In St. Freya

After class had finished Himeko decided to go out for a dinner, considering that it Friday, she's earned her rest.

She had been wearing a crimson coat with a white and black shirt inside, black gloves, black shorts, gray thigh highs and black boots.

Then all of a sudden she heard a knock.

"You may Come in." Himeko said as she put up the papers.

The as the door slid open she turned around to see Bianca.

"Bianca? It's a long time." Himeko said as she got up and greeted Durandal, and gave the Blond Valkyrie a hug.

Bianca was wearing a tight black coat with streaks of teal and a short cape, a black military hat, brown leggings, and a pair of dark boots

"That it has Himeko." Bianca said with a sad tone that didn't go past Himeko.

"Do you want to talk somewhere more private, Sugar?" Himeko asked Bianca.

"Yeah, I'd like that." Bianca said with a nod.

"So what did you want to talk about, Bianca?" Himeko asked Durandal.

"It's about Beverly." Bianca told Himeko which made the redhead to look at the blond with a raised eyebrow.

"Please tell she hasn't gotten into trouble has she?" Himeko asked Bianca.

"No she hasn't, but it's regarding our last mission." Bianca informed Himeko, who merely furrowed her eyebrow.

So Bianca told Himeko everything, from Beverly's and Rita's mission to find the 2nd Divine key, up unto her disappearance as Beverly chased after her, where Beverly's located is unknown in the Labyrinthine world of the Sea of Quanta, and it was unknown where Beverly was, unless she was killed by what ever inhabited it, or went to another world entirely.

Or at least that's the official report that Otto let out.

"I see..." Himeko said slowly.

"After that Otto told me to take a small break, currently I'm thinking about going to tell Beverly's parents." Bianca said with a melancholic tone, thinking that she has some responsibility in whatever happened to Beverly in the Sea of Quanta.

"That won't be necessary, Bianca." Came a male voice causing the Valkyries to turn around and see Otto approaching.

"Overseer, What brings you here?" Himeko asked Otto, wondering what Otto was doing in the School.

"Well for one I wanted to see how Bianca was doing, and now that I've seen, I think that a temporary withdrawal from active duty, would do some good to get yourself back together, besides no one's blaming you for what happened to Beverly. It is entirely my blame, and I will be the one to Inform Beverly's disappearance." Otto told the Valkyries.

"You are being to generous, Overseer." Bianca told Otto.

"I am only looking after the well being of my operators nothing more nothing less." Otto said.

At an Hotel Room in St. Petersburg.

2 weeks after the failure to secure the 2nd Key Revenant and Raven decided to go on some vacation to take a rest from all the stuff that's been happening lately.

Revenant's real name was Sigrid Kaslana, the sister to Kevin Kaslana who was also the head of the World Serpent.

Right now Sigrid had finished taking a shower, and stopped for a moment to look at herself in the mirror, she looked at the "prosthetic" arm which grew back millennia ago after she had been injected with the synthesized Honkai DNA material of a Emperor class Honkai Beast, with a penchant for lightning, after she and her Brother volunteered for Mei's MANTIS project, to make soldiers implanted with Honkai DNA.

The arm was black with the fingernails being sharp enough to cut steel, and the blue lines that were patterned like a lighting strike, and it extended all the way to her shoulder and to the left side of her face.

Then she heard her cellphone ring, and as she moved to grab it and saw that it was Grey Serpent.

"What does he want this time?" Sigrid thought to herself as she picked up the phone.

"What is it Grey Serpent?" Asked Sigird.

"Greetings regent, I have information that may worth your attention." The Serpent told Sigrid.

"And what does this information entail?" Sigrid asked Grey Serpent.

"It's regarding the 2nd Divine Key." The Grey Serpent told Sigrid.

"Alright speak." Sigrid said as she sat down on the couch.

"The 2nd Divine Key is located in a remote island chain somewhere in the pacific and we found it's location due to the exorbitant Honkai Energy." The man replied.

"Humph, When I told you lot to relocate it long time ago, now you want me to recapture it." Revenant berated.

"I understand that you are less than pleased Revenant but listen, if we want our plan to advance further and release our Liege from the sea of Quanta we are going to need the 2nd Divine Key." Grey serpent told Revenant.

"Fine, how will we be proceeding guns-a-blazing? Or Stealth?" Revenant told Grey Serpent.

"Your equipment will be sent your way, you will know what do." Grey Serpent told Revenant as the former closed the Phone.

The all of a sudden she heard the door opening.

"Sigrid?" Cam Raven's voice as the Mercenary entered the Hotel room.

"Hey Raven how was your day?" Asked Sigrid as she looked at her companion/Partner.

"Good, and I want to say that'll be going to Nagazora on how the situation's there, regarding the survivors." Raven told Sigrid.

"Huh, alright, and Grey Serpent said that a Package was coming for my next mission." Sigrid told Raven.

"And what's the mission about?" Raven asked Sigrid.

"Retrieving the 2nd Divine key from Schicksal." Sigrid told Raven, causing the latter to raise an eyebrow.

"He does know that the place is heavily fortified with Otto's top Valkyries, no?" Raven asked Sigrid.

"That he does, but big plans require big sacrifices." Sigrid told Raven with a light tone, and suddenly she head the noise of the door knocking.

"Huh that was fast." Sigrid said as she walked towards the door opening it and revealing the mail man with the papers to hand over the package.

"Privet, eto komnata missis Sigrid Kenuey? (Is this Miss Sirgid Kenway's Room?)" The Mailman asked in Russian.

"Da, eto ya (Yes, that is me)" Sigrid replied.

"U menya yest' dlya tebya posylka, podpishis', pozhaluysta. (I've got a package for you, sign here please)" The Mailman said as he pointed where to sign.

"Khorosho. (Alright.)" Sigrid said as she signed the papers.

"Vot idi, madam, khoroshego dnya. (Here you go madam, have a nice day.)" The Mail man said as he handed over the Package and began to leave.

"So that's the package Grey Serpent sent you?" Raven asked Sigrid.

"It'd appears so." Sigrid responded.

"Guess I've got an airplane for Japan to catch, see later." Raven said as she began packing.

"Alright and do tell Sora I said hi." Sigrid said, as she began to prepare for the mission ahead.

Over at the US

Bellwood

Otto stood in front of the Tennyson family house.

Now usually he'd have sent a letter and be done with it.

But Beverly had proven to be one of the Best Valkyries he had in his possession, and her lost was felt by many people that were close to her, such as Durandal and Himeko.

But those who would feel it the Hardest would be non other hen her parents.

That's why, some Valkyries had been given the M.I.A status, to give a false sense of hope that the closest person to them was simply missing somewhere, and would turn up eventually.

But in the end it's just that, false hope of people denying reality.

So Otto knocked on the door.

"Just a minute!" Came the voice of Sandra as she walked up to open the door.

"Oh, Mr. Otto what brings you here?" Sandra asked Otto.

"Mrs. Tennyson, I do hope that your husband is inside as well, this matter includes him also.

"What matter?" Sandra asked Otto.

"It's about Your Daughter, she been designated as M.I.A." Otto told Sandra causing the woman to look at Otto with worry written in her eyes.

"Come in." Sandra said as she gave way to Otto to enter the house.
