they already have. So, for now let's keep it between us."

"I knew you two were shopping for drama and not food, count me in and I know where we can find the first one." Hitoshi startles the two and smirks looking ready to go.

"So, we're doing this just the three of us?" Aiko asks and the two males nod.

"Let's go than, we have an Empress to finish off and if her still being alive affects their curse it means Ryu is in danger."

Izumi sits in front of the head of the commissioner and takes a deep breath feeling a splitting headache attack him.

"Are you okay? You're not looking very good." Ryu takes a step back when Izumi's reply is to bring her to her knees with his eyes glowing bright red.

"Leave before I kill you, it's a full moon tonight and I think we didn't kill Senitsu."

Ryu puts her hands up in surrender and walks away while Izumi turns to the commissioner and sighs.

"Look, I'm only going to say this once I hate repeating myself." Izumi looks the man dead in the eyes and uses an optic illusion to plead his case of how he's the rightful Emperor of Japan, "I don't care how you convince the others, but you have a week mess it up and you're done for, you all are."

Izumi will get rid of the Public Safety Bureau and leave the entire country in disarray so he can build it up to it's former glory if that's what he has to do, but he won't settle for ridiculous investigations and long procedures to get to the throne he will be Emperor one way or another.

He's just willing to start off the nice way before he gets the crown the hard way. That is IF it comes to that.

Yuno taps the steering wheel occasionally looking at Tori through the rear-view mirror he smiles every time he catches Yuno staring and she smiles too looking away immediately. She did not expect traffic at a time like this, "Shouldn't these people be at home or something?"

A drone hovers over her car and her band clicks. Tori winces and Yuno turns around nearly giving herself whiplash. "Are you okay?"

He puckers his lips before he whimpers and starts crying.

Ken and Ake stand outside as they see the city flooded with drones and they all have a specific target they are locked onto.

Ken's phone rings and he answers while keeping an eye on his drone only to hear Tori crying on the other line and a distressed Yuno who can't figure out what's wrong with Tori.

"Where are you?"

Yuno gives him directions to the high way and Ken gets in his car speeding over only to find the long traffic jam and now he has to leave his car to find Yuno on foot trapped between cars that are acting like they are barricading her on purpose.

If they come any closer she won't be able to get out of the car.

The traffic is due to the Anti-Supers group cornering Roman high school busses just returning from the Palace with the students inside and demanding that all the red Banders should get off the bus and senselessly blocking the road scaring the children.

Kai is on the third bus watching the mob terrorise the one with the elementary schoolers.

"Where the hell are you going Lin?" Rex grabs his hand and he snatches himself out of his hold opening the bus door and getting off standing in front of the mob.

"Get away from them." Kai generates a water whip and glares at the mob disgusted that they'd actually threaten the lives of innocent children.

"Lin, don't do anything stupid." He turns to Rex and smirks.

"You going to help me or I'm getting a lecture all by myself?" Rex sighs and jumps out the window.

"Those two are just stupid." Their classmate comments and Rou from the girl's soccer team gets off the bus.

"It's not stupidity it's bravery."

The Mob doesn't look at all intimidated and shakes the first bus scaring the kids inside.

"What's the plan exactly?" Rou asks Kai and Rex.

They turn their heads and shrug their shoulder, "If they shake the bus we shake the crowd, they hit the ground we hit the ground. Whatever they do were going to do it better."

Rex jumps up and Punches the floor shattering the ground and leaving a huge dent and thick cracks on the surface, his ability is Strength Enhancement and if he went all out he'd cause a tremor that would cover a 5 Km radius if not more.

Tachibana finds Yuno and takes Tori who's aching all over and can't make it stop. "Where's Snow?"

Yuno calls Setsuno and he gets no answer she calls Ackerman and she gets no answer.

"Something's wrong they won't answer."

"I think the right answer is that they can't." Ake throws Ken's keys in his face and makes a sly comment about him leaving them in the ignition just like that.

