Kaori: Also Lemon.

Theo: Mine was chesnuts.

Andorina: Grapes.

Nanase: Blueberry.

Reeta: Mine was cherry-flavored. It was great!

Reeta: By the way, there won't be any forced cake-making as long as he's okay with it, you hear me Auror?

Rayla: I second that. I give you guts for declaring that right in front of us, but don't do it again even if you're joking.

Theo: Yikes.

Tiane: Ah! I just remembered...Rayla, what about that guy that wanted to meet Lucent after school?

Rayla: Oh right, now that he's recovering at the shrine, they won't be able to meet.

Theo: Huh? What are you two talking about?

Rayla: We didn't tell you guys this right? Well...

Rayla told everyone about Lucent's meeting with Azrel. Their reactions were pretty much of suspicion.

Music: Escape from Enemy Base

When Team B noticed, they were suddenly in a room they didn't reconize. They were standing over the platform of a huge teleportation machine. Some of the objects from the storage room were also with them.


Hinata: Ah! What?

Kenneth: Where are we?

Saika: This sensation...it's almost as if magic was involved in the teleportation.

Hinata: Excuse me...

Sudddenly, Saika summoned her katana.


Saika: Technically, it is possible to summon a human being with magic, but you need a huge amount of magic for that, because not only you have to consider it's mass, but the amount of power that person has. It's not really something practical to use unless you have a huge amount of magic, so we mostly stick with weapons and other smaller objects.

Hinata: I see...

Saika: (But wait, if the mysterious organization is using a device infused with magic...does this means they've found a way to conserve magic once it leaves the body of a mage? Doesn't that also means that an Ancestor Mage is helping them out? I've got to report this to Barry.) Now then...We're most likely at the enemy's base and they've probably noticed us already.

Kenneth: You're right...I can already hear their footsteps.

Hinata: I'll call for help. We have to get someone to locate the signal of our communicators.

Saika: Good Idea, now let's get going, Kenneth, you lead the way.

Kenneth: Understood.

They started navigating the base, relying on Kenneth's enhanced senses to avoid as many battles as possible. They've noticed that the corridors were rather spacious, as if knowing that if a fight broke out, they would have a big enough space to move. Meanwhile, Hinata was trying to contact someone from the Intelligence Office.

Summer Area - From Rooftop to Rooftop

A lone red-haired girl was jumping from building to building with ease. Her focus right now was to build speed to a bigger leap to a building across the street. Then, her communicator started ringing.


???: Hm? This frequency...

That brief moment made her lose focus, tripping on the edge of the building she was about to jump off.


???: Wah! Nonononononono!

She managed to grab on a window when she started falling, then, pulled herself back up to the top of it.


???: Whew...that was close...N-nobody saw that...right?

The girl once again checked the frequency. It was from someone she knew.


???: Hinata?

Almost immidietaly, she pressed the answer button.


???: Hello Hinata~! How's your day going?

Hinata: Hey Tatsuna, this is an emergency.

Tatsuna: Eh?

Hinata: See if you can track the signal of my communicator. I don't know where I am right now.

Tatsuna: What happened? Are you not at a school right now?

Hinata: No...We're at some sort of underground base. I'll explain the details later.

Tatsuna: Got it. I'll call the navigator and see if she can track your location. Then, I'll be heading there with reinforcements before you know it.

Hinata: Oh, and call Bariand and tell him that there's a teleporter device at the Storage Room in the Sports Building. Tell him that he shouldn't approach it until the spy is caught.

Tatsuna: Roger that! You can count on me.

Hinata: (As I can always do.) See you later.

Tatsuna: (Wasn't really expected to get involved into this...Not complaining though, I've prepared myself for this kind of day.)

Kanzakai School - Surveilance Room


Renath: Huh?

When he was double checking the camera feeds from the 3rd floor, he noticed one in particular that stood out. It was a girl who was aparently trying to keep a door to one of the empty classroom shut. Upon closer inspection, he could see the door shaking, as if someone was trying to open it from the inside.


Renath: Just what's going on over there?

Before he went for his cellphone to call Barry, he saw Zeelena on the camera feed and decided to observe a little more.

Kanzakai School - 3rd Year Classrooms Area: Corridors


Girl: Hey, you over there.

Zeelena: Hm? Me?

Girl: Yes...Go call someone...there's an assassin in this room.

Zeelena: Say what?

Girl: I've been trying to keep him inside until now...but I don't know for how long I'll...GYA!

Zeelena: Here, I'll hold the door for you.

Girl: Thanks...I'll go get the help then...Seems like the guy who has been watching the camera is slacking off.

Renath: (She doesn't know the cameras had been inactive before lunch.)

Zeelena: Really? That sucks. Anyway, you can count on me to keep this door closed.

Girl: Once again, thank you.

As the girl was out of sight, Zeelena decided to let person on the other side open the door.


Tsuya: Finally...Listen, you have to believe me when I said...

Zeelena: Hi Tsuya! Had a feeling it was you on the other side.

Tsuya: What? You're not the girl from before.

Zeelena: Nope! I'm Zeelena Dania! Nice to meet you.

Tsuya: Right...

Zeelena: This smell...

When she checked inside the room, she saw someone's bloodied corpse.


Zeelena: No way...I thought that girl was exagerating but...

Music: Towards Nothingness

She took a few steps back, trying to process what she was seeing. Feeling like she could scream at any moment. Tsuya tried his best to calm her down and to explain the situation, but Zeelena didn't utter another word out of shock. Moments later, Team A arrived at the classroom with the girl from before.


Andressa: Okay...okayokayokayokayokay...what am I seeing? That better be ketchup.

Kenzuki: Ketchup doesn't have that kind of smell...

Barry: He's dead.

Tsuya: ...

