Episode 33
~ Destiny of Three Fates (Part V) ~
Elegy For The Dying World
"So, Exia Flügel's new Seven Swords suddenly returned after we defeat those Ezekiel hordes and left that battlefield behind. I never thought it would be that convenient, Ave…" commented Teana while riding her modified custom motorbike, Ducati XDiavel 1260S next to the aforementioned Gundam Exia Repair IV or Exia Flügel itself. "It certainly is convenient, Teana. Since Exia could now performing on its full potential, I believe. Still, we should always remain vigilant for any ambushes when trying to rendezvous with Hayate-san…I mean commander Yagami and Signum-san…" replied Ave back using Exia Flügel's communication device, in return. "I agree with Ave-san's reply, as our enemies are most likely still trying to ambush us after we defeated their Ezekiel hordes before. Don't you agree with that as well, Tea? Einhalt?" acknowledged Subaru before she decided to ask Teana and Einhalt for their opinion as well, not long afterwards.
"As long as we are not end up becoming overly paranoid, there is nothing wrong for us to always remain vigilant for any possible enemy ambushes, Subaru-san…" calmly answered Einhalt while wrapping her arms around Teana's waist from behind, as the latter tried to maintain her modified custom motorbike, Ducati XDiavel 1260S' cruising speed. "I agree with you two. Since the fact that Exia Flügel's new Seven Swords has suddenly returned would be advantageous for us. Am I right, Ave?" added Teana, as she casually made a remark on how Exia Flügel's presence together with its new Seven Swords that has just returned would certainly proven to be advantageous for them. "I believe so, Teana. Although, it would still better of us to remain vigilant until we rendezvous with commander Yagami and Signum-san…" calmly answered Ave back before he decided to turn his attention towards Vita, in which currently flying next to his quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Flügel while carrying her upgraded faithful Device, Graf Eisen Brummbär at the same time.
"Have you heard anything from commander Yagami and Signum-san, Vita-san?" politely asked Ave, as he was hoping that his beloved older girlfriend and commanding officer, Hayate together with her faithful Knight of the Sword, Signum would have inform Vita of their rendezvous location. The said petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita however was only frowning before she answered his question using her usual snarky Vita-centric tone in return. "Nope! Not even a single respond from telepathic message that I sent has been replied. Man, this is certainly worrying, dammit!" answered Vita back while mentioning that no respond has been received from both Hayate and Signum ever since she tried to contact or send them a telepathic message. It also when Vita's answer just now has started to make Ave worried over his beloved older girlfriend and commanding officer, Hayate's safety as well as wellbeing.
"Have you tried others as well, first lieutenant Vita? Since commander Yagami and first lieutenant Signum might just only happen to be currently out of reach…" asked Subaru this time around, as she was undoubtedly also feel concerned over Hayate and Signum's safety after all. "I've tried with Testarossa, Nanoha and almost everyone that came up in mind. Yet none responded back for some unknown reason…" replied Vita back while letting a small sigh out as well, afterwards. "Strange. Tio has just informs me that he can detect Vivio-san's whereabouts through Chris. Unfortunately I somehow unable to contact her as well…" added Einhalt before mentioning on how her faithful Device Asteion was actually able to locate Vivio and her very own faithful Device, Sacred "Chris" Heart for some reason. Sadly however, Einhalt was also unable to contact Vivio, as something mysterious seems to have completely blocked or isolate her telepathic message.
"Did you find anything unusual, Einhalt? Something like mysterious frequency that jam our telepathy or perhaps even isolate any of it…" asked Teana, as she was also letting her own faithful Device, Cross Mirage to scan the surrounding area using its "Wide Area Search" or "WAS" support spell at the same time. "Sadly no, Teana-san. Since nothing seems to have been out of ordinary after all…" replied Einhalt back, as she turned her attention towards Ave's Gundam Exia Repair IV or Flügel afterwards. "What do you think of it, Ave-san?" asked Einhalt while staring at Exia Flügel with her beautiful mismatched purple and blue eyes simultaneously. "It actually is unsettling when Vita-san failed to contact Hayate-san and Signum-san, as well as you failed to contact Vivio. Nevertheless, we should not let such thing to impair our judgement, as well as jeopardizing this mission, Einhalt…" answered Ave back, as he decided to also remind Einhalt to never let this disconcerting development to affect them negatively.
"I also agree with him, Stratos. Although it definitely is normal for us to worry about them, as much as I, myself…" added Vita before turning her attention at the younger Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos while letting another smile sigh out as well, shortly afterwards. Einhalt in return was only affirmatively nodding back at the said older yet petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita and quietly ponder over her (Vita's) statement as well as Ave's answer just now. It was when Einhalt's mind once again drifting back to a certain memory that she together with Vivio, Fūka, Rinne and Ave experienced in the past, as they fought against Coalition of Old Governments' remnants and save FENRIR's Eastern Europe Branch from total annihilation.
Einhalt, Fūka and Rinne were visiting FENRIR's Eastern Europe Branch to represent Time-Space Administrative Bureau in their exchange cadet program when Coalition of Old Governments or COG decided to mount their assault. Ave in which also arrived with Vivio on the next day to further test the recently upgraded and refurbished Gundam Exia Repair II were also getting inadvertently trapped inside FENRIR's Eastern Europe Branch, as they together with other FENRIR's personnel and young generation of God Eaters. With only Alisa Ilynichna Omelia happens to be the oldest and most seasoned God Eaters available to lead them, FENRIR's Eastern Europe Branch bravely and fiercely resisted Coalition of Old Governments' invading forces while evacuating their non-combatant personnel. It also when Fūka and Rinne first fought together side by side in actual combat under Einhalt's leadership, as each of them use to fight alone by themselves in the past.
Ave often jokingly refers any mission that Rinne participated as Super-route while Fūka's as Real-route. Einhalt sometimes wondered over the meaning behind Super and Real-route, as the only other people that seem familiar with such terminology was commander Hayate Yagami and Vivio. Nevertheless, she decided to ignore them after Fūka and Rinne arrived in FENRIR's East Europe Branch this early summer to accompany her in Time-Space Administrative Bureau's exchange cadet program. Since both Fūka and Rinne's presences have truly helped Einhalt a lot ever since her beloved younger girlfriend, Vivio was away to assist her (Vivio's) beloved Ave-nii testing his upgraded and refurbished Gundam Exia Repair II. Because of that, the sight of Fūka and Rinne working together to defeat their enemies have definitely made Einhalt happy. Since in the end, both Fūka and Rinne have finally able to mend their previously broken friendship by entrusting each other life in this battlefield.
