Xaizor: God freaking damnit, Rayla and her stupid secrets... can't she trust people enough to tell them what she's going to do?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/O79Qkcn.png[/img]
Marina: I am pretty sure she would have told Miss Tiane if this was a matter comfortable to her. Let us understand that Miss Rayla has her privacies as well.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/cZHCl2X.png[/img]
Xaizor: Sheesh, fine... still, she'd better have a good explanation for this. I don't like her keeping us out of it all the times.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/DEL0dJO.png[/img]
Marina: I would rather not question her too much.

[i]Kaito and Lucent helped Jin to put Veigas and Agito at one single place. With his power, he created a sealing field with magatamas in order to block all escapes from those two.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/2ljnxNw.png[/img]
Jin: There. I've sealed both with some magatamas. They can't leave even through portals.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/FbEGXXX.png[/img]
Kaito: Great. Now they won't escape this time.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4CNGJSh.png[/img]
Marina: Well, that is good to know, but we still need to go to school. How are we handling these two?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/aDMgjm8.png[/img]
Jin: There's some sorta... uh, Guild around here, right? They're like the police, right?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/DzNjiXy.png[/img]
Kaito: Even better than the police, I can tell you that much. You're taking them there?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/rIPqrIP.png[/img]
Jin: I think so. It's better than wait until someone calls for help. Besides, I need to get a better feeling of the neighborhood too, since I've arrived just recently.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img]
Lucent: I-I'll go with you then.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/MIg8AJP.png[/img]
Kaito: Wait, you can't just skip school! You've done that far too much!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/9W2NWsK.png[/img]
Lucent: Kaito, someone needs to explain how this works to the people of the Guild. I'm the only one of us who can right now.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/52UX4We.png[/img]
Xaizor: Oh yeah, you're like them, right? A Nightmare Demon.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/83cdpUp.png[/img]
Lucent: H-Half-blood...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/nejBcc1.png[/img]
Jin: In that case, we should get moving. I'll take you to school and explain it to the teachers.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vxiyQ0o.png[/img]
Marina: In that case, allow me to accompany you.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/iDnx3oc.png[/img]
Xaizor: Hold up, YOU'RE going to skip school?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/jqyoftR.png[/img]
Marina: It is for a good reason. We need to understand more about these Nightmares and if Mister Lucent can clarify somethings, I wish to be present at the moment.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/tqfHLBg.png[/img]
Kaito: I guess it wouldn't be bad. I mean, out of all of us here, Marina's the smartest.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vBu3sm4.png[/img]
Xaizor: You telling me I'm dumb, Kaito?! Well, only a dumb calls other a dumb!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Eg3fEYy.png[/img]
Kaito: That's not the issue and I included myself, dumbass!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/FY8nGxE.png[/img]
Jin: *sigh* If I let you skip, your father and Reimu will grind me at the ground. I'm sorry, Marina, but you can't go along.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/kHFM33k.png[/img]
Marina: Even so, I insist. I will explain myself to Reimu and to my father, eventually. Please Sir Jin, you must let me go along you!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/3jccryV.png[/img]
Lucent: ... I... I want Marina to come too.

[i]After the insistence, Jin sighed and decided to let Marina come along him and Lucent.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/9JgZltw.png[/img]
Jin: OK, fine, you can come too...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6w6BHBb.png[/img]
Marina: Thank you very much, Sir Jin!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/5Ni8MqY.png[/img]
Kaito: Then we'll head back to school and leave this to you guys. Sounds good to you?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/FZgkrmM.png[/img]
Xaizor: Sure, I guess... I kinda want to skip too, though...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/bE6Whmo.png[/img]
Jin: Don't you dare! I'm beating you up if you do!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/0A4VIEH.png[/img]
Xaizor: O-OK, dude... sheesh...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img]
Kaito: We should be heading to school then. Tiane, you coming?

Rasel: How pathetic... really, humans are so easy to trick...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/EMl2V8O.png[/img]
Mia: You will take that back!

[i]Mia charged forward at Rasel. She defended with her parasol and began clashing blows against Mia and her shield.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/rivlYJ4.png[/img]
Rasel: Well, your persistence will take you only somewhere. If you stop now, I shall give you another chance.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/h5ZefdM.png[/img]
Mia: I will die before giving up at the hands of my foe, whoever it is!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Z1LyeEi.png[/img]
Rasel: Then feel free to enjoy death, worm!

[i]Rasel went with a thrust attack once more. However, Mia evaded it and activated the [b]Pulsar[/b] function of Aegis, releasing a wave that threw the demon off-balance.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/1kbMPTz.png[/img]
Rasel: H-Huh?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/EMl2V8O.png[/img]
Mia: [b]Rising Valkyrie[/b]!

