“You really expect this to end happily, Ryoji?”

Settan stares you down, that twisted smile on his face. He's trying to intimidate you, but you aren't going to give him the satisfaction of cracking under the pressure.

“Yeah, I was kinda hoping on it,” you smirk defiantly, crossing your arms. “So, what's the deal with your little bubble? Too afraid to take us all on?”

Settan laughs and shakes his head. “Of course not, Ryoji! I would think you'd be happy to know that your friends aren't involved in this battle. This way, you won't have to see your friends die.”

“How generous of you,” you roll your eyes. “Gotta say I'm happy, though. This way, my friends get to relax, sit back and watch as I kick your ass!”

Settan tuts. “Ryoji, always so quick to rush to violence? It seems it's the only language you know. I just want to help you unlock your full potential.” Settan lets out an exasperated sigh. “Oh well... if lowering myself to your level is what it takes to bring out The Stranger....”

You lunge at Settan, planning to knock some teeth out with your gauntlet, but he quickly dodges to the side and gets behind you. He raises his finger, and a beam of energy pierces through your shoulder. He feel an intense burning and yell out in pain, dropping to a knee.

“Oh look, now you and Saki match! What a cute couple!” Settan laughs.

Saki bangs furiously against the shield with her good hand. “Leave him alone, you monster!” she cries out.

Settan gives a devilish giggle, as he grabs you by the scruff of the neck and raises you up, holding you up towards the edge of the bubble, directly in front of Saki's face. “What's the matter, Saki? Don't you want to give your boyfriend a kiss?”

“You bastard...” Saki growls in anger. “Ryoji...”

He leans your face closer to the shield's edge, simulating you going in for kiss on Saki, before tossing you back and into the air. While you're still in mid-air, Settan points at you again, this time piercing through your other shoulder, and both your knees, before you collapse into a heap on the ground. With a smile, Settan blows on his index finger as if it were the barrel of a gun. He's taking a sick, perverse pleasure in doing this.

You try to rise to your feet, but with your joints messed up by Settan, you can barely bring yourself to move.

“You piece of shit...” you mutter angrily.

“Oh, don't be so angry Ryoji! After all, you can heal those wounds right up! Of course... you'd be healing a lot faster if you would just feed The Stranger... if you fed him you might not even be hurt in the first place!”

“Go to hell,” you fire back, before Settan kicks you in the midsection.

“That's a silly thing to say,” Settan smirks. “Haven't you noticed where we are lately?”

“I'll kill you!” Rei screams. “Let me in there! I'm tear you apart!”

“Come on, Ryoji!” Ken shouts words of encouragement. “You can't let this creep win!”

“I'd appreciate it if you all stopped the running commentary,” Settan remarks. “This is between myself and The Stranger.”

“You know Settan, this is real pathetic of you,” you mutter.

“Pathetic?” Settan asks. “I'm not the one lying on the floor in a bloody mess, refusing to accept his true calling!”

“No, you're just the guy who thinks he's a big-shot because he can beat up a depowered kid in a fight,” you laugh. “Come on, this is pathetic. You think you're tough. You think this is some great achievement? Taking on the weakest guy here?”

“You're the strongest one here!” Settan protests. “You're a mighty Archdemon! You're a god! You're The-”

“I'm not The Stranger,” you explain, as your wounds heal just enough that you can return to your feet. “I'm Ryoji Shida, Master Delinquent... that's who you're dealing with. Not The Stranger. Not some all-powerful god... just me. Ryoji. And let me fill you in on a little secret, Settan... Ryoji Shida is kind of a package deal. You get me, and I come included with a whole bunch of friends.”

“Yeah, we've got your back, Ryoji!” Rini pumps her fist excitedly.

You spit out a glob of blood as you face Settan. “So... you're not just fighting me here. You're fighting all of us. Now, stop acting like a coward and let my friends inside.”

Settan places a finger to his chin, in thought. “You make an excellent point, Ryoji. You know what? You're right. I'm going to let all of your friends in on this battle!”

What? Really? Damn, you didn't know that would work. Maybe Settan is beginning to lose some of that composure of his, maybe he isn't as confident as he's letting on.

Settan snaps his fingers, but the shield doesn't drop. Instead, you see Isamu being pulled by an invisible force into the bubble. The others outside begin to panic and bang on the shield, but they are unable to make their way through.

“Oops, did I say ALL?” Settan laughs. “Apologies... slip of the tongue. I meant to say ONE. But anyway, I'm sure this one will be enough, wouldn't it?”

Dammit, not Isamu! He's the weakest kid in class other than yourself, and he's impulsive enough to fight Settan even with no chance of winning. This is bad.

“Isamu!” you exclaim, grabbing his attention as he picks himself off the ground. “You have to get out of here!”

“He can't!” Settan laughs as he turns towards you. “Nobody can step in or out unless I allow them. Isn't magic amazing? You could have this kind of power too, Ryoji! If only you could swallow that stubborn pride of yours and-”

You watch as a red-tipped spear pierces it's way through Settan's left shoulder from behind. He goes wide-eyed in shock and anger, before calmly turning his head to look behind him, revealing a confident Isamu holding onto the other end of the spear.

“Excuse me?” Settan asks, clutching the shaft of the spear and slowly dislodging it from his body. “Just... what exactly do you think you're doing?”

“I'M SLAYING YOU, FOUL DEMON!” Isamu exclaims in his usual boisterous tone.

“No... you're not,” Settan remarks, visibly upset as he punches Isamu, sending him careening across the fighting area.

Settan lets out a sigh as he rubs his shoulder before returning his attention to you. “Now, where was I? Oh yes, why you should feed The Stranger! You see, Ryoji... if you don't feed your Archdemon, I will kill every last one of these children before your very eyes? Is that what you want, Ryoji? To see your loved ones suffer? To see them perish? Because that's what I'm prepared to do. Anything... as long at it makes you see the light-GAH!”

He winces in pain as a red-tipped spear once again slashes through his side. A bruised and gasping Isamu stands in dynamic pose before you. Settan's single punch did so much damage, you're amazed Isamu is still standing.

