Author's Note: My condolences to TotalBiscuit and his family. Altho I haven't been the biggest fan of his. I did love his content, and I firmly support his ideals in consumer friendly practices. My condolences. I hope that wherever he is… He's at peace. I just wanted to get that off my chest. Please enjoy… and remember to I love you to your loved ones. As someone who has also seen great people leave this world. It's good that we remember the people we cared for, being remembered for the good things. Unlike some people. Still, let TotalBiscuit rest in peace.

We are Sento
We approach the Nanba Heavy Industries Composite Materials Laboratory. So this is where she hid the data? The area is closed and blocked off to the public. "Hey, why did we leave Katsuragi-san to Charles?" Ichika asks coming over with a shovel over his shoulder.
Sento: Better that we leave someone who can watch over Katsuragi-san to escort her to the Cafe. Besides, I think Charles has a few things she needs to go over on his own. But anyways… This is it.
Ichika:(sighs) Okay, here we go.
Heading past the gate, we head to an open area near the entrance to the Lab. Ichika begins to dig up a portion of the grass. As Ichika digs, Ichika hits something with his shovel. Putting aside the shovel Ichika reaches inside pushing aside some of the dirt as he pulls up a dirty mint box. "Here we are." Ichika says handing me the box. Opening the box up, inside is a small bit of bubble wrap covering and protecting a flash drive. Ichika takes the Flash Drive and looks at it. "Found it." Finally, we may finally get some insight onto all of this. "Well now. So that's where it was hidden." Suddenly a hand grabs the Drive and knocks us aside. A figure in black, the same one as during the IS Phoenix incident appearing before us.
Figure:(chuckles) Thanks for digging that up!
Ichika:(getting up) You bastard! Who the hell are you!?
Figure:(chuckles) Me? Oh I'm just you're run of the mill villain you see.(Takes out gun)
The gun was in the design of the pistol, yet with a more evil laboratory sort of creation. The figure takes out a bottle, the bottle has a Cobra molded into its body, and stands out with it's silver body compared to the clear purple. The butt and top of the bottle are both brown with a silver cap with a capital C marked on it. That looks just like the Nebula Steam gun!? But… Is it some sort of variation?! "But you know me as- Blood Stalk." The figure shakes the bottle and places it into the gun. "Cobra!" Dark metal music beings playing, as the figure brings up the gun and swings it over to the left. Turning the gun upside down, the figure brings the gun close to the mask, a distinct sniff form the mask can be heard. All this is before the figure raises the gun to the air and stating. "Choketsu." Pulling the trigger dark mist covers the figure. "Mist Match! Cobra! C-C-C-Cobra! Cobra… Fire!" White steam exudes from the chest, then a shock of electricity through the air causes the mix of both dark and white steams to crackle spark and pop like fireworks. "Y-You're Stalk?! You bastard!" Ichika shouts taking out his Dragon Full Bottle. Charging Stalk, he easly pushes Ichika aside and to the ground. I strap on my driver as I ready two bottles. "Taka! Gatling! Best Match! Hawk Gatling! Yeah~!" I battle Stalk, but another figure walks onto the scene and knocks me away. "N-Night Rouge?!" "Leave him to me." Rouge tells Stalk, as he begins off.
Stalk: Go ahead and knock yourself out. This I'll be a good place to paint an image of destruction.
Ichika:(throws helmet) Like hell you're getting away!
Build:(battling Rouge) Get the Data!
"I know, I know!" Ichika and Stalk battle hand to hand. Ichika throws a punch that Stalk catches with relative ease. "Well, well… You're already at Hazard Level 2.4? Well then. Might as well play around!" Stalk battles Ichika. Turning back to my fight, I jump over Rouge and giving myself space. Taking out a blade with levers and valves, Rouge turns a valve on the blade. "Electric Steam!" Rouge swings at me sending a cloud of electric smoke at me. I switch out the full bottles for this match up. "Gorilla! Rocket!" Entering the Trail Form, I charge Rouge and swing at him. He jumps and glides back, I ready my fist and I send the rocket arm at me. Rouge deflects the attack while moving back.
Rouge: You had better not think that's enough to beat me.
