Kaori: Thanks for understanding...now let's keep going...

Andorina: We're sorry for not telling you the full story...

As they headed towards Ted's house, somebody was watching them through a camera.

???: So they managed to drive her out...Interesting. If she was by herself, it would be a problem...But that civilian is giving me some ideas.

Then, he ordered the driver of the truck he was in to follow Kaori, while also making a phone call to call for more thugs to get in their way.

???: All I need is a distraction...and then, she'll be within my grasp in two minutes.

Central Unitia - Crossing

Asagi was dodging projectiles and shooting back at Renani, who had to actually dodge this time since he wasted a huge amount of mana energy on his Golden Erasure. The others were watching the fight from a safe distance.


Bell: He seems more focused this time around.

Fear: Calling it right now: He's probably one of those tough guys that freaks out when they know they are about to lose. I bet a 100 bucks that he'll plead for mercy once the Gunslinger Girl wins.

Bell: You that will happen?

Haken: I'm sure about that as well. If he wasn't that desperate to defeat us, he wouldn't have summoned his gold.

Hyde: Still...What the hell is he? And what's with the point ears? Is he some kind of elf?

Fear: I overhead that girl saying he's a demon...

Hyde: Demon? As in those creatures from hell?

Bell: That shouldn't be that unplausible at this point.

Hyde: You're right...

Music: High Speed Heavy Battle


Asagi: Cameo Star!!!

Asagi pulls out a wrecking ball out of nowhere and starts spinning it over her head at great speeds, creating some sort of hurricane that caught Renani and threw him upwards, then, she switched back to her guns and started shotting him. He fired his mana spheres once more in order to destroy the bullets.


Asagi: (I could just tire him out, but it's dangerous to stay here for too long...those monsters might appear again.)

Renani: I'LL CRUSH YOU!!!

She jumped away before he landed on her position with a powerful punch, scattering pieces of the asphalt everywhere. Asagi pulled a bazooka and fired upon the debris that flew in her direction, reducing it to dust.


Renani: What's wrong? I thought you said you were going to stop me? Seems like that bravado is gone after you saw what I'm capable of.

Asagi: ...

Renani: C'mon! Say something you worthless worm! You're already lower that dirt! There's no way a complete nobody is going to defeat the likes of me.

Asagi: Complete nobody huh? Well, that might as well be true.

Renani: Huh?

Asagi: Alright then, I've thought of a nice way to finish you off.

Renani: Why you...

Asagi: Ha!!!

Asagi jumped high on the air, then suddenly stopped, as if she were flying. Then, she quickly supercharged her guns with mana and shot two bullets at Renani, who couldn't react in time due to their blinding speeds. Renani was engulfed in an explosion of energy.


Renani: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hyde: Great! She finally got a hit in.

Haken: And with a quite a bang at that.

Renani: Uuuuurgh...

Hyde: He can still stand? No wonder you guys were having trouble. Maybe I'll...

Fear: Hold your horses kid...It's time for the moment of truth.

Asagi: Alright then...do you still insist of enslaving this planet or...

Music: Makai Band


Renani: PLEASE!!! HAVE MERCY!!! I'LL STOP!!! I'LL STOOOOOP!!!

Haken: Heh! Seems like we've won the bet.

Fear: You owe me a 100 now kid.

Hyde: Don't talk as if I agreed with this bet.

Fear: If money is the problem, you can pay us later with your allowance.

Hyde: Shut up! I'm not paying you anything!

Asagi: Now then...what do we do with you?

Renani: You want me to behave right? I'll promise I won't kill a single fly. I'll do whatever you want.

Asagi: I don't know...Demons are known for being backstabbers.

Renani: Look...I'll be your vassal from now on! If you ever feel like I'm plotting something, you can just shoot me okay?

Asagi: Wait, I'm not an Overlord...

Renani: Alright then, it's settled.

Renani joined the party without anyone's consent.


Asagi: Wait, not yet-

Renani: SHAPE-SHIFT!!!

Suddenly, Renani dissapeared out of sight. The group heard the sound of a coin landing on the ground right after.


Hyde: Why a coin?

Renani: I used to be a demon that came from a tribe that specialized in undercover operations. But then, my current lord decided that I was better on the frontlines, so he trained me.

Haken: The so called Tyrant has a boss huh?

Renani: I've lied about the whole Tyrant thing...I'm just a demon lord known for coloring his black hole with yellow.

Asagi: That's still fairly strong.

Fear: (Gunslinger Girl seems to know a lot about demons...Is she really from here?)

Haken: (Guess the whole thing about being tired wasn't a lie since he said that he had a fierce fight before coming here.)

Asagi: In that case, It will be safer if I just keep the coin.

Bell: You're right. With that settled...Then let's leave this place...We're not really in a condition to fight any more of these monsters for today.

Fear: Oh right...how are you feeling sheriff?

Haken: In a lot of pain...but I'll manage.

Hyde: If you think that it's too painful to walk, just give me a call and I'll help you...

Haken: The help...is appreciated... (Though, I would feel more comfortable if one of these beauties were the ones that offered help...)

Spring Zone - Sayaka's House

**High Speed Heavy Battle Plays Again**


Sheila: No need...I'm almost done here.

???: Say that after THIS!!!

Sheila blocked the incoming punch and was pushed away by the psychic aura. However, that was intentional of her part as she needed some distance.


???: I WON!!!

A familiar presence

Music: Einsatz


???: You're going to use my gift once more right? Go ahead...and make sure nobody stands in your way!


"That voice...I'm sure it's the same one from one year ago. Why am I hearing it again all of a sudden after so long? Why I couldn't talk to her before? I wanted to express my gratitude for saving my life...Thanking her for giving me this extraordinary power. Please, if you can hear me through my thoughts...then I want you to know that I'm eternally grateful for your help...and that I'll keep using your great gift in order to get back at those bastards that ruined by life..."

Sheila: (Starting with this guy! I wish for time to obey my will!)

Then, the world suddenly slowed down around Sheila, the momentum of the punch made her hit a wall instead of being crushed in it by the aura punch. Then, she pulled out another knife and ran at the man, slashing his limbs in order to incapacitate him. Then, time went back to normal and all of a sudden, the man fell on the ground in pain.

A familiar sensation

All of a sudden, the time sisters and their master noticed something strange had ocurred for a few seconds.


Zeena: Whoa! Okay what? The heck? What was that?

Amilia: This sensation...don't tell me...

Isana: Was time...manipulated? But it can't be...It didn't seem like Zeena or Amilia were the ones that did it...Who did this?

Amandra: This is interesting...That same sensation from an year ago. And just like before, I still can't tell who's the one doing it...Whoever you are...You won't get away from using the power that belongs to my forces.

???: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Sheila: I told you that you would lose no matter what you've tried.

???: Urgh...W-What was that?

Sheila: Now you better stay put...

???: Like hell I will!!!

Music: close call

Suddenly, Sheila got blown away by the sudden expansion of his psychic aura. His body started to rise on the air.


Rosa: Eh? What is he doing?

Kenneth: Well now...

Sheila: Ow...Okay, now it's my turn to ask what happened?

The concentrated amount of psychic aura was visible even to normals now. It took a shape of a bigger human body, with the man floating inside of it, acting like its heart. Sheila tried attacking it, but the knife wasn't able to pierce the aura. As a result, she got hit by a slap and flung away.


Sheila: Argh!!! (Well, I knew he would use something that would let him move...but I wasn't expecting this.)

???: To think I had to use this...You're not half bad for a street rabbit...Too bad I'll bleed out if I fight with these wounds, so we'll have to retreat for now.

Armored Soldier: Understood! Abandoning Mission!

The Psychic Aura Giant jumped towards the van with a single leap and waited the soldiers to follow suit. Then, they entered the vans and started fleeing the scene. Suddenly, a different voice started speaking in Sheila's communicator.


???: Quick, throw the ring I gave you.

Sheila: Okay! Hey Kenneth, catch this and throw at one of their vans.

Kenneth: Alright!

She pulled out some sort of metallic ring the size of her hand and tossed it at Kenneth, who then threw it towards one of the vans as they were leaving, sticking to the vehicle like a magnet.

**Music stops**


Rosa: Whew...they're finally gone. They really did bring a strong arsenal this time around. I guess the reason why they hired a weak gang for the initial attacks was so that their psychic user saw how I moved and planned around that.

Kenneth: But then...some unexpected help arrived and turned the tables on them.

Rosa: Yeah! Thank you very much. I'm Rosa Mikazuki.

Kenneth: My name is Kenneth Bryan. Pleased to meet you.

Sheila: I'm Sheila Runn. You know, that girl that plays the guitar everyday at Summer Park.

Rosa: Oh, I think I've seen you before during a patrol.

Sheila: Really? Did you enjoy the show?

Rosa: It wasn't that special, but I guess it's good enough for other people.

Sheila: You're right.

Rosa: (Whoa, I was about ready to apologize for being so blunt, but she didn't seem to mind my opinion...)

Kenneth: (That's right, I didn't listen to her music yet.)

Sheila: Well, we wouldn't be able to do this without our third mysterious helper. (I wonder if Lady Crimson sent him here.)

** We Are Finally Cowboys -Golden Brown Remix- still playing**


Kail: Huh?

Due to Azrel's sudden appearance, Kail's view was directed towards the roof, making sure that the light grenade wouldn't blind him when it exploded.


Armored Soldier: A flashbang huh? You should've paid attention to what we are wearing right now. We are equipped with advanced weaponry that can surpass the current military grade technology.

Kail: Also...we just met...how the hell am I'm supposed know what kind of grenades you're going to use? That could've blinded me too man. We needed to plan this beforehand...But anyway, another helper won't hurt I guess...

Armored Soldier: Resistance is futile...Give up right now before you succumb to your own fatigue.
.
Kail: Sorry...But I don't try to act tough...I AM tough, and I'll make sure of know that!

Kail then, turned his attention to the Armored Soldier that was paralyzed. That gave Kail an idea.


Kail: I see...so you guys do have a weakness. These so called Defense-Types came here because they saw how I fought earlier...Which means you knew I wouldn't be able to hurt you guys even with my strenght...

Then, he hit the paralyzed soldier with great strenght, sending him flying towards the electricity cables. While the Armor did possess a good degree of electric resistance, his life was still at risk. He turned off the armor in order to free himself from the current, falling on the ground as result.

Soldier: Urgh...

Kail: Alright, I'll be taking this.

Kail snatched the Compact Glaive Device from the soldier's hands without much effort.


Armored Soldier: Enemy had figured a way to bypass our armor...It's too dangerous to stay any longer. Requesting orders to retreat.

Veria's Battle

**The Man in the Dark still plays again**


Veria: Hahahaha! It's futile, nothing that you will reach me!

Victor: You seem very confident in your powers.

Veria: Not wanting to brag but...

Victor: Let's how you react when the unexpected happens. Squall Shot!

Victor fired one bullet to the air, then, it suddenly descended as a rain of bullets that Veria had to raise a shield to block. Then, he continued firing at her.


Veria: Urgh...

Victor: I see...so regardless of the damage, you can't keep that shield up for long.

Veria: (Uh oh...)

Victor: It's over!

Once the rain of bullets was over, Veria disabled the shield and focused on just dodging the attacks. Victor then, fired small hurricanes in order to reduce the space in which she could move.


