DAY 4 – VILLAINESS
In one of Ancients religious beliefs, a soul structure is consisted of three “hun” and seven “po”. When an Ancients has died, his/her soul would be divided into three separated “hun” and his/her seven “po” would also be vanished. Furthermore, the first “hun” would stay at the grave; the second “hun” would stay at the spirit tablet; the third “hun” would stay in the underworld. The one which stays in the underworld would be in a trial and then waits for the reincarnation.

Devil’s Triangle
Floating City of Atlantics
Garden of Ms-nht
Near the pond at the center of Garden of Ms-nht, the battle between good and evil had been carried on for several hours. Mr. Death and Mr. Emperor were holding off Asmodeus’s attacks, while Ms. Traitor and Ms. Empress had engaged in the battle against Belphegor. Nevertheless, both sides did suffer minor injuries.
Although, Ms. Empress’s spear – Rhongomiant had thrust towards Belphegor. But her attacks were blocked by Belphegor’s shields. In return, Belphegor was shield bashing and successfully forced Ms. Empress into the defensive stance. Ms. Empress lowered her spear near the ground, then she turned to Ms. Traitor and said.
“Tch, this is frustrating. Belphegor’s weapons… Those two tower shields of hers. Definitely, they are very useful up against us.”
Meanwhile, Shin King Kuma had already launched several uppercut and jabs onto Belphegor. But, all of those attacks were also blocked by those shields. Ms. Traitor glanced at those tower shields and replied.
“This is way too extreme. Nobody would have two tower shields as the main weapon of choice. This level of observe is insane.”
Ms. Empress glanced at her surroundings.
“At this rate, we cannot advance further into the mansion… Umm…There is something is fishy…”
Ms. Traitor nodded in agreement.
On the other side of pond, Mr. Emperor used several of his Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu techniques, which did successfully block those furious attacks from Asmodeus. Afterwards, Asmodeus did not advance; but instead, she took several steps backward and returned to her defensive stance. Mr. Emperor had noticed this little change and returned his Demon-muramasa to its sheath. He turned to Mr. Death and said.
“Tch, a berserker… But, this is strange. What is she trying to accomplish? It seems she is expecting for something to happen.”
Mr. Death stared at him for a moment.
“Oh really? What kind?”
Suddenly, a ringtone had been sounded. This ringtone had sounded very odd. Since, it was not a music nor a voice at all. It was a sequence of beeps and pauses. It seemed the ringtone was trying to broadcast a message to someone around here. Later, Mr. Emperor stared to Mr. Death and said.
“The atmosphere had changed.”
Mr. Death’s mouth curved into a smile and said.
“Don’t worry… You will be fine…”
Immediately, Mr. Death started to launch an assault on Mr. Emperor. Lucky, Mr. Emperor had realized the slight changes from Mr. Death’s facial expression. Such that, he was aware of this assault from Mr. Death. He drawn his Demon-muramasa once again and managed to blocked it.
He stared at Mr. Death closely and said.
“You are one of them! EMPRESS! WATCH OUT!”
Once, Ms. Empress heard his message. She immediately turned to Ms. Traitor, while Ms. Traitor was looking at Mr. Death. She shouted at him with an angry tone.
“WTF? What are you doing? MR. DEATH!”
Mr. Death did not answer her call. But instead, he was pursuing Mr. Emperor with his attacks that had been successfully cornered him with the help of Asmodeus.
Asmodeus looked at Mr. Death and asked.
“You’ll be late for the meeting!”
Mr. Death stared at Asmodeus and answered boldly.
“Shut up! Just end this shit quickly.”
Asmodeus nodded, while her executioner's sword was clashing with Mr. Emperor’s Demon-muramasa. At once, her massive physical strength did manage to overcome his. But before, his lower body got nailed down into the ground. Mr. Death had successfully sliced him in half at the waist.
Although, Ms. Empress and Ms. Traitor were trying to rush to his aids. However, Belphegor had intercepted them by using the shield bash. Instantly, their bodies flew back as the tower shields made an impact with them. This impact had flung them across the garden until Shin King Kuma had successfully caught them in it arms. Once, they got on their feet. Ms. Empress looked at Ms. Traitor and said.
“You should go now and find Ms. WF as soon as possible. Just tell her that there is a turncoat among us.”
Ms. Traitor glanced at her surroundings.
“Let’s retreat and regroup with others first.”
Ms. Empress shook her head.
“There is no time… You better go and alert the others, now!”
Ms. Traitor looked at her closely. She noticed that Ms. Empress had lost her right-arm during the impact and she was bleeding badly.
“You cannot stop the bleeding… I will buy you some time.”
Ms. Traitor nodded heavily with an uneasy feeling that Mr. Death had turned against her.
Then, Ms. Empress turned around. She glanced over her shoulder and said.
“NOW GO!”
After the death of Mr. Emperor, Mr. Death and Asmodeus had come over to pursuit Ms. Empress and Ms. Traitor. When Ms. Empress charged with her Rhongomiant towards Belphegor, her spear was sent flying towards Mr. Death. Meanwhile, Asmodeus’s executioner's sword had landed on her neck and sliced through it.
Once, Mr. Death dodged the spear. He had noticed that Ms. Traitor had escaped from the garden with the help of Shin King Kuma. But, he did not send out Belphegor nor Asmodeus to pursuit her. Instead, he ordered them to fallback and waited.
At this moment, Mr. Juggler and Mammon had also arrived at the garden. Mr. Juggler took a closer look at those dead bodies. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said.
“Mr. Death, you had failed. You had let Ms. Traitor to escape.”
Mr. Death glanced at Mr. Juggler.
“Tch, this is none of your concern.”
“Oh well, I just remind you. You better have a good reason for that. Otherwise…”
“I will explain this to our lord.”
Then, Mr. Death glanced at his wristwatch.
“Ugh… Then, we better get going. The meeting will start soon.”
<<< === === >>>
A while later, the five of them had arrival at the Mansion Ms-nht’s front door. Mammon, Belphegor and Asmodeus curtsied and said.
“Welcome back – FuuRinKaInZanRai… Our lord is excepting your arrival.”
Mr. Death and Mr. Juggler bowed and then entered into the mansion. Hence, they went up to the second floor. Inside the corridor, a gentleman who wore an Outlaw Vest with a Steel Ranch Dress Slacks was approaching towards them. Then, he stopped in front of them and opened up a conversation.
“Howdy! Mr. Death and Mr. Juggler.”
Mr. Juggler lifted an eyebrow and replied.
“Howdy! It’s been a while.”
The gentleman rested his chin in his palm and looked thoughtful.
“Actually, only a day or so.”
Mr. Death glanced over that gentleman.
“So, you are back… Mr. Hermit.”
Mr. Hermit’s mouth curved into a smile and replied.
“Yay… The real deal is here! Muhaha…”
Mr. Death looked at the end of the corridor.
“I believe so… Our lord is expecting our arrivals.”
Mr. Hermit pondered for a moment.
“Oh, our lord isn’t here yet.”
Mr. Death narrowed his eyes, while Mr. Hermit tried to explain the situation.
“Don’t look at me like that… I was with him a while ago… However, he…”
Mr. Death glowered at Mr. Hermit.
“You are supposed to protect him. You shall follow him no matter what!”
Mr. Hermit slammed his eyes shut.
“Our lord ordered me to wait here. What can I do?!”
Mr. Death’s eyes rolled skyward.
“Never mind then… So, according to the plan… We are now at stage three…”
Mr. Juggler widened his eyes.
“Are we?! Then, what shall we do?”
