''- Jellal: I see. Now let's talk about the current situation. Currently, the GDP forces stationed at Downtown are engaging the enemy invaders. Also, we have battalions advancing from the National Airport and Liberty Island. The West branch of the Global Pact Defense has also formed volunteers to aid in the defense. The GDP will hold them back while the KFP are preparing to attack. The KFP is the only organization able to fight the KnightWalker Family. We have just received orders. Owing to special circumstances, our unit that was originally advancing to Harbour Island are also to aid in the defensive effort. Under special assignment regulations of the GDP, you are also mobilized, 79th Division.''

Roy and Cryska both opened their mouths but Tomas silenced them both with a look.

''- Jellal: The GDP requests and requires that everyone here keep Tomas' position confidential. This is a classified secret concerning national defense, so please understand. Tomas, you will stay in Liberty City to fight the KnightWalker Family with the KFP Magician Squad. Leave Harbour Island with me and your division.''

"................"

Everyone was in silence after Jellal said that, however, Tomas broke the silence.



- Tomas: Special Lieutenant Jellal, the Magician squad and I will provide protection for everyone here.

Although their numbers were few, Tomas was deeply appreciative that Jellal was able to delegate to take care of his Division.

- Tomas: Thank you, Lieutenant Jellal.

''- Jellal: It's Supreme General of KFP 354th Army of America!... Understood. Do your best out there, Tomas Sevchenko. We don't have much time,''

''- Tomas: Eh... Yes... General Jellal.''

''Tomas walked towards the window of the room and destroyed the glass. A windstorm broke into the room.''

- Jellal: May you conquer all before you.

- Tomas: I'm off.

With his division's eyes watching him, Tomas jumped off the building and stepped onto the Downtown streets that had been transformed into a battlefield and went off to war.

Jellal then turned around and shot two blasts at the a group of drones attacking the KFP Security guards.



- All Joker 1: Dammit!

''- All Joker 2: Die! Magicians!''

''Cryska just activated her Ice Magi-Tech again and froze the weapons of the enemy. The All Jokers noticed their guns were not working. Before they could look forward, X-23 was already there killing them one by one. Cassie then shot at the core of the tanks again, the tanks exploded, killing half of the All Jokers. However, X-23 avoided the explosion.''

A group of assassin ninjas from All Jokers charged at Jellal but he simply focused a light energy at his fingertips and swung his hand in front of the assassins, creating an explosion in the place where they stepped.

- Roy: Not here!



''Roy created magi-tech symbols on the air around the area and suddenly several fireballs similar to small meteors came out of the symbols. The fireballs fell on top of 34 KnightWalkers and All Jokers, they all had a terribly painful death as they felt the fire burning their skin and meat. Before they could notice, a ship full of Cyborgs landed behind of enemy lines, Cryska and Takeda finished the last enemies, and everyone changed their sights to the ship.''

''A hooded Cyborg carrying several grenades left the ship. Two Meta-humans KnightWalkers left the ship as well, they were probably guards.''

- Roy: Looks like the boss is around.

''The 79th Division regrouped and looked at the Cyborg standing there. The Cyborg made no sounds, he was only looking at them like some type of ghost.''

''- Jellal: I have enough energy to beat him. But he looks powerful.''

''- Takeda: I agree. Let's fight together. Leave the KnightWalkers to me, these guys are Meta-humans. They are overpowered. ''

''- Cryska: He's not messing around. Sonya Blade fought a Meta-humans 8 months ago, he was know as Parasite. That guy was strong.''



''- X-23: Humpf! Forget about that. This is the last enemy! Let's kill him like the others!''

''- KFP Soldier 1: Not so easy. Look.''

30 Drones fell from the KnightWalker Family Warship above and 40 KnightWalkers Mercenaries left from the ship that landed few moments ago and surrounded the division.

''- Jellal: Now... this might be a problem.''

- Drones: The order is to kill.

''- Tomas: This is amazing. My magi-tech changed to Electricity.''

''Tomas' voice came through the speakers equipped in the room's interior. Detecting that the automatic transmission activated, Tomas manipulated the helmet and popped the mask.''

''- Sanada: Bulletproof, heat resistant, shock resistant, and also resistant to biological and chemical weapons and a simple motion supplement system was added into the design as requested. Of course, the Flying Device was also attached to the belt. When coupled with the shock resistant function, you can completely nullify the recoil when firing, so you can also fire in the air.''

''​- Tomas: Perfect. Its performance far exceeds my design.''

- Sanada: No, I also enjoyed myself to my heart's content.



''Sanada and Tomas shook hands. While this was happening, the KFP Commander, Christopher Pike finally arrived leading two more soldiers.''

- Pike: Sanada, are you finished?

Staring wordlessly at the subordinate who saluted in response, the commander shifted his gaze to Tomas.

''- Pike: Then, effective immediately, the Special Lieutenant Tomas is to rendezvous with KFP Magi-Tech 2nd Unit. The 2nd unit is currently sniping the enemy unit that is approaching the connection bridge to the Mizuho Wharf district. The unit's location is displayed on the protective visor of your helmet.''

- Tomas: Understood.

''Putting the visor back on, Tomas verified the location for 2nd Unit and stepped out of KFP Base in Chinatown, Pike, Sanada and the KFP Lieutenant followed him as well. Without using the ramp, Tomas jumped off the base and hit the button on his waist before his downward acceleration disappeared. That was the power switch for the CAD equipped with Flying-Type Magi-Tech. Lightly tapping off the ground, Tomas soared through the sky while Sanada and Pike were watching.''

- Pike: I'm counting on you, Tomas.

''- Speaker (male voice): *Lost contact with all unmanned observation drones! Milady Eckidina!*''

''Upon her subordinate's report, Eckidina couldn't help but smile. She changed her position and laid on the chair. Even the last unmanned drone had been shot down. Now, she could only issue orders with the intel she had on hand. She mentally railed at Cavalo De Troia, who was currently deep in the enemy formation and still had yet to send the signal, before ordering the troops headed north to retreat. ''

However...

- Eckidina: Captain.

- Speaker (male voice): *Yes?*

"........"

- Eckidina: 'Use the Hlokust cannon of the ship, the target is the West of Liberty City. Let's kill Kyouhei and his army at the same time!'

"........!!!!!!!!!!!"

''- KnightWalker Captain: The cannon is ready. Your orders.''

Eckidina let out a evil grin and stood up from the chair.

''- Eckidina: I'll not waste my time. Fire! ''

''The workers didn't say nothing. They were about to fire he Hlokaust Cannon, the deadly weapon created by humans.''



''Few moments later, the main cannon shoot and a huge white light traveled through space towards United States at the speed of sound. Everyone on the KnightWalker Cruiser watched a huge blast going towards Liberty City from the ship.''

"..............."

​"..............."



​"..............."

''Eckidina, who was seated in her chair, looked down for a while. All workers looked at her with fear that she might do something bad. The captain turned his sights at her.''

- KnightWalker Captain: Milady, what's the problem?

Eckidina looked up and clapped her hands twice like she was praying to Buddha.

''- Eckidina: Ah! I forget Makarov is there...''

All KnightWalkers made awkward smiles and looked at each other.

- Kyouhei: Advance!



''That was the order to pursue and deny the enemy any chance to regroup. The volunteers' morale reached the high water mark.''

However...

''Everyone stopped running towards the enemy when they saw a huge light beam falling from the sky. It was a huge white light beam. The light literally lit up the whole town. All soldiers KFP, GDP, and KF looked at the sky to see that weird thing. Even the battlefields stopped for a few seconds whens they saw that light.''

- Kyouhei: Jesus.

 Meanwhile in LC Plaza 

- Jellal: What's that...

''Jellal, Cassie, Roy, X-23 and Takeda looked at the light with widen eyes. Cavalo De Troia, the enemy Cyborg, looked at that light too.''

''- Cavalo: Milady Eckidina... You should have waited.   ''

The KnightWalkers and All Jokers looked at that light too.

 Different Places from Liberty City 



''It was a beautiful thing then it was obvious that some civilians opened their mouths in wonder, but what came next was terrible. A few seconds after the light entered the city skies and fell at Bohan District, the light disappeared and a gigantic nuclear explosion quickly swallowed half Bohan in just 1 second. The explosion was so huge the wind knocked down 30 of the Downtown building and took boats, cars and planes to all sides of the state like toys. People were blown away like paper..''

''Killer Frost, who was in Downtown entered in a subway station when one of the building started to fall. The entire Downtown was plunged into destruction as tons of smoke covered the skies of Liberty City.''



Part 0
 Japan - Tenguu City 

 KnightWalker Funeral Parlor Base 

 Moon Terminator Company Demonic Temple 

 07:45 PM 



''It had been hours since Azul, Revy and Haru began the demonic ritual to acquire their Artificial Demonic weapons. It had been about 3 hours since they began the ritual that could kill them. In this ritual, the Artificial Demon enters the mind of the person in order to steal the body of the victim and be free. In this ritual, time passes slowly into the person's mind, while the person spend just 5 minutes inside his or her mind, it's been two hours in the real world.''

