"Then yes, someone is pretending to be him! I'm sure of it!"
"....don't think you're....what's your name?"
"They gave me the name Chiyo."
"Chiyo....that sounds like my grandma's cat. Uh...yeah, Chiyo doesn't sound like she's lying. Of course, without seeing what her friend's like.....I've got nothing to go on."
"Um...we can meet them, if you'd like. It'll take a bit for me to set up a meeting, but....."

"No, no, you don't understand! This isn't like him!"
"You saying, some kind of imposter?"
"Maybe? ....what, exactly, is an imposter?"

Alicia, however, proves a LOT harder to dislodge. For all the talk of her poor positioning, it seems a lot of effort has been put into removing the small Fera without much success.

Chiyo frowns.
"He's....a friend, but....I didn't know he was the vigilante. When could he have been the vigilante?"

861
Orobas pauses there. After a bit, he bitterly laughs.
"You know....I can't remember either, now that you mention it. Trying to get my lost pride back so long, I can't even remember what I lost it to. Can't even remember why I chased you for so long. Just that I had to. To get what was mine. And all that made you strong is never giving up....."
"...after all this, you're no half-ass. That, I respect. Good. My pride would never let me lose to a half-assed mortal."

He takes Keith's hand. Keith realises he can feel something inside his hand, and when Orobas lets go, he finds a pair of gauntlets, resembling a sleeker version of a certain peripheral from Keith's homeland.

"Take those. I can't have you losing to the Demon Lord. Nobody beats you before I do, Piper. Not even that bastard."
Keith receives the Demon's Pledge.

Leviathan just stares at Momo.

Then, she starts laughing bitterly.

The party enters the door, Akitsuki going through first, and Mildred and Akihiko shoring up the backline. The Domain disintegrates right behind Akihiko and Midlred as they exit, the final bits crumbling into the reddish-black void of the other world...
....
The party finds themselves, as Saya confirmed, in the Helper's Club classroom. This time, the sounds of students having their lunch can be heard outside, everyone entirely oblivious to the things that have just occured to the group. The door the party has just gone through is nowhere to be seen. The sky is no longer the sickly blue it was in the Domain, a too-large moon shining over the school on a pale night, the rest of the city shrouded in fog. No, Mishima District, including the Mishima Tower, can be seen now, and the sun is shining in the sky. You are back home, for all that matters.

The clock at the top of the whiteboard tells you that not even a minute has passed in this world. Akihiko closes his eyes, and his demonic form dissipates into red mist, disappearing into thin air. Gone is Ibaraki-Douji, and returned is Kasuga Akihiko. He grabs a chair, slumping into it, breathing heavily as the adrenaline wears off.
"....that was.....a thing."

Across the rooftops on the building across, you can see Scathach and Gawain giving chase to the blue Kaijin, the Kaijin's form flickering in the sunlight. They disappear down the side of a building, away from the sight of others.

Chiyo rests against a wall.
"....I'm thankful you all made it out but....."

You also hear a knock on the door to the classroom.

863
"Origin of swords, huh? Weird. What d'you figure that means?"

864
"Something about, uh....sword styles being passed down by the thunder god?"

865
Todoroki groans as he pulls himself to his feet, looking over Madoka.
"Should be asking you the same thing. She practically knocked both of us over like we were branches in the wind."
The crocodilian Misaki dusts himself off.
"She's pretty damn strong, huh?"

Alice looks around, frowning.
"Well....we did have that mission, right? We had to get to Kaedehara and get those letters to Yusuke's dad."
"That's right, yeah. The road's blocked off, but...I do know a few roads leading there. It'll take us a week or so to get there, and there's only one town between us and there on the fastest road, so better get used to sleeping in the rough."

866
Keith surges into Orobas, darting in with his fists and landing a few hits.
"I forgot who I am, almost."

Keith takes 28 damage!

(Keith is no longer a strong starter...)
Orobas tanks the fists, and retaliates with a fierce slam of his hammer into Keith's gut. Though Keith's still standing after that, it's pretty clear that if Orobas lands even one more hit like that on him, he's down for the count.

As Keith reels from the first hit, Orobas approaches him.
"I'm a demon of tenacity, kid. Demons like us, we don't give up. We don't know the meaning of giving up."
He drags his hammer across the ring.
"You little bastard. You took my pride from me. My clan looked at me like some sort of weakling. You had me lurking for twenty years trying to get it back. Tracking you down. Had me chomping at the bit for the chance to take what was mine back. Lost my fire for years. And when I found you, I got it back. Rebuilt from the ground up."
"Now, now I get it back. The winner is the one who never gives up. So go down, Piper!"

~~Enemy Phase~~
Orobas lifts his hammer over Keith.
"COME ON! IT'S OVER!"

Orobas is defeated!
In the blink of an eye, it is indeed over.

Orobas' hammer strike misses as Keith passes through it, using his Wish to make it happen. Long enough to avoid the swing, long enough to dart in with another one-two combo. The grizzled demon doesn't go down even from that, however, and so it takes one more, hefty strike to beat him.

The crowd cheers, as Orobas falls to his knees, using his hammer to prop himself up. Unlike every other time Keith has beaten him, however, the demon is still conscious, barely even winded.
"....damn. Even now, I still can't beat you."
"The hell makes you so damn strong?"

Keith has won the duel.

"...what? No. I was here to....well, destabilise this kingdom. Useless mortals you all are, easily swayed by promises of riches. What do you mean removal?"

"How will all this....you know, turn out? W-we're really going to fight the Goddesses themselves to try to f-find the truth and...."

The arrow lands perfectly on Aegaeon. Or it should. But, like Mildred, Masaru notices something about his projectile. About how it acts when it hits Aegaeon.

