Episode 18

~ The King of Destruction (Part II) ~

Cold-hearted Truth


Mugino Shizuri was clicking her tongue in annoyance as remains of Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suits could be seen littered almost everywhere right in front of her. It was when her friends from ITEM in which happen to be no other than Saiai Kinuhata and Rikou Takitsubo were approaching her, as the later somehow also happens to not forgetting from poking on one of the Sol Tekkaman remain by using a short tree branch she had collected from somewhere before. "I thought our informant have told us on no hindrance will be appearing in front of us! That bitch! I'm so pissed now!" it was when Mugino was seen shouting, as she was letting out her usual curses and tantrum while both Kinuhata and Takitsubo were only smiling sheepishly as they saw the De facto leader of ITEM was slowly reverting back to her usual old personality, in which happens to be a good sign after all.

"I'm relieved to see Mugino have already slowly and steadily returning back to her usual self, since ever since on what was happening back then during the First Defensive War…she had been secretly blaming herself for what was happening to Frenda…" Takitsubo made her remark half-whispered meanwhile Kinuhata was quickly nodding back in agreement over the tallest ITEM's member in which standing next to her before replying back at Takitsubo's remark just before. "You're so ultra-correct Takitsubo-san…since thanks to your ultra-lame…uhm, I mean ultra-cool boyfriend, Mugino could start on picking herself back up again and reuniting us in order to honour Frenda's…" Kinuhata's reply was trailed off as she was quickly turning her head before ramming her right punch at the incoming Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suit in which happens to try on attacking Takitsubo and Mugino from their blind spots by using Sol Tekkaman's double-edged lance.

"Thanks Saiai…that was one close call after all…" Takitsubo gently thanked Kinuhata for her rescue back then, as it was the younger and shorter girl's ESP ability; Level 4 Offense Armour that happens to be proven lethal since it could reinforced her (Kinuhata's) punch by creating a few centimetres thick of solidified nitrogen and ramming the said punch to its target. In the meantime, although she had yet use it, Kinuhata was also capable to create full-body protection armour of super-compressed nitrogen on her surrounding as an absolute barrier against any type of incoming attacks ranged from high-velocity armour piercing ammunitions to even 120mm ammunitions in which commonly used by Tactical Surface Fighter (Senjutsuki) unit.

"No big deal Takitsubo-san, since it was happen to be ultra-easy to finish these guys off after all…" it was when Kinuhata pulled out her right fist from the gapping hole she just created on the Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suit in front of her as the said Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suit itself was seen fell motionless on the ground right in front of Kinuhata herself soon afterward. "Tsk! There is no end for these vermin after all! I am now starting to wonder if we really can find our objectives here after all…! Also, Takitsubo! How could you fail to detect their arrivals with your ability! Tsk, I'm so angry now!" Mugino was seen complaining once again, as she found herself facing another incoming Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suits in which happens to have their registration codes were forcibly removed in order to conceal their identities.

"You're being unreasonable Mugino, since Rikou's enhanced AIM Stalker ability isn't yet fully trained to track multiple non-Esper target at once…however it ultra-won't matter anymore, as our enemies are already here to give us ultra-warm homecoming party!" it was Kinuhata that happens to be the one replying on Mugino's complain, as the said number four Level 5 Esper Mugino Shizuri herself in which also happens to be infamously known as Meltdowner could only clicking her tongue in annoyance as soon as she heard Kinuhata's honest blunt reply just before. It was when Takitsubo stepped forward and standing right next to Mugino before muttering her usual short encouragement at the said ITEM's leader herself. "Don't worry…it's ok, I'll support you…" Takitsubo finished her encouragement as she tried to give Mugino her sincerest reassuring smile, in which Mugino bashfully accepted albeit still complaining over it in the same time as well.

"Here they come! Mugino! Takitsubo-san! Ultra-focus for now!" Kinuhata's warning soon could be heard echoing across the soon would be demolished Josefov town quarter, as she leaped in front of both Mugino and Takitsubo before readying both of her fists in order to welcome the incoming unregistered Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suits in front of her (them). However before Mugino could even have any chances to use her Meltdowner ability in which happens on converting electrons into unstable destructive matter in a state between particles, plasma and waves; a pair of metallic white and dark-grey knightmare frames could be seen leaping in front of Mugino, Takitsubo and even Kinuhata herself as they started to rain the incoming Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suits in front of them with hails of 36mm ballistic ammunitions from their respective assault rifles.

"Wooow! That's surely ultra-cool since I never expect to see Type-01/C Byakuen and Type-01 Gurren Type-01 to work in tandem ever since the defense of Hong Kong city from the encroaching ultra-dangerous and ultra-cruel World Liberation Front's forces that happens to be ultra-financially backed by COG…" Kinuhata made her remark, as she was only staring in awe over the pair of knightmare frame units in front of her.

