In the preparatory room, Kairi and Rena were discussing what they had just seen in the arena. A little fairy, turning into a horrible monster, bordering the word mutant? That it was the height of horrendous. Rena admitted that she had really ugly monsters in her world, but nothing like that! It was clear that no force of light could create something similar.
When they saw approaching Edea, she was interrogated about Airy. With a sigh, she began her story: Airy, at first, pretended to be a 'crystal fairy' who wanted to help her friend, a vestal or priestess of the crystal, to save their world from darkness, waking the crystals of a slumber that left they obscured. But what they didn't know was that it opened the door to a parallel dimension identical to her own. They finally discovered, in a hard way, that Airy's intention was to unite as many possible parallel worlds to awaken her master, Ouroborous, god of destruction, and so this devours these worlds and then attacks the Celestial Kingdom. During the final battle, Ouroboros devoured Airy by her ineptitude, but eventually, the god of destruction was destroyed and the link between dimensions was cut.
Rena and Kairi were thoughtful after hearing the dark history behind Airy, but for the elf, was something that didn't fit with the story.
"Assuming Ouroboros ate up Airy, what's she doing here?" Rena asked.
"That's what I've been wondering all day since I saw her." The blonde replied.
Kairi thought for a moment. "Maybe..." The redhead began, remembering. "Maybe the Fallen are behind. Isn't it weird that they're here like her?"
"It's a possibility," Rena said.
"Anyway ..." Interrupted Edea. "We should be careful. If indeed she is allied with the Fallen, they may have set a trap if we win. "
"But Edea, does forgetting the protection spell?" The elf asked.
"He's right. While active, no one can die." Kairi said.
"Yeah, but you have seen what that witch did to those three gladiators, and they were already dead if I'm not mistaken." Explained Edea. "And if they have any way to remove the protection?"
"Maybe they can," Kairi admitted. "But we've already beaten Elrena. And she was quite complicated. It's possible that we can overcome this."
"Yeah, but one thing is facing a bolt-user throwing knives, and another thing is dealing with THAT," Rena said, referring to Airy.
"Well, will be prepared," Kairi said. "The three together, we can win this 'fairy' and let things clear to these monsters." She said, extending her hand toward them.
Rena nodded and put her hand on Kairi. "You're right. We've already proven what we can do together. "
Edea thought for a moment and put her hand on the other two. "Whatever it is, whatever happens, we'll get through."
The three nodded and prepared for their round of battles.
The next 5 battles were:
Stony Horror: A Stone Giant guarded by five Skeletons.
Triangle Elementary: A group of 3 Spectra Ignis, 3 Spectra Nulla, and 3 Spectra Cicero.
Hunting Party: A group that consists of 3 Skeleton Soldiers, 4 Skeleton Archers, 2 Wargs, and 3 Spectra Sana.
Iron Guard: A group that consists of 3 Axe Armors and 4 Armor Knights.
Red Guardian: A Sentinel.
The three could admit that while the fight with 'Hunting Party' was complicated, having to openly fight a Sentinel, his unbreakable shield and rapid-fire cannon, unable to hide was already excessive. Especially knowing what awaited them.
Finally, the three entered the arena, ready for anything. Now in the center, they saw Airy, in her monster form, slowly approaching the center of the arena, as if enjoying at every step the horror that viewers felt at her. Soon she was at the center of the arena, watching the three girls staring at her.
"What's wrong?" Airy asked ominously. "Nothing to say? Better, I hate useless talks. Especially with those who will son cry out in pain."
"Tell your threats to those interested, legged worm," Rena said.
"By that insult, I promise you will wish a quick death," Airy replied the insult.
"That would be good if you could try to kill us, remember?" Kairi tempted, emphasizing the protection.
"That's what you think, brat," Airy said with an air of confidence. "Soon you will have a surprise when we start the fight."
