" What are you all smiling about? This is no joke! You could actually die here! " Yuzuha exclaimed. 

" Sorry. " Mitsuya apologized. 

" Huh? " Yuzuha asked confused. 

" Your expectation could make other people suffer. My expectations made Hakkai suffer. " Mitsuya said. " I've got no right to be a big bro. " 

" Mitsuya... " Yuzuha muttered. 

" You've been protecting Hakkai all by yourself...Yuzuha. " Mitsuya said. " I majorly respect you. " 

" That's pretty cool, y'know. " I said while grinning. 

Yuzuha teared up making me engulf her in a hug and said, " Let's hang out if this is already done. " 

I hugged her tight as her memories with her mom flashed in my mind. 

It's happening again as the one that happened with Kazutora's memories. 

I pulled away and waved goodbye while joining the others in the fight. 

" I'm gonna protect Yuzuha if it's the last thing do! " Hakkai exclaimed. 

" I'll be on your side then! " I exclaimed while punchin' Koko away from my way. 

After a couple of minutes, Chifuyu, having fought Inupi, falls to the ground with an injured leg, while Mitsuya, fighting Kokonoi, takes a knee from his exhaustion. 

Takemichi staggers from his injuries, making me get him from Hakkai's arms and lay him away. 

" You're such an idiot...Hakkai. Now you'll end up losing everything. " Taiju said. 

" Yoo-hoo, I'm still here. " I said while standing next to Hakkai. 

" Shut the fuck up, you asshole. Learn your lesson in hell, shitbag. That'll wake you up. " Hakkai said to Taiju making me nod in approval. 

" Now I'm starting to hear things. " Hakkai said making me smack his back that made him whine a bit. 

" No, you aren't. " I said while the motorcycle sound is getting nearer. 

" That sound, yeah, it's Mikey's CB25OT. " I said. 

" Mikey?! " Taiju asked. 

" What's the invincible Mikey doing here? " Koko asked. 

' Mikey-kun...is here? ' 

" With Mikey-kun here we can beat the black dragons! " Takemichi exclaimed. 

" You sure about that? " Mitsuya asked. " We're here in the first place because we chose to break the peace agreement. Between Toman and the black dragons."

" What would Mikey think of that? " Mitsuya asked. 

Mikey enters the church making me hum as if I saw a real angel enter the church in the middle of a war. 

" Merry Christmas. " Mikey said. 

" Merry Christmas! " I replied while smiling making Mitsuya nug my shoulders. 

" What are you doing on a day like this? " Mikey asked. 

Dying? 

None of us answered the question making Mikey look around. 

" The black dragons? " Mikey asked. 

" Mikey. I'm sorry. This is all my fault. " Mitsuya said while bowing. 

" Taka-chan?! "Hakkai exclaimed. 

" I broke the peace agreement I've made with my own irresponsibility. We're fighting them now, as you can see." Mitsuya said.

" My big bro recognized the sound of your impulse... " Mikey started. 

" Huh? " Mitsuya confusingly asked. 

"...Then, Baji said only Mitsuya's bike sounds that sweet! Y'know? " Mikey added. " Those two led me here. " 

I looked at him with concern, realizing that both of those people are not in this world anymore.

" Mikey...? " Mitsuya asked. " What...are you saying? " 

" You're fighting these three guys, right? " Mikey asked while facing the three black dragons. 

" So, you're the invincible Mikey, huh?! " Taiju asked making me cross my arms while watching the scene. 

" Why are you standing in my way? " Mikey asked.

 " Huh? " 

" I just wanna ride with the guys again. If Mitsuya dies then Baji and my big bro will be sad! " Mikey exclaimed. 

" Mikey...you're... " Mitsuya spoke. Hearing this, Takemichi thinks back to what Kisaki said about Mikey's weakened mental state, as well as Mikey's future evilness. 

' Don't do it, Mikey-kun! If you fight them like this you'll...! ' 

My eyes widen in realization but before I could stop Mikey Taiju punches Mikey in the face and knocks him unconscious. 

" Ehhh?? " I blurted out of blue. 

As the church bell chimes, Taiju declares, " Even the bell chimes to bless my victory on this holy night! I've defeated the invin- " 

My instincts told me to move, so I did. I kicked Taiju down to stop what he is saying while smiling. With that, Taiju is now lying unconscious at my feet. 

" Eh?! " Takemichi and Chifuyu shocked, reacted.

" What just happened? " Inui asked.

" Boss? " Koko called out.

" I just him up that's al- " 

Suddenly my sight became blurry making me cover my eyes as I already know what was happening.

" Great job. " That was the last thing I heard before I felt myself fainting in someone's arms.
