The joining of Marilee, Barry and Saika was proof that the Resistance was serious about a deal with the Black Moon. Even though they were dealing with the leader of the other group, Astra just sounded as friendly as ever.


Astra: So the host appears at last. It's our pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Lass: Still, to think that we were found... are we lacking somewhere?

Astra: Underground finds underground pretty easily. I'm not surprised at all.

Lass: So? What's this alliance you wish to form-

Astra: Whoa, whoa, chill, chill. There's no need to be so direct about something that we already know, Lass.

Roger: I don't get it. We know about the terms?

Lass: Astra, what do you mean? The invitation didn't speak anything about the terms.

Astra: Think about it. Why would the Resistance, of all things, would decide to form an alliance with the Black Moon?

*BGM stops*


Lass: ...! You don't mean...?

Astra: Stories run around like leaves on the wind. Don't be so surprised like that, it's unfitting.

Astra: Both sides don't have a lot of time in our hands with idle banter, but perhaps a reminder is in due set. Care to tell us the terms of our deal, miss?

Veronica: Ooooh, sounds mystic! I wanna see it!

Auror: ...
Maki: Auror.

Maki soon appeared and joined them. She seemed in a hurry.


Veronica: Good and pretty morning, Miss Maki! I hope this day is being spectacular-

Maki: Not right now, Veronica. Auror, I need to talk with you right now.

Auror: ... Sure. I guess there was something I wanted to talk with you too.

Maki: Then let's go. You can finish your chat with them later.

Maki left and went inside the school.


Sayaka: She... she's kinda scary, isn't she? She's never smiling and is mostly cold.

Veronica: Y-Yeah... but I still think she's really cool too.

Auror: Well, I'm taking my leave before Maki ends up on her bad side against me. Have fun with your trip, guys.

Veronica: Big Bro, where's my good day kiss?

Auror: Yeah, you'll have to go without it today. Sorry.

Auror left as well, going after Maki.


Sayaka: Vivi, did something happen with Auror? He's usually so cheerful... seeing him like this is strange.

Veronica: He had a nightmare, but he didn't tell me what was it. He's keeping secrets today and I don't like it.

Fuindor joined them and dragged Doremy with him. He put her right next Rasel.


Mia: I shall be taking them with me to the Holy Order's base. They will stay there under arrest.

Fuindor: Uh, I don't wanna butt in, but what do you think they really meant with the whole "dream eating" stuff?

Mia: We will be discovering that once the interrogation begins.

Fuindor: Alright. Wait, "we"?

Mia: Yes, "we". You two shall be accompanying me to the Holy Order for civilian safety procedure.

Fuindor saw that Mia was referring to him and Fear Mace.


Fuindor: Eh?! But I'm in a hurry!

Mia: Whatever you have to do right know will wait for a while. Even though you two are able to fight, you are still civilians and were involved in a dangerous incident.

Mia: Besides, that'll have to happen so our communications with the Guild about the incident and your safety won't be dissonant. Any objections, officer Lindis?

With Hinata getting downstairs and greeting the team, Astra recognized her while Roger and Lass didn't.


Lass: Is she the one who called us here?

Astra: Hardly, but nice seeing someone that I met here. I thought we'd have a waltz filled with strangers today.

Lass: Jokes aside, how many people do you know, Astra?

Astra: When you live a civilian life like mine and get out of the suburbs for once, you get to meet some nice people outside. People that aren't like us, if you get my point.

Roger: But how did you meet her, Master? We don't ususally team up with anyone, so I wonder-

Astra: Just walking around, gathering intel and we bumped on each other in the way. More than once, actually.

Lass: You don't fear the danger of getting discovered by people?

Astra: The thrill is enjoyable to me. Besides, if she's here, she's in the Resistance. I doubt that our names didn't run through at all.

Astra then turned to Hinata. He smiled without any problems.


Astra: But answering your question, Miss Hinata, we were called here by your boss. She requested our services for a rather interesting deal between our groups, to say so the least.

Astra: So let me present these two. Let's start with Roger. He's one of our disciples, being one of the least incompetent ones. He was hanging around with Kev yesterday, though I feel he wasn't too much of an aid, more so like a bother. Oh, and don't worry if he didn't remember you, he was probably drooling over some random guy in the street.

Roger: Yes, yes, I got it already, Master...

Astra: Next up, we have Lass, who goes by the codename of Avenger. He's quite a looker, but he's frigid as an iceberg sometimes. I don't know any other skilled swordsman. Also, he's my trustworthy partner.

Lass: Hmph.

