Surprise...


" So you finally found out, ."

They all turned behind them as the giant sphere hologram disappeared and was replaced by the green haired boy, holding a purple LBX in hand.

Mizel: " that's right, I'm an android."

Jin on the other hand had his eyes fixed on the LBX in Mizel's hand.

Jin: " that's..."

Mizel: " but that's not the full answer, isn't it, Dr. Oozora? No, I suppose I should call you Mom?"

Hiro: " Mom?"

Haruka pursed her lips before revealing the shocking truth to everyone.

Haruka: " You're a Virus program created by Adam and Eve."

All the eyes there and on other screens glued to her as she gave her explanation on how, at their last moment as they learned to fear death, send a mass of data that accumulated together within Omega Dain's android to give birth to Mizel.

Haruka: " Mizel, you were created by Adam and Eve, in other words, I'm responsible for your birth."

Mizel gleefully confirmed that.

Mizel: " when I was first born, I was but the smallest existence on the world's surface. But now, all computers in the world are mine. No, the whole world is mine. And together with sis, there is no force in this universe that can take us down."

He said holding up the purple LBX.

Haruka: " sis... Don't tell me! That's actually Eva!?"

" Eh!"

He merely smirked before he was overwhelmed by a green aura which left behind a different version of him.

Mizel: " we're going to speed up the world optimization."

He moved as if he was placing his hand on something, declaring that he will be the rule which will protect the world since he can't leave it to humans.

Ban: " you can't just go around saying that!"

Mizel: " then let me ask. Why can't you stop fighting amongst yourselves? Why can't you stop hurting and hating each other? Humans are smart enough to know, what happens as a result of fighting. Despite that, why can't they stop?"

It seems they didn't have answers.

Hiro: " Th-That's..."

Mizel: " it just goes to show how futile humans are. They can't even accept the slightest difference."

The purple LBX held down its head.

Mizel: " it does hurt, isn't it?"

The robot merely looked away.

Bringing out pictures of their own history and even present, no one found his tongue to speak.

Mizel: " Humans will be happier in the system I... We create."

And with that, he faded away...


Mirai: " eh! EEEEEEEEEH!"

Haruka: " as you just heard, Mirai. The responsible for everything, is me."

She said looking down, a hand on her forehead. It was only natural for her head to hurt after all of that.

Mirai: " it's not that! What I mean is... We're typically siblings!"

Hiro: " well, you can say that. And since he called Eva sis doesn't it mean it goes the same way?"

Mirai: " that's really confusion..."

Her eyes were spiraling around as she tried to wrap her head around the whole thing.

Haruka: " I have to stop Mizel and take Eva back, it's my duty now."

Hiro placed a hand on her shoulder.

Hiro: " we will do it together, Mom."

He said with a confident smile which she returned with a soft one and a nod.

Mirai: " I really envy you, a mother and her son fighting together to save the world, that's very heartwarming. I wish I could be there with you."

She sighed before putting a confident expression and held a thumb up.

Mirai: " but I believe in you, as long as it's you two, I'm sure the world is in good hands. Do your best for me too!"

They nodded at her...


It was the day he got discharged, a few days after Yuuya was taken away. The nurses were making the final checks before he leaves.

" Very well Jin-kun. It seems that you're in a good health. Your grandfather will be around to take you soon, so stay still here until he comes."

She said patting his head and he nodded at her.

" It's quite surprising, he must be really lucky, no serious physical injuries and his psychic is quite fine as well."

One of the nurses whispered to her friend, but he could still hear them.

" Can you believe they actually found him under the ruins of the bridge! It's a miracle!"

" On the other hand we have that girl..."

" Ah, the one who was in comma for a few days."

" I've heard that she died for an instant there. And now she is only staring at the sky, with a very cold face...it's... Kinda creepy...''

" You shouldn't be saying that!"

He waited until they left the room and climbed down the bed. That room had around seven beds, all of which were separated by curtains.

All the five other beds were empty, but only one was still occupied. He walked over to it and saw a blonde girl staring out her window at the azure sky, white bandages rubbed around her head.

It wasn't his first time seeing her, he got a glimpse of her when she was rushed back and forth in the hospital in a desperate effort to save her life. Since then, he came to check on her twice, mostly out of curiosity.

The girl looked back when she felt him approaching and she had a small smile.

Eva: " it's finally the day you leave, I'm happy for you."

Jin: " wouldn't you feel lonely, now that everyone is gone?"

She shook her head.

Eva: " I'm fine."

Jin: " I see. Hope someone will come to get you soon."

She looked away when he said that.

Before he could open his mouth to apologize, the hand of the Kaidou's butler were placed gently on his shoulder.

" Here I found you. We should go now."

He nodded and turned back to the girl.

Jin: " bye."

Eva smiled and waved at him.

Eva: " bye."

Taking the hand of his new caretaker, he left the hospital, but not before glimpsing one last time from the corner of his eye, the blonde crying...

His eyes shot open at that and he ran his hand back through his hair, trying to take in his surrounding. Right, his room...

