~ Destiny of Three Fates (Part II) ~
Reflector's Reflection
"May I sit here?" politely and formally asked Ave, as the person in question, sixteen years old corporal Isara Gunther only smiled at him while approvingly nodding back as well, simultaneously. "Uhm, certainly mister Ave…" politely replied Isara before she decided to let Ave sat next to her. "Thanks, Isara. For letting me sit here as well as repairing and upgrading Exia in your spare time…" thanked Ave, as he sat next to the said younger Darcsen girl in which just shook her head gently, in return. "You are very kind for thanking me mister Ave. I only am helping professor Atenza and mister Ian with maintenance of ZEUTH's machines. Because of that, I have done nothing special with Exia, as it actually was professor Atenza and mister Ian that successfully upgrade it…" argued Isara, as she politely declined any credit for repairing and upgrading Exia into Avalanche Exia that has been damaged from participating in Battle at Marberry Shore a week ago.
"Still, both professor Atenza and mister Ian have informed us on how your idea has helped them with upgrading not only Exia but other ZEUTH's machines as well, Isara. You should be proud of that, as I'm sure no one would ever try to single-handedly modify Gundam Ez8 for space use. Am I right?" responded Ave back before he decided to also remind Isara of her successful effort when upgrading Gundam Ez8 of Edinburgh Army's 08th MS Team for space use. It was when Ave's reminder has made Isara blushed, as she meekly gave him an affirmative nod as well, in return. For a brief moment, both Ave and Isara decided to quietly enjoy the late autumn breeze together, as most if not all other ZEUTH's personnel have been granted two days leave while waiting for Steel Dragon Battalion to rendezvous with them.
"Uhm, by the way mister Ave…" stated Isara, as she paused her sentence while staring at the said older young Time Diver's candidate, Ave in which currently sat beside her. "Yes?" responded Ave back, as he gave Isara another Takamachi-style smile of his at the same time. "I would like you to have this…" politely and meekly replied Isara before she gave Ave a personally-made traditional Darcsen doll as present. "Is it okay for me to accept this, Isara? Since Darcsen doll is usually something that you made as a gift to your loved ones…" calmly asked Ave, as he accepted the said small Darcsen doll that Isara made from thatched fisher-grass, scrap cloth and coloured threads. It was when Isara blushed, as she gave Ave a meek affirmative nod before answering his question as well, in return.
"I really wish you to have it, mister Ave. Since we, Darcsen people believes that it would protect its bearer from any harm and misfortune, as long as he or she kept it at all times…" answered Isara while reassuring Ave that she really wished for him to accept her gift after all. "Thanks, Isara. I will definitely treasure it…" thanked Ave before he once again smiled at Isara after she answered his question just now. "Uhm, you're welcome mister Ave. Even though, I should be thanking you instead…" replied Isara while mentioning on how she should the one that thanked Ave instead of the other way around. "A, ha, ha, ha. I'm not sure about that, Isara. Since I haven't done something special that you should somehow feel indebted with…" casually responded Ave back before mentioning on how he has yet done something special that warrant Isara's personal gratitude. It was when Isara shook her head gently and explained on how she would forever indebted to Ave after he save her life a week ago.
"I heard from miss Subaru that you have saved my life when enemy's sniper have severely injure me a week ago, mister Ave. Since without your help, I might not be here today to properly thanking you for saving my life after all…" explained Isara while innocently smiling at the older young Time Diver's candidate, Ave as well in return. "It was Subaru and Shiba-san that actually save your life, as I only help them with my prior knowledge, Isara. Because of that, you should be thanking them instead of me, I believe…" calmly responded Ave back, as he also let Isara knew on how the legendary Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Silver Ace, sergeant Subaru Nakajima and Tatsuya Shiba or special operative lieutenant Ryūya Ōguro were actually happen to be the one that save her after she got severely injured by enemy's sniper during Battle at Marberry Shore a week ago.
"Yet, both miss Subaru and mister Tatsuya would never be able to save me without any prior information that you provide them with, mister Ave. Since the knowledge that you possessed as another Time Diver's candidate has certainly helped not only me but many others in their struggle after Break The World occurred…" politely and meekly argued Isara back while insisting that Subaru and Tatsuya could only successfully save her life after Ave's prior knowledge has prompted them to do so. Especially after Subaru and Tatsuya have also personally told Isara on how only because of Ave repeatedly reminding them about this impending tragedy that they manage to save her in the end.
"Any prior knowledge that I inherited from my old life was never actually omnipotent to begin with, Isara. Only because Break The World has yet drastically change any predestined events or circumstances drastically that I could still predict our future. Even if just for a little bit…" calmly explained Ave in his respond towards Isara's argument, as he also simultaneously smiled at her as well, in return.
Isara in the meantime was only nodding back, as she listen at Ave's explanation just now. She knew that Ave never actually consider those memories and prior knowledge that he inherited from his old life as something special that one could be proud of. Vivio and Einhalt once told Isara that Ave often refers those aforementioned memories and prior knowledge that he inherited from his old life as a cheat that allowed him to seemingly create a miracle out of nowhere. Yet, such said ability to create miracle out of nowhere has slowly and surely diminished, as Break The World began to alter the course of supposedly predestined events or circumstances further from what Ave could previously remember. Not only Vivio and Einhalt but even the renowned Time-Space Administrative Bureau's three Aces, instructor Nanoha Takamachi, Executive Officer Fate Testarossa Harlaown and Special Duty Section 6's supreme commander Hayate Yagami also told Isara on how Ave's ability to utilize prior knowledge from his old life would start to diminish, as Break The World has ultimately change everything after all.
"Nevertheless, you have saved my life mister Ave and I truly am grateful for that…" once again reaffirmed Isara before she smiled at her older companion, Ave as well, in return. It was when Ave has decided not to argue back and accepted Isara's gratitude while smiling at her as well, simultaneously. "You're welcome, Isara. Since I also am glad that my old memories and prior knowledge would be useful to protect and save you…" calmly responded Ave back, as he decided to also give Isara another one of Takamachi-style smile of his afterwards. It was when Isara once again smiled before she stood up and extended her right hand towards Ave while replying back at his calm respond just now.
"Shall we get back mister Ave? Before we made everyone worry about us…" suggested Isara in her reply, as she helped Ave to stood up afterwards. "I think we should, Isara. Since Nanoha-san and Vita-san have told me to help them with compiling another combat simulation data this afternoon…" replied Ave back affirmatively, as he also agree with Isara's suggestion after all. "We better get going then, as everyone know exactly on how scary miss Vita would be if she get annoyed tee hee…" replied Isara back before she let a small chuckle out as well, in return. It was when Ave only once again gave Isara an affirmative nod before they return to the main building of their field headquarter together.
