For there is always Help!

Gil tossed Arjun into the air and brought up his ship.

"Do not fear, my lovely Naeve, for you have been judged with fairness. Unfortunately for you, you have been unfair in this cruel world, just trying to do what is meant to be right, in the wrong manner. I am sorry Naeve, but your aging will soon start to end you. You have to start to think about yourself, Naeve. Nanami Sensei going to start missing you.", Gil calmly stated, as he placed her heart back into her chest again.

The ship was ready, and it flooded the entire bottom side of the centre where the cells were kept. "AHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHA", Gil laughed at the entire situation, as he was using the same power again to now escape from this so-called "rotten" place.

"So you can communicate fully with your master, can't you? At times I wish I also attained this power, but I am scared of how my master to react to me.", Arjun nervously laughed at the entire thing, while hugging the mast of the ship with all his might.

"GO forth my ship, for we have the death to take care of.", Gil raised his lance and was ready to face whoever came across on his way. He needed to travel a distance of seventeen kilometres to get out of the school zone and enter the wastelands so that he could get picked up by Radal and his airship.

Kars-Nas noticed this massive ship heading towards the security wall, and tried his best to get to it before someone else did… but was completely swept away by the sheer volume of sand that the ship was producing in its wake.

Completely crashing into the wall, breaching all sorts of security protocols and alerting everyone in the school that Gil was escaping, Arjun did his best to blind everyone with the light that he could produce. Effectively, he was trying to make the ship so bright that it would turn anyone against its effects. Even the servants of night gods could do anything when the light was shining bright. The absence of darkness, for void was scared of the ship.

"OI, what in the world are you guys doing?", a voice screamed from the sky. "I won't be able to help you if I can't land this thing."

"Ah, you're here, mister hunter.", Gil stated. "Open your door and I'll throw us up there."

"Wait what do you mean throw us? What are you going to –" Before Arjun could finish his statement, he was thrown into the oblivion of the sky and Radal quickly manoeuvred the ship to catch him.

"Gotcha mate, I don't know who you are, but welcome", he stated.

"I shall jump up now", Gil stated while reaching the top of his mast. He jumped off, giving off this cinematic view of the world that these characters all call home, and then onto the airship.

"Now my turn!", Radal stated while unleashing the bblood-redmoon's night onto the school.

A successful attempt at escaping. Everyone seems to be safe and neither Gil nor Arjun seems to have gotten any injuries from the battle.

On the ship, as usual, Radal sent it flying higher and higher across into the atmosphere.

"So, tell me, younglings. Why are there two of you right now on my ship… And the other one that was meant to be with you isn't the girl.", Radal questioned the two of them.

"He is my friend. Do not worry, you can trust him.", Gil came forward and protected Arjun.

"You know, I barely trust you. The only reason why I even came to collect you guys is because the person whose head has a bounty randomly comes up to me and wants me to collect him. Dang, I was so happy about it.", the Servant of Arawn replied.

"You know very well that is not why you have collected me. Even your master Arawn agrees with me. For some reason, there is a fine-tuned compatibility between you and me. It is almost as if we were much closer than we initially thought."

"Do not involve me in your love story kiddo. The only reason why I am compatible with most people who have had the petals is because I am a first-generation being. That also means that I am much older than you think I might be."

"That doesn't change the fact that you came all the way to rescue us. You think that we are, or at least I am something special."

"I will agree to that, for you and that girl are the only two people that I know from the third generation who seemed to have survived the impact of the petals, and the boost that it gave you, isn't that rush exhilarating?"

"That is true. What are you going to be doing about our bounties then?"

"I am taking you to collect my reward. I know that you will also be very interested in meeting this person. I am very sure of that."

"Who else is present in this wasteland of a place?"

"Wasteland? No, no no, my little one, where we are heading is a very special place known as the Utopian Paradise."

"We are travelling up? WHY ARE WE TRAVELLING UP??

"Because, as you can see, we are going to be travelling to a destination known as the Pin's Palace."

"I feel like I already know why your head was on the bounty Gil.", Arjun answered this time. "Pin's bounty wanted us to find someone that resembles the Pale Princess, that is none other than Sakurai herself. And Pin also wanted someone close to her."

"And therefore you chose me? Why was I chosen Radal?", Gil looked towards Radal.

"Simple. Sakurai seems to have a rotten fascination with you. After months of observing her again and again, I could not get over seeing her draw you again and again in her sketchbook. She was bad at drawing, but those features could only resemble someone like you. You are way too unique Gil. No wonder you are also a clever Don. Everyone looks up to you because you are so unique."

"And that's why you couldn't also bring her empty-handed?"

"I mean, yes. I am going empty-handed currently, ain't I? I am just going to collect half the reward and then we can just go about our day."

"So in the end I am just a means for you to get your shit done? Is that it Radal?"

"You are naïve. You believed everything that I stated when your master and my master were speaking. You have not even the slightest idea of the chaos that you have saved everyone."

Gil awakened his lance and his scales, slowly trickling in sand from his feet onto the craft.

"Easy now Gil, we do not want unnecessary fighting in the air.", Radal stated while licking his lips.

"I seemed to be too easy of a target for you then, isn't that correct?" Gil stated

"You think I am going to let Gil get away so easily? You forget, that I can fly as well. So Gil will be alive as long as I am there", Arjun stated from behind, taking an equal grounding as Gil.

Anubis: Enough games. I cannot believe that this is how this event is going to be playing out.

"Okay, okay. Let's everyone just… Let us all just calm down. There's a lot to be discussed. Do not worry, I am not just going to be giving you all well and alive. I will give you when you are downed.", Radal stated while there was a creature in the back that knocked out both Gil and Arjun with one fell swoop.

"Thanks, Gurr!", Radal thanked the small fluffy creature.

Restraining the two of them, Radal placed Gil onto his shoulders and headed towards Pin's Palace.

Upon reaching Pin's Palace, he was greeted by countless guards and forces keeping that part of the region safe.

"So, did you find her?", a rusty old voice asked.

"Nope, but I want half my reward since this is the guy that you wanted."

"I can't do anything if you can't get me my daughter."

"Your daughter is safe somewhere in this world. But you must also know that the thing that your daughter sacrificed. She's gone. She is not normal anymore."

"She is still my daughter. I will try and bring her back…"

"There's nothing you can do Pin. Give it up. Times are changing old pal."

"Get me my, daughter!"

"I cannot do that at the present, take the boy instead."

"The daughter was more important, not the boy."

"So that's why everyone called Sakurai a princess. It is truly because she is the daughter of Pin.", Gil thought, as he pretended to sleep trying to hear through the entire conversation.

The exchange between Radal and Pin went back and forth for quite some time when all of a sudden, there was a gun sling action that Gil heard.

And that was a gun being drawn indeed...

Curious, Gil opened his eyes slowly to see what was taking place….

Within three seconds, one could hear Gil's screams echo throughout the chamber with a singular sentence.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

The deed was done.