That voice gave distrust to Rena, who suspected she would do something or had already done something. Edea, however, continued to stare at her coldly. Zeus soon appeared among them and addressed the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen! With all of you, the first match of the second round!" The king of the gods shouted. "In this fight will face the group of young warriors Kairi, Rena, and Edea Lee; against Airy." Presented Zeus, but muttered quietly. "But I have no idea how to classify her if as fairy or worm, or who knows..." He looked doubtfully at Airy, but then returned his gaze to the public. "Let the battle begin!" Zeus yelled, disappearing from the arena in a flash and appearing in the stands of the gods in the act.
Edea was the first to jump on Airy, but she didn't flinch at the sudden threat, and one of his hands hit her in the arm, throwing her to the ground, and landing next to Kairi.
"Are you okay?" Kairi asked. "You shouldn't have jumped on without a plan."
"I'm fine," Edea said rising, but she grabbed her arm in pain from the blow but noticed something odd there. When looked at her hand, she realized it was bloody and looked at her arm, seeing that she had scratches from Airy's claws. "I'm bleeding?"
Both froze at this. Aren't supposed they were protected? Airy's laugh got them out of his thoughts, and soon tied ends.
"You have something to do, right?" Kairi asked.
"I declare that I am guilty," Airy said, bragging about it.
"How did you do that?" Edea questioned, leaving to hold the injured arm.
"I didn't it alone. I have allies. Powerful allies. Remove your barrier for them was a kids' game."
It was clear! The Fallen are behind, and she is with them! "Now everything fits," Edea said.
The gods were watching what was happening, but couldn't intervene in the fighting. If someone outside the battle intervened, the tournament would be suspended and that possibly disappoint everyone, so they were forced to just watch.
"Whatever," Kairi said, Keyblade in hand. "You will not win, either cheating."
"Fools, unprotected I have already won," Airy said. "But if you want to fight to the death, attack if you dare."
The three jumped on her, ready to attack, but the creature only smiled, pressing the palms of her arms. "Prepare to go to the slaughter." With that, the palms shone and at 'clap them', everything around it exploded, knocking the three girls directly, sending them into the air, and causing them to land right on the edge of the arena, with clear wounds from the explosion. "Some babies like you could never defeat such an ancient and powerful creature like me," Airy said coldly, watching the girls on the floor.
Some were speechless, others were terrified, but the others began booing Airy for her actions, just as she laughed looking at the sky like she won the fight. Phil had to close his eyes not wanting to see what might follow. "I knew it wasn't a good idea! I should keep refusing!" Phil said.
"Hey, Phil..." Hercules said, seeing something strange in the arena.
"This is clearly my fault," said the Faun and looked at the arena. "Huh?"
The gods, even Hades, looked at the girls surprised, because one of them, Rena, was rising, even with the sustained explosion. Elrena couldn't believe what she was watching from the stands and Phil almost sticks out his eyes of the orbits, saying untranslatable inconsistencies before the big surprise.
Rena was standing, looking down, shaking the dust from her arm slowly. After giving a look to Kairi and Edea, who were recovering consciousness, she directed her gaze to Airy, who was unaware of what was happening.
"Child?" Rena ran to the beast, and after getting near jumped, rising up to her head, ready to kick, surprising Airy off guard. "If by chance we were family..." Without warning, she delivered a strong kick to the side of the head. "Surely I would be your grandmother!" Airy fell on her side after the powerful kick, still shocked by what happened, while Rena landed at her side.
Everyone, including the gods, even Hades, was amazed by what they had just witnessed, unable to drop a word, since absolutely no one, not even the gods, expected this turn of events.
"I spoke with the Morias and said that the fight would end in the explosion," Hades said to Zeus. "I have to talk with them later."
Soon Edea and Kairi stood, catching the attention of Rena. "Are you okay?"
"A little bruised by the explosion and the drag on the ground, but fine," Kairi answered.
"You should be more careful when you do this," Edea said, holding her head with one hand.
"Yes, you should," Kairi replied. "Next time, think about the others, okay?"