"Tsk! I never ask any help from Peace Mark and they were just happen on butting their asses to our business! Damn it! For some reason I'm so angry now!" it was when Mugino started to scratch her head by using her right hand before also mercilessly raining the remaining incoming Sol Tekkaman Type-B units in front of her by using multiple particle plasma beam attacks in which enhanced as well as even more multiplied thanks to the silicon card in which she had been using just now. "Mugino…your right, nine o'clock…" Takitsubo was seen on keeping Mugino well informed over the enemies' movement this time around, as she swiftly warned her team leader over the incoming Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suit in which trying to attack Mugino from her blind spot.

"Who told you that you could move, you goddamn forsaken fucktard!" once again, with rage-filled tantrum, Mugino was seen pouring the unfortunate Sol Tekkaman Type-B unit itself with tens to hundreds particle plasma beams attack in which instantly turned the said powered suit into a beehive. "That's scary…as it seems you girls were never change aren't you…?" it was when the devicer (pilot) of an ironically metallic dark-grey coloured Gurren Type-01 made his remark, as he was seen waving his knightmare frame's right hand at the three ITEM's members behind him. "We are always be the same ITEMs you have been knowing mister Ze, since we believe it would be ultra-better for us to keep on doing so…" it was when Kinuhata was seen replying back at the Gurren Type-01's devicer's remark just before, as the said devicer in which happens to be referred as one of Peace Mark's veteran operative; Ze Dien could only letting out a small chuckle since he had been noticing Kinuhata's slightly tint blush all over her cheeks even after the twelve years old Level 4 Esper herself tried to hide it behind her usual mellowed personality.

"That's a relieve then…since I heard many things were happening on the First Defensive War's final days, and I'm happy to see you all still together to do the same stuff like what you girls have been usually done in the past…still, I feel that I was forgetting someone for some reason…" it was Ze Dien's another honest and sincerest reply that happens to struck Kinuhata, Takitsubo and (especially) Mugino hard on their hearts, as this particular certain someone were happens to be a constant reminder for ITEM's failure, imminent death and resurrection afterward. For Mugino herself, this particular certain someone was also happen to be the very foundation that strengthen her resolve to amend herself and becoming a better trustworthy leader for ITEM post-First Defensive War and Purge of Blood itself. In the meantime this certain someone was also becoming a strong driving force that would motivate both Kinuhata and Takitsubo together with the new ITEM's fourth member (Takitsubo's ultra-cool boyfriend) Hamazura Shiage to strive on making ITEM as a better place in which they could proudly claim to be their home. A warm home that Kinuhata, Takitsubo, Mugino and Hamazura Shiage's precious deceased friend; Frenda Seibern always long and dream to be having.

"Tsk! Damn it! This is not the time for us to be moping around like this, since we still have job that need to be done!" it was when Mugino decided to scold both Takitsubo and Kinuhata in order to make the two of them remember on how they were still need to complete this particular mission unless they want to tarnish Frenda's dream after all. It was when both Takitsubo and Kinuhata were quickly nodding back in agreement before smiling at their leader, as the three of them starting to renew their assaults against another incoming waves of Sol Tekkaman Type-B armies in front of them. In the meantime both Ze Dien and the enigmatic Byakuen's devicer; Orpheus Zevon decided to quietly assist these three ITEM's members on fighting against the incoming Sol Tekkaman armies as per-agreement of contract Peace Mark have been signing with Academy City's board directors right after the conclusion of the First Defensive War, although in the same time as well; both Ze and Orpheus were indeed genuinely care over these three Esper girls' wellbeing after all.

It was one-sided slaughter, as the combining might of both ITEM's members and Peace Mark's best operatives were proven to be no match against the incoming Sol Tekkaman Type-B armies in which supposedly to be retaining similar power output and combat performance of Blade; the original Primary Body or Tekkaman unit in which happen to be recovered around ten years prior Break The World itself back in another certain parallel world out there. However, before both ITEM and Peace Mark could score a total victory against these unregistered Sol Tekkaman Type-B armies in front of them, a lone mysterious female figure leaped right in front of those aforementioned Sol Tekkaman Type-B powered suits armies while skilfully deflecting Mugino's particle plasma beams by using a mere seemingly ordinary Naginata glaive.

"What is this kind of ultra-unbelievable development that happens right in front of us…? Surely, this is not some kind of ultra-unrealistic martial artist character from those ultra-violence and ultra-sexualised wuxia movies I have been watching after all…" Kinuhata muttered alone inside her heart, as she was readying her Offense Armour to cover her entire petite body with six centimetres thick of solidified nitrogen barrier before also trying to engage the said incoming mysterious Naginata-wielded female opponent in lethal hand-to-hand close combat quarter. It was when the said mysterious female opponent started to spun her Naginata before readying her stance as well meanwhile Kinuhata, Takitsubo and Mugino started to have a glimpse clearer look on the said mysterious female opponent's appearance in front of them after a beautiful crimson full-moon over Prague's cloudless sky started to illuminate the previously dark Josefov rundown district itself.

