Alright, now it's time for the next section of this chapter. I apologize for it taking this long. Besides class and such, I also had a problem with my computer that erased much of my progress on this story the first time around. But now, all of that's out of the way, and I can focus on this story one chapter at a time. Therefore, you should except my stories to churn a few chapters a week.

In the meantime, I'll be introducing something new in my stories. At the beginning of each chapter, I will share a soundtrack of songs worth listening to while reading the fic. I'll mark on the fic in (BOLD) anything related to the music tracks.

#1- Shuumatsu no Izetta OST- Izetta Theme


Near the border between Westria and Eylstadt were the Alps, a line of mountains beautifully frozen tops and surrounded by forests. The entire region remained harmonious at it had been…until now.

One squadron of Germanian fighter planes flew over the nearby Alps. The leader of the planes had a golden nose and stripes in contrast with the green colors on the ordinary ones. That plane was the one owned by Captain Bassler, who flew across the Alps from the Germanian border.

"Squad leader to all planes. Once we pass the mountains in front of us, we'll be in Eylstadt airspace."

Bassler gave out orders to his fighter squadron as they responded.

"Roger. It's strange why we haven't beaten such a small country at this point in the war. So much for the army and their blitzkrieg, huh?"

The captain ignored the chatter as he focused on the steering. Even the slightest distraction could send him plunging to his death.

Despite that, there was a loud explosion heard from inside the cockpit. It wasn't loud, but it was enough for him to hear it. Worse, it sounded very close.

"What's that? On our 9!"

Bassler kept his cool and remained calm on the steering. He tilted his head to investigate the source of the explosion. From his eyes, several Germanian fighter planes were confronting something. Eylstadt had an air force for certain, but reconnaissance showed no enemy planes. It didn't look like a training exercise either. Besides being too close to enemy borders, they were using live ammunition and did not focus on each other. Rather they opened fire on something else, something smaller than a plane as Bassler could see.

A small spark of fire shot out from an unknown assailant. The next thing he knew, one of the Me-109 fighters burst exploded with a burning fuselage and both wings broken off.

"Whoa, did you just see that!?"

One of the pilots jumped at the sudden battle going on. Even Bassler startled over this sudden attack. He radioed to his entire squadron.

"All planes follow my lead! We are moving to intercept the enemy!"

With that, the Bf 109 planes flew in the direction of the battle, not knowing who or what their opponent was.


Elsewhere, a twin-engine plane was also near the Alps. Unlike most of the Germanian planes that entered Eylstadt territory, this one was only making a small pass about the invaded nation.

Fine remained in between two Germanian soldiers that flanked both sides. The Commander who captured her was the back seat of the cargo section refining his golden gun.

"This plane model isn't as refined as it could be. Please forgive us if the ride is little bumpy. It won't last long."

Fine was less uncomfortable about the ride than her role as a prisoner. To keep her mind off, she observed the equipment within the plane. Most of them were experimental small-arms weapons as big as an anti-tank rifle. But the one that stood out the most was her the human-sized capsule. It was the same capsule she found back on Westria, the one the piqued her interest for some reason.

"Interested in this equipment? These are all important secrets to the Germanian military. In a sense, so are you."

The Germanian officer aimed his gun at the princess, who merely looked away.

"All I ask is a little forgiveness. This isn't the most elegant of decor."

The officer then got out of his seat. He approached the window opposite of Fine and observed the action. Explosions of anti-air bombardment sprinkled the sky as Me-109s and Stuka dive bombers flew overhead. The bombers in question struck various targets on Eylstadt's defensive line, particularly artillery emplacements and anti-air batteries. The tanks and platoons of soldiers continued to press on after that.

"We should be crossing the Eylstadt border right now."

That's when Fine responded.

"And how's the war?"

"They still seem to continue putting up resistance. It's useless. No matter how much they try, it won't be long before they fall."

Fine smirked at the Germanian officer, knowing her people would not give up so easily.

"I'm not so sure about that. My citizens are quite tenacious from what I understand. They won't give up so easily."

The Germanian officer chuckled back as he approached the princess."

"Perhaps not. But they continue their resistance, their beloved princess will perish."

Fine's smug smile immediately turn into a glare. By hearing those words, she figured out what their plan was as the officer continued.

"Tell me, what if they found that their princess has been held prisoner or even executed on Germanian grounds?"

"You're planning to use me as a political hostage!"

