The Day You Vanished with the Stars/Story/Huodou

Huodou is the 8th chapter of the The Day You Vanished with the Stars storyline.
==Summary==
Kongming and Captain follow traces left by Huodou and reach the ancient battlefield. There they find wounded Rita standing amidst the smoke caused by her battle against the beast, calling it out for hiding. As Kongming tends to her wounds, Rita started reminiscing about their many years of history.
Sometime later, Huodou re-emerges and the battle begins anew. Rita managed to knock the beast down but Kongming's formation wasn't enough to seal it. Kongming quickly deducts that the beast must have gained an ability to connect to the ruins and absorb power from it and the seals. However, having absorbed too much energy, Huodou would soon self-destruct.
With no time or thought to spare, Captain redirects the beast's attention to himself and runs towards a cliff above the sea, hoping to at least sink it before it explodes. Paying little attention to his surroundings, Captain trips and falls into a pit found just ahead of the cliff. Nonetheless, the plan succeeded as he heard a muffled explosion while falling. He also heard Tesla-Zero counting down, which he rightfully assumed was the time until he'd be teleported back into the future. With Rita and Kogming alive, the future should look brighter this time. Right?