''As said before, Azul chose a sword, Revy chose two and Haru chose a bow. To master a Artificial Demon, it is necessary psychological training because the Artificial Demon will use the biggest weaknesses of the victims to dominate his or her mind.''

''Once the three grabbed the weapons, the ritual began. All three were lying on the floor inside a magic circle shaped pentagram. Kamina, Sonya, Natsuki, Ibuki and Lulu were watching the ritual for hours. Ibuki, however, is a girl full of energy and was starting to get bored. Ibuki lied on the ground while the rest of the group were standing.''

- Ibuki: Hey....



- Everyone: .........

- Ibuki: You know how to cook in the style of Eckidina?

- Everyone: .........

''- Ibuki: Step one: Turn on the gas! HAHAHAHAHA!!!''

''Ibuki laughed on the ground for minutes before standing up. Natsuki looked at her without losing her cool. That jokes was obviously a reference to the gas chambers used by the Nazis in World War II. The KnightWalker Family also use gas chamber to kill elderly, weak and sick people who do not serve as slaves in their country.''

- Natsuki: Are you serious?

''Ibuki raised both her hands as a speaking gesture. Ibuki is known for her black humor. Many of her jokes are horrible and tragic things that happened in the past, this happens because Ibuki had never lost someone she loved and doesn't have sense of shame. To be more specific, Ibuki refuses admit her mistakes, however, this behavior is compensated by her strength on the battlefield.''

''- Ibuki: Yes. Eckidina KnightWalker and Adolf Hitler are the same after all.''

''Sonya laughed for a second before looking at Ibuki. Even Sonya has sense of humor, most of the jokes that Sonya likes are when Eckidina is involved somehow. Many people consider Eckidina a "stupid clown" and make fun of her in order to humiliate her. Eckidina likes to be feared, so take her actions as a joke are more offensive to her in a certain way. This is logic of the real world as well, if we are afraid of terrorists, they will fell victorious upon the nations, so many people make jokes about them to demote them instead of taking them seriously.''



''- Sonya: You have a point. But this is not right time, Officer Ibuki.''

- Ibuki: Just trying to break the ice.

Natsuki ignored Ibuki and looked at Azul.

''- Natsuki: But I really have to say. This is taking too long.''

Kamina replied Natsuki without looking at her.

''- Kamina: I agree. But this is probably because they are too young and do not have proper training. However, I believe they can win, they have psychological and emotional strength to overcome any temptation that the Artificial Demon use against them.''



''- Lulu: Haru has resistance to the Artificial Demon but I do not know if he has the desire to fight. There is no point in have resistance if the person don't have the desire to fight. That's why pacifist people can't win against Artificial Demon. They need to have desire to kill and protect.''

''Sonya and Natsuki could not do nothing but agree with Lulu. To defeat the Artificial Demon, it is necessary more than resist the temptation, the person must have a strong sense of justice, revenge or lust for power to accomplish their goals. The Artificial Demon hates pacifists who do not have any desire to fight. Many member of Moon Terminator Company are people who lost loved ones in the war, so they won the Artificial Demons without problems. However, Haru, is a kind-hearted person, and was that what was bothering Kamina and Lulu for a long time.''



''- Sonya: Looks like Azul and Revy can win this battle of hearts. They showed desire to fight and kill KnightWalkers for a long time.''

''- Lulu: Azul's hatred towards Eckidina is incomparable. This hatred will be the key to her victory... Like you... Natsuki...''

Natsuki imagined Eckidina and clenched her fists in anger.

- Natsuki: Yes...

''This has already been said before, Natsuki suffered at the hands of Eckidina. She was used by the evil KnightWalker  girl as a guinea pig for an inhuman experiment using words to seduce Natsuki. However, Eckidina slowed Natsuki's metabolism and turned her into a child again forever. After that, Eckidina abandoned Natsuki in a garbage dump to die. It could be worse, Eckidina was removing sperm of men and forcing women to give birth to children... But this is going to be explained later...''



''- Kamina: Anyway... W---''

''Kamina stopped his words when the door of the Temple opened violently without warning. Kamina and the rest of the group looked at the door and saw KFP officer there, he was sweating and breathing deeply several times, apparently he ran for minutes. Ibuki made a "V" and smiled at the officer. Also, the Temple has a Elevator entrance and Emergency Entrance.''

''- Ibuki: ★Sorry! But I'm not going to play guitar today!★''

The officer looked at Ibuki in confusion and looked back at Kamina in despair.

''- KFP Officer: Lieutenant Kamina! We have a problem!''

- Everyone: Huh?

''Nobody knows what happened out there. Even Ibuki was a little scared after hearing that. "An KFP officer entered the private Temple of Moon Terminator Company violently without warning and did not make any military salute before several High-Officers of KFP in front of him," just using this phrase, Natsuki, Sonya, Ibuki, Lulu and Kamina realized that something terrible happened.''

- Kamina: What happened?

Kamina looked worried and scared at the same time.

- Lulu: What is it?

''- KFP Officer: Liberty City is being attacked by the KnightWalker Family! They used the Hlokaust Cannon!''

- Everyone: !!!!!!!!!



''"Liberty City", "KnightWalker Family", "attacked" and "Hlokaust Cannon", just with these words they already know what happened. Everyone made sounds of despair when they heard that.''

- Kamina: WH--!

Natsuki's eyes widened when she heard that Liberty City is under attack.

''- Natsuki: That is where... Kyouhei Kannazuki is!''

''Lulu looked stunned at the KFP officer. Their reactions were not exaggerated. There was no reason for the KnightWalkers attack the United States, they were literally declaring war to all nations of the world with with the exception of Russia, North Korea, Godom Empire and Chronos Empire.''

- Lulu: But why...?



''Kamina ignored everyone and walked foward the entrance in rage. Kamina pushed the KFP Officer away from the door entrance as he walked towards the ladder.''

''- Kamina: DAMN IT! I WANT A FULL REPORT OF THE SITUATION! I'M GOING TO OUR CENTRAL IN TOKYO!''

- Lulu: I'm going to!

Lulu and Ibuki followed Kamina.

- Ibuki: Me too!

''- Sonya: I'm going to KFP Control Room! I will activate our satellite into space to show the situation of LC!''

Sonya used her Magi-Tech to teleport out of the Temple in a second.

''- Kamina: Good work! Natsuki, stay here! If something goes wrong with the ritual, kill Azul, Revy or Haru if necessary. Also, remember to explain our situation to them! I'll be off for some days!''

Natsuki made a salute.



- Natsuki: Roger!

''Kamina recovered his cool after she said that. He thought she was going after him but he was quite impressive with her reaction. He was happy that Natsuki finally found people with whom she can stay. She always depended on him since she was saved by him, so he was surprised that she was finally was free from him. She chose to stay with Azul, Haru and Revy, the new people she considered friends.''

Kamina looked back and smiled.

- Kamina: This is what I wanted to hear!



''Natsuki smiled as she was responding with her expression. Kamina walked forward and the the KFP Officer, Ibuki and Lulu followed him.''

''- Kamina: Let's go! We are going to Tokyo! Start the ship!''

''The door of the Temple closed by itself, leaving Natsuki alone in the Temple with Azul, Haru and Revy sleeping in the pentagram. Natsuki looked back at her team sleeping.''

''- Natsuki: What is happening...? Something is strange is going on...? This is... the Tech of the End?''

''It was normal that Natsuki was thinking it. Since she met Azul few days ago, strange things began happening everywhere: conflicts within the KFP, attacks without reason, internal conflicts in KnightWalker Family, the creation of more Cyborgs and the increasing number of wars... It looked like all of these events was part of some conspiracy. Natsuki felt that there was someone manipulating everything in the shadows. And that person was not a human...''

 United States - Liberty City

<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City War 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 05:35 PM



''5 minutes had passed after Hlokaust cannon hit Liberty City. There was nothing to be said at such destruction, compared to Fiore Kingdom that has been completely wiped off the face of the Earth a decade ago, Liberty City was able to survive because Eckidina used only 10% of the destructive power of the cannon. Some people would have preferred if Eckidina had used 100% of the power of destruction, so there would be no innocent suffering in pain, there would no be mothers crying for their dead children, there would be no spouses crying for the death of their loved ones, children shaking the dead body of their parents... But this is normal, this is sounds radical but this is war. There is no innocents in war, all people are targets, be they combatants or non-combatants. That is why war is the only place where there is no crime.''



''Eckidina showed no mercy even for her troops who were fighting on the ground. With the explosion of the cannon, the KnightWalkers troops were reduced by 45%, but there was still troops and divisions with fighting spirit. Nobody knows what happened, so the KnightWalkers kept fighting even though they were wounded. Do not think that KnightWalkers are all murderers and bloodthirsty psychopaths, they are people like you, they were enslaved and are forced to fight for an evil corporation that has enslaved their country. Some of them just keep fighting because they are afraid of being executed in the court martial. However, not all of them are people who only comply orders, some of them are literally made of evil and are insane sadists who likes to see people suffering, be they his teammates or enemies.''



