As the battle raged across Tiegenhoff, Zenos Road and his four Heavenly Kings were fighting against the Fatebreakers. Deep in the city streets, Sentibug was battling Michiru as they leapt from building to building while the former Anarchy Kings with the tanuki girl were in hot pursuit, taking down any Unversed trying to keep them from interfering.

"You should never have stuck your nose in business beyond Anima City!" Sentibug said, flinging her yoyo at Michiru, who dodged.

"It became my business when Zenos turned Alan into an Unversed!" Michiru retorted as she kicked Sentibug in the face.

"What, you're avenging the racist now?" Sentibug asked sarcastically after she recovered from the punch, whipping her yo-yo around to land a strike onto the back of Michiru's head.

"I never said I was! But if we didn't stop him, Anima City would be destroyed!" Michiru said as she rubbed her head in recovery before she evaded more of Sentibug's yoyo strikes. The liberated Sentimonster tried once more to whip her yo yo around to strike her from behind, but this time Michiru blocked by enlarging her tail and getting the yo yo caught in her fur.

Sentibug tried to pull her weapon free, but Michiru pulled her in first, and then landed a Superkick to her face, smashing her through a building window.

"Etho, Zenos… both of them have caused nothing but trouble! If you're really like Ladybug, why did you side with both of them? Who are you doing this for, them?" Michiru asked.

Sentibug recovered. "Of course I am! Ehto gave me freedom and Zenos took me in when Mythos Hearts took him away from me! They didn't just see me as a god damned palette swap of that clumsy, neurotic girl, like everyone else did! I'm me, nobody else!"

"How can you say you are you when you still look like the one you were created after?" Michiru asked. "You still use that Sentibug name. If you're not Ladybug, then why are you still emulating her?"

"Shut up!" Sentibug snarled as she lunged towards the Beastman, grabbing her by the throat and strangling her, before Michiru transformed her legs, which Sentibug noticed too late.

"Horse legs?" Sentibug asked confused, before her opponent kicked the Sentimonster off, the latter landing on the other side of the rooftop while Michiru caught her breath.

"Ne quittez pas, Michiru!" Le Kraken called out as he and his crewmates raced towards them. "We shall back you up!"

"What're you trying to do here, Michiru, reason with her?" Ultra asked.

"Yeah… but it's not working too well." Michiru admitted.

Sentibug recovered and looked at herself in the mirror, seeing only a reflection of herself. But in that reflection, she also saw Ladybug, and that only made her more upset, all the emotions she was made from swirling around inside.

After experiencing so many emotions running through her head, Sentibug suddenly smiled, and chuckled. "Thank you, Michiru. I finally get it now. I understand everything."

"What do you mean?" Michiru asked.

(Cue: Unlucky Swarm- Brandon Yates)

"If I want to finally become myself… to finally prove I actually exist…then I can't be seen as Ladybug. I have to be who I've always seen myself truly as!" Sentibug said as darkness amassed over her, pulsing her entire body with power as her hair buns suddenly became undone and her white hair burst forth into a long flow as she laughed, rising into the air as dark silhouettes of multiple bugs swarmed around her. "Mythos Hearts, Fatebreakers, Lord Zenos… and you too, Lord Etho… take a good look! This is who I really am!"

In a bright burst of darkness Sentibug was covered in shadowy insects before she emerged as a giant Boss Unversed, taking on a horrifying new form. She was now a humanoid with a ladybug like pattern, only this time with actual wings with a heavy emphasis on black over red, all of her features being truly insectoid. The Unversed Symbol was placed on her forehead, as all kinds of dark insects swarmed around her.

Infested With Hate

Unlucky Swarm

"Holy jeez!" Nemo said in shock. "That's what she saw herself as this whole time?!"

"Non, Nemo. I think she has finally gone over the deep end. This is the lengths she will go to in order to be her own." Le Kraken said.

"Still think we should talk to her, Michiru?" Ultra asked.

"She's too far gone. All we can do now is finally take her out." Michiru said.

"Then let us help you." Mirror Match said, landing next to Michiru with crystal sword in hand. "At long last…your story ends, Sentibug!"

The Unversed raised an arm to the sky, a horde of black insects burst forth as they swarmed up, before dive bombing onto the Fatebreakers.

"Heads up!" DJ yelled as the group members were swallowed by the sea of insects, each of them battling the bugs as best they could.

"We're bein' swarmed here!" Nemo called. "Any ideas, guys?!"

"Any of yours are probably as good as mine!" Ultra said as he swatted what bugs he could, his Ultra Beasts doing most of his share.

Mirror Match struggled against the swarm, before he had a thought, and stopped. "It seems…I have no choice." he said before he calmly removed his helmet.

"Match, what're you doing?!" Tida yelled.

"...Taking notes from the other me." Mirror Match said, his eyes and horn visible, before they all began glowing green.

