An unnamed world in the adventure Universe…
The battle was winding down as flower heart let down on the ground. All around, human the siege to a flower town, gaining ground against the dark of flower soldiers. The path of dead crystal trailed from the flower ruin, through the halls of the flowering castle, ending at the steps of a spring throne, with a towering flower crystal slumped onto it, broken profusely. Facing there were twelve crystals, each with their own weapons. The one in the front held a broadsword as he approached the flower girl.
First Crystal
Rose
"Lost humans…" the flower girl snarled through their injuries. "You dare raise your hands against a superior creature?"
"You are not superior." The crystal replied. "You are a flower who rejected the light of Crystal. Now your life is forfeit."
"Who are you judge me? I am Snow Flower, I'm a Flower Spring, and I-" the flower attemped to declare, before one of the crystals pointed a pistol at one of their horns and fired, shooting it off.
Second Crystal
Haru
"That's enough out of you, flower jerk." the offending crystal girl said. "Rose, go ahead and finish it."
The crystal girl named Rose nodded as he stood in front of the flower girl, lifting his broadsword. "When your damn flower returns to crystal flower seeds…let them know this: The Flowering Crystal lives." He told the flower before he swung his blade.
The flower girl's head fell to the ground, the body collapsing at the foot of the throne. The flower crystal seeds from the crystal.
"Did he have any extra lives?" Rose asked.
"No. He spent the one he had to survive our first battle in Ougawa." a third crystal, this one wielding a scythe, spoke. "That scum is gone for good."
Third Crystal
Naruka
With a rod a acknowledgement, Rose turned around, flicking the seeds off his sword. "Call it in, then. We have the victory."
Later, in a ship orbitng the planet, the twelve crystal gathered around a table.
"Well, that's the first Flower Spring we've killed." Rose remarked as he looked over a pad displaying information. "What's more, with the recruits we've gained from Sunflower, we now have 1,000,000 troops in total, all across 10,000 ships to make up the new Vainglorious Armada. Add the 100,000 heave assault vehicles, and I'd say we're doing the best we've done since the end of the last crystal."
"Well, congratulations to us." a crystal with two knives sheathed at his sides clapped. "We've managed to gat back…to one percent of our original numbers."
Twelfth Ocean
Marine
"Marine, please. I know it's not much, but-"
"But nothing. It would take us decades to get back to a point where we could restart the crystal, and that's being optimistic." Marine pointed out. "We have to face the facts; without the Vice princesses, we're never going to complete our mission of total flower extermination."
"Marine has a point." A crystal who has a bow resting on the table agreed. "There's only so much we can do. Even with the armies and fleets we've amassed, we've only been doing mercenary work. That's nowhere near the level of what the Crystal was before Flower Rose's death."
Fourth Ocean
Sarah
"And Flower Rose was to blame for it and a lot of problems. Cause of his leadership, the Crystal has released Flower Springs from their confined world into the entire Flower Universe, unleashed the Ice Flower. and got the whole group nearly eliminated by Team Solar and Team Heroes." a crystal holding a magical wand said.
Fifth Ocean
Tori
"And yet, we wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as we were it not for him." Marine pointed out "If I may be so bold, it's only matter of time before someone decides we're getting too big and wipes us out completely."
"Well then, what do you suggest we do?" a crystal with a regular sword and shield asked.
Sixth Ocean
Kaori
Before Marine could answer, the door opened and a knight crystal raced into the room.
"Oceans! There is news!" the knight said, clearly shocked. "Lady Flower Rose…he's returned!"
"What? That's impossible." a knight with a staff leaning on his chair said. "Flower Rose is gone for good."
Seventh Ocean
Hanaka the Crystal Magical
"Well, according to our sources, he was seen a mere few hours ago, escaping from the Spring Town." the crystal said, as he set a holorecording on the table and played it, showing the Flower-Spring of Light flying through the Lanes between. "Oceans, should we retrieve him?"
"…No, not yet." Rose spoke, surprising the other knights. "We still have two mission in our back burner."
"The Time Looped world and the lost Flower?" Tori asked.
"Correct. I propose we split into two teams. I will take Tori, Sarah, Fuyuki, Itsuki and Hanaka to the Crystal City to hunt the Sunflower. Haru, you and the others will go to the time looping world to liberate it. Several of our allies will assist you." Rose said.
"And what of Lady Flower Rose?" Sarah asked.
"If Flower wills it…then he will come." Rose said as the knights got up from their seats. "May the Light watch over you, my sisters."
"And you as well, Rose." Haru nodded as the knights left to begin their assingments.