"What I'm saying is only hypothetical," the officer continued as he poked his gun that the princess's face. "Besides, you're one gorgeous young lady who's also the princess of Eylstadt. There are other ways we can do to you besides that. Many more other ways."

The princess glared as she tried to look away, especially with the stuck at her face. A few seconds later, something else happened. The shaking was far more intense than normal. It felt like the whole plane was starting to fall. The soldiers and Fine were thrown off the seats as the plane struggled to regain control.


Above the mountainous region, Alice was facing off against three Germanian 109s that circled her. She just took down her second fighter plane, but now found herself surrounded with no idea who will attack next.

"This did not sound like a good idea, Alice-sama!"

Tipler screamed within the pouch. Originally, they planned to trail the plane that carried the princess after she got onboard. Tipler found it fine if they could find a place to ambush them at an appropriate time. What he did not expect next was Alice cruising ahead of the cargo plane. Things got more complicated when she ascended from the forest, which allowed the Germanian planes to spot her easily. And they did, with an entire wing coming after them.

Alice managed to take out one by striking it from the bottom with her explosive punch and striking back against another with her spark-like attack. It was reckless, but she still found herself up to a good start.

"We were going to face the Germanians sooner or later. Why not face them now while we had the chance?"

Tipler groans distracted her from seeing the plane coming from behind. Only the loud noise from the propeller made her turn back and barely avoid the gunfire. With her two hands igniting fire like rockets to propel herself, she managed to keep her body hovering in midair, giving her superior mobility against the Germanian planes.

As the enemy plane passed by, Alice quieted the Murlock in her pouch.

"Just be quiet for now. We'll worry about transport after we take out these planes."

As Alice finished talking, another plane came from her left side. She launched herself upward to avoid the bullets. They were inches away from each other with pilot watching Alice just before shooting another spark of flame. Her attack smashed the plane's tail section off as it plummeted to the ground.

The remaining two planes faced her from opposite sides. Both fired their guns, but Alice quickly sank to avoid the fire. The planes were careful enough not to hit each other should they fail and strafed on opposite sides to avoid a collision.

However, Alice accelerated upward with her power with immense force, pulling the pouch very tightly on her waist with Tipler pressing on her chest. She then stopped her propulsion and drifted in midair. From there, she spun around as gusts of wind manifested around her. The pilots were distracted by her magical ability as she eyed on them as well. She then threw a slash of wind against one of the planes. Despite being made of compressed air, the force was enough to cut through steel just as how it horizontally split the plane in two. She threw another one vertically at the other plane but missed, only to throw another one that hit its nose.

As the last plane plummeted to the ground, Alice rested herself in the air as she reignited her fire abilities to keep herself afloat. She had her doubts, but considering her fight against those Hunterbeasts from before, which were as strong as steel, she had confidence in her ability.

"Well, that was easy enough."

The dizzy Tipler opened the bag and held onto the trimmings to regain his balance. He held onto the outside of the pouch, then back upward when she could see clearly again. Alice now faced in another direction as they heard another plane. This one was different from the noise from its engines, plus it had two of them.

Alice was certain that this was the same plane from before. From what she heard, the Germanians wanted to escort the princess and supposedly dangerous cargo as fast as possible. There was no other fastest way possible other than a straight line between his location and Germania. That was why she was certain that they could easily find again after getting ahead.

"See, I knew we would find it eventually. And we'll be right here when they encounter us."

"Wait a minute, Alice-sama. Something does not feel right."

"What is it?"

Alice eyed on the cargo plane as it suddenly stopped moving. It returned to normal again after a few seconds, but they knew what caused it was not normal. From their point of view, they found many sparkles of green manifesting around the plane, as if something inside was gathering it.


Inside the plane, Fine found herself at gunpoint by the Germanian officer and his men. During the heavy shaking, the soldiers were thrown into the air. Fine used to opportunity to headbutt her opponent and take his gun. However, the officer struck back before she fired. The bullet grazed her arm before the officer tossed her to the side. Fine landed hard by the capsule. When she recovered, she found herself threatened by all three men.

"That's enough! You may be a tomboy, but you're still just a bird in a cage. If you misbehave anymore, we'll snap your neck, and then it will be all over."

"Then do it!"

The Germanian officer laughed over her request.

"You'd really choose death over being a hostage? Is that what a princess who carries the burdens of her people should do?"

Fine raised her arms into the as she declared.

