*Bandit hideout; Legon City*

***

All the members of the Sapphire Dawn were staring at the building right before Gale showed up.

"...What the hell..?"

Gale stood idle as he witnessed the destruction the building had suffered. Konami was catching her breath after causing havoc a few minutes earlier.

"What happened here?"

"K-Konami...she has powers?!" Toru asked.

"The building...and everything inside it..."

Gale walked to her and noticed the ruins she prompted. "Konami, did you do this?"

Gradually, she turned to him, her eyes beaming with spiritas. "Gale... I'm going to be a Last Hero..."

Thud!

She passed out on Gale's shoulder, and he took her to the others. "Alright, guys. This can be considered a job well done. We will discuss this matter further at the base. For now, Let's leave before we attract any unwanted attention."

Nobody had anything to say against his order, so they all left obediently.

*10 minutes later*

The Rebirth guild arrived at the scene after a report from one of the civilians.

"Martin...do you see all of this?" Bobby asked. "A whole building squashed to thin air. That has to be some strength to do this much damage."

Lennox and Yamato were checking for any survivors or clues.

"Any luck, you two?" Martin asked.

"Apart from mass destruction, not much was left of anybody," Lennox said.

"By what I can assume..." Yamato's eyes began to glow as he picked up one of the bandit's arms.

"EWW!! DROP THAT!" Gonzales commanded as he vomited.

He squeezed it to allow some blood to fall on Gonzales's hand. "AAAAAHHHHH!!!"

"STOP BEING A BABY AND DO YOUR JOB!"

"He suppressed the urge to vomit, took a deep breath, and composed himself.". "T-This is why I hate my...prowess?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and came close to him.

"They were afraid of losing someone—their boss! And...a big guy—I can't tell who he is...but he was annoyed about their presence."

"That must be Chiampa, and Motoroshi was the boss they were waiting for," Martin answered him.

"A guy walked in. They are laughing at him...but wait, the big guy is glad all of a sudden. And five other people barged in from there...he died after that."

"Dammit. This means that a group ambushed them. Can you find any more detail?" Lennox asked as he kept writing this down.

"Alright, but we'll need a new corpse."

So they all moved the broken pieces around to find something.

"GAH!"

A loud gasp for air was heard under the gravel of concrete. "H-HELP ME!"

"He's still alive! Bobby, help me take him out."

Bobby ate a Demonico, and his body began to increase in mass. With one swoop, the bandit was free.
