The Quotes that I wanted to post in this chapter:

"Keep your eyes and reaction in check, or you'll be the feast of the coming time."


"El Azar"...

"Got new intel?" a same male voice as before spoke.

"I apparently noticed a group of people that I didn't found somewhere. I led to believe that the Oracle of Planeptune must be behind all of this." a female voice said, this time, it's new and feminine.

"How lovely... perhaps we can take a visit from where they came to?"

"I do not know. I have no power to open something." sounding depressed.

"Worry not. I have a plan."


Chapter 4 - Paying a Visit (Part 3)

"OK guys. Guess this is a goodbye for now." Shana said, smiling sadly to the group as they stand in front of the portal. Ready to enter.

"Don't worry. We might see again next time, Shana-san." Histoire said.

"I will surely wait that they to see you guys. But let me do one more thing."

Histoire look at her, confuse. "Uh? OK. What is it?"

Faster than the blink of an eye. The group found Shana cuddling Rom, "I will miss you little Rom!"

Rom seem surprise but suddenly used to it.

Everyone sweatdrop at this scene. "Ah, OK then." Histoire said, smiling while scratching her head.

After that event, everyone said goodbye to Shana as they entered the portal shortly.

"Woah!." Everyone said as they all entered the portal and look at their surroundings, astonished. The place seems like it cut into two parts. On their right shows a wide field, only bushes and some flowers sprang in the ground. The wind seems cool under the bask of the sunlight. On their left shows a much thicker forest with dark mountains around it, the place seems dark and mysteriously not to enter.

"This is one heck of a view! We're like into two worlds!" Uni said, amaze at the two-part scenery.

"It is. So, this is the place? The Hunting, yellow zone?" Kei said to the tome.

"Oh yes it is. By now I can only tell that we are in the middle of this field." Histoire answered.

"By telling it. It looks like one of those books that Lady Blanc has, I believe it is a 'Parted Destinies'?" Mina said, pushing her eyeglasses using her ring finger.

"I have to agree with you to that Mina. Even though I didn't really know it."

"Wonderful! I better take some note of this place. It looks pretty fantastic." IF said, amused tone.

"Yeah! Ai-chan!" Compa said to IF, jumping a little in her place in gleeful.

"It's pretty..." Rom commented.

"Yeah it does Rom-!? Wait, does anyone heard that!?" Ram said, looking around. Cautiously.

Everyone looks confuse but started to hear a rustling sound everywhere at them. They come closer to each other and ready their respective weapons. Well, not all everyone has a weapon actually.

Then suddenly wolves came out of the bushes and jumped straight at them. From the looks of this wolves, they're hungry.

"Everyone hold on tight!" A voice yelled at them. Then person appeared in the middle of them and jump straight up when something sprout around him and started to slash all the wolves out.

The wolves slowly falls on the ground once the slashes end. Everyone get a better view of a person. A male. His appearance is: A white-snow wind swept hair, tan skin and black eyes. Appeared to be wearing a black skin tight suit and a black cape that connects in his suit. He was holding a ball of light with four laser swords circling around it.

"Whew! Good job holding him!" the guy grinned at the group who's eyes were wide. The guy catches their confusion, "Ah! I forgot, I'm Acon, the CyBlade Hunter! I hope you're not confuse anymore." still grinning at them.

"Actually, we're not onto that..." Uni sweatdropped.

"W-well... you're kinda came out of nowhere... s-so, yeah..." Histoire said awkwardly.

"Acon!" A voice shouted. Everyone turn their back to Acon into the owner of the voice. A little girl to be exact, she seems to be tired. Her appearance is: A soft brown hair, black eyes and a pale skin, there's some bandages covering her right eye, like an eyepatch. Appeared to be wearing a black and white sweater that seems to be bigger in the arm area. A black skirt with a gold linings.

Acon seems to notice this and walk towards the girl, "Ah, Sena. Sorry there little dear. I'm just kinda in a hurry since it's our mission to escort the visitors towards the city." he said while he pat her head.