He sighed deeply. Now he understood why she felt familiar, he indeed, met her before...


Next Day...

..." We're here too!"

Everyone looked up at the door to see a certain three.

Gouda: " Riko! Ginji! Tetsuo! You came!"

Riko: " we can't stay still when the world is in trouble. We wanna help out too."

Gouda: " you guys..."

Sendou: " that adds three more to the pile."

Ota Red: " there's us too! The LBX battlers for love and justice! Ota Rangers!"

The five of them made their dramatic entry like usual.

Otacross: " you guys!"

" Am I interrupting something."

Most of them snapped when they heard that familiar voice. A second later, a girl with long brown hair that some of it was arranged in a side tail with a pink ribbon stepped in. She was wearing a pink vest over a white shirt, a grey skirt and black leggings with brown shoes. She had a sweet smile on her face.

Ban: " Elie!"

He ran to her, the ones who knew her following after him.

Ban: " Elie, what are you doing here?"

She had a wide grin.

Elie: " didn't I tell you all I will be discharged soon. Mom dropped me here and I've met dad already."

Ami clapped her hands togetther.

Ami: " good for you Elie!"

Kazu: " that's good news!"

Ban: " Elie."

He was more than happy, his eyes threatened to send tears but he managed to hold them back. After all those years with her fighting to live, she was finally out.

Elie smiled sweetly at her brother.

Elie: " we finally can play LBX together, Onii-chan."

Ban nodded, trying his best not to let his emotions carry him far away.

Asuka: " by the way, who is she? And why does she reassemble Ban?"

Ban turned to his friends.

Ban: " let me introduce her, everyone, my younger twin sister, Yamano Elie."

The brunette girl bowed.

Elie: " nice to meet you."

Ran: " ha! So Ban has a little sister!"

Sendou took a card out.

Sendou: " Hermit, Upright. A secret would be revealed."

Otacross: " Ban!"

He stormed to the brunette.

Otacross: " you didn't mention having a cute sister deyo~!"

Ban held his hands up between his and Otacross's face as he smiled nervously and sweat dropped.

Ran: " I doubt he would tell you. Any older brother wouldn't like someone to bother his younger sister."

Otacross: " that's rude, Ran-tan!"

Jessica: " but Ban's sister is really cute."

She walked to the girl who was blushing shyly.

Jessica: " don't be shy, everyone here is your friends."

Ran: " that's right. Except that Otacross guy, but if he ever bothers you, you can tell me to kick him for you."

Otacross: " you're rude, Ran-tan..."

He went to the corner and started crying.

Gouda: " it really feels different to see you in the real life and not on a tablet's screen."

Asuka: " Ban! How can you keep it a secret from us! We could have enjoyed some battles with her!"

Kirito: " even Yamano Ban is not the type to let everything out."

He said with a smirk.

Jessica: " maybe he is that type of overprotective older brothers."

She said with a smirk and a pointed look to which Ban sweat dropped.

Ban: " it's not like that... I only hadn't the chance to tell you about her..."

Asuka: " Jin and Yuuya too knew about her! That's not fair!"

Elie: " Um... Onii-chan..."

Ban looked behind only to see Ota Black kneeling in front of a confused Elie.

Ota Black: " Elie-chan, I knew it immediately since I saw you for the first time, that you're the most suitable girl for me..."

Ran blinked twice.

Ran: " what the-!"

Jessica: " ho! Someone is already flirting with your sister, Ban."

Ban didn't know why but he had that feeling of wanting to murder someone on the spot. Thankfully Ami saved him the effort when she spoke.

Ami: " Ara, but she is taken."

Ota Black: " what! Who is he! I'm ready to fight him in order to win Elie-chan's heart!"

She didn't mean it for real, just as someone who gets annoyed by the Ota rangers attitude and doesn't want poor Elie who was just discharged of the hospital to deal with them, she wanted to give him a reason to back off. But it didn't help at all that Kazu, Gouda and even Yuuya looked at Jin who just realized that many eyes were on him now.

Jin: " hold on-"

Ota Black stormed towards the black and white haired boy.

Ota Black: " so it's you! The one who stole my chance to get Elie-chan's heart! I challenge you to a battle in which the winner will get Elie-chan's heart!"

Ota Pink stormed to him too.

Ota Pink: " Jin-kun, it can't be that you seriously think about her!"

Otacross catching with them.

Otacross: " Jin! That's a betrayal!"

Jin merely grunted in annoyance while Yuuya and Ban sweat dropped as they felt sorry for their friend.

Kazu face palmed.

Kazu: " what have you done, Ami..."

Ami scratched her cheek with one finger while smiling awkwardly.

Ami: " I... didn't mean it to go that way..."

Yuuya and Ban were trying to snatch Jin away from the trio while Elie strolled over to the window with curious eyes.

Elie: " Onii-chan, everyone, you may want to look outside."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked next to her. Their eyes widened before rushing outside the building.

Outside, all their friends and LBX players were gathered there, even ones who fought against them once were there too. They were all ready to fight alongside Ban and the others.