Mr. Death with a confident smile.
“We just wait for her signal.”

Bottomless Pit
Romanche Furrow
Underwater Passageway
The underwater passageway was a long passage underneath the Romanche Furrow that leaded to Tower of Babylon. At one point, it was a network of linked passages and open spaces. Due to its geographical location, a series of collapses had made it impassable in certain areas throughout the time. There were also numbers of cave-ins along the passages; while these blocked areas could be a deathtrap for any unwelcome guests.
After several hours of exploration within the passageway, there was still no sign of Ms. Wheel of Fortune. Everyone had become cautious since the turncoat could be still living among them. But, there was another dilemma that was about why Ms. Wheel of Fortune was missing. She also could be the turncoat too. But, nobody got any solid evidence which indicated Ms. Wheel of Fortune was the culprit behind the sabotage. However, it might be too complicated in order to explain what did happen after all.
Ms. Batons was pondering inside her mind, while she was leading the way. A moment later, everyone had arrived into an open area. Ms. Batons surveyed this open area pointedly and then suggested to have a rest in there before they continued their expedition.
Ms. Batons glanced at her surroundings.
“Let’s rest a bit.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure had jumped down in between the group. Ms. Batons stared at that shadowy figure and noticed it was an Amphibian, who wore a blue embroidered robe with a staff in his right-hand. Hence, the shadowy figure opened up a conversation with the group.
“Hello, everyone… Let’s me introduce myself first. My name is Zoca Fargloom… Welcome to the passageway, and now…”
Zoca glanced at them for a moment, then continued.
“Umm, I see… A full party… But, no healer... Haha…"
Ms. Justice instantly drawn out her Skofnung and then summoned the Twelfths. Meanwhile, Zoca glanced over the shoulder and said.
“It is SHOW TIME!”
Hence, another shadowy figure was charging into the Twelfths. This shadowy figure was a Reptilians, who wore in a Crusader Cloak and Tunic. He took out his retiarius and then threw his net across the room. Meanwhile, he was shouting at Ms. Justice.
“I’m Dante Dementoio. You shall be my opponent!”
Dante was stabbing and smacking along on his way towards Ms. Justice, while she had become entangled in his net. At this moment, Ms. Judgement had unleashed her attack with her Honjo-masamune and tried to intervene.
Suddenly, a female Avian who wore a Lorica segmentata had flew down from the ceiling. She instantly blocked Ms. Judgement’s attack by using her Parma. Then, her Gladius slashed horizontally towards Ms. Judgement’s neck.
Meanwhile, Ms. Judgement stared at the Gladius that was coming closer and closer to her neck. Then, she heard a male voice.
“Wow, I made it… Hurray Emoji…”
The attack had been blocked by Mr. Tower’s lance. Hence, the female Avian took several backwards and glanced at Mr. Tower.
“My name is Ada Nephilim… And who are you?”
Mr. Tower glowered at Ada and said.
“I’m… Brick wall… Angry Emoji…”
“Tch, just another lower lifeform…”
At the meantime, Ms. Angel was chanting a Wind element magic spell.
“Multiple Vortex! Release…”
Several columns of spinning air had appeared and were rotating towards Ada. However, once they had reached closer to her. Suddenly, they disappeared. Then, Zoca had laughed and said.
“Cheap magic trick… Haha…”
Ms. Angel turned to Ms. Batons and said.
“Dispelled Magic?!… Dang! Shaman…”
Meanwhile, Ms. Batons was staring at Zoca and had not sound a word. Hence, Ms. Angel had tried out the second time. Those vortexes had disappeared once again when they almost reached Zoca. But, before the smokes and derbies had settled down. Zoca had noticed there was a shadowy figure within one of the vortexes. Finally, he had realized the shadowy figure was Ms. Batons and she was attacking him with her signature attack combo.
Zoca stared at Ms. Batons, while she gave him a half-smile and shouted.
“Ruyi Jingu!”
Ms. Batons’s tonfa had combined into a war staff, while she was charging forwards. Her attack had forced Zoca to fallback. But, Zoca was not frighten by Ms. Batons’s surprise attack. Instead, he put up his head and jutted his chin with confidence.
“Magdelena!”
All of a sudden, a Beasts who wore a yellow jumpsuit had dashed towards Ms. Batons and successfully blocked her attack with her nunchaku. Once, their weapons had clashed together. Ms. Batons glanced at the Beasts.
“Magdelena Vanislav?!”
Magdelena nodded and replied.
“How have you been? Ms. Batons… Or should I say… My junior.”
Hence, Magdelena used her elbow to push Ms. Batons backwards. Then, followed up by another shoulder attack that had send Ms. Batons flying across the room. At the meantime, Ms. Batons did several backflips and then landed on her feet.
“Tch, my senior. Using Bajiquan as usual…”
Magdelena glanced at Ms. Batons.
“Haha, you are still alive after all these years.”
Ms. Batons glowered at Magdelena and said.
“I shall take my revenge on you… Murderer!”
“Ah yah… You still didn’t understand that was necessary.”
At once, Ms. Batons had jumped towards Magdelena. Her Ruyi Jingu had swung vertically in the mid-air. Magdelena had also jumped up without any hesitation. Nevertheless, Underdogs had engaged with Forbidden Heroes in an all-out group battle.

18:00
Tower of Babylon
Ground Floor of Last Tower
Main Lobby
At the center of Main Lobby, there was a floating crystal panel. It was located near to the oval-shaped coffered ceiling, which was inset from the main ceiling with chamfered borders. This special crystal panel had the same function as a magic planetarium. At this moment, this panel was showing video images of the battle inside the underwater passageway.
Several persons were sitting on two rows of the sofa that were around a coffee table. Among of the audiences there was Mr. Weirdo. Meanwhile, the group battle between Underdogs and Forbidden Heroes was in a lose-lose situation for both sides. However, that was not really bothering Mr. Weirdo at all. But instead, he was worrying about some other issues.
Later, a shadowy figure in a French maid uniform had appeared behind him.
Mr. Weirdo glanced over the shoulder and said.
“Lucifer, how is everything?”
Lucifer curtsied, then replied.
“According to the plan, everything is on track.”
Mr. Weirdo narrowed his eyes.
“Umm, how is Ms. Lovely?”
“Currently, she was heading towards to Ms. Graceful current location.”
Mr. Weirdo shook his head.
“Sigh, she just never listens to me! Oh well, just send out the rest of Deadly Seven to escort her…”
Lucifer lowered her head and replied.
“Currently, Deadly Seven had already out in the fields…”
Mr. Weirdo rested his chin in his palm for a moment. Then, he turned to Doctor Mistfang and the rest of the audiences.
“Oh… Anyway, Doctor… You and your team shall escort Ms. Lovely at once.”
Doctor Mistfang widened his eyes.
“Pardon me, my lord. But, is this necessary? All of us?”
Mr. Weirdo glowered at them.
“Ms. Lovely is my wife! I want to make sure she is safe… After Ms. Graceful’s Second Awakening, she is now lethal and dangerous… I cannot imagine what will happen once Ms. Graceful reaches the Third Awakening.”
Doctor Mistfang glanced at his surroundings.
“I understood your concern. But…”
Mr. Weirdo glanced at Doctor Mistfang and others.
“Doctor, NO MORE!”
Mr. Mistfang lowered his head.
“I understood.”
Mr. Weirdo turned his attention back to the floating crystal panel and said boldly.
“By the way, who could be that stupid enough to work against me now? Muhaha…”
Doctor Mistfang bowed and left the scene with the others. Before, Doctor Mistfang and his team left Last Tower. He turned around and said.