"OK, fine. Since it's Onii-chan order anyway." the girl said.

"Way to bet yah." Acon agreed. Then he turned towards the group, and seem to notice a blue haired woman staring weirdly at her but avert his gaze towards the little tome. "Maybe your leader wanted to introduce someday." he said sarcastically while grinning at Histoire.

Histoire was slightly surprise but she stand in front and introduce everyone. Ah, I'm tired writing down names already. Let's just escape the introduction. Sorry there readers.

"... and yeah, that's pretty much all of it." Histoire explain. While she was explaining, group of men (and some women!) came at their location and escorted them towards the place. They we're nearing the entrance towards the Hunt when Histoire finished explaining to Acon and the little girl, Sena.

"Heh. A visitor came from a certain dimension? Gamindustri, eh? Well, to tell you guys the truth. Few people from other dimensions we have met. Most people visited this world came from other worlds." Acon said, warmly at them.


Mina's POV...

I found it weird to met Acon. I'm actually quite flustered when he found me staring. Yet somehow I can't avert my gaze on him.

I look up in the sky and saw a figure of Lady Blanc, I smiled. I wished Lady Blanc was alright, I don't know how to say it to the twins if something wrong. My eyes got teary a bit while I still look up. I noticed this quickly and wiped the tears away. Everyone was talking while many troops from the Earthenious stills guide us towards closer to the city. We've already entered in the Hunt Forest, Green Zone for short.

"Ah, fresh air!" I heard Nepgear muttered in happiness.

A swept of wind came by and pass at me. My hair sway as well as my coat. It's pretty cool breeze and the place felt peppy somehow making me wanted to run around for a bit. I felt energetic.

Then I noticed Ram and Rom wasn't by my side. I look around confused, "What? Where are-?" my confusion cut when I see them with Sena, running in the distance towards the hill. And this time, my body slowly catches up to them.

They stop at the top, and when I'm standing beside them. I look in front and widen my eyes.

"Welcome to, Earthenious." Acon said, appearing beside Sena while the others also look. Their eyes was full of awe. The place, can either be mixture of both Leanbox and Planeptune. They saw a freaking large city. Forest surrounded the gigantic city, perhaps larger than they see. Tall, luxurious and designed in a proper, futuristic way. Among the buildings, the one in the middle of the large city appeared to be wider but not the higher building out of all. I somehow look at the roads. I can't describe it as roads since it looks like a nerves of the city. A maze. We somehow spotted some of the building, specifically, the insides appeared to be... moving? I don't know how they did that but somehow, it is pretty unbelievable that they all work this but I guess it does...

"This place is mechanically well made!" Nepgear said, excitedly and awe.

"I don't know what I can describe from this place other than awe." Histoire sweatdrop at the sight.

"No worry folks! I can guide you to the never ending ways towards Traks-sama's house." Acon said, grinning.

"If I can tell that's not definitely a house to me." IF said, amazement in her voice while looking at the city.

While they keep on talking themselves. I felt tug down me and looking down, I notice Rom looking up at me. And Ram was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Ram?", I ask. Rom pointed towards and I saw Ram and Sena chasing each other down the hill towards the city.

"Hey, hey girls! Calm your feet down." Acon shouted at them, running up to them.

I was started walking when I trip suddenly on a rock. "Eek!" I shouted and then started to roll down the hill. I can see a glimpse of a person that I was going to impacted for. I close my eyes as I collide from the person.

"Ow!" I could hear the person groaned, it is Acon. I gulped and slowly open my eyes. And met Acon face first.

I was above her. From what the corner of my eyes sees, I caught my hands above him. I froze in my place and slowly my face went red.

"A-a-ah..." I tried to say something. Acon raised an eyebrow at me, wondering what I'm saying. "Uh? Yeah, what is it?"

Did HE just ignore what's going on? I couldn't, somehow, move away and avert my gaze. I stared down at her. Our eyes locking at each other. He looks... handsome...

