Episode 05

~ To the Shattered World ~

"I don't like this! The strong stench of sulphur really making my nose rotten…hey, Signum-danna…do you think we could really find what we are looking for here?" Agito asked, as she was floating around her Lord the leader of Wolkenritter and General of the Raging Fire Signum Yagami that was inspecting the area previously becoming the final stand battlefield between US army together with Empire of Japan's expeditionary force against the advancing BETA movement around Nova Scotia. Signum was just shook her head before stared back at Agito and replied with her usual stoic voice tone, albeit she was still able to sadly smiling back at her beloved Unity Knight (Unison Device) in front of her.

"Unfortunately no Agito…since I doubt these creatures Ave referred as BETA would have direct connection with Eclipse Drivers…although, the dimensional rift appeared around here previously were detected for teleporting several Eclipse Drivers by accident to this dimension…" Signum replied back calmly, as she pat on Agito's head gently meanwhile the chibi-redhead Unity Knight herself could only reluctantly nodded in agreement over Signum's explanation. "Still, I find it quite unbelievable for this world as well as the Origin World merged into one and things was somehow getting worse and worse each day…" Agito made her remark, as she took a deep breath and sighed meanwhile Signum was just remain silent for a moment while staring at her Unity Knight in front of her before replying back at Agito's remark just before.

"Multiple dimensional rifts were detected in these past three months and slowly but surely some other elements from various worlds would also merge as well with this world…and also for the incident that was happening around the world…I heard from my master Hayate Yagami, some people from the Bureau already considering the emergency plan to interfere directly if the situation getting even dire afterward…let's hope it would not getting even worse day by day from now on…and I think we also should take a good care of some leftover from the battlefield just before…" Signum replied back at Agito's remark as she was turning her body and came face to face with numbers of surviving tank-class BETAs that were hiding inside the belly of fort-class BETA's corpses scattered across the battlefield, approximately three hundreds of them.

"So, these are those creatures that were leaving foul stench all across the battlefield…Signum-danna! Let's us send them back to the afterlife by cremating them!" Agito grinned, as she summoned her Barrier Jacket and readying herself to unison-ed in with Signum that was already in her Knight Garb and unsheathed her Laevatein. "I let you handle the timing Agito, and we will finish it as quickly as possible…before anybody noticed our presence here…" Signum calmly replied back, as she was quickly readying her fighting stance before commanding her Laevatein to take Schlangeform (Snake Form) in which Laevatein replied back in affirmative.

"Jawohl! Schlangeform!"

Combined and empowered by Agito that was also already performing "unison in" with Signum, the said General of the Raging Fire quickly leaped toward the incoming three hundreds tank-class BETAs in front of her and soon enough afterward, flaming explosion could be seen across the wasteland formerly known as Nova Scotia, incarcerates those tank-class BETAs in the process as well.

Three days later, on TSAB's administered world number three, Vaizen…

"Nanoha-san! Ave-san! It had been a while ever since we see each other!" Subaru greeted both Nanoha and Ave that were just arrived at Vaizen's inter-dimensional spaceport, as both Nanoha and the young Enforcer aide quickly smiled back at Subaru while greeted her back as well. "It has been a while indeed Subaru, ever since we work together to solve major incident like JS Incident five years ago…" Nanoha replied back, as she smiled gently at Subaru meanwhile the young sergeant Subaru Nakajima quickly nodded in agreement over Nanoha's remark as well. "By the way Nanoha-san, Ave-san…I didn't see Reinforce Eins-san and Rein as well…are they also participating in this mission as well?" Subaru asked, as this time Ave decided to answer Subaru's question.

"Both Reinforce and Rein currently already aboard Wolfram together with commander Yagami, as they need to be there in order to welcome Erio and Caro…meanwhile I believe Teana-san is still conducting her own investigation, as Fate-san will be joining us ahead her…" Ave finished his answer, as Subaru was quickly nodded in agreement after hearing Ave's explanation. It was when Nanoha decided to ask Subaru over certain little boy she was adopted as her younger brother around four years ago. It was when Subaru was just laughed sheepishly as she took Mach Caliber out from her pocket and showed Nanoha and Ave pictures of herself, Teana and the young boy mentioned by Nanoha before and identified as the younger Thoma Avenir.