“Maybe we should leave someone behind in case of something happen.”
Meanwhile, Duke Achard had arrived at the front gate of Last Tower. Once, Doctor Mistfang noticed that. He turned to Duke Archard and asked.
“Duke Archard, how are you?”
Duke Achard smiled back.
“I’m fine. Thanks.”
Doctor Mistfang looked at Duke Achard.
“May I ask, what business brings you here?”
“I came here because I have some personal business with my grand cousin.”
Doctor Mistfang bowed.
“I see. Please go ahead.”
Then, Duke Achard turned around and entered to the Main Lobby. At the meantime, Doctor Mistfang said to his team.
“I got a bad feeling about this… Vlad, Nocturnal, Damion and Adel! The four of you, go back and protect Mr. Weirdo immediately.”
The four of them nodded in agreement, and then went back to the Main Lobby.
“Kristin, Narisa and Teressa! The three of you, go and meet up with Ms. Lovely. She probably will intervene the fight between Ms. Graceful and Cybelia at Second Tower.”
These three ladies curtsied and left the scene. Then, Doctor Mistfang pondered for a moment.
“It doesn’t seem right though… Certainty, Killer Incorporation would start their counterattack on the mansion. It is because they would think that the mansion would be our command post… But, there wasn’t any report from Deadly Seven yet… Nothing had happened?! How is that possible? The plan was by lurking around the mansion. Once, Killer Incorporation had arrived. Then, we could ambush them… Unless…”
Doctor Mistfang turned to his team and said.
“The rest of the group, follow with me. We are heading back to Mansion of Ms-nht now.”
<<< === === >>>
After Doctor Mistfang and others had left the Main Lobby, Mr. Weirdo pointed at the floating crystal panel and asked.
“Umm, what do you think, Lucifer?”
Lucifer took a look at the floating crystal panel.
“No matter what will happen, the result would be the same.”
Mr. Weirdo’s mouth curved into a smile.
“Muhaha… Of course, everything is under my control… Muhaha…”
Later on, Mr. Weirdo had noticed Duke Achard had entered to the Main Lobby. He glanced at Duke Achard, while Duke Achard was standing in front of him.
“Dear granduncle, what bring you here?”
Duke Achard bowed and replied.
“Something personal…”
Mr. Weirdo narrowed his eyes.
“Like what?”
The corners of Duke Achard’s mouth turned up.
“Mr. Weirdo, your time is up!”
Mr. Weirdo glowered at him and exploded out of the sofa.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY? MY DEAR GRANDUNCLE!”
Duke Achard jutted his chin and continued.
“Your trial had completely failed. You cannot overcome yourself to become the grandmaster of all villains.”
Mr. Weirdo rested his chin in his palm and smiled.
“Haha… Granduncle, you are really funny!”
At the meantime, Mr. Weirdo glanced at the surroundings and found out that the four Forbidden Heroes had just entered into the Main Lobby. So, he stared at Duke Achard and said boldly.
“Duke Achard, at your age… You should retire at once. Especially, when you are obsoleted.”
Duke Achard gave him a confident smile and said.
“Mr. Weirdo, you relied on Forbidden Heroes too much…. And also… Deadly Seven…”
Without any second thought, Mr. Weirdo gave out the order.
“KILL HIM!”
Hence, these four Forbidden Heroes had initialized their killing strikes onto Duke Achard. But, he had not tried to dodge them. But instead, Duke Achard stood still and waited for those attacks to come towards his body. All of a sudden, there were two French maids had come out from his shadow. Both French maids did manage to block these attacks, while Duke Achard’s face twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile.
“You still haven’t reach that level yet… Mr. Weirdo…”
Once, Mr. Weirdo had recognized those French maids were Beelzebub and Leviathan. Then, he turned around and looked at Lucifer.
“Deadly Seven?! Lucifer! What is going on? Why…. Wait! WTF?! Where is your red collar?”
Lucifer’s mouth twisted a little bit, then she slowly drew out her flaming sword.
“According to our lord’s plan, it is the time you die!”
Mr. Weirdo glowered at Lucifer and then activated his special skill – Time Warp.
Spacetime had stopped instantly, while Mr. Weirdo brandished his fist and said.
“Tch… A bunch of newbies… None of you could possible to kill me. Muhaha…”
Mr. Weirdo slowly walked toward Duke Achard and said.
“My dearest granduncle, you probably could foresee what’ll happen now… Muhaha…”
Then, he grimaced at Lucifer.
“Lucifer, even thought you had already found a way to break the binding curse from the red collar. However, you and the others couldn’t be able to kill me. There won’t be anyone who could surpass my supremacy of Time Magic. Muhaha… It is the time to teach all of you a lesson, which must be paid by your death.”
Then, Mr. Weirdo took out a dagger from his sleeve and slowly placed it near Lucifer’s neck. Before, Mr. Weirdo started to slit her throat. He suddenly glanced over the shoulder. It seemed he was worry a little bit. Nevertheless, everyone had been halt by his Time Warp.
Although, no one could be able to move freely at this moment. However, Mr. Weirdo glanced his surrounding for a second time. Then, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Maybe, it is only my imagination… Oh, wait… What’s that noise?”
Mr. Weirdo had clearly heard a footstep sounds from the hallway. The footstep sounds were slowly closing in. Then, he pondered for a second.
“Ha… Someone is here… But, who? Who could be able to escape my Time Warp’s effect?”
Mr. Weirdo saw a girl who was slowly walking towards him. He glanced over the girl again and he found out that she wore a lace-up bow flare sleeve dark purple maid dress with a pair of Lolita princess bow platform high heel shoes. Afterwards, Mr. Weirdo plastered a smile on his face.
“Oh my god! It is you! Finally, we had met in person… Ms. Fateful, the second wife of The Fool!”
Ms. Fateful had stopped. Then, her mouth curved into a smile and said.
“Hehe… Mr. Weirdo, are you ready to die? By the way, there is always one person could surpass your silly Time Warp.”
Mr. Weirdo glowered at her.
“WHO?”
She gave Mr. Weirdo a cocky wink and replied
“My lord, The Fool.”
Mr. Weirdo narrowed his eyes.
“He is dead! Completely D… E… A… D…”
She smirked at him.
“Oh really?! But for me, I don’t think so. Anyway, you will never understand that.”
“Seriously… Ms. Fateful… Muhaha… Anyway, I know you are buffing. So, you think you could kill me?
Ms. Fateful rested her chin in her palm and looked thoughtful.
“Oh well… By myself, it would be quite difficult.”
Mr. Weirdo laughed boldly.
“Haha, now what?”
She smirked and tossed her hair over her shoulder.
“Well… Mr. Weirdo, if someone could give me a hand. Then, I promise you. You will die quickly without any pain.”
Mr. Weirdo burst into laughs.
“That’s funny though… Haha… Ms. W… Ops… Ms. Fateful...”
Her face twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile.
“LUCIFER!”
All of a sudden, Lucifer started to move and she was walking towards Mr. Weirdo. Meanwhile, he clinched his jaw at the sight.
“Tch, only two of you?! Wait a second…”
Mr. Weirdo had realized Ms. Fateful had disappeared, while he was talking to Lucifer. He glanced at his surroundings cautiously. But, he found nothing.
Then, Mr. Weirdo felt a sharp pain in his chest. Once, he looked down onto his chest area. He found out there were two swords stabbed through his chest. Mr. Weirdo immediately shouted out loud.
