Keep Fighting

There's a loud crash as the current leader of the Black Dragons smashes into the altar on the other side of the church. After being hit in the gut with the force of a speeding semi-truck, Taiju is completely winded, and likely with a concussion since he hit the altar so hard.

Nakano glances down at her hand, opening and closing it as if she's testing it. She isn't quite proud of her arm strength, and she's never thrown a punch that hard before. So this is a new one on her.

'That's what my power can do, huh?' One corner of her lips tug upward. 'I can get a hell of a lot stronger just like that?'

Everyone watches wide eyed at Nakano's incredible power. All it took was a single punch from, and he went flying. The power they saw during Bloody Halloween has returned, and it saved them all.

"Holy shit, Nakano-san!!" Chifuyu blurts out. "That was awesome!!"

"That was fucking insane!!" Takemichi adds, his eyes practically sparkling. "That's my twin sister guys!!"

She glances back at her brother and friends, who are reacting surprisingly positively. The partners look like they've just witnessed a superhero in action, while Mitsuya, Hakkai and Yuzuha are staring at her, completely awestruck.

"Boss!!"

Kokonoi and Inupi run right past Nakano and to their commander. However, the sunflower blonde male can't help but hold his breath as he passes her.

'How? HOW!?' He grits his teeth once he's past her. 'She was thrown off a building, chained up, beaten, and refused to eat anything for four days!! Where the hell did she get that strength from!?!'

He and Kokonoi reach out to help their boss up, who looks to be out cold. A bead of sweat drips down his scarred face.

'Taiju was the strongest, most beastly guy I've ever encountered. And he just got punched into the horizon by a sickly little girl...'

Inupi glances at said girl, who completely defies what he referred to her as. She stands strong in front of all of her friends in a defensive stance, like she's still ready to fight. To protect them.

Under the chandelier of the church, he can just see how much brighter she burns than the hundreds of lightbulbs that illuminate the room. She's so beaten up. She shouldn't even be here. She should've died.

But there she is, alive and stronger than everyone in the room combined.

"If that didn't get this lesson through his thick skull, then I don't know what can," Nakano mumbles under her breath.

"Merry Christmas!" Out of nowhere, the holiday greeting is cheerfully said. "What are you guys doing on a night like this?"

Mikey's closed eyed smile prevents him from seeing everyone as he walks in. Though, when they open, he sees the mess he just stumbled upon. He sees his beaten and bloody members, and Nakano in chains with bloody hands and bare feet.

Mikey's eyes widen as he takes in Nakano's beaten and chained body. 'What happened to her!?'

Then he glances at the people she's standing in front of, doing his best to keep his cool. "Black Dragons?"

"Mikey, I'm sorry." Mitsuya immediately bends into a bow, despite all his injuries. "This is my fault. I broke the peace agreement I made on my own responsibility. We're fighting them now as you can see."

"Actually, we just finished up," Nakano corrects the second division captain. "Apologies to report, but you're a bit late to the party."

Mikey glances back at Nakano. She looks to be in terrible shape, but she's still standing as if she felt nothing. He's so relieved to see that she's okay, but it still hurts him to see her like that.
