DeathScythe386's Characters

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN'T SPLIT INTO PARTS!?

0 · 6,657 views · located in World of 386....

a character in “World 386”, as played by DeathScythe386

Description

FIRST THINGS FIRST! MOD INFORMATION:

Image

"DAMN LAG IS SCREWING UP MY STREAK-- Oh hey, uh, so, DeathScythe386 here, otherwise known as Scythe-kun, I guess? Just your average shut-in and 8th grader syndrome victim, I guess, and a computer addict. Sometimes I write fictional stories and fanfics, and sometimes, I draw. Though I'm not exactly the best. Picture above was drawn by me and-- OH NO SPINNER MARKS! MY WORST ENEMY--"


Image
Alto Skyefield
"*munching*Oh sorry, what were you saying? I was eating and..."

The sickly boy of the roleplay Setting Sun, Alto is an EXTREMELY dense boy, which means he's oblivious to the fact that people like- love- him. He has a bad habit of eating too much not only because his body is fragile and such, but because he actually just really likes food. He can be serious at times, though rarely. His sickness makes him pass out randomly, and the most known symptom is him grabbing at his chest in pain.

Image
Kiro Kanato
"I hate humanity. N-Not you though. Doesn't mean I like you either. You know what, just get out of my sight and-- I SAID GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, NOT CLING TO ME, DAMMIT!"

The anti-social guy of And You Are..? Kiro frequently claims to hate humanity, but don't get him wrong, he still has a heart, kinda. He barely talks and is mostly unnoticed- Sitting in his seat for 3 hours and everyone's still looking for him-, and he is actually childhood friends with Kanoko Sei. Funny thing is, Misato Aokigahara sees him but they barely talk at all. Just acquaintances. Maybe.

Image
Kanoko Sei
"Huh? Um, no. Do I really look like the type who you normally see at bars, flirting with guys?"

Another person coming from And You Are..? She's almost the exact opposite of Kiro- cheerful and will annoy the living hell out of you at the wrong place, wrong time. Again, like others, she can still be serious, but then again, she almost never gets serious. Unless she has to fight with a whole fanclub, of course. She was childhood friends with Kiro Kanato and refers to him as "Kana-kun". Will probably have a bad relationship with Ai Mochizuki, and a partially-good relationship with the others.

Image
Ataro Hatsuyuki
"Stay out of the way, calmly hand me your weapon, and no one gets hurt!"

One of our most known people, coming from Unhappy Refrain. Ataro is yet another Mr. Cold-Hearted of the ladies, and he locks himself in most of the time. He loves cola, and he spends most of his time on the computer. Upon meeting Ayano Kujikawa, Annabel Lee, Arata Natari and Alexa Flarea, they form something called the A-Brigade. He has insanity fits, causing him to attack with his trusty pair of red scissors. Is in the process of trying to acquire a harem.

Image
Skye Advent
"Huh? My ideal woman? Uh, long hair, nice personality, long hair-- Oh wait, why are you even asking?"

Skye Advent, coming from the world of Chiascuro, AKA A Game of Light and Shadow. He's a half-beast knight, who abandoned the Order to join Izumo. Managed to convince Grace Aralis into joining hiim, and has a friendly relationship with Basileus. His mentor is Iruga Kamishiro, and during a simulation, his battle data was matched against Chloe Schwarz Victoria's, and much to his dismay, he lost. May or may not have feelings towards Grace Aralis.

Image
Basileus
"Whaaa?! Advent! Why the hell are you scoring chicks without me!?"

The half-automaton, half-dragon of the faction of Izumo, coming from Chiascuro. He switches between two modes, and is even slightly arrogant, but deep down there's a kind king. Good friends with Skye Advent and trains under Iruga Kamishiro.

Image
Yoru Yurasaki
"Hahahaaa! Bravo! Great performance, spirits-- YEEOOWWWW!!!!!"

Everyone's favorite Spirit Dancer, Yoru is the symbolic entity in The Night's Dance. Guarded by 5 Spirit Guards, he usually loves annoying them and escaping the theater even if there isn't an event. He seems to have an obsession with his older sister- who frankly looks like Misaki Aokigahara- and was seen by Tsubaki Hayashi in her yard before. It's unknown if he loves anyone aside from his sister.

Image
Tsubaki Hayashi
"Uh, yeah, I'm your leader for this....Wait, what do you mean I'm charged with almost everything?!"

The leader of the Thesis group in The Night's Dance, she apparently is scary at first glance- what with the hood and death glare- and she claims to have seen the Spirit Dancer before. Is the black sheep of the Hayashi family, but gets along with her little sister Hana well. Is good friends with her group, and usually does the most research on the Spirit Dancer.

Mikuru looked through her notes.
"All of you are in the same group as me and Alto-kun. Class 4-C. So, let's get going."
As Mikuru walked inside with Alto and Ayano, Amiya lagged behind. She finally found the Ataro guy that Alexa announced her infatuation for.
"Do you feel the same way she does? If so, I would tell her~ With her cuteness, I bet someone will steal her. But, what do I know~?"
Amiya then skipped ahead to Mikuru, eager to catch up with her old friend after the tour. Arata hung behind everyone else, keeping an eye out for anything related to medical studies. Alexa and Siren were in the middle bickering.
"I still don't understand what was wrong about my introduction."
"You mean aside from making yourself look like an idiot? Seriously, you could have revealed anything else."
Alexa lowered her voice to a whisper.
"Like what? The fact that I was homeless? The fact that my family's dead? Oh, I got it! You want me to reveal that my split personality is-"
Siren covered Alexa's mouth to avoid further details.
"I see your point... Still, infatuation?! Couldn't you have said "he's my best friend" or something?"
"Then I would be lying. It's bad to lie on the first day. At least that's what I heard."
Siren slammed her head against a wall.
'God, why did she have to be my little sister?'
Elsewhere, Misato walked over to the group alone after Setsuna followed Kanoko back to Ciel, Kiro and Aokigahara. He stopped once he found Mikuru and Alto.
"Miku-chan~ There you are! Is Alto-kun doing okay?"
Arata's ears perked up at this.
'I'll ask him after the tour.'
"Y-Yeah. Alto-kun is doing just fine. How about the funds?"
"Let's just say we got 'em and leave it at that."
Mikuru noticed that Misato's face turned pale. She decided not to pry.
"So, who're the new kids?"
"I'll go in order of the cities they came from. First up is Heavenrend's students. The first is Ataro Hatsuyuki."
Misato walked up to Ataro and stared.
"It's like looking at a darker version of Kiro."
Mikuru flinched a bit.
"Misato-kun..."
"Not that it's a bad thing. It's just weird is all."
"Well, next is Ayano Kujikawa."
"Hey, why so down? You can tell me about it. I'll listen~"
"That's one of your admirable traits, Misato-kun."
"Yeah! I got Miku-chan to call me admirable~!"
"Next up is Arata Natari."
"The nurse, right? Nice to-"
The two locked eyes. They had similar, beaten down eyes.
'Is he... also abused...?'
"Misato-kun?"
Misato snapped out of his shock.
"I-I'm alright, Miku-chan..."
Backing up, Misato sent one last stare that said to meet him again. Arata nodded.
"Lastly from Heavenrend is Alexa Flarea."
Misato stared at her for a moment before getting down on one knee.
"M-Misato-kun?!"
"I can't help it, Miku-chan. Life is too short and this woman is too beautiful. I know we may not have known each other long, but will you marry me, Alexa Flarea?"
Alexa opened her mouth to quickly say no when Siren punched Misato against his head.
"Ow... I was just... kidding..."
"Maria, I was going to say no..."
"Yes, but that punch wouldn't have nearly been satisfying. Oh, and since I am capable of introducing myself, my name is Siren Yoshitake. Screw with my sister again, and I will kill you."
"I got it... I think I'm concussed..."
After a moment to collect himself, Misato stood up.
"A-Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah... Who's next?"
"Tsubaki Hayashi."
"Miku-chan? Why is Kiro in drag?"
"Misato-kun! She's a girl... Although the resemblance is uncanny. Same thing with Yoru Yurasaki and Kanoko."
"Eh, probably a coincidence."
"After them there's Misaki Aokigahara."
"Aokigahara? Wait, you don't think-"
"Only Aokigahara-kun can say for sure. Lastly is Amiya Domen."
"Now there's a familiar sight."
Amiya blushed and quickly looked away. Misato smiled gently.
"We can catch up later..."
"Y-Yeah..."
"S-So, let's get going!"
The students finally made it over to the classroom.
"Oh, fuck! I'm an idiot... I'm Misato Amane~"


Grace nodded at Skye's words.
"Do you need me to cast a relaxation spell to help you calm down?"