Kenzuki: Mr. Abata...you're coming with us to the Student Council Room.

Tsuya: Did you think...I did it?

Kenzuki: It's too early to take assumptions...It will all depend on what the investigation will uncover...And your cooperation as well.

Tsuya: ...Right.

Andressa: ...

Barry: First time seeing death Miss Kou?

Andressa: Of-damn-course...and this up close as well...Dammit, this is just Yusagi all over again.

Zeelena: Yusagi...

Andressa: Tsuya, it better been not you...because I'm not sure what I'll do if I find out the culprit!

Tsuya: ...

The school was alerted of the murder. While that did cause a bit of panic, the students were instructed to stay at their classrooms, as they already had a prime suspect in their custody. A while after, the investigation group found out about the dissapearence of most of Team B, with Barry receinving a call from Tatsuna about Hinata's message soon after.
Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop


Reeta: Hehehe~! About the sweets.

Reeta pulls out the truffles that Lucent made.


Reeta: Ta-da~!

Rayla: Ah, Lucent's truffles.

Theo: Whoa! He made this? That's one talent I didn't knew he had.

Rayla: Tiane and me already had ours, so you can skips us.

Reeta: Okay then, as for everyone else, don't be shy and pick one. I'm sure Lucent would be happy if you guys tried them.

Kaori: In that case, I'll help myself with one.

Nanase: Same here.

Theo: Might as well try one out. We'll all go tell him how good it tasted when we visit him.

Reeta: Yep! (This will surely make him smile.)

Kanzakai School - 3rd Year Classrooms Area: Corridors

Music: The Frontier Fortress

Zeelena had just arrived at the 3rd Floor. As she was about to begin her search, Lyna was passing by.


Lyna: Hm? Hi Zeelena.

Zeelena: Hey Lyna, what brings you here?

Lyna: Just walking around. You?

Zeelena: I'm actually searching for Tsuya. Nicky told me it's important, but he can't say for what it is.

Lyna: (Yep...something is definively happening.) Do you have an idea where he might be?

Zeelena: No...I just saw him climbing the stairs to this place.

Lyna: Well, guess I'll help you out. If it's important, then the more people searching, the better.

Zeelena: Really? Thanks a lot Lyna. I'm sure we're doing something important.

Lyna: I'll search the other classrooms, you search the empty classrooms.

Zeelena: Got it! First one that finds him lets out a scream.

They parted ways, Lyna had a look of worry in her face as she started her search.


Lyna: (Tsuya...What is he doing in this floor? That's not like you at all. All these police officers at the school's entrances...Barry and Drake together...What's going to happen in this school?)

Meanwhile, Team C was were still searching for Vincent Carl, Team D was nearing the Faculty Officer at the first floor while Team A were still searching for cellphones that contained the message about the cameras. Jane had got confirmation that there was indeed a Janitor outside for a couple of moments before lunch.

Kanzakai School - Gym Area: Sports Building

Team B

The group first decided to check the board games section. Ledi told them Tsuya usually went there to practice chess during lunch, but as they got there, he wasn't around. Thinking he might be there later, they headed to the sports field.


Ledi: This is where we play volley during lunchtime and basketball after school.

Kenneth: Why is basketball so late?

Ledi: Oh, we usually switch schedules weekly. So you see, by the next week, we'll be having basketball during lunchtime.

Kenneth: I see.

Ledi: Now then, I believe the storage room Miss Yoru was talking about, is the one a little bit further. It's a large room where we store broken and unused equipment.

Hinata: Is it really that big?

Ledi: Pretty much. I've been there quite a few times to help carry some things. It never really felt that cramped.

Hinata: Right...

They've arrived at the their destination, noticing a huge lock on the door.


Ledi: Oh snap...I forgot about the key.

Saika: There is no time...We'll break it apart. Do not worry, I'll take responsability for this.

Ledi: I-I see...

Hinata: I'll do it Miss Ventorian...now all of you stand back!

They did as instructed and stayed away. Hinata took a deep breath and took a stance.


Hinata: (Let the chi flow, make your soul an body as one...Then, when you have reached a clear mind, it's when you awaken your burning spirit!)

Suddenly, Hinata started generating flames. They rage violently around her, as if being blown by a strong wind.


Hinata: TAKE THIS!!!

She punched the door and it exploded right after.


Ledi: Whoa!

Hinata: Fire is the only element a chi master can produce...It's an art that completely foregoes range in exchange for explosive strikes like the one you saw.

Kenneth: It's impressive indeed. This is the first time I've seen your power Miss Shuusuke. I've heard that chi masters have to train since childhood to break the limits of their body. What made you to pursue such strenght?

Hinata: We'll talk about that later...My motive isn't really that impressive...but I still know it will lead to a longer conversation.

Kenneth: Point taken.

They've entered the storage room and soon noticed something on the middle. It was some sort of metallic disc with antenas coming out of it. Close to it were four metallic bars fixed on the ground, being connected with wires.


Ledi: What is that?

Saika: I'm...not sure myself...Maybe it's a warp device?

Hinata: But what are these bars for? They don't need those to transport weapons.

Ledi: With the cameras turned off...they sure did have a lot of time to set this up.

Hinata: Let's dissasemble this and send to the guild for analysis...No use in destroying it if we don't know what it actually is.

Saika: Agreed.

Ledi: Oh, let me get some tools that might help.

When Ledi left the room to search for a toolbox, suddenly, the device activated, they saw the space around them get distorted.

Music: The 25th Crisis


Saika: What? It's doing something.

Kenneth: But we didn't do anything...unless...

Hinata: It's remote controlled...stay alert guys!
???: It's too late, no matter how fast you are.

Hinata: Huh? You're...