Astra: And there's me, the little old Astra you bumped sometimes. I go by the codename of Vampire. With Lass, I'm one of the founders of the Black Moon. Heard about it, perhaps?

Location: Spring Zone - Streets


Kaito: Alright. C'mon Xaizor, let's go.

Xaizor: Whatever, I can have SOME fun at school...

Xaizor, Kaito and Tiane left for the school. Jin grabbed the unconscious and sealed Veigas and Agito, carrying them in one arm each.


Jin: So, where are we headed?

Lucent: I-I think it's... this way...?

Jin: I don't like when people sound unsure about directions. We can't afford to get lost or they'll wake up.

Lucent: ... I... I-I never... went there, actually.

Marina: Let us just ask for directions then. We will end up there soon enough.

Marina looked around, searching for someone that could answer her question. Once she saw someone, she asked them about the Guild.


Marina: Excuse me, mister. We are a bit lost. Can you tell us where the Guild is?

???: The Guild? It's that way. Just go along with this street.

Marina: Why, thank you. I do hope you have a good day.

Marina: Lucent, Sir Jin, it is this way, alongside this street.

Jin and Lucent followed Marina as she went along. However, the young man just looked as they left curiously.


???: (Wait. Did she just say...?)

As Theo, Kaori, Himika and Hina were at the front gate, the Intermezzo limousine arrived. Only Veronica, Sayaka and Auror were inside of it though, as the three of them got out.


Veronica: Good and pretty morning! I hope this day started spectacular to you!

Sayaka: Good morning, everyone.

Auror: ...

Veronica: Big Bro, you have to greet people when you see them! C'mon!

Auror: Morning... I guess...

Veronica: Geez, stop being such a downer! C'mon, smile!

Veronica went ahead and tried to force a smile out of Auror with her hands. Once she was done, she backed off.


Veronica: There! Now that's more like you!

Auror: *breaks smile off* I don't feel like smiling right now, Vivi...

Veronica: Aw, come on! Just smile already!

Sayaka: Hmm?

Sayaka looked at Himika and Hinamori, not recognizing them.


Sayaka: I don't seem to recognize you two. Are you two new students?

Veronica: Oh hi, Himika! How have you been doing? It's been months since we last saw each other!

Mana's attack was right on target. Rasel took the hit and fell down as well.


Rasel: Defeated... by humans... this is... such a joke...

With her fall, the wall dividing both sides broke apart and soon they were all reunited.

Xaizor: God freaking damnit, Rayla and her stupid secrets... can't she trust people enough to tell them what she's going to do?!

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.

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.

Marina: I would rather not question her too much.

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.


Jin: There. I've sealed both with some magatamas. They can't leave even through portals.

Kaito: Great. Now they won't escape this time.

Marina: Well, that is good to know, but we still need to go to school. How are we handling these two?

Jin: There's some sorta... uh, Guild around here, right? They're like the police, right?

Kaito: Even better than the police, I can tell you that much. You're taking them there?

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.

Lucent: I-I'll go with you then.

Kaito: Wait, you can't just skip school! You've done that far too much!

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.

Xaizor: Oh yeah, you're like them, right? A Nightmare Demon.

Lucent: H-Half-blood...

Jin: In that case, we should get moving. I'll take you to school and explain it to the teachers.

Marina: In that case, allow me to accompany you.

Xaizor: Hold up, YOU'RE going to skip school?!

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.

Kaito: I guess it wouldn't be bad. I mean, out of all of us here, Marina's the smartest.

Xaizor: You telling me I'm dumb, Kaito?! Well, only a dumb calls other a dumb!

Kaito: That's not the issue and I included myself, dumbass!

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.

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!

Lucent: ... I... I want Marina to come too.

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


Jin: OK, fine, you can come too...

Marina: Thank you very much, Sir Jin!

Kaito: Then we'll head back to school and leave this to you guys. Sounds good to you?

Xaizor: Sure, I guess... I kinda want to skip too, though...

Jin: Don't you dare! I'm beating you up if you do!

Xaizor: O-OK, dude... sheesh...

Kaito: We should be heading to school then. Tiane, you coming?

Rasel: How pathetic... really, humans are so easy to trick...

Mia: You will take that back!

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


Rasel: Well, your persistence will take you only somewhere. If you stop now, I shall give you another chance.

Mia: I will die before giving up at the hands of my foe, whoever it is!

Rasel: Then feel free to enjoy death, worm!

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


Rasel: H-Huh?!

Mia: Rising Valkyrie!

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


Mia: If you wish to finish her off, there is your opening!

Location: Fon Ventorian Mansion - Front Gate to Main Hall


Astra: Well, thank you. We'll do just that.

