Fighting for an entire hour seems a lot of time for training...but, they won't be fighting a black hat hacker but an evil organization. The stakes will be as high as they can get...the more the pink-haired teen thought about it the more it scared her how they will deal with said organization.
“Focus.” Aeris dodged a red blade that came on her left. She was so distracted that she forgot that her training partner has known her for years.
“Sorry.”
“If you lose focus you will be at a disadvantage. Unlike here, you will not return unharmed or not return at all.” She is right and that's the scary part. This will not be abiding by Omega's rules. No, this will be abiding by real-life rules. One false move and you might end up getting seriously hurt or even worse...dying. It didn't help that her concern for Alice's well being was getting in the way of their training. She hopes her childhood friend is okay. Twirl, left, right, block with the veil...
“She vanished?!” Her mother's speed is...?!
“Too slow.” Aeris turn just to be blasted towards the museum.
“It is a good thing that these stages will be rebuilt. I do not want Sammy to give us a lecture for 3 hours on not to tamper with historical artifacts and structures.” Still...her daughter was getting way too distracted. She understands why but...they will not show any mercy toward her when they go to the whereabouts of LeGrace. Once this hour of training is complete they will have to wait for the brown-haired leader of theirs. His training will be 3 times more intense since they are well aware that he is the only one that might be able to defeat their leader. She just hopes those two are right about sending “her” second.

Walking through the streets was the brown-haired boy. He was trying to track down his opponent that somehow had escaped. How does he know?! Because the voice inside him was saying that said target was still active and with a lower Capacity Power. However, this boy has lost his focus on the main thing, to train to become strong enough to defeat the leader of LeGrace: Rusher.
'Searching...Searching...' The boy looks in every direction but it was the same result. Albeit, to the brown-haired owner of the real Diamond Dragonite, Sexan was very good at hiding his Capacity Power. It was kind of an obligation to be precise. President Kishima suggested that he should learn how to camouflage his Capacity Power just in the wild chance that he encounters a virus that can track him via Capacity Power. It sounded ridiculous at first, but now...He is very glad that he did anyways! It seems that if he Core Shifts into a Wall he can perhaps switch back when he is close to his almost identical in appearance opponent. He wonders if the Core Shift limitation is still on or was taken out for this specific occasion. The president never mentioned that it was taken out but if they are going to fight real people they're going to have to get every advantage they can get.
“Okay, here goes. Core Shift: Wall!” His twin hooks disappeared before it was replaced by silver with a gold border targe shield while his attire changed into a silver armor with a Bauta Barroco silver mask. Now, where is he? Sexan didn't have to wonder any longer because he had to block another line. This time it didn't faze him but he was getting tired of these lines that will probably cut a building in half. Flapping his aura existent dragon wings Kurosagi went and dived like a peregrine falcon.
*Clank*
The sound of both metals resounded on the city following it up with a big sonic boom that cracked the windows of the skyscrapers around them.
Arifer deflects him away before he jumps and does a spin attack which the other brown-haired teen dodged. Sexan on the offense continues his assault with his shield and Richard kept dodging before he got kicked by a flying kick from Sexan who follows it up by throwing his shield. His opponent deflected with a slash but did not expect the following attack which was a dropkick from him using the shield for heavier impact and damage to the face of his opponent. That did it he fell to the ground.
“Finally got him down.” He then walked and picked his shield before seeing Richard shaking his head and then standing out. At least he got him out for five seconds, still, he got him down which meant that the boy wasn't invisible or unstoppable in the form he is currently in. Richard vanished before appearing behind Sexan who with reaction blocked with his shield.
“You have to do better than that, I already know about the speed that we get from being a scout.” The brown-haired opponent of his didn't respond it just proceeded to slash at a speed that he would do on his scouter level. Although, now that he thinks about it...Isn't it a bit quicker? In any case, so long as he is in his Wall form and he can use his shield correctly, Kurosagi will not be able to break his defenses and he can just kind of chip away until the time limit expires. It is all about surviving for an hour...But if he can defeat Richard Kurosagi, He is strong enough to save Alice and get his rematch vs Rusher...and this time he will win.