A frustrated Settan shakes his head. “You idiot! Why are you getting involved?”

“I'M NO IDIOT!” Isamu booms with confidence, placing his fist to his heart. “MY NAME IS ISAMU IORI, AND I AM THE WORLD'S GREATEST HERO! YOU'LL NEVER HARM MY GOOD FRIEND RYOJI SHIDA! NOT AS LONG AS I STILL DRAW BREATH!”

“That can be arranged,” Settan smirks as he raises his finger, pointing it towards Isamu.

Isamu stands defiant, prepared to take a blast you know he won't be able to survive. Damn him and his heroism...

>Tackle Settan while he's distracted.

No, you can't let this happen. You can't let Isamu get himself killed trying to help you. That's not what's going to happen today. Everybody is going to make it out of this fine, and you're going to use up every last ounce of energy in your body to make sure that's the case.

Barely able to move, you launch your dead weight at Settan, taking him off his feet while he's distracted. You raise your fist and bring it down, but he moves his head to the side as your gauntlet cracks the earth beneath.

“Pretty sneaky of you, Ryoji!” Settan laughs. “But the time for games is over.”

Raising his hand up to chest level, Settan drives his palm into your ribs, launching you off him as her calmly picks himself of the ground. “I don't have time for fools like-GAH!”

Settan finds a spear being driven through the back of his knee by Isamu, who is remarkably still standing. “How do you keep doing this?!” Settan exclaims, before launching Isamu back with the palm of his hand. Settan pulls the spear from his leg and tosses it aside, before striding towards the downed Isamu. “I have no time for this foolishness,” Settan mutters, as he raises his finger once more. To his surprise, Isamu moves swiftly, rolling under Settan's leg and sprinting for his spear.

Isamu grabs it and holds it at the ready in a dynamic pose. “YOU CAN'T ESCAPE YOUR FATE, VILLAIN! I AM THE GREAT ISAMU IORI AND I-!”

Before he can finish, he is hit square in the chest by one of Settan's beams, causing him to fall back in a lifeless heap on the floor. Akemi gasps in horror, and many of the others look away.

“His clowning around was getting very tiring,” Settam smiles. “But at least he's dead now.”

“ISAMU!” You cry out in anger, before launching yourself at Settan. You take him to the ground, as smash your fist into his face. You grab him by the face and continuously smash the back of his head into the earth below. “YOU MONSTER!”

“Good, there's some of that anger I've been looking for,” Settan laughs through your violent assault. “You know, you could be doing some serious damage to me if you just fed your demon.”

“Never!” you yell out in anger, as you continue to rain punches down upon him.

“A shame...” Settan sighs as he shifts the balance of power once more, launching you back with his fist. “I really thought killing your friend would do it. Perhaps I should move on to another-GAH!”

Once again, a red-tipped spear find it's way through Settan's flesh, this time piercing straight through his chest from a vertical angle, as a bloody, bruised, beaten... yet determined Isamu stands at the other end of the weapon.

“How are you still alive?!” An infuriated Settan cries out. “You should be dead!”

“F-foolish villain...” Isamu weakly gasps. “Y-you can't kill one who has the heart of a hero! I fight for my friends, and I will continue to fight until I breathe my last! I will keep fighting against evil, not because I'm the strongest, not because I'm the smartest... but because I will it! MY NAME IS ISAMU IORI, AND I AM THE WORLD'S GREATEST HERO!”

Isamus drives the spear further into Settan as the Archdemon winces in pain. “That's it! I've had enough!”

Settan draws his sword and uses it to break the shaft of Isamu's spear in twain. Settan snaps his fingers, as Isamu finds himself being launches to the outside of the bubble, where Hiro is able to tend to his wounds.

Settan shakes his head as the pulls the broken spear from his chest and tosses it aside. “Now it's just me and you again, Ryoji.”

“Embarrassed?” Settan laughs. “You wound me, Ryoji. In what way am I embarrassed?”

“Well, for one you got your ass handed to you by the weakest member of class...” you answer, “And in the end, you couldn't even kill him! You just threw a hissy fit and kicked him out of your safe little bubble! I thought you were supposed to become and all-powerful Demon God when you feed your Archdemon! Is this what you're trying to sell me? Getting embarrassed by Isamu?” You laugh. “If that's the best you can do, then this is just hilarious!”

“You know, Ryoji... you're right,” Settan remarks.

“What do you mean?”

Settan shrugs. “You've pointed out a massive flaw in my methods! I absolutely have not been taking this seriously enough! I must admit I've been a little bit of a hypocrite!”

You shake your head. Hypocrite is the least of the insults you'd hurl towards this guy. He's a monster, pure and simple. “And how exactly are you a hypocrite?” you ask.

Settan let's out a small laugh. “You see, Ryoji... I myself have been a little hesitant to give myself fully over to the Archdemon. After all, I'm still talking to you as myself. I think it's time to kick it up a notch, give myself over fully as a vessel...”

Oh no... you may have just pushed him over the edge.

Settan rises from his feet, floating in the air, as swirls of light whiz around him. Next thing you know, a pair of white, feathery wings begin to sprout from his back as he cackles. “Say goodbye to Settan, Ryoji! And let The Stranger say hello... to The Crone!”

Settan's eyes glaze over as the wings are fully sprouted, and he stands on the ground before you. The energy radiating off of him... it's intense. The holes pierced through his body by the spear close up, as he outstretches his arms, his voice giving off a distorted tone as he speaks. “Ah... that's better. Now it's time to play a game, Stranger! You believe that I can't kill any of these children, do you? Well, let's see about that. I will allow 3... and only 3, of these fierce combatants inside, and they will attempt to slay me... and then I will kill them. And here's the best part, Stranger... your vessel gets to choose who will fall to this blade!”

Without giving an answer, you grab the tip of Isamu's spear and lunge at The Crone. He grabs the spearhead his hands, as a faint glow emanates from his palm, causing the spearhead to dissolve into thin air. The Crone pushes you back, and wags his finger. “How hasty, I can see why you were such a nuisance for my vessel! Make your decision!”