From outside of the swarm, a green glow suddenly became visible before it expanded rapidly, the swarm bursting apart with green fire. The group stood in the center as Sombra looked up at Unlucky Swarm.

"You…will…submit to us!" Mirror Match declared as shadows condensed around his body before rising up. The Unversed summoned another swarm as it and the shadows clashed, almost looking like two titans clashing. "What are you all waiting for? Destroy that creature!"

"C'mon! Let's finish this before Match loses himself in his darkside!" Nemo said.

"Okay!" Michiru said.

Unlucky Swarm then roared, charging right for the group.

"Kartana, use Night Slash!" Ultra said as his Kartana swiftly slashed through Unlucky Swarm, the strike taking effect only seconds after.

After that, Le Kraken cut into the Unversed with all six of his swords, then Molotok struck it with his hammer, sending it to DJ as he shredded it with his turn table saws, then using Spin the Record to send him spinning towards Nemo and Tida, the latter stabbing Unlucky Swarm in the stomach with her trident as Nemo showered it with his throwing knives, all the while green fire rained down onto the city streets and blanked it.

Michiru then summoned her wings and flew up to Unlucky Swarm, the unversed recovering and gaining a mandible clawed mantis arm and charging at the beastman in one last desperate attempt to end her life, while Michiru turned her left wing into one of her Gorilla Arms, and made it as large as she could go, before the two went at it…. And Michiru struck first, hitting Unlucky Swarm with all her might, the force of the impact so great, it shattered the Unversed form, turning it back into Sentibug as she fell right towards the flames.

Michiru then acted quickly and flew eight to the highest building, and then grabbed Sentibug before she plummeted to a burning death. However, her grip was too weak.

"Sentibug! Give me your other hand!" Michiru said. "You still have a chance to live! You can be whoever you want! Everyone has the right to live however they choose!"

Sentibug looked down at the flames. She looked up at Michiru. She looked straight ahead, and saw her reflection in a window. She then took a deep breath and looked up at Michiru.

"...I…was real." Sentibug said. "I existed. I had my own life…now…let me have my own death."

The girl then let go of Michiru's hand, closing her eyes as she fell into the flames.

(End song)

Michiru looked down as Sentibug burned in the green flames, finally ending her own existence. The other Anarchy Kings joined her on top of the building as Le Kraken had put Mirror Match's helmet back on.

"Whoa… heavy." Nemo said.

"Choosing to rather die knowing she existed instead of continuing to live as someone else… tragic, but perhaps there was no other way this story could've ended." Mirror Match said.

"I wish we could've helped her, but there are some people who don't want to have their fates changed." Michiru said. "But, I know during that fight, I saw what she was thinking in her eyes. For that one time through her whole life… she loved herself."


Another area of Tiegenhoff, Kazuma and his party vs Eveline…

"That badass taunt, all that confidence…and this is where we are?!" Kazuma shouted as he desperately held a Molded back with Chunchunmaru, trying to keep it from infecting him.

"You're the one who thought we could win with just the four of us!" Aqua retorted, being chased by three Molded herself, before Megumin blew them back with a couple shots from her grenade launcher.

"If only we weren't in a cramped city, then I could blow Eveline and all her Molded sky high!" Megumin complained.

"And, may honor forgive me for this, but perhaps Le Kraken was right!" Darkness said as she was still missing all her hits. "I need a different weapon!"

"You all are so funny!" Eveline laughed. "I almost feel bad that I have to kill you…almost."

Aqua got hit by a Molded that blindsided her, as it towered over her, preparing to deal a killing blow.

"Aqua!" Kazuma yelled, but he couldn't get away from the Molded that were trying to kill him.

He couldn't reach Aqua in time… But Chris certainly could, stunning the Molded with a headshot as Ogami grabbed Aqua's attacker and ripped it apart with his bare hands.

"Chris! Ogami! You came back!" Aqua cried in relief.

"Just to get you four back to your senses." Chris said. "And we ran into one of your friends on the way here."

"Oi! You Tarks can't go dying yet!" a voice said as Makû appeared. "You lot are more useful alive!"

"Don't belittle yourselves, You can't beat that abomination." Ogami said.

"Don't underestimate these four, you brat. They'll surprise ya and take you out if y'do." Makû said."

"How the hell are we supposed to do that?!" Kazuma said. "Aqua can barely defend herself, Megumin only has explosives, and Darkness can't hit anything. And I'm just…me. What the hell are we supposed to do?"

"What you always do. Make the best out of what you've got." Chris said.

"And, of course, you lot got me now!" Makû said, unholstering something covered in a tarp off his back. "Hey, crusader! That leader of yours said you might want this!" he said, throwing the tarped object to Darkness.

Darkness unfurled it, looking at what was inside. It was a sword, one much larger than her usual one. It looked similar to hers, only with a cross hilt of forward-sloping quillons with quatrefoil terminations.