On their way back together, Isara started to further explain the significant improvement that Gundam Avalanche Exia had over the old Gundam Exia that Ave piloted before. Ave on the other hand decided to tentatively listen at Isara's explanation while occasionally smiling at her as well. Isara has definitely done a great job for repairing and upgrading Exia into Avalanche Exia, as professor Mariel Atenza of Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Technical Division 4 and Ian Vashti in which happen to be Celestial Being's chief mechanic has personally praised her for that. Because of that, even if Isara refused to take any of the credit for repairing and upgrading Exia into Avalanche Exia, Ave believed that she ultimately deserve the aforementioned credit as much as professor Mariel Atenza and Ian Vashti themselves after all.
"In theory, Avalanche Exia's overall performance should increase roughly thirty to forty percents than the original Exia that you previously piloted mister Ave…" happily explained Isara, as she also smiled towards her companion, the older young Time Diver's candidate, Ave at the same time. "It definitely is good to hear that, as the original Exia's speed and acceleration has still incapable of matching or exceeding Delta Gundam Modified and Delta Plus on their Waverider Mode configuration unfortunately…" replied Ave back before admitting the supposedly high speed and acceleration of the original Gundam Exia's GN Particle propulsion happens to be somehow slightly inferior compared to Delta Gundam Modified and Delta Plus on their Waverider Mode configuration. It was when Isara let a small chuckle out, as she responded back at Ave's reply just now.
"Still, you have manage to temporarily outmanoeuvre both Delta Gundam Modified and Delta Plus using the original Exia when they tried to stop us, mister Ave. Because of that, I still am believe that it truly is up to the pilot to bring his or her mobile suit or personal trooper's true potential out in battlefield. Don't you think so as well?" responded Isara back before she smiled at Ave while asking him a rhetorical question as well, in return. "To certain extend, I also agree with you Isara. Nevertheless, pilot's ingenuity could only manifest when he or she pilots the right mobile suit that suit him or her. Because of that, I was lucky for being able to pilot Exia when fighting both Delta Gundam Modified and Delta Plus during the assault of Torrington Base back then…" replied Ave back while reminding Isara on how pilot's natural skill and his or her mobile suit's performance would always came hand in hand after all.
"It must certainly happen to be a tough fight mister Ave. Since you also ended up having both of Exia's GN Long and Short Blade broken by the time Minerva and Nahel Argama have returned to help us fighting A-Laws and their special task manoeuvre squad, G Hound, I believe…" responded Isara back while smiling at her older young companion, Ave as well, in return. "Well, to my defense, most if not all G Hound's members are formerly veteran or even ace pilots of Titans, New Desides and Blue Cosmos that also work together with another new enemy's faction back then, Gjallarhorn if I am not mistaken…" once again reminded Ave in his reply towards Isara's respond just now.
"Welkin-niisan has once told me that our enemies and Gjallarhorn indeed have allied themselves with A-Laws to conquer our newborn eternal realities post-Break The World, mister Ave…" once again responded Isara, as she also acknowledge that her older brother, Welkin Gunther has once told her about A-Laws' special task manoeuvre squad, G Hound together with any inhuman atrocities in which each of its members have committed in the past.
"At least for the time being, we have won our battle, Isara. Since Earth Spheres United Nations together with Time-Space Administrative Bureau has made a huge effort to de-escalate conflict by reforming the previously corrupt Old United Nations and allow United States of Japan to serve as permanent member of their security council for example…" calmly reminded Ave back before once again smiled gently at her as well, in return. "Uhm, is allowing United States of Japan to serve as permanent member of ESUN's security council would somehow change anything significantly, mister Ave?" innocently asked Isara, as she also remembered on how the recently formed Earth Spheres United Nations have decided to make United States of Japan one of their security council's permanent members together with Britannia Union, Euro Universe and Human Reform League.
At the same time, Isara also remember on how the radical separatist from Old United Nations known as Coalition of Old Governments or COG has vehemently against Earth Spheres United Nations' (ESUN's) decision to make Japan as one of their security council's permanent members for some reason. It was something that Isara somehow found it difficult to understand, as United States of Japan has undoubtedly contribute greatly in this war so far. According to some of Time-Space Administrative Bureau's archives, a mysterious earthquake that hit one of the alternate world's Tokyo ten years ago has something to do with how United States of Japan's rapid technology advancement after it fused with several other version of Empire of Japan truly benefit ZEUTH in the entire course of this aforementioned war.
"Orbal Technology, Sakuradite, Luna Titanium Alloy and many other Extra-Over Technology have originally come from our newborn world's United States of Japan, Isara. Hokuto Group and Amano Works are just two examples of how this particular Empire of Japan has succeeded on improving Epstein Foundation's Orbal Technology with Japanese own aesthetic that they acquired after mysterious great earthquake hit their version of Tokyo ten years ago meanwhile Sumeragi Concern and Mao-Isurugi Heavy Industries are contribute almost fifty percents of our newborn world's supply for Sakuradite and Luna Titanium Alloy respectively. Because of that, I find that ESUN has made a right decision to include United States of Japan as one of their security council's permanent members, as its rapid technology advancement would benefit us greatly…" explained Ave in his reply towards Isara's question just now. Isara herself in the meantime was only affirmatively nodding back at him before remembering on how her new friend, Kloze Rinz has previously also told her the exact same thing.
"Unfortunately however, not everyone has agree with ESUN's decision mister Ave. Gjallarhorn for example already somehow succeeded on manipulating others into their own bidding unfortunately…" added Isara, as she suddenly blushed slightly and apologized afterwards. "Ah! Please forgive me for derailing our conversation mister Ave. Since we supposed to discuss more about Avalanche Exia's combat performance instead of our third newborn world's geopolitical climate after all…" apologized Isara while blushing slightly in embarrassment. Ave in return was only smiling at Isara while responding back at her apology as well, simultaneously. "Please don't worry about that, Isara. I actually am glad to hear your thought on this matter personally, as it give me a clearer idea on what we should be doing next…" responded Ave back before reassuring Isara that she shouldn't feel guilty for unintentionally derailing their conversation just now.
"S-still, it isn't a nice thing for me to unintentionally derail our conversation just now, mister Ave. S-sorry…" once again apologized Isara before Ave decided to also once again reassured her that she shouldn't feel guilty for derailing their conversation a while ago. It was when Isara meekly nod, as she decided to continue her previously unfinished explanation on any improvement that Avalanche Exia had over the original Exia itself afterwards. While discussing the aforementioned subject in their conversation, Ave and Isara arrived at the main lobby of previously abandoned five stars-class hotel in which currently has been converted into ZEUTH's military command post and supply base after they recaptured Warsaw five days ago. It was right after they entered the aforementioned main lobby of previously abandoned five stars-class hotel itself, Ave and Isara spot Nemesis' Enforcer, Asuka Hiiragi and her former junior or kōhai in which currently working with Nemesis' rival organization, Zodiac, Sora Ikushima were having a serious, as well as heated discussion with former Phantom Sweep Corps' pilots, captain Hugues Courand and first lieutenant Cherie Allison over their next operation.