Alice was back in Min's room this time she was eating something. For being kidnappers they sure know how to treat their hostages! It is as if she was actually on a summer vacation with other people, In no way, this feels like a kidnapping. Well, Hmm, it is but it isn't...Gah! She has to stop thinking about it!
“What are you doing? Are you going to finish that steak or should I just take it and feed it to my Venus?”
“Ah NO!! Er, I just you know thinking of how are you guys able to get this kind of food.”
“Hey, just because we live in an underwater base it doesn't mean that we don't go out and get ingredients for a good meal.” Yeah, she kind of discover that little detail as she explained it to her while they were dressing back up. Hmm, this fabric seems soft, this is Vicuna fabric for sure. These White buttoned shirts and pants felt very cozy although, it was a little bit tight, almost. It would've been silly to wear the crystal heels so she decided to tell one of the textile workers to create some white boots to match the clothes. Hey if you are going all white might as well commit to the footwear too.
“So...When am I going to meet your leader?” She will not lie she was kind of nervous...and a bit scared of the leader...even thou the purple-haired woman assured her that she will be fine.
“Hmm...it might take longer since he's in a meeting with our big boss.” Their big boss...So there is someone higher than this group...Well, I guess will explain the hundreds of soldiers here. Still, knowing that there's someone who might be stronger than these people...yeah this is no joke, she is in something deep and there is no way in hell that she will be able to come out of here in one piece if she even attempts to try to plan an escape.
“Between don't think of trying to sneak away from us.”
“I wasn't thinking about it...even if I did there's no way I can escape from an underwater base, heck I can't even tell where the bathroom and the kitchen are here!” The walls look so similar how in the hell these people can tell where to go?!
“Shzzzzzzshh!!”
“Hmm? Oh, you want this Naturia?” Was she talking to the venus fly trap?
“Shzz!!” Did it respond?!
“Okay, here you go!”
*Nom, Nom, Nom*
What the Hell?!
“Did you enjoy it?”
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”
“Hmm, What?”
“Don't what me?! You just gave a giant piece of meat to a Venus flytrap!”
“So...”
“SO?!”
“SHZZZZZZZ!!!” Now that thing is hissing at her?! When was that when she woke up!!?
“Relax she just doesn't understand that you were hungry, who is my favorite? Yes, you are?” Why bother? She might as well keep her sanity as much as possible before she goes and starts arguing with a venus flytrap...A 6 FOOT ONE AT THAT!
*Swoosh*
“Oh welcome back...General.” General? The red-haired teen turns around to see him. She remembers him...So this is the leader of this group...
“How has she been doing?” Asked the short blue-haired leader.
“Fine, in fact, she has been surprisingly cooperative for being a “hostage”.” What did she mean by “Hostage”? SHE IS A HOSTAGE!!
“...I see...” Flinching when he stared at her, Alice wonders if she would even dare ask the many questions that are running through her mind. One of them being: Where is her Legendary Piece?
“Can you let me with her alone Min?”
“...Yes Sir...Naturia behave, okay?”
“Shzzz...” Min took one last glance at Alice before leaving.

Dodging and deflecting the attacks Sexan has made sure that his opponent couldn't get even the slightest of advantages. It is all about survival at this point. Hmm, now that he thinks about it, fighting in this form has made him understand how to be a wall. This must be the root of this training section to be able to use all the other classes in order to switch from one to the other under the appropriate circumstances. This will be good if his opponent was willing to cooperate!!
Seriously, what triggered him going to this cold heartened A.I.?!!
“Tch!” Deflecting his attack was getting annoying he has to find a way to knock him out cold or something. It seems that his fake piece was glowing even stronger than before. If this piece has the same ability as the real one he should figure out how to trigger it so he can use the power to not only defeat Kurosagi but to save Alice.
“As much as I like that you are taking this fight seriously, I am not going to lose to you Kurosagi!!” No response...He has become like an A.I. Now. Kurosagi wasn't even himself in fact, his body was moving on his own. Perhaps it is the fact that his legendary piece was getting darker. Deflecting and blocking the shield throws and hand to hand combat from his opponent the faux brown-haired teen adapted to the situation and used the aura tail that sprouted from his tailbone and grabbed Sexan.
“WHAT?!” Sexan was thrown to a building before getting caught again and lifted high before being slammed down hard into a car nearby.