"Oni…?" was the first word that happens to came out from Takitsubo's mouth, as the said mysterious female opponent in front of her were happens to be wearing a silver samurai Oni-mask in which keeping the upper part of her face completely hidden. Another features in which Takitsubo, Kinuhata, Mugino, Ze and Orpheus were happen to realize was a purple kimono with viola motifs in which their mysterious opponent happens to wear as well.

"Tsk! I heard Railgun and everyone else was happen to face Oni-masked opponent back during Izu Base's incident around two weeks ago…so, it seems the very same enemy from the one that causing so much ruckus back in Izu Base happen to be the one that gave us a lot of trouble here as well!" Mugino was only letting out her displeased remark, as she was trying to resist an urge to try on cutting this Oni-masked female warrior in front of her into half by using her Meltdowner ability on its maximum power output. It was when Takitsubo decided to correct Mugino's wrong assumption just before by informing her over the identity of this particular Oni-masked enemy were happens to be different from the one that Misaka "Railgun" Mikoto and the rest of Special Duty Section 6's operatives were facing back in Izu Base around two weeks ago.

"The Oni, the one that appeared in Izu Base is similar to samurai warrior… meanwhile this one is more close to an old Heian fairytale's yōkai similar to rokurokubi or…uhm, snake-woman…" Takitsubo finished her explanation, as once again she gave Mugino her weary lethargic smile in which the said ITEM's leader herself grudgingly admitted that her said tallest best friend's description was indeed accurate and correct somehow. "Mugino, Takitsubo! Let me ultra-try to attack this snake woman!" it was when Kinuhata made her remark, as she leaped toward the mysterious Oni-masked female Naginata wielder in front of her before she threw her Offense Armour reinforced punches at her opponent's Oni-mask covered face. Once again however, Kinuhata found her opponent easily deflected her punches before forcing the said youngest ITEM's member to halt her relentless assault by smashing the tip of her Naginata's blade on Kinuhata's solar plexus, throwing her away for several metres in the process.

Kinuhata was indeed lucky, as her Offense Armour ability happens to protect her by neutralizing most (if not all) of the said Naginata's impact on her abdomen area and was saving her from sustaining life-threatening injury afterward. "Takitsubo-san …are you alright…?" Kinuhata asked, as she kneeled beside Kinuhata in which winced slightly in pain and coughed several times. "I'm fine…although that kind of attack is definitely ultra-surprise me…" Kinuhata replied back at Takitsubo's question just before, as the said tallest ITEM's member was quickly tried to help her youngest best friend to stood back on her feet by using her left shoulder to support Kinuhata's staggered body. In the meantime both Orpheus and Ze Dien were also trying to mount their assaults against this mysterious Oni-masked female Naginata wielder in front of them, although she once again forced the two Peace Mark's best devicers to retreat, as they found all of their attacks have been futile against her after all.

"Who the hell are you really!?" it was when the very pissed Mugino decided to ask the said mysterious Oni-masked female Naginata wielder over her identity, as she was only gave the said ITEM's De facto leader herself a playful evil grin before answering back to Mugino's question just before. "I am no-name…however, since you're insist to call me the top performer here with proper name rather than you or hey, I shall introduce myself as Sadamitsu…!" it was when the said mysterious Oni-masked female Naginata wielder in the end finished from introducing her name as Sadamitsu, Mugino was seen taking a long deep breath and sighed afterward while staring at her opponent with disinterested looking eyes.

"I don't give a damn shit if you are shameless enough to refer yourself as top performer or just a mere clown, as soon enough you will pay for hurting Kinuhata by your blood and life!" it was as soon as Mugino finished her sentence, she threw her silicon card before using it as a catalyst to enhance the firepower of her particle plasma beam attacks while in the same time dispersing it into several tens to hundreds smaller particle plasma beams in which assaulting Sadamitsu simultaneously. "Interesting! Very interesting indeed! Although I will teach you that you are nothing more than an insect that would soon be crushed away under my feet!" it was when Sadamitsu finished her own taunting at Mugino Shizuri in front of her before she spun her Naginata glaive in order to deflect the incoming particle plasma beam attacks in front of her, as both of them in which representing science side and orthodox magic side once again clashed to bring each other down with all of their might as well as to their hearts' content.