Together with a group of young God Eaters under Alisa Ilynichna Omelia's leadership, Einhalt, Fūka, Rinne, Vivio and Ave manage to hold COG's invading forces in stalemate for four days straight until an unexpected unfortunate development has occurred afterwards. Even when they have been completely isolated, Einhalt has personally remembered clearly on how she together with Fūka, Rinne, Vivio and Ave in his recently upgraded as well as refurbished Gundam Exia Repair II could still fought against the superior number of COG's invading forces evenly. Those young God Eaters under Alisa Ilynichna Omelia's leadership were also proven strong enough to even push the invading COG's special black ops in which infamously known for their atrocity. Everything seems to progress quite smoothly according to Alisa Ilynichna Omelia's strategy until a sudden appearance of never-seen-before type of Aragami almost completely eradicate FENRIR's Eastern Europe Branch, as well as killing Einhalt, Fūka, Rinne, Vivio, Ave and everyone else in the process.
It only thanks to the timely arrival of ZEUTH and Time-Space Administrative Bureau's detachment taskforce led by two of N2R's members, Cinque and Dieci Nakajima that they could finally defeat COG's invading forces together with the aforementioned never-seen-before Aragami breed, in which classified as "Ash Born" or "Aragami of Disaster". From what Einhalt personally remembered, both ZEUTH and Time-Space Administrative Bureau has in the end decided to put this aforementioned incident as another classified case due to the sudden appearance of "Aragami of Disaster" or "Ash Born". According to Vivio's theory and deduction, this "Ash Born" or "Aragami of Disaster" has never previously sighted anywhere in their third newborn world, as Einhalt, Fūka and Rinne started to wonder if it somehow arrived via one of the supposedly dormant Crossgate Paradigm Portal that exist in this aforementioned newborn eternal reality itself.
In the end, no other "Ash Born" or "Aragami of Disaster" has ever appeared until now, as ZEUTH and Time-Space Administrative Bureau's focus were gradually shifted to other emerging incidents in which occurred post-First Defensive War itself. Einhalt only recently remembered this particularly small incident, as it once again resurfaced together with long lost memories of her ancestor, Claus G.S. Ingvalt in which she has previously forgotten. Because of that, every now and then, Einhalt couldn't help herself from remembering them, as she understood very well over the significant importance of one's memories after all. Since one's memories would undoubtedly became our very foundation, as well as guide and moral principle that define us in this contradictory ephemeral yet at the same time eternal existence itself.
"Our memories are precious, Einhalt-san (Einhalt). However, since we can't live on memories alone, you've got to try your best to accept and like yourself more…"
Remembering the very sentence that Vivio and Ave once told her has made Einhalt smiled. She in which unable to escape from her ancestor's phantom previously could slowly learnt to start asserting her own independence from it. Since in the end, Einhalt Stratos or Heidi E.S. Ingvalt's very own existence was never and shall never be treated as a mere extension to fulfil Claus G.S. Ingvalt's dream and wish. Especially after Break The World alter both Olivier Sägebrecht and Claus G.S. Ingvalt's fate by giving them, as well as a number of supposedly demise individuals a second chance of living their life in these countless multiple newborn eternal realities.
Einhalt remembered on how she and Vivio were initially surprised when they first encounter their supposedly deceased ancestors, Olivier Sägebrecht and Claus G.S. Ingvalt during a lengthy campaign against Yshrenian Empire Alliances and GREMLIN across Eastern European Front. From multiple reports that Special Duty Section 6's investigator, Ginga Nakajima has compiled with Executive Officer Teana Lanster's help, Olivier and Claus were helping local resistance groups, as they also looking for their friend, Wilfred Eremiah that most likely have also been resurrected by Break The World itself. Because of that, they (Olivier and Claus) decided to help local resistance groups across Eastern European Front while simultaneously gather any information from them.
In the end, despite the initial surprise after learning that their supposedly long deceased ancestors have been resurrected thanks to Break The World, Vivio and Einhalt still decided to help both Olivier and Claus to find Wilfred Eremiah, in which also happen to be the supposedly long deceased ancestor of their (Vivio and Einhalt's) close acquaintance, Sieglinde Eremiah. Olivier and Claus were forever grateful with Vivio and Einhalt's help, as they could finally found Wilfred Eremiah together with memory vestiges that the former Queen of the Night Sky, Kanae Kagurai left behind for them. It also from those aforementioned memory vestiges alone that Einhalt learnt more about Kanae Kagurai's past and identity as the final Queen of the Night Sky, Hayate Yagami's ancestor or to be more exact another persona.
Nevertheless, there could only be one Queen of the Night Sky that also becoming an official master for Tome of the Night Sky itself. Because of that, unlike Olivier Sägebrecht and Claus G.S. Ingvalt that could coexist with their descendants, Vivio and Einhalt, both Hayate Yagami and Kanae Kagurai would never meant to coexist together unfortunately. In the end, Hayate decided to inherit those aforementioned memory vestiges and continue the very legacy in which Kanae Kagurai has personally left behind. It also when Kanae Kagurai's memory vestiges have becoming part of Hayate's, as well as Reinforce Eins and Ave's very own memories after her Linker Core completely absorbs them.
Those memory vestiges that Kanae Kagurai left behind have indeed precious. Nevertheless, Hayate, Reinforce Eins and Ave knew well enough that they could never live on memories alone. Because of that, while keep on cherishing those aforementioned memory vestiges in which have now becoming part of their own memories, Hayate, Reinforce Eins and Ave decided to always tried their best to protect this very future together with everyone else. It was also when Einhalt once again remembered on how this unexpected development, as well as precious encounter with her supposedly long deceased ancestor, Claus has once again solidify her own resolve to keep the very promise that she previously made when inheriting genetic memories of the said legendary Shutra's Hegemon himself. Since only by doing so that Einhalt could use her prized Kaiser Arts to protect others in which she love and cherished dearly above everything, such as Vivio, Ave and her own beloved protégé Fūka.
Once again Einhalt took another deep breath before letting a small sigh out, as she once again turned her attention at the fast approaching scenery in front of her. While still having both arms completely wrapped around Teana's waist, Einhalt then decided to ask the said older young Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Executive Officer another question afterwards. "Are we still searching for commander Yagami and first lieutenant Signum's current whereabouts, Teana-san?" politely asked Einhalt while trying to familiarize herself with the endless vast scenery that constantly approached them. Teana in the meantime was only smiling, as she answered Einhalt's question while keeping her prized custom motorbike, Ducati XDiavel 1260S' speed steady.
