The explosion pushes them away just like the way the life splits a couple in drama movies.

Varkrix quickly summon a giant arm on his back and squash both Yomi and the Abyssal Crystal.

Yuri, now freed to move, tried to get to Varkrix but...

- Yuri: Are you ok, Vark?

- Varkrix: SHUT UP! GET AWAY FROM ME BEFORE I KILL YOU! THERE IS NO TIME!

Then he points at a portal he made using his last consciousness.

- Yuri: I won't leave you behind! We will find a way!

- Kenta: He seems to be lost his consciousness, there's nothing we can do!

- Astro: Listen to him! This is what he want us to do! "actually i want to be the one who kill you"

Yuri has no choice but to escape through the portal

- Yuri: We will come back for you, Vark.

The portal brings them back to the Crimson Fortress, where is right now like a shelter for the people of the Capital.

The sky was really blackened with darkness, and there is a Blood Moon.

Everyone was there, including some she has known like Ungar, Wardin, Solar, who is wearing a red armor.

Don't know what happened, she asked them:

- Yuri: What happened?

- Solar: They told me that Dark Soliders keep rising like zombies killing people and destroy buildings, no matter our troops or they die, they keep rising as enemies.

- Wardin: There must be a very strong dark power to do such thing, maybe because of this the Grandmaster created a portal that brought me here.

- Yuri: If they rise as those Dark Soliders, that means...

- Ungar: Yes. The Altars has stopped working and no one can respawn.

- Yuri: Zero! Chaoz!

- Wardin: They were the last ones succeed to respawn luckily. Now they are in the Infirmary.

- Yuri: That's good. But i have to tell you something. Maybe Vark, or the Grandmaster is the source of this crisis.

Yuri then visits Chaoz and Zero in the Infirmary.

At Chaoz's bed, he hasn't awaken, probably for the wound Gream did using Phantom Execution.

- Astro: I'm sorry. They said that he will get better soon. "He looks cool. I like him."

- Yuri: That's ok.

Then the three come to Zero's bed.

- Astro: I wish he recover soon just like they said. It's only a shot, not like the wound you made to me.

- Kenta: Wait...

- Kenta(Zero): "Yuri... Grandmaster's room... bedside table... second drawer..."

- Yuri: I will get that thing for him, but why is it in Vark's room?

She then come onto Varkrix's room, take out an envelope.

- Yuri: I must bring this to Zero.

- Astro: Why am i not feeling any pain on my leg?

She go back to Zero's bed, open the envelope, there is a tablet and a gemstone inside.

- Kenta(Zero): "Yuri... only the Grandmaster's chosen one can have access to the info in the tablet... try it"

- Yuri(Varkrix): "Yuri, if you are reading this message, i'm sorry that i'm destroying the Critical Realm. I have predicted this with my power, but not how it happens and ends. This is the true reason i sent you that file. I need someone to stop me before it's too late. Your skill exeeds that of me and the gemstone is to teleport you and 3 more people to me. And maybe, if you can, lead the people as the Grandmaster for me. Take my will and legacy and keep it as what it should be. I count on you, my girl"

Having heard his master's messages, Zero awakes.

- Zero: All hail the Grandmaster!

Everyone begs in front of her (lmao).

- Yuri: Hey, you guys don't have to do that.

- Solider: I heard you're the new Grandmaster right? The Dark Soliders has entered the city! What's your order?

- Yuri: Try to hold as long as i can. I will bring him back for everyone.

- Psychic Bandits: We will hold them for you, our Leader. Everyone, if we have to die here, let's make it worth it!

- Wardin: So, who are you going to bring with? The gemstone can teleport 3 people with you.

- Yuri: I think i will bring Solar and Kenta. Astro, you come with me?

- Astro: I'm only going with you this time to be able to kill you myself! How dare you cut my leg?

- Kenta: Uhhh... The bandages... Where did he get them?

- Wardin: If you mean the Holy Halo Bandage, it's in the medical supply room.

Kenta then run straight into it, then come out with a lot on his armor and shield.

- Yuri: You just... like them that bad?

- Kenta: Yes...

- Yuri: Oh ok. Let's go bois!

- Astro: Don't call me like that! I don't like it!

Yuri then activates the gemstone by an inexplicable way to create another portal.

Behind the portal is a place that they may haven't known.

- Yuri: "I... will bring you back."

The portal bring the new squad to a place with red sky, dark ground, looks pretty like Hell.

Afar, there is a sleeping giant beast without legs, but it's more like a giant armor.

The squad slowly approach it.

Kenta gives every person a packet of bandages.

- Yuri: Wait... it's hand... it's identical to what Vark used to kill Yomi!

- Astro: Then it's the bastard who helped you cut my leg!

- Solar: But he healed it then why keep hating him?

The argument wakes the beast up and it hit them away.

