In case that you confused when did this story connect with other stories. It is happen after extra book 2 : war of the Atlantis

New York: Unite States 2xxx

Tankanashi Kiara

In a special day like this, kiara decide to wear a beautiful white clothes and short jean pants. Phoenix wonder what the other would wears, after all it was the first time they

will met after a year has passed.

When she finally arrives, two girls already waiting at the bench near the restaurant.

However, both of her friends Ninomae Ina'nis and Gawr Gura seem to sit too far from each other, as if they were a stranger.

It took a moment for Kiara to finally understand.

They were suffered from a disease called " I know him/her but not enough to suddenly talk to them among the crowds, in case I make a mistakes and they are not the person

I know." Mori Calliope used to tell her some person has this kind of problem.

Personally, kiara thinks it was absurd. Because the worst thing that could happen is just you talk with wrong people, but who is she to judge the others?

" Gura! Ina!" Kiara raises her voice and wave her hands, both girls look up at her and then each other eyes, embarrassed.

Gura is now dressed in white t-shirt and overalls skirt that somehow make she looks even younger.

While Ina is wearing black dress and long sleeves clothes that match her hair color. (The squishy parts are now conceal under big hat Ina'nis is wearing.)

" …Hi. Kiara." Gura whispered. "Hi…" Ina voices is shaking as she trying to say something.

Both girls raise their hand, but Kiara push it aside as she hugging them both.

" Girls. I miss you!" Kiara cries as Ina and Gura struggling in her grips.

" I think we should get in the restaurant and wait for the rest to join." Gura said, suggests them to move away from the watching crowd.

When they find a table with enough seats for everyone, Kiara already knows a lot about what Gura and Ina do when they were separated.

" So, you became king of the Atlantis? That sound cool! But why not queen though?" She asks.

" I don't knows. Go asks those Atlantean, probably something along with their tradition." Gura sip her soft drink, it was the first one she gets after a year of life in Atlantis.

" And Ina is training with magician! I never seen a real one before even on Hololand, you are so lucky!" Kiara cries.

" You will disappointed." Ina said with a certainty that make Gura burst out laughing, this seem to be a reaction from someone who actually knows this "Murasaki Shion."

The magician. " Why though?" Kiara asks.

"Well from the start. She claims that since I can use tentacles then I must be connected with Cthulhu somehow, so we should go to Mr. Lovecraft home in order to get the

impression. When we finally arrived, she then cries and ask me why Rhode island is not actually an island." Ina sighed.

" Is the lesson worth it?" Gura asks, after all she is the one who recommended Shion to Ina.

Ina'nis suddenly throws a pepper bottle in the air with her right hand. A small portal suddenly appeared and suck it in, and before everyone could realize, the bottle appeared

in Ina left hand as she places it on the table.

" That's the real magic!" Kiara clapped her hand, even Gura looks impressed.

" Only a portal magic though, don't expect me to start throwing a fireball or other elemental magic, Shion said that ancient one main power is the space magic, not anything

else." Ina explains.

"That cool enough. But what do you want to eat? I think we should order something so the others don't need to wait." Kiara opens her menu.

" I prefer chicken thighs." Calliope said as she suddenly appeared on the seat, it seems that she just use her shadow travel (Reaper ability to teleport.) to be here as fast as

possible.

" Is this a surprise game? Because I am sure as hell surprised!" Gura walk back to where she just jumps out of her seat.

Calli chuckled, she is wearing red jacket and long trousers, contrasting with her white T-shirt and black cap.

" So, you can wear anything except from black clothes or Reaper uniforms? I am so happy." Kiara smiles.

" Shut up. Stupid bird." Calliope said as she looks at the menu, but her tone is not as hard as before.

" Did someone said surprised?" Amelia Watson voice suddenly appeared near Ina'nis ear, startling her.

Calliope laugh. " Among five of us. I never thought you would late Watson."

" Well, even if I can stop time. My car couldn't run through street filled with cars anyways. And Subaru is busy meeting with people from new company, so we are a bit late."

Ame is dressing white blouse with black and short skirt for this occasion, while Ozora Subaru hurrying get in the room with her business suit.

"So, why do want us to meet each other here?" Calli asks.

"We agree to meet each other every 6 months and this is over a year. Besides, I have a new you guys might interest." Subaru said as she is looking at the menu.

"Like what?" Gura asks.