"It's true that it's my people that keep me alive. My life exists because of their love for me. If they've taken up arms and are risking their lives in battle, then I shall fight with them to the last, until the last drop of blood is spilled in the name of my family's honor. For I am Fine, First Princess of Eylstadt and its next archduchess, Ortfiné "Finé" Fredericka von Eylstadt!"

(1)

Before the officer decided to shoot, however, another event happened. Countless sparkles of yellow and green lights manifested and surrounded the inside of the cargo area. They enveloped the entire plane as they converged onto the capsule behind Fine.

The Germanian did not fire as they figured out what was happening. Fine also eyed onto the capsule as began leaking energy and hovered in midair. Then the whole container burst apart, releasing a great light that blinded everyone.

"What!?"

The Germanians covered their eyes from the bright green glow that shone before them. The captive princess also turned around towards the glow, raising her hand to shield her eyes. She found herself too weak. The wound on her arm took its toll, and she kneeled to avoid collapse. But didn't need to cover her eyes, for who she discovered surprise more than anything.

"What….it can't be...Izetta?"

The young red-haired girl in a patient's uniform awoke from her sleep. Her narrow vision searched for whoever called out her name. She swore that it sounded familiar.

"Princess?"

As Fine laid onto the ground, she recalled memories of the girl. The first time she saw her, she chased her little dog to her grandmother's cabin when she saw the same sparkles of light. After following the trial, she peeked by a tree to discover the little girl, dancing around on her broom and playing with inanimate objects that seemed to be levitating around her. The young girl jumped upon noticing Fine.

Those memories put a smile on the princess as she collapsed.

"I must be dreaming...Is it really you...my little…Witch..."

Izetta slowly regained her vision as she discovered Izetta collapsing. She noticed the wound on her arm, which sent her wide awake.

"PRINCESS!"

All the energy converged onto Izetta. The entire inside of the plane flashed as mass amounts of energy were released.


Alice and Tipler froze as they witnessed the cargo plane exploding in mid-air. They noticed energy converging to the inside of the plane, which likely caused the large sphere of explosive energy that split the machine into two.

"What was that!?"

As a being who only knew about Psionics, this was a bizarre occurrence for Tipler. He could not help but ask such a question. The sudden startled even Alice, who was used to seeing strange thing occurring from Witches. But there was also the mention of something dangerous being transported into the cargo bay. If that's the case, then the princess might be in danger.

"I don't know, but we better save our princess before she falls to her death."

"Yes, but…wait, Alice-sama. There's something there."

Tipler eyed on the trail of green sparkles that left the rear section of the plane. It looked like someone was flying…on a rifle no less, and she was descending to the ground.

"Is that…the princess?"

"No, but let's not what to find out. Let's go!"

By that time, Alice cruised down towards the trail of light. She accelerated with her palms while Tipler hind into the pouch and held on.

The trial of sparkles came from Izetta, who grabbed an anti-tank rifle for the plane's cargo. After enveloping the rifle with her magic, she rode on it as if it were a broom and chased after Izetta. She nearly got knocked off a few times to avoid the falling debris. Once she was clear, she made her descent and pursued the wounded princess.

As she approached Fine, she regained consciousness, which showed Izetta that she was alright. The witch turned her rifle to the side as she descended almost as the same speed as her.

"Princess, your hand!"

Izetta reached out to Fine, who in turn raised her own hand. Both were out of range, unable to grab onto each other until the last minute. She pulled the overjoyed princess onto the rifle and into her lap. By then, she decelerated as hard as she could. They were close to a large tree branch that they were set for collision.

However, a large burst of flame came that incinerated the branch. Izetta brought her weaponized broom to a sudden halt, which nearly caused Fine to fall off. The witch grabbed her hand again and pulled her back on to have a steadier hold on the rifle. While Fine leaned on Izetta to recover, much to the witch's luminescent blushing, she raised her head to find her sudden guests.

Instead of Germanian forces, she found a long-haired girl who was shooting fire from her palms to get herself in midair. When she descended enough to move the sun out of the way, she found the blonde girl with an army-green pouch by her waist. While Izetta remained cautious over the new arrivals of whom she never saw before, the girl chuckled in a happy-go-lucky nature.

"Hehehe, it looks like the princess did not need our help after all."

Izetta was still unsure if this girl was her ally or not.

"W-Who are you?"

"Don't worry. We heard that the princess was captured. As someone who wants to be a knight in shining armor herself, how could I refuse?"

"I…"

"Are we okay now, Alice-sama?"

