Episode 19
~ Frozen Teardrop (Part III) ~
Dear My Friends
Academy City's east coastal side, on the border of Mitakihara City…
"Oneesama! Those demon beast things would be running away if you don't make it to the designated point as soon as possible…well, I should be there to help you Oneesama, rather than leaving you working with those two…" Shirai Kuroko made her remark, as she was sighed meanwhile from her bluetooth device, the Level 4 Teleporter of Tokiwadai Middle-School could hear Misaka's growled voice. "Ah! Shut up Kuroko! It's not that easy even for me! Damn it! Why those two can move really fast anyway!" Tokiwadai's ace, Level 5 Electromaster that was known as Misaka "Railgun" Mikoto only retorted back at Kuroko's remark before using her electric ability to create magnetic trajectory in order to reach higher ground and catch up with her two companions.
"What happened Shirai-san, you got scolded by Misaka-san again?" Uiharu Kazari asked, as she took a seat nearby Kuroko and busy typing something on her portable computer (laptop). "Well, nah…it's not like that Uiharu…it just Oneesama maybe feel her pride being crushed slightly after knowing there are so many people with powerful abilities above her…ever since Break The World happened back then…" Kuroko sighed, as she leaned her body on the nearby wall meanwhile Uiharu stopped her work for a while and stared at her best friend before replying back over Kuroko's comment.
"But it can't be helped Shirai-san, since many realities from many different worlds were mixed into one, we should be able to accept such change…moreover, if we want to look on the brighter side, don't you think all of us were reaping quite heap of benefits from Break The World incident?" Uiharu finished her reply, as she smiled at Kuroko that only scratched her head before replying back after took a glance over Anti-Skill refurbished KMF Type-10R Burai ala Britannia Union's Knightpolice, as well as three RPT-005 Wildschwein M (Preliminary Mass Production Model) given by Mao Industry for goodwill gesture and mutual cooperation as well as understanding with Academy City's administrative. "I suppose you're right…especially during the battle against God's Right Seat that supporting both Imperial Alliance and later on World Liberation Front back then, our new allies as well as their technology definitely gave us more advantages to seize our victory…" Kuroko chuckled as she grinned at Uiharu in agreement, as the said Level 1 Thermal Hand user (Esper) herself quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yo! You two seems having a lot of free time at the moment! Want to go together to Seven Mist together?" Saten Ruiko arrived as she in the same time changed the music track on her I-pod into the famous new single released by former Zwei-Wing's member Kazanari Tsubasa known as Flight Feathers. "We're in the middle of mission Saten-san…mou, our job as Judgment members aren't as easy and relaxing as you thought…" Uiharu pouted, as she glared at Saten with a bit disappointment look on her face. "Aha, ha, ha, ha! Gomen! Gomen! I thought you guys are just loitering around…by the way what kind of mission U~I~H~A~R~U…" playfully Saten replied back as in the progress flipping her best friend's skirt. Uiharu in the meantime could only freeze in shock and speechless meanwhile Kuroko only took a deep breath and sighed.
"How immodest…"
"Oho…! This time is polka dots!" Saten exclaimed in victory, before Uiharu screamed at her with all of her might. "SATEN-SAN! What do you think you are doing!?" Uiharu screamed as loud as she could possibly do, although her usual cute, shy and meek personality still made her really cute even when she was angry. At least that was what the Level 0 Aero Hand user Ruiko Saten thought inside her mind. "Gomen Uiharu…everytime I see you, I just couldn't help myself from doing it…yah, such thing never get really old isn't it…" Saten laughed sheepishly, as she replied back at Uiharu that was still blushed in embarrassment and in the verge of tears. The teasing itself would definitely gone a bit longer, if not because Kuroko interrupted the two and informs Uiharu about the new transmission she currently receiving from her beloved Misaka Mikoto "Oneesama".