"We creates a new company names ' COVER corporation.' They will deal with a people with special talents like you guys. With or without 'COVER' crystal, humanity still not

ready to knows the truth yet.

In short. If you need anything, call this number." Subaru throws her business cards to everyone on the table.

" Anything else?" Kiara toying with a card in her hand.

" Not much." Subaru shrugged. " There are no important sighting over a year. Tokino Sora already leaving our solar system and there is no trace of her.

Usada Pekora base in Saudi Arabia has been destroyed by a

" Training." Military campaign, but she probably leaving long ago, Pekora always does.

Atlantean ship has been found on the coast of Florida, but we tell people that it is just a fake news. Just bring some non-credible scientist to tell that it is real, and the rest of

the world will find a way to proves it was fake, they always does."

Gura nodded. "Sometimes, I wonder how human can survive this long."

" Business aside, this is my personal project." Subaru pick up something from her bag and show it to everyone. It is something that look like a calculator, as big as a small

cellphone.

" What is it?" Ame asks, pick the thing up.

" A pocket size atomic bomb." Subaru explains, while Ame quickly drops the item.

" It is not as good as the big one of course. This thing probably has radius and heat as much as WW2 atomic bomb.

Akukin construction newest project. Along with the power suit."

" Did you just bring Nuke in the restaurant? What a chad!" Calli pick the thing up but Kiara wants to know about another subject.

" What power suit?" She asks.

" Evolve from Minato Aqua Kuro Neko suit, mixing with alien technologies. In case that I have to fight, and you guys aren't around." Subaru explained.

" Sound cool! Can I wear one of those?" Kiara asks.

" There is only one suit and it is designed for me. But I guess you have a point, maybe I should make it wearable by anyone who wants to, just in case I am busy."

" Serious thought aside. Let's eat." Gura groaned. So, they finally ordered some food.

" Gura! Do you want to eat fish burgers?" Amelia asks as she ordered her taco.

" Do you think I eat pork chops in the Atlantis? I already have tons of those fish, bring that slimy thing off my face!" Gura yelled.

" So, you want one of those wet pizza? I understand." Amelia nodded.

Calli ordered tender chicken while kiara is fine with salmon bagel sandwiches.

Ina decides to eat ring octopuses in the last minute and Subaru take and hours to make sure that her salad has no mayonnaise.

But in the end, everyone seem to be happy enough as they start chattering.

" And then Calli face is all red and said that we should do this in bed room instead~" " Don't spread fake news. Stupid bird."

Kiara brag has been interrupted by calliope mid sentences.

"… Leviathan then roar, almost make me wet my pants if it isn't already wet underwater." Gura is telling her experiences in the Atlantis war to Ame and Subaru while gesture

her hand to shows what happen.

"… Shion said that I should control my power from the higher views and when I close my eyes to follows her movements. Both of us suddenly falling from the mountain

Everest." It's Ina turns to tell her hard training with Murasaki Shion.

These conversations go on as six of them are enjoying their meal.

While they are quite jolly, Subaru's phone suddenly rang so she picks it up.

" What? Okay. I understand." Subaru voice turn serious as they are looking at the news on televisions.

The reporter said that somehow. A small meteorite slips through earth radars and is now falling at the New York city. It is not big enough to cause a city wreck level of

damage, but the impact is still enough to shook everyone in the restaurant.

" Woah! What is that?" Gura exclaimed as she quickly gets up.

" That's not normal meteor. It is avoiding Akukin and government radar, before reappear when it is too close for us to do anything." Subaru explains.

" We should go and check on it." Ina comments.

Calliope nodded before talking to Subaru. " You said something about power suit. Maybe this is a time to get it."

Subaru swallows. " I will come back with more information."

She took a car key Ame throwing at her before quickly leaves.

"So, protecting the world again? Are 5 of us a trouble magnet or something?" Ame said half-jokingly, but nobody laugh.

"Let's goes." Fire running from Kiara brooch as she is wearing her orange star people costumes again, while calliope disappear for a second and come back with her Reaper

uniform and scythe.

Water forming around Gura's body as she is wearing her hoodie and picks up the trident of Atlantis. Tentacles appear on Ina'nis back as she is wearing her ancient one

priestess dress.