''On the other hand, the city defense troops have been completely decimated. The police and tactical troops were completely swept away, leaving only 40 small squads of NOOSE and LCPD. NOOSE soldiers are trained only for smaller fighting as fights against terrorists, they were never trained to handle massive wars like that. Although they are police veterans, that scene was something that left many of them unable to fight, but this is not because they were injured, they simply lost the will to fight and surrender. These people of NOOSE and LCPD also have families, so they would rather be alive than to continue fighting for a lost cause. Although still have some left over living squads, these squads could no longer fight and lost the spirit to fight.''



''On the side of GDP and KFP, things were bad. The KFP and GDP were completely turning the battle to their favor, but with the explosion, they lost most of their army. Others aircraft that were supporting were swept from the skies as the impact of the explosion led helicopters, ships and jets to the ground. The explosion also killed the few survivors of the KFP who were resisting in the main base. Fortunately, the explosion also reduced the enemy army, but this not changed their situation, the KnightWalkers were in large numbers, 10 to 1. The KnightWalkers were at 7,000,000 soldiers, their numbers were reduced to 4,000,000 with the explosion, however, they still had weapons, vehicles, tanks, drones and men enough to exterminate the last defenses of the city. 4,000,000 men was enough to take 5% of America. In 1945, the Soviet Union overthrew Nazi Germany in Berlin with only 2 millions men, compared to the numbers of KnightWalkers, they can bring down an entire state.''



''In the civilian side, things were much worse. Most people in the city were civilians, so they were more affected by the explosion. They were not just killed by the explosion, the KnightWalkers hunted them throughout the city and threw them of buildings and hung them on poles to show an example to Americans what happens when they enter the business of KnightWalker Family. For many years, Eckidina hated as the United States enters their business, they always send alert messages, always puts the media against them and always sends spies to steal their technology, and all this made Eckidina hate Americans. Not only Eckidina, many civilians from other countries of the world hate the United States, in fact, they hate Americans themselves because of their arrogance because they belong to a first world country. Eckidina's main victims are children, type people of the nation that are protected and loved since they are the future of their country. There is no better way to break the morality of a country; when children and babies are killed in battles.''



''At least once in your life, you have fought someone because he criticized your country without even knowing it, this is the biggest case why many people hate Americans. Even people in France who were enslaved by the KnightWalkers, hate Americans citizens because a lot of them tend to joke about enslaving them, saying that they surrendered to KnightWalker Family because they like to suffer and work until death. But this is normal at every point, humans only feel compassion and understand each other when they all feel the same pain. Eckidina, is a person who would love to see the smile "pathetic" Americans being uprooted by war. Eckidina believes that all people should remember the fear of war so that everyone can feel the same pain. But in the end, whether American or any other nationality, it does not matter, this is just another of Eckidina's excuses to continue causing suffering. ''



''Be they women or children, Eckidina simply kill them to remember people of the pain and fear of war. If there is a word to define Eckidina, it would be: "Evil". Unlike others dictators and great villains of the history such as Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler who wanted power and had justifiable reasons for their own nations, Eckidina just does things for personal feelings; wicked and dirty feelings. ''

''Eckidina does not possess nationality, so patriotism is something that does not exist in her dictionary. Even if Eckidina had a country to serve, she would try a coup and lead the country to war in order to destroy others countries and even destroy the her country, forcing children, weak, elderly and non-fighters women to fight on the front lines.''



''Returning to the battlefield, or rather, what was a battlefield. With the impact of the explosion, many building fell in the city, releasing tons of dust in the air. Fortunately, Killer Frost and her men managed to get into an abandoned subway station before the destruction of the buildings above them. With the fall of the buildings many people were killed crushed, others were still trapped in the building and died when the building fell. This time, there was no firefighters to remove the victims from the building like the September 11, 2001. Although Killer Frost was able to enter the station successfully, some remains of the building were able to penetrate the subway train station and hit some soldiers. Dust also entered the subway station and prevented the visibility of the place. Aft''

''Killer Frost, however, realized that there was a missing person, she looked everywhere looking for him, that person was the vice captain of the squad and gave aid for Killer Frost in entire invasion. The vice-captain is an old friend of her.''



''- Frost: Vice Captain! Where are you?! If you can hear me, prepare th---!!!!''

''Frost stopped her words when she saw the Vice Captain on the ground... Cut in half... The Vice Captain was hit by a huge glass that fell from a building when the buildings around them began to fall. His body was cut in half as he went down the stairs. His legs remained on the stairs but the rest of his body fell down the stairs and hit the ground. ''

Frost's eyes widened when saw that gore scene; her friend was cut in half with his gut sticking out.

- Frost: Vice Captain!



''Frost ran towards the Captain and puts her hands on his chest. The Vice captain was breathing deeply while blood came out from his mouth.''

- Frost: Hey, Vice Captain...

Frost gritted her teeth.

- Vice Captain: Lieutenant Frost, I'm sor--- *coff* *coff*

''- Frost: This is not your fault. It's my fault. I should have anticipated our escape... You did your duty with this organization and your country. You can rest.''

''- Vice Captain: ... I have no regrets... I got into this war to save my people to avenge my wife and daughter. It was an honor to fight for you guys...''



''The Vice Captain could not hold back his tears. This soldier had a tragic history, he lost his wife and his family in New Zealand 10 years ago. Eckidina sent the All Jokers to destroy a small village and enslave the population. However, when they captured women and children, they raped all the women and children of the village before selling them on the black market as slaves. His wife and daughter died of HIV a few months later.''

''- Vice Captain: ... It was honor to fight for you, Lieutenant Frost...''

''- Frost: Idiot, you can watch us winning in the Heaven. See ya.''



''Frost smiled despite watching her friend dying. Of course, she was shocked with his death but she is the new leader of KnightWalker Funeral Parlor now, she can't let it overthrow her.''

- Vice Captain: I can finally see them...

''The Vice Captain smiled and closed his eyes as if he were responding to his emotions. The Vice Captain died in her Frost's arms. Frost puts a white cloth that was on the floor to cover what remained of the captain's body and stood.''

''- Frost: ... Captain...''

One of the soldiers walked towards Frost.

''- KFP Soldier 1: What's our plan now? We can't go to the airport now.''

- Frost: .....

''Frost remained silent. She didn't know what do to, there was nothing she can do in that situation.''

''There was no time for Kyouhei and his troops to recover from the explosion of the Hlokaust Cannon, the enemies that were invading the base attacked without hesitation. They used the explosion to break into the base while all the KFP soldiers was distracted. The fight began again.''

''Exhausted by constantly having to deal with phantom attacks from the All Jokers, Kyouhei changed his mind. He stopped hunting or the enemy's Magicians and decided to massacre all the enemies around him.''



''Until now, he was afraid of dragging the average citizen into the crossfire so he had relied on magi-tech that targeted individual enemies, but if the situation continued progressing the way it had, more and more citizens would suffer. — He was not going to deny that he was getting enraged. Kyouhei set the area where the enemy was most densely congregated in three man squads as the square shaped execution site. Each side measured 15 meters. Just in case, he kept a 2 meter buffer zone (until now, there was no sign that the enemy forcibly entered the nearby buildings).''



''He operated the CAD on his left wrist and activated the magi-tech. Unrelated to physical obstacles, this was a power that devoured cover in order to alter the phenomena. The initial change was gradual. The enemy soldiers would only feel a slight increase in body heat. However, this would quickly turn into burning hot pain that led the victim to roll around on the floor. Thirty seconds later, their eyes would turn murky and they would be rendered a corpse. This was Heat Magi- tech that relied on the oscillation of fluid molecules, " Kyokan Jigoku ". Kannazuki is specialized in Dispersal-Type Magi-tech that evaporated fluids, but that certainly did not imply they could not use any other magi-tech. With apologies to his friend, Kyouhei actually suspected the veracity of the " Cardinal Code Hypothesis ". If the Four Great Systems and Eight Major Types of Magi-tech were flawlessly interconnected, then weren't they by nature the same entity? This was his gut speaking and not a logical theory. He felt that using systems to categorize magi-tech was simply a matter of convenience.''



Currently, the magi-tech that Kyouhei was using, " Kyokan Jigoku ", could be described as an inferior version of " Rupture ". ''Compared to " Rupture " that could instantaneously evaporate fluids, " Kyokan Jigoku " required time (nothing more than 30 seconds to a full minute) to increase fluid temperature. By paying the price in sheer firepower, this magi-tech expanded the range from "target object" to "a wide area". Within the summoned cauldron of hell — needless to say, this was a metaphor — rapid destabilization spread throughout the square shaped area.''

''" Kyokan Jigoku " was a magi-tech that directly affected the human body within the targeted area. Thus, it was very difficult to affect Magicians who applied Data Fortification to themselves. On the other hand, that also meant that Magicians were the only ones who could survive the execution site.''

