Iku sat on the floor for a bit, watching Lavender and Tay talk about stuff. He thought they were talking about the roses or something, no. Obviously it would be those kids possibly ruining Lavender's plans. Them only talking about it only made Iku feel more uncomfortable. Then again, he wasn't comfortable here in the first place. Lavender then opened a portal call and had a chat with the gang, giving his decision on what to do with those kids. "Miki, Autumn, Jay? You all here?" Lavender asked. "Yeah! Except Jay. She went to someone for a surprise!" Autumn answered. "We're guessing it'll be someone we don't know but she knows." Miki said. Lavender gave off an disappointed expression. "Anyways, about those kids," Lavender started, "I know what to do with those kids." "What do we do? Do we spare them? If so, that's bOOOOOORRRRIIIIING!" Autumn guessed. "N-no. Idiots. You three are going to get rid of them." Lavender said. "So you mean..?" Miki asked. "Yes, you're going to kill them. Get them off our tracks." Lavender said, smiling at the thought of murder. Iku sat there as he overheard the conversation. His expression was filled with fear, and regret. There goes his kid. Gone. And Iku couldn't do anything about it.

Autumn jumped up and down with glee. "Great! We'll tell Jay and we'll begin." Miki said, as she hung up. Tay and Lavender started to laugh psychotically. Iku knew his son was in danger. "Aw, what's the problem, Iku? Not having fun with the thought of murder?" Tay asked, sinisterly. "Your friends are going to kill my son. How am I supposed to be happy about that?!" Iku yelled. "Oh, one of those kids is your son?" Lavender said. "YES I'M PRETTY SURE I TOLD YOU THIS BEFORE!" Iku yelled again. "Well, I guess there's no turning back now!" Lavender said, as he smiled at Iku.

Iku hated this. His own son was in danger. He shouldn't have taken the Soul Flower, he should have left this place when he had the chance. Does he still have that chance..?

Iku had enough of this flower murder bullshit. He had to get out of there. But first, a distraction. "So, uh Lavender?" Iku started, "What's your relationship with Tay?" Lavender and Tay got confused on why the sudden topic change. "Pretty great! Lavender is an amazing friend and leader and-!" Tay blabbered off and getting Lavender in the conversation. This is my chance. Iku thought, as he ran to the cave entrance, but stopped when he ran into Lavender. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked. "Away from here..." Iku replied, pushing Lavender out of his way. "If you think you're going to help those kids, you're wrong." Lavender said. "What do you mean-?!" Iku started, but felt a sharp pain on his back, stopping him from saying anything else. "This is why you don't make deals with suspicious looking people in the Dark Woods." Lavender laughed, as he held a knife where Iku's blood was on. Iku laid on the ground, bleeding out. As Lavender's attention was off of Iku, he ran out of the cave, injured. He had to stop those monsters from hurting those kids.

No-no was looking at the gold she earned overall the times she sold her value stuff. Her door opened, revealing a figure with dark blue hair. "HELLO CUSTOMER WHAT BRINGS...you...oh it's you." No-no said, as she popped out from her office, her voice becoming sarcastic, but her eyes were filled with shock. "Yes, I'm back...missed me?" Jay said. "No, ever since you left, I forgot you existed!" No-no replied with a smile. "Did you give two kids a map to the Dark Woods?" Jay asked, as No-no's eyes widened. "No, I don't know what you're talking about." No-no lied, as she slowly grabbed a dagger and hid it behind her back. "Sister, you don't have to lie! I promise you, I won't get mad." Jay said, smiling sinisterly. "You've changed since you went there... I can't trust you anyways." No-no said, her expression turning hateful. "Why the angry look..?" Jay spoke sinisterly, as she held a fire ball in her hand. "Simple answer, I honestly never wanted to see your face again." No-no said, as she ran up to Jay and stabbed her in the stomach. Jay looked at the dagger impaling her stomach, and looked at her sister. She laughed, as she bled out. No-no stood there, confused on why her sister wasn't feeling pain. Jay then kicked No-no away from her, and then took the dagger out of her stomach, dropping it on the ground. She then threw her fire ball at No-no. No-no immediately dodged the attack. "JESUS FUCKING CHRISTMAS WHEN THE HELL DID YOU GET POWERFUL?!" No-no yelled, as she continued dodging her sister's attacks.