"So, this boy that you always referred as your new younger brother…Thoma-kun is currently on journey for self-rediscovery at the moment?" Nanoha asked, as Subaru quickly nodded back, affirming Nanoha's comment just before. Ave on the other hand was only remain silent as he glanced at those pictures.

"Thoma Avenir…the carrier of Zero-gene…I better not to say anything or I risked myself for being suspicious in front of Nanoha-san, Subaru and everyone else as well…" Ave muttered alone inside his heart, as he remembered on how he supposedly already knew almost everything that would be happening afterward thanks to his prior knowledge he obtained in his previous old-self. However, he always kept on reminding himself over the fact things already changed ever since Break The World happened, and he would never be able to predict accurately on what would be happening afterward anymore. Ave might always be in denial over such facts presented in front of his eyes, although his role as Enforcer aide in these past three months surely showed him that his prior knowledge would definitely lost its significant accuracy on predicting that might be happening afterward. It was through careful investigation and research he might be able to prevent things that was already happened from becoming even worse in the end and he would definitely tried his best to aim for that.

"Ave-san? Are you alright? You seem spacing out?" Subaru asked, as Ave could only startled in surprise when he found Subaru's face already really close to his own. "Su…Subaru! Please don't scare me like that!" Ave was complaining meanwhile Subaru only grinned sheepishly as she clasped both of her hands and forming an apologetic Buddha gesture while apologizing in the same time as well. "Tee hee…gomen! I never realized that you're really jumpy after all…" the legendary Silver Ace of TSAB's special rescue division sergeant Subaru Nakajima apologized while in the same time decided to tease the said young Enforcer aide in front of her as well.

"Did Teana-san say something to you Subaru? I only remember for startled in surprise once, when I'm immersed on reading several reports from the Origin World that was merged with the Alternative World together and didn't notice her arrival when she already right in front of me and gave her greeting…" Ave took a deep breath and sighed, as he was replying back at Subaru's teasing with another question. It was when Subaru could only be seen laughed sheepishly as she heard that question before answering back at the young Enforcer aide in front of her. "Tea did say something…but in the same time, she also said that you're a very dependable partner and the progress for this investigation could be faster and smoother all thanks to your good work, Enforcer aide Ave J.C Takamachi…tee hee…" Subaru answered back, as Ave could only laugh sheepishly in embarrassment meanwhile Nanoha also nodded in agreement proudly over the achievement made by her adoptive younger brother.

Subaru, Nanoha and Ave were then decided to head to Terminal VI in where Wolfram currently stationed, as they believe Hayate, Reinforce Eins, Reinforce Zwei, Erio and Caro would already be waiting for their arrival. Nanoha was also remembering that her beloved Fate-chan and her co-worker Vita Yagami would also joining them shortly at dimensional nexus on their way to the world of Origin that was already merged with the world of Alternative. It was twelve hours before the commencement of the mission, as the legendary Ace of Aces of Time-Space Administration Bureau definitely looking forward to see with her own eyes over the threats that both Eclipse Drivers and BETAs would possess and fight them with her full power now unlike before, three months ago when she rescued Fate and Ave during the early day of Break The World.

"By the way Nanoha-san…how's Vivio and Einhalt? Do they know about the nature of our mission just yet?" Ave decided to ask; meanwhile Nanoha only shook her head gently before replying back. "Vivio and Einhalt-chan didn't know more than the fact we are leaving for certain important mission…the detail of this mission however is being kept confidential by Hayate-chan after all…" Nanoha replied back, meanwhile Ave only nodded in understanding over his adoptive eldest sister's reply. "Still, don't you think it would feel bad for both Vivio and Einhalt when they learnt the true nature and how dangerous our mission this time?" this time Subaru decided to ask, she together with Nanoha and Ave finally arrived at Terminal VI. Nanoha on the other hand only shook her head once again before smiled gently at Subaru and replying back.

"Both Vivio and Einhalt will definitely understand the true nature of our mission Subaru, it was because of their understanding, both of them decided to remain quiet and send us away with smiles…especially for Vivio, since uhm…I feel Einhalt-chan is still to stoic for being able to smile freely unrestrained like Vivio nya, ha, ha, ha…so please rest assure that both Vivio and Einhalt-chan will never blame us for anything and we have our responsibility to return safely to them as well nee…" Nanoha finished her reply, as this time both Subaru and Ave finally and fully understood about the true nature of the legendary Ace of Aces in front of them. Even though Nanoha never revealed anything too much in front of her own daughter and her own daughter's best friend (love interest), their bond definitely let them to reach mutual understanding for each other and accepted them as well. It was when both Subaru and Ave themselves started to wonder if they could be able to do the same with their respective beloved one, in which Nanoha confidently said of course they would definitely be able to do so since Subaru was one of her former best student meanwhile Ave inherited the name of Takamachi himself.

