Sakamata Chloe
" So, how will you go through all that?" Chloe asks, looking at the flooded tunnel that blocking their ways after they've entered a long sewer.
Zeta opens her bag. " Luckily that I brought my small oxygen tanks just in case. I can breathe under water for around 20 minutes with this."
She then finds something to close her gun barrels, ready to go underwater as Chloe stretch's her arms and leg, preparing for a long dive.
" How can we prepare for an ambush?" Chloe asks, seeing that Zeta carries only a knife, her gun is practically useless underwater.
" The point of sneaking is to avoid enemies attention. Aren't you are whale or something? Can you use your sonar to detect a movements?" Zeta asks back.
Chloe shrugged, touching water with her hand.
" There are only a small movement, probably a rat or something. Nothing more."
Zeta packs a 'star destroyer' bomb on her back. "Let's go then."
….
They start swimming as slowly as possible, only flashlight from Zeta leading them where to go, the sewer hasn't been cleaned for a long time and fills with
wasted and unrecognizable slimy black thing.
Chloe is leading Zeta, her eyes glowing in the dark, scanning for any threats.
After a while, they're reaching area under the Akukin meeting room. Even Zeta surprised how easy their tasks were.
The ambush then happened when they were least expected.
A tentacles wrapping around Zeta body as the monster that camouflaged as a sewer wall dragging her down, Chloe turn her head back but she is also being
attack by another monster as well.
The slimy tentacles thing shoots its inks to block Chloe's vision as its tentacles start wrapping around her neck.
Zeta pulls out her knife and stabbing the monster, but it seems to not feel anything at all. Chloe also biting one tentacle in her mouths.
But other sevens tentacles are still attacking her at the same time. Some even pick small rock and hit orca girl's head with it.
Zeta waits for the monster to open its mouth and yanks her blade inside, cutting the monster throat as she kicks them and retrieves her freedom.
For a moment.
Another two monsters are swimming at Zeta like an octopus, blocking her way out.
Without any weapon left, Zeta has to clench her fists, ready for the crashes.
Two water blades running at the monster, cutting them in half as Chloe is swimming back from where she just torn the beast into pieces with bare hands.
Another monster trying to attack Chloe from behinds. But she simply throwing her harpoon, impales it with the tunnel walls.
Others movements in the tunnel tell them that there are more of the octopus monsters coming toward them.
Zeta swears, they are being surrounded. Just when the way out is so close.
Chloe pulled her harpoon out of the dying monster and swims in front of Zeta, blocking group of tentacles monsters from reaching her.
" Go!" Chloe yelled underwater, spinning her harpoon and creating a Atlantean ocean waves attack.
Zeta has no time to hesitate, her air is running low and the way out of the sewer is still far. She turns away and quickly swims, didn't look back as multiple
tentacles monsters approaching Chloe at the same times.
….
Laplus Darkness and Hired Companion
When they finally reach Akukin meeting hall. The big door is still close, but everybody can feel that something is waiting behind, daring them to get in.
" So, what's next? " Koyori asks.
" Get in." Lui and Iroha kicks the door opens. Their weapons rise.
In the middle of the big hall. Ninomae Ina'nis is kneeling in front of the ancient-looking opened book that I'd floating and shining in front of her,
as if she was praying at it.
" That must be a Necronomicon." Laplus muttered.
In the air. A picture of destruction and doom are showing as if they were in a movie theater. A sinking city filled with slimy tentacles monster,
a land with no people but filled with giant insects that working in the middle of desert.
And the big indescribable thing that rising again after his long sleep, changing everything beyond recognition.
" That is the ancients one. He is planning to be awaken again. It was him all along!" Laplus trying to describe everything for everyone to understand.
" What is that?" Iroha points at the picture that floating in the air like hologram.
" Thing that's already happened, is happening or will happens in the futures. Time has no meaning for ancient one. He can abuse it that easily." Laplus
explained.
