Mitch has Jerome's arms around his neck, assisting him in walking. "The loud explosion definitely happened here," he stated as he examined the damaged surroundings. "Where is everyone...?"

"Don't tell me... they got caught up in it..." Jerome muttered. He raises his head, trying to peer around. By now, his face was bruised and swollen from the damage that Lust affected him.

"They must have started fighting without us..." Mitch said. He noticed someone lying down on the ground. His stomach drops when he recognizes it to be Jason. "Ja-Jason!"

Mitch came over to Jason as fast as he could while supporting Jerome. He sets Jerome down as he flips Jason over to his back.

"Hey, are you alright?!" He asked.

Jason's eyes fluttered open. "Mi... tch..." He rasped out. "You... you're here..." He held up his hand and placed it on Mitch. "Let me... heal..."

Mitch grabs Jason's hand to press it back against his own chest. "Heal me?! You're in worse shape than me!"

"I'm... fine..." Jason whispered, hoarsely as he struggled to place his hand back on Mitch. "Really..."

"Keep healing yourself." Mitch told him. "Do you know where everyone else is?"

Jason nodded. "Near... by... I'll show..." He tries to get up, wincing loudly.

"Don't move. Just stay here with Jerome, I'll look for them." Mitch said. He hurried off, calling out his friend's names.

"Guys! Sky... Seto... Ian! Everyone!" Mitch pauses, spotting two figures in the distance. It was Quentin and Ian who had also noticed him, waving him over. Mitch ran over to them to see Sky on the ground next to them.

Ian and Quentin had torn sleeves, trying their best to bandage up Sky's wound.

In addition, Herobrine's unmoving body was nearby. "It's... over...?" Mitch mumbled.

Sky strained a smile. "We won."

"Mitch, you're alright!" Quentin exclaimed. "Is Jerome and everyone else with you?"

"Jerome's next to Jason right now..." Mitch frowned. "Isn't everyone else with you?"

"I hid Ty somewhere safe." Ian said. "I thought Seto, Brice, and Ant were with you two..."

"I haven't seen them..." Mitch's frown deepened as he realized there were some important figures missing. "Where's Envy and Sloth?"

The three Virtues' faces fell and Mitch immediately knew something had gone wrong.

Quentin nodded solemnly and the look on Sky's and Ian's faces was enough for Mitch to put together that the Sins were gone.

Mitch looks down at the ground, feeling guilty. If he arrived faster, perhaps the Sins would be still alive. And maybe no one would be as injured.

A hand was firmly placed on Mitch's shoulder. He glanced over to see Ian had stood up with a small smile on his face. "Don't worry about it, Mitch." He told him. "The Sins did everything for us to win."

Sky sat up with a grimace. "Let's focus on recovering and then after that let's celebrate."

"Sky, I haven't finished wrapping yet!" Quentin scowled as he tightened the fabric. "Let's check up on Jason and Ty and then find the rest of us."

Mitch told Ian about what happened as they went to where Ty was. Quentin and Sky made their way to Jerome and Jason. Jerome waved at them with a wide smile which hurt but he didn't mind.

There was some shouting in the distance. "Seto! W-wait!!" Three figures appeared in the distance, running in the Virtues' direction.

"Sky look..." Quentin pointed over to them. "Isn't that Seto? And Ant and Brice!"
