The 2nd Garden Festa had begun on Little Garden. Tourists and civilians flooded the entire festival as many came for the entertainment and fun that are provided in the festival.
At the area filled with many open stalls with many crazy themes like a zombie café to a ninja shooting game. Hayato with Claire can be seen in the area as they see how lively the place is.
"truly a joyous occasion." Claire spoke with a smile in seeing children happily laughing with their parents, the group having a family photo with a group of students cosplaying as cowboys. "everyone is having so much fun.."
"yeah." Hayato spoke before he turns and smiles. He made a quick trip to a stall and went back to Claire while holding two candy apples. "here."
"candy apple.." Claire takes her share of the sweets. She looks at the glossy red caramel cream that shells the fruit for a moment before she went and takes a lick then smiles. "sweet."
"seems that you never tried one before." Hayato stated as he licks his own candy apple. "never enjoyed the last festival firsthand?"
"w-well…I was busy managing Little Garden from the HQ and…" Claire replied before seeing Hayato leaning close with a smile.
"Then let's have so much fun in the festival together and make lots of fun memories as well." Hayato spoke before he sticks out his tongue that is somehow more redder than it supposed to be. "see this? Your tongue must be as red as mine."
Claire looks Hayato for a moment before she stifles a laughter while smiling.
Both went around the festival together as they see what many other students had made up for their participation in the event.
"please come~! Maid maze café for special customers~!" a voice calls out loudly as Hayato and Claire who are walking by, heard and see that it was Reitia who is wearing a maid outfit.
"Reitia?" Hayato spoke out as he and Claire went to the hobbit girl. "why you're a maid?"
"ah! Hayato and the president!" Reitia greeted the two with a smile before looking a bit confused. "or rather is it the President and Claire-san? which is it now?"
"just call us what you're used to." Claire spoke with a wave. "so? why are you a maid? I thought you are currently on a break from patrol with Erica?"
"well, this place needed some help so me and Vice president volunteered." Reitia replied with a grin before hearing the door bell ringing as Erica came out, the vice president wearing a maid outfit herself. "ah, here she is."
"Reitia-san, do you have customers?" Erica spoke before she gasps and pales when she sees who the customers are. "C-C-C-C-Claire-sama!?"
"Erica…you…" Claire spoke with a slightly surprised face while Erica began to panic.
"i-i-it's not what you think, Claire-sama!" Erica squeals with her eyes just going into swirls. "there's a reason for this! Liu Xuemei-san and Noa Sheldon-san needed help with their stall! They had some trouble with the lack of customers and then! and then!"
CLICK!
The sound of a phone's camera is heard as Erica screams in panic because Hayato took a photo of her.
"want me to share with you?" Hayato asked Claire who looks a bit interested.
"w-w-w-what are you doing, Kisaragi Hayato!? Why you took a photo of me!? don't! please!" Erica screams in panic.
"and sent." Hayato spoke as he pressed and taps the screen of his phone a few times, the man sending the photo of Erica in her maid outfit to Claire who checks it on her own phone. He then grins a bit teasingly to the vice president. "by the way, I sent it to Liddy as well."
"not her too~!" Erica screams as she went and began to swipe her hands for Hayato's phone. The man pulling it away. "give me that! Delete the photo! Claire-sama and Liddy are okay but not you! Don't keep it with you~!"
While Erica is trying to get Hayato's phone, Claire and Reitia just watches them in amusement.
"things never go boring with that man around, huh?" Claire whispers with a small smile.
"hey, President. You want to try and come to our maid maze café?" Reitia spoke as Claire made a noise and looks at the hobbit girl. "you never tried to go to a special maid café, right?"
"I have but…" Claire nods slowly before looking confused. "but you just said Maid Maze café…" she tilts her head and became more confused. "what is the maze part?"
"well, experience it and see~!" Reitia replied with a grin before she turns towards the café. "hey! I got two customers coming right in~!"
A moment later, Hayato and Claire are in the café as they find two long paths around the place that are built with wooden board and decorated with flowers and pictures.
"welcome to our Maid Maze Café~!" Reitia replied with a grin. "if you wish to be served by our lovely maids, you must win several challenges in our maze~!" she points a finger up and winks. "if you win the challenges, you will win a coupon for a free drink and meal in the café~!"
"basically, if we want to get a drink or grab a bite, we got to finish the challenges and get the coupons." Hayato spoke while still holding his phone away from Erica who is still trying to swipe it.