"Do you think this over?" Airy asked as she moved to stand up, making Rena jump back, regrouping with the others. "I don't know how you have endured my attack, but I promise I will do as you wanted to stay on the ground." Airy threatened the three, while they looked at her without being cared. 'How is this possible? It is assumed that the explosion should have left them at least dying, badly hurts as a minimum, and yet, the Elf has risen, and has also kicked me. What's going on? Is that I have lost some of my powers?' Airy thought, but then smiled. It doesn't matter.'
The three girls were put into a combat stance. 'There are many ways to acquire power. When I had finished with them, I will seek that power that will return me to my former glory, and nobody, not even the Fallen will stop me. Maybe I use them, but one thing is clear. These brats will be a clear example of what happens to those who defy me. I will kill and shred them in front of everyone, to set an example.' Airy smirked. "You pray whatever you know, brats! When I finish with you, neither of your loved ones will recognize you!"
Her hands began to glow red and point them in front of her, towards the girls. "Begone!"
"Watch out!" Edea alerted.
Then of them, a magic ring big as Airy was formed, and from it was shot a huge beam of fire that hit the wall. The beam continued for quite a while until the beam stopped, revealing that nothing was there was passed the beam of fire, only being there the smoke that appeared with the heat of the arena's bricks, and on the wall was a large fire mark in the bricks. Everyone looked horrified at what had happened, thinking that none had survived.
Zeus then rose from his tribune. "Ladies and gentlemen. Despite what we have just seen, the tournament should continue. Therefore, the winner of the fight is Ai-" "Not so fast!"
Zeus looked at the arena and nearly falls backward to see the unthinkable. Despite the devastation of the attack, she had missed it! When the smoke began to disappear, they found a dome of ice that had resisted the flare.
"Impossible!" Airy exclaimed, watching the ice dome.
The dome of ice broke, showing that the girls had taken refuge inside the dome, though they were breathing hard, probably because of the shock.
"Thank you," Rena said, looking at Kairi.
"It was good to learn this trick to freeze the barrier," Kairi said.
"I know someone who would like to learn this trick," Edea said.
"I see that you are full of surprises, I must admit," Airy said. "But that will not save you the next time."
"There will be no next time!" Rena said shooting an arrow into the creature.
"That's wasting time," Airy said moving to stop the arrow, but when it hit, it caused a flash that stopped her instantly. "What?"
When the flash faded, Edea was already facing Airy, and the swordswoman struck her several times with her katana, and while Airy was protected by the protection, it didn't prevent the impact of the attack, until the last hit made her step back. When she tried to return the attack, Edea jumps aside and Rena launched an arrow at Airy, this time taking the form of a phoenix of fire that flew towards her, impacting directly on her, and throwing her aside, falling heavily on the floor. When she got up, Kairi jumped on her with the Keyblade on the head, and falling hit her in the head like a hammer, causing it to take it down from the impact.
"Curse you!" Airy exclaimed angrily.
Rena and Edea rushed to her side and without slowing, Edea prepared her sword and Rena jumped highly while Kairi was preparing her Keyblade, and when the three were already together, in unison, they released a triple direct attack on Airy that launched her hard against the ground on her back, causing a cloud of dust when landing hard.
The three were breathing hard after the effort, while looked the insectoid on the floor, and nobody seemed to want to say or say anything until the thing was already clear. Soon Airy turned on herself and got up and looked over at the three girls, breathing hard, as if to show that it had not achieved anything, but...
Airy almost collapsed, and after shining in a dark pulse, regained her form of a fairy, but couldn't seem able to stay in the air for long.
"It's over," Edea said, lowering his sword.
Airy looked at them with a face of hate and fatigue, but something caught her attention next to her, causing it to turn around. Without warning, something hit her and threw her to the ground, causing her to lose consciousness. Everyone saw that the sudden attacker was a kind of a big dark brown demon with a faun body, with two huge black horns and red hair that were rising behind the forearms and neck in the form of a lion's mane, two red steel gloves on the arms and light red chest armor. This creature roared with fury and several flames left its body, making the three retreat from the heat. The demon looked at Airy and tried to crush her with his fist, but Hercules, who was fast, entered the arena and stopped it, causing both to begin to struggle while Hercules tries to move him away from the unconscious fairy.