Alto sighed and started to head back to the others. Mikuru probably took care of the introducing of the student observers to the others like Amane, so he went straight to the room.
"Ah, you got the funds?"
"I, uh, yeah. E-Either way, please don't tell."
Kiro looked nervously at the passed out girl behind him.
"What happened to her?"
"I don't know, she just...passed out."
"By the way, Kiro-kun."
The boy stared at him.
"Yeah?"
"There was someone out there that had the same hoodie and jersey as you."
Kiro froze. Could it be?
"Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean there's someone out there that looks like me?"
"I mean exactly what I said."
Miraculously, Kanoko woke up from behind him.
"Hey, Kiro, do you think that could be..?"
"I don't know myself..."
The two stood up and immediately ran out the door, leaving a very confused Alto.
"What's with them?"




Ataro simply shrugged at Amane's words about him. On the other hand, Tsubaki was a little more surprised, so to say.
"Wait, they know those two?"
Sure, she and that certain anti-social had been friends when he still lived in Taketori. Hell, they got the same damn hoodie on purpose. People could easily mistake them for siblings rather than friends, but then again, Tsubaki bore more bandages on her when she was young. She sighed, shaking her head.
"Small world."

When they finally got there, it just so happened that two certain people were running outside. Ataro yawned again, and looked to the side- And suddenly he froze in his spot. Strangest hair color that he could possibly find?
"Wh--!?"
"Whoa--!"
The boy in front of him stopped. The girl with him looked at him, confused. The two stepped up to each other, glaring daggers.
"Cheat."
"Godmodder."
"Mr. Town Crier."
"Jobless hikiNEET."
The two glared at each other more before finally realizing.
"Reika!?"
"Soda!?"
What a miracle.
"Wait, so, I never really got your name and it would be weird if we called each other by our usernames here.."
"Well, I'm Ataro Hatsuyuki."
"Kiro Kanato."
On the sidelines, Kanoko pulled out her ringing phone and answered the call.
"S-Sei-chan! I just realized that my brother is there and--"
"I have it covered, Momoko. They're being complete idiots."




Skye shook his head.
"N-No, I just need rest, is all..."

Arata shut the medical ward door behind him. On the other side, Misato looked at his serious face with a small smile on his own.
"You know, if this were any other position, I'd think you were trying to seduce me, Mr. Natari."
Arata raised an eyebrow.
"But I'm not gay..."
"I know, I'm just teasing."
"Sorry... Being surrounded by people who don't know how to take a joke will kill ones sense of humor."
"Yeah, they look like sticks in the mud, huh?"
Arata opened a medical kit and started to treat Misato's head wound.
"So, how long has your dad been beating you?"
"You picked that up from our first meeting?"
"Well, it takes an abuse victim to know an abuse victim, you know? Besides, your eyes gave it away for me. They have that cloud of depression."
"Do they now? I'll have to fix that at some point."
"Still, your acting seems to be good. Those kids surrounding you have no idea, do they?"
"They need a therapist and I'm the closest to normal that they have..."
"Heh, I believe that. Hey, not so much on the alcohol!"
"If you wouldn't move around so much, this would be going easier."
"Sitting still just doesn't work for me. Still, you didn't answer my question."
"Since I was ten..."
"Damn... Anyone else in your family abused?"
"My mother left before he could get to her. I had a little sister but..."
Misato winced. He couldn't imagine what would've happened if Misano had gotten killed.
"Sorry..."
"It happened three years ago... What about you?"
"I have a little sis too. Still alive but she had her voice taken by that bastard."
"I'm sorry for your sister..."
"So am I. You have no idea..."
The two were silent as Arata finished patching up Misato.
"Would you tell me a bit about Mr. Skyefield, Misato?"
"You mean your new best friend? He has some condition that causes him pains in his chest so he may be visiting you a lot. If he isn't your best friend by then, I don't know what will convince you, man."
Arata chuckled a bit at Misato's jokes.
"I don't know... So far you're coming close to being my best friend."
"Heh, I appreciate it~"
"We'd better get going then... I heard something about an audition from Miss Takano. She needs to speak up."
"She's just shy is all."
"I wonder why."
"You know, I've been asking that question for years now and I've yet to break down her walls. But yeah, the play is coming up soon. In like 3 weeks... It's for Culture Fest and we're doing Romeo and Juliet with some intermissions."
"Sounds like fun."
"You gonna audition?"
"Maybe... Depends on the scenes."
"Yeah, I get it. Well, let's get going."

Siren and Alexa sat alone in the hallway of the school. Even though Siren had insisted on being left alone, Alexa wouldn’t leave her sister alone again.
”You really are persistent, human. Are you aware of that?”
”I was more well known for being daring, anyway. I’m not going to lose my sister again or anyone that I love for that matter. I won’t lose to Eradicator
”
”It’s almost funny in a sense. The first time I meet you, you were in a male body and your eyes were much more somber. Now you’re in a female body and determined to put a stop to everything. Still, what makes you so certain that I even am this Maria Flarea?”
Alexa smiled sadly at Maria.
”I think I have the capacity to know who my sister is and what she looks like.”
”Still, I remember absolutely nothing about you.”
”Then let me tell you the story about Maria Flarea.”
Siren was silent and stared at the girl.
”Once, there was a boy and a girl. They would play together all the time during their childhood years. They continued to be friends even through high school and college. One day, the boy got down on one knee and asked the girl to be his forever. She said yes and married the following day. They lived happy lives. One day, the girl gave birth to twin girls of her own. They were named Alexa and Maria. The father was concerned for their safety, as was their mother. They’ve seen the horrors of the outside world and they don’t want their princesses to get involved. So, they raised them from home only. The twins were content with playing games with each other. Everyone was happy
 Until Alexa began to see an imaginary friend named Atticus.”
Siren suddenly got a headache.
”Atticus
”
”You okay?”
”That name sounds
 familiar
 Keep going, human.”
Alexa seemed a bit reluctant but continued her story anyway.
”At first
 Atticus was nice. He had no memories and he was very shy, but he was very nice to Alexa. The two would play together all the time. But
 Atticus noticed that Alexa’s time would always lead back to her beloved sister, Maria. And he grew to resent Maria very much
 One time, Alexa could see Atticus try to drown Maria in a pond. But, the funny thing was that no one ever saw Atticus and Alexa together. No one knew it at first, but Atticus ended up being a split personality of Alexa. One day, Atticus snapped. He felt that Alexa should belong to him and only him, so
 he set the house on fire, killing everyone except for Alexa
 and he now goes by the name Eradicator Sins.”
Siren frowned.
”What you described all sounds incredibly familiar
 But, I can’t possibly believe it until I remember it for myself. You have to understand, human.”
”I understand- N-Nngh!!!”
”Alexa? Hey, Alexa!”
”That’s impossible
 You’re dead! I killed you!”
Eradicator then pinned Siren against the glass window. His eyes narrowed into daggers as he glared at Siren.
”This is all some sort of trick, isn’t it?! By that Hatsuyuki bastard! “I’ll take on that bastard Eradicator any day”, huh?! Well, I’ll gladly give that insomniac a grim reminder. You tell him this, you bitch. Hatsuyuki can take care of his family any time he wants. I don’t care about them. But Alexa’s mind, body, soul, heart, all of her
 is mine. Alexa is mine and I will not share her with him or anyone else! And if you get any funny ideas, I will- D-Dammit
”
Alexa quickly switched back and let go of Siren.
”I take it you met Eradicator
”
”Yeah
 He wasn’t too happy to see me or to hear about Hatsuyuki.”
”I’m sorry
 But, he’s quite possessive as you could tell.”
Siren could only nod, a tiny bit afraid of the pure rage in Eradicator’s eyes.
”But I’m not about to let him hurt those I care about anymore. I promise, Maria.”


Grace nodded.
"Get some rest then. I'll wake you once we're needed."
Grace saw the data screen after Skye fell asleep.
'So, I'm a Specialist, hm? Specialist of what? Probably of magic... Skye being the Master Sargent does not surprise me in the slightest though. All the other positions on the screen seem natural as well...'
Grace nodded, waiting for any orders while the pod drove her and Skye away to their first mission.