Before Hinata could get a better look at the person talking by the entrace, ripples resembling the warp weapon portal expanded throught the room, making all three of them vanish without a trace after they got touched by it. Some objects on the room also dissapeared together with them, but larger objects stayed in place.

???: Well, seems like this device really works. It's posssible to teleport people using our current tech...But it doesn't seem to discriminate between people and objects.
???: Now then... Tsuya must've been brainwashed by now. I'll contact "that person" for confirmation. We need to get out of here ASAP now that I know this is a trap made for us.
Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop

**Outcast Hunter's Theme still playing**

The group nodded to Marina's idea, appreciating her offer of help.


Rayla: (All these attacks and I was only around for one...Theo being from the Lander Patra Family was a legit surprise for me too...And Kaori using a Compact Glaive...I feel like she is the one that needs to decide what is best for herself.)

Theo: Oh, I already know what destroyed my family...It was the Kresniks.

Rayla: Right...Your family was the first casuality of that war...

Theo: Still, now that Auror mentioned Azura, I do think there is something I should ask her about...My sister.

Rayla: Eh? You had a sister Ted? I mean, Theo.

Theo: Yes...She wasn't found her body in the debris of my home, so I hoped that she somehow escaped like I did.

Theo: Well...if even Azura can't find my sister...Then I guess I should just give up on her huh?

Kaori: I'm sure she has the answer. Have some faith in her.

Theo: ...I sure hope so...

Kaori: Hey, if you'd like, I want to visit Azura to make you company.

Theo: I don't mind...You don't really need to go but I guess I won't stop you...

Andorina: Hmmm...

Kaori: W-What's with the glare Andorina?

Andorina: Nothing. Nothing at all.

Kaori: ???

Tiane: Not being able to dream anymore...

Reeta: Tiane?

Tiane: Well...Actually...Did any of your have some sort of dream you can't forget about no matter how hard you try? Specially a terrible one you had recently?

Rayla: (So she's bringing that up...) You already know I did.

Theo: Eh? You guys don't mean...

Kaori: No way...you two as well?

Theo and Kaori told the group about their lucid dream, then Rayla and Tatianna did the same.


Reeta: Yikes...You four had it rough...

Rayla: Four people...possibly more having a dream about their inner struggles crushing us down...This can't be a coincidence.

Tiane: Now justimagine everyone having terrible nightmares like this...

Kaori: Every waking morning would be hell...I doubt many people would like the pressure. Just think about it gives me the chills...

Theo: Marina, we're counting on you to find out more about how we can stop this oncoming calamity...

Nanase: *whispering* Wow, a lot of things sure does happen here...

Andorina: *whispering* It happens a lot if you hang out with us. You're garanteed to be always entertained.

Nanase: *whispering* I see...Should I even be listening to all of this?

Reeta: *whispering* Even if we don't get involved in their adventures, we can at least give them moral support for their upcoming dangers.

Nanase: *whispering* I see...I guess you're right. (They are sure going to need every bit of it...)


Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop


Rayla and Nanase: Foo! What a great breeze!

Andorina: Whoa, in sync...

Reeta: Seems like she found someone that also enjoys the wind.

Tiane: Great...two Raylas...

Kaori: That doesn't sound so bad...

Tiane: For you...Listening to her lectures in stereo sounds like the worse nightmare ever. (Not really...but still pretty frightening.)

Theo: Hehehehe...

Rayla: Anyway, we're here now Auror...

Theo: And we have a lot to talk about what happened these past hours.

Kaori decided to go first, explaining to everyone what happened during the attack at her house and how she came to use the compact glaive, resisting its brainwashing directive and fighting off the mysterious organization with her Psychic Powers. Then, it was Theo's turn to talk about the event at the Seimei Mansion, how the group that attacked them were seemingly doing it on their own volition, Theo revealing that he is the last member of the Lander Patra family, as well as Hinamori's awakening, explaining the true reason why he was always sleepy in class. Lastly, Rayla told them about their "battle" against Doremy, which ended with her escaping.



Fleeting Memories School - Corridors

Music: People continue to live

Ted, Kaori and Andorina were waiting for the others in order to head towards the rooftop. Meanwhile, Kaori was greeted by other students who missed her presence and the ones that were glad she was fine. A few seconds later, they saw Reeta heading towards them.


Reeta: Hey there guys!

Kaori: Hello.

Reeta: You two got here rather late...Did Kaori had some trouble waking Ted up?

Theo: Nothing of the sort...something else happened on the way.

Reeta: D-Does it have anything to do with the explosion?

Theo: Is it the same one people have been gossiping about?

Reeta: That's the one...I'll tell you when we get to the rooftop...

Tiane: What's up?

Nanase: Hello again to the ones that knows me.

Andorina: Hi Nanase!

Tiane: The school's atmosphere is kinda heavy today...Not only because of the explosion, but also because of that Sorano girl again...

Andorina: That's right...I could hardly see any smiles.

Nanase: Can't really blame them...School should've been cancelled today for safety...

Rayla: I want to say the problem has been solved, but the culprit escaped after we've beat them.

Tiane: And there's our girl.

Nanase: (So this is Rayla huh? She sure has an imposing aura...Not that it's a bad thing with her.)

Rayla: Seems like our group keeps getting bigger. Not only Kaori is here, but now we have someone new as well.

Nanase: I'm Nanase! Pleased to meet you.

Rayla: I'm Rayla Celest Lilly...well, you probably already know who I am.

Nanase: Not personally...Would be glad to know more about you.

Rayla: Then welcome aboard! Now then, I guess we should be going to the rooftop now...We sure have a lot of catching up to do.

Kaori: That we do...

Rayla: (I want to search for Mia, but I guess I should only do that after classes are over. Right now, it's better to get everyone up to date.)