"The rules don't say anything about these things," Medusa said as he laughed softly. "There's your reward for failure. Good riddance." Said the lady snake before entering the Coliseum's darkness.
"Hey! This kind of trickery is mine!" Hades said angrily. "When I caught the imitator I will turn it into ashes!"
The quarrel between Hercules and the creature began to cause fires around the arena, forcing the evacuation of the arena, while the demigod distracted the invader. Kairi could see in the demon's forehead the mark of the Fallen, but in purple, just before Phil started to pull her to flee to a safe place outside the battlefield.
"What's going on? What was that thing?" Edea asked when the four were in the hall, after evacuating everyone.
"That monster is Ifrit, the Fire Lord Eidolon. The fiery devil." Phil said.
"An Eidolon, as Shiva and Chocobo?" Kairi asked.
"That's right." Asserted Phil. "What I don't understand is what he is doing here this being. This world hasn't what we could say an appropriate place to tell him. "
"Tell me about it, I found Shiva in a frozen cave in the middle of a desert," Kairi explained.
"But what is he doing here? Why is attacking as that?" Edea asked.
"I just know that I noticed a strange dark force that seemed to have it under control as if forced to do so," Rena said.
"The Fallen," Kairi said, making the others look at her. "I could see their mark on the forehead of Ifrit. Sure is under their control."
"The Fallen?" Phil asked surprised. "But then that means ..."
"It means that you have been fooled and that Medusa is actually related to them," Kairi said. "Without saying that she really IS one of them."
"And what can we do?" Asked Phil.
"Sora told me something similar happened, so I plan to do the same."
"But he was faced with Cerberus, the guardian of the Underworld and Hades' pet! It has no point of comparison with that creature of fire!" Phil warned.
"But Hercules can't do it alone!" Kairi said.
"We're coming with you," Edea said as Rena nodded.
"Thank you."
"Stop, wait!" Said Phil trying to stop the girls unsuccessfully, sighing at the end. "Let's see, someone thinks this happened before?" Phil said putting on a half smile and a raised eyebrow.
Hercules was against the wall with Airy, still unconscious, in his hand, trying to hold off Ifrit who was approaching slowly but furiously at him. The Eidolon tried to attack him with a fireball when he felt an impact on his back, causing it to turn around, finding Kairi, Rena, and Edea behind. Ifrit entirely turned towards them, letting out a deafening roar.
"Get her out of here, we take care of this!" Kairi said to Hercules.
Soon Hercules took the opportunity to get out with Airy of the arena quickly while the three faced Ifrit, ready to fight.
The fiery devil roared again, and soon the whole area around the arena was covered in flames, blocking any exit with huge walls of fire blocking any possible exit to the three girls. But of course, they had already made up my mind that they wouldn't run.
Rena fired several arrows, impacting various parts of your chest, but only they did retreat it. Edea ran to him and began to attack him with her katana, although the skin of Ifrit seemed harder than normal meat, causing several minor cuts on his body. But the Eidolon stomped forward and backed his fists to his sides, turning them into fireballs. Edea saw it coming and jumped back, but he stepped forward and threw both fists toward Edea, who was forced to block with her katana, but the blow of both punches was so strong that threw her back falling to the ground. "What a brute." Moaned Edea when arose after the hit on the back.
Rena shoots more arrows at Ifrit, but he jumped aside to avoid the arrows, and in his new position got down on all fours like a bull, lighting on fire throughout the body, and soon launched himself like a fireball against Rena and Kairi, causing them to move aside to avoid being hit.
When Ifrit stopped the flames in his body went out, but he turned quickly and jumped up to get close to Kairi, firing his fists. Instinctively the redhead invoked her magic barrier, preventing the two immediate Eidolon punches, but the third strike broke the barrier and as he did with Edea sent her back.