The Tipler came out of the pouch, which surprised Izetta. Fine heard both voices but was too tired to see what was going on. Another thing that Izetta never saw before, a talking rabbit-like creature with floppy ears and speaking a language she could understand.

"What's going on here? Who are you two?"

"We can talk later. For now, let's get out of the woods together, and then we can talk."

As the young witch nodded, she trailed behind the Psionic girl. It was not too close since Izetta wanted to avoid the flames coming from her hands, but enough for them to keep close. Fine wrapped her arms comfortably around Izetta. Despite know the princess, this felt too close that she started to shake.

"Izetta...it's really you…"

Alice turned around to see the two girls interacting with each other. The two were awfully close to one another as Fine.

"Your power is really amazing, and that's what just saved me. Thank you, Izetta."

Izetta's eyes tears as she shook her head.

"I-I'm not worthy of your gratitude!"

"Izetta, look out!"

Alice yelled from afar as she ascended. Izetta snapped her focus back in her direction, where a mountain of the wintery Alps greeted them. The witch panicked as she pulled her rifle upward to avoid a collision. They continue to follow alongside Alice, who's fire abilities were melting the snow underneath her. The Psionic girl ascended a little more to avoid melting the snow, in case the witch and her princess fell off and needed something soft to land.

"Sorry! I was so happy that I wasn't paying attention…"

Alice almost chuckled over the near misfortune between the girls. It's clear that these were gone for some time. But the Murlock in her pouch has a different concern.

"Y-Your...Your Highness!"

Tipler noticed the wound on Fine's arm. Fine noticed how the talking critter in Alice's pouch, but limped forward from the injury. Izetta also noticed the princess's injury herself as her own arm got covered in blood.

"Don't worry about it. Compared to the worst possible outcome, this injury is nothing."

Alice thought otherwise, as did Izetta herself. With the amount of blood loss, she clearly needed some attention. As the passed the mountain, Alice slowed down and started descending onto the ground.

"Let's stop on the ground somewhere. Maybe we can find some place to treat you."

When Alice noticed Izetta not following her, she turned to see the princess pointing upward.

"Wait until we reach the mountain first. There's an Eylstadt fortress up top there."

Just when Alice was about to nod, another disturbance came from behind them. Tipler took cover as Alice peeked behind. A gold-nosed plane passed by the two pairs as they nearly dodged the attack.

"And you forgot to mention the planes!"

Fine turned to Alice after hearing Tipler's warning.

"Friends of yours?"

"Heck, no! These guys were the ones we were fighting to get you!"

"To get me?"

Tipler poked his head out for just a moment as he explained.

"We heard that you and Izetta were in that plane to go this Germania place. Alice-sama suggested that we wait for an ambush, but…"

Alice faced the other planes on her right.

"Looks like we countered a patrol along the way."

Fine glared at the enemy planes as they found themselves surrounded. Alice herself was increasing output on her left hand to keep herself steady while preparing the other for combat.

Captain Bassler circled away from the mountains as he observed the two magical pairs. His pilots conversed with him as they found their sudden assailants.

"Is that the enemy!? Captain, it looks like just a few girls in mid-air, with two flying on a big rifle."

"They sure do. Hold your fire until I give the word."

Alice charged what looked a wind spell as she felts guts of wind circling her right hand. She was not sure if Izetta was capable of combat, although she just downed that plane with an explosion. She turned to the witch and asked.

"Izetta, are you sure can fight…Izetta?"

Alice and Fine noticed Izetta having a large virtual crystal within her own hand. Maybe it was stone of energy, but Alice wasn't sure for herself. In actuality, the stone was Izetta checking the amount of mana in the region.

After seeing the Germanian fighter planes, the witch suffered horrific flashbacks over what happened. Until a few months ago, Izetta lived in a small village within the Galian region. It was one of the only few areas that weren't affected by the Neuroi, perhaps due to little or no human activity. They were a friendly community althought she kept her power a secret from them. But then, the Germanians invaded, displaying the same sigil she recognized. With Galia devastated and Paris falling to the Neuroi, the Germanians took over the unaffected regions and began their conquest. That community of which she lived in suffered the worst, with every man, woman, and child killed in front of her. The last resident, the owner who took her in, was executed right in front of her very eyes. That was the last straw for her as she unleashed her wrath on the Empire before wearing out and being captured by the enemy.

But that won't happen again, not with Fine around. She noticed the large virtual stone at the palm of her hand was throbbing with power, enough for her to fight. She clenched her fist as if she tried grabbing the illusionary stone and turned to Fine.

