The sky that is present of the blood-red shattered moon is having its red light glare down at the surface of the one living planet, as a Train is shown to be moving fast towards a direction, as it is going in fast to try and go to the location it's meant to go. And inside of the train, are none other than Minori and Shiki, 2 members of Yumi's team.

They are both inside of the train, as they look outside, as they see the once lush green works, now having turned into a blood red perversion of its once-living self. And needless to say, even though Shiki and Minori wound smoke and be happy, even in the worst circumstance, and this case, they can't, and it is because of how disturbing it is for the both of them, due to how it is that they are now lead to a point such as this.

The sight of their once beautiful planet has now been turned into a gruesome sight, as now, everything that they cared for, all that they had loved, it has all lead to this point, and the thing is, many of the people, some of the civilians that had once been their friends, and they are likely to have been forced to kill them. And needless to say, it is making all of them stressed and saddened at what it is that is happening to the world that had once been their home. And at times, Minori, she wished that this was not a real thing to ever occur to her, as well as too her friends.

At times, she wished that she was aiming on her bed, asleep, and wished that she is simply waking up from a very bad nightmare that has happened only once. She wishes that she can get out of bed, realizing that it is all a dream, and than she can be happy again, as she always has been for so long.

Instead, though, she is forced do live inside of a very harsh and cruel reality, where everything around here is a true living nightmare. And it is a nightmare that she is forced to stay awake in. This made Minori have an extremely sad expression on her face, as she misses the old times everyday, and wants for them to be returned to her again. But she knows that in this harsh place and harsh time, that sort of thing will never happen, for she and all of those she cares about, including the man that she adores, they will be forced to live in a reality where they can never be awoken and free from it, and are forced to traverse through it all.

As for Shiki, even she is upset with the situation that she and all that she cares about are inside of right now.

Usually, when it is something scary, and whine frightening it may look, it is actually harmless. But this, this is more than scary, it is purely horrifying, and it is the most terrifying horror that she had ever seen. Nothing else can match the level of horror that she is feeling from the sight of this. She just wishes that this terrifying existence had not ever happened. And yet, it did, and it is all by something, an extreme powerful, dangerous entity that beyond their control. And entity that they have no knowledge of. And needless to say, Shiki will make sure that whatever entity it is that had attacked them, she is going to make sure, on the behalf of those that she cares about, and the behalf of her team and friends, she will make sure that the witty pays for what it has done to her world, and too the lives that had been taken from it, as well as her civilian friends that had died in the crossfire.

Minori was shaking, as she held her basket, and she than spoke out to Shiki.

"Shiki?"

Shiki than looks at Minori, and she notices the worried expression on her face, as Shiki than looos concerned at Minori, as she than spoke out to her childish immature teammate.

"Minori, what is wrong in your mind?"

Minori looks at Shiki, her Halloween-themed teammate, as she than spoke out.

"Shiki...I...do you really think that...we can pull this off...that we are able to go out and defeat that scary monster that we are sent to defeat so that we can defeat that scary brain monster? I...I'm scared that we would fail and that we will die from it. I don't want to die and be separated from our friends if we are unable to go against it."

Shiki looks down at her friend in pity, as unlike Shiki, Minori does not attempt to hide her worries and even spoke out to Shiki about them. This made Shiki go to Minori, and she puts a hand on her shoulder, as Minori looks up at Shiki, as she spoke out to her friend.

"Do not say that, Minori. We will be able to do this. We will be able to take down that Dead Cell Boss that Sans has sent us to deal with. If we don't be brave and we continue to doubt ourselves in this sort of thing, if we believe that we are going to fail, than we will actually fail for real. So please, do not say that we can't do that. We will love and defeat that Dead Cell, and we will return back to our beloved Sans alive."

Minori looks up at Shiki, and hearing those words and paying attention towards them, she looks determined.

In spite of her fear, she nodded her head, realizing that Shiki is right, as she than stood up, and gripped her bucket ready, as she is ready to fight against the Dead Cell and return to Sans. She and Shiki than looked at the top and see the screen of the location that they are going tic and the location on the screen is shown, as it than began to slow down for a minute, before it finally stopped, as a ding was heard, the doors open.