" Then we must stop him!" Lui said, Iroha nodded and four of them quickly jumping at the same time, trying to attack Ina'nis from behind.
A giant crowbar swinging, knocking four of them out in one strike.
" Those who dare disturbed my awakening shall perished. Punish them, my friend!" Ina'nis turn her head toward them, her eyes are shining and her head is
twisting in an incredible way for human to do.
" What the heck is that?" Iroha questioned. As something that look like takodachi, but bigger than African elephant start walking toward them from
where it is hiding at the corner of the hall, a giant crowbar in one of its tentacles.
Koyori hugged Laplus and start screaming hysterically.
"Oh sh*t! It's giant Tako! He is going to bonks us all back to horny jail!" She starts saying nonsense at this point.
" Calm down Koyo. He has only one crowbar. So, he couldn't bonk us all at the same time." Lui trying to stop her friend's panic.
" WAHHH!" Giant takodachi roar, as the crowbar start appearing in eight of its tentacles.
" Welp, Sh*t!" Lui shrugged.
Giant monster looming over them, not hurry to attack.
Lui shooting her .500 magnum at the beast, and the bullet pierce through its jelly body. But the monster seems to not feels it as he starts swinging his
crowbars at Lui, who barely dodge it in time.
" Stop!" Laplus yelled, stunning everyone.
" Master Laplus! What are you doing?" Koyori questioned.
" I lost my lands and everybody long time ago. I will not let it happen again with my… Servants!" Laplus shouts.
" In the name of Judah Goat. I commanded you to stop and listen to me. Lord of Darkness!" Laplus yelled at the giant monster who clearly hesitated.
The monster then starts beating itself with its own crowbars, clearly confused, as the big shadow of horn monster growing behind Laplus' back.
"You aren't belong here takodachi. Now go back to wherever you are. And then don't bother us in our quest again. Are we clear?" Laplus shouts at the
monster, who quicklyflattened his body like a pancake.
Laplus then turn her head back to her companions.
" Everything is fine-" before she could end her sentences, takodachi, swinging his crowbars and hitting Laplus, sends her body flying and hit the meeting
hall's wall , bursting through it and disappear from her companion's sight.
" Master!" Koyori yelled.
Giant takodachis roar and get up again, running at them this time.
But everybody is so pissed right now.
Iroha running pass the monster, cutting two tentacles at the same time. Lui shooting her magnum, aiming at takodachi eyes and blinding it.
" We have takoyaki for tonight's dinner!" Koyori shouts, shooting fire from her flamethrower, burning the giant monster alive.
Somehow, the monster survives all of their attacks. It's body healing with incredible speed as it starts knocking Koyori down with crowbar before turning at
Lui and wrappings its tentacles around her body.
Iroha cut the tentacles in one swing and throwing her shurikens at the thing, flying blades cut through the monster flesh, but not enough to actually stopping
it.
Lui and Iroha jumps at the monster at the same time, but giant takodachis simply open its mouth and shooting a cookie that is bigger than truck tyre at
them, knocking both women down.
Koyori throwing Asakoyo bomb at the monster, but it's hit the bomb with crowbar, knocking the items back at Koyori. Who barely dodge before the explosion
begin.
While they were struggling to regroup. A loud roared suddenly filled the hall room as the giant goat monster with black wing bursting through the wall.
" That's master-" Lui choked. As the Baphomet punching tentacles monster, knocking it against the wall.
Takodachi get up again and shooting his cookies at Baphomet, who keep punching, send the cookies flying back inside the tentacles monster's mouth.
As takodachi still choking from its own attack. Goat monster pick up one of giant crowbar and start beating its head with it, crushing the tentacles monster
down.
Takodachi desperately shooting its inks at Baphomet face and trying to crawl away. But goat monster breath fire out of her nose like a flamethrower,
burning the thing down as she is quickly tearing the tentacles out with her hands.
