Erick woke up first and went outside to get some air, but then smiles as he senses the presence of someone he already expected to appear in front of him after they learned of John's death.
"I see you already know about your brother's death, Nate" Erick says with a smile as he stares at a point from which a portal opens and out of which a boy walks with a smile.
"You know sometimes I think my brother was stupid, but I never thought he would die at the hands of someone who was his friend since he met him, didn't you feel sorry for doing that" Nate says to him getting closer and closer to Erick who also starts walking towards him staying a few meters away from each other.
"At what point did I say that John was my friend Nate, I always suspected him as soon as I met him, although I never wanted to do anything until I was sure that your brother was the traitor they sent from Germany" Erick says staring at Nate who is a little surprised by what he heard, but then another portal opens and both are surprised to see who was the person who appeared.
"Gentlemen, I don't think it's a good idea to fight before the time" Said the person who came out of the portal with a smile and accompanied by four other people holding the North Korean emblem, giving Erick and Nate to understand that Germany is not the only country that will try to conquer Japan on Christmas Day.
"You guys don't know when to give up" Erick said looking seriously at the five people standing to the left of the two, but then next to Nate appears Crista in a fighting stance just in case and the others back off a bit after seeing her.
"I guess then it will be a little more fun if you guys join in on this, but I think you have another problem to worry about Marc" Nate tells her as he hands a communicator to the guy who showed up, as he grabs it and turns it on he hears how part of his platoon in Korea was killed.
"You knew I was coming and you sent your puppets to give me more work, you really are a fucking bastard Nate" Says the boy with a smile to immediately break the communicator and reopen the portal to leave without first looking sideways at Erick.
"I hope they win Erick and tell Raizor that his sister will no longer be of use to them" He told him laughing after seeing Erick's face and who began to clench his fists while looking at him witheringly and angrily, but then the boy left leaving Erick and Nate again accompanied by Crista.
"Then see you in three months Erick, I hope Raizor wakes up by then" Nate tells him with a smile as he disappears from the place looking at Erick with a smile who also turns around with a serious look to immediately punch the ground which breaks creating a crater.
"I swear on my life Nate I will finish anyone no matter if you bring that idiot from hell" Erick said in his mind as he stands up to go back inside with the girls who are still sleeping leaving him alone since that means they didn't see anything that happened.
The girls woke up after an hour passed, they went to greet Erick who was watching the news and were shocked when they saw that the whole world has the three members of the death spy team in their sights.
"Wow, I guess it was to be expected that we would be put in the crosshairs after quite some time" Euphi says between sighs looking at Erick who also sighs to then get up and look sideways at Raizor who is still sleeping, remembering Nate's words about the fight they will have in three months.
The morning passed quietly despite Nate and Marc's visit which left Erick thinking that he might have to ask for help to make the plan he told the army general work.
"Who knew Marc would get in on this too, guess I'll have to call those two" Erick said in his mind as he sat outside watching Euphi train Lena to control her powers with the suit since it's not easy to do that at all, but then Euphi notices that he is lost in thought so he walks over and blows in his ear making him feel a chill.
"What's wrong Euphi?" Erick asks her somewhat blushing because of what she had done, causing her friend to laugh at her reaction as well as Lena who looking at them understands that Euphi was always in love with Erick.
"That's what I should ask you, you've been lost in your thoughts for a while now, is everything okay?" Euphi tells him with a look of curiosity making Erick hesitate for a second in the answer he is going to give him, but he also knows that they will find out sooner or later that he is hiding something.
"I could lie to you and tell you that everything is fine, but I won't do that, I will tell you what happens" Erick tells them making the girls pay attention to him and starts to tell them what happened this morning when they were sleeping leaving them surprised especially Euphi when he tells her that Marc also showed up.
"At least that didn't end up in a fight, but if Marc is here that means Raizor's sister is somewhere town" Euphi says as she keeps thinking about where Raizor's sister could be, but Erick notices that Lena is worried about something.
"Is something wrong Lena?" Erick asks making Lena look at him hesitantly about telling him something, leaving the two of them curious, but then she sighs and looks seriously at her friends knowing that they might get mad at her for not telling them sooner.
"The day the soldiers attacked us, I had a dream where Raizor's sister spoke to me and told me that I would have to make the decision to continue with my life as a prodigy girl or be the most wanted girl in the world" Lena tells them seeing how they are surprised since they understand that Anna made Lena decide whether to continue by Raizor's side or not to see him anymore, but they also think that Anna is up to something since now that they know that they can be more than sure that she is close.