"Uhm, I'm not sure if getting involved in their heated discussion and debate is a good idea, mister Ave…" whispered Isara while reminding Ave on how they should just only greet Hiiragi, Sora, Hugues and Cherie before hastily returning back to their respective quarters. "I agree with you Isara. Since only Vivio that most likely would love to get involved in such heated discussion with Einhalt being her faithful companion and good listener, I believe…" affirmatively responded Ave back half-whispering, as he decided to just greet Hiiragi, Sora, Hugues and Cherie using a small gesture before left them away afterwards. "Wooow, I didn't know that they would let us go that easy mister Ave. Considering on how miss Hiiragi and miss Ikushima use to always drag you into their heated discussion before…" remarked Isara in awe, as she never thought that they could somehow leave the said main lobby without getting involved with Hiiragi, Sora, Hugues and Cherie's serious, as well as heated discussion.
"Their discussion might be irrelevant to us, Isara. Although it might also just because they decided not to get more people involved in their decision making, as Hiiragi, Ikushima, captain Courand and first lieutenant Allison are operating independently from ZEUTH's main force, if I remember correctly…" responded Ave back while explaining the possible reason that made Hiiragi, Sora, Hugues and Cherie to not letting both Ave and Isara involved in their serious, as well as heated discussion. Isara in return was only affirmatively nodding back at Ave, as she could somehow understand and accept his explanation just now.
Both Ave and Isara were finally arrived at the fifteenth floor, in which their respective quarters were located adjacent to the makeshift meeting room for Kuō Academy's Occult Research Club after most if not all of its members were helping ZEUTH to protect this third newborn world from their enemies. From what Ave personally remember, the aforementioned former president of Kuō Academy's Occult Research Club, Rias Gremory also happens to be closely acquainted with the descendant of Thunder Emperor Dahlgrün, Viktoria Dahlgrün, Flame King of Hades, Xveria Nakajima, Knight of Sankt Kaiser Church, Carim Gracia and the (last) Queen of the Night Sky, Hayate Yagami, as he often saw them discussing their next moves together. It was when Ave and Isara spot two members of Kuō Academy's Occult Research Club, Issei Hyōdō and Shirone "Koneko" Tōjō were having a relaxing late afternoon tea with the current president and vice president of the aforementioned Occult Research Club itself, Asia Argento and Yūto Kiba respectively.
"Breast Dragon Emperor, Oppai Dragon?" innocently asked Isara, as she saw Issei Hyōdō in the makeshift meeting room of Kuō Academy's Occult Research Club in which located adjacent to the long corridor that connect it to her as well as Ave's own personal quarter. "Eh? How did you know about that tokusatsu series, Isara? Since it supposedly only accessible in seventh newborn world's Netherworld and Heaven, I believe…" quickly responded Ave back, as he was half-surprised when hearing Isara's question just now. "Uhm, Vivio and miss Einhalt brought the complete set of Oppai Dragon's first two season on Blu-ray discs from seventh newborn world when they helped mister Godō Kusanagi and miss Erica Blandelli fought Nazarick's expedition force during Azure Will-o'-wisp Incident four months ago before miss Alicia and I borrow them afterward…" bashfully explained Isara, as she was hoping that Ave would not ask her more about it.
"I remember visiting seventh newborn world four months ago, Isara. Although I also have no recollection over how Vivio and Einhalt manage to find such a rare collectible article when they supposed to be in the middle of important mission…" once again responded Ave back while starting to wonder on whether both Vivio and Einhalt has manage to sneak out, as well as visit the seventh newborn world's Netherworld or Heaven in which they manage to find the aforementioned complete set for the first two season of Breast Dragon Emperor, Oppai Dragon itself after all. "I'm not sure myself, mister Ave. Although I heard that Vivio and miss Einhalt were using this aforementioned tokusatsu show as research material for new combat techniques…" further explained Isara in her reply towards Ave's respond just now, as she also mentioned on how both Vivio and Einhalt has previously mention that they were strictly using Breast Dragon Emperor, Oppai Dragon for their own research material of new combat techniques after all.
"Research for new combat techniques, eh…" half-jokingly muttered Ave while smirking at Isara in which also letting a small giggle out as well, in return. "T-that's what Vivio and miss Einhalt told me, mister Ave. Other than that, I decide not to ask further question…" meekly responded Isara back while trying to suppress her small giggle as well, at the same time. "Well, Vivio and Einhalt always love to learn new things, Isara. Especially after they decided to pursue the path of scholar, as well as martial artist while also becoming Time-Space Administrative Bureau's operative simultaneously. Einhalt in particular has decided to do so to preserve the very record of her ancestor's memories in which previously already disappeared after she accumulate happier memories prior and after Break The World itself…" reminded Ave, as he also gave Isara an acknowledging nod afterwards.
"Yet, miss Einhalt's memories of her ancestor have once again resurface after Break The World occurred. Am I right, mister Ave?" asked Isara while mentioning on how Einhalt has started to recall the memories of her ancestor, Claus G.S. Ingvalt, in which already disappeared right after she claimed the throne of U15 Striker Championship's Champion last year from Edelgard Barkas. "There are things that completely changed after Break The World occurred, Isara. At the same time however, there also are things that remain the same such as memories that you previously inherited in your old life. Nevertheless, since we could never live on memories alone, I once told Einhalt to try her best to like and appreciate herself more. I also am sure that Subaru has also once told Thoma the exact same thing as well…" calmly answered Ave before he sheepishly laughed when noticing on how his answer might somehow confused Isara.
"A, ha, ha, ha. I don't think that has somehow answer your question clearly, Isara. Since I instead talk about another unrelated thing just now. By the way, the answer for your question would be yes, as the said memories that Einhalt inherited from her ancestor, Claus did return after Break The World occurred. Although I'm sure that Einhalt has matured and would no longer shackled by Claus' memories like before…" added Ave before he finally answered Isara's question while smiling at the said younger Darcsen-girl in front of him as well, in return. Isara was about to respond at Ave's answer when she noticed Special Duty Section 6's tactical combat instructor, captain Nanoha Takamachi, Einhalt Stratos' beloved protégé, Fūka Reventón and Hokuto Group's young scion, Mitsuki Hokuto have just returned from another afternoon combat training session.
"I think we should greet them first mister Ave. Since they have noticed us just now…" suggested Isara before she decided to approach Nanoha, Fūka and Mitsuki while politely smiling at them as well, simultaneously. "That might actually be a good idea, as I also wish to learn more about any new information that Mitsuki-san might have stored for us…" affirmatively answered Ave back, as he decided to follow Isara afterwards. "Good day, miss Nanoha, miss Fūka and miss Hokuto…" politely greeted Isara, as she was bowing her head slightly afterwards. "Good day, Isara-chan. It is quite unusual to see you together with Ave-kun. Have you just finished working together on Exia this afternoon?" cheerfully replied Nanoha back before she greeted Isara as well, in return.