“Ugh!” Groaning Sexan before he blocked a stomp with his shield creating a crater below him. Once again Kurosagi repeated this a second time, and then a THIRD TIME!! creating the same result. On the fourth attempt, however, Sexan moved out of the way making the other brown-haired teen crash on the street and going subterranean.
('What location is he going to come out of?') Wonders Sexan as he tries to think of a way to keep himself from getting pummeled. It was a smart choice to choose Wall instead of anything else. He has to be careful thou, he isn't the only one that can Core Shift.
Richard came out of the ground from the west side before creating a large White Dragon Strike Fang. Sexan dodged it this time but then noticed one detail.
“Whoa.” That wasn't like the last white lines that he created even more that thing made a dent on the gear...that is something very difficult to do!! That means that his opponent must have shifted when he was underground. That's just perfect, he will have to change into his scout again. This is like a game of cat and mouse at this point!
“Core Shift: Scouter!” Shifting back to his default class he took flight once again floating at the opposite side of his opponent.
“Just so you know I am not losing to you, you hear?”
“...”
'Target's Capacity Power increasing...looking for Source...Source Found...Legendary Piece...Analyzing...Analysis complete. Piece equipped on opponent false. New Target: Legendary False Piece.'
“Tch.” Sexan will have to find another way to take him down if only he could keep him in one class long enough for him to overpower him with the class that has an advantage. He now has to win...he has come this far and he cannot afford to lose!

“So how much did Min told you about me?” asked Rusher.
“Y-You are not going to punish her, are you?”
“That depends...”
“Er, well not much. Thou she did say you are far worse than her and that other guy she fought.”
“Other guy?”
“He was very heavy and his hair was very short almost bald.”
“Oh, Mol...Hmm, she wasn't lying, to say the least.” Tensing up Alice now has to be careful about her next words.
“Um, do you...by any chance...h-have my necklace?” Rusher looks at her for a few seconds making Alice a little bit scared before he took something out of his pocket.
“You mean this?” Rusher shows the Sphere of Rage to her.
“Yes!”
“If you are thinking that I will give it to you. You have to be the stupidest girl on the planet.” Well, at least she tried and she at least knows he is holding it.
“Tell me do you know about what this is? No, I don't need to ask such a stupid question, of course you know what this is. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a point to get you here. You are very lucky, Usually, I would've gotten rid of you because of how much of a threat you were back then when we fought...” That's a gulp and a half.
“However, I wouldn't know how this would work or if it even works if the owner is dead.” That's a mystery that he wants to find out but not at his or Kula's expenses. That didn't help calm down mentally the red-haired one.
“Now I will like to know...Just how much do you know about these?” Rusher signals to the Sphere of Rage and afterward shows his very own legendary piece.
“...” Alice doesn't know what to say at all. Come to think of it: How much does she know about her piece? Other than if she stays in what Emuna deemed as The “Rage” state that her life will be in danger to a point of dying she knows nothing about its origin or who was the previous owner.
“Staying silent would only make matters worse Mrs. Hishikawa.” Told the leader of LeGrace in a stern tone. It will be unwise to not be honest with him...not until she finds some sort of way for getting out of this place...if there is a way out that is.
“I...I don't know. I guess the only thing that I know is the consequences of me using what is called “Rage”.”
“Rage, Huh? Is that what is called?” Nodding the red-haired girl continued.
“If I stayed in that form for long I could...Die.”
“Die...Hmm...so is similar to “it”.”
“It?” she wonders what he was talking about.
“You may not know but we are a special kind of group.”
“Special?”
“I don't know what the others think of what we have but I can assure you that it is more of a curse than a blessing.” He shows his mechanical arm to her. “You must be wondering, how did I lose my arm, correct?”
“Um...Someone chop your arm while interrogating you?” Tried to joke Alice.
“Even as a bad joke, I wish that would've been the case Mrs. Hishikawa. No, This is the consequence of someone who uses the M.I.S.T.”
“M.I.S.T.?!” Was that a Code-name for some project they were constructing in this whatever place this is?
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
“Is as the name suggests a blue mist that enhances someone's speed, strength, and reactions among other types of abilities that you earn from it.” Blue mist...that was the strange aura that Min and that huge almost bald big guy had during their “Training” section.