" Not fair! Why everyone has cool transformation while I have none- wait a second." Ame suddenly disappears and come back in 1 second, wearing a detective uniform and

brown coat, MP7 sub machine gun in left hand and SPAS 12 shotgun in right hand.

" You look more like a special force than a detective." Calli chuckled.

"Better safe than sorry." Ame hide MP7 in her coat while reloading shotgun with both hands.

" This is SPAS 12. One of the best shotgun in the world. Can be use with this dragon breath ammo." Ame shows everyone an orange shotgun bullet.

"What is it?" Kiara asks, she knows only dragon breath, which is literally an energy breathing from dragon's mouth.

" We put some chemicals in the shotgun bullets and making them burning like a fireworks. Just thousands times cooler."Ame explains.

"We don't have much time. Hurry up!" Calli and Ina already walking away, so they quickly follow.

….

When they finally reach the impact area, parts of the city has been destroyed and most survivors is already running away.

Humanity finally learns after many aliens invasion that thing from the sky is always a bad thing.

Near the meteor crater, a strange plants in different shape and forms growing up in the middle of the city, literally from the concrete.

" The heck is that?" Gura asks, smelling a miasma that coming from those plants.

" They are not from our planet." Ina looks closely at one of the plant near her feet. " Everything about them is different from us. But I think we have face something like this

before."

"Did we?" Ame winces as some vines on the building wall start moving.

" Remember the greeneries that cover the whole city and nuclear power plants? When we fight Hachama is Russia."

" The one that I burn down?" Kiara asks.

" Yes, it is similar with this plants, which mean they are coming from the same place."

"Then-" Before Gura could finish her sentences, someone is walking out of the smokes meteor crater.

She is a green hair woman with a strange dress, a branches that look like deer's antler growing up from her head.

" Inhabitants of Earth. My name is Ceres Fauna, and that girl is Nanashi Mumei." Fauna points her finger at a girl in brown cloaks who sit comfortably on top of the broken

building, watching something in the distance.

"We are embassies from the council. Come here to inform you that every life on this planet shall face an extinction." She said with a soothing voice that everybody took a few

second to understand what she is trying to say.

"Ehh. Thank! But we're rather not." Amelia struggling to keep her fake British accent.

" And who are you to judges us?" Calliope rises her scythe.

"The council are the protector of the universe, preventing anything from went off balance.

It's a tragedy that your planet finally reaches those points, but as a Mother Nature myself and Mumei is the guardian of civilizations.

We thought that you might want to know the inevitable end before it happens." Fauna voices sound like she is almost crying while Mumei silently hovering from the sky

besides her.

"So, basically. You are here to sh*t on us, and tell that there are nothing we can do about it? Man, that's suck!" Gura said sarcastically.

" Aren't you are guardian of civilization? Isn't it your job to… I don't know, guarding us or something." Ina asks Mumei who crushing a cockroach with small rock.

Guardian of civilizations sneers. " I have some issue with human and every other sentient being in general.

Who do thinks you are? A super being that destined to rule the universe? Why are you guys so arrogant?

What do you think Han people thinks when they build the Great Wall to prevent Barbarian Xiongnu from attacking their land, when Rome facing Celtic and Germanic warrior,

or when Aztec civilization met Spain explorer?

Yes, they think that they are superior than other human they were facing.

Same goes throughout the world. No matter where you were born. Europe or Asia, Mars or Moon.

You are f**king higher than the rest for some reason your culture teaches you that you were.

Despite the fact that history always show that civilizations are rise and fall, like anything else. Old gone and the new come.

And don't let me talk about how you are different from any other animal. Oh, brains perhaps? Or rational thinking? Moral?

When is the last time you ask the mold in your room is it care about that.

You are nothing, like anything else in this universe."

After a long rant. Mumei pick up some berries from her pocket and chewing it, satisfied.

After a long silence, Gura clapped her hands. Everybody looks at her.

" What? I just love a meaningless monologue. That's it."

Amelia clears her throat. " Listen. Mrs… Mumei. I appreciated that you put so much time inspecting our unimportant civilizations.

And that subject probably should be discussed in Reddit or something.

But the point is, we don't care what other think how worthless we are. Everybody here is having a joyful time until you two landing on our city and start preaching.

We will be very appreciated is you guys and your Nihilistic idea that 14 years old human can come up with too, leaves this planet and let us live our meaningless life and go to

some place where people actually listen. Nice idea?"

" Damn! Ame, you just kills her!" Calli burst out laughing.

