I run through the entrance to see a basic flight of stairs. They can't be normal, too easy. I scan them. The stars are made of rock mostly, though, some of the steps are made from dried mud. They looked similar so I assume people mix them up and step on the dried mud, only for them to crumble underneath them. I run up the stone steps, jumping over the mud ones, I do step on the mud to stop more robots coming after me. There's probably more upstairs and I don't know if I want anymore than that. I watch the steps crumble. I shrugged and moved to the next stage. It's a room with about ten bots. They all turned on when I entered the room, their eyes turned red and they started running at me all at once. I dogged two of them and glitched on top of one. I pressed the off button on it, making sure to cause no damage to the bot. I stand up and turn to five bots. They all started running at me and I glitched behind them clicking their off buttons. They fall to the ground and I'm faced with four new bots. I take them all down and catch my breath. I continued the tower one stage at a time. They got harder and harder as I moved on. Nothing I can't handle though. I assume the one I'm on right now is the last one, I've been on about 69 stages already. I walk into the final obstacle. I feel my heart drop as I see the final level.

A room full of mirrors. It was like the funhouses that had a ton full of mirrors that you had to escape. It was a maze. Akailo being here will make it a thousand times more difficult for me. There are most likely bots inside of this thing.

Let's get this over with.

I ran into the maze at full speed. I could hear Akailo yell for me to slow down. I ignored her for about half of the maze, taking down any bots in my path. It gathers to get annoying so when I see no bots I stop and look at her. She was catching her breath because she was forced to run with me. She is my reflection after all.  "What is it Akailo?" I coldly ask her.

"Do you know how annoying it is when you're stuck with an athletic person and you're a reflection. You were running like your life depended on it!" She complained.

"If that's all you had to say, I'll be leaving now."

"NO- no... I wanted to apologize. I've been thinking about what I said to all those months ago, I guess I was just so ready to talk to you and get a bond with you. When you ended up hating me and ignoring me. I was bitter about it. I just wanted to make you feel like I felt. Useless, disgusting, a waste of space, things like that. I don't expect you to forgive me. But please, give me a chance." She cried. I stood there in shock. I've never seen her this emotional before. I can't forgive her that quickly but I'll try to give her a change to prove herself. I sighed.

"Akailo, you've made numerous mistakes, made me feel like I deserved to die. I might regret this later, but I'm deciding to let you prove yourself. Don't let me down." I replied. I could see the happiness flood over her body. I started crying again.

"Thank you thank you thank you! I won't let you down again. I promise!"

"Alright. Now let me get out of this maze."

"Got it. I'll shut up now!"

I chuckled and started to run through the rest of the maze. Many bots were littered across it, though I destroyed them all. I see two doors waiting for me. I walked up to them. One of them had light coming out of the bottom creak. One of them had darkness coming out from the bottom. Anyone with the average mindset would think that the dark one would be the right door out, because it would be dark out by now. Though this maze wasn't for average thinkers. It was made to test your problem solving skills. They probably put a light on the other side of the light door. Making it seem like the wrong one. I walk towards the light one. I put my hand on the door handle, I take a deep breath and turn it.

I'm greeted by my very own sensei. He was sitting next to a big light. I looked at it and chuckled. I return to the gaze of Aizawa. He had a small smile on his tired face.
