While the boys were all awake and met up with each other in the hall ways, the girls were also awake and sitted outside of the hospital on a grassy park. They consisted of Rem(Bandaged arm and fingers as well as a bandaged leg), Yuki(Patches on her arms and bandages on her fingers), Racheal(A broken arm coverer with bandages as well as a broken leg covered with a bandage.), Lydia (Also had a bandaged hand with her stomach being patched with a bandage). All four of the girls were just sitted together outside the hospital, they all were just quiet, no words at all, they just let the air and the peaceful environment around them play it's part. Gwen on the other hand walked out of the hospital door, she had bandages wrapped around a part of her stomach, as well as her fingers too. She walked out and looked around, left and right. She looked forward and saw her friends sitted on a bench a few yards away from the hospital, Gwen paused for a moment, her expression was bland and straight forward. She crossed the street and walked up to them, as soon as she made it to them, she sat down beside then and looked at the grassy grounds. Gwen then turned to the rest of the girls and saw that they all were just sad, they were looking at the floor with saddened expressions on their faces. Gwen looked at them for a moment before looking straight at the ground again, no words said. As for Mio, she had woken up, she was still laying on the bed. She turned to her right and realised that her right arm was bandaged, she looked to her left side and saw that her left arm was bandaged as well. Mio couldn't help but to just watch, she tilted her head straight as she layed down and watched the ceiling. She asked herself "I wonder if everyone's doing okay.", she looked forward and saw that her left leg was bandaged too, she remembered how she scremed the moment it got crushed by a falling debry. Mio just sat up straight and stood up, she started to remember the fight she had against Haven and how she went on a ramage. Mio muttered "What was that? I felt an unbelievable amount of power burning out of me at that moment. I can't even think straight.". Mio remembered when she told Haven "I'm going to rip your spine out and eat you.". After recalling that, Mio couldn't help but to feel a bit off "I can't believe I actually said that. Well, judging from my behaviour, and how everything seemed blurry, I probably went on a rampage....", she took a sigh. Mio continued her monologue "Who can blame me? I was in a life and death situation. Haven would have killed us all if non of us couldn't do anything at the moment, I guess going on a rampage and losing control isn't always bad.". Mio stood up from her bed, as soon as her legs touched the ground, she felt a sharp pain cross her leg. Mio clicked her tounge "Damn it! My leg still hurts. What day is it?", she looked at the calendar and realised "Two weeks. I've been asleep.....for two weeks....!", she muttered in a scared yet funny manner. Mio just sighed with disappointment "I've never felt so wasted before.". Mio took a moment to keep silent, her face was straight, she stood up straight and went straight for the door of the hospital room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Regina walking out of the other room infront of her's "Regina...?", Mio asked. Regina(Bandages on her hand and her right leg) looked at Mio with a tired expression "Mio?", she asked. Mio ran to her and hugged her, Regina was a bit stunned "Huh...? Mio, you're hugging me?", Mio explained as she embraced her friend "I'm so glad that you're okay. I swear, I thought non of us would even make it out of that mission.". Regina paused for a moment before hugging Mio back "Yeah, me too. I'm happy to see you again.", she responded. A few minutes later, Mio and Regina walked out of the hospital, when they did, they were shocked to see the rest of the girls sitted on a bench a few yards away from the hospital on a grassy land. Mio called out "You guys!", the girls looked back and saw Regina and Mio walking towards them, Mio jugged over while Regina walked casually. "Mio?", Racheal muttered, Mio stopped to take her breath after she had reached them. She then said "You guys, you're here.", Gwen replied casually "Well, offcourse. Where else would we be?". Mio paused for a moment before she just smiled with tears almost dropping from her face "You're right.". Regina caught on and looked around, she saw Yuki, Gwen, Rem, Lydia and Racheal. Regina just stared at them, Lydia asked dryly "Why are you looking at us like that?", Regina asked in a straight forward manner "Where's Marallda?". All the girls paused for a moment, Yuki and Gwen looked at each other for a few seconds. A few moments later, all the girls where at Marallda's hospital room, she was the only one who wasn't awake. Marallda's respiratory device we still beeping, she hadn't even woken up at all, Yuki then explained "Apparently, a part of her brain has shut down, the right side of it. We don't know when she's going to wake up but.... for now she's atleast alive.". All the girls looked saddened, especially Gwen who had fought along side her. Gwen then remembered how their masked opponent drilled a hole through her and how she shot a ball of energy at Marallda's face, point blank. She thought to herself "I was the one who took the most damage between us. So how am I the one still standing?". Meanwhile, the boys were walking on the city streets, hands in their pockets and not a single word said among them. Kazuma then asked "So? How are we all doing?", all the boys responded in unison "Terrible!", Kazuma replied "Agreed!".
