Underneath the Old Cathedral.

Two girls dressed in white sailor uniforms with Trinity's logo ventured a familiar underground passageway. It remained dilapidated and grey but still nostalgic. The blue haired and baseball capped student stopped briefly to touch one of the pillars holding the high ceiling. Her lavender haired partner spun around, free of her mask and plainly looking at the girl.

"... Distraction." She spoke softly, her voice almost obscured by the wind itself.

"Yeah…" The blue haired girl looked ahead. "We might never see this place again, princess."

"Atsuko, Saori." They were equals, not servant and master.

"You'll always be princess to me." Saori continued walking. "Let's hurry and see what this disturbance is all about."

It felt like last time except there weren't any justina aberrations trying to stop them. And thankfully Atsuko was by her side this time. Upon hearing gunshots in the distance, they quickened their pace.

After climbing a ladder, they arrived near the most holy place and joined up with the other half of their squad who took the entrance route.

"What's going on? Why are there Millennium students gathered here?" Hiyori, a blue haired girl said. She remained the same, with her hair in a side ponytail and the cap tilted downwards to hide her face.

"Clearly to fight that. Seems like we arrived too late." Saori set her eyes on a towering cloaked figure, thin like a skeleton under its blue robes. Or grey rode? It was difficult to tell since this boss figure had lacked any natural color. It wielded a whitish spear in both hands, jabbing at the students locked in a battle with him.

Asuna, Akane and Eimi had the battle already taken care of, and with a bullet piercing the wall from outside, this boss fell and dissipated into dust and particles.

Still something was off. The magic circle that was beneath the figure remained despite being defeated. The three students didn't seem to notice, turning their backs to it and approaching Saori's squad.

"You shouldn't be here, it's dangerous." Eimi calmly remarked. Her eyes were then drawn to the armband the squad wore reading "S.C.H.A.L.E" which caused her brows to knot.

"I can say the same to you. This palace isn't under your jurisdiction." Saori responded.

Asuna stepped closer to Saori and poked her cheek. "What are you gonna do? Arrest us? We just saved this building from crumbling down while you were fashionably late."

"Forget it. We have orders. Let's go." Eimi holstered her shotgun. "If they attempt to stop us then we'll subdue them."

"Hm…" Hiyori shot her a glare, though nervous, she grew bravery similar to Hifumi.

Suddenly the magic circle glowed bright, flashing the room for a second. Standing in the former boss' place was another cloaked figure, smaller this time and without a hood covering its metallic face. This figure's pauldrons were massive, compromising most of its body, and wires were attached to the shoulders, extending all the way to the floor.

"Another Hieronymus?" Eimi said in the silence.

Asuna pulled the side lever on her rifle. "Alright, round two!"

Akane smirked, pointing her pistol. "Eimi, call in the guard bots. Just to be safe."

Both girls ran forward to get within firing range, however with a simple gesture of this figure's arm both girls came to a skidding halt finding themselves enraptured by fear and hesitation to unleash fire. Then from above, two bullets shot and pierced their heads, breaking their halo completely and killing both maids in one hit.

Saori's eyes widened and darted upwards, laying eyes on a white haired woman standing upside down on the ceiling. She didn't wear a uniform, instead a long flowing black dress that exposed her deep cleavage. The skirt had a slit that exposed her thigh and holster. Above her head was a black halo which was cracked yet she wasn't injured and clearly she wasn't dead.

She defied gravity itself, having control over kicking herself down and flipping to land. The pistol she wielded to kill both students flashed and changed forms, switching into a black Beretta 223. Written on the side of the rifle was "A.R.M" an unknown acronym never seen in Kivotos before.

"What the hell…" Saori was the first to mutter out.

But the duo weren't alone, no not at all. Stepping from behind the cloaked figure were two more women. One with blue hair and long twin tails held by hollow squares. She was dressed like an office woman–a buttoned black blouse and white pencil skirt. What was menacing about her was her long belted trench coat. Saori could see SMGs tucked in the coat's pockets as well as holstered on both thighs and one around her waist.

The other woman was blonde and wore a more scantily clad variation of the Tea Party's uniform. Like the white haired woman, her dress' slit slit exposed her thigh and the center opening exposed her cleavage to the air. Her caplet was more of a cape and stretched to the ground similar to the figure standing between them.

A sweat dropped down Misaki's forehead. "What are we going to do?"

"I don't know." was Saori's answer.

Left in this standoff against a powerful alien foe.

The cloaked figure spoke with a mixed human and robotic voice. "Commence, Sabotage: Final."
