Sasha died, we had defeated her and her team yet we still didn't know how to escape purgatory. We looked at Sasha's lifeless body. Her once bronze skin is now gray. "So we're just gonna act like what we just did wasn't cool as fuck", Mitsuki asked. "It was lowkey cool though", I laughed, high-fiving her. We all laughed and left.
"Okay, Sasha and her team are all dead but we still don't know how to get out of here", Maria said. "Well at least we have a cool group name", Veronica said. "The phantom class, I like that name", Aberash said. We turned through an alley to get home. The grim reaper was in front of us. "What is it?", I asked.
He handed us another note with an address on it. "Thanks". He left and we went to the address. "Has escaping purgatory been this easy this whole time", I asked. "Not really, about 20 years ago when we all died, none of these people would be the way they are now". "We also wouldn't know each other", Neptune told me.
We got to the address and looked at the tall futuristic building. "Is this the right place?" I asked looking back at the note. "Seems like it's it". We tried to walk in and a man in a suit and sunglasses stopped us. "Do you girls have an ID, this is a professional business". "Based on how you all are dressed, I don't think your work here". "We need to get in here and find Chair Woman Wilson".
He laughed and closed the door on us. "Fucking rude", I shouted. I ran up to the door and knocked on it. "Where's your ID", the same man asked. "I don't have one"! He walked away, I turned around to Mitsuki. "Wanna help"? "Don't mind if I do", she said getting out her weapon. I ran up to the door and kicked it down and at the same time, Mitsuki knocked on the window. "Hey"!
Two guards came out and put me and Mitsuki in the back of a cop car. "Well this sucks", she said laughing. We yanked our arms apart, breaking the cuffs. I became intangible and moved through the door. Mitsuki did the same thing. We met up with everyone else at the back of the building. "Do you think that we can get up there?" Maria asked. "You want to climb up the side of the building". "I know how", Veronica and Neptune said.
Veronica jumped onto the building and kept doing flips until she got to the top. Neptune grabbed onto the walls. "You're just going to straight-up climb", I asked with a disappointed look. "Yeah, watch", she said confidently. She started to climb her way up like she was rock climbing. "Do the rest of you guys know how you can get up there"? Maria started to play a loud and fast tune.
Rose petals rose her into the air until she got to the top. "I can only jump about 50 meters", Aberash said. She threw her sword halfway up and did a front flip-up there. Then she jumped the rest of the way. "How are we going to get up there?" I asked Mitsuki. She went into phantom form and climbed up the building as Neptune did. I grabbed my scythe and jumped as high as I could.
My jump went too far and I was going to fly over the building. I hooked my scythe around the pole on the building and stopped. I turned over to everyone else and gave them a thumbs up. We walked through the door that was on the roof and got inside the building. When we got in we were on the top floor. "Who are you?", a guard shouted.
I punched him out cold and then 7 more guards came out. "Dammit"! We all got out our weapons and started to fight. I sliced down two guards and watched as Neptune was backed onto the rooftop. About 10 more guards came. It was too many, we went back up to the rooftop to escape. We couldn't all jump down.
I turned around to about 20 guards staring at us. "Guys what do we do", Maria asked. "We have no other choice but to kill right"? "Phantom form", we all shouted. "Who the hell are you guys"? "We're the Phantom Class". It started to rain, I waved my scythe in the air and swung it, killing about 5 guards. Neptune didn't appear to be in Phantom form.
But very quickly before you could notice she was in a squatting fetal position, hugging her knees. She had a gun pointed both ways. She moved her hands left and right shooting them, killing 4 guards. Maria was playing guitar tunes killing multiple guards in one song. Aberash was slicing and moving through guards.
It had seemed that she didn't do anything, then their bodies fell into two pieces. Veronica shot 18 poison arrows into a couple of guards. Mitsuki's bat was enlarged and she was swinging it everywhere. Soon all of the guards were dead, we were all soaked in rainwater. We came inside dragging water throughout the building. We went to the biggest office we saw. "Where's Chair Woman Wilson", I shouted holding up my scythe.
"Demise", she said, reading my scythe. "No reason to get hostile, I'm right here". "You're Chair Woman Wilson", Maria asked. "In the flesh, unlike you, child". Maria frowned and put on her hood. "You're supposed to have the answers, how do we escape purgatory", Neptune shouted. "You all have a reason for being here".
"If you're stuck here it means you are hanging on to something from your being alive". Once you can let that go then you will leave purgatory and pass on". "So all we have to is figure out what's keeping us here and let it go"? "Exactly". We left and sat down trying to figure out why we were there.
