[ Historical Museum, Southern Vaizen / September 22, 0078 11:20 ]

With all the commotion on the streets surrounding the Museum, nobody paid any attention to a shapely short-haired woman and a large muscular man floating just above its main dome.

When a golden flash approached them from the street level and came to a sudden halt a few steps away, the woman reached for her sword.

"Signum, Zafira, please hear me out!" Fate raised her hands to show they were empty.

"Testarossa," Signum nodded.

"The Cradle has just deployed the Gadgets," Fate informed them. "And the Navy isn't here yet!"

"I have noticed that much."

"You 'noticed'?" Fate's voice choked with anger. "And did you also notice that innocent people are dying down below because of you?"

"What is your point, Testarossa?"

Fate gave her a long disbelieving look. Down on the streets, cries of fear and pain grew louder.

"I am going back down to help them. Unlike the two of you, I still have my honor."

That hit home.

"What about Vivio?" Signum finally asked.

"I am the fastest woman alive," Fate smiled proudly. "I will save all of them."

Signum took her hand off Laevatein's hilt.

"Then we will help."