"Ahem!" A loud voice disturbed. I "Meep!" when I sat up. Looking up to Histoire, who seems surprised. I started to look around. Everyone was staring at us, wide eyes in surprise, even the troops stops on what they're doing and look at me.

It was dead yet awkwardly silent. My face started to heat more as it suddenly turned more awkwardly. I look up to Histoire, "I-I- It's no-not l-like that!" I said to her.

"Then stand." She bluntly said to me. I raised an eyebrow.

"Do you know 'where' your sitting at?" I look down. And I found myself sitting at Acon's lap. His face shows bored yet he's still grinning. I couldn't take this awkwardness anymore!

"KYAHH!" With all I could muster, I slapped Acon.

I could really hear a bird flying away.

-CUT-

"I'm so sorry Acon!" I apologize over and over again, much to his confusion on why. My slap could have gotten a lot harder and where I slap his cheek was mark of my hand. Good thing is, Compa brought some bandage for his cheek.

"He-hey! Cool down Mina-san! I said it's OK, the OK." He said awkwardly again (probably more 'again') at me.

It takes several minute for me to silent down. But I still felt guilty to what I did to him.

"Sir Acon, we've arrived at the gate." One of the troops step in towards Acon. He looks at me then nod at the troop who promptly leave.

"Guess I'm leaving you guys for a bit here. I'm in a hurry though, I have another mission after this." Acon said to us.

"Aww... maybe we could see each other next time." Nepgear said, slightly sad.

The others mutters also to Acon. Histoire stepped in, "We can take care of Sena while you're gone."

Acon grinned at this, "I can entrust that to you guys. Also there's one more thing." he said to us. Catching our attention.

"There's another person that will probably escorted you towards Traks-sama's place. Alright, goodbye guys!" He wave at us and run towards at the opposite direction, the same way from where we came from.

I couldn't help but look at him while he's running. I felt something... bad going to happen. I ignored it and turned towards the group again.

But I also couldn't help but felt someone watching me...


Somewhere in the Hunt Forest...

You probably forgot (or not) about Arfoire and Juerana...

"One two, one two, one two three, GO!" Arfoire shouted as she hold a wooden sword and pointed it towards Juerana who dashed at her, holding also the same sword as well. Since they can't do anything anymore, they just spar. Arfoire ask about Juerana, on how living alone in the middle of the forest. Juerana answered quitely hesitated. She said that she once live in the city and one of the gentleman their trained her how to do in living. When she can do it alone, she left the city because she wanted do something alone. Quite hesistate...

Arfoire block and countered Juerana's attack who just dodge out of the way, doing a back flip. Arfoire smirk at the girl's agility. Juerana may not seem that strong in strength but the ability to dodge and move swiftly was far from Arfoire could imagine even though she can keep up with the girl. Juerana tried to slash up and Arfoire counter it downward. At first, Arfoire was winning in terms of strength but afterwards, Juerana slowly catch up to her. Arfoire started striking downward and Juerana dodge it by sliding herself. Juerana throws her sword up in the air towards Arfoire while she did a front flips towards Arfoire and jump in the air when close and catches the sword in the air, bringing her sword downward. Arfoire was slightly surprised at this but she block her attack. She tried pushing Juerana but the little girl have other hands. She kick the sword out of Arfoire and pointed it towards her.

"Nice. You've got some sleeves up there girl." Arfoire clap while she walk towards the sword.

"It's nice sparring with you, Arfoire. I'm sorry if my strength is not enough." Juerana said in embarrassment while she rub behind her neck.

"No. I'm quite surprise at your techniques you've been doing."

"Sweet, thanks."

"Ready for one more?"

"I would love to but we need to rest."

"Yeah. Maybe that's a good choice for now."

The two slumped down on the logs nearby as they drink their bottles with water. The cool breeze added more much to there relief of air. There was silence between. Arfoire suddenly frowned, she hated silence but it somehow got her easily.