"a very interesting theme." Claire spoke with a slightly interested look on her face.
"since we have two customers who are a couple~! The special rule is in play~!" Reitia replied as a couple of the café's maids went and raise a banner that says 'Couple Special Rule~!' on it.
"Couple Special Rule?" Hayato spoke before he sees Reitia handing him and Claire small walkie talkie.
"the rule goes that at the end of the challenges, there will be one that is an online puzzle game~!" Reitia replied with a grin. "both of you must contact one another and cooperate to win the challenge~! If you win~!" she waves a hand forward and some maids presented two mannequins wearing a groom and bride outfit. "you'll be able to wear our specially rented bride and groom outfits while also getting a special wedding photo shot~!"
"b-bride and groom~!?" Claire gasps in shock while her face is going red. Her mind imagining herself wearing the bride outfit with Hayato who wears the groom outfit. Both standing together as it made her go more redder. "wawawaawa~!"
"you just made things more interesting, Reitia." Hayato spoke with a grin. "I wanted something like this to happen one day. You just granted it to me on a silver platter."
"hehehehe~! As happy I am to hear that, there is a catch for this special rule~!" Reitia replied as she points a large timer that is set on 15 minutes. "both of you must finish the challenges in less than 15 minutes! If one participant fails to catch up the other or if they surrender, there is no photo shoot for you~!"
"oh, this is getting more interesting." Hayato replied before he nods. "let's do it!"
"eh!?" Claire looks at Hayato in surprise. "wait a minute!"
"let's begin with the timer!" Reitia exclaimed as every maid in the café cheered. "ready~!? Set~!?" she swings a hand up and then down. "go~!"
Hayato went in first while Claire panics a bit before following.
'I can't believe I am doing this~!' Claire cries out as she went on her own maze path that closes its entrance. The blonde twin tail going in the path before she arrives to a bigger opening where there is a maid sitting by a table with a set of chess laid out. "this is?"
"welcome to the first challenge, Claire Harvey-san." the maid greeted Claire before motioning a hand to the seat across. "please take a seat." The maid sits back and outstretches her hands. "your first challenge is to defeat me in this game of chess in less than the set time. If you win, you will receive the coupon for a free drink of your choice."
"chess, is it?" Claire sat down and looks at the pieces set before her. she smiles and looks a bit determined. "this interests me for it has been a while since I played chess before." She went and picks up a white pawn piece and moves it forward by two spaces. "I shall be taking the first move!"
While Claire is playing chess on her first game, there is Hayato who is playing Karuta with Liu Xuemei and Noa Sheldon.
Hayato is sitting on the floor with Liu Xuemei while Noa Sheldon is the reader.
It has only been 2 minutes, and Hayato is already on the lead.
"the Mountain's Stream~" Noa spoke out her card as Hayato instantly swipes his hand on a card and picks it up. The object being the card with the same words.
"I can't win~!" Liu Xuemei cries out in tears as she hasn't got a single card while Hayato already achieved nearly 10.
"never challenge a Yamato born man in a game of Karuta." Hayato spoke with a small smirk as he twirls a card on the tip of his right index finger. He flips the card and place it down. "so? what do I get?"
"here. a free coupon for a drink." Noa spoke as she presented the coupon to Hayato who takes it and pocketed it. "you can now enter the next challenge."
"thanks." Hayato replied as he gets up before looking at the two. "just for my curiosity, is Erica Candle a part of the challenge?"
"y-yes, she is.." Noa replied with a nod. "why you ask?"
"well…" Hayato spoke as his eyes turns gold slitted that glows. "you could say that I'm craving for something else than café food."
Noa and Xuemei looks at Hayato as their eyes slowly become dull of life.
In the opening part of the maze, there is Erica who is sitting by a table that has a checker board set up.
"this time, I will get him to delete that photo!" Erica spoke as she looks serious. "I have mastered the game of checkers since I was little. I have entered several competition and always came out as number one!" her eyes lit in fire. "I will win and get him to delete that photo!"
As Erica is monologuing her plan, Hayato came walking in as he finished the previous challenge before coming to the vice president's challenge.
"seems that you have come, Kisaragi Hayato." Erica spoke with a smirk while waving a hand to the seat across her. "shall we begin this challenge?" she pulls her hand back and crosses it under her chest. "as you can see clearly, this challenge involves the game of checkers. You win, you get a coupon and get to the next challenge." She adjusts her glasses and smirks even more. "but be aware that I am a professional checkers player!"