On the next morning, as Earth Spheres United Nations' annual summit is currently progressing underway…

Special Duty Section 6's commander; lieutenant colonel Hayate Yagami was only remain quiet as she carefully listened on Republic of India's representative in which happen to be giving a speech over his own country progress on the development in science and prosperity sector post-Break The World, while in the same time also not forgetting to exaggerate the said aforementioned information/ facts as well. Even thought his speech happens to be totally unrelated to what Hayate was looking forward to hear from this meeting, she already made her decision to keep on listening to the said speech in order to respect the said speaker himself as well as to have a better understanding on how the remnant of her younger boyfriend's old world act in political arena after all. It was when she took a notice on how her current companion in which happen to be seated on the right side next to her decided to contact her personally via telepathic message in order not to disturb the entire summit's progress.

"Hayate, what do you think about his speech in overall…? It was quite a nice and inspiring speech after all isn't it…? Although in the same time, I couldn't help to think some of those facts he was just mentioning before were happen to be exaggerated…" it was when Hayate couldn't help from letting out a small chuckle, as she heard her current companion in which also happens to be her best friend as well was happen to be expressing her thought over what she just heard from the said Republic of India's representative in front of her (them) in a very honest and sincerest way.

"You're right na Fate-chan…since I believe most people from Ave's old world were always love to exaggerate almost literally everything in order to make themselves look better than others…at least that's what I heard from him a while ago na…" Hayate was also replying back at Fate's remark just before telepathically in slightly playful tone as well, as the said companion of her in which happens to be no other than ace Enforcer Fate Testarossa Harlaown was only smiling awkwardly before nodding back in affirmative as well afterward. "Still, to think that we have to hear these kind of reports from every single representatives with an exception of those that happen to be permanent members of ESUN's high-councils until this afternoon would be proven quite challenging after all na…since I believe admiral Leti and admiral Lindy over there would reprimand me soon enough if I start to use the word boring to describe it na…a, ha, ha, ha…" it was when Hayate once again decided to express her thought over the current speaker half-jokingly, as Fate herself on the other hand was only smiling back at the Queen of the Night Sky herself before replying back at her (Hayate's) remark just before telepathically as well.

"I personally think…it was quite interesting to hear this kind of report since I believe it would be proven useful for us Enforcers when we need to solve any cases that would require vast understanding on any countries or societies' cultural behaviour and geo-political situation after all…moreover since I personally still need to learn a lot more in regards to these remnants of Ave's old world…this kind of opportunity were definitely happen to be a blessing in disguise as well after all…uhm, even though I admit that our speaker in front of us were happen to be already starting on exaggerating his reports by blowing it out of proportion by now…" as soon as Fate finished from replying at Hayate's remark telepathically, the said Queen of the Night Sky herself was only smiling wryly while nodding in agreement at the said ace Enforcer that was also happen to share the same sentiment to her as well.

Hayate was then turning her attention at major general (knight) Carim Gracia in which also happen to represent both Time-Space Administration Bureau as well as the Church of the Saint King was asking another question over the military infrastructure for Republic of India post-Break The World, since as part of Earth Spheres United Nations' country member, it was compulsory for Republic of India to posses an adequate local military force in order to protect its own country from any possible threats such as DAMON's attacks. Unfortunately again, most countries in which happen to be considered remnants from a certain young Time Diver/ wishful fanfic author's old world were always happen to be depending on ESUN's peacekeeping forces that happen to be stationed within their countries border for protection albeit ESUN have already happen to be allocating a large amount of fund/ capital to strengthen those aforementioned remnants' local military/ security force.

Unfortunately, as far as Hayate could remember from what her younger boyfriend have been previously telling her, with an exception of former first world remnants such as United States of Australia, Former Czech Republic and Unified Republic of Korea, any other second and third world remnants were still happen to struggle on overcoming the very same issue in which happens to prevent them from catching up with their first world remnant counterparts. "Corruption and nepotism…even though ESUN have already tried their best to uproot these problematic issues that happen to plague second and third world remnants…I do understand on how in reality it wasn't easy to do so…moreover after such bad habits becoming part of their daily life after all…" Hayate muttered alone under her breath, as she was still secretly glancing at her eldest sister's figure; knight Carim Gracia in which happens to listen at the Republic of India's representative's another excuse after excuses over what seemingly happens to be another possible embezzlement of ESUN's security aid fund, as the said Church of the Saint King's head director/ superintendent herself was also happen to take several important notes while carefully listening at the aforementioned excuses just before.

