"What's going on?" Sheele asked.

"Please tell us there's still a ray of hope." Sayo said.

"No. Tatsumi has met his end." King San said.

Lubbock dropped to his knees.

"No! It can't be true." Lubbock said in denial.

"I'm so very sorry." King San said. "There's nothing we can do but inform his loved ones back on earth that the best of us has fallen. His poor son."

"If TJ has to hear it, should come from Mine." Bulat said.

"That isn't a bad idea." King San said.

"Then let me be the one to break the news to her." Lubbock said.

"Whatever you think best." King San said.

Lubbock then walked up behind King San.

"Place a hand on my back." King San said. 

"Right." Lubbock replied, putting a hand on King San's back.

King San then granted Lubbock telepathic access to earth.

"Hello. You guys, it's me Lubbock." Lubbock said.

On Earth:

"What? Lubbock?" Mine said.

"Yeah, I'm speaking telepathically through King San." Lubbock said.

"Mom, are you talking to yourself or King San." TJ asked.

"Actually, it's Lubbock. He's using King San like a phone." Mine said. "So, what's up with you guys?"

"Not much being dead and all." Lubbock said. "But you might want to brace yourself for this, it's about Tatsumi. First off, Torosu's no longer an issue, Tatsumi defeated him..."

"Guys, get ready to jump for joy, Lubbock just told me that Tatsumi did it! He took down Torosu for good!" Mine said.

"Really? Are you serious?" TJ said. "Alright!! Yeah!!"

"And we were worried." Leone said.

"That's Tatsumi for you." Akame smiled.

"And here I thought I couldn't love him anymore than I already do." Esdeath said to herself.

"Keep listening, there's more to it." Lubbock said. "Once, Torosu was finished, Tatsumi, he tried to get away, but Zulo exploded before he could... he's dead."

"Okay look, I would be on the ground crying my eyes out if we didn't have this last second realization." Mine chuckled.

"What the-- Mine! Tatsumi is dead! Your boyfriend, a.k.a your baby daddy is no longer with you guys!" Lubbock repeated. "He can't come back, he already died before!

"Not for long." Mine said. "We know something you don't know. The Zulians just so happened to come to earth with us. We know that our RongoRongo Books on earth don't have the required amount power to bring back someone who died on another planet, but that's only because the Zulian who brought them here didn't have enough experience with them, and unlike our Books the Zulian versions can bring people an unlimited number of times!"

King San simply shook his head.

"In other words, Tatsumi and Chelsea get the same first-class trip back home as you guys do, along with Chelsea." Mine said.

"No kidding!" Lubbock said.

"Hey, Lubbock what's up." Bulat said.

"We're getting brought back, guys along with Tatsumi and Chelsea." Lubbock said.