"is that so?" Hayato replied as he sat across Erica. "what coupon would I get if I win this challenge?"
"a free service from any maid in the café." The vice president replied before she points a finger at Hayato. "but I have a special rule for my challenge!"
"And that is?" Hayato asks with an eyebrow raised.
"if I win, you are to delete that photo in your phone!" Erica exclaimed. "I shall not stand you making a mockery of my appearance!"
"is that all you want?" Hayato replied before he chuckles. "fine, I accept." He reaches a hand forward and made the first move on the checkers' board. "I'll be going first."
"fufufu. attacking first, is it?" Erica spoke before making her own move on the board. "I shall make you regret it!"
Two minutes later, Erica looks completely baffled in shock as she had made her move strategically but that resulted in her utter defeat.
"n-no way~!" Erica spoke in anguish defeat as she lost in a game that she believes that she could've had won perfectly in. "how could I had lost!?"
"you make me regret what again?" Hayato asks with a smirk as he held a checker piece in his grasp. "you know. they say arrogance can lead to the downfall of many geniuses." He place the piece down and chuckles. "I think you just made a live example of it."
"no~!" Erica cries as she scratches her head. "I did everything like the book and i!"
"no complaining." Hayato spoke with a grin. "in life you must always face the result of your actions with a determined face." He soon chuckles a bit. "but I don't think that can apply for you in this moment."
"damnit~!" Erica pouts all frustratedly before handing out a coupon to Hayato. "here! your coupon!"
"thank you." Hayato replied while taking the coupon.
"why did I lose?" Erica asks as she place her head on the table and sulks. "I was so sure that I could win and still i…" she sulks all sadly before noticing that Hayato who had gone off his seat, went around and is standing near her. she looks up confused to him. "what is it? why are you not going to the next challenge?"
In her reply, she gets Hayato to lean down and kiss her on the lips. Making her surprised beyond words.
After an abrupt few seconds, Erica pushes Hayato away while looking red.
"w-w-w-what are you!?" Erica cries out. "what do you think you're doing, Kisaragi Hayato!?"
"what do you think?" Hayato asks with a small smirk as he held up the coupon that Erica just gave him. "I'm using my coupon."
"just because you have a coupon for a service from a maid, it doesn't mean that you can just!" Erica exclaimed before Hayato suddenly went in for another kiss. "mmghhh!"
Erica struggles against the man who held her close, the vice president gripping his shoulders for a moment before they slowly relaxed and begins to snake around his neck and hugs it.
After a minute of kissing, both separated with their lips still connecting from a thin string of saliva.
"hey, Erica.." Hayato whispers. "you look adorable in that maid outfit, you know?"
"w-wha!? A-Adorable!?" Erica stammered while looking very red. "but I'm…"
"you're adorable and beautiful.." Hayato spoke as his eyes slowly turns gold slitted and glows. "and that's the truth, you know?"
"the…truth?" Erica spoke as she begins to look in a daze.
Before long, Hayato and Erica engaged in another kiss as both held each other close while their lips smooshed together with their tongue just dancing and twirling inside.
Erica was pulled off her seat as Hayato got her to be on the table while the checkers board gets pushed away and fall to the floor.
"w-wait…i…" Erica moans in the kiss as Hayato slowly strips the top part of her outfit, exposing her purplish blue bra and then her skirt where her panties are taken off. "n-no!"
"just focus on me, Erica." Hayato spoke as his eyes glows even brighter while he strips off his pants. "just focus on me."
Erica looks in a daze at Hayato before she gasps in pain when she felt her nether region getting something to kiss the entrance of her vagina.
"w-wait!" Erica cries out in a whimper as her body is trembling because Hayato has his hard rock penis out and is smooshed against her lips. "n-not so…"
"just focus on me." Hayato spoke as he kisses Erica once again and begins wrestling their tongues together while he moves his hips forward and made his hard rod enter straight into the vice president's vagina bleeds while making her scream in pain in the kiss.
Hayato moves his hips while holding Erica close, the vice president moaning repeatedly in their kiss as both were quiet yet loud.
This situation of theirs didn't get anyone's attention as most of the maids in the café are focused on the challenge between Claire and a random maid who are playing a game of twister that they are cheering for their friend to win by watching on a camera. The only ones who are watching over Hayato and Erica are Noa and Xuemei who are just watching with dull look in their eyes.