" That's it! Master Laplus. Kick his ass!" Lui and Koyori are cheering like football fans as they were looking at the giant goat monster that stomping on the
burning octopus and roared in triumphant.
The fire suddenly goes down as the Baphomet is becoming smaller and smaller, wounded takodachi starts moving again as exhausted and out of stamina
Laplus is standing on it.
" Master!" Lui shouts a warning but takodachi already wrapping its tentacles on Laplus body, slamming her down.
A voice coming out of the communication devices as everyone is desperately wondering what to do next.
" Hello? Can you locates Ina'nis position?" Zeta asks, she just crawling out of the sewer, shooting a tentacles monster that trying to grab her leg with pistol.
Before she will running like hell to follows signal from groups of HoloX until she is finally standing under their feet.
" Master need helps!" Koyori yelled.
" Calm down and tell me what happened. Where's Ina'nis?" Zeta yelled back, preparing her ' star destroyer' bomb.
"In front of you. 50 meters!" Iroha reports.
Zeta hit the wall after only running for 15 meters.
" Sh*t! Dead end. Anywhere to go?" Zeta open building map and shouts in frustration. In front of her is a complete solid wall.
There are no others way to go.
" Can you blows everything up from there?" Lui asks.
" The radius is not enough!" Zeta yelled. " I need to get closer."
Giant takodachi roar " WAHHH!" again as it start throwing Laplus on the ground.
" Use the explosive. Now!" Laplus shouts, trying to hold one of the monster tentacles.
" No!" Koyori yelled.
" You guy cannot win against this thing anyways. No need to talk about walking pass it toward Ina. We have to kill this thing first!" Laplus clarified.
Giant takodachi trying to get up and leave, but Laplus return to her Baphomet form again, and holding its tentacles,
preventing the monster from running away.
" So, I should use my explosive or not?" Zeta asks, already deployed the bomb.
" Don't worry about me. Darkness cannot die. Because it lives within everyone's heart. You guys are still having futures, l am only a person of the past.
Just use the money I hide under my bed to buy a bingsu for everyone after all of this is over, okay?" laplus ordered.
Koyori sobbed. " Even though you almost never pay our monthly salary…"
" Do it now." Lui dragged Koyori away as Iroha is bow her head before she will leaving too.
" I will consumed every last drops of that bingsu. Laplus Sama."
" Good." Her hand starts getting smaller as Laplus turns back to human forms again.
Demon girl spat at the giant takodachi face. " No running away. You spineless f**k!"
Zeta punches the button and running away. ' Star destroyer' bomb explodes, creating a blue explosive that cover both Laplus and giant takodachi
at the same time.
Part of the floor collapsed and creating a pile of debris on where Zeta used to stand.
…
When it was over. Zeta quickly climbing from the big explosives hole, followed by Chloe with harpoon in hand and her mouthfuls of tentacles.
" Did we miss something?" She asks, looking at everyone face.
…
Ina'nis finally get up from where she was sitting.
" You dares killing my friend? All of you will being punished!"
Her eyes and halo is shining before Ina'nis will disappeared in a blink of an eye.
" Where is she?" Koyori asks, raising her flamethrower.
Ina suddenly appeared above Zeta head and swinging her tentacles at the agent who trying to block it with her rifle, but still being knocked down for several
meters by the force.
Iroha attack with supersonic speed and swinging her nodachi, but Ina'nis effortlessly block it with her tentacles and shooting energy beam at Kazama face.
Iroha move away, creating a mirages of five of her running around. This is something ninja learn from aliens call hunter clan which is look like humanoid
version of meat eating mammals such as cat, fox or wolf.
The movements are being call. ' shadow dancer' real hunter clan can control shadow as if it was their body parts. And can affect physical world with it.
However, puny human can only create these shadows to confuse enemies, more like how some reptiles change their color or releasing its tail to distract
enemies, rather than creating any actual damage.