As Nanoha, Ave and Subaru finally entered the main deck of Wolfram, the young Enforcer aide glanced at the inter-dimensional spaceport of Vaizen from the transparent Orihalconium glass window around Wolfram's deck as he took a deep breath and sighed. "Ave-kun, is there something wrong?" Nanoha asked, as Ave was only smiling back at his adoptive eldest sister while he also shook his head gently before replying back. "Nah, there is nothing wrong Nanoha-san…I just somehow come into realization that I would definitely miss Mid-Childa as well as Vaizen since I…I mean we would be away for a while after all aren't we…" Ave replied back, as both Nanoha and Subaru quickly nodded in agreement. "I definitely understand that feeling Ave-kun…and we will definitely missed this place as well as Mid…but should always remember that we definitely have places to return for…places we could call home after all…am I right nee…nya, ha, ha, ha…" Nanoha laughed sheepishly as she finished her reply.

Both Ave and Subaru were definitely agree over Nanoha's reply and statement just now, as no matter how far their mission would took them away, as long as they keep on remembering those warmest memories they share together in Mid-Childa and her administered worlds, they would definitely have places they could return. Places they could call home where they belong after all.

In the meantime, at Alaska's Yukon Base…

First lieutenant Takeru Shirogane was only remain silent as he watched over the mock battle between Squad 207 members against five members of A-01's Isumi Valkyries members as five Type-97 Fubuki units were taking cover behind several ruined buildings across the entire battleground meanwhile five Type-94 Shiranui in UN blue paintjob piloted by second lieutenant Akane Suzumiya, second lieutenant Haruko Kashiwagi, second lieutenant Tae Tsukiji, second lieutenant Touko Kazama and first lieutenant Mitsuki Hayase begin their all-offensive assaults with their respective Type-87 assault rifles fitted with paint bullets. It was when Sumika that was standing nearby Takeru grinned before asking her beloved boyfriend about the possible outcome of the said simulation battle itself.

"Nee…nee…nee…Takeru-chan! Do you still think that Meiya-chan and our other friends from Squad 207 could beat those seasoned veterans of Isumi Valkyries? They seem getting pinned down even worse than before and what they could do is just going all defensive after all…" Sumika asked, as she was also voicing her opinion in regards to the simulation battle in front of her. It was when Takeru took a deep breath and sighed before he smiled back at Sumika and answering his girlfriend's question.

"Those Fubuki piloted by Meiya and the others were installed with XM3 ver.1.02 OS that would definitely more advanced than the original XM3 ver.1.00 OS currently being installed in every single Shiranui units of Special Taskforce A-01's seventh and ninth squadrons…moreover Meiya and everyone else were talented enough to handle those overconfident veterans in their own…just watch Sumika since the outcome of this battle might surprise you after all…" Takeru finished his reply as he grinned back at Sumika in the same time, meanwhile the young girl with long red hair tied with a single massive yellow ribbon quickly smiled back both mischievously and amusement as well after she heard her boyfriend's reply.

"I see…I never expecting Takeru-chan love to bet on the odd bet after all…tee hee, since logic and analysis wise Isumi Valkyries would definitely win in every aspect over Squad 207 due to their more high-performance TSF units as well as combat experiences…but, you might really surprise me after all nee…Takeru-chan?" Sumika replied back playfully, as she smiled cutely at Takeru that was quickly blushed slightly in embarrassment when he realized how cute and adorable his beloved Sumika Kagami is, moreover when he somehow remembered the morning incident that was involving (according to everyone's else common sense) "compromising threesome situation" between Sumika, himself and Kasumi Yashiro. It was when Sumika quickly glared at Takeru before scolding him and pouted in the same time as well.