"Neptune..."

"Hm?"

"Nothing..."

"You seems depressed?"

Arfoire look at Juerana and got a glimpse of worry in her eyes. She lowly chuckle...

"Just a friend I remember."

"It must be sad not to return at you own dimension."

"Yeah but who can say anyway. I can't probably return their now..." Arfoire sadly said.

"Hmm..."

Arfoire notice Juerana in deep thoughts when she snap her finger.

"I know!" Juerana said happily.

"What?"

"We can visit the city and ask for Traks-sama to open a portal!"

"You're serious!?" Arfoire stared at Juerana in surprised.

"More than that. Now come on! Let's return home and ready for some adventure!"

Juerana then grab Arfoire's hand and drag her towards home, leaving their water bottles in hurry. But Arfoire glance back and followed Juerana. Just as they're out of sight, a person emerged. A male person. His appearance is: Face is unknown because of a mask. The white mask designed a two horns, black eyes and a monster like mouth, grinning showing a pointed teeth. But on closer look, there's no hole to see or to breathe either. The person wears and a tight black suit. There's also some sort of metal that covers both arms.

He stared at the bottles that's left and look back at the place where Arfoire and Juerana disappear.

The person remembers a conversation yesterday before coming into this place...

Flashback...

"Ah! It's you, Saizen." A person said. A male. His appearance is: A black messy hair, tanned skin but wears a complete black vizor the same as Cyclops in his eyes Wearing a black tight suit with a green lights going around the suit. There's some sort of earth floating around him and a sword strap at his waist.

Saizen stared at the person as he made a short bow at him, "What is it Traks-sama?"

"I've notice a open portal short awhile ago. I can't say what is was but it spawned in the Hunt Forest. I can't say either that it is a threat perhaps but I would like you to scout the place." The young man, called Traks, said.

Saizen raised his eyebrow, "But I thought that Acon would be scouting that place, sir."

"Ah, you see. I will sent Acon tomorrow in the Hunting Forest. I have something for him to investigate there."

Saizen nod, "I will, sir."

"Good. You're dismissed."

Flashback ends...

The person, Saizen, slowly walks away and muttered.

"A girl and a woman..."


Juerana's POV...

"Damn girl. You don't have to be hurry." Arfoire groaned at the girl.

"Deal with it. I'm going to visit the city! It's been long since I gone out anyway." I said excitedly. "By the way you have to change yourself. You don't wanted to have seen like a strange person, right?"

Arfoire sweatdrop and look down at her self. "Guess you're right. Where the bathroom actually?"

"Just over there." I pointed. Arfoire nod and walk towards it. Closing the door after getting in.

I smiled at myself. After living here for so long, I finally got a friend. An adult one. I look around at the room, we're in my living room anyway. I slumped down in my couch and sigh in relief. There's a coffee table in front of me, and a picture in the middle. I stared at the picture. In the picture, I saw myself being carried by young man. The young man's appearance is: A slightly black skin, pair of black eyeglasses and black hair. We seemed smiling in the camera.

I don't know what happened but somehow I felt something wet falling to my cheeks. As I raised my hand to touch it, it is a tears.

Somehow my heart hurts but I ignore it and wiped away the tears. A sound of door opening caught my attention and I look over as I saw Arfoire in her new wearing. She remove her hat now as she carried it to her side. She wears a dark brown wrap dress and boots.

"Maybe this is okay?" Arfoire ask me. I giggled somehow. She looks like my mother-like appearance.

"It's fine. Guess we can go now?"

"Sure. Take the lead."

I nod and went towards the door. "You sure will not change?" Arfoire ask me. I still wears when I met her.

"Nope. And besides this is only out of a few dress I have. Don't worry, come on now." I replied and open the door.

She just shrugged and follows me as we walk towards the city.


We've arrived at what seems like to be a looking gate. Behind it, we could see the massive city. As we walk closer to it suddenly two men appeared in front us, halting our movements.

