Present.

Part 2: Shinu De Nuevo.

Arc 8: Heart Shaped Prison.

(Annah and Samantha are sitting next to each other on a couch. When Annah just starts staring at Samantha.)

Samantha: What are you looking at? I know you're a Vampire and all now, but my blood isn't for sale, ask Kane or Able if they have some to give.

Annah: Aside from your body, you're practically the same version of Sam from my universe?

Samantha: Well, I guess so.

(Annah suddenly leans and kisses Samantha holding her down on the couch. Samantha pushes her off and wipes the lipstick off of her mouth.)

Samantha: What was that?!

Annah: I thought you'd like that...

Samantha: We're moving a bit fast here, I barely even know you!

(Kane walks into the room and sees Annah sitting on top of Samantha, his face turns red with embarrassment and he hangs his head.)

Kane: Umm... don't mean to intrude, but... Sam I kinda need to talk to you real quick.

Samantha: (Annah climbs off of her and she stands up.) Yeah, just... give me a minute, please.

(Samantha walks after Kane, following him into his bedroom. She closes the door behind her.)

Kane: (He looks out the window out to the streets of Paris.) How exactly did Kuragari destroy your Universe? He wasn't capable of that last time we met. Sure he could steal Elementas and cut through reality, but not destroy the entire Universe.

Samantha: It's because he hasn't mastered the Black Scythe at this point in time.

Kane: And when does he?

Samantha: I can't exactly say that, sort of one of the terms and conditions when you make a deal with Fate. There's a lot of things that happen from this point onward, but I can't talk about them, so let's focus on the Present. What's our plan for tomorrow?

Kane: The plan's going to be simple.

(The next day. The group is walking through the Paris Catacombs, using Lanterns to light up the abandoned catacombs.)

Kane: Everyone stick together, don't get lost. If you get lost, you can probably put one and one together.

Able: one and two, Kane, one and two.

Kane: Yeah, yeah. Same thing fundamentally.

(Eventually they reach the end of the catacombs and stand in front a wall of skulls and human bones, some with the rotting skin still on them.)

Louis: Kane you know what to do. Press on the skull with the single golden tooth.

Kane: (He looks around at each of the skulls to see which has the tooth.) Ah found it... (He reaches his hand to it, but notices the decayed skin on the top of the head and pulls his hand back, he hesitates to touch it.) I...

Louis: Just press it, Kane.

Kane: I... (He reaches his hand out to it and instantly pulls it back.) I can't, I just can't. Maybe if I... (He covers his hand with his shirt and reaches for the skull again, but yet again pulls it back.) No, just, no!!! I'm not touching that!!!

Louis: (He presses the skull down and the wall starts to open up like a door.) See?! Nothing bad happened!

(The door opens and it reveals the Underworld the city built underneath Paris, everyone who lives here are either monsters or outcasts who wish to live away from Humanity. The buildings are in decent shape, although some have already started to crumble away. There lies a sprawling market place in the middle of the city.)

Kane: Alright, everyone knows what to do.

Kenji: (He, Peter, and Gabriela are carrying bags over their shoulders.) Yeah, we'll set up the explosions and wait for your command.

(Kenji, Peter, and Gabriela walk into the city ahead of everyone else. The rest of the group follow behind them, they reach the market place. Carter walks up to a demon grilling some patties for a hamburger.)

Carter: Oh, I'm starving right now, give me one please!!!

The Demon: (He puts the patty on a bun.) That'll be...-

Carter: (He just puts a large sum of money on the counter.) Yeah just take it all! (He bites into the burger.) Hmmm, something tastes off.

Amelia: (She walks past Carter.) You're probably gonna want to spit that out.

Carter: Why?!

Amelia: Do you see any cows or chickens in here?

Carter: What's this meat made of?

The Demon: Bunyip meat!

Carter: (He drops the burger and throws up in his mouth.) I knew I should've eaten on the flight...

(Carter walks away from the burger. But when Dracula walks past it, he picks it up and starts eating it.)

Dracula: This is pretty good actually.

(Kane and Able start blending into the crowd.)

Able: (He is wearing the Bionic Arm for the upcoming fight.) Are you sure this plan is going to work, Kane?

Kane: I'm positive.

Able: What if he doesn't even come here today? What if we're just playing into his trap? There's too many parts to this plan that can go wrong.

Kane: Since when were you so negative about something.

Able: I'm not being negative, I'm just saying that this isn't one of those Disney movies where everything always goes right for the heroes, this is the real world.

Kane: (He leans against a pole.) Yeah, you're right it isn't... it's an 80s action movie.

Able: Kane!!!

Kane: I'm just semi-sorta serious with you.

(Meanwhile on the roof of an abandoned 4 floor building. Peter is hooking a wire connected to an explosive at the base of the building up to a switch.)