"Whoa, that kinda sucks, doesn't it?"
"Yeah. Plus, my sister loves pissing me off. The bad thing is, I can't bring myself to completely hate her."
Ataro sighed as he sipped at his soda. Kiro shrugged.
"The same goes for me, I guess. You saw the girl with me, right?"
"Don't tell me that's your girlfriend."
"Hell to the no! We're like you and your sister, you know."
"Good, I thought you broke the pact we made. We vowed to get girlfriends at the same time, right?"
"Yeah, I never break my promises."
The green-haired male looked away, sighing.
"Or do I?"
"I'm taking it we're both pathetic."
"I..guess."




Yoru and Tsubaki had went off on their own ways. Yoru didn't exactly say where he was going- Probably to the theater. Tsubaki sighed and walked over to the school garden to have some time alone, only to encounter someone familiar.
"Hey, what're you doing here?"
Turning around, she saw her old friend.
"I wanted some time away from society. Why?"
"Funny. I'm here for that too."
"Wow, and I thought you'd stick to Kiro all the time. It's why you left Taketori, after all."
She saw the girl wince.
"What, didn't think I remember Ms. Deceiver?"
"Ow, you got me there."
The two sat under a tree, casually talking.
"How are things going back at Taketori?"
"We've been given some time off. We're supposed to be doing a thesis on the so called Spirit Dancer. Aside from that, not much. Still remains practically the same. What about you guys in Heavenrend?"
"Well, Heavenrend is one hell of a depressing city. It looks really cool during the night, though."
Tsubaki winced at this.
"You still go out for midnight strolls?"
"Hey, nothing's happened to me yet, so it's alright--Hey!"
Tsubaki reached over and pulled up her sleeve, revealing a cut on her shoulder.
"Liar."
"Just a scratch, nothing more."
"You know you'd worry Kiro even if it's one. Last time you went out in Taketori, he took a bullet to the leg."
"He did?"
"You passed out before it happened, so of course you didn't see it."
"The bastard didn't tell me..."
"He doesn't want to worry you. That's why he went to this forsaken place."
Kanoko shrugged, letting herself fall over and fell directly into Tsubaki's lap.
"Hey!"
"Haya-chan, you haven't changed much in years..."




Yoru was somewhere else. Not the theater, but he sat in an alleyway away from the school, leaning on the wall heavily. He thought of his family again, then shoved the thought out.
"No, Yurasaki. You can't succumb to that yet."
He wasn't called the Spirit Dancer for nothing. No, he wasn't going to leave this place yet.




Skye, instead of falling asleep lying down leaned against a wall instead and went to sleep there.

Basileus was called for the armor again, and this time he was to test out the new guns. He was hearing lots of bullets in the other training room, so he went for the automaton's shooting range instead.
"Gee, girls are scary."

"You sure you don't want to go looking for him?"
"N-no, I-I think I'll just stay here."
Ayano had offered to accompany Misaki around Crescent to find her brother. She already met him yesterday so she reckoned he wouldn't be too hard to find. Misaki was still too shy though. She wasn't scared of seeing her brother again rather, she was scared at the idea of looking like a complete fish out of water in the entire school.
"Well, I'll head outside for a while to check some booths. I saw some that are already offering samples."
"Aahh, c-can you bring m-me some m-melon bread while y-you're at it?"
"Sure."
With that, Ayano left the room. Misaki now stood alone inside the classroom she was assigned in. The place was rather empty though. The only person inside were a foreign-looking girl, calculating some funds, and a bunch of guys. She didn't feel like talking much so she simply stayed quiet on one side.
"M-maybe I should have gone with Ayano-chan..."
She sighed, wondering about her indecisiveness. Just then, a friendly looking girl on a wheelchair came in. She gently approached her.
"Ara! Are you one of our observers from Taketori? It's rather easy to tell from your uniform."
"Y-yes! I'm M-Misaki. Aokigahara Misaki. N-Nice to m-meet you!"
Misaki bowed and introduced herself shyly. Setsuna saw this and just laughed.
"So you think you're out of place? Well, just look at me. Not only am I not from this school but I'm also disabled as you can see. Don't worry, no one here will hurt you. I even managed to make a bunch of friends here. Like Ciel-chan. Hey!"
Setsuna called Ciel over and introduced Misaki to her. The two girls exchanged handshakes and soon, they had a short conversation.
"Aokigahara eh? You wouldn't possibly be related to Misato Aokigahara aren't you?"
"I think so as well. Your eyes match his if not 3.45% lighter in shade."
"Ehehehe...I really am. I'm his y-younger s-sister."
"He mentioned about one. Makes sense. You live in different cities huh?"
"Y-yeah..."
"Well, he'll probably be coming around soon so let's just wait for him, kay?"



As Ayano was walking out on the grounds, looking for the stall she saw, she overheard a commotion.
"Please, for the hundredth time miss, at least pay for it!"
"But it was just out in the open. Of course I'll take it!"
"No no! You have to reimburse the person who made that meat bun!"
"Eh? Where I come from, food during festivals are free. Tch, here."
"Which country are you from anyway?"
It seems the argument was due to the fact that this eccentric looking woman just took a meat bun from the stalls without paying for it. She gave in and forked out some cash and walked away but--
"Ah! Miss! You overpaid! You forgot your--"
"AAAAHHH!!! Would you shut it?! I gave you the money, so leave me and my meat bun alone!"
"But we might get into trouble..."
The student clerk couldn't do anything else. The woman was out of sight by then as she merged with the crowd.
"Teacher might accuse us of overpricing for this..."
Ayano now moved to the stall and asked for a meat bun. The clerk brightened up and even made her a weird offer.
"Perfect timing! Here! Take four of them for free! No charge! That woman's cash will compensate for it!"
Before she knew it, Ayano had just received four free meat buns. She understands the reason why he did that though. All activities are monitored so the earnings of each booth is supposed to be parallel to the commodities they sell. Still, the timing was too perfect.
"Weird. I think I'll check my horoscope. It might be my lucky day."



Elsewhere, at the house of a well known yakuza member, someone had broken in and was rummaging through some stuff hidden within the house.
"There should be the ones with the length I need..."
Aoi closed the small crate she opened. She looked around some more cabinets and drawers and found nothing. In annoyance, she hit the wall and remembered something.
"If he regards it the same way we did back then---"
She went to a small altar with the Buddha's image in the center. On a wall above it, held by protrusions that look like arms, are two medium length katanas.
"Perfect..."
She bowed down as respect to the deity and uttered as short prayer of permission to take the blades. After that, she took it and hightailed it out of there. As she perched on a tree, she checked the blades out.
"I'll need to step up my game. Things are getting a bit more dangerous."
She remembered the guy who attacked Tsubaki. He was strong, strong enough to fight her off. Ever since that incident at the theater, she somehow formed a connection with the group's leader. She can sense whenever she's in grave danger now.
"I also haven't heard from Yoru nor Siren for two days now. Wonder what's up? Anyway, I need to lie low for a while."

"Still think you can get away huh?"
Kanzaki and Chloe had been at it for almost half an hour now. Kanzaki had just activated Pathfinder Mode and is now trying to gun down Chloe. Four minutes have already passed so Kanzaki knew she had to finish this now. She was using her Titanium Spear's rapid fire plasma blasts but hadn't had any luck so far in hitting her opponent.
"I'm not running away though..."
Kanzaki followed Chloe into a dark corridor. She saw Chloe's thrusters head left so she followed her as well. She saw that it led to another open area.
"Wrong move Chloe. This is my terrain!"
Emerging from the corridor, Kanzaki was quickly greeted by a torrent of shots from Chloe's MP5s. Since she's in pathfinder mode, the bullets weren't really doing any damage so she just staved it off with her scales and took the High-Wave Cannon in the other hand.
"This cannon is much stronger now. Goodbye..."
She flanked Chloe first by unleashing the rapid-fire to make her dodge into the direction she needs Chloe to head to, to which she did. Aiming her cannon, she fired a shot. Unlike the earlier flame sphere, this one was more of a plasma beam now. Chloe managed to dodge by heading upwards, but the stream generated by the shot damaged one of her thrusters.
"Tch!"
Chloe retreated back into the corridor she came in. Feeling triumphant, Kanzaki also followed to finish her off. Since it was a straight corridor, she knew Chloe will no longer be able to dodge another shot. She headed inside at full speed and was surprised when Chloe turned back to face her.
Boom!
Withing seconds after she entered, violent explosions from around the walls rocked Kanzaki violently. She wondered what it was then finally realized.
"She dumped all of her remote controlled grenades in this area! I probably wasn't able to see it because of her damn speed spell! She lured me into her trap!"
As the last of the explosions died down, she was quickly shot by Chloe multiple times using her M60 machine gun. There was no point in struggling further; Kanzaki was defeated.



