"Tsukasa...What..." Mimiru stood transfixed between the Multi-Weapon and her friend.

"I'll explain later, just please go!" Tsukasa shouted as the monster above her launched another attack towards BlueRose. The attack shattered as BlueRose quickly drew and swung a large sword from his back.

Looking up, BlueRose noticed Mimiru.

"You look like the other one..." he grinned and lifted the sword, resting the blade upon his spiked shoulders. Mimiru looked at the sword, which seemed hauntingly similar to hers. Remembering Tsukasa, she ran to the side, exiting the battle range, and warped out of the field.

Tsukasa watched Mimiru as she disappeared and then turned her eyes on BlueRose.

"I knew I recognized that sword," he sighed. "You ate BlackRose, didn't you?"

"She was trying to keep me from reaching the Door," BlueRose shrugged.

"That doesn't give you the right to take her character!" Tsukasa growled at him. "Helba didn't teach you to behave like this!"

"Ah, yes. You and Mother always knew what was right and wrong," BlueRose smirked. "It's too bad you never really got to know me for what I was meant to be."

"And what do you think you were meant to be?" Tsukasa was having trouble concealing the rage in her voice.

BlueRose laughed and lifted the sword above his head. It flashed with a bright light and changed into his Gatling gun. Before Tsukasa could react, he pointed his gun at the monster and fired, shattering the monster's body in only a few shots. Tsukasa cursed to herself and drew her staff close to her body as she stepped back.

"I'm perfection," BlueRose's eyes glowed brightly as dropped the gun and drew two large chainswords from his back.

"There is no such thing as perfection," Tsukasa was cornered against the bed.

BlueRose merely continued to grin at his father and advanced, lifting his swords above his head.

ERROR 19

k1t3 pushed the doors of the cathedral open. It was empty. He and Mia entered and walked towards the pulpit at the front. k1t3 halted before the smashed remains of the Door.

"Huh... I wonder what this is, or was, at least," k1t3 leaned down and lifted one piece of the door. A small pulse ran from the piece up his arm.

"Oh... This is special," he smiled and placed the piece in his inventory.

"I guess he isn't here," Mia sighed. "Are you sure this is the right place?"

"No," k1t3 looked up at her. "I just had a feeling he'd be in this place. I guess I was wrong."

The sunlight shined through the large windows at the front of the cathedral. The way the light landed on k1t3 caught Mia's attention. His character, other than it's similarity to Kite, seemed familiar to her.

"Well, since he isn't here," k1t3 said, beaming at Mia, "do you know where I could find some Aromatic Grass?"

ERROR 20

"With Helba gone I've been put in charge of managing Net Slum."

Azure Kite, Kite, and Haseo walked through the rubble and garbage that made up one of The World's largest hidden zones. Net Slum was a popular area for hackers and was also Helba's main base of operations.

"Most of the job just involves keeping unauthorized hackers from getting in and messing around with stuff," Azure Kite continued.

"The place already looks messed up," Haseo grimaced as he took in his bleak surroundings.

Azure Kite ignored Haseo and pointed out a spot ahead.

"That is where BlueRose was born."

The spot was immediately noticeable. It was like an spherical space had just been disintegrated. The spherical area had created a small crater in the ground as well as taking out a small portion of one of the large skyscrapers that were sparsely located throughout Net Slum.

Azure Kite continued moving past the spot and entered the building. Kite and Haseo rushed to catch up with him as he moved up a flight of stairs. Eventually, they reached the top floor of the building. The floor was completely empty. The walls were windows that looked out over all of Net Slum. The floor and ceiling were simply flat, gray surfaces.

Azure Kite raised his hand and closed his eyes.

In the middle of the floor and blue flame appeared and slowly formed into the shape of a door.

"This is our destination," Azure Kite said, opening his eyes.

He moved forward quickly and passed through the door. Haseo and Kite glanced at each other, shrugged, and followed him. The building disappeared and in its place was a blank white space that seemed to stretch out into eternity.

Azure Kite stood a few feet away from Haseo and Kite. He slowly kneeled down on one knee and bowed his head. A pulse ran through the floor as the sound of bells echoed all around them. Slowly, a figure formed out of thin air before them. Her long, white hair flowed around her. She floated a few feet above the ground and looked down at her Knight, smiling.

"I see that you failed to protect my door," Aura laughed as Azure Kite grunted and looked up angrily at Haseo.