[i]Mia attacked with an uppercut using the Aegis, sending Rasel to the sky. She then looked at Yomi.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/gxY7PLX.png[/img]
Mia: If you wish to finish her off, there is your opening!

[b][i][u]Location: Fon Ventorian Mansion - Front Gate to Main Hall[/u][/i][/b]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/p3g4Ikw.png[/img]
Astra: Well, thank you. We'll do just that.

[i]Astra, Lass and Roger went past the front gate and inside the mansion. There, they stood at the main hall, just as instructed.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/PiECKgX.png[/img]
Astra: Hmhm, I'm feeling rather curious about this alliance they wish to form.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1ujjy1O.png[/img]
Lass: Of all things, they decided to call upon an assassin organization. This must be pretty important or else they wouldn't call.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/F2kxdSI.png[/img]
Astra: We're not some rogues, so maybe that's why they called us. Like you said, our group's "connection" with one of this city's big threats is not some joke.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/9thILGj.png[/img]
Roger: By the by, who do you think that called us here? I mean, there's a boss to this Resistance thing, right?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ouhTiNv.png[/img]
Lass: Roger, weren't you doing some missions with the Intelligence force yesterday? You should be able to know that.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/yNl6voB.png[/img]
Roger: Yeah, but that doesn't mean they gave me the juice.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/8uv3TCL.png[/img]
Lass: *sigh* You lack discipline. A LOT of discipline.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/W23nNSu.png[/img]
Astra: Enough, you two. This party's host will be greeting us soon.

[hider=Lilina's Resolution and Introduction: The Missing Victim]
[b][i][u]Location: World Crossers Guild - Main Hall[/u][/i][/b]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/6jz3hI1.png[/img]
Lilina: I see. I want to understand it too. Its full function, who made it... and why me.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7iCdopA.png[/img]
5T: ... Perhaps it was a sign of protection. Luckily, you and some of the other victims had this luck of having people to protect you.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/MUfCkX4.png[/img]
Lilina: Huh? What do you mean, Quill?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Tb6SS8l.png[/img]
5T: I mean that we doubled our attention to the Psychics because we lost one of you. 

[b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhMnxjIaTfw]Reverie[/url]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/r2xUJMz.png[/img]
Lilina: Y-You mean... one of us was fully captured?!

[img]https://i.imgur.com/0QLvW6v.png[/img]
[i]5T nodded at Lilina's question. His Pod floated right next to him, opened his hatch and shown an holografic image of a young man, around Lilina's age or even younger.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/38jFnIs.png[/img]
Lilina: T-That is...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/JUZWKZU.png[/img]
5T: [b]Willard Moonshine[/b]. Resident of Unitia, living at the Winter District. Possible candidate for being a Psychic, like you. Captured by DUST.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1xkB4lt.png[/img]
Heather: No... then he's with them now...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vZuxZhB.png[/img]
5T: Unfortunately, yes. We don't know where they took him. Our searches in that account, by far, led us to nowhere. He's been gone for at least three months.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/b7F2Hy2.png[/img]
Lilina: Willard... he must be suffering so much right now... if only we had a clue...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/hVnYWsK.png[/img]
5T: We haven't found one yet. Worse thing is that his entire family died.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Ab0hoaZ.png[/img]
Heather: D-Died?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Tb6SS8l.png[/img]
5T: The perpetrators didn't leave a single one of them alive. He was an only son, living alone with his mother, Maribella Moonshine. Her injuries, however, were fatal and she didn't survive.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/WYIYmuh.png[/img]
5T: Both the Guild and the Holy Order are trying the best they can to find him. Neither side did stumble upon a clue, though.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/PZhB0g2.png[/img]
Heather: That's so cruel. They took the boy away and killed the only family he had...!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/g9IEQQT.png[/img]
Lilina: ... Willard...

[i]The thought of Willard being tortured by their experiments reminded Lilina of her nightmare. Could she have possibly see him there? Was he also suffering like she was? It didn't matter[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/8ds0XqO.png[/img]
Lilina: I won't let this stay as it is.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/lre1DLG.png[/img]
Heather: Lilina?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4x9mL0v.png[/img]
Lilina: I will find Willard and bring him back. He deserves to be free of them, just like most of us are today. Whatever pain he has, whatever sorrow he holds, I'll shed the light on him. I'll give him hope again!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1t0c4Vz.png[/img]
Lilina: And I won't let it happen with someone else. No more victims will fall into their hands. I won't let this repeat over and over anymore. I swear it!