"Yes we are, Einhalt. Since Ave might actually have a good idea to locate them after all…" answered Teana back, as she kept on maintaining her prized custom motorbike, Ducati XDiavel 1260S' speed at the same time. Ave in the meantime decided to also elaborate Teana's answer further by explaining his plan to the said young Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos in which definitely eager to learn more about it. "Using Exia Flügel's Quantum Burst, we might be able to contact Hayate-san…I mean commander Yagami and others, Einhalt. For now, we only need to find a strategic location for Exia Flügel's to do so…" explained Ave while simultaneously elaborating Teana's answer as well, in return.
"Exia Flügel's Quantum Burst…" muttered Einhalt, as she couldn't help herself from feeling amazed over the said quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Repair IV or Exia Flügel that Ave piloted currently. "It somehow reminded me to Seiei-san. Since he was the first Gundam Meister that manage to activate Quantum Burst even before Celestial Being invented Quantum System itself, I believe…" remarked Subaru while simultaneously mentioning Setsuna F. Seiei as the very first Gundam Meister that manage to activate Quantum Burst only with his fourth generation Gundam 00 Raiser back then.
"What he has done back then was expanding human consciousness around the area in which he pilots his 00 Raiser. It utilize 00 Raiser's Trans-Am Burst System to saturate the entire area with concentrated of high-grade GN Particles that in return also create a quantum effect in the process. Trans-Am Burst System would later became a template for the more advanced Quantum System, in which has been installed in Setsuna's 00 Qan [T] and Ave's Exia Flügel. Again both quasi-fifth and fifth generation Gundam is designed and tuned specifically for true Innovator, as our Technical Division 4 has been working closely with Celestial Being's engineer and technician to develop it after all…" elaborated Vita before grinning at both Subaru and Einhalt as well, in return. It was when Subaru and Einhalt quietly nodding back at the said petite Knight of the Iron Hammer herself before they once again turning their attention at the fast approaching scenery in front of them.
"It actually reminds me to Universal Century's Psycho-Frame, as it also capable of expanding human consciousness or even manifest each of their emotion into physical form…" remarked Teana as well, as she finds both Celestial Being's Quantum System and Universal Century's Psycho-Frame are indeed similar to one another. "Uhm, unlike Psycho-Frame however, Celestial Being's Quantum System must deploy high-density GN Particles to achieve quantum effect that expand human's consciousness around it…" politely added Einhalt, as she decided to rectify Teana's statement just now by mentioning a fundamental difference between Celestial Being's Quantum System and Universal Century's Psycho-Frame.
"Thanks for correcting me, Einhalt. I often forgot to mention that fundamental difference between Quantum System and Psycho-Frame as the two of them are similar to one another after all…" thanked Teana before tilting her head slightly and smiled at the said younger Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos as well, afterwards. "You're welcome, Teana-san…" calmly replied Einhalt back, as she also smiled at Teana as well, in return. Right after she replied back at Teana's answer just now, Einhalt once again turned her attention at the aforementioned quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Repair IV or Exia Flügel before asking its Gundam Meister, Ave a question related to both Celestial Being's Quantum System and Universal Century's Psycho-Frame as well, shortly afterwards.
"Uhm, what do you think of them, Ave-san? Do you also agree with the explanation that I gave Teana-san just now?" politely asked Einhalt while staring at Exia Flügel using her beautiful mismatched eyes. Ave in the meantime was only quietly listen at Einhalt's question for a brief moment while trying to also refresh the prior knowledge that he inherited in his memories as well, at the same time. Thankfully, it wasn't take him that long to remember any prior knowledge from his long forgotten old life, as could finally answer Einhalt's question just now. Simultaneously, Ave could also once again confront the supposedly long forgotten memories of his past memories while accepting it as another part of him.
"I agree with you, Einhalt. Despite several differences between Psycho-Frame and Quantum System, they both made for the same purpose. Because of that, both 00 Qan [T] and Nu Gundam are both are actually a lot more similar to one another more than what we have previously thought…" answered Ave back using Exia Flügel's open-channel communication device, as Vita, Subaru and Teana could also heard it. "I thought 00 Qan [T] and Nu Gundam are originally came from two different worlds, Ave-san…" replied Einhalt while pointing out the fact that both GNT-0000 00 Qan [T] and RX-93 Nu Gundam are originally came from two different worlds or dimensions in which unrelated to one another. This time around, Vita decided to respond at Einhalt's reply by elaborating Ave's answer about 00 Qan [T] and Nu Gundam's similarities not so long ago.
"Despite coming from two different worlds, those two Gundam units are certainly having a lot in common. Since they both were created to meet their specific pilots' requirement, in which also happen to be a genuine Innovator and Newtype respectively. Because of that, Einhalt, both 00 Qan [T] and Nu Gundam are without doubt meant to mirror each other's existences in two different realms simultaneously…" added Vita before she concluded her explanation while grinning at the said younger Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos as well, in return. It was when Einhalt decided to give both Vita and Ave an affirmative nod while acknowledging their explanation as well, at the same time. Once again Einhalt decided to turn her attention back at the fast approaching endless scenery of this beautiful yet tragic dying world itself, not long afterwards.
"Still, I am curious of Ave-san's Exia Flügel. Since it has also been equipped with Quantum System and yet in theory still slightly weaker than 00 Qan [T] and Nu Gundam, I believe…" casually stated Subaru, as she also certainly interested to learn more about Ave's quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Repair IV or Exia Flügel's status and overall performance in comparison to both 00 Qan [T] and Nu Gundam themselves. "I heard from Shari-san that Ave's Gundam Exia Flügel's power output and overall performance is comparable to YRA-90A μ Gundam or RX-9/C Narrative Gundam C-Packs, Subaru. Although, based on Cross Mirage and Raising Heart's analysis, its performance is actually a lot more similar to MSN-06S Sinanju Stein or even the said RX-93 Nu Gundam itself…" replied Teana back before she decided to share her own finding with Subaru as well, in return.
"Without Quantum System, Exia Flügel's power output and overall performance is closer to μ instead of Narrative, Teana. Since only when it activates Quantum System that Exia Flügel is becoming as strong as or even stronger than Narrative in its Psycho-Frame equipped C-Packs configuration, I believe…" added Ave, as he more incline to compare his Exia Flügel with both μ and Narrative instead of Sinanju Stein. "I remember that μ Gundam is slightly weaker compare to Nu Gundam, as it maximum output and combat performance is around ninety percents of the latter. Nevertheless, it still is a powerful combat unit by today's standard…" replied Teana while simultaneously agree with Ave's assessment just now. "Is that so, Ave-san?" curiously asked Subaru before turning her attention at Ave's Exia Flügel completely, afterwards.
"It indeed true that Exia Flügel is slightly weaker than Seiei-san's 00 Qan [T]. Although, it also true that Exia Flügel is undoubtedly stronger than any combat unit that ESUN currently had. Hopefully, that would answer your question, Subaru-san…" politely answered Einhalt on Ave's behalf, as she also smiled at the aforementioned older young Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Silver Ace, Subaru Nakajima in return. It was also right after Einhalt concluded her answer that Vita decided to voice her own thought over Ave's quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Repair IV or Exia Flügel while letting a small sigh out as well beforehand.
