Disclaimer: It's obvious I don't have Tales of Xillia, because it was properties of Bandai Namco.

It's the next chapter of fuuuuuuun~ yeah, like it would happen. I'm going to solve a few unsolved thing first as it will be the opening for my fingers torture (my fingers through a hell since I'm typing non-stop). Okay, without any further talk, I present you chapter 3~

Note: Do you already understand now why I use that misleading title? #wink Oh and since I'm that impatient, this is also the Draft version of the story.

Milla POV

I was sending the last batch of the newborn spirit when I felt Undine's presence approaching me. I glanced to the back and indeed, Undine is approaching me with the other behind her. I stood up and asked, "How was Muzét's doing? Did you two find Gaius and managed to save him as well?" demanding a report from her.

Undine nodded although I could barely see that nods before she said with a reassuring calm tone, "Right now Muzét is sleeping in her own room. The search is long and tedious one so her fatigue takes its toll on her. We managed to secure Gaius and he is now sleeping in the basement different from Jude."

I placed a hands of my chest as I gripped my and Jude's… no, our pendant. It was reassuring to hear that we managed to save an important person of my sister. With this, there was nothing for me to do anymore except waiting and staying alive… and maybe protecting the live of human and spirit…

I only figured those three things but I felt that there was this nagging feeling inside my heart, as if I was forgetting something. And it made me felt that this kind of situation was wrong. I brushed it off obviously and then looked at the Four before saying, "Very well. Anyway, I want you all except Undine to look for the clue for Jude's research and also any of his books. It's the least I can do to help his research… I'm sure Jude will approve it. I will stay on guard in the Spirit World as Undine healed the two and maybe Muzét as well."

Sylph quickly snorted and voiced his disapproval by saying, "I'm not going anywhere and is every one of us. We'll stay by your side and not leave that place anytime soon even when you want us to disappear, Milla," with both of his hands crossed in front of his chest.

I sighed after hearing that before saying, "I can't force you all if you don't want to. Then I will be the one who look for it. Take care of the Spirit World in my stead in the mean time, I won't take long," I replied as I turned on my heels and readied myself to open a portal to the human world.

"W-wait, Milla you shouldn't do reckless thing like that!" Efreet said as he had his hands on my shoulders. It was obvious that he wanted to stop me.

"You guys don't want to look for Jude's research material… yet you don't let me do it myself… I only want to help Jude yet why you all tried to stop me?" I said as my fist curled up as I shrugged his hands off my shoulders. I'm not used to get mad at the Four since they are my close friend and close enough to be my family. But this one time, I didn't intend on backing down.

I could practically see Gnome become sad as he said, "It's not our intention…" he said with a low volume like he was regretting.

"And then what is your intention? My intention is clear. I want to be of power to Jude. We promised each other… that we will create a world where human and spirits co-exist together in harmony. I'm not going to change that anytime soon! I promised Jude… we promised… we promised him… yet why you all don't understand?" I asked as I half scolded them all. I don't know why but I feel frustrated over this. I felt tears welling up on my eyes as well as I tried to question why even they betrayed me.

"Well, that's…" Sylph said as he sounded like he wanted to explain their reason but couldn't find the right word. He looked to the side with a sad face that only made me mad this time.

"Milla… it is not safe for us to get out from this realm just yet. We didn't know whether the person who attacked us will attack us again or not if he met us. That person is capable of fending off every one of us so we believe we shouldn't do anything like venturing out just yet since we might just pass by that person and… we barely escape death by losing a portion of our memory, but what about later? We couldn't gamble on anything we couldn't hope to win, my dear," Undine explained with a calm tone it touched my nerves.

My curled up fist become loose when I heard Undine's explanation. It is a sound opinion and is true depending on the situation. If even I went into sleep then what will happen to mine and Jude's dreamed world? Now that Jude is still sleeping, there is no one but me to continue his job. And with that person outside, I need to be even more careful than now since he might just hunt me down this very second. He must know that I'm a spirit and all… so he must know that I'm still alive somewhere.

I nodded as I understand what they wished since I knew that they only wished for my safety. It is really frustrating but the fact that I was beaten is true. If I wanted to help Jude then I need to eliminate that person first. But what kind of power that managed to make even me, the Lord of Spirit, couldn't lay a finger on that person? Just what the hell happened? Should I really kill that person just for my safety?

It was then I reminded about what I just thought.

"Kill… I?" I mumbled my own thought in disbelief. I couldn't believe on what I just thought of.