“Um, how does that have to do with you losing your arm?”
“Well, for starters...” He goes and grabs her head making Alice flinch and force to look at his cold red eyes.
“How about the fact that like your “Rage” that you get from this sphere here the Mist wants...something from you.”
*gulp*
That seems like something that she will like to not have known. So, that thing can take something from them...
“I, Er, see that kind of sucks.”
“Understandable that you are nervous right now. However, rest assured that if you do as you are told I promise you that you will leave this place in 1 piece.”
()
To keep him in one class is not very easy. This speed, strength, reaction, and aggressiveness is like anything he has experienced before. He was running out of option but he was not going to give up...not yet!
Dodging the aura tail, Sexan trust forward only to be blocked by his opponent's Kris dagger.
“Heh, at this rate...I won't be able to keep up with you anymore.”
“...” No response then again there hasn't been a response from his brown-haired opponent since what he said to him a few minutes ago. He wonders now...what is Richard Kurosagi thinking at this moment.
Kurosagi's mind was like an A.I. Right now. Analyzing and counter-attacking or defending every move his opponent was doing. His legendary piece vibrant, and luminously bright. It seems to understand it's masters situation...anger. Thou it is almost unknown as to why...only he and its master know the cause, right now they are trying to defeat their opponent but then...what? That's a question that needs to be answered in a few minutes. It seems that times are of the essence and running out.
*Clang*
*swoosh*
The sounds of metal plus the sound of the two speedy teens resonated through the area while sparks flew from different sides from blurs that moved around the city.
As the fight went on one of the blurs went down fast and crashed to the ground.
As the dust settled that blur belonged to Sexan Arifer. Looks like Richard Kurosagi is too strong for him. Even if he is not giving up on this fight he still has to admit that. Kurosagi ready to deliver the final blow of this dragged long fight charged at the boy in front of him at blinding lighting speed.
*Clang*
Clang?! Why a Clang? Should it be a swing and a slushing sound! The reason for the clang was because someone stopped the attack.
“You...!” Who could that person be?! Well, there is only one person that could stop such a speedy attack in so little time.
“You are wasting too much time with this loser...If you can't fight him on pace...” It was the voice of the one Rival that has known the brown-haired teenage dragon aura kid that had his Kris Dagger clashing with the big Buster Sword.
“Then let someone who can handle this loser...This is no place for weaklings like you.” Harry Kishima has entered Omega and from the looks of it, he is ready to fight for days if he has to. Being the powerhouse that he is he yelled and backed off Richard like it was nothing making their distance a lot farther before Harry screamed becoming Lighting Flash before as the name stated disappeared with a bolt sound and went on to make Kurosagi for the first time block on the defense. His father told him to enter Omega and help Sexan Arifer. He said something about “having a training section that can wake up the brown-haired teen from his...Dragonite state.”. He was very bored anyway of watching someone as weak as that boy getting his ass kicked by his rival, besides with this result he can prove that he is superior to his rival in every way no matter what form he takes. “Dragonite” “Super Omega Warrior” “Full Demon” it does not matter! He will prove that he is the strongest warrior in Omega!

“You find ways to keep setting the bar up.”
“Well, I wouldn't be the president of the world's largest online virtual reality game if I didn't now would I?”
“You do have a point there...” Silence among the two adults echoed the office before Xino spoke again.
“She sure is taking her sweet time.”
“She is not as young as she was back then.”
“She doesn't look like she is old. Seriously, she's in her freaking 60's!!”
“Ahem!” Oh yeah!
“Sorry, Inès.”
“This person who you are waiting for, it wouldn't happen to be her is it?”
“Maybe...?” She sees...the more she spends time being Leos' secretary the more she wonders what is on that brain of his...is like a never-ending gear. Grinding ideas and unpredictable ones at that. May lead people into dangerous territories...not like the company is a safe space, to begin with, and the real world doesn't help with that either.
()
The battle has been destructive and intense. Thou, considering that it's a battle of perhaps two of the most powerful Omega players in the world it shouldn't be much of a surprise.
“Is this all you got? Come on! I know you are better than this loser!” Told the 3 times Omega champion to his rival. Richard just shook his head before glaring at Harry.
“Humph!” Harry got ready to fight again as the brown-haired Dragonite vanished before appearing behind him in which Kishima responded by blocking it with his sword.