“Argh… Aww… Argh… Aww…”
Meanwhile, Ms. Fateful had stepped out from a dimension gap. Then, she smirked at Mr. Weirdo and said.
“Now, this’s funny. Haha… By the way… No one told you how to crack the secret of…”
Mr. Weirdo’s face winced, while he was staring at her.
“It’s Time Leap… Ms. Fateful or should I address you as… Ms. Wheel of Fortune?!”
Ms. Fateful looked into his eyes and placed a finger on her lips.
“Shh… Just keeps this secret for yourself.”
Then, she turned to Lucifer and said.
“Finish him off!”
<<< === === >>>
After Lucifer had decapitated Mr. Weirdo, she instantly casted a highest tier of Fire magic spell that had burned his dead body into ashes. Then, she picked up those swords and gave them back to Ms. Fateful.
Ms. Fateful looked at Lucifer and said.
“Lucifer, how are you during these days?”
Lucifer curtsied and replied.
“My lady, I am fine and thank you for your help. Otherwise, I will not be able to kill…”
Ms. Fateful shook her head.
“Don’t worry… You had done a great job… I just want to make sure everything is under our plan.”
Lucifer curtsied once again.
“At this stage, our plan is still on track.”
Then, Lucifer looked around the Main Lobby.
“My lady, what about the others?”
Ms. Fateful glanced at her surroundings and then replied.
“I will let Beelzebub and Leviathan out from this silly Time Warp effect. Then, the three of you just kill off those four puppets from Forbidden Heroes.”
Lucifer nodded.
“I understood, my lady. And what about Duke Achard?”
She pondered for a moment.
“Let him go… He had already fulfilled his task… Then, I – Samantha Eldritch Schneider the Fateful, shall release him from his service.”
“I will carry my lady’s message to Duke Achard in person.”
She waved at Lucifer in dismissal. Then, she walked over to the hallway and disappeared in the darkness.
<<< === === >>>
A while later, Time was back to normal. When Duke Achard looked around, he noticed those four Forbidden Heroes were killed by Beelzebub and Leviathan and there was no sign of Mr. Weirdo. So, he turned to Lucifer and said.
“Umm… Mr. Weirdo is dead?!”
“Duke Achard, yes he is dead.”
Finally, Duke Achard breathed a sigh of relief.
“For all those years, my task is finally done.”
Then, Lucifer curtsied and said.
“Duke Achard… You had fulfilled your task. Therefore, my lady had released you from your service.”
Duke Achard bowed and replied.
“I understood. Please pass along my thanks to my lady – Ms. Fateful.”

Bottomless Pit
Romanche Furrow
Underwater Passageway
The group battle between Underdogs and Forbidden Heroes had already been least for several hours. Both sides had shown certain degrees of fatigue. Certainly, it was intensive battle with no holds barred.
Suddenly, a teleport portal had been opened in between Underdogs and Forbidden Heroes. Both sides had stopped the fighting, while everyone were staring at it. Then, three French maids had slowly stepped out from the teleport portal. They were Lucifer, Beelzebub and Leviathan.
Zoca bowed and said.
“Greeting, our lord’s servants. What brought you here?”
Beelzebub glanced over Zoca and replied.
“You had disgrace our lord… Now, DIED!”
Beelzebub took out her Chicago Typewriter and then fired a whole drum magazine onto Zoca. Instantly, Zoca’s upper body was filled with bullet wounds. Meanwhile, the other Forbidden Heroes were totally shocked by her action towards Zoca. However, no one had made a move to stop it. After the shooting, Lucifer had finally spoken up.
“This is a reminder for all of you. Our lord will not tolerate any mistake that would endanger our plan…”
Meanwhile, a smartphone’s ringtone had alarmed everyone. This ringtone had sounded very odd. Since, it was not a music nor a voice at all. It was a sequence of beeps and pauses.
Suddenly, Ms. Angel shouted at Ms. Batons.
“Ms. Batons, WATCH OUT!”
At the meantime, Ms. Angel pushed Ms. Batons away from a surprise attack. Then, Ms. Batons turned around and found out that it was Ms. Justice who attacked her from behind.
Ms. Justice stared at Ms. Angel, while she was pulling out her Skofnung from Ms. Angel’s chest.
“Tch, wasted… I could one-shot Ms. Batons… But, now…”
Once, Mr. Tower saw Ms. Angel was seriously injured. He immediately dashed towards Ms. Justice and attacked her with his lace. But, his attack was blocked by someone else. Mr. Tower was surprised.
“Ms. Judgement, what are you doing? Questionable Emoji…”
After, Ms. Judgement winked at Ms. Justice. Both of them had advance forwards and tried to attack Ms. Batons, while she had skidded to an abrupt halt.
Mr. Tower shouted at Ms. Batons, while he had intervened the Twins’ advance.
“Ms. Batons, NOW RUN! FIND MS. WF… Shouting Emoji…”
On the other hand, the remains members from Forbidden Heroes had took this as their chance to pursuit Ms. Batons and Underdogs. Magdelena and Ada tried to intervene Ms. Batons’ escape. Hence, the Twins had noticed Forbidden Heroes’ intension. So, the Twins had launched their attacks against them at the same time.
Once, Ms. Batons saw this opportunity. She immediately carried Ms. Angel on her back. Then, she gave a hand signal to Mr. Tower and asked him to follow her. Afterwards, the three of them had started to escape from the scene.
Then, Dante turned to Lucifer and asked.
“What now? Shall I…”
Lucifer gave a half smiled.
“Please, go ahead.”
Dante nodded in agreement and started to pursuit Ms. Batons.
<<< === === >>>
A while later, the Twins came to Lucifer, while Lucifer curtsied and said.
“Welcome back, FuuRinKaInZanRai…”
The Twins nodded, while Ms. Judgement had asked Lucifer a question.
“Are they the real deal? It seems those Forbidden Heroes are kind of weak…”
Lucifer glanced over the dead bodies of Magdelena and Ada.
“They aren’t the original… Most of them are the descendent from Forbidden Heroes.”
Ms. Justice widened her eyes.
“So, Mr. Weirdo lied to everyone!”
“Kind of… Nevertheless, our lord had foreseen that. So, he ordered us – Deadly Seven to play along with Mr. Weirdo for a while.”
Ms. Justice pondered for a moment.
“Umm… I see… That makes sense now. But, what about Ms. Batons? Should we go after her?”
Meanwhile, Ms. Judgement turned to Lucifer and asked the same question.
“Should we pursuit them?”
Lucifer paused for a minute. It seemed she was using a message magic spell that could communicated with someone far away. Afterwards, she continued.
“That isn’t necessary… Those Forbidden Heroes will help us… By the way, both of you shall go to the mansion now. Our lord is expecting you two arrivals.”
The Twins looked at each other and said.
“Really?!”
Lucifer, Beelzebub and Leviathan nodded in agreement.

Devil’s Triangle
Floating City of Atlantics
Mansion of Ms-nht
Once, the Twins had arrived at the mansion. Mammon, Belphegor and Asmodeus curtsied and said.
“Welcome back, FuuRinKaInZanRai… Our lord is expecting your arrival… Please go to the second floor’s meeting room.”
Ms. Justice had immediately gone upstairs, while Ms. Judgement looked around and said.
“It has been a while… Finally, we are back.”
Mammon, Belphegor and Asmodeus nodded.
Inside the meeting room, the members of FuuRinKaInZanRai were seated around a table. A finest Earl Grey tea and biscuit had been served, while everyone was raising a teacup and placed it back into the saucer in between sips.
Later on, Mr. Juggler had start a conversation.
“What’s up everyone? It has been a while.”