"What's wrong Oneesama? Did you finally arrive on the designated point? I could let Uiharu pinpoint it more accurately for you if…" Kuroko's sentence was cut short, as Misaka quickly replied back at her with serious voice tone. "I already arrived a while back Kuroko! Now I and these two are about to destroy these demon beasts, although it seems…things won't be as easy as we thought previously! Damn it! I contact you again later!" Misaka finished her sentence as she quickly hang-up on her transmission, leaving Kuroko, Uiharu and Saten speechless over such abrupt transmission Kuroko just received.
"Shi…Shirai-san, I don't think we need to worry too much about Misaka-san…since she could definitely handle herself fine…eeer…probably…" Uiharu replied back timidly, as she also smiled sheepishly at Kuroko that only stared back at her with scary look on her face. "Uiharu…I know you just want to go with Saten for shopping and having fun aren't you?" Kuroko asked with scary voice tone, as Uiharu somehow winced in fear.
"UWAAAARGH! I'm worried now! What if something bad happened with Oneesama! UWAAARGH! What if those demon beasts started to sprout tentacles and doing this and that and this and that to Oneesama! UWAWAWARGH!" Kuroko screamed in panic, as she started to bang her head repeatedly on the table, meanwhile both Uiharu and Saten could only stared at Kuroko's overreacting with big sweatdropped and confusion. "I think you just overreacting Shirai-san…don't worry too much since like Uiharu said, Misaka-san definitely could handle everything just fine! Have a faith on her will you?" this time Saten decided to speak in order to calm Kuroko down, as the Level 4 Teleported quickly stared at Saten with pitiful look on her eyes.
"Do you think so? Do you think so Ruiko Saten?" she asked, as Saten was only laughed sheepishly and averting her eyes away before she decided to voice her thought that in the end made Kuroko panicked and overreacting even more.
"Well, probably…" Ruiko Saten replied sheepishly.
In the meantime, at the designated point where Misaka Mikoto and her two companions were just arrived…
"I never heard or seen any demon beasts could grow this big…especially in the middle of daylight…" Miki Sayaka made her remark, as she unsheathed her cutlass, meanwhile her magical girl companion Kyoko Sakura only took a deep breath and munching her pocky stick in the same time before replying back. "Meh, I won't be worrying too much about when they will be appearing since we need their supply of grief seeds anyway…if they appear in daylight we hunt them, if they appear at night…we will still hunt them, so we will be ready for them at anytime!" Kyoko replied back, as she readying her spear while Sayaka only took a deep breath before smiling at her best friend and replying back. "And my task is to assist you and to make sure you're not being careless out there…since you and that Tokiwadai's ace Misaka Mikoto-san is almost similar in term of being hot-blooded and righteous…" Sayaka replied back and grinned at Kyoko, which only blushed and glared back at the blue haired magical girl in front of her.
"Hey! I'm not always that hot-blooded! Do you think I am some kind of tomboy or what Miki-san!?" Misaka Mikoto shouted at Miki Sayaka, as the blue haired magical girl was only giggled when she heard such complain remark from her new friend. "Well, I never say that kind of thing Misaka…so, it must be just your own imagination…tee hee…anyway, we better get ready since these demon beasts won't wait us chit and chat for the whole day!" Sayaka replied back at Misaka's complain, as she leaped and performing rapid vertical and horizontal slashes over the entire army of demon beasts in front of her. "Damn! That tomboy! She always tease us for being tomboy while she herself…whatever…" Kyoko took a deep breath and sighed before she spun her retractable spear and skewered the incoming three demon beasts in the same time.
"Hey both of you; wait! Let me handle some as well!" Misaka Mikoto shouted at both Sayaka and Kyoko before creating Iron Sand Sword (Whip Sword) by gathering and manipulating iron sand into long vibrated blade. It was when a group of demon beasts approached the Tokiwadai's ace without knowing the impending danger that would awaits them, as Misaka Mikoto easily sliced them with her Iron Sand Sword while in the same time 100 million volts electric burst on her surrounding and electrocute most of smaller demon beasts that try to surround her. "Whoaaa! She really is living up to her title as Tokiwadai's ace isn't she?" Kyoko made a surprised remark, as she stared at Misaka Mikoto in awe before spinning her retractable spear and horizontally smashing it to the incoming three demon beasts as if the said retractable spear is Sansetsukon (Three-Sectional Staff).