Veria: Even if you've figured out a way to defeat my shield...it's still useless!

Victor: Requiem!

Victor jumped in the air and fired bullets that caused small shockwaves when they hit the ground, Veria didn't expect such effect on his bullets and ended up being hit.


Veria: hehehehe...this ain't good...

Victor: Finally got you.

He took this opportunity to use another Ritual of Destruction, this time, damaging Veria enough to incapacitate her for the time being. She mentally apologized to her superiors as her conciousness faded.

When the soldiers noticed, Veria had already been defeated by Victor.


Victor: ...

Armored Soldier: Commander down! Retreat! Retreat!!!

**Underworld still playing**


Haken: Alright, I've thought of something...I'll probably get punched for my troubles, but it will be essential for you to get close to him. Try hitting him with the fastest attack you've got.

Fear: (Right now, it's my sword...If I use something telegraphed, he'll notice.)

Haken: Brace yourselves, here we go.

Haken then, throws the ace of spade at Renani, who catches it in his hand.


Renani: Now then, what kind of gimmick this piece of paper has?

The card in question explodes in his hand.


Renani: Peh...You guys have to try better than that.

Haken: That's what we're about to do.

The blade of his nightfowl unfolds and Haken starts attacking Renani with it. The demon dodges attack after attack and blocks the last swing, holding the blade.


Haken: Urgh...

Renani: I guess this is it for you.

He punches Haken and sends him flying. He fires one last beam from his Long Tomb gun before he hits the ground and Renani just tanks the hit.


Renani: Now then...where's the other one.

Renani notices that Fear had dropped her shields on the ground. He looks around but she's nowhere to be seen.


Renani: Oh c'mon, she gotta be around here somewhere. I'm aware of your guys tricks by now.

Fear: (Then look up imbecile...)

All of a sudden, Renani feels a sharp pain in his back. It was Fear, now holding a black katana. She keeps slashing at him until he was launched away by the last swing of the blade.


Fear: That's one rough skin...

Renani: Urgh...Argh...

Bell: Did we do it?

Renani: You...stupid...deplorable...worms...

Haken: He can still keep going even after that?

Music: Absolute Fear


Renani: You worms are lucky...that I had a fierce fight...or else, I wouldn't be this weak...but don't think...DON'T THINK YOU'VE WON YET SCUM!!! HAAAAAAAA!!!!

Renani's sudden surge of energy creates a powerful gust of wind. Without the weight from the shields, Fear was blown away.


Fear: Crap!

Bell: So he was holding back all along?

Renani: GOLDEN ERASURE!!!

Then, he creates a massive sphere of mana energy colored in a golden light. Meanwhile, Fear managed to find a traffic sign to hold herself.


Fear: Ah, I've spotted the gold mates.

Haken: Too bad it will turn us into gold...Truly a Midas touch.

Bell: ...I have to...fire as much as possible until he's down.

Fear: (I have to reach my shields...but...)

She felt her grip loosening. Fear's poor stamina had reached its limit. Their only hope now was Sister Bell, who kept firing shot after shot at Renani's vitals, but he still didn't fall.


Renani: DIEEEEEEE!!!!

Then, he throws the sphere at them. The strong gust of wind was gone, but now, the energy was sucking them in instead.


Bell: Gyaa!!! No...

Haken: This is gonna hurt.

Fear: Another trip to the hospital I guess...

Renani: IT'S THE END! FINALLY! AHAHAHAHAHA! AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! THIS IS HOW DEATH LOOKS LIKE TO SCUM LIKE YOU!!!

Hyde: Raging...

Renani: Huh?

Hyde: ROAR!!!

Music: Raise the anchor

Hyde slashed his sword in a foward arc, unleashing a massive wave of energy that collided with the Golden Erasure sphere. Renani stared in confusion at what was happening. Then, Raging Roar won the dispute and headed toward Renani, who had to dodge the attack.


Hyde: HUFF...HUFF...HUFF...

Bell: Is that...Mr.Hyde?

Haken: So the kid had some tricks up his sleeve huh?

Fear: That tough guy attitude wasn't just all talk...Alright, I'll give him that.

Hyde: A "thank you" would be really appreciated right now guys.

Bell: Sorry...And thanks for saving us.

Renani: Did the universe suddenly decided to hate me or something? Why won't you worms die?

Fear: Nanoma-

Bell: Not it's not that. Be quiet Sister Fear.

Fear: Don't ruin my fun.

Asagi: Yep...My hunch was right...You're a demon, aren't you? What are you doing here?

Renani: You're asking me? All I know is that my army is probably gone, and I'm going to use these worms as replacement.

Asagi: Yeah...I'm going to have to stop you here.

Renani: I JUST WANT TO SEE YOU TRY!!!

Asagi: Alright everyone, stay back, I'll handle him.

Hyde: I'll help...

Asagi: You just used all of your strenght to stop a death ball...right now, you need to take the others to safety.

Hyde: ...Alright...Be careful...

Fear: (But first...)

Fear picked up her shields again, then headed towards the others for safety, now it was only Asagi vs Renani.


Asagi: By the way, Do you think that I look familiar?

Renani: Why would I ever think that? You look just like the others.

Asagi: For real though?

Renani: Don't make me repeat myself...

Asagi: Alright, just asking... (So he isn't here for me...That's a relief.)

Renani: Now that you stopped being weird...let's get this over with.

Asagi: Are you sure you can do it by yourself? It seems they did quite a number on you.

Renani: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!

Asagi: Forget I asked anything...

They both run at each other, ready to begin the last round.

Spring Zone - Kaori's Home

Music: 超獣帝国

Meanwhile, Hiagor and Nana were evenly matched. She always managed to avoid Hiagor's powerful strikes, but in exchange, any time she found a possible opening in his offense, he would block the incoming strike and attempt to counter her attacks.


Nana: Tch...

Hiagor: Hyaaa!!!

She backstepped in order to avoid his counterattack. He used his speed to get behind Nana, but she attacked with a backhand punch, forcing him to duck and dodge the incoming kick. Then, he started to dodge a barrage of energy projectiles, closing in on her and punching the ground near her, causing pieces of debris to fly towards her. She started to swat those away and dodge incoming punches from Hiagor.


Hiagor: Almost...

Nana: Take this!

Nana attacked with a fast flurry of punches, which Hiagor had to block, punshing him way with the last strike of the combo.


Nana: (Now I know how troublesome these Chi Masters can get...He can react to my movements just as fast as me...)

Hiagor: You're a slippery one...But I'm starting to get a grasp on your reaction time.

Nana: (I noticed that he was trying to get a hold of me...If that happens, then it's good-bye mission...I have to find a way to get to his blind spot faster than he can discover how fast I react.)

Hiagor: Here I come!

Hiagor dashed foward at high speeds. He started cirling around Nana in order to find an opening, however, she once again read his movements and fired an energy shot that forced him to dodge, however, what she didn't expect is that it wouldn't slow him down.


Nana: (No way, did he already...)

Hiagor: Alright!

Nana: It's no use as long as I can see you.

Predicting that he would attack from a blind stop, she turned around the moment she felt his approach, but then, he went back into circling her and repeat the same routine. Someone watching this from outside would notice many after-images getting near Nana and dissapearing soon after.


Nana: Will you attack already?

Hiagor: Well...they do say that the first one to attack has the advantage...Alright then.

Nana: (Here he comes.)

Nana turns around, but notices Hiagor closer than she anticipated. The next barrage of punches that he threw at her felt like many close-calls to Nana.


Nana: (He's almost reaching me...But, this might be my chance...I just have to adjust my timing for a moment to get behind him.)

Nana ducks under one punch and moves behind him in an instant.


Nana: (He's mine!!!)

However, Hiagor turns around and manages to get a hold of her fist. She applies more energy into the strike, but Hiagor didn't release his grip.


Nana: Impossible.

Hiagor: Finally...I've got you. You were a formidable opponent, but this ends here...

Hiagor delives a barrage of slow, but powerful punches, focusing on incapacitating Nana. He launched her to the air and fired a beam of chi energy, then finished the combo with a flying kick.


Hiagor: Shinha Rougeki Reppa!

Nana: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

She fell on the ground, Hiagor wiped out the sweat on his forehead, glad that he managed to best his enemy.


Hiagor: Alright Miss Nana...This is the end for you.

Nana: NOT...A CHANCE!!!

Hiagor: !!!

Nana got up from the ground despite her injuries. Hiagor was perplexed by the wings that appeared on her back.


Nana: This is...not over yet.

Hiagor: Impressive...I would say that not many people could get up after that attack...but you're honestly the first person I ever used this attack on...

Nana: I'm surprised with myself as well. (Though, I don't think my body can take another one...)

Hiagor: Now then...Time to finish what I've started.

Music: Baroque and Beats

Hiagor went for the attack again, but all of a sudden, a new Armored Knight appeared and blocked Hiagor's strike.


Armored Soldier: Urgh...

Hiagor: C'mon...we were getting to the good part.

Armored Soldier: Agent Nana, fall back at once. I'll hold him here.

Nana: (An Elite Flying Type? So those are completed as well...Good to know.) Understood...We'll finish this another day Hiagor Marlek. Just like how you can learn how I move, I can learn how you move as well. The next battle won't be like this one.

She runs away, Hiagor attempts to go after her but, the Armored Soldier stands in his way.


Armored Soldier: I won't let you pass.

Hiagor: (And this guy is fast too...)

Armored Soldier: I know I can't win...but holding you here is my objective now.

Hiagor: So it seems...

Meanwhile, Jerry was using the Armored Soldiers as stepping stones in order to reach the one that was holding Kaori's Mother. However, the soldier flew higher in order to avoid him.


Jerry: (Psychic Aura, I'm counting on you.) HA!!!

He launched his psychic aura towards the soldier that dodged him, grabbing him by the leg. The other soldiers went to attack Jerry, but he controlled the aura to pull him towards the soldier that was holding Kaori's mother, avoiding the attacks.


Armored Soldier: He's a Psychic User?

Jerry: (Access - Warp Weapon System: Mech Spear!)

Suddenly, he summoned a spear and attacked the armored soldier's head, making him lose his grip on Kaori's Mother. Jerry released the aura on the soldiers feet and used it to grab her mid-air.


Jerry: (Now time to brace myself for the fall...but first...Access - Warp Weapon System: Twin Autos!)

He summoned two machine guns and shot at the soldiers who went for the attack. They recoiled a bit, slowing their advance. Then, Jerry landed on the floor, making sure that his aura would slow the fall of Kaori's Mother.


Armored Soldier: Changing target priority to newly discovered Psychic User.

Jerry: Knew that would happen sooner or later...not lamenting though, I would be more than glad to wipe you guys out.

He picked up Kaori's mother and rushed back towards the resisdence, dodging their attacks despite the extra weight he was carrying. With a leap, he managed to enter the house again, then, he set Kaori's mother in the floor and left the house and summoned another spear.


Jerry: Time to properly fight you guys. Come at me!

Rosa: More help! Excellent. (I wonder if the others are having the same luck.)

Sheila: I was worried for a moment there.

???: (You fool...Even if that guy didn't show up, you shouldn't have taken her hostage, we need her alive dammit...What if they actually decided to attack and capture you?)

Sheila: Now then, time to turn the odds even more in our favor.