"Is this…a claymore?" Darkness asked.

"Ay, that it is! Best weaponsmiths in Mordor made that! Call it an order for one of the bosses!" Maku said.

"I can't give up my old sword…" Darkness said, before she held the claymore with both of her hands. "But…for situations like this…I can carry two swords!"

Eveline laughed. "It won't matter anyway! You still can't hit anything, even if you have a bigger sword!"

"Don't you count them out yet." Ogami said. "Kazuma, start giving orders to your group."

"Orders? Since when have they…" Kazuma started until a thought struck him. "Orders…Orders! Aqua!" he said.

"Huh?" the goddess asked.

"Rista! She can use orders to get more power from the Unified Divine Realm!" Kazuma said. "So…why can't you?"

Aqua widened her eyes in realization, knowing Kazuma's ideas. "Alright. Let's do this!" she said, raising her hands to the sky.

"You sure this will work? Rista can't ask permission for anything big or else she'll get in trouble." Megumin said.

"Rista may be on a thin line…but Aqua, especially since what she's asking for isn't an instant win? It'll work." Kazuma responded.

"Order! Grant onto me, Goddess Aqua, the power to supply my allies with divine blessings of power!" Aqua asked.

For a moment, all was still. Then, the clouds parted as a ray of light beamed down onto Aqua, the goddess truly looking divine as light emerged from her fingertips and touched all of the group members' weapons, causing them to glow.

"May your weapons strike with the power of the heavens." Aqua said, before the light faded from her. "...Now go kill some stupid Molded!"

"Wait, does this mean…?" Chris asked before he pointed his now glowing gun at a Molded and shot it. Instead of simply stunning it, the bullets then ripped the Molded to shreds, causing it to collapse. "It worked! We can kill them for good ourselves now!"

"What?!" Eveline asked in shock before turning to Aqua in rage. "You cheater!"

"Look who's talking, seeing as you got help from your new daddy first!" Aqua retorted.

"I'll just have to make sure you can't do it ever again then!" Eveline said, ordering her Molded to all focus on Aqua.

"I did my part! The rest is up to you guys!" Aqua said, having faith in her partners, not fear for her life.

"I've got your back, Aqua!" Megumin said, firing divine energy charged grenades at the Molded gunning for Aqua as she blasted them all to pieces, not regenerating afterwards.

Makû sliced up some more with his curved up sword, clearing the way. "Alright, Darkness! You and Kazzy go get that little brat!"

"Right! Come, Kazuma!" Darkness declared as she charged Eveline, Kazuma following behind her.

"N-No…get away from me!" Eveline screamed as she tried to blast them back like back in the Baker house, but the two continued to advance towards her. "No! No, no, no!"

"Playtime…is…over…you bitch!" Kazuma yelled as he and Darkness reached Eveline, raising their glowing swords to the sky.

For a moment before the swords came down, Eveline swore she could see another boy standing behind them, with his arm on Kazuma's shoulder, looking proud.

Then the swords came down, slicing Eveline across the body in a cross slash.

"No! You…a-actually… got me?!" Eveline asked Darkness, certain that she would for sure miss.

"This sword…it's heavier." Darkness said. "Bigger. I guess it just works for me better."

"Sorry it had to be like this, kid." Kazuma said, sounding a little regretful. "You were a total bitch…but, you did deserve better."

"N-no… I don't wanna go! Help me, Daddy! Please, help me!" Eveline screamed.

"Your dad can't come save you. It's time, Evie." Kazuma said. "Time to say good bye."

"D-Daddy…I'm sorry…I couldn't…do…better…" Eveline cried as her body crystalized and broke apart, crumbling into a pile of broken mold. All across the battlefield, the Molded yelled out as one, as they too began to fall apart.

"Reporting in! All the enemy Molded are dropping like flies all of the sudden! What happened?!" an Imperial observer called in.

"This is Fatebreaker 07, Kazuma Sato." Kazuma said in the comm. "Heavenly King Eveline…just got sent to permanent time out."

"I see. Well done, Kazuma." Mirror Match said. "If you're still okay, meet up with us in the main fighting. We've dealt with Sentibug, now we have to help our allies in the thick of it."

"You mean going straight into the warzone?" Kazuma asked.

"Yes."

"...We're on our way." Kazuma said.

"That's interesting. Kazuma actually wanting to be up in the frontlines." Koenig said. "Who are you and what have you done with the Kazuma we've come to know?"

"I'm still here, Koenig. I just wanna get this all over with, and then take Subaru on a real vacation." Kazuma said. "A good adventure isn't without a good reward."

"Make sure you're alive to receive that reward." Tanya said, before the group heard a blast over the comm. "Augh, this damn girl! Can't talk now!" she said, dropping the call.

"Okay…everyone good to go?" Kazuma asked, getting affirmatives. "Right. Let's go!"
