Episode 2
-SIGMA: Jolly-Winter-Holiday-
Haseo and Alkaid entered what appeared to be a winter wonderland... if it weren't for the blood-thirsty vampires, horrible werewolves, and flesh-eating zombies roaming the area, among other such monsters. ''Doesn't look too hard," said Alkaid. "We just gotta take out the monsters, and get the Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh Keys." A Battle Fence then appeared around the two when a group of zombies lurched toward them. Alkaid then took out the "Lit Honeysuckle" and started slashing at the zombies. "Damn! These things keep..." The zombie fell to the ground dead as it was shot in the back of the head by Haseo. "This is just like Resident Evil. JUSTICE!" cried Haseo as he slashed at a group of zombies with the blades on his guns, then fired at them repeatedly. "DOUBLE TRIGGER-JUDGEMENT!" With that cry, Haseo shot each zombie point-blank in the face, and unleashed one final burst, killing both of them. The usual victory theme sounded, although they were unable to gain any EXP, due to already being lv150. "Man, even at lv150, these enemies are tough" said Haseo. He then went over to the treasure chest and kicked it open.
-Obtained: "Gold Key" x1-
"Well, that's one key. Two more to go. Let's keep going, Alkaid. Alkaid?" Haseo looked over to find Alkaid was deep in thought. "Hey, Alkaid! Let's keep going!" shouted Haseo. "Oh! Yes, I'm coming!" Alkaid said as she snapped out of it. "You okay? You've been doing that a lot lately," asked Haseo. "No, I'm fine," replied Alkaid, "Now, let's go finish this mission!" "I can't believe I did it again," Alkaid thought to herself. Ever since Haseo awoke Alkaid and the other Lost Ones, her feelings for Haseo have intensified. "I mean... I know I care for him, but every time I use these swords..."

"The honeysuckle is a sign of... Eternal Devotion" said Haseo. "Whaaa..." squealed Alkaid as her face turned as red as her hair.

"And then, when he hugged me at Arche Kolen Falls..." She was snapped from her thoughts as the battle music began. She and Haseo were now surrounded by a small pack of werewolves. Haseo quickly switched to Azure Kite's dual-swords, the "Empty Skies" and started attacking the werewolves, as Alkaid quickly backed him up. After landing a string of combos on the werewolves, two of them became surrounded by blue and green rings. "Let's do it, Haseo!" cried Alkaid. "RENGEKI! GHOST FALCON!" The two of them kicked a slashed upwards, each sending a werewolf into the air, did a back flip into the air, slash repeatedly, and slam the werewolves into the ground. "This is the end! DOUBLE TRIGGER-JUDGEMENT!" shouted Haseo as he switched back to his dual-guns and fired upon the werewolves, killing them both. The two of them made quick work of the final werewolf, and obtained the Frankincense Key from the treasure chest. "One more key," said Alkaid. "That's right," said Haseo, "Then we can get to the Boss." "...Haseo..." whispered Alkaid. "What is it?" he asked. "...It's nothing. Let's keep going," said Alkaid as she hurried past Haseo to the next group of monsters. "She's been like that for a while," thought Haseo. "I'll ask her what's wrong after we complete this quest." He followed after Alkaid, the final group of monsters waiting up ahead.