"Like I said, it was a bad idea..."
"Go ahead... rub lemon on my wounds if you like..."
The two combatants sat on a bench outside the training area. Chloe was drinking some sort of energy drink after that intense simulation. Kanzaki on the other hand, was all hunched over and was on the verge of breaking down.
"Oi, no need to feel too bad. I was rather amazed by your cannon. It was strong enough to even damage a thruster, haha!"
"Aaahhh!!! I hate you! I really really hate you! Ughhh!!!"
"Oi! Don't cry, you're making me feel bad. Besides, you made me miss my chance at the hot springs!"
Chloe calmed down after that outburst. Beside her, Kanzaki continued crying comedically.
"It says that there is another session later evening. Want to come?"
"Huh?"
"Want to come? I'll even wash your back if you want."
"O-okay..."
Kanzaki felt a bit embarrassed at the offer. Still, she lost, so she wasn't in any position to refuse.



They reported for work the next day. They were assigned to accompany a group of drillers at the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. Their mission is to establish some sort of foundation for an advance base in the rest of the neutral grounds. Kanzaki and Chloe were assigned to that unit so as to emphasize that it was a joint operation between all the factions. They boarded a standard issue, Izumo transport ship known as the Osiris. It was a simple carrier, so they couldn't bring their Breakers along.

As soon as they left, Iruga addressed the members of the Guard Division, including Basileus.
"Our division is to remain here and keep a close watch on the coast as we wait for news from the Primary Assault Division. The Secondary Assault Division is to remain here as well as back-up in case something goes bad."
Skye and Grace were in the Secondary Assault Division. Chloe and Kanzaki were at the First while Iruga and Basileus were part of the Guard Division. A member raised a question.
"But sir, we're not fully equipped to wage naval battles with hand-held weapons yet. How are we supposed to push back enemy ships?"
"Additional parts will be provided for our heavy hitters like the dragons and automatons. Aside from that, thanks to the cooperation of the Order and Schwarze's mechanics, we managed to finish them on time."
The large hangar doors behind Iruga then opened. Through the pitch-black darkness, they could make out several pairs of blue and green eyes staring blankly in the distance.
"They'll be bulking up our own army to take on Architect, should worst come to worst. Basileus, you're in charge of a squadron of them, you lucky bastard."

Amiya and Mikuru still sat alone in the empty theatre.
"Hey, Miku-chan? Do you still want to be a marine biologist?"
"Y-Yeah... I haven't g-given that up y-yet..."
"Good. I was a bit worried you had. Whenever I see you around the ocean, you get this spark."
"S-Spark...?"
"Yeah~ It's a spark where your entire world just lights up. You get so absorbed in the ocean life and it's really cute~"
"I-I'll take your w-word for it..."
"Seriously, where is everyone? Aren't the auditions about to start in 10 minutes?"
"P-Probably not..."
"What makes you say that?"
"M-Mr. Kenichi w-will probably s-stay up in his r-room for a l-long time to f-fix his f-fish collection..."
"How long does that take?"
"A-An hour to t-two hours..."
"That's not fair! Well then, we'll just have to do the auditions with student judges then~"
"A-Are you sure, Amiya-chan?"
"Yep~ Besides, I'm sure everyone will have a majority vote so we can decide who gets what part there~"
"T-That's if everyone s-shows up..."
"They'll show. They gotta show... right?"
Amiya was a bit worried. Mikuru noticed and held her hand gently.
"I'm h-here..."
"Yeah... Thanks..."
Amiya sent a smile down to Mikuru.


"Come on, man! We're going to be late!!"
"None of this would of happened if you had just held still in the medical ward."
"It's not my fault that I can't hold still."
"Yes it is. Ah, Miss Alexa."
Arata stopped his running when he saw that Alexa and Siren were talking amongst each other in the hallway.
"What are you two discussing?"
Alexa looked up to see Arata looking at her.
"Oh, Arata... I wanted to get Maria to remember something so I told her the story of who she was."
"Has it panned out, Miss Maria?"
"No."
"I see... I'm sorry for that."
"It isn't your fault, human. Don't blame yourself."
The whole situation made Siren feel sick. She hated interacting with these humans and all she wanted was to get out. Still, she couldn't just leave Alexa and Kujikawa by themselves. More Grudges could follow them. Sighing, she looked out a window.
"This is what school life is like, eh?"
Arata looked over at Alexa.
"Miss Alexa... I need you to keep Eradicator out of this environment, okay?"
"So, you figured it out too?"
"Yes. Miss Amiya knows as well and possibly Miss Ayano. It isn't that I don't trust you... I don't trust him."
"That's understandable. But, I swore to myself that I would try harder to keep Eradicator away. Heh, I even sewed this outfit and cut and dyed my hair to prove this."
"If it's any consolation, Eradicator only took over for a few seconds to say something before Alexa came back."
"That's a lot better than him taking over for minutes at a time."
"I already told Maria. I'm not going to let him hurt anyone I love ever again."
"This includes Mr. Ataro, right?"
A small teasing smile crossed his features as Alexa nodded, unaware that he was teasing her. Misato shouted out to his friend, having been separated.
"Oi! Arata! We need to hurry over to the theatre!"
"Yeah, I'll catch up! Come on, Miss Siren, Miss Alexa."
Alexa nodded as she and Arata ran to keep up with Misato. Siren lingered behind for a bit, sighing.
"Stupid humans..."
Siren then teleported over to the theatre where Amiya and Mikuru were already waiting. Misato, Arata and Alexa appeared shortly after that. The six decided to hang around inside the theatre, waiting for everyone else to arrive.

Kiro looked at the clock.
"Oh, damn. We gotta get to the theatre."
"Do we? Alright then."
The two stood up, walking away and heading for the theatre. On the way they passed an alley and--
"Oi, you're one of those guys outside, right?"
Yoru looked up at them, then groaned, straightening himself.
"Yeah, so?"
This man slightly irritated Kiro. It was almost like Kanoko turned into a guy.
"Calm down there, mate. If you're with them, you come with us, right now."
Yoru shrugged off Ataro's statement.
"Try me."
The two looked at each other.

--later--

"What the hell!? Lemme go!"
The two dragged Yoru away, continuing their trudge towards the theatre- All the while lugging a squirming boy behind them.




"Falling asleep on my lap like that after saying that I never change. She didn't change at all, too."
Tsubaki murmured under her breath as she carried a sleeping Kanoko on her back. As she looked up, though, she saw the black-haired man from a while ago along with Kiro, and...Yoru?
"You idiot! What the hell did you get yourself into!?"
She snapped at Yoru.
"I don't know!!!"
"It looks like you know him, Tsubaki."
Kiro spoke, his gaze shifting to the girl on her back.
"You mind exchanging, Kanato? She's yours, after all."
"Yeah, sure. Hold him down, Ataro."
Ataro held Yoru down as Tsubaki passed on her own luggage to the other, grabbing Yoru's arm and jerking him up. The boy groaned. She stretched out his arm, pressing on his shoulder a little before letting go. She kept a tight grip on the back of his neck as he rubbed his arm.
"Wow, thanks, Tsubaki. That actually helped."
"Be grateful."
She turned to Kiro, smirking at the boy.
"I knew I was right when I said that you guys will end up together."
"Wha--! Where the hell is that coming from, Hayashi?"
"Well you are carrying her like a knight rescuing his princess..."
"Tsubaki has a point."
Yoru grinned, still rubbing his arm.
"By the way, I'm Yoru Yurasaki."
"Kiro Kanato. And this idiot here is Kanoko Sei."
"Ataro Hatsuyuki."
Ataro shrugged. He was trailing behind Tsubaki, anyway.
"Back on track, Kiro-san, Tsubaki-chan does have a point. You look like a couple straight out of a fairytale."
He looked to the sky.
"Man, if I were a girl I wish Tsubaki-chan would carry me like that-- YEOOOW!!!"
Tsubaki let go of his neck and jabbed him in the side, then grabbed him by the neck again.
"Shut up, idiot."
"What the heck's wrong with carrying someone you've been with in life bridal style? I just don't want her to wake up, is all."
"That's already a giveaway, Kiro."
"Guys, shut up already. Besides, Kanoko might wake up with all the noise and you know her when she's...newly awakened, so to say."
Tsubaki and Kiro shuddered at this. Ataro and Yoru just looked at each other and shrugged, finally making it into the theatre. As they entered, Kiro's normally straight face turned into one that just said, "Don't ask."




