The situation was growing increasingly dire, and Reo seemed to relish it. " If this continues, it'll be a sticky situation. This means that you still have power and energy. " He crossed his arms and smirked as he taunted us, claiming that we had used ourselves as bait, which would ultimately go to waste.

" Do you think we'll let those two go?" he asked with a sinister chuckle. "Those two will be captured sooner or later," he added, taunting us further.

I glared at the man, but they were unaware that I had created a barrier around Mikan and Permy.

Reo raised an eyebrow and looked at me, intrigued. " This girl, she's new. I'd like to know your Alice." I shook my head, refusing to reveal my Alice.

Natsume, trying to divert their attention, remarked, " You said those two would be captured eventually, but they're probably already gone."

This piqued their interest, and they turned their confused gazes toward Natsume. " If I self-destruct now, it'll only be us, " Natsume declared, preparing to detonate his flames.

Just as Natsume was about to unleash his Alice's power, a blinding light appeared in front of us. " Stop!" Mikan shouted, using her Nullification Alice to completely nullify Natsume's powers.

" what-..." they looked confused. The men were baffled by this sudden turn of events, and I breathed a sigh of relief that Mikan had stopped Natsume. I could have acted too, but it would have exposed me, and Natsume and I had agreed that I should not use my other Alices except for my water ability.

Reo then used his Alice to weaken Natsume, rendering him even more powerless. " Go, Mikan!" I shouted. Mikan couldn't leave him behind, as he was her partner. In her moment of desperation, she scooped up a handful of dirt and flung it at Reo, then ran away while supporting Natsume to escape.

Reo was livid, rubbing his eyes and shouting, " They're escaping!" I used my water manipulation to fend off the other men while Mikan fled with Natsume.

" I won't let you," I declared. Reo mocked me, questioning the usefulness of my "pathetic" water Alice. " And what does your little water alice do. "

" If you insist. " Annoyed by his belittlement, I conjured icicles and launched them at the men, inflicting as much damage as possible. They cried out in pain. 

Seizing the opportunity, I managed to put up a boiling water wall blocking the entrance of the warehouse after my escape, running as fast as my aching body could manage. My head was spinning, and my vision blurred. I had to keep my concentration as I am maintaining the barriers and the water wall for as long as I could.

" Not this time," I murmured, determined to keep moving forward.

" Ah! Stay back! " I heard someone scream, and I recognized Mikan's voice. They must have encountered a new threat.

" Oi, I found the two!" a man's voice echoed. I raced down the stairs and found two men standing over Mikan and Natsume, holding a metal pole menacingly.

" You!" I shouted, drawing the man's attention. With a furious swing of my fist, I hurled water at the other man's body, that pierced through his abdomen, leaving a bloody pool before he fell unconscious.

" Don't you touch her, I'm warning you," I gritted my teeth, stepping in front of Mikan protectively. She lacked combat abilities, and I needed to shield both of them in my weakened state.

" What do you think you're doing, kid?" the man laughed feeling unconcerned for his injured teammate and pulled Mikan by her jacket.

" No!" Mikan struggled, trying to free herself from the man's tight grasp, but the man pushed her to the ground without scathing her that much because of the barrier but eventually fainted from shock.
