Ashlyn led the little girl into the cafeteria and placed chicken noodle soup between the two of them.

Ashlyn: "OK!"

Ashlyn grabs the plastic spoon, scoops up a little soup, and points at the little girl.

Ashlyn: "Say ahhh."

The little girl hesitates at first then slowly opens her mouth and drinks the soup of off the spoon. She's scared at first because of the heat then eventually swallows.

Ashlyn: "Sooo? Is it good?"

The little girl's eyes sparkle like stars from the pure deliciousness of the chicken noodle soup shakes around, asking for more.

Ashlyn: "Okay, okay, you gotta eat it slowly, okay?

Ashlyn continues to feed the little girl chicken noodle soup.

Ashlyn: (She looks so happy...and so free, kind of makes me miss when I was a kid)

Little Girl: "Ahh...Ahh..."

The little girl is on the brink of tears as she looks down at the bowl to see that it's completely empty.

Ashlyn: "Oh no! Don't worry I'll go get some more!"

Ashlyn runs over to the pantry to see more chicken noodle soup and grabs it.

A looming shadow appears as a naked old man slowly comes out of the shadows and puts his hand on Ash's shoulder. Ashlyn tries to run but is unable to move.

Ashlyn: "W-what?"

Old man: "Come on Ashy, can't we have some more fun again?"

Ashlyn: "N-no...stop it!"

The Old man slowly leans his face in as he lays his head on Ash's shoulder.

Old man: "Can't we go just one more round?"

Ashlyn: "NO YOU'RE DEAD, YOU'RE ALL DEAD! I SAW IT?!?"

Old man: "Come on...don't be like that..."

The Old man licks Ashlyn's cheek.

Ashlyn: "NOOOO FUCK OFFFF!!!"

Ashlyn BURST purple flames all over the cafeteria.

Ashlyn: "ha..ha...what?"

Ashlyn turns around to see the little girl lying on the floor crying.

Ashlyn: "W-what? H-hey I didn't"

The little girl runs away from Ashlyn.

Ashlyn: "w-wait! I'm sorry!! really!!"

Jacob arrives on the scene.

Jacob: "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT NOISE?!"

The little girl runs past Jacob and Jacob gets a chill down his spine.

Jacob: (What was that?)

Jacob watches the little girl run away down the hall into the training room. He then turns around to see Ashlyn grabbing one of her arms. Jacob naturally sighs in response as he slowly walks away in the direction of the little girl.

Ashlyn felt guilty and heartbroken about what she did. All she can do is sit down and hold her head up as she sheds a single tear.

Jacob continues to follow the little girl to the training room. He comes to a sudden halt as he finds Cassandra and Irina hardcore training, with them both completely drenched in sweat.

Cassandra jumps forward as she attempts to land a punch forward but Irina swiftly wraps around Cassandra's arm and jumps over her unit she ends up upside down looking at her back. Cassandra ignites her back and SHOOTS streams of fire as Irina is sent flying but Irina isn't finished. Irina throws her scythe as Cassandra grabs it with both her hands and Irina comes charging forward and Cassandra uses her scythe to SLASH her but Irina suddenly disappears out of thin air.

Cassandra is confused at first but Irina appears from under her and UPPERCUTS her. As her guard is down Irina spins on the ground and attempts to kick her in the face but Cassandra grabs the heel before it makes the impact and tries to punch Irina on the ground but Irina suddenly disappears out of thin air again. Cassandra thought she couldn't fall for that trick twice so she chokes the air behind her as it revealed Irina and she SLAMS her into the ground.

Cassandra: "Given up yet?"

Irina: "OF COURSE NOT!"

Irina sends bright purple flames all over Cassandra. While the flames would cause injury, they were made purely for distraction.

Cassandra fixes her vision to see that she's surrounded by smoke as a cut appears on her shoulder, the cut isn't deep, but just enough to show blood.

Multiple different cuts continue to appear all over Cassandra's body as Cassandra IGNITES into her flaming body again, causing the smoke to clear.