Alto smiled as Setsuna, Ciel and the timid-looking girl from outside talked.
"You all seem to be getting along."
He spoke gently, as to not frighten anyone. Sometimes, if it weren't for his eyes and voice, people would have ran off because of his height.




Basileus listened to Iruga, his head tilted back a little lazily though he was paying all his attention to his mentor's words. At hearing his name, he could see the various pairs of eyes behind Iruga.
"Sweet, I get my own squadron? Thanks, Iruga-sensei."
He bowed in respect, a slight smirk making it onto his face.
"Take that, Advent! Ha!"
He thought.

When everyone made it to the theatre, Mikuru looked around to try and find Mr. Kenichi.
"He's not h-here..."
"Then do what we talked about, Miku-chan."
"A-Are you sure?"
"Yep~ It's a student event, right? So we, the students, should judge who is talented enough to be on the stage."
"O-Okay..."
Amiya helped Mikuru up on stage and managed to get everyone's attention. Mikuru cleared her throat and held onto Amiya's hand.
"I... I hope everyone is enjoying themselves at Crescent so far. We may not be much, but we'll do our best to make you as comfortable as possible... Now, since all of us are in the same group and we have sufficient funds, it's time to hold auditions. Our group is performing an abridged version of Romeo and Juliet. We'll only be doing three scenes; the fight with Mercutio and Tybalt, the balcony scene and the last scene of the play. In between these scenes will be intermissions with people singing onstage whatever song they feel like. Though, please keep vulgarity to a minimum... It would be unfair if no one got to audition so everyone must audition for at least one part; either one of the roles in the play or sing the first verse and chorus of your favorite song. Good luck to all of you..."
Even though Mikuru said her peace without her stutter, she was still shaking as was her voice. Amiya flashed Mikuru a supporting smile. As the two walked off stage, the moment Mikuru stepped on the ground, she collapsed. Arata rushed over to her.
"Miss Amiya, is it bad? Does she have any history of bad health?!"
"No... She just got too nervous. This happened back when she was younger too. Every time something would get too stressful, she would faint."
"I see... Mr. Alto, would you watch over Miss Mikuru? If something does turn out to be serious, I think you would be good at calming her down."
Arata placed the unconscious Mikuru in a seat beside Alto. Amiya looked worried for her friend but went back on stage.
"So, who wants to go first~?"
No one answered. Amiya pouted.
"Seriously? No one? Fine, I guess I'll go first then~"
Searching through her phone, she eventually found her song and put the instrumental on full blast.
"Beat box and the rhythm flies
Over night the city seems to mirror back
Beat two and the concrete shines
Is it fine if I complain just a tiny bit?
Hey, up for a little talk?
Got a tendancy to hurt from little things
Ah, mind if we walk and talk?
Cuz I'm bored,
I'll tell a story
You'll laugh I guarantee
. . .
Now
Back to our little tale
It began in a strange land
Like any tale
Oh but, and now this is strange
It'd seemed as if it were like any place
Ten years
And the minutes fly
From the day the monster spoke inside of me
Dug deeper into my mind
"Keep on lying" said the monster anyway
So I've lied and I've been tricking ever since
No, not a single person out there can see what sits behind
Just a monster by now, can't deny that it fits
"Oh wait, my bad!
Don't get mad!
You know I'm just a liar in the end?"
Oh my god
You're underhanded!
Where's the trick, don't have a clue?
Hope you don't mind
That I don't mind
Is it now scaring you too?
As I lie
And pass 'em by
I feel they're growing in my mind
Again today,
I'll smile at all the little pieces in the game"

Amiya shut off the phone after that.
"That's how singing auditions will go. Alright, who's next~?"
Siren merely sat staring, wondering how to get out of this situation. Arata looked over his song list while Misato glanced over at Mikuru worriedly. Alexa just looked to the floor, deciding that she would go after Siren went. Mikuru was still knocked out... Poor thing.

“This isn’t looking good
”
The Primary Assault Division had encountered a sever problem at the Gobi Desert. Architect forces have ambushed them, outnumbering them at five to one. Their remaining forces gathered at the site of the advance base establishment. Right now, Chloe and Kanzaki stood together as they waited for the incoming enemy force.
“Kanzaki, you and the others go ahead. I’ll hold them off here.”
“Are you crazy?!”
“I will need to buy time for the rest of you to escape. Otherwise, they might catch up to you in no time. Get to the nearest oasis and send a transmission back to Izumo. Tell them to airlift us out of here.”
Kanzaki took a deep breath as their comrade’s escape trailer arrived on the scene. She boarded on the roof so she can operate the cannon’s there. She glanced back at Chloe before leaving.
“You said us, Schwarze attack dog. You better hold on to that promise.”
With that said, the trailer drove away. Chloe now faced an entire squadron of Medians that was heading their way.
“Architect. Things aren’t going to go your way.”
She charged at them, unleashing the full fury of all her weapons.



“We—outnumbered--- Chloe---missing---need----lift----
..”
“The transmission was sent two days ago. As part of your job as the Secondary Assault Division, you are to rescue the stranded Primary Assault Division at the sands of the Gobi Desert. I know that it has already been two days but---“
Iruga was immediately cut off by the arrival of the Order’s military head. He took to the center of the platform and addressed the squadron.
“We have no time to waste in rescuing them right now. Architect’s naval forces are on the move in the sea, headed this way. We have to concentrate a large number of our forces at the coast to repel this threat. We just don’t have the time nor manpower to rescue them.”
At that moment, the young knight Advent stood up.
“We could send in a small rescue team to check. That way, we won’t compromise such a large portion of our fighting strength—“
“Colonel Kamishiro, how long has it been since the transmission?”
“Two days. We just managed to decode it now.”
“Then there is no point. Those survivors may have already been compromised by now.”
The magus Grace Aralis also stood up.
“But, we can’t be sure unless we check. I’ve seen how Chloe fights, and Ms. Tachibana is very strong too. I refuse to believe that they’re gone.”
At that statement, the Order’s Knight Master presented to them a video showing a deformed Chloe, attacking a team of knights under the Order.
Image

“As you can see, Lieutenant Victoria has been taken by the enemy. Judging by its strength and firepower, Lieutenant Tachibana is most likely compromised as well.”
“But--!”
“Enough. We are going to concentrate all of our forces at the coast to repel the incoming attack. You are dismissed.”
After the dismissal, Skye approached Iruga.
“Sensei, surely you don’t agree with abandoning our comrades at the desert?”
“My thoughts on the matter aren’t relevant. The Order’s decision is supported by the Council as well.”
Grace also approached Iruga as well.
“But what about Ms. Mercenary? What about Kanzaki? Are we really just gonna leave them behind?”
“Seems that way.”
“I don’t agree with this. It’s just a small force consisting of maybe ten to twenty people. Why are they so reluctant to carry out a rescue?”
“Beats me. I’ve been wondering about that as well.”
Iruga turned to walk away but glanced back at the couple.
“If I can, I’d go out there and rescue them myself. I’m sorry. There is nothing more that I can do.”

Later that evening, Iruga met with Chihaya on her meeting room.
“The Order’s not willing to send a rescue squadron huh? Why do I get the feeling that something is not right here?”
Chihaya asked as Iruga walked to the window. He glanced down at the quiet grounds of their base below.
“Who knows? Maybe it’s an attempt to get rid of the two emissaries in one go. The Vatican – Order alliance isn’t too fond of Schwarze. Maybe they thought it best to find a way to kill off one of Schwarze’s sharpest fang without staining their hands. Then, Schwarze would have no representative to offer the new cooperative.”
“But to abandon even Kanzaki? Wasn’t she from the Vatican?”
“She sided with Schwarze remember? Maybe they want to replace her with someone more hostile towards Schwarze.”
Chihaya sighed at this development. If Iruga’s theory is true, then it is saddening to know that even with the new cooperative, the rivalries between factions still run strong.
“What if we see Chloe on the battlefield? Would--?”
“I doubt that Grace could find the strength to kill her. She holds on too tight. Skye Advent maybe but, it’s gonna be hard to get him up close. To save the two the trouble of having to kill someone they consider as a friend—“
Chihaya looked at Iruga in the eyes. She knew what he was going to say next.
“If worst comes to worst, then I’ll pull the trigger myself.”
Chihaya stood up and placed a gentle hand on the dark angel’s shoulder.
“Hard isn’t it? Having to live here, taking orders from mere humans like us.”
“In this world, one’s rank is more important than one’s race.”
Iruga left the room shortly and rode the elevator down to the main hangar. He recalled the time that he spent talking with those two girls here.
“I guess, I won’t be able to maintain that promise huh?”