Kanzakai School - Student Council Room


Renath: Alright Hall Monitors, be extra alert today. A student might be in danger and we should do our best to find out who's the one after him.

Italo Rowin: We've got the message.

Ledi Deminen: You can count on us boss.

Kenzuki Kata: I'll make sure nothing escapes my eye.

Nadia Flawna: That's fine and all boss...but which student is in danger again? I don't think we know their name.

Renath: You don't know? I thought you deduced who it was by now.

Nadia: I have no clue.

Kenzuki: You really should know since he's in the area you patrol.

Nadia: Someone in my area that is being chased by the mysterious organization....

Nadia: AH!!! You don't mean Tsuya, do you?

Renath: Exactly.

Nadia: Man...Not only he has to deal with all of this bullying...and now there's this too?

Ledi: Indeed...He goes through a lot everyday already.

Italo: Speaking of the guy...how was he today?

Nadia: According to Jane...He's been a bit distant, but aside from that, he didn't get bullied...

Kenzuki: Yet...I've read a report from Ledi yesterday that he was attacked by the bullies after he left the sports gym.

Ledi: Guess he won't be in a mood to play basketball today...

Renath: Maybe you can ask him about that later. Right now, you all should get to work.
The Four: Understood!

As the Hall Monitors left the Student Council Room, they saw that the group that was going to aid them was already there, waiting for them.


Hiagor: Good afternoon Hall Monitors. Are you ready for an adventure?

Nadia: Ready and raring to go!

Barry: Are you all properly briefed in the situation.

Kenzuki: Yes, all details have been reported to us. We're counting with your cooperation.

Saika: Same here. Let's work hard and do our best to complete our task. We shall not let them have their way.

Nadia: (I think this is the first time I see Miss Kata and Saika in the same place...their wavelenghts are so similar it gives me the chills.) Now then...Team C was it? Let's head to my area.

Mina: That's us. Ready when you are!

Nadia: Cool! Let's jam!!!

Nadia, Mina, Hyde and Nicholas heads towards the corridors were the 2nd year classrooms were located.


Italo: I believe I'll be working with Team D.

Hiagor: Seems like you're stuck with the nerds over here.

Italo: I don't mind. I happen to be fairly smart myself. Not the extent of Tsuya though.

Daniella: Seems like you have more in you than good looks. In that case, we should trade books. I'm mostly a fan of literature myself.

Italo: What a coincidence. Me too.

Renath: (Seems like we won't have that much trouble getting along.)

Renath, Hiagor, Daniella and Italo headed to the 1st year corridors.


Ledi: I'm responsable to watch over the Gym Area.

Saika: Our group then.

Kenneth: I've heard that Mr.Tsuya is really good at chess.

Ledi: That he is. He usually plays during lunchtime while after school he goes play basketball with me. Do you enjoy chess as well?

Kenneth: I don't exactly have much practice with it, but I'm aware of the concept of planning multiple moves.

Ledi: Then I'm sure he's going to have a good time with you.

Ledi, Kenneth, Saika and Hinata went for the Gym.


Kenzuki: That leaves only us then. You better take this seriously Miss Andressa. A half-baked perfomance in a situation like this is unacceptable.

Andressa: When I'm serious, I'm damn serious y'know? You'll see how well I'll perform Miss Shogun!

Drake: Oh boy...Now I'm really concerned.

Barry: If their rivalry is what gets Miss Kou more motivated, then we should let it be.

Drake: Is it really okay though?

Barry: You know her better than me, so if she do anything reckless, you have my permission to stop her.

Drake: (The question is, will I be able to...)

And thus, the remaining team heads towards the 3rd Year area.

**music stops**

Kanzakai School - 1st Year: Classroom 1E


???: (Hmmm...It's lunchtime already...but ever since Tsuya left for the bathroom, he hasn't come back yet...)

???: (He has been avoiding me today...At first, I just let it be..He probably wanted to be alone...Specially after what happened yesterday...)

???: (...But now I'm worried. He always make sure to attend to every class...I should search for him.)

The girl was his first friend on the school, someone he could count on in a place were the majority of the students treated him with disdain thanks to his overwhelming talents. While people treats Bariand and Saika as people to look up to, Tsuya's lack of charisma and overall presence made him an outcast in the eyes of others. Tsuya never understood why the only eyes aimed at him were the one of envy. Such fact saddened the boy.

Everyday, he was the target of bullying, even with Nadia actively protecting him during school hours, he would always be chased after it ended. Always being told how he was way inferior to the two school idols, being told to not being full of himself just because he was talented. It got to a point where his best friend, Jane Katherine, was a victim of the bullying once.

Kanzaki School - Front of an empty classroom


Tsuya: Katy...I'm sorry, this is my fault...it's because I'm so cursed that this happened. Why can't these people accept me? What did I do to them? What did I do to deserve all of this? Why does my friend has to suffer this as well? Why do I need to be protected? I don't get it...I don't get it...

Tsuya: What I'm about to do might be wrong but...For once, I want to feel like I can stand on my own. I've had it with all of this.

He had called the one who harmed his friend to an empty classroom. Knowing his "rival" wouldn't lose the chance to bully Tsuya even more, he would be sure the man would be waiting for him there. Tsuya took a deep breath before touching the doorknob and twisting it to the right.
Summer Area - Ryoukan Tsurugiya Inn

Music: Chizuru


Sheila: Hi there Madam Kashiwa-

Chizuru: ...

Sheila: I mean...Miss Kashiwagi...

Chizuru: Good Morning Sheila, what brings you here?

Sheila: I've been walking for quite a while after something, so I decided to take a break under your roof.

Chizuru: I see. Who's your friend by the way?

Sheila: Pardon?

Daisy: Oh...So this is an inn after all.

Sheila: W-What are you doing here?