???: We'll see about that.

Sheila: Okay then. But just so you know...You'll lose no matter what you try. (I need to hold out until I can access those powers again.)

They started trading blows. Sheila was mostly on the defensive, taking some hits while watching how the man moved.


???: Not so smug now that I can hit you.

Sheila: Urgh... (This is nothing compared to what Lady Crimson made me go through.)

Meanwhile, Kenneth was still fighting the armored soldiers.


Kenneth: (This is taking too long...I feel like these soldiers were handpicked for the mere fact that they don't fall so easily.)

Armored Soldier: FIRE!

Kenneth dodged another barrage of shots and with his strenght, he sent one of the soldiers flying.


Kenneth: (I don't want to use my full strenght against these numbers...or else Sheila is going to have some extra work to do.)

Rosa: INCOMING HELP!

Kenneth: (So she was charging something big.)

Kenneth and two soldiers managed to move away from her line of fire. The other two weren't so lucky and got hit by Rosa's energy storm.

Armored Soldiers: AAAAAARGH!!!

Rosa: I'll take care of those two.

Kenneth: Thanks...That's some weight of my back.

Rosa: I should be thanking you for your help.

Kenneth: You should be thanking someone else. That person is responsable for this revolution. I'm just one of its supports. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to reveal that person's name.

Rosa: I see, then send my grattitude to that person.

Kenneth: I'll promise to deliver the message.

Then, they continued their fight against the soldiers. Thanks to Rosa's storm, the armor of the soldiers that were hit by it was heavily damaged.

Music: The man in the dark

Kail was doing his best to defeat the Defense-Type Armored Soldiers. No matter how much strenght he put into his strikes, they still got back up.


Kail: Argh...The hell are these things made of?

Armored Soldier: Target is showing signs of fatigue...Continue the assault.

Kail: I'll show you fatigue.

Meanwhile, Veria flew around the battlefied, firing what it looked like blast of darkness made of psychic energy. Victor kept dodging her attacks and firing back with his pistols, but she shielded herself using her psychic aura.


Victor: ...

Veria: I was blessed into being a Septima-Type Psychiccer! If you don't know what means, it means that I'm strong!

Victor: Really now?

Veria: That's right! You'll be amazed at what I can do for sure! Starting with these!!!

Suddenly, two walls that looked like mirrors were summoned near Victor. He jumped over to avoid being crushed, then shot back at Veria, who shielded once more.


Veria: It's impossible! You can't overcome my barrier with just that. I guess this was probably why they assigned Defense-Types to me.

Victor: (But I wonder...how long can she keep that barrier up. It seems that she can't attack while it's up either.)

Veria: Now then, what are you going to do, Ghost of the Kresnik Family?

Victor: Something that is going to surprise you for sure.

Veria: Oh~! That I want to see.

Victor kept firing at Veria, who decided to dodge instead of shielding, firing back dark projectiles at him. The street soon turned into a cross-fire of bullets and energy shots.

Renani: VANIIIIIIIISH!!!

He started throwing energy spheres at Haken and Fear. Fear kept repelling them away while Haken dodged and fired back at Renani, who in turn, destroyed the bullets with more spheres.


Fear: Closing in!

Fear started running again, but this time went for a sliding kick. He jumped over it and anticipated the following the sniper shot by moving his head to the side. As he landed, he fired another sphere to shield himself to Haken's bullets, then turned towards Fear to block the incoming strikes.


Renani: Kurgh...

Fear: See how combat gets more effective when you're not stroking your ego?

Renani: Don't get so confident just because you got me to actually try here.

Fear: That's the spirit. Keep it up and you'll go far.

Renani: HAAA!!!

She blocked the incoming punch and was pushed away a bit. Then he focused on Haken.


Renani: Guess I know who'll die first.

Haken: I welcome you to try.

Haken started firing with his Nightfowl and Long Tomb guns at the same time. Renani avoided them and closed in, starting to assault Haken with a barrage of fists, forcing Haken into the defensive.


Haken: Urgh...

Renani: HAHAHA! I wonder how long that black gun of yours can withstand my attacks.

Haken: I wonder about that myself. Are you willing to bet?

Renani: Yes, but just because my odds are 100% in my favor!

Haken dodged to following strike and thrusted Nightfowl into Renani's chest.


Renani: (Huh? That was actually pretty weak...Guess unlike that broad over there, he's just as weak as any other human...)

Haken: Stake!

Renani: What?

Suddenly, Haken activated Nightfowl's built-in pile bunker, launching Renani into the air, he followed up with six more strikes, juggling his opponent and launching him away with the last strike.


Renani: ARGH!!!

Fear: Rider Kick...

Without putting much enthusiasm in her voice, Fear dealt a powerful kick that launched Renani at another building.


Fear: That still won't put him down...He'll most likely get angrier and angrier.

Haken: What a troublesome tyrant...

Renani: Grrr...HAAAAAAAAA!!!

He fired another barrage of Spheres. Haken took shelter behind Fear.


Fear: For all of his boasting, I still didn't see anything about him that is gold.

Haken: Maybe he was refering to his hair or his wealth?

Fear: Could be...

Haken: Now then...how to catch him by surprise one last time.

Fear: Think fast...This is starting to tire me out.

Haken: Then we have to decide it on the next round.

Haken pulls out an ace of space card, then starts to study his pattern of projectiles, waiting for the perfect opportunity to throw it at Renani.

Spring Zone - Front of Kaori's House

Music: Forest of the black moon

As both girls arrived there, they saw Hiagor punching away another gangster. It seemed to be the last one.


Hiagor: Hm? Where's Jerald?

Kaori: ...

Andorina: They have captured Kaori's mom, so he's fighting them to take her back....Some guys wearing creepy armors with wings.

Hiagor: Yep...Knew something like this would happen...But wasn't expecting them to get Kaori's mother like this...

Hiagor pulls up a notepad. He tries to think which is the safest and closest place for them, then writes down the adress and gives them the paper.


Hiagor: You'll be going to this place ASAP

Kaori: Yurei Seimei? That's Ted home right?

Hiagor: Yes, now get going...oh and policemen, head to where Jerald is, I think he might need backup.
Police Officer: What about you sir?

Hiagor: I need to see these two off. Securing a safe route is priority now. (And to see if my our hidden observer is going to make a move.)
Police Officer: Alright.
Police Officer 2: We'll do our best.

Hiagor: Now then, you two should leave now.

Andorina: Yes.

Kaori: Huh? Watch out!

Music: Krieg

Hearing Kaori's warning, Hiagor intercepts someone that was about to attack them from above.


???: Tch! She noticed me...

Hiagor: Took you a while to show up.

???: I was waiting for the perfect moment to attack. You were lucky that the girl we are after saw me.

Hiagor: I dunno...maybe she has what it takes to spot sneak attacks like this.

???: Keep dreaming.

They repel each other away. The girls took this as an opportunity to leave.


???: Are you sure you should be leaving them alone?

Hiagor: I'm sure they'll be fine...besides, you don't have any more powerful soldiers around right? I'm sure they can scare a bunch of thugs with just a gun.

???: You're right, we have no more Compact Glaiver Soldiers...but I'll tell you this, one of us is still out there, waiting for one of the three to leave the comfort of their houses...Which means that you've made a mistake Mr. Hiagor Marlek. Did you really think we wouldn't have thought of that possibility?

Hiagor: And what if I told you that Kaori found out about her powers?

???: What? You're bluffing!

Hiagor: (I'm half-bluffing. I'm still assuming her powers will be something like that since she was summoned by Azura.) Why do you think she has a gun with her right now?

???: Heh...Even still, we know she didn't leave home after the kidnapping attempt. There's no way she could've praticed them yet. If that's really the case, then she has only her heightened senses to help her, which will not be enough against our fourth unit.

Hiagor: Again, why do you think she's carrying a gun right now? Maybe it's not only her five senses she became more aware about, but her sixth one as well. You should know since girls can use their 6th sense way better than someone like me.

Hiagor: I'll trust Jerald's judgement, that's all there is to it. Now then, I believe I have to take you down now.

???: Fair enough...Let's see if you can even hit me with your martial prowess Mr. Detective.

Hiagor: Can I at least get a name from you?

Nana: Right now, just call me Nana...Remember it for me in the afterlife.

Hiagor: Sure thing...But today isn't my time yet.

Hiagor is the first one to attack, quickly moving behind Nana and attacking her with a flurry of kicks. She jumped away from the barrage and fired an blast of light. He avoided it and ran at her once more. Then, she started attacking back with her own barrage of fists, in which Hiagor had to avoid and take some distance afterwards when one punch was about to hit him.


Nana: Nice reflexes...so a Chi Master can still be really fast.

Hiagor: That's my line. (That reaction time of hers is going to be a problem...If I'm too reckless, I'll just end up wasting time.)

Spring Zone - Sayaka's House

Music: Crash III

Meanwhile, a crossfire between Rosa's energy shots and the enemies energy bullets ensued. The mysterious man kept approaching the house.


Rosa: Kurgh...Guards, it's your turn.
Police Officer: Open fire!!!

The guards started to fire at the man, but to everyone's surprise, he dodged all of the bullets.


Rosa: No way!

???: I'll let you on in a little secret...I'm a Psychic User myself. Nothing that you do will be able to reach me as long as I can read your movements.

Rosa: Grr...Focus on the glaive soldiers, I'll get him.
Police Officer: Understood.

???: It's a waste of time...You won't win.

Rosa: If I backed down now, I wouldn't be worthy of being a member of the guild.

???: Heh...So you all are really a bunch of suicidal fools.

He keeps his fist half-closes and moves it back a bit, as if motioning for a punch. Rosa knew exactly what that motion meant and ran towards him. The man thrusted his hand fowards and she dodged to the left.


???: What? (How did she knew I was going to use my psychic aura?)

Rosa: (Thanks for telling me that you're a Psychic User.) Unleashing EXS! Mystical Buster!!!

Rosa moves her arms behind her and fires an energy blast that propels her foward while also being enveloped in a magic barrier. Her plan was to ram the man with a damaging tackle, he managed to dodge at the last second, but the attack managed to hit his arm, dislocating it from his shoulder


???: ARGH!!!

Rosa: Almost...

???: Fire the blaster shots!

Rosa: !!!

She focused her attention on the armored soldiers again. They had put their guns away and pointed their right arms at Rosa. The armor on their arms changed into what looked like a cannons, which started to fire energy projectiles, Rosa started firing back at them, but the bullets had roughly an equal power output, making them cancel each other.


Rosa: (There's too many bullets, I won't be able to shot them all down.)

She dodged back to cover, some of the shots managed to hit the front of the house.

Police Officer: Dammit, it it wasn't for that armor, or bullets would have some effect...

Rosa: (If I take my time to shot a powerful beam, that would give time for this guy to enter the house.)

???: I must praise you landing this strike. It's obvious this wasn't your first encounter with a Psychic User. Anyway. I'll invite myself in to this lovely home.

Rosa: Wait!!!

The moment she demonstrated that she was about to leave cover, the armored soldiers started firing at her again, blocking her path.


Rosa: Urgh...

???: I guess this is it for you. There won't be any failures this time...

Kenneth: I believe this is our time to shine.

Sheila: Indeed...