In the meantime, the band of stragglers tried their best to re-establish contact with Izumo’s main branch. They set up a large transmitter and managed to establish contact with them.
“Ms. Kanzaki! We’re live so go ahead! They might track us using our frequency so we have to move fast.”
“Alright. Give me a few minutes.”
Kanzaki waited for someone to pick up the call. They didn’t know where they transmitted to but she just prays that someone picks up.

Back at the hangar

Grace had snuck out of her quarters and headed into the main hangar. She eyed the high-speed fighter carrier known as the Orion. She quietly made her way to it, careful as not to be detected.
“What are you doing?”
She turned at the sound of the voice. She saw Skye emerge from the shadows and walked towards her.
“Skye, I just don’t agree with all of this. If they don’t want to go there, then I’ll rescue them myself.”
"By yourself? Can you even fly that thing?”
“Well—“
“I’ll go too.”
“But Skye! If the others see that you’re gone, the whole plan might not go well. They need you here more.”
Skye placed a reassuring hand on Grace’s shoulder. He looked at her in the eye and smiled.
“Have you forgotten? I’m your partner and your knight. My first obligation is to you.”
“Skye
”
They boarded the plane and was greeted by surprise from Iruga, who was already on the cockpit.
“What took you so long?”
“Sensei, we’re going to go there ourselves. I don’t care if we disobey orders or not—“
“Shhh! Be quiet for a bit.”
Iruga shushed the two as the machine’s radio managed to pick up a signal.
“Is anyone there?”
“Kanzaki, what’s your status?”
“Oh, thank God someone picked up. We’re kind of in a tight spot right now. Architect managed to capture us but, I managed to smuggle this micro-transmitter with me.”
“Where are you now?”
“I’m in some sort of plane right now. They’re transporting us to a larger carrier tomorrow at 1000 hours. The meet up will happen somewhere in the Pacific.”
“Activate the option for your transmitter to send in your coordinates in real time. We’ll come and get you.”
“All right. Iruga-san? Chloe is—“
“I’m well aware of her condition right now.”
“I’m sorry. If only I—“
“It’s not your fault. You don’t have to do anything else. I’ll end her suffering myself if need be.”
“
.got it.”
“Keep this channel open.”
Iruga turned to face Skye and gave the instructions.
“Well, it seems we’re going on a trip.”

“So you’re gonna come help us?”
“Hmm... I don’t really like taking Orders from lesser beings like that knight. Besides, even if we are a cooperative, Izumo still has its own sovereignty.”
Iruga took a good look around the Orion.
“We are lacking in weapons. Advent, you come with me to the armaments room. Let’s weaponize this thing. Aralis, you stay here in the meantime.”
The two alighted from the Orion and went out. As soon as Grace was alone in the carrier, Kanzaki continued her transmission.
“Ms. Aralis
”
“Yes?”
“About Chloe
 she can still be saved.”
“She can?”
“I may be able to establish some sort of psychic contact with her. Architect is using psy-energy to keep their hold on her. I can get in, but I may not be able to get out. Not without external help anyway. You’re a magus so, will you hear me out?”
“I’m listening.”
“I need you to expel a mana field around the same time that your craft is closest to ours. I will be able to use that distortion done by the opposite energy to find a way back into our consciousness. It’s just a mana field, it won’t affect your spell counters in any way.”
“Okay, I’ll do it.”
“All right. Why don’t we head to the hot springs once we’re done?”



As Iruga and Skye opened the armaments container, they saw some soldiers from the Guard Division.
“What are you doing here?”
“Well, we overheard those two talking so, we thought that we want to help out.”
“You’ll be punished for this, you know?”
“Like he said earlier, on our side, our allegiance is to you, Colonel. Not to those Order brats.”
“Then let’s load this thing up so we can be back before the operation starts.”
“Sir, yes sir!”



Keeping her transmitter open, Kanzaki was toured around the large ship that currently houses all of them. It was owned by TSL and she was being led around by the same woman who gave Chloe her mission to capture Grace.
“So? Why are you showing me all of this?”
“It’s to familiarize you with out craft. Besides, I plan on making you a Median myself, like your friend there.”
She pointed to a stasis cell that contained Chloe inside. Kanzaki leaned in closer and called out.
“Chloe! Can you hear me? It’s me, Kanzaki!”
“There is no point. Right now, your friend is just a shell, operating under my command. Her consciousness is sealed away somewhere. I don’t believe that it’s coming back soon.”
“What do you think you’ll accomplish?”
“The factions have turned a blind eye to us for the longest time. I hate the way they neglected all non-member nations in their formation. We just want what’s ours back.”
“It’s your fault since you didn’t offer your aid to them.”
“What did you say?!”
“Truth hurts doesn’t it? Did you really think that they would induct you seeing as how you chose to turn a blind eye to the entire Faction War? Why would they help you, when you didn’t even help them?”
“Take that girl back to her cell! I’d like to see you try to talk back to me, after I’m done with you!”
Kanzaki was thrown back into her cell. She wondered if Iruga and the others will arrive on time.

The day of the transfer. Kanzaki was escorted out of the main carrier plane unto a sort of small flying mechanism, guarded by Chloe. She wasn’t cuffed in any way since Chloe was the one guarding her. They rose into the air until the primary transport plane was gone.
“Don’t move. Your distortion field is currently shut down. There’s no way to take out your weapons.”
“Chloe! It’s me Kanzaki! Don’t you remember?”
“I don’t know who you are
”
“Oh don’t be like that! Just because you beat me back at that simulation battle doesn’t mean that you can just ignore me like that.”
“I—beat you?”
“Remember who you are. You are very fast and strong. You can be a bit annoying at times and your sarcasm really gets to my nerves—“
“Chloe! Do not listen to her in any way. She’s the enemy. All her words are just meant to confuse you.”
“Roger.”
The transmission from that woman ended at that point. Chloe started to pay no mind to whatever Kanzaki said.
“Tch! Come on, where are you guys?”
She saw the large Architect carrier looming in the distance. They would be arriving any minute now. Some of the crafts carrying her teammates were already entering the carrier. A large rumbling noise caught her attention. The clouds below cleared up as the Orion emerged from below. Advent rose up from the roof on the platform, handling a large tracer gun. Some soldiers also dangled from the sides to operate the machine guns. Soon, they started shooting, taking care not to damage the thrusters or the main bridge of the carrier. Flight-enabled Medians descended down to intercept their small group. Inside, Iruga gave the instructions.
“I’m gonna board it now. Try to maintain your altitude until I can get everyone out. Got it?”
“Sir, yes sir!”
Iruga flew out from the Orion and into the large Architect carrier. Chloe saw this as it all happened and aimed one of her cannons at him to take him down. Suddeny, she had a backlash as she recalled her memory with him.
“I won’t let you fight each other!”
She was surprised as Kanzaki struggled against her on their craft. Kanzaki managed to utilize her strength to struggle back despite Chloe’s enhancements. She jumped off and caught a flying median, taking his flight module. Chloe’s attention shifted from Iruga to Kanzaki as she attempted to gun her down. They fought against each other in the sky, with Kanzaki doing her best to avoid getting shot since she doesn’t have any weapons. She dodged an incoming plasma blast and retreated near the side of the Orion.
“Lieutenant! Catch!”
Skye threw an extra beam saber for Kanzaki to catch. She took it and engaged Chloe in close range combat as they continued flying over the skies of the Pacific.

Inside, Iruga attacked the remaining forces inside as he let the prisoners off. They took the remaining flight modules and descended from the craft. Iruga opted to stay behind for last as he guarded the escaping members. As he was about to head out, some gunshots sent him ducking into a wall where he returned fire with a regular rifle.
“Iruga Kamishiro. What do you plan on accomplishing with this heist of yours?”
The woman’s voice resounded from the speakers of the carrier. Iruga answered back.
“I’m rescuing my comrades obviously. I have no intention to give them up to you.”
“As if that would happen. The mercenary Chloe is under my supreme command right now.”
“What did you do with her?”
“I set her free. Free from all her other troubles. She has quite the potential see? It’s a shame that she just remains a hired gun when she can be used for something grander.”
“What?”
“I simply tapped into that hidden potential within her. The potential to be a powerful weapon.”
”You made her into one of your slaves.”
“No. It was her faction who did. I, on the other hand, have turned her true self, thanks to the strong psychic link within.”
“Psychic link? Then—!”