“I told you, didn't I? This form was specifically designed to defeat you even in that form.” he backed him away before blocking W.D.S.F. Attacks from his opponent with his lightning master slashes creating small explosions in the process.
“Unbelievable...he is matching Kurosagi blow for blow.” Said Sexan. The speed and power of both Omega Warriors were hard to keep up. Is this what world-class level Omega Warriors look like?! If they were on earth there would most likely be nothing left of it. That's a very scary thought, in the real world they can barely lift 60-70 pounds dumbbells but in here...they can do anything even be capable of destroying places like the moon or even asteroids with a clean slash, a blast of energy or even their very own fists. Still, standing here doing nothing...it feels so wrong. He has to do something! He didn't come all this way just to go back being unable to help save Alice Hishikawa! He has to save her, he owns it to her.
()
What can she do? She is given a chance to help them...albeit is not like she has a choice on this matter. Help them in whatever they need to do to get that M.I.S.T. Out of their bodies or stay in here and wait for a hopeless rescue team to somehow locate wherever she is in. Thou he did promise one thing: her safety. She doesn't know if that's reassuring or the moment that she does what he told her to do he will kill her when the distance is very far. Trusting a terrorist group is not the wisest thing to do, especially if you are being captive by said group. Still, so far they had treated her like someone that has been working with them for years. The food wasn't bad neither, thou she wishes that her roommate didn't feed a goddamn Venus flytrap the size of a Freaking HUMAN!! At least she is now in a different room...this one with a lot of monitors...watching her...come to think of it...Maybe being in a room with Venus Flytrap doesn't seem to bad right now.
“Hmm...I see...interesting.”
“Um...You have been...monitoring me for a while and er, I don't even know why?” The red-haired mentioned while getting nervous by the minute and shifting to the other side when another monitor flew beside her.
“I am just analyzing your body...for being just an average teenage girl...you seem to have a lot of adrenaline hidden inside that body.” The small genius girl sitting in a hover inclined chair. She wonders if the legendary piece Sphere of Rage has anything to do with her “patients” high adrenaline levels. Hmm, from what she sees two different red cells roaming around her blood system, one darker than the other. She wonders...
“Extend your left hand this way.”
“Eh?! Um, I don't know...”
“Trust me...it will not hurt.”
('That's what's worries me.')
“...O-Okay.” She doesn't want to refuse since it seems that the girl in front of her has a very close connection with Rusher...that's one person she doesn't want to upset.
“EP!!” That's kind of surprising! Is she sure this won't hurt?!
Needle injected Alice wince a bit before she knew it the needle was gone.
“That should do it.” a small sample of Alice blood was in a tube before it was stored on a capsule below.
'Analyzing...80%...90%...100% Analysis complete, unknown blood cell found, proceeding to test different subjects.' Too many numbers...Richard would have a field day with this considering how much of an aficionado he is of technology. Richard...She wonders if he...
“Is something wrong?”
“Eh?! No is nothing!!” How long until she is found missing? Have they already sent out a rescue team to look for her?! She bet everyone is worried about her. Her father, her friends, Jessenia...her mother...no she doubts it at the last one would care about her considering she doesn't seem to see her as someone very important.
“You are such a weird girl.”
“Huh?”
“Leave those tears to yourself.” Tears? Huh? Why is she crying?! She didn't even cry when she thought no one would find her quickly! Heck, she even going to be bold and say she feels a bit relaxed because she knows she is sort of safe. After all, their leader told her that she will be fine and under their protection. She missed her friends sure but she knows that they will find a way to find her...they have the president of Omega for that plus their parents! Even Jessenia would help to try to find her. So why...
Ignoring the weird red-haired teen beside her Kula just watches as she uses the blood samples to different types of blood from ill blood...Malaria, Dengue, She even got the rare black plague inside a quarantine tube. That thing came back on the west side of this world, only idiots would allow such thing to be revived, no wonder that place has split itself into two, it was probably to get rid of the idiots and insane people on that place. Whatever, hmm? Even that deadly disease...is...!!