"It seems we have to avoid physical contact," Rena said, avoiding a fiery punch from Ifrit. "If not he will burn us or break us a bone."
"Thanks for the anecdote," Edea said running towards Ifrit, starting to attack again, causing superficial wounds, and avoiding with a jump the punch of the Eidolon.
Kairi took the opportunity and launched a Blizzaga against him, hitting him in the torso, but he turned and struck the ground with his fist at her, generating a fire curtain that advanced to Kairi, who was forced to jump aside but barely touches the wall of fire.
"Watch where you jump if you don't want to unnecessarily burn yourself!" "Thanks for the advice!" Kairi answered moving away a bit from the wall of fire.
Ifrit stepped back, backing his fists too, and then stepping forward. Rena and Edea saw it coming and this time when he gave the second step, both jumped sideways avoiding the double fiery punch. That allowed them to counterattack him with slashes and kicks until they were forced to retreat to avoid his burning fists counter.
Kairi released another Ice against him, this time hitting him in the head, but that enraged it, and tried to run over her like a runaway bull, causing Kairi to jump aside to avoid the impact, with him stopping beside one of the firewalls.
He then placed his hands on the wall, as if trying to catch it. Then he pulled it, taking part of the flames on its head, creating a huge fireball as big as him.
"Are you kidding me?!" Edea exclaimed, seeing the fireball.
Ifrit launched the huge fireball towards Kairi, who had to jump to the side, avoiding by the narrowest of margins the fireball that crashed into the wall of fire, melting into it. Then the Eidolon was launched like a runaway bull against Rena who dodged it by jumping over it, landing behind him, giving her time to shoot several arrows at his back.
Kairi thought to use another Blizzaga again, but due to the enormous power of Ifrit, she thought she would need more power, and thus began to focus on her ability. Ifrit saw her without and thinking pounced on her, but Edea got in his way and countered with her katana to give time to Kairi.
That allowed Kairi to call her Shiva form in time, but Rena looked doubtfully. "Are you sure? Ice against Fire? You could have thought of something more useful."
"Sorry, but I only have this and the Chocobo," Kairi replied, making Rena sigh.
Kairi then sent a Blizzaga over Edea, impacting Ifrit, and this time the spell froze part of his head. That gave Rena a chance to shoot several arrows at him, causing more damage until Ifrit roared furiously and unleashed around himself a tornado of fire that forced the three to retreat until the fiery tornado disappeared, having melted the ice.
Kairi sent another Blizzaga on it, this time frizzing an arm, but she was panting from exhaustion, probably due to the heat there and the Shiva form, made of ice, which would endanger her if she was not careful. She knew she should end soon with him if they didn't want to end up charred, then saw the shining mark of the Fallen on the forehead, and thought of a risky idea.
"Girls, I need you to distract it, I have an idea," Kairi said.
Rena and Edea nodded and began to attack Ifrit with everything they had at the same time weakening with the wounding, but still, all the time became more aggressive, which complicated things. While Kairi was carrying her magic for her plan and waited for the chance to attack until Ifrit, fortunately, stood to face her. Then she threw a Blizzaga on his legs, freezing and leaving him on the site. At this moment, Kairi went levitating as quickly as possible toward him, avoiding the fireballs Ifrit launched against her from his arms, and when she was near, she rose and being right above him,
Kairi hit the Keyblade's tip against his forehead, just at the emblem.
Ifrit stood still as a statue while Kairi got away from him. From a distance, she saw the forehead's emblem disappear, and soon Ifrit fell, breathing heavily, while the walls of fire were extinguished. Rena came to see if the thing was going well and then the Eidolon shone in a red tone and suddenly disappeared in a burst of flames, leaving only a bright red light floating where he was. Kairi looked at it for a while and then the light moved at high speed until Kairi, entered and disappeared into her chest. Both Rena nor Edea didn't know what had happened, but Kairi already had an idea of what was happening.
