Awakening

HDMS Fortress, on orbit of earth

"So... she is safe?" Said Fleetmaster Lindy Harlaown.

"we stabilized her magical power, and implanted her with artificial organics and limbs. It will give her much more resistance to influence of BoD." Said Inquisitor Erasmus. "However, there are one last thing to do."

"What is that?"

"A failsafe, Fleetmaster. But it can't stop the inevitable awakening."

"What kind of failsafe? Mind-wipe?" asked Harlaown.

"Well... no, not mind-wipe. We found more... civilized way."

Harlaown were actually surprised by that word. "What is that?"

"You adopt her as your daughter." Said Erasmus, almost smiling.

"Oh... Well. I will adopt her." Harlaown seem to love that idea. "I think Chrono is going to love this... by the way, Have you gathered much information about TSAB?"

"Yes, Fleetmaster. For what I acquired from mind-scanning the prisoners we captured on Terra, this TSAB, or Time-Space Administration Bureau can posed significant threat to our expedition fleet. However, there technologies are inferior to us. They archived tech-levels of Unification war era only recently, but even through there techs are inferior, they still possessed almost ten thousand ships. And have significant influence on Inner colonies."

"Fortunately, they ignored most of other planet because there lacks of magical technologies. They called this planets as Non-Administration Worlds. Terra is one of them and there are hundreds more."

"However, lack of communication from there agents on Terra might caused them to send fleet to investigate. It will blow our cover, and can jeopardize our entire operations."

"However, they may trying to communicate us, and make diplomacy with us. But we must prepare the worst."

"So, we must reinforce our fleet with more battleship. I already sent message to Inquisitorial conclave and told them to send more ships. They will reinforce the fleet with one battlegroup, consisting heavy cruisers, dreadnought, frigates and destroyers. If the situation goes hell, Elements of thirteenth fleet and another Inquisitorial task force will dispatch."

"Thanks for information, Inquisitor." said Harlaown. "I hoped that this situation can solved peacefully. I know that we will face another domination invasion very soon. And I don't want to waste our resource in this universe."

"I hoped that, too."

Earth

June 30

June 30 was a day that all things are started. Even through that scientist of expedition fleet work with no sleep and without rest, they can't stop the awakening of BoD.

Fleetmaster Harlaown and Inquisitor Erasmus, who expect this, are ordered full alert to fleet and installed Thirty AMF all over Uminari and negotiated Japanese government for put Uminari into direct control of Imperial Military administration. Although this caused uproar from citizens of Uminari, it was quickly silenced. On night, almost entire

In the House of Hayate, Lindy Harlaown and Erasmus are with Hayate. Unknown to hayate, Harlaown and Erasmus ordered the entire platoon of Knights to circled the house. They also hide there devices in the house for emergency.

Hayate are nervous, although her new mother and men named Erasmus are with her, she felt that they are hiding something. And there face are grim.

"What happened? Why you look so grim?" she asked.

Harlaown smiled. "It's all okay, my girl. Sleep well."

Hayate tried to tell more words, however, something are begin to happen

The old books are begin to vibrating and glowing brightly. then sudden flash blind her eye...

"GET DOWN!" Was the only thing Erasmus can said. He and lindy are crouched for cover and draw there device which they hide under the bed. Lindy gave telepathic order to activate AMF and aim her device at four figures. She knows that they are Wolkenritters, a defense program of BoD.

Teleport, NOW! Erasmus give telepathic order to ship. Then, all except for hayate(who are unconscious)are disappeared in light.

In the hanger of the Fortress, Almost hundred knights are nervously watching the center of hanger. And waiting for the incoming enemies. Suddenly, six mans are appeared on the center of hanger and all of knights are aim there device(Middchildan)or move closer to them(Belkan).

Inquisitor Erasmus, while he point the edge of his blade device to red haired woman's neck, cried:"I am Inquisitor Erasmus of Second Belkan Imperium! You are ordered to lay down your weapons and SURRENDER!"

Signum is very confused about this situation. She heard the voice that told them to surrender. What gave her concern is that he told that he was form Second Belkan Imperium, which she never know.

However she found that hundreds of magic-users are pointing there weapons to them and one robed men are pointing his blade at her neck. She trying to activate her device, Levantine, but strangely, it didn't respond to her call. Other Wolkenritters are reports similar problem.

"Surrender now." said the men.

"Never!" Signum tries to assault him with her fist, however, when her fist almost reaches the nose of men, unearthly screaming are flooded to her mind, made her to collapse on floor with other Wolkenritters.

"Well, well. It seems that you are defeated." said the men, while kicked the signum hard. She tried to grab his foot. but then, the screaming are even more louder and sinister. He take off his robe, and revealed his face.

Red, bloody eyes. The eyes of murderer. The eyes of true monster which made everyone(including most of knights except for Fleetmaster, some veteran knights and Wolkenritters)feels chill in there spine. But what make them more disturbed is his skin which almost pale as dead men.

"Knights, stun them. And take them to interrogation room." said the Erasmus.

Hayate Yagami are awoke and find that she is not in her bed. She was in the hospital. She blinked her eye and found Lindy Harlaown and Chrono Harlaown.

"What...what happened mom? I saw the lights and... why am I here?"

Both Harlaown are smiled. "It will be take some time to explain." said Chrono Harlaown.

"From the information from Wolkenritters, it seems that TSAB are aware about BoD." Said Erasmus. "They will on the move, sooner or later."

"Then, we must fortifying the jump points and Terra." said Lindy Harlaown. "And I want to scout the near systems so we can know where they are and where they coming."

"It won't be a problem. we have ten deep space probes. And there sensors are incapable to detect our ships."

"Very well. Now, we must prepare for coming storm."

P.S Sorry for being late. My computers was out of order.