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


Astra: Hmhm, I'm feeling rather curious about this alliance they wish to form.

Lass: Of all things, they decided to call upon an assassin organization. This must be pretty important or else they wouldn't call.

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.

Roger: By the by, who do you think that called us here? I mean, there's a boss to this Resistance thing, right?

Lass: Roger, weren't you doing some missions with the Intelligence force yesterday? You should be able to know that.

Roger: Yeah, but that doesn't mean they gave me the juice.

Lass: *sigh* You lack discipline. A LOT of discipline.

Astra: Enough, you two. This party's host will be greeting us soon.

Lilina's Resolution and Introduction: The Missing Victim

Location: World Crossers Guild - Main Hall


Lilina: I see. I want to understand it too. Its full function, who made it... and why me.

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.

Lilina: Huh? What do you mean, Quill?

5T: I mean that we doubled our attention to the Psychics because we lost one of you.

BGM: Reverie


Lilina: Y-You mean... one of us was fully captured?!


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.


Lilina: T-That is...

5T: Willard Moonshine. Resident of Unitia, living at the Winter District. Possible candidate for being a Psychic, like you. Captured by DUST.

Heather: No... then he's with them now...

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.

Lilina: Willard... he must be suffering so much right now... if only we had a clue...

5T: We haven't found one yet. Worse thing is that his entire family died.

Heather: D-Died?!

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.

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.

Heather: That's so cruel. They took the boy away and killed the only family he had...!

Lilina: ... Willard...

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


Lilina: I won't let this stay as it is.

Heather: Lilina?

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!

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!

Agito took the hit and fell down on the ground. It was really strong and he couldn't handle it.


Xaizor: Alright! He's down!

Marina: Now we just need to wait for Mister Lucent and Mister Kaito.

Kaito and Lucent were also close to finishing Veigas. He tried to shoot dark orbs, but Kaito always managed to close the distance.


Veigas: Tch... this can't be...!! I'm losing to them...?!

Kaito: Hehe! Now for the final blow!

Lucent: Kaito, step back. I'll do this.

Kaito: Wait, what?!

Lucent: Just do as I tell you!

Lucent opened his spellbook and its pages began to flip on its own. His aura rose, making Kaito finally step back.


Veigas: This aura... no, it can't be...!!

Lucent: Forbidden Nightmare! Deus Ex: Corrupted Discharge!

The land changed once again and it felt as if they weren't in Unitia anymore. Behind Lucent, a spider-like machine stood, with a lot of screens. Its gears began to spin as thunder charged in the beast. Once fully charged, he released a powerful thunder beam on Veigas, who couldn't resist and was taken down.

*BGM ends*


Veigas: No... way...

Veigas falls down and finally gives in.


Lucent: ...

Lass: Stop daydreaming the obvious and let's go.

The three of them approached the mansion, as the guards were standing by. Astra took the letter off and showed to them.

@MagusDream
Only to find that it was going to be a while. The Nazi extermination party was going last. She shook her head. "Hurry up and wait." She said ruefully as she followed after the bothers. "No need to rush there, edgemaster, we're all headed to the same place." She called out after Ignito. That dude reminded her of her own brother, and she couldn't help but grin. "Seriously though, good luck boys. Watch out for those black coats." She said to the other two.

@Gentlemanvaultboy

"... What leaves me glad is that we are not going to the same mission. If I had to hear you call me 'edgemaster' again..." Ignitio spoke, as they reach the Gummi Shuttle. "Can you please be a good sport and say 'good luck' to the rest?" Agni questioned. "As if I cared about their lives at all." Ignitio answered, going inside the shuttle. "Just... ignore him. Don't let his attitute go over to your head, it's not worth it." Agni said to Georgia, extending it a little to the rest. Cooperation with Ignitio would be next to impossible.

When Tocsax said that one of the groups would be going to Britain, Hirutila burst out laughing uncontrollably.

"Britain!?" he said between his fits of laughter. "Oh, I don't envy you.".

Britain was the worst of places in the already savage continent of Europe. The people ran around hairy and naked, living in mud and straw houses and herding sheep and cattle. The men all had 7 or 8 wives, and they sacrificed children and prisoners of war to their gods in giant wicker men by setting the structure on fire. Or so he had been told, he had never actually once set foot on Britain. Though he imagined that even if the British here were different, they still had to be savages, same with the Germans they were about to meet. In his head, he imagined Europe as being just as backward and primitive as his own homeland. The people must be living out of metal shacks in villages. He would have to see. And with that, he boarded after the others, waiting for the arrival in Berlin.