"I actually have just met Isara after she repaired and upgraded Exia into Avalanche Exia together with professor Atenza and mister Ian's help, Nanoha-san…" calmly informed Ave, as he responded back at Nanoha's cheerful reply while giving both Einhalt's beloved protégé, Fūka Reventón and the current Hokuto Group's young scion in which also happen to be a future leader of Nemesis' rival organization Zodiac, Mitsuki Hokuto a small nod as well, simultaneously. "Ah! Hayate-chan did mention about how badly damaged Exia from our previous mission, Ave-kun. I'm glad that Isara-chan manages to not only repair Exia but also upgrade it to Avalanche Exia, as our enemies definitely have became more powerful after all…" calmly acknowledged Nanoha back before reminding Ave on how powerful and extremely dangerous any of their enemies are lately.
"Uhm, is that why you decided to train miss Fūka and miss Hokuto in Brave Duel, miss Nanoha?" meekly and innocently asked Isara, as she was wondering about the reason behind the afternoon combat training session that Nanoha, Fūka and Mitsuki had just now. "That is certainly one of the main reason for doing that, as both Fūka-chan and Mitsuki-chan also realize on how our battles have becoming more dangerous lately, Isara-chan…" answered Nanoha back while calmly explaining the reason that made her decided to train both Fūka and Mitsuki as per-their own request. "I asked Vivi-san's mother…I mean Nanoha-san to train me with my combat tactic, as fighting against multiple enemies at the same time can be a little tricky after all…" added Fūka before mentioning her reason for participated in Nanoha's combat training session this afternoon.
"How about you, Mitsuki-san?" asked Ave instead this time around, as he also personally interested to hear Mitsuki Hokuto's reason for participating in combat training session that Nanoha has personally organised this afternoon. "Hmmm, I only wish to improve myself, Ave-san. Especially with Break The World brought not only powerful allies but enemies as well with it…" politely answered Mitsuki Hokuto back, as she decided to also outline the very reason that made her train under the legendary Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Ace of Aces, captain Nanoha Takamachi herself. "Well, I can't blame you for that, Mitsuki-san. Since we literally have gods, goddesses, angels, fallen angels, devils and demons as our allies, as well as enemies after Break The World fuse multiple different realities into one. Again, they also as concerned as ourselves after finding that humanity are also more than capable of creating and obtaining power that could even rival themselves after all…" responded Ave, as Mitsuki only politely smiled while affirmatively nodding back at him as well, in return.
"Haru-san once told me that those Type-94s are capable of protecting Tokyo from rogue demons as well as fallen angels' attack during the Second Tokyo Twilight Disaster until Kuō Academy's Occult Research Club's members arrive to assist them. While members from Xanadu Research Club are also present on that day, they were unfortunately busy fighting hordes of enemies that also emerge from both Eclipses and Pandora. Because of that, none of them were able to assist those Type-94s' Eishi when they defend Tokyo from those aforementioned rogue demons and fallen angels as well, I believe…" added Fūka while mentioning the story that she heard from Einhalt in the past. "Is that true, mister Ave? Miss Nanoha?" once again asked Isara, as she definitely curious to hear more about what happened when Special Duty Section 6 and Squad 422, "The Nameless" decided to visit United States of Japan while leaving Squad 7 behind under ZEUTH's care.
"Fūka's story is mostly correct, Isara. Although those Type-94s are not the only one that fought against those rogue demons and fallen angels during Second Tokyo Twilight Disaster alone, I believe. Since both Brave Express Team and Ratatoskr were also assisting us as well, after all…" answered Ave before letting his beloved adoptive older sister, Nanoha to further explain the aforementioned incident that transpire when they together with Special Duty Section 6 visit United States of Japan's capital city, Nouvelle Tokyo City as per-Senpūji Concern's official request. "Hayate-chan has contacted Maito-kun and Kotori-chan prior to our arrival in Nouvelle Tokyo City back then, Isara-chan. Because of that, both Brave Express Team and Ratatoskr manage to assist us during Second Tokyo Twilight Disaster, in which rogue demons and fallen angels decided to take advantage together with some of those Coalition of Old Governments' remnants…" added Nanoha while further explaining both Brave Express Team and Ratatoskr's involvement on defending Nouvelle Tokyo City during Second Tokyo Twilight Disaster in the past.
"Still, I never expect that 666 and those rogue demons, as well as fallen angels under its leadership would ally themselves with Coalition of Old Governments' remnants, Vivi-san's mother. Especially with how Coalition of Old Governments have previously happen to be the Old Faction's ally, the mortal enemy of 666 itself. Is this kind of unexpected development has actually anything to do with Break The World?" curiously asked Fūka while mentioning on how unusual for Coalition of Old Governments' remnants to ally themselves with 666 (Trihexa) and its army of rogue demons as well as fallen angels. "I also am curious to hear any story behind it as well. Since no one ever actually told us about what happened on that day, as well as how DxD in which Kuō Academy's Occult Research Club belongs to has later on formally become part of ZEUTH…" added Isara, as she was also looking forward to hear more story and explanation from Nanoha herself.
"I think Ave-kun or Mitsuki-chan would be able to explain it better…" calmly suggested Nanoha before she gave her beloved adopted younger brother, Ave an approving nod as well afterwards. "I unfortunately can only reveal any information that isn't confidential, as Zodiac still wary for another similar situation might once again occur in the future if any extremists such as Coalition of Old Governments' remnants found out about the truth behind it…" briefly explained Mitsuki Hokuto while smiling at Fūka and Isara as well, in return. "The truth behind it…" muttered Fūka and Isara almost simultaneously, as they were wondering about Mitsuki Hokuto's word just now.
"It actually is a long story. Shall we move to PX and continue our discussion there instead?" suggested Ave, as he noticed on how Nanoha and Mitsuki gave him an approving nod for his suggestion just now. "I also am agree with mister Ave's suggestion, as we might disturb others for hanging around here after all. Shall we get going now miss Fūka?" replied Isara back, as she also personally agree to continue their conversation in PX area instead. "Osu! I also am actually quite hungry and might have another meal while listening at Ave-san's story as well…" added Fūka before she also grinning at the older young Time Diver's candidate, Ave as well, in return. It was on the way to PX area that Nanoha telepathically contact her beloved adopted younger brother, Ave before asking him a question afterwards.
"Are you sure about telling Fūka-chan, Isara-chan and Mitsuki-chan the story behind it, Ave-kun? Since it was something that would involve your past life and simultaneously invoke any unpleasant memories of yours as well…" telepathically asked Nanoha, as she certainly feel concerned over her beloved adopted younger brother, Ave's mental and emotional wellbeing. "I will be fine, Nanoha-san. Thanks for worrying about me…" replied Ave back telepathically before reassuringly smiled at his beloved adoptive older sister, Nanoha as well, in return. "Ave-kun…" muttered Nanoha alone under her breath, as she reluctantly agree with Ave's decision to tell Fūka and Isara story of his past life's old world, in which Coalition of Old Governments that worship the so called Old Faction originated. It was when Nanoha regretted her decision for suggesting Ave or Mitsuki to answer Fūka and Isara's question about what happened during Second Tokyo Twilight Disaster last year.