Daisy: Hiding of course. Just wanted to make sure you weren't duping me.

Chizuru: Did something happen?

Sheila: Some thugs were attacking her, but she got rid of them by herself.

Chizuru: That's amazing.

Daisy: You think so?

Chizuru: Yes. Anyone of your size that can fight a group of grown ups and win is impressive.

Sheila: Some of them weren't exactly grown ups...but it was great nonetheless.

Daisy: A-Anyway, I'll stay here until night if you don't mind.

Chizuru: Only if you help me out with today's work. I don't really have space for someone who isn't paying.

Daisy: Fair enough...

Sheila: Oh right...you're almost out of vacant rooms.

Chizuru: And today is going to be yet another tough battlefield.

Sheila: Do your best.

Chizuru: Anyway, do you want any refreshments? It's on the house.

Sheila: Any cold juice is okay.

Daisy: Same here.

Chizuru: Very well.

Sheila: Wait, before you go...have you seen this man?

Chizuru: ...No...Doesn't look like someone I've met before. Maybe Mr. Majima knows.

Sheila: Hopefully... (Well, that one was worth a try.)

Chizuru left for the kitchen to get some drinks. Sheila found a chair to sit on while Daisy just looked around.


Sheila: So...You said you have a room at the Sunshine Hotel right? Maybe you should phone your parents to tell them that you'll be fine.

Daisy: They moved from this city two years ago.

Sheila: Eh?

Daisy: Actually, why am I telling you this? What I do here is none of your business. No need to worry about it.

Daisy: My motivations are pretty stupid anyway.

Sheila: But you saw that I wasn't lying to you...

Daisy: ...

Sheila: (And she's ignoring me...It's safe to say she still doesn't trust me.) Well...In that case, if you're living with someone, maybe...

Daisy: I already got the message the first time you mentioned it.

Sheila: R-Right...

Daisy: Anything else? If not...then leave me be...

Sheila: (Guess I won't be her friend anytime soon.)

Spring Zone - Sougetsu Shrine Kitchen

Music: Shrine

After making sure nobody was watching them, Vineria decided to tell Yuzuhira about the resistant group.


Yuzuhira: Interesting. I was wondering if one of those was going to show up knowing the situation of the city.

Leoric: Do you have any questions?

Yuzuhira: Just one, Do you guys have any In-Births in your group.

Vinny: None at the moment.

Yuzuhira: Great! Would make my job easier if you guys didn't make them fight.

Leoric: I'm guessing you're upset at the Guild because of Kail and Rosa.

Yuzuhira: More or less...It doesn't look like those two in particular gets into many fights...Would be worrying if those guys from the mysterious group tried to discover more about them.

Vinny: Ah, there's that huh? Well, I'm sure they probably already know...We haven't seen an In-Birth in their ranks yet...Either they are not interested in trying it out or can't. I mean, if you can easily create a bunch of soldiers with super powers, then you might as well exploit it.

Yuzuhira: They probably can't...it does involve a very risky method that might not even work...

Vinny: (Which is why they are using a less risky method to raise an army...Using the Compact Glaives on people who already had a rigorous physical trainning in order to better adapt to the strain of the first transformation...Then use those soldiers to capture Psychic Users and brainwash them into servitude...)

Yuzuhira: That boy in the photo...Where does he live again?

Leoric: Hakurei Shrine.

Yuzuhira: I see. You guys want to know more about him right? Then I'll pay him a visit.

Vinny: I don't know...It might be risky...

Yuzuhira: But you said that he helped rescue someone right?

Leoric: He might have second intentions.

Yuzuhira: In that case, you don't need to worry about me. Have you forgotten who you're talking to?

Vinny: In that case, I guess you can go ahead...

Yuzuhira: Okay! Do you guys have a phone?

Vinny: Have this.

Vineria gives Yuzuhira a piece of paper containing a number that looked some a radio frequency.


Yuzuhira: Um...

Vinny: Don't worry, this number works. As long as we're in the city, you'll be able to contact us.

Leoric: Do not underestimate our tech.

Yuzuhira: Cool! I'll keep contact then.

Vinny: With that settled, I think we should go.

Yuzuhira: Have fun with your rebellion Vinny!

Vinny: You should take care as well Yuzu.

Then, the members of the resistance left the shrine. Yuzuhira decided it would be better to visit the Hakurei Shrine at night.

Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop

Rayla received Auror's text and read it carefully, heavily sighing after she was done with it.


Rayla: She does know she can actually leave school at anytime if something more important than studies show up right? It isn't considered abuse...

Rayla: Well...Lucent is probably going to get overwhelmed by her questions, so I better talk some sense into her...
Summer Area - Front of Ryokan Tsurugiya Inn

Sheila has been on the search for quite a while, but no results so far.


Sheila: Sigh...I wonder if Carlu is having the same luck...

She reconized the Inn and Decided to take a break in there, but before she approached the door, she heard a pained scream coming from further ahead in the road.


Sheila: Oh boy...I wonder if Mr. Debt Collector is after someone again...

Music: Speed Star

Sheila heads towards the source of the scream. When she arrives there, she sees a bunch of thugs in the ground. There was a girl fighting even more of them, using moves similar to Taekwondo.


Sheila: Whoa! Impressive.
Thug: D-Don't praise her Sheila...She's kicking our ass.

Sheila: Wow, Really?
Thug: Well...what does it look like?

Sheila: Hehehe...Maybe you guys are just getting soft. She looks younger than I do... (But then again, age doesn't really matter in this city.)

She decided to watch the fight a little more. The girl was rather fast, always managing to open a space between her and the thugs. Her kicks were always well aimed at their weak spots. She had the advantage of knowing a martial art, as well as knowing where to hit in order to take down enemies faster. Sheila could tell she was just as normal as the thugs she was fighting, but it was still an impressive display of skill nonetheless.