"Halt there! Strangers. May I know I few question from you two?" One of the man said to us, eyeing suspiciously.

"Uh... ye-yeah. Fine, what is it?" Arfoire stammered yet annoyed tone.

"First. Where do you two live?"

"Hunt Forest, sir." I answered that question as I tugged closer to Arfoire.

"Second. Do you two have experiences in the city?"

"I live here once and leave the city when I'm older." Arfoire said. I look at her and she look back at me and we both nod.

"Third. If you want to enter, keep in mind. Common senses. If you have weapons, allowed but not to used maliciously. Do not disturbed if do not. You're free to enter now. Welcome to Earthenious." The two men opened the gate.

We nod and the men disappeared into thin air. We just shrugged and entered.

"Woah..." When we entered, we find ourself in the park. We look at the properly, orderly chaos state. People running lively around. Cars was driving on the road.

"Such technology. Better than Planeptune..." Arfoire commented around.

"It's been so long since, I didn't even now that they could be so fast at progressing." My jaw was almost left my mouth in awe at this place.

"So. Where we should be going now?"

"Hmmm... I don't know. Maybe we should take a walk around."

"Sounds cool to me."

We tugged closer to each other. There's apparently a lot of people. We walk in the sidewalk while looking around. I noticed many things that I haven't seen since I'm here before. As we traveled together, we saw several people in arms. Their armor looks like a robot attached to their body. We noticed some shops selling various gears for people that seems interested. The cars was pretty cool and good looking. We only noticed a few less develop than we see. We managed to find a coffee shop and rest there while looking through the glass outside.

"I don't know what to say. I was speechless at this place." I said. I ordered a food for both of us. I also have money before we go too.

"Yeah. I'm kinda amazed at this technologies they have. Back to my dimension in Planeptune. The place there was also high tech but I never thought that there are much more high tech. Heh." Arfoire chuckled. The waitress returned and give us our order. We ate silently, only asking a simple questions.

Arfoire seems stop eating and widen her eyes on what she saw outside. I raised my eyebrow to her and follow her gaze. I saw a group of people on the other side of the street.

They seemed to be guided by a person in front. I just noticed what looks like a fairy floating in a... book?

"Arfoire? Do you know those people?" I pointed out. They're still walking while looking around, they seemed didn't noticed us.

Arfoire looks away. I can see that she wears a sad face in her. I look at her and looks at me and I shrugged.

"I know them. They're my enemies. I was a person that wanted to defeat them and captures Gamindustri to be one nation." She mumbled to me. I didn't want to say anything as she keep on saying.

"I don't know why. I only know that I'm doing something for Gamindustri and that's it. And I lost countless times because they keep fighting for their nation. Didn't I say you what happened before I came here?" she said to me. I nod.

"I've heard that the goddesses was gone and the monsters around has been increasing in an unfamiliar speed way. I didn't even last a day there after the goddesses vanished." she then put a serious expression as she stand. She then reached out to me I grab her hand.

"I'm going to change now." She smiled as her faced turned into a determined one.


Unknown's POV...

"Calm down... calm down..."

I was saying a soothing yet comforting words at Xemelisa as she hugged me tightly. After I wake up in my room, I noticed she wasn't there and decided to look for her. Only to find her crying in the living room with seems to be unconscious Nocios in the couch laying down while she wept to his side. I don't know why she's crying but she needs a comfort.

It's almost half an hour when she stop crying but she's still hugging me. I just let her hug me as I hug her back. My shirt seems a little wet because of her tears but dried now. She was shaking uncontrollably before but she seems to calm down a bit when after she stop crying.

"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned.

She didn't seem to answered as she tightened her hug a bit but I ignore it as I stroke her back slowly.

"Un-unkn-" She hiccuped as she tried to say my name. Her voice was breaking. I couldn't help but felt a pang of hurt in my heart seeing her like this.

"Hm?"