"I already made up my mind not to dwell and live in my past memories alone, Nanoha-san. Because of that, despite of small doubt and worries that still linger within me, I decided to continue moving toward the future with smile on my face and hope in my heart. Since everyone will always be there to support me, as we continue our journey in this vivid present as well, I believe…" once again reassured Ave telepathically, as he already made up his mind to let Fūka and Isara knew about everything that happened during Second Tokyo Twilight Disaster, as well as Coalition of Old Governments' involvement on it.
Nanoha in return was only smiling back at Ave, as worries and concerns that she previously had in mind started to slowly disappear. Her adopted younger brother, Ave has once again reassured Nanoha that he already left his past old life behind together with every trouble and regret that previously weighted him. Because of that, Nanoha decided to believe in her adopted younger brother, Ave's decision, as he explained everything that he knew and not strictly confidential about Second Tokyo Twilight Disaster, as well as Coalition of Old Governments' involvement on it. Even when he must once again confront his forgotten past by doing so, Ave would definitely be fine. Since Ave would no longer be alone, as he continue to move forward in this vivid present with a smile on his face and hope in his heart.
ED Theme Song: Iris (Performed By: Aoi Eir)
"Are you okay, Einhalt?" asked Ave, as his prized CW-GN-001REIV Gundam Exia Repair IV or Gundam Exia Flügel was kneeling beside her. "I'm fine, Ave-san. Although keeping these enemies busy for another five minutes or so would definitely proven quite challenging as well, I believe…" calmly answered Einhalt back while once again readying her Kaiser Arts-combat stance as well, simultaneously. "You're right, Einhalt. Especially after Sieglinde accidentally teleport us to the other side of Sarcophagus City, a location in which Teana and Subaru are currently investigating together with Fate-san, Erio and Caro…" acknowledged Ave before he also mention on how Sieglinde has accidentally teleport both Ave in his Gundam Exia Flügel and Einhalt away by completing the translation on the dark tower's murals, as well as carving not so long ago.
"At least, none of us have been teleported to another world by accident, Ave-san. Since it definitely give us more trouble if happening, I believe…" responded Einhalt back while smiling reassuringly towards Ave as well, in return. Ave in the meantime decided to remain quiet for a moment, as he cleaved another enemy's humanoid combat machine, AGX-12 Ezekiel vertically into two using Exia Flügel's GN Buster Sword II. "It without doubt will be troublesome if we end up in another world by accident, Einhalt. Especially with Exia unable to deploy its new Seven Swords for some reason…" replied Ave while simultaneously also acknowledging Einhalt's respond just now. "At least Exia is still armed with GN Buster Sword II and GN Sword III, Ave. Since things might have been worse if you and Einhalt are ended up completely unarmed when arriving…" added Teana, as she has now arming herself with a pair of CW-AEC09M Javelin "mass production model" AEC Armaments instead of her signature CW-AEC09X-2 Oxtongue AEC Armament.
"It definitely is better than arriving unarmed, Teana. Although having to face these Balmarian's Ezekiel units only with GN Buster Sword II and GN Sword III is also proven challenging as well, at the same time…" calmly responded Ave back, as he already took another Ezekiel unit down using Exia Flügel's GN Sword III this time around. "I'm sure that would only affect ye and Exia temporarily, Ave. Ye shouldn't worry too much about it and focus your strength on these enemies instead…" bluntly replied Vita while advising her beloved Hayate's younger boyfriend, Ave to not worry about how Exia Flügel's inability to deploy its new Seven Swords after getting teleported accidentally together with Einhalt not so long ago. It was also when Einhalt decided to add something after she listened at Vita's blunt reply and advise just now.
"I also agree with Vita-san's assessment just now. Because of that, we should definitely focus our strength and attention at these enemies first, Ave-san…" added Einhalt before she executed her ultimate signature attack spell, Hegemon Sky-severing Knuckle or "Haō Dankū Ken" towards a pair of incoming AGX-12 Ezekiel units. "Hopefully it would recover soon though, Vita-san, Einhalt. Since Exia's new Seven Swords are undoubtedly more versatile and powerful compare to both GN Buster Sword II and GN Sword III, unfortunately…" once again responded Ave while explaining his concern over Exia Flügel's inability to deploy its new Seven Swords that consisted of one single unit of GN Tachi, a pair of GN Bayonets, a pair of GN Battle Swords and a pair of GN Battle Blades.
"It will definitely fix itself up, Ave. Now, shall we defeat these remaining Ezekiel and rendezvous with others? I might be able to take most of them down using Starlight now…" reassured Teana before she informed Ave, Einhalt and Vita about the possibility for her to take most of these enemies down using her ultimate Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell, Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike later on. "That's a good idea, girl! Although ye should remember that we fight these annoying pests in confined concrete jungle instead of wide playing field…" reminded Vita using her Vita-centric accented tone, as she praised Teana for the idea of using Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike to defeat most of their enemies simultaneously.
"I don't think it would be a problem, Vita-san. Since Teana-san has made some adjustments after we visited Irithyll of the Boreal Valley in the past. Uhm, am I right, Teana-san?" politely explained Einhalt with her calm voice tone before she successfully dodge another enemy's Ezekiel unit that tried to crush her using its oversized battle axe by jumping back towards Exia Flügel's position. Ave that instantly noticed Einhalt's presence next to his prized quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Flügel, quickly cleaved the aforementioned Ezekiel unit vertically into two using GN Buster Sword II. "Are you okay, Einhalt? Don't let your guard down…" asked Ave before he took another incoming Ezekiel unit down by horizontally cleaving it into two with Exia Flügel's GN Buster Sword II as well, this time around.
"I'm fine, Ave-san. Thanks for rescuing me just now…" thanked Einhalt before once again readying her Kaiser Arts-combat stance as well, in return. "You definitely have a good memory, Einhalt. Also, you are right about how casting Starlight here would not be a problem after I made some adjustments on it…" responded Teana, as she simultaneously acknowledged the aforementioned younger Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos' explanation before. "Leave those enemies with us, Tea! We keep them busy until you get Starlight ready…" promised Subaru before she leaped and landed right next to her best friend and lover, Teana as well, afterwards. "Tsche! It took ye that long to beat that monster over there. Have ye not face it before in the past?" scolded Vita, as she glared at the legendary young Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Silver Ace, Subaru Nakajima while taking another Ezekiel unit down with her EM Equipment, Proto Cannon as well, simultaneously.
"Nanoha-san helped me to defeat that thing in the past, first lieutenant Vita. So, it surely is normal for me to defeat this enemy, the slithering Death Cross by myself alone, after all…" argued Subaru back while using her Sword Breaker-equipped left arm to block an incoming Ezekiel's gigantic battle axe in front of her. "Meh! No one pilots this Death Cross like the one we encounter in the past, Subaru. Because of that, it should without doubt easier for ye to defeat this unmanned Death Cross, I believe…" responded Vita back, as she decided to also mention any significant differences that this unmanned Death Cross or Judecca had with the one that the young Silver Ace, Subaru Nakajima herself fought in the past. It was after she completely block and shatter the incoming Ezekiel's gigantic battle axe using CW-AEC07M Sword Breaker "mass production model" AEC Armament that Subaru finally answer the said petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita's question while smiling at her as well, in return.