Soldier: What? Who's there? Reveal yourself or else we'll-

Music: Tenma no Kesshin

Before he could finish the sentence, Kenneth punched him in the jaw and sent him flying towards the other soldiers.


???: What the...

The man turned around and saw Kenneth, but Sheila was nowhere to be seen.


???: The hell? I swear I heard two people.

Sheila: Don't worry, you're not going crazy.

???: AAAH!!!

He turns around and does a backstep, seeing Sheila armed with a knife.


???: !!!

Sheila: (Such reaction time...Probably even better than Lady Crimson.)

???: Super speed huh? Well, it won't work twice on me, because I'll be hearing your steps miles away.

Sheila: I'm betting that your next line would've been something along the lines of "You should've killed me when you had the chance."

???: ...If you know this much, why didn't you do it? Are you some confident thrill seeker or something.

Sheila: I need you alive right now. I just have to make sure you won't escape after I defeat you. Your first instinct after receiving such attack from me would just make you run, afraid of taking more risks.

???: Well, you seem pretty knowledgeable about Psychic Users, but that alone won't be enough to stop me.

Sheila: You're right, in fact, I did plant a C4 at your back.

???: What?

Sheila: (Yep, he's the paranoid type if he fell for this bluff.)

He checked his back to try to see the C4, however, the distraction gave the opening Sheila needed to throw a knife at his right leg. He kneeled in pain after being hit, Sheila then, ran at the man and kicked him in the head, knocking him to the ground.


???: Argh... (Wait a second...why someone so fast kicks like a normal human?)

Then, he felt his chest being stepped on by Sheila.


Sheila: You're really easy to scare...

???: Well then...after this, I'll make you fear my very face!

Rosa: (It's that motion again.) Watch out, he's going to a psychic strike!

Sheila: !!!

Sheila waited for him to do the motion, then did a backstep to avoid the invisible wave.


???: (She didn't use her super speed this time...)

Sheila: Woo...My chin felt that. Thanks for the warning. Kenneth, how are you doing?

Kenneth: I'm managing to give them some trouble. They are not your average soldiers that's for sure if they can stand up after my attacks.

Sheila: Or maybe you're just not trying hard enough.

Kenneth: Maybe you're right.

The man gets up and removes the knife from his leg, using his aura to slow the bleeding.


???: If you're some sort of daredevil, then you choose the wrong place to be in.

Sheila: I'm more serious than you can ever imagine.

???: Whatever you say.

He fired another rocket, then immidietaly tossed the launcher away and pulled a automatic gun and discharged it at Sheila.


Sheila: (Right now...I wish for strenght!)

Her body brifely glowed in a purple-ish aura, then she avoided the missile and kept running to avoid being out of the man's line of fire.


???: (That's not the same speed she showed a while ago...)

She noticed a little pause on the barrage. Sheila stopped for a moment and ran in the opposite direction, guessing that he would shoot a bit ahead of her to correct his aim.


???: (She's no slouch in combat either...)

Sheila: Haaa!

Another knife was thrown, he ducked under it and tossed his gun back at her. She dodged it and avoided the following punch.


Sheila: (The strenght buff is almost over...Better make this count.)

She dealt a kick that sent him to the air, another one to bounce him off and another one to send him higher into the air. Then she did a high jump and kicked him back to the ground.


???: AAAAAAAAH!!!

Sheila: I call this one Bounce Rabbit.

Rosa: (She's doing great. Whoever she is, I'm glad that she's helping...Oh, that's right...) Go check on Sayaka. She might be terrified with all of these explosions.
Police Officer: Got it.

Sheila: Get up! I know you used your aura to reduce the damage.

???: Who are you?

Sheila: Just a wild rabbit passing by a stone jungle.

???: Don't give me that. No homeless girl would be this strong unless you're an In-Birth.

Sheila: You're totally right.

???: (But wait, the pressure of her attacks felt different from the Guild Member. While Psychic Users can't feel other types of energy, their sense of touch can register the kind of damage they receive...)

Sheila: What? You don't believe me?

???: That was just an example. I didn't actually mean to say that you're an In-Birth.

Sheila: Feels more like an accidental guess if you ask me.

???: No it's not.

Meanwhile Kenneth tricked two soldiers to blast each other.


Armored Soldier: ARGH!!!

Kenneth: That is certainly one unfortunate tragedy.

Sheila: Nice one!

???: (If that other one manage to finish off those soldiers, I'll be at disavantage...I have to kill this hooded dumbass in the next attack.)

Spring Zone - Lilina's Residence

Meanwhile Kail was having trouble passing through the tight defenses of the armored soldiers. They've managed to hold him in place, giving Veria time to head towards the residence.


Kail: Dammit!!! Get out of my way you pieces of scrap metal!

He started overpowering them, but Veria was very close to enter the house. The Police attacked her with batons, but she easily dodged them and knocked them to the ground.


Veria: Sorry there friends, but I'm invading this castle...

When she looked foward however, someone else was charging at her with a hammer.

Music: カナンの地


Veria: Wha-

Victor: Too slow.

The hammer strike was succesful, sending her away. Then, Victor pulled out a pair of twin blades and slashed her with them. After that, he picked a pair of pistols that he had throwed in the air before he attacked with hammer, and then, he fired a barrage of energy bullets towards Veria. Then, Kail pushed the armored soldiers away.


Kail: Whoa, what? (Who's this guy?)

Veria: Urgh...YOU!!!

She seemed to know who he is. The man who had left Unitia's military force and hasn't been seen since. His name was...




Veria: Ghost of the Kresnik Family...what are you doing here? I thought you left with your tail between your legs.

Victor: I just moved to a place where I can fight for what I believe in...that's all.

Veria: ...hmmm

Victor: You over there, take care of these armored soldiers. Even if they can withstand your attacks, they can still faint if you hit them hard enough in the head.

Kail: O-Okay...I knew that.

Veria: You know...guess I'll forget about Lilina for now. You're a much valuable target to capture right now.

Victor: I can already guess why...You're after my chromatus right?

Veria: That's right! The transformation ability that your family is known for is going to be great research material for the compact glaives...

Victor: Then come and get it...but I won't garantee that you will be sucesfull!

Veria: Well said...I won't let you escape!!!

Veria runs at Victor, meanwhile, Kail continues his fight against the four armored soldiers.

Central Unitia - Crossing


Bell: Is it just me...or the air is heavier than normal here?

Haken: Not just you...It's kinda hard to breath. What is this pressure?

Fear: There's someone over there that doesn't seem fazed by this.

???: Seriously...where in the netherworld am I?

Bell: (Those ears...)

They saw someone approaching them, cleary not in a happy mood.


???: I'm seeing some human worms over there...Hey! Do you chumps live here or something?

Bell: (He's a rude one...) Not really, right now this is just our current resting place. Those ears, I assume that you're not from this world too?

???: Hmmm...That means we're on the same boat.

Haken: Talk about understanding the situation fast. In that case how about we join forces? We're searching for a way to get back to our worlds.

Music: 焦躁の行方


???: Not interested. I was on a fierce fight against my rivals...and since I suddenly was dragged to this world, it means my army must've been wiped out by now. I'll just ensalve this entire planet first, then find a way back to my home. It's easier that way.

Haken: Just our luck...running into a power hungry overlord in the middle of a crazy place such as this...

???: Don't worry, If you swear loyalty to me, I'll promise you a good life under my rule.

Fear: Really now?

???: That's right! Me, the Great Renani, Tyrant of the Supreme Golden Light, will be the new ruler of this world. You would do good in joining me if you want to be spared.

Fear: Interesting proposal...what do you guys think?

Haken: Here's my answer.

Haken suddenly pulls a gun that fires a powerful energy blast at Renani, who managed to swat it away.


Renani: My arm stings a bit...guess you won't bore me as much...

Suddenly, the air gets even heavier, he was liberating his energy in order to increase his strenght.


Renani: I guess you guys won't be needing the time to start praying for your pathetic lives! Your souls will be forever plagued by the memories of your tragic and gruesome death! As I, the Tyrant of the Supreme Golden Light, is going to make sure that all of your hopes will be nothing more than...

Music: Battle


Fear: That's it...I'm shutting him up...

Despite the heavy pressure, Fear easily closed in the distance between her and Renani, then, punched him with her shield and started dragging him until he hit a wall. Then, she continuosly dealt blow after blow until the wall behind him broke.


Renani: Argh...

Fear: If you want to keep hearing the sound of your voice, then how about giving me something that weights more than these two shields I'm holding? Maybe then I'll actually believe in your boring banter.

Renani: Why you...

Fear turns around and starts walking away. This made Renani angrier than before, prompting him to run at Fear in order to attack her, but he was stopped by a sniper bullet in the forehead, sending him back to the building. Fear turns around again.


Fear: (Well, I know better than being close to these guys when she is about to snipe something.)

Bell: ...

Haken: What we should we do now Miss Holy Shields? We can't exactly let this guy run amok in the city.

Fear: Beat the crap out of him, what else?

Haken: Had a feeling you would say that.

Suddenly, the building Renani was collapsed after an explosion of mana that he unleashed.


Renani: You worthless worms...That wasn't bad at all...you've earned the right to give me your names.

Fear: Me? Well, if you really want to know...




Haken: And this handsome and cool guy here is called...




Fear: And the sniper over there is our mascot. We call her Bell.

Bell: Hey, let me introduce myself!

Fear: The frontlines have priority...Your turn will have to wait.

Bell: Sigh...Fine...just get this done with.

Haken: Leave it to us Miss Jingle Bells.

Fear: With that said...Let's finish this quickly.

Renani: Too bad for you, I'll forget those names right away...because I don't make graves for the worms that I crush under my feet.

Spring Zone - Kaori's House

Music: 聖絶

Hiagor was defeating the group with ease. He could easily close in the distance between him and the ones that held guns and punch any opponent to send them flying away. He always made sure to not put too much strenght into it, as he wanted to at least capture one alive for questioning.


Hiagor: (I'm certain someone from the mysterious organization is watching...but from where?)
Man: We got paid to fight this guy? No way I'm staying dude...

One of the thugs started running away, but Hiagor got in front of him almost in an instant.

Man: Wah!!!

Hiagor: Who paid you?
Man: I...I don't know...the guy just said that we had to cause some ruckus with the police...

Hiagor: Are you...

Hiagor suddenly punched someone who was about to attack him from behind.


Hiagor: Are you really not hiding anything?
Man: Of course not...I swear!

Hiagor: ...
Man: Now will you let me go?

Hiagor: Let's see...

He picks the man up and throws him at the other thugs.


Hiagor: I'm afraid that you all will be placed under arrest. Attacking authorities is a crime you know?

Hiagor then, continued beating the thugs down, meanwhile, Jerry arrived at Kaori's room.


Jerry: Alright you two, let's get going!

Andorina: Eh? What is happening?

Kaori: Hm?

Kaori looks through the window and sees a body flying past her sights.


Jerry: That it's what is happening. I already alerted your mother, she's waiting at the back door.

Kaori: Why are we running?

Jerry: Because Hiagor had one nasty bad feeling...And I'm willing to follow his warning. This place isn't safe anymore.

Kaori: ...Alright, let's go Andorina.

Andorina: O-Okay.

Once they reached the back door, they noticed that it was wide open. They hear a scream coming from outside.


Jerry: No way...

Kaori: MOM!!!

