Phantom Thief of Hearts: The Halkegenia crew backstories will just have a brief summary on the how ended up in the present, either they explain it themselves or through a flashback. I'll try to make an original arc after Belial Gore, before Ziggy's resurrection which will be different in how the event plays out, there I will have Tabitha and Kirche participate in it. As for why was Sylphid happy getting praise from Justice, Sylphid see him like an older brother figure that's it.


"I had merely restored the Edens Zero's original form, but not its true power." Witch rose up from where she was kneeling.

"Its true power?"

"You wish to leave the Sakura Cosmos to search for Mother, will you not?" Witch asked Shiki.

"So, you knew about that." Happy said.

"I hear every conversation that takes place within this ship." Witch bluntly told them.

"That's scary..." Rebecca added as she sweat dropped from how blunt Witch was.

"My powers are for controlling, maintaining and protecting the Edens Zero. Please think of me as part of the ship." told Witch.

Witch projected a hologram with her hand, that showed a mural of dragons, "The Demon King Ziggy, created the Four Shining Stars, myself included. You must gather us for the ship run at full capacity. Or else, you'll find it difficult to pass through Dragonfall, the border of the Sakura Cosmos."

"What's Dragonfall?" Louise and Shiki asked.

"Dragonfall... It's a sector of space that's swarming with dragons. I've that smaller ships gets chomped to bits, in the blink of an eye." Rebecca told the pair.

"It's a place with filled with dragon? I want to see that!" Shiki with excitement on his face.

"Is it that really dangerous?" Louise could barely believe that dragon could threaten a ship this massive.

"Miss Louise, you might have a misunderstanding here. You are imagining biological dragons that while strong can never match this." Witch interjected as she used her other hand to project another image.

It showed a massive mechanical dragon that was gold in colour. It was shown alongside a hologram of the Edens Zero where the dragon was almost the same size as the black ship.

"You see these are Machine Dragon created by the Mother of All Dragons, Acnoella. One dragon could destroy a single battleship. Let alone a whole swarm will tear us apart." Witch explained to the pinkette.

"However with all of the Shining Stars here the ship we can easily destroy them and can create a path to any cosmos we please to go."

"And, just who are these Shining Stars and where are they?" Weisz asked.

Witch nodded and she sweep her arm to make three other projection.

The first image shows a slim and well-endowed young woman with blue eyes, gray eyebrows, and long, white hair and eyelashes. Like Witch she has visible mechanical seams, in her case, a single one appears across her forehead.

Her main attire is a long-sleeved black nun'shabit with E2 on the headpiece and knee-length brown boots. She had a smug smirk on her face.

"This is Sister Ivry, the Life of Edens she act as the ship's on-board doctor and healer as she the ability, Heal Atomizer which can heal both biological and mechanical beings in an instant."

The second shows another female android with the appearance of a short and petite young woman with blue eyes, long light-blue hair that fades into cyan halfway down tied in pigtails, and has two short, red-colored stripes on her cheeks.

Even though she was petite Louise couldn't help but be jealous of this girl, since had more of a figure than herself.

She wore a white bodysuit with dark-blue armor pads, violet sleeves and legs, and a mechanical headband.

"This is Hermit Mio, the Mind of Edens. She acts as the brain of this ship, she can modified the ship in a single moment to a greater degree than I could. And, she can design and create drones and starships with the on-board Fabricator."

"Heh, what make this pipsqueak special? I could definitely do the stuff she could." Weisz said with a confident grin.

"I do commend your confidence, Young Steiner. But, you lack the skills your older counterpart had develop over 50 years. Do you know how to write codes? Do you have a PHD in Ether Physics and Mechanical Engineering?" Weisz felt metaphorical knives stabbing into him as Witch pointed what he lacks.

Everyone except for Pino were chuckling and giggling at his expense.

"You shouldn't have opened your big mouth, you imbecile." Louise said in between giggles.

"Shut it, I get it!" Weisz said with a blush as he tried to hide his embarrassment.

"And, lastly this is Valkyrie Yuna." Witch featured the last hologram.