"I guess then it won't be long before we run into Anna at some point" Euphi says sighing as he looks at Erick who looks sideways at the room where Raizor is still sleeping, but with the difference that his wounds are healing quickly which is a sign that the reaper will wake up sooner than expected.
NORTHWEST SIDE OF JAPAN
AT NIGHT
In a city in northwestern Japan, a group of ten people were investigating old Japanese army facilities where they practiced the super soldier experiment, failing in it.
"There is nothing here, it is a fact that they erased everything" Said one man as he approached the rest who sighed as again they failed to find what they were looking for.
"Alright, let's go" Said a woman wearing a mask on and on the right side of her shoulder the emblem of the German army.
On the other hand, twenty kilometers away two people were hiding in the trees staring at the people who were approaching them.
"The woman is the strongest according to the information we were given" Says a girl while occupying a pair of binoculars to then look at her companion who stands up staring at the woman who from a distance feels the boy's gaze and looks in that direction.
"You take care of the others, I'll take care of the woman" Said the boy looking sideways at his companion who smiles and approaches him to immediately give him a kiss on the cheek.
"As you order...commander" The girl says to him disappearing among the trees while he comes out of his hiding place showing himself in front of all the people who stop since they recognize the boy who is in front of them.
"So it was you, the one who was looking at me so much" Said the woman with a smile as she approached staying a few meters away from the boy who only looks at her in a serious way, the rest of the people back away scared.
The wind was blowing while the woman and the boy were staring at each other, but then both disappeared from everyone's sight and only the boy was seen as he shot against the premises breaking several walls.
The woman slowly approached as the rest of the people smiled as they knew they were safe because she is one of the most powerful people in Germany and no one can defeat her.
"Hey, watch out for the girl behind you" The woman told them causing them all to turn around watching as a blue haired girl assassinated one of them, then she looks at the rest and smiles at them causing them all to get ready to fight.
The woman was going to jump in, but is surprised by the boy who kicks her in the ribs sending her against a tree that breaks as soon as she hits it, then she gets back on her feet to immediately receive a punch in the face and a kick in the abdomen that sends her towards the inner part of the facilities.
On the other hand, the girl takes care of the people without any problem leaving only one alive who tries to attack her with a knife, but it doesn't work at all since she dodges everything and then disarms the guy to immediately punch him four times in the face leaving him staggering.
"You're good, but unfortunately this is as far as you got" Said the girl after stabbing him while watching as he smiles after dying making it clear to her that he didn't mind dying.
The fight between the boy and the woman was controlled by her as he was on the defensive because of the repetitive attacks he was receiving, but at the same time a smile appeared on his face after she kicked him sending him against a wall breaking it at the same time.
"What are you laughing at Mike?" The woman asks him as she walks up to him only to stop when she sees him stand up like it's nothing.
"So you know my name commander" Mike said with a smile as he clenches his right fist slowly without her realizing that he is actually waiting to launch a magical attack on her.
"I wouldn't forget the name of the person who helped the reaper" The commander tells him as she pulls out a knife to attack Mike again who only sighs.
"Fire element affinity: fist of hell" Said Mike dodging the commander's stabbing attempt to then give her a fiery punch that sent her against a wall leaving her stunned and with no options to block anything.
"I didn't help the reaper I just chose the best option he gave me" Said Mike looking at her seriously as he approached her and knees her in the stomach making the commander fall to her knees.
"Affinity with the fire element: Flames of eternal hell" Said Mike after pointing with his right hand from which flames came out and as soon as they came in contact with the body of the commander she began to scream in pain and after a few seconds she died charred.
Mike turned around and went out of there to meet his partner who was waiting for him at their meeting point, taking for granted that they finished their work and could go to rest.
"I see it didn't cost you anything to finish them off, Liz" Mike says to her with a smile to which she smiles back and goes over to give him a kiss and then they both stand there watching the sunrise.
"Yeah, but it's weird that Germany would send such strong people to investigate" Liz said looking sideways at Mike who thinks a bit she is right previously they were always guarding that area of Japan, but they never came across a German army commander investigating.
They were going to leave, but a strange familiar feeling for Mike makes Mike react and puts Liz behind him.
"Wow, that's the first time you feel my presence" Said a voice coming from a boy who was slowly approaching them and they both are surprised to see who it is.
"It's good to see you again...Erick" Mike said with a smile and something calmer when he saw that it was Erick, but he also knows that if he is here it's because something happened with Raizor.
"It's also good to see you again, former commander and former captain of the German army, I came because I need your help" Erick tells them looking at them seriously while the sound of the Japanese army helicopters approaching so Mike and Liz leave next to Erick so no one will see them.
