Toga Yagari walked towards the Hunter Association President's office. He flung the door open when he arrived.
The president raised an eyebrow. "What is the meaning of this, Yagari?"
Toga slammed his hands on the desk. "I heard the Senate plans to execute Zero. Are we just going to stand by and watch?"
The President sighed. "If Zero killed a Pureblood, there's nothing we can do."
Toga's eyes narrowed. "That pureblood princess should have been put on our list long ago! Why does Zero have to die?"
The President frowned. "Yagari, what would happen if we condoned the killing of Purebloods? You know vampire society would no longer be able to maintain law and order."
Toga scoffed and left the office.

Yuki was on patrol when a voice stopped her.
"Good evening, miss. Is this Cross Academy?" A man in a business suit and glasses stood behind her.
"You're a vampire..." Yuki pulled out her Artemis Rod and glared at him. "What do you want?"
"Where is the other guardian hiding?" The man's nails elongated as he reached for Yuki.
In that moment, Zero appeared in front of Yuki. He grabbed the man's clawed hand. "I'm here. What do you want with me?"
"Zero Kiryu..." The vampire adjusted his glasses. "By order of the Senate, I am here to execute you for the murder of Shizuka Hio. The Senate proudly protects our Pureblood masters, but you slipped through and killed Lady Shizuka. I will imprint on your brain just how precious a Pureblood vampire is to us..."
"The only way you can atone for this sin is to offer your life." The vampire sneered. "It's a cheap price to pay, isn't it?"
Zero applied pressure on the vampire's hand until there was a crack.
The vampire yelped and was thrown to the ground.
Zero stepped closer to the vampire. "Sorry...I'm not willing to pay that price."
"Even if you kill me, you will still be executed." The vampire smirked.
In seconds, three other vampires appeared before Zero and Yuki.
Yuki stood behind Zero and held Artemis in front of her. "I'll cover you."
Zero frowned. "This has nothing to do with you, Yuki. Get out of here."
"I won't!" Yuki exclaimed.
A long-haired vampire leaped towards Yuki.
The vampire with glasses jumped to his feet and leapt towards Zero
Suddenly, the long-haired vampire's throat was pierced by a whip of blood. He collapsed and his body turned into sand.
The bloody whip returned to Senri and wrapped around his body.
Vines emerged from the ground and wrapped around the vampire with glasses.
The two vampires who had been spared looked around and their eyes widened. They were surrounded by the Night Class.
"As the Senate is well aware...that woman did something so heinous that we cannot blame Zero for hunting her." Kaname stepped forward. "Why should Zero be executed? Is it to protect the so called sanctity of the Purebloods?"
Akari released the vampire that was tangled in her vines.
"Lord Kaname..." The three vampires kneeled. "We cannot accomplish our mission if you stand in our way. Please stay back...your comrades too."