Eliminating that person… then it meant I must kill that person… Jude won't like it… he hates killing and he hates war… we never killed person before. Will Jude approve of it if I do that for him… for everyone? But was it for myself?

When I opened my eyes, there is only white in front of me and I was facing Jude. He was on the floor with the pool of blood below him slowly growing bigger and bigger. I was shocked very much on this scenery and screamed as tears slowly pouring down from my eyes. It is a lie… there is no way Jude will die… he promised me… he promised me…

"No… no…" I tried to cover my ears, my eyes, hoping that I couldn't see this scenery right now. This is a lie… there is no way it would be true… I saved Jude… Jude is just sleeping… he is alive…

To pour salt into my freshly open wound, I heard a stabbing voice and I quickly opened my eyes. There is him in front of me, stabbing Jude like it was natural. I couldn't see who is it but he is the one who did everything. He is the one who destroyed the peaceful day I protected so much. It was because of him… everything is because of him… I want to kill him…

The Four voices calling me sounded like a buzz that I can't comprehend of. My legs gave up on being my support as the thought swirled up like a nightmare. That person killed everyone… I want to kill him… I want to kill him… I want to… but Jude won't do that… Jude won't like it… if Jude knows then he will hate me… I don't want that… yet I can't forgive that person… My head hurts… it felt like it was splitting up… Jude… please save me…

I don't want to kill… Jude… what should I do… I don't want to be hated by you…

My consciousness slowly slipping down from my fingertips as my thought swirled around uncontrollably. And when I didn't realize, I couldn't see anything as everything went dark.

I must… kill him…

3rd Person POV

"Milla!" the Four shouted almost in synch when they saw Milla collapsed in front of their eyes. They all managed to get a grip of Milla's body as they all could see clearly how Milla is suffering in front of their eyes.

Her breathing is rapid as she clutched her chest tightly. They could hear she mumbled something though couldn't make any sense out of it. Gnome said in panic, "We need to bring her back… Milla must rest or she will crumble down! Milla, hang in there!"

"Yeah, that's the best course of action right now. Sylph you are the fastest from all of us, bring Milla into safety as soon as you can," Efreet said as he said a command to Sylph who supported Milla's body alongside Undine.

"There is no need to tell me that twice. Get back from her, Undine!" Sylph said half-shouted to Undine so the Greater Spirit of Water would back off.

Undine quickly let go of her hands from Milla and Sylph carried Milla (using Wind Artes of course) and they disappeared in a blink of eyes. There is no way he could bear seeing Milla suffer in front of him. Milla is his friend, his family. Even at the time they lied to her once she always accepted them with open arms, forgiving them despite all that. Not in the hell he would let his dear Milla crumbled in front of him.

The Three Great Spirits let out a relieved sigh and looked at each other. The silence between them is broken by Undine who said, "I hate to say this but… we can't just sit idly with the fact that our killer is out there. I don't want to see Milla crumbled down like that anymore!" with anger deep in her tone and her fist clenched up tightly to contain her anger.

"So you suggest us to kill that person instead of Milla herself? What chance do we have since we also weakened from that sudden leapt? It's good enough that we escaped with only our memories jumbled. Believe me this once, I want to kill that man very much as well," Efreet replied with pure anger that his fire felt cold although it was blazing brightly.

"That person hurt our precious comrade… that person hurt our precious Milla… I believe those were enough reason to hunt down that man until his dying breath… except that we had no power to oppose him when the time come like what Efreet had said," Gnome said with downcast eyes though it had the glint of anger.

They all become quiet once more when Undine then says, "We shouldn't talk about it here. Right now Milla's safety is our top priority. What we'll do after that come later," Undine said with a serious expression to Gnome and Efreet.

Gnome and Efreet nodded and voiced an approval. They then flew to Milla's place as fast as they could. They didn't notice the watchful gaze of another Great Spirit which had been watching them since the start from the sideline. Its wings glows brightly and its eyes sharpened at the sight.

"I shall tell Chronos about this turn of events…"

Yes my dear reader, Milla was freaking out about this whole ordeal. I don't know did they killed anyone from Exodus but I thought of it as different case considering the situation but I never think that Milla actually wished to kill (or murder) anyone consciously. If you just noticed, the Four have a big role as well in here, being Milla's remaining mental support and all. Anyway since you just read the whole author note why don't you give me some review as well? Oh and yeah, you had brought yourself a one-way ticket to hell, proceed on your own conscience.
