They were about to leave, but a strange familiar feeling for Mike causes him to react and put Liz behind him.
"Wow, that's the first time you feel my presence" Said a voice coming from a boy who was slowly approaching them and they both are surprised to see who it is.
"It's good to see you again...Erick" Mike said with a smile and something calmer when he saw that it was Erick, but he also knows that if he is here it's because something happened with Raizor.
"It is also good to see you again, former commander and former captain of the German army, I came because I need your help" Erick tells them looking at them seriously while the sound of the Japanese army helicopters approaching so Mike and Liz leave together with Erick so no one will see them.
ACTUALLY
Mike and Liz accompany Erick to where his car was hidden from the lights of the army helicopters, but besides that they notice that two more girls are also there, Mike knows who they are while Liz only feels some more discomfort because of the presence of one of the girls.
"We don't have much time, in about thirty minutes the general will send ground equipment to investigate" Said one of the girls who looks at Erick who nods and then looks at the other two who don't understand what is going on.
"So, this is Lena and Euphi" Mike says as he looks at the girls making Liz feel jealous so she looks seriously at both girls, but before she says anything she is interrupted by Euphi.
"Relax, both Lena and I are already interested in other guys, so don't look at us with that face" Euphi tells her with a smile then looks at Erick who blushes a little, but then looks back at Mike and Liz.
Erick tells them everything that had been going on, even though it had been on the news that he and Euphi were fugitives for kidnapping Lena which is a lie, but that was how Lena's mother got them to be in everyone's sights as the bad guys.
Mike and Liz are surprised to learn that Marc is in on it, but they are also more surprised to hear that Raizor won't wake up even though his injuries aren't that bad.
"I understand everything, but why do you need our help Erick?" Mike asks him looking at Erick curiously to which he pulls out the map he had shown the girls earlier.
"Because you are the only ones who will be able to access most of these camps" Erick answers him staring at him as he passes the map to Mike who realizes what the consequence will be if they destroy those camps.
"It's ok, we will help you" Mike said surprising Lena and Euphi as they thought he was going to ask them more questions, but he only gave the map back to Erick who smiles to immediately give some explosives to Mike who grabs them.
"Just one thing, don't attack the camp below the Striker family house" Erick tells them before they leave causing Mike to nod and turn around to leave, but before they leave Liz stares at Erick.
"Why do you always trust us?" Liz asks Erick seriously who smiles as he remembers the fight he had with her in Germany where he killed everyone and left her alive only because Raizor wanted him to.
"Because I know you are not going to betray the person who gave you the option to be able to live here without anyone knowing who you really are, thanks to Raizor you can be with Mike and you know it so, until he decides so you will continue having missions like that, whether you like it or not Liz" Answers Erick seriously and with a smile making Lena and Euphi surprised to hear that, besides Liz sighs to turn around and go with Mike who smiles at her.
"That's for sure, and tell him when he wakes up that I thank him for not killing Mike that day" Liz tells him with a smile as she leaves with Mike and they disappear into the darkness of the forest after the sun starts to shine brighter marking the fact that today will be where Germany will lose everything.
"Now all we have left to do is wait for the night to come" Euphi said looking out the car window as they drove back to the abandoned cathedral as they left Raizor alone which worried Lena a little.
After they arrived Euphi and Erick were talking while Lena was feeling a little uneasy as she still doesn't believe that her mother has anything to do with all this, plus that would also mean that she didn't go to England with her brothers and father.
"Did you always try to create someone just like Raizor knowing that's impossible" Lena thinks in her mind as she walks behind the boys, but then stops as she notices Erick and Euphi looking surprised inside the place.
"This has to be a fucking joke" Said Erick after seeing that the door was ajar and immediately without thinking he kicks it seeing how everything was destroyed and Raizor was gone only a message with the emblem of Germany.
"They took him away" Euphi says clenching her fists, but then sees how Lena is in shock so she goes over and tries to stop her from crying since she could have stayed, but she wanted to go with them knowing that Raizor would be left alone.
"I should have stayed, it's my fault they took him" Lena says in tears as Euphi comforts her by telling her that it wasn't her fault and that they are going to find him, but then they watch as Erick reads the message and immediately hits the table breaking it in half.
"It was Lena's mother" Erick says before the girls ask him, Lena is shocked and goes over to read the message realizing that he is telling the truth.
"Bring Lena and I will let Raizor live" Euphi said reading the final part of the message which causes Lena to start clenching her fists and for the first time in her life she hates her mother for what she is doing, giving her to understand that it won't do any good to try to talk to her so she looks at Erick seriously.
"Erick...tell Mike there will be a little change of plans" Lena tells him with anger in her eyes making Erick smile as he knows what she wants to do, as does Euphi who also smiles.
"What are we going to do Lena?" Euphi asks staring at her with her smile at her best friend who walks outside and they both see how her right hand starts to emanate an aura of fire something that made it clear that Lena was angry.
"Let's go visit someone I know and then go rescue the reaper" Lena replies to him with a serious look and with a smile making Erick and Euphi look at each other and smile then go with her as their new mission in retrieving the reaper.