“Screw-”

“-And don't give me the 'Screw you I refuse' routine! Make a choice, or I kill them all.”

“Send me in, Ryoji!” Rei cracks her knuckles. “I can take this loser, no problem!”

“Ryoji, those of us from Class 3 are the only ones who stand a chance,” Maro states. “Send three of us in. Myself, Kamiko, Lilo, Shinji, Taka, Yasutake... any of us. We're the best option.”

“No, I need to get in there!” Saki exclaims. “I need to help Ryoji!”

“You've made your choice,” The Crone laughs. “These are the friends you wish to see die!”

“No, these are the friends who are going to kick your pathetic ass!” you exclaim.

“If you say so,” The Crone smirks as he snaps his fingers, pulling Maro, Taka and Shinji into the bubble with you.

“You're making the right choice,” Maro states, placing a hand on your shoulder and readying his pistol. “We're going to defeat this monster.”

“You're damn right!” Taka exclaims, pumping his fist as he readies his Greatsword. “I ain't going to let some demon run around and do whatever it likes!”

Shinji quietly readies his sword, staring down The Crone.

“Oooh, what tough, brave young men!” The Crone laughs. “Being sent to their deaths like this... it reminds me so much of the wars!”

“Are you done talking?” Taka booms, “Cause I'm ready to kick your ass right about now!”

“So be it,” The Crone sighs. “Let's have ourselves a battle, shall we?”

The three men from Class 3 charge towards The Crone with full force, and it becomes clear that all three of them are barely a challenge to the Archdemon. The Crone continues to parry and push back Shinji and Taka with it's Sword in one hand, while blasting it's finger beams at Maro with the other. Maro struggle to dodge each beam while firing back with a few rounds from his gun, but the wings have granted The Crone the needed manoeuvrability to dodge the bullets, as it floats through the air in all directions. You fire a few shots off from your gauntlet for good measure, but it proves no use. The Crone isn't even breaking a sweat.

Eventually, the group try to outsmart The Crone. As Taka continues the frontal assault, Shinji manoeuvres his way behind the Archdemon, lunging forward and attempting to slice one of the wings. The Crone falls back in mid-air, putting it into position to kick Shinji in the gut as he lunges forward, sending him careening to the floor. Taka loses his balance as the sword swipe misses, and The Crone slashes his back, causing him to fall forward. As he does, Maro gets momentarily distracted watching his allies get hurt, and catches a beam through the knee, causing him to fall over in pain.

“It's no use...” Maro mutters. “We can't beat it.”

>You don't have to! Just focus on distracting it while I come up with a plan!

Maro nods. "You've got it, Ryoji. I trust you to come up with something."

Maro picks himself up and begins to fire rapidly upon The Crone. Nothing with intent to to maim his opponent, but instead focus all his attention on keeping The Crone busy. Shinji picks up on what Maro is doing and does the same, slicing at The Crone with the intent on keeping the Archdemon moving and dodging, giving it little change to switch to the offensive. It ducks and glides away from the swipes and bullets, finding very little time to actually mount an attack of its own. The three guys from Class 3 are giving it their all, pushing themselves as much as they can in order to buy this time for you to come up with a plan, any kind of strategy that can help take town this monster for good. Of course, there is one plan that springs to mind, but you're hesitant to put it into action... at the end of the day, feeding that thing may be what it takes to taking down The Crone... but you have no idea if you'll be able to control the demon afterwards.

"Sayeka!" you exclaim, making your way to her as she stands on the other side of the bubble. "Use you power. Try to come up with any strategy that will work! Examine which ones don't."

Sayeka nods and closes her eyes, focusing. "Okay... no, that won't work... if you try that you'll all die... that ends in death too... so does that... death... death..."

"Death?" Alice asks, fearfully. "I... I don't want them to die!"

Sayeka's empty white eyes spring open. “As a matter of fact, Ryoji... you don't need to come up with a strategy for this one.”

“What are you talking about?” you ask.

“Ryoji... you're not the only other Archdemon here.”

With a swing of his wings, the creature that was once Settan sends Maro, Taka and Shinji slying back. “Pathetic!” he yells. “There is no simple mortal that can stop me! I need a challenge! I need another Archdemon!”

“I can do that!”

You turn your head to face Alice, who is laying her hands upon The Crone's shield. With a push of her hands... she makes her way through.

“What? How are you...?” The Crone asks.

“It's actually pretty easy, when you know how!” Alice laughs.

“Alice, what are you going to do?” You ask. “He'll kill you!”

“No, he won't!” Alice cheerfully laughs. “And I'm not Alice. Right now... I'm The Dreamer.”

Energy begins to swirl around Alice, just as it did Settan earlier. You stare wide-eyed in shock and horror. “Alice, what are you doing? You can't give yourself over to-”

“-It's okay, Ryoji the Stranger!” Alice smiles, as her feet begin to float from the ground. “I have control.”

“Now, this is interesting!” The Crone laughs. “Finally someone who isn't afraid to let their power out!”

Alice lets out a childish belly laugh. “Oh, silly old man! I haven't even started to show my power yet!”

“What the hell is going on?!” Taka exclaims. “Is the little blonde kid actually going to fight that thing?”

“No,” Alice answers. “I'm not going to fight it. I'm going to kill it.”

The Crone smiles as it charges towards Alice, excited for a real fight. Alice smiles as she claps her hands together, letting out a wave of pressure which sends The Crone flying back. The pressure is almost enough to send you flying, and you're standing behind Alice.

“Where... were you hiding this power the whole time?” you ask.

“I.... I think so,” Alice answers. “I've never done this before, but... I don't want to see anyone die!”

Alice taps on the inner wall of the bubble shield, as the whole thing crumbles away in a matter of seconds. The rest of the group draw their weapons, but it's pretty clear there's only one real threat to The Crone right now.

“Impressive power,” The Crone laughs. “See Stranger? This is what you are capable of! Awaken your power!”