"Eh? I never know that your spear could be used to bludgeoning enemies as well…" Sayaka jokingly made her remark, as she pulled out another cutlass and dual wields them in order to fight the increasing number of demon beasts in front of her. "Argh! Shut up Sayaka!" Kyoko groaned as she once again impale another incoming demon beast that tried to sneak behind the redhead magical girl and attacked her from behind. It was when Sayaka, Kyoko and Misaka's attention then turned at the huge demon beast hive after most of smaller demon beasts already being defeated. Misaka Mikoto then stepped forward and pulled out a single 500yen coin from inside her pocket and took a deep breath before smiling at both Sayaka and Kyoko.
"Sayaka, Kyoko…if both of you could attack the giant demon beasts from both left and right side simultaneously in order to confuse it as well…it would be easier for me to deal with it by using a single blow…" Misaka Mikoto instructed as she still smiled full with confidence toward both Sayaka and Kyoko that also smiled back at the infamous Tokiwadai's ace, the Railgun herself.
"No problem boss! I will give this big fat demon beast a good beating, don't you agree Sayaka?" Kyoko made her remark as she already leaped, leaving both Sayaka and Misaka behind. "I agree and, hey! Kyoko! Wait!" Sayaka quickly shouted back at her best friend Kyoko, as the redhead Puella Magi (magical girl) dashed toward the huge demon beast in front of them. In the meantime Misaka Mikoto only shrugged before finally pulling out her 500yen coin from her skirt pocket and took a good aim at the said demon beast's core.
"This time for sure! I won't miss it…not like before…" Misaka muttered inside her heart as she took a deep breath while carefully adjusting her aim. It was when her memories started to drift to the past, during the new dawn after Purge of Blood, which was later on also referred as World War III or The First Defensive War.
United States of Japan, Kamogawa City, at Chiba Prefecture, to be exact on the Hill of Promise, two weeks after ESUN (together with TSAB) and Le Garite signed a treaty to form alliances in order to prevent tragedy such as Purge of Blood or Dawn of Memoria from happening again in the future…
"So, you're also will be leaving as well?" Kyouno Madoka asked, as Misaka Mikoto only smiled at her new friend before stared at another girl in blue hair that also happens to be her other new friend as well, identified as Le Garite's princess Fin E Ld Si Laffinty or by her pet-name "Lan". "After everything finally settled down, I think Academy City need my help in order to return to their former glory…and Kyouno-san, don't worry too much since it's not that I will be leaving for long anyway…if I have free time, I'll be sure to visit you at Kamogawa and I hope you do the same…well, you can catch JR Train bound to Academy City at anytime…tee hee…" Misaka Mikoto replied back, meanwhile Kyouno Madoka was just sighed, as she decided to smile back at Misaka and Lan as well, since it was her decision to part with her dearest friends with smile.
"I will, Lan too…don't forget about me and this place…after everything settled down at Le Garite, please visit us again here!" Kyouno Madoka also told her best friend Lan about how she would always be welcome to visit her at her beloved Kamogawa at anytime, and I hope she could do the same with her other best friend Muginami that already left her during the day of final battle two weeks ago. "I will Madoka, and I will try to find Muginami so the three of us could be together again…eeer I mean the four of us…" Lan blushed slightly as she corrected her words while glanced at Misaka Mikoto that was just laughed for overly too honest Lan in front of her.
"Yup! Definitely! That's a promise Lan, the same with as long as this padlock with our four names still here…we will definitely meet again under the sky of Kamogawa…right!" Kyouno Madoka replied back cheerfully, or at least trying to be as cheerful as she could while unknown by her, both Lan and Misaka somehow notice that. It was when after numerous "Bye-bye" and "I'll see you again" Madoka broke into tears. Lan already left, as perhaps this would be the last time she could see the Le Garite's princess, since as Lan personally already stated previously, it would took her quite a while to settle various things in her own world, as well as the time that would be consumed during space-time/ inter-dimensional travel without Crossgate System would be enormous. Misaka on the other hand was only remain silent, as she gently hug Kyouno Madoka.