Hiro: " that's great, Ban-san!"

Ban: " yeah!"

Elie: " everyone's love for LBXs is driving them fearlessly forward. I want to be like them too! Onii-chan! I want to be of help to you and everyone else!"

Ban gave her a soft smile and a nod before that everyone heard an explosion and saw a stream of smoke rising up.

Jin: " that's..."...


They all watched the crowd of Vectors that started to attack the city, destroying everything in their way.

As the group started to wonder how to fight them with only Achilles D9 and Odin MK-2 being able to seriously affect them, Yuki appeared on the screen and asked them to head to the R&D room.

When they reached there, they found the new Riding Saucer model and the Luminous Shooter arranged in front of them. They all exchanged nods, they can fight Vectors with that.

Ban: " Dad, I'm heading out!"

Jun'ichirou: " it's yours."

Ban: " yeah!"

Elie: " wait! I want to help too!"

Everyone turned to her.

Jin: " but you were just discharged."

Elie: " they discharged me after they were one thousand percent sure I can handle the outside world on my own, so I will be fine."

She rolled her eyes.

Jun'ichirou: " but, you never battled before-"

Ban: " nope, she did."

Ban gave his father a grin and Kazu placed his hands behind his head and smirked.

Kazu: " we eventually had to battle with her sometimes back in the hospital."

Yuuya: " I battled her too, she is strong."

Ami: " she is actually at the same level as us."

Ban: " she can take care of herself, Dad."

Jun'ichirou shifted his look between their faces before looking down at his daughter who had a determined looked then he sighed.

Jun'ichirou: " alright."

Her face brightened with a wide smile as she hugged her father.

Elie: " thanks dad."

He smiled softly at her before placing his hands on her back. The others exchanged smiles at that and Yuuki called for her.

Yuuki: " so Elie-san, you can borrow one of our LBXs here."

Ban: " I think I just know what's the best LBX for her."

He said as he walked to her and gave her a certain blue and white LBX.

Jun'ichirou: " Achilles?"

Jin: " you will give her Achilles."

Ban: " I let her use it when she would battle in the hospital so she is used to it."

Elie: " thanks Onii-chan."

Takuya: " very well, then Elie, you will be guarding Tiny Orbit with Jessica and the others."

Elie: " alright!"

Ban: " then let's go!"...


The enemies started approaching Tiny Orbit as the four of them stood in defense.

Elie: " they're here."

Yuuya: " just as expected."

Jin: " they probably want the data on Luminous Shooter, Achilles D9 and Odin MK-2."

Jessica: " we can't let them near!"

They held up their CCMs and Jeanne D shot one of them down, destroying it.

Jin: " let's go! Yuuya! Elie!"

Elie&Yuuya: " Roger!"

The three LBXs dashed and clashed with the Vectors.

One of them tried to Ghostjack Triton but it didn't work thanks to the special polymer cover.

Jin: " don't ever bother. Ghostjacking won't work."

Triton knocked the Vector away.

Jin: " Hissatsu Function!"

" Attack Function: Ocean Blast!"

The LBX aimed its whirlpool at the enemies.

Yuuya: " Hissatsu Function!"

" Attack Function: Byakko Shohazan!"

Liu Bei was overwhelmed by a white aura that formed the shape of a white tiger before charging at the Vectors and slashing through them.

Elie: " Hissatsu Function!"

" Attack Function: Lightening Lance!"

Achilles swayed its lanced around as it was charging before shooting a blue beam of energy at the other LBXs in front of it.

They were eventually having a hard time fighting the Vectors, but giving up wasn't an option.

Jeanne D had just shot another one when Takuya called them.

Takuya: " everyone! Be careful! All of the remaining Vectors are gathering there!"

Their eyes widened slightly at that, and eventually a massive number of the black LBXs approached them.

They tried their best to stand their ground while waiting for back up.

Jeanne D was knocked back, Achilles was surrounded while both Triton and Liu Bei malfunctioned.

Jin clicked his tongue before that both he and Yuuya got something from Dr. Yamano.

While Achilles and Jeanne D were pushed to the center with the Vectors surrounding them. Two LBXs came flying and pushed them away.

Elie: " those are..."

She looked at the LBXs and their weapons.

Jessica: " Ikaros Zero and Ikaros Force! Jin! Yuuya!"

They gave each a smile before using their attack Functions.

" Attack Function: Impact Kaiser!"

" Attack Function: Power Slash!"

Elie: " Hissatsu Function!"

She joined in.

" Attack Function: Cho Plasma Burst!"

The three attacks got rid of the Vectors that were surrounding both Achilles and Jeanne D.

Soon, another two LBXs appeared and everyone cheered at their sight.

Elie: " Onii-chan!"

Both Achilles D9 and Odin MK-2 managed to take care of the rest Vectors in a blink.

Hiro: " we made it!"

Ban: " yeah!"

They got a call confirming that the all Vectors in the city were eliminated and they all cheered. They did it, or so what they had thought...
