episode 63 Hell of mirrors

3 mysteries have signed the paper sheet, only 4 are left to reach the conclusion of the truth, the team are planning at the chemistry lab for their next target to sign the sheet.

Keti: alright everyone, are you ready to go on another mystery adventure?

Fey: [yell, excited] …yeah!

Puri: so, what adventure are we going to have for today?

Keti: [point out] glad you asked, we're gonna go to a mystery that is even worse than "Shijima's" art room, we're going to the Hell of Mirrors, "Wreck" here is going to explain everything about the mystery.

Wreck: uhm, first off, I want to recall that this mystery likes to play around, unlike the real thing, to enter the Hell of Mirrors you need to have a conversation with your own reflection…in the toilet that is, once you're inside you need to finish up the trials that were provided by the mystery, it is a world in a tower full of dorms, just make sure you don't enter these doors at all cost, if there is one thing I would say about this mystery, I advise you to defeat the nemesis that hunts you, that would make it easier to finish up the trials.

Puri: [raise hand] and basically, how many trials are there?

Wreck: depending on how many the mystery gives you, last time it gave someone over hundred trials for some reason.

Seth: let's just hope our luck is fairly high and get to the mystery as smoothly as possible.

Keti: that's great, looks like this adventure would be tense and "Wreck" is going to be the big cheat, I don't think he would be allowed to enter the domain.

Wreck: I could force my way in there, but I doubt he would consider his contenders cheating.

Keti: since that's the case I guess this will be a girl's trip for today.

Seth: [surprised] but that would be-.

Wreck: [hold it] you can do it "Keti", we're counting on you, show them who's the bravest around here.

As suggested, "Keti", "Fey" and "Puri" will have to go to the Hell of Mirrors, they entered the girl's toilet and see "Hanako" sitting on one of the toilet doors.

Hanako: welcome, so we meet again, what brings you to this wonderous mystery today?

Keti: hi "Hanako", we're here to enter the Hell of Mirrors, if you don't mind.

Hanako: oh?! Getting ready for some unthinkable things?

Puri: are you sure "Hanako" is friendly?

Hanako: [get closer, scary face] …am I?

Keti: there's no time to joke around, "Puri", get yourself together.

Fey: so, to enter the Hell of Mirrors, you need to have a conversation with your reflection, but how do you talk to the other side when it keeps copying your every move?

Hanako: do you need help on this one? How about you try using your breath to communicate?

They tried the idea that "Hanako" provided, they used their breath to right on the mirror, they said 'Hi', the reflection replied 'Hi' in reverse, they tried saying 'can we enter?', the reflection responded with 'come closer', they showed a sign for joining in, as they reached to them the reflection dragged them into their world, there they start at the bottom floor of the tower, there enters the mystery "Mitsuba Sousuke".

Mitsuba: [excited] I can finally see some new comers that would be here for a while, it's good to see more contenders from the past 100s of years.

Puri: 100s of years? Was he waiting that long?

Fey: he looks energetic than I thought!

Mitsuba: so, what brings you to the Hell of Mirrors in these moments? I doubt you're explorers coming here without a good reason.

Keti: it's a pleasure to meet the mystery of Hell of Mirrors, we're here with a request that you sign this sheet of paper I'm holding.

Mitsuba: sounds reasonable enough, it seems you have shown me interest, if you want to fulfill this request, please meet me at the top, good luck you guys.

"Mitsuba" leaves while the team moves on to the trials, they see a giant mirror on top of the stairs.

Fey: what happens next? Will the trials begin?

Keti: the trials are within the mirrors, in order to move onto the other floor, we must complete the trial so that the mirror would break.

As they look closely at the mirror a message appears, it tells them what they must do in order for them to move on to the next floor, the first floor says 'succumb to your nightmares'.

Puri: what does that mean? Is there something we have to do to our nightmares?

Suddenly pale "Wreck" comes out of the mirror looking at "Keti", laughs out of nowhere confusing the 3 of them.

Keti: "Wreck"? why do you look so…ash white?

Pale wreck: [smirk] oh, don't mind me, you're just not intelligent enough to know everything.

Keti: [terrified] what the hell is going on!?

"Puri" suddenly screams as she sees her teacher come out the mirror.

Teacher: oh "Inaba", how are you today?

Puri: [terrified] not her, anything but her.

Keti: [shocked] I see now, you're not "Wreck", you're my archnemesis!

Pale wreck: good for you to notice, now… [death stare] you know what's going to happen next, right?

Pale "Wreck" fights "Keti", she struggles so much as he shows her no mercy.

Fey: hang in there, "Keti", you can do this.

Keti: [yell] why don't you focus on your own archnemesis!