"Unmanned or not, Death Cross or Judecca is certainly dangerous and shouldn't be taken lightly, Vita-san. It already is a considerably outstanding feat for Subaru to defeat this monstrosity alone, as I would also struggle to do so myself after all…" stated Ave, as he decided to remind Vita of Death Cross, Judecca's power that once almost completely obliterate both ninth and eleventh newborn worlds during the First Defensive War itself. Vita in the meantime was only letting a small sigh out before giving Ave an affirmative nod as well, afterwards. "Uhm, are we still planning to take most if not the entire enemies out using Teana-san's Starlight, everyone? Since we couldn't drag our battle here much longer, I believe…" politely enquired Einhalt while hoping that Vita, Ave and Subaru would still agree to let Teana cast her ultimate Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell, Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike at the same time.
"Certainly, Einhalt! Because of that, we should keep these Ezekiel hordes busy until Tea ready to completely obliterate them using Starlight…" affirmatively answered Subaru, as she clenched both of her fists and confidently grinned at the said young Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos in return. "I should be able to take out four or five more of these Ezekiel until Teana ready, everyone. Or else, Exia would need to activate its Trans-Am System and defeat more enemies, in which I personally rather not do…" added Ave before he decided to also remind Subaru, Einhalt, Vita and Teana about his reluctance to activate Exia's Trans-Am System. "There is no need for ye to activate Exia's Trans-Am. Since I will crush any enemies that manage to get away from ye, Ave!" reassured Vita while declaring her intention to completely defeat any enemies that somehow manage to get away from Ave and his quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Flügel. Ave in return was only letting a small chuckle out before he decided to thank the said petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita for helping him fight any of these Ezekiel hordes until Teana ready to obliterate them with her Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike.
"Thanks, Vita-san. It definitely is a great help to have you fight the rest of these Ezekiel hordes after all…" thanked Ave while readying his Exia Flügel's GN Buster Sword II simultaneously. "Tsche! It really isn't a big deal, as we certainly need to keep these annoying enemies busy until Teana and her Starlight ready…" casually responded Vita back using her usual rough Vita-centric voice tone, as she destroy two incoming Ezekiel units in front of her. Shortly after she took those two aforementioned incoming Ezekiel units down, Vita noticed on how her EM Equipment, Proto Cannon's battery has almost completely empty. It also when the said petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita let an exasperated sigh out before she made a remark about the capacity of her EM Equipment, Proto Cannon's battery afterwards.
"The capacity of this piece of junk's battery is definitely inferior compare to Strike Cannon's GN Condenser! I wonder why Hayate's still keep some of these inferior EM Equipments instead of having AEC Armaments to replace them completely…" stated Vita, as she inspected the remaining battery's power of her EM Equipment, Proto Cannon even more carefully. "Will it last until I completed Starlight, first lieutenant Vita?" telepathically asked Teana while preparing her Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell, Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike at the same time. "I don't think so. Yet, it won't be a problem, as I can just use Eisen to smash them when this piece of junk's battery has completely gone…" responded Vita back, as she reassured Teana that none of her combat strength would be compromised after her EM Equipment, Proto Cannon's battery depleted completely. Vita's faithful Armed Device, Graf Eisen also simultaneously approved her respond as well, shortly afterwards.
"Jawohl!"
"Let me help you as well, first lieutenant Vita!" exclaimed Subaru while offering her assistance after she took another Ezekiel down with her ultimate Inherent Skill, Oscillating Breaker just now. "I should be able to deal with these enemies myself. Yet, thanks for yer help, Subaru…" thanked Vita using her usual Vita-centric voice tone while grinning at the said Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Silver Ace, Subaru Nakajima as well, in return. Subaru in the meantime also grinned back at Vita before she readied her Armed Device, Revolver Knuckle at the same time. Unlike her eldest sister, Ginga that equip Revolver Knuckle on her left arm, Subaru's Revolver Knuckle was equipped on her right arm. Because of that Ginga in return equip CW-AEC07M Sword Breaker "mass production model" AEC Armament on her right arm, as Subaru always has it equipped on her left arm instead. Nevertheless, such minor arrangement has definitely never compromise Subaru and Ginga's strength, as they have proven themselves once in particular during the infamous Purge of Blood Incident.
"Don't get too excited, Subaru. Since you have a tendency for being careless when that happens…" telepathically reminded Teana, as Subaru only sheepishly laughed when she heard that. "You such a worrywart, Tea. I will be fine, as this body of mine is strong enough to take Wildwűrger's Stag Beetle Crusher directly and survive from that…" responded Subaru back telepathically before she exclaimed on how her (and Ginga's) combat cyborg-augmented body should be proven strong enough to withstand any of these Ezekiel's blows head on. Teana in return was only letting a small sigh out before once again reminded her closest best friend and love interest, Subaru to act cautiously against these never ending waves of Ezekiel hordes in front of them. "Just don't do anything careless and follow first lieutenant Vita's instruction, Subaru…" calmly reminded Teana before she resumed the preparation of her ultimate Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell, Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike afterwards.
"I will protect Subaru-san's back in the meantime, Teana-san. Because of that, please rest assure that she will be fine and well protected. I promise you that…" reassured Einhalt before she positioned herself next to the older Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Silver Ace, Subaru Nakajima and readying her Kaiser Arts-combat stance as well, at the same time. "Thanks, Einhalt. I know that we can always depend on you…" thanked Teana while smiling at the said younger Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos as well, in return. "Nove always told me on how dependable Einhalt is, Tea. Because of that, I'm sure things would definitely turn out to be fine with her watching over my back…" added Subaru before she charged towards a pair of Ezekiel units that just emerged from temporal fissure of dimensional rifts in front of her.
Einhalt in the meantime was only blushing slightly when Subaru mentioned on how her beloved coach, Nove has always secretly praised her. While obliterating another Ezekiel in front of her with her one and only (aimed) shooting spell, Hegemon Sky-breaking Sever or "Haō Kūha Dan", Einhalt took a quick glance at Subaru and Teana's direction before letting a small chuckle out afterwards. Einhalt cherished both Subaru and Teana, as much as how she cherished her beloved Vivio and Ave. Because of that, she always tried her very best to support them without fail. It was a small promise and resolve that the young Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos made on that fateful day when Break The World occurred, as she would definitely fulfil it without fail.
Another four Ezekiel units emerged from the remaining temporal fissure of dimensional rifts, as Einhalt swiftly took the one closest to her down with her magically enhanced uppercut known as Rising Moon or "Shōgetsu". Thanks to Einhalt's initiative to take the closest Ezekiel down with her magically enhanced uppercut, Rising Moon or "Shōgetsu", Subaru were able to get closer to the remaining three unsuspected Ezekiel units and obliterate them completely using her powerful (aimed) bombardment spell, Divine Buster Zero Range at point-blank range. "Pheeew! That was close…" casually muttered Subaru before she grinned at Einhalt's direction and thanking her for swiftly took the first emerging Ezekiel down just now.