While the two were having their dialogue in the carrier, Chloe jumped from her craft and into the roof of the large carrier. She received orders from her captors to kill Iruga. She positioned her main cannon at the roof below her. She was about to fire when Kanzaki rammed her flight module at her, throwing her off-balance.
“Please try to remember. You liked him didn’t you? He made a promise to watch your back didn’t he?”
“Urgh! I serve only Architect. I am—“
“You’re not! You are Chloe S. Victoria of Schwarze Abend! You have a crush on Iruga Kamishiro and a rival named Kanzaki Tachibana! I won’t let you forget all that!”
“Chloe Victoria! Don’t listen to her! She is just trying to confuse you!”
“Don’t you remember when we were being harassed by the Council members? How we had to—“
“Aaaarrghhh!!! Both of you shut up!!!”
Chloe’s eyes turned red as her psychic cells started going rogue. Her ferocity increased as the seals on her other weapons were disengaged. She now has four high-energy guns prepared to fire.
“Chloe
 I’ll get you back
I swear on it!”
Kanzaki activated her Pathfinder Mode, scales covering her body as her flames turned a deep purple. She latched on to the roof of the carrier and headed for Chloe. She grabbed Chloe’s arms as to prevent her from firing but Chloe struggled back, shaking her right arm free and activating the large devourer weapon there. Kanzaki caught it as their psychic fields collided with each other, forming a barrier around them.



Back at the Orion, Grace saw this phenomenon and took her chance.
“Here I go, Ms. Tachibana.”
She headed outside and hanged on to the railing on top of the Orion. There, she channeled her mana to form a field for Kanzaki to trace.
“What are you doing, Grace?!”
“Trust me, this will work!”
The two opposing fields collided and Kanzaki was able to enter in the quantum world within Chloe’s mind. Inside, everything was a confusing mixture of red and gray. She struggled to find Chloe’s consciousness within the confusion. She managed to find her, drifting alone in the chaos.
“There you are! You are aware that your body is currently causing us a load of trouble aren’t you?”
“Kanzaki
I’m sorry, but I don’t have the strength to resist anymore
”
“What are you talking about? Since when did you allow yourself to be defeated like that? The Chloe Victoria I know can’t be beaten that easily.”
She extended a hand to Chloe.
“Let’s go back, all right?”

As Chloe was about to take her hand, a sudden backlash snapped them out and separated them again.



Back at the skies, Chloe’s new armaments went out of control and one of her cannons fired in the direction of the Orion. It wasn’t able to hit anyone but the resulting shockwaves knocked Grace off-balance, sending her into a free fall. The shockwaves also affected the carrier’s interior, knocking out Iruga and damaging some parts inside.
“Grace!”
Skye jumped off to follow her, channeling Albion on the way.
“You’ll let me see this miracle, won’t you?”
Albion nodded and granted him the power he needs. He was engulfed in a blue light, changing his form as he descended. The full power of his armor manifested, changing his appearance. Long hair and clad in black armor, he descended faster, using his spikes to cut through the air.
“Skye!”
He reached out and held onto Grace, taking her into his arms. He saw that the Orion descend to get them so he latched onto it.
“Skye, earlier—“
“Yeah, it’s possible. We can still do this.”
He gave a command to the helmsman to move the Orion closer.

As Chloe recovered from the backlash, Kanzaki pushed her down, sending both of them crashing into the compartment beneath. They struggled against each other in that very small space. Iruga managed to regain his footing just in time to see a plasma beam headed his way. He dodged it by running across the sides as Chloe’s beam kept on following him. Seeing his face, Chloe quickly stopped her cannon.
“It’s no use Kanzaki. Finish me off!”
“I can’t and I won’t!”
Kanzaki re-established her psychic field, forming another barrier. This time, their full power was enough to rock the carrier violently, to the surprise of TSL’s chairwoman. A secretary approached her and informed her of the phenomenon.
“This is bad! Chloe and Kanzaki are currently resonating with each other, forming powerful psy-waves all over the ship!”
“We’re looking at the possibility of a distortion outbreak, is that it?”
“Yes! And if that happens, all of us in this airspace may be swallowed in!”
They were surprised when the Orion moved closer, carrying the mage and knight on the roof.
“Come back to us! Ms. Tachibana! Ms. Mercenary!”
Grace reformed her mana field and connected it to the psychic field of the two opposing psychic combatants.
Within her mind, Chloe could hear the several voices calling out to her.
“It’s pointless
just let me go already
save yourselves
”
“No way! I still need a rematch with you!”
“Kanzaki!”
“Chloe, can you hear me?”
“Iruga-san
”
“They reconditioned you didn’t they? Come back with us Chloe! This is not where you belong! I promised you didn’t I? That I’ll always have your back?”
“Iruga-san
you don’t have to save me
you’re powerful enough on your own. Please, don’t waste anymore of your strength
not on a weak human like me
”
“Even so! I don’t want to lose you!”

Iruga extended his hand to take Chloe’s disregarding the confusion around them. Sensing all of that, Chloe took his hand and followed them out.



Back at their real bodies, the psychic field slowly dissipated as Chloe started to faint. The monstrosity attached to her loosened, letting her true body fall out. Iruga managed to catch her as she fell like a leaf on the ground. Kanzaki let go of the empty shell she was holding on and checked Chloe’s body.
“She’s all right
thank God!”
“Come on, let’s get out of here.”
Iruga and Kanzaki jumped off from the carrier and into the Orion, taking the sleeping Chloe with them.
“Mission complete, right?”
“Yeah, let’s head back.”
The Orion slowly broke away and left the airspace, leaving the Architect officials hanging in disbelief. Inside, Kanzaki laid Chloe on a medical room and kept a close watch on her as they headed back at the base.
“So you really outdone yourself, this time eh?”
“Of course. Guess we’re even now.”
“Heh
”
“I have to say, you are very troublesome to deal with.”
“Yeah, sorry about that.”
“Even so! I’m not letting you have him that easily!”
“What are you talking about? You saw how he rescued me back there?”
“Hey! I was the one who gave the window of opportunity! I reached for your hand first, might I remind you!”
“Oh
jealous much?”
The fighter was suddenly rocked as some Architect soldiers fired on them from their ships headed to Izumo. Skye and Iruga watched from the cockpit, assessing their situation.
“Just as we succeeded in our mission, these bastards had to get into the way. I’m going out.”
“There’s no need for that. The Guard Division has prepared a surprise for them.”
The ships were attacked from different directions as they neared Izumo territory. Several automatons ambushed them, shooting beam blasts at the approaching enemy. From the coast, three dragons armed with heavy artillery equipment started firing away, sinking a bunch of frigates headed their way. The Orion managed to arrive safely at the coast. Iruga quickly alighted to take command of the coastal guard.
“Arioch, Basileus! Aim for the hulls to sink them immediately. Send another automaton squadron to replace the earlier ones so they can re-arm!”
Iruga looked on at the oceans ahead.
“Now then, witness the powerful defense of Izumo, Architect!”

The group looked around amongst themselves. Alto shook his head when Ataro asked him if he would go. The taller man pointed to the passed out girl beside him as he gently shook her by the shoulder in an attempt to wake her up.
"So, uh, who's up for it?"
"Well, I don't know, but your girlfriend over there's out of the question."
"Shut up, Soda. Why don't you go?"
Ataro raised his hands in defeat.
"Uh, no. I don't sing. Not ever."
"You do now, Hatsuyuki."
Tsubaki glared at him, and Ataro promptly glared back. Just as he was about to stand up- they were on the sidelines, on the floor, in a circle- Yoru grinned.
"Tsubaki-chan, why don't you go?"
"What the hell, Yurasaki? No way."
Yoru smirked, grabbing her by the wrist.
"Well, you are."
He pushed her forward, startling Tsubaki as she struggled against the boy. Finally, she gave up, her arms falling to her sides as Yoru ushered her onstage, winking at the audience before he disappeared again, back to his group. Ataro clapped him on the back as Kiro shrugged. Tsubaki glared at the rest that were staring at her before pulling out her iPod, looking around it for a while for a song before sighing and playing the instrumentals of one. She gave a final glare at the audience before shutting her eyes so she could feel and concentrate on the music more.

Edo no machi wa kyou mo fukaku
Yoru no tobari kakete yuku
Kagami muite beni o hiite
Oujiru mama ukeireru mama

Daidaiiro kagayaita hana
Akogareteta nozondeita
Itsunomanika aiiro no hana
Keredo watashi yasukunai wa


At first, I had wanted
To blossom only for one person
But...
Fate stole away my freedom
And so, the wheels
Continued to turn.