SOUTH EAST SIDE OF JAPAN
On a hill stood Nate and Crista watching from afar what had happened in the abandoned cathedral and that they kidnapped Raizor, thanks to both of them having an ability to see everything from afar they could see everything that happened before Erick, Lena and Euphi arrived.
"Hey Nate, why did you let Raizor get kidnapped?" Crista asks him leaning back by a tree looking at Nate who is sitting on a rock looking out over the city with a smile, then he stands up and looks at Crista out of the corner of his eye with a smile.
"They have time before the Christmas party arrives, besides it was about time she made the decision to want to face her mother" Nate replies to her turning around to look at the city again which is seen to be calm and beautiful within everything.
"It's a pity that this beautiful city has to suffer the consequences of what will happen at the Christmas party" Nate says after turning around again to start leaving because they have to go back to Spain after receiving some news that caught his attention.
"Nate...you know for a fact the fight is not going to happen at the Christmas party you only said that so you could bring him from hell" Crista said causing Nate to slow down and appear out of nowhere in front of her with an angry stare at her, but then he kisses her then turns to leave again.
"You're right, but that doesn't take away from the fact that when the fight comes, the world will have to make a decision, accept the reaper as the hero or continue to see him as the villain he is" Nate says with a smile as he walks making Crista sigh and go with him without first looking back at the city which they won't see again when they get back.
NORTH SIDE OF JAPAN
Erick, Euphi and Lena arrive at a house where a person lives who knew Lena's mother since they were kids so she always visited them, but after a while she stopped visiting them and they never knew why, although now Lena may get to have an idea of what really happened.
"Lena, what did we come here to do?" Euphi asks her after getting out of the car and following her to the house, where Lena knocks on the door and a gentleman opens being surprised to see that it is Lena so he can't help but hug her, but then he sees Erick and Euphi.
"To look for an answer with the only person who knows my mother better than anyone else" Lena answers him while they greet the man who understands what she is referring to so he invites them in.
Lena without waiting too long tells the gentleman everything that was happening making Erick and Euphi a little worried since Lena trusts the gentleman too much, but they realize that he is not surprised to hear everything so they understand that he is actually someone they trust.
"I see, so your mother is back to her old self" Said the lord sighing and leaving the guys a bit surprised as he said that Lena's mother was back to her old self, giving them to understand that the information Raizor and Erick had gotten about her was not a lie.
"What does she want from Raizor?" Lena asks staring at the gentleman who sighs as he stands up to grab a file which he then drops on the table for them to see, they are shocked to read the title 'Tracker Experiment' where again Lena's mother appeared as responsible, but with the difference that this experiment is almost twenty years old and had also been canceled.
"Your mother, she wants to create a tracker with Raizor's blood, which would cause the person who was subjected to that experiment to get some of his powers" The lord answers him sitting down while looking at the kids who can't believe it especially Lena and Euphi since Erick knew something about that experiment, but that Lena's mother was also a part of.
"If he does that, it would cause the bearer of the light element to locate them and Raizor won't be able to fight him" Erick says drawing everyone's attention because they forgot about the person who carries the light element that Raizor once mentioned to Lena.
"Wait a minute Erick, wasn't that guy somewhere in northern Alaska?" asks Euphi looking at Erick who sighs as he knows he must now tell the two girls something about the light element bearer.
"That was two years ago, but in the mission that the academy had given them, when we were leaving for a few minutes his power was felt from a distance, that's why we knew that Ken had found Raizor after his confrontation in America five years ago" Erick answers him leaving Euphi surprised as well as the lord, but both later see that Lena is not that surprised since she knew about it because Raizor had told her about it.
"We have to stop my mother, before it's too late" Lena says standing up as she looks at Erick and Euphi who nod, but before they leave Lena hugs the lord as a sign of thanks.
"One more thing Lena, remember that your mother is only doing this, out of fear that someday you will get hurt because of him, but seeing you I can be sure that you are no longer that little girl that needs protection" The lord tells her with a smile before they leave, making Lena smile and nod to what he told her.
The three leave the house and go to the cars, but before they get in Lena senses the presence of someone right behind her so she turns and throws a knife she was carrying in her waist causing the other person to catch it before it hits her in the face.
"Wow what good reflexes you have Lena" Said the person leaving the three in shock especially Erick and Euphi as they couldn't believe who it was.
"I see you decided to stop hiding...Anna" Said Erick somewhat flustered by the presence of the reaper's younger sister who handed the knife back to Lena as she approached them.
"They kidnapped my brother, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing" Anna says with a smile as she looks at Erick, but then looks at Lena who looks at her in a serious yet somewhat somber manner.
"I see you made the right decision Lena, I'm glad you chose to stand by my brother and his friends" Anna tells her with a smile causing Lena to sigh and walk towards Euphi's car to get in without first giving Anna another hard stare.
"Just because you are Raizor's sister doesn't mean I trust you, and I don't plan to until this is all over" Lena says causing Euphi and Erick to be a little surprised, but they understand her so they don't say anything only look at Anna who smiles at Lena's words.
