After slaying one of the four Giant Yoma, Orochi. Yukio was ready to go back. He walked away from the monster's corpse, and saw the Hanzo girls approach him.

"Yukio! What were you doing?!" Ikaruga exclaimed.

"Uh...I was doing my part." Yukio responded, as he pointed at the pipes and wire, stuck in the Yoma's chest.

"Damn, you did that in a matter of seconds?!" Katsuragi asked in awe.

"Uh..." Yukio paused.

It's because of the new time-freezing power I got, I think I'll name it...Timer.

"I don't think I should get all this attention here." Yukio said.

"Well, you did manage to stab Orochi, multiple times, within a matter of seconds. Naturally, we are curious as to how you did it." Haruka said, as the rest of the Elites approached.

"I'm not the one who brought it down though, don't pay attention to me." Yukio said, he was flattered by the attention, but he didn't want to reveal his new power. "Asuka and Homura should be around here somewhere. Let's go find them."

The girls sighed, and they searched for Asuka and Homura.

"They're over here." Yagyu shouted, the two were right behind her.

"Asuka!" The Hanzo girls exclaimed.

"Homura!" The Hebijo Elites shouted.

The Hanzo ninjas rushed to Asuka, and hugged her, as the Elites did the same to Homura. Yukio stood back, and admired the sight of all the girls, reunited after the battle.

"This is the happy ending you wanted?" The female voice in his head asked.

Yeah, that battle took everything out of me. But it was worth it, these girls deserve a peaceful life.

"You really are a foolish human." The voice said. "Well, what did you learn from this?"

I learned that good and evil isn't just black and white. I've also learned to pity people like the Elites, they've been in hell throughout their entire lives. I've only known hell for a month or so.

The voice sighed. "Is that all? Have you really only learned something so trivial?" The voice said, annoyed. "We need to discuss something. Now, what was it you called your new power? Oh yeah, Timer!"

Everything froze in place around Yukio. He looked up, and saw a portal in the sky. In the portal, he saw a woman with long black hair that reached down to her knees, and black eyes, with her pupils in the shape of a little sun, which seemed familiar to Yukio. She wore a long black dress, and she smirked as she looked down at Yukio.

What is this...this strong presence...

"I'm the voice that's been in your head this whole time. Which means I can read your mind." The woman said, as she fell from the portal, and landed on her feet.