- Kyouhei (think): *Found you!*



''There were many enemies, but Kyouhei's instincts told him that this Magician was the one who was responsible for the illusion magi-tech. He charged out from behind the building and sprinted into the "execution site" that was suddenly wide open. The guns pointed in his direction were silenced by allied covering fire. Once more, he raised the handgun-shaped Specialized CAD at the Magician who attempted to flee. He pulled the trigger before the other man had a chance to turn around. A crimson flower blossomed.''

Kyouhei eliminated the enemy Magician before he even had time to surrender.

Small thunderbolts danced wildly across the street as the enemy gunfire came to an end.

''Tarma's company still encountered sporadic resistance from the enemy, but they no longer saw any bipedal tanks or APCs coming to reinforce the enemy. After Tarma's lightning magi-tech rendered the enemy infantry impotent, the five of them gathered under the cover of one of the large buildings of KFP. The battle of KFP Building Point No.3 was over, the KnightWalkers and All Jokers were defeated but there was no time to celebrate. 230 men who were fighting in Point No.3 ran immediately to the Point No.2 to help defend the base. The KnightWalkers were invading on all points. So far, only the Point No.3 was won. ''

Several footsteps of KFP soldiers running towards the Point No.2 was heard.

Tarma lowered his gun after he shot the last drone.



''- (??? 1): Tarma Roving, KFP Officers appears to be coming by helicopter to pick us up. Unlike the ones used for the civilians, this helicopter is specifically reserved for our evacuation.''

''Receiving a KFP Soldier's communique, Tarma relayed the details to everyone else. The man who talked with Tarma is Marcus Fenix. He was fighting alongside Tarma and Kyouhei in the battle of Point No.3. He is a Terminator from KFP, a person responsible for execution of enemies.''

- Tarma: As expected of Marcus, how generous.

- Marcus: ......

''Marcus hates when people refer to him as a good person and always tends to get angry in this type of situation. Tarma obviously said that sarcastically. ''



- (??? 2): ........

''A masked man approached the group. His name is Logan Walker. He also was fighting alongside Tarma and Marcus in the battle of Point No.3.''

Logan was moved in a rather odd direction.

''- Logan: I think this has nothing to do with generosity... It must be so that the high-officers can safely escape.''

- Tarma (think): *He spoke!*

''Tarma's eyes widened when Logan replied his words. That was the first time that Tarma saw Logan talk. They work for years but Logan was always a silent person. Maybe he was not mute...''

- Tarma: Even so, that's something worthy of thanks.



Tarma smiled awkwardly.

''- Marcus: Indeed. Thanks to that, we also have a chance to evacuate and defend the Harbour Island.''

''Tarma, Logan, and Marcu were only able to chat so leisurely because the enemy attacks had gone silent. They were notified about the situation in Harbour Island. They received orders to got to Harbour Island after they protect the Point No.3 of KFP Base in Liberty City.''

- Tarma: Ah, is that them?



''Even without Tarma pointing this out, the distinctive sound of a propeller could be heard. Originally, they picked a location that wouldn't take very long to walk back from. Besides the time spent lifting off and setting down, this was a negligible distance for a helicopter. Yet after a few moments passed, the helicopter still hadn't arrived. Plainly, the noise was traveling down from above, but there was no sign of the helicopter. Tarma received a ping indicating that a new message had arrived, so she moved the transmission receiver to her ear.''

- Logan: Where's the chopper?

''- Tarma's Phone Message (male voice): Colonel Tarma? I'm sorry, but the area is too narrow to land. We'll let down the ropes for you, so can you grab hold of them?''

Before he could respond, three ropes came trailing down from nowhere above them.



Upon closer inspection, the highest point of the rope showed a heat signature that was hovering back and forth.

''- Tarma: ... Invisibility, no, more like optical camouflage. Nicely done, Eugen Katsuragi.''

''- Marcus: Eugen? Who the hell is that?''

Tarma changed his sight to Marcus.

''- Tarma: Eugen Katsuragi is a spy from the Chronos Empire. She works with the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor.''

- Marcus: Hmm.

''After that, Tarma grabbed hold of the rope and put one foot through the step at the bottom end. The other two hurriedly followed suit.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Chronos Empire Chopper 



''After boarding the helicopter, everyone else in addition to Tarmai were also aware of what Eugen Katsuragi was doing. Eugen was projecting images of the sky using a hemispherical display and was so intensely focused that she could not even spare energy to speak. If this wasn't the sky and was a more dynamically changing scenery, there was definitely no way she could keep up the optical camouflage while moving.''

- Tarma: Even so, this magi-tech can also be used when setting ambushes.

- Logan: Seriously, trying to maintain such a complicated process isn't something that can be done with a little imitation here and there.



- Marcus: Even Kyouhei can't do it?

Eugen could only do her best to ignore her guests' conversing voices.

- Tarma: We're almost there, but if you feel tired, it's OK to disengage it as well.

- Eugen: I'm fine.

''It was all Eugen could do to muster a response to Tarma's encouragement. Everyone looked at Eugen.''

- Logan: Sorry for asking this, but who are you?

''That was a obvious question, there a blonde teenage girl in front of them. Also she is wearing the military uniform of Chronos Empire. They never saw a child in the military before.''



''- Eugen: Ah... My name is Eugen Katsuragi. I'm a spy from Chronos Empire working for Sephiria Arks KnightWalker. Nice to meet you.''

''Sephiria Arks KnightWalker, the Queen of Chronos Empire located in China. The Chronos Empire is stronger than KnightWalker Family. That's why Eckidina and Juria never attacked that empire. About the girl in front of them. Eugen is a beautiful blonde teenage girl between 15 and 16 years old. She looks like 20 years old, actually. ''

(- Narrator: Remember Eugen? Yes, she is the biological daughter of Iruka and Haruka, Katarina's adoptive parents. She is Katarina Couteau's non-biological sister, and is the biological daughter of Couteau Family's parents. She was raised by Judith and Hiku Katsuragi after her biological parents gave her to another family because there were no conditions to rise a second child. Also... she is working to the Chronos Empire? You should wait for this is going to be explained in season 2 of Saga AA. Read LOTM: Sword of Kings AA - Raizen School Arc that is set 1 years after this prequel spinoff... Also prey for her...).

- Tarma: Eugen, what are you doing in America?

Eugen smiled.



''- Eugen: I received a message from Jellal Fernandes. He informed our intelligence what was happening in LC. Of course, the Chronos Empire is a neutral country, so we don't wanna put our noses in this conflict.''

''- Tarma: How did you get in here so fast? Chronos Empire is located in China, you know.''

''- Eugen: Coincidence. I was coming here when I was notified about the attack. They told me your orders. You guys are going to Harbour Island, right? Several KnightWalkers Destroyers ships are bombing the island. Their defenses are resisting but they are going to fall very soon.''

''- Tarma: We have orders. Also, if the KnightWalkers reach the central computer, they will disable all communication networks of USA, we need to stop them before it is too late.''

- Eugen: I know you're in a hurry but this chopper is going to collect another group.



- Tarma: Another group?

''- Eugen: Yes, Jellal Fernandes' new group. He is commanding Tomas Sevchenko's Division, the 79th Division from Global Pact Defense.''

Marcus grimaced after he heard the name of the GDP.

''- Marcus: GDP... Useless...''

''His reaction was quite interesting actually. The KnightWalker Funeral Parlor and Global Pact Defense have mutual partnership and are allies. However, not all members of both factions agree to this covenant. Members of organizations hate each other and tend to fight when a member of one of the factions see another member of the other faction. Kyouhei and the leaders of the GDP agreed that the KFP and GDP should have their own bases away from one another to avoid unnecessary fights.''

- Eugen: I know you're from KFP but please use your ang---

Marcus interrupted Eugen.

''- Marcus: What're you saying? In such a situation, anger is something that I reserve to my enemies. I'm just saying I'm not going to work or follow their orders.''

''Tarma ignored Marcus. Eugen, however was with a embarrassed expression, she thought this would not end well.''



''- Tarma: Also, Eugen. How you doing to make this helicopter invisible?''

Eugen went back to her normal state and looked at Tarma.

''- Eugen: Ah... With this...''

''Eugen removed a bright medal from her pocket. That medal was a Magi-Tech Class 2 Device.''

''- Eugen: This magi-tech device can make anything invisible, you can even let an ship invisible. However, a person with strong mental strength is required to maintain the invisibility magi-tech. I'm keeping this helicopter invisible but I need to concentrate... I do not want to offend... But I can continue?...''

Tarma, Logan and Marcus noticed what she was saying.

''- Tarma: Ahh... My bad...''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Liberty City

<p style="text-align:center;"> Plaza



''When the time came to extract Jellal's group, the situation could not proceed as planned due to Hlokaust Cannon's explosion. More enemies and APCs approached their location while Jellal engaged Cavalo De Troia in an epic fight.''

Perhaps it was more accurate to say that the enemy was engaged in their last desperate struggle.