"I only did my part, Subaru-san. Since you are the one that actually manage to defeat the rest of them just now…" politely replied Einhalt back while mentioning the fact on how Subaru's powerful (aimed) bombardment spell, Divine Buster Zero Range was the one that truly save them instead. "Still, your swift respond just now has given me enough time to shoot them down with Divine Buster, Einhalt. You should be more proud of your achievement and take credits from it!" insisted Subaru while reminding Einhalt on how it truly was her swift initial responds by taking the first Ezekiel down with magically enhanced uppercut, Rising Moon or "Shōgetsu" that they could successfully repel those entire four Ezekiel units completely. Nevertheless, both Einhalt and Subaru were fully aware on how tens or even probably hundreds more of these Ezekiel hordes would emerge from those temporal fissure of dimensional rifts in front of them. Only with Teana's Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike that they could hope to completely obliterate them together with those aforementioned multiple temporal fissure of dimensional rifts after all.
Because of that, as more Ezekiel hordes emerge from temporal fissure of dimensional rifts, Einhalt and Subaru once again renewed their assault to take them down as many as they possibly could. Thankfully, Einhalt and Subaru were not the only one that decided to thin those Ezekiel hordes down, as Vita and Ave have already done the same. On the other side of the battlefield, Einhalt and Subaru saw the older petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita and Ave's Exia Flügel took multiple incoming Ezekiel hordes down using their respective armaments, EM Equipment known as Proto Cannon and GN Buster Sword II. It wasn't long before Vita decided to threw away now useless EM Equipment, Proto Cannon away and switched to her newly upgraded Armed Device, Graf Eisen Modified afterwards.
Similar to Signum's Lævatein Modified, Vita's Graf Eisen Modified was equipped with the newly upgraded special program cartridge "Tempest" in which previously used during Alternative and Unlimited World's BETA Wars, as well as Frozen Teardrop Incident. These "Tempest" special program cartridge proven to be effective in the end, as they were mass produced and later on customised to each of their users' need or preference. Lævatein Modified's special program cartridge was officially named Wirbelwind while Graf Eisen Modified's special program cartridge formally known by the name Brummbär. Because of that, both Signum's Lævatein Modified and Vita's Graf Eisen Modified would sometimes known as "Lævatein Wirbelwind" and "Graf Eisen Brummbär", similar to how their beloved meister, Hayate Yagami's Schwertkreuz Modified has been referred as "Schwertkreuz Waffenträger" after receiving its own "Tempest" special program cartridge.
"The 42nd Full Drive Mode release! Panzerwerfer!" shouted Vita, as she activates Graf Eisen Brummbär's new Limit Break Form or Full Drive Mode in which happen to be a lot more powerful than its original counterpart, "Zerstörungsform". In front of her, six Ezekiel units have just emerged from another new temporal fissure of dimensional rifts while arming themselves with Olga Cannons and Laser Blades instead of the obsolete oversized battle axes in which happen to be closely similar to EB-06 Graze's own GR-H01 9.8m battle axe. Nevertheless, Vita never actually found those six Ezekiel units intimidating, as she instead decided to obliterate them using one of her magic-enhanced attack spell's variant that would exploded after hitting its targets, "Flammeschlag".
"Take this! Flammeschlag!" roared Vita, as she obliterates those aforementioned six Ezekiel units using her upgraded Armed Device, Graf Eisen Brummbär. Another group of five Ezekiel units in which have emerged from another temporal fissure of dimensional rifts previously were trying to caught Vita off guard. Yet, they were failed completely when Ave in his quasi-fifth generation Gundam, Exia Flügel swiftly defeat them with GN Buster Sword II. "Are you okay, Vita-san?" asked Ave, as he turned his attention towards the aforementioned petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita shortly afterwards. "Tsche! Never expect that some of these enemies tried to attack me from behind. Thanks Ave, for yer help just now…" thanked Vita while simultaneously voicing her displeasure over those five Ezekiel units that has tried to caught her off guard.
"You're welcome, Vita-san. Nevertheless, let us keep these enemies busy until Teana ready to completely obliterate them using Starlight…" responded Ave back before he decided to once again readying Exia Flügel's combat stance when another larger group of twelve Ezekiel units once again emerged from multiple newly formed temporal fissure of dimensional rifts in front of him (them). Armed with Exia Flügel's GN Buster Sword II, Ave initiated his first strike against those twelve Ezekiel units while having Vita to help him with that. "Don't get too excited, Ave. That is usually when ye mess up…" reminded Vita, as she took four of those Ezekiel units down using her signature (guided) shooting spell, Schwalbefliegen Claymore. Ave in the meantime was only smiling before he decided to also take the nearest Ezekiel unit down using Exia Flügel's GN Buster Sword II.
"I try my best to fight more carefully from now own, Vita-san. Even though Nanoha-san, Hayate-san and Vivio also used to fight quite recklessly as well, I believe…" calmly and casually replied Ave back, as he also promised Vita to fight more carefully in return. "That was never really a good example and I don't think they ever done that anymore, Ave. Because of that, ye no longer could make any excuse about yer recklessness in the battlefield…" responded Vita back before she smashed another Ezekiel unit down using her faithful Armed Device, Graf Eisen Brummbär. "A, ha, ha, ha. I could only try my best, Vita-san. Since the intensity of heated battle could be proven quite overwhelming sometimes…" added Ave while replying back at Vita's respond just now. It was also when he decided to take another two Ezekiel units down using Exia Flügel's GN Buster Sword II as well, simultaneously. Vita in which also just smashed another Ezekiel unit down using her faithful Armed Device, Graf Eisen Brummbär was only letting a small sigh out before she once again responded back at Ave's reply shortly afterwards.
"Skilful combatant should always keep his or her own composure in the middle of heated battle, Ave. Since only a swift and humiliating total defeat would awaits someone that failed to control his or her own emotion…" once again reminded Vita while responding back at Ave's reply as well, in return. "It also is the same with Bureau's Executive Officer and any A to S-rank mages, Vita-san. Since we also are measured for our ability to accomplish any given tasks or missions with remarkable efficiency and style as well, after all…" once again added Ave, as he also simultaneously acknowledge the reminder that Vita gave him just now. "Well, that's a relief to see ye not completely forget about that, Ave. Now, let's crush these enemies first before we continue our discussion afterward…" responded Vita back while suggesting that she and Ave should crush the remaining Ezekiel units in front of them first.
The said petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita's suggestion was definitely correct, as she together with Ave should take some of these enemies down until Teana ready to completely obliterates them all using her ultimate Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell, Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike. Since only by doing so, both Ave and Vita certain that every single enemy together with temporal fissure of dimensional rifts in which they came from would completely be destroyed. It also when Ave and Vita renewed their relentless assaults toward Ezekiel units that slowly began to outnumber them. Nevertheless, both the aforementioned young Time Diver, Ave J.C Takamachi and Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita Yagami manage to contain most of these incoming Ezekiel units while letting Subaru and Einhalt fought some that already arrived beforehand via those temporal fissure of dimensional rifts around them.
