A few weeks have passed since the Tigrex hunt. Just outside of the village Zumo, Dakota, Rika and Touka were walking around in a small flower meadow.

"It's nice out today. Not too hot not too cold it's just right" Rika said looking at Dakota as she walked. Dakota nodded in agreement. Touka was running and rolling around in the flowers with Zumo enjoying them selfs.

"Now Touka, don't go too far ahead of us okay?" Dakota said walking beside Rika.

"Yes, Dakota I won't go too far ahead. Let's go Zumo" Touka said continuing to run around in the flowers with Zumo.

"Hey Dakota, can I talk to you about something?" Rika asked looking a little worried

"Yeah sure. Is something wrong?" Dakota asked now looking worried

"No nothing is wrong. I want to talk to you about Touka and Leno" Rika said as she stopped walking. Dakota stopped and listened.

"I know Touka and Leno are orphans and I know they can care for them selfs but I have been thinking about adopting them. Do you think I should Dakota?" Rika asked looking at Dakota.

"You can do what you think is the right thing to do. Even if you don't adopt them I'm pretty sure Touka would still admire you." Dakota said as he started walking again. Rika nodded and followed behind Dakota. After walking for a while they stopped and relaxed in a small grass area surrounded by flowers. Zumo and Dakota started talking as Rika started braiding Toukas long brown hair.

"Hey, Rika can I ask you something?" Touka asked as she held a flower in her hands

"Sure Touka go ahead," Rika said as she continued braiding

"Do you like Dakota?" (Touka)

"Yes I like him" (Rika)

"No, I mean like like him?" Touka asked as she looked at Rika.

"Oh....um I don't know," Rika said blushing a little as she continued braiding.

"Okay just wondering...I know you like him Rika" Touka said as she started giggling. Rika just smiled and finished braiding. After a while, Zumo left because he wanted to do some quests today. Rika was sitting next to Dakota while he is laying down on the grass. Touka walking throughout the flower meadow picking up flowers. Dakota looked at Rika seeing her eyes closed and her hair flowing in the wind. They stayed quiet as Dakota sat up continuing to look at her.

"Hey, Rika is something bothering you?" Dakota asked poking her on her side.

"huh?... Oh, it's nothing." Rika said looking into the wind.

"You know you can tell me right?" Dakota said looking at her.

"Yes, I know it just...I don't think you would understand." Rika said looking back at him

"Oh okay well if you change your mind just come talk to me," Dakota said laying back on the grass. Rika nodded and laid down next to him. After a while, Touka was laying down sleeping with flowers in her hair. Rika was also sleeping. Dakota was looking at the meadow as the girls were sleeping. Rika started dreaming,

"where am I?" Rika asked herself. she was seeing nothing but black. She tried rubbing her eyes a few times trying to see anything. She then looked at her hands and she saw Gore Magala Claws.

"What in the...." Rika was interrupted by a roar. She looked around trying to find the source of the roar. Her vision cleared up and she didn't know the area she was in. The area looked like a destroyed castle and she appeared to be in a small arena.

She heard footsteps and turned to face it sound. She saw a female hunter in Star Knight armor pulling out her Star Knight Sword and shield.

The hunter started backing up looking behind Rika. Rika looked behind her to see a Gore Magala standing behind her. Rika was not scared of it but she didn't know why. She looked back at the hunter and clenched her claw fist full of rage and pointed at the hunter as her one eye started glowing purple. The Gore Magala let out a roar and charged the hunter as Rika started walking slowly towards the hunter. The hunter was trying to battle the Magala not noticing Rika walking. The Gore Magala attacked with its back wing claw and pined the hunter down. Rika walked to the hunter that was still pinned to the ground. As she walked closer she reorganized the hunters face.

"T...Touka? " Rika asked disbelievingly. Touka looking a lot older used her sword to stab into the Gore Magals large claw causing it to let go of her. Feeling the same pain Rika held her hand in pain as it started to bleed. Rika then looked at Touka as she saw her running towards her. Touka then stabbed Rika in her stomach. Rika coughed up blood as Touka stood there with the sword inside Rika. Touka the let go of the sword as Rika stood the looking down at the sword inside her.

"T...Touka...why?" Rika asked slowly bleeding out.

" You never said goodbye to me," Touka said as she started walking away. Rika slowly fell to her knees and slowly started blacking out.

"I...I Don't....understand." Rikas said as she fell to the ground dead. Rika then woke up freaked out and started coughing.

"Rika you okay?" Dakota said noticing Rika wake up. Rika just looked at Touka sleeping as she held her stomach.

"Yes...I....I'm fine it was just a dream," Rika said still looking at Touka.

"oh okay....anyway, we should head back to the village it's getting late," Dakota said standing up and helping Rika up.

"I don't understand," Rika said to her self as she started waking up Touka.

"huh...what?." Touka said yawning

"let's go Touka it's getting late," Rika said poking her

"oh okay just five more minutes," Touka said falling back to sleep. Rika picked her up and carried her. As they were walking back to the village Rika just couldn't stop thinking about that dream.