Both Minori and Shiki stepped out, as they looked around the area that they are in. They are now in their former home town, one that they had not been in since Union Academy, Tokyo. They recognized the buildings, due to how familiar it is, except that the buildings have been severely damaged or destroyed, as red veins are all over the place, and even worse, the entire city is littered with infected, as Shiki felt angry at what had happened to their home. Minori, on the other hand, she felt sad that her once beautiful home had been changed into a warp grotesque parody of what it once was in the past, before all of this happened, something she wished was never the case. But regardless, Shiki and Minori, they than began to go to the city, before they than began to do what they had always done in the past whenever they are in their home city, leap across buildings. They jumped and jumped, and while normally, it would feel like the old times, in this case, there is nothing that would feel old, due to how very saddening the sight is. 

Minori and Shiki kept on moving, they kept on leaping, as they made sure that they are not going to fall, their worried suppressed, as they continue to try and find the Dead Cell entity that they are looking for. As they leapt and jumped from building to building, they looked down, their world appears to be in slow motion a little bit, as they see the Dead Cell zombies down there, and needless to say, the sight became more horrifying than sad, as the Dead Cells below them were once human, and now had that taken away from them. But while Minori was looking, Shiki looked, and she sees that a hound is about to bite off Minori's head. Shiki, with the remaining time she has, grabbed Minori, and pulled her, as the Hound missed, and Shiki sliced its head off.

As Shiki and Minori landed onto the ground, they both looked and see that more of the Hounds appeared, but these ones are different. On top of the Hound's backs, as the zombies, but with blades for arms that are made of what seems to be their bones. It seems that these Dead Cells have mutated and fused together. These are called, Steeds.

Shiki smiled, as she stepped forward towards the Dead Cells, before she than spoke out.

"This will be very interesting, won't you agree with me on this one, Minori? Because that's the way I see it."

Minori didn't answer, but she did take a fighting stance. She has a determined expression on her face, as she is ready to fight against the Steeds. Shiki smiled, seeing that Minori is not going to back down, as she stepped forward, and rushed at the Dead Cells, and began to spin her scythe against them. But the Steeds are not going to back down from the fight, as they than began to charge at her, and began to attack with their arm blades, as they clashed and struck against Shiki's scythe. But Shiki, thanks to her being injected with the CELL Core inside of her soul, is able to hold her ground against the Steeds, so that she can try and kill them permanently. As she made one off balance, she spun her blades, and she used it to decapitate the 2 heads of the Steed, as she is able to kill them, due to the CELL Core's energies covering the weapon, as Minori than made a pan appear out of her bucket, as she slammed the lab down on top of one of the Steeds, and squished it, killing it, due to the CELL Core's energy covering it. Minori looks at the Steeds before her eyes, as Minori stepped back, and the Steeds attempted to stab her in the head, so that they can either kill or try air lobotomize the poor Shinobi.

But Minori is not going to let that happen, as she swung her bucket, and the bucket was able to knock aside the blade arm before it can even have a chance to hit her.

"Secret Ninja Art: Minori's Snack Party!!"

When this happened, Minori summoned food from her backpack, as the treats and sweets began to hop around and hit the Dead Cells, which made them feel a lot of pain, and it seems kind of hilarious, due to the fact that they are attacked by sweets, even though they are used to simply taste good and brighten the lives of those that any children can get their hands on. And well, now it is being ring Minori's day, due to now having the confidence to succeed in her day, and be able to come back to Sans alive, as she and Shiki will be able to bring down the Dead Cell Boss, and make it easier to take down the Cerebellum, which will be their last enemy to deal with.

But as they continued to kill more and more of the Steeds, more and more kept on coming and eventually, Minori realized that they are trying to stop them for reaching their target. And so, she than used her Snack Party attack, and spoke out to Shiki.

"Shiki, those things are distracting us! We need to get away, now!!!"

Shiki nodded, as she turned to a direction, and seeing the way to find the Dead Cell Boss,

Shiki than used her Ninja Art, Shiki Soku ZX, as she made a swarm of bats appear around her, and then, she charged at the Dead Cells, as the Bats damaged the Dead Cells around her. It also made a path for Minori to run on, as Minori and Shoki than leapt up into the air, and began to get away from the Steed infected very fast.

