Amidst the devastation at the academy, Kurenai Zero scattered and struggled to withstand the relentless onslaught from Black Shadow. Kai, captured and imprisoned in the enemy's stronghold, faced interrogation by Drytan and Olympus.
Drytan stared at him with disdain, blaming Kai for the havoc they had faced. He demanded information about Kurenai Zero's plans, forcing Kai to confront a difficult choice: betray his friends or suffer dire consequences.
Meanwhile, the remaining members of Kurenai Zero, led by Yuu and Mizuki, fought desperately to defend against the enemy's waves of attack. They worked to organize their defense and evacuate surviving students amidst the chaos and destruction.
In the midst of this turmoil, Guren and Violet fell in battle, leaving deep wounds in the hearts of the Kurenai Zero members. The Black Shadow's assault also resulted in mass casualties among the academy students, casting a pall of mourning over the entire community.
Trapped and reflecting on his fate, Kai found a newfound resolve to combat evil, despite the bleak circumstances. Meanwhile, his comrades outside strategized, determined to defeat Black Shadow even if it meant paying an even higher price.
"We will rescue Kai and defeat Black Shadow," Yuu declared with passionate determination, his voice tinged with frustration.
"Kai, we will bring you home," Mizuki affirmed with a serious expression.
The remaining members of Kurenai Zero convened to plan their rescue mission for Kai, while at the Black Shadow's headquarters, Olympus subjected Kai to torture, drawing blood and inflicting pain.
"Kai, death awaits you," Olympus taunted with his malicious laughter.
"We will rescue Kai tomorrow morning," Mizuki stated firmly, her tone resolute and filled with determination.