Annoyed Alice leaps through the air, landing crouched directly in front of The Crone. “Don't ignore me!” she exclaims as she drives her fist upwards, upper-cutting The Crone with such force that he is sent launching into the sky above, to the point where he becomes a speck in your field of vision.

“How rude!” Alice pouts as she dusts off her hands.

“Aunt Alice...?” Chihiro mumbles in shock. “H-how...? When did you get so...”

Alice... or rather, The Dreamer, smiles at her niece, before turning to you. “Permission to fight the bad guy?”

Ryoji has contributed before with tactics and careful usage of his power, but there is a point where tactics stop helping unless you're the Batman and have bullshit preptime powers.
This is the point, this guy is literally a boss fight, you can't expect to make an asspull to just say "oh no you defeat him without powers".
I do expect Ryoji to help, but I don't see him winning on his own without any fucking powers.

That's how it is, there's nothing unfair about it.

I mean, not gonna lie, The Dreamer seems to be on our side more than anything, maybe it didn't like the other archdemons and went with alice to create another darkworld as some kind of escape? Might have been an unknown ally more than we thought. We always seemed more like a grim source of entertainment to it than some stepping stone to a goal of 'joining' with our world or whatever the cult said the archdemons wanted

>Permission granted.

Alice smiles and nods and she begins to stretch her arms out. “Okay... it's been a while since I've done this...”

She places out her hand with the palm facing out, as she focuses her attention on the spot directly in front of her. The air in front of her begins to form in a pile of black goo, the goo slowly taking the shape of a humanoid like figure. The figure proceeds to form a mask with rabbit ears poking out from it, and a samurai sword in hand.

Alice smiles proudly as the creature takes shapes, and with a gentle blow, she literally breaths life into the being. It stands at the ready, as Alice points to the sky above. “See that man up there?” she asks the guardian. “Off with his head.”

The creature nods, crouching down before springing into the air with a powerful rabbit-like leap, it's sword at the ready.

“So you were just able to create that?” you ask, confused.

Alice places a finger to her lips, as he other finger follows the two whirring and fighting dots in the sky. “Shh... I'm trying to concentrate!”

“Amazing...” Saki mumbles, as she looks on at Alice. “I didn't know she was capable of... but... does this mean that this isn't Alice? This is The Dreamer, right? An Archdemon? Does this mean that Alice is...”

“Don't say it!” Chihiro exclaims. “Don't you dare say it! My aunt is still alive in there!”

“You're right, Chihiro...” Sayeka mutters, turning everyone's attention towards her. “Alice is still alive. In fact, she hasn't even been taken over by The Archdemon... not fully, at least. It seems that during this time the two have come to an understanding with each-other. Alice has the power she needs to take the fight to The Crone... and she is giving him as real challenge... but she will not win this battle.”

“What?” you ask. “What do you mean?”

“Alice is showing off,” Sayeka states. “She's using the height of her abilities very early on. She's going to tire out before she can put The Crone away.”

“So, we're still going to need a plan to fall back on....” you mutter. “If she can't beat him right now, she can at least hold him off long enough for us to come up with something more concrete.”

“Any ideas, Ryoji?” Saki asks. “Because I have to be honest... I don't have anything right now.”

“Do you really think we can do anything to him?” Ken asks. “Let's face it, the rest of us are like flies to him...”

“But flies are still a presence, aren't they?” you asks. “Flies are a nuisance, a distraction. A fly buzzes past your ear, it breaks your focus, doesn't it?”

Saki nods. “Ryoji's right. If we really want Alice to be able to defeat him, we'll have to be those flies, to call his attention away while Alice can land the vital blows.”

As Saki says that, the rabbit guardian comes crashing down into the floor , cracking the earth beside you. It sits up, before eating a beam through the face and melting into goo. That didn't last long.

“Sending a mere bunny rabbit?” The Crone asks, floating back down to the mountain's peak. “How disappointing of how, Dreamer. I expected you to fight me yourself.”

“Just letting you warm up a little!” Alice laughs. “It wouldn't be fair otherwise!”

The Crone readies his sword, as Alice forms as Giant Axe in her hand, as the two charge at each-other. As they do, you launch a shot from your gauntlet, the firework exploding in the side of The Crone's face. It clearly doesn't do any damage, but The Crone does turn his head to look at you, giving Alice the chance she needed to swing the axe at one of The Crone's wings. A piece of the wing comes flying of as The Crone yells out in pain.

The Crone spins around, before lunging at Alice once more. This time, Raiden fires a few shots at the face of the former Settan, which causes him to become distracted once more. Alice pulls the same trick with his other wing. As The Crone's feet hit the ground, he shakes his head in frustration. “Ha ha! You're losing!” Alice laughs in her usual child-like voice. It's definitely still her in there, all right.

The Crone readies his sword once more, and as Alice lunges, The Crone sees through your plan, as he point a finger towards Seishiro, who is aiming his pistols towards him. In quickmotion, Seishiro is hit in the gut by a finger beam, sending him flying back, unconscious. Alice stares, horrified, as The Crone uses the distraction to his advantage this time, making his way towards her, and driving his sword through her shoulder.

“No!” you yell as Alice cries out in pain, before being tossed to the side, and barraged with a series of beams from The Crone as she lies on the ground.

“Die! Die! Die!” the Archdemon screams as Alice is riddled with blasts, to the point where the area around her is covered in smoke, and you can't even see if she's alive or not.

“I'll heal her!” Hiro announces, as he rushes to Alice's position.

“No, you won't” The Crone shakes his head before piercing Hiro's ankle with a beam, causing him to fall to the ground. “Next time... don't announce that you're the healer.”

“You bastard!” you cry out in frustration.

The Crone sighs. “You know... I had so much faith in your vessel, Stranger. I had hoped he was see the true path of power doesn't come with surrounding yourself with mere ants like these, when in fact he could tap into that power and become a god... but he's far too stubborn.”

“Stop talking about me like I'm not here!” you yell. “You aren't talking to The Stranger right now! You're talking to me! Ryoji Shida!”