"It always is a good thing to have strong mobile suit such as Exia Flügel and 00 Qan [T] that could act as deterrent against ESUN's current combat units. Sadly however, such situation would also promote another arm race to invent, manufacture and deploy next generation combat units even when it proven to be unnecessary on doing so…" added Vita before mentioning on how Exia Flügel and 00 Qan [T]'s existences might instead instigate another cold war between Time-Space Administrative Bureau and ESUN. "Hopefully, we won't accidentally send ESUN a wrong message by upgrading Exia R3 into Exia Flügel. Since both Time-Space Administrative Bureau and ESUN are still agree to maintain bilateral tie in third newborn world's defense, as well as combating COG's remnants across this entire newborn eternal reality itself…" replied Teana while inhaled deeply afterwards.
"I don't think Time-Space Administrative Bureau and ESUN would started to get hostile towards one another, Tea. Especially after director Carim and admiral Leti sign a bilateral cooperation pact with president Dorothy and prime minister Édouard Mass at the end of the First Defensive War, one and half a year ago…" reminded Subaru, as she reassuringly grinned at Teana while gliding on her faithful Intelligent Device, XM-01 Mach Caliber AX in which happen to assume its (her) sleeker default form, a pair of roller blades. "You're right. I might have been a little paranoid about it…" responded Teana back before she decided to let a small chuckle out as well, in return. Not long after Teana concluded her respond, she together with Subaru, Einhalt, Vita and Ave in his quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Flügel finally arrive at their destination.
"Let me activate Exia Flügel's Quantum System, everyone. Since hopefully, we could somehow reach Hayate-san, Signum-san and others with it…" suggested Ave, as he started the procedure to activate Exia Flügel's Quantum System afterwards. It was when condensed high-grade GN Particles began to saturate and envelop the area around Ave, Subaru, Teana, Einhalt and Vita, as they noticed on how Exia Flügel began to temporarily purge its armour parts to expel even more GN Particles from underneath it. "Beautiful…" muttered Einhalt alone, as she couldn't help herself from admiring the beauty of Kaiserfarbe-coloured (iridescent) GN Particles that Exia Flügel's newly built and upgraded GN Drive released. Teana in which happen to sit in front of Einhalt was only smiling before acknowledging her (Einhalt's) statement just now.
"I agree with you, Einhalt. These condensed of high-grade Nayuta Particles are always undoubtedly beautiful even after we saw them for countless times in the past…" acknowledged Teana before smiling at the younger Hegemon-girl, Einhalt Stratos as well, in return. "It reminds me on the day when Ave-san pilots his Astraea during Lyle-san and Anew-san's wedding last year. Since Astraea was also releasing those beautiful iridescent Nayuta Particles that saturate the entire wedding venue before it kneeled and congratulate the married couple themselves afterwards. So romantic isn't it, Tea?" added Subaru while reminiscing the day when Ave pilots his personal 2.5th generation Gundam unit, GNY-001A Astraea Type-A during Lockon Stratos and Anew Returner's wedding celebration. It was a month before Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Technical Division 4 upgraded his beloved Astraea using Exia's spare parts in which also happen to elevate its (Astraea's) status from 2.5th generation Gundam to quasi-third generation Gundam afterwards.
It was a private celebration that held in the remote area within HRL territory, as Subaru remembered very well on how endless stretches of magnolia trees were seen across the entire aforementioned remote area itself. According to Celestial Being's young tactical operator, Feldt Grace in which also happen to be 00 Qan [T]'s Gundam Meister, Setsuna F. Seiei's girlfriend, this wedding venue was once used by her late parents to celebrate their wedding after they temporarily retired from Celestial Being. Feldt's parents in which both also happen to be Celestial Being's Gundam Meisters were presumably killed in an accident, as their surviving colleague, Chall Acustica would later on adopted and raised her while continue on working as Celestial Being's covert operative and Gundam Meister as well, simultaneously.
Subaru decided not to pry deeper into Feldt Grace's past that would shed some lights on the early days of Celestial Being's formation. Since none of these past tragedies around its formation could be avoided, even with the time travelling ability of Time Diver themselves. Because of that, they decided to look forward for a better tomorrow instead of changing the past, as Feldt herself once said that she wishes only for a better future for them. Once again, as Subaru remembering the beauty of those iridescent-coloured GN Particles that envelop Lockon Stratos and Anew Returner's wedding venue, she turned her attention at Teana, in which in return decided to respond at her remark just now.
"Yea, it truly is romantic. Wait, are you trying to make me say something cheesy, Subaru?" responded Teana, as she scolded her best friend, Subaru as well, in return. "A, ha, ha, ha…" responded Subaru back with her sheepish laugh before she once again turned her attention at Ave's Exia Flügel. "We are counting on you, Ave-san. Please show us the miracle that you have always done once more…" muttered Subaru alone under her breath while giving Ave and his quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Flügel an approving nod afterwards. Thankfully, Ave manage to saturate the entire area around Sarcophagus City with condensed high-grade GN Particles using Exia Flügel's Quantum System right after Subaru concluded her inner monologue just now. Because of that, it would soon allow Subaru, Teana, Einhalt, Vita and Ave to establish telepathic contact with others in which happen to be scattered across the area around Sarcophagus City itself.
"We should be able to reach Hayate-san and others now. Would anyone wish to try it?" informed Ave before suggesting Subaru, Teana, Einhalt and/ or Vita to contact Hayate, as well as others using their telepathic message. "Let me try to do it, Ave-san…" eagerly responded Einhalt, as she decided to send her telepathic message across the entire area around Sarcophagus City. "Thanks, Einhalt. In the meantime don't let any of your guard down…" thanked Ave back while reminding Einhalt, Subaru, Teana and Vita to never let their guard down.
"Don't worry, Ave-san! I won't let any of our enemies to get close and ambush us!" reassured Subaru cheerfully, as she once again grinned towards Ave and his quasi-fifth generation Gundam, Exia Flügel's direction as well, in return. Teana and Vita in the meantime were also smiling at him before they decided to get ready for any enemy's ambushes. Teana decided to arm herself with her prized AEC Armament, Oxtongue while Vita having her faithful upgraded Armed Device, Graf Eisen Brummbär ready at the same time.
