[Last day remaining to arrest Maki…]

Alice was already up, dressed in a light pink s.h.i.+rt and black short shorts . She smiled at the young man .

"Don't overdo it . "

"I know," Clyde said, nonchalance in his voice . He was surprised at the lack of soreness while brus.h.i.+ng up . He put away Alice's toothpaste, so that she wouldn't suspect anything . Hers tasted better anyway .

Clyde used this time to access his weekly special item store .

[Items available: Super s.e.x potion (350,000), Ki Book: Pa.s.sion Burst (900,000), Thor's hammer (75,000,000,000) Health Potion x 6 (1200), d.i.l.d.o gun (2,000,000), Book of Blazing Spirit (250,000,000), Grand Equipment set 500,000), Place of Power Core (1,000,000) . ]

Clyde didn't hesitate in his selection . Some of the items were outright ridiculous and made him curious about their usefulness . Not all special items were for battle .

[You have received Place of Power Core . Item cla.s.s: Relic . Item value: priceless . ]

[Balance remaining: $ 1,151,400 . ]

It was moving day, the house under Clyde's official owners.h.i.+p . Tear had already offered to teleport everyone's belongings to the new place, so as soon as they dealt with Maki, he'd arrange to get started .

Alice met him at the bathroom exit with a kiss . A moment of pulsing almost had the duo ripping each other's clothes off . Only the thought of dealing with Maki for the last time, prevented the love-making . They settled for one more deep kiss .

Clyde forced away the thought of going home after the Viper was killed . Not the time for that, he thought .

He dressed in sweatpants with a s.h.i.+rt and a thin jacket to offset the autumn air . He could feel the cold even inside .

That afternoon, the large party stood ready, eyes hard . The amount of people would seem like overkill, but Maki had the aid of a demon trickster G.o.d, so it only made sense to even out the odds . Everyone had a job to do . He even told them about the hornet so that they wouldn't kill her while in the heat of the moment . It was a last resort plan and most of the women were reluctant to accept it . Clyde formed the layout of the team in his head .

[a.s.saulting party: Clyde, Alice, Chika, Tear, Kitome, Seth, Toru, Yusuke . ]

[Charging attack and heavy magic user: Natalia, Sahara, Yuki . ]

[Healers and suppressing attackers: Harumi, Alice . ]

"Remember what I said," Clyde said . "Physical attacks until that protective net is down . Then wreck her s.h.i.+t . Any questions? This should be simple . "

"But we all know it's not going to turn out the way it's written on paper," Kitome said . Sahara nodded in agreement .

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Alice said . "Tear, jump us to where Toru pointed . "

Tear thrusted her hands forward .

"I hope everyone's ready for this . "

Clyde didn't feel much of the stomach-lurching like before, courtesy of being used to the time-s.p.a.ce jumps .

The first thing he noticed was a naked unconscious Naomi lying on the ground, broken katana next to her . The poor girl had bruises all over her . Her clothes, mostly shredded, were scattered in all directions . There was suspicious liquid all over her face and body . The young man noticed a bandana on the ground that read: G.o.ddess Maki Fan Club .

No one seemed to be around in this neighborhood to help his friend . His friend… that was violated by both Maki and her giant fan club . Hundreds of members . He quickly took off his jacket and covered her . They left her for the worst in the cold and naked .

"Stabilize and heal her Harumi," Clyde said in a deadly calm voice as he knelt at her side . The pink-haired girl did, intense worry in her eyes . "Tear, Yuki, Yusuke, take her to the hospital . Tell her about Maki's fan club and the a.s.sault . The list of names can be found at the academy . The police will question Naomi when she wakes up . Make sure they contact those not under the control of Maki's family . "

He looked at Naomi one last time before pa.s.sing her off . Harumi's healing made her look better already, but he couldn't chance the follow-up fever . Magic couldn't heal hangovers . Fevers were probably no better .

He stood up and finally allowed a rage like never before to fill him . The sky darkened then turned red . Reddish aura burst around the young man, as his eyes glowed . Winds burst from nowhere, swirling around him then expanding . Red lightning struck in various areas .

[URGENT WARNING: DO NOT ACCESS THIS SYSTEM . ]

He snarled, images of the horrible acts done to Naomi flas.h.i.+ng into his mind, like quick-shot photos . The entire fan club . A trap meant for his Alice, sprung earlier than antic.i.p.ated .

His blood boiled, the winds intensified . And no matter how much he tried, he couldn't forget the images . These people threw away their humanity, his thoughts rang .

"After I f.u.c.k Maki's s.h.i.+t up," Clyde said, "I will personally see to it that she's thrown in prison . If she survives what I'm about to do to her . I will personally oversee it all . f.u.c.k with my friend like this…Naomi didn't deserve it…she didn't . "

He aimed one hand at the house again . The house he saw among the images . A sea of unnatural power erupted from the young man's hand . It took on the visible form of lightning, but was so much more . And it disintegrated Maki's house .

The monster and mastermind was now on the ground, playing with herself . She looked up at them and smiled .

"Want to finish me off anyone? I can make you come—"

Maki barely s.h.i.+fted out of the way of Clyde's sword of red lightning and unknown matter . It seemed to poke a brief hole in reality . His aura pulsed against even his own friends with enough pressure to make them strain to stand .

"Sahara, do your job," Clyde said . "Everyone take your positions . And if you can kill her, do so . Because I sure won't be holding back . "
