As they inflicted those wounds on Nakiri, she raised her head up and let out a pained roar.
She was engulfed by the red aura that sent the Bacchus' and Diana flying off and the scythes dropped to the ground.
Nakiri clutched her head, stumbling slightly as a part that was still conscious was attempting to fight off the rage inside her before she screamed at the top of her lungs as her aura flared and shot dozens of rage energy orbs in every direction.
Izanami and Nephthys quickly got up and avoided getting by the orbs.
Hercule ducked his head down as he saw the orbs exploding into red energy as they hit the walls before looking at Nakiri with clenched teeth but din't leave Theseus's side.
"Is there any to get her to calm down, somehow!?" Hercule asked.
"One of her elemental knives should somehow counteract her rage, right? Assuming the knives aren't destroyed at this point, I believe someone grabbed them all while this shit was going down!" Dietz said, while hiding behind a wall to avoid getting blasted.

"If the darkness one still works, then the rest should.." Erinye said,
As the many fake Bacchus's all dispersed, and the real Bacchus slumped to the ground after hitting the wall head-first. Diana looked over to him.
"Bacchus grabbed most of them!" Diana called out to Dietz. "Would the sadness one work!?"

"Rage and Sadness are both emotions that contrast each other, so I think it should-shit!" Dietz yelped, as he leaped in the air before he could of gotten hit by a rage orb that exploded on the wall.

Diana ran straight for Bacchus, as he slowly lifted his head up, quickly returning to the real world.
"Bacchus, use the sadness knife!" Diana called out.
"..What?" Bacchus asked, somewhat concussed.
"The Sadness Knife!" Diana repeated, barely dodging a explosion.
Bacchus then snapped to attention, reaching into his trouser pockets and pulling out the sadness knife; he held it up and a blue beam shot out of it, like a laser pointer, striking Nakiri directly in the forehead.

Nakiri got hit and stumbled slightly as she looked confused, as if she din't know how to react with her emotions whether to be angry or sad.
The aura around her disappeared and placed her hands on her face and shrunk down slightly but din't change back to normal just quite yet as she shook her head and was about to charge at Bacchus-
Then Hercule got in the way, slashing at Nakiri's horns and cut them off before he went behind her, pulling his arms around her waist to keep her still.
"Hit her again!" Hercule yelled, while getting elbowed in the ribs, which hurt like hell but din't let go.

Bacchus mimed a stabbing motion, as another sadness blast shot out of the knife and struck Nakiri right in the eyes. Causing instant tears.

And with that blast.
Nakiri grabbed her face with her hands, roaring in pain as she began shrinking down, her skin was changing back to it's original colour along with her hair, her sharp nails and teeth retracted back, her body deflated like a balloon and her eyes changed back to blue.
"Nakiri!" Izanami yelled, running towards her.
Nakiri, looking somewhat dazed, was stumbling slightly as Hercule let's go off her.
"...W-what, what was I? Ugh!" Nakiri said.
She looked and her wounds were beginning to catch up as her shirt was being soaked in her own blood, her body was burned out from the rage element, she was in no condition to fight anymore.
"F-fuck, it hurts!" Nakiri exclaimed, gritting her teeth.
When she turned around to look at the others, she now realized what was going on and tried to run off only to get blasted in her right side by Dietz.
"Gah!" Nakiri spat blood out.
Nakiri stumbled as she walked backwards, pressing her back against the wall and collapsed, breathing in and out as she tried to stop the bleeding with her own hands.
Izanami gasped before turning to look at Dietz, who had a vengeful look on his face with smoke coming out of his weapon as he started marching towards Nakiri.
Nephthys got in his way.
"Nakiri is no longer a threat to us, the battle is over!" Nephthys said.
"...She is still alive, isn't she? I'm not threw with her just yet." Dietz said, sounding pissed off.
He shoved Nephthys out of his way and continued walking towards Nakiri.
"Dietz, stop!" Hercule yelled, going after him.

"...You want to kill her?" Erinye asked. Looking straight to Dietz.
Theseus let out a cough and looked down at Nakiri. Bacchus kept the sadness knife out, just in case.

