Mizel O-Legion...
They did it, or so what they had thought...
Ban and Hiro ran off to the four of them.
Hiro: " Guys!"
Elie: " Onii-chan!"
Jessica: " Ban! Hiro!"
Ban: " we were able to protect Tokio City thanks to everyone's help."
Jin: " yeah, that's great!"
Ban: " Elie too, you did well!"
The brunette blushed.
Jessica: " your lil' sis is pretty strong, Ban."
" You humans really want to get in my way."
Elie: " this voice..."
Hiro's eyes widened as he looked up.
Hiro: " that's..."
Ban: " Mizel Trouzer!"
Mizel: " you're bugs that have broken out of the Perfect World. Bugs need to be eliminated immediately."
Mizel Trouzer launched its lance, when it hit the ground, it caused a strong explosion.
Ban: " watch out!"
He quickly covered his sister who hugged him tightly. There was a burst of air that followed the explosion and a bright light.
When it all faded, Ban turned around and sighed in relied when he saw everyone were fine.
Ban: " are you alright!"
He looked down at his sister who had her eyes wide in fear.
Elie: " the city..."
He looked back and their eyes widened when they saw what was left of Tokio City.
Sadly LBXs can't express feelings, because if they were, Twilight should have its eyes wide in fear at what just happened in front of it.
Inspecting the damage done to the city, and possibly thinking of how many poor souls could have been taken, Eva started to have second thoughts. Is that what she wanted? It that who she really is? They may not accept her, nor welcome her as a human, but was she really willing to erase them just like that?
Ban: " Everyone?!"
Takuya: " we've confirmed everyone are fine."
They sighed in relief before O-Legion took over their screens, but it wasn't the one they were familiar with.
Mizel: " to all mankind."
Mizel's voice came out.
Mizel: " Surrender to me."
Takuya:" surrender?!"
Mizel: " 24 hours... I will give you 24 hours. That's the longest I will defer. However, if you do not surrender within that time limit, I'll force reset the Earth along with all humans. You know very well why Mizel Trouzer hasn't attacked yet, right? Seto 50 is inside it. If you make any strange movement, it can destroy everything in one moment."
Jun'ichirou: " no way..."
Haruka: " Mizel is O-Legion..."
Mizel: " yes, I'm this LBX. Mizel O-Legion."
Their eyes widened as they looked down at their CCMs' screens.
Mizel: " I anticipate mankind's prudent decision."
And he disappeared from the screens...
He turned around to face the other LBX.
Mizel: " why are you quiet? I thought you would be happy. This way, these people will learn to accept you, even if by force."
Was that what she wanted? She couldn't bring herself to agree.
Mizel: " sis, as of tomorrow, we shall both rule this world and set a perfect system for all of it. A system within which, everyone will be happy to follow the rules."...
As they held the meeting, it seemed like if there was no hope, seeing the situation at hand. Even with Kirishima's suggestion to use the Grand Sphere, it was still practically impossible to gather the needed 10,000 LBXs.
Ban then narrowed his eyes in determination before walking to Otacross, asking him to hack through the Infinity Net.
Otacross: " what!?"
Ban: " I want to call out to everyone in the world."
Elie: " Onii-chan?"
The old man smirked as he got what Ban wanted to do.
Otacross: " Sure, leave it to me deyo~! I've always wanted to hack the entire world all at once deyo~!"
He said as he typed away on the keyboard before turning to the brunette.
Otacross: " ok deyo~!"
The screens all around the world changed so that they were showing Ban.
Ban: " to LBX players all around the world. I'm Yamano Ban. Please listen to what I have to say. There's a huge crisis happening in Tokio City right now. Mizel is threatening to destroy our city with his massive power. Using the LBXs we love..."
In Paris, a certain young lady with blue hair that was arranged in two ponytails was watching the huge screen in the her classroom. Everyone around her seemed to be surprised since their lesson was suddenly interrupted.
Mirai: " what's happening..."
Ban: " at this rate, LBXs will become the very demon that destroys humankind. I can't let that happen no matter what."
Hiro joined in.
Hiro: " everyone in the world. I'm Oozora Hiro."
The students within Mirai's class snapped.
" Eh!"
" Oozora?"
" Could it be, Oozora's lil' brother that you mentioned?"
Mirai: " yep, that's him..."
She smiled softly at the image of her brother on the screen.
Mirai: " my lil' bro grew up and became a hero."
Hiro: " we want to defeat Mizel and bring back the LBXs as things that give people dreams and fun! Because, LBXs are important friends to us!"
Ban: " come to Tokio City and help us! We need as many LBXs as possible. If we don't stop Mizel now, the rest of the world will face the same thing Tokio City is facing now. Please help us! Everyone who loves LBXs, we need your power!"