"Thus, I do hereby dub thee 'junior heroes' and confer upon the full rights and privileges to participate in the games," Phil said, along with Hercules, Kairi, Rena, and Edea in the hall, having finished everything. "Further-"
"Wait, junior heroes?" Edea asked.
"You rookies still don't understand what it takes to be a true hero," Phil answered.
"Would not it be better 'junior heroines'?" Edea asked.
"We have not many women heroes here," Phil said.
"But why do you put us in that grade? We showed our worth before." Kairi said.
"Look, don't bother. Sora was in this same situation, so relax." Hercules said. "Someday you will be, like Sora and his friends."
"But don't expect to participate in the games for a while. Those two of Airy and Ifrit have caused a lot of messes." Phil said.
"By the way, where is she?" Edea asked.
"When I realized, she was gone," Hercules answered. "Surely she fled."
"Okay, I have to continue on my path," Kairi said and went off, and after a while, Edea and Rena went well.
"Still I cannot believe that despite the last battle, were able to defeat Ifrit." Mused Phil.
"Just between us..." began Hercules. "I'd already worn that Eidolon down by the time they jumped in."
Then Phil looked at his apprentice. "My lips are sealed."
Outside, Kairi walked through the courtyard of the Coliseum, until being in the center, she stopped and looked at the sky, thinking about everything that had happened.
"Are you okay?" Rena asked, coming to Kairi with Edea at her side.
"It's nothing." The redhead replied. "It's just that I'm thinking about all this. I can't get out of my head why the Fallen are trying to kill me." She said and turned to them. "Seriously, I am a Princess of Heart able to use a Keyblade. What is so special that makes monsters that stopped appearing decades began to try to get rid of me?"
"The truth is that this is a good question," Edea said. "If this were my world, Yulyana could shed some light on this.
"And maybe my contacts in my world might know something about this," Rena said but shrugged. "In any case, we cannot do anything. We're trapped here. "
Kairi sighed, but then thought of something. "Wait, I can travel between worlds!"
"Do you have a vehicle capable of that?" Edea asked.
"Yes!"
"Ah, then we can return home!" Rena said looking at Edea.
"Yes," Edea said looking at Rena, but turned to Kairi. "But after helping her."
"What?" Kairi blinked in confusion.
"Look, it is clear that you have a lot of problems, and you need help. So either if you can take us home, we will not stop there until this is over there. "
"You're right, Edea," Rena said. "We can also get more information on this if we accompany you. You're probably at the center of the problems. "
"The truth is that actually yes." Kairi smiled shyly with one hand on the neck. "Well, if you put it like that, maybe I can take you with me to-"
The sudden sound of an explosion paused Kairi, making her look toward the source of the noise, being distant. And was accompanied by more explosions noise.
"What is that noise?" Edea asked.
"It's pretty far out of town if I hear well," Rena said.
"Out of town, you say?" Kairi asked but then fell into something terrible. "It can't be, the Gummi Ship!" Kairi then ran out of the courtyard, followed by Rena and Edea.
As they ran as quickly as possible, Kairi explained to Edea and Rena that if for some reason the Gummi Ship was destroyed, they could never abandon the world and would be trapped there forever, making clear the gravity of the situation.
Soon they reached the area where the Gummi Ship, which now resembled a battlefield for the great cloud of dust in the area, and the Fallen entered it madly as if something would block their way.
"What's going on?" Edea asked.
"I don't know, but it seems that someone is holding them," Rena said. "It's so foggy I can't see anything!"
"But who?" Kairi asked.
Rena kept watching the dust fly until she could see in it two black and white orbs hitting the Fallen.
"I think... I think I know who it is!" Rena exclaimed with a smile.
Soon the dust cloud dissolved, while the Fallen in it went flying to the ground before vanishing. Between the vanishing Fallen, and the Gummi Ship that was intact, there was a kind of girl of a size a little lower than them, with white hair and dressed in clothes of black and white color, interspersed between the jacket, pants, and long boots. At first glance it seemed normal, if not for purely yellow eyes without pupils, her face devoid of expression, and the huge blue circular crystal in her forehead. Two strange black and white floating objects with yellow eyes floated nearby.
