"And I dare you to try and catch us!" Prism said, "Hup-hup Adrien!"

Adrien understood the command as he started to sprint down the alleyway as Rades hitched a ride on David's back. "DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!!" He yelled as the corpses began to change but before Blasie's attacks bulldozed them away.

"Hey eyepatch!" Blaise called out. "You're dancing with me first!"

"Like hell--I AM, IDIOT!!" Rades yelled. Before Blaise could react he ended up getting hit away by a tendril from David causing him to fly right into Avalon as she stood up. "OH COME ON!!" He shouted as he felt his ankle had snapped.

"CHEW ON THAT HOUND DOG!" Rades shouted before he disappeared down in the alleyway where Prism and Nolan had gone.

"NO!" Erin shouted, "Come on! We gotta--"

They could here Karasu cry in pain as he had been blasted back by Hywel as he had used one of his spells; he ended up rolling across the floor as he looked to be sheared and burned.

"KARASU!" The three of them shouted.

"ANIKI NO!!" Sachiko exclaimed.

Hywell gave a laugh as he said "You brats ain't going nowhere.." he gave his grimoire a wave as it floated by his side; he started to step towards him, "I'm gonna teach you a lesson in hell one after another. And when i'm done with you a lot i'll be going after your friends, Arai. One by one,starting with that Anti-Magic brat followed by that damn royal reject."

Karasu's expression hardened at this as he knew fully well, he had been talking about Asta and Feodora. He could feel his arm throb slightly as he gripped the hook sword in his hand.

"Erin, Blaise, Avalon--" Karasu said to them as he held onto the weapon tight just as Hywel had gotten closer, "--Look after my sister--And tell Captain Yami, that I'm sorry."

"What?" Avalon said, shocked.

Before they could have a chance to react, Karasu let out a fierce cry before he thrusted the hook sword through Hywel's shoulder just missing chest as his bandaged arm moved slightly; it was his turn to let out a shriek of agony drawing the corpses that had been nearby. Karasu's own clothing soon became stained with his blood.

"If you want my life that bad--" Karasu said as he took the sword out of his shoulder, practically kicking him off, "--Then try and take it from me."

Karasu soon turned and despite the pain in his arm, and the fuzziness in his head, he took off running towards the flames that seemed to have died. "Aniki!" Sachiko called out.

"Karasu no!!" Avalon shouted.

"He's insane!!" Blaise yelled.

Hywel only glared before he gave chase, "Running like the rat you are!"

The thieves could only watch helplessly as Hywel ran after Karasu with a rage filled aura. Though before either of them could do anything they suddenly found themselves surrounded by corpses once again. "Oh perfect!" Blaise said, "And we've got to deal with this again!"

"Aniki!" Sachiko said with worry, "I have to go help him!!"

She managed to get free from Erin's grasp before she ran in the direction her brother had gone as it had surprised them.

"SACHIKO!!" Avalon shouted as she was able to run after her, "WAIT!!"

"Hey--!" Dylan yelled before Erin pulled her back just as she was about to run after her.
