As Night faced Adam, she fired a barrage of bullets at him. However, with a single swing of his sword, the bullets melted into nothing. Without hesitation, Adam charged at her. Night swiftly drew her dagger, meeting his attack head-on. The sheer force of the clash sent her flying back to the surface. Adam followed her immediately, but when he reached the top, she was nowhere to be seen.

  “You’re probably wondering how I found you,” Night’s voice echoed from the shadows of the woods. “It’s simple. I had Yeagers tracking your every move, and they led me here. When Griffin turned off his dark sense… well, you know the rest.”

  Adam scanned the area, trying to pinpoint her location. Her voice seemed to be coming from the darkness around him, yet he couldn’t see her. Then, a flicker of movement in the trees caught his eye. Without hesitation, he sprinted toward it, ready to strike. But as soon as he got there, it vanished.

  Suddenly, Adam felt her presence behind him. He whirled around, sword raised, but before he could react, Night’s foot slammed into his stomach. The force of the kick was immense, sending him flying out of the woods and off the edge of the mountain.

  Night leaped off the mountain after him, her dagger glowing with energy. “Flame Style: Universal Flames,” Adam thought, swinging his sword mid-air. A surge of fire erupted toward Night, but she smiled calmly. With a swift movement of her dagger, she sliced through the flames, dissipating them. Adam’s eyes widened in disbelief.

  She moved faster than he could process, reaching him in mid-air. Grabbing him by the neck, she slammed him into the ground with devastating force. Adam’s body ached, blood pooling from his wounds. “That impact… it almost killed me. But when she grabbed my neck, it almost felt… protective?” he thought, confusion clouding his mind.

  Summoning his strength, Adam darted at high speed behind her. His eyes locked onto the small floating orb beside her—the device that allowed her to summon weapons. “If I destroy that, I can stop her,” he thought. He unleashed an attack. “Flame Style: Flame Pierce!” But Night blocked the strike with her dagger, countering his move effortlessly.

  With fluid precision, she tossed her dagger into the air and retrieved a sword from the orb. Her movements were seamless, and before Adam could react, she slashed across his chest. Blood sprayed into the air as he stumbled back. In a single motion, she caught her dagger mid-fall and kicked him hard in the head, sending him tumbling.

  “You’ve put up one hell of a fight,” she said, her voice steady but firm. “I heard that Flame Style users go nuclear when they die, so I’d rather not kill you.” She kicked him again, keeping him down. “But thanks for the effort… both of you, giving your all against a forty-year-old like me.”

  She paused for a moment, lost in a memory. “Oh yeah,” she murmured, almost to herself. “I named my daughter Kioko. It means ‘kindness.’” A flicker of emotion crossed her face before she turned back toward the mountain.

  Night climbed back to the bunker’s entrance and entered swiftly. She used the orb to transport Natalia’s body into the machine inside. Afterward, she exited the bunker and set her sights on a new destination. It was time to find Luna.

  “you're finally here Night, it took you a while to get here,” Luna said.

  “Sorry about that Luna, but it’s finally here,” night said. She snapped her fingers to the orb and brought out Natalia‘s dead body. “Oh so it is really her, good job Night,” Luna said.

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  “Thanks and now for the money,” she asked.

  “Oh yes, here I will even put in a thousand dollars too,” she said. She held out her phone and then when both of their phones touched each other the money was transferred to Night, “thanks a lot, how about we get something to eat now,” Night asked.

  “yeah…no , this is the last time we will be meeting each other, I don't need you any more,” Luna said. She disappeared into a portal taking nataila’s body.

  “Ok understood, see ya in hell then,” Night said. As she walked away she went on a trail getting back to a teleporter machine. While she was walking she was it started to rain but it doesn't matter herself her mind was wandering herself why did her daughter came back into her mind after fighting adam, but she shrugs it off as when she reach point of the end of the trees,

  "Hey, where do you think you're going?" a voice called out. Night stopped and turned around, spotting Griffin standing there, grinning. As the rain was hitting his body blood was swooping in the ground.

  "You can’t be fucking serious," Night muttered.

  "Fuck yes this is serious," Griffin replied, grinning even wilder .

  Night's confusion lasted only a moment before realization dawned. "You can heal yourself now," she retorted.

  "Bingo! When you stabbed me in the heart, I channeled all my energy into creating flux energy to heal myself . Think about it like this: in order to heal ourself you must use your soul to create new parts of it once I fingered that out I was able to heal myself even regenerating my leg. Easier said than done. I've never been able to do that until now!" Griffin exclaimed.

  "He's talking too much. Is he high?" Night wondered.

  "Your going to die now! because you didn't chop my head off! Or you didn't stab me deeper in the head!" Griffin yelled.

  "Are you sure you want to do this? You don't look too well," Night said, drawing her dagger from the floating orb. Griffin clutched his head but then looked up with wild eyes.

  "No, I feel fine. No, really I am fine. I’ve never felt any better!" he yelled. Night charged at him at full speed, swinging her dagger, but Griffin vanished in an instant.

  Still moving swiftly, Night turned and saw Griffin hanging upside down. "Dark flame style, Dark Flame beam," Griffin thought. Flames shot from his fingers, propelling Night into Lake Mcdonald destroying multiple trees. She landed on a rock.

  Night stood up, started to stretch her body to check for injuries. "None of my bones are broken," she thought.

  She glanced up to see Griffin floating mid-air, gazing skyward with a smile.

  “What a monster,” she thought. Night pulled out a chain from the orb and attached it to the dagger, she started to spin the chain rapidly. "Something feels wrong," she thought. Griffin turned his head toward her. "No, everything is alright. I will kill you!" she yelled, releasing the chain blade. Griffin dodged, and the blade shattered any nearby trees. Annoyed, she swung again, but Griffin evaded it once more.

  "I'm sorry, Natalia. I’m not mad on your behalf. I don't know why but I just don't hate anyone right now, is it because the world feels so good right now?"Griffin thought. He looked down at Night who was about to throw another attack. “You're from the Sora family aren't you, that's how you knew my abilities so well,” he thought. Griffin started to smile. "I’ll tell you this once: God alone has honored us dark flame users to be the strongest... Dark Flame Style, Dark Death, five percent output !" he declared. He unleashed the flames, destroying the chains. Night couldn't predict what happened next.

  "I don't accept a job without getting paid. I usually say this and walk off. I stopped showing respect to myself and others after my husband died. But why? Why is this pride coming back now? I wanted to destroy my family name Sora due to how badly they treated me. I wanted to bring them to their knees, " Night thought. The left side of her upper body was missing, mcdonald lake evaporated into nothingness yet she stood with a look of defiance as Griffin landed onto the ground. "Any last words?" Griffin asked.

  "Nah," Night replied, her eyes widening with a sudden memory. "My daughter is going to be sold off in two or three years," she said. Night died standing, a smile on her face. Griffin looked at her body as it stood still.

  Griffin walked away and found the place where Nataila's dead body was. The only thing left there was just her earrings. He picked them up and left the bunker. As he left it he saw Adam running up the mountain. “Griffin is that you?” he asked.

  “Hey, you don't look so good,” Griffin said with a smirk.

  “It's my fault that Nataila died, I'm sorry,” Adam said. He looked down.

  “It wasn't your fault, it was mine we should’ve gone here straight away,” Griffin said. He walked up to Adam and healed his wounds. With his flux energy. Griffin walked away. While looking down to the ground. Adam followed him. And they both are heading back to Yeager force base to tell about the mission.