Ina swinging her tentacles like wheel to destroy every shadows Iroha creates, forcing samurai to retreat.
Lui wearing her orange glasses and use her 'iron wing' power suit.
She is throwing her whip sword at Ina, who stops the attack with her tentacles as both twist their weapon around as if they were playing tug of war.
Ina open a portal above Lui and then the whole concrete pillar is falling on her head, knocking bird woman down.
Chloe using her fourth ocean waves attack and running at Ina'nis with an orca shapes giant wave behind her.
Instead of clashing, Ina simply uses her space magic to disappear in thin air, letting Chloe to crash against the wall.
Lui throwing her whip sword and wrapping it around Ina legs. But Ina using her power to unwrap it before Lui could even start pulling.
Iroha attack again from behind, creating multiple shadows of herself to confuses Ina, Chloe is also jumping at them with her harpoon.
Ina bends the reality and then Chloe and Iroha are crashing with each other instead of her, both girls are being knock down by their own force instead of
enemy attacking.
Lui picked Zeta's assault rifle up and shooting it with one hand, aimed precisely so every bullets are hitting Ina'nis head, Zeta also joins the shooting with her
own pistol.
Ina shrugged the bullets that get in her eye and shooting energy beam from tentacles, combination it into octagon shaped ray, forcing both Lui and Zeta to
dodge it as the big beam create a hole through Akukin hall and running through the whole city.
Koyori pumps a liquid that being creates by Asakoyo and has more temperature than -1000 Celsius degree at Ina's back, trying to froze her.
Ina'nis back look a little bit frozen and shiny, but that is all the liquid could do as she turn her shining eyes to looks at Koyori.
"Not the best idea." Koyori admitted, before being slap away by Ina's tentacles.
Zeta jumps at Ina'nis with her knife, just to being stop by her many tentacles. She struggling to put her knife toward the target as Lui is throwing her empty
assault rifle at the back of Ina head and then start shooting her revolver, but the priestess seems to not feeling the attack at all.
Ina wrapping her tentacle around Zeta neck, but before she could snap. A shining crystal that Zeta is wearing as her necklace grabbed her attention.
It was Ina'nis 'cover' crystal.
Before she will tossed it away under ancient one control.
"Bring this accursed thing away from me!" Ina yelled, loosen her tentacles enough for Zeta to being drops on her feet.
Iroha strike again, this time her sword seems to cut through Ina's body as she is disappearing again.
" Careful!" Iroha warned. " She is hiding somewhere." As everyone start regrouping,
Ina' nis suddenly appears again near Zeta body. She seems to have unfinished business with her.
Lui that can guess where she will appeared, charging at them with full speed with her ' iron wing' suit. She crashes Ina'nis with her elbow with the force that
send both of them slamming against the wall, shattered it.
Lui get up and trying to punch Ina face, but get wrapped and being throw away with her tentacles instead.
Chloe rush in to aid her and grabbing Ina'nis hair, smashing her face on the marble ground and cracking parts of it.
" Chloe! Get out!" Koyori throwing her explosive bottle, let it blows up in Ina face as Chloe is being dragged away by Iroha.
Five of them regroup again, looking for Ina that suddenly disappeared.
" Enough!" Ina yelled, and then everybody suddenly dropped their weapon without knowing. As if their hand were being controlled by something invisible.
" The hell?" Chloe asks, but nobody could answer.
" Stop this meaningless fights. You are now facing something higher up beyond your understanding. Surrender now and I shall grants your wish.
Any kind of them." Ina said as everyone vision is starting to blurred. They were being lost inside their own reveries.
Kazama Iroha
Iroha kneeling in front of her parent graves. She bows her head again and assured them that she will meet them soon.
Samurai opens a small frozen bucket she carries from America and showing her last gift to her death parents.
Ozora Subaru head is being laid on the stone plate as she is offering it to her parent.