Jerry: Don't go Kaori, I'll go rescue her...You worry about getting to a safe place.

Kaori: But...

Jerry: I'm leaving her to you Andorina...Oh, and take this just in case.

He summons a handgun and gives it to Kaori. He knows she would have a better chance at hitting the shots.


Jerry: Just aim at their feet, that's all I have to say...Now then...


Jerry leaves the house and notices four armored soldiers flying on the air, one of them carrying Kaori's mother.


Jerry: (So this is the bad feeling he was having...Compact Glaive Users...Regardless, I have to rescue Kaori's mom.)

He then started fighting the soldiers while Kaori and Andorina managed to escape from the battlefield.

Spring Zone - Sayaka's House

Meanwhile, Rosa was blasting her enemies away with her powers, making sure the explosions just pushed them around. She needed to show they had no chance of winning.


Rosa: Look, it's clear that you guys are not going to win...So how about you guys turn yourselves win and tell the police what is happening?

Some of them started considering their options while the others decided to attack again.


Rosa: Sigh...If that's what you want...

But then, she heard the sound of a missile heading towards her. She fired an energy shot at it and jumped behind the police car. An explosion ocurred, lifting a cloud of smoke and dust.


Rosa: So they are bringing the big guns?

???: Seriously...these chumps lost already? C'mon, that didn't even serve as a distraction.

Rosa: (I'm hearing a man's voice.)

???: Maybe I'll fire another shot...

Rosa: There he his.

Rosa leaves her cover and fires an energy blast towards the direction where she was hearing the voice. The man dodges the attack. Once the dust settles, Rosa saw two vans arriving at the place.


Four people left the vans, all wearing some kind of armor.


Rosa: Ah!

???: I bet you know what these are.

Rosa: Compact Glaives...

???: Exactly! These are finally ready for field testing...and the guild will be its first target. I would be honored if I was you!

Rosa: Sorry, but I'm not going to let you do what you want.

Spring Zone - Lilina's House

Meanwhile, Kail was also dealing with the waves of enemies at ease, but all of a sudden, someone managed to pin him to a wall, catching him completely by surprise.


???: Hi there cutie! That's some nice display of strenght.

Kail: W-Who are you?

Veria: Pretty sorry, can't give my name, but just call me Veria for now.

Kail: I see...Then nice to meet YOU!!!

He manages to overpower her and throw her away, but she landed on her feet.


Veria: Woo...So that's the power of a member of the guild huh? Kinda glad that I've decided to join this mission.

Kail: So you're with the mysterious group? About time the real deal showed up.

Veria: I believe those guys will be answering your question.

Then, two vans stopped near the place, with more compact glaive users coming out of them.


Soldier: ...

Veria: We can't afford failures this time, so time to see if these things are really worth the investiment.

Kail: Too bad for you, I'll turn your friends into crushed tin cans.

Veria: Can you really do it in time to save Miss Lilina?

Kail: I believe this guy will be answering your question!

He tihgly grips his axe, then goes on the offensive. Two of the soldiers stood in front of Veria and blocked his strike.


Kail: What?

Veria: Time's ticking cutie! Don't get surprised by something like this!

She kicks Kail away while the other two soldiers manages to pin him down on the ground with two punches aimed at his gut.


Kail: Kargh!!!

Veria: Now then...

Kail: Is that...ALL?

Kail quickly overpowers the glaive users and throws them at Veria, who ducks under them.


Kail: I'm just getting started.

Veria: Seems like it's going to be a tough one even with these Defense-Types...Not that I'm complaining though...

Victor: I should strike if they manage to pass through him.

Tiane: So that Ted's home huh?

Ted: You don't come here often right Tiane?

Tiane: I passed in front one time...Something about this place just gives me the creeps for some reason, which is why I never came back...

Ted: (I'd be surprised if she didn't...being a normal person and all.)

Tiane: Just get out already...I'm feeling some chill down my spine for some reason.

Ted: Okay then, bye everyone.

Rayla: See you tomorrow.

Ted leaves the car and watches it leaving the place until it was out of sight.


Tiane: Next is back home huh?

Rayla: That's right. (I was planning to go to the guild today...but this rain makes it a no go...I also have to take up on Majima's challenge...Guess tomorrow will be quite busy...Guess I'll also leave the talk about leaving the orphanage tomorrow as well. I feel like they still need to recover from the scare I gave them.)

Touko: Are you kidding? That would be great!

She loudly showed her enthusiasm, something she rarely did unless technology was involved, specially something she hasn't analyzed before.


Touko: A-Ahem...I would appreciate if you shared that data with me.

**UNKNOWN**


Amandra: (I was talking about something about the lines of artificial bodies, but since she found the originals, then it's fine...though I wonder what kind of lenghts she had to go for those. I just hope someone didn't track her to this place...Well, maybe she'll have more success with those Ba'als than my group trying to create a perfect dimensional time mage.)

Music: Eyes Which Gaze Upon the Truth

"That's right...the original objective of our organization was to be able to manipulate time. Even though there are people who can stop time scattered throught the multiverse, it isn't absolute. Any dimensional warrior could easilly overpower such thing...what we needed was something stronger, something that could freeze the entire multiverse without a chance for retaliation from our enemies."

"Much like now, we've hit a struck of good luck by finding a family of dimensional beings that could manipulate time to an extent...and we set on sights on capturing them and start experimenting on their existences in order to find a way to amplify their powers beyond measure, beyond any creator level dimensional being. We came close to such goal...but a certain Zana Matsuri decided to ruin everything by attempting to kidnap her younger sister from us."

"She failed of course, and we've managed to get our experiment back. After years of experimenting...we've come to a conclusion that it was impossible. If we amplified her powers, it would just cause a reality warping explosion that would wipe out a piece of the space surrounding her...We would all die. Using it as a nuke against the enemy was also out of question...so we settled for another objective that was more related with our origins."



"This is one of the many doors that sealed the Chaos Multiverse since time immemorial. The place where the Tyrants of Chaos resides. However, we only know about the existence of this particular gate, so we decided to focus solely on this one. This organization was founded by my late sister, who died when they were trying to also create some kind of ultimate being by the name of DarkLight Zero. Well, it's a good thing we learned from that mistake since it went berserk and wandered off destroying worlds. He was already dealt with by our enemies, but I don't feel like we owe anything them."

"When we were about to do the final test of our Ultimate Dimensional Time Mage, she almost exploded, but we've managed to successfully stop it from happening..."



"And this is the result. A failure of a project that could that can never be completed. Well, at least it isn't a complete loss, since we've managed to create Zeena out of this. Mass producing weaker Dimensional Time Mages is most certainly a plus."


Amandra: Well, I better head off to the office. His meeting must have ended.

She opened some kind of portal and entered through it, leaving only the dimensional time mage by herself.


???: She's gone...I have finally time to observe the outside world until she comes back to check upon the gate.

As she does so, the image of Sheila running towards her destination shows up on her mind, as if she was watching what transpired without being physically there.

???: This will be her first true challenge...I pray for your success...Miss Yusagi...

Central Unitia - Streets

Asagi and Hyde were done with the monsters that attacked them. Soon after, they started to head further into the abandoned place.


Asagi: Those were some pretty good moves back there.

Hyde: Same for you. Those guns looks so normal I thought they weren't going to do much against them.

Asagi: They're pretty hi-tech. That's why they are so powerful. (That's half true, I still have to use my power to increase the damage.)

Hyde: I see. You looked like some sort of action hero with all of those acrobatic jumps.

Asagi: That sword isn't normal either right? Either that or your super strenght did most of the job.

Hyde: It's a combination of both.

Asagi: Interesting...let's leave the talk about the weapons later, I'm sure you want to know the reason of why I am here.

Hyde: That's right, make sure to not skip any details.

Asagi: Well, it's quite simple really...I felt some kind of energy that was similar to mine, so I decided to investigate.

Hyde: Similar?

Asagi: Yeah...I felt like I shouldn't leave that unchecked, so I came here to find out.

Hyde: I wonder if it has any relation with those three.

Asagi: Excuse me? There are other people that comes here?

Hyde: Ah yes, there's a group of three people that comes here often, I've met them once. Maybe it belongs to them.

Asagi: No...if it was, I would know about them already...

Hyde: I see...are you still feeling said energy signature?

Asagi: It seems to be growing weaker for some reason...But if we hurry, we might still catch the one responsable.

Hyde: Then let's hurry up.

Asagi: (Should I really be involving him in this? It could be too much for him judging by how strong people from my world can get...When I think about it, why am I sensing such power to begin with? What are they planning?

Asagi: (Whatever it is, I'm not going to let them ruin the life I've managed to build in this world.)

It wasn't only that, suddenly, a couple of cars appeared as well, surrounding the entrance. Rosa dropped her umbrella and ordered the police guarding the place to be on alert.


Rosa: This is certainly not what I'd call a friendly gathering...

Hiagor: Yo Jerald! How is it going?

Jerry: Hello detective...I assume you came here for Kaori right?

Hiagor: That's right. Can I enter?

Jerry: Rejected! She went through some heavy stuff right now, so it would be better if you just came back at a later date. I can't get into details, now get out.

Hiagor: Worth a try...Johnson wasn't around, so I thought I had a chance today...

Jerry: You're lucky Mr. Johnson had to be elsewhere...or else he would chew you out again.

Hiagor: Tell me about it...

Jerry: Yes and...Hm?

Suddenly, he sees some kind of bottle flying towards them, Jerry quickly kicks it away and it shatters when it hit the ground, spilling the alcohol inside it, with the fire at the tip of the cloth causing it to burn.


Jerry: Who's there?

Hiagor turned around and saw a group of people approaching them with homemade bombs and some bikers as well.


Hiagor: The mysterious group? They look more primitive than usual...

Jerry: Maybe it's just some hired arms...It doesn't feel like this is their main force.

Hiagor: Or a distraction...You go back to the house.

Jerry: Eh? You plan to take on all of those by yourself?

Hiagor: It's exactly what it looks like. This is no longer a safe place for them. Take Kaori and her mother away from here.

Jerry: Will you be okay?

Hiagor: Why are you still here? Have the police help you out with cover fire. The earlier they are taken to a safe place, the better.

Jerry: (He's way more serious than usual...) Alright then, Don't die.

Jerry went inside, he was planning to leave by the backdoor, meanwhile, Hiagor walked towards the group while glowing in a red aura.


Hiagor: This will be the perfect opportunity to awaken old muscles...my fight against Rayla wasn't even a fight...so you guys will be the perfect targets for me. You'll see how terrifying a chi master can really be compared to ancestor mages.

The same was happening in Lilina's home, as another group had already gathered around her residence, openly demonstrating their intent towards their guardians.


Kail: Now there's something that will heat things up...Not even this rain is going to cool this off that's for sure.

From afar, a lone figure was observing the situation. He was the one that was sent there to help Rosa out.


Victor: They just look like some random gang of weaklings. Maybe I should be on guard for reinforcements.


Kail: LET'S GO!!!

Amandra: Oh my...Those are indeed beyond excellent news. They will be of great use in the upcoming days. I'll issue some bodies for those three souls right away. As for Brongaa, I'll order the Time Sisters to search for any signs of him. I won't let this chance slip away. Once again, thanks for your valuable help my friend.