The image shows the figure of a tall yet slim, woman with a dark skin tone, salmon pink eyes, and matching long hair tied in a ponytail with a lock of hair that hangs over the left side of her face.

She wears a white armored battle suit that is form-fitting with green gauntlets, pauldrons, and a pair of winged boots with the emblem "E1" on her chest. She has a seam line on her face that goes through her right.

"She is the Sword of Edens, she maintains all of the ship's weapon systems and also acts the first line of defense of the ship."

"However I lost contact with all of them, since we parted ways after Ziggy disbanded our expedition team 15 years ago. When he decided to raise, you Shiki on Granbell. The others went out to help the people of the Sakura Cosmos, while I stayed in the Edens Zero when the day you, Shiki will come back to venture the stars." Witch explained.

"Well, you and the Four Shining Stars are Gramp's friends right?" Shiki asked Witch.

She nodded in response.

"We'll gather them all together, and we'll all reach Mother!" Shiki cheered.

"Aye!" Happy and Rebecca cheered along Shiki.

"Well said, Shiki." Witch smiled at the boy.

While Louise, Weisz and Pino just stayed silent.


"Waaaahhh! This is amazing!" Happy moaning in bliss as he was strapped to a contraption as multiple rotating brush scrub the robotic cat clean and as was blasted with soapy water.

"Sooo... What is this?" Rebecca asked as she was laying on her chest on one of the massage tables.

Rebecca and Louise returned to the spa, as Witch told them to go there together. And, they found themselves only wearing towels for modesty.

Witch was massaging Rebecca's backside with her surprisingly dexterous finger that was slathered with lavender-scented massage oil.

"It's a massage." Witch bluntly told the blonde girl.

"I know that.."

"You wish to use your Ether Gear, do you not?" Witch asked with a smile, as continued to massage Rebecca's back.

"You were listening?!" Rebecca asked incredulously.

"Like I said, I hear everything in this ship. If you soak in that bath every day, it will be possible for you to use it in the future." Witch said.

"So this massage helps me control my Ether Gear?" Rebecca asked with excitement.

"No, its just a normal massage."

"Oh..." Rebecca visibly deflated.

"And, you Louise, I could also imagine being curious of your Ether Gear." Witch looked at the pinkette who was waiting for her turn being massaged.

Louise nodded, "I had these markings ever since I could channel my willpower. I never knew these were something else..." Louise had a sad look on her face.

"Maybe, this why I couldn't cast any magic why I was just a Zero." Louise dryly chuckles as her marking appeared as she channel some willpower.

"No, I could definitely sense great power in you Louise. You have what is called a Void Ether, each Ether Gearist has their own unique affinities like Shiki with his gravity and Weisz with machines. You have a clear affinity the purest form of Ether, Void." Witch told her.

"Void?!" Louise asked in shock. But, she told herself that maybe Witch had a different term in mind when she said void.

"Yes, with Void you can take in the Ether of others to use it yourself. But, heed my words, Louise the more power you take in the more you risk losing your mind in the Void." Witch warned.

Louise seems to frown, "I don't have powers of my own... I just use someone else's power..."

"No, you see the Void is the element of nothingness. Tell me have you noticed something strange with your explosions?" Witch asked.

Louise pondered Witch's question, "I guess it just destroys everything around the blast and makes smoke but it never catches fire."

"That is one of its fundamental abilities of Void Ether, you see your explosion can erase Ether. And, the fact your explosion easily leaving craters on the ship meaning their strong enough to destroy the Ether Coat on the ship. Which isn't a small feat."

Louise felt happy that someone like Witch wasn't calling her failures and seems to understand her powers.

Witch was finishing up with Rebecca's massage. Rebecca had a blissful and satisfied look on her face.

Witch approached Louise, and Louise assumed the position and allowed Witch access to her back.

"I could teach you how to harness your Ether Gear. Since we have similar abilities."

"How could you help me?" Louise asked.

"My main ability is using Shield Ether, and but Lord Shiki gave me the ability to create my own Ether. I know you could learn my ability, Ether Creation. Though I am limited to Fire, Water, Air and Earth Ethers but I could mix these Ethers to cast any element I wish to use." Witch made a small demonstration by making all the aforementioned element orbit her index finger into tiny elemental balls.

