Chapter 4: Magiic Seal of Darkness
Lily's POV
"Angels, i've detected a situation near Magiic." Tact said once the Angels were grouped in the bridge.
"Taking bets!" Jace spoke up.
"Bets? For what?" Natsume asked.
"Likelihood whatever fleet there's led by an android version of Ursula."
"I'll put ten thousand on that!" Tequila suddenly piped up. "In favor it IS an android Ursula leading this fleet."
"Jace, you gonna cover it if it is?" Rico asked.
"Well, i might not be an official XQ agent yet but since i was born and raised in their main dimension my bank account has their infinite money in it. So in a sense, if any of you win i'm gonna cover it."
"Thank goodness, 'cause i'm putting two million on the chance it is her." Lester suddenly piped up.
"Hoping you win so you don't need help from Amethyst regarding helping Almo neutralize the normal height difference between you and her, eh Colonel?"
"ABOUT TIME COLONEL!" Tact exclaimed. To his shock, Lester didn't have his normal reaction.
Then i noticed both Tequila and Anise were blushing profusely.
"Okay you two, what's up?" i asked the two blushing girls.
"I found a Soul Bond between Lester and Almo that was supposed to have activated three and a half years back, and Main DIvision agent Karin Stewart set up how they activated it. It subsequently set up why Lester put in that bet regarding who's leading the fleet near Magiic, 'cause without heels Almo only makes it to the top of Lester's ribcage and with heels she becomes much closer to him height-wise. We're trying not to need Amethyst's help in getting Almo a few pairs of heels for that purpose 'cause the majority of the heels she'd likely give her have insteps in the range of Lily's or Tequila's." Anise explained.
"More like Lily's, i'm in ballet boots." Tequila pointed out.
"In a sense, it's the same thing, just your heels lack a base sole in the front." i spoke up. "That, and my heels are pumps whereas your ballet boots are thigh high."
"Well, my original boots were thigh-high, just with a far lower heel."
"And i wore flat mid-calf boots before the incident!"
"Well, in your defense Lily you ARE a knight, not having XQ's abilities related to wearing such high heels might explain why. Helps when using a sword, one wrong move with heels on and you'd potentially be looking at an ankle injury."
"Or worse, dead, my opponent if that happens might not be honorable and finish me while i'm unable to defend myself."
"Good point. Hey Tact, how much longer until we reach Magiic?"
"Three more minutes, with Chrono Drive we're getting close real quick."
"Good, i can't wait to see if an android version of Ursula's leading this fleet."
"Commodore Meyers, i'm picking up a transmission from Jet." Coco said as soon as we left Chrono Drive.
"Jet? Why would he contact us when he's on our side?"
"Maybe it isn't Ursula who's leading this fleet."
"You would be correct." a male voice said as a different transmission opened up. It turned out to be a pale-skinned male with short spiky light blue hair.
"Cyrus?! Where's Ursula?!"
"She's... elsewhere currently. Everyone on our team sans her has multiple android variants; she has none."
"Oh, well, that works out in our favor then."
"Why else would we have multiple android variants of each of our male members?" Cyrus asked.
"True, that. You better get ready, 'cause the Angel Squadron's about to kick your android butt to Other World."
"We'll see about that." Cyrus said before cutting the transmission.
"Angels, get ready. This battle might be difficult, you'll need to take the strong ones out quickly to shorten the fight. Cyrus, the leader, is most likely in the flagship, he's the primary target."
"Let's do this!" someone yelled out, and with that we rushed to the Emblem Frames. This fleet, i noticed, had aligned themselves in a formation that notably started messing with Kahlua's new XQ-designed Emblem Frame.
At least until Jace hit an Onyx Meteor almost immediately after his Omega Falcon launched, wiping out a cluster in a lowercase Gamma pattern.
"Why did Jace have a special charged already?!" Cyrus was heard asking; the blast had BARELY missed his fleet's flagship.
"Held onto it after a random battle en route." Jace explained. My hereditarily mismatched eyes widened in realization, having remembered the Omega Falcon has multiple specials that can be activated at will. But he could've had that one since who knows when, the 'activated at will' part most likely meant each one has its own charge gauge.
Then the flagship exploded, from not one but THREE Hexa-Cross Break specials simultaneously activating.
"I can't believe i just pulled that stunt off!" Tequila, breathing heavily, exclaimed.
"What stunt?" Nano asked.
"The one Zephyr pulled off on the Shadow Moon."
"Sounds like someone just discovered the form of her ZJ Chrono Absolaris Attack." Maranda (in the Lucky Star Emblem Frame bearing the Rainbow Angel insignia) stated, just as she took down a cluster of ships in another position. Ten minutes later there wasn't a single ship of Cyrus' fleet left.
When we got back onto our respective ships (Tequila and Jace both boarding the Solaris GT this time) we entered Chrono Drive, racing to Seldar.
Boy were we surprised to see some sort of supership there.
Two of them, actually.
"Angel Squadron," a voice spoke over a transmission that opened, "we're not here to fight you."
"Who are you anyway?" Rico asked.
"Parfait. I have info on the whereabouts of Ursula." the now-identified Parfait answered.
"Cyrus did say she was elsewhere, we were kinda expecting her to lead the fleet we dealt with at Magiic." i spoke up.
"Oh she's elsewhere alright. She isn't even in this multiverse. Her actual location is South Park, she's learned of a Rainbow Angel stranded there and has been prepping Damian to alter events so she won't be able to leave."
"Which Rainbow Angel is it?" Kahlua asked just as Amethyst conferenced herself in.
"I didn't catch a designation number, but i did see some very long dark blue hair with numerous orange accents and a pair of platform knee-high blue peep-toe boots in the image i got."
Amethyst facepalmed, muttering something that i think might've been some sort of expletive directed at someone who wasn't here.
"I feel like you could use some extra firepower, especially since that fleet you guys took down near here six months ago had a replica of the Nightmare Chasm Cannon; the real one's in their hideout dimension still being equipped to their true flagship."
"That cannon was only a replica?!" i asked, shock evident on my face.
"It was, Sorbet showed footage of that battle to Jet, whose scouter confirmed it to be a replica. Follow us, we'll take you to our leaders."
"Upside, Jace doesn't need to use that cannon now." Natsume remarked once the transmission was cut. "If i were him, though, i'd keep it in case we need it against another of their fleets."
"Agreed. Ursula's group must be a major threat to existence if the Will want to ally with us."

Almo's POV
Minutes later
"Hey, Amethyst, what's wrong? Is it related to Ursula's current location?"
"Yeah. I have reason to believe my twin sister went and stranded Anastasia in South Park."
"Anastasia?"
"One of my custom duplicates. I recognized her judging by the description Parfait gave, she's the only person who meets both the hair color scheme and chosen heels. The latter's her signature pair; she can only wear peep-toe heels."
"Beneficial for her, considering Rainbow Angel policy mandates heels for specific times. And speaking of heels, i might need your help with getting some pairs to help counter my height disadvantage compared to Lester. Lester was hoping that fleet we dealt with was led by Ursula, so we wouldn't have to need you help with that."
"Why?"
"Apparantly if your help was needed for something like that you'd most likely give the female needing the assistance several VERY high pairs. But what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Besides, i could use some for a more intimate time with him, especially after seeing some of the heels Vanilla's been wearing lately. In fact, she did say one of them in particular came from that store you run in your spare time. Something regarding one of those WLI girls in regards to that technique those idiots used to escape after the Shadow Moon was destroyed."
"Oh. Sure, i'll help you out."