Fuana quickly whispered to Mumei ears." Mumei, What is this Homo Sapiens trying to say?"

"She probably said something like. ' Back off! Loser.' Or something equivalent to that." Mumei said, loud enough for everyone to hear.

" So rude! No wonder why they never developed a warping technology. Their brain are too small to do that." Fauna exclaimed.

" Wait! Did you just planet-cist us!" Ina protest.

" Enough with talking." Mumei stretching her finger and walking toward Ame.

" It's fine even if we kills some human right? Fauna." She asks.

" If they weren't too much." Fauna nodded.

Calli and Gura quickly rise their weapons, but Kiara stopped them.

" This one is mine." A flaming sword and shield appear in Kiara hands as she approaches Mumei.

" Don't underestimated an enemies. Stupid bird!" Calli shouts a warning.

Kiara smiles, touching 'cover' crystal necklace. " Since we finding each other, my energy is starting to restore, even though not fully recover. It is still enough to make me

remember who I used to be."

Mumei punching Kiara with bare hand but, to everyone surprises. Phoenix actually stops it with her shield.

Fauna suddenly looks alarmed.

" Wait, Mumei! She is not human but a Phoenix, a star people levels of threat."

" I forgor…" Mumei said, as Kiara charging fireballs and shooting it at point blank range, sending guardian of civilizations flying over the horizon.

" One down." Kiara walking toward Fauna.

" If you think that level of attack can hurt us, then you are a fools, Phoenix." Fauna said calmly.

The ground is slightly shaken but Kiara ignores it.

" Any last word?" She asks.

" Watch where you step." Fauna smiles and then a giant sandworm that as big as train appear under Kiara feet as it swallows her whole body and "swimming" back under

concrete road.

" I told you to not underestimates. Stupid bird!" Calliope shouts at the big hole that sand worm creates. There is no panic in her voice since Kiara probably not die by that silly

attack.

" So, it's 4 against 1." Ame said as she is raising her submachine gun. Ina tentacles start moving and aiming at fauna too.

" Maybe yes. Maybe no." Fauna snapped her finger. And the portal appears as the wild beast from Africa and Australia suddenly running loose in the New York City.

Wild elephants roaming as leopard and lion running around, looking for food.

" That's Emu! I didn't bring my machine gun with me." Ame exclaimed as she sees a flightless bird that look similar to ostrich running around and kick every person they find.

"That probably won't help, to be honest." Calli chuckled when she remembers Kiara story about Emu war.

Something that look exactly like Koala bear jumping at Gura from behind and trying to tear her face with its teeth and claws.

" The hell is this?" Gura yelled as she is protecting her face from the beast.

Ina's tentacles wrapping around the bear neck and throwing it in the recycle bin. " That's dropped bear. I thought it was Australian myths. But here it is." Ina explained.

" Can you stop fooling around?" Calliope asks, behind her some old samurai in business suits is raising his katana and jumping into the swarm of Emus that running around

the city.

" Why? Everybody is having fun." Fauna smiles gently, beside her leg, some animal that look like a mixing of dog and tiger is rubbing it cheeks on her calf.

" Wait, Isn't that?" Ina was going to asks when Fauna start explaining, stroking the beast ears with her hand.

" This is Tasmanian tiger or Thylacine. A marsupial that extinct hundreds of years ago thanks to human, legend said that some of them is still left in Tasmania wilderness,

but I find only rotten jawbone when visiting there.

Thanks to the council technology and this fruit of wisdom. I can actually bring them back."

Fauna opens her palm and showing the golden apple that has some vine sticking on it. " Isn't that?" Gura asks as Ina'nis nodded.

" The one that Adam And Eve eat, or at least what human trying to make sense of what happen to their species, through myth and legend, because the truth is always

confusing."

Fauna whispered something in thylacine's ear, making it start twitching and roar.

Fur start falling and replace with green scale as the beast is getting bigger and bigger, its teeth falling and growing again as the big spike that look like elephant tusk start

spreading from its shoulders.

When it is done. The elephant sizes beast is roaring in front of them

" Is that a tiger? To me it looks like a ." Calliope complains.

"Nah. That's SCP 682. Trust me. I dive in internet longer than you." Ina corrected her.

" I appreciate an insight, but what are you guys doing?" Gura yelled as Calli and Ina quickly hiding behind her back, even Watson is moving to another block with her time

power.