"So, you're a Square Mage?" Louise asked.

"Please, elaborate on that." Witch continued to massage Louise's backside.

Louise told Witch about magic where she came from, and how they worked as best as can.

"I see... Louise what you describe is the Lost Art of Magic from the Dark Age Era 2,000 years ago. Though, Ziggy created me to replicate magic with Ether, since he was one of the few individuals who had seen magic in the cosmos." Witch explained.

Louise frowned at the idea of her never learning magic.

"Louise, I can't teach your idea of magic. But, I teach you how to use your Ether Gear, are you interested?" Witch asked as she smiled at the pinkette.

Louise had a hopeful look on her, as she had an unorthodox way to gain another form of magic in her in-born Ether Gear.

"I-I would like that -ahhh~" Louise moaned as Witch loosen a particularly tensed knot on Louise's back waist muscles.

"Sorry, did I put too much pressure?"

"No, it's fine it actually feels wonderful." Louise smiled as she lazily laid her face on the pillow.

"Very well." Witch continued to massage Louise. She briefly stopped as her attention was split, but continue her massage session.


Shiki, Weisz and Pino had been exploring the battleship. The trio had came upon a massive sealed door with "Code 3173" written as a massive sign above the door.

"What's with this humongo door?" Shiki said as he looked at it.

"Unlocking method... Unknown." Pino analysed.

Weisz approached the door with a cocky strut as he laid his hand on the door.

"Pssh, I could probably open it with Machina Maker." Weisz channelled his Ether as his markings flared to life.

"Huh? It won't budge." Weisz looked on with confusion.

As his Ether began to spread on the door, an electric feedback shocked him making let go.

"Ow, what the heck!"

"That is one of the ship's highky classified secrets, Code 3173." Witch spoke through one of the bugs in the ship.

"Code 3173?" Pino asked.

"I request to stop any unauthorized access to this door. It will not open until all of the Shining Stars are present."

"So what's in there?" Shiki asked.

"I am not authorized to say..."

"Hey, eavesdropping is creepy, y'know?" Weisz added.

"Like I told all of you, I can hear every conversation on this ship."

Weisz began tapping on one of the speakers in the area, "Ever heard of a thing called privacy?!"

"I am an object, when you converse do you pay mind to a wall or a chair?" Witch rhetorically questioned.

"But, you aren't an object. You have a heart." Shiki said more like a reminder, which pleasantly surprised both Pino and Witch.

"Well, it lower our cost effectiveness, but I will turn off most of the hearing devices within the ship *Bzzt*" Witch cut off the call.

Weisz bang his fist on the door, "Shut all of it!"

"Lord Shiki..." Pino looked to Shiki.

Hey what's up, Pino?"

"Do you think I... have a heart, too?" Pino asked with a worried tone.

"Well, you can cry, laugh and worry about stuff. So of course you have a heart." Shiki reassured with a smile.

Pino returned it with her own smile, "I want to go with you on your journey."

"My master wanted to find Mother, and I want to see her, too.:

Shiki chuckled at Pino, "Too late for that. I already counted on you from the start."

Shiki kneeled at in-front of her and offered his fist to tiny pink robot for a fist bump, "But in case I haven't made it clear, We're happy to have you!"

Pino bumped Shiki's bigger fist with her own tiny ones, "Thank you, Master!" Pino said with glee.

"No, don't call me that." Shiki said with an awkward chuckle.

"But you are my master now, Lord Shiki." Pino insisted as she looked at Shiki with pleading eyes.

"I don't know, about 'Lord' Shiki either..." Shiki scratched the back of his head.

Pino tilted her head, "Then what should I call you?" she asked.

"Whatever you want."

"Then I will call you master."

This went on and on.

Weisz only observed the pair with complicated look, as he remembered something from his past when he was kid. Weisz sighed and just leave them be, he headed to where the cafeteria was.

Meanwhile, back in the spa Witch still continued her massage session with Louise, Rebecca and Happy leaving them very satisfied.