The image switched again to Mizel Trouzer.
Otacross: " that's my limit deyo~."
Ban: " thank you, Otacross."
Hiro: " I hope our feelings got across."...
Next day...
Elie: " as I thought, Onii-chan, you're waiting here."
Ban: " Elie..."
He looked up at her as she approached him with a wide bright smile on her face. He was waiting outside to see if what he did will pay off.
Elie: " you're still worried that they won't answer to your call?"
He sighed as he stood up. He looked at the rising sun for a second before that his face fell and turned back.
Ban: " let's go inside."
As he was about to leave, losing all hope, he heard footsteps approaching them and they looked back to see a boy who came running to them.
Boy: " I saw what happened yesterday! Let me fight with you!"
He took out his LBX.
Boy: " I love LBXs too."
Elie had a soft smile and Ban's eyes slightly widened before that he smiled too.
Ban: " thank you!"
His eyes widened even more when a whole lot people walked to them.
Elie let a satisfied smile.
Elie: " People of all different ages and origins, they're all coming together to fight for LBXs, all because their love for LBXs is true."
Ban: " you all."...
They started their briefing shortly after that. It was decided that they would first paralyze Mizel Trouzer by destroying its joint parts for both arms and legs.
As Takuya announced the groups, Elie blinked twice.
Elie: " eh! What about me?"
Takuya: " you will be on standby for any emergencies with Gouda and Sendou."
Her brother along with Hiro and Ran were supposed to move to fight Mizel after the others would finish their mission.
Haruka: " needless to say that it's important to have Eva back."
They all nodded at her words.
The Duck Shuttle flew off to where Mizel Trouzer was and landed on the remains of a bridge a few kilometers away from it. As soon as they landed, Jin and the others ran to their control pods. Soon after that, Elie blinked when her father left the cockpit with a suitcase in his hand. She frowned at that and turned to both Sendou and Gouda.
They proceeded with the plan and managed to capture the huge robot within the Grand Sphere. The Attack team got in before that the Sphere was completed.
Mizel Trouzer tried throwing its lance at the blue barrier, but it didn't get through. Soon, Vectors started attacking.
The Attack team infiltrated successfully into the robot, but they were dragged into a fight against Killer Droids and LBXs.
Soon after that, the LBXs outside strated malfunctioning and the Grand Sphere was getting dismantled.
As soon as they learned that the control pods can be used through the blocking waves Mizel was emitting, Ban attempted to go help with Hiro and Ran. But before they had the chance, his father managed to stop the jamming.
Ban: " Dad, so yesterday, you were..."
Jun'ichirou: " yeah. Grand Sphere requires a massive amount of LBXs. I figured there was a high chance that Mizel would put a jamming system on the CCM waves. That's why I made this."
Ban: " but, why did you go so far?"
Jun'ichirou: " this equipment doesn't have an effect unless it's close to the jamming source. And to completely offset the jamming, there are adjustments I have to make here directly."
Ban: " but...!"
Jun'ichirou: " I told you Ban! You have to believe in what you have to do."
Three Vectors came after him, his eyes widened as they pointed their guns at him.
Ban: " Dad!"
Elie: " I'm not letting you touch him!"
" Attack Function: Lightening Lance!"
A blue beam as well as a shot from Hakai-O Dogoma destroyed them.
Jun'ichirou: " Elie! You guys!"
Elie: " you're careless Dad! You could have asked for LBXs to protect you!"
Gouda: " you should be thankful she noticed when you went out and got us to help."
Sendou: " hm, I didn't want to come but your daughter dragged me. It appears she was right after all."
Ban: " Elie!"
Hiro: " Gouda-san! Sendou-san!"
Elie along with Gouda and Sendou appeared on the screen.
Gouda: " we borrowed your control pods."
Elie: " we should have told you before, sorry. You're not angry, right, Onii-chan?"
Ban shook his head.
Ban: " nope, thanks Elie."
The LBXs went over to .
Sendou: " we'll escort you. Come back to the Duck Shuttle."
Jun'ichirou: " thanks."
And they headed back. When they were sure he was out of the Grand Sphere, they caught up with the attack team.
Elie: " I will head to the left arm, you head to the right arm!"
Sendou: " in natural condition I would have said ' who gave you the right to order me? ' but right now I think I have to say roger."
Gouda: " you got it."
She smiled before they parted ways, she caught up with Jin and Yuuya and was soon absorbed in the Killer Droid's field.
Jin: " Achilles?"
Yuuya: " Elie-kun!"
Elie: " you need to finish this off to break the joint, right? Then let's go, Yuuya!"
Yuuya understood what she meant.