For someone with strong sense of pride, justice, and empathy like Misaka Mikoto, she would definitely understood the sadness within Kyouno Madoka's heart, although ironically she couldn't do anything except remain silent and comfort the older girl with her gentle embrace. "I couldn't do anything…the heck with Tokiwadai's ace or Railgun if I couldn't shoot straight into my target…my target, so there won't be anymore sadness in front my eyes…yet, these hands couldn't even do anything…" Misaka Mikoto muttered inside her heart, as she gritted her teeth in frustration. It was when silently a single streak of tears run down to her cheeks as the Tokiwadai's Ace also weeps for her dearest friend's sadness as well.
"MISAKA-SAN!"
Sayaka Miki's shout quickly jerked Misaka from her trance, as she realized she was still in the very same battlefield, trying to defeat the huge demon beast in front of her by using her signature "Railgun" attack. "Thanks Miki-san…this time for sure, I will definitely reach them!" Misaka Mikoto replied back, as she smiled with renewed determination, as Sayaka Miki in return smiled back at the Tokiwadai's ace before slicing the incoming demon beast's tentacle by using her cutlass. "Hey, both of you! Until how long I need to deal with this! I think I should be dealing enough damage to let your ultimate attack do the finishing job! C'mon Misaka Mikoto, the Tokiwadai's ace…Ms. Railgun! Yeah!" Kyoko interrupted both Sayaka and Misaka's conversation, as she in the end jokingly cheering up Misaka Mikoto, as the infamous Railgun herself only laughed sheepishly before replying back at the redhead Puella Magi.
"Gee, thanks Kyoko-san…now, let me show you how to finish this demon beast with a single blow!"
Right at the split second moment before Misaka using her right hand's thumb as a trajectory trigger to shoot her 500yen coin into railgun's projectile, she remembered over many things that happened to her up until now. Misaka Mikoto remembered on how the world she knew was altered drastically as the result of Break The World. At first the Tokiwadai's ace thought she might hate such change, although she could be certain that she was somehow feel grateful for the change brought by Break The World itself.
"For all my dearest friends I have met until today, I put my everything in this railgun! I hope my feeling will reach them out, no it must reach them no matter what!" with strong determination within her heart, Misaka Mikoto finally shoot her 500yen coin "railgun" at the huge demon beast in front of her, as the impact of her "railgun" in the end dealing the decisive blow and destroy the huge demon beast in front of her.
In the meantime, not so far from Misaka, Sayaka, and Kyoko's location…
"Hmmm, I guess those three are doing just fine without our help…so we don't need to make our appearance just yet…" Aya Kobayashi made her remark; as her sleek Real Personal Trooper Type-3 (R-3) was remain on standby mode while scanning the said battlefield not so far from her location.
"Aya, do you think it would be a good idea for us to not at least approach them and say hi…since our assignment is to provide Academy City's defense personnel such as Judgment and Anti-Skill any necessary support…" Aya's younger sister Mai Kobayashi timidly asked, as her Real Personal Trooper Weapon Type Gun Powered (R-Gun Powered) also on standby mode. "Well, don't you worry too much Mai…things seems working out just fine without our help…moreover, I believe our help will be needed soon against the incoming new enemies…" Aya replied back as she smiled at her beloved youngest sister, before her expression somehow becoming a lot more serious than before.
"Eh, what do you mean by that Aya?" Mai asked, although soon enough she quickly realized over what her eldest sister really mean as approximately ten humanoid mobile weapons that previously belongs to the Aerogaters fleet somehow teleported and appeared in front of them. Those mobile weapons quickly identified by both Aya and Mai as AGX-12 Ezekiel "Standard Type", as those ten said Ezekiel quickly armed themselves with either laser blades or Olga Cannons in order to destroy both R-3 and R-Gun Powered in front of them.