"By the way, have you tried to contact commander Yagami, Vivio or anyone that might be able to hear us, Einhalt?" enquired Teana, as she decided to swap Oxtongue's ammunition cartridge from composite energy bolts to physical ballistic or heavy-metal solid bolts simultaneously. "I've been trying to contact them, Teana-san. Unfortunately however, they have yet replying back to me…" answered Einhalt with a slight disappointed look on her face, as she once again tried to send another telepathic message across the entire area around Sarcophagus City itself. "It might take a while, Einhalt. I'm sure those messages would definitely reach Hayate-san and Vivio in the end…" reassured Ave before letting Einhalt knew that it might take a while for her telepathic message to reach Hayate, Vivio and everyone else. Thankfully, not long after Einhalt sent her second telepathic message, she received respond from one of Vivio's mother, Executive Officer Fate Testarossa Harlaown and Special Duty Section 6's commander, Hayate Yagami in which also happen to be in two different locations within the Sarcophagus City's fringe itself, currently.
"This is Riot 01, Executive Officer Fate T. Harlaown. Can you hear me, Flügel 02, Einhalt?" greeted Fate using telepathic message that seems to echo inside Einhalt's as well as everyone's minds. "Long Arch 00 is also responding back to Flügel 02. Are you able to hear this, Einhalt?" telepathically greeted Hayate right after Einhalt's received Fate's telepathic greeting not so long ago. "We can hear you loud and clear, Executive Officer Testarossa Harlaown, commander Yagami. How is the situation over there?" telepathically responded Einhalt back before asking both Fate and Hayate another question as well, in return. "We ran into an unexpected enemies here, Einhalt. Other than that, things are mostly fine in our ends na…" answered Hayate back, as she reassured Einhalt that everything was still happen to be under control. It also right after she concluded her answer that Hayate decided to ask Einhalt about her beloved younger boyfriend, Ave and faithful Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita.
"By the way, Einhalt. Would you mind if I speak with Ave-kun and Vita-chan privately? There are few things that I would like to discuss with them…" telepathically asked Hayate, as Einhalt quickly gave her an affirmative respond before letting the said Queen of the Night Sky herself to speak with her beloved younger boyfriend, Ave and faithful petite Knight of the Iron Hammer, Vita, privately. "Certainly, commander Yagami. I will patch you through to them shortly…" affirmatively replied Einhalt back before she patched Hayate through private telepathic chat-room together with Ave and Vita afterwards. It also shortly after she let Hayate to speak with Ave and Vita privately that Einhalt received a telepathic answer from Vivio instead of Fate.
"We encounter this scary enemy, Einhalt-san! He was fully naked and powerful while armed with an oversized crude curved blade! Thankfully, Fate-mama, Sieg-san and Viktor-san manage to drove him away not long afterwards…" answered Vivio on Fate's behalf, as she sounds cheerful after finally able to contact her beloved older girlfriend, Einhalt Stratos. "A fully n-naked enemy…" responded Einhalt back while blushing in embarrassment as well, at the same time. "Yea, it also then transformed into a demonic monster from Hero Asteion's fable, Einhalt-san. Nevertheless, Fate-mama, Sieg-san and Viktor-san's combined effort has successfully defeated it in the end…" explained Vivio before she decided to also reassuring her older girlfriend, Einhalt that Fate, Sieglinde and Viktoria have somehow manage to drove it (him) away.
"It actually is a tough fight, Haru-nyan. Still, Viktor, Vivi-chan and Executive Officer Testarossa Harlaown help me to finally beat him. If only Ave-han was here, things would definitely be easier for us na…" innocently added Sieglinde while acknowledging that Viktoria, Vivio and Fate's presences were greatly help her to defeat this demonic monster, in which also happen to be no other than Zodd, The Immortal himself (itself). "I'm glad that you all are fine. Since this monster seems to be actually very dangerous, Sieg-san…" calmly responded Einhalt back before turning her attention towards Subaru, Teana and Ave's Exia Flügel as well, not long afterwards. "Is something wrong, Einhalt?" telepathically asked Viktoria this time around, as she sensed a slight wariness in Einhalt's mind just now.
"Ah! It was nothing! Nothing is wrong, Viktor-san. I only am curious about the discussion that Ave-san is currently participating with first lieutenant Vita and commander Yagami. Hopefully, it wasn't something bad…" frantically answered Einhalt using her telepathic message before personally explaining her wariness over the telepathic discussion that Ave had together with Vita and Hayate privately. "I suppose nothing is exceedingly bad happens to be in their discussion, Einhalt. Since I'm sure commander Yagami would inform every single one of us if such thing has indeed occurring and in need of our immediate attention…" telepathically reassured Viktoria while mentioning that everything will certainly be fine after all. It was right after Viktoria concluded her reassuring reply towards Einhalt's answer just now that Vivio decided to telepathically ask Subaru and Teana about everything that happened in their end.
"So, did you all also encounter something unusual? Subaru-san? Teana-san?" telepathically asked Vivio, as she was certainly curious to hear more about everything that happened so far on their side. "We fought these unmanned AI-controlled Scopedogs from Astragius before an unusual time and space distortion swallow us shortly afterwards. It was when Tea and I met Ave-san and Einhalt-san in which busy fighting hordes of Ze Balmary Empire's Ezekiels probably even before we arrived…" casually answered Subaru using her telepathic message before she told Vivio a story about what have happened with her, Teana, Einhalt and Ave not so long ago. "Uhm, it actually sounds a bit strange for Astragius' Scopedogs and Ze Balmary's Ezekiels to suddenly appear in this world, Subaru-san. Don't you agree with me?" responded Vivio back, as she pointed out the strangest part in Subaru's story just now.
"I know that it might sounds weird, Vivio. But, Subaru and I did fight unmanned Scopedogs in which behaving like members of 24th Melkian Strategic Armoured Trooper Special Operation Corps Unit X-1, Red Shoulder Battalion. Thankfully, we somehow manage to defeat them before a mysterious time and space distortion swallow and teleport us to a different location afterwards. It was when we met Ave, Einhalt and first lieutenant Vita while fighting hordes of Ze Balmary Empire's Ezekiels at the same time…" replied Teana this time around before she decided to further elaborate Subaru's explanation as well, in return. "Unfortunately, it wasn't the only strange thing that we experienced, Vivio-san. Since Ave-san's Exia Flügel has also get affected by this anomaly in which the said mysterious time and space distortion has caused, I believe…" added Einhalt while mentioning the most likely negative effect that Ave's Exia Flügel has suffered due to this mysterious time and space distortion as well, at the same time.