Elie&Yuuya: " Hissatsu Function!"
" Attack Function: Byakko Shohazan!"
" Attack Function: Cho Plasma Burst!"
They both aimed at the wires at the back of the legs and Jin had the chance to finish it off with his Ocean Blast.
He waited until everyone finished their fights.
Jin: " all right, destroy the interior!"
Everyone: " Roger!"
They quickly saw smoke rising up from Mizel Trouzer's parts before that the robot kneeled down.
But as soon as they flew their LBXs back, the control pod's management system was affect by a Vector. As a result, they couldn't open their control pods.
Jessica: " I can't operate my LBX!"
Yuuya: " the hatch won't open!"
Gouda: " this pod won't move either."
Asuka: " what's going on! I can't get out!"
Elie: " we're enclosed in here!"
Surprisingly Jin was very calm. Takuya told them to wait as Otacross and the others were heading to fix the system while Ban, Hiro and Ran rushed out to face Mizel...
While being held within the control pods and with the professors doing their best to fixe the system, they took their CCMs so that they can watch the battle airing to the whole world by Mizel.
Jin: " Ban-kun, you're the only ones left. It's in your hands."
Elie: " Here I'm again, only watching as you put your life on the edge for everyone..."...
In Paris, the blunette girl held her hands together while praying.
Mirai: " Hiro, you're a hero, so don't give up..."...
After watching them struggle and fighting their way that far, she wandered what on earth was she doing.
" This is not who I really am... This is wrong! I can't just pretend that nothing of this whole mess isn't wrong!"
Mizel: " sis..."
She whirled around and faced him.
" You were... So kind to me..."
He approached her.
" I'm... Sorry..."
With that, she flew away, Mizel tried to reach for her and stop her but retorted. It seems she actually made her mind...
Ban and the other two stood underneath the kneeling robot.
Ban: " How do we get in?"
They looked around and suddenly Ran spotted a certain purple LBX hovering next to the left knee.
Ran: " isn't that..."
Ban and Hiro turned to her. The LBX quickly flew through the joint's opening.
Ran: " we can get in from over there."
Ban: " alright, let's go!"
Hiro: " okay."
They ran to the knee and managed to squeeze through the opening. Twilight was waiting for them before flying ahead.
Ban: " let's follow her."
Ran and Hiro nodded as all three of them followed the winged robot through the internal paths of Mizel Trouzer.
She suddenly stopped in front of a door and looked back at them. Ban narrowed his eyes as he knew what lays behind it.
Eva: " be... Careful..."
Ban's attention then shifted to the robot.
Ban: " don't worry about us. You should get back soon, your time is running out."
The LBX nodded before flying past them while the three advanced to face Mizel...
She got out of the giant robot and flew towards the Ducks shuttle. As she made her way, she couldn't help but notice all the people fighting desperately against Vectors. All gathered there, despite all of their differences, to help defeat Mizel.
Lowering her altitude, she flew past the LBXs holding the OPG devices and out the Grand Sphere.
" I need to help with what I can too."
With that only thought in mind, she got in the Duck Shuttle, passing by the bridge where Takuya was patiently waiting for the kids to come triumphant, flying through the empty hallways while following Vector's hacking traces until reaching the control pod room.
She used the duct to get in and her appearance disturbed the team of professors who were trying hard to open the control pods.
Haruka: " Eva..."
The LBX nodded.
Eva: " want to help..."
Haruka scanned the robot for a brief moment then nodded her head and the LBX flew to the panel. Placing its hand on it, it emitted a purple glow...
O-Legion was defeated, Mizel was deleted, the Vectors outside stopped. They all breathed in relief at that before their pods opened. Everyone cheered happily with Ami taking the purple LBX in her palm.
Ami: " thanks for getting us out, Eva."
Eva didn't know what to say in response, it wasn't actually the reaction she expected. She merely nodded her head.
When they thought everything was going well, Mizel Trouzer started collapsing, that led to the bomb inside it to be activated.
Ban: " dad, the detonation countdown for Seto 50 activated!"
Jun'ichirou: " what!"
Ban: " but the exit is blocked and we can't get out!"
Jun'ichirou: " how long until it detonates?"
Ban: " five minutes!"
All of them gasped in fear.
Jin: "Seto 50 will explode in just five minutes..."
They all seemed desperate while Ban and the others inside were trying to make their way out.
Gouda, Sendou and Elie ran inside the room.
Gouda: " how's Ban?"
Jun'ichirou: " they haven't made it out yet."
Elie: " Onii-chan..."
Sendou: " can't we do something?!"
While they were gritting their teeth, hoping that they would make it out, Gouda snapped.
Gouda: " I can't just stand here while they get killed off! I'm going out there even if it's just me!"
