Jacob lands swiftly in front of everyone but his eyes have gone lifeless with not a single piece of emotion behind them.

N is still in the cage lying against the bars of the small cage with the little girl in complete awe.

Deezle suddenly appears again to sit across the cage from N.

Deezle: "Wow, they really look like they're risking their lives for you."

N looks over and gives Deezle a heavy and emotionless stare.

N: "No they aren't, they're just here to get the stupid book...I'm nothing more than bait as far as I'm concerned."

Deezle: "Boo-fucking-hoo, you want me to cry you a river hmm?"

N gets another flashback of the blonde girl again.

N: "Whatever..."

Deezle looks over to see the little girl in awe.

Deezle: "The fuck's wrong with the little shit? something's off about her..."

Jacob raises his head high to look at Holly.

Jacob: "I'll be taking that book back, whore."

Holly screams in response as the scream is so loud it comes flying at everyone like a blast but Jacob ignites his right hand and DEFLECTS the blast away.

Cassandra: "Someone's pissed huh?"

Jacob slowly turns his head to face everyone.

Jacob: "You guys do what you want, I'll go for the book."

Ashlyn: "You don't have to tell me twice!"

Everyone immediately charges as Holly charges up her sword and suddenly strings appear all over everyone's bodies and are SLICED all over them.

Jacob: "Heal"

Everyone is suddenly healed as if the attack never happened then the strings burn away.

Holly: "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!?!"

Cassandra appears right under Holly's chin and UPPERCUTS Holly straight up into Jizzabelle's ceiling, causing her to get electrocuted.

Cassandra: "No hard feelings, bud."

Holly regains consciousness as he swings her sword at Cassandra but Yuji appears in front of the sword and attaches 5 pieces of paper along the sword's bright red blade.

Yuji: "ATTACHMENT: STUN"

Holly's sword suddenly stops in place as the electricity coming from the sword connects to Holly's skeletal arm causing her to feel the stun as well.

Yuji: "Holly please, I know you don't want to-"

Holly: "YOU DON'T KNOW A GOD DAMN THING ABOUT ME!!"

Holly regenerates her right arm from Jacob's escape and PUNCHES Yuji away as Cassandra runs up her arm and PUNCHES her, causing her head giant skull to fall onto its side.

Yuji pulls out another piece of paper and attaches it to his stomach.

Yuji: "ATTACHMENT: SHIELD"

A giant bubble made of octagons appears and wraps around Yuji as he softly bounces onto the ground.

Ashlyn comes in and BITES on Holly's giant sword as Holly wakes back up and SLAMS Ashlyn into the ground and SCREAMS to cause Cassandra to go flying.

Cassandra: "Shit!"

Irina slaps Cassandra's left hand and comes flying in sending a giant wave of purple flames at Holly's giant skull but Holly bites the air to send a wave of bright red flames as both waves CLASH together and burst away.

Irina suddenly appears and STABS her scythe into her temple as Holly grabs Irina with her right hand and crushes her using her grip until she barfs up blood.

Holly: "DIE, YOU CRAZY BITCH!!!"

Irina: "THE ONLY WAY TO DIE IS THROUGH THE HONOR OF BATTLE!"

Irina points a finger gun her scythe that she stabbed into Holly's temple.

Irina: "ABILITY: REAPERS EQUAL"

A giant reaper appears with a giant scythe and SLICES Holly's skull across her eyeholes with the scythe she lodges into her temple as Holly screams in agony.

Cassandra comes running in again until she jumps in front of Holly's giant skull.

Cassandra: "ABILITY: HELLFIRE SPITE"

Cassandra sends a flurry of punches with each punch lighting a fire even hotter than the last punch.

Ashlyn thinks to herself while she's buried underground by the giant sword.

"THEY DID THIS TO US, THEY HAVE TO PAY!!"

Ashlyn wakes up as her eyes are flaring with bright purple flames and CRUSHES the giant sword into pieces as she comes dashing out of the little hole she was stuck in.

Ashlyn comes running in as the flames around her intensify until she's completely engulfed in bright purple flames as she scratches Holly's burning and cracking face.

Yuji's bubble comes undone as he watches everything go down.

Yuji: "I thought...we...NO! That doesn't matter right now...I think?'

Holly: "THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!"

Holly sends red lasers all over her body as it stabs everyone in the stomach but Jacob appears from behind floating upside down with his left hand being left out.

Holly slowly turns around to stop Jacob but-

Jacob: "Sorry Holly, but...you made us do this."

Jacob: "End her mercy"

A blade made of blue flames appears and wraps around Jaocb's left hand as he SLASHES Holly's head clean off.

Holly's giant skull rolls along the ground until it lands on its left side as her body stops moving and crumbles apart.

Jacob: "Heal"

Everyone is miraculously healed and appears far from Holly's corpse.

Yuji begins hyperventilating from the scene he just witnessed.

Yuji: "We...we did it...but...was this the right choice?"

Deezle shows a sinister smile as he also watches in awe with the little girl.

Deezle: "They fucking did it...they killed their own kind...and he I thought they wouldn't have the balls to do it."

N lays on his side with his eyes widened in shock.

N: "fuck..."

Ep 31-End.
