Army's com buzzed, and then buzzed again. Emperor died and Avi, too. Another life to kill Mask for. He'd waited long enough for this. He only brought Goggles along so he'd have something to do, he could care less for the blue boy.

He knew where Mask would be: The woodland mansion. He knew the path well and followed it. Goggles got lost along the way a few times but in the end, the two stood in front of the mansion, together. Mask had repaired it somewhat, it looked like.

Army ran in, aware of Goggles following. He was met by Mask grinning, sword in hand. "So, the little fox brought backup? That doesn't seem fair." She said.

Army narrowed his eyes. "I don't care about that. We need to fight."

"Not even hiding your intentions anymore? Fair enough. Ditch the blue boy."

Without even thinking, Army turned to Goggles and drew his sword. Goggles held his hands up. "H-hey, w-wait a second!"

Army didn't respond, only slicing Goggles across the stomach. His com buzzed and he turned to Mask. "You have no excuse now. You need to pay for what you've done."

Mask grinned. "You've waited long enough." He pointed his sword at Army. "Come at me, then."

Army rushed at Mask, swinging his blade and getting it blocked, before swinging again. "Why won't you just die already?! You deserve it!"

"Blinded by revenge, I see?" Mask asked, blocking Army's hit before attempting to strike his arm. Army dodged it and managed to slash Mask's cheek.

"Shut up!" Army swung and struck Mask's other cheek, dodging a hit of Mask's before kicking him onto the ground. "Shut up before I make you!"

She chuckled darkly, springing up before knocking Army back. "Like that's gonna happen!"

Army rushed at Mask who prepared to block a hit. Instead, Army kicked him down from the side, and held him down by a foot on his chest and a knife at her throat. "It will... Any last words?"

"You fight good." Mask said. "Good luck against Skull. If you loose now I'm gonna kill you when we wake up."

Army chuckled, before thrusting his sword through Mask's throat. Blood spurted from the wound. Army moved his foot and stabbed Mask's chest. More blood coated his blade and himself.

Army's com buzzed, and he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. His body felt tired, and he collapsed onto the ground next to Mask.

"I d-did it, Aloha..." Army whispered. "I a-avenged you... Y-you've got your justice...w-we won.."

He felt a ghostly kiss on his lips, and smiled. "We're almost done..."