"Not as simple as you previously thought isn't it Hayate-chan…?" it was when Hayate almost jumped in surprise as she heard another telepathic message happens to be echoing within her mind as it was also teasing her for being innocent over the entire political manoeuvring done by those remnants from this newborn tertiary world itself. As the said Queen of the Night Sky turned her attention to the original source of the said telepathic message, she saw Certain Magical and Scientific-universe's Anglican church's archbishop Laura Stuart was only smiling innocently at her while not forgetting from secretly waving her right hand as well. "Archbishop Stuart…we're in the middle of important summit at the moment…so please refrain yourself…I mean ourselves from conversing privately since it would unintentionally disrespecting our speaker…" calmly Hayate gave the younger-looking female archbishop Laura Stuart in which happens to be seated on the second-row seat from the back her reply, as she was also frowning at Laura herself in the same time.

"Oh my…I though you were having a nice friendly conversation together with Enforcer Testarossa Harlaown just before, so I decided to say hi…uhm, unfortunately I only make you feel guilty and uncomfortable somehow…I'm sorry commander Hayate Yagami-chan…fu, fu, fu…although, as a token of my apology to you…I would like to inform you on how you might find our next speaker to be a lot more interesting after all…please enjoy…" playfully Laura decided to respond on Hayate's reply just before while not forgetting from giving the said Queen of the Night Sky her mischievous smile as well soon afterward. Hayate on the other hand was only took another long deep breath and letting out a small sigh as she found archbishop Laura Stuart was purposely trying to distract her attention while in the same time providing her with another possible insight on what might be happening next.

It was when the Queen of the Night Sky herself found archbishop Laura Stuart's action was happen to be indeed mysterious after all, as she was later on decided to try on putting a little trust on the said archbishop's words over what might be happening next albeit taking a very careful approach over it as well in the same time.

"Hayate, is there anything matter…? Did archbishop Stuart was trying to harass you again…?" it was when Hayate found Fate started to ask her over what was happening between archbishop Laura Stuart and the said Queen of the Night Sky herself, as she was indeed concerned over any possible misconduct or blackmailing act that might have been done by the aforementioned sly female archbishop herself. It was when Hayate was only laughing sheepishly before she shook her head gently and replying back at Fate's question just before. "Nothing really that bad na Fate-chan…since she was happen to be nice enough to inform me on how our next speaker would proven interesting after all…moreover, I don't think archbishop Laura Stuart would be careless enough to pick a fight with Special Duty Section 6, since it would only damage her reputation if she decided to do so na…so please don't worry too much Fate-chan, although I'm happy to hear you being concerned over my safety and wellbeing after all tee hee…" this time around Hayate decided to gave Fate her reassuring reply while in the same time not forgetting from teasing the supposedly shy ace Enforcer herself afterward.

Fate was only blushing slightly in embarrassment as soon as she heard Hayate's playful teasing just before, although she decided to quickly returning her focus back to the annual summit in front of her. Hayate in the meantime was only smiling alone as she saw her best friend's reaction while in the same time not forgetting herself from once again thanking Fate for the said concern she was just expressing to her before, as the said ace Enforcer Fate Testarossa Harlaown herself was only nodding back happily at Hayate herself before telling her to not mention it since they were friends after all. It was when the second speaker in which happens to be Britannia Union's empress Euphemia Li Britannia starting to deliver her speech as soon as the Republic of India's representative returned back on his seat with anger and embarrassment meanwhile both Hayate and Fate were happen to caught a glimpse look on archbishop Laura Stuart's sinister grin before her voice started to echo within the said Queen of the Night Sky and ace Enforcer's heads soon afterward.

"Here when all the fun finally begin commander Hayate Yagami-chan and Enforcer Testarossa Harlaown-chan, since they would soon realize over the fact on there will be an awakening to every single dream after all…"

Tsukimura Group's certain undisclosed factory in the meantime…

"So how is it Ave-san…? What do you think over the enhancement that Eins-oneechan and I myself have just made to your Gesterben…? Pretty interesting isn't it desu…?" Reinforce Zwei asked, as she was happen to take a sneak peek on the said Personal Trooper's cockpit hatch in which happen to be left open by the said young Enforcer Ave J.C Takamachi himself. "To be honest Rein…I find this kind of enhancement is indeed very impressive, as only you and Reinforce have been successfully reassembling my Gesterben within the designated timeframe…also, by integrating the spare parts we obtained from Project EX's additional modules combined to left-over parts of Assault Dragoon series unit…I find this Gesterben Custom becoming even more powerful and formidable than before…moreover, this kind of enhancement indeed fitting my combat style and…" thankfully, before Ave started to give the poor Reinforce Zwei in front of him another non-stop fanboyish explanation, his beloved adopted niece decided to gave him another scolding in order to make the said young Enforcer stopped himself from doing so.

