Takemichi looked down with wide eyes as he stood stiff.

'Was that...Sanzu...manipulated the tracks...and killed everyone?!'

"This is bad!" He exclaimed.

Kakucho shot him a confused look from the sudden yell. He then gasped as the blonde started running away.

"Wait, Takemichi!" He called.

"Don't follow me, Kaku-chan!" Takemichi yelled.

'This is dangerous!' He anxiously thought as sweat trailed down his face.

"Huh?! Are you making some kind of joke right now?!" Kakucho ran after him.

'This is terribly bad! The vision I had must've started already! If I don't stop Sanzu, everyone will die! I saw the vision the moment I touched the tracks, which means Sanzu must be at the end of them!' Takemichi thought.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Kakucho yelled.

"Please! Just let me go this time, Kaku-chan!" Takemichi told him. "Shit!"

'I must stop Sanzu no matter what! Kaku-chan will never believe me if I try to explain the situation!'

Just then, he was thrown back by Kakucho who grabbed him by the collar.

"Tell me what's going on, Takemichi!" Kakucho demanded.

"Move, Kakucho." Takemichi rose onto his knees.

"Huh?" Kakucho furrowed his brows.

"I...will not let anyone die!" Takemichi yelled as Kakucho's eyes widened.

"Stand down, Kakucho. If I don't go, everyone will die." He said.

"What do you mean?" Kakucho furrowed his brows.

"Right now, Sanzu is manipulating the train tracks, leading them to where everyone is. The plan is to kill them all." Takemichi replied, making the other boy look at him with a stunned expression.

-----

"Is this it? Tsk! Can't they make this easier?" Sanzu stood on a train, pushing all sorts of buttons.

"Do I press this...? Oh-" He blinked.

The lights turned on and a whistle blew as the train rumbled.

"It worked!" He maniacally grinned.

"Sanzu!" He heard someone shout.

He blinked in confusion and surprise before leaning half his body out of the train, asking, "What...?"

His eyes snapped wide at the sight of two people standing a few feet away.

"Hanagaki...and Kakucho...?!" He said in disbelief. "Why are you here?!"

"It's just as Takemichi said..." Kakucho muttered.

"Sanzu...I know about your schemes." Takemichi furrowed his brows as his hands formed into tight fists.

Sanzu glared at him and said with a displeased tone, "Tsk. You irritating little shit."

"Takemichi." Kakucho spoke. "I'll lend you a hand. Let's call a truce until we get to beat the hell out of Sanzu."

"Right on!" Takemichi said with a determined expression.

"How did you know about this, Takemichi?" Kakucho questioned.

"I'm supposed to be on his side, yet even I didn't know about this. You're such a wonder, aren't you? Are you a seer or something?" He slightly grinned.