"I think we have no choice to deal with these enemies first, although Aya…I wish I could see Misaka, as well as others…since I really missed Index, Aisa, Hyouka and the others as well…" Mai made her remark, as she was aiming her R-Gun Powered's twin magna rifle toward the incoming enemies, meanwhile Aya also nodded in agreement. "Yes, certainly…let's do it! Since it has been a while for me as well!" Aya replied back as she launched her R-3's Strike Shields, as the two of them quickly engaged the said incoming Ezekiel units in order to protect their dearest friends that also doing the best they could on the other battlefield.
Meanwhile, on the artificial glacier canyon nearby Sakhalin Base…
"Riela! Are you alright?" Kurt was showing worried expression as he kneeled nearby Valkyria Riela Marcellis that also on her knees and breathed heavily after using her Valkyria transformation's power over the certain extend in order to wipe out the incoming enemies' mobile suits identified as old generation MS-06J Zaku II Ground Type. "I'm fine Kurt...how's ms. Imca by the way…" Riela smiled back, as she asked her best friend's situation that also happens on fighting this war on the other area as well. "Imca is doing her best and I believe she would be doing fine! The reinforcement we received from Order of the Black Knights definitely helping us to defend Sakhalin Base from these troublesome enemies…moreover first lieutenant Kyosuke Nanbu and second lieutenant Excellen Browning also there as well!" Kurt replying back as he smiled at Riela that only nodded in agreement over her squad leader's statement before stood back and readying her Valkyria lance.
"Kurt, I never thought that we would be attacked…especially in this time of peace…who are they anyway? I don't think they are World Liberation Front…" Riela asked, as her usually long red hair colour changed completely into platinum electric blue as her eyes returned to deep burgundy colour as well. "No, I don't think so…however they also possessed mobile suits as well as several AT units…so, whoever behind this attack somehow really well-organized…" Kurt replied back with serious expression on his face, as he readying his long barrelled rifle before taking a good aim on the incoming five AT Scopedog units in front of him.
"I'm worried about Mr. Ave…" Riela muttered for all the sudden, as she destroyed the incoming three Scopedog AT units by using energy wave generated from her Valkyria lance, as Kurt halted his assault for a few seconds and stared at his beloved girlfriend before replying back. "He definitely will be doing fine, since those dependable people from TSAB's Special Duty Section 6 will be with him…Riela, what we could and should do at the moment is to do our best in order to protect Sakhalin Base, and entrust him to do his part out there…" Kurt replied back, as he took a good precise aim before blowing up the remaining two Scopedog AT units, as his rifle's projectiles hit the fuel tanks of those said AT units.
"Uhm, you're right Kurt…let's us believe in Mr. Ave and everyone else out there, that trying their best to solve this case so the real peace could be obtained…" Riela replied back, as she smiled at her boyfriend, as Kurt Irving only smiled back at her. It was when another group of enemies, approximately six MS-06J Zaku II Ground Type and four MS-07B Gouf units approached both Kurt and Riela. "Seems, things getting a bit heated up in here isn't it? Do you think you can handle all of them with your power Riela?" Kurt asked, as this time Riela shook her head gently with slightly expression of regret displayed on her face. "I could destroy five of them Kurt, but I'm afraid the others would find a chance to attack us…I'm sorry…" Riela replied back, as she apologized.
"Don't worry about that, and you no need to apologize Riela…let's find another way to defeat them or else…" before Kurt could finish his sentence, the surrounding time and space around Riela and himself already frozen as a pair of Puella Magi arrived in order to provide the two Nameless' members support fire. The first Puella Magi in pink identified as Kaname Madoka was aiming her rose bow and shot volley of arrows rain toward the incoming Zaku II and Gouf units, meanwhile her companion the Puella Magi in black that also responsible for the time-freeze identified as Akemi Homura took her opportunity to launch barrage of rocket propellant grenades toward those enemies' MS units as well, approximately thirty RPG's projectiles from thirty RPG units were fired.
As Akemi Homura once again turned her hourglass shield to return the time and space back to normal, both Riela and Kurt could only gasped in surprise as the incoming six Zaku II units and four Gouf units were impaled by Madoka's arrows as well as being incinerated by Homura's RPGs' rockets.