@Nerevarine

Victor found that weird. First, wasn't it England? Or rather, United Kingdom? Also, he had visited there with Agni before. It wasn't a bad place, it was common like everywhere else... expect for the part that England was separated from the Catholic Church. They've adopted another dogma nowhere near to the catholics, so they were a separated power. "But England is so nice! I like the atmosphere of England! They have some of the best harps on sale back in my world." Victor innocently commented to Hirutila. He forgot they came for different worlds so maybe his England wasn't the same as the one he knew.

The Next Day
@MagusDream

Asher awoke bright and early that morning, feeling more refreshed than ever. He supposed he would have to thank Usagi the next time they met. After taking a mental note of that, the rogue began to go through his daily routine of making sure every piece of equipment he had on his person was in working order. Considering he used next to nothing in the past day, this check went by as fast as he anticipated it would. After taking care of that, he departed from his quarters, and made his way to the Operations Room, where Tocsax decided to give another debrief as to what his plan was for each initial party. It seems the Nobody planned on prioritizing a secure connection with their contact rather than fend off the forces led by Stalin and Hitler. It was a fair plan, Asher would give him that, but if this line of play was what he was aiming for, then time is of the essence. Asher quickly followed after the brotherly triad, wanting to board the Gummi Ship and get a move on already.

@ShadowVentus

They finally boarded the shuttle. Seeing as Asher was following them, Victor assumed he would come with them. "Hey, uh, Mister! Wait, I think you're younger than me... or are you older than me? Eh... uh... oh, I forgot what I was going to say...!" Victor started getting desperate. "Hehe. You mean to say that you're going to do your best, right? That applies to me as well." Agni spoke. "Y-Yeah! I-I'll try not to be useless!" Victor spoke, eager.

"Since we're all on this team together, a better introduction should be done on our part before we leave. My name is Agni Blackheart. In my world, I'm the Crown Prince of the Royal Sky Capital of Lizeria. It's a pleasure to work alongside all of you." Agni introduced himself. He felt as if it would be better to say their names before departing. "I-I'm Victor Blackheart! Um, I'm the Fourth Prince of Lizeria and Agni's brother! I can't do much, b-but I'll do my best!" He said. Then, they turned to Ignitio. "... Ignitio Blackheart. Third Prince." Ignitio spoke. "And...?" Agni fished for something else. "Get in my nerves or mess with my brothers and I'll kill you." He said, looking away. Victor looked at him scared and Agni couldn't hide his disappointment.

World: World War II

London, England, Extended World War II

London, England, had seen better days. The Blitz had ended, then was replaced with V2 Rockets, which in turn were replaced by Heartless randomly appearing in London's lower-class districts and consuming people there until various Independent Keybladers came in and destroyed them permanently. In one of those places was a lone mechanics' shop that repaired bicycles, army vehicles, and ambulances - The latter were a common sight nowadays. The general mood was one of despair, as Vic can detect - A decade-long war did that.

Either way, Judah Ben Issac, a young man in a Trenchcoat, greeted the new arrivals with suspicion. Getting up but not yet revealing his Keyblade, the Jewish Exorcist spoke to Agni and his crew, "If you're here to get Munny from fighting Heartless, this is my turf. And if you're here because you are after Lucy..."

The Keyblade now appeared in his hand, blue and white like a Jewish Prayer Shawl. "Then you'd be spoiling for a fight."

@Letter Bee

After being dropped out of the shuttle, they took a moment to look around before being interrupted by a young man. He seemed really suspicious, but the same thing could be said to them. He then summoned a Keyblade and pointed at them. "Gah!! H-H-He's going to attack us! He's going to attack us!" Victor said, trembling behind Agni. "Put that weapon away or else!!" Ignitio took his gunblade out and pointed at the young man. "You're not helping! Put that blade away at this instant!" Agni ordered him and Ignitio obeyed with a "tch".

"I'm sorry for my brother. We didn't come here to fight you, we came here to aid you and your people against the Heartless. Would you mind telling me your name, sir?" Agni asked.

Kalina's Thunder Rain eliminated all the smaller Nightmares, but the bigger ones were still up, resisting the attack.


Xaizor: How come they're still up?! The attack was point blank on them!

Jin: Let me at them too! You three get to Agito and beat him!

Jin: Fist Sign "Unrelenting Rush"!!

Jin vanished and reappeared right next to one of the Nightmares, punching it to another one. With vanishing attacks, he managed to gather all of them in one place as he punched them from all directions. Soon, he left the area and his afterimages kept attacking.


Jin: Now!!