Anna gets into Euphi's car too, but in the back while Lena gets in the front looking sideways from time to time at Anna who only smiles seeing that she doesn't really trust her.
Erick, who was ahead of the girls, receives a call from Mike telling him that they are ready to act, they just need his order, to which Erick comments that Raizor's sister showed up and that there is also a possibility that Ken will show up.
Mike can't believe that Ken is in Japan since just like Euphi he thought he was in northern Alaska, he is also surprised to hear that Raizor's sister showed up after she has been wanted worldwide as a high danger criminal, giving the target for all the armies of the world to kill her.
"Wait Mike, what do you mean Anna is targeted by the world?" asks Erick confused by what Mike told him about Raizor's sister that as far as they knew she was forced to be in on the war by the director when the death spies team had been disbanded.
"As I remember, at least fifteen years ago Anna was entered into an experiment since unlike her brother, she was different because she can only use affinity with one element, but several people at that time thought that maybe there is a possibility that Anna can become a modified soldier" Mike answers him leaving Erick in shock when he hears about 'modified soldier' because that was the first attempt to create someone who can stop the reaper, but it was canceled because of the supposed failure that Erick himself had been in charge of preventing them from continuing trying at Raizor's request.
"That means then Raizor's sister was the test subject, but it's impossible that experiment was canceled and then prevent them to keep trying so that the balance in the war is not lost" Erick says while he sees in the distance Lena's house where around fifty people are protecting the whole place.
"Actually Erick, it was cancelled because Raizor's sister could take it and she was the only one who came out intact, plus the scientists and the other people knew that the reaper was going to send someone to stop them so they decided that they would go to great lengths to hide Anna's result to train her so that one day she can face the reaper, not knowing that they were siblings, but when they found out about that it was too late since she left after having been working for several countries and they put her as a target for elimination when they knew the truth, that's all I know" Mike tells him surprising even more Erick who only remains thinking that the director maybe for the first time had made them fall in the biggest lie he could do to them.
"Thanks Mike, I'll let them know when they set off the explosives" Erick tells him as he brakes twenty meters from Lena's house so that they do too since the guards are ready to attack them as soon as they see them.
Erick gets out of his car to then face Anna who realized that apparently he already knows the whole truth especially because of how he approached her in an aggressive manner.
"I see that someone already knows everything that really happened to me and the reason why I was put into this war" Anna tells him with a defiant look and a smile making Lena and Euphi look at Erick who only sighed to then give Anna a hug who is surprised.
"You don't stop being a girl who was forced and it's also our fault for having trusted the headmaster's words" Said Erick who smiles at her making her smile at him too since she didn't think he would take it that way, then Erick tells everything to Lena and Euphi who are surprised to hear the truth behind everything that happened with Anna.
"Now you are going to worry about me, how cute, I remind you that we have a mission to do, team of the spies of death" Anna tells them looking at Lena's house noticing how the guards have some somewhat strange weapons, but that she feels she had already seen somewhere else.
"What shall we do Erick?" Euphi asks him looking at his partner who sees the weapons the guards have making him remember that they are the same weapons he saw that day when they discovered Jack as one of the traitors.
"With one shot they could leave us in big trouble unless..." Erick said in his mind to then look at Lena who also looks at him giving him to understand that she will do anything as long as she can get in and rescue Raizor.
"The only thing I can think of is for Lena to go in alone and go with her mother, since the guards won't attack her because she is the daughter of their boss" Erick tells them looking at Lena who agrees with the plan, but they also know it is risky because that means she will be alone with her mother.
"And how do we get in?" Anna asks her looking at Erick who smiles and turns around looking at the top of the house seeing that there are only three guards that are protecting that part.
"Wait, I will give you a signal to intervene until then just stay there, I want to talk to my mother" Lena tells them seeing how the three smile at her and nod, she walks to go in front of the guards, but before she stops to look at Anna.
"I take back what I said about not trusting you, I really know now why Raizor wanted to take you out of this war, you are someone important to him and now I can be sure that I don't regret listening to you that day, thank you Anna" Lena tells her with a smile to then give her a hug which surprises Anna who also smiles and reciprocates the hug to then let Lena go.
"You really are an amazing girl Lena Striker, now I know why my brother fell in love with you" Anna said in her mind as she left with Erick and Euphi towards the top of a mountain so they can have an easier and stealthier access to the roof where the three guards were.
Lena approaches the gates of her house being pointed at by the guards, but they quickly lower their weapons when they see that she is the daughter of their boss so they open the gates and let her pass without first being confronted by their commander who looks at the girl from head to toe.
"I want to see my mother" Lena says staring at the commander who only turns around and gives the signal to open the doors of the house for her to pass.
Erick, Euphi and Anna jump towards the roof of the house killing the three guards to then wait for Lena to give them the signal to enter, but they also know that Raizor could come to wake up from the coma and especially Erick knows that something else could happen that Ken arrives as soon as he feels the reaper's power.
