Orchids

Let us keep on remembering.


"What? Se Ern...Jeanine...Christine...the others...they'll all die?!"

"Yes."

"But...why?"

"Because that is the duty of the Sky. The Sky is the mission of the boss. In this batle, the lives of all the Guardians are entrusted in the hands of the boss. That is the Sky battle."


"Entrusted, you say...but this is too much!"


"There is only one way to stop the progress of the poison. That is to insert the matching ring into each Guardian's wristband. Once the ring is inserted into the indentation on the wristband, it will activate the mechanism to administer the antidote stored in the wristband."


"Therefore, the condition for victory in this battle is simply this: You must acquire all of the Carbonara Rings."


Yiernoshi nodded.


"I get it! Let's hurry up and start!"


Don lunged forward, and punched Yiernoshi, propelling her into the school wall.


Alene gasped.


"Lord Yiernoshi!"


Don smirked.


"Oops, my bad. Did I hit her before she got shot by the special bullet?"


Sam's lips twitched a little.


"How foolish. Who do you think you're dealing with?"


In her hand, she held a smoking shotgun.

The judges ran towards the smoking crater in the wall.

Suddenly, the crater sort of exploded. Swirling smoke cleared to reveal Yiernoshi standing among the rubble, lollipop in hand, flame on forehead blazing merrily, face set.

"I'll put you away first."

The judges beckoned to Sam and the others.

"If you want to watch the match, hurry this way, please!"

They were led to the observation box at the back of the school.

"Now, for the Battle of the Sky: Yiernoshi versus Don. Battle start!"

Yiernoshi lunged at Don, swiping her with the lollipop.

Don dodged.

Yiernoshi effortlessly twirled the lollipop, striking again.

Don parried the blow.

Strike, dodge, strike, parry, strike, duck....it was an endless repetitive cycle.

Finally, Don spun around, dealing Yiernoshi a swift roundhouse kick.

"Oof!"

She flew into another wall.

"Lord Yiernoshi!"

Don advanced toward Yiernoshi.

"Hmph. Is that it?"

Yiernoshi lauched herself off the ground, lollipop extended in front of her.

"Hmm?"

Don blocked the attack with one palm.

"You're dead."

Her other palm began to glow with a harsh orange light.

Just in time, Yiernoshi propelled herself upwards as Don blasted the light in her palms forwards. Five feet away, the windows in the building in front shattered. The reinforced concrete of the school building disintegrated.

Sam looked up at the display monitor.

"It's the Flame of Wrath."

Alene looked at Sam.

"Flame of...Wrath?"

"Yes. It is a very destructive flame. It is also exceedingly rare. In fact, only one other man wielded it successfully. The Carbonara Second."

Yiernoshi was now perched on the window ledge of a third-storey classroom.

Don looked up at her.

"Do you know why the First Boss, who used the same glove weapon as you, ran away to Tutipore and retired there?"

(Author's note: Tutipore is where Yiernoshi and co. live.)

"It's because he feared a battle with the Second Boss. If the Flame of Wrath had crushed the Dying Will Flame, it would disgrace his name of being the strongest. He was afraid of this flame."

"Do you want to try it out?"

"Hmm?"

Yiernoshi looked at Don coldly.

"Your flame and my flame. Shall we see which is stronger?"

Yiernoshi jumped off the ledge, straight at Don.

Rachel yelped.

"She's serious?!"

Don laughed.

"You really want to die that badly? Then die!"

Both flames met, flame against flame.

There was yet another explosion. When the smoke cleared, Yiernoshi could be seen whacking Don on the face with the lollipop. She sent Don flying into the school building.

Alene gasped.

"Lord Yiernoshi's flame had overpowered Don's flame!"

Sam smiled.

"That's the result of her training. However, Don won't be defeated just like that."

Yiernoshi had begun to charge forward.

Suddenly, a rod of flame shot out, forcing Yiernoshi to crounch to the ground.

A dark shape leapt out of the debris.

Don.

"I didn't want to pull out a weapon on you scum..."

In each hand was now a gun.

"...So Don has a weapon too."

Sam sighed.

"Worse, it's the same as that of the Seventh Boss."

Mun nodded in agreement.

"The Second's flame, and the Seventh's gun...a vicious combination."
