#13. It Had To Be Done

Lifeless bodies of the once hooded individuals are laying around with the bodies of the students as well. It looks like a fight took place with only one student barely standing

Sensei Yugana, "Sakura."

Sakura is on her knees near the bodies of a couple of her teammates, "You killed them..." She looks around at everyone  laying on the field, including Sensei Shinjiro and Sensei Hideo.

"...you killed everyone."

Sensei Yugana, "except you, the lone survivor. What is your next move,vengeance?"

Sakura slowly stands to her feet with her fists balled and her head slightly down. She begins to walk towards him, "the only thing that makes sense to me..."

She is standing in front of him after standing for a moment,she kneels.

"train me, i know you killed my classmates and...[she looks over to a certain body]..but I need to become strong. I need to be the best and if becoming an Outlaw is the path...then so be it."

Sensei Yugana, "is that so just like that?"

Sakura still kneeling, "I have my reasons. You're about to flee here, take me with you I must surpass a certain someone. Even if I have to..."

Sensei puts his hand on her chin making her look up, "become a monster?" 

Sakura, "yes."

now we see Sensei Yugana's eyes up close, "Kumo."

Kumo is battered but standing, "you killed our loved ones then all the students...even Sensei Hideo?! Luckily Sensei Shinjiro got away...Senshi will be here to take you out soon."

Sensei Yugana, "you think they will be here in time,they will not? So I ask you what now,Gakusei?"

Kumo takes off what is left of is uniform jacket, "what...now? You know what...you're.." [he balls a fist and points with the other hand] "..an asshole!"

Kumo, "you don't realize what you've really done."

Sensei with his arms folded, "is that so?"

Kumo walks over to a body and looks down,"I can't forgive you..."

We see Shinjiro close up with eyes closed.  Now Sensei Hideo and Sensei Yugana as well.

it is now a view of Shinjiro standing with his left hand in front of his chest, with fingers positioned.

Sensei Hideo, "wake up Shinjiro, almost done."

Sensei Shinjiro with eyes still closed, "you know i'm not sleep just focusing."

Sensei Hideo, "whatever."

Shinjiro smirks, " Upset you got killed off, again?"

She just folds her arms and says nothing.

Sensei with eyes closed, "interesting..."

Now Kumo is circling Sensei Yugana from a distance.

"..he is getting serious."

Coming in and darting back and forth and around looking for an opening, "You have made me...responsible."

Sensei watching him,{i see what you're doing..}"responsible?"

Suddenly he stops and puts his fist together with alternate fingers out.

Kumo, "you took away my .... and now I have to become a brooding avenger. I hate you for that!"

Sensei Yugana, "if you do survive, what then?"

now we see each student one by one in front of Sensei Yugana.

They each react to the deaths of their classmates and loved one.

Suddenly it's dark and a voice is heard. 

Sensei Hideo, "Green and Black Class, open your eyes."

They all are standing int he exact spots they were in before Sensei Yugana arrived.

Sensei Hideo, "I know you're all confused, that was a 1st year scenario class. We use a technique that puts you all inside of an illusion.

Kumo, "it wasn't real...thank goodness" [He falls down and sits on the ground.

Sensei Hideo, "It is designed for you to experience the most emotionally impactful situation."

Sensei Shinjiro continues, "usually it's the loss of a loved one, at this point in the beginning of your life as a Senshi anyway. Even Hideo balled when she ..."

Sensei Hideo hits him in back of the head, "idiot, anyway it was a shared illusion that you all experienced and the Sensei observed, While Sensei Yugana was the common factor, the source of your torment."

Sakura, "how..did you know...who to have as our...loved one?"

Sensei Shinjiro," we did not, that was from your minds. In this situation, it was the last person you want to lose."

Inuyama holding herself and looking down, "I didn't expect anything like this..."

Buredo, "wait..." she is looking around."...where is Shinko?"

They remember she was stabbed by Sensei Yugana.

Akashi stands in front of everyone looking at Yugana, "Sensei, where is Shinko?"

Shinko speaks from behind, "hey everyone, I'm right here, sorry to trouble you."

Shinjiro,"yes she is fine, actually she..."

Shinko, "please Sensei, Don't make a fuss thank you"

Sensei Hideo,"Yes, Shinjiro, let it be."

Shinjiro, "I don't get it but okay. Well Thank you Sensei for helping"

Sensei Yugana is beginning to walk out, "it was my pleasure."

he sees the students "..what is it Gakusei?"

Sakura, "we will become stronger because of what you did, thank you."

Kumo, "yeah and I bet we get too strong for you to put us under like that!"

Sensei Yugana, "well it was Sensei Shinjiro's illusion technique but..." [he glances at Shinko before he exits] "...i have no doubt you will get stronger"

Soon a group of people come in with stretchers.

Buredo, "no one is physically injured Sensei, what are these for?"

Sensei Hideo, "the reason you're doing so well is because I asked Shinjiro to subdue the emotional connection to your experience."

Sensei Shinjiro, "once I allow the illusion to completely take affect you will be paralyzed and go through it over and over again for the next 24 hrs. sorry kids"

Kiryu, "Sensei...?"

Sensei Hideo, "when I snap my fingers you will be subject to everything flooding in. you'll be out of class for a week.."

SNAP

Soon we see the three Sensei again gathered in the arena. They are joined by...

Shinjiro, "so this is Orange and Red Class hmm?"

Jiyu, "I'm ready for anything Sensei"

Takaharu, "hell yeah, let's go."