"c-coming..i'm coming…I'm CUMMING~!" Erica screams in the kiss as Hayato had thrusts his hip fast and strong while instantly blasting the woman's inside with his sperm.
Erica gasps as Hayato separates in their kiss, the man looking at the vice president with a slightly amused face.
"now all that is left is Claire.." Hayato spoke as he begins tidying up the place.
He left Erica on the chair by the table as she had been covered up the parts that he had strip off. Hayato walks to the next challenge while Noa and Xuemei came and begin carrying the Vice President away.
"I never liked having fun so hastly….." Hayato spoke as he adjusts his outfit for a moment before combing his hair. His eyes still gold slitted and glows even more. "but all my pieces are on the board now." He takes out his phone and taps its screen a few times as he made a mail that he sends to the recipient. The eastern man pockets his device and smirks a bit. "time to play the game, Judar Harvey."
At the entrance gate to the Little Garden. There are dozens and dozens of tourists gathered as they are all boarding on the floating manmade continent.
Out of the dozens of people coming to the entrance gate, there is Vitaly who is wearing a simple black and white sundress, a sun hat, sunglasses, and black high heels. The wanted scientist is walking amongst the crowd while carrying her baby girl; Alina in her arms. the child wearing a red and white onesies with the addition of a cat ear hat.
"Mwa..ma..mwa…" Alina babbles out as she is leaning against Vitaly's chest while waving one of her little chubby hands to her mother who smiles.
"just be a bit more patient, sweetheart." Vitaly spoke as she swipes a card to the toll gate and enters without being noticed by the guards. "just be a bit more patient and you'll meet your daddy."
Vitaly walks on board the Little Garden as she begins to disappear into the big crowd.
Sometime later. at the stadium of Little Garden.
The live concert of Kirishima Sakura is held at the stadium as many came to watch the live show.
Amongst the crowd there is Hayato with Claire and Karen. The three are waiting for the concert to begin.
"Sakura-san~! Sakura-san~!" Karen cheers as she waves two fans that has pictures of Sakura on them. "please come out faster~!"
"hey, no need to rush." Hayato told his little sister with a smile. "the concert is about to begin. Just be patient."
"mou~! Just start already~!" Karen cries out as she is impatient for her idol to come and begin the show.
"to think that you prepared such seats already." Claire spoke as they have front row seats to the concert. "just when did you have the time to prepare?"
"I prepared everything before the festival even began." Hayato spoke with a small smirk to Claire. "I want to have a nice time with my fiancé, and little sister. And this is one of the best ways to do so, right?"
"s-still! You cannot waste time by doing trivial matters!" Claire exclaimed while blushing red when Hayato called her 'Fiance'. "you should be!"
"I should be having the fun of the lifetime with my future wife." Hayato spoke while stopping Claire from talking by placing a finger to her lips. He smiles and pecks her forehead once. "we're supposed to have fun at a festival, right?"
Claire blushes even more to Hayato who smiles and both soon turns to the stage as confetti and white smoke explodes before Sakura came flying out.
"everyone! Thanks for waiting~!" Sakura calls out. "it's time to start this show with a big bang~!"
"SAKURA-SAN~!" Karen screams out to her idol as her inner fan girl mode got switched on.
Sakura begins to sing as she had activated her Hundred and gives everyone a big show to watch for their lives.
Hayato smiles at his little sister's excitement before he hears a few ringing from his phone.
He picks it out of his coat and sees a quick mail that says 'Now or not?'.
"Game Start." Hayato whispers as he taps the reply to the mail and presses the send button.
At Hayato's new home. Vitaly is present in the building as she is leaning against a wall and watching her phone that receives the email from Hayato that says 'Game Start' on the screen.
"okay..." Vitaly spoke as she opens a different app that has a 3D scaled image of Savages that turns from red to green when she taps a large OK button at the bottom.
In the basement of the home, the large glass tanks filled with Savage started to move away from a chain belt as each one got transported to who knows where.
at the street near Little Garden's HQ. Liddy with Fritz can be seen doing their patrols of the area as they were to watch out for any suspicious activity.
"looks like this year's festival is a big hit." Fritz spoke.
"indeed." Liddy replied with a nod before she made a noise while her eyes start to turn gold slitted and glow.
"man, I really wanted to check out the concert." Fritz spoke before he notices that Liddy is walking away. "vice president? Where're you going?"
"I'm going to the command center." Liddy spoke as she stops for a moment. "you go and meet up with Claire-sama and the others. our patrol time is about to come to an end."