“Very well, Ryoji Shida...” The Crone sighs. “I've given up on you, if that's what you want to hear. You've tested my patience for the last time. I tried and I tried to have you see the light, but I see there's no point.”

“So, now what are you going to do?” you ask.

“Isn't it obvious?” The Crone laughs. “I'm just going to kill you.”

Before anyone has a chance to react, you feel a hot, stinging beam of energy find it's way through your heart.

“Ryojiiiiiiii!” you hear Saki cry, before your vision goes blurry, and the only sound in your ears is a high-pitched ringing. You fall back, as your vision fades and you pass out.

“RYOJI...” A growling voice calls out to you in the darkness. “FEED... ME...”

“N-no...” you gasp, barely aware of your surroundings. “I won't....”

“YOU'LL... DIE...” The voice states. “WE'LL DIE... PLEASE... FEED ME... JUST... A LITTLE...”

“YES... GOOD...” The Stranger growls from the dark shadows. You feel an intense pain in your head, as if something is being forcibly extracted from your skull. You writhe on the ground until the pain eventually subsides. You take a heavy breath, trying to remember... hang on, what memory did you give it. It was something minor... but you just can't place it. Something from your childhood? You're not sure.

“That's... much... better,” a less familiar, less gravelly voice calls out. You hear footsteps, as The Stranger finally makes its way out of the dark shadows to reveal... a humanoid figure? What the hell? A heavily robed figure standing at about your height, you notice he has the same colour hair... and the same eyes.

“Howdy stranger,” the demon says in a cocky, joking tone. “Oh, I suppose I'm The Stranger aren't I? Heh.”

You shake your head, heavily confused. “Hang on... you're a demon. Weren't you a big thing with glowing eyes and huge teeth before?”

“Well... yeah,” The Stranger replies. “That's my true form, which I couldn't change out of because you've decided to starve me like a complete jackass! Now that I've got something to work with, I can take on a form more... comfortable to you.”

“Comfortable?” you ask. “You look like me.”

“Come on Ryoji,” The Stranger laughs, “let's not pretend you don't have a bit of an ego. Still, I realised actually talking to a mirror image of yourself would seriously freak you out, hence the robes get-up to cover the face.”

“You... sound like me, too.”

“Yeah, that's what happens when I spend all my time stuck inside this noggin of yours, I've kinda picked up on your vernacular.”

“I don't use the word Vernacular!” you protest. You're not sure why you think to say that, but everything about this is strange. You're finding it hard to take seriously.

“Yeah, but you certainly know it,” The Stranger laughs. “You have to admit you're smarter than you pretend, and you intentionally dumb down your words most of the time. No shame admitting it, Ryoji, you're with a friend here.”

“You're not my friend,” you grumble. “You're a demon possessing me who wants to turn my body into a husk of your control. You're a monster.”

“Rude,” The Stranger scoffs. “After all this time I've spent in your head, you don't consider us friends? After all we've been through together? The camping trip we had? That time we fought that Spider with Rei and Akira? Our first kiss with Saki? That time we had to watch Nina die because you were an idiot? Boy... it seems we just can't agree on that last one.”

"Whoa, slow down there, pal!" The Stranger smirks. "That's a lot of questions at once! I have to take them one at a time, you know!"

"I don't exactly have time!" you fire back. "The Crone is killing my friends right now!"

"No, he's not!" Stranger protests. "Well... he is. He's going to... but this is all in your head. You're perceiving time in here completely differently to how you would out there. Much less time has passed out there. Saki's still screaming over your 'death'... poor girl."

"You sound like you care a lot," you mutter.

"Of course I care about our girlfriend!" Stranger laughs. "I'm not some monster... not after you bottled me up in your brain for so long, forcing empathy on me, having me feel all your stupid human feelings."

“Can you just get to answering my questions?” you ask.

“Yeah, fine...” Stranger mumbles. “Pull up a chair, or... just stand here in the empty void that is your brain, while with have a quick question and answers session!”

The Stranger pauses before pointing out. “Oh... calling your brain an empty void wasn't an intentional insult, but I'm going to pretend that it was.”

You sigh. “Just answer the questions. My nightmares about Nina... was that you?”

Stranger shrugs. “Can't say for sure.”

“What the hell's that supposed to mean?” you ask. “Was it or wasn't it?”

“It could have been me,” Stranger replies. “It seems like something I'd do. But as you can tell, I was a little busy starving to make fake dead girls pop up in your dreams. Maybe it was your own guilt that lead to the nightmare. I don't know, it can get pretty fuzzy in here sometimes.”

“Okay...” you mutter. “So The Crone... you want it dead too? Why?”

“Because he's a jackass, why else?” Stranger smirks. “The Crone is the worst. He's like the Yamato of Archdemons! Ha, get it? That's a little Us humour.”

“Very cute,” you groan, “But that doesn't explain anything.”

“Don't groan at my jokes!” Stranger fires back. “I learned them from watching you, after all! Look, let's keep it simple... The Crone is a bad apple. Even other Archdemons hate The Crone! Granted, other Archdemons hate me too, but that's because I don't trust them. Can't ever trust an Archdemon, especially not the kind that dresses like a clown. Point is, nobody but The Crone is in favour of this Endless Night routine, and tricking a bunch of dumb cultist into worshipping you, and thinking he spoke on behalf of all of us? Ugh, he's a real piece of shit.”

You shake your head. It doesn't give you a concrete answer, but you've got some information from the guy. “So... does this mean you're on my side?”

Stranger nods. “Yes! Well... no... kinda. I'm on MY side, which... since we share the same headspace, happens to be your side... sometimes. There's some areas where we just aren't going to agree. Let's get the elephant out of the room first...”

“The memory thing,” you mutter, crossing your arms. “Why do you have to feed on my memories?”

The Stranger shrugs. “I just do! Look, I know it's a real issue, but I can't help it! It's how I'm made! If I need to do anything, I need fuel, and that fuel happens to be... your memories. Hey, I got the short end of the stick too! The Dreamer eats away at sanity, The Charmer eats away at sexual inhibitions... The Crone just takes away the vessel's patience! I mean, who really needs patience? What a joke...”

