(Rikami's POV)

Aw man... What happened?

I suddenly get a flashback of when we first got to Fyair.

Kaiyo... He fell... There was a guard behind him when it happened. After that...nothing. It's just black and empty.

I stand up and look around.

The others aren't here. We must have all been knocked out and then put in a different room or something... I have to find them.

As I walk, I look around the dimly lit hallway. Once I get to the end I see a huge room.

"Hello." A feminine voice says

Huh...?

I see a woman jump down from a higher platform of some sort and land right in front of me

"...Rikami..."

Who is this? She doesn't look familiar... Not even the slightest... How does she know me? Wait...she was the one...wasn't she...?

"You told your guards to capture us didn't you?" I ask

"Hehe..." She laughs

"W-what's so funny?"

"Your friends should be dead by now..." Her long white hair covers her face

My eyes widen in shock.

"You... You had them killed...?"

"I did. As we speak their cold lifeless bodies lay on the ground, slowly rotting away... She puts her mouth to his ear and whispers "The next one...is you."

I fall to my knees.

Are they really dead? They can't be... This... This can't be happening...not again.

Tears slowly fall from my eyes and onto the floor below me.

"Aw don't cry..." She attempts to wipe one of the tears away but a small bolt of lightning almost hits her and she jumps backward

I... I can't take this... This is the second time something like this has happened...

A nearly invisible forcefield appears but then it disappears. It's like the pattern of a flickering light. First it's on and then it's off, on again and off again.

"What's this...? Are you angry?" She says in a sarcastic tone

"...You must like this...don't you?" I stand up and my hair falls onto my face, partially covering my eyes "I guess history will have to repeat..."

"Rikami!"

That voice...

The forcefield activates and becomes stable. Everyone excluding the woman is surrounded by it.

I hear footsteps run towards me. I turn and see that it's my friends.

"I'm glad you're ok." Yurei says

"Y-yurei...everyone..." I say

More tears roll down my cheeks. I feel as if I cannot express my happiness using words.