"Are you two alright? Gomen, for arriving very late to help you two…tee hee…" Madoka greeted both Riela and Kurt, while she still smiled gently at both of them. "No, please don't worry about that! We actually glad that both of you finally arrive here Kaname-san…Akemi-san…" Kurt replied back, as he smiled at both Kaname Madoka and Akemi Homura. "You're welcome Mr. Irving, but we aren't the only one arriving to reinforce the defense of Sakhalin Base…since the others should also be arriving to assist the other fronts as well…" Akemi Homura calmly replying back, as she informed Kurt and Riela about more reinforcements should be already arriving and currently provides a considerable good assistance at other frontlines where Order of the Black Knight members, Kyosuke Nanbu, Excellen Browning and the other Nameless' members also fought their best to repel the invading enemies' forces.
It was when Riela asked both Madoka and Homura about the identities of other reinforcements, the Puella Magi duo were just remain silent and smiled in amusement. Madoka in particular told Riela that she would found the answer soon enough, as soon as the young Valkyria saw the soaring Type-00F and Type-00C Takemikazuchi that also known as the mass production variant version of Tactical Surface Fighter (TSF) Type-00R Takemikazuchi; three for each of them begin to engage the enemies in intense close quarter combat situation.
"ESUN's First Independent Northern Squadron finally arrive as well…and of course those four were included…" Kurt made his comment, as Riela nodded in agreement before replying back. "You're right Kurt…those four are here as well to help us…" Riela replied back as she sighed in relieved, meanwhile Kurt quickly smiled at his girlfriend, as he together with Riela, Madoka and Homura saw the three Type-00F units in metallic light blue hues colour together with the other three Type-00C Takemikazuchi units scored most of the victories against their enemies, as the rest of the reinforcement groups arrived as well.
In the meantime, at Mars' hidden facility within Mars Federation's Lanigreen Republic mountainous region…
"Einhalt-san, are you sure you're doing alright? I mean…you're still recovering from your injuries…" Vivio asked in slightly worried expression, as she just finished to destroy one infected laboratory room that turned into Xenomorph hive by using her Sacred Cluster bombardment spell. "I'm doing fine Vivio-san, and thank you for concerning about my wellbeing…but please don't be worried too much, since Shamal-sensei's treatment really help me to recover faster and help me to return to active duty together with you…" Einhalt replied back, as she smiled gently at her younger best friend (girlfriend?) meanwhile Vivio quickly nodded back in agreement as well before replying back.
"Still, please be careful and don't do anything reckless Einhalt-san…since…" Vivio left her guard down, as out of nowhere a single facehugger leaped out at Vivio's direction, aiming for her face. It was Einhalt's fast reflexes that save the Sankt Kaiser's clone from her impending doom, as the young Hegemon-chan caught the facehugger mid-air before threw it away on the metal floor and impaled it with the nearest steel rod, splattering its acid blood that soon eroding the said metal floor. "Uh…oh…thanks a lot Einhalt-san…" Vivio thanked her best friend; as she smiled sheepishly meanwhile Einhalt quickly shook her head before replying back. "I promise you that I will always be your side in order to protect you Vivio-san…so no matter what happened, I always be there to protect you…" Einhalt replied back, as she blushed slightly as soon as she finished her reply.
"Anyway, how about we try to contact Thoma-san and the others as well…we might want to know how the others progressing…" Einhalt quickly changed her conversation subject in order to prevent any awkward moment between Vivio and herself. It was when Vivio quickly nodded in agreement cheerfully before contacted Thoma, Lily and Isis via her hybrid-intelligent device Sacred heart (Chris) while Einhalt tried not to blush as her mismatched lavender purple and sapphire blue eyes met with Vivio's mismatched crystal green and red eyes. It was also soon enough Vivio successfully established contact with Thoma, Lily and Isis.
