*Noelle and others arrive at the capital and find Finral*

Noelle:Hey Finral!

Finral:*Trying to remain cool* Oh hey Noelle.

Noelle:Hows everything going?

Finral:Good.

Noelle:So whe-

*Vanessa walks out and doesn't see Noelle and the others*

Vanessa:C'mon Finral. We can't miss Owen's report.

Finral:Vanessa you-!

Noelle:Owen's report!? What happened!?

Vanessa:Noelle!?

Finral:Dammit. The cats out of the bag now.

Noelle:What do you mean!?

Finral:I'll show you.

*Finral opens a portal as the all go through*

Owen:Oh there you guys are.

Finral:How are they doing?

Owen:They are both out of commission.

Finral:I see.

*Finral notices Noelle's face go pale as she violently opens the door*

Vanessa:Noelle wait-!

*Noelle opens the door to see Asta asleep with cast for his broken arms and neck.*

Noelle:Asta!!

Owen:I wouldn't-

Slayer:*Very faintly and in a scratchy voice* He can't..hear you..Noelle.

Noelle:S-Slayer?!

*Noelle sees Slayer in a bed with deep red bandages around his chest and is being pumped full of healing magic*

Luck:We should leave.

Everyone:Agreed.

*Everyone leaves only leaving Noelle,Asta,and Slayer*

Noelle:*Tearing up* Wh-What happened to you guys?

Slayer:W-well..A-Asta is..in a c-coma..a-and I got..i-impaled..with a.. s-sword..t-through my chest.

*Noelle scans the room and sees a body with a tarp over it*

Noelle:*in fear*W-whos that??

Slayer:H-He..d-didn't make it.

Noelle:Who!?!

Slayer:G-Gauche.

Noelle:*With tears*W-what?

*With Vanessa and Acier at the base sharing booze*

Vanessa:You doing okay?

Acier:I can't stop thinking about what I saw yesterday when I woke up.

Vanessa:Me either. I'll miss Gauche but seeing Slayer do that was more heartbreaking than anything else.

Acier:Yeah.

*Yesterday after the battle and Yami was captured*

[Acier POV]

Vanessa:SLAYER!

Me:What happened?

*Running to Grey and Gauche only to see Grey crying*

Me:Grey is he?

Grey:*Crying*

*Vanessa trips*

Me:Vanessa you okay?!