"really?" Fritz said as he checks his watch. "well what do you know? it is almost time for the switch." He then looks back at Liddy but was surprised that she was already gone. "guess she got something important to do."
Fritz shrugs his shoulders before he walks away, not knowing that Liddy who is walking to the entrance of the command center, is just going to the underground floor level by elevator with her eyes just glowing gold.
Back at the home, Vitaly walks into the living room of the home as she finds Miharu playing together with her son; Hayate and the scientist's daughter; Alina. Both half siblings babbling while giggling to each other.
"be sure to come back for Dinner, Hayato." Vitaly spoke in a whisper before she smiles when she sees Alina babbling and squealing at her when the scientist had walked in. "our little Alina really wants to meet you." She walks in and takes her daughter back into her arms. "right, sweetheart?"
To her reply, Alina just babbles and giggles in joy to her mother.
At the southeast area of Little Garden, the location of the floating continent's airport.
There are many planes docked as many are transport planes that had carried many tourists on board, a few are military planes that brought in the Slayers from different nations to Little Garden.
Near the area are a group of Slayers who were stationed there to protect the civilians nearby.
"man, I really wanted to come to Kirishima Sakura's live…." One random Slayer spoke as he is looking at the live recording of Sakura singing at the stadium. "damnit~! Sakura-san is going to sing her new album too~!"
"hey, don't slack off." One of the Slayer's comrades spoke out while walking by. "we don't get paid to watch live recordings, you know?"
"just relax, won't you?" another Slayer spoke as he is sitting on a crate while lazing off. "there ain't any problem coming ever since the Garden Festa started. It's just peaceful, right now."
"he's right." The first random Slayer spoke out while nodding repeatedly as he is intensely watching Sakura's live show. "we Slayers are people first! And we got to get our cravings satisfied!"
"how does that even make any sense?" the second Slayer spoke while sweatdropping.
As the group of Slayers just converse together during their patrol, a loud sound of a jet engine is heard as it echoes from the sky.
"was there another plane coming?" a Slayer asks as he sees a large transportation airplane coming towards Little Garden and to the airport.
"I thought all the planes were counted for." Another spoke as the group sees the airplane coming.
"h-hey…why is it not slowing down?" another ask with a worried look as the airplane is still flying but coming down towards Little Garden.
"crap! This is bad!" one Slayer shouted before swinging a hand to the side. "run away!"
The group runs off as the airplane came and instantly crashed to the airport's landing bay with a big explosion.
"w-what was that!?" a Slayer asked in shock as they weren't expecting something like an airplane coming and crash landing to the landing bay. "did that plane had trouble and wanted to land!?"
"wait! Look!" another exclaimed while pointing forward as there is something moving in the plane's burning wreckage. "what is that!?"
"that's…." one Slayer uses a pair of binoculars to check what was moving and to his surprise, he sees a large Savage that looks mechanical. "a Savage!"
The Savage comes out of the burning wreckage of the airplane and it wasn't alone. There were at least 10 of them coming from the fire before they all begin to go on a rampage.
At the stadium, Sakura is doing her live concert to the spectators as everyone was having a goodtime until the place suddenly shook hard.
"w-what was that!?" Karen asks her brother while a bit scared. "an earthquake!?"
"That is impossible at Little Garden!" Claire stated as she takes out her phone and contacts HQ. "Chris! What is happening!?"
"Claire-sama, it is terrible!" Chris reported on the phone. "there was an unidentified airplane coming to the airport and it had crashed!"
"what!? a crash!?" Claire gasps in shock.
"not only that, a group of Savage had come out of the wreckage and are going on a rampage at the airport!" Chris added in. "several Slayers have been dispatched but these Savages aren't like the usual Savages at all!"
"what do you mean by that!?" Claire exclaimed.
"w-what is that!?" Karen cried out while looking up and pointing to the sky.
Everyone including Hayato and Claire looks up and they all see a large carrier airplane dropping large glass tanks to Little Garden but they all exploded when coming into contact with the floating continent's Aerial Defense barrier.
"a bomber?" Hayato spoke while getting off his seat.
"no!" Claire stated as she sees the mechanical Savages coming out of the explosions before they begin to attack the barrier repeatedly. "those are Savages!"
"Claire-sama! We have reports of 8..no! 10 unidentified aircrafts coming to Little Garden!" Chris reported while still on the phone with Claire. "each are coming closer than the last!"
"just what is going on?!" Claire spoke in shock before she stumbles when the land suddenly shook. "wha!?"
