Team Debiddo and newly added Trice, All travel down the alleyway where the little girl met the Demon. Debiddo looks out at the horizon and spots the soul of an Old man near a hospital. Debiddo prepares to run out to grab the soul when Himawari stops him. "Just wait Debiddo." Himawari says "We are going to use that soul as bait." "Really, how do you know that the demon will even attack this old man," Debiddo says to Himawari. "It is just a hunch, but it looks like the demon is targeting certain souls, and it looks like whatever soul is close to us, that is the soul they go after." "You telling me that this demon knows we are after him?" Bolt says "It's a possibility." Himawari responds. "So if I am right, the demon will be disguised again so he won't be recognized when he corrupts that old man's soul." Everyone waits, crouched behind a fence for half an hour before Trice stands up out of frustration. "Ah, this is getting irritating," Trice says grabbing at his hair. "We should be trying to get at this gu---," "SHHH," Debiddo, and Himawari say to Trice as a man walks near the Old man spirit." "He can see the spirit," Himawari says to Trice." "Look, He has a SPOC," Debiddo says standing up." "A chaser? Why would he—," Bolt says as everyone's SPOC goes off. "What?" Debiddo says as he looks up and sees the old man turn into a demon. "It's him, everyone lets move out. Bolt and Himawari, Go take out that old man demon, and Trice and I are going to take out that Demon. "Right!" Everyone says as they scatter fighting their respective battles.
"Let's Move," Debiddo says to Trice. "Right!" Trice replies. Both of them approach the man as he is walking away. "Stop! I have a few questions for you, Demon!" "Demon? I don't know what you are talking abou—," The demon says as he turns around and notices Trice. "Oh it's you, how are you liking being a superhero?" Debiddo looks at Trice with confusion. "Oh, it's You, sir Michael! Sorry I didn't recognize you sooner. Trice says with a smile. "Huh?" Debiddo says in confusion. "Oh, Debiddo, this is the man who gave me my powers." The little girl spirit, who was hiding behind Debiddo came out and saw the man. She starts crying. "It's the Badman, The Badman." Trice looks confused as Debiddo looks furiously at the man. "You are the one making these innocent spirits turn into demons? For what?" "I guess I can't hide it anymore since you brought that little brat with you, but yes, I am turning them into demons to wreak havoc through this town." Michael says laughing evilly "But, Why," Trice says feeling betrayed. "Simple" Micheal says pointing to Trice. "I want to consume your soul. Both Debiddo and trice look at him in horror. "Consume his soul? Aren't You a chaser?" Debiddo says confused.
"Oh, I was until I met a man..well demon rather, Who liberated me. Who showed me the real RUSH of being a demon. These humans do not deserve my or anybody's help. All they need to do is die and be food for the demons." Michael says as he stretches his arms wide. Bolt and Himawari run back to Debiddo and Trice to see the demon starting to transform. "Why do you want my soul? Why make me a hero in the first place?" Trice says. "Another Simple answer, I wanted you to be a strong Hanshi because their souls are the best tasting!" Michael says licking his lips. "You and your Hanshi friend over here will be the best meal!" Suddenly the energy gets more and more robust as Michael's Spiritual aura starts glowing Red and Black and his wings start to spread out. "Debiddo, we are here to help!" Himawari says as she and Bolt stand beside Debiddo. "Good," Debiddo says, "Cause we are going to need all the help we can get!" Michael blasts dark energy at everyone, causing them to dodge and take cover. Himawari and Bolt leave their cover and start flying up to Michael. Both of them land a multitude of blows to Michael, however, each blow is blocked and countered. Michael grabs Bolt and sends him flying into Himawari causing both of them to land in a car. Michael then flies toward the ground and starts doing hand-to-hand combat with Debiddo. Debiddo uses a sweep kick, just for Michael to jump and land a kick to Debiddo. Debiddo blocks the kick with his arm, however, the force of the kick is so strong that it causes Debiddo to fly back into a building. Debiddo runs towards Michael with a shining fist, just to have him dodge the punch and land a solid blow to Debiddo's chest.
The punch causes Debiddo to lose his breath as flies and lands on the ground. Michael laughs as he prepares to land another blast unto a defeated Debiddo. "DIE!" Michael says as he launches a blast. The blast does not land, however, because Trice, with his shield in hand, blocks the blast completely. Debiddo looks up at the back of Trice. "Don't worry Debiddo, as long as I have my shield, I will protect you guys, and as long as I have my sword, I WILL FIGHT." Michael intensifies his blast causing Trice to be pushed back. "Trice, move out the way, your shield is going to crack!" Debiddo says as he notices a large crack form on the shield after the pressure of the blasts. "I don't care!" Trice says holding through the intense pressure of the blast. "If I can't save one person, then I shouldn't be a hero!" "That is a quote from an anime," Debiddo says as Trice looks back at him smiling, "I know". At that moment, Trice starts to look like Debiddo's old friend Henry when he saved Debiddo from that demon from long ago. Debiddo jumps up and starts blasting Michael with a barrage of light energy, which he dodges with ease. "How can he dodge so easily, even though he is still blasting away at Trice?" "Fool, you haven't realized it yet?" I've been using my Genki the whole time!" Debiddo, Himawari, and Bolt are shocked as they recovered from the onslaught. "My Genki of perception makes it child's play to avoid your attacks," Michael says as he focuses energy in his hand. "Now, be gone!" Michael creates a wave of energy that sends everyone flying. Everyone except Trice, who charges in using his shield.