'He speaks the same words as Master Ziggy.' Witch said with a smile.


Bluegarden, Edens Crew aboard the Aquawing


Within the Aquawing's cockpit, Louise looked in awe for the view she was seeing. Never in her life she would have thought to see a planet from this perspective, it made feel small in the grand scheme of things.

On the view of the window of the cockpit, he saw the massive blue planet with a tiny continents or were they actually big? Halkegenia had a limited map of their planet not knowing if there are more than the continent where Tristain, Germania, Romalia, Galia and Albion stood on, other than the Holy Lands and Rhub-al Khali.

But, she could see a largest landmass to where the Aquawing was headed, and what made the planet a gorgeous sight was the flowing Water Ether Leylines floating above the planet's atmosphere and they form a water network above that encompasses the whole planet.

Bluegarden didn't only have more than two moons, but four. Which Louise saw as they pass through one. She looked like a child who sees the wonders of the world for the first time.

Rebecca giggled as she was happy that Louise was enjoying the ride into the planet.

"Enjoying the view?" Rebecca asked to Louise.

Louise suddenly remembered she was in the presents of others, she try to hide her embarrassment.

Weisz laugh, "Psh, you look like a kid who's fogging the glass there."

An angry tick mark appeared on her head as Louise heard what Weisz said.

Louise grabbed Shiki's hand, Shiki only quirked his brow from Louise's strange action. Louise found the difference of hands fascinating... Her hands were small and soft, while Shiki's were bigger and felt rougher due the callouses in his hands. But, Louise shook the thought and activated her Ether Gear.

This action also activated Shiki's Ether Gear, and Shiki feel something being drained from him. But, it didn't feel bad or anything at all. Louise's pink markings gradual turned green as she filled her body with Shiki's Gravity Ether, "I'll borrow some, if you don't mind." Louise said to Shiki.

Shiki shrugged, "No problems."

Louise suddenly increased Weisz's personal gravity by tapping his shoulder causing him to crash on the floor of the Aquawing, "Call me a kid again and, I do much worse than this." Louise threatened with a terrifying glare.

"Ack! I give, I give, I won't do it again!" Weisz said on from he was laying down on.

"Good."

After a while, they entered the planet's capital and Louise was greeted with a massive city that put to shame the biggest capitals in Halkegenia. She see countless blue, white and green structure of strange architecture. Everything looked smooth and minimalist in design. Some buildings were taller and easily broke into the clouds from how tall they were.

The roads were populated with fast moving land vehicles like cars, busses and trucks. Meanwhile, the skies were just as busy where in the docks massive space barges moved in and out, spaceships docking into the Bluegarden's Interstellar Port.

The group docked the Aquawing on the port. They decided to head towards the Guild.

Rebecca made a sigh of relief, "I'm glad we're still in the present."

"So this is 50 years in the future? Nice!" Weisz began looking around and seeing all of the new things.

"Hey, Professor... Why don't you just go back to Norma?" Happy asked with an annoyed tone.

"There may be some issues if a human from 50 years ago were to exist in the present." Pino added.

"Tsk!" Weisz looked at the two tiny robots, "You've gotta be kidding. I ain't going back to that dead star. And, I don't plan on sticking with you guys, either." Weisz began walking away from the group.

"This where we say goodbye... I'M OFF TO ENJOY THE BABES OF THE FUTURE! LATER!" Weisz began running to a random direction.

"Good riddance to that pervert." Louise said with contempt.

"..." Shiki just a gave an unsurprised look.

Rebecca just sighed, "Is he really going to be the professor someday?"

"I don't think that's possible." Happy added.

"Don't bother wasting your breathe on that idiot." Louise huffed.

"Well firstly, let's all head to the guild. We might find some info on Sister there." Rebecca suggested.

After a short walk they reached the guild, and they were greeted with countless of people of various outfits that suit there needs in their adventure. But, what caught Louise's eyes were the massive hologram of a woman on the center of the guild's massive lobby area.

