"We can stop with all this. Just walk out, I will call a meeting and announce we found the killer. They will be more than happy to believe it's a downer," Lava said, putting her hand up to keep Yuno and Elmo at bay.
"You expect me to just let you kill whoever you want and control the rest?" Rye asked just before being notified by the system that auto-regeneration had been initiated.
The cut in his palm started to heal.
"This has nothing to do with you. I am allowing you to walk away," Lava said.
"No, I'm not leaving. Not like this," Rye replied.
"You can stay but nothing about me killing. The choice is yours," Lava said and everything started to slow down.

He looked up at Lava who was mouthing something in slow motion. He looked at Yuno and Elmo behind her.

The screen faded.
"You give me no choice," Lava said and stepped back. Immediately, Yuno and Elmo pounced. He parried Yuno's attack and grabbed onto Elmo's ice blade.
A pillar of ice shot up and hit him in the chin. The impact knocked him off balance. As he stumbled backward.
Elmo thrust his blade at him. The ice dagger grew in an instant piercing his abdomen. Rye swung at the ice sword and cut it off. He stumbled back with the ice blade sticking out of him.
Elmo's blade regenerated in an instant. Yuno jumped and swung down at Rye cutting him on the shoulder.
Rye fell on his knees and Yuno kicked him in the chest letting him fall on his ass.
"What are you waiting for? Kill him!" Lava screamed as he watched Yuno standing over Rye.
He lifted his sword and stared at Rye. The image of the sunken-eyed Rye with the creepy smile flashed before him. Rye looked away.
Lava looked at him and made a gesture with her hand. The strings around Yuno tightened and cuts appeared all over his body. His clothes slacked the blood.
'What is wrong with him? Why won't he obey me? Any tighter and I will dismember him,' Lava thought and loosened her strings on him.
Suddenly the air turned cold, and Elmo's hair froze taking a spiky shape. His pupil turned white, countless ice swords formed above Rye. The swords shot down piercing Rye.
Rye screamed but his pain was cut short when he turned to ice.