"stand up!" Hayato catches Claire before looking around. "whatever is happening, it's an attack!" he looks at the blonde. "doesn't Little Garden have anti Air defense system!?"
"we do, but the system should've been activated the moment it detects the airplanes coming" Claire replied as she checks her phone and sees a 3D schematic of Little Garden from a 360 degree view but there are reports of red marks on several areas. "the system is malfunctioning?!"
"hey! Everyone!" Fritz came by as he got to where Hayato and the others are. "we got trouble! There are Savages coming from the sky! There's so many of them, it's looks like an infestation!"
"Fritz, go and begin evacuation of the civilians! Get them to the shelters with the help of any Slayers you can find!" Hayato spoke to Fritz before he looks at Claire. "Claire, go back to HQ and assess everything that is occurring while I'll go and help out the Slayers at the airport!"
"u-understood!" Fritz and Claire replied before they head off.
"Nii-san." Karen calls out to Hayato while tugging on his right arm.
Hayato went and kneel beside Karen and held her hands in a gentle grasp.
"it's alright, you'll be safe here." Hayato spoke to Karen with a smile. "I promise." He went and pecked her forehead before he gets up and looks at Sakura who is looking back at him. the World Diva nods with a stern face to the eastern man who nods back. the Savage Killer looks at his little sister and smiles. "I'll come back soon, okay?"
Karen looks at Hayato for a moment before she smiles and nods.
Hayato caresses her hair a few times and then gets up before going off somewhere.
'it has begun.' Hayato walks up to some stairs and goes to an exit tunnel that is dark while showing the man's eyes that were gold slitted and glowing. He smirks and chuckles. 'it's time to bring down the King of Little Garden.'
Hayato activates his Hundred as he equips it into the fullbody armor then flies off to the air when he reached the exit.
In the detainment room of the Hunters. The sounds of explosions are heard above as their room shakes a few times.
"I wonder what's going on?" Nakri spoke as she is in the middle of playing a video game from a handheld console, the Hunter pausing the game as she looks at the shaking ceiling. "it's awfully loud up above."
"They got a festival going remember?" Krovanh spoke as he lies on the couch and eats a bag of potato chips. "Those guys are going wild because of it."
"oh, that's why" Nakri said before going back to playing her game.
While the two Hunters are at the living room, Nessat is in the bedroom and is sleeping before she wakes up.
"I can sense it.." Nessat spoke as she sat up on her bed and the metal covers of her right eye expands and moves up to reveal that it was glowing gold and turned slitted. "Hayato has begun the plan."
Nessat soon moves from the bed as she went straight into the living room.
"Nakri, Krovanh. It's time." Nessat spoke as Krovanh and Nakri just looks at her before they turn towards the door that is opened by Meimei who came in.
"everyone, are you all present?" the automaton asked as she came into the room. "at the present, we're having some troubles at the festival." She looks around for anything suspicious before facing Nessat. "please come with me to somewhere more safe."
"there's no need for that." Nessat spoke to Meimei who made a confused noise before she screams when she receives a thousand bolts jolt that fried her system and made her fall to the ground like a lifeless doll. The Hunters gathered as they look at the robot girl. "Little Garden is always safe when Hayato is around."
"e-everyone…" Meimei spoke out in a distant voice before she shuts down.
"I kinda liked her, you know?" Nakri spoke before the three Hunters turns towards the door and sees Liddy coming in while holding a used taser gun. "so she's one of Hayato's new girls?"
"heh, she was one of the weak ones when we last fought." Krovanh spoke with a grin before getting elbowed by Nessat. "ow! What!?"
"no more talking." Nessat spoke as she turns towards Liddy whose eyes just glows yellowish gold. "let's go to our new home."
At Little Garden's command center, Chris along with many personnel are going around in assessing the situation as they have reports of Savages just attacking their floating manmade continent.
"Chris!" Claire calls out as the Perfect Queen arrives and went to the command post. "what is the current situation!?"
"we have reports of the Savages attacking from the Airport, North deck, South deck, and West deck!" Chris replied as several live videos appeared on the big screen, each showing the Savages that are attacking. "but one of the Slayers on the attack have reported that these Savages don't have Cores!"
"don't have Cores?" Claire spoke in surprise before her face went serious. "This means that the missing Savage's Cores are…" she grips her hands into hard fists. "Vitaly Tynyanov!"
