I took a deep breath as Axl and I watched the third memory lock.

To be honest, I was nervous that I reveal my real self to him but I hope his reaction is the same as my friends from St. Freya.

"Mirian, what the hell are you doing?! Tyro didn't do anything to you!" Mr. Violette tried to persuade his wife.

"Noir, I'm scared!" My ten-year-old self cried as she tried to reach out for Noir.

"Tyro, just hang in there! We can get you safely. Mrs. Violette, you can kick me out of your lives or punish me but you can not hurt Tyro!" Noir demanded.

"The First Honkai Hunt is over but they still existed because Tyro is a Honkai! Not only that, the rarest kind! She's a Herrscher of Creation! Good thing that I brought an Anti-Honkai gun," Mrs. Violette shouted as she held and pointed a gun at my younger self.

"What?!" Mr. Violette and Weiss were shocked about my true species.

"So what! You can't threaten her because she's a Honkai. She's still an innocent, loving kid. I knew her more than you do," Noir argued.

"Wow! Is every Honkai can manipulate people, both humans, and reploids? Well, I won't hesitate to kill her and grab the Herrscher core so that our business won't be a downfall," Mrs. Violette smirked.

"And leave me and our children behind because you want to be with your lover and work for your future business," Mr. Violette spoke up.

Mrs. Violette's eyes widened open as she was stupified that her husband knew about her affair.

"Our relationship was still strained as our families forced us into marriage. I tried to love you and created Serpent and Casia together as our children but you didn't treat me as a husband, more like a business partner. Before I took Noir in, you had an affair with Vanzo... I ignored that to make yourself happy and did our best to continue our business..." Mr. Violette said as he sobbed.

"Our business is going to be bankrupt because of the mavericks but I asked Dr. Angelo for help to regain our business.

He donated the right amount of money and the machines that we needed. To repay my debt, I will continue to help the maverick hunters and the H&R Alliance.

I wanted to surprise you but threatening his daughter and using the power for your greed, I won't let you!" Mr. Violette yelled as he charged at Mrs. Violette.

*Bang!*

I heard my younger self scream.

"MR. VIOLETTE, NOOOOOOOO!" Noir cried as he saw Mr. Violette gets shot in the heart and collapse. Mrs. Violette shot him multiple times.

"There! I won't have a problem with you. Next is-Yeeouch!"

My younger self bit Mrs. Violette's arm and let her go. "Noir!" she ran towards Noir.

"You come back here, brat!" Mrs. Violette fired her gun as she attempted to kill my younger self but...

Noir hugged and protected her as a shield. He winced as he felt the sharp pain in his back.

"Noir!" Weiss rushed in as he checked Noir's back. "Oh god! It's deep! Noir, are you hurt?!" he panicked.

I heard Noir groan in pain. When I looked at him, I was speechless... I saw the pink veins on his neck and left cheek.

Mrs. Violette laughed. "Foolish Noir! You think that I have the Anti-Honkai gun. I lied because I know that you're going to risk your life and protect that Honkai. By the way, I found the most incurable virus that it's impossible to cure yourself."

"You witch!" Weiss cursed her.

"Weiss..."

Weiss and my younger self checked on Noir. He became weaker as he can't move.

I watched my younger self trembling in fear as she saw her closest friend got suffered from his adopted mother. I was hoping that she changed her heart someday... Unfortunately, she couldn't.

One thing that I didn't remember shocked me was I saw her eyes glow.

Mrs. Violette fired her gun at us again but this time... the bullet was deflected by the protective barrier.

"What the fuck!"

The rocks from the ground levitated into the air. They were created into spears by my younger self as she pointed at Mrs. Violette... without hesitation and mercy.

"No! Don't you dare!" Mrs. Violette tried to shoot but it was already too late.

The spears stabbed at Mrs. Violette's body. She was shaking, bleeding, and still stuck by the spears. With her last breath, she dropped her gun.

"Holy shit!" Axl shocked.

"I... I don't remember this. Noir said that he was the one who shot her to protect me!" I was frightened.

Weiss and Noir were dumbfounded that I killed her. Once Mrs. Violette was killed, my younger self fainted as Noir caught her in his arms.

"Tyro... Tyro!" Noir shook me as he tried to wake my younger self up.

"Noir, Weiss, don't wake her up!"

Noir and Weiss saw Papa Bear arrives. He rushed to my younger self and placed his hand with his power on my head.

"What are you doing?" Weiss asked worriedly.

"I... I need to erase the memory of killing Mrs. Violette. If her memory will go to the public, anyone might be going to use her as a weapon or else, kill her... Noir, you need to cover up about Mrs. Violette's death... I know it's stupid but please."

I had never seen Papa Bear beg for the first time. He never begged anyone before.

Noir stared at my younger self and then, Papa Bear and nodded. He got up slowly as he took the gun from Mrs. Violette.

"Mother! Father! Where are you?!"

We heard a voice from someone. Papa Bear had no time but he raised his hand and perished the spears into dust from Mrs. Violette. Her stab wounds turned into a single bullet wound in the head. As he finished the cover-up, a male reploid with short black hair, amber snake eyes, and purple armor arrived. It was Serpent, Mr. and Mrs. Violette's reploid son.

He was terrified to see his parents' or creators' deaths. As he glanced at Noir with a gun, his facial expression turned into hatred.

I realized that I fucked up and didn't remember this because of Papa Bear.

I blocked his way to protect Noir but he ran through me because he was the part of the memory lock that I couldn't stop him. He punched Noir in the face. As Noir collapsed, Weiss and Papa Bear were shocked as they held Serpent and away from Noir.

"Serpent, this is not what you see! We can explain!" Papa Bear yelled.

"Why?! Why did you murder our family?! They raised you and this is what you give them in return! You mother fucker!" Serpent shouted outrageously as Weiss and Papa Bear still held him.

Noir didn't look at Serpent's eyes as he touched the bruise. As he looked at my younger self while she was unconscious, he sighed.

'At least, you didn't see that coming.'

Oh my god! Is this memory lock all true?! I was the one who killed Mrs. Violette! Why Noir lied and protected me?! Why did Papa Bear cover them up and blamed Noir for this?!

"Tyro, you need to get out now!"

Huh?!

The surrounding shone brightly as my arms covered my eyes. I closed and opened them as I saw Axl through my VR goggles. He helped me remove the VR goggles and got up carefully. I was breathing heavily.

"Are you alright? Sorry that I stopped you. I saw the heart monitor from the computer. You nearly had a panic attack," Axl explained.

"Eh? There's a heart monitor?" I was confused.

"Well, yeah. Not only the subject has a heart monitor. You have that too. The third memory lock was... intense. I don't want you to force yourself to continue. I know there are three memory locks left but you need a rest a bit," Axl requested.

"I see... You're right. It was intense. Alright, I need some rest within minutes," I agreed.

"Yeah. About that, can you move a little so that I can sit down too? The Pysnc Machine doesn't have a chair for the navigator," Axl pouted.

I checked the Pysnc Machine and he had a point. The only chair was for the pysncer. "Oh! Right," I moved to the left side.

"Thanks," Axl smiled as he pressed on the chest light as transformed his armor into civilian outfits. He wore a black shirt with a red skull design, baggy pants, and sneakers. He sat on the lounge chair, next to me.

Because of my dizziness, I leaned my head on his shoulder. I noticed Axl moved his arms as his right arm hugged me and his left hand held my hand.

I thought it was awkward but I felt comfortable as I slept a little. I realized that Axl still accepted me after all… What a big relief.
