"It can be cruel, poetic, or blind. But when it's denied, it's violence you may find," Megumin asks Takeru some riddle in their past lives. "Who am I?" Takeru still thinking of an answer for the quandary.
"Mom," Young Takeru asks his mother.
"Yes, son?"
"If you're justice, please don't lie to me? What is the price for your blind eye?" Young Takeru takes out his riddle.
Megumin thought that he figured it out. "Okay, last one," she said. "What is greater than God, eviler than the devil, the poor have it, but the rich don't need it, if you eat it, you'll die,"
Until then, Takeru is grown big, bringing to the event, where he against Lucy. Tall as his father, shiny but soft white long hair, skinny but muscular body, full with tattoos on his body. he is a beast. Nothing can stop him. Nothing.
Lucy got feared for him since she got a feeling that he might turn a whole world upside down. He wore three necklaces, not for jewelry nor luck, but a curse that he must use for him to avoid overused power or even worse comes from him. There are some from one of his necklaces that had a Star of David, a shape of an eye, and a double circle shape for a sign of an inner demon.
As soon as Takeru got close to Lucy, Aiko appeared when she brings the others were inside the hotel. "Bro!! What are you doing here?" she said.
"Oh, you're going to safety place, aye? Just go while I'm busy," Takeru said.
"Hey, she's a Diablo!! You got to close!!"
"Nah, she won't go anywhere," he confidently said as Lucy disappeared.
"Uh-huh," Aiko sarcastically to him.
"As I said..." then he pulls underneath the soil and it was Lucy. "...she won't go anywhere," Then they look at a beast rumbling to the main town.
"You better do something," Aiko said.
"You better tell me where is Abaddon at!!" Takeru said to Lucy. She shakes he head for refusing where he is at. "You have no one left. Your Legion isn't gonna take your orders because you're reprimanded, all is left is just loser,"
"What you can convince it?" she said.
"We're from the future. It's not like we use a time machine or something else. We've been sent by our relatives to fix the past and renew the future that we sat," Takeru said while he holds a necklace around his neck.
"Hey, don't try to be stupid over there," Aiko warned him as it'll get worse.
"I still don't want to tell you where he is at. Or otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Takeru forced her.
"They'll purge me,"
"Who cares, you a Diablo, so you deserve to die," as he summoned his necklace of truth from his hands, wears it on her neck and she speaks where Abaddon at.
"What have you done, you fool!!??" Aiko gasped.
"Okay then, of we go now,"
"How about her? Should we bring her too?" Aiko said.
"No," then he left. A few moments later the Legions show up in front of Lucy. They tortured her so badly that left her marks on her body everywhere.
"Please!!! Spare my life!!!" she cried out. As for Takeru, he jumps up to the air and calls his family to left the beast immediately.

"Do you see him?" Seo-Yoon asked the young girl. She spoke in German but he didn't know the meaning is, yet he understands what she meant. Suddenly, a few bubbles popped on the surface of the acidic water.
"Look," she points out her finger to the bubbles. He immediately looks closely and it was Osamu, carrying both Akira and another young girl where Akira hugged her.
After that, Osamu reached the land surface safely without any wound or side effects. "How you survived?" said Chue. He explained that if being touched by that young German girl, uniquely he manage to survive. More like a shield to protect from every circumstance.
"Are you really sure?" Seo-Yoon said.
"I don't know,"
"We don't have much time," a young girl said. And so, they soon escape inside as faster as they could.
Meanwhile, Akemi and Atina still searching for them as they clash with Megumin and Tomioka.
"Hey, why are you guys still here?! We have to go, now!" Megumin said. No time to waste, she carries both Atina and Akemi outside. They tryna release themselves, but they can't.
---------------------------------¥------------------------------
"Please, help...me..," Lucy's condition is far worse. No one helped her, rather than getting tortured by her own race because she broke their oath. As soon her lives are on the edge, at the last minute Takeru and Aiko saved her. After that, Lucy passes out.
"That's pathetic," said Takeru.
"That's your fault. You would have saved her from it," said Aiko.
"Heh," as usual him.
Soon, she got her consciousness back and realized she was in a tent. She looked around if someone was next to her. She stands up and went outside to get some fresh air, but apparently, Takeru was waiting outside for her. She got trembled. Her legs suddenly shook and her fears raised.
"Please, have mercy on me. I promise I'll help you with all my loyalty," she moaned.
"Heh,"
"Where is my pet?" she asked him, with hesitate.
"Oh, it. There," he pointed next to the woods. "Your pet is just sleeping,"
"Why... why would you save me?" Lucy said.
"Aiko told me to," Takeru said while staring at Aiko in an unamused way.
Meanwhile, Akemi and Atina are still inside the beast, searching for their soulmates. "Wait, I felt something," said Akemi.
"Is it them?" Atina said.
"Probably," So, she follows her instinct. And she's right. Chue Seo-Yoon, Osamu, a young German girl, Akira, and another young girl, laying down, unconsciously. Atina and Akemi went near to them to wake up but is useless. Then, Akemi called Aiko and Megumin to take them out of it, before it woke up again. Aiko and her mother came, but she got eerie.
"Oi," a young kid shouted.
"Oh no. You're..." she gasped.
"Shut your filthy mouth, and tell me where is Takeru,"
"Why do you want my son?" asked Megumin.
"He's..."
