The crew of Yui Hirasawa, Tainaka Ritsu, Jun Suzuki and Azusa Nakano reached their destination; a cold suburban area in the South of Tokyo. Yui had an extra winter scarf just so she wouldn't get TOO cold. For once, Mio wasn't to blame for the change in surroundings.
"Here it is..." Jun said, standing in front of the gate of what looks like a run-down apartment. The roof hadn't been fixed, or preferably, shoddily fixed with just two pieces of 2-by-4's nailed to fill up the gap.
"...Sure looks inviting, huh?" Ritsu joked, which prompted Azusa to elbow Ritsu's hip. "Ow! What?"
"This is not the time for sarcasm, Ritsu. One of our friends is in there... and if we don't help her, she's done for." Azusa said. The dark tone didn't help ease Ritsu's mind.
"Shut it, Azusa... I don't need a reminder for our mission."
"We're not letting her disappear." Yui reassured. "I'd rather die than let Mugi-chan disappear from this Hour AND the world. If we can help her awaken to her power, she might just be a great asset to this team."
"You kidding, Yui? She's always welcome to this team."
"...You're right about that, but it wouldn't matter if she's gone from this world." Yui said as she opened the gate.
~Flashback~
"WHAT?" Ritsu screamed out, after hearing the name of the one in danger belonging to one of her friends.
"It's true. Tsumugi-senpai's the one who's about to disappear." Jun said firmly, pissing Ritsu off further.
"You'd best be screwing with me, Jun! Your people can't be right! It can't be Mugi who's disappearing!"
"Unfortunately... it's true. Tsumugi's the unlucky one to disappear should she not awaken to her power. Word is... the Shadows have started roaming."
"Shadows? Like... what we see in cartoons and all that?" Yui asked.
"Sorry, you're not gonna be so lucky once you see them. They attack any humans close to them and steal a piece of their heart, eradicating defenseless humans from living the Dead Hour. The problem WE'RE facing now is that someone might have taken control over the Shadows. I fear they're forcing them to do more than just stealing a heart piece from everyone." Jun explained.
"So those were the creatures that attacked me while I came to rescue you..." Azusa pondered. "Still, they were easy to face. They're just pretty small, and some looked like mini toy soldiers."
"Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. Let me see if I get this right... these 'Shadows' are attacking people so that... they can rid people of the Dead Hour? That makes sense. Why not we just get attacked by these Shadows and be on our merry way? I mean..." That's when Jun cut her off.
"Sure, if you like being a zombie in the next life." The fear of the drummer becoming a zombie somewhat shocked her.
"E-ehehe... well, I guess... wait... you mean to say anyone who got their heart piece stolen is gonna end up a zombie?"
"Well... only the people who existed in the Dead Hour, which means only a select few. Surprisingly, some of these people weren't ever recognized as Numbers, which intrigues me." Jun continued, resting her chin on her hand.
"So Mugi-chan's in danger... anyone know her location now?" Yui added, trying to veer away from the topic at hand.
"What I heard is that Mugi-senpai's family got robbed, so they're left with nothing. After that... her family disowned her. She's probably left to live the streets." Azusa said, having a fearful tone.