Mr. Death’s forehead puckered.
“Not really… At most, couples of hours only…”
Mr. Juggler rolled his eyes.
“I mean… We gathered in here as FuuRinKaInZanRai… It has been a while to see each other as FuuRinKaInZanRai.”
Mr. Hermit smiled.
“Certainly, it has been a while. Since, all of us were undercover. Lucky, we are back now.”
Ms. Judgment looked at an empty seat along the table and said.
“But, she isn’t here.”
Mr. Juggler gave her a subtle wink.
“Don’t worry about her. She will be fine…”
A girl had just entered to the meeting room. She was wearing a lace-up bow flare sleeve dark purple maid dress with a pair of Lolita princess bow platform high heel shoes.
Mr. Juggler glanced at the girl and said.
“Speaking of the devil! All of us were just talking about you, Ms. WF…”
Ms. Wheel of Fortune glanced at the surroundings.
“Umm, everyone is here… Finally, FuuRinKaInZanRai had been reunited.”
Ms. Justice nodded vigorously and asked.
“Ms. WF, will our lord be able to attend the meeting?”
Ms. Wheel of Fortune shook her head.
“Sorry, he won’t be able to join us.”
Ms. Justice lowered her head, while Ms. Wheel of Fortune continued.
“Since, we had gathered up once again. Shall we use our past aliases again?”
Everyone looked at each other and pondered for a moment. Then, Mr. Juggler spoke up.
“Ms. WF, don’t you think. If we changed it back, then it will be very confusing for certain people.”
“Like whom?”
“Maybe, Deadly Seven or even for our lord.”
Ms. Wheel of Fortune paused for a moment and then she continued.
“Err… Then, maybe we should keep using our current ones… Anyway, let’s go through our agenda… Shall we?!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
<<< === === >>>
After FuuRinKaInZanRai the gathering, Ms. Wheel of Fortune had left the meeting room. When she was walking down the corridor, she suddenly glanced over her shoulder. Then, she turned her attention towards a shadowy image that had stood behind her.
“Ms. Fateful, what had you done?”
Ms. Wheel of Fortune curtsied and replied.
“My lord, it is for our plan.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, it is necessary… The reunited FuuRinKaInZanRai shall carry out our plan. We shall rule over the Seven Dimensions, such that the Doomsday Prophecy of Ancients could be fulfilled. Then, all races shall be rejoiced by eternal of peace.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“Yes, I’m sure. Despised time calls for desperate measures!”
“Doomsday Prophecy of Ancients could not be stop…”
“Unless, the Main Keeper – Ms. Graceful is fully awaken… Then, all of the seven dimensions shall be reunion as one…”
“However, there is a criterion which must fulfilled in order to do so.”
“My lord, I understood… Currently, Ms. Graceful is on her way to Last Tower. Once, she had reached Temple of Doom. Then she must be killed as an offering… All of the Times would be reset once more… Although, there are certain obstacles in between Ms. Graceful and our plan. However, I believe we could eliminate them within our time frame.”
“Then, I have no more to say.”
The shadowy image had gone, while Ms. Wheel of Fortune’s mouth curved into a smile.
“No matter what challenge I’ve up against… I will revive you… my love… my Fool…”
<< === === >>>
Meanwhile at the corridor, a little girl was approaching. She was wearing a lace-up bow flare sleeve black maid dress, which looked similar as what Ms. Wheel of Fortune had worn.
Ms. Wheel of Fortune glanced at the girl and said.
“So, you are back.”
The little girl curtsied and replied.
“Yes, my lady. I’m at your service.”
“Did you have the Osiris Coffin?”
“Yes… A moment ago, Duke Achard had handed it over to me.”
“That’s good… I will rely on you… my Servant…”
Servant curtsied once again.
“Now, you go over to Temple of Doom and observe the battle between Ms. Lovely and Ms. Graceful. Once, there is a good chance. Then, you can intervene the fight and kill both of them.”
Servant’s face twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile.

Bottomless Pit
Romanche Furrow
Underwater Passageway
Dante was pursuing Ms. Batons and others. Although, he had not caught up with them yet. But, Ms. Batons and others were lost their direction within the underwater passageway. A while later, they had stopped and took some rests for a moment. Their situation was worse. Since, Mr. Tower was badly injury and would not be able to keep up the pace. Meanwhile, Ms. Angel was still in a very bad condition that required immediately medical treatment. Furthermore, Ms. Batons had lost her contact with the other members.
Ms. Batons looked heavenward. She only had a question in her mind.
“At this point, the whole operation had failed… But, why?”
She shook her head several times, and then glanced over the others.
“Who is the turncoat among us… But, wait… Who is actually behind all of this? Mr. Weirdo? Mr. Joker? Umm… Maybe, is The Fool?”
She shook her head again.
Suddenly, a teleport portal had been opened in front of Ms. Batons. She heard a female voice that had come from the portal. That female voice sounded familiar to her.
“Come… Quickly…”
“Ms. Traitor?!”
“Yes, Ms. Batons!”
Ms. Batons nodded. Then, she carried Ms. Angel on her back and also was helping Mr. Tower to enter the portal. Once, they went through the portal. They saw Ms. Traitor with Shin King Kuma stood beside her. She looked fatigue and Shin King Kuma was also worn-out. It seemed Ms. Traitor had suffered minor injury.
Ms. Traitor looked at Ms. Angel and turned to Ms. Batons.
“What happened?”
Ms. Batons shook her head.
“We got ambushed by them… The turncoat is among us…”
Tears filled Ms. Traitor’s eyes.
“You already known that?! It is him…”
“Who?”
“Mr. Death!”
“Wait, Mr. Death?! Hold-on a minute, it is the Twins!”
“Huh?! Now, I’m confused.”
Ms. Batons pondered for a moment.
“Dang! There is more than one turncoat among us!”
Ms. Traitor shook her head, while Ms. Batons continued.
“It seems we got tricked… But, by whom?”
Suddenly, Ms. Batons stared at Ms. Traitor.
“Umm… Why are you here?”
Ms. Traitor lowered her head.
“After Mr. Death turned against us. I had escaped with the help of Big Four. Then, Ms. WF send me a message and asked me to assist you immediately… She gave me your coordination, then I opened the teleport portal… By the way, where is Ms. WF?”
Ms. Batons replied, while Ms. Traitor glanced around.
“Ms. WF isn’t around… She is still missing in action.”
Ms. Traitor’s forehead furrowed.
“Huh?! Ms. WF…”
Ms. Batons glanced at Ms. Angel and Mr. Tower for a second.
“Anyway, we better get going. Both of them are in bad shape. By the way, where are we now?”
Ms. Traitor glanced at her surroundings.
“We are at the outskirt of Devil’s Triangle.”
Ms. Batons looked heavenward.
“Ms. Traitor, I guess we better retreat to Victoria Harbor City.”
Ms. Traitor nodded, while Ms. Batons looked at others.
“We’ll be back, and finish them off.”

Devil’s Triangle
Floating City of Atlantics
Mansion of Ms-nht
Doctor Mistfang and his team were hiding around the mansion for several hours. They were searching for any sign of activities. But, the atmosphere was quiet and nothing was suspicious. It seemed everything was normal from the outsiders. Belphegor and Asmodeus from Deadly Seven were guarding the main entrance gate as usual, while Mammon was patrolling around the mansion’s premise.
Meanwhile, Doctor Mistfang turned to an Automata and said.
“Belladonna, did you detect any suspicious activities inside the mansion?”
“Negative, Doctor.”
