Somehow, through sheer luck, Magatsu managed to avoid the second Megidola, raising his sword over his head before bringing an Atom Smasher crashing down Thanatos.

Seito, meanwhile, went stumbling away from Minato, clutching at his chest. It hurt... he could feel that emptiness starting inside of him, hollowing out his chest and threatening to consume him. He didn't want to feel so empty... he just wanted to have that emptiness filled, so he didn't have to be so dead inside; so he didn't have to think about how dead he had been since she died. Was that too much to ask for?

"Bastard..." he hissed, reaching out, like he was clawing for that desperate need to feel alive.