At his sign, Marina and Xaizor rushed to Agito. He was the first one to attack with his sword, but Agito was able to evade him.


Agito: Haha, you missed!

Xaizor: Don't make fun of me, you prick!

Marina: Blizzaga!

Marina attacked Agito with an ice spell and he got hit. That gave Xaizor the advantage to slash him some times and then grab him by the neck.


Agito: Guh...!!

Xaizor: All yours, Tiane!!

Xaizor kicked him and blasted him with Dark Firaga. Marina intercepted with her Blizzard talismans, freezing Agito on the spot.

Meanwhile, Veigas clashed his dark crystal with Kaito's chakrams. Lucent called crows to pierce Veigas but he used a shield to fend them off.

Mia activated a special function of the Aegis and reflected the trail back to Rasel. However, she spun her parasol at the trail, swirling it around the top.


Mia: What?!

Rasel: Pitiful human, know your place!

After a spin, she closed her parasol and dashed towards Mia and Yomi. The Word of Pain charged herself up, as a dark aura emanated around her as she dived towards her enemies. Mia blocked it, but Rasel was pushing her now.


Mia: Gggh...!! This is stronger than what I thought!!

Rasel: Ahaha!! I will break your shield apart!!

Meanwhile, Fear Mace's attack worked and Doremy was pushed back by the attack.


Doremy: Ugh...! Impudent woman...!

Fuindor rushed at Doremy, following with a series of slashes at her. He backed off and used a skill.

Fuindor breathed fire on Doremy. The flames surrounded her and soon formed a cage, entrapping her. He was ready to finish her off, but he had another idea. Using Shion-no-hono's flames, he infused fire on Fear Mace's katana and entered into drawing stance.

Adachi's Introduction: The Black Moon's New Alliance

Location: Spring Zone - Suburbs


In a deep part of the suburbs, a giant japanese house stood in the middle of a plaza. That was an inn, but also it was the hideout for the Black Moon, an organization composed of trained assassins, working under the shadows against the Four Comets group. Leaded by two assassins, known by its members as Avenger and Vampire, this secret assassin group was fierce in completing missions handled to them.

Roger entered one of the rooms at the second floor. There, a young man was looking throughout a list.


???: The information came late, but it looks like that idiot Pairah was kicked out. Well deserved, she was always a prideful idiot who didn't get that she was weak.

Roger: Master, I've returned with an invitation to you.

???: To me? Made by who?

Roger: Unfortunately, it was given to me by a butler and he didn't give me much info about who sent it.

???: In other words, you were swooning over a butler instead of doing your job, Roger?

Roger: Ehehe... well, maybe...?

???: As always, you're terrible at your work. Give me the letter.

Roger handed the letter to the young man. He read its content and gave a little laugh.

???: Really now? What an invitation indeed.

Roger: I might be a little nosy, but who sent it?

???: I don't know. Maybe you should've asked that butler over a cup of tea.

Roger: C'mon, stop with that! I already get it, I was wrong!

???: Good to know. Now let's head out. You're coming with me to this place.
Roger: Y-Yes, sir.

With that, the man got off from his table and left the room alongside Roger. The other members of the Black Moon all stopped and bowed at his presence. However, another person came by and didn't bow. They stood face to face at the main hall.


???: Are you going off somewhere?

???: Someone invited me to a party, you see. Can't refuse it when I'm personally invited.

???: Who was this someone and how did they reach us?

???: Someone who might be interesting to work with. See it yourself.

He gave the letter. As the other young man read it, he couldn't hide his worry.


???: How... how did they found us?

???: I've no idea, but I'm biting this. Something tells me it would be a big waste to just let this opportunity go.

???: Are you sure this is a good idea? They might be after us because of our connection.

???: Either way, I'm game. Trap or not, I'll make my way through it.

???: Then I'm coming with you. Both leaders should be present to hear their proposal.

???: How kind of you, Lass. I thought you wouldn't come too.


Black Moon's Avenger
Lass Isolet


Lass: To be honest, we'll be in big trouble if I leave you to go alone, Astra.


Black Moon's Vampire
Adachi "Astra" Kama


Astra: Aww, you wound me. Now let's go. We can't be rude guests and turn up late.

Roger: Just to be sure, where are we going, exactly?

Astra: Fon Ventorian Mansion. A meeting with the Resistance.

Lass: Let's go then. We don't have time to waste.

The two leaders of the Black Moon and Roger left to the Fon Ventorian Mansion, to answer the "invitation" made by the Resistance. Adachi didn't knew what to expect, but readied himself to react as much as he's able to.

