Taka approaches the door of the building, she is grabbing the handle of the door, she slowly opens the door, and she does that, she quickly get into the building and prepares her spear to attack the assassin. But, before she would be able to do this attack, she decides to create one last clone, and hand the spear to her, and take a plank with nail from the dirty floor of this building who is actually on a bad state of falling apart.

"Look, you jump on the assassin, and you fight her. You let her kill you, and then I interfere." she whisper to the clone ear.

The clone only shook her head in agreement and jumps into action. Taka is moving slowly to the building, finding a way to get to the top of the building, where the assassin will face a clone instead of the real Taka.

As Taka was walking slowly and without making any noise, she hears some noises coming from the upper floors. Taka proceeds to run faster to a ladder, and she uses to climb it to the upper floor, but it only makes her climb to the first floor, and Kata is fighting the clone on the third floor. As she reached the first floor, she sees a body of a human-snake, probably killed recently, she also observes a sword on the hand of the semi-human. Taka decides to take the sword, and she runs in a silent manner to the other ladder of this building. Taka got to the second floor, and there, she can hear the fighting going on from the third floor where her clone is fighting a skilled archer.

Taka sees there is no ladder to the third floor, and she looks around to see if she can find something useful that would help her reach the last floor. She sees the window, and Taka decides to go at it, and she climbs it, then she jumps to the one on the third floor where Kata was using to shoot them. It was hard, but Taka manages to perform the jump and grab a hold of the window, without being noticed by Kata.

As she climbs it, Taka sees the green assassin stabbing the clone head, and made it disappear. Taka gets quickly on the room, and she jumps to Kata, which was at five meters from her. Taka stabs Kata with the sword of that semi-human. She pierced the chest of Kata.

The green assassin drops his bow and her arrow who sued to kill the Taka's clone on the floor, at the feet of Taka. Then, Taka is taking the sword from the green assassin body, and she kick Kata, landing with her back on the floor. As she falls, Kata cough three times while blood is leaving her body, she tires to look at Taka, but she cannot rise her head.

"Why?"

"I'm sorry," says Taka taking her spear from the clone who dropped it. "But these are the rules now." she stabs the head of Kata with her spear, killing her.

As she had done that, Taka sighs, and she let out a word from her mouth: "Damn...". Then, she goes to the window, and she waves to her teammates with her hands, signalling that she got it. She managed to kill Kata, the green retriever.

***

A few hours later, on the house, Taka, I, Garnet and Ulfred are sitting on the table, eating the dishes we protected from the attack and who were made by Taka and her clones. As we eat the dishes, I look at Garnet and I tell her.

"We escaped from the retrievers?"

"Yes. I think so." she says. "There is still Vidraru."

Taka says to us while she eats the vegetable soup she made. "I didn't find him there. But he will not be treating to us."

"Right." says Garnet. "But, we still haven't found a way to gave my powers back." she said that while she shows the crystal with her powers at the table.

"I still consider stabbing being an option." says Ulfred.

"No!" Garnet and I say at the same time to him.

After a few minutes, we have done eating the soup, and we decided to all three of us to go to sleep because we deserve some rest, after the fight we've had today and was ended quite easily than I expected to be from my visions.