“Umm…”
Then, Doctor Mistfang glanced over the shoulder and said.
“How about you Ariel?”
An Angels who had stood behind Doctor Mistfang.
“No magic seal… No trap… Nothing at all.”
Doctor Mistfang looked heavenward.
“Umm… My sixth sense was wrong?! Maybe, I’m thinking too much…”
A Dragons tapped on his shoulder and said.
“Doctor, we cannot possible to gather more information from here. Umm… I think, the easiest way to find the answer is to go inside... I will enter the mansion and seek out for more information.
Doctor pondered for a moment
“Umm…”
“I will contact you once I’m in there.”
Doctor Mistfang turned to a Demon and asked.
“Agon, you go with Eldar.”
“As you wish.”
“You can hide inside Eldar’s shadow… Once, Eldar reaches the gate. Then, you could check out the surroundings.”
“I will search the outside area for any suspicious activities.”
“You guys ready?”
Both of them nodded and then went over to the mansion’s front gate. When they reached the front gate, Belphegor and Asmodeus had noticed their presence and stopped them. Doctor Mistfang was observing both of the French maids’ reaction. It seemed they were waiting for someone.
A while later, Mammon had come over. She glanced at both of the Forbidden Heroes and asked them a few questions. So, Doctor Mistfang turned to Belladonna and asked.
“Any abnormal heat signature around Eldar and Agon?”
Belladonna glanced over the front gate.
“Warning! Incoming projectile… Argh…Aww…”
Belladonna got head-shot by a sniper bullet. Hence, Doctor Mistfang turned around and he saw those French maids were attacking his teammates.
“Dang! Ariel, let’s go.”
“I can… not…”
“Why?”
“They got me… too…”
Doctor Mistfang had noticed blood was dropping rapidly down Ariel’s neck. Then, a shadowy figure appeared out of the darkness. This shadowy figure was at least ten feet tall, who covered with a huge black cloak with a mask on its face.
“Oh my… It is you… Doctor Mistfang.”
Doctor Mistfang glowered at the shadowy figure.
“Mr. Juggler!”
Mr. Juggler widened his eyes.
“Wow… You recognized me… So, you want my autograph?”
At the meantime, Eldar and Agon were slaughtered by those French maids, when Doctor Mistfang narrowed his eyes and asked.
“What do you want?”
“Umm… Let’s me see… For sure, I want you to die. However, someone didn’t want you to die… I got a very contradicting situation in my hand now…”
Mr. Juggler’s words chilled down Doctor Mistfang’s spine.
“I presume someone in a very high position.”
Mr. Juggler smirked at him.
“Hehe, I can’t tell you now. But, that someone wants to meet you in person... So, either you come along with me or else… I will put you to death.”
Doctor Mistfang nodded vigorously and answered.
“I will come with you.”
Mr. Juggler smiled at Doctor Mistfang.
“Haha, smart choice…”
Afterwards, both of them had entered into the mansion. Mr. Juggler escorted Doctor Mistfang to the meeting room. Once, the door had opened. Doctor Mistfang immediately had recognized the culprit behind the whole incident. Then, he bowed down in front of the culprit.
A while later, Doctor Mistfang lowered his head and said.
“I will incorporate with your plan.”
The culprit waved at him in dismissal.
Hence, Doctor Mistfang turned around and left the room. Inside the corridor, he glanced at the surroundings. Suddenly, a female voice had come down from the hallway. Doctor Mistfang turned around and he saw Ms. Wheel of Fortune were approaching.
“Ms. WF?!”
Doctor Mistfang had over reacted once he had saw Ms. Wheel of Fortune was in the mansion.
“Sorry about that… Please accept my sincere apology… From now on, I shall address you as my lady.”
Ms. Wheel of Fortune glanced at him.
“Welcome, Doctor! From now on, it will be my pleasure to working with you.”
“My lady, the pleasure is mine.”
Ms. Wheel of Fortune smiled.
“Please execute our plan accordingly.”
He bowed and replied.
“I understood, my lady.”

Tower of Babylon
Second Tower
Front Courtyard
In the courtyard, there were two young girls. One of them was Ms. Graceful and the other one was in an Oji girl fashion style. The girl wore a classy old school vintage button-down shirts and a canvas pants. She lifted her a round glasses and said.
“They said, you are strong… Ms. Graceful.”
Ms. Graceful glanced at the girl.
“So, you are an Ancients…”
“Yes, my name is Cybelia Despair.”
Ms. Graceful put down Pandora Box and continued.
“Let’s end this quick… Pandora!”
Pandora Box had replied immediately.
“Weapon name – Could not determine… … …”
“User name – Cybelia Despair… … …”
“Directly under – Forbidden Heroes… … …”
“Employer – Solstice… … …”
“Skill – Could not determine… … …”
“Confirmed… … …”
“Master’s order – Not available… … …”
“Target locked… … …”
Ms. Graceful was surprised the analysis result from Pandora Box. She stared at Cybelia for a moment, then she called out her choice of weaponry.
“FRAGARACH!”
“Affirmative.”
Hence, Ms. Graceful pulled out a longsword with a crooked shape blade from Pandora Box. She advanced towards Cybelia with any hesitation. Meanwhile, Cybelia had drawn her longsword from its sheath. Then, she smiled and said.
“This will be fun!”
For most of the time, Cybelia was dodging and blocking Ms. Graceful’s attacks. However, she seemed kind of slacking off, since she did not even try to counterattack. After several rounds of attacks by Ms. Graceful, Cybelia suddenly launched her counterattacks. Her wrath blow was swung from above, and diagonally aimed towards Ms. Graceful’s head.
Ms. Graceful had managed to block it and returned to a defensive stance. She glanced at Cybelia and said.
“Tch, you had watched closely and copied my attacks and movements.”
At this moment, Ms. Graceful changed her stance. She put the right foot forwards, and placing the sword near the knees, with Fragarach aimed Cybelia’s chest. Afterwards, she launched four individual slashes towards Cybelia with a loud shout.
“Now! You died… Mimicker!”
Cybelia returned with smile, and then launched the same four slashes. Furthermore, Cybelia had even called out her attack moves during the sword fight with Ms. Graceful.
“Oberhau… Zornhau… Mittelhau… Unterhau…”
Once, Ms. Graceful noticed her strikes were blocked. She immediately changed to another school of swordsmanship. She launched a combination of left, right and center cut. Meanwhile, Cybelia had successfully mimicked those attacks.
“Sandan begi…”
Afterwards, Ms. Graceful launched another six cuts combo onto Cybelia. However, Cybelia had blocked the attack by using the same swordsmanship technique.
“Bit kwang cha begi…”
Hence, Ms. Graceful took a step forward and launched another strike towards Cybelia’s wrist. Once again, Cybelia had managed to counter it.
“Mein-uchi…”
Cybelia returned her longsword back to its sheath, while she glanced over Ms. Graceful and said.
“Ms. Graceful, no matter how many times you tried or even you had changed your fighting style. I would mimic and counter them. So, you better give up now.”
Ms. Graceful laughed boldly.
“Haha… Cybelia, you aren’t great after all. It is all because your sword – Durendal.”
“Although, you have Fragarach that could cut through anything. However, yours cannot compete with my indestructible sword.”
Ms. Graceful’s face twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile.
“We’ll see.”
Once again, their swords had clashed together. But this time, Cybelia had immediately sent flying backwards across the courtyard until she crashed into the front walls of Second Tower. When Cybelia got up on her feet, she had felt a sharp pain from her right shoulder. She knew that she got a piercing wound and blood was coming out from it. Cybelia glanced at Ms. Graceful once again.
