Wasn't Doocutzuji with them?asked Heysti.
-Who?replied Lee.
Heysti froze for a moment, then moved toward the cave, while Lee's arms slowly slipped away from his.
-Heysti... where are you going?Lee asked, hurrying after him.
When they reached the cave entrance, Heysti began digging into the ground. Eventually, he unearthed a red card.
-What's that? asked Lee.
**It's a Nova form I created. If I bury it somewhere, and someone I'm looking for steps on it, it turns red.
-...Who's Doocutzuji?
-...Someone I hate deeply. Someone who deserves to see red.
-...Can we go now? We probably have a long way ahead...
-Lee, I can't come with you anymore. Now I know Doocutzuji was here, which means he's likely still around. This planet is in danger!
-But... you promised...
-...It wasn't my fault. You all summoned me...
Lee looked at Heysti with frustration as he stood facing away. Then she turned and walked back outside.
-...We called you because you have a good heart... and because I trusted you...
-This isn't your place, Lee Kochiiro. Go back to Earth, and let real heroes handle this. Stop pretending to be one.
-Maybe I'm not a skilled Nova user... but I was still able to resist him. Which means... I'm not a hero yet... but I can become one.
-I told you to leave.Heysti replied.
Lee walked forward calmly, slowly fading into the distance.
(Rain begins to fall.)
Lee stopped walking and said to herself:
-...Do I really have to try and save them? I'm doing this for revenge... not to help people...
As soon as she finished speaking, she was teleported into Genesis.
-Why do you think like that, Lee?asked Genesis.
-Because Jiu was right... Wherever I go, I leave ashes behind... Can't you take away my Nova? she turned toward Genesis and asked.
-...I can, but I won't. Not yet.
Lee stood still for a few seconds, then asked Genesis to take her back to the Dead Earth.
-Lee... think carefully about what you're doing. Now and in the future. Only you can stop the apocalypse.
-And do you think I still care? I'm not a hero. I may have the potential, but I don't feel capable anymore... so please, take me back.
Genesis removed Lee from the scene and summoned Heysti.
-What happened? Why did you call me?asked Heysti.
-Lee... she's lost. And she needs you!
-We argued... she won't listen to me.
-But Heysti—
-Send me back to Earth.
Genesis obeyed his order and then whispered to herself:
-I need to make them understand that they have to become a team! If not... Doocutzuji will win.
So Genesis took away both their powers and began to follow them.
Heysti was still in the cave, crouched, watching the rain. Meanwhile, Lee had entered the nearby forest.
-!! I completely forgot! Kenzo!
Heysti then started running back into the forest, where Lee was also heading.
-Oh no!!said Genesis. This is bad!
Heysti tried to tense his legs again to jump, but this time he could only leap 7 meters high. That's when he realized Genesis had taken his powers.
-H! I don't need powers to beat Kenzo,Heysti told himself.
Meanwhile,
Lee calmly entered the forest and saw a light less than a kilometer away.
-...Dooc?... Arcasas?
Her slow steps suddenly turned into a sprint.
-Just as I thought! said Genesis. Lee's emotions override her reasoning. I hope Heysti makes it in time. Kenzo could be her downfall.
While Genesis kept her eyes on Lee, she sensed an extremely powerful presence trying to enter her realm — a being twenty times stronger than a Kayura.
From beneath Genesis' waters, a black-gloved hand emerged and opened a portal.
-!! Who is this being!exclaimed Genesis.
From the mysterious hand appeared a figure wearing a black crown with green shadowy stripes, dressed in medieval clothing.
-...Give me Lee's Power. Now.the stranger demanded.
Genesis destroyed the Nova universe and created a new one, one where that person could no longer enter.
-It seems I've failed... If such a being exists in the future, something went terribly wrong now! But what?
Genesis looked again at Lee's actions and saw her, Kenzo, and the boy from the cave lying asleep together next to a lantern.