''Watching the scene develop from on high, Eugen and the others could see that the center of the battle had moved to the area surrounding Plaza in the Downtown and the enemies in the immediate area had almost been entirely eradicated by Jellal's group. Roy, Cryska, Takeshi and X-23 eliminated 400 enemies in just a hour. There was no time for them to recover from the explosion of the cannon that hit LC few minutes ago. Some buildings fell near of their location, so the battlefield was dark and full of dust but that dust is not lethal to magicians from GDP. Thanks to 79th Division's magi-tech, they easily defeated hundreds of KnightWalkers, if they were normal humans, they would be dead a long time ago.''



''Nevertheless, Jellal's squad of 5 was still under furious attacks that primarily came from rifles and grenade launchers from infantry units that had Magicians mixed in. Not knowing that Roy was holding off all the attacks from the rear by himself, Eugen and company did not waver because of their limited numbers and immediately provided cover for the five people below.''

Correction, "Eugen and company" would be the wrong term, since Eugen was the only one who unleashed supporting magi-tech from the helicopter.



Hail descended on the enemy soldiers.

''Rather than small grains of ice, dry ice pellets rained down at supersonic speed to penetrate armor, a phenomenon utterly impossible in nature. This was the "Magi-tech Shooter" using dry ice as bullets. The crossfire from the bullets came from all sorts of different angles to strike the enemy soldiers' head, back, and flanks. They were struck down without even knowing where the magi-tech came from. Using air to ground fire and aided by the advantage that the attacks came from unknown directions, Eugen's ice magi-tech pacified the scene in less than 5 minutes.''

''- Eugen: Sorry for the wait, 79th Division. We're letting down the rope, so grab ahold.''



- Roy: Ah, thanks.

The overwhelming firepower — she wasn't sure if this was the right way to put it — that Eugen provided easily suppressed the enemy forces, which irked Roy somewhat as he called for his division.

''Takeshi and X-23, Cryska and the KFP Soldiers that were fighting alongside the 79th Division the entire war, ran forward in pairs. They forgot to be wary of their surroundings, but this was a hard charge to lay at their door. Up until now, they were knee deep in the maelstrom of battle. Also, the helicopter overhead had disengaged its optical camouflage, providing a lulling sense of security.''

Except, the true value of guerrillas was shown here when conducting surprise attacks.



- Roy: Watch out!

''The shout came from Roy. The first to hear this and move was X-23. Sprinting towards Cryska, he whirled his fire blade. Although the frantically activated Sonic Fire Blade miraculously deflected the bullets aimed at the chest, that only protected his torso. His leg was struck by bullets. The right leg beneath the thigh was in tatters.''

- Cryska: Roy!

- X-23: Takeshi!



''On the other side, Takeshi pushed X-23 down and covered her with his body. Fresh blood flowed down his back. The wound was caused by grenade shrapnel — it looked to be a fatal injury.''

''- X-23: Takeshi! Takeshi!''

''- Cryska: Roy! Hang in there!''

''Two girls were sobbing. Cryska unleashed ice magi-tech against the All Jokers who launched the surprise attack. However, her magi-tech was drowned in the overpowering interference strength that covered the scene and fizzled. She frantically looked to the side — and her gaze fell upon the source. There, leaping down from the helicopter was Eugen, landing lightly on the earth as if entirely free from the bounds of gravity. Fearlessly, she raised her right hand.''



- Eugen: Freeze.

''Eugen had lost her temper. For her, Cryska and X-23 were nothing more than acquaintances.''

''Yet, using despicable means to hurt people she knew was enough to ignite the furnace of wrath within her. Despite her rage, her brain remained calm as usual. Even if she jumped down on reflex, she had a perfect grasp on the gravity that pulled her down. There was no need to use a CAD.''

''Eugen's Freezing Magi-tech, which originally derives from her "cold" personality, is the manifestation of her innate magi-tech interfering with the physical world. She stretched her right hand out. By this action alone, the world froze. It was as if the world centered around Eugen had frozen solid. The surface of the road and the walls were not covered in frost. What was frozen was the world of the consciousness. There was no change from Roy, Cryska, X-23 and Takeshi, as well as the KFP Soldiers on the helicopters above them; Marcus, Logan and Tarma.''



''However, the enemy soldiers who were pointing guns or getting ready to throw grenades, regardless of whether they were regular troops or guerrillas, all stood there stiffly without moving a muscle. They weren't frozen, merely halted in place. Rather than their physical bodies freezing, their minds were frozen.''

Outer-Systematic·Mental Interference Magi-tech " Cocytus ".

''The frozen mind shall never awaken. The frozen mind cannot comprehend death. There was no way to even inform the flesh that death was upon them. The bodies bound by their frozen minds could not even die. They could only collapse like a row of statues, forever captured in the postures before the frost came. No one could explain what Eugen did.''

''But all beheld the image of the frozen world, everyone's instincts informed them that Eugen did something. Even without words, they could feel that mind-crushing terror. Eugen turned to one side before gazing skyward and drooping her head once more with traces of a lonely smile lingering on her face. However, she immediately raised her head and waved her hands.''



- Eugen: Tomas!

Directly in front of her eyes, everyone besides Cryska and X-23 could see this.

- X-23: Tomas!

''There, the figure of a soldier in pitch white descended to ground level, he was Tomas Sevchenko who was fighting the KnightWalkers and All Jokers in all points of the city. He landed near Eugen and removed the protective visor and goggles. Tomas ran to Roy's side with a grim expression on his countenance.''

''By his side, Eugen looked at him as if she was starting a conversation with her expression. Tomas nodded and pulled out the silver CAD in form of pistol on the left side of his waist.''

''- Cryska: What are you doing?! Tomas!''

''And pointed the silver CAD at Roy. There was no time to stop him. The only thing Cryska could do was scream at him. He pulled the trigger. On reflex, X-23 closed her eyes.''

- Tomas: [Commence Retroactive Eidos Tracking].

Tomas' expression did not change.



- Tomas: [......Confirm Restoration Point].

''The time required for this magi-tech was overly minuscule. Yet during this instant, Eugen knew that Tomas was suffering unimaginable pain. Eugen's eyes deftly caught the trickle of sweat running down Tomas' face. Unconsciously, Eugen  averted her gaze. Nevertheless, in the eyes of the biological machine casting magi-tech that Tomas embodied, no trace of extraneous information was reflected.''

- Tomas: [Restoration Commence].

Regrowth Magi-Tech


''The other magi-tech that Tomas could freely wield, " Regrowth ", activated. What's this magi-tech that Tomas used? Regrowth   is one of Tomas' innate and unique abilities. Changes in the individual information body (Eidos) can be rewound up to 24 hours in the past, copying and rewriting the Eidos from before any damage or harm from external sources were incurred, then using Magi-Tech Sequences to rewrite the current Eidos. The rewritten target will adhere to the updated information and restore itself to before any harm was suffered.''

''Unlike regular Healing Magi-Tech which needs to be repeatedly reapplied during its effective period, Regrowth's effect is perpetual and applying it to a wounded person will make it as if no injury had ever occurred. Tomas can restore anything, regardless of whether it's the human body or a piece of machinery.''

''However, Tomas must review the catalog of changes in the Eidos to completely copy the Eidos. To do this, he must read through all the stored information regarding the Eidos, including the victim's pain. All the pain is condensed into an instant as it is transmitted.''

Nowdays


''Events were accompanied by information, And information can alter the event. In accordance with the basic rules of magi-tech, the injured flesh began to change. It was regenerating back towards its uninjured state. Rather than healing the injury, the truth called injury was being erased. The restorative power of the world was cooperating with the changes being cast on Takeshi's flesh. The shrapnel was "devoured" by Takeshi's body. The fragments in Takeshi's body disappeared. Rather than being decomposed, they somehow fell by his side. Isori's body seemed to glow with light. In the next instant, there wasn't even a trace of a wound on his body.''

Not only that, even the bloodstains on his clothes were fading.



- Tomas: [Restoration complete].

''In a state unharmed by any shrapnel, Takeshi's flesh and body stabilized within the world. Tomas didn't even have time to confirm the results of "Regrowth" on Takeshi before turning to Roy and pulling the trigger on his CAD again. Visually speaking, this was even more dramatic. Seeing the shredded leg and thigh reconnect, Roy's body also began to glow. Next, a hale young man with all four limbs was lying there.''

Tomas returned the CAD to his left waist and held Eugen's should with his left hand as he walked away.

- Tomas: Thanks for saving them, Katsuragi.



Eugen smiled at Tomas.

- Eugen: If I can't protect them, how I am suppose to find and protect my lost sister?

''Tomas nodded and he put on the protective visor and pulled down the goggles. Returning to a completely GDP Magician form, Tomas thumbed the power switch on his belt and returned to the skies. Eugen could only blankly follow him with her eyes.''

''Wearing a skeptical expression, Takeshi started examining his own body. On the other side, Roy tilted his head slightly as he repeatedly alternated between hopping on one foot and standing on one foot with X-23 smiling as she watched him. Eugen turned her head when she heard the light footsteps behind her. Behind her stood Tarma, who also leaped down from the helicopter.''

''- Tarma: Nice work. That magi-tech was incredible.''



