Waking up different

The battle was freezed with Ichiro standing in front to protect Phoebe that's unconscious and laying in Hideo's lap, also with Hideo crying silently.

Also Theo standing in front of Ichiro with his 2 teammates standing behind him, while the reaper user is sleeping and letting his reaper come out, currently standing between Theo and Ichiro

"Why isn't the announcer doing anything??" Enya whispers, clenching her fists. Her sight suddenly landed on Ichiro that's deadly staring at the reaper with his red eyes

Enya bites her lower lips while slowly calming down, she looks at her hands and says, "How can I ask the announcer to do anything and Ichiro is ready to do anything by himself?"

I feel desirous of what they have once again, asking if there's a thing I can do to help, asking if why did god didn't give me a potential and made me remain as a normal human.

"Enya" Ichiro called her causing her to flinch and smiles gently

"Help me can you? I can't do this alone" Ichiro asks with a small smile, Enya remained surprised and clenches her fists once again

"I will help you" she answers after giggling softly

"Theo-" Ichiro words was cut after Theo shouted and blocks his ears

"I will not do it..!" Theo shouted while trembling, Ichiro looks at him with disgust after Theo lost his cool and coldness just because of finding out his friend is a reaper user

"If you saw the future then you should know what will happen to the two of our teammates, you only got one that'll go berserk, yet you can't stop him?" Ichiro said with a smirk, flinching after voices in his head demanded to kill Theo instead

"You don't understand!-" Theo words were cut after Ichiro used his potential making him appear in front of Theo, holding his cheeks tight, feeling his body shaking while looking directly at his eyes

"Kneel down before me and I'll be the one to finish him off. I'll blow up his body and we'll be safe and continue our lives. Now kneel and beg, Theo" Ichiro said with their face being close

"H-Hideo!!" Enya shouted, Ichiro looks back seeing Hideo running towards the reaper while making so many swords at the same time

"Hideo!" Ichiro shouted and stops the time. Hideo was now tied up like Leoge

"Untie me!! I'm gonna kill that shit!! P-Phoebe is..Phoebe isn't breathing..I-I couldn't f-feel h-her heartbeat..Ichiro..." Hideo said while sobbing. Enya is also teary, putting her hand at Phoebe's chest and her fingers at Phoebe's pulse

"Stop, Enya!! She's not dead! She's transforming!" Ichiro shouted while all the animals entered the gym

"Stop them" Ichiro appeared behind Theo's two other teammates

"B-but they're animals!! We can be a criminal if we kill those!" The teammates complained, Ichiro pushed them forward with a deadly stare

"Not if you're dead" Ichiro said with all the animals stopped and a shadow was seen

"Useless brats" Ichiro said kicking them, Ichiro walks forward with his hands on his pockets. Ichiro looked up at the manticore or Phoebe, with Hideo or his alter ego, Zach, tapping his shoulder with a smirk

"Who is this eh? Can I kill it?" Zach said holding two swords

"That's the girl Hideo has crush on" Hideo coldly said while Zach already attacked the manticore

"This is troublesome" Ichiro said without being scared at the scythe that's on his neck and the reaper smirking behind him like it's his time to die
