The Next Day.

"I see, good...i'm leaving things up to you." Mizuchi said as he hang up his cellphone.

"So...what's the report from our spy?" Ripper asked Mizuchi.

"Terumi is on the move, he's making a attempt to obtain the Godslayer." Mizuchi said to Ripper.

"Heh, then it's almost time to make our move as well. Especially with our own Godslayer."

"Don't forget, we are looking for the Azure Gate. Not destroying the Master Unit." Mizuchi reminded Ripper.

"Yeah, yeah..." Ripper soon walks off to his room to get his gear.

"Now, let's see how this plays out..." Mizuchi spoke to himself, now anticipated to see how things will play out this time around.


"You want to take Noel to where now?" Kagami asked a NOL officer with a squirrel tail. He, Jaden, Yukino and Noel just went out to get some fresh air. (While Shinnosuke recovers from his 'trip')

"You can trust me. I'm her friend." The officer spoke in a recognizable voice to Noel.

"Oh yeah? I'll be the judge of that." Kagami said as he flashes his finger blades. He was going to attack the officer with a blade, but Noel stopped him.

"Makoto?"


Mizuchi soon teleported to a park with Kel beside him.

"So, we're looking for the Red devil?" Kel asked, which Mizuchi nodded.

"He'll be trouble if not taken care of..." Mizuchi said as he quickly side stepped out of the way of a electric ball. "So, you've shown up." Mizuchi said to the person as his eyes glowed blue.


Noel and Makoto soon arrived to the area Kokonoe ordered to go, except...

"Tager!" Makoto shouted as she saw Tager, badly damaged and wounded.

"Hmph, this isn't even a challenge." Mizuchi said with his foot on the Red Devil.

"You two...run..." Tager said before he got electrocuted by Kel.

"Tch, no wonder why Kokonoe sent you." Kel said as he kicked Tager on the head.

Makoto looked at Mizuchi, she couldn't explain it. But she felt power from the leader of the Brotherhood. A power that honestly terrified her, a power that gives him rights as a leader.

"..." Mizuchi soon raised his hand as eight red and black blades appeared. "Howl, Kusanagi!"


Back at the apartment, Kagami was getting a incredibility bad feeling, a feeling that never went away after he sent Noel with her friend to a safe place.

"So, you got that feeling too?" Jaden asked, now wearing a dark blue shirt, simple black pants and shoes.

"Yeah." Kagami said to Jaden.

"Well, let's go." Jaden said as he, Kagami and Yukino (who overheard them) went out the door.


Noel got up, holding her wounds. 'He's strong...' Noel thought to herself.

"..." Mizuchi was silent as his Kusanagi blades blocked each punch from Makoto until he increased her gravity and made Makoto collapse with a terrifying thud.

"This feeling...not to mention your look." Mizuchi said as he looked at Makoto. "You remind me of someone, someone during that one time..." Mizuchi soon picked up Makoto with gravity magic.

"You won't... get away from this." Makoto said as she attempts to use Big Bang Smash. "I already told you, it's useless." Mizuchi said as he held out his hand and actually held the fist back.

"What?" Makoto was shocked as she saw her distortion drive, held back by Mizuchi.

"How interesting." Mizuchi said as he moved his hand and destroyed the energy construct. "Now then." Mizuchi said as he points his Kusanagi blades at Makoto. "Di-" Mizuchi was interrupted by a explosion on the back of his head.

"..." Mizuchi tosses Makoto into a wall and looks at Noel and he started walking towards her. "I already have no use for you, your friend will be my key." Mizuchi said as he continues walking towards Noel.

"Wh- what have you done with Tsubaki?" Noel asked Mizuchi as she felt a incredible amount of weight bring her to her knees.

"She will help me open the gate, so I can have the power to destroy what he entrusted to the Master Unit all those years ago." Mizuchi spoke to Noel with his hands in his jacket pockets. "Unlike Terumi, or as you call him Hazama, i'm not remotely interested in the destruction of the Master Unit. Nor am I interested in this timeline's predicament, I only want to destroy what my master set out to destroy and get my revenge on the two people that killed him."

Makoto can be seen jumping in the air and is about to punch Mizuchi on the back.

"..." Mizuchi disappeared within a blink of a eye and appeared behind Makoto. "..." Mizuchi soon grabbed Makoto's tail and slammed her to the ground.

"..." Mizuchi soon turned his back at Noel, he figured that Makoto would probably recover in a couple of weeks. "That beastkin was...interesting" Mizuchi said to himself as he looked at his left hand.

Kel, who was watching the fight, noticed Noel was about to hit Mizuchi with her pistol from behind, but Mizuchi blocked the attack with one of his Kusanagi blades and turned to push her away.

"..." Mizuchi looked at Noel. "Hmph." Mizuchi said. "Your friend would be lucky if she survi-" Mizuchi was interrupted by lights coming off Noel's pistols.

"Tch! Those are limiters..." Kel said to himself as he cover his eyes.


Kagami heard a bell chime, several feet away and at a NOL building. "Kagami, did you hear what I just heard?" Jaden asked Kagami, which he nodded. "We need to move, now!" Kagami shouted and ran towards the NOL building. To him, this was kind of feeling like what happened during that day.


(Extra scene.)

Jonathan, along with Kirō, is currently working on upgrading the Es-n unit's armor.

"So..." Kirō said as she looks at Jonathan. "This Es character, who is she?"

"Well...she was a member of the same organization we used to work for. That damn traitor." Jonathan said with a scoff and explained the rest.

"Oh..." Kirō said, after hearing that.

"Tch, everything was going well for me. Unomaru sent me, his friend, to do some research. Except when that fateful day happened." Jonathan said with a sigh and drank some of the tea on the nearby table. "I...rather not talk about it." Jonathan added.

Kirō only nodded. She did hear about what happened.

Jonathan soon walked off, he soon wondered if Kirō was told about what Kagami did during that day.