Girl: Huff...Huff...

Sheila: (Yep, fatigue is catching up to her. Seems like they've been doing this for a while.)
Thug: Got you now!

Girl: !!!

The girl had a delayed reaction, her kick was intercepted and she was grabbed by the neck, being carried at full force towards a lamp post. Sheila felt it was time to intervene, but then, the girl used the lamp post as a foothold for her other leg, stoping the advance for a second, hitting the guy on the head with her knee with great strenght, knocking him out.


Girl: *cough* And...stay down...Unless you want more of my shoe in your faces.
Thug: Gah...I''m done playing tag, I'm out of here.

Music: Investigation ~ Opening 2016

The gang ran out in fear, shamed that they were bested by a small girl. Sheila clapped her hands in awe, but that just earned a glare from the mysterious girl.


Girl: What? You want a fight too?

Sheila: N-No...I was just impressed by your performance, that's all.

Girl: You can't fool me. You look just as shady as them.

Sheila: (It's the hood, isn't it?)

Girl: Well, you won't take me down.

Sheila: Those guys are most likely coming back with reinforcements. If you struggled to fight that bunch, the next one are sure to beat you down and do god knows what. So fighting me is the last thing you want to do right now.

Girl: Urgh...

Sheila: There's an inn over there that you can stay. It's on me.

Girl: No need to pay...I'm at the Sunshine Hotel.

Sheila: In that case, just hide in the inn until the coast is clear, now follow me.

Girl: Why?

Sheila: Well...You need to hide.

Girl: I know that, but why do I have to follow you?

Sheila: I mean...If I wanted to fight you, I would've done so long ago.

Girl: I know you're trying to trick me.

Sheila: But you seemed to agree with my hiding idea...

Girl: This is different.

Sheila: Well...that's fair I guess...Well, good luck out there. If you need me, I'll be at the Summer Park. That's where I usually stay when I'm not busy.

Girl: Why would I need you?

Sheila: Oh, that's right.

Sheila pulled out Drake's photo and showed to the girl.


Sheila: You haven't seen this guy around, have you?

Girl: Hmmm...I think I saw someone similar heading towards Spring Zone yesterday...

Sheila: Yesterday huh? (That doesn't tell me anything...)

Girl: That's all?

Sheila: Pretty much...Thanks anyway...err...

Girl: I'm Ry-

Daisy: No, I mean...My name is Daisy...I'm Daisy!!!

Sheila: I'm Sheila, nice to meet you.

Daisy: I didn't ask...

Sheila: (She still doesn't trust me...) Well, see you around Daisy.

Then, Sheila headed towards the Inn again, not knowing that Daisy was following her.

Spring Zone - Sougetsu Shrine

After some time going up the stairs, Vineria and Leoric arrived at the shrine.


Leoric: HUFF...HUFF...ARF...

Vinny: I've seriously seen normal people that are more durable than you...

Leoric: Give me a break...I don't like heavy work...I just pull triggers...

Vinny: I've seriously seen normal people that...

Leoric: You don't need to repeat yourself.

???: Oh hey, wasn't expecting visitors today.

In front of them, there was the current protector of the shrine, Yuzuhira. She was happily waving at them while holding a broom. Suddenly, Leoric approached her like a lightning bolt, kneeling at her and talking in a slow and deep voice.


Leoric: I'm so pleased to meet you my dear and precious hunny. I'm the handsome and illustrous Leoric Ferdinand, but you can reffer to my person as "The hunk of man of your wildest and craziest dreams."

Yuzuhira: Um...hello?

Leoric: I come from a far away and distant place, here just to meet and be awed at your exuberant and gracious presence. Let go of that uncouth cleaning tool and free yourself of such heavy burden. A fair maiden like you deserves way better than a work such a this...you deserve to enjoy the wonders and beauty of this marvelous city with someone.

Yuzuhira: Ah...Did sis call for someone to clean the house?

Music: Zelos


Leoric: Excuse me?

Yuzuhira: Man, that sure is a relief. I've been kinda stressed as of late, so a hired Cleaner is just what I needed..

Leoric: No...I'm not...

Yuzuhira gives Leoric the broom and starts streching.


Yuzuhira: Man, I guess I'll head out and have fun with her. Been a while since we've gone out together. I'm counting on your Mr.Cleaner!

Leoric: What?

Vinny: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Leoric: Oh man...

Yuzuhira: Are you his assistant? What's your name?

Leoric: Her name is Vineria Orston.

Vinny: (Why you...)

Yuzuhira: I see...I'll call her Vinny!

Vinny: I like you already!

Leoric: Today isn't my day...

Yuzuhira: Anyway...joking aside, who are you guys anyway?

Leoric: (So she deliberately toyed with me...I hate when they do that...)

Vinny: We know that you patrol the streets all the time, stopping fights between In-Births.

Yuzuhira: Oh, so you guys know who I am. Is this because I'm scaring people by Ayame-Chan around?

Vinny: Nothing of the sort. We've come to ask for some information about an In-Birth in particular.

Yuzuhira: Hmmm...I'm bad at remembering names.

Vinny: In that case, here's a photo.

She showed a photo of Xaizor's fight with Gelato.


Vinny: Have you seen this man? His name is Xaizor. He isn't exactly a bad guy as far as we know, but we want to be sure if he's an In-Birth or not.

Yuzuhira: No...Never seen him before.

Vinny: Are you sure?

Yuzuhira: I would've reconized that ability if I did.

Vinny: I see... (Well, there goes that possibility out the window...)

Yuzuhira: Is that all?

Vinny: Yes. Sorry for bothering you.

Yuzuhira: None at all...But you guys still didn't ask my question.