"Takeru-chan! You must be thinking about something perverted don't you?" Sumika complained as she was pouting in the same time as well. It was when Takeru quickly startled in surprise as soon as he heard Sumika's accusation as he was quickly trying to defend himself without much success. Luckily for Takeru, the main automatic door of the command post centre was opened right after he tried to open his mouth in order to defend himself from Sumika's accusation as both Sumika and Takeru quickly turned their heads to see the incoming visitors that would quickly be identified as vice commander of Alternative IV Project Yuuko Kouzuki accompanied by second lieutenant Kasumi Yashiro that was carrying piles of heavy paperwork together with Yuuko's personal secretary first lieutenant Irina Pyatkh.

"My…my…my…what do we have here, another morning quarrel between husband and wife…don't forget, the younger mistress would definitely defend the unfaithful husband after all…" Yuuko grinned as she made her sly remark across the command post centre, as Takeru and Sumika as well as Kasumi that was just arrived blushed in embarrassment. "Yuuko-sensei! That's sound really wrong! Don't you realize that?" Takeru complained, as Yuuko was just laughed before she took a seat on the nearby chair meanwhile in the same time both Kasumi and Irina were quickly enough to put their heavy burdens known as stack of paperwork on the working desk where vice commander Yuuko Kouzuki currently seated.

"Uhm, vice commander Kouzuki…uhm, I thought you were not interested to watch combat simulation between Eishi after all…why are you here then?" Sumika asked, as Yuuko was only grinned in amusement before asked Kasumi and Irina to hand down certain thin white folders at both Takeru and Sumika respectively. Takeru's eyes could be seen twitched as he read the cover title of the report in his folder as he muttered with very little audible voice although it would still audible enough for both Sumika and Kasumi for some reason.

"Case 00…report from Seattle…so, Marimo-chan was compiling this report in regards of those surviving refugees from Japan mainland…as well as possible mission plan to assist the remaining force stranded in Japan while retaking the said mainland itself while preventing Oceanic Inversion to get even worse each days…" Takeru muttered alone, as Sumika decided to nudge at Takeru's right arm while voicing her thought over the report she just skimmed through briefly. "Takeru-chan, don't you think it would be quite strange for Jinguuji-sensei to come up with this report for all the sudden?" Sumika asked, as Takeru was remain silent for a while before replied back.

"You have the point Sumika…since her divisions were not intelligence divisions and those expeditionary forces after all were just Imperial Army squadrons stationed in United States soils as per agreement between Empire of Japan, United States and UN prior Break The World happened and for Marimo-chan to suddenly send us these detailed reports that could only being written by someone from intelligence divisions such CIA or the one under minister of intelligence Sakon Yoroi…somehow quite concerning after all…" Takeru replied back at Sumika's remark, as this time Kasumi decided to voice her thought as well.

"Sumika…Takeru…the most important part of these reports were compiled within the second half of it…after page 231…" Kasumi timidly informed both Takeru and Sumika to just left the first two hundreds and thirty one pages for later and went straight to the page after that. In the meantime both Yuuko and Irina secretly grinned in amusement as they realized on how Kasumi definitely grew attached even more at Takeru as the shy and timid younger girl in front of them started to address Takeru Shirogane with "Takeru" first name in the opposed of "Shirogane-san" surname after the (cough…cough!) memorable "compromising threesome situation" happened around one and half months ago.

"This…this is…!" both Takeru and Sumika eyes were quickly went wide as they read through the first, second and third paragraphs of those reports meanwhile Yuuko quickly grinned in satisfaction before started her long interesting lecture full with enthusiasm. "Don't you think this would be awesome and beyond wild imagination of mankind after all? Even third generation TSF alone would never be able to do this feat alone in short period of time!" Yuuko began her lecture in enthusiasm, as Takeru raised his right hand. "Yes, question? First lieutenant Shirogane, please proceed then Silver Saviour?" Yuuko playfully gave Takeru a permission to quickly raise any question after all, as Takeru himself coughed several times before started his question.

"Yuuko-sensei, I found your statement before is quite understatement since later third generation TSF such as EF-2000 Typhoon and F-22 Raptor would definitely be able to perform such feat alone, especially after even the earliest version of XM3 OS being installed in them…am I right?" Takeru finished his question, as Yuuko was quickly shocked with such logical deduction and question presented in front of her. "He was right vice commander…I think it would be wiser for you to rephrase your statement before…" first lieutenant Irina suggested, as she tried to suppress her giggle since she just don't want to look rude in front of her vice commander after all. It was when Yuuko grumbled with quite pissed expression on her face before took a deep breath and decided to rephrase her statement just before.