"What do you mean with that, Einhalt-san? Is Ave-nii's Exia Flügel got mysterious downgraded due to this time and space distortion itself?" enquired Vivio further, as she also speculated over things that Ave's quasi-fifth generation Gundam unit, Exia Flügel has suffered. "Actually, you are right. Ave-san's Exia Flügel has been compromised when its new Seven Swords has been temporarily disabled. Thankfully, Ave-san manage to physically project or replicate GN Buster Sword II and GN Sword III in which proven useful against those army of Ezekiel combat units, Vivio-san…" calmly explained Einhalt, as she answered Vivio's enquiry just now, telepathically. "I wonder if it has something to do with an anomaly that might accidentally change this world's phases and layers. What do you think about it, Einhalt?" curiously asked Subaru this time around, as she together with Teana seem interested to learn more about it as well.
"That is one of the possibility, Subaru-san. Although without Gungnir, it should be impossible to change one world's phases and layers, I believe…" answered Einhalt calmly, as she once again gave Subaru, Teana and others an explanation behind her own theory just now. "Are you referring to Birdway's Gungnir or Tachibana's Gungnir, Stratos?" asked Signum telepathically after she decided to also engage in this telepathic discussion with Einhalt, Vivio, Fate, Sieglinde and Viktoria this time around. "It actually is Othinus-san's Gungnir that I was trying to imply before, first lieutenant Signum. Since we have yet witness the true power of both Leivinia-san and Hibiki-san's Gungnir during the First Defensive War itself, I believe…" telepathically answered Einhalt before she decided to also elaborate her previous answer and explanation as well, in return.
"I also agree with Einhalt-san's explanation, first lieutenant Signum. Especially after we together with Ave-nii and Eins-nē have previously saw the true extend of Gungnir's power when Othinus-san dismantle the third newborn world's phases and layers during our conflict with GREMLIN…" added Vivio, as she also reminded Signum of certain incident in which a former Magic God Othinus has caused using the supposedly true lance of Gungnir itself. "Still, the extend of destruction that former Magic God Othinus and GREMLIN has caused back then were less severe than what seem happens to this world. It seems that someone or something has deliberately and continuously tried to wither it completely for an unknown purpose…" argued Fate while mentioning on how the incident in which Othinus and her own magic cabal, GREMLIN caused in the past was actually pale compared to anything that has happened in this dying world itself, after all.
"Perhaps, it actually something that Longinus Dreizehn Orden has done, as their leader also possessed a certain holy lance that often well regarded as Gungnir's equal if I remember correctly. Don't you also think so, Fate-san?" added Teana before asking her former mentor, Executive Officer Fate T. Harlaown a question as well, shortly afterwards. "It is highly possible for them to be the one that almost completely destroy this world, Executive Officer Lanster. Nevertheless, until Kei Sakurai and Beatrice Kirscheisen told us more about Longinus Dreizehn Orden, as well as their reason to wage a war across multiple different worlds out there, I personally would not rule out any possibility for the existence of other player out there, in which trying to manipulate us…" answered Fate back, as she decided to remind Teana of any possible player that secretly tried to manipulate them and Longinus Dreizehn Orden from behind the shadow.
"I wonder about what Ave might think about it. We should ask him after he concluded his discussion with commander Yagami and first lieutenant Vita…" telepathically replied Teana before she suggested Fate to ask Ave for his opinion about it. Fate in return was only smiled, as she remember very well on how her former protégé, Teana has always hold Ave, her own former protégé in such of high regards. In several occasions, Ave's invaluable knowledge has helped both Teana and Fate on solving multiple different cases, especially the one that took place after Break The World itself. Because of that, Fate certainly agreed with Teana's suggestion of asking Ave for his insight over this entire case. Since only by doing so that they might actually able to get closer on solving the mystery behind this dying world and find more about what might have caused it, simultaneously.
"I also agree with your suggestion, Executive Officer Lanster. For now, shall we review our finding together with Signum, Subaru, Vivio, Einhalt, Viktoria and Sieglinde?" affirmatively replied Fate back while suggesting Teana to let Signum, Subaru, Vivio, Einhalt, Viktoria and Sieglinde get involved in their discussion as well, in return. "I think we should, Fate-san. Especially with Vivio and Einhalt usually also happen to be quite perceptive in this kind of situation as well, I believe…" responded Teana back, as she was also agree with Fate's suggestion just now. It was shortly after Teana concluded her respond towards Fate's suggestion that she started to invite Subaru, Signum, Vivio, Einhalt, Viktoria and Sieglinde in her discussion with Fate. In the end, both Vivio and Einhalt's opinion has been proven invaluable while Signum's old wisdom and knowledge also gave them insight over this case as well.
"So, what we are going to do after asking Ave-san for his opinion of this matter, Tea? Are we might finally able to solve the mystery behind the dying state of this world? Or we should still wait until Kei and Kirscheisen told us their side of story…" telepathically asked Subaru, as she asked her faithful Device, Mach Caliber AX to take a note and record any important information that they have shared in their discussion just now. "We probably wait until Kei Sakurai and Beatrice Kirscheisen agree to disclose any important information that previously unknown to us, Subaru. Especially with everything seems to be a lot more complicated than what I have been expecting previously…" answered Teana back before she decided to let a small sigh out as well, in return. "That actually sounds quite bad, Tea. Hopefully things will get better after Kei and Kirscheisen share their story with us…" replied Subaru back while reassuringly smiled at her closest best friend, Teana as well, simultaneously.
It was when Teana smiling at Subaru before she decided to respond back at her reply after briefly glancing towards the bleak cloudy sky above them. "I hope so as well, Subaru. I hope so as well…" responded Teana back, as she once again turned her attention at the aforementioned bleak cloudy sky above, shortly afterwards. Once again Teana's respond has reminded Subaru that their quest to solve this dying world's mystery while fighting new enemies such as Longinus Dreizehn Orden are still far from being over.
ED Theme Song: Iris (Performed By: Aoi Eir)
"This is totally worse than what I was previously expected…" complained Shino "Sinon" Asada while sniping one of the zombie down with her prized heavy sniper rifle, PGM Hécate II. "I agree with you, Asada-san. For some reason, we were under attack by undead hordes while no powerful necromancer happen to present among them…" affirmatively replied Lucina, as she vertically sliced down the incoming undead in front of her using Parallel Falchion, the eponymous regalia from Kingdom of Iris that she, Lucina Baldos Ylisse inherited back in her own old world. "Well, they are not particularly powerful, Lucina. Still, facing hundreds of them now can be quite disheartening, I believe…" added Julis before she manipulates her Rect Lux, Nova Spina and use those aforementioned six floating rapiers to decapitate twelve undead soldiers in which trying to attack her just now.
