Dempsey was at the entrance of Crystal Prep waiting for Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen. After a few minutes, the other three got the entrance and Dempsey said "Ready to start the day guys," The other three nodded and the four went inside the school. After they've got inside, the four split up like they did yesterday, Takeo and Richtofen kept going straight, Nikolai went right, and Dempsey went left. Dempsey was walking down the left hall and then he see Neon Lights and six of his friends standing there talking to each other, but he remembered him punching Neon in the face and beating up his friends to save Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen, but he also remembered that Neon was almost killed by Coppermane and helping Richtofen making sure Neon lives. Dempsey took a deep breath and went up to them. When he got to them, they all looked at Dempsey, they weren't mad and getting ready to beat him up, Neon was the first to talk "And here's the guy who saved me from Coppermane," Dempsey replied, "How are you feeling?" Neon replied to him "Alright, thanks for helping me back there," Dempsey said "You were almost killed by Coppermane, we had to stop him," Neon chuckled and said "Don't mention it, everyone helps one another," Dempsey said "Unless that one another is Coppermane," Neon laughed and so did six of them. After a few minutes of talking, they heard footsteps they turned to see who it was after they did they see five girls walking up to them. After they went up to them the first girl spoke "Hey Neon, hey guys," Neon and six of them wave at the girls, they then turned to Dempsey not knowing who he is, the second girl said: "Who are you?" Dempsey replied, "My name is Tank Dempsey, but everyone calls me Dempsey, and may I ask who you girls are?" The third girl said "I'm Sour Sweet, and my friends are Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, and she is Sunny Flare," Dempsey turned to Sunny Flare and see she is looking at Dempsey weird. Dempsey questioned, "Uh, why is she looking at me like that?" The four girls turned to Sunny Flare with confused looks on their faces, Indigo said: "I don't, we haven't seen her like that?" Dempsey wasn't sure why Sunny was looking at Dempsey that way Dempsey looked at the clock and turned back to them and said "Well, I gotta, see ya," Dempsey walked of leaving Neon, six of his friends, and the five girls waving him goodbye. Dempsey still wasn't sure why Sunny Flare was looking at him like that, but he kept walking. Crystal Prep:1:43 AM Dempsey was walking down the halls and see Sunny Flare looking at him weird again like she did when they first met, Dempsey rose an eyebrow not sure she's looking at him like that, he doesn't know but what he doesn't know if that she has a crush on him, but he continued walking. The Origins' Characters 4:21 The Origins characters went back home from school, but something hit Dempsey's mind, he remembered that Coppermane said that they had to put away their weapons when they first got to Crystal Prep, he turned to them and said "Wait, we need to get our weapons back," The three completely forgot about that, so they nodded and went back to Crystal Prep to get their weapons back. At Crystal Prep: 4:52 PM The Origins characters went back to Crystal Prep, they remembered that they put them in the bush that Coppermane told them to, so they went to the bush and see their weapons are still in there, after they got their weapons back they walked back to their house, after they did they went inside and slept for the night.