“Gone...” Just like that, it didn't even pass 10 seconds and those dark red cells just went and absorbed the other blood that had those diseases and they were gone. Like putting water in a pot and boiling it in an oven, evaporated into nothing. This is quite the discovery, immunity to diseases is that what the Sphere of Rage will give to the owner?! Can this blood be transferred to other people? If so, if everything comes into fruition maybe, just maybe...they have found the answer they were seeking for years.
“Quite Interesting.”
()
His rival seems to get the memo, huh? Even so, he still seems to lack something.
“Is this it, Kurosagi?! Come on show me this power that your legendary piece gives you. Or maybe this is it?!” Richard just came out of the building looking toward his rival Harry.
“No...that's not it, is it? You have lost to yourself, look at you...I can't believe I lost to a loser like you, at this rate you will embarrass our country in the upcoming Omega Team World Tournament.” Harry easily dodged the white dragon strike fang before blocking his rivals kick with his right arm. Using said momentum he knee him with blinding speed making the brown-haired boy cough and backing him a few feet away.
“Say something...you are annoying me at this rate. The rival I know would've come with some witty stupid shit to say at this point...or is it that loser of a friend of yours.” Harry blocks the dagger.
“I see...that made you react differently.” His eyes...yeah those are the eyes of a warrior who is desperately trying to save someone.
“If you are going to lose control then you better off not going on this rescue mission at all.” Richard felt a hard metal going through his flesh. It was Harry's, is impossible right? He was right there in front of him! No, he wasn't that was just someone else behind him it wasn't Harry it was...
“Took you long enough.”
“Sorry but, I never liked using dirty tactics like this to win the fight.” Said the other Harry before transforming back to...Sexan.
“Humph, you think I care, heck you think they will care if you do or not? In this battle, you will have to do whatever it takes to win to reach your goal...even if it means doing things that you will be disgusted by.” Harry told Sexan.
“So is he...”
“Hell should I know!! But we stopped him from going insane and trying to kill you didn't we?!”
“I guess you are right...Still what triggered this surge of power?” Asked Sexan. Never in his life, he has seen such power.
“His resolve.”
“His resolve?”
“Yes, that and a little of desperation. Imagine not being able to protect a friend of yours even when you were far away from them. Do you think you are the only one that is trying to prove something? Think again, everyone that is training is doing it too.”
“What about you? Why did you come here to help me? Is it...”
“Before you come to crappy conclusions, I don't give a rat ass what happened, the only thing I care about is having a rival at 100%. That way I can crush him with my sword and prove that I am the most powerful Omega Warrior on the planet.” So, is just a matter of pride with him. Sexan sweatdropped as he thought that.
“So what now?”
“The hell should I know!”
“Well, you can take his place, my son.” Said Harry's father in the intercom.
“Huh?!”
“A-are you serious?” It was bad that Sexan had to handle this form of Kurosagi, there was no way he can beat the one person who could match up to the brown-haired teen that is now unconscious on the ground. Albeit, he needed his help to defeat Richard but still...!
“Give him time, he'll wake up soon...trust me.” This time was the voice of Richard's father who said that. The man was confident that his son will wake up from the fight that was going on inside his son's mind.
()
“Huh?” He is back here?! Hmm...the last time he was here.
“Oh, you are back!” Oh, that's the voice of...him turning the way of the voice wasn't what he imagined. It was the dragon but this time it was turning a darker blue color and he was glaring at him.
“WAHH!!” Richard fell on his ass before looking further up on top of the head of Omega to see the First Omega.
“Careful, Omega doesn't seem to be quite happy with what you use his power for.” Use the dragon's power...Oh! Come to think of it, he remembered a bit he was fighting against Sexan and...Hmm, what did he do next? F.O. Sighed.
“You do not remember? You went all insane on that boy, kind of went like an A.I. With no emotions and tried destroying that kid.”
“Eh?” He doesn't remember...
“Luckily, that guy with black hair and that BIG SWORD stopped you.” Big...Wait!
“Harry!! He is inside Omega!!?”
“Oh, so that's the name of that kid. But yeah, he fought you out equally, he even deceived you and beat you with the help of the other guy...what was his name...Sec...Sem...Ah! Sexan that's his name!” Harry Defeated him? Hmm, when was the last time he lost to him in a one on one confrontation? Last year in the last regional before the world tournament? Yeah, it was there he got annihilated by him in the semi-finals. That was the first time he lost in such a convincing faction too.