Kenji: (He is the standing on the roof the building opposite of him.) *Shouting* Hey!!! Did you hook it up right?!!!

Peter: Stop shouting and yeah I did!!!

Kenji: Good!!! (He sits down and leans against the stone guard rail.) Now we just wait for the signal from Kane.

(Three hours later.)

(The group are scattered through the city. Kenji, Peter, and Gabriela are still waiting on the rooftops, Gabriela has fallen asleep. Kane, Annah, Able, Louis, Dracula, and Belial are blending into the crowd with everyone else. Samantha and Amelia are standing on the rooftops around the marketplace. Down the street from Kenji's ambush point inside a building next to a window sits Carter and Levente with a sniper rifle loaded with Reaper Killing Bullets. All of them bored out of their minds.)

Louis: (He looks at Able who is leaning in chair reading a Hentai manga.) How do you even have that? You weren't carrying anything on you when we got here!

Able: (His face is digged into the manga.) I have my ways, Louis, (He starts coughing but he covers it underneath his shirt.) I have my ways.

Louis: You alright?

Able: I'm fine.

Louis: That didn't sound fine.

Able: There was just something in my throat, it's out now.

Annah: (She has a cowl thrown over her head.) I'm worried, Kane.

Kane: About what?

Annah: About more people getting hurt, this is a dangerous plan. And so I'm worried.

Kane: You don't have to be, Annah. Everyone's going to be safe, alright. This plan is gonna work and once we're done here, we'll go on a vacation right here in Paris and leave all our worries behind.

Annah: (A smile grows on her face.) I can't wait for that.

Belial: So why do you want to kill Kuragari?

Dracula: Let's just say he punched me into the sun when attained Infinity itself, I died billions upon billions of times, I would regenerate and come back only to be instantly burnt up by the power of the sun.

Belial: Wait you attained Infinity itself?

Dracula: Yes...

Belial: Why didn't you just... teleport out of the sun? You were literally the most powerful being in existence... and you wasted it.

Dracula: (Realization strikes him.) Uh... I didn't think of that.

Belial: (He just facepalms and starts laughing.) Oh... fucking idiot.

Dracula: Remind me to hit you over the head when we're done here.

(Suddenly the gate to the Underworld and none other than Kuragari steps through with Esperanza and Tomogui following behind him.)

Levente: (He notices Esperanza walking with Kuragari and gets agitated.) Esperanza! (He stands up and starts to walk away.) I gotta-...!

Carter: Wait!!! If you try to fight Kuragari now, you're just going to get killed. Stand down, we'll save your sister, I promise.

Levente: (He sits back down next to Carter.) Fine...

(Kuragari walks through the market oblivious to the trap he's about to fall into.)

Kuragari: (He walks up to a man selling bread and very expensive baked goods.) How much will it be for your table?

The man: Like the stuff on the table or...?

Kuragari: (He takes the tablecloth and wraps the goods inside it, he puts the cloth on the man's lap and drags the table behind.) Nevermind, I'll pay you later. (He drags the table to the middle of the marketplace and stands on top of it.) *Clears Throat* Ladies and gentlemen!!! Monsters of the Underworld!!! Look at me, at your savior, your hero! The world tell me; how does it see you? (He points to a random Lamia among the crowd.) Miss how do they see you?

Lamia: They... they see me as a monster!

Kuragari: Exactly, monsters, or "Demi-humans." What does Humanity not realize?! You're humans just as them! But no, they toss you away. Make you live under here, inside this shithole! The same goes for the Reapers, they hunt you and murder you relentlessly. All for "The Glory of Humanity." Join me! Join the Edorains (Ed-or-eye-ins) we live to be equal!!! Free from Humanity!!! You will no longer have to live as slaves, but as humans!!! (He raises his fist into the sky.) Those who stand with me, raise your fist and shout at the top of your lungs!!! Shout, "Edoraia!!!" Shout for the glory of our new Peaceful world!!! EDORAIAAAA!!!

(The crowd raises their fists into their and shouts Edoraia along with Kuragari. Kane steps through the crowd towards Kuragari.)

Kane: I have an objection!!!

Kuragari: People, make way for the false speaker.

Kane: (The crowd around move so that he stands in the center of Kuragari's view.) Like I said, I have an objection and a question.

Kuragari: Take off the cowl, Kane. You're not hiding anything.

Kane: (He takes off the cowl and stares directly at Kuragari.) My objection being, what about those in Humanity who were sympathetic to monsters and what your massacre of the Vampire race, Dark Reaper?

Kuragari: *Slight chuckle.* Those who were sympathetic or even those who have relationships with monsters will be spared in my new world. As for the vampires; they were a pain in my ass, like you are right now, Kane!!!

Kane: Ha... you always have a way of pissing people off, Sam. Unfortunately you're about to be bit by a fallen spider!!!

