The year had ended, more than three hundred stripes appeared on the book's pages, counting down to the day that their revenge would be fulfilled. They walked through the tunnel, which was cracked on some parts, not uttering a single word. They had talked about everything in that year so they didn't have anything to say now. They were ready. The only thing they had to say, were luck wishes, because none of them knew if they were gonna survive.

"Who says it?", asked Takobu looking at the end of the tunnel, where the golem was. He was looking at the stripes repeatedly, as his grandmother did.

"I'm not good with speeches", said Yorokobu. He had his knife in his left hand, squeezing the grip as it could fall any second. In his back he had a spear made out of Steve's aura. He used his mother's pants to tie it to his back.

"Have you ever delivered a speech?", they both asked, already knowing what his response would be. He shrugged his shoulders in response, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Steve sighed and said: "Well I will". He cleared his throat and with a confident voice said: "Well, a year passed and we are still here, and now we are gonna fulfill our revenge. Let's give it our best! and let's STICK TO THE PLAN!".

...

Suddenly, the Kobu brothers burst out laughing and between breaths they said: "You aren't good with speeches either", which made Steve feel a bit embarrased.

Later, when they calmed down, they continued walking. Steve, each a minute or two, said that they must stick to the plan he had worked on so they could win, and each time, the Kobu brothers said that they knew. They walked. And walked. They realized how much they had ran away from the golem. The walls weren't cracked anymore and they didn't seem to care. They just kept walking or "Saving energy", how Steve called it. 

By each step they took, they grew more nervous. They still had incrusted on his memories how the whole bottom half of Celta's body was crushed. How it bled. How she had a calm face even if she had to endure such a pain. Takobu started trembling, so Steve put his hand on Tako's shoulder and reassured him that everything would be okay. He somehow was able to be at the same height as him, but he didn't think much of it.

Ten minutes later, they were in front of the room where the golem was. The Kobu brothers were trembling. They remembered everything they had lived through and how their grandma was always there for them. Takobu wasn't able to make the book float properly.

When Steve saw that, he asked "Do you guys want to do this other da-", but he was cut by Yorokobu who rushed to were the ear was with Takobu following him. "I'LL KILL THIS THING!!", screamed Yorokobu as he dug his knife into the ear's skin and Takobu launched a wid spell to it, cutting a hole.

When their grandma died, they sunk in desperation. They didn't know what to do. So when Steve made them remember their grandma's death-wish, they turned all those emotions into the desire for revenge. Those overflowing emotions were held inside their minds, growing by each passing day. Now, they were being expelled out of their bodies violently as they saw everything and anything but Steve as an enemy.

"IDIOTS, REMEMBER THE PLAN!!", screamed Steve as he rushed to where they were, knowing that the golem would fall on them. He managed to push them out of the way barely a second before the giant golem made a huge cloud of dust. Yorokobu pushed Steve off him, grabbed the spear and threw it with all his strength, but it bounced of the golem; and Takobu threw a sharp rock he had created, but the same happened. They were now in front of the golem, without the planned formation, and they didn't have the main weapon they would use, weapon Steve created using all aura balls he could create. The Kobu brothers realized the mistake they had made. So they ran. They ran away from the golem, not being able to make a single scratch on him. But it was cathing up.