“So anyway, here you are.”
“That's great but I have to go back to training,” Richard said to the girl on top of the dragon's head.
“Oh, sorry but I am afraid that you won't be waking up for a couple of hours.” Huh?!
“And why is that?!”
“Because...I made sure you won't wake up until you get that mind of yours clear.” Her tone seemed very serious. Clear his mind?! What is she talking about?
“I don't follow. I am fine, see.” He jumps just to emphasize the point.
“Are you? Because your mind doesn't feel very clear to me.”
“I am fine! Really?!” Again a sigh from the girl before she jumps off the dragon and landed gracefully in front of him and tapping him on the forehead. This causes the brown-haired boy to unbalance and fall again.
“A tap on the forehead wouldn't knock you out like that if your mind was fine...” She then picked the Kris Dagger before pulling it out to show him. Eye widen the charismatic teenage boy can see something different about his weapon it was...black and with a dark aura surrounding it. A very dark negative aura at that.
“And your Kris Dagger wouldn't exhibit this much negative hatred toward something.” The legendary piece glowed as a response to the girl's words. It seems the legendary piece was agreeing with her in some way.
“Even Diamond Dragonite is agreeing with me...so I ask again...what...is...bothering...YOU?”
()
“So what did you find?”
“It seems that the Sphere of Rage does more than just increase the owner's strength.”
“Oh?”
“It creates a different red blood cell that works like a white blood cell, the only exception is that this one can take out any disease regardless of how advanced and deadly it is. It kills everything that deems a threat to the body that these blood cells are inserted in. Here take a look at this...” Some monitors appeared showing Rusher the results of Kula's tests.
“I see...And you are saying they are inside Alice Hishikawa's body?”
“Yes...If we find a way to transfer some of her blood like a vaccine to us then...”
“There might be a chance that we can get rid of the M.I.S.T.”
“Or at the very least the effects of it. That way we don't have to worry about the consequences. We might not get rid of it completely but at the very least we won't be concerned about losing our lives over it.” Kula pointed out. Hmm, it might not be the result that he hoped for but...it is a step forward to their freedom of this cursed M.I.S.T.
“Very well. How long will it take for a vaccine to be created?”
“Hmm...if miss Hishikawa becomes cooperative with this it should be done in 48 hours.” That long huh? That means if Alice Hishikawa becomes obedient they will at least have some sort of vaccine that will repress the M.I.S.T.
“48 hours...it will take the same amount of time before the next move from LeDutch takes place.” Constructing that thing would have taken a week but thanks to the pearls Their boss would be able to have that thing movie in 2-3 days, if they are going to invade Japan again they need all the strength they can gather and having this vaccine would help in that cause. There is no motive after them being “free” from the M.I.S.T. So they just might as well tag along with this invasion of his.
“Alright then, I will speak to her about the situation. She seems to be more obedient when I am the one speaking to her.”
“You seem very eager to speak to her. Is there any reason for it?”
“None and eager is not something that I am looking at when it comes to speaking to her. Is more of...curiosity.”
“Oh?”
“In any case, make the preparations as soon as possible and run more test, I want to be more than 100 percent sure this is not a temporary thing and is a permanent effect of the Sphere of Rage.” He informed her.
“Will do and Rusher...”
“Hmm?”
“Thank You...Father would have been proud of you, after all, you are the first super soldier to succeed.”
“...Yes...Succeed.” Rusher “success” was more based on luck...if it wasn't because of his chief he would've probably ended up like the rest of the soldiers who were in that project...yes he is thankful for Rowan's father but more importantly, he is thankful that he had a very powerful leader back then.

Alice has been silent for hours and couldn't even sleep. Just how long...how long until she is kept in this place...what would happen to her? Where would Rusher even do after she does what he tells her? Can she even trust that, just because he said she will get out in 1 piece that doesn't mean she will be spared and she will live her life honky dory! He could say 1 piece as in she could end in a body bag or even on ashes that counts as a 1 piece, right? There are so many things that she doesn't know about this group and it scares her...it scares her a lot. All she can do is hope...hope that either she is indeed let go somewhere in Japan or...Richard and the others come and rescue her...the more she thinks the more she wants the later come true.