Specifically, it passes through him, the spot where it lands briefly sparking like the static on an old television, before the arrow sinks itself behind him, as if Vasusena's shot had passed through thin air.

Scathach takes notice of this, her armblades flaring purple, and charging directly at the Kaijin, and that is the last sight you see before entering the school.

Pixie, meanwhile, manages to crash into the same room Saya indicated; as Saya said, it was the Helper's Club room, judging by the cheerful drawings and sayings on the whiteboard. Meanwhile, the fleeing Kaijin -and Saya- manage to throw themselves into the classroom at roughly the same time Pixie arrives. Both of them find, as the Domain disintegrates behind them, that an ornate door begins to form out of thin air in front of them. The door resembles a traditional sliding door, an elegant tapestry of moons and stars across the door.

"Must be the exit. Come on, let's go!"
Akihiko throws the sliding door open, blinding light obscuring the other side.

868
"It could be going better. A few more visitors."
Isabella continues controlling her plants, only for a shadowy arrow to knock her down as Isabeau makes her arrival.

"I salute you, Princess of the Forest, for I, Isabeau du Archambault, recognise when others are talented. But the wheel of fate spins in my favour."

Theodora, meanwhile, deftly avoids Astrea's strikes and, almost off-handedly, uses her Arte to manipulate her spear, throwing it once at her to throw her off-balance, regaining control of it with her telekinesis, and slamming it once more into Astrea.
"You're right, this is no duel. We will not win today; we're not as strong, clearly. But....I will be damned if we don't make you work for your victory."
She catches her spear again, twirling it and returning to her position.

Andreas, meanwhile, takes a few spears to the face for his trouble, with Theodora glaring intensely at Astrea as Andreas calls out for assistance.

Before Kruger can recover from the earier beating to the shins, he gets hurled across the battlefield by Alicia's Arte, Delwyn watching him sail past to hit the exact same tree she was pulling herself out of a moment ago.

Despite the new attacker's size, they are almost inhumanly agile. A hail of icy knives pierces through the fog, slicing through and barely missing Mori, stopping his attempt to pick up Saya as they embed themselves into the ground in front of Mori. The newly arrived Kaijin barrels through, and Mildred clearly sees one or two of the objects she throws at him hit, but she can't tell if they bounced off him or passed through him. For her troubles, Mildred gets thrown back as the Kaijin throws out a massive burst of ice, Mildred's charge being stopped dead by the ice.

The Kaijin continues his unstoppable charge, Akihiko barely pulling himself to his feet in time to hurl a fireball at him. The Kaijin barely even flinches.
"Just give up. You can't even-"

Suddenly, a trail of embers shaped like cherry blossom petals sweeps across the Domain, as Gawain's sword bursts aflame, the Kaijin barely stopping in time to avoid a burst of flame from the White Knight of Mishima, the white Kaijin's cape bursting into flame behind him. The blue Kaijin drops some of their knives to instead gesture to the ground below Gawain, shadows beginning to form, only for Scathach to charge at the newcomer, armblades glowing with purple energy, forcing them to back off.

Gawain turns back to the others. Suddenly, you are aware of the Domain beginning to crack. Golden cracks begin to skitter across the Domain's landscape, and the sides begin to crumble, revealing a reddish black void where whatever comprises the Domains once was.
"The Domain is falling apart! Get out of here! The exit is near one of the classrooms on the third floor! One with a billboard in front of it!"
"He's stronger than you are! We can take him! Go!"
"T-that's the....Helper's Club room! Guys, follow me!"

The blue Kaijin simply lowers his knives, beginning to stalk around them, looking for a way to get to Chiyo and Saya.
"The White Knight and the Princess of Calamity. And me, the Ocean King. A true triple threat."
He laughs.
"Don't act so heroic. I can handle you two. I've done it before."

Saya immediately grabs Akihiko's hand, managing to pull him over with surprising strength.
"Akkun! Let's go!"
"Saya! ....dammit. Let's get out of here!"
Saya manages, despite Akihiko's increased mass, to pull Akihiko into the school. The red Kaijin's unseen eyes remain on the blue Kaijin, however, being held off by the other two veterans. Chiyo barely manages to stumble in after, still in shock.
"...no way he'd....do something like this. Right?"

870
Then suddenly...
"Akkun, look out!"
Akihiko's head swivels suddenly to the left as a pair of icy daggers soar through the air. While they are flying in Akihiko's direction, they seem to be aimed at Saya, next to him. Without missing a beat, Akihiko throws himself in front of Saya, the daggers embedding themselves in his shoulder. The young man hisses, standing back up, the daggers beginning to melt from the heat emanating off his body.

He whips around to stare at their would-be attacker, hidden in icy mists.
"...my, my. You....I have thought you would have become an Akuma and Akitsuki the Kaijin. But then...you were always the one to play hero."

For a brief moment, the shadow in the mists appears to be a short, small figure. In the blink of an eye, the shadow turns into a hulking figure, the mist clearing as a figure in blue armor, a blank faceplate with a single, purple eye, staring down at them, four arms protuding from their shoulders, each one equipped with a knife.
"....I came too early. That Akuma is a threat. Let me get rid of them."

Akihiko runs at them, fist surging with flames.
"The only way you're getting your hands on Saya is over my dead body! Bring it!"
"Wait! Kasuga!"

The figure extends one arm at Akihiko, before ice crystals erupt from the ground in a rapidly approaching line towards Akihiko, knocking the boy off of his feet and backwards. Saya runs to him.
"Akkun!"
"...hm. Not as tough as you look."

Chiyo seems to be in shock.
"....wait. It can't be....you, can it?"
The figure stares at Chiyo right back, and freezes.

"....I didn't expect you to be here. Dammit. It seems I'll have to get rid of you too."