"That is why this mission is annoying! Since we literally fight against never ending hordes of undead in which trying to overrun us…" once again complained Sinon with annoyed voice tone, as she continue to keep on sniping those undead hordes down with her prized heavy sniper rifle, PGM Hécate II at the same time. Julis in return was only inhaled deeply before she decided to take another group of undead soldiers down using one of her signature spell, Longiflorum. Once again Julis raised both of her arms, as six floating rapiers from her prized Rect Lux, Nova Spina swiftly impale those undead soldiers while simultaneously incapacitate them. It was right after she incapacitated those aforementioned undead soldiers in front of her that Julis hurls multiple spears of flame to completely incinerate them afterwards.
"Flourish into bloom, Longiflorum!"
"Wooow! It somehow is reminded me to Sakurai-san's magic although yours are prettier Riessfeld-san…" stated Lucina while staring at Julis' signature spell, Longiflorum in which almost instantly incinerate those undead soldiers in front of them (her). "I have yet reach Leonhard's level, Lucina. Since no matter how powerful a Strega is, she would always still be just another human being that could never hope to surpass a Godlike being, sadly…" calmly replied Julis back before she decided to refer Leonhard August in which also well famously known by Kei Sakurai as a Godlike being, in return. For a moment, Lucina thought that Julis was just trying to act polite and humble when she decided to refer herself, a powerful Strega as just another ordinary human being. Soon however, Lucina realized that Julis truly meant it, as her power to manipulate mana or prana similar to Time-Space Administrative Bureau's mages and martial artists was certainly pale in comparison to Leonhard August or Kei Sakurai's Godlike power for being a former Longinus Dreizehn Orden's member herself.
"I personally disagree with that, Julis…" flatly rejected Sinon before she snipe down another three undead soldiers on their heads using her prized heavy sniper rifle, PGM Hécate II afterwards. "I beg your pardon?" responded Julis with another enquiry, as she was slightly confused with Sinon's rejection just now. "Most if not all Time-Space Administrative Bureau's operatives are capable of fighting Longinus Dreizehn Orden's members while certain individuals such as instructor Takamachi, Executive Officer Testarossa Harlaown and commander Yagami happen to even surpass them, I believe…" flatly explained Sinon while mentioning Nanoha, Fate and Hayate as Time-Space Administrative Bureau's operatives in which happen to be more than capable of fighting Longinus Dreizehn Orden's members on equal terms and even defeat them in battle.
"Our friends Vivio-san and Stratos-san are also proven to be strong enough to fight any of those Obsidian Round Table's new members in direct combat. Especially Vivio when she equipped her prized Armour of the Saint King…" added Lucina, as was also mentioning Vivio and Einhalt's names in her explanation just now. Julis in return was only affirmatively nodding back at both Sinon and Lucina, as she once again remembered on how Time-Space Administrative Bureau or Einhalt in particular have helped her and Chise when they tried to escape Longinus Dreizehn Orden or Obsidian Round Table's pursuit in the past. It was also during their fateful encounter that Einhalt showed Julis strength and indomitable fighting spirit in which she inherited from her ancestor.
Julis remembered on how the seventh member of Longinus Dreizehn Orden, Götz von Berlichingen that has also better known as Machina was indeed powerful. He single-handedly pursued her and Chise across the battle ravaged Berlin of this dying world itself. She witnessed on how Machina murdered tens to hundreds Soviet's Red Army across the entire landscape in which a mysterious entity has created using Battle of Berlin as a template. It was around the time when she together with Chise has almost gave up that Einhalt arrived to save them from this peril. Using the aforementioned strength and indomitable fighting spirit that she inherited from her ancestor, Shutra's Hegemon, Claus G.S. Ingvalt, Einhalt fought Machina in stalemate until the combined effort from Sinon, Lucina, Ave and Reinforce Eins successfully force the aforementioned seventh member of Longinus Dreizehn Orden himself to retreat from this hellish battlefield itself.
It was a mistake for Julis to have ever doubted her own strength, as well as her newfound allies and comrades for their ability to fight against Longinus Dreizehn Orden's machination. Especially when they have proven her, as well as Chise otherwise. Because of that, Julis decided to apologize at Sinon and Lucina while smiling at them as well, in return. "It seems you two are right and I was wrong to ever doubted myself, as well as my new allies. I do apologize for even thinking about that, Sinon, Lucina…" apologized Julis before once again took another nearest group of undead soldiers down using her Rect Lux, Nova Spina. "Don't worry about that. Since you are not the only one that once doubted his or her own strength and allies after all…" calmly responded Sinon back while simultaneously sniping three more undead soldiers in which happen to sneak behind Julis and Lucina. "It is okay, Riessfeld-san. We all have our own doubt and uncertainty. The most important thing is how to overcome it in order to protect those in which we all cherish dearly…" added Lucina as well, while swiftly slicing multiple undead soldiers in front of her into half.
Another group of undead soldiers once again tried to ambush Julis, Sinon and Lucina, as they were currently preoccupied with their own respective opponents, as well as conversation. Thankfully however, Laeticia manage to arrive on time before she swiftly dispatched those aforementioned undead soldiers using her holy battle flag or banner of war, Luminosité Eternelle. "Ruler-san! Ruler! Laeticia!" greeted Lucina, Sinon and Julis almost simultaneously, as Laeticia in which also happen to be a living host or incarnate for Ruler-class Heroic Spirit, Jeanne d'Arc was only approvingly smiled at them as well, in return. "Thanks for keeping our enemies away, miss Asada, miss Lucina and miss Riessfeld. Even though this entire battle is still sadly far from being over…" thanked Laeticia before she spun her battle flag, Luminosité Eternelle and hoisted it on the ground right in front of her.
"These undead hordes are persistent unfortunately, Ruler-san. Despite our best effort to defeat them once and for all, they keep on coming to us…" replied Lucina while mentioning on how these undead hordes happen to endlessly swarm her, as well as Sinon and Julis with their overwhelming numbers. "Are they seemingly emerge out of the thin air, miss Lucina?" asked Laeticia right after she listened at Lucina's reply just now. It was when Lucina affirmatively nodded back at Laeticia while quietly tried to refocus her attention back at the nearest undead hordes in front of them. "They aren't actually come out of the thin air, Ruler. Since multiple small temporal fissure of dimensional rifts would always appear briefly before they emerge from any of them…" added Sinon with her more believable and elaborate explanation as well, at the same time. "Have you seen any of them through Hécate II's scope, Sinon?" curiously asked Julis instead of Laeticia, as she was defeating another group of undead hordes with her Rect Lux, Nova Spina.
"Yes, three of them so far…" answered Sinon back while simultaneously took another group of six undead soldiers down with her heavy sniper rifle, PGM Hécate II. "Can we close them down? Since that most likely would be the only way for us to stop our enemies…" once again asked Julis, as Laeticia decided to answer her question this time around. "In theory I should be able to. Unfortunately however, my power alone is not currently sufficient to close every single one of them, miss Riessfeld…" calmly answered Laeticia back while letting a small disappointed sigh out as well, shortly afterwards. "I'm sure there must be a way to actually close those temporal fissure of dimensional rifts, Ruler-san. We only need to find a way to do so with our limited resource, I believe…" reassured Lucina before smiling at Laeticia as well, in return.