Central Unitia - Streets

Music: A strange world


The sound of gunshots echoed throught the streets, overlaping with the sounds of screaming monsters running foward and falling to the ground defeated. A group of three people had just finished off a great number of monsters that had just attacked them.


Nun: Sister Fear, Mr. Browning, are you two okay?

Fear: Barely broke a sweat. These guys only got numbers as their advantage.

Browning: I could do this all day Miss Jingle Bells.

Bell: I told you not to call me that.

Fear: Why not? Sounds fitting for you.

Bell: It's not...Is this because I'm being too formal Mr. Haken?

Haken: It's just a friendly pet name. Besides, you could've gotten a worse nickname from someone else I know.

Bell: A-Anyway...We shouldn't stay in one spot for too long. We have to continue where we stopped yesterday.

Fear: Yes Yes...I'll stay on the rear if you two need me...

Bell: Specially you Sister Fear. Who was the one that said that you were grateful that our church took you in? If you really want to demonstrate your grattidude, you'll put more effort in these investigations.

Fear: You don't need to tell me that... (I just don't feel like showing my enthusiasm...)

Haken: We've been in this wild goose chase for weeks now. We're not sure what are we supposed to find here. Not wanting to sound like a defeatist, but maybe we should approach this from a different angle instead of risking ourselves in this place.

Bell: I know what you mean...but at the same I feel like we can find something in here...I just don't know what it is yet.

Haken: No need to feel bad if we end up with nothing. We'll keep doing this for a while longer until we decide it's too dangerous to explore this place.

Bell: If you say so...then let's get going.

Meanwhile, in another part of Central Unitia, a lone woman was running at a fast pace. Seemingly unfazed by the atmosphere of dread that filled the place.


???: To think I would be visiting this place...
???2: Wait...

???: Hm? Him again?
???2: Wait up!!!

She turned around and pointed a gun towards the one who was calling out to her.


???2: Whew...I finally got your attention. Were you avoiding me on purpose or something?

???: It's exactly what you think Mr. Stalker!

???2: Stalker? Where the hell did that even come from?

???: You tell me. I knew something was following me, but to think you would go so far to enter this place...

???2: That's exactly what I've been trying to warn you about...This place is dangerous.

???: Really now?

???2: I wouldn't joke about this even if I wanted to. You shouldn't be here.

???: Well...if you were willing to risk yourself for a stranger, maybe you're not that bad as I imagined you to be. Either that, or you really don't have regards of your own life if it means stalking someone.

???2: It seems that you somewhat get it... (But can you stop with the stalker thing? I don't have good memories of the last person that misunderstood me.)

???: FYI, I'm still going foward. There's something I need to do here. You shouldn't worry, I'm strong on my own.

???2: I wouldn't even enter this place if I didn't knew how to fight these monsters.

???: Then you should know what I mean Mr. Hero. Guess I took you for the cool deliquent type when I saw how you wear your uniform, but you're actually just that naive.

???2: That is why you thought I was some kind of creepy stalker?

???: In this city, anything is possible.

???2: Can't argue with that logic...Well, at least let me help you with what you're doing.

???: Are you sure? You might not be able to back down once you're in.

???2: That's even more of a reason to get involved.

???: You're one strange guy that's for sure, helping complete stranger when you don't even know what's ahead of your nose...but then again, that's a common trend with you hero types...Now then...

Music: dumme Marionette

The girl pulls the trigger and starts shooting, but her target wasn't the teen in front of her, but the monsters that were lurking right behind him.


???: All I've been hearing from you so far are just words. How about some heroic action from you?

???2: I thought you would never ask Miss Gunslinger Girl.

The boy summoned some kind of red katana, then fired a red disc shaped projectile at the girl, who jumped over it. Then, he commanded the projectile to explode, hitting the monsters that were running at her. Then, they both stood back to back.


???2: With that out of the way, how about telling me your name?

???: I'm just a nobody by the name of...




???2: What a coincidence. I'm also just a random insignificant schoolboy by the name of...




Asagi: Alright then Dr.Jekyll, let give these creepers their summer greetings.

Hyde: They won't even last a second. Haaaaaaa!!!

From afar, Miolina was watching the scene.


Miolina: First batch of monsters and none of them is a Void...bummer...

Pairah: Why are you searching for some monster?

Miolina: It isn't just just any creature, it will be very important in our task. Well, time to search elsewhere, follow me buddy.

Pairah: I'm not your buddy...

Miolina: You will be soon enough. Trust me.

Touko: Oh! It's you. Good afternoon?

Touko: Well...Wait here, I'll go get it for you.

She puts the Fatum Unit over the table, then, she walked towards a bunch of lockers and pulled one drawer in particular. Inside of it, it was a big metallic suitcase that she picked up. She approached 5T and put the suitcase on the floor and opened it, picking up the blade that was inside.


Touko: Here it is, hope you like the results. I worked hard on this one and was fascinated by it's tech.

Ted: Pretty much.

Jerry: Then it's goodbye for now.

Rayla: Make sure to keep Kaori safe you hear me?

Jerry: Loud and clear captain. You have my word that we'll keep her safe and sound.

Tiane: Rayla as a captain huh? Somehow I can see that happening.

Rayla: You think so? Maybe I get it from my father...Nah, I'm probably not as outgoing as he was.

Ted: Makes me wonder how things worked all those years ago. How the interation with our ancestors turned out.

Tiane: If you guys don't mind, I'll go ahead.

Ted: Oh right, the limo.

Tiane again, entered before Rayla and Ted in order to secure a seat by the window.

Kenneth: I wonder if I should conduct an orchestra. I find it interesting that they can work so well in sync. Maybe they exist in my world too. When I'm done with my mission there, maybe I'll spend the rest of my days composing songs. Or I could introduce them to the songs that I had the pleasure to listen here. I feel like it's going to be a great time...not only for me, but for the people that can marvel at the magnificence or these pieces. Don't you agree Sheila?

Sheila: I see. (Yep, the pace is entirely on him, just like she said.)

Kenneth: I'm not boring you am I?

Sheila: It's not that...I just don't have anything to add.

Kenneth: Then are you being overwhelmed by my talk? Maybe I should stop.

Sheila: N-No...not at all. I can't stop you from talking about things you like. I do indeed like music, It's just that I have no opnions on orchestral songs.

Kenneth: I see. Do you still mind If I keep talking about it?

Sheila: Not at all...Keep going. Maybe I'll get interes-

But then, she was receiving a call again.


Sheila: We'll do it later, we have job to do.

Kenneth: Alright.

Sheila: Awaiting for the orders boss.

Lady Crimson: Alright, I'll have you two following the group that headed towards Sayaka Maizono's house.

Sheila: What about the other two houses?

Lady Crimson: I already sent Victor to Lilina's home...About Kaori, It's the one with the best defense possible.

Sheila: Victor?

Kenneth: The one that with the mask.

Sheila: Oh, him...Alright then, we're on our way.

Lady Crimson: Remember to keep yourself under control if they indeed turn out to be members of the mysteriouss organization.

Sheila: ...Right...I'll keep that in mind.

The communications are cut, Sheila and Kenneth heads towards the Maizono Residence.

Andorina: I'll be staying here with Kaori for a while longer.

Meanwhile, Touko was silently tinkering with what looked like to be a small red-colored metallic object that had a triangular shape. It was in fact a weapon from one of the members of the guild.


Touko: (Fatum Units huh? You got quite the contraption here Miss Alty.)

Touko: (NESTS sure had quite the technology. I would like this more if it didn't remind me of those floating rings...But what can I do?)

Touko: (This is the last one that I need to optimize for her. Alty's powers are quite similar to Psychic Users, so if I take what I learned with the weapons I made for Jerald's Arsenal to this, I'll be able to make them more responsive to her commands.)

She continued messing with the Fatum unit, being really focused on the task at hand.

Amandra: Lacryma? That Lacryma huh?

Amandra: I see...it all makes sense now...I did detect something entering this world some days ago, but there was some interference and I couldn't see who were the ones that entered. Not only that, it seems that I'm still uncapable of identifying who they are. Whoever sent them here knew what they were doing.

???: Does this means that our time in this world is running short?

Amandra: It was bound to happen sooner or later...The level of interference in this world might be starting to call some unwanted attention. Well, we'll just have to get this done at winter.
???: Are you sure?

Amandra: Absolutely, as long as we stay quiet and rely on my dear "friend" Baron Crimson, we'll extend our time in this world. If we attempt to hastily create chaos, we'll be found out in an instant. It has to be a slow process. You heard that, right Zeena?

Kenneth: Hm? Look! It seems they are spliting up.

Sheila: Eh? What for?

Suddenly, Sheila was receiving a call from her communicator.


Sheila: Yes?

???: For now, stay put. I'll tell you which group to follow once I trace their possible destinations.

Sheila: U-Understood Lady Cri-I MEAN...Commander. Kenneth and I will be on standby.
Lady Crimson: Since it's outdoors, I won't be able to call Daniella for backup, so you'll be by yourselves.

Sheila: I see...Don't worry, we can handle this by ourselves.
Lady Crimson: And make sure to keep Kenneth close to you. Remember that he might close control of himself if he wastes too much power or the fight takes too long.

Sheila: Oh, That huh? Alright, I'll take good care of him.

Then, the transmission is cut.


Kenneth: Was she telling you to watch over me?

Sheila: Yeah...I kinda forgot about your condition too.

Kenneth: No need to apologize, we'll have a lot to catch up once we're done here.

Sheila: Okay...thanks for understanding. (Still, I feel bad for forgetting...I'll make sure it gets stuck in my brain this time around.

Kenneth: So...do you think they are actually from the mysterious organization and wants to attack the supposed psychic users again?

Sheila: They did split up into three groups...Whether that's a coincidence or not, we'll have to wait and see.

Kenneth: True...

Amilia: So...what brings you here?

Miolina: Not even going to say a hi Amy? That's cold. Isana is being a bad influence on you.

Amilia: Even if you're under her orders, I have no reasons to be friendly with the likes of you. All that matters is my mission.

Miolina: Geez...I wish Zeena was here...She knows how to break the ice.

Pairah: I'm thinking this Zeena is just as obnoxious as you are.

Miolina: C'mon, I'm as friendly and helpful as they come.

Pairah: Yeah...you still haven't helped me. I got thrown out of a window from the Shihana Clan's Office. You promised to give me power like I've never seen before...yet, I'm still a pathetic wreck in pain.

Miolina: Relax. We're almost there. I always make sure to never break my promises. Say Amy, did someone else went through here?

Amilia: The usual three.

Miolina: The cowboy and the two nuns I presume.

Amilia: Actually, there was two more who entered this place.

Miolina: Seems like this place is getting quite popular all of a sudden.

Amilia: One was a woman who wore a white coat over her black clothes. She also had short black hair. That woman looked like she had business with this place.

Miolina: I see, and the other one was?

Amilia: A high school student who wore his black unform in the wrong way. His hair was yellow on the front and black on the back. It didn't seem that they were together, but he was cleary going after her.

Miolina: Wait...you said blonde hair on the front and black on the back? Oh my...

Pairah: Someone you know?

Music: Traveller's Journal


Miolina: That's the freaking Insulator! Man, today is full of surprises isn't it?

Pairah: Who?