"In theory, yes."

You shake your head. "I'm getting real freakin' sick of you dodging every question like this," you grunt. "How about you explain yourself normally before I go back to starving you?"

Stranger sighs. "Fine... Yes, I can feed on smaller, less important memories, but like I said before... it gets fuzzy up here most of the time. I don't know why, but it does. And that makes it difficult for me to tell exactly which memories I'm eating. I try real hard not to take anything important, just focus on the small clusters... your chidhood memories are all bunched up in the same place, so I stuck to them for a while, because those are more expendable..."

"And what about my parents?" you ask. "Were they a small memory? Were they expendable?"

Stranger raises his index finger, trying to explain himself. "Okay... I may have gotten a little greedy with that one. But in my defence, Alice had just pulled some magic stabbing bullshit, and if I didn't eat something big quick, we would have died."

"And what about Nina? When did you take my memories of her away?"

Stranger shrugs. "I don't know! Do you remember what you ate for breakfast two weeks ago? Neither do I! I can't be expected to keep track of what memories I ate and when! Hell, I don't ever remember eating any memories that involved a girl! As far as I'm concerned, Nina never existed... until that time we met her... and she died."

You glare angrily at the Stranger with your arms crossed.

"Okay Ryoji..." Stranger sighs. "I think it's time we cut to the chase. You need me to give you the power needed to kill The Crone, but for me to do that... I have to take some memories. I don't like it any more than you do. We're both a victim to the rules here!"

"No. Not a change I'm feeding a monster like you," you fire back.

Stranger shakes his head. "I get your hesitation, I do... but let's face the hard facts here. If we don't do this... they're all going to die. Saki is going to die. I don't want that to happen! I love Saki... granted, I only love her because you love her, and we're sorta the same person... but my point still stands. I know exactly how you feel, and I know deep down you're willing to give anything for these people. To save them... and now the time has come to do that, Ryoji. If we don't do this now, then Sayeka's vision is going to come true. Those visions don't dick around Ryoji. You need me just as much as I need you, and right now... our friends need the both of us. Please... trust me on this one."

>Fine... You better not take anything important.

Stranger claps his hands together. "Okay! I'll do my best to avoid anything major, but it'll be tricky! Don't worry, I'm mapped out what I already believe to be the Saki cluster, so I'll avoid that."

You nod your head. "Okay... so what exactly am I supposed to do now?”

Stranger laughs. “Simple, Ryoji. What you need to do now is... wake up.”

You burst from the ground with a loud gasp as you pick yourself up onto your feet. Saki looks over to you in complete shock. “Ryoji! You're... Ryoji?” she asks, as she notices the bright red swirls of energy forming around your feet as you stare up at The Crone.

“Ryoji...?” Saki gasps in a concerned voice. “That is you in there, right? Please tell me it's you, Ryoji.”

You look down at your hands as you crack your knuckles. Your fists feel so much heavier... and yet, lighter at the same time. A rush of adrenaline finds it way shooting throughout your body, causing the hairs on your arm to stand on end. “Yeah, it's me Sak...” you reply, in a voice slightly lower than your own. “Just... with a little extra.”

The Crone laughs as he turns to greet you. “It's about time you showed up! Though you're looking a little different these days... dare I say it, you look like a complete stranger!”

“Cute,” you smirk. “These days you're looking like a complete dead man.”

“Oh, there's that violent attempt at wit!” Crone laughs. “No wonder you chose the vessel you did!”

“This IS the vessel you're talking to, genius.” He stretch your shoulders, ready to go to battle.

“Interesting,” The Crone laughs. “And here I thought The Stranger would never co-operate with anyone!”

“Yeah, well jackasses like you have a way of bringing people together,” you fire back. “Tell me Crone, are you ready to die?”

“How very rude of-”

“Too slow,” you spit as you lunge towards him, a pair of daggers materialising in your hands. The Crone tries to dodge, but you can make out his movements now... and he feels so much slower than he did before. As he attempts to leap out of the way, you grab hold of his leg and pull him back, slamming him hard against the earth of the mountain. You follow up with a wound-up punch to the face while he's down, the force of which almost cracks the entire mountain in half.

“Ha, I always wanted to do that!” Stranger laughs uproariously from within you head, though you soon realise the same words are coming out of your mouth. Weird sharing the same body with someone else.

The Crone fires his sword up while he's downed, piercing through your shoulder. You barely even feel it as you stare down at him. He's panicking. The fight with Alice weakened him considerably, he's already lost his wings, and he knows full well that this isn't even a contest. You have this won without breaking a sweat.

You place your hand on the sword and with a little bit of pressure, you snap it in half. The Crone gasps as your smirk. “What's wrong, Crone? Realised that you've got nowhere to run?”

“Please... no...” Crone begs, his eyes wide with fear. “I helped free you, Stranger! You would still be trapped within the binding of your vessel's mind if it wasn't for me! We can work together!”

“I'm tempted...” you say, placing a finger to your chin. “It's a tough decision...”

“T-think about it,” The Crone stammers. “With our combined powers-”

“What?” you interrupt. “No, not that? I'm trying to decide which is better... beating you death with my bare hand or throwing you in the air and making you explode.”

“W-what?!” The Crone struggles in your grasp. “No! You can't do this to me-”

“You know what?” you reply. “I'm going to go with the cooler option. Test out what I can do.”

You grab The Crone by what little remains of his left wing as you fling him skyward. As you do, you raise your hand into the air, your finger pointing out in the shape of a gun.

“Check this out,” The Stranger says, “This is pretty awesome.”

You feel a surge of energy coursing though your right arm, culminating in the tips of your fingers. A sparkling red ball appears at the point where the energy meets. “Bang,” you whisper as the ball shoots skyward. It makes contact with The Crone in the air, before expanding out in a massive explosion the light's up the sky.

Goodbye Crone.