Sinon, in which happen to overheard Laeticia, Julis and Lucina's discussion just now was about to also adding some of her own thought on it when Ernesti and Angelise arrived in their respective Silhouette Knight and Ragna-mail, Ikaruga and Villkiss. "Perhaps, we have just find a way to close those temporal fissure of dimensional rifts simultaneously now…" finally added Sinon, as Laeticia, Lucina and Julis saw Ernesti's Silhouette Knight, Ikaruga and Angelise's Ragna-mail, Villkiss swiftly took most of the remaining undead hordes down using their respective armaments. Both Lucina and Julis were only remain silent while trying to digest Sinon's words just now, as Laeticia on the other hand manage to quickly grasp on what she (Sinon) was implying for.
"Are you referring to the eternal song, El Ragna? Since it might actually proven to be volatile when miss Angelise use it to amplify Villkiss' Discord Phaser…" asked Laeticia, as she decided to also warn Sinon of the danger that Angelise's song, "El Ragna ~Eternal Story~" possessed. "Still, it is the only way for us to destroy those temporal fissure of dimensional rifts, Ruler. Unless you have a better idea that would allow us to accomplish our current objective…" calmly argued Sinon before she once again tried to locate other temporal fissure of dimensional rifts that might present from her prized heavy sniper rifle, PGM Hécate II's scope at the same time. Laeticia in the meantime decided to quietly ponder upon Sinon's argument while briefly glancing at Angelise's Ragna-mail, Villkiss' direction.
From Jeanne d'Arc's memory that she inherited, Laeticia remembered on how Angelise's eternal song, "El Ragna ~Eternal Story~" has guide her in the past. It helped Jeanne to find her beloved Siegfried (Sieg) when she was looking for him in the "Reverse Side of the World". A certain kind-hearted Dragon Princess and her travelling companion, the young and gentle last Saint King of the Cradle has decided to sing El Ragna, as its melody would successfully help Jeanne d'Arc on finding her beloved Siegfried (Sieg) in the end. The eternal song itself could also amplify the power of Space-time Convergence Cannons, in which happens to be installed on the said kind-hearted Dragon Princess' Ryū-Shin-Ki, Enryūgo. In the end, it was powerful enough to destroy the barrier between Jeanne d'Arc's very own world and the "Reverse Side of the World" before reuniting her with her beloved Siegfried (Sieg) afterwards.
It was after she quietly ponder upon Sinon's argument while remembering Ruler-class Heroic Spirit, Jeanne d'Arc's memory that she inherited that Laeticia could finally agree to let Angelise sing "El Ragna ~Eternal Story~" and destroy those temporal fissure of dimensional rifts using Villkiss' Discord Phaser in which her (Angelise's) eternal song empower. By the time Sinon told Angelise that Laeticia has also approved her idea of using Villkiss' Discord Phaser in which empowered by the aforementioned eternal song, "El Ragna ~Eternal Story~", Lucina, Julis and Ernesti in his Silhouette Knight, Ikaruga already almost completely decimating most of those undead hordes in front of them. With the condition for Villkiss to prepare its Discord Phaser set, Angelise began to sing "El Ragna ~Eternal Story~" before decimating every single one of temporal fissure of dimensional rifts afterwards.
"Is everything finally over?" asked Julis, as she was amaze of the destructive power from Villkiss' Discord Phaser itself, at the same time. "For now, it is over. Nevertheless, don't let your guard down…" replied Laeticia before she decided to also remind Julis not to let her guard down as well, in return. Sinon in meanwhile decided to inspect the area around in which the aforementioned temporal fissure of dimensional rifts previously located through PGM Hécate II's scope in order to ensure their complete total destruction. Thankfully, Villkiss' Discord Phaser that Angelise's song has been empower proven strong enough to destroy those temporal fissure of dimensional rifts together with the rest of remaining undead hordes around them. "No surviving enemies or rifts are detected, everyone. We or Ange to be exact has completely destroy them all…" added Sinon, as she decided to let a relieve sigh out as well, shortly afterwards.
"Everything seems a little too easy for me. Especially with those undead hordes happen to move in an extremely slow pace…" remarked Angelise before she casually shrugged and letting a small yawn out as well, at the same time. "They are zombies, so it actually is normal for them to move sluggishly. Unless they are Majini that I once fought in Kijuju…" explained Ernesti while replying back at Angelise's remark just now. "Majini? Kijuju? What the hell are those things, Eru?" enquired Angelise further, as she seems curious to hear more about them. "Well, they first came from a certain survival horror video game that I previously saw. Only after Break The World occurred that both Majini and Kijuju began to appear in real life…" answered Ernesti before casually smiling at Angelise as well, in return. It also when Angelise blushed slightly when she saw Ernesti's cute face appeared in the small popped up window that is located on the upper right side of Villkiss' main monitor.
"Uhm, I don't think you actually answer Angelise-san's question just now, Ernesti-san…" sheepishly reminded Lucina while Laeticia, Sinon and Julis let a small chuckle out when they listened at her reminder as well, at the same time. "Well, it would be a long story if everyone don't actually mind that…" explained Ernesti, as he gave his respond towards Lucina's sheepish reminder just now. "I believe that we all have time to listen after returning back to our provisional headquarter, Ernesti. That is also if you don't mind to do that…" replied Laeticia while simultaneously encourage Ernesti to continue his story upon returning back to their provisional headquarter in which located not far from the said Sarcophagus City itself. Ernesti was then told Laeticia that he would eagerly share his story, as it might also be useful for them in foreseeable future as well. Because of that, after Ernesti agree to continue his story, Laeticia together with Angelise, Sinon, Julis and Lucina decided to start their retreat by leaving the now barren wasteland in which raging battlefield took place not so long ago.
Not far from the very location in which Laeticia, Angelise, Sinon, Julis and Lucina previously standing a pair of mysterious individuals have witnessed each of their every moves. One of them was then instructed his companion to make sure that no one find the true nature of this dying world. His instruction was clear, as his companion should and could use any necessary mean to completely eradicate anyone that has been trying to pry over this aforementioned dying world's true nature and origin. No one knew about these two mysterious individuals' identity, as they almost immediately vanished afterwards. Nevertheless, the silent bleak steel sky and barren wasteland has become a sole witness for their names and evil intent. These two mysterious individuals were Spirit Emperor, Ruach Ganeden and Yasha, as their evil machination would certainly brought countless multiple multiverse into ruin.
To Be Continued…