"Hmph, a waste," Michael says as he punches through the shield and through the chest of Trice. "Trice NOOO" Debiddo screams as Michael pulls his arm out of Trice and drops his body onto the ground. Bolt and Himawari go back in to attack Michael as Debiddo and the little girl runs up to a dying Trice. "Come on man, You a hero aren't you?" Debiddo says holding Trice's hand. "Come on, you can't die. You can't die on me again, HENRY!" Debiddo says shocked realizing the mistake he made. "It—Hurts," Trice says to Debiddo. "But I can't feel anymore. Everything is cold." "Just stay with me, man...You are not going to die here!" Debiddo says to Trice, holding his cold hand. "De..bi..ddo" Trice says as he staggers his breath. "He—re" Trice hands Debiddo, a piece of his shield. I put-- some of my luck--- into --this piece-- of my shield. I'm using-- my plot armor --to stay alive, but --I can't-- last long. I should have known--- that his perception Genki ---would be stronger--- than my plot armor. I—guess I'm not the hero of my story after all." Trice chuckles as he coughs up blood. "Now Go, Beat him. Beat him --before my luck runs ---out." Debiddo carefully puts Trice down as he goes toward the little girl's spirit. "What's your name, little girl? I know I should've asked a long time ago." "It's Anna," The little girl says with tears in her eyes. "Well Anna, I need you to do something for me. Watch over Trice." Suddenly Debiddo's Spiritual energy starts to surge and glow a bright yellow. "I'll be right back." Anna shakes her head yes as Debiddo teleports to Michael.
Bolt has been knocked down and Himawari is going toe to toe with Michael before being ultimately knocked down as well. Before Michael could deal with the defining blow, a bright light shoots through the air and strikes him. This shocks everyone when they find out that it is Debiddo, who lands a blow to Michael. "Ha, lucky shot," Michael says wiping the blood off his lip. "It's not happening again." Michael charges in trying to land punches on Debiddo. Each punch Is dodged effortlessly by Debiddo. Which causes Michael to be taken aback. "What? How is he dodging my blows? It supposed to be well calculated because of my premonition Genki!" Debiddo continues to dodge each and every blow until finally, Michael lands a strike on Debiddo. The blow didn't face Debiddo though as he grabs Michael's arm and rips it off. This causes Michael to scream out in pain. "Damn You!" Michael tries to punch min with his other hand, however, Debiddo knees him in the chin and breaks all of his teeth, and then heel kicks Michael to the ground. "I'm not going to die here," Michael says as his eyes change from confidence to desperation. "I gave up everything, even my humanity and my status to get to where I am today, I won't let you fools get you're WAY!" With the shield piece clenched tightly in his hand, Debiddo walks steadily towards Michael, dodging the rapid-fire demonic blast that is aimed at him.
Bolt and Himawari stare at Debiddo in awe as he deflects every blow. "It looks like someone grew a pair," Bolt says as he puts his head down and smirks. "Why-can't I hit you? Why are you this strong? Why-won't-you-die?!" Michael says as Debiddo walks through one of his energy blasts. "Simple..." Debiddo says as his hand starts to shine, illuminating the entire area. "I got Plot armor," Debiddo whispers to Michael as he places an orb of light onto him, which starts to shine more and more brightly. "NOOOOOO!" Michael says as the orb explodes into a beam of light, causing him to disintegrate. His soul is left floating around and his SPOC destroyed. Debiddo absorbs the soul and immediately was flooded with images of every person he killed, and his days as a chaser soldier, However through most of these memories, one memory stood out, a human-looking demon with a labcoat laughing through the shadows. "Are you willing to take the risk, Michael?" The voice says to Michael giving him a vial with some red liquid inside. "I am, I'm tired of this chaser lifestyle, I want to be free. Even if it means I lose my humanity!" Michael says as he drinks the vial and starts choking. "Good, Good, Good indeed." The memories of Michael overcome Debiddo and he is forced to leave them. "Debiddo, What did you see?" Himawari says grasping Debiddo's shoulder. "I don't know, but what I do know is, there is someone out there making chasers into Half-demons," Debiddo says out of breath.
Debiddo walks up to Trice, whose spiritual energy starts dimming, and his body starts to become transparent. "We did it Trice, We've saved the world," Debiddo says placing the shield fragment onto Trice's chest. "We—did—didn't we?" Trice says as his eyes start to dim from a light green hue to that of grey. "I'm sorry Debiddo, Himawari, Bolt, and even you little girl. I can't really move to hug you guys. Huh, I guess I can't hear you guys either..." Trice sees everyone tear up as he grows more and more translucent. "Why are you guys crying? We won! Huh? I guess I can't speak anymore either. Oh well, I guess I made use of my life after all. Mom, dad. I'm sorry." Trice disappears as the soul is left behind floating in front of Team Debiddo, who was crying over where his body laid. Debiddo absorbed his soul, and images of his life flashed through Debiddo. Images from back when he was a baby with his parents, to the time he enrolled in Jr high school, even though his conversations with his parents. "What do you want to do in the future Trice honey?" Trice's mom says to him. "Well, I don't know yet, all I know is that I want to help people. Like a hero!" The memories then start fading away as the SPOC device stops glowing. "You were a hero, Plot Armor Man. You were." Debiddo says looking up at the sky. Later on, the little girl got purified by Himawari. "Tank you, everyone! I love you all a lot!" The little girl says as she makes a heart sign with her hands just before disappearing. "Sigh, it is over now." Himawari says to Debiddo and Bolt." "Why is it our first mission had to be so emotionally tiring?" "Geeze I got dirt and glass in places that I didn't know I had." Bolt says getting dirt out of one of his shoes. "Everyone, I'm sorry," Debiddo says looking out at the town. "I almost got you guys killed and got that poor boy killed trying to protect me. I swear I will be a better leader, I swear I will protect everyone!" Bolt and Himawari look at Debiddo and smile. "Good, we are going to hold you to that!" The sun sets over the city as Team Debiddo moves on with their patrol.