Itsuwari darake no renai
soshite watashi o daku no ne
Kanashii kurai ni kanjita furi no
Yoshiwara kyou wa ame

Anata-sama douka watashi o
Katte itadakenai deshou ka
Sakidasu kasa no mure ni
Nureru watashi wa ame...


After that, she grabbed her iPod, shut it off and bolted offstage, tackling Yoru and knocking the breath out of him.
"O-Ow....Man, Tsubaki-chan, that--"
He wheezed,
"--T-That brought us to tears...Haha..."
Tsubaki brought her fist down on his chest angrily, knocking even more of his breath out. Kiro looked around, sighing.
"If even Tsubaki's so nervous to look at the audience, I wonder what would happen to me if I went up there."




After all that, Skye was exhausted. The Guard Division was coming back, too, so he expected Basileus to come in at any moment now. And he did.
"Yo, Advent! Did you see me down there!? Did you see my awesome squadron of androids!?"
Skye sighed, nodding.
"I did. But why do they all look like maids?"
"I know right!? That's what makes them so awesome!! It's perfect, I tell you!"

Mikuru stirred a bit after Alto poked her. Waking up slowly, she gingerly put a hand to her head.
"O-Ow... my head..."
Looking to the side, Mikuru saw Alto looking at her. Blushing a bit, she looked to the floor.
"Oh dear... Did I faint? I'm sorry..."
Amiya saw that Mikuru was awake and ran up to her.
"Oh thank god, you're okay!!"
"A-Ah! Amiya-chan... Did I scare you?"
"Yeah, you really did..."
Mikuru hugged Amiya back in a wordless apology. Frowning, she scolded herself mentally for making her friends worry about her. Breathing a sigh of relief, Misato walked up on stage.
"Well, seeing two girls go before I do is certainly emasculating. I'll go next~"
Humming a bit to himself, Misato played the music on his phone as well.
"Tondemonai genshou dou yara toumei ningen ni narimashita

After that, Mikuru applauded her friend. Misato took a bow in a comedic fashion before sitting down. Arata nudged Misato.
"Nice job up there..."
"Heh, I was always more of a singer than an actor anyway."
Mikuru cleared her throat and stood up next.
"I... I feel really guilty for passing out like that so I'll go next."
That had surprised the crowd. Amiya looked at Mikuru from her seat worriedly as did Misato. Arata, Alexa and Siren merely watched the shy girl, wondering what she would sing. Mikuru fumbled through the music on her phone before finally finding the song. Looking at the crowd, Mikuru twiddled her thumbs as the opening number came on.

Amiya, Misato, Arata, Alexa and even Siren gave Mikuru sympathy applause. The poor girl didn't want to be on the stage but she got on it anyway. Amiya went over to Mikuru first, grabbing her by her shoulders.
"You going to be okay?"
"I-I-I j-just n-n-need t-to s-s-s-sit d-down..."
"Yeah, okay... We're sitting down now..."
Amiya sat Mikuru down next to Alto again and sat on the other seat beside Mikuru, trying to calm her down. Alexa on the other hand looked over at Mikuru, impressed.
'How brave of her. Even though she didn't want to be on the stage performing, she still carried through. I'm a little jealous of her bravery. I have to work up to that level to face Eradicator...'


Grace was equally exhausted. The events with the Architect and almost losing one of her friends had drained her. She found Chloe and Kanzaki arguing again. Smiling softly she walked over to them.
"I see you're doing well, Miss Mercenary."
Sitting down next to the two, she breathed out a sigh of relief.
"That's good. I wouldn't want one of my friends to be in trouble... Ah, that reminds me. Miss Tachibana? I think I'll take you up on that offer to go to a hot spring. My muscles are really sore."
Grace almost felt giddy at the thought. She hadn't been to a hot spring in a while now so she felt it would do her some good.

Alto looked over at the others after Mikuru woke up.
"So then, who do you think should go then?"
The group was plunged into silence as they all looked at each other, expecting something. Finally, Kiro snapped from the silence.
"Oh goddamn it! Don't look over here."
He looked over to the still asleep Kanoko, making a silent prayer that she didn't just suddenly jolt awake and cause him lots of trouble. Taking a deep breath, he leaned in, and quietly whispered,
"Wake up, my beloved."
It was successful. She woke up in an instant, but wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest, knocking him over.
"Get off me, dammit!"
"Oh my god, Kanato, what did you say to her?"
"Just like lovers in the morning~"
"Bastards! Shut up and help me over here!"

After getting Kanoko off of the boy- it was really hard, she had kicked Ataro in the stomach three times- and shaking all sleepiness out of her, they were finally back to normal.
"So what's so important that even Kiro had to say those words?"
"It's decided, there are song auditions, no one wants to go, and you go."
She yawned, leaning back lazily.
"If Kiro goes after I do, then sure."
Everyone turned to the green-haired boy expectantly.
"....Okay, fine."
"Great."

She sighed, a little sleepy as she started to walk onto the stage, then pulled out her own phone, just playing a random instrumental. As it started, she seemed to awaken almost immediately.

Turning off the music, she went back to the group, now her normal self. She grinned at Kiro, expecting something.
"NO. Let the others have a chance first."
She pouted at her friend.
"Aw, you're no fun. But sure, fine."

Misato raised Arata's hand.
"This guy goes next~"
"Huh?! Why me?"
"Because I think you need to loosen the stick in your ass."
"I do not have a stick up there... Besides, I can't sing."
"Then find something you can do."
Arata sighed, realizing that Misato was not going to budge. Walking up, he searched through the internet to find a monologue to recite. Finding one, he cleared his throat.
"The kinder we, to give them thanks for nothing.
Our sport shall be to take what they mistake:
And what poor duty cannot do, noble respect
Takes it in might, not merit.
Where I have come, great clerks have purposed
To greet me with premeditated welcomes;
Where I have seen them shiver and look pale,
Make periods in the midst of sentences,
Throttle their practised accent in their fears
And in conclusion dumbly have broke off,
Not paying me a welcome. Trust me, sweet,
Out of this silence yet I pick'd a welcome;
And in the modesty of fearful duty
I read as much as from the rattling tongue
Of saucy and audacious eloquence.
Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity
In least speak most, to my capacity."

Misato clapped.
"Nicely done, man~"
Arata sent a weary glare in his direction before sitting back down. Alexa stood up next. Siren raised an eyebrow, wondering how this was going to play out.
'I could easily just throw the audition... There are people out there who will deserve this far more than I ever will. Besides, with Eradicator on the stage, all my focus will be on getting my part right. But... I still want to try.'
Alexa stood in the center of the stage, imagining that the world was instead in black with no one around but herself. As she found her music, the emotions rushed inside her as she knew exactly what she was going to sing.
"One day
The light of love
Though it may seem far away
Will shine again in your eyes
(Transcend and rise above)

But there's only one dream
And it has ripped at the seam.
This world will end in ruin
(And I'll lose all I love)

Swallow all your doubt
Make your lust cry out
I will help you swallow your hesitation
You'll trust me
Cause you yearn with greed
Though your heart may bleed
Will we fade away from this world
with no hope to hold onto?

I remember you from a dream I thought was truth
You bright with magic and I blinded by my youth
All is wish is for your hand to hold, you see
Only your smile kills the dark in me

With these hands I try to hold what I cannot seize
I'm like a rose thrown into a violent breeze
All my strength blown away
With my heart I will stay
Praying for light
Guiding my wish with all my might"

The violin died out as Alexa was left breathing on the stage. She was unaware of the applause given to her.
"Damn! And I thought Kanoko was good..."
"I didn't expect Alexa to have that hidden in her~"
"T-That was amazing!"
"Yeah... It was pretty good."
Siren merely applauded and smiled at Alexa. Alexa ignored them for the time being. Eradicator was starting to come out again.
'Was that dedicated to that Hatsuyuki bastard?! Or was it that bitch?!'
'Yeah... So what if it was dedicated to either of them? There's still a message resonating strong in there. I may not be able to beat you without some light in my life but I'm still going to try my hardest to do so!'
'I hope you know what you're getting into, Lexy. You belong to me... and no one else but me. Trying this stuff is just pointless! You know you can't win-'
'I can and I will dammit!!!'
Alexa strode off from the stage and walked into the class hallway, trying to get Eradicator to stop but needing help to do so. Siren was tempted to go out there but decided against it.
'She's fine...'
