A domain of darkness, filled with cries of help, anger, sorrow and pain grasps Ninomiya.
A figure in the distance walks towards Ninomiya.
It was him, but it felt different.
"Weak."
The figure of himself kicks him.
"Pathetic."
Punches him.
"Scum."
Punch.
Ninomiya had enough, so he tried to reach him.
Pushing through the cries, his hands reach him.
The figure of Ninomiya turns into a girl with 4 horns and blond hair.
Only to feel a soft and gentle touch, he remembers and calls her name "Nagano."
The scene turns all white as he regains consciousness, "Nagano."
His hand facing towards this ceiling.
[Base Dogma Underground Sector, Yakushima Island]
His wounds healed already, no scars left behind.
He feels his body in a worry, a metal object stuck to his chest.
A note was left, 'Keep that object there, we need you for a meeting. Meet me at Sector 9 Room 301, elevators are broken so take the stairs.- Alice.'
Some clothes were left behind on the table, he reached out and wore them.
Ninomiya exits his room, [ICU 44]
[Walk]
At the edge of the hall always stood a guard no matter where you are in Dogma. They were the Navigators of this behemoth of a facility.
Ninomiya kept asking the guards for the location of room 301 S9.
After a whole 40 minutes of looking around, Ninomiya ends up finding the room.
A guard excuses himself after recognizing a suitless individual with green hair.
The door opens,

There were 6 individuals inside.
Akise[just returned from the mission Hiori gave him], Akito, Sez, Hiori, Akame and Alice.
It was Akise and Akame's first meeting with Ninomiya in a while.
Ninomiya walks in.
The door closes, [locked]
[All information will not be recorded, Confidential.]
Ninomiya took a seat, "You bastard, you're still alive. I thought you died in the school incident."
Akise tries to shake it off, "I exited the building way before anything happened. So I remained uninjured. What about you Ninomiya? Have you gotten used to everything?"
Ninomiya looks at Akame, "More or less."
Ninomiya feels something is wrong in this room,
"How long was I unconscious? What happened to that guy? And Hiori, how are you alive?"
Hiori gives a sigh, Akito starts smoking a cigar, Akame looks away.
Hiori says, "This is Day 4 since the attack on Dogma. So you have been asleep for 4 days. A Lot has happened. First of all Akise came back unharmed from his mission, second of all we defeated that alien bastard or more so you killed that fucker alone. Third, we have crucial information and a blueprint for a life support ship for human transportation across the galaxy."
"I killed that man?"
Ninomiya is astonished at how he even did it.
"As I suspected you don't remember a thing. If you are worried about me then I'm fine, I'm one of the sacrifices humanity will make. I am just like Akame. I am a cyborg." Hiori states.
She notes something down.
Akise says with a serious look on his face, "Hiori, get on the main topic please."
Akito finishes ⅓rd his smoke.
"I'll do it."
Everyone looks at Akito.
"11 years ago, after escaping the future we had brought with us our research as well, documents of technology and inventions. Among these there stood out one, The Idenfrost Engine, an engine that is similar to a nuclear reactor but compact enough to be made into the size of a marble.
Its output is very high and the engine can power anything. 3 years after we discovered it we ran tests and found out it was very viable for use in all suits, weapons and gadgets. Then we found another piece of documentation. A blueprint for a body of a human, -"
Ninomiya interrupts with a follow up, "A human cyborg."
Hiori points out, "That's this body I have. I call it the ultimate weapon of humanity."
Akito continues, "The inventor named Idenfrost is nowhere to be found but the research is there. We trust in this research more than ever as it has been fruitful. Akise about 5 days ago went back to our original timeline and retrieved another Idenfrost document. This time it's a spaceship."
Alice speaks up, "You're gonna send a backup of our civilization into far deep space in case a battle erupts here in the over world."
Sez says, "Correct. Prevention is better than cure but we need a cure in case we can't prevent this crisis."
Ninomiya puts his hands above his head, "You have to be kidding me. What are the odds we fight here?"
Sez says, "The odds are never zero."
Ninomiya thinks and answers with a very serious face, "But what about the people who live in this world, their lives, their happiness, their feelings, doesn't it matter to you?"
Sez tries to finish her sentence.
But Hiori interrupted her, "I object that this timeline is a false timeline created by our meddling of time. If we were to kill the people in it, it wouldn't be a sin."
Sez argues with Hiori over this inhumane decision.
Akito joins in as well and the three are having a rant.
Akame looks at herself, then she looks at Akise who is trying not to lose his mind over this conversation.
He is constantly putting his palm on his face.
Akame comes up with a solution,
"What if we let the people of this world have a chance at survival?"
Everyone keeps a zip to their tongue,
Akame says, "Let's say, if we were to travel 2,000,000 light years in a single portal, how many habitable worlds are there?
The old professor used to tell me, out in the stars every one out of a thousand worlds is terraformable. So if we were to play our cards right, we can somehow allow 10,000 people to live on and continue the human race on a distant world if chaos were to break out on ours. Yes we will still let an estimated 7 billion die, but the survivors of this world will live on and continue on another world. That is my side."
Akise looks at Akame with one eye covered with his hand and the other one staring at her.
"That actually could work.
We do not have the resources to transport the whole population of earth to an alien world but we do have enough for 10,000."
Sez tells everyone that the meeting has concluded.
Alice grabs Ninomiya's hand and tries to tell him something, she is scared and kind of shy.
She was waiting for herself to tell him that, she mustered up the courage and tells him.
"I'm pregnant."
Everyone in the room hears it.
Akise is taken back by that, he looks down.