''Seeing Tarma strike up a conversation just as usual, Eugen let out a reserved smile in response. — A smile that smacked of some sort of fear.''

''- Eugen: ...Before Tomas, even Thanatos must bow. But that magi-tech...''

''- Tarma: Hm? No, I know Tomas' magi-tech was amazing too, but I was talking about your magi-tech. As expected of Eugen, magi-tech that only targets and strikes at enemies is simply awesome.''

Tarma's expression was not an act, nor was it forced in any way, he was simply praising Eugen's outstanding ability.

''There was no sign of horror. ''

- Eugen: —Thank you.

''Eugen also replied with a typical, natural response. Eugen noticed there was someone missing in the 79th Division.''



- Eugen: Where is J---!

''Eugen stopped her words when a huge explosion shook the earth. The explosion was seen 12 blocks away from there.''

- Tarma: Don't tell me...

''Everyone there looked at the explosion in form of a ball. It was a purple energy, there is no doubt that energy was Cavalo De Troia's attack. While Cryska, Roy, Takeshi and X-23 were fighting the All Jokers and KnightWalkers, Jellal engaged Cavalo De Troia in combat.''

''- Roy: We must save him. Jellal can't win a Cyborg from Eckidina's Faction alone.''

Eugen nodded.

''- Eugen: I agree. Let's go!''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in KnightWalker Family Warship 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5000 meters above Liberty City 



''The explosion that hit Liberty City left the bridge of the KnightWalker Command Warship in chaos. Fortunately, for Vladimir Makarov, the explosion don't caused damage to the because the ship had activated deflector shields before the explosion. And also because the ship was flying above the destroyed industrial district when the laser hit the other side of city.''

''The explosion destroyed all the fighters of KnightWalker Family who were flying over the city. The impact of the bomb destroyed most of the ground force but thanks to that, the defense forces were also swept away. The KnightWalkers were in greater number, so there was nothing to worry about. They still have bipedal tanks and drones to fight.''

''Despite the ship was not hit by the explosion, the ship shook violently with the impact. All officers fell on the ground, including Makarov. Few moments later, groans of pain were heard through the bridge but all the KnightWalker officers stood up by their own account. Vladimir stood up and seated again holding his injured arm.''



- Vladimir: What happened?

- KnightWalker Vice Captain: A few seconds before the explosion, our radars captured a powerful plasma energy coming from one of our ships in space.

''- Vladimir: One of our ships? What ship?''

"........."

''- KnightWalker Vice Captain: From Eckidina KnightWalkers's Cruiser... sir...''

Vladimir was suppose to be angry but he was so calm that everyone got scared.

''- Vladimir: Ah... Like usual...''

''The officers were a little surprised by this reaction. One of the allied ships fired the Hlokaust Cannon in the city that they were attacking at that moment and killed most of their allied forces. And the commander of the invasion, was not angry or furious; that was enough to let the officers astonished. People who works with Eckidina are used to see her atrocities, anything evil she does is not a surprise.''



The Vice Captain continued.

- KnightWalker Vice Captain: We also lost one of our warships.

''When the KnightWalkers invaded LC, they invaded with two warships. The other ship was not the same sort of command ship. When the explosion hit LC, the ship was the next explosion and was not activated shields.''

Suddenly, the main monitor of the bridge showed the second KnightWalker warship in flames falling towards the ocean.

''- Vladimir: It can't be helped. Let them burn.''

Part 1
<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in KnightWalker Family Hlokaust Satellite 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 4000 kilometers above Liberty City 



''It would be great on the part of many people to think that Eckidina is not stupid enough to shoot the Hlokaust Cannon just once. ''

''Since the destruction of Fiore Kingdom, the KnightWalker Family created the largest satellite of the history. The satellite is know as "Hand of Apocalypse". The satellite has a destructive power greater than the Humpty Dumpty Satellite that Ashaus is planning to shoot in Tokyo right now to kill Uryuu Ryounnusuke.''

''This satellite is... the Hlokaust Cannon itself. Unlike the Hlokaust Cannon from Eckidina's Cruiser that has less destructive power (even if the cannon of Eckidina's Cruiser was at 100%, that destructive power would be even smaller compared to this satellite), this cannon has the power to destroy half the United States with only one shot, and worst of all; this Satellite takes only 10 minutes to prepare the next shot.''

''Many nations never declared war on KnightWalkers because of this satellite, many countries, or rather, all countries of the world, are afraid of this satellite. Furthermore, it is impossible to bring down this satellite because this thing is half the size of Mount Everest and have reinforced armor nuclear bombs. If someone destroy it would be the end of the Earth, for this satellite contains enough radiation to decimate all life on Earth 20 times.''



''And the person who was in charge of this satellite? Misogi Kumagawa, one of the Generals from the KnightWalker Family. This satellite needs at least 120 people to keep it running in the gears and main bridge. ''

Misogi was seated in the Captain Main Chair and looking at LC through the monitor.

''After turning his eyeballs to the lower left while giving an order inside his head, a small number was projected on his retina. 15:55 -- there are 5 more minute before the operation starts. Misogi Kumagawa who was floating in space of Liberty City, licked his lips.''

''- Misogi: Well then... It's about time. Everyone, are you ready?''



- Hand of Apocalypse Workers: Yes, sir!

''He heard the voices of all his subordinates aboard of the satellite from the headset all at once. Misogi nodded in satisfaction.''

''Right now, deployed around the satellite to protect the Hand of Apocalypse from incoming attacks, there were 10 members in the 3rd battle team, and 20 remote control war doll <Bandersnatch>s, an extremely extravagant line up. What's more, right now the KnightWalker group, starting from a 10.5 cm laser gun <Merry ram>, the micro-missile pod <Twin cluster>, and a Laser edge built-in single element cutter <King call>, they were wearing KnightWalker Family's latest equipment, all of them not yet distributed to any other countries.''



''Of course, Misogi wasn't someone who kills for pleasure. It was not like he does not feel any sympathy toward the considerable number of casualties of both sides that will appear from his own attacks. But, that slight sentimental feeling was completely erased by the sweet sound of Eckidina's orders which imply capturing the destruction of LC is for the greater good. Right now, Misogi only recognizes his enemies and comrades in LC as a group of potatoes or pumpkins.''

''And then. The buzzer rang on the headset. Time 16:00 Minutes to start the operation (this is not the schedule). It was time to start the operation.''



''- Misogi: Well then, it's time! Satellite Hand of Apocalypse move to the designated spot! Prepare for attack! Prepare the main cannon to shoot in two 20 minutes!''

- Hand of Apocalypse Crew: Roger!

The same reply as just now echoed in the KnightWalker bridge.

''- Misogi: Well then... Let the party begin.''

After saying that, Misogi pointed his finger towards Liberty City from space.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Global Pact Defense Base 

<p style="text-align:center;"> United States - Harbour Island 



''At the same time, in Harbour Island, in GDP Base on top of a mountain. In the control room of GDP Base, a loud alarm rang. Despite the island is under attack, the defense forces were managing to delay the enemy forces from invading the base at the top of the mountain. In addition, although they are far from Liberty City, the radars of the base were able to capture high radiation levels being released in LC space. Yes, that radiation was the energy that was being released by the Hand of Apocalypse Satellite's main cannon.''

''- GDP Commander: What on earth is the problem now?! We already have problems with the invaders and now this!''



''The GDP Commander who was sitting in the commander's seat raised his eyebrows at the sudden alarm and brought his eyes to the monitor spread out in front of him. ''

''- GDP Worker 1: Re-Reading the radar! Above Liberty City, there are readings thought to be Plasma Energy... It's... the Hlokaust Cannon from Hand of Apocalypse satellite!''

- GDP Commander: What did you say?!

''Hearing the worker's report, the commander's face distorted further. Simultaneously, the main monitor showing the image of Liberty City and Harbour Island being attacked was immediately switched to images of the space. There were a huge satellite preparing to shoot at LC and 10 KnightWalkers wearing exaggerated Space Combat Uniforms around their whole body, and 20 strange machine dolls, all of them floating around the satellite.''



''- GDP Commander: These guys are... KnightWalkers from Eckidina's Horsemen...''

''After looking at them, the commander bit his lips. They are clearly not a American team.''

''- GDP Commander: They are planning to destroy USA... Why...? Why they invaded Harbour Island if they are going to use that thing against the country? Why the KnightWalkers attacking randomly?! That doesn't make any sense!''

''​- GDP Officer: People from Eckidina's Horsemen? Even if this is true, why at a timing like...''

The commander, rang his throat with the words possible thought swirling in his head.

''- GDP Commander: Don't tell me... Eckidina is attacking this country........ for fun.''

Everyone there gasped with the commander's words.

''​- GDP Officer: For.... fun....?''



''- GDP Worker 1: He is right... Eckidina probably wants to "play" war with us. There is no reason if she wants to attack the island and destroy the country at the same time. That's dumb thing. She is attacking randomly to confuse us... This war... This conflict... This battle... All deaths in this war...''

''- GDP Commander: ... Is absolutely for nothing.''

