Later on that day, Himawari convinced Debiddo and Bolt to travel to an unknown area with her. When they arrive, they see the remains of Jamal Wilson who was killed by two corrupt police officers. Himawari alerts the authorities on the discovery and the police quickly alert the family. Tears fall as the family sees their child dead in front of them. The team then travels back to Debiddo's neighborhood, silent, as they process what happened. A news bulletin played on a TV in a nearby store. "The case of the missing children has finally been solved. The culprits were those in the Ikiru Machi Police department. A 40-year-old officer Jacob McCrery and the 28-year-old Officer Louis Hanson. The two culprits seemed to physically walk themselves into a lion's den at our zoo, causing themselves to get eaten by the lions." The news anchor lady says as Himawari glances over at the television while she walks, with a smile on her face. With more on the subject, we have Anthony Potts standing by.
"Yes, it seems those officers are the reason many of the kids in this area had been missing, these officer's prints have been found on the corpses of numerous bodies found in the area. They are even expected to be the cause of the major massacre that killed everyone in Ikiru Machi high, who had previously thought to have been caused by local student, Debiddo Mobbure. This event will take the young man off the wanted list and this will finally put a close to this very heartbreaking case. The town unanimously decided to reopen the school back open in the fall." "Those humans were more monsters than the actual demons themselves." Bolt says as he looks with disgust. "Yeah, sad as it may seem, this is the norm we as humans have to deal with. Corrupted people like those two are always getting away with doing things like this. I'm just glad that my name has been cleared, and those bastards got what came to them." Himawari looks at Debiddo with anger in her eyes.
"This shouldn't be the norm here Debiddo, That guy, and all the other kids in that area were killed like animals, just for being different. It's sickening!" "Well, welcome to the human realm Hima, nothing in those chaser classes will ever get you ready for this harsh reality," Debiddo says sternly dismissive tone. "Anyways, let's head back to my house, we can stay there for the night before the bank takes it away." "Takes it away? Why would they do that?" Bolt says to Debiddo. "Because in the human realm, if you don't have money to pay to keep the house up and running, then you won't be able to keep that house." "Oh, if money is the issue, I can make it that you can keep the house," Himawari says pulling out her a coin pouch out of her shirt. She tosses the coin purse at Debiddo and starts to walk inside his house. "That is 100 gold pieces in that pouch. Hopefully, that should be enough to get your house back in your name. Debiddo runs up to Himawari with tears in his eyes.
"Aww, thank you Hima-sama! You are such an awesome and beautiful soldier!" Debiddo says as he bows to her and massages her back. "Humph, finally you show me of royal blood some respect!" "You are so noble and kind, and you totally don't have a padded bra on to hide the fact that you have small breasts." Debiddo continues. "Aww, thank you for the complemen---Wait what was that last line you said?" Himawari says as she realized what Debiddo mentioned. "Umm, so well um, while I go cash these coins, why don't you guys make yourself at home?" Debiddo says as he runs out of the house. "Hey, Don't just run away!" Himawari says angrily. "Jeez, that man gets on my nerves." "You and Debiddo get on my nerves with all your lovey-dovey crap, gosh at this point y'all argue like a married couple." Bolt says as he sits down on the couch. "Bolt! Not you too!" Himawari says as she gets flustered "Me? like that i-idiot d-don't be ridiculous!" "Calm down princess, I was just messing with you. Wow, you really may be in love with that idiot." Bolt says to Himawari, who is blushing red.
An hour later, Debiddo is finished with trading the gold coins for money and starts to walk back to his house, as he walks down the alleyway, he suddenly has the urge to go to his old school. "Why do I want to go to school so bad, it's like my body is being drawn there," Debiddo says as he slowly approaches the school. Ikiru Machi High school had long since been abandoned since the massacre happened. The entrance and the surrounded area had been covered in police tape. Debiddo works his body through the tape and makes his way through the building. When he walks through the doors to the school, Debiddo is faced with the horrid images of the deaths of all his classmates that were killed that fateful day. "Get it together Debiddo," Debiddo says to himself. "That demon is gone, all your classmates are gone. Its been a few months since that incident, you got to snap out of it!" Debiddo slaps his face causing the images to disappear. With this, Debiddo continued walking through the school. "There are no signs of spirits nearby at all," Debiddo says looking through the classrooms. "I guess the recovery squad purified all the school's spirits." All of a sudden. Debiddo's SPOC device goes off.
"Demon alert, Demon alert. Ranked A demon discovered, Ikiru Machi High school! Proceed with caution!" "A ranked A demon? Over here? Impossible. There are no spirits over here." All of a sudden Debiddo hears echoing footsteps which resound louder and louder as they get closer to Debiddo. Debiddo automatically activates his butsuri release as he prepares for a fight. The footsteps are coming from the other side of the hallway, echoing more and more as the demonic energy starts to thicken the air. "Now, Now, Debiddo, why are you looking so hostile." The voice says to Debiddo. The voice has a familiar sound to it, that makes Debiddo start breaking out in a cold sweat. "No...it couldn't be..." Debiddo says as his face goes pale. " so this is how you are going to treat an old friend, huh Debiddo." The voice came out from behind the corner and his face is clear to Debiddo. "H-Henry?" Debiddo says in shock. The voice was no other than Henry Hedera, Debiddo's High school friend who, was killed by a demon, but now has transformed into a demon himself.