"Mou, Ave-nii! I know that you are very thrilled to try this RPT-007S-ET/1C in action! But don't forget that we're still need to get ready for having our brunch since if something bad indeed happening afterward, we won't be marching to the battlefield with empty stomach!" it was when Vivio finished her scolding as she also frowned at the said adoptive older brother/ uncle in front of her as well in the same time before Ave was seen quickly clasping both of his hands in order to perform an apologetic Buddha gesture since he was happen to fear Vivio's wrath after all. "I'm sorry Vivio! I promise that I will try this Gesterben Custom all by myself without letting the poor Rein to be caught in my fanboyism antic from now on…so please forgive me and don't let your beloved Nanoha-mama know about this, okay! Okay!" as soon as Ave tried to pacify his beloved adoptive niece in front of him, Vivio herself was only took another long deep breath before letting out a small sigh in disbelief as she glanced at Reinforce Zwei in which happen to be laughing awkwardly as she witness the whole situation-comedic routine in front of her.

"Meister Ave, young lady Vivio, Rein…lady Nanoha and miss Nove have been asking me to inform you that our breakfast-lunch have been ready…in the meantime young lady Heidi Einhalt Stratos Ingvalt was also in particular asking me to let young lady Vivio know over the mint-chocolate cookies that she have just made especially for her was also happen to be ready as well…" it was when Reinforce Eins was seen entering the hangar area as she was informing Ave, Reinforce Zwei and Vivio over the breakfast-lunch (brunch) that happens to be ready as well. In the meantime Vivio was only blushing slightly in embarrassment as soon as she heard Reinforce Eins have been mentioning over certain mint-chocolate flavoured cookies that Einhalt happens to bake especially for her was also ready right in front of Ave and Reinforce Zwei, since the said young Saint King's clone herself was definitely aware on how her adoptive older brother/ uncle would definitely be teasing her over this thing soon afterward as a payback for what she have just done to him in regards to his fanboyism antic over his new toy; the Personal Trooper Gesterben Custom itself.

"We will be there shortly Reinforce and thanks for informing us about it though…meanwhile I believe Vivio is definitely couldn't help herself from wanting to try her beloved Einhalt-chan's mint-chocolate flavoured cookies as soon as possible…since cookies definitely taste better when they were baked with love, am I right Vivio…?"

It was when Vivio coughed in surprise while soon enough she quickly darted her glare at the said older young Enforcer in front of her. "Ave-nii!" Vivio shouted furiously in embarrassment meanwhile both Reinforce Eins and Reinforce Zwei were only laughing at both Ave and Vivio in which happen to be engaged in another friendly teasing and quarrel that was indeed often happening between the two of them after all. It was when Reinforce Zwei decided to ask her eldest sister unrelated question as the two of them were still enjoying themselves from watching both Ave and Vivio's aforementioned friendly teasing and quarrel just before.

"Eins-oneechan…it is quite unusual for Rein to see you wearing glasses desu…is something special were just happening desu…?" innocently Reinforce Zwei decided to ask Reinforce Eins over the metallic azure blue coloured frame glasses she have been wearing, as the said first generation Reinforce herself was only smiling back at her beloved youngest sister before answering back to the said question Reinforce Zwei gave her just before. "There is nothing special that happens to prompt me on wearing my glasses Rein, although I sometimes do wear them when I read something in order to help me speed-reading on meister Ave's reference materials that always happen to be enormous after all…" as soon as Reinforce Eins finished her reply while also not forgetting from smiling gently at her youngest sister in front of her as well, the said youngest sister of her; Reinforce Zwei was only blushing slightly before nodding back in understanding and agreement soon afterward.

It was when Reinforce Zwei herself decided to admit on how her eldest sister; Reinforce Eins was indeed look more mature, prettier and elegant while wearing her glasses as her current attire in which happen to be consisting of a black turtleneck sleeveless sweater and pure white miniskirt combined with a pair of long black stockings and limited edition Strega sport shoes in equally pure white colour when being compared to her aforementioned miniskirt just before were only indeed happen to be enhancing the already mature, gentle and elegant aura she was possessing within her after all. Again Reinforce Zwei was definitely feel very proud for having such beautiful, gentle and elegant eldest sister in which happens to love her dearly as well, as to the very end she would definitely have someone to look upon as well as a very ideal figure to be strive for.

However before Reinforce Zwei could even make another remark in regards to her eldest sister's current attire and appearance, Shari was seen entering the hangar area and starting to scold everyone else since the said device meister herself together with Nanoha, Nove and Einhalt were already been waiting for everyone's arrival in the dinning area. It was when Reinforce Zwei together with Reinforce Eins herself, Vivio and Ave quickly apologized to the said device meister Shario Finieno for making her together with Nanoha, Nove and Einhalt waiting quite long for their arrival after all. Shari on the other hand was only took another long deep breath and sighed before once again inviting Reinforce Eins, Reinforce Zwei, Vivio and Ave to have breakfast-lunch together with Nanoha, Nove, Einhalt and Shari herself meanwhile the aforementioned four stooges (cough…cough) in which consist of Reinforce Eins, Reinforce Zwei, Vivio and Ave (laugh) themselves delightfully accepting the said device meister's invitation just before.