''The commander bit his lips so strong that his mouth bled, it was a demonstration of his anger. To know that the country he loves and is proud to serve became a playground of a crazy tyrant, the commander could have killed someone over there at the same time. Women and children being tortured, raped and killed for fun. No matter who you are or which country you are, if you know the country that you live is being torn apart by a crazy murderer for fun, this would be the most obvious reaction of a patriot. And worse, this country is a neutral nation.''

''The commander tried to hold back his tears while tightening his fists until his nails pierced the palm of his right hand. His right hand began to bleed while an angry vein grew on his forehead.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2000 meters above Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 05:45 PM 



''The fight was far from over. After Tomas saved Takeshi and Roy, he returned to his battalion. Wataru, Tomas and his squad were ambushed by an entire division of drones from KnightWalker Family. These drones were equipped with mini-guns and swords. A bloody battle was happening in the skies of Liberty City.''

''200 drones Vs. 90 magicians from GDP. Tomas fought bravely, using  his CAD and the Artificial Demon Weapon that Kyouhei gave to him. Tomas managed to destroy most of the enemy forces alone.''

- KnightWalker Drone: Mahesvara...

''As the KnightWalkers drones fired their magic cannons and mini missiles, they managed to hit some of the GDP Magicians in the surroundings, as well as the tiled ground and buildings around it. With every explosion, a shrieking scream of pain could be heard, as the shape of the GDP Magicians's body was thrown about everywhere like debris.''



''But, in the midst of the explosion, magi-tech green bullets were fired towards the sky, hitting the drones in the brains. It was an unimaginable and complicated fight. The drones used all their strength, descending into the rain of million bullets at once. Both sides continued their slaughter mercilessly. If any normal human were to step into this fight, it would be difficult trying to put his body together for a funeral.''

''Against the drones in the sky, a large amount of GDP Magicians had began charging at them, using their bare hands to decapitate their wings, guns, hands, legs, and brains. If the drones possessed human emotions, it would undoubtedly be feeling fear right now.''



''Of course the drones would not go down without a fight, and they fired their laser cannons and missiles, and although they hit the GDP Magicians' brains and chests, they were simply outnumbered as the fight raged on, the drones were being killed faster than they could kill the magicians. The safety lights on their heads flashed red, and alarms sounded as though they were crying out as they perished – the last drone located in the middle became a pile of scrap metal as it fell to the floor.''

- GDP Magician: In-incredible… We did it!

''After the GDP Magician said that, they saw a huge explosion in the ocean. They were fighting near the beach so it was possible to saw the explosion. ''

- GDP Magician 2: What happened?

- GDP Magician 3: What is that?

The GDP Magicians got scared because they thought that was another explosion caused by the Hlokaust Cannon but that was another thing.

- Tomas: Good news.



Everyone looked at Tomas.

- Wataru: Good news?

- Tomas: That's one of the KnightWalker Warship that was flying above LC few moments ago.

Yes, that explosion was caused by the destruction of the KnightWalker Warship that was hit by the Hlokaust Cannon.

Wataru looked up before everyone could celebrate this victory.

''​- Wataru: This is not the time to be amazed. Reinforcements are approaching.''



''Tomas and Wataru looked above and saw three cargo ships flying 1,000 meters away from the GDP Magic Squad. It seemed the earlier drones were defensive mechanisms. From within the ships ahead, more drones appeared. There was nothing to mention about the entrances, as the walls of the ships could be modified, and the walls around them began to reveal entrances as the drones within revealed themselves. While exact numbers were unknown, at the very least it exceeded five hundred.''

- GDP Magician: Wha…?!

''The magician let out a dismayed sound. Although it was expected that there would be reinforcements, it was unexpected to be of this degree.''

''​- Wataru: Don't relax. Attack!''



''After Wataru said that, a loud war cry of all GDP Magicians echoed through the sky, with the exception of Tomas. Everyone charged at the drones flying towards them. Tomas, however, stayed in the same place he was flying. He was feeling a strange sensation. In the midst of the destruction of the city, Tomas looked up and saw a light similar to a star.''

''- Tomas (think): *What is that? This is not a star... Don't tell me...!*''

''Tomas' thoughts stopped when a drone appeared behind him and kicked him down. The attack made Tomas hit the ground. Tomas got enraged and activated his Artificial Demon weapon and charged at the drone. ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in KnightWalker Family Hlokaust Satellite 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 4000 kilometers above Liberty City 



''In the Hlokaust Satellite, things are going as Eckidina planned. Eckidina was not there in person but she sent Misogi Kumagawa, one of her best officers to lead the crew of the satellite. A few minutes ago, Eckidina used 10% of Hlokaust cannon's power to increase the panic and despair. That is, the fact that she had used 10% of the power of the Hlokaust Cannon was only for sadistic pleasure to prolong chaos. ''

''This time, Eckidina wanted to end things. No one in her cruiser knew she had sent such order to Misogi; use the Hand of Apocalypse Satellite to destroy LC. If this order reachs the ears of the KnightWalkers leaders, many of them would commit suicide because it would be the end of the world.''



''- KnightWalker Worker 1: The cannon is almost ready to shoot. We are waiting for more solar radiation to increase the attack power.''

''Exactly, the main energy of the Hlokaust Cannon from this satellite is "solar energy". This satellite uses solar energy as the main weapon. Unlike other Hlokaust cannons that use pure energy of plasma, this satellite uses solar panels to steal solar rays and convert it into pure energy. In fact, the satellite itself is moved by solar energy. This satellite does not have to leave the Earth's atmosphere to get sunlight, they just wait the sun's rays reach the Earth. Did you know it takes eight minutes for the sun's rays reach the Earth? This shows how far we are from the sun.''



- Misogi: What is the estimated time?

- KnightWalker Worker 1: 3 minutes, sir.

- Misogi: Perfect.

''Misogi looked at the screen in front of him and saw camera images of inside of the main cannon. The images show a giant tube charged with energy. That energy was the sun's rays that have been converted into energy for the cannon. The energy was purple and bright.''

''- Misogi: Almost there. I don't give a damn how many will die. This is for the greater good.''

''Eckidina's greater good... actually.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in KnightWalker Family Warship 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5000 meters above Liberty City 



''The bridge of the camouflaged KnightWalker Warship, also known as the command center of the invasion force, was covered by a solemn and heavy atmosphere. Vladimir Makarov was seated in the main chair of the bridge. He was very frustrated with their current situation.''

- Vladimir: The mobile force was completely destroyed?!

The tactician had just finished giving his full report to the CO who was staring at him, but he still fulfilled his duty as an adviser.

- KnightWalker Officer 1: Based on the reports we received, an aerial unit using Flying-Type Magi-tech attacked and destroyed our entire force.

"..."



- KnightWalker Officer 1: ...Also, there is an unconfirmed report...

- Vladimir: Of what?!

- KnightWalker Officer 1: Communications from several mobile forces and drones mentioned "Mahesvara".

- KnightWalker Officers: Did you say "Mahesvara"?!

''Over half of the crew on the bridge widened their eyes so much that it was incredible none of them popped from their sockets. "Mahesvara", that word is something that has become a taboo in KnightWalker Family.''

- KnightWalker Officer 2: There were troops in the mobile force who participated in the battle 3 years ago in India.

"..."



''- KnightWalker Officer 3: ... Did something happen?!''

One of the remaining staff members questioned the tactician who made the report rather than the commanding officer.

- Vladimir: —What a pack of lies!

''However, the one who replied was the Vladimir himself. ''

''What's this Mahesvara in the first place? Three years ago, an unidentified demon of Global Pact Defense smashed the entire 5th Army of KnightWalker Family in India alone. Among the soldiers who returned through prisoner exchange, none dared to utter that title. The upper echelons of the KnightWalker Family military officially denied his existence. They forbade the soldiers from mentioning that name. It was a nightmare better left buried. And this Mahesvara is Tomas Sevchenko himself.''

While Tomas was fighting the KnightWalkers and All Jokers across Liberty City, they mentioned " Mahesvara " on numerous occasions



No matter how they denied Mahesvara's existence with their lips, the nightmare had become reality and was baring its fangs at them.

''That's why Tomas Sevchenko tries to hide his true magi-tech. Tomas is the Mahesvara that all KnightWalkers fear. If there is something all KnightWalker fear, is Tomas himself... Even Eckidina and Uryuu put Tomas on the list of most dangerous enemies.''

''- KnightWalker Officer 1: Also... Sir...''

- Vladimir: Now what?!

- KnightWalker Officer 1: Our radar detected another strong unknown energy above us...



''- Vladimir: Unknown energy? Don't tell me...!''

All KnightWalkers looked at Vladimir in confusion with his reaction.

- Vladimir: Retreat!

All KnightWalkers let out scared voices.

- KnightWalker Officer 1: Sir?

Vladimir bit his lips in rage.

- Vladimir: They are going to use the Hand of Apocalypse!

- All KnightWalkers: !!!!!!!!!!!!