You feel the energy fade from your body, as you fall to one knee. It seems Stranger didn't want to overstay his welcome after his job was done. Saki immediately rushes towards you and tackles you with a hug. “Ryoji, that was amazing! But very stupid! But you saved us! But you could have gotten yourself killed! But... are you okay?”

“I'm fine, Sak...” you reply. “Never better. How's Alice?”

“She's still breathing,” a limping Hiro calls out. “I'm tending to her now.”

“It's done...” Saki smiles. “I can't believe we finally did it...”

“Hey, I always knew we'd win in the end... mostly thanks to my amazing talents, but-HEY!” you exclaim as Saki gives you a small punch to the arm. “I'm still sensitive! It's been a long night!”

Saki smiles as she reaches into her pocket. “You're right. And after a day like this, you deserve a reward... I didn't like buying these, but... they're a gift for you.”

Out from her front pocket, Saki pulls out... a packet of cigarettes? That's odd... why would she buy those?

>For me? But I don't smoke... do I?

“Ryoji, what are you talking about?” Saki asks, confused. “Of course you smoke! It's all you ever do!”

“It... is?” you mumble. Try as you might, you can't picture yourself with a cigarette in your hand. “Are you sure, Sak?”

Saki's eyes widen in fear. “Y-yes I'm sure!” she yells. “You're a smoker, Ryoji! You always have been! What... what did that thing do to you?”

That's right... The Stranger. To give you those powers, he had to take away some of your memories. Perhaps that's why Saki is so adamant about this smoking thing? Maybe you were a smoker at some point or another...

“I'm sorry Saki... I just don't remember...” you mutter, as Saki's hands begin to shake in panic.

“What do you mean you don't remember?” Saki asks. “You're a smoker! Don't you remember all those times I would lecture you about smoking? When I would complain about the smoky smell of your jacket? Don't you remember when we went to the roof, and I took your cigarettes and tried one of my own? When I had that argument with my parents? It was when we had our first kiss, Ryoji! Please tell me you remember!”

“Saki...” you mutter. “I remember you lecturing me about a lot of nonsense, but never smoking. I remember the jacket complaints, but didn't you just think it smelled in general?”

“What about the roof?” Saki squeaks out, rather meekly. “Please tell me you remember the roof...”

You pause. “Saki... I remember you arguing with your parents. I remember you telling them to go to hell and you storming off... but that's it. Our first kiss, was at Nanami's party, wasn't it?”

The look Saki gives you is one of pure horror. “N-no... no it wasn't! Our first kiss was on the roof! I smoked an entire cigarette for you, Ryoji! You have to remember that!”

Saki frantically pull a cigarette from the case and forces it into your mouth. “What are you doing, Sak?” you ask.

“You're a smoker, Ryoji!” she yells. “You have to remember!”

She reaches into your pocket and pulls out a lighter, igniting the cigarette in your mouth with a very shaky hand. You take a quick puff and... ugh, that's disgusting! Out of reflex, you spit the cigarette out of your mouth and wince in disgust.

“No!” Saki yells, as she shakes your shoulders and tears fall from her eyes. “You have to finish it! You love cigarettes, Ryoji! And I hate that you love them! You have to remember you have t-to...”

She crumples her face into your chest as she begins sobbing. “I-it was our first kiss... it was the moment I knew... I l-love you...”

>It's okay, Saki. I love you too. I remember that much.

You hold Saki tight and stroke the back of her hair as she sobs into your chest. "Y-you... you do, Ryoji?"

"Of course!" you reply with a comforting smile. "Saki... I might not know exactly when our first kiss was anymore... but I still know perfectly well how much I want to kiss you all the time. I really should have said this sooner Saki, but... I love you."

"I love you too, Ryoji..." Saki smiles as she sniffles, and plants a kiss on your lips. That one... you're going to remember that one forever. "Just... promise me... never work with that thing again. I don't want it to take anything more away from you."

"Saki, I had to work with it just this once," you explain. "If I didn't, you all would have died. I couldn't allow that. It was a heavy sacrifice, but it was worth it to know that the people I love are safe. Thankfully, I don't think I'll ever be in this position again."

"Let's hope not," Saki mutters. "I've had enough of this to last a lifetime."

As you wrap your arm around Saki and begin to move, you notice that the aftermath of the battle has left a long line of your friends waiting to speak to you.

"That was insane!" Ken exclaims. "I can't believe you did that! Working with a demon? What were you thinking?"

"Admit it Ken," you laugh. "The fight was pretty cool."

Ken smirks. "Okay... you're right. It also just feels good to know that justice was delivered!"

You nod. "Yeah... it was real satisfying. Here's hoping we can take out the rest of the Darkworld just like we did to The Crone."

"Yeah..." Ken chuckles, before leaning in to whisper. "Hey, If you want, I can clear out of the dormroom when we get back, so you and Saki can have some private time..."

You laugh. "Ken, I'm exhausted. When we go back, I'm going to sleep."

"Amazing..." Nanami mutters.

"Still in awe, captain?" you ask.

"You don't have to call me that anymore, Ryoji..." Nanami explains.

"Huh? Why not?"

"After what you did today, it's clear you're not suited as a first mate..." she explains. "That kind of bravery, leadership... I never realised it before, but you deserve to be Captain of your own ship. And that's why I'm cutting you loose."

>Nah, I'd rather stay a part of your crew.
>It was an honour serving you, Captain.
>Why can't I just take the Captain title from you?

>>279243
>>Nah, I'd rather stay a part of your crew.

>>279243
>>Nah, I'd rather stay a part of your crew.
It'd suck to steal Nanami's mates from her and finding a crew sounds like a pain. 'Sides, she's a good captain.

1. Ken is a Bro, and we should have taken the offer to cuddle alone.
2. I don't care if you're tired, you aren't missing the fireworks
3. We better start trying to smoke and at least force ourselves to like it, as a means of remembering what we've forgotten
4. Its cute that Saki doesn't realise there is a season 2. Sad that she's trying to force a promise that likely can't be kept.