Fey: alright, [look around] oh, I guess I don't have one.

Keti: [confused] what? You're joking, no one could just live long enough without a nightmare.

Fey: seems I beat you to it, should I break the mirror or am I supposed to wait till you beat yours?

"Fey" just waited for "Keti" to defeat Pale "Wreck".

Pale wreck: you know I'm better than you in many ways, and yet you still struggle to become the leader of this team, [death stare] "Grimm" should've given me the trial instead of a lacky like you, [grab shirt] it's fine though, just keep coming, fade away as you don't find the truth, you just won't be good enough even with that brain of yours, I never even taught you how to fight, yet you tell yourself?

"Keti" kicks pale "Wreck" then moves away.

Pale wreck: [smirk] aw, my disciple is having a grudge against me? is this why you're fighting?

Keti: …everything you've said was right, except for the last part, it's not about jealousy that I'm having, it's about just how much early everything is, all I had from you are the basics, just the basics, I'll figure out the rest on my own.

She began to get serious and fight pale "Wreck" with all her might, he falls down as she points her claws to his neck.

Keti: you're not even the real deal, "Wreck Veganson" haven't even fought back when we dueled, does that mean you're but a mimicry out of my mind?

Pale wreck: tch, figuring out all that by yourself, I helped you and you still think my recovery method is perverted? Give me a break.

"Puri" watches as pale "Wreck" is defeated, it crossed her mind that she could do the same, she blocked her teacher's attack and decided to look her in the eye.

Puri: how could I just runaway? My friends were counting on me to not be a burden, I spent a whole month training just to get to this point, I won't let them down…thank you for everything…teacher.

"Puri" finally defeated her own teacher, their archnemesis haven't faded away yet.

Keti: aren't you supposed to disappear when you're defeated?

Pale wreck: [laugh, insane] yeah right, defeat me and we're just gonna fight again, and again till you're out of breath, there will be no escape from this new loop that was made just for you.

Fey: oh dear.

"Fey" stood up from the stairs and tried to use her booster flames on the mirror, it shattered into piece making the archnemesis fade away.

Keti: [smirk] and you were saying?

Pale wreck: tch, cut the crap out, you're not the one who solved it.

The archnemesis vanished and the next floor is opened for them.

Keti: did you knew that the mirror is the key?

Fey: I wouldn't say knew; I just waited for you to win, thought those nightmares would disappear before I try my booster flame on it.

As they walk to the next floor there is a mirror maze.

Keti: alright, it seems we're gonna get lost if we ever entered without a plan, let's just hold hands till we pass through it.

They held hands then walked together into the mirror maze.

Keti: it's strange that you don't have an archnemesis, did you like defeated it before we could even see it? That came out wrong, even if you defeated it, it should still be there.

Fey: guess I never had an archnemesis to begin with.

Keti: most of the things about you frightens me, it's like you were born happily ever after.

Fey: nothing is better than an adventure in life or death, right?

Keti: even when you say that, you do act more half human like me, most of us humans when we look at something terrifying, we react, fear is part humanity that allows us to live long enough, but to look at the abyss and call it nothing?

Fey: are you saying I wasn't acting human? Bold of you to care how most of the things work in life or death, at least you should have a courage for it, right? Otherwise, why bother in living if you can't handle reality?

Keti: "Fey"

Puri: [yell] you guys…I think I can sense the mystery right now, it's straight ahead.

Fey: [excited] really?!

"Fey" let go of the team and went straight ahead without thinking.

Keti: [panic] wait, "Fey", don't go on your own, you gonna get lost, "Fey".

"Keti" and "Puri" rushed to find "Fey", one side after another in a mirror maze might get someone stuck in there forever, however "Fey" have returned and reunited with them again.

Keti: "Fey", you didn't go far, thought you were gonna get lost.

Fey: something's wrong, quick, come with me.

She dragged the team out of the mirror maze, there are 2 poles with a sign saying 'congratulations' and there is a table with a chair.

Keti: you already found the exit?

Fey: that's not it, look [point at the chair].

Keti: usually there should be someone sitting on that chair, where exactly is "Mitsuba", [yell] "Mitsuba", where are you?

Suddenly the god of death "Thanatos" appears floating in the air.

Puri: [on guard] you're not who we're looking for, what have you done with the mystery?

Thanatos: you want to find out? Come find me, you can play my game if you ever want that sheet of yours to be signed.

Keti: God of death!

Thanatos: you know me? how nostalgic…coming from a half human girl.

"Thanatos" exits the Hell of Mirrors and the obstacles around them turned into mirrors and breaks, now the team will be facing "Thanatos" in the upcoming event, will they succeed in making them all sign the sheet? Or will "Thanatos win?
