"Now, there is no time to waste!" Olive alerted, breaking the peaceful moment that we were having. "The longer we wait, the more trouble and danger can reach Lady Blossom and Master Diamond. If they die, our chances of winning this battle are slim."

"Way to worsen the mood but I have to agree. No matter how many bullets I have, they will run out sooner or later and then I will have to retreat. It is dangerous for me to even consider going on this mission with you guys, I just wanted to get Olive back to you guys. Please remember that I'm young and inexperienced." Ketsui whimpered.

"So you are saying that you are a good for nothing weakling? Really?"

"W-what? No... I am not a weakling and I have worth."

"You are a weakling and you have no worth. You are naive. You are weak. You are stupid. You are but a stranger to them." Olive hissed, stepping closer to Ketsui after every insult. "You are, however, a part of the key to making this team stronger. No one can open a door if part of the key for the lock is missing after all, no matter how useless that part of the key seems to be."

Mr Plant and Alexandra looked at each before sharing a glance with me. I shrugged as I had no idea what was happening. Olive was just insulting Ketsui but now she is complimenting him.

"So.... Am I important? Your words are more confusing than the flowers that nature holds." Ketsui sobbed, now on the brink of tears.

"That," Olive pointed to Ketsui's eyes, "That shows how weak you are. Starting to cry of some petty insults thrown at you by someone with more power and experience than you? Truly pitiful. If you cry at my tiny insults which you will forget when you go to sleep or forget in a week's time, how do you expect to be able to fight people who are masters of the gun and manipulation?"

"Just because someone's feelings get hurt by insults doesn't mean that they are weak Olive!" I yelped, stepping in between the two demons. "That's completely unreasonable! Someone can be really physically strong but emotionally strong, but that doesn't take away from their true strength as a person."

"Argos, Alex has more power than everyone here. You know this but do you know what power is?"

"Of course I know what power is, it's how strong someone is-"

"Wrong. Power is having influence over someone or something and being able to change the order of events. Someone can have power by being physically strong, mentally strong, financially strong, politically strong, manipulative or even just being beautiful by society's standards. Alex has all of those and with that, he can call for anything that he wants and he gets it." Olive growled.

"Alex has all of those...?" I asked. Mr plant placed a hand on my shoulder, snapping me out of what thoughts I was thinking.

"However, what we need to do is kill him. I don't care that he takes care of everything in over one hundred voids, he is a danger to all voids but people ignore it because he's a powerful man with a pretty face."

"If that's the case, wouldn't killing him bring harm to the voids that he takes care of?" Ketsui questioned Olive.

"Think of it like this, there is an infected dog which makes the dog ferial and a cannibal. This dog was your pet when you were growing up so you have many memories with them. Kill them, the infection does carry on through their pups but you are killing your childhood best friend. Don't kill them, and more damage will come. You need to kill them."

"I understand mam...."

Olive nodded but stayed silent as she had already told us what we had to do without telling us. We need to fight back with no regrets for who we are hurting as this place is a hell where no one can be redeemed for their actions, despite people's efforts for redemption. This was always going to be difficult and this would come sooner or later to everyone, but if I never met Mr Plant, I could have stayed out of this mess....