After Iroha bow to her father and mother for the last time. She pick up her sword and unsheathes it's blade.
After a long time has passed. It's finally time to join her family.
Sakamata Chloe
Chloe is sitting on her Atlantis throne and eating some tropical fruits that being import from land dwellers place.
Her sister is politely laughing at something their ministers said.
In front of them, Gawr Gura who is now dressing in prisoners' clothes and being hold by balls and chains is standing in front of her.
" Do you really think you can win against me? Gura?
I am thousands time better than you. Now bow down and I will spare you worthless life, or else…" Chloe teased, feel good when seeing Gura lower her gaze
and starting to kneel down.
" That's it. Know your place, peasant."
Couple of Baiji dolphin swimming around her and let Chloe strokes their head.
Chloe has no idea why they're being here, but she glad that they did.
Citizen of Atlantis start saluting at Sakamata Chloe. Ocean emperor, Lord of six oceans. Chloe smiles, she is more than happy right now.
Takane Lui
Lui walking on the pyramid that Mayan tribes had built for her parents. In the ancient time when they were all falling from the star.
Her people losing all they spacefaring technology and has to survive in this jungle along with tribesman that dwelling around them.
After an exchange of civilizations. Mayan concluded that the newcomers were some sort of gods who falling from the sky, helping them build a city,
temple and long pyramid. While also teaching them the art of astrology.
As an exchange. Mayan build a big pyramid for the new ruler from stars to rule them, guiding these humans toward the better tomorrow.
All is going well. Even though some bird people still mourn for the past when they can travel freely, not bounding by this planet gravity and lack of
technology.
But most adapt and live as luxurious as possible on this savage planet where people still killing each other with obsidian spear and wooden club.
Lui remembered her childhood when tribeswoman gave her a ritualistic drink made from mixing of corn and cocoa, a sacred fruit that they use as currency.
One day. Everything just changed.
Maybe it was because mismanagement or a war has gone too far. People rebels, burn the city and smash the statue of bird men they once considered gods.
Lui's parent hide her in the forest, along with some loyalist. But as a head of ancient power. They know that they couldn't simply run away,
every Mayan will not stop until they can get their enemies' heads.
After it was over, bird people bodies have been buried under the abandoned great temple. Before the forest will swallows ancient stone with greeneries in a
few hundred years.
Mayan move themselves away from the ancient city, literally forget about it. No one knows about the city even after European has wiped the Mayan
civilizations out. Leaving everything under the jungle soils.
But Takane Lui never forgets about it.
Right now, she is standing in front of her parents as the Mayan warriors are rushing into the white temple room.
Not a scared little bird anymore, she is a full-grown bird woman with a weapons.
Lui wearing her ' iron wing' body suit. Smashing everyone she finds with her bare hand and whip sword. She told her parents not to be afraid.
Now, it is her turn to protect them. No need to hides anymore.
Hakui Koyori
Koyori never been so happy like this before, her Asakoyo finally grab public attention! People from international organizations are all claps their hand and
looking at her with astonishments.
Koyori cries as she is picking up her golden medal and let people take a photograph of her.
She saw Laplus, Lui, Iroha and Chloe who sit on honorable seats. They are all clapping and crying at her, finally acknowledging Koyori hard works and
genius brain.
" Thank you! Master Laplus, without your funds. I probably…" Koyori stopped. Why is she having a feeling that master Laplus cannot heard her anymore?
She is sitting right there. Smiling and listening.
Koyori shook her heads. Must be a work, that is. Everything is fine and Koyori won't let a feeling of strangeness bothered her any longer.
Vestia Zeta
Zeta picked up her teddy bear and brushing dust from its face. This bear belongs to her, Zeta's parent give it to her as a gift and nothing in the world could
set them apart.
The chaos is rising in the city, people are dying and crying. A cultist who paints their face in black and white color running around and killing everyone they
can find.