"When I said third generation TSF, I'm referring as the first third generation such as our Type-94 Shiranui and training machine such as Type-97 Fubuki…and I hope you would be satisfied with that first lieutenant Shirogane! Anyway, let's us continue…the most important part is a group of surviving tank-class BETAs…three hundreds of them were detected across the wasteland of Nova Scotia a few days ago and code 991 were announced across United States…mainly Alaska, Tacoma and Seattle…but after five minutes the warning code 991 were called off and the status was reverted back to normal…" vice commander Yuuko Kouzuki stopped her explanation for a moment, as Takeru, Sumika, Kasumi and Irina quickly remembered over the DEFCON2 condition that was happened for as short as five minutes three days ago and the explanation that was given to them as well as other personnel and general public was emergency system failure, although most Eishi especially those from Squad 207, Isumi Valkyries, Argos Test Team as well as Takeru, Sumika and Kasumi found such explanation was hard to be believable after all.

"Back over Takeru's statement just before…it might be a single EF-2000 Typhoon or F-22 Raptor from whomever God's knows squadron decided to play gung-ho and slaughter those BETAs alone…however, won't it be interesting when Marimo found out the one responsible for the said BETAs slaughter was a single swordswoman accompanied by a little missy devil fairy armed with fiery sword that can transformed into whip…straight from your favourite Fire Emblem video game series, eh, first lieutenant Shirogane?" vice commander Yuuko Kouzuki once again stopped her explanation after she voiced her thought meanwhile Takeru and Sumika quickly took a notice over a blurry photograph image of young swordswoman in knight garb armed with fiery sword incarcerate those three hundreds tank-class BETAs at ease.

"This picture is real isn't it? You not happen to ask first lieutenant Michiru or second lieutenant Kazama to Photoshop-ed it right, Yuuko-sensei?" Takeru asked as he glanced at vice commander Yuuko Kouzuki with suspicious glance from his eyes. "Hey, these reports came from Marimo herself and there is no way for me to ask those two to perform image alteration on it…you should know that? Or do you think your vice commander here is as low as those Hua Lian squadron that was using forged picture of one of their Eishi performing flying kick that destroy one of F-15E Strike Eagle TSF's arm like some wuxia movie…" Yuuko complained, meanwhile both Takeru and Sumika could only laughed sheepishly before the former quickly apologized for suspecting Yuuko-sensei after all.

"By the way Yuuko-sensei…what do you think over this strange phenomenon that was happening right after slow Oceanic Inversion, Break The World and various dimensional anomalies detected across this new world started to be happening frequently? Since Sumika and myself suspect something even worse than BETA's invasion would be happening after all…especially Sumika keep on saying that and she could feel it somehow without knowing how such thing could be happening in the first place after all…" Takeru once again raised his question and concern.

"My…my…my, you're really an interesting fellow indeed first lieutenant Shirogane…and of course I'm still finding the fact Sumika's quantum brainwave that was happening naturally also interesting to be investigated as well…but let aside, we found this fact of a single swordswoman could easily dispatched three hundreds tank-class BETAs alone by herself could perhaps provide us with the key of our salvation that lies on the success of this new Alternative IV…" Yuuko replied back, as she grinned at Takeru meanwhile this time Sumika decided to raise her right hand and sheepishly asked the "scary" and "weird" Yuuko-sensei in front of her.

"Uhm, Kouzuki-sensei…I for some reason find that your answer before didn't answer Takeru-chan's question…" Sumika timidly asked Yuuko a question, as the vice commander of Alternative IV quickly took a deep breath and sighed before replying back at the natural born (perhaps) Esper girl in front of her. "I do share the same concern with first lieutenant Shirogane over the entire development currently happened across the globe, as I find the like of several other parties decided to get involved in this war for their own personal motivations…we should be careful when we choose our allies later on, since at the moment we should be questioning everyone personal gain for enrolling themselves into our war against BETA, as that said question would also applied to this swordswoman and her devil fairy companion of her as well…" vice commander Yuuko Kouzuki finished her answer, as she stared at both Takeru and Sumika with serious stare from her eyes, as both Takeru and Sumika nodded back in agreement before saluted at her.