"Henry, you are alive! I'm happy for you. But how? Why are you a demon?" Debiddo says as he processes all this reveal. "That's a lot of questions you askin' Debiddo," Henry says walking methodically to Debiddo. "Well, I don't think it would hurt to tell you." Henry grabs two chairs from one of the classrooms. "Here Debiddo, Take a seat." Debiddo and Henry take a seat in front of each other. "Well, it all happened when I was killed by the demon and you ran away." Henry then thinks back to his final moments alive. His eyes opened up to see Debiddo running away. "Good, I did a good thing. Hopefully, Debiddo escapes." Henry says just before closing his eyes. "Now that just won't do." Henry's eyes open up quickly as if he woke up from a dream. "Huh, what's going on?" Henry says feeling his body. "Why am I still alive? And Why am I floating? What is going on?" "It's incredible how many questions you have for someone who just died." The mysterious voice says in the darkness. "Died? What do you mean died? Who are you?" The voice peers out of the darkness with a large devilish smile. It was a demon, who showed a lot of human qualities.
"You can call me doctor." The demon says "Doctor Ronin," "Ok, hello doctor?" Henry says as he is frozen in fear. "Now, don't be afraid, child. I'm here to save you." Doctor Ronin says stretching his hand out toward Henry. "I'm here to give you a second chance at living." "A second chance? Do you mean I can live again." Henry says excitedly. "Yes, Yes, of course." Dr. Robin says with a smile "However, not as a human, no, no, no. You will live on as a Demon!" "Demon? What? No, I don't want to go to hell!" "Aw, hell isn't that bad if you are a demon chosen by me. I am someone who was chosen to make powerful demon strong enough to take over a place called limbo, and you, my good sir, are a perfect candidate for my experiment. you will be stronger, faster, and will have a power that will destroy all in your wake. "So, what do I have to do? Do I have to sign a contract or something?" Dr.Ronin laughs a dark warped laugh. "No, son, all you have to do is shake my hand." Dr. Ronin says as he stretches his hand forward towards Henry again. Henry hesitates to shake his hand. "Don't you want to see your best friend again?" Dr. Ronin says which makes Henry look at him.
"I need you to bring me your friend so that way I can do the same thing to him. Both of you would be powerful. No one would be able to stop your onslaught on the masses. You two would and could take over this world! And all you have to do is shake...my...hand." Dr.Ronin grins evilly as Henry finally shakes his hand. Immediately, demonic energy starts to surge through Henry as his demonic body starts to take form. After the transformation was complete, Dr. Ronin starts clapping. "Beautiful, beautiful. The transformation was a rousing success! I knew I was right about you! Now time for the next step...Are you hungry?" Dr. Ronin said pulling out a soul from a sack that a demon that was behind him was holding. Henry looks at his new form and gives an evil grin. "I'm starving." "Here then, consume this soul and start your journey of power!" Dr. Ronin says as he hands the soul to Henry. Henry, at first starts to sweat at the notion of eating another person's soul, however, he quickly snaps out of it and consumed the soul. "Excellent, how does it feel?" Dr. Ronin says to henry.
"It....feels good," Henry responds. "Good now consume some more souls and bring me Debiddo!" Dr. Ronin says as he and his demon henchman disappears. Hearing all this, Debiddo looks at his friend in shock. "wait, if he told you to eat more souls, doesn't that mean..." Debiddo says horrified at the thought of what his friend did. "Yes, Debiddo I ate everyone's soul," Henry says in a low evil tone. Debiddo, shocked at what he heard, stands up out of his chair. "You ate everyone's soul?" Debiddo says as he looks at his former friend. "Yes, and the power is amazing bro!" Henry says stretching his hands out wide. "I never would have thought that consuming human souls would give me such a rush of energy! IT's LIBERATING!" "Those were people we knew. People we grew up with. They were human beings!" Debiddo says as his spiritual energy starts to rise. "So? When did you ever care about people? You were the most dominating force at our school. You had even the principle scared of you. So why? Of all the times you could care...why now?" Henry says standing out of his chair. "I..was wrong henry. I was wrong about everything. I terrorized everyone like it was fun, but in reality, I was just trying to make myself feel better." Debiddo says clenching his chest.
"Being a chaser, made me realize that as human beings, we are fragile creatures whose life is very short in the grand scheme of things...we don't need our lives to be hell while we are living on earth. Because once our lives are over, then that's it. We don't get a do-over. We either go to Rakuen or the demon world after this. You are literally giving up your chance at paradise Henry why did you do that?" "Tch, you've changed a lot Debiddo, and not for the better," Henry says disgustedly. "I looked up to you, to your power. You were so cool how you took over the high school and now look at you. Trying to give me some backwater B.S about changing your life around and trying to protect others, come on man. Don't make me laugh." "You and I been through everything together man, we lived a life of fun and excitement! I trusted you through all of your decisions. Every last one of them, and now it is time for you to do the same...Join us Debiddo, Join me. Let us take over this world like we did this school."