>Nah, I'd rather stay a part of your crew.

Nanami raises an eyebrow. “But why? You're clearly captain material!”

“Yeah, I'd make an excellent captain,” you reply, “But I make an even better first mate. Besides, how could I abandon a captain as great as you?”

Nanami smiles as she gives you a small salute. “Very well then! The crew of the S.S. Saki remains!”

“The S.S. Saki...?” Saki mumbles.

“I'll explain later...”

“Why the S.S.? It's not a steam ship, is it?”

“So... you finally did it,” Sayeka mutters.

“Yeah,” you reply. “Considering your vision, I didn't have any other choice...”

Sayeka nods. “Yes... I'm glad that I no longer have to bear witness to that horrible vision.”

You smile. “Here's hoping the rest of your visions are happy ones, right?”

The is a pause. “I'll speak to you about my new visions later...” she answers ominously.

“And with Settan, the Order of the Awakened is finally gone...” Reiji remarks. “I suppose that make me the last surviving member.”

“Hey, I always knew you were tough, Reiji!” you laugh.

Reiji gives a small smile. “Thanks, Ryoji. I have to say, I appreciate the irony in you turning the one thing they wanted against them. What a bunch of fools they were...”

“You okay?” you ask. “I can see how this could be rough.”

Reiji shakes his head. “I'm fine. My parents sealed their own fate... today, we closed the book on the Order. I'm ready to move on now.”

“Man, I just don't know how you do it...” Kosuke mutters, scratching the back of his head. “How do you keep pulling off crap like this? Even if I had your power, I'd be way too lazy to make any real use of it. I'd just consider it a real drag...”

You smirk, shaking your head. Kosuke never changes his laid-back attitude, does he? “It's a real drag for me too, you know?”

“Yeah, I know...” Kosuke replies. “Sorry about that. You did good out there today, pal.”

“I'll say!” Rini chimes in. “Ryoji, when the hell'd you learn to fight like that! You totally curb-stomped that freak! A victory like this calls for a celebration as soon as we get back to school!”

“Haha, you bet we are!” Rini excitedly pumps her fist.

“You're going to what?!” Saki snaps.

“Oh come on Saki,” Rini laughs. “After all we've been through, you can't let one prank slide.”

Saki pouts. “Okay... as long as it's a harmless one.”

“No promises,” Kosuke shrugs.

“Yo, Ryoji!” Seishiro exclaims with excitement. “You did it! That was awesome, man!”

“I guess it was pretty awesome, wasn't it?” you reply, scratching the back of your head.

“You're damn right it was!” Seishiro fires back. “That demon dude didn't know what hit him!”

“Yeah!” Yasutake yells out. “You really proved yourself to be a fierce warrior, Ryoji! W e should spar sometime!”

“There was so much beautiful... delicious scarlet blood,” Kamiko laughs. “I commend you, Shida!”

“Huh?” you raise an eyebrow.

“She means she was impressed!” Lilo explains. “We all were! You really put us to shame!”

“Hey!” Taka snaps. “Nobody puts me to shame!”

Taka shakes his head as he pats you on the shoulder. “Still... I always knew you had it in you, kid. By 'it', I mean the strength, not the literal demon inside you.”

“Thanks Taka,” you reply. “I'll try not to put you too much to shame next time.”

“I dare you to try you little runt!”

“Great work, Ryoji...” Shinji mutters. “I suppose I will have to work harder from here on out, if I wish to get strong enough to better protect everyone else.”

“Don't you have something more important to do first?” you ask.

“Of course,” Shinji nods. “This time, I'm not breaking my promise. I'll be taking my sister to that picnic... now to celebrate her...” Shinji sighs. “Her engagement.”

“They aren't getting married,” you reply.

“Dating is bad enough,” Shinji remarks.

“You did it,” Maro states, extremely bluntly as he hangs his rifle over his shoulder.

>Thanks Maro. I couldn't have done it without you.

Maro nods. “No need to thank me, Ryoji.”

“But I'm going to anyway,” you reply. “You were there to give me advice at times when I really needed it. I'm never going to forget how much of a help you were.”

Maro shakes his head. “Ryoji, are you trying to force a big brother-mentor routine here? I did my duty, that was it. You never really needed my help, Ryoji. Everything you did, you did on your own.”

“How very interesting...” Sora remarks.

“What is?”

“You are, Ryoji...” Sora smiles. “I must say, the two of us should meditate soon, see if you can form a deeper connection with the demon withing. I have to say, I'm fascinated.”

“Same here!” Satomi smiles. “Ryoji, you absolutely must let me and Tekina study you some more. There's a whole wealth of knowledge that can come from a proper study of you!”

“As long I don't get stabbed by any needles,” you reply.

“Come on! That was one time!” Satomi protests. “Let me have this, Ryoji! I have to take my mind off of... Hikaru's engagement.”

“I'm not getting married!” Hikaru shouts out. “Why does everyone keep thinking that! I turned him down!”

“Maybe it's the fact that you're holding my hand right now?” Akio smirks.

“Shut up,” Hikaru rolls her eyes before turning her attention over to you. “Congrats Ryoji, I really didn't think it could be done. Call me cynical, but I was sure we were all doomed.”

“Okay... you're cynical,” you smile.

“Very cute,” Hikaru gives a generous giggle. “But I can admit when I'm wrong. Swing by the library some time when we get back, I'll get you a book you like... to keep! No returns!”

“I remember when you were some weak loser that I made fun of...” Akio laughs. “Damn, my betting pool needs to be completely re-arranged...”

“I guess falling for a girl really changed you, huh?” you laugh.

“Look who's talking!” Akio fires back, pointing at Saki. “Besides, don't give Hikaru all the credit. You played a big part in it too. You really helped me mature, whether you knew it or not. I've still got a long way to go though, until...”

“Until?” you ask.

“Until I match you, obviously!” Akio exclaims. “I won't stop until I prove to be stronger, tougher, smarter and a better leader than you, Ryoji! Prepare to face your greatest rival!”

Huh, guess he hasn't completely grown up...