She appears with long, flowing cyan hair and five jewels on the crown of her head. she was wearing a tight suit, appearing as if she is robotic, having a white and light blue color pattern across her body, along with grey gloves and boots. She had a motherly aura to her, like a primordial idea of motherhood.

"Who is that woman?" Louise asked as her eyes were affixed to this woman, with unknown feeling of nostalgia.

"That is Mother, it is said that whoever could reach her can grant any wish." Rebecca told Louise.

"So this is Mother..." Louise her mind was in serious thought as she ponder just who was this mysterious being. Why does she feel like she meet her before, like a faint dream.

"I am so moved." Pino said with a smile.

"We'll definitely find her, Aye!" Happy cheered.

They noticed a bespectacled young woman with amber blonde hair and green eyes approach them.

"Clarise!" Rebecca waved at her.

"Rebecca! Welcome back! I- I was so, so worried - uh." Clarise was rudely interrupted when some pushed her aside.

"Labilia.." Rebecca gave the girl a stern stare.

"It's true, we were so worried for you Rebecca." Labilia with mock concern

Labilia is a young girl with long blue hair and a ponytail attached to a ball that levitates to her left. She wears a sleveeless black skintight suit with green lines and detached sleeves, two pairs of short, white skirt laces that wrap around her waist, and a pair of pale maroon boots.

"Worried you'd come back with another BORING video." Labilia said with smug glee.

Rebecca had an annoyed look on her face.

"And look... My views have skyrocketed thanks to all that worrying." Labilia put a coy finger to her chin.

Rebecca just sighed and just stayed silent, but Labilia went up to Rebecca's personal space as she back away slightly.

"Sooo tell me, what's your AMAZING video this time? Won't you please hurry and upload it? You're my latest trend, you know. Watching your crappy videos along with all of my viewers."

Labilia laughed mockily, "They're so hilarious. We can't stop laughing!"

"You really enjoy mocking me?" Rebecca asked with a tired expression.

"Yes, immensely~"

"The sense of superiority that comes when the talented look down on a talentless zero! It's exquiste!~" Labilia said with a smug grin.

"You should be glad, Rebecca. Some of your videos would have just have zero views were not for me. Go on, do that silly kitty dance or whatever you call that stupid thing. If I share it, there's a chance it might actually go viral." Labilia said as she twirled her ponytail.

Louise glared at this wench, this girl reminded her of Kirche or any of her classmates that mocked her.

"Oh, who's this brat? Did you pick her up in some dump?" Labilia giggled.

Louise snapped as her marking came to life, but before she could do anything. Rebecca stopped her, "It's not worth it." Rebecca whispered to Louise.

"OOOOOOOH! I MISSED YOU! MISTER GRAVITY MAN!" Labilia pounced on Shiki as she clung herself close to Shiki.

The act annoyed both Rebecca and Louise for some reason.

"Won't you leave these losers and just come to me? I could offer so much more than them... PLEEEEASE?" Labilia wrapped her slender arms around Shiki's neck as she made a cutesy expression. She was grinding her whole body on Shiki to entice him.

Both Rebecca and Louise's bloodlust seem to shot up to Labilia's delight.

Labilia went for a kiss on Shiki's lips, but her lips was blocked with his hands as he used his gravity to push her away, "You think I would go to someone who bullies Rebecca and Louise?"

Shiki gave her a harsh glare as he was visibly angry with Labilia. Both girls seems to blush because of Shiki's defending them and resisting Labilia's attempts to seduce him.

Labilia shrugged, "Bully is such a strong word. I'm only giving her advice." she sent her gaze at Rebecca.

"After all, Talentless garbage needs to learn when to give up the B-Cuber business." Labilia said with a cheerful smile.

The crew just collective glared at Labilia.

She merely tilted her head and pushed her tongue out, "Just sayin~" she began walking away as her guards in black suits began to gather around her.

"I have a sponsored product ad to shoot, excuse me!" Labilia strut away from them.

"But, Gravity Man if got bored of Becca and the washboard over there. You can come to me anytime." Labilia blew a kiss and wiggle her shapely ass to Shiki, "Think about it, won't you." she said as she finally left.