" You said that you can talking with the Leviathan, then a smaller beast like this is a piece of cake, right?" Calliope said, Ina and Ame nodded.

" Try talking with Amazonian tribes in Mandarin language and shows me the result!" Gura yelled again.

Tasmanian tiger roared, Gura shook.

" Emm. Hi! Do you need anything. Sir?"Gura gingerly asks.

The monster looks at her and Gura starting to believe that there are connection between them after allม when it suddenly crashing her like a bull and dragging Gura across

the street.

" Nyooo!" Gura cries as both are running out of their sight.

" So, What's next? Pick us up one by one like some B movies?" Calliope asks.

Fauna shook her head. " I am not some barbarian monster. Let's us sit here and enjoy our tea while our friends discuss their business."

Small plant suddenly grows a gigantic leaf as a snail that as big as dog quickly chewing on it.

After the progress is done, a snail vomiting a green mess on a shell that Fauna use as her cup, she gently sips it and invite everyone.

" Try it. Rich with Alkaloid."

Ame quickly walking to a vending machine and order a can of soda. While Calli and Ina said that they were both coffee drinkers.

…

" So aren't you going to destroy the world or something?" Calliope asks, sipping some foul-smelling yellow water that Fauna said is some kind of natural booze.

Fauna shook her head. " It is not my job. I am merely here to tell you about the decision, the act will soon follows. Just not today."

Calli spat her drinks. " What the hell? Even my pee has more Alcohol that this." She throws her shell cup away.

" A rotten fruit preserves in horse kidney." Fauna explained.

" Wait. Isn't that?" Calli gasp.

"Horse Urinate, if you want to call it that way." Fauna gently sips her tea.

Calli runaway to vomit while Ina stroking her back.

" Told ya, not to accept food from strangers." She is trying to calm her friend down.

" This planet is doomed either way, even if some of you girls are having some special ability. It is as useful as dirt against the council. So, if you summit today we will

appreciate to take some of you with us.

Who knows, maybe you can become part of the council in one day." Fauna explained.

" Sorry, but we are quite like our life now and no extra-terrestrial being can say otherwise." Ina said, sipping her can of soda.

" Stubborn as ever. But this is what I like about human-"

Before fauna could finish her sentences, Amelia suddenly appears out of nowhere and unload her MP7 at Fauna face, filling her body with 4.6x30 mm. Bullets.

When her gun run out of ammo. Ame stop time to reload it and shooting again.

" What the hell are you doing!" Calliope yanking Ame off her feet.

" Shooting a boss during their speech! Everybody want to tries that at least once in their life."

" With that gun? If you signal with me or Kiara that might works. But human weapon aren't-"

" This is why I hate human. They never listen to me."

Fauna spat bullets on the ground, it is mixing with her natural born teeth.

" If you want a bit of exercise then yes. I will give it to you."

A table gone as new kind of plant grows up. It is something that look like a mixing between rose, sunflower and corn.

" Meet my sapling." The whole city block seems to filled with these strange greeneries as they start turning the their bloom flowers at Ame, Calli and Ina, similar to how

soldier aiming their gun during wartime.

"Ame." Calliope said as she is raising her scythes, Ina quickly rushes in to get close with her too.

"What?" Amelia asks.

"" Run."" Calliope and Ina'nis said at the same time.

Ame stopped time and run away from the city block, when she is gone. The plants suddenly shooting it seed like a machine gun at Calli and Ina.

Reaper jumping in the building shadow with her power, while ancient one priestess creating an octagon shape energy shield to protect her body, but the force still pushing Ina

back as the seed bullet hitting her shield.

Calliope jumping at fauna from behind and using a slashing wave, Mother Nature rise her hand and a number of plants suddenly grows up like a wall, blocking the attack.

But the slashing wave is so strong that it could cut through the protection and would cut Fauna too, if she didn't step away in last minute.

" You are stronger than I ever imagined, from the record of Hachama's death. You shouldn't cut through these branches." Fauna smiles.

" Everyone is stronger now. Sh*-" in a second that Calli being distracted, a sharp spike suddenly grow up from the ground where she is standing, so, the Reaper has to

disappear in the shadows again.

Ina start shooting her tentacle cannon at Fauna, but wall of greeneries block it from reaching the target.

This fight is not going to over that easily.