Everything just happened so fast, but Shiki and Minori, they were able to get away from the Steed, that have nearly decided to consume them and try to feast on their bodies. Minori looks like she is about to suffer a panic attack, but Shiki looks like she is in one hell of a ride for her whole entire life. She seems to take pleasure on in the fact that she is able to fight like she always has, but at the same time, she knows better than to simply have fun worn something as dangerous as the Dead Cells, as there are a lot of Dead Cells that are ready to kill and munch on their bodies without hesitation, so Shiki and Minori are going to have to make some more use with her confirm over Bats. Shiki than began to manipulate Bats, and they began to swarm, until they are under Shiki and Minori, and they are being used as platforms that move around and help her and Minori get away from the Dead Cells, that are waiting to kill all of them.

"Phew, that is close. Minori, are you alright?"

Minori looks at Shiki and nodded her head, as she stood tall, and she than spoke out.

"Yep, I'm okay."

Shiki nodded her head, as she smiled, happy to see that her friend is okay and is not hurt from the Dead Cells that are attacking them. She looks, and sees that the Steeds are trying to chase them, but as they are too high in the air, they cannot grab onto them nor even have the radius to reach them with their ability to jump high. This made Shiki relieved, as she sighed at the fact that they are now out of harms way, and are now able to have a break from what has happened below them. Clearly, fighting the Dead Cells is a little bit too much for them to handle, as they have no idea how many will appear if they keep on fighting. But it seems that them having large numbers is the point of it all, as they are made to have this much to try and tire them out and waste all of their energy, so that they can be killed easily when they find their target. Well, they are not playing by such a rule like that when it involves the Dead Cells.

As Minori stood up, and as Shiki looked around, Shiki than saw something in the corner of her eyes. Turning around, she saw that there is a bright blood-red glow, in the distance, as a sort of shaking was seen on the city of Tokyo. This made Minori and j realize what it is.

"The Dead Cell Boss..."

Minori nodded her head, as she spoke out.

"There it is."

Shiki than clenched her fists, as moved the bats to the direction they're wanting, she spoke out.

"Let's check it out."

Later...

Shiki and Minori are able to reach the location of where their target is at, and they than landed onto the ground, as the bats are gone. And it is there, that they get to see what the target looks like, the Mirror of Vos, and needless to say, the creature does live up to its name, due to the fact that it actually resembles a mirror, with the bones acting as the edges of the mirror's glass, and the glass itself is made of a reflective form of the red liquid, and the Dead Cell core is on the top of the mirror, as well as at the middle of the mirror itself. And both Minori and Shiki can see the reflections in the red liquid that acts as the glass of the mirror.

"Wow, it really does look like a mirror!"

Minori said, as Shiki spoke out.

"Well, regardless of what it looks like, we need to take it down. We cannot take the time to marvel and express awe at its appearance, now can we?"

Shiki than walked forward, as she than looked up at the Dead Cell's core, and took a deep breath. Although it looks defenseless, she knows that it will have a trick up it's sleeve, even though it has no arms. And so, she decided to take the chance to attack it, just so she can see what it will do.

Shiki than used another one of her techniques on the Dead Cell Boss, this one being Kū Soku ZIX, as she launched red projectiles from her hat, all she she can try and see if it has any defense, and unfortunately, it did. The red shots were countered by the Mirror of Vos', by mimicking the power of the ability that Shiki used, which surprised her. Shiki landed her hat back onto her head, as she looked, and she sees that there is something coming out of it. 2 things actually, as the humanoid hands and head came one of the Mirror of Vos, and what they saw surprised the 2 Shinobi that are before their eyes. The Mirror of Vos, it used its power to make 2 Dead Cells with their own cores, and their appearances, their are shaped in a similar way to both Shiki and Minori, and even have their weapons, with the scythe blade and handle made of bone and red liquid, while the bucket is made entirely of bone with red liquid inside of it. The Mirror of Vos, it has made Dead Cell copies of both Shiki and Minori, and it seems that they are ready to fight.

Shiki and Minori readied their weapons, as they both began to fight against the Mirror of Vos' creations, their Dead Cell duplicates. And then, after a minute of looking, they finally attacked.

Shiki and Minori tried to fight against their Dead Cell selves, but the thing is, trying to fight and
