Running through the forest, Shoto was ahead leading Wilson and Saruei as the two were getting tired, forcing Shoto to slow down and come to a halt. 

Shoto: "Why are we stopping?"

Wilson: "It's because... we're tired..."

Saruei: "My legs hurt a bit as well..."

Shoto then sighed, realizing that they won't make it to where Calli and Lukas are at this point.

Shoto: "Great. Just fucking great. What the hell are we supposed to do when Misaki is in trouble!?"

Saruei: "I get it... We want to try and get there too... However... We can't exactly keep up right now..."

Wilson: "Yeah man.... If we continue now... We might collapse before we can even see the finale."

Shoto gritted his teeth, knowing that he might have to travel on his own, however with how tired the other two are, he can't risk it. 

Shoto: "Fine. We'll rest for the time being, but I need your little drone thingy to be our eyes in the sky to watch over the current fight alright?"

Wilson: "Got it~"

Wilson then sent his little drone out into the sky as it went invisible. 

Saruei: "With that done now.... What the hell do we do now..?"

???: "Glad to see I found some others."

The three were confused on who just showed up, only to be revealed as Zai who was standing on top of one of the branches.

Wilson: "Oh my god.... It's Kukyona Sonzai!"

Shoto: "I can see that Wilson."

Saruei: "Hey there Zai!"

Zai then leapt down from the branch as he approached them, being rather relaxed. 

Shoto: "What have you been doing when we needed you..?"

Sonzai: "Well to be honest, I was just helping out others I encountered along the way. Helped out a fair amount of 1A, 1B and 1C students while I'm at it. By the way, what do you mean when you needed me?"

Zai was a little confused on what Shoto meant as Saruei answered for the others.

Saruei: "In truth... We ended up in a little scuffle..."

Sonzai: "Scuffle?"

Zai blinked a few times, trying to understand, though at this point Shoto could tell that Zai is being quite dense at the moment.

Shoto: "What she means is that one of your classmates tried to kill us!"

Shoto yelled at Zai, trying to finally get the message across, making Zai realize what Shoto meant.

Sonzai: "Oh~ So you mean Calli?"

Saruei: "Afraid so..."

Sonzai: "Which direction did she head?"

Wilson: "Oh that way."

Wilson then pointed in the direction where Calli went as Zai then picked up on something while looking. He could've sworn that the power he was feeling is rather familiar, but then again, a lot of things have been falling out of place recently. 

Sonzai: "Alright, I'll go investigate and deal with the issue."

Saruei: "Zai."

Before Zai could walk away, Saruei immediately grabbed him by the arm, making him look at Saruei's eyes as he could noticed a glimpse of an emotion he wasn't expecting, fear.
