SHIRO : "Shit!"
BUNNOSUKE : "We were too late to save a beautiful woman."
Bunnosuke takes out a dual-wielded dagger, ready to attack.
BEAST : "Help… me.."
Shiro's eyes widen as he hears this from the beast, but it seems like only he can hear it.
SHIRO : "I DON'T WANNA KILL A WOMAN!"
SHIRO : "IS THERE A WAY TO TURN HER BACK..?! OR AT LEAST LET HER STAY HUMAN FOR A LITTLE LONGER AGAIN?!"
BUNNOSUKE : "No, it's either we die, or she dies!"
The beast suddenly rushed out of the storage room building, breaking the wall from the front as Shiro and Bunnosuke got caught in the rubble.
SHIRO : "NOT NOW!"
Bunnosuke tries to get out of the rubble that covered him, but struggles to as he's too weak to do so.
SHIRO: "Give me one of your daggers!"
Bunnosuke tosses one of his daggers towards Shiro, as he grabs it, and begins to repeatedly stab his right eye with it.
Bunnosuke's eye widens.
BUNNOSUKE : "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ARE YOU KILLING YOURSELF?!"
Shiro kept stabbing his right eye with Bunnosuke's dagger, as it began to bleed severely.
SHIRO : "TRUST ME ON THIS!"
He then stabs the middle of his neck, before losing consciousness with his eyes still wide open.
BUNNOSUKE : "SHIRO! WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU'RE GONNA DIE ON ME NOW?!"
Suddenly, horns immediately grew out of Shiro's eyes, spiraling up towards his head, and his jaws became more refined, somewhat thicker. The dagger that he stabbed into his neck began to be consumed by his own body.
BUNNOSUKE : "Wha-?"
- He said with complete shock in his eyes.
Shiro gains consciousness and pushes away the rubble that was on top of him before going towards Bunnosuke and kicking the rubble that covered him.
Shiro offered a hand for Bunnosuke to get up, and he accepted it as he grabbed Shiro's hand.
Bunnosuke's eyes were still wide open, as he was in complete shock at what he had witnessed.
SHIRO : "Let's get that mutated woman!"
- He said with a bit of craziness in his voice.
…
…
The two are rushing to find the beast within the school hallways on the 2nd floor, as lockers and decorations in the hallway were completely trashed and wrecked by the beast.
SHIRO : "Can you check the cameras to know where it is?!"
BUNNOSUKE : "Yeah, give me a moment!"
Bunnosuke opened his tablet and checked every camera quickly. They then suddenly heard multiple screams of girls coming from a classroom in the direction they were heading.
SHIRO : "No need for that then!"
Shiro and Bunnosuke rushed to the classroom as they saw multiple students running away in fear, some hiding under the desks while the beast screamed.
SHIRO : "Get everyone out of here!"
BUNNOSUKE : "Got it!"
Bunnosuke ran to different classrooms to tell them to evacuate.
Shiro raised both of his hands to release the horns attached to his arms.
SHIRO : "It's just you and me now! HAHAHA!"
- Shiro said in an insane voice.
The beast suddenly rushed towards Shiro to attack, but he was able to dodge it as he then pierced the beast's neck with the horns in his arms.
The beast then shook its head, bringing Shiro along due to the horns in his arms still piercing the beast's neck, deliberately knocking him onto the window side of the classroom.
SHIRO : "You've got some nerve!"
Shiro rushes towards the beast with both of his arms ready to stab the beast's torso with his horns, until the beast dodges away and takes a bite off of Shiro's shoulders.
SHIRO : "That hurts!"
He then released a power punch towards its head, but it bit Shiro's fist before it hit. Shiro uses his other hand to stab the beast's torso with his horns.
The beast lets go of the bite and screams in pain as it then moves its mouth towards the side of Shiro's head, but Shiro punches its face before it takes a bite of his head.