(Amelia drops down from the building and cuts off Kuragari's right arm and left arm blood spouting everywhere. Samantha follows this by dropping down and aiming for Kuragari's head, but the Black Scythe blocks her attack and sends her flying. Kuragari uses Short Burst Magica Flight to get away from them.)

Kane: (Louis, Able, Dracula, and Belial rush to him.) Don't give him time to recover, you know where to get him!!!

(They all chase after Kuragari through the streets of the Underworld. Louis throws his Scythe at Kuragari, it lands straight in his back, Louis starts summoning it back, it starts cutting his back open as it drags to get back to Louis' hand. The blood starts pouring from Kuragari as it breaks free. He uses Kane's Elementa Fear Smoke to make them lose sight of him, but Able notices him fleeing into the nearby building, he follows behind him. He runs through the building and finds Kuragari taking cover behind a couch in front of a window.)

Able: Sam, give up, your outnumbered and outsmarted! There's no way out that leaves you alive!

Kuragari: Yeah, there is. In fact there are fifty different choices, but I think I'm feeling number seven right now!!!

(Kuragari sets the entire room ablaze using Grimm Fire and jumps out the window, where he is cornered by Dracula who lunges at him with a sword.)

Dracula: (Kuragari blocks his attack by summoning the Black Scythe in front of him.) Long time, no see, old frie-...

Kuragari: NOT IN THE MOOD, DRACULA!!! (He cuts open Dracula's stomach using the Scythe and kicks him away. He uses Dracula as a launch pad and flies faster through the city.) Shit!!! I can't continue on like this!!! I have to get my bearings and think of something!!!

(Samantha attacks Kuragari from one of the alleys that he flies past, she catches him off guard and manages to cut off both of his legs in one smooth. Belial comes in from behind and plunges his sword into Kuragari's back, he grinds Kuragari against the wall before throwing Kuragari towards the buildings that are rigged to explode. Carter notices Kuragari flying towards the buildings, he takes a deep breath, time almost feels as if it slows down for him. He pulls the trigger and manages to land a perfect headshot on Kuragari with a Reaper Killing Bullet, the bullet starts burning his forehead to ashes as if it was set on fire.)

Kane: (He is standing in front of both the buildings.) NOW!!! END IT!!!

(Peter, Gabriela, and Kenji all flip the switches and fly off of the buildings just as the explosions happen at the base of them.)

Kuragari: (He watches as the buildings start to drop on top of him.) *Sigh* Kane... you're one clever son of a bitch.

(The buildings crush Kuragari underneath them. Everyone just looks on for a couple of minutes in silence as nothing emerges from the rubble.)

Kane: It worked... (He falls on his knees and stars laughing.) IT WORKED hahahaha!!! It actually worked!!! (That laughter soon turns into tears as he falls to the floor.) Sam... Sam, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry!!! I never knew it would come to this... I am sorry...

(Able sits down next to Kane to comfort him, as does Annah.)

Esperanza: (She walks over to crumbled buildings, dragging an unconscious Tomogui along with her. She holds onto her head.) Hey, is anyone there?!

Levente: (He runs out of the building and towards her.) Esperanza. (He hugs her tightly.) You're safe now!!!

Esperanza: What did I miss?

Levente: (He holds back his tears.) I'll explain everything to you on the plane!

(Belial and Dracula walk over to the rubble and start digging up Kuragari. They find him underneath it lying dead still his eyes still open.)

Kenji: Is he dead for sure?!

Dracula: (He closes Kuragari's eyes.) Yes, he's dead!!!

Belial: (He digs around Kuragari and finds that his arms have grown back.) Wait a minute! His arms...!

(Kuragari's eyes jump open again and he stares dead on at Dracula, he grabs hold of Dracula's left leg, jumps on his feet and with one smooth motion hits Belial over the head using Dracula. He throws Dracula on floor and steps on the back of his head smashing it clean open and kicking him towards Kane, Able, and Annah.)

Kuragari: (He sets the entire area around and behind him on fire using Grimm Fire, he walks through the fire towards shocked Kane, Able, and Annah.) Haha... ahahahah you got me good, Kane. Really good...

Kane: (He stands up and slowly walks towards, tears falling down his cheeks. He starts helpless punching Kuragari's in the chest, Kuragari just stands there with a sorrowful look on his face.) Why!!! *Punch* Won't!!! *Punch* You Just!!! *Punch* STAY DEAD!!! (He rests his head on Kuragari's chest.) Just leave us alone...

Kuragari: (He moves Kane onto his knees and walks away from him.) Tomogui. (He catches Tomogui in his arms as she falls towards him.) Let's go home.

(Kuragari turns his head back at Annah one final time, he wipes off his tear, and walks away from everyone carrying Tomogui in his arms. Leaving Kane and everyone in tears in front of the fire as he walks through it.)

(End of Chapter 66.)