Her parents tell Zeta to run, so she run and forgetting everything until she stumbles on the piece of concretes that spread around the street after some of the
building has collapsed.
As Zeta is trying to get up and running again. One cultist walking toward her, scythe ready in hand.
" For the death goddess." He said cheerfully, raises his weapon.
His head being blows into pieces after a loud noise come.
Zeta look at the direction of that sound and seeing a gray hair lion woman shooting her sniper rifle at other targets, blowing their heads off.
Some maniac cultists shouting and running at her, but the spears made by ice flying at them, piercing every cultists Zeta can see.
Blue hair elf jumping on the streets as she is looking around for surviving cultists. There is none.
" I got 50 of them. What about you? Botan." Blue hair elf asks.
" 30 in total. 12 from this rifle. 15 from my claws 3 from my teeth." Botan clarified, reloading her rifle.
Elf laughs. " I told you to thrown that gun powder based weapon away, Botan. It doesn't effective anymore."
" It's my preference." Botan said, reloading her dragunov.
" We has been hunting them for years. But there seems to be no end of these fandead. Do you have any idea why their cults are still exist, Lamy?" Lion
woman change the subject.
Lamy chuckled. " It hard to kill something that already dead. Don't you think?"
" Collect their toe and get the right number. Our boss will want to know their exact numbers." Botan orders.
" It will be easier if you haven't blow their heads off." Lamy complained.
Both woman ignored Zeta as they start cutting cultists toe.
" I am thinking about changing our job." Botan suddenly said.
" I know that head hunter aren't suit us!" Lamy face brighten.
" What kind of job do you have in your mind?" She asks eagerly.
Botan shrugged. " I am thinking of Kiryu family's fleet. I heard that their crew are well paid and they didn't mind work with different race.
Rumor said that aside from dragon leader. There are demon and angel or even sheep man working on the main ship." Botan explains.
" Not bad at all." Lamy admits. " But where is her fleets though?"
" Andromeda Galaxy." Botan finally said after a long silence.
" We don't have enough money to go there!" Lamy warned.
" Yes, which is why we have to working harder." Botan finally cut the last toe and throw it inside her bag.
They seems to finally acknowledge Zeta existence after some time has passed.
" What should we do with her?" Lamy asks, pointing at a little girl who stares blankly at them.
" She is still young. She won't remember us that long. And human won't believe her anyways." Botan shrugged.
" Come on! Let get to our ship." Botan said, Lamy look at Zeta for the last time and thinks she has to give the girl something,
she didn't deserve the horror that surrounding them right now.
" Little girl." Lamy said, creating an ice flower with her magic and put it in Zeta hands.
" Follows its light and you will find your people again. Hurry up before it melts." Lamy said, before she quickly follows Botan, disappear in a blink of eyes.
Zeta looks at the icy flowers. It is shining a blue light, telling her to go somewhere. Zeta gets up and walks where she is being told to do.
…
When she finally finds rescuers. The flower is already melting. But Botan was in the wrong. Some people did believe her.
Zeta then learns that humanity wasn't alone. Lot of being may lurks in the dark and live on their life without human notices for thousands of years.
But thanks to the Alien attack 200 years ago. Now human knows that they weren't alone anymore.
And they are welcoming every possible information about the things they used to shrugged off as a myth or legends.
Zeta then works hard to joins T.S.A.U. ( The Secret Archive Unit.) and working to find what was hiding behind our society.
She knows a lot about those cryptids being during the progress. And could guess her two rescuers' species by now.
Lamy is an elf, some alien civilization that use to thrives around Eurasia, leaving only ruins of their buildings behind.
Botan is a Hunter, some alien that look like mixing between human and earth meat eater mammals.
Some researcher believes that they use to thrives around east Asia. Leaving legend of animal shapeshifter behind.
Oddly enough, Zeta finds no impulse of revenge as she read about and, in some case, even finding those cryptids. She has only awe and wonder,
wanting to know about them more and more.
