"Ow! Ow! Ow! My head. I can't believe that we fell for that," I groaned as I got up from the ground. I snapped my fingers as I activated a ball of red light.

"Now, who is or are with me this time?" I wondered.

"You bastard! You and the adepti will die!"

"Copen, stop! I didn't know what are you talking about!"

I heard Copen and GV. Are they fighting?!

I ran as I followed their voices. I entered the cave with torches lit up the fire.

Indeed, GV and Copen were fighting with electricity and weapons.

"Sacred sword agleam! Barbarous and bathed in blue! Cleaving right from wrong! Luxcalibur!" GV summoned and threw a huge-ass electricity Excalibur at Copen.

Copen dodged. "Though it taints my heart! I give all to banish sin! To oblivion!DOPPLER DESTROYER…!" he summoned his illusion clones as they attacked GV but GV avoided them.

Oya! Oya! Those boys watched too many magical girls. Can they do rap battle like the Epic Rap Battles Of History or Kongming VS Kabe?

Though I want to kick their asses but Ms. Pinky pig requested me not to fight.

After we got the messages from Dr. Angelo, Tyro went completely silent.

"Oi! Tyro, are ya listening or should we record again?" I asked to snap her train of thoughts.

Tyro knocked her senses. "Oh! Sorry! I was thinking about Noir. I didn't know he was there with the Herrscher of Elements. I want to meet up with him terribly. I just don't know if I go on the mission with you all first or meet up with him" she mumbled sadly. It was been years since she didn't meet up with her important person.

"How about we go on a mission and meet up with Noir if you spot him? I can explain to the others about your situation. Plus, we can search and fight the Herrscher on ourselves," Lailah suggested.

"Yeah! Don't forget, You have a friendly Herrscher of Sentience on your side. As long as you reward me," I grinned and gave a thumbs up.

Tyro was surprised at the moment and chuckled. "Alright then, I'm trusting in you. Salamat(thank you)," she smiled.

Tyro and Lailah trusted in me that I used my illusions for harmless pranks, blackmail, or traps to avoid getting into the fight or not to waste time. Thus, I sighed as I channeled my Honkai energy and created my illusion for their weaknesses.

"GV!"

"Acura-kun!"

"What the! Joule! You're here-whaaa! Why are you in butterfly lingerie?!"

"Kohaku?! What are doing here?! What's up with your kitty cat costume?!"

"Huh? Boss, GV, Kohaku, and Joule are not here," Lola was confused.

"Ooooooooh! Huehuehue! Hehehehe! Hahahahaha!" I laughed out loud because those two dinguses dreamed of their girlfriends in sexy outfits.

"Yatta! Your dreams worked! Now, stop fighting, or else, I will tell your girlfriends about your crazy imaginations, you pervs!" I blackmailed them with my big grin.

"Don't you dare!" Copen demanded as his face was blushing.

"We won't fight! Just please don't tell Joule about it!" GV was shocked as he covered his blushing face.

A few minutes later, the boys explained their reasons for the fight.

"Let me guess... Copen's dad, Dr. Kamisoto was murdered by an adeptus but the Sumeragi Group didn't share the information about the killer. GV was at the scene of the crime and thought that he was a suspect... Are you sure about that?" I asked as I put my hand on the left side of my waist.

"Of course! Professor Vanzo told me that Gunvolt and Asimov are the ones who ended my father's life! The adepti are the real demons and shall not exist!" Copen yelled outrageously.

Understable that losing Copen's dad was heartbreaking BUT blaming GV and the adepti for killing his dad, call them demons without knowing and no evidence to prove it? Bruuuuuuuh! :(

"Do you have evidence? 'Cause I have one," I took out my Iphone and showed the video. "Lola, you will be my eyewitness too? Just in case, if the vid is legit or not?"

"What is that video?" GV asked.

"About you got sexually harassed by a creepy-ass, sadistic, pedo scientist," I played the video.

"Wait! What! No! I was tortured by his experiments! Also, can you skip the torturing part?!" GV begged nervously.

As he requested, I skipped the torture part and played the important part.

In the video, GV coughed and cried as his hands and feet were chained with wires. He was the nine-year-old human kid at that time. Three scientists did nothing to help the hopeless GV.

The first scientist was GV's tormentor. The second was Professor Nova, Professor Vanzo's brother and the third was Dr. Kamisoto.

The video came from the surveillance camera and was hacked by Tyro's dad. It was recorded at 7 PM, August 9, 22XX.

"Hmm... This boy has a lot of electric energy. Should we add more? I love to see him beg," the tormentor smirked. Ugh! Cringe! That purple dude was like Squidward's plastic surgery face and a buttchin created by SpongeBob's hitting door technique.

"No! No! No! Please! No!" GV cried even more. I felt extremely bad for him. Then, I saw GV go emo mode as his bangs hid his eyes. If I meet this abuser, I'm gladly want to whip him HARDCORE.