Vinny: We...can't exactly tell who we are right now unless we're in a private location.

Yuzuhira: More private than this?

Vinny: Indoors is always the better place for a conversation like this.

Yuzuhira: Then, as payment for this info, how about we go inside? I can't exactly let you guys out without knowing your true intentions. You guys might be up for no good.

Vinny: Fair enough. Let's go Cleaner, you have a job to do.

Leoric: I'm not a damn cleaner!

Yuzuhira: But you said that you were "The hunk of man of your wildest and craziest dreams." Right now, that's what I'm needing; a guy who can do the house chores for me.

Leoric: Urgh... (Nope...this one is out of question...)

Fleeting Memories School - 1st Year Classroom D

Meanwhile, some of the students were still concerned about the explosion. There was still an atmosphere of fear and dread.


Nanase: It seems to have stopped but...It could happen again sooner or later. There hasn't been any announcements, which means classes will continue...But is this right?

Geeves: I've seen some officers outside, so I guess that's giving the school's staff enough reason to continue.

Nanase: (But they can't do much...)

Geeves: I'm upset as well, but what can we do?

Nanase: ...Yeah...

Geeves: Let's look at the bright side though, classes weren't cancelled.
Group of Students that heard GV: BOOOOOO!!!!
Another Student: SHUT UP NERD!!!

Nanase: Not everyone likes being at school you know.

Geeves: Oh...right...

Spring Zone - Streets


Jerry: I'll let him recover for now. Besides, you've already told me a lot. And also, I need to go back to my post. I'm still replacing Kail and Rosa for the day. With that, I'm heading off.

Rayla: Tell Lucent that his friends said hi. I'll take good care of the truffles.

Reeta: Say...May I keep those with me?

Rayla: Sure thing. Actually, I think you should stay with those. I'm going to skip the 1st period.

Reeta: Eh? Why?

Rayla: I have a lot in my mind...I don't think I can focus on class right now.

Reeta: Okay...

Both girls headed towards school after saying good-bye to Reimu. Rayla would spend the first period in the rooftop, feeling the breeze while watching the blue sky.

Spring Zone - Vineria's Van

Music: More Gun

Leoric was the one driving the van. Vineria was busy checking her tablet. She has a lot of cameras spreaded around Unitia City, which allows her to watch happens in the city at any time. She had just finished seeing Doremy fleeing through a portal.


Vinny: (Once more, we aren't dealing with what's considered normal in this world...)

Leoric: You've been quiet for quite a while.

Vinny: Kinda in a bad mood right now.

Leoric: It's not because of me is it?

Vinny: Not this time. I've been paying attention to Jerald's weaponry...seems like Touko really takes after her sister.

Leoric: Maybe that's how much she idolized her.

Vinny: Probable...But still...She never bothered to make anything unique yet. How she expects to surpass her sister if she keeps on like this?

Leoric: What about the warp weapon system?

Vinny: Technically, she learned it from Professor Makis, who then, took it from the DUST Organization.

Leoric: You must be feeling superior right now.

Vinny: Not really...the only "unique" device I've built was to accommodate my fighting style.

She pulled one of the SPIGOT rings and started spinning it in her hand.


Vinny: Oh, and also removing the tracking signal on Sheila's Glaive...but Touko can do it too thanks to the Professor.

Leoric: Wait, how did you managed to remove the signal?

Vinny: Took a while to figure out what it was...Wasn't an easy task.

Leoric: Brute force huh? Guess what's impressive is that you did it without outside help.

Vinny: Maybe I'll visit her one day an treat her to some coffee.

Leoric: If she accepts that is. (I still remember asking her out, but she said she was too busy...I didn't even get a no...)

Vinny: It's me, so she will. I know she's the kind person that listens to those that talks her language. She doesn't have any business with the uneducated riff raff.

Leoric: I'm well aware...Hey, isn't that the place?

They reached the stairs that lead to the Sougetsu Family's Shrine.


Vinny: Super! Time to exercise my legs!

Leoric: At least someone is excited for the climbing.

Vinny: I heard that Yuzuhira is quite the looker. If I was you, I wouldn't lose this chance.

Leoric: Well what are we waiting for? Let's tackle this challenge! She'll be impressed by my strenght for sure.

Vinny: (Poor, predictable, laughable and pathetic man...)

And thus, the climbing began.
Spring Zone - Streets

Music: Old Friends


Kalina: Man, that sure was a workout! (I'm not looking foward to the next time, I'm winded already after a single Indignation.)

Jerry and Rayla: Crap...she ran away...

Kalina: At least it's over...right?

Jerry and Rayla: It's not right!

Rayla: It's clear she doesn't regret what she just did...She needs more punishment.

Jerry: She's too dangerous...arresting her is top priority.

Kalina: (At least on this, they are out of sync.)

Reeta: Oh...It's over...

Rayla: Worried about Lucent I presume.

Reeta: Of course! Also because Kaito was being reckless.

Rayla: Next time...try to be more reasonable...I'm sure these fights are going to get more destructive and dangerous.

Reeta: Collaterals right?

Jerry: Yes...As much as we don't want to...we have to go all out...

Reeta: Yes...I'll be more careful from now on...

Kalina: Well, I'll go get Tatianna. She's probably going to get surprised that it was over already.

Rayla: You do that. See you another day Miss Kalina.

Then, just like how she got there, she got out, running at blinding speeds.


Jerry: Meanwhile, I'll go call someone to assess all this damage...Oh, by the way Rayla.

Rayla: Hm?

Jerry: This girl isn't a member of the Yurei Seimei.

Rayla: ...She's not?

Jerry: Nope. She's Reimu from the Hakurei Shrine.

Rayla: Oh...You know her?

Jerry: Not personally. I do have memorized the names of all important people and places of this city.

