3rd Person POV
White Clouds
Day 30 of the Horsebow Moon
Bambietta was ready to go for the mission. Before that, however, she uses all the items she needed to use.
After that, she leaves for the mission.
"Still no sign of Flayn... What should we do, Teach? I'll admit, I'm out of schemes here." Claude admitted.
"Professor! Claude! Something's very wrong. Please hurry to Professor Jeritza's room!" Ignatz alerted the two as he appeared.
"Jeritza... Ah! The combat professor with the mask. He has always been rather suspicious. We must hurry!" Sothis urged Bambietta.
Later, Jeritza's Room
"Knock, knock. Is anybody..." Claude said before seeing Manuela on the floor. "Whoa! Professor Manuela!"
"I heard a scream coming from here just moments ago. It must have been Professor Manuela!" Ignatz declared.
"Is she injured? Is she... dead...?" Bambietta asked.
"No, I believe she's just unconscious. It looks like she was attacked by someone." Claude answered.
"Hey! It kind of looks like Professor Manuela is... pointing at something." Hilda "pointed" out.
"So we follow where she's pointing and... Oh? What do we have here? There's a rather suspicious hole behind that shelf." Claude said, finding said suspicious hole.
"What is the meaning of..." Hanneman was about to ask but sees Manuela. "Wait, is that Manuela? What happened here? We must take her to the infirmary immediately. You! Don't just stand there! Help me carry her." He ordered Claude.
"Right, right. Hold down the fort for me, Teach. I'll be back once we get Professor Manuela taken care of." Claude asked of Bambietta as he and Hanneman leave, carrying Manuela.
"What could have happened here? And where is Professor Jeritza?" Ignatz asked, worried.
"This must be related to that girl's disappearance. What if she's being held captive down there? No, no, that's crazy... right?" Hilda brought up.
"Let's investigate. Come on!" Bambietta exclaimed.
"Right... It's scary, but... OK." Ignatz nodded.
"Don't be a coward, Ignatz. We'll be fine as long as we stick close to the professor." Hilda told Ignatz.
"Ah... you're right. What should we do?"
"We've got to investigate. Lead the way, Professor."
"That's what I suggested, but... Okay." Bambietta said as she does so.
"The culprit could be hiding inside, so let's be extra cautious!" Ignatz suggested.
Later, Underground Passage...
"It's way too creepy down here. And it smells funny. And... BAH! A person! They're... unconscious." Hilda said, pointing towards someone familiar: Flayn.
"Flayn!" Bambietta exclaimed.
"Yes! It's Flayn! Oh, but there's someone else too..." Hilda pointed out.
"Someone is coming! That scythe... Could it be the knight we fought at the Holy Mausoleum!?" Ignatz exclaimed.
"That sword. You must be... One of us will die, the other will live. I will enjoy this dance of damnation." The Death Knight declared as he appeared.
Battle Time
Bambietta POV
This guy's going down. I can't bring Claude with me, so I'll have to take some students and helpers other than him with me to battle. I bring Yuri, Balthus, Constance, Hapi, Shamir, Cyril, Mari, Caspar, and Catherine with me. Lysie is my adjutant.
I set up everyone's places and head for battle.
"Professor, we need to defeat the Death Knight, and then rescue Flayn!" Hilda told me. "Hm. Look at that strange tile over there. I bet something will happen if you step on it." She pointed out.
"Good idea. Caspar, test it out, will ya?" I asked of Caspar who complies. Before I knew it, he was warped to behind the wall.
"Good thinking, Hilda! That'll get some people moving!" I complimented Hilda.

"Hmph. You'll have more opportunities to play soon. Your work here is done." The masked individual assured.
"Understood. I will go..." The Death Knight acknowledged as he warps away.
"We will cross paths again. I am the Flame Emperor... It is I who will reforge the world." The individual declared as they warp away too.
"Flame Emperor, eh? Seemed quite frightened of us, if you ask me!" Lorenz laughed.
"Shut up. You didn't do anything." I scolded him.
"He's gone. We should get these two out of here." Leonie told.
"Let's get out of this horrible place! C'mon, we can carry them up." Hilda declared.
Everyone agreed that Shamir did the best in this battle, maxing out her motivation.
Right. Now let's go home.
...Home...
...Is this... really my home...?