In the end, it wasn't long until Teana completed her preparation to fire Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike, as she signalled Ave, Vita, Subaru and Einhalt to retreat afterwards. Ave and Vita decided to respectively take down another pair of Ezekiel units as they retreated to the designated point in which Teana's faithful Intelligent Device, Cross Mirage has previously inform them. Subaru and Einhalt also took another pair of Ezekiel units down using their respective ultimate attack spells, an Inherent Skill known as Oscillating Breaker or "Vibration Shatter" for Subaru's case and the enhanced version of Hegemon Sky-severing Knuckle or "Haō Dankū Ken" for Einhalt's case, known as True Hegemon Sky-severing Knuckle or "Shin Haō Dankū Ken". Once Ave, Vita, Subaru and Einhalt successfully retreated to the safety, Teana decided to execute her ultimate Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell that would completely eradicate the remaining enemies together with temporal fissure of dimensional rifts around them.
"Gather, brilliance of stars! Tear through everything in a blaze of light! Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike!"
It was when Ave saw a brilliant white light began to swallow the entire area while simultaneously obliterating every single Ezekiel unit and temporal fissure of dimensional rift in it. "Wooow…" gasped Subaru in awe, as she noticed on how Teana's Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike has certainly becoming even more powerful ever since when she first use it during Mariage Incident. "It definitely powerful and also beautiful as well…" calmly remarked Einhalt when staring at Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike's brilliant white light with her mismatched purple and blue eyes. "Well, it certainly more powerful than Hayate's Claíomh Solais albeit having a lot longer preparation time, unfortunately…" added Vita before she decided to let a small sigh out while resting her faithful Armed Device, Graf Eisen Brummbär on the ground. Ave that witnessed Teana's Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell, Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike from Exia Flügel's 360-degree panoramic cockpit was only smiling, as he replied back at Subaru, Einhalt and Vita's remark just now.
"Nonetheless, Starlight has once again save our lives. Because of that, we could wrap up our investigation here and rendezvous with Hayate-san, as well as Signum-san…" calmly replied Ave back, as he scanned through the entire area using Exia Flügel's sensor at the same time. "I agree with Ave-san. Since it truly is thanks to Teana-san's Starlight that we could completely eradicate our enemies together with temporal fissure of dimensional rifts in which they came from…" affirmatively responded Einhalt while smiling at both Ave's Exia Flügel and Teana's direction as well, in return. "It still a little too early to celebrate. We need to wait until Ave's Exia Flügel complete its scan…" reminded Vita before she stretched both arms upward and grinned at Einhalt as well, shortly afterwards. Einhalt in the meantime was only give the said older petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita an affirmative nod before once again turned her gaze towards Ave's Exia Flügel and Teana.
"How is it, Tea?" asked Subaru using her compact wireless headset while simultaneously decided to also scan the entire area with her faithful Device, Mach Caliber AX's help. "Cross Mirage has confirmed our enemies and temporal fissure of dimensional rifts' destruction, Subaru. For now, we just wait until Ave's Exia Flügel completed its scan as well…" answered Teana back using her own compact wireless headset, as she simultaneously confirm that none of their enemies and any temporal fissure of dimensional rifts have somehow manage to escape after all. It also when Teana decided to swap her AEC Armament, CW-AEC09X-2 Oxtongue's overheated barrel pipe with a spare that she always bought with her.
"It was quite unfortunate that Oxtongue's barrel pipe always break down when I cast Starlight, as it also reminds me to Banagher's Silver Bullet Suppressor for having similar problem as well…" muttered Teana alone under her breath, as she was comparing CW-AEC09X-2 Oxtongue AEC Armament with CW-ARX-014S Silver Bullet Suppressor in which Banagher Links' use as his personal unit after CW-RX-0 Unicorn Gundam has been sealed away in Time-Space Administrative Bureau and Caledfwlch Technique's orbital facility, Einherial.
Similar to Oxtongue's barrel pipe that broke down everytime it fired Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell such as Starlight Breaker, Silver Bullet Suppressor's right arm was always end up malfunctioning and even break down after each shot it fired using Unicorn Gundam's beam magnum. Nevertheless both CW-AEC09X-2 Oxtongue AEC Armament and CW-ARX-014S Silver Bullet Suppressor were performing extremely well above their respective user's expectation. Because of that, despite the aforementioned minor trouble that still somehow existed, Teana found that CW-AEC09X-2 Oxtongue AEC Armament has truly compatible to her, as much as how Banagher found that CW-ARX-14S Silver Bullet Suppressor also suited him extremely well.
"Result from Exia's scan has just arrived. It seems no enemies or temporal fissure of dimensional rifts manage to survive Executive Officer Lanster's Starlight…" informed Ave, as Exia Flügel has just completing its area scan for any enemies and temporal fissure of dimensional rifts that survived Teana's Breaker-class or collection-type bombardment spell, Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike. "Mach Caliber also said the same thing, Ave-san! It seems that we could now conclude our investigation and rendezvous with commander Yagami as well as first lieutenant Signum…" added Subaru while responding back at Ave as well, in return. "That is definitely good to hear such outcome. Now let us waste no time and wrap everything up here…" instructed Vita before she climbed and sat on top of Exia Flügel's left shoulder.
Shortly after they wrap up their investigation, Ave, Einhalt, Subaru, Teana and Vita swiftly retreated in order to rendezvous with Hayate and Signum. "Is everything okay, Einhalt?" asked Teana, as she noticed on how Einhalt was staring on the area in which tens to hundreds Ezekiel together with temporal fissure of dimensional rifts previously emerged. "Everything is fine, Teana-san. Since I might saw someone that should never been here in the first place after all…" politely replied Einhalt while reassuring Teana that she was just mistook something with someone that should never existed in this dying world after all. Teana in return was only smiling and affirmatively nod back at Einhalt after she decided not to ask further question afterwards. It was also when Teana decided to give Einhalt a lift on the back of her modified custom motorbike, Ducati XDiavel 1260S.
Once again, as Teana accelerated her modified custom Ducati XDiavel 1260S motorbike, Einhalt took another quick glance at the direction in which she previously saw someone or something familiar. Yet, as Einhalt took another quick glance towards the aforementioned direction for one last time, her mismatched purple and blue eyes found nothing other than an empty spot in which Teana's Starlight Breaker Phantom Strike has struck not so long ago. "It might just my imagination that I saw her in this dying world. Since she should already departed to the reverse side of these eternal realities while carrying humanity's sins and hopes with her…" muttered Einhalt alone under her breath before she decided to dismiss it, as a mistake on her part. Unbeknownst to Einhalt however, she did saw this aforementioned certain individual, Rita Bernal and her beloved Unicorn Gundam Unit 03, Phenex before they vanished completely afterwards.
To Be Continued…
