I feel Tesyn's forehead, She's burning up. "What's wrong with her?" "Something to do with radiation." Markus continues, "Where the hell is Slim? It's been a couple hours." "What's an hour?" "A twenty-forth of a sunrise" "What?" He sighs- We both turn to a door opening, Slim hobbles in, bloodied and bruised, breathing heavily with a sword dragging from behind, "What happened to you?" He just limps forward and pulls out a vial- I reach out as he sticks Tesyn with it. I pull him off and she gasps awake. She darts around the room, then turns to us with wide eyes, "What happened?!" Slim injects Markus, then grabs my arm, I pull away. "I'm fine." "The radiation's bad here." I shake my head, "I'll take it if I feel sick." He exhales, "Fine, but we have to go, now." Tesyn stands, "Wait, where's Gladius?" Slim looks us all in the eye, then shakes his head. Tesyn and Markus grab their heads. "Headache's bad, I know. Keeps you tough though." He leans the sword's hilt to Markus, he lets it fall from the weight. Markus grabs it and lowers it to the ground. "Figure out how to activate that." Tesyn shouts, "What is going on!? What happened to him?"

I sigh, These dummies. "I'm saving you all, that's what is going on." More like an attempt. Thadius frowns, "How did he die?" "I'll tell you all after we're somewhere safe." Markus drags the sword along, "Where?" "To a human world, almost untouched by demons." They huddle around me, Flourishing humans. A bright blue flash blinds us as they all gasp, "Where are we?" I simply fly off and they follow through this great starry universe. Markus and Thadius fall behind as she sighs, "I hate to say it, but it's good you're back." I turn to her, she frowns as I drift closer, "Are you okay?" I put my hand near her face and she drifts away. "I'm fine!" I sigh, "Just tell me what's on your mind." "I'll live." I scoff, "You're putting up a front, I'd know." She crosses her arms, "Okay, fine. I never cared for those other angels, but Rhoxeus, he was there for you." She looks off to the starry black sea, "We were his whole world. But now it's like he's the huge void in mine." She cries as I drift in and hug her, "I know. We'll get through this. Let it out." She bawls her eyes out and I close my eyes. Back then, I would tease and torment her so bad. I'm glad I could tease out something good after all these years.

I stop as the two catch up, then teleport us in front of a galaxy, "This is it. Kinelt, Sanol, all of them are glorified shitholes, just like New York!" Markus bumps into me, "What is the sword for?" "The Sword of Bastion, rumored to create- Well, a Bastion." Markus grabs his head and bends forward. He groans and bends back. He stares ahead in a trance, then shakes before fiddling with the sword. Something draws near, coming fast- "Figure it out!" I push him away and throw a knife. Ursa dodges it and as he turns around, we all face him. He glares back. Shit.