“There is a hidden spell on your longsword… It placed the wind at your command and cut through my Durendal.”
Ms. Graceful’s mouth curved into a smile and replied.
“You cannot mimic that part, when it could only be activated by the owner of Fragarach.”
Cybelia pondered for a while inside her mind.
“Although, my Durendal is indestructible. However, she had used an unknown Wind Spell to bypass my blocking and had successfully injured my shoulder.”
Afterwards, Cybelia glanced at her surroundings. She had found out there were several shadowy figures that had arrived at the lobby of Second Tower.
“Tch, they’re here. I’m running out of time.”
Then, Cybelia turned to Ms. Graceful and said.
“Ms. Graceful, you better find Ms. Lovely.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Cybelia signed.
“Your destiny isn’t fight against Ms. Lovely… You two should work together. Otherwise…”
All of a sudden, an Elves body was send flying across the lobby until it crashed onto the ground near Cybelia’s feet. Cybelia knelt down and found out that was a dead body from one of Forbidden Heroes.
“Kristin?!”
Kiristin answered by using the last of her breath.
“Narisa… Teressa and I… got ambushed… by… the intelligence agency…”
Cybelia widened her eyes.
“FuuRinKaInZanRai?!”
Meanwhile, Cybelia turned to Ms. Graceful and said.
“Leave now… I will hold them off… Go find Ms. Lovely now…”
Ms. Graceful laughed.
“Don’t worry a bit… I will find her and kill her.”
Cybelia signed once again.
“Listen! Ms. Graceful… Things aren’t that simple… Remember! At this point, we aren’t your enemy anymore… The culprit behind this is not Solstice.”
Ms. Graceful still puzzled as why Cybelia said that.
“It was Mr. Weirdo from the beginning.”
Cybelia rolled her eyes.
“I have no time to explain it in detail. Now go and avoid encounter with anyone until you find Ms. Lovely. I believe she had already noticed FuuRinKaInZanRai is behind all of this.”
Ms. Graceful narrowed her eyes.
“Who are FuuRinKaInZanRai?”
Cybelia had not answered the question. Instead, she got up on her knees and then she ran into the lobby of Second Tower. Meanwhile, Ms. Graceful was pondering a while at the doorsteps of its entrance. She was trying to regroup her thoughts. There was too much information for her to process. It seemed everything had twisted into another direction.
All of a sudden, Ms. Graceful heard a female voice that sounded familiar. She turned around and saw a teleport portal had been opened at the center of the courtyard. A lady had come out from the portal. She looked at Ms. Graceful and said.
“Let’s go, Ms. Graceful. I know where Ms. Lovely is... Let’s end this and reclaim peace.”
Ms. Graceful stared at the lady for a while.
“Huh? Ms. WF, is that you?”
Ms. Wheel of Fortune answered with a half smiled on her face.
“Yes, it is me.”

Tower of Babylon
Last Tower
Temple of Doom
This moderately-sized temple was found at the top level of Last Tower. Its exterior was decorated with statues of Ancients figures. Inside, the walls were lined with alcoves, each with a statue and small altar and featured a huge altar with an elaborate altarpiece. Parts of it were half-finished, perhaps being repaired or never completed.
Ms. Lovely narrowed her eyes and asked.
“Lucifer, why bring me up here?”
Lucifer curtsied and replied.
“My lady, it’s our lord’s order.”
Ms. Lovely glanced at her surroundings.
“Lucifer, where is our lord?”
“Ms. Lovely, he is waiting inside Temple of Doom.”
“Umm… That’s strange… But, anyway... He is a strange person.”
“Sure, my lady.”
When both of them were inside to Temple of Doom, Ms. Lovely turned to Lucifer and asked.
“By the way, did you know anything about FuuRinKaInZanRai?”
Lucifer curtsied once again.
“My lady, my apology. I don’t have that kind of knowledge.”
Ms. Lovely faked a smile.
“Oh, I see… It’s fine. Then, how about… Where is your red collar?”
Lucifer had not sound a word until Ms. Lovely launched a strike with her swords. Lucifer took several steps backwards and spoke boldly.
“Ms. Lovely, your target wasn’t me...”
Then, Lucifer pointed at the corner of the hall. Meanwhile, a teleport portal had appeared. Lucifer turned to Ms. Lovely and said.
“Here, I bring you… Ms. Graceful!”
Once, Ms. Graceful had stepped into the hall via the portal. She had realized Ms. Lovely was staring at her. Her mouth curved into a smile and said.
“Ms. Lovely! Finally, we had meet once again…”
Ms. Lovely widened her eyes when she saw Ms. Graceful. But before, she could turn to Lucifer and tried to sort out what was happening in here. Lucifer had disappeared via another teleport portal.
Meanwhile, Ms. Graceful had unloaded Pandora Box onto the floor and shouted.
“Pandora!”
Pandora Box had replied immediately.
“Weapon name – Caliburn and Excalibur… … …”
“User name – Aoi Hamasaki Schneider the Beautiful… … …”
“Directly under – Mr. Weirdo… … …”
“Employer – Mr. Weirdo… … …”
“Skill – Duel Wielding Swordsmanship… … …”
“Confirmed… … …”
“Master’s order – Capture… … …”
“Target locked… … …”
Afterwards, Ms. Graceful had called out her choice of weaponry.
“CALADBOLG and DYRNWYN!”
“Affirmative.”
Afterwards, Ms. Graceful had took out two swords from Pandora Box. On the other hand, Ms. Lovely looked at Ms. Graceful. She had tried to talk to Ms. Graceful in order to avoid the fight between them.
“It is not the time to fight against you, Ms. Graceful… I had other business to sort out first... There’s something fishy going on around here...”
However, Ms. Graceful had already advanced towards Ms. Lovely.
Ms. Lovely rolled her eyes.
“Sigh, never mind then… Let me finish you off first… Now, come and DIE!”
<<< === === >>>
Meanwhile, just outside the entrance of Temple of Doom. There was a little girl with a chained-up coffin on her back. The little girl was wearing a lace-up bow flare sleeve black maid dress with a pair of Lolita princess bow platform high heel shoes. She was observing the fight in between Ms. Graceful and Ms. Lovely.
The little girl received a message from her owner.
“Servant, how is the situation?”
“My lady, the fight had started.”
“You just keep an eye on them. When Ms. Lovely is losing, then you shall intervene… And remember, kill Ms. Graceful inside the temple.”
“Yes, my lady. I will kill Ms. Graceful.”
“Good enough… Muhaha…”
During the fight, explosions were rapidly increased in volume and had released massive energy that had caused half of the temple to collapse and resulting in a large scale of fragmentation. Although, these mangled debris had scattered around at the top level of Last Tower. But, Servant was still standing near the temple’s entrance without any injury.
A while later, Servant had noticed that Ms. Graceful had the upper hand while fighting against Ms. Lovely. Then, her face twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile and said.
“Osiris, get ready! We will engage Ms. Graceful within five minutes.”
Osiris had answered with a digital male voice.
“Affirmative, countdown sequence initiated…”
Afterwards, a massive explosion had occurred. The entire Last Tower had been flattened out.
The explosion force of the blasts had been taken the form of a shockwave that radiates from the Crystal of Dark Matter at supersonic speeds and that had completely destroyed Temple of Doom.
This explosion produced blast, light, heat and varying amounts of fallout.