As they started to leave the hangar area behind, Ave was seen stopping his step midway as he turned back to take a quick glance over his upgraded Personal Trooper RPT-007S-ET/1C Gesterben Custom while later on muttering alone inside his heart. "Even though I should feel reassured for finally having my Gesterben to be upgraded with additional firepower…I don't know why for some unknown reason, I was having this kind of bad feeling swelling inside my chest ever since this morning…perhaps it is happen to be another premonition for any impending crisis that might soon be happening afterward…?" it was when Ave finished from expressing his enquiry within his own inner monologue, as he later on noticed on how his faithful unison device; Reinforce Eins was also happen to halt her step as well before staring at him with a concerned look all over her face.

"Meister Ave, is there anything wrong…? Something seems to be troubling you for some reason…" as Reinforce Eins decided to ask her beloved surrogate Lord in front of her with concerned look displayed all over her face, Ave decided to just smiling back at the said first generation Reinforce unison device in front of him before replying back at her question just before as well. "I might have just being paranoid over what will be happening from now on Reinforce…since I believe there should be nothing to worry about since you as well as everyone else will be there with me after all…sorry for making you worrying about me as I promise that I would never let this kind of paranoia to haunt me again in the future…probably…" as Ave finished his reply while apologizing at Reinforce Eins as well in the same time, the said older first generation Reinforce unison device in front of him was only shook her head gently before replying back at her beloved surrogate Lord's reply and apology just before.

"Please don't blame yourself for such fear since even I were also happen to have it within my heart meister Ave…however one thing that I could promise you now, no matter on what happened…I will be there for you together with my master Hayate, Rein and everyone else…since we have made our promise back then to always be on your side in order to help and support you…regardless to anything that will be happening as well as any adversaries that might oppose us…so, please don't worry too much and keep your head high meister Ave…while keep on marching forward with pride in your heart…" it was when Reinforce Eins finally finished her reply, as she was also smiling at the said younger Enforcer himself right after she was voicing her encouragement as well.

"Thanks Reinforce…and also, please take a good care of me from now on…" Ave replied back while he was also not forgetting himself from smiling sheepishly at Reinforce Eins in front of him, as the said first generation Reinforce unison device herself was only nodding back in affirmative while smiling as well in the same time.

"Eins-san! Ave-nii! We are all waiting for you! Mou!" it was when Vivio's voice could be heard echoing across the hangar section of Tsukimura Group's undisclosed factory, as both Ave and Reinforce Eins were only staring at each others' faces before simultaneously letting out a small giggle as well. "Shall we get going Reinforce? Since I believe it would be really bad for us if we starting to upset Vivio in the end…honestly, she was happen to be pretty cheeky to me lately for some unknown reason…" Ave made his suggestion as he held Reinforce Eins' right hand in order to help her from climbing the metal ladder that would led them to the dinning area. Reinforce Eins herself in the meantime was only blushing slightly, as soon as she realized on how her gentle surrogate Lord was happen to be holding her right hand and gently squeeze it as if he was holding her beloved master Hayate Yagami's right hand during their dates as well as several occasions in the past up until now as well.

It was when Reinforce Eins couldn't help herself from smiling alone, as she fully understood on how she was happen to also love her surrogate Lord since the entire affection, emotion, and feeling in which her beloved master Hayate Yagami happens to experience were equally shared to her and Reinforce Zwei as well due to the peculiar unique connection they were having with the Tome of the Night Sky. In the meantime however, both Reinforce Eins and Reinforce Zwei were also later on starting to develop their own feeling and affection toward the said young Enforcer himself, as the two of them were definitely only wish for Ave and Hayate's happiness over anything else in this world. It was when Reinforce Eins was only whispering a soft gentle voice that happens to be her sincerest token of gratitude in which originated from the said first generation Blessed Wind's gentle heart.

"Meister Ave…thank you…"

"Rein…? Did you just say something…?" Ave asked, as Reinforce Eins was only smiling back at her surrogate Lord before she shook her head gently afterward. "No meister Ave, so please don't stop from keep on moving forward with pride in your heart, as I will be watching over your back…" as soon as Reinforce Eins finished from replying back at Ave's question just before, the said young Enforcer Ave J.C Takamachi himself was only smiling back in return before nodding in agreement as well and keep on moving forward confidently in an accordance to his faithful unison device's sincerest wish. It was when Ave decided to also expressing his sincerest gratitude, as he was softly whispering the said gratitude from the bottom of his sincerest heart as well afterward.