"Thoma! How's the situation on your side?" Vivio cheerfully asked, as the young "Black Knight" was just sighed before replying back. "No survivors were found Vivio, it seems this facility already being abandoned for quite a while…and also filled with these Xenomorph creatures roaming around…Lily, how many we already killed so far?" Thoma replied back at Vivio's question while asked his Eclipse Reactor girlfriend Lily-Strosek IV a question. "I do make a calculation, total would be one hundred and fifty-five Xenomorph that being taken down by you and Isis combine…most of them are normal praetorian class with exception thirty of them being runners…" Lily (that already in React-in with Thoma) replied back, as she provided Thoma with the information requested meanwhile Isis quickly chirped out to add her own remark as well in regards to the entire situation.
"Hey, Vi…do you know what is this Xenomorph thing is? I heard from Lily, these creatures are really deadly and one wrong move, they could holed up your chest or your skull…instantly killing you with a single blow…" Isis asked; as Vivio was only remain silent while resuming her thinking pose before she replied back quickly enough. "Uhm, I personally not sure as well...but there was this old movie from Nanoha-mama's homeworld known as Aliens and they feature deadly Xenomorph hordes that slaughter a team of colonial marines…I was around seven or something when I watch it and back then I could say it was quite scary tee hee…" Vivio replied back with her cute and cheerful expression as always. Isis was only nodded in understanding, as Vivio gave her explanation meanwhile Einhalt only blushed slightly as she saw Vivio's cute and innocent smile, even though both Vivio and herself were in "Adult Mode" at that moment.
"Well, I think that's also another proof that Ave-nii really came from another Earth similar to Nanoha-mama's except where many things that happened here originally came from fictional works originated from his world…" Vivio made her remark again, as she glanced over the impaled facehugger before tilted it with her left foot. "Uhm, Vivio-san…I don't think it would be wise to play around with that dangerous creature…even though I already killed it…" Einhalt timidly warned her best friend (girlfriend?), as Vivio sheepishly apologized.
"Well, since no survivor were found even after we look around…I think we should be retreating now, I believe the main assault team also already doing the same…" Thoma decided to inform Vivio and Einhalt about his decision to leave the abandoned facility, since their main objective for finding any survivors seems to be fruitless. "You're right Thoma, how about Lily and Isis-san?" Vivio asked. "I agree with Thoma decision…and I don't think Isis would have any objection about that…Isis?" Lily replied at Vivio's question, as she asked the chemical user for confirmation, as Isis only smiled back at Thoma (Lily already inside him and React-in) while nodded in agreement.
"Vivio-san, wait for a moment…let me pick this file folder as well for Ave-san…" Einhalt took a thin cobalt blue folder, as small optical disc attached inside, as she informed Vivio over her intention to take the said folder back with her. "Is it really important Einhalt-san?" Vivio asked with innocent curious expression on her face. "I'm not sure yet, but Ave-san as well as Vivio-san's second mother and Teana-san would be delighted for additional information that perhaps could support their deduction regarding Mars Federation's involvement in this conspiracy and Lanigreen Republic might just be another victim and scapegoat here…" Einhalt replied back, as Vivio nodded in agreement before replying back in enthusiasm.
"Well thought Einhalt-san! Also the way you explain your reason really good, especially the articulation of your words…you might become a better commander than Hayate-san in the future…tee hee…" Vivio cheerfully replying back, as she praised her older girlfriend's previous answer, meanwhile Einhalt only blushed even deeper after she heard Vivio's praise. In the same time, Thoma, Lily and Isis also smiled as they saw Vivio and Einhalt's lovey-dovey situation albeit from holographic monitor projected by Bible of Silver Cross.
Vivio, Einhalt, Thoma, Lily and Isis then made their retreat from the abandoned facility with their resolve still remain intact within their hearts. They might not succeeded on finding any survivors within the facility itself, however Vivio, Einhalt, Thoma, Lily and Isis definitely certain that what they were doing today would be a stepping stone that made them stronger in order to be able to help other people in the future. It was also their new resolve and the five of them really determined to do it for the sake of mankind, and for their dearest friends as well.
To Be Continued…