Build: Far from it. Let me show you how my arcenel has grown!
I switch out the Gorilla with Panda. "Panda! Rocket! Best Match! Are you Ready?!" I crank the lever. "Build up!" I exclaim as the armor around me forms and closes up. "Rocketpanda! Yay~!" I turn the crank on my belt. "Ready? Go!" I deflect a few shots from Rouge before I launch into the air as the finisher sounds off. "Voltech! Finish!" A spiral graph forms as I fly around and attack Rouge, knocking him to the ground. "Interesting..." Rouge notes, I charge towards Rouge.
We are Ichika
I battle Stalk all the while he chuckles with delight. "Hazard Level 2.5, 2.6, 2.7! It just keeps going up!" Stalk catches my punch. "This is utterly fascinating! A Masterpiece in the works! Very well." Stalk tossed me aside, tumbling down to the ground.
Stalk:(looks at USB) As a little reward, I'll let you have the reward. A treat if you will for you're incredible growth.
I catch the data. Huh… That was… Easy? "Stalk?! What are you doing?!" Rouge charges me, but Stalk intervenes blocking the attack. "Now hold on! Hurry! Go!" Stalk shouts to Sento. Acting on this opportunity, Sento's rocket arm fires up as he swings around Stalk and Rouge battling, and over to me. "Hold on Ichika!" Wait… No wait! I'm caught under my waist as we fly into the air. "Wait! I can fly myself~!" I shout.
We are Observer
Back on the ground, Stalk and Rouge back off. Rouge very annoyed at Stalk's actions. "You idiot… What the hell were you thinking?!" Rouge points his gun at Stalk. "Now, now… Just hear me out. I promise you wont be dissapointed. We don't need the data." Stalk explains walking past Rouge.
Stalk: We need to finish our project, with the help of that data. Kiryu Sento will oblige on that department. And Banjou Ichika can make be the one to put it to use…
Rouge: I'd better not regret leaving you alive.
We are Sento
Back at the Cafe, I place the USB in front of Katsuragi-san. "This..." Katsuragi-san hands the USB to us. "I want you to have it." "Are you sure?" Katsuragi-san nods, as she continues. "I think you would understand what Takumi would have wanted." I could feel a small smile forming on my face, as I give a small bow in thanks.
Ichika: Sorry to drop this but… You don't remember being caught by Faust?
Katsuragi: I'm afraid so. There's a gap in my memories from when it happened. But since I don't have the key anymore, I must have done what my Son asked of me. He said to give the key and number to anyone who I don't trust who goes after the data.(giggles) He would always see things like this coming. But he would never really know how much I worry.
Sento:(reaches into pocket) I'm not so sure about that. I found and analysed this anagram on Katsuragi's research log.(hands paper) This is what I deciphered from it.
Charles comes over and looks over Katsuragi-san's shoulder. "It says "Thank you for giving me life." A sweet goodbye if you ask me. I suppose he was just bad at expressing himself." A tear falls to the paper, as Katsuragi let's out quite tears. "Takumi..." She mumbles, these aren't tears of sadness or anger. Their of happiness and release. "How great for you Miss Katsuragi." Charles reassures her.
Katsuragi:(Smiling) He'd never truly tell me how he felt…
Sento:(smiles) I hope you find release.
Katsuragi:(nods) Yes… Thank you. All of you.
Ichika, Charles, and I smile and nod.
Time skip: That night…
I sit at my computer with the USB in hand. "With this we might find out the motive behind Katsuragi's murder." Chloe says looking at the USB. "Yeah, let's find out." "You sure about this?" Ichika asks walking over. "You might not like what you see."
Charles: That's true, what if the past you was… very different to who you are now?
Sento:(nods) I understand what we might find, might change everything but. What I fear the most is never finding out who I was. It doesn't matter what kind of truth it is. I've already made my peace.
"Then let's see what we can find out." Ichika says, as he and Charles comes to get a clear look. I insert the USB inside and I run the file. What shows surprises all of us. "Project… Build?" Looks like Faust wasn't the only creation Takumi made. But how far does this rabbit hole go?

"You're siding with the Devil scientist?!"
