V-2631 wordlessly took notes on the experiment she was ordered to oversee, how a creature created from the remains of her predecessor unit V-2630 would react to when exposed to various extreme conditions. So far the creature had managed to 'survive' temperatures far below zero, and above 1850 degrees, that is if one ignored the sounds of agony the creature was giving out. Such as herself as she dared not to let even the slightest hint of sympathy or horror show lest it shorten her ticking countdown before she to would inevitably have her body recycled, after the vivisection that result in her death. V-2631 heard the doors to the lab open, she dared not turn away from the experiment as she already knew her was walking in, as well to avoid drawing unneeded ire from the slightest bit of inefficiency that would ensure her coming death was slightly closer then it already was
"V-2631 report the results you have recorded from the test subject" Cruor Hemis her 'mother' her creator ordered not asked, returning to the lab after whatever she had gone out to do
"Yes Lady Cruor" V-2361 stated robotically as she reported the observations she had reported
"Hmmmm... Good, results are within expected parameters" Cruor Hemis stated coldly before looking at her "V-2361 I shall be generous and allow you a rest of 1 and half hours, afterwards I shall require assistance in experimenting on some biomaterial I have 'procured' from another Dark Magical Girl" Cruor Hemis ordered
V-2361 bowed to her creator before exiting the lab. As she walked as quickly as she could without drawing Cruor's ire to her room. Whatever she had stolen must've put her in a good mood to allow an full hour more of rest then usual. She dared not to speak the foolish notion of what if the Magical Girl Cruor had no doubt stolen her newest materials from. So as to ensure Cruor would not revoke her generosity, and because V-2361 knew the even mere thought that anyone could defeat her creator was an absolute impossibility. The Magical Girl if she came would challenge Cruor Hemis and without doubt be defeated utterly and have her body used in whatever experiment Cruor came up with.
Eventually V-2361 arrived at the 'room' Cruor Hemis was generous enough to provide to all her V series assistants, through to call the closet like space with a bed just barely large enough to fit her, a small fold out tray that passed as her table, and toilet was an misdemeanor. But still V-2361 accepted it for what it was. As she was resigned to her fate of one day becoming Cruor's newest test subject who would be replaced by her successor V-2362, who would in turn inevitably be replaced by V-2363, then V-2364 and so on and so on until Cruor would move onto the W series. With that she would waste no more time of her given rest and plopped herself onto the bed and closed her eyes...

V-2361 was roused from her slumber by a explosion, that caused her to bolt up from her bed. With eyes wide she looked the at current time a clock built into the wall of her room said... '30 minutes!?" Came her incredulous thought, she had been asleep for 30 minutes and in that time Cruor's base had come under attack, by who?
Following the sounds of the fighting, V-2361 came to the damaged doors leading to Cruor Hemis' private scutum, pushing the door open ever so slightly what V-2361 saw would haunt her for the rest of her likely short days.
Cruor Hemis her creator the invincible being that would eventual end her life with casualness of eating bread was utterly defeated, being held up by her neck by the no doubt responsible, as her blood flowed onto the floor, a testament to the bodymods Cruor had done to herself letting her live after her entire lower and some organs had been reduced to a bloody pulp. V-2361 could not believe what she was witnessing, Cruor must've been amusing her attacker and was no doubt waiting for the moment to turn the tables... But that moment never came as the Attacker held Cruor up higher after saying something she did not catch... and annihilated her in a bloody explosion that left Cruor's arms as her only remaining pieces.
Then the Attacker looked over in her direction, and in a blink of an eye was forcing the door open as she stared V-2361 with a gaze that promised only death as the Attacker held up her fist and swung it no doubt aiming to reduce her head to a bloody smear, as V-2361 screamed for her life...

"AHHHH!" Valerie formerly known as V-2361 and now called Sanguine Descent screamed as she bolted up from her nightmare, as she took deep breathes to calm herself as she gazed around her room that had once been Cruor Hemis' private bedchamber. Finally managing to calm herself down Valerie went to fetch herself a drink of water, "Strange why would I be dreaming of that night?" she mumbled to herself, as she looked back on the events of the day that given her freedom.
The Dark Magical Girl that Cruor had stolen materials from truly did launch her retaliation and contrary to her belief back then, it was Cruor who had been to die, her creator had been reduced to a bloody smear by the one she had stolen materials from. Void Heart, as she would eventually learn the name of the who had killed Cruor. Void Heart was one she admired for ending her 'mother' and giving her freedom. Void Heart was her new greatest terror from the horrible she had inflicted onto her 'mother' and the gnawing horror that she may one day come after her and her 'sisters' to truly end Cruor Hemis legacy.
reaching the kitchen Valerie poured out some water to drink before grabbing herself some cookies. She had found she liked sweet things sometime after Cruor's demise.
Munching on the cookies Valerie looked back on the events of the day, she had taken on a contract that many others were calling suicidal, she had scoffed at Infinity Princesses no doubt overblown reputation. She was no doubt a skilled Magical Girl and was sure people were just overestimating her. Besides... "I doubt she could ever defeat her..." Valerie muttered to herself as she shivered at the thought of Void Heart. Shaking her head Valerie thought on the contract 'A billion credits divvied up in three ways is 333 million, more then enough to pay off Cruor's debts and maintain her labs and my sisters with it' Valerie thought to herself, as she needed to make this work to truly ensure her independence as well as that of her sisters still growing their tubes.
But a single thought of unease entered her mind 'Why do I feel that dream was a sign of what was to come?"
So reading how Valerie is terrified of Alice decided to write up an omake, I'm kinda hoping ends up canon?