BGM: Pride and Arrogance still playing


Veigas: Oh, but you are pathetic.

Veigas rose his cube and a laser beam came out of it, aimed directly at Tiane.


Xaizor: Tiane, look out!!

Xaizor jumped in time to save Tiane, but he couldn't get his sword in na good position to defend himself and took the hit.


Marina: Xaizor!

Veigas: Gallant yet foolish. Your effort was for nothing.

Agito: This girl's dream will be fine for both of us!

Jin: Shit, I can't get to her! Marina, can you do something?!

Marina: N-Not right now...!! Miss Tiane!!

Veigas: Die knowing your dream will be no longer yours.

BGM: The Lost Emotion

But before he could attack, Veigas and Agito had to evade a flame projectile coming from behind them. When they and the others looked, Lucent and Kaito had just arrived.


Xaizor: They got reinforcements, we got even more of ours!

Marina: Mister Kaito! Mister Lucent!

Kaito: The Luminary of the Stars and his faithful sidekick have arrived! Evildoers, time to meet justice!

However, Lucent ignored Kaito's remark. Both Agito and Veigas were staring intensely at him, smiling from ear to ear.


Lucent: You two... unlike the one yesterday I know you... Veigas Terre and Agito!

Veigas: Ahaha! Look who's here, Agito! If it isn't the traitor Lucent himself!

Agito: You finally decided to show up, eh? Doremy told us about your backstab, you son of a bitch!

Lucent: I wasn't your ally. Not even once.

Veigas: We already know you were a "special" case, but this oversteps the boundaries. Attacking your fellow brethen, how dare you!

Kaito: I said yesterday to that girl and I'll say to you too. Don't lump Lucent with the likes of you!!

Xaizor: Lucent wouldn't do something as cruel as eating people's dreams!

Veigas: Naïve. He already did, more than once.

Marina: He had a reason behind it, unlike you!

Jin: Enough talk! Let's finish this fight!

Jin: We'll leave Veigas to you two! Leave Agito to us!

Kaito: Roger that!

The Nightmares were surrounded now. With the new target splitting, Veigas faced Lucent and Kaito while Agito faced Xaizor, Marina, Jin, Tiane and Kalina once more.


Veigas: How long have I wanted to meet you in person. I've been waiting to get my hands on the traitor and take him down myself!

Lucent: We share the same feeling. The cruelty you have done with innocent people ends here.

Veigas: Oooh, brave. Do you think you stand a chance, Lucent?

Lucent: I have to. It's the way for me to atone for my past sins.

Kaito: We're taking you down here and we won't play easy just because you're a girl!

Veigas: Imbecile, I'm not a girl!! I'm stylish, it's very different!!

Lucent: Your style won't save you...

Lucent summoned wolf Nightmares and sent them towards Veigas with Kaito following them from behind. Veigas shot his dark orbs once more but only managed to defeat the wolves, as Kaito began to attack with his flaming pair of chakrams.


Agito: Well then, where were we? Ah yes, the part where I end you all!

Jin: Don't press your luck. You're outnumbered.

Agito: Heh, I have a truckload of those meeks. You think I'm scared?

Xaizor: 'Course we do! Jump up and fight like a man, you coward!

Marina: And even if you can summon these beasts with no end, we shall not lose to you! We will free this people from your grasp!

Agito: ... Alright, that does it.


Agito called upon a new type of Nightmares. They were bigger than the others, standing ten in total.


Xaizor: Me, Tiane and Jin at the front line! Marina, give us backup with thunder lady over there!

Marina: R-Right! (Xaizor, I swear to God...)

Jin: You guys ready? Here he comes!

Agito: I'm not just eating your dreams... I'M GONNA EAT YOUR DREAMS, YOUR BODY AND YOUR HEART!!

Location: Summer Area - Streets

BGM: Person who Conceives Frenzy still playing

Mia lost track of Yoru and had to shield herself from the fire. However, unlike the fierce danamku that didn't give her time, she used Aegis' special function to drain the damage she took.


Mia: (Where did she go?)

Rasel defended Yomi's sommersault kick with her parasol. She closed it and revealed a blade right on the tip, preparing herself to slash Yomi.


Rasel: Ahaha! Feast my blade!

Mia: Not while I am here!!

With the energy she drained, Mia charged with Aegis directly at Rasel, who attacked Yomi with a thrusting attack. Their weapons clashed in time, but thanks to Aegis' remaining energy, Rasel was pushed away.


Rasel: A shieldbearer?

Mia: I have no intentions on betraying your trust, if you are to help me in arresting this girl. Whatever secret you held, I swear to never speak of it, in the name of the Holy Order.