Cultist of death goddess spreading from the Europe almost 4000 years ago. Their goddess's name is Uruxia or Rushia, up to whom your asks.
Eastern or Western European.
Legend said that she would come every winter nights to collect human soul. Her green hair that has long turn whites by sadness help her to disappeared in
the snow without much of a problem.
But Rushia eyes are still glowing bright red in the dark. Ready to bring death to everyone who dare looking at her.
Zeta investigated with her team, but there is no clue of death goddess whatsoever. So, this cryptid has been dismissed as some ancient version of cabin
fever.
Maybe a long night in the snowstorm actually turns our mind into something unrecognizable.
And to thinks that her parents have to die by this superstition…
Zeta shook her head, everything is in the past. Now she is running out of money and have 7 cats to feed. Which is why she take this job… What job again?
…
Before realizing it, Zeta has woke up from the long dreams.
Ninomae Ina'nis is standing in front her, Necronomicon book in her left hand.
Around her. Lui, Iroha, Koyori and Chloe are all kneeling down toward Ina'nis. Their head touch the floors, losing inside whatever dreams ancient one put
inside their head.
" You are the last one." Ina said at last. " Tell me what you wish. And it shall become true."
Zeta body starting to lower. Why should she resist? Everything is useless now. The world is drowning. And he will awake in any moments.
Before Zeta head could touch the floor. She saws something.
A 'cover' crystal necklace that Zeta wears it as a secondary weapon. It is shining at her face, regard her as one of those hero.
Or whatever the legend says. If this change anything?
Zeta hiding the crystal with her hand. Before looking up again.
" My greatest desires are for my 7 cats to be well fed and healthy. Can you provide grade S tuna for them every days? And free healthcare too.
Same standard as a king."
Ina' nis hesitated for a moment.
" It will become true. If you kneel." She finally said it.
" Okay." Zeta slowly kneel down, but for a second, before her forehead could touch Ina's feet, she suddenly looks up.
" When I actually think about it. What is the point of feeding my cat with other people money?"
Zeta quickly pierced the triangle crystal at Ina's body as if it was a small blade.
Ina'nis scream as the blue crystal shining again, sucking her energy. Necronomicon book floating away from her hand as Ina kneel down,
trying to pull the crystal out of her wound.
Zeta get up and punch Ina face, knocking her down.
" What's happened?" Lui and the rest of HoloX finally woke up from whatever their dreams are.
" The crystal! It could hurt her. We have to be hurried-" before Zeta could said another word. An invisible force suddenly pushing her.
Sending Zeta flying over the hall and hit the building's wall.
" Zeta!" Lui yelled, pick up her revolver.
Ina'nis finally get up again and pull the crystal out of her flesh with telekinesis power. Ready to throws it away.
" Eat sh*t. You maggot!" Koyori throwing her explosive Asakoyo at Ina, creating a big explosive that sending the blue crystal flying upward into the air.
Ina gets up again and swing her tentacles, trying to hit it like a baseball player. But Iroha is already jumping at her, using Nodachi in right hand to block
the tentacles.
While hitting the crystal with katana in her left hand. Send the crystal flying out of Ina'nis reaching.
Ancient one priestess opens a portal in front of the crystal, ready to throw it away as far as possible.
Chloe jumping above them all and use her fifth ocean waves, creating hundreds of water blades and aiming them to flying at Ina'nis who has to turn her
attention to the attack and blocking it with her energy shield. The blue crystal disappears in the storm of blade that blocking Ina's views.
Lui quickly get up. Her power suit is running out of energy, but she still has one weapon left.
.500 magnum aiming at the blue crystal that is falling by gravity as the water blade is gone. Lui shoots, sending bullet running through the air and hit the
crystal, pushing it forward with the force.
The crystal flying above Ina head for almost 1 meter. Priestess turn her head toward Lui to laugh, before realizing that the 'cover' crystal is flying straight at
the Necronomicon book that flying above her head.
