OST PLAYING: DIE SCREAMING



Nyx and Hifumi knew fighting was fucking worthless. Koharu was already gone—twisted into something else, something darker, something not her.

But it didn’t matter. Because Koharu lunged at them anyway.

Hifumi fired a shot straight at her chest—BANG.

Koharu didn’t flinch. She caught the bullet with her bare hand, twisted her fingers, and propelled it back at triple the speed.

CRACK.

Hifumi was hit. The force knocked her to the ground as blood splattered against the cold floor.

Nyx froze. Fuck.

She summoned her scythe, gripping it tightly, but Koharu was faster.

SLAM.

The scythe was knocked from her hands before she could even swing, and then—BAM. Koharu's fist crashed into her face.

Nyx staggered, but Koharu didn’t let up. She grabbed her by the throat and slammed her into the wall.

“This isn’t the way to fight it!” Nyx coughed, her fingers wrapping around Koharu’s arm, struggling to breathe. “Fight the damn Chroma, not us!”

Koharu didn’t listen.

She lifted her gun, pressing it against Nyx’s ribs.

BANG. BANG. BANG.

Nyx gasped. The pain was immediate, unbearable. She felt her body shutting down, but she gritted her teeth and tried to hold on.

She had to hold on.

“Goddammit…” she muttered, her vision swimming.

Summoning every ounce of strength left in her, she activated her Annihilation Form—but before she could even fully manifest it—

CRACK.

Koharu’s foot smashed into her stomach, launching her through the fucking wall.

Nyx crashed into the floor of the next room, groaning in agony.

Mika sat there, eyes wide, unable to comprehend what the hell was happening.

Nyx spat blood onto the floor, looking up at her. “Get the hell out of here.”

Mika hesitated.

Then she ran—straight at Koharu.

BAD MOVE.

Koharu caught Mika mid-charge and slammed her into the bed so hard the frame nearly snapped.

Something inside Nyx snapped too.

She lunged, her leg shooting out in a brutal sweep, knocking Koharu’s legs out from under her.

Koharu barely had time to react before Nyx launched herself into the air, using her scythe to propel her body into a devastating mid-air roundhouse kick.

[IMPACT FRAME X2]

The force was enough to send Koharu skidding back, blood flying from her lips.

Nyx didn’t let up. She grabbed Koharu, lifted her with all the strength she had left, and slammed her into the fucking floor.

But Koharu wasn’t finished.

She pushed herself up, eyes burning with something inhuman.

WHAM.

A fist to Nyx’s gut.

[IMPACT FRAME]

The sheer force shattered the surrounding walls, sending rubble flying everywhere.

Koharu screamed.

“THE END OF ALL THINGS. XVIII.”

Nyx had no fucking clue what the hell that meant.

Then she got kicked in the face.

“THE SKY IS SCREAMING AT ME.”

BAM.

A punch to the ribs.

“YOUR BLOOD IS WARM.”

WHAM.

A combo of hits—face, stomach, ribs, shoulder—Nyx was being thrown around like a goddamn ragdoll.

Hifumi was already out cold on the ground.

Nyx gritted her teeth, waiting for an opening. Just one fucking opening.

Koharu threw another punch—

This was it.

Nyx ducked under it and slammed her fist straight into Koharu’s neck.

CRACK.

Koharu choked, collapsing onto the ground.

Her body started glitching, as if the Chroma’s hold on her was breaking.

Nyx knelt over her, her voice still dead inside. “Calm the fuck down already…”

Koharu twitched, her body shifting back to normal. The corruption faded, her breath coming in sharp, ragged gasps.

She clutched her head, her voice breaking. “W-What… What the hell just happened…?”

Nyx didn’t answer. She was too exhausted to give a shit.

Meanwhile.

Seia was alone.

Trapped.

A void of endless darkness surrounded her.

She was dead.

She died screaming.

No.

She died without fighting back.

She died without saying a single fucking word.

Her fingers clenched into fists.

Is Mika okay?

Is Nagisa here too?

She didn’t know.

Her Salvation Form—the thing that was supposed to fucking save her—had failed.

No second chance. No revival. No miracle.

Her breathing was ragged. Her teeth gritted.

This was bullshit.

“FUCK. THIS.”

Her voice echoed through the void.

Her body trembled, not in fear, but rage.

“FUCK YOU, GODLIKE ENTITIES. FUCK YOU FOR NOT LETTING ME FIGHT BACK. FUCK YOU FOR LETTING ME FUCKING DIE.”

The darkness rippled around her, as if the void itself was listening.

But Seia didn’t give a shit.

She wasn’t staying here.

She wasn’t fucking done.

She took a step forward.

Then another.

Then another.

“I don’t give a flying fuck if I have to crawl out of hell itself,” she muttered, her voice low, deadly, determined.

Her tail flicked behind her. Her ears twitched.

She kept walking.

Through the endless abyss.

She would find her way back.
