✦42✦ Blighted Flower Arc - The monster that I am

The inmates were told to stay out of the fight and leave everything to the guards and supervisors. 

Musashi and Tsukumo were forced to just stand aside. Kenshirou, Inori, and Rokuriki try to apprehend Michiyo. Even though the battle was 3 against 1, Michiyo was putting up a good fight against the two guards and a Supervisor. 

"Ranfa..." Musashi could hear everything that was happening. As long as he doesn't hear her in pain, he was fine with it. 

"Michiyo-hime..." Tsukumo didn't want things to come to this, but there wasn't a choice. Michiyo already made it clear that she will not stop what she's doing. "Why did you go from heroine to an antogonist, what are we supposed to do about it?" He asked no one. He looked down at the cold floor with guilt. "It's our fault. We rejected when we shouldn't have..." 

Musashi heard Tsukumo's words and he came up with a reply. "Ranfa is really angry. When our words reach her, she will understand. I believe in her. I really do." 

Inori and Rokuriki used their swords and rushed towards her from opposite directions, left and right. Michiyo was forced to defend herself with the lance, this gave Kenshirou the opportunity to wrap his whip around her body. 

"I caught you!" 

Michiyo smirked and two ice spikes protruded from the sides of her hips, stabbing Inori and Rokuriki in the stomach. 

'Why isn't the anesthetics working?!' Kenshirou squint his eye and he could barely see the needles of his whip had never touched her to start with. 'She...?! She froze the needles!' 

Michiyo used her lance to hit Rokuriki and Inori away from her. She then went after Kenshirou without mercy once she broke free from the whip. 

"Tch...!" Kenshirou was forced to plan how to attack. Within the thinking, his back had hit the ice wall. "Shit...!" He was caught by arms made out of ice, it hugged him against the wall, frozen in place.

She was about to take another step to Kenshirou's way, but she felt someone grabbing her ankle. She looked down to see Rokuriki had kept a hold on her despite his own injury. 

"N-No.314, I know you're not like this. Come on, stop what you're doing..." 

Michiyo looked down at him with an empty look. She pointed the blade of her lance at his right eye with a cold smile.

"Please, stop-" 

She stabbed down but Rokuriki was gone. Tsukumo had carried both Inori and Rokuriki away from her. 

"Michiyo-hime, we can't have you do this! You have to stop!" Tsukumo begged of her, "Please!" 

"I refuse. None of you stopped when I begged for you all not to go. Why do I have to stop now?"

"W-we planned to come back-" 

"Liar." In her eyes, the truth was painted as nothing but lies. 

"It's true! I wanted to tell you that I was sorry for such a behaviour-" 

"Liar, liar, liar!" She used her lance to attack Tsukumo, ripping his clothes here and there with the blades. A monster born to kill vs an actor...the victor was obvious here. 

Tsukumo knew he would be a match for Michiyo, he knew it the whole time as he was being attacked. Yet, he still stood up to fight. "Huh?" He noticed Michiyo doesn't have a shadow. Why was that? "Are you Michiyo-hime?" 

Michiyo didn't answer him. 

"Little Dog, you have to let me use my flames!" Musashi begged Kenshirou for the use of his old power, "Hurry!"