" No!" Ina yelled, but it was too late. The crystal sinks it the book page, sucking energy from it. An then everything starting to fade.
The picture of past, present and future, monster and flooded city, all of them start become blurry like a fog that being hit by sunlight.
Ina screams in agony and using last bit of her energy to aim her tentacles cannon at Lui, trying to blast with the last of her power.
Koyori appears out of nowhere and hit Ina's head from behind with crowbar, knocking her out.
" So, this is how you feel bonking someone." Coyote girl shrugged.
" Not bad after all."
The book shining for the last time as the energy start flying from Ina unconscious body to it.
The book then falling on the ground and start melting, as the monstrous scream can be heard coming out of it.
Nobody dares enough to tried get close enough to observe what it is.
In a few minutes the book is gone, disappear from our existence. Leaving only blue crystal and Ina'nis unconscious body to dropping on the floor.
" So, did we win?" Chloe asks, Lui shook her head.
" No idea. Let check her first." She then walking toward Ina'nis and gently shook her shoulder.
" Ninomae Ina'nis. Can you wake up? Breathing or talking. Anything to tell me that you are still with us." Chloe raising her harpoon and Iroha unsheathed her
sword, while Koyori aiming her flamethrower as they saw Ina'nis starting to move.
" Can I do it tomorrow?" Ina asks as she opens her eyes.
It is not an inhuman shining eyes anymore, just a normal wearily girl who just woke up from the long bad dream.
" She is fine. I think." Lui finally smiles. Everybody starting to relax and lower their weapons.
" Wait, What about Zeta?" Chloe asks and they quickly running toward a girl who lays in silence at the other side of the hall.
Zeta slowly woke up when they are surrounding her and checking agent's condition.
" I think I broke my ribs!" She winces as Koyori is touching her body.
Coyote girl nodded. " Yes. Let hope that it is not pierce through your internal organ, or else we will need to surgery you really quick."
" Didn't know you were a doctor." Zeta trying to joke as Chloe lifted her up easily and carry injured girl with them, while Iroha is carrying Ina'nis on her back.
Lui give her a ' cover' crystal, but Zeta shook her head. " It's belong to her." She gestures at Ina'nis.
" Let she take it back as soon as possible. Or who know what else will happen."
So, they quickly wrapping crystal around Ina's neck and walking out of the room.
After getting out, they were surprised that officer and ambulance is already surrounded this building. There seem to be no sightings of tentacles monster
that creeps around Seattle anymore.
So, they give Zeta and Ina to the first ambulance they found, the one that has Akukin Logo on it.
" Do I have to ride the same car with someone who just broke my ribs?" Zeta point at unconscious Ina and laughing when everyone looks at her.
" Just joking. So, this is our farewell then."
" We will met again." Lui nodded, and without other word four of them start walking away and disappear in the dark alleyway.
Zeta sighed in relief after checking money in her bank accounts.
It seems that Subaru has double the money they have agreed as a gift for her injuries. Zeta has no objections for that.

" So, It is the end?" Iroha uses small piece of iron to draw a picture of fat raccoon at Akukin logo on the building, very un-samurai acts.
" We still have office, and money." Lui open her bank account.
" Let's go and eat some bingsu. I will pay for everyone." Bird lady finally feel that she has enough money to do this after a long years of working under Laplu.
" Really? I want strawberry flavored!" Chloe already running ahead with giant salamander tank in her arms.

" What's the matter. Iroha?" Lui asks when seeing Iroha look at the crow who is now pecking at the bin, looking for food.
" I think we forget something." Iroha replied.
Lui think for a moment, before shaking her head.
" If we forget about it. Then it doesn't important. Let's go, bingsu is waiting." She clapped samurai shoulder.
" I guess so." Iroha turns her head back to the place where everyone is running at, toward light of the street night, leaving dark alleyways behinds.