"Reinforce…thank you…"

Back to Earth Spheres United Nations' summit, approximately one and half hours later, during one-hour long lunch break…

"I don't think you should be worrying too much about this venue's security Julia…since some people I know from Bracer Guild were also reinforcing the said security of this venue as well…" Liberl Kingdom's young queen Claudia von Auslese in which previously happens to identified as Kloze Rinz was only replying back at her personal bodyguard; captain Julia Schwarz of Liberl Kingdom's royal guard meanwhile Julia herself was only took another long deep breath before letting out a heavy sigh in disbelief over her queen's possible gullible carelessness. "I understand that you might have been putting a lot of faith over the entire security forces of this venue your highness, however…I still believe the entire security of this place is never happen to be foolproof to begin with after all…as, out of the entire people in which guarding this place…I believe the most competent one to overcome any sudden emergency situation might happen to be miss Miyuki Takamachi herself…" as soon as Julia finished from voicing her concern while trying to argue at the young queen Claudia's seemingly gullible carelessness just before, the said young queen of Liberl Kingdom and Commonwealth Nations herself was only smiling back gently before replying at her personal bodyguard's argument just before.

"I'm happy that you were happen to worry over my safety Julia, although I believe you were definitely also remember on how you have been teaching me on how to defend myself if anything bad happens to be occurring after all…again, please don't worry too much as I believe only someone that happen to be foolish enough might be having a delusional idea to attack…" unfortunately before young queen Claudia von Auslese could even finish her reply, a huge explosion could be heard erupting from the hallway located on the right wing's area of the said Prague's City Hall itself. It was when panic ensued as people started on screaming here and there meanwhile other representatives in which happen to have been experiencing even worse situations before in their respective battlefields such as The Free City of Greede's mayor; Caesar Drisdall in which happens to be the pactmaker of Dragon Knight Larvayne and Principality of Gallia's archduchess Cordelia gi Randgriz as well as ambassador Nunnally vi Britannia decided to help the outnumbered security personnel on evacuating the remaining guests and representatives to the nearby anti-bomb shelter.

"Your highness, we need to evacuate ourselves as well!" Julia shouted, as she was pulling Claudia's right hand in order to lead her beloved young queen to the nearby anti-bomb shelter as well amidst of the said young queen's protest. Unfortunately however, before both Julia and young queen Claudia herself could even started for having another argument, a lone mysterious assassin that happens to be wearing long black hooded cloak could be seen moving toward the two of them with inhuman lightning speed movement. It was when Julia's eyes went wide in disbelief as the said mysterious lone assassin was seen leaping toward her beloved young queen Claudia von Auslese herself before unsheathing both of his dual swords with a definite intention to assassinate the said Liberl Kingdom's young queen herself.

"Your highness!" Julia shouted, as her face went pale in horror as the said mysterious black hooded assassin was finally arrive right in front of the young queen Claudia herself before swiftly burying his dual swords at the said young queen's chest soon afterward. Everything seems to be happening almost instantly, as the young queen Claudia von Auslese could be seen fell motionless on the City Hall's marble floor while leaving the pool of blood to start on forming around her death body afterward.

…Or so it should have been.

Instead of falling to her own demise, Claudia swiftly activates her protective barrier by using her fifth generation tactical Orbment; Epstein Enigma version.6.0.2 in which happens to be reconfigured for both offensive and defensive purpose by combining water elemental quartz together and mirage elemental quartz in order to protect herself from her assailant's blades. As the said mysterious lone assassin happens to be distracted, Julia swiftly unsheathing her rapier in order to combat him since he was happens for trying on assassinating her beloved young queen right in front of her eyes. In the meantime, even though she was still showing her cool, calm and calculative persona on her face, Julia was actually boiling in anger deep down inside her heart as she promised herself to make sure this foolish assassin pay dearly for his attempt on taking Claudia's life under her watchful eyes.

Unfortunately the twist of fate was always happen to cruel after all, since after exchanging several blows, deflecting and parrying each other blades, Julia successfully rip the said mysterious assassin's hood by using her rapier as certain familiar face was soon being revealed in front of her as well as her beloved young queen Claudia von Auslese herself afterward. It was when with her trembling voice; Claudia tried to reach out at the said mysterious assassin in front of her, as her pleading sad eyes were met with the assassin's beautiful yet emotionless amber coloured eyes soon afterward. As the said mysterious assassin decided to retreat after failing his mission from assassinating Liberl Kingdom's young queen Claudia von Auslese herself, Julia could only hear a sad painful cry from her beloved queen, as she was screaming out of her lungs at the supposedly mysterious assassin's name in which happens to be very familiar and dear to Julia herself as well.

"Wait! Don't go! Joshua-san! Please don't go! JOSHUAAAAAA!"