Jun'ichirou looked down.
Elie: " dad..."
He looked up at her while she was holding Achilles tightly in her hands.
Elie: " ... Will Onii-chan... Die..."
Her eyes became moist as she choked on words. Jun'ichirou suddenly had an idea.
Jun'ichirou: " I know! Everyone, listen up!"...
Just when Ban and the others jumped, the bomb exploded, creating a bright light that absorbed everything within the Sphere.
As soon as the trio opened their eyes, they found themselves surrounded with their friends' LBXs along with Eva. They protected them when they formed another Sphere around them the moment of the explosion.
Everyone rushed out of the Duck Shuttle.
Ami: " they're back!"
Asuka: " Hey!"
Jessica: " that really put us on the edge."
Elie: " but Onii-chan and the others are back in one piece after all, thank God."
Kazu: " it worked! Professor!"
Otacross: " using the OPG devices to make a small-scale Grand Sphere. Nice thinking, professor Yamano."
Yuuya: " I'm glad we made it in time."
Jin: " yeah."
Haruka took off her glasses.
Haruka: " Hiro."
Kirito: " you guys don't know when to give up."
Gouda: " says you."
Sendou: " says you."
Elie: " Dad..."
He looked down at her.
Elie: " ... Your LBXs saved Onii-chan, Dad."
She said with a sweet smile. Jun'ichirou smiled back before taking out his phone and calling his son.
Jun'ichirou: " Ban, Hiro, Ran. Great job."
Ban: " Dad! The LBXs you made saved the world! Thanks for making LBXs, Dad!"
The professor had a satisfied smile at that as his son and friends flew towards them...
When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiiya and Haruka by her side, both of them with relieved faces.
Eva: " what happened... And why is my head hurting so much?"
Haruka: " we've just finished transferring your AI back, of course it will hurt for a while. I don't know what happened to you, of all things to do you've transferred your AI!"
She more or less scolded her before she held up the purple LBX in hand.
Eva: " Twilight..."
Haruka: " Jiiya told me, that you made it yourself. It explains why its AI was able to withstand yours. You made that AI from scratch on your own and it's superior to normal LBXs. I'm impressed."
Her frown slightly morphed into a proud smile.
Jiiya: " Lady Evangeline..."
She looked back at her caretaker, still with confused mind.
Jiiya: " I'm afraid my heart can't handle situations like this anymore."
Eva narrowed her eyes as she recalled everything.
Eva: " right... I kind of believed Mizel back then..."
Jiiya: " lady Evangeline, I'm sorry if my words have upset you in anyway, I was just worrying for you. But it seems I've gone beyond the limit."
Eva: " not at all, Jiiya-san... Thanks for worrying about me."
He smiled softly at her and she managed a small smile as well.
" Is she awake already?"
Elie walked in ahead of the others and Eva blinked twice at them, it took her a few seconds before recalling them all.
Elie: " you were the one who opened all of the control pods by only touching the panel, right?"
Eva: " um... Yeah..."
She dreaded where this was taking. Elie walked over to her.
Elie: " you're awesome!"
Eva: " ha?... Eh!"
Hiro: " is it some kind of a super power! That would be awesome!"
Eva: " I don't know if it's considered a super power..."
Ran: " don't you have this future vision thing, Hiro, why are very excited though?"
Elie: " because it's not every day you come across something amazing like this! And hold on, you have future visions, Hiro!"
Hiro: " I don't even know how it happened thought..."
He said rubbing his head and sweat dropping.
Everyone else merely watched them with a smile before Ban walked off to the girl.
Ban: " you've helped us a lot today, we owe you."
Eva blinked twice.
Eva: " now hold on... You guys saw what I did, what happened with me and..."
Jin: " and so what?"
Eva: " I don't know, act a little bit scared... Out of habit maybe?"
Sendou hardly held back his laugh.
Sendou: " come on, for god's sake. Give me one reason I should be scared of you."
Eva: " because I'm... Different than you..."
Everyone exchanged looks.
Asuka: " so what? It makes you just cooler!"
Eva merely blinked at her.
Elie: " difference isn't something to be ashamed of off."
Elie said as she walked over next to her, offering a gentle smile at the younger girl.
Elie: " difference is something you should be proud of."
Scanning through all of their faces, Eva then looked down while placing her hand on her chest.
Eva: " ... It feels... Warm..."
She looked at her parent figure.
Eva: " Jiiya-san... What..."
Jiiya's smile softened and his already small eyes narrowed.
Jiiya: " at a time like this, you should smile and say thank you, lady Evangeline."
The blonde nodded before turning to everyone with the most beautiful smile she ever made.
Eva: " everyone, thank you."...