"Princess, this is going to hurt a bit. Can ask you to endure this a bit more?"

"Izetta, what are you doing?"

Alice wasn't sure what she was planning to do. But Fine was, which startled her.

"But you're not supposed to use your power so recklessly…"

"I believe my grandma would allow me to use my power if it's to protect the things I care about."

What Izetta said was partially a lie. Her grandma warned her never to use her powers at all. If she were to do so, people would find out. Perhaps the moment the Germanians captured was supposed to be a warning of what happened. But none of that mattered anymore. So many lives were lost because she was so inactive, always keep her power to herself. She can't let that happen again.

Grandma...forgive me for disobeying what you just said.

"Izetta?"

Alice remained confused over what happened. But Izetta said nothing as she touched her rifle.

"Here we go."

The witch unexpectedly accelerated past Alice. Now the Psionic girl and her companion were falling behind them.

"Izetta, where are you going!? Izetta, wait up!"

Alice ditched her wind spell to focus on speed. She accelerated with both hands to catch up to the witch. They headed for the snowy regions at the bottom, towards another set of mountains.

The other planes pursued, with two leading in front of Bassler. They opened fire on the girl against his orders.

"You idiots! I told you to hold fire!"

Alice used her extreme mobility to dodge the machinegun fire from the Me 109. She barrel-rolled over the line of fire to the other side of the plane. Afterward, she retaliated with a large spark of flame that impacted the fighters in the nose. The entire fuselage burst into flames as the entire plane came crashing down.

Bassler jerked over the sudden attack. No wonder how such a small target could take down an entire plane squadron. The other squadmate in front of him cursed the same.

"They can do this at over 400 kilometers an hour!? Damn monsters!"

"Don't get so hotheaded, you whelps! Just focus on catching up to them!"

Alice increased her speed once more to catch up to Izetta. At the point, they were already close to the next range of mountains. Alice checked on Tipler, who was still holding onto the pouch as best she can. She then turned to Izetta, who also checked on Fine.

"Are you okay, Princess?"

"When I saw you flying all those years ago, I wanted to fly with you someday. I just never thought it would come true like this."

Her breath is becoming hot…

Fine may be stable for now, but her wound still needed some treatment. There no telling how long she'll last, especially in a cold environment like this.

She turned Alice on her left and called to her.

"Get away from the mountains!"

Alice noticed her fire melting the snow again. She wasn't sure what the witch planned to do, but it surely meant she needed the snow. She complied as she did another barrel roll, making Tipler dizzy within her pouch. She and Izetta luckily avoided another set of gunfire from the enemy planes. Alice responded by slowing down and throw a few more sparks that grazed another plane before breaking its left wing, causing it to crash.

With Alice out of the way, Izetta found herself ready to unleash her powers. The witch bit her finger, then spread the resulting blood onto the snow. Another plane closed in on the two pairs, ready to fire at the witch. As it approached the bloodstains, she shouted as if she were talking to them.

"Come out, now!"

As she pulled a fist of snow, several spikes of ice rose from the mountains and impaled the incoming aircraft. Tipler only got a peek of what happened as he and the stunned Alice watching the plane plummet to the ground and explode.

Alice was so stunned by the phenomena that she almost didn't realize she was going to crash into the mountains. She pushed herself away from the mountain range, although she stopped with enough distance to spare.

The plane next to her wasn't so lucky. The pilot was also shocked by his opponent's power as he failed to see the mountains. Before his plane crashed, he sputtered into the communication channels about the girl being a witch, which Bassler snarled in disgust.

"A Witch? At a time like this?"

As Alice and Tipler stopped by, they noticed Izetta going back towards the enemy planes.

"Did she just-"

"Yes, she used her own blood to destroy that flying monster."

As another squadron of enemy planes came in, they accelerated to catch up to their allies.

Another squadron of planes came at Bassler's one. He and his last squadmate focused on both girls as they turned towards him. Both Bassler and his squadmate fired on the girls, causing both pairs to evade.

"You bitch! I don't know who you girls are, but you are my enemy! I'll cut you both down!"

Alice broke off as Izetta continued to cruise past Bassler. The Psionic girl's new target was the reinforcement squadron that faced her. All of them fired weapons at her, which she promptly evaded. She threw two more sparks at the leading plane; the second one impacted the nose, tearing the left wing off and seeing the engine and cockpit ablaze.