Rasel: You and your secrets are dying here!

Meanwhile, the beds went directly at them, but Fear Mace slashed one. Another followed suit.


Fuindor: I don't want that to happen either! My dreams are precious to me!

Fuindor followed Fear Mace and slashed the other bed coming at her. He then breathed out fire and burned the remaining beds.


Doremy: My my, you do seem wanting a fight. Did you forget that I can fly?

Fuindor: Flying, ground, it doesn't matter to me! We're beating you!

Doremy: That we shall see. Sheep Sign "Nightmare of Chimera"!

Doremy suddenly transformed into a giant sheep and began shooting beds into random directiosn. Fuindor slashed and used fire to fend them off, while getting closer to Doremy.

Resolves UNITED under one SKY - Kael Taiyou X Magus Dream

Xaizor: And Tiane joins the battlefield!

???: More of 'em? Wasn't expecting that.

Marina: Thank you both for your aid. That man just keeps summoning non-stop.

Xaizor: He's powering up those things with his power. But now that we're together, we beat him and those Nightmares won't do a scratch!

BGM: Pride and Arrogance

???: Agito, what are you even doing...?

As the man, whose name was Agito, prepared to summon more demons, a portal appeared right next to him. A flying person came and looked at the group


???: I finished my portion already, shouldn't you be done with yours?


Terrifying Nightmarish Scream
Agito


Agito: Well then help me if you're so damn good, Veigas!


Dream's Fallen Apostle
Veigas Terre


Veigas: Perhaps I should, since you're so incompetent on doing such an easy job. I'll let you give me a hand, though.

Agito: Ugh, fine... we're sharing the wins, though!

Veigas: I can't make promises. Although I'm full for now, so I'll consider it. Now then...

Veigas turned to the group. His prideful look made him feel as if victory was easy against them.


Xaizor: We're fighting a girl now? Damn...

Veigas: E-Excuse me?! Who are you calling a girl, you brat? I'm a guy, brainless idiot!

Marina: You said you "ate your portion" earlier. What do you mean with it?

Veigas: I mean that humans lost their dreams to me. A lot of them!

Veigas: A girl who dreams with a charming prince, a man who dreams of riches, a child who dreams of playing with its parents... all of them. I ate it all! All of them! Ahahahaha!

Jin: You bastards!! Don't think you're getting away with this!

Agito: Nyeeehahahaha!! Oh, but you bet we are!!

Veigas: This whole town is doomed to despair eternally. With the Vestal of Dreams gone, we can run rampart for as much as we want and nobody can stop us.

Marina: That is not true! We shall stop you, no matter what it takes!

Xaizor: We ain't letting you do as you goddamn please! You're getting beaten up right now!

Veigas: So you're saying you're opposing us. Is that it?

Jin: Yeah, that's the gist of it! Got a problem?!

Veigas: To be fair, I do.

Veigas' orb began to shine and it soon dispersed a lot of dark orbs around him. He shot them at the group's direction, but Marina casted a shield to protect them. Using the window of time given, Agito summoned another wave of smaller Nightmares.


Veigas: I. hate. people. who oppose me.

Agito: You guys are so damn screwed! We're beating you all to a pulp and then your dreams will be ours!

Agito screamed on his megaphone again, powering the Nightmares, Veigas and himself up. They all charged at Xaizor, Marina, Jin, Tiane and Kalina, with Veigas launching more dark orbs at them.

Location: Summer Area - Streets

BGM: Person who Conceives Frenzy

???: That is simple. It is only Nightmares doing what we must do to survive.

Doremy had already stopped shooting because of Fear and Yoru's arrival, but she didn't even answer the question. A burst of dark fire near her revealed someone else.


???: Good morning to you, Doremy. How has it been with your breakfast.

Doremy: Rather well, Rasel. I've managed to taste a lot of dreams this morning.


Elegant Nightmare Lady
Rasel Coriander


Rasel: That is good to hear. I have been tasting some delicacies myself and they were wonderful.

Rasel: But enough talk. We have enemies in front of us.

Doremy: My, you came to help me then?

Rasel: Of course. Besides, facing resistant hosts are the best I could ever imagine for this morning. The thrills of it will please me even more when I devour their wishes away!

Fuindor: Another weirdo came in.

Mia: You both are being arrested here! Surrender or face the consequences!

Rasel: You have been shielding danmaku for the last minutes without attacking. Do you truly believe a puny human like yourself would ever be able to defeat us?

Fuindor: She's not alone in this. I'm here with her too, and with those other two as well!

Doremy: Pitiful, poor children. Any suggestions, Rasel?