The intense white light of the explosion could cause permanent blindness to human gazing at it from a distance of dozens of miles. The explosion’s intense light and heat set the temple and other combustible materials afire at a range of many miles, which had created huge fires that coalesce into a firestorm. The radioactive fallout contaminated air, water and soil around Tower of Babylon. Its distribution had reached Eden…
One of a human physicist from Metropolitan University had believed that an Annihilation had occurred during that time. Although, she was not at the scene. But, she had written down the analysis in a report. Later on, the report had submitted to World Federation.
“In particle physics, when a subatomic particle collided with its respective antiparticle to produce other particles, such as an electron colliding with a positron to produce two photons. The total energy and momentum of the initial pair were conserved in the process and distributed among a set of other particles in the final state… Dark Matter have exactly opposite additive quantum numbers from particles… The sums of all quantum numbers of its original pair are zero. Therefore, any set of particles could be produced whose total quantum numbers are also zero as long as conservation of energy and conversation of momentum are obeyed… Although, some quantum numbers might not sum to zero in the initial state. However, the conserve with the same totals in the final state… The interaction of the particles that were not mutual antiparticles that were not charge conjugate… But, what if… the annihilating particles were composited? Then, several different particles were typically produced in the final state…”
At the end of this report, she stated her assumption.
“I believe, the battle between Ms. Lovely and Ms. Graceful had created an astral being. This energy being might the abilities from both of them. However, it needs a containment... A containment that could be able to hold its massive energy within. Certainly, due to current human technological limitations. This containment is a mission impossible. But, what if… Ancients had already mastered this kind of technology?!”
<<< === === >>>
Three Year Later
Eastern Region of Humanity
Victoria Harbor City (Frontline of Second Millennium War)
World Federation’s Headquarter (War Room)
Inside the War Room, there were two gentlemen who had read the physicist’s report. The elderly one who wore a military uniform had spoken.
“On Day 5, the battle between Ms. Lovely and Ms. Graceful had begun. But, nobody knows what was the result. However, we only know that was the root of evil and had created this current world… Later on, we called this – Battle of Annihilation.”
The slightly younger gentlemen who wore a dark grey business suit had responded.
“General… Umm, that is how our Parallel World had been created.”
“Representative, you are correct. Battle of Annihilation had created this Parallel World.”
“But, how?”
“For our understanding, it would be related to Dark Matter.”
“That dark crystal which was sitting in the center of Temple of Doom.”
“Correct. It had been three years from now. Things haven’t change a bit. We, human still at the lowest ranking of the food chain…”
“But, I believe we could be able to initial a counterattack… Since, we had done so many researches and be able to enhance human beings.”
The General narrowed his eyes and asked.
“You guys are still playing with those so-called biotech?”
The Representative sneered and flicked lint of his suit.
“Of course, we aren’t giving it up yet. It is our only hope which could surpass Ancients. Therefore, I had come over and seek cooperation from the World Federation.”
“At this point, I only had one simple question for you.”
“Please go ahead.”
“Can we trust you guys?”
“Of course, you can… Don’t you remember? A year ago, the World Federation and Secret Societies had signed a peace treaty. Both sides had ended the human’s civil war. Right now, we are all in the same boat… Our enemy is Ancients.”
The General glowered.
“Not every Ancients are evil.”
The Representative faked a smile.
“Don’t do you believe… Human shall rule over this world once again.”
“HEY, KID! Did you miss the point?”
“Never mind… But, right now… Without our help… What else could the World Federation do?”
The General kept his silent for a while. It was because currently there was several powerful races, which
had dominated and split the Parallel World into several domains. Unfortunately, the Region of Humanity was laid in between them.
The Region of Humanity was located in the center of the main continent, which had co-governance by World Federation (Eastern Region) and Secret Societies (Western Region). The power struggle in between both political parties definitely were still on-going. However, both of the parties did share the same view that was the survival of humanity.
Several minutes later, the General had spoken.
“World Federation will make our decision, once we seek out for advice from the Committee.”
Meanwhile, the Representative had stood up and was leaving the room. Then, he glanced over the shoulder and said.
“Oh well, take your time. But, please remember… I will only stay in the city for three more days.”
<<< === === >>>
After the Representative had left the War Room, the General had walked towards a world map that was hung on the wall. He took a closer look at it and then he shook his head several times. He understood that the power struggle in between each individual domain was still on-going for all these years. This so-called Second Millennium War had begun after the Battle of Annihilation.
FuuRinKaInZanRai was in control of the northern part of the main continent, while the southern part was dominated by those demonic creatures that had emerge via the Dimension Gap. Furthermore, Secret Societies was still supported by Solstice, while Killer Incorporate was helping World Federation during these years. Several individual skirmishes did occur near the borders. Fortunately, no major battle had been fought through these years.
The General rested his chin in his palm and pondered for a moment. In his mind, he had a question without an answer. This question was related to FuuRinKaInZanRai. Since, their powers were overwhelmed the entire Parallel World. However, they did not trample the world after Battle of Annihilation. Furthermore, what had happened during the battle and where were Ms. Lovely and Ms. Graceful. Even though, the Committee of World Federation was also puzzled by all these uncertainties. But, nobody could be able to give out any definite answer for that.
<<< === === >>>
Within Tower of Babylon that laid the ruins of Last Tower. It was once the legendary battleground for Ms. Lovely and Ms. Graceful. But after all these years, it only had toxic rubbles on the ground and radioactive dust in the air.
At the center of the ruins, there was an astral being that had been sitting on the ground for a while. It was looking heavenward. A moment later, it spoke out.
“Umm… You had slept for too long… It is the time for you to wake up… Oh by the way, Angels & Demons will arrive very soon…”
Suddenly, a digital female voice spoken up.
“Voice recognition system activated… Identity confirmed… Self-recovery process initiated…”
“Argh, seriously… What kind of CPU you had? Anyway, you better hurry up. Otherwise, Angels & Demons will come and get you.”
“Personality module damaged… Backup system activated… All functions online and ready…”
A few minute later, a female look alike automata had been slowly stood up from the rubbles.
The astral being took a closer to the female automata and said.
“Before we go on, I should get you some clothing first... Umm… How about a lace-up bow flare sleeve black maid dress with a pair of Lolita princess bow platform high heel shoes?”
The female automata looked into its eyes and replied.
“Sigh, you had never change a bit… Even you are now in an astral being.”
Then, she glanced around at her surroundings.
“How long?”
It answered.
“I had been waiting for you for three full years.”
She looked heavenwards.
“Now what?”
“They will arrive soon.”
“You mean Angels & Demons?!”
“Of course, what else? Oh, by the way… How are you guys?”
She narrowed her eyes.
“You sound like I have a split personality.”
It signed.
“Umm, you really have the dissociative identity disorder…”
She was pulling out a chained-up coffin from the rubbles. Then, she turned to it.
“Huh?! What are you trying to say?”
It looked at the chained-up coffin and then it took a step backwards.
“Oh, never mind… Welcome back… My lovely and graceful wife.”
“Sure, my dearest husband… By the way…”
“Oh?!”
“Do you really think I will look good in a lace-up bow flare sleeve black maid dress?”
It smiled.
“Of course, Haha…”
She narrowed her eyes once again.
“Why are you laughing? Are you laughing at me?”
“No, no, no… It is a joy and I’m glad that you are back.”
“Tch, non-sense… By the way, you better give me some updates of our current situation.”
“Angels & Demons had successful infested us… Currently, this is the Parallel World that they had established. Unfortunately, the Humanity got involved in this war.”
“So, this is Second Millennium War?!”
“I believe so.”
“What about the others?”
“All of them got infested badly.”
“This is the worst situation.”
“So, this time… You are alone.”
