Smitten Kitten didn't even get a chance to see the black king up close and personal when the entire building began to flash and everyone was forced off. Smitten Kitten didn't even get a chance to listen when she was booted off. She found herself sitting in her house dumbfounded. Hibiki tried to log into Deep Ground a few more times, but she just kept getting an error message. This actually made her a bit sad since she had already left school and now there was no one around. She bit her lip and left the game room to do some homework.

About an hour later as Hibiki was doing her homework the school president made an announcement. First was that Deep Ground was going to be down due to technical difficulties, and that the black king wanted her members of the guild to hunt down Corpse Collector. "Wait... I saw that name before!" The memory was vague, but Hibiki was certain that she saw the name Corpse Collector riding on that truck when she was in the black city. Hibiki wondered why the black king wanted Corpse Collector, but Hibiki knew what she was going to do. She wanted to find Corpse Collector as ask her if she wants to help Hibiki defeat the black king; surely an enemy of an enemy is a friend?

Hibiki finished up the rest of her work and packed some of her things. She was going to head back to the school and try to contact Corpse Collector somehow. While Corpse Collector did seem rather eerie, Hibiki was certain that she could convince Corpse Collector to work with her, more so if Hibiki could convince that she could protect Corpse Collector now that everyone in the Ebon Styker guild wanted to go after her.
