(It was the day of the funeral. Lots of people were there, all dressed up. Mr. Clone and Protector made it like they said, but they stayed in more of the back. Selene was standing over the casket. It was closed because of Ruri's neck wound. Tears were rolling down Selene's cheeks. She was gone, actually gone. Her last family member died right in front of her, and she did nothing. Kazu walked next to Selene. He stopped by her side and looked at the casket with her. Selene's eyes didn't move.)
Kazu: "She was great. Help us out a lot."
(Selene nodded her head.)
Kazu: "I'm sorry Selene."
(Kazu padded her on the back and walked off. Selene still stood there staring at the casket. Reo sat in a chair in the back. He was the only one not dressed very nicely. Sara walked over to him and sat next to him.)
Sara: "Did you not have a suit? Kazu offered to buy everyone something nice if they didn't have it."
Reo: "He's too poor to buy everyone a suit anyway. Plus, it's a funeral, why do you have to dress up so nice."
Sara: "To respect Ruri."
Reo: "Whatever."
(Reo stood up and headed for the door.)
Sara: "Wait, did you say anything to Selene?"
Reo: "We live together. I'll say something there."
(Reo has only been to one funeral his entire life, and this makes two. He wasn't a fan. Dai and Taku were walking in as Reo was leaving.)
Taku: "Woah, where you headed?"
Reo: "Shut it."
Dai: "Reo, what about the funeral?"
Reo: "It's not gonna stop cuz I'm not there."
(Reo walked off.)
Taku: "Huh, guess he got too emotional."
Dai: "Well that's one way of saying it."
(Taku and Dai walked in. They knew mostly everyone there. There was a girl sitting by herself that Dai has never seen before, but he ignored it. He walked over to Selene.)
Dai: "Selene, I'm so sorry."
Selene: *sniffle*.
(Selene wiped her nose and nodded. Dai nodded and walked away. He sat in a seat next to Taku. Everyone started to take their seats. Selene stood in front of them all, facing them.)
Selene: *sniffle* "Ruri, Ruri was a great sister, and an even better caregiver. She wanted to help as many people as she could and that's why she would save victims of villain attacks in Tokyo. She would get made fun of because she wasn't a hero, but she didn't care. As long as she helped people, she was happy. *sniffle* The number one person she wanted to help was me. She wanted to be close by me all the time to make sure I was safe. When I refused to go to Tokyo with her, she came here. She practically gave her life away just to protect me and I will always be grateful for that. *sniffle* She was the best, and I love her dearly."
(Selene turned to the casket for a moment. Her eyes filled with tears.)
Selene: "Thank you, Ruri. For being the best sister I could ask for."
(Selene walked away and took a seat. She was the only one going to speak. She was the only family. No one knew Ruri that long so no one could say anything. Dai wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the courage. After that the funeral kind of went by in a flash. Everyone gave Selene their condolences and then left. Mr. Clone and Protector went back to their city and that girl Dai didn't know was nowhere to be seen. All that was left was the team and they all headed home. It was a silent drive back. Kazu could've teleported everyone back, but he decided just to drive. Everyone was just looking out the window and being quiet. No one said a word. When they got there it was still quiet. Selene went up into her room without a word. Shortly after Reo came down stairs drying his hair.)
Reo: "Oh, you're all back."
Yui: "Where were you at the funeral?"
Dai: "He left. Me and Taku caught him on his way out."
Sara: "Yeah, he told me he was leaving."
Kazu: "Reo, why did you leave?"
Reo: "It's not my sister. Come on, people die. Don't make such a big deal about it."
Dai: "A big deal?!"
(Dai pushed Reo. Reo didn't move a bit.)
Reo: "D-did you just try and shove me?"
Yui: "Guys stop fighting ok. It's over."
Reo: "Tell it to four eyes."
Dai: "Stop calling me four eyes!"
(Dai tried to punch Reo, but Kazu made a portal and his fist went through it)
Kazu: "Enough! Both of you. Selene has gone through some trauma and we need to all stop this."
(Reo and Dai looked off at their feet for a minute. Selene was looking down from the staircase making sure she wasn't seen. She could hear yelling and wanted to get a closer look at it all. They were all fighting because of her, at least that's how she took it. She walked back to her room. She laid onto her bed and tried to drown out the sound of their talking with her pillow. She wanted this whole day to end. She wanted everything back to normal, but it couldn't. Her sister was dead and she had to deal with that. She fell asleep thinking about the whole situation. Everyone else has calmed down on their argument. They turned the conversation to Kage.)
Yui: "So what was he saying? Any info?"
Kazu: "No, he was just joking around the whole time. A cop came in and couldn't even get him to talk."
Sara: "I just can't wait to see him behind bars."
Dai: "Yeah, so he can get what he deserves."
Reo: "Finally caught him. I've been waiting for this day forever."
(Kazu's phone rang. He checked to see who it was.)
Kazu: "Oh, it's the cop. I gave her my number in case they needed us."
(Kazu quickly frowned.)
Yui: "What is it?"
Kazu: "Kage escaped."
(All the villains were in the base freaking out. No one knew what to do about Kage.)
Z: "He's been in jail for a week and we still don't have a plan?"
Smoke: "Nope. We're screwed."
Cho: "Come on, guys. Let's all charge at the prison and break him out."
Z: "He might get mad at that."
Zazz: "We're all gonna dieeeee!"
Demon: "No one is dying. Someone go into his office and we'll see what's next on his plan."
(Everyone stared at him. Destroyer shook his head.)
Demon: "Anyone got any better plans?"
(Everyone shook their heads.)
Zazz: "We're all deaddd!"
(Diva looked at the chaos. This was perfect. They needed a leader and she fit the role. She can finally take over this team just like she wanted. Then the door slammed open. It was Kage. Everyone got silent. He stared them all down.)
Kage: "Who screwed me over?"
Z: "What do you mean screwed you over?"
Kage: "I mean, someone screwed me over!"
(Kage slammed his fist to the wall. He started to walk through them all.)
Kage: "Someone told everyone that I said we are retreating when I didn't say that at all. So who here was told that we needed to go back to base."
(Everyone raised their hands. Even Diva and Chul. It would be dumb not to. Blue Princess did not raise her hand though.)
Kage: "Oh, so you told them all?"
Blue Princess: "No, I just didn't go."
Kage: "What?"
Blue Princess: "I said I di-ugh!"
(Kage grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall. Diva knew it was her chance.)
Diva: "Kage she was there."
Kage: "Really? Why would she lie about it then?"
Diva: "Because, she's the one that told us to leave. She told me and Chul that you said we have
to retreat."
Kage: "Oh really?"
(Kage looked to Chul and he nodded his head. He thought he should just go with the plan. Kage looked back to Blue Princess.)
Kage: "Is this true?"
(Blue princess was shaking her head a lot in fear.)
Kage: "Speak up."
(Blue princess managed to squeeze a word out.)
Blue Princess: "No."
Kage: "Ok, too bad I don't believe you."
(Kage then broke her neck in a second. She fell to the ground limp. He turned to Demon.)
Kage: "Burn the body."
Demon: "Yes sir."
(He picked up the body and ran outside.)
Kage: "Let that be a lesson to you all. Don't cross me."
(He then walked to his office and closed the door. Everyone was silent for a moment, but then they went back to what they usually do. To them things were normal. Diva was kind of scared. That was closed, she could've almost died. Good thing no one said anything. She had to be more careful if she wanted to be the leader.)