Louise was visibly seething as she was so tempted to just blast the vulgar wench with her explosions. Her knuckles went white due to how tight she was holding her staff.

While everyone gave a sigh of relief.

"I wish she would just disappear." Rebecca said as she put out her tongue behind Labilia's back.

"Rebecca..." Clarisse said as she cried a little.

"It's okay Clarisse."

"No, there's something else. The Guild Master wanted to speak with you. And I'm so, so worried about it." Clarisse told her.

"The Guild Master wants to talk to me? Why?" Rebecca looked confused at the prospect.

"Who's that?" Shiki asked.

"The top person here." Happy answered.

"And, you're Louise right?" Clarisse asked the pinkette.

"That's right? Why?" Louise asked.

"The Deputy Guild Master wants to speak with you, he told me to immediately lead you to his office." Clarisse told Louise.

"He wants to talk to me?" Louise was confused as she fathom someone knowing her here. But, remembered that Zerbst said there was a surprised on Bluegarden.

Was this what Zerbst was talking about?

"Lead the way." Louise said.

Clarisse nodded and lead her to the Deputy Guild Master's office.

"I think this is urgent, I'll see you guys later." Louise waved at them.

"Take care, Louise." Rebecca told her.

"You come back, okay?! You're still one of our precious crewmates." Shiki said with a happy smile on his face.

Louise didn't show it, but she felt happy around these people as if she could shed her walls around them. No Zero, No Rule of Steel, it was just her and her friends.

Louise chuckled to herself, she never thought she would ever have new friends after Henrietta when she went to the Academy. But, her musing come to a stop as Clarisse finally lead her to the office of the Deputy Guild Master.

The doors automatically open and Clarisse motioned for Louise to enter the office. What greeted Louise was more of a laboratory than an office. The room was messy, but she could see it as an organized mess, there were stacks of books with many bookmarks, that covered the desk. The bookshelves were stocked with various reagents that was familiar to her and some she wasn't familiar with. There was a massive corkboard that had numerous notes about Ether and some theories she could barely understand.

Louise felt a certain familiarity with this room, it reminded her of Professor Colbert's study in a way.

"Ah, forgive me for my unsightly office, I didn't have to time to clean up. I was notified by Kirche that you arrived just now." a young man spoke.

Louise towards the source of the voice and found a young handsome man.

The young man of average height with short brown hair and blue eyes. His attire consists of a long-sleeved cream-colored dress suit over a dress suit with a red tie, and he sports black dress pants held by a belt with a star on the center. Lastly, he wears a navy blue trench coat over his clothes with the guild's mark on the back.

"And, you are?"

"Oh, of course you didn't know what happened to me. I am Jean-Jacques Colbert, Deputy Guild Master of Shooting Star. But, you know me as Professor Colbert." Colbert greeted.

Louise's jaw drop for another time for today.

"B-but, y-you-" Louise couldn't form words due to the shock of seeing a drastically younger and handsome Colbert.

"How?!" Louise asked.

Colbert merely chuckled at the flabbergasted student with his drastically changed appearance when she last saw him.

"Simple you did." Colbert said with a chuckle.

"What?"

"Louise, sit down this will be a long story." Colbert led a shocked Louise to a couch besides a coffee table.

Colbert fished a smartphone from his pockets, "Clarisse would you be a dear and fetch, Louise and, I some of your delicious tea and some biscuits to go along with it."

Behind the call, Clarisse was flustered, "R-right a-away, Mister Colbert, sir!" Louise could hear the woman stutter from just interacting with Colbert.

"I will begin answering all of your question once you have collected yourself and when refreshments are here." Colbert told Louise with a gentle smile on his face.

"Don't worry we have some time."

Louise just nodded and she tried to calm herself down.


"Any idea why the Guild Master and Deputy Guild Master wants to talk Louise and I?" Rebecca asked as she eat the food she ordered, but she was losing her appetite.

"I wonder what is it about."

"Maybe we're in trouble for going to Norma?" Happy said as he ate his fish.

"We didn't know it was restricted territory."

"I want to meet a Guild Master, do you think we could be friends?" Shiki asked as he kept eating.