"incoming call from Judar Harvey!" a random operator spoke out as Claire made a noise and accepted the call through her phone.
"what do you want, Judar?" Claire spoke on the phone. "right now, I don't have time for your usual shenanigans!"
"hey, Claire. Don't be so stiff on me, would you?" Judar spoke all amused. "I just thought that you would be wanting to hear from me about now."
"what are you talking about?" Claire asks as Judar is currently walking in the corridor area of somewhere in Little Garden.
"this attack is staged at many levels." Judar spoke while arriving to a large door that opens when the man inputs a pass code on a console nearby. "the Savages that don't have Cores are without a doubt Vitaly's work, but she isn't the mastermind." The blonde watches the door open as it reveals the chamber where Liza is asleep. "what the mastermind wants to achieve is something far greater than the Little Garden. It's Liza that they want."
"Liza!? They want to get Liza!?" Claire spoke in shock. "who is the mastermind, Judar!?"
"Someone you and I know both know, Claire." Judar replied before hanging up the call and then entering the chamber.
"what!? who!?" Claire exclaimed but the call was hanged up before she could get the answer. The blonde looking at the disconnected call on the device's screen and she begins to think on who the mastermind of the attack could be. "if Vitaly Tynyanov is the maker of the fake Savages and not the mastermind of this attack…." She turns and looks at the large screen showing the battle between the Little Garden's Slayers against the fake Savages. "then who is?"
"Claire-sama!" Chris cries out as the young man turns to look at the blonde. "we received reports that a larger aircraft is coming down on Little Garden from 1000 ft!"
"put it up on screen!" Claire exclaimed as Chris quickly did his work and shows a live video of a large jumbo carrier airplane that is flying straight to Little Garden before exploding when it hits the large Aerial barrier that gets succumbed in flames.
Claire watches the explosion before she gasps in shock when she sees two large mechanical Savages arising from the flaming smoke.
"they're giant…" Claire spoke out as the screen shows a 3D image of the large mechanical Savages. "they're larger than the usual Trenta-class Savages."
"Aerial Barrier's power has decreased to 88%!" an operator exclaimed as the large mechanical Savages begin to attack the barrier with their claws while occasionally firing charged beams that just decrease the dexterity of the barrier. "they're trying to break through!"
"we already have our hands full with the Savages that are already on board…" Claire spoke before she looks at the command screen from her post. She checks the rosters of Slayers on board as each one showing reports of 'Engaged in Battle'. "no one is available or strong enough to face those type of Savages!"
Claire checks her list as she was about to call for help from Liddy and Erica who are not in the HQ, but she was stopped when she hears noises from around her. she looks and soon realizes that one of the large mechanical Savages have been destroyed.
"w-what just happened!?" Claire cries out as she soon gasps when she sees the other Savage getting one of its claws cut off by Hayato who flies pass it. "Kisaragi Hayato!"
"Claire! Give me a status report on how many Savages we got on the ship!" Hayato calls out on the comm link as he continues to fight the large mechanical Savage on his own. "I just finished the ones at the airport, but I've been hearing explosions around me! give me a clear number!"
"I understand!" Claire replied with a nod before she looks at Chris who is already doing the calculations. "please wait!" she soon sees the 3D scale image of Little Garden that shows red markers of Savages on board. "the reports are in! there're at least 30-37 mechanical Savages on the ship! Each ranging from the normal class to the Trenta Class! Most are harboring the area of the South Deck and West deck while making their approach to the center!"
"roger that!" Hayato stated as he fights the large mechanical Savage that he destroyed by cutting the alien monster in half. He soon flies back into Little Garden while his Hundred has its shoulder pads move back and ignites their thrusters at full power. "get available Slayers to go to the West Deck! I'll handle the ones at the South Deck! Also, keep up with the evacuation! I still see people running in a panic on the streets!"
"roger that!" Claire replied before the calls gets hanged up. She then looks at Chris. "make haste with the civilians' evacuation, Chris!"
"understood, Claire-sama!" Chris replied while instantly contacting security personnel and any available Slayers to go and help out.
"make it in time…" Claire whispers as she prays that no lives would be lost in this attack.
Meanwhile with Hayato at the South Deck. The Savage Killer goes on the attack against the mechanical Savages as he shreds them into pieces with his hi-tech katana.
Hayato's Hundred shines and transforms into sparkles that soon takes the form of its Susanoo cannons that charges energy while its edged tip expanded.