Miolina: For short, he is an In-Birth just like me. His fame kind of skyrocketed after he kicked Paradox's noblewoman behind. Man, I wish I was there to see it...I missed the show, but at least I got to see his face. The Unknown Actor isn't so unknown to me anymore at least.

Pairah: ...

Miolina: You'll be one too soon enough. That is the power that I'll be giving you...And right now, Central Unitia is the best place for that.

Pairah: Then what are we waiting for? I'm getting real tired of waiting.

Miolina: Alright, we're on our way!

Amilia: Master will only allow it this one more time.

Miolina: Eh? What gives?

Amilia: Circunstances have changed. We are not allowed to create more interferences in this world. Anything beyond this will be unecessary.

Miolina: Really now? Something happened that I should know?

Amilia: I'll tell you later...Your "friend" looks like she's going to have a stroke at any moment.

Miolina: Oh right...Seems like not even this rain can put out her fire. See you later.

Amilia: I won't be here by the time you come back...and if possible, I don't want to see your face again so soon...

Miolina: Yikes...what did I do to her?

Then, both girls headed towards Central Unitia.

Kaori: Well...Maybe, I could use this to help people in some way? I'm not sure how but...

Rayla: Good to know that those are your first thoughts about using your power.

Rayla: Let's go guys. Kaori needs some time to put her thoughts into place.

Sheila had first visited the sewers where she used as her home in order to keep her guitar in a place safe from the constant rain. Then, she removed her drenched coat and started twisting it in hopes of removing the excess of water. After putting it back on, she picked up a worn out umbrella and climbed back to the surface.


Sheila: Oh, almost forgot...

Sheila: Better make sure someone doesn't reconize me on the streets.

Then, after arriving at the park, she soon spotted someone also wearing a hood.


Sheila: There you are Kenneth. Where's your umbrella?

Kenneth: You should know I it's impossible for me to catch a cold.

Sheila: Oh yeah...I forgot about that detail.

Kenneth: Are you sure you should be forgetting things? Gathering information is your speciality after all.

Sheila: It wasn't until some months ago so give me a break...

Kenneth: Apologies...By the way, your smell is more rotten than I remember...

Sheila: (You didn't had to point that one detail out so bluntly...) Didn't had shampoo and soap with me...So give me a break on that one too.

Kenneth: Apologies again...

Sheila: Now then...where's the suspicious people I've been seeing as of late?

Kenneth: They headed towards Spring Zone a just now, A big group.

Sheila: So it got even bigger?

Kenneth: I'm not sure how big it ws before, but it looked like a small crowd.

Sheila: Well, we should definitively follow them and hope I'm wrong on suspecting them.

Kenneth: If you say so, then let's get going. I've managed memorize the smell of one of them.

"I see...so it seems that all the actors are ready to enter the stage of chaos. It took the local deity to set them on the right path ...but better late than never I suppose. This city can be finally plunged into the chaos it needs."

???: Master Amandra, are you "observing" the outside world again?

Amandra: Oh, I'm sorry, did I woke you up my dear?
???: Not really, I was awake for a while now...I just noticed that you're happier than usual.

Amandra: Did I really give that impression? Well...It's just...All this wait is finally over, and it's hard to contain myself, and I end up speaking louder than I normally do.
???: Hmmm...

Amandra: In order for the Gates of the Chaos Multiverse to be open...A great amount of conflict must be generated for it to consume...And thus, after its hunger was satiated, one last sacrifice has to be made...so that the doors will open and thus...the whole multiverse will return to how it was countless years ago.
???: ...

Amandra: You must be bored from the amount of times I've told you my plans. I must apologize.
???: Don't worry...I'm incapable of bearing any ill will towards you. I only live to server you, Master Amandra.

Amandra: As it should always be. Good to know that you're aware of your position...By the way, I've noticed that you've been more active as of late. You turned out to be weaker than the other Dimentional Time Mages that we've created...It's really odd...

Kaori: Alright, you can sit anywhere...

Tiane: Yaaa!

Kaori: Except my bed. It's off limits.

Tiane: Urgh...

Rayla: Why I had the feeling you would aim for the bed?

Tiane: Maybe because you don't expect much of my behavior...

Kaori: Now then, let's wait a bit for Andorina.

Ted: In the meantime...

Kaori: Hm? What book is that?

Ted: This book has information of many types of combat powers people can use.

Kaori: Oh! So you were going to use it to see if I'm a psychic or not?

Ted: Yep...I mean, we have no real reason to doubt it because of our meeting with Azura, but on the off chance that your powers might be something else, this book will gives us the right answer.

Kaori: Checking all possibilities huh? Say...if I really have psychic powers...will it be okay for me an my mom to stay here? You know...I might be targeted again...

Tiane: I'm pretty sure you would be moved to the world crossers guild, at least for protection. Unless of course, if you want to fight, you'll probably be able to choose where you want to be, but I don't see that happening so soon, so you won't be seeing the sun for a while.

Kaori: I see...Just asking because my everyday life is at risk. I can't be picky with my freedom if it means I'll still be safe from harm.

Rayla: I know what you mean...Wanting to preserve that kind of life...

Andorina: I'm back with cake and some refreshments.

Ted: Just in time, I just found the section that talks about Psychic Powers.

Andorina: Okay. I'll put the plate here in the middle. You guys pick which slice you want, but make sure to leave some for Ted since he'll be busy reading.

Everyone nods and starts to pick up their slices. Meanwhile, Ted starts to read the book.

Music: Unus Mundus


Ted: "In the many worlds of this multiverse, it has been observed that psychic powers can take on many different forms and concepts, some even overlaping with other types of energy manipulation. They range from simple manipulation of objects to reality warping. Thus, making it hard to define what exactly can be called psychic energy or something else, each world having a different meaning for said power."

Tiane: This is not a good start...

Kaori: Eh? I can get that strong?

Rayla: If you let him finish...

**music suddenly stops**


Tiane: That would take too long...Can't he just skim through it and head over to the part that says what kind of abilities are common between these powers...Or better yet, since it says that there's different types of psychic powers, maybe it has some kind of map in there that shows which world has them and find the info of our world from there.

Ted: You know...that's a very good idea.

Rayla: A good idea that was born out of her impatience.

Tiane: I get easily lost with long paragraphs, even though I'm smart right now.

Ted: Now then...If I remember correctly.

He bookmarks the section about Psychic Powers and heads back to the section of the book about EXS, hoping to find some kind of codename of their world.


Ted: Here it is...Serena|MuhenWo α-01, or SRN|MWα-01 for short.

Tiane: Isn't that the surname of the guildmaster?

Rayla: Yes...but It's just a coincidence. (A really strange one...)

Kaori: Still, it's interesting that worlds are named after people as well.

Ted: Agreed...Now, back to the issue at hand.

Ted returns to the part about psychic powers, then starts to skim through the pages until he finds anything about the code he just memorized.

**Unus Mundus Plays Again From The Beginning**


Ted: Continuing...*ahem* "In this particular world, psychic abilities are still something new, but traces of it have been showing up since the past century. An organization known as Sumeragi Group had been researching and documenting these occurences of psychic ability between humans. It is believed that this is in fact, humanity evolving over the years. They have earned the name of Psyccer Adepts, and in recent years, there has been many more and more humans confirmed as having psychic abilities. However, due to their lack of knownledge of said powers, more often their not, the awakening of their powers usually causes terrible accidents...

Rayla: (Reeta...)

Tiane: (And, I'm reminded of that Mana girl...)

Kaori: I'm guessing part of the reason all these kidnapings are happening is because...

Tiane: Hold your horses. They just want to use them to make weapons. I'm sure they're not here for damage control. This glaive is a proof of it. Besides, if they really cared about it, I'm sure they would've asked nicely.

Kaori: Well...what do you think Mister Jerry?

Suddenly, the door opens and Jerry enters the room.


Jerry: It's not that simple.

Ted: Whoa! (How did she knew he was there?)

Jerry: Sorry for eavesdroping, but I was sure this topic would be brought up, so I decided to stick around.

Tiane: Well then...tell us what you know.

Jerry: Let's just say that the Adepts like their freedom. According to "him", there has been many instances of violent Psychiccers resisting arrest, and this has caused a quite bit of stress to the population. It's quite small right now, but with the increasing number of Psychic Users, a boiling point is sure to be hit and these secret groups won't have other alternative than to rage war against the Adepts in order to..."control" them.

Rayla: And I'm just imagining this war will be indiscriminate to both good and bad Adepts.

Jerry: Exactly...And this is the possibly one of the worst timings ever...because, you know, the crisis the city is having.

Kaori: So even if the mysterious group is somehow defeated, in the near future, I'll no longer have my peace because of people who refuse to restrain their powers?

Jerry: ...That's right...Their mistrust of Sumeragi, plus the hate and despair of the population, plus the violent tactics that these secret groups might employ will be equal to a disaster worse than we could possibility imagine...

Kaori: ...I see...

Ted: Kaori...

Kaori: Continue reading Ted...I want to get this over with...

Ted: Right...where was I?

Jerry: Terrible accidents.

Ted: Okay...found it..**ahem** The next part says that the Psychic powers of this world comes in many varieties, having abilities that might rival Ancestor Mages in versatility. However, there are traits that are common between these variations. Adepts have enhanced senses, reflexes, photographic memory and manipulation of their psychic aura. Despite the variety in abilities, some of the more elaborate ones are rarer to spot. These are called Septima-Type Adepts. Their powers range from single elemental manipulation,to magnetism, creation of wormholes, flight and reanimating the dead...though, it's not true ressurection. The rarest ability of Septima-Type Adepts being electricity.

Rayla: ...

Tiane: Feeling a bit jealous because they have more variations?

Rayla: I don't know what you're talking about... (I can't even teleport a person to my location without using too much energy and then there's people that can create wormholes?)

Ted: And then...

Jerry: There's the Common-Type Psychiccers. While they can't warp reality like the Septima-Types, they aren't less dangerous thanks to their capacity to easily memorize anything, making any investiment on their physical trainning rewarding in the long run, as they would easily accumulate combat experience. They also can still stabilish psychic links with other Psychic Users and that can be exploited to activate systems that are far away from the user's location. Something like this.

Suddenly, some kind of wormhole appears near Jerry, he puts his hand inside and pulls a small knife.


Jerry: While common people have to rely on a remote to activate the warp weapon system, people like me can only activate it with just a thought. The system will capture my brainwaves and open up a hole for me to pick up a weapon of my choosing.

Rayla: So that's the power you've been hiding.

Jerry: I couldn't exactly say what it is in front of the police officers...Anyway, did you get all that Kaori?

Kaori: Yes. Every part of it.

Jerry: Good to know....Here's your reward.

All of a sudden, Jerry throws the knife he was holding at Kaori, it missed her and hit the bet instead.


Tiane: WAH!

Ted: What do you think you're doing?

Rayla: Explain yourself before I make you.

Jerry: C'mon guys, do you really think I would kill someone as I was tasked to protect? Kaori, can you tell us what happened in this split second?

Kaori: Right...When Jerry suddenly threw the knife, I could easily guess that it would miss me, so I didn't move. It is as if my sixth sense was telling me I was in no danger at all. (However, that put a hole in my bed...how am I going to explain this for mom when she finds out?)

Ted: You saw the trajectory in that small time frame? That's amazing!

Rayla: I see...I usually can catch bullets and thrown them back at people depending of the distance, but I have the feeling you would be able to guess where they are aiming before they can even shoot.