Soon enough another roaring sound of fallen hunk of metal could be heard, as Takeru, Sumika, Kasumi, Irina and Yuuko saw Mitsuki Hayase's Type-94 Shiranui was pinned down on the ground by Meiya Mitsurugi's Type-97 Fubuki as Meiya pointed her Type-74 PB Blade close at Shiranui's cockpit block meanwhile Mitsuki aimed her Type-87 assault rifle at the head of Meiya's Type-97 Fubuki. The simulation battle was finally concluded as Takeru's prediction over Squad 207's triumph against Isumi Valkyries' members somehow made Sumika, Kasumi, and Irina as well as even vice commander Yuuko Kouzuki's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. "Unbelievable! Takeru-chan, how could you predict this outcome accurately?" Sumika asked cheerfully meanwhile Takeru only grinned back at Sumika before replied back half-jokingly at her.

"That's why I'm being referred as Silver Saviour not for nothing…" as soon as Takeru finished his reply, he was quickly running away from the fuming Sumika meanwhile Kasumi, Irina and Yuuko were only smiling over the whole sit-com happened right in front of them. It was when Yuuko's mind started to think about all new possibilities that might be existed now as she would definitely put the motion of the new Alternative IV into total success, as she glanced at another folder containing sensitive files and data delivered to Marimo Jinguuji by second lieutenant Lilia Kjellberg, the surviving member of USMC Black Knives squadron right after she along with the rest of Japanese and South Korean refuges arrived in Seattle.

"This time definitely, I would never sacrifice anybody anymore in order to bring mankind into the path of salvation…please watch over me…over us…Marimo…"

In the same time, at Imperial Royal Guards' second headquarter located in Hawaii…

"With this, I conclude my report…excellency general…" first lieutenant Seijyurou Makabe finished his report, as he took a little glance at his superior officer, general Ikaruga Takatsugu in decorated blue Imperial Guard uniform, as Ikaruga himself only smiled back at Seijyurou before dismissed him. "Good work first lieutenant Makabe, I assume everything now starting to move into a simultaneous movement then…" Ikaruga made his remark, as Seijyurou quickly nodded in agreement over his superior's statement while in the same time also displaying a slightly cunning looking smile on his face, similar to the smile that always appeared on Ikaruga's face.

"Excellency general, there is another report from first lieutenant Sanae Fujiwara in regards to shogun Yuuhi Koubuin sudden decision to conduct welfare visit at Tacoma and Seattle…do you think her action should be considered reckless as the situation is quite dire out there?" this time female red coated Imperial Royal Guard Eishi that happens to be identified as first lieutenant Maya Tsukuyomi asked, as Ikaruga quickly told her not to worry too much over it, or if Maya still worried, she could accompany shogun herself together with her three trusted and faithful vassals identified as three white coated Royal Guard Eishi that happens to be second lieutenant Yukino Tomoe, second lieutenant Kamiyo Tatsumi and second lieutenant Minagi Ebisu previously assigned under first lieutenant Mana Tsukuyomi at Alaska's Yukon Base, in which Maya quickly thanked Ikaruga for his kind offer and understanding.

It was unknown by Seijyurou, Maya and the rest of Royal Guard personnel that were present in the briefing chamber, Ikaruga was pleased over how the entire things turned out to be like what he already planned so far. In the end, he only need to put a single finishing touch and everything would be put into a perpetual motions and nothing could stop the gear of destiny from moving into whatever Ikaruga himself have had planned inside his secretive mind.

It was when he took a little glance at the ceiling of his briefing chamber while wondered if he should haste the motion by asking their assistance after all, although in the end he quickly dismissed such idea knowing the fact that it was still too early for them to make any appearances and being revealed to the public after all. It was when his glance brought him to a particular familiar individual from 16th Royal Guard Battalion in front of him.

Ikaruga smiled even more, as he realized that another existence that was arrived from "the other side" would finally brought him to even closer to the dream and ambition he was currently having at the moment. It was when he remembered that he already made pact with demons and agreeing the said demons to work together with him in order to fulfil his ambition. They were demons that came from "the other side" of the world itself, the place that was beyond our reach but for some reason strangely familiar and nostalgic to him as well as everyone else.

"A place that was so far yet so close…"

"The place of distant memories…"

"The shattered world…"