Dietz said nothing to Erinye as he stood in front of Nakiri, his finger was on the trigger and aiming it right at her forehead.
Nakiri, looking tired and pained, just looked up at Dietz, she din't look afraid at all.
"NO!" Izanami yelled, right behind Dietz and holding her sword.
Hercule went up to Dietz, standing at his side.
"Dude, what the hell are you doing!?" Hercule asked.
"I'm giving this bitch what she deserves, if we turn our backs for just a second, she will stab one of us or try to escape, and then she will come back and do the same shit again and again, atleast this way she won't be able to hurt us again!" Dietz yelled.
"If you take her life then you won't be any better than the man who killed your own comrades, especially when she is not in any shape to fight back! There is no coming back after this!" Nephthys said.
"Oh, give me a break, Nephthys, those are two different situations! I din't get poisoned by my own crew, I got poisoned by someone from her side and she is working with those maniacs to kill us all! I'm not gonna kill her because she was too 'weak' to continue the fight, I want to kill her so she won't harm us anymore!" Dietz yelled, looking enraged as he was letting out all the emotions he kept bottling inside him up until now.
"It doesn't have to be that way, man, this is how pirates handle their business, not us! Look, she can be of some use to us if we keep her alive, she can have some useful information or use her as a bargaining chip to get F2 to hand us over their orb and in exchange we-" Hercule tried to say.
"The moment they heard we've got one of them captured, they'll want to kill us rather than negotiate, that's how they solve their problems with murders, so it's time one of us responded to them with a similar answer!" Dietz argued.
He turned his head to everyone.
"Wake the fuck up, people! We can't reason with or be nice to these assholes, they don't want to negotiate, they want us dead and I'm sick and tired of them and everything in this Universe trying to kill us day in and day out, we don't need her alive anyways, Erinye can simply use her power to get all the info we need from her soul and once we're done with her, I say we keep a part of her body so we can show it to her team, those fucking pirates, that bitch and her dragon to give them a clear message that this will happen to the rest of them if they don't stop fucking with us! If the Royal Guard can't win by talking, then we'll have to try another way, we'll put the fear in all of them, make them fear for their lives! That ISP guy was right about one thing, all these guys together are nothing but wasted trash and just like trash, it's our job to toss them into a garbage can and be done with them, first starting with her!" Dietz concluded, turning his attention back to Nakiri.
"...I was right about you, fuckers. Go ahead, I'm not afraid to die, if this is how you want to change the way of your people, then do it." Nakiri said with narrowed eyes, even as she was now, she wasn't afraid of dying.
Izanami, however, stood in front of Nakiri, with her sword aimed at Dietz and looked enraged.
"If you lay one finger on her, I will cut both of your hands off so drop it!" Izanami said, meaning every word she said as Nakiri had a surprised expression on her face as she looked at Izanami.
"...Of course you would still have their back even after all this time, after all, trash look after trash, right?" Dietz asked, still aiming the gun and din't hesitate to shoot through Izanami in order to get to Nakiri.

"Hey!" Diana called out, running up to Izanami's side and glaring at Dietz. "What the fuck, Dietz? You've been spouting all sorts of nonsense ever since our ship crashed! I understand that you're angry, and that you almost died, but you're crossing a serious line here!
I didn't join the royal guard to do that kind of fucked up shit, okay? So knock it off!"

Dietz turned to Diana.
"And what is the alternative to deal with these guys, huh? Just to put them behind bars and pray to the Gods that they stay there till they rot? That asshole from 4 managed to escape prison very easily, it won't be long till they get out and try to get revenge by hunting us down and try to hurt the people we love. What good will the Royal Guard be if all of us end up dead because we keep hesitating from putting these freaks down-"
Dietz din't finish his sentence as he received a fist in the face from Hercule who had his arm extended out, knocking him on the floor and the gun slid away from him.
Izanami and Nephthys, both looking surprised as they turned to look at Hercule.
Hercule himself looked pissed, doing this hurt him more than Dietz by punching his lights out to get him to snap out of it, panting slowly before turning to Bacchus.
"Take that damn gun away to make sure he doesn't do something stupid with it that he will regret for the rest of his life." Hercule said, it din't sound like a request, it sounded like a order.

Diana backed up, the surprise from seeing Dietz get clocked was enough to completely shock all of the anger out of her system.
Bacchus nodded silently, walking over and picking the gun up.
"...Are you okay, Hercule?" Theseus asked.

Hercule turned to Theseus.
"No, I wanted to put an end to this nonsense before someone's brains would of painted these walls. I created this team so we can fix everything that's wrong with our society, not to do a better job at murdering people than the damn pirates and make the Cromwells proud of us, I lost my temper as I kept hearing Nigel say all that shit and...I just couldn't watch him do this so I had to step in." Hercule said, taking a deep breath before he turned to look at Dietz.
It seems the punch also knocked Dietz back to his senses as he was sitting there with his hand placed on his red cheek before Hercule crouched down in front of him.
"...I'm sorry man, I din't want to do that but...that shit just pissed me off, I'm not happy with these guys either but I don't want to achieve victory by getting blood on our hands either, if I let you pull the trigger, I wouldn't forgive myself and I had many hours to kick myself for not being there to save you from Kumo, so don't cross the line, man, I'm not asking as a leader, I'm asking you as a best friend." Hercule said, looking sad.
Dietz looked Hercule and frowned to him, only now realizing what he was actually about to do and what he would have done.
"...I'...I'm sorry too, I don't know what the hell I was thinking, ever since we left Plague, shit has been just...God, what was I thinking?" Dietz asked, before he paused himself as he placed his hand on his face.
Hercule placed his hand on his shoulder, Nephthys looked relieved while Izanami turned her attention to Nakiri who refused to look at either one of them as she laid against the wall.
"...Let me handle her. She is my friend." Izanami requested to the others.

"..Alright. We'll leave her to you." Diana said. "Just, don't do anything foolish, please."

"I have done enough foolish things for a lifetime, it's time I fix this now." Izanami said.
And with that, she walked to Nakiri and crouched down.
"...Are you okay?" Izanami asked.
"...My head hurts like hell, if that's what you are asking." Nakiri said, not looking at her.
"You nearly killed yourself by trying to shove all that rage element into yourself, you had me worried, Nakiri, if something happened to you-" Izanami said.
"Don't act like you actually care. If you really gave a shit, you wouldn't of abandoned us like everyone else, after everything we've been through, you, you...ugh, my head is so fucked up I don't even know what to say to you right now and no matter how many times you will apologize, it won't make what you did just magically go away, and no magic genies will make that shit go away either despite what the others think." Nakiri said, glaring straight at Izanami.
"...You're off to a good start, so far." Dietz muttered to Izanami, looking unsympathetic to Nakiri.