SHIRO : "You're not getting a taste of thi-"
Suddenly, the beast bit his shoulder again and began to run towards the walls of the classrooms, moving from room to room until they reached the last room on this floor, where it had Bunnosuke helping the students evacuate.
Bunnosuke covered one of the students from getting hit by the rubble from the walls being broken.
As they crashed into the last wall, Shiro took a bite off the beast's shoulder and ate it.
SHIRO : "You taste horrible!"
Bunnosuke was still covering one of the students from the rubble, as he looked towards Shiro and the beast.
SHIRO : "I said get everyone out of here!"
He said that before realizing the beast was able to take a bite of his head, he got out of the way and took a bite of himself as he began sucking his own blood.
He then spat his own blood towards the beast's face.
Suddenly, the blood he spat onto the beast began to release spikes that pierced the beast's head, as the beast screamed in agony.
SHIRO : "HAHAHA! IT WORKED!"
Bunnosuke stared at the scene while still covering the student.
SHIRO : "Eh..?! Do you both wanna get eaten?!"
SHIRO : "Get out of here!"
Bunnosuke nods as he runs away with the student he was covering.
Shiro looks at the beast, his body fuming with steam as parts of his body that were taken a bite off began to regenerate.
The beast suddenly rushed towards Shiro, pushing them both down from the building, since they were on the 2nd floor.
Shiro looked down to realize they were gonna take a massive fall.
SHIRO : "Are you gonna kill us both?!"
…
Bunnosuke had every student out of the school, as everyone was outside the school gate, except for one person.
BUNNOSUKE : "Has anyone seen Chizu?!
No one replies, as everyone was too silent to speak cause of the fear.
"Shit, she's still in there."
BUNNOSUKE : "EVERYONE! STAY HERE!"
Bunnosuke rushes into the school building in search of his ex-girlfriend, Chizu.
He takes out his tablet while running, checking every camera to find where Chizu is; he was on the 1st floor.
Suddenly, he hears a loud smash from outside, and he looks through the windows and sees Shiro and the beast have fallen onto the ground.
Bunnosuke checked every classroom on the 1st floor while checking his tablet. He then found her in one of the cameras; she was still sitting alone behind the school building
He rushes behind the school building, panting, out of breath. Bunnosuke sees a girl with long brown hair by herself, she was sitting on the ground all by herself, as if she was devastated by something.
BUNNOSUKE : "Chizu!"
Chizu looks at Bunnosuke.
CHIZU : "Bun-bun..?"
Bunnosuke rushes over to hug her while she is still sitting down on the ground.
BUNNOSUKE : "I'm sorry..!"
Chizu stares blankly, in complete shock from the sudden appearance of Bunnosuke.
CHIZU : "Why are-.. you here?"
BUNNOSUKE : "It's a coincidence, but I'm here now."
Suddenly, Shiro and the beast got to the back of the school building, he was running away while trying to stab it, but the beast kept swinging its swollen arms.
They reached close to where Chizu and Bunnosuke were.
Bunnosuke looks at them both.
SHIRO : "Hah?! what are you doing here?! Get out before you both get killed!"
BUNNOSUKE : "I'm having a moment here, can't you see with your horned-eyes?!"
Chizu was in shock, seeing that Bunnosuke was friends with a beast-like human.
BUNNOSUKE : "Let's go!"
He grabs Chizu's hands and runs away to evacuate.
…
Shiro was still fighting the beast. He wondered when it would run out of stamina, as it had been swinging its arms constantly.
Before the beast released another swing, he stabbed the beast's head directly into its brain. The beast stopped moving.
BEAST: "Help... me."
Shiro pushed the horn on his arms further into its brain, as blood began to spatter everywhere.
"I'm sorry."
"You were once human... but now you're a man-eating beast."
"Forgive me."
The beast slumped its arms; it stopped moving.
"Thank you, Sheena."
The beast said.
The beast began to melt into ashes, as Shiro's horns began to melt as well.
The horns that were in his eyes began to melt, as they revealed Shiro's face with widened eyes.