"Hey, even I have never met the Guild Master."

"Miss Rebecca, your heart rate is rising, are you alright?" Pino asked with a concerned look on the robot.

"Well, yeah! I'm nervous about it!" Rebecca exclaimed.

The blonde stood up from the table they were eating from.

"I really don't want to go..."

"I'll go with you!" Shiki suggested as he stood up as well.

"No, you won't just wait for Louise here, and order her some food she must be starving." Rebecca signaled Happy to go with her.

"I better get going, who knows maybe the Guild Master something about Sister Ivry's whereabouts." with that Rebecca and Happy departed to go the Guild Master's office.

"Why does Happy gets to go?" Shiki grumbled.

"He is confirmed to be non-problematic.."

Shiki just sighed as he slumped on his chair, "I guess we will for Louise to come back then."

"Hey, Pino want to explore the city after Louise is done?"

"I would love that Master!" Pino said with excitement.

Shiki began talking the places Rebecca had took him when brought him here.


Just outside of the Shooting Guild, Labilia just exited the guild after meeting up with Rebecca and co.

"This is such a pain! How do I shoot a video that makes THESE boring toys look fun?" Labilia grimaced as she held an alien doll.

The bodyguard just kept silent as they let the one they were guarding talk about her problems.

"I mean the pay is far too low for me, the greatest B-Cuber in the Sakura Cosmos. They should pay me more for this." Labilia said.

Just, above them was a cloaked man.

He has red eyes and large spiky green hair with the bangs brushed to the right and is held by a dark-blue headband.

He leapt down to the alleyway where Labilia went towards.

Which made her bodyguard equip their batons and guns aimed at the mysterious figure.

He looked at Labilia with a neutral gaze, "Target Identified."

"Hmmm Who are you? A fan? What a pain can't keep to yourself during my private time? Ohhh! Look at those evil eyes! This little fanboy is sooooooo scaary!" Labilia said with an arrogant smugness to it.

"Guards get him!" Labilia ordered with a smirk.

The strange man just went for a battle stance that revealed his dark-colored battlesuit with light-colored armored pads on his chest, gauntlets and boots.

Labilia's two largest guards went first, but the green haired man was faster by a very massive margin. He dispatched the two bruiser with a swift punch to gut which sent the bigger frog alien crashing into a trash can, and an axe kick on the head with the one guard with a baton.

Labilia's momentarily tensed up after seeing what this stranger could do, "What hell are you guards good for you!? Come on Number 3 and Number 4!" Labilia frantically ordered.

"We got it-"

Before we could finish what he could say, he was elbowed to the gut and crumpled on the ground. His partner got grab by his collar and was thrown into a wall.

"I'll shoot I mean it!" the last guard shouted as he aimed the gun at the mysterious assailant.

He in turn just casually walked towards to the last guard.

The guard didn't hesitate to shoot, as the bullet went flying towards the green haired man. He just casually tilted his head out of the way of the bullet. He responded by punching his fist that came off his elbow. His fist colliding hard the guard's face knocking him out.

It was some swift movement of his other arm, his rocket arm returned to it's socket on his right arm.

"Wh-wh- What is wrong with you?!" Labilia screamed out in fear, as she was backing away from the stranger.

"Is it money you want?! or-ack!" before Labilia continued to speak she was knocked out by him with a swift chopped of his hand to her neck.

Labilia immediately loss consciousness, before she could fall on the ground she was caught by the stranger. He unceremoniously carried her like a sack of potatoes on his shoulders as he activated a communicator on his right ear.

"Sister, this is Jinn, I have successfully captured Labilia Cristy as requested."

"Well, done Jinn. Illega will be happy with our newest batch of B-Cubers and celebrities." a woman's voice could be heard from the communicator.

"Jinn, use the sewer's there will be a ship awaiting you outside of the city. The Vanish Brothers will wait for your arrival."

"Very well." Jinn nodded.

Jinn approached a nearby man hole and stomped on it which sent it flying upwards, he jumped inside it with Labilia. Moment later the man hole cover fell perfectly back where it was.