The other four planes dispersed as they circled Alice. The girl faced Izetta rather than the planes after noticing her heading across the mountain pass. Alice chased after the one closest to the witch, which struggled to shake her off. She generated stronger gusts of wind around her hand as she cut the tail of the machine, causing it to spin out of control and crash.

The other three planes pursued Alice and continue to open fire from behind. She jerked left and right to avoid the streams of gunfire while one shot bounced off Izetta rifle to her shock. Alice glared at the planes as she decelerated, letting to the enemy fighters catch up. After she found herself right on top of the planes, she regained speed to match up with them. The pilot of the middle plane looked up as Alice came on top of her. She struck the 109 from the top with a punch, blowing up the machine and breaking it in two.

As she rode on the rear end of the burning wreckage, Alice channeled two more strong gusts of wind from her hands and threw them to destroy the other two planes. She then reignited her hands and chased after Izetta.

Bassler growled at the enemy behind her as he turned his plane to the left. He pulled up as Alice threw another speak at him only to miss. He descended near the surface to avoid another pair of shots, including one the impacted near the front of the plane. After circling behind the girl, he fired another stream of shots, causing the Psionic girl to avoid the shots. He quickly strafed his machine to avoid the incoming wind attack.

With Bassler currently off pursuit, Alice went after Izetta, who spat out more blood. She called upon more spikes to impale two more fighters with multiple spikes as they crashed down onto the ground. Alice regrouped behind her as they moved on. Now that all the planes were seemingly down, they could move onto entering Eylstadt without any pursuers.

Izetta checked with her passenger as they flew over the range.

"Princess, we're just over the mountain!"

Before the group can calm down, Izetta's rifle trembled. It plunged down to the ground as if the witch could no longer control it. There were moments where she could regain flight, only to lose it again. Tipler noticed as he and Alice slowed down close to the pair.

"Izetta-sama, what's wrong?"

"My power!"

Izetta plunged again as she struggled to regain her magic.

"We're falling! I can't pull up!"

The previous plunged coincidentally made her evade gunfire from Bassler, who still tailed the girls.

"You're not getting away!"

He fired another stream of bullets at the girls. Alice avoided the shots and responded with another bladed gust of wind; the gold-nosed plane strafed to avoid it. As it passed by, the Germanian captain responded with another stream of bullets. Alice attempted to evade, but one of the shots grazed her by her left arm.

"Alice-sama!"

Tipler could hear the screams coming from his master. Her life was not in danger, but she could no longer her left arm for combat. She could only use her right arm, and that kept them from falling to the ground. As of now, the Psionic girl was rendered helpless in a fight.

"It's coming this way!"

Izetta and the others faced the 109 that charged at them directly. All but Fine stared at hat looking like their imposing death before the princess intervened. Fine reached for the back of the rifle and pulled the bolt forward. She then pushed it forward, loading the gun with an anti-tank round.

"Point toward it. Straight at it. I won't let you be the only one who stained her hands with blood."

With the rest of her magic, Izetta held the rifle in midair and as steady as possible as she aimed after the plane. Just when Bassler fired a stream of rounds, Izetta pulled the trigger. With explosive force, even Alice and her Murlock friend were thrown backward from the explosive recoil.

Regardless, they avoided the stream of shots as the anti-tank round impacted the propeller engine of Bassler's plane. The 109's engine ground to a halt and now glided in midair. The Captain stared while his plane drifted above the Alps and back into Westrian territory.

"An Eylstadt witch, huh? Impossible…"

As the last Germanian plane vanished behind the mountains, Alice and Tipler sighed in relief. Despite the wounded arm, Alice thought this wasn't too bad for the first time against modern aircraft. On the other hand, the experience nearly scared Tipler half to death. He was just lucky that they were alive.

That could not be said for the same thing as they found Izetta descending again.

"Hot! Hot! Hot!"

"Izetta, what's wrong!"

Alice called out as she descended with her right arm, of which she kept out in front of her. Tipler could see the problem wasn't to do with magic, but with the rifle.

"Her weapon is too hot. She can't control it normally anymore."

"Izetta!"

Alice called out as the pair on the rifle approached the forest. The Psionic girl felt weak herself due to her injuries. The last thing she knew was getting below the two and trying to push them up to avoid their fall with Tipler calling out for her to stop. After landing, like the princess in front of her, her mind went blank.


And, there you have it. The next one should be short since it concludes the end of this scenario, so don't expect too much.

Either way, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
