The sound of police sirens screams through the night air, growing louder by the second as they begin to approach Yuto and Kairo’s battle. In the parking lot, now heavily damaged from the battle, Yuto has Kairo on the ropes, with no way out. He hovers over Kairo’s beaten body, preparing to land the final blow. Behind his back, Kairo snaps his last knife in half, making sure Yuto doesn’t notice.
“Well get on with it.” Kairo says luring Yuto into whatever plan he has.
Yuto firmly takes his stance, winding back his fist as much as possible. Before he could make a move, Kario quickly gets up and attempts to slash Yuto’s throat! Yuto quickly evades but loses balance! As the knife crosses Yuto’s eye, he notices that the blade had been cut in half. Suddenly, the other half of the knife comes from behind Yuto and cuts deep into his gunshot wound from earlier!
“AAGGHHHH!!!” Yuto screams in agony as the already painful wound becomes unbearable.
Taking advantage of the situation, Kairo kicks Yuto in the same area, sending Yuto flying into a car. While Yuto struggles to get up, Kairo slowly limps to the nearest car he can find. He smashes the window of the red car and forces himself in. Yuto remains on top of a car, heavily injured. Kairo pulls out the car's plastic panel and grabs the ignition wires. He cuts the two wires he needs with the half of the knife still in his hand. Sparks flash as he twists them together and the car engine begins to roar.
Yuto still writhes in pain, he tries to get up, but the pain is unbearable. The dark red car Kairo hotwired quickly pulls out of the parking lot while bumping other cars. Finally, Yuto gets off the car and limps toward a dark gray motorcycle.
“Shunji? Are you there?” Yuto asks, his voice rough and low.
“Dammit Yuto, my heart’s been racing listening to this fight! Are you okay? I heard you screaming.”
“Do you know how to hotwire a motorcycle?” Yuto asks, ignoring Shunji’s question.
“You’re in no condition to fight, I can tell by the way you can barely even speak. If he got away just let him go.”
“That’s… not an option, I won’t let him get away even if it kills me. NOW DO YOU KNOW HOW TO HOTWIRE A MOTORCYCLE!?”
“Yeah… I do.”
The police finally arrive on the scene, a herd of frightened civilians are gathered around the area. The officers get out and attempt to direct the crowd away from any potential danger. Suddenly, a dark red car comes zooming across them and heads straight for the streets! The officers, shocked by the sudden scare, rush to their cars to pursue. Moments later, Yuto comes zooming through on a dark grey motorcycle in hot pursuit of the car! The police get in their car and start their sirens as the chase begins.

In the speeding red car, Kairo looks at his rear view mirror and sees Yuto in hot pursuit a couple of cars behind.
“Damn, he just doesn't give up!”
Kario zooms through the streets, passing and evading multiple cars! Yuto still remains in pursuit, zooming past and evading cars as well, refusing to let Kairo get away! The police sirens grow louder as more police join the chase.
Kairo takes a turn onto a highway and speeds up even more, his speedometer reading one hundred and forty miles per hour. Yuto matches that speed going one hundred and forty miles per hour as well. The two zoomed over the bridge, the roar of their engines echoing across the open water below! Yuto’s cape whips through the roaring air as the chase spirals into chaos! The sound of sirens and car horns boom through the highway.
Kairo takes another quick look in the rearview mirror. This time, he doesn’t see Yuto riding the motorcycle; instead, he sees a black, demon-like silhouette on the motorcycle in pursuit! His wild swerving portrays his growing panic. He takes the last half of his knife and reaches his hand out the window. Channeling his powers, he sends the knife flying behind him, its blade spinning with deadly accuracy as it shears off a fragment of Yuto’s mask, exposing part of the reflective eyeshield!
The black, demon-like silhouette remains chasing, its speed growing faster by the second! Kairo begins to panic even more, his breath shaky and driving wild! Yuto closely approaches Kairo’s car, now side by side. Yuto takes out a small, circular black device from his belt and throws it at Kairo’s rear tire. Suddenly, a small explosion goes off on the tire causing Kairo’s car to flip into the air!
While in the air, Kairo is flung through the broken window and slings across the highway! The car crashes into the ground and bursts into flames! The cars across the highway immediately come to a stop. Kairo crawls across the ground in agony. He turns around and sees Yuto slowly walking towards him. Yuto’s cape sways through the wind as he slowly approaches Kairo. Kairo can no longer move, the pain unbearable. Yuto approaches Kairo and hovers over him, revealing Yuto’s horrifying, soulless left eye behind the mask.
Yuto decides what to do with Kairo, his breath slow and weak, the police slowly approaching. Vivid memories of Yuto’s parents flash through his mind. He remembers his dads words about what makes good people different from bad people. Kairo's eyes slowly close as he loses consciousness. Yuto stares into the bright white stars, he recollects himself and suppresses his anger as he knows what he must do. Yuto gets back on the stolen gray motorcycle and speeds off into the distance, letting the police take Kairo.

Outside Shunji’s house, Yuto limps to the doorstep, struggling to maintain consciousness.
“Sh- Shunji, I’m here.” Yuto says, his body weak and legs like noodles.
The door opens and Shunji quickly grabs Yuto. “Yuto!!” Shunji says, relieved.
He takes Yuto down to the basement and clears off a table with different kinds of equipment. He lays Yuto on the table and examines the wound.
“Yuto… Did you?...”
“I-I didn't kill him Shunji… I… I didn’t… Kill him…” Yuto finally loses consciousness.
Shunji quietly admires Yuto and begins to treat Yuto’s wounds.