- Apocalypse Colossus: *Screams and roars*

- Yuri: Kenta, Solar, stall its arms for me to attack. Astro, cover me!

- Solar: Got it!

- Astro: Fine.

[Pyroshield]

[Guardian Instinct]

[Rainbow Waves]

Solar and Kenta uses their shield to bash AC's arms and damage it, while Astro shoot it with his Rainbow Waves.

Yuri dash to it and give it a lot of shots and slashes with her pistols and Moonlight Sabers, but it doesn't seems to be hurt.

- Apocalypse Colossus: *Roars*

[Soul Eater]

The ground turn into void, and many arms come up from it.

- Yuri: Guard your legs! Don't let they get grabed!

- Astro: I know what does it do. Remember my leg?

[Gravity Waves]

Astro levitates himself with his power, while Solar and Kenta put their shields under to block the arms.

[Fireball]

Solar shoots AC with his former power.

After a while of continuous damage, AC starts to get hurt.

- Apocalypse Colossus: *Screams*

[Skyfall]

AC slams the ground and make a large quake, then meteors rain down from the sky.

[Jetfire]

Solar turn his shield up, blocking the meteors and use his hand to levitate himself.

Yuri keeps destroying the meteors before it get to her while levitating herself with her power.

Astro shoots the meteors instead of AC.

But Kenta only have a shield so he gets hit by a meteor.

- Solar: Kenta!

- Yuri: Ok lost a lot of bandages XD

- Astro: I don't care much about that.

Kenta then dissappear in the explosion caused by the meteor.

Solar get his shield to continue fighting.

- Solar: I will bear your will, Kenta.

Then behind AC, a hooded Dark Solider with a shield appears.

- Yuri: Don't tell me...

- Solar: Oh no...

- Astro: This isn't good, even with me.

Dark Kenta throw his shield towards Astro, but Solar blocked it with his shields.

- Apocalypse Colossus: Grahhhhhhhhh!

[Piercer Arm]

AC launches its left arm into a drill towards Solar guarding Astro.

[Pyroguardian]

Around Solar appears a fiery aura, giving himself more power to fight back the drill, but his human power wasn't enough.

[Sonic Wave]

Astro blasts sonic waves to help Solar withstand the drill while Yuri try to damage it.

Suddenly Astro get hit by Dark Kenta's shield and fall down.

- Astro: Good things the damn Soul Eater has ended or i will end up like Kenta.

- Solar: No... no no no no no!

Without Astro's help, Solar's power isn't enough to stop the drill anymore and it drills through him, then go back to AC.

- Yuri: Solar!

And what have to happen happens, Dark Solar appear from the ground behind AC with his double shields.

- Yuri: No! Not him! Why?

- Astro: Do we have any chance to win?

- Apocalypse Colossus: ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Dark Barrage]

Behind it appears a circle which a lot of its fists fly out. Yuri is able to dogde them herself but Astro...

[Light Wave]

Astro creates a giant rainbow light wave to block the fists, but the more he try, the weaker he becomes.

Finally, he got hit by the shields then the Dark Barrage and falls

- Yuri: No! Don't die! You haven't had a chance to kill me yet!

- Astro: I think... i can't keep that promise.

Astro's body disappears, and like the others, Dark Astro appears.

- Yuri: Why... everyones just fall in front of me... Vark... why?

- Apocalypse Colossus: Grahhhhhhh!

[Piercer Arm]

This time Ac launches his right arm straight towards Yuri.

- Yuri: Please stop this. STOP THIS!

[Divine Blast]

A white pulse blasts from Yuri, destroying the arm and the Dark Soliders in the lair.

[Divine Angel]

Yuri turn herself into a god with pure white body with pink glowing eyes and wings, prepare to end AC once and for all

[Divine Beam]

Yuri levitates herself, blast a large beam straight to AC's body, making a white explosion which destroys AC.

This move also make her transform back to her normal form.

From the explosion, Varkrix appears but still covered with darkness, slowly walk to Yuri, who exhausted after using all her power.

- Yuri: Vark... this is all what i can do...

"To keep that smile on its owner's face... i shall do whatever it takes"

[Lethal Stab]

In Yuri's eyes, there is now only the image of the guy in black fall down in front of her.

- Yuri: Vark! Why did you do that?

- Varkrix: Because if don't i would kill you, and i wouldn't be able to forgive myself my whole life for that.

- Yuri: No! Please stay with me! I still have the packet!

- Varkrix: My wound is too big for it.

- Yuri: Vark...

- Varkrix: Since you come to my life, you have done a lot to me but i couldn't do anything for you. Guess at least i've done this place now. That means i'm not useless after all, right? Do you like it, Yuri?

- Yuri: Yes! I like it! You did a very good thing!

- Varkrix: Thanks. Cheer me up Yuri. The gemstone i gave you... It can take you back.

- Yuri: Awooo~

Yuri then hug Varkrix until he disappear into the void.