Cassandra and Irina charge toward and attempt to punch each other but end in a cross-fit.

Jacob slowly sneaks around to see the little girl sitting on a nearby block in awe in shock at what she witnessed.

Both Cassandra and Irina freeze at first, then both fall onto their back in sync.

Irina: "haa...haa...rival, I think that's enough training..."

Cassandra: "NO! WE HAVE TO STRONGER...COME ON!!! GET UP!!"

Cassandra attempts to get up from the ground but her body is clearly too exhausted to do so.

Cassandra: "FUCK! COME ON! GET JACOB HERE, LET'S HEAL UP!"

Irina lets out a sigh of relief.

Irina: "Rival...I know how you feel, but please, don't push your body further than you can handle...strength is meant to be naturally earned, not forced...you're already much stronger than you ever were from when I first announced you would be my rival."

Cassandra sits up and lets out a long sigh.

Cassandra: "Whatever..."

Cassandra approaches and offers her hand to pick Irina up.

Cassandra: "Good fight?"

Irina grabs Cassandra's hand and picks her up.

Irina: "A fight worthy of MENTIONING TO THE GODS, NYAHAHAA!"

Cassandra: "You wanna grab some food or something?"

Little Girl: "Ahh...Ahh.."

Cassandra and Irina look over to see Jacob holding the little girl by the armpits as her eyes sparkle with excitement.

Cassandra: "What the fuck are you planning to do to her?"

Jacob: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE IMPLYING?!"

Irina: "As someone of honor, I humbly ask that I cut off your head in the name of killing the pedophile."

Jacob: "Look, I heard a loud noise, and I came down to see her running away so I thought I would try to calm her down, but it looks like she's taken a liking to whatever you two were doing...what's with the hardcore fighting by the way?"

Cassandra and Irina both silently look at each other then back at Jacob.

Cassandra: "We just...decided that we try a little bit harder...especially since..."

Cassandra gets a flashback of getting beat by Holly's henchmen of the Maroon Suns.

Irina suddenly jumps in as she senses Cassandra getting uncomfortable.

Irina: "We decided we wanted to get stronger to keep up with everyone else and the things that roam the earth, that is all."

Jacob: "I see...well, it's none of my business, I wanna get stronger too, believe me, but I wanna give you all a chance to catch to me, haha."

Cassandra: "Alright we get it, cocky fuck."

Jacob puts the little girl back onto the ground.

Jacob: "I'll leave her to the two of you...I've got a thing to do..."

Before Jacob opens a rift Cassandra retaliates at him.

Cassandra: "Still keeping secrets, eh?"

Jacob stops in his tracks and lets out a sigh.

Jacob turns his head to look at Cassandra.

Jacob: "You'll know eventually, I just need...some time to consume this..."

Jacob opens a rift and enters it then immediately closes it.

Cassandra: "What do you think he's hiding?"

Irina: "It was something about a notebook...maybe he had some correlation to it? then again it's not our business until he lets us in on it."

Cassandra: "Yeah, well, if he's gonna keep some secrets we might as well do the same, no?"

Irina: "I think he has the right. He is the sole reason why we're even here, right?"

Cassandra lets out a sigh of frustration.

Cassandra: "Whatever...I'm getting a drink, you coming?"

Irina: "I'll be there soon."

Irina touches her chest as she gets a sudden feeling of emptiness.

Irina: "Where did you go, Iris?"

The little girl looks over to see drops of blood on the floor as her mouth starts to drool.

N enters the school again and sits on a staircase between the 3rd and 4th floors.

N: "That talk with Ashlyn...to think that she'd actually talk to me, could that mean that maybe?"

N gets a flashback of everything that's happened up until this moment.

N: "Maybe I could...what's the word?"

Before N can think of the word he's trying to say, N feels a whisp of wind as the little girl appears next to him again.

N looks down to see her licking her red fingers.

N: "How did you...do that?"

Ep 35-End.