"Enough! We can continue it next week. If we do it again, we might lose him," Professor Nova commanded. He looked like Professor Vanzo but his hair was dark purple with a white highlight.

"Professor Nova, I would suggest that we need to stop creating adepts," Dr. Kamisoto suggested. He looked like he was in '50s.

"Oh? Is there a problem?" Professor Nova asked.

"Well, it's just... We created so many of them. Some of them didn't survive and some are lucky to have powers but we might lose humanity because of what we did. It's out of balance," Dr. Kamisoto concerned.

"Ha! How about the reploids? Humans relied on them too much but they got replaced by reploids as well. That's why we create more humans with special abilities. I mean, they fantasized about becoming superheroes. So, we made their dreams come true," Professor Nova explained. "Your son wants to be a hero too, right? He has the same intelligence and invented a lot of weapons. We can help him too."

Honestly, humans with superpowers were very awesome that their dreams will be like in My Hero Academia, Marvel, and DC. Nonetheless, some of them can be used for evil and cause more trouble like the supervillains.

Sooo... Humans, reploids, and adepti are still people. They love, hate, respect, insult, make mistakes, fix their own, and so forth... Honkai with a human disguise or brain is a person too.

Dr. Kamisoto went pale as Professor Nova imagined his son with adepti abilities. He didn't want him to put some experiments on his son by force. "I accepted my son's talents. I apologize for my behavior," he bowed.

After their experiment on GV, there was another scene at 12 AM, August 10, 22XX.

GV was unconscious and carried by Dr. Kamisoto with a blanket. He was about to escape but it was too late that Professor Nova spotted him.

"Dr. Kamisoto, I am very disappointed in you," he said with a deep tone as he took out his gun.

"Nova, this boy will ruin our future! If he tries to against us, he will kill us-"

*BANG!*

In the last scene was Dr. Kamisoto gets a headshot and GV brought back to the prison with Professor Nova. Thus, the video ended as we discovered the true culprit.

Based on Copen's reaction, he was so dismayed that his father got murdered by Professor Nova. Same as GV he didn't know that Dr. Kamisoto tried to save him and was completely shocked.

"I checked on the video, Boss! Senti is not lying in the video. This video was recorded by Dr. Angelo Nightgale when they had the meeting with Professor Nova and Professor Vanzo. He was the one who placed the hidden video cameras in the areas and hacked the other surveillance cameras. This video has no edit. It's 100% real," Lola clarified.

"Is it true?" GV asked as he tried to stay calm.

"You can ask Dr. Angelo about it. He said that the Sumeragi Group was under suspicion of human trafficking and force experiments illegally," I answered.

"I remembered Asimov saved me and other victims but he only killed the Sumeragi Group soldiers. I didn't know why Dr. Kamisoto saves me from him," GV sighed.

Copen kneeled and punched his fist on the ground. "Why?! Why did Professor Vanzo didn't tell me that was true?! I trusted him! He took care of me and my sister!" he cried angrily.

I sat down and looked at him. "Dunno but I think that he wants you to avenge your father by killing GV and other adepti. Regardless, killing the adepti is kinda racist and pointless as an act of revenge. You need justice for your dad by asking Professor Vanzo the entire truth."

"Senti, how did you have the evidence and know the truth?" Lola asked.

"Actually... Tyro, Lailah, and I received the message and shreds of evidence from Dr. Angelo. He ordered us to tell the truth to Copen. After Copen discovered about it, we need to tell the others and confront Professor Vanzo," I said.

"How about the Herrscher of Elements?" GV asked.

"He's still here but still hiding. Why Professor Vanzo wants him?" I wondered as I rubbed my chin with my index finger.

"He wants the Herrscher core for his projects."

GV, Lola, and I heard from Copen's response.

He took a deep breath and continued. "I accidentally heard the conversation with another scientist. They spied on Dr. Angelo and other scientists from MH HQ about Herrscher cores. They can use the cores for their machines and robots in the future. They were curious about the Herrscher core of Creation but they couldn't find it. So, they want to get the Herrscher core of Elements."

"You're not kidding but still, thanks for the information... So, what are you going to do now?" I asked as I folded my arms on my chest.

"We need to find the others. Then, I'm the one who will face Professor Vanzo alone," Copen answered.

"I know your skills and weapons are epic but you can't fight him alone. I fought Nova before and his brother might have the same power as he does. I'll join you instead," GV volunteered.

Copen didn't look in the eyes. He closed his eyes and sighed. "Whatever."

"Case closed! Welp, we should search for others. Turn our light powers on and find them," Lola suggested as she turned her lights on.

Phew! At least, it was over. What a relief. Now, we're going to catch up with Tyro, Lailah, and the others-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

We gasped as we knew their screams.

"Lailah/Joule!" GV and I were shocked as we rushed away to the tunnel."Ow! Ow! Ow! My head. I can't believe that we fell for that," I groaned as I got up from the ground. I snapped my fingers as I activated a ball of red light.

"Now, who is or are with me this time?" I wondered.

"You bastard! You and the adepti will die!"