"On-onii-chan... h-he's go-gone..." she muttered. My eyes widen when she said that.

"W-what!?"

"I co-could...couldn't find hi-him i-inside th-the hou-house..." she replied, her voice was started to break. I immediately started to calm her down by stroking her back and her hair.

"What happened?"

"I do-don't kn-know... I-I... ju-just found Nocios-san lying in... in the ba-balcony... bruised..."

I look closely at Nocios who's just beside me. I noticed it that at the side of his face that seems a cut but started to heal. His eyes closed but he seems to be like fighting something stronger than him.

I then felt Xemelisa look up to me and then I look back at her. Her eyes seems to be turning red a bit. There was dried tears in her eyes and that falls in her cheeks. I don't know why I'm staring but I my body seemed to act on its own as my hand put to her cheek as I wiped the dried tears away. She seems surprised at my movement but she slowly accepts it with a half lidded eyes.

"Un-unknown?" She said.

I did not respond. The heck am I doing?

Oh don't worry, you're absolutely fine. *grinning*

Please not now Shelves. I barely know one of your OCs yet I'm going to do... 'that' already. No green minded readers.

I heard a groan as I instinctly put my hand away from Xemelisa who was disappointed. Wait, disappointed?

I look beside me and saw Nocios was sitting in the couch while putting his hand on his head.

"Dammit. Why... did he do that?" he grunted. He noticed the two of us and looks at Xemelisa who was still in my arms. I blushed in embarrassment as I slowly stand, helping Xemelisa.

"Nocios-san!" Xemelisa said as she hugged the guy. Nocios returned the gesture.

"What happened?" I asked. He looks at me, he didn't respond, it felt like he don't wanted to say it.

Xemelisa parted away and look at him intently, "What happened, Nocios-san?"

Nocios looks away from us and then returned his gaze, he took a deep breathe and finally say what the problem was.

"Draking... he left."


Somewhere in the city of Earthenious...

Inside the dark place. We could see silhouette but we can't tell the detail clearly. There was floating futuristic screen there and a woman. Her appearance is: Black hair, a white tied in the neck hood, and alabaster skin. She wears a violet dress and she was sitting on a chair. She seems bored.

"Veliza?" a male voice said.

"Hm?" a female voice returned.

"I've noticed-"

"You mean the two figure that will come into my home?"

"Yeah. I know Nazo there. But the other one seems familiar to me."

"A new person that will perhaps will join to me?"

"Don't use 'perhaps', Veliza. You're not like that."

A female voice chuckled.

"Of course not. I'm just using a tip of my tongue to theorize, not my whole tongue to agree with."

"Ah, I see. Hey, one more question."

"Yes?"

"When will you really meet France?"

"Veliza?"

"... leave him, and f*** him either."

A male voice gasp a little in shocked of the female voice swear.

"You don't have to swear like that, Veliza."

"I'll be honest with you. Leave. Him." the female voice seems irritated and angry at the same time.

"Okay. Why exactly you're here by the way again?"

"I come to collect a data about a certain dimension."

"Oh? What is this be?"

"Seems to be a place the same as ours. I don't know yet. Perhaps we could tell to Shana. But I'm not a fool to enter the place since that wall of her and her warriors was very tough, considering that title that her nation holds was."

"What dimension is this again?"

"Called Gamindustri. I've got a glimpse of this when I'm traveling to the other worlds and dimensions."

"Care to describe?"

"I can only say that that place was overrun with monsters."

"Seems bad. How far this dimension was anyway."

"Five centuries to go if we go in foot. But if we use Teleporter, we could arrive there in a minute."

"Seems fine to me but..."

"Why?"

"I have a appointment for now."

"Ah, I understand. Well, it's fine because I will try to get more of the place before we go anyway."

"Good. Well, I hang out now. We can talk more later."

"Bye... Traks."

"Bye... Veliza."

The screen flickered and then disappeared in the darkness. A yawn could be heard as it echoes.

"It's time."