"They should have accepted my suggestion and have gone from where they came." The mysterious girl said.
"Who is she?" Edea asked completely confused, like Kairi.
"Eve!" Rena exclaimed and ran to her, surprising Edea and Rena.
Eve, the mysterious girl, looked and heard the voice of Rena, but was suddenly hugged it is a smile, causing Eve to blush. "Eve, I'm glad to see you!"
"I see it," Eve said as if trying to keep her composure, despite being flushed.
"Rena, do you know her?" Kairi asked as she approached alongside Edea.
Rena left hugging and looked at Eve. "Excuse me, is that I did not expect to find her here," Rena said and turned to Eve. What are you doing here?"
"When you disappeared across that strange vortex, Elsword and others were worried about you." Eve began. "After talking about it, I went first to see if I found you, but after crossing it the vortex closed. While I was looking, I found out about the tournament and I slipped to know about it, but then I heard the conversation between a woman with a snake's body and a man with a cheetah's body. They said that while you were distracted, they would destroy this ship. I don't know why, but I thought it would be important to protect this strange craft. "
"Thanks for it!" Rena said.
"As you say, that must have been Medusa, and the other was surely Shaft." Kairi thought aloud.
"Excuse me!" Edea said, grabbing the attention of all. "Rena, you have not told us from where you know her."
"Oh, sorry!" Said Rena flushed. "She is Eve, a friend of my world."
Eve turned to them and bowed, like a queen. "I am Eve, the Little Queen of Nasod." She said and soon the small orbs that seemed to have a close animal form approached her. "They are my companions. The black is Moby and the white is Remy."
"Nasod? What is that? "Kairi asked nervously after hearing the term.
"Don't look at me, it's the first time I hear it," Edea said, too nervous.
"Are you kidding us?!" Kairi and Edea asked at once startling Rena and Eve after learning that Nasod are machines with free will and that Eve was one of them. Clearly, after that tried to calm them like Rena could surprise.
"First of all, may I know your names?" Eve asked.
"Oh, right," Edea said, blushing, and soon regained her composure. "My name is Edea Lee, daughter of Braev Lee, Great Marshal of Eternia." Edea presented but sighed. "But now that I think, don't think it will do much good being away from home."
"I'm Kairi. Princess of Heart and Keybearer.
"Keybearer? Just have some data on the weapon used by people like that." Eve said.
"In any case, thank you for protecting the Gummi Ship," Kairi said, looking at the ship. "It seems that as of now I have to leave it up there and use the teleport system."
"Teleport system?" Rena asked. "Why don't you use it before?"
"Is that in the Lanes Between usually are Heartless flying aimlessly around. And I don't want to risk that one appears without warning and destroy it without warning. "
"That would be unfortunate if we were in a world and one destroys the ship," Edea said.
"Why don't let someone there in the meantime?" Eve asked.
"I've thought, but I think that would be bad in the long run," Kairi said.
"I could pilot it."
The three stood stunned looking at Eve when she said that. Kairi was the first to speak. "Wait, are you trying to say what I think?"
"Is it?" Rena asked.
Eve looked at Rena. "As I said, the others were worried. What kind of friend would leave a friend there without help? "
"It's me or for her, the word 'friend' is taken seriously?" Edea asked Kairi and she nodded.
"Also, I think from there I could monitor you and warn you if there are more of those creatures out there."
"And how? I don't think it had a communication system to other worlds." Kairi asked.
"As you would say, I'm good with machines. I believe I can think of something along the way. "Eve said.
Edea and now Rena looked at Kairi, who went to look at the sky and then at them. "Okay," Kairi answered. "I never knew if it suited me too far. But I think now, maybe we can figure out the secret behind the Fallen, and so put an end to this bizarre persecution over me. "
Rena and Edea nodded with a smile, while Eve just nodded.
