"The Jade Lake"

Peaceful blue skies, chirping birds and fresh air surrounds Moga who was laying on the ground of Jade Lake Island. As he admires the view, it was covered then by the shadow of Levin who followed Moga to the woods. It was weeks since Koko's death and the Ringleaders are still searching for the Jade Lake on the Island that risen from the Sea.

"What's up?" Levin lay beside Moga.

"Just relaxing and enjoying the view." Moga said.

"I agree, this place is relaxing." Levin said and inhales the fresh air.

"God I miss her." Moga looked up in the sky.

"We all miss her, but she's resting now, and guiding us." Levin said and looks at Moga.

"Mhm. We better go back to help the others." Moga got up and pat his clothes to clean it.

"Let's go." Levin and Moga leaves the woods.

The Ringleaders managed to make their camp for them to sleep and prepare themselves for battles. When Moga and Levin got back to the camp, Hazeki and Kiera were cooking something.

"Hey, that smells good." Levin said.

"Of course, Kiera managed to shoot a pig." Hazeki looked at Kiera.

"Oh it was because you helped me." Kiera smiled at Hazeki and both of them are staring.

"Wait, is something going on between you two?" Moga raised his eyebrows.

"W-What?! No!" Both Kiera and Hazeki denied.

"There's definitely something going on." Levin laugh.

"We're back!" Lily and Kiko got back from picking up wood sticks for fire.

"Nice, we can lit this fire until tonight." Hazeki helped Lily.

"Thanks. Kiera, let's prepare the plates." Lily went to Kiera.

"Oh Sure! Guys we'll get the plates from Old Tanju." Kiera and Lily went to Old Tanju's room.

Kiera knocks on the door and opened it, Old Tanju was laying on a crafted bed with towel on his forehead.

"How are you feeling Tanju granpa?" Kiera served him some water.

"Better, this old man is strong enough to get sick for weeks." Old Tanju boasts.

"I see, you got a fever yesterday, good thing you're feeling better now." Kiera said.

"Granpa, I'll borrow your plates and cups for our dinner. Make sure you'll eat, Kiera caught a pig." Lily said and grabs the utensils.

The two left and starts to set a food aside for Old Tanju. The Ringleaders starts eating dinner but Levin noticed that Kijima is gone.

"Guys, where's Kiji?" Levin stood up.

"I don't know, she said she'll grab some water." Hazeki said.

"I'll look for her." Levin left the camp.

"Why do I feel like he's attached to that lady." Moga said and eats the food.

"Kiji is not a bad person Moga, I know she's new to our group but I can see that she's kind." Kiera said.

"I think she's also helpful." Kiko added.

"Yeah, I remember how she helped us." Kiera said.

"Tanju Granpa!" Lily stood up and went to Old Tanju who left his room.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I can walk now." Old Tanju said.

"But you're still coughing Granpa, you also need to rest." Kiera said and offered him a seat.

"Oh, don't worry. The witch is looking for my medicine." Old Tanju said.

"Witch?" Hazeki looks at Old Tanju confusingly.

On Levin's night walk, he's still looking for Kijima on the woods but on his way he saw a river which he followed. Walking towards the voice of someone familiar, Levin saw Kijima singing while playing with water.

"There you are!" Levin rushes to Kijima.

"Levin? What are you doing here?" Kijima covers the bottler on her hand.

"Everyone's worried about you." Levin said.

"They are?" Kijima stood up.

"Yes, let's go back and don't wander around again." Levin grab Kijima's wrist and walks back to the camp.

When Levin and Kijima got back, the other Ringleaders are staring at them with serious face.

"W-what's wrong?" Levin asked everyone.

"Levin, stay away from that lady." Hazeki said.

"What? Why? What's wrong?" Levin asked looking each member in the eye.

"She never told us what she was." Lily said.

"Levin, she's a witch." Moga added.

Kijima felt how unwelcome she was and how the others look at her so she left her bottle at the table and leaves the camp.

"I knew that she was a witch, but she's not like the others! She's half witch! She's not a bad person." Levin said and followed Kijima.

"You kids are mean. Look, she even left the medicine for me." Old Tanju grabs the bottle and drinks it.

"Ah this feels good, I knew she's a different witch." Old Tanju said as his skin tone turned back to normal and the weight he lost got back.

"Granpa, you look better." Kiera said and hugged Old Tanju.

"Kids, Kiji is not a bad person, I know it is hard to trust anyone right now but you can tell by their eyes if they are trustworthy." Old Tanju said.

Levin followed Kijima and saw her sitting on the sand beside the sea staring at the dark waves.

"I'm sorry about what happened." Levin sat beside her.

"It's fine, I'm used to it." Kijima shut Levin with her words.

"They..are not like how they are right now. I think it is just hard for them to trust someone again since after Koko's death, they want to protect each other." Levin explained.

"I understand, no need to explain. I just hope I helped you." Kijima said.

"You did, and I'm sorry for how we act before." Kiera appeared and sat beside Kijima.

"Me too, I'm sorry for thinking that you're the same witch we fight." Moga smiled awkwardly.

"From now on, you are one of the family Kiji." Hazeki pat Kijima's shoulder.

Kijima cried as she remembered how she was treated before she met the Ringleaders, especially on what happened when she was at the Pirate ship.

"Aww don't cry, Koko wouldn't like it." Kiera hugged Kiijima and points at the sky.

"From now on, you're officially a member of Ringleaders." Levin said.

All the members hugged Kijima and welcomed her not as a passing friend but as a Family.

__EARTH__

While Kiera is busy having her moment with other Ringleaders, the company of her Father is slowly dropping from it's position in the Cosmetic Industry. The CEO was gone so no one will take care of the Company. On the other hand, Kiera is still reported as missing in this world.

__DYSTOPIA__

While everyone are having fun with their dinner, a sudden energy appeared in the other side of the Island where the Jade Lake is near. In this energy, a person appeared looking like someone that could kill innocent people. Could he be another problem or a help for the Ringleaders?
