Sven's POV

"If Meteora is coming for Edgar we should think about moving him." I told Sasha "They are restless and if they come for him while Edgar is in the school…people will die."

"Exactly…" Sasha sighed "They only care about the ends, sounds familiar."

He was giving Jita the stink eye.

"Why you-!"

"Stop." Mafuyu stepped up "Don't start, we need a plan."

"I'm sorry." Edgar frowned "They're coming because I'm here. Because I'm living…so many other people die."

"Edgar it's not-." Mafuyu started but Sasha stopped her.

"Edgar we need the full story." Sasha said "How did you get the Twilight?"

"I will…but let's go someplace else first." He said.

Edgar walked to the lake and we looked at the calm water, the sun reflecting off it.

"At the bottom of this lake lies a sanctuary." Edgar explained "That is where the Theotokos is resting…as is Friederich Tanner."

"Edgar how do you know that man?" I asked.

He is an over achieving terrorist…what would he know about Edgar?

"I was once his possession." He said "A vessel for storage of the circuits he had collected, including the Noah I am a canvas and nothing more. When he died I was let free, I found hope and tried my hardest to live a normal life. But that's just a dream."

"Edgar don't say that." Mafuyu yelled.

"You're kidding right?" Sasha asked "You dragged us to this place to feed us a sob story and be the tragic hero."

"That's not it I-!"

"Stop Lying!" Sasha yelled "Stop pretending to be a victim and come clean. Tell me what it is you really want?"

"It's clear isn't it." I said "It's the thing naturally engraved into all people."

"He wants to live."

"I want that, and to stay with everyone else." Edgar nodded.

"Then get up." Sasha put his hand out "You'll be on the side that struggles to achieve that goal."


Later

I tapped my fingers on the desk, agitated and worried.

It's been too long since I heard from Lady Katja…I'm worried. Meteora, Lady Katja…something is wrong. If she's not there when I get home I'm going to find her.

*Swish*

The door to the classroom slid open and a girl I recognized from around school walked in.

"Afternoon, I forgot my bag." She smiled walking over.

"Hmhm." I nodded.

She walked to the back row and picked up a bag.

"Have a good day." She said walking by me again.

"HYA!" I grabbed her wrist and bent it back.

"GAAH!" she hissed and dropped a syringe.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"She's going to be angry."

"She?" I asked.

"Mistress."

"Hmph." I stood up "That is some sort of mind control agent isn't it, well I already have a Mistress, and yours, no matter who, would pale to her."

I swung my arm and slammed the girl down before punching her face and knocking her out.

"I'm sorry about that, hopefully you won't bruise too bad." I grabbed my jacket and placed it over my arm before smashing the window.

"I hope Lady Katja doesn't get home tonight, I think I'm going to be a little late."

I jumped out and dropped to the floor.

Sasha and Jita were around the grounds…Edgar is with Miyuri at her little clubhouse.

I threw my jacket off and fixed my tie.

"That's where I'm going first."


Later

"HRRAA!"

I drilled one of those annoying zombies with a punch.

I can't use my swords on the zombie students, I'll have to fight though with my fists.

By the time I got to Miyuri's house they were gone, if they had fled in that strange power surge before they had a few steps on me and I would need to track them down.

Knowing Edgar…he will convince Mafuyu to take him to that place.

I doubled my speed and got to the lake as fast as possible.

"Mafuyu-san, please send the boy to me."

It's that boy with the wolves.

"He won't be harmed."

"What are you going to do?" Mafuyu asked

"Just kill him." The boy said.

I walked up behind him and drew a sword, I was going to surprise him, but he had those damn dogs.

"GRR!" I held my sword up "That's not a chew tow-LET GO!"

I swung my sword and slashed the wolf in half.

"I hate dogs." I hissed.

I jumped over them and landed before her, blocking a bullet from the other Meteora member.

"Are you and the others alright Mafuyu?" I asked.

"Yes we're okay." She nodded.

"Miyuri is out cold and it seems Sasha and Jita are preoccupied at school." I said "I'll need you to be my back up."

"Right!" she said as her earing glowed and activated her circuit.

I raised my sword when one of the dogs attack, I slashed and it jumped back.

"HRAA!"

Mafuyu's circuit glowed and cut the air like a wave. I followed behind and jumped to tackle the one wolf, stabbing it.

"Lobo!"

"RAAAH!" the biggest wolf jumped high over me and towards Miyuri and Edgar, hitting the girl, off the cliff towards the lake.

"Miyuri!"

There's no way to get over there!

The air whooshed as a whip like black tendril flew up from below and jammed in the cliff, Jita quickly swung by and grabbed Miyuri before she hit the rocks.

"That was too close." I sighed looking over the cliff "By the way Miss Jita, it's polite to ask before you barrow another Qwaser's Maria."

I saw her sucking on Miyuri.

"She belongs to me." I growled.

"Complain later." Jita said "Are they Meteora."

"Yes, Leon Muller and Lee May." I said "They're troublesome."

"Leave now." Jita glared "My powers have returned and I will not hesitate."

"Don't bother talking." I said as the dogs jumped "He won't listen."

I cut through the dogs and Jita jumped at Leon only to be shot at by Lee May.

"You're wasting bullets." Jita said blocking."

A circuit activated and tied her up.

"Jita!"

"Each of those bullets had a sealing circuit." Leon explained.

"HRAA!" I ran in.

"Lobo!"

"GAH!" I hissed as the big wolf got back up and bit my thigh "You're a pain in the ass you mutt! Huh?"

"I can't…move my legs." I hissed.

This dog…has something special about it.

"The plausibility of you escaping is impossible." Leon said "Accept the end."

*Click*

I looked over and saw the woman pointing her gun at Jita.

"Crap." I hissed still stunned.

Suddenly a tendril flew passed and broke the circuit binding Jita.

That's-!

I looked over with hope, only too see something else.

A man standing there with a large metal puppet.

"I don't care about the boy, Meteora can have him, but the girl comes with me." He said "I am Joshua Phrygianos and she is my sister."

"That puppet." I looked at it "I'd know it anywhere."

Lady Anastasia…

I glared "Where did you get that."

I stabbed the wolf and picked up my sword.

"Lady Katja would give her life before that puppet could be pawned off." I growled "I'll kill you."