"Fire!" Hayato shouted before he fires two large charged shots from his cannons that went and destroyed nearly 10 mechanical Savages in one big blast.
After nearly all the Savages have been decimated by his attack, Hayato's Hundred disappears and transforms back into its gem like form.
"her work is alike with the originals, huh?" Hayato whispers before he takes out his PDA and its screen just showing a camera recording of Judar in Liza's chamber. "he believes that I'm going there, does he?" he smirks a bit while his golden slitted eyes begins to glow. "he's truly a worthy opponent."
Hayato puts away his PDA before he holds up his Hundred as he sees the red gem glowing before its color changes from red to pure goldenish yellow.
The Savage Killer grasps the gem as he dons back his Hundred in its armor form that now has glowing yellow neon line like markings all over its frame.
Hayato grips his fists tight as his armor began to expand while covering more parts of his body piece by piece before it glows, and the Savage Killer suddenly disappears in a flash.
In the chamber where Liza remains dormant in her capsule, Judar is standing before the object as he gazes at his little sister before he slowly turns around when Hayato suddenly appears by the closed entrance in a golden flash.
"ah, you finally arrived." Judar spoke with a smile to Hayato. "is it perhaps the time for you to finish your acting on this stage of yours?"
"it's not a stage." Hayato stated as his Hundred came undone. The Savage Killer takes a few steps forward and then takes out a gun that he points at Judar. "it's a game where it ends with you being killed."
"really now?" Judar asks as he chuckles, turns, and then begin taking slow steps to the side. "but before you do, let me tell you story and ask you a question at the end." He glances to Hayato. "care to listen?"
Hayato stays silent while his gold slitted eyes just glows menacingly.
Judar chuckles as he looks away and then went back to standing before Liza's capsule. The man gaze at his comatose little sister.
"there is a nation in Eastern Europe called Gudenburg. It is a nation that has close relations with Warslan Inc during its early starting days." Judar spoke as he spoke his story about a nation that has a castle at the center. "we had many trades with that country. Food, medicine, and weapons. We're both friends in many ways." He chuckles and turns towards Hayato. "but then came the Savage's 2nd attack."
Hayato stayed silent as he just stares at Judar who turns back and began pacing back and forth.
"there were a lot of deaths caused by the alien invaders. Destruction was inevitable for the earth." Judar spoke as he stops and looks at Hayato. "but that destruction was obstructed by the birth of a hero who arise from the ashes of that war." He waves a hand to the young man. "and that hero was you." He lowers his hand and turns back towards Liza. "a young boy whose genes were a perfect match to host the power of the Savage's Blood. A young boy who inherited the god's blood and battled against the invaders for almost a decade. That is your origin story, Kisaragi Hayato, the Savage Killer."
"do you plan to stall for time?" Hayato spoke out as he breaks his silence while taking a few steps forward, his gun still pointed at Judar. "it is futile. There is no one going to come and help you out." he stops and grips his hold on his weapon. "not with the chaos above."
"true." Judar spoke while raising his hands up in a surrendering gesture. "even Claire won't stick up so much to save me." he chuckles and then looks at Hayato with a rather curious face. "but I must still ask this question of mine."
"and that is?" Hayato asks while gripping his hold on the handle of his gun, his finger just barely going to pull the trigger.
"what makes you hate me so much?" Judar asked as he pockets a hand into his pants. "I know I have made many people to hate me over the years when I became the CEO of my company." He turns and takes a few steps to the side. "I should know since I pretended to love and used Vitaly like she was a tool. Yet I still can't think of any reasons for you to even hate me." he turns back towards Hayato. "my company never did anything to you and yet, you had such hatred to me upon the first time we met." He shrugs his shoulders and smiles. "so can you answer the question, Kisaragi Hayato-kun?"
Hayato stays silent for a moment before his glowing eyes just become more menacing to the point that his hair started to turn yellowish white and glowing goldish yellow neon markings appear all over his body.
Judar sees this change as his eyes widen a bit before he smiles and begins to chuckle before laughing.
"I see! So that is the answer! That is why you hate me so much!" Judar laughs as he placed a hand to his face before he adjusts himself and looks at Hayato who has his new change. "I should've expected this reunion of ours after so long!" he chuckles before smiling. "to think that the runaway experiment of that old and abandoned project would still be alive."
Hayato stare at Judar who chuckles a few more times before stopping.
"Kisaragi Hayato.." Judar spoke before shaking his head and has an interested stare at Hayato. "or should I say…Einherjar 01?"
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