Jerry: Now, then, what is left to know is whether or not she's either a Septima-Type or Common-Type...Though, I'm not sure how to figure that out...I guess she needs to experiment with her powers first? "He" would be able to tell.

Kaori: Again with this "he" and "him"...Not a lot of people like playing the pronoum game.

Jerry: I know...but it's for security reasons...heck, I shouldn't even be discussing this with you guys under normal circusntances. We're all in a closed room, so there's no way someone else can hear us unless they at the door or the window.

There is a moment of silence, they look at each other, then they start to check the window and the door. There was no one else listening.


Jerry: Now then...I'll take my leave...

Kaori: Before that...I believe you should take this back...

She throws the knife back to Jerry, who easily catches it with his two fingers. He smiles at the group, then leaves the room.


Kaori: So...I'm a Psychic User after all...All those weird feelings...were really just my enhanced senses playing tricks on me...My mental health is just fine...just my powers that are the problem...

Andorina: Kaori...

Ted: ...

Rayla: From now on, you choose what you want to do with those powers. We aren't going to force you to join or cause...

Tiane: But just in case you do, just give us a call.

Andorina: I'm not sure she'll do that...Kaori can't even hurt a fly, let alone someone else...kinda like Ted...

Kaori: Ted is at least willing to fight when he has no choice...I'm not even sure if I would do that...

Andorina: Oh...

Kaori: Don't forget to eat your part of the cake Ted.

Ted: R-Right...Almost forgot...

He picks up a slice of the cake and starts eating it. The room went silent once more, although this time, it didn't look like someone was going to say something. These revelations were a lot for Kaori to take in.

Music: Nacht der langen Messer


Kaori: Yes...I feel like we should start this already. Let's go to my room. (Or else mom will get even more worried than she is now...)

Ted: In that case, lead the way.

Tiane: (I'm guessing by her face that she knows she's going to get involved sooner or later.)

Andorina: Am I allowed to hear this too? I mean...it seems important. We all went to serious for a moment.

Rayla: Well, you do need some confirmation on "that". Of course, you have to keep a secret if the answer to our "doubts" is yes. (Wheter Kaori is psychic user or not...but since she was chosen by Azura, there's little room for doubt...but might as well go through the motions to be really sure whether or not those will be her powers or if she's going to be like Tiane.)

Andorina: Alright. I'll go get Kaori Mom's cake and meet you all there.

Music: Investigation ~ Middlegame 2009


Hiagor: Still raining...Guess meteorology is having a field day with this rain.

Then, he saw a familiar face passing through. She was sharing an umbrella with someone.


Hiagor: You're...

Miolina: Oh, hi Mr. Detective. Going somewhere in the middle of this rain?

Hiagor: You can say that. Any rumors you've caught wind of?

Miolina: There's this one, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.

Hiagor: What is it if you do not mind telling me?

Miolina: Well...Aparently, there's a psychic user at that school in Winter District, but as I said, there's nothing concrete yet.

Hiagor: (Ah, so she already knows of it.)

Miolina: Still, I don't think a simple rumor isn't going to stop "The evil Janitors" They most likely have a pattern that they are following regarding the people they are kidnapping.

Hiagor: Really now?

Miolina: I'm sure they have their ways to know or at least suspect if one is or isn't a psyccer and then act upon that guess and capture said person.

Hiagor: When I think about it, they haven't returned anyone they have captured yet. They either guessed it right or are keeping the person for their experiments.

Miolina: Or they are most likely...dead.

Hiagor: What do you mean?

Miolina: Discussing about this made me remember of this one episode that happened an year ago. I'm sure you can guess what I'm talking about.

Hiagor: Hmmm...An kidnapping event that ended up with the hostage's death that got our attention...Ah! The Getsuki family case. Her parents were found dead at their home, while their daughter was found near a pile of bodies. Said bodies being most likely the same people that attacked her parents and tried to kidnapped her. Nobody knows how they died, but one thing for sure, they had business with the Getsukis.

Miolina: Whether she was special or not...we'll never know.

Pairah: Hey...can we go already?

Miolina: Patience my friend. I'm just doing some catch up with Mr. Detective.

Hiagor: Hmmm...I don't believe we've met Miss...

Pairah: I'm Miss "My name is none of your business!" ...Urgh...

Miolina: Forgive her. She fell down some stairs and I'm taking her to the hospital...Her mood isn't exactly one of the best ones at the moment.

Pairah: And there you have it...now shut up before I throw you down a flight.

Hiagor: (I feel like she started hating me the moment she saw me...) Then you made the wrong turn. The hospital is in that direction.

Miolina: OH! My bad!

Hiagor: Are you sure such a well informed person as yourself should be missing the location of the hospital?

Miolina: Something probably distracted me. My curiosity often distracts me of my goals sometimes. Isn't that right my friend?

Pairah: Don't ask me...

Hiagor: If she fell down some stairs, walking should be the last thing she should be doing. Couldn't you pay a bus for her?

Miolina: I barely use them...The sheet with their schedules is back at home...but you're right. If memory serves right, the next bus stop is a bit far.

Hiagor: Well...In that case, maybe I can carry her myself?

Pairah: No thanks...I'm...fine...

Hiagor: Really though?

Pairah: Yes...shut up...

Hiagor: But, in your current condition, it might get wor-

Pairah: Oh for the love of...

**music stops**


Pairah: I JUST WANT YOU OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!

Hiagor: (She definitively hates me now.)

Miolina: Woop!

Pairah: Wah!

Miolina easily picks Pairah up and starts carrying her away from Hiagor.


Miolina: I'll be more than enough to help her Mr. Detective. We'll talk more later.

Pairah: Hey! Put me down! I can wa-ARGH!!!

Miolina: See? If you keep getting too excited, your wounds will ruin your fun.

Pairah: Urgh...

Miolina: Bu-Bye Mr. Detective!!! Enjoy the rain while it lasts. Summer is going to drain all of our water.

Hiagor: Y-Yeah...Bye... (Just what are you doing with her Miolina? I doubt you're just helping her out of goodwil. I'm sure there's some story behind that new friend of hers.)

Introduction to the 2ND Team

Summer Area - Old Building

Music: A drunkard of wilderness

On the second floor of the structure that was occupied by the homeless people, there was a lone girl playing the guitar, looking at the rain through the window. She couldn't go at the Summer Park to play it in hopes of some change and so she decided to spend the day polishing her skills instead. The only thing in her stomach was the breakfast that a friend of hers brought to her at the morning. She knew what she was getting into, so she was prepared to spend the days without eating a thing. Such suffering paled in comparison to what the girl went through in the past year. She spend some time playing some notes until a girl's voice called her attention.


???: I thought you went back to your "home" thanks to the rain Sheila...but you were actually here...

She looks behind and sees a girl that looked around her age. She had with white hair and unnatural yellow eyes. The girl wore a black shirt from an expensive brand named "The Crown". She also wore a red skirt wit a bow. She also had a cross that she used as a pendant, but it wasn't to show that she was a woman of faith. She carried a thin literature book in one hand and a lunch box in the other.


Sheila: Sorry for that Danny...I should've warned you first.

Daniella: On the bright side, I had the time to immerse myself more on this book while I walked thanks to going to the wrong place first.

Sheila: (Wasn't she afraid of it getting wet on the rain? She can't have "that" much focus...)

Daniella: You looked like you were in deep thought.

Sheila: It's what happens when I look at the rain...

Daniella: Were you having a good time perhaps?

Sheila: Not really...I'm just waiting for the "day that nothing happened so far" to be over.

Daniella: I see...anyway, here's your lunch...I figured you wouldn't be able to eat today so I brought you this.

Sheila: You didn't had to...

Daniella: So...Have you found any interesting tale to share with me?

Sheila: Nothing more interesting than the book you're reading.

Daniella: You don't even know what I'm reading, how can you tell if it's interesting or not?

Sheila: You seemed so interested on keeping reading it...

Daniella: Still doesn't mean that you know its contents. I know you aren't psychic.

Sheila: You got me then...What is the book about?

Daniella: Red Hiding Hood. One of its many interpretations anyway.

Sheila: It's something you've seen before right?

Daniella: Exactly. When I think about it, I should've got that "Parasite Joker" book instead. It hasn't been released worldwide but it has a cult following in our country, and I'm curious to know about why it didn't go so far. I'm not sure what I was thinking when choose to read a story I've heard one thousand times already.

Sheila: Maybe you wanted to get in touch with your inner child?

Daniella: You might actually not be that far off.

Sheila: Well, keep having a good read.

Daniella: I'll ask again: Have you found any interesting tale to share with me? And the attack on Mr. F's Mansion doesn't count. That's all over the news already.

Sheila: Okay then...

Music: Bottomless Pit

Sheila finally opened the lunch box she was given and started to eat its contents while telling the "tale" that Daniella was so interested in listening.


Sheila: This is probably not much but...I've been seeing some strange people at the summer park as of late.

Daniella: Strange how?

Sheila: Once in a while, they would talk on their communicators, as if they were observing something.

Daniella: I assume they weren't the police.

Sheila: Correct. They started showing up yesterday. They would roam the park for a while, then one of them would isolate themselves and started talking on their communicator.

Daniella: It really does look like they are waiting for something...But what exactly?

Sheila: Whatever they were waiting for, didn't happen yesterday. I saw them again before it started raining. This time, their numbers had increased...as if they were gathering for something. Sadly, I couldn't stay for long.

Daniella: Want go back there and check it out? I was going to lend you a spare umbrella anyway.

Sheila: Not a bad idea. I'll go leave my trusty guitar back to my place, then go check it out.

Daniella: It doesn't look like the rain is going to stop so soon...Guess winter really wants to stay for a while longer...Oh Right...I won't let you go alone though. I'll be calling Mr. Bryan to make you company.

Sheila: Bryan?

Daniella Green haired man who is two years older than us, wears a blue shirt with a hood. Has a pair of wings sticking out of his back.

Sheila: Oh, that's Kenneth, right?

Daniella: The very same one. You at least remember his face right?

Sheila: Even if I didn't, I would reconize him by his...um...fashion sense anyway. I'll be waiting for him there.

Daniella: By the way, do you enjoy classic music?

Sheila: Um...Not really a genre that I listen to...But nothing against it.

Daniella: He took a liking to this genre of music, that's all. You'll probably get dragged under his pace if you don't think of something to entertain him.

Sheila: Oh...Well...Maybe I can get him interested in the guitar?

Daniella: Have fun Sheila!

Sheila: I sure hope I do...

Daniella left the building, and soon, Sheila did as well. The rain kept pouring down on the city, not showing any signs of stopping anytime soon.


Sheila: Well...I was needing the bath so...Time to risk catching a cold.

She started running towards her "home", but then, she almost bumped into someone.


???: Whoa!

Sheila: Ah! Sorry, kinda in a hurry. Bye!

???: Be careful not to slip.

Sheila: Wah!

Sheila ended up sliping on the wet floor anyway, but she kept her balance and didn't crash on the floor. She took deep breaths in relief.


Sheila: Whew...Alright...I'll take it easy. Thanks for the warning.

???: You're welcome...

Then, the girl saw Sheila walk away until she was out of sight.


???: Hm...I thought I felt something when she got closer...eh, must be my imagination.