Snow is running through town to get to Tori and manages to find Kai biting his leg and pulling him with everything he's got.

"Woah, Snow easy, What's the matter?"

The wolf howls and runs off, "Follow, you know it means Hitori is not in good shape."

Kai follows the ice trail left by Snow.

Yuno sighs in relief asking him to generate water and cooling Tori off with her healing while waiting to get word in from Setsuno and Ackerman who are currently knocked unconscious due to a surprise attack and only managed to let Roku and Sensen get away.

"Roku do something."

Roku glares at Sensen and she looks away keeping her mouth shut he was concentrating and now she broke his concentration. "They'll be fine I'm sensing a disturbance with Hitori and Xavier, any Super without a band is not doing so good right now I don't know why?"

"The drones duh!" Roku calls Ken and tells him that the drones are emitting a signal that is somehow hurting any Super without a band.

"Kai, destroy them all I don't care how just do it." Ken orders while Yuno calls Maria, but she's knocked out unconscious while Xavier lies down paralysed on the floor.

"Snow, can you find Xavier?" Yuno gives Snow Xavier's jacket and the pup sprints off. "You guys go I'll stay behind just in case I need to call you back here for Kai's sake."

~

Ian runs into the house and destroys the drone helping Maria up and watching as Xavier's scales recede and he sits up slightly bleeding from his ears. Ian rewinds him and locks the door staying on guard.

Roku sent him here since Tori was no longer in any immediate danger, "but what about the other children? Majority of the children all have abilities and this low frequency isn't hurting them it's killing them."

~

"Do you guys hear that? It's seriously irritating."

Kai looks at Rou and starts to panic getting back on the bus, "Listen, these drones are going to kill us and everyone without a colour band.

"So, all those with the abilities to reach other kids out there get to them and destroy the drones because their starting to affect us too."

He staggers back and turns around losing his vision slowly, but surely.

"Kai, it's not affecting me." Yuno catches Kai before he collapses and a gun shot goes off, but thanks to one of the middle schoolers there was a shield up on time.

"Any one with an ability that can build things? Or do you guys know anywhere with a large body of water?"

"We just came back from the hot springs a few miles back I can get us there." The bus driver states and Yuno nods.

"Get word out that if anyone needs medical attention that's where they'll get it. Those of you unaffected destroy these drones and rescue anyone who needs it."

Ken opens the door and finds Ian on the phone with Roku.

"Your ability can help people, Yuno has a med bay in the east I have someone who will come get you and you start a med bay in the west. I'm assuming Ken is already there."

"Yes, he just arrived."

"Good, leave the rest to him and you focus on that. Ackerman and Setsuno will be your first patients. Jet is already searching the streets with the rest of the Road Junkies."

Ken and Ake split up with Ake going to check on Kim who's knocked unconscious paralysed on the floor with her scales hardening even further the frequency is intensifying and thus making things worse for her.

Jet passes a neighbourhood and spreads word that they have to destroy the drones in the air to stop the frequency attacking the children and where to go for medical attention.

Yuno jumps into the hot spring holding Kai and heals him waiting for him to get up. "Kai, wake up."

He groans and swims out of the water but the frequency is stronger affecting him much quicker than before.

"Everyone just stay in the water and hold each other up. As long as you're in the water the minute you pass out you'll be healed."

Ake helps Kim up and opens the door to find a mob waiting and the staff is surprised.

"Dammit!"

Ake takes a deep breath and uses his ability to drop everyone like flies walking past them and getting Kim to Ian.

The streets are filled with Roman high kids taking down drones and rescuing people.

The PSB send out all the soldiers they've got.

"Supers fight back!" The announcement is heard throughout the country via the very drones hurting everyone. In all honesty killing a lot of kids. 

"Ken, your eyes." Ian takes a step back after rewinding the hex that was made on Tachibana

This whole time it was suppressing his dragon side and now all that pent-up energy is about to go Berserk just like it did with Xavier.