Rasel: Let us devour and savor their dreams at once.

Rasel snapped her fingers and a wall of darkness separated the four of them. Doremy stood facing Fear and Fuindor while Rasel stood facing Mia and Yoru.


Rasel: Come then. Entertain me before I feast on your deepest hopes!

Doremy: I will swallow all of your dreams before you can even think of them!

Doremy dashed towards them, while summoning beds that flew at fast speeds towards Fear and Fuindor. Rasel called upon a fire rain and casted it above Mia and Yoru.

Location: Ship - Cafeteria

BGM: Shion's Theme still playing

Eliza nods at Shion's shift in mood before she said her next words, "Investigator Dias, Shion really is serious about... Not being serious. He's allowed to be unorthodox. Either way, give us the orders and we can move out to apprehend the Agents - Assuming that the CIA don't have a person here keeping tabs on us." She then looked at Shion and Pablo and said, "It is very much possible that this could be a diversion from the actual CIA activities in Operation Symbiosis as they are not blind to Pablo's power and its potential."

@Letter Bee

What the hell? So my superior can act as freely as he want...? André thought. For him, that was one of the worst ideas someone in the military could ever let happen. Shion could only giggle at him. "W-Why the hell are you giggling about? What are you, an innocent maiden?" André questioned, somewhat angry. "Oh, it's just that it's funny teasing you, André-kun. And if you're that worried about me being that unortodox, I'll give you permission to be as yourself around me and snap for as long as you want to." Shion answered. "I still can't believe that of all people in this ship, they chose you to watch over Ein... not only that, you're my superior." André complained. "Bothered that someone like me is ranks above someone like you?" Shion asked and smirked. "Watch your tongue, buddy. If you're able to know much about me, I'm very competitive too and I'm not willing to lose to someone like you." He answered and twitched his eyes. A rivalry between these two is setting from now on.

Pablo smiles at Shion dropping his mask, then says, "This transport ship has a surprising number of rooms, but an earlier use of my power has given me the location of the Agents and the Torture Equipment - It's in a hidden chamber beside the kitchens. That said... I don't think they're torturing anyone now, yet, so I think that the best plan would be to take photos of the equipment, then destroy said equipment, and then get the CIA Agents expelled from the expedition and ship so that we don't cause an incident by 'terminating' them."

@Letter Bee

BGM: Voile, the Magic Library (CtC Ver.)

After their bicker, the attention returned to the mission at hand. Thanks to Pablo's power, the location of the equipment was easily found. "Good idea, little Pablo. With the pictures, we'll have proof that they were with the exquipment and then we'll be able to-" André thought about the idea, but someone interrupted him. "The equipment was hidden because Operation: Symbiote asked us to! It isn't ours, we were accomplices to their plan! They talk about bringing "peace" but this is their way to do it!" Shion spoke words and André soon picked them up. "I'm not saying Pablo-chan's plan is bad, per se. Don't forget this is our ship and they're our "guests", though. As the party hosts, the blame immediately shifts on us if we simply show photos of it." He explained. "Yeah, you're... right. And an international, powerful organization such as the CIA has more credit than an operation like ours. Unless concrete proof is made, we're in risk of being blamed." André said.

Shion walked towards Ein. He squatted down and looked at the frightened boy. "Ein-chan, do you have any ideas? Anything that could help us will be great!" Shion smiled. Ein stepped away and didn't even look at him. "Hey, don't get too close to Ein! He doesn't like it and gets easily scared of people like you!" André spoke. However, Ein mumbled a little. "... prints." He said. "Prints?" Shion asked once more. "H-Handprints... in the... e-equipment." He spoke a little louder, but not too much and still didn't look at them. "Handprints! We can get the samples in the equipment before we destroy it and then we get samples from the agents!" André spoke. "Not just that, if we can get particles of blood and prove they were used in a prisoner, we can even have more proof they were tortured." Shion complemented the idea, much to André's dismay.

"That was a nice idea, Ein-chan! Here, hi-five!" Shion extended his hand. However, Ein didn't respond at all. He happily shrugged it off and got back up.

She looked at everyone, certain that Shion was still putting up a 'Cone of Silence', and said, "I watched Pablo use his power on the waters around the entire expedition earlier, just before we met with Ein and Andre. The objective was to see the Operation's possible futures, as well as any secrets that can potentially disable them. However, despite this gain in information, there's only so much that one person can do, which is why we need your help - If I were the CIA, I'd toss literal hundreds of distractions at Pablo Legazpi so that he won't be able to stop their real agenda. That or just kill him and damn the consequences."
