If you thought I was gonna die. You are partly right. Here's what happened: I was almost killed but one of my "Fangirls" healed me with her basic healing Arts. I passed out from blood loss for a whole week.
There has been no news about Yui until now.
--------------------------------------5 minutes after Nagaro Wakes up ---------------------------------------------
...
"Get me my bandage!"
"Nagaro! Sit down you're not fully healed." The Nurse said.
It's hard waiting. I have been worrying about Yui and Aimi this entire time i've been in the army ER. I try to stand but my arm stops me. The wound in my stomach is fine, but that poison really got me. It turned my whole arm a light blue since it was kinda healed. I jumped up fast and stood up. The feeling in my arm was short but Painful. I limped over to my bandage and grabbed it. It was glowing a light red. My power levels are very low and faint. I wrap it around my hand and my hand starts to sting.
"N-Nagaro! What are you doing out of bed!" The nurse yelled at me while trying to get the bandage from my arm.
"Please!" I begged. "I need to look for her."
The nurse's face looked scared for a minute, Then her emotions softened. She turned around and unlocked the infirmary door. She pointed outside and looked at me with a determined expression. I nodded with agreement and ran out the infirmary. There were still drae lingering around. I terminated them quickly.
"YUI!" I yelled with fear. "WHERE ARE YOU!"
I ran out the army camp base. The desert surrounding the Army camp is unnervingly quiet. I look around for any signs of life but nothing reveals itself.
"Yui! Where are you?" I yell. The shouting unearthed an medium sized Drae. Nothing I can't handle but something about this one seems off. It's not a basic color like the other ones.

Info Check: The basic monster class, Drae, tend to range from the colors Green - red - Gray.Info check Concluded!

After 15 minutes of struggling, I gave up and took off the bandage. I pulled my fist back and punched the damn thing into oblivion. It's innards spilling everywhere.'Why was fighting the Drae so hard?' I thought. 'I must be nearing the Carrier's base.'
(Here's a vague map one of the nurses drew for me of where Yui might be.)
And how right I was. The tallest building in Jento, The Armageddon, is at least 1.73403 million ft². It's surrounded by vines made of pure "I don't even know". I started to walk towards it and was immediately surrounded by Large monsters. They were bigger and looked much stronger than Draes. I took off my bandage and put my fists up. Everything went silent for a few seconds then a voice came from behind."So you arrived? Figured as much." The voice said. It wasn't Kura. It was someone else.
"Who're you?" I asked as I turned around.
"My name is Azrail. Carrier Admin Rank: 4." He informs. He had black hair, Dark green eyes and an Azure horn on his left side. His facial expression is blank. At least he didn't attack me.
I put my guard up and look around for an opening. There's none as far as I can see.
"Calm down. You came here for the human named Yui Amano right?" He asked. "Don't worry she's alive and well. She's at the top of the 102nd floor. I'll help you up there but you'll have to fight me on the 97th floor. Got it?".
"Yeah. I guess." I answered confusingly.
We started to walk towards the door and he holds it open for me.
'Why is he helping me?' I thought.
We enter the building and go threw 94 Floors fighting draes left and right. Then we reach the 95th and there was someone there.
"AIMI!" I yelled.
She turned around and her face was different. She had a horn on her head and her eyes were gray.
"Hey Aimi! It's me! I came to save you and Yui!" I yelled
"Sorry. I don't remember you" She said.
Tears started to form in my eyes. She....didn't? I started to cry and put on my bandage. I looked at her with love and regret.
That would quickly turn to something else.
"You're....NOT AIMI!" I yelled with pure hatred while launching at her. She raised her palm at me and a rush of air rushed to my face. It felt like One thousand tornadoes just kissed me. I flew back a few meters then ran at her again.
"WHO ARE YOU THEN?" I asked.
"Carrier Admin Rank: 6, Ami." She answered. Her eyes Quivered for a moment while saying that.
I used that moment to trip her up and push her to the floor. Her back to the floor, her stomach to my hand. Her eyes shined. I realized that I was being too hard. I pressed the side of her neck and quickly put her against the 'out of place' stone pillars at the far right."You know she does remember, right?" Azrail asked. "That's why she was being easy on you."
I smiled at the thought of her being kind to me. I passed her on our way up the stairs to floor 96."This is Kura-kun's floor" Azrail acknowledged.
My body temperature rose. It's the guy who took Aimi. He probably made her into a carrier somehow too but I can't be sure.
The room was dark and cold. I couldn't see anything other than a few cobwebs near the entrance.
"So Azrail...You've been helping him? FINE!" A voice said across the room. "It doesn't matter! I'll kill him if you don't!" Kura came launching at me with his sword unsheathed.
'CLASH!' The swords hit each other. Azrail's sword was like Kura's but it was a green-ish tint instead of blue.
"RUN NAGARO! ITS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO SAVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" He yelled at me.
"Thanks!" I responded. I ran past them to retrieve Yui. It might take a while to get through the next 3 Carriers but I have to try.
"I'm coming Yui!" I yell. "As long as you're alive, I'LL KEEP FIGHTING."
...
"He's human. Why do you keep him around, Azrail?" Kura asked.
"Because He has Great potential." Azrail answers.