Rayla: That's...Oh, right, you have Psychic Powers. Having beyond excellent memory is one of the quirks.

Jerry: Exactly.

Reeta: (Holy hell...He better not have a way to sense I'm a Psychic too...)

Rayla: I've comitted a big mistake...

Jerry: *starts typing his phone* So...what's this concept of dreaming will ceasing to exist actually means? I'm sure it's not something related to giving the entire population insomnia.

Rayla: Well...


Doremy: All Nightmares want to come and savor all sorts of hopes from humans. Sooner or later, the concept of dreaming will cease to exist and only terror will pass by through human minds.


Rayla gritted her teeth. Just remembering the lucid dream killed her mood. Getting all solemn again over the fact that her "family" doesn't want her to fight a seemingly impossible battle.


Rayla: Maybe it's already happening...or it's one big coincidence...

Yurei Seimei Mansion - Destroyed Front Gate

When they got outside again, they saw a bunch of police cars at the front. The paralyzed Glaive soldiers were being placed under arrest. They saw Alty holding a transparent bag with the confiscated devices.


Kaori: Hm? That one is dressed like a student.

Theo: Looks like she's commanding them.

Alty: Hm? Oh, hello there. The Guild received the distress call and we tried to come as fast as we could.

Theo: Judging how you guys are already here, I'm willing to believe in you. If we were actually fighting that woman right now, you guys would've probably seen her.

Alty: Woman?

Kaori: Yes. She was tall as you, had light brown hair, green eyes, wore a white shirt with a red bowtie and a dark purple skirt. Ted, can you lend me a piece of paper? I think I can draw her face.

Theo: Sure.

She hands her a pencil with a paper and she starts drawing on it. Moments later, she was done. It was a near perfect representation of Eve Stein's face.


Theo: Whoa! When did you...

Kaori: Psychic Powers.

Theo: Right...good memorization and heightened precision...

Alty: Let me see...

When she takes a look at the drawing, a single word escapes her lips.


Alty: Sis...

Theo: Hm?

Alty: She really does look like her.

Kaori: (That tone of voice...there's a hint of sadness there.)

Alty: Say Kaori, do you have any other info on her?

Kaori: Nothing on the Glaive Database I'm afraid.

Alty: Sigh...Did she even said her name?

Kaori: I think it was Eve? Yeah, I heard them saying each other's names.

Alty: I see, thanks for sharing that with me. Hey, do you want me to take you guys to school?

Theo: Is it okay?

Alty: Sure thing, we're almost done here anyway. We can pass on the way.

Kaori: Thanks a lot.

They both followed Alty to a police car. Then, took off to school after boarding the vehicle.
Spring Zone Streets

Music: Fight


Kalina: No mercy?

Rayla: No mercy. That explosion a while ago makes me think she might be more resistant than she looks, so...

Rayla starts gathering a huge amount of magic in her right hand. Kalina starts reciting a chant while Jerry talks in his communicator.


Jerry: This is Jerald, requesting permission to acess Mana's Virtue Cannons. Enemy threat level is possibily class S.
Navigator: Understood, acess granted.

Then, one big cannon and two small turrets appeared from the warp weapon portals. Jerry picked the bigger gun and pointed it at Doremy, using his psychic aura to hold the other turrets in order to press their triggers when the main gun finishes the charging.


Kalina: I stand in the place bathed in heavenly light, thou art where the gate to the Underworld opens!

As she chanted the spell, many magic circles appeared around Doremy, forming some kind of tower.


Rayla: Think twice before attacking this place and my friend! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! FENRISWOLF!!!

Kalina: I call upon the divine lighting to rain destruction! INDIGNATION!!!

Jerry: Virtue Cannon: FULL BURST!!!

Rayla fires a supercharged beam of magic, Kalina summons a powerful lighting bolt from the sky while Jerry fires a giant beam of energy from the Virtue Cannons.

Yurei Seimei Mansion - Corridors

Music: MAD UNIVERSE

As they were heading to the reunion hall, they saw Himika being carried by one of the guards.


Theo: Sis!

Himika: There you guys are.

Hinamori: ...

Himika: Cousin Hina!
Guard: Whoa! Wait!

Himika ran towards Hinamori, losing her balance mid-run because of her injuries. Hinamori picked her before she fell.


Hinamori: You're...Himika?

Himika: I missed you a lot...All these years, I've been praying for your success...and hoping that you return...And you did! Welcome back.

Hinamori: Y-Yeah...I'm home.

Theo: You look like you took quite a beating.

Himika: This is because I fell down some stairs.

Taira: The only stairs we have are at the sacred ground's pagoda.

Himika: Oh...Well, whatever, let me enjoy this moment.

Kaori: Sure. Me and Ted will be going to school now.

Theo: It's going to take a while for people to get used to my other name.

Himika: What do you mean?

Theo: I used my earth magic.

Himika: YOU USED YOUR EARTH MAGIC? YAY! THIS MEANS YOU'RE FINALLY...OW!!!

She got so excited that she forgot about her injuries for a moment and lost balance again due to the pain. Hinamori didn't pick her this time.


Hinamori: Seems like certain things never change...Was the only thing that got big was your height?

Himika: Eeeeeh?

Hinamori: I'll take this fool to her room and treat her injuries. Cousin Theo, tell me more about how school is like later.

Theo: Okay...

Kaori: See you later! Hihihi!

Himika: Have a nice da-OW! Don't pull my arm that hard Hina...My whole body got crushed against a truck...

Hinamori: You have to do your own part in getting up.

Himika: ...You've got a lot bitter since the last time...

Taira: She just have to get used to people again. You know she had to endure many horrible things during her trainning...Ever since she was child.

Himika: (Yeah...I shouldn't be surprised by this...having only the spirits to take care of her...)
