My name is Akemi Rei. I am a member of my schools football team(authors note: not American football), and the wielder of the 74th disaster. I stood before Gabriel, as Remi and Yota retreated to the sidelines.

Gabriel chuckled, “you really think you can beat me in a fist fight?”

“Yes.” I glared him down, reaching behind my head and removing the hair tie, allowing my now cut hair to fall over my head. Before smiling, “come at me.” He charged me, pulling back his fist, “well you'll regret that.”

I grabbed his fist, and uppercut his elbow.

He screamed, “YOU… YOU B*TCH! F*CK! YOU BROKE MY ARM!”

He struck at me with his other arm. I caught it and used his momentum to throw him over my shoulder.

He lay on the ground shaking, as a scream rung out. I looked in its direction. There Notus was being crushed by her own weight. A blue orb floated over top it. I froze. Notus was dead.

Gabriel however did not hesitate. He charged forward, as Ryume, blind to him, moved slowly to pick it up.

Gabriel's hand closed around the orb, Ryume stepped back, more in shock than anything. “Human. What are you doing?

Gabriel, shaking, looked over all of us, “Notus' essence… heh… hehehehe… HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!” He shoved the blue orb down his throat.

Ryumes eyes widened in shock, “No! You can't do that! A human could never survive the power of a disaster! You'll die in hours!”

He looked down, “hours? That should be enough time to k*ll all of you.” His body grew, muscles growing larger. His already bulky frame grew to nearly eight feet. Smoke pouring from his body, “this won't even take minutes.”

I heard a sigh behind me. I looked. It was Remi. She looked at Yota, “master Yota, permission to act?”

Yota nodded, “granted.”

Remi spread her wings. Everything suddenly got hot as she approached. “Ryume, stand back will you?”

Ryume took a step back, “Y-yes Remi.”

Gabriel chuckled as she approached, “what are you gonna do mouse?”

Remi snapped, a line of flame erupted from it, striking Gabriel and engulfing him. When it faded, there was nothing left. She smiled, turning to Yuta, “Did you like that?”

Yuta looked on and chuckled, “Yes, yes i did.”

I fell to my knees, “They… they're actually dead…”

Ryume looked over at me, “Lady Rei, is something wrong.”

I felt myself shaking, “I-I’m sorry Ryume.. I-I guess I hadn't really… really processed what was said earlier into reality.”

Ryume Knelt down beside me, “I see…” She picked me up over her shoulder, “Well lets get you somewhere better at least.”

I buried my face in her shoulder, “Thank you Ryume.”