''As machines made to work, the KnightWalkers immediately turned on the ship's engines and began to leave airspace of Liberty City. The KnightWalkers knew what was going to happen and they knew that they should wast no time to think what to do. Hand of Apocalypse, that name scares KnightWalkers more than "Mahesvara".''



''-KnightWalker 1: Turn on the flacks! Hurry! ''

- KnightWalker 2: Activating plasma shield!

- KnightWalker 3: Extra engine running!

- KnightWalker 4: Close the Aircraft doors!

''The place that was silent, was covered with loud voices of KnightWalkers in despair. Their reaction just now was not for nothing, they were really scared. The blast radius of the Hlokaust Cannon would destroy half of the United States, they had to enter the planet's atmosphere to escape. Consequently, they abandoned their forces in Liberty City but that was trivial matters.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Funeral Parlor 2nd Army of America 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Jellal's Army Fleet 



Finally, after many hours of pain and suffering, the reinforcements Jellal brought with him arrived in Liberty City.

''Jellal warned that their arrival would be long because there were many things to be resolved before invading Liberty City to free the city from the KnightWalkers. Reinforcements of KFP approached the city by North and West with planes, helicopters and cargo ships. They did not send battleships because there is hundreds anti-aircraft artillery in the city.''

''The soldiers of KFP 2nd Army were equipped and armed with high-technology, different from the KFP soldiers that were already struggling in the city. They also sent hundreds of members from Moon Terminator Company, they are high-ranking officers and can control Artificial Demons Weapons Class A. KnightWalkers were 7,000,000 soldiers when the invasion started, however, with the explosion of the Hlokaust cannon, their numbers were reduced to 4,000,000; this was insane that Eckidina's attack with the Hlokaust Cannon could actually help the heroic forces to take the city back.''



- KFP Captain: Wha--What exactly is going on?

''Inside of one of the many cargo ships, the KFP 2nd Army's captain, could not believe the sight in front of her. Because, in Liberty City, there were Drones, Cyborgs, Meta-Humans, tanks, Bipedal tanks, as well as soldiers from KFP and GDP, engaged in a fierce battle. In an instant, it was easy to forget that this was one of the most beautiful cities in America. Bullets were fired, explosions of magi-tech. The streets were nearly reduced to rubble.''

''—Earlier, KFP 2nd Army, who were on standby, had finally received orders to deploy. But, it was not to subdue the KnightWalker Family in Japan, it was to reinforce the American Branch of KFP and GDP, which had been attacked by the KnightWalker Family. To ignore the unprecedented revolution in Japan, but to assist GDP and KFP in United States instead. Although the orders were contradictory, they cannot just ignore the presence of KnightWalker Family in United States. The KFP and MTC soldiers quickly rushed towards Liberty City, where the American offices of KFP and GDP were situated.''



''The KFP Captain breathed deeply to clear her mind, and ordered her members. The captain is a blonde woman between 22 and 23 years old. Her name is Kourin and works as Jellal's secretary. ''

''- Kourin: 2nd Army, assist the GDP and KFP troops, and eliminate the KnightWalkers on the ground… Although I'm not pleased with this decision, this is an order. Do it well. No prisoners! ''

- KFP Radio: *Understood!*



''Obeying Kourin's orders, the Moon Terminator Company members with their Artificial Demon Weapons jumped off the planes and flew towards the city. As the MTC members flew towards the city, the KFP ships and planes arrived and landed on the coast. Few moments later, the KFP boats anchored on the coast and started dispatching the KFP troops towards the city.''

''However, the KFP troops were welcomed with heavy artillery and machine guns, but everything would happen as planned. The bombers would attack the enemy lines in into the city while the ground troops force their entry into the city.''

Part 2
<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Downtown Street Filas 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Street to KFP Base Point No.3 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 06:00 PM 



''As always, KnightWalkers lose in ability. They only win in numbers but their soldiers are not trained to fight in varied environments, this weakness was one of the reasons why the KnightWalker Family and All Jokers were losing. This attack, as stated before, is a horrible war created by Eckidina for fun, however, Eckidina gave secret orders for a high-ranking officer who was fighting in Liberty City during the conflict. Eckidina always dabbled in black magic that KFP use as a weapon, so she decided to steal a Black Magic Sample from KFP Base that Kyouhei was fighting to defend.''

''The base of the KFP was under attack just a few hours ago. The building was being attacked at 4 points, however, the forces of KFP managed to defeat the KnightWalkers in two lines. The battles continued in two lines of the building but the KnightWalkers and All Jokers were at a disadvantage. ''



''The person that Eckidina contacted to steal a Black Magic Sample from KFP base was inside an armored truck of KnightWalker Family and headed to the Point No.3 of the KFP Base. There were few soldiers defending the Point No.3 since the battle over there was already over.''

''- All Joker: Captain, allied forces are retreating! Two of our warships are not working anymore. The Warship No.2 was destroyed by the Hlokaust Cannon's impact and the Command Warship of Vladimir Makarov retreated for some reason.''

- (???): Is that so.



''Hearing his subordinates report, KnightWalker Family Special Ops Tony Dracon's voice did not betray a hint of surprise or regret or anything else at all. He merely nodded his head, not because he had already predicted that there was a high probability of allied defeat, but because he had already taken into account this possibility when plotting out his objectives. There was no correlation between achieving combat objectives and victory in battle. He had climbed to his current position because he had always followed that creed. And yes, the person that Eckidina contacted to this mission is Tony Dracon.''

- Tony: Currently, we will now begin Plan B.

''There were 20 soldiers accompanying him. Although their numbers were few, each one of them was a specialist at disrupting enemy assets from the rear gathered from back home. They were of an entirely different sort than the infiltrators he originally brought with him. Also... There is a familiar person with Tony on that truck.''



- Tony: General Griffith.

''Despite his mishap earlier, after taking into account his raw fighting ability, Tony still called out the name of his most trustworthy subordinate. Remember Griffith? Yes, he was the person who was in charge of the Slum in Paris. He was the first person who welcomed Azul when she arrived there and and sexually abused Atala.''

''No matter what his own thoughts on the matter were, Griffith perfectly modulated his voice when he responded to his superior officer. He was wearing his Original Meta-Human Armor, the enchanted armor called the "Femto". Also, Griffith was always a Meta-Human.''

- Griffith: I know my orders, Captain Tony.

- Tony: Good.

(- Narrator: It's been a long time since Griffith showed up, let's recall).

Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scenes from: LOTM: Sword of Kings: Rise of the Blue Haired Heroine - Welcome to the Organization 



''The cargo ships had arrived in Paris 12 hours after the massacre at the village. Some people looked through the window and saw the city. It was a beautiful landscape, but in a terrible situation. Azul dreamed of seeing Paris but not like that.''

''Azul was depressed and could barely think about her situation. ''

''All the cargo ships landed in a place similar to a favela very far from Paris. When the door opened, the civilians saw thousands of KnightWalkers waiting for them. People were taken to a huge hangar that was below of the favela. The hangar had ships and soldiers of the KnightWalker Family.''



''All the people were handcuffed and sat while dozens of soldiers surrounded them. Suddenly, a door at the end of the hangar opened and from the a man left from the darkness with a beautiful white hair, blue eyes and an evil smile. Except the smile, that man was gorgeous for any woman, because he appeared to be an Angel but in that situation, nobody cared who was ugly or handsome.''

''The man slowly walked toward the 2,300 people. He was wearing a military uniform similar to those of the KnightWalkers.''



''- (???): Hello my new slaves. You all look tired and scared. Haha. Don't worry, we won't hurt here, we just kill. Anyways, welcome to The Favela. This slum was a place created by KnightWalkers to send all the poor people who have provided work. In this place, you will have the privilege to work for Eckidina and Juria KnightWalker. Your efforts will give us weapons, supplies and products to maintain our market in movement. This place is commanded by the Organization, an slaver organization on KnightWalker Family. You will not be paid, your reward here is staying alive. Any claim will result in death. If someone tries to escape they will die. If someone tries to start a rebellion, they will die. Those who refuses to work will die. Be they women or children. We don't need weak people here.''

All civilians became pale after hearing those words.

''- Griffith: Sorry for my arrogance. My name is Griffith. The most loyal and known General of the KnightWalker Family. I serve Juria KnightWalker as the 1st General. It's a pleasure to meet you. ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Griffith: Welcome to the Organization.

Nowdays


- Griffith: I know my orders, Captain Tony.

- Tony: Good.

Tony stood up and looked at the 20 men in the truck.

''- Tony: Let's go! Our target is the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor Base!''

''In accordance with Tony's order, the unit quietly began to advance. Their target lay ahead of them, the American Branch of KFP Base in Liberty City.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Funeral Parlor Base 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Battle of Point No.1 



''Kyouhei followed behind his soldier, activated his thrusters, and joined the battle. His vision enhanced by his magi-tech, and noticed two drones above him. The drones swung their laser swords but Kyouhei jumped away from his location. Kyouhei then pulled out his Artificial Demon Weapon in Demonic Pistol form and the shot at the drones, the drones exploded from inside.''

''Another drone flew behind Kyouhei and shot a mini-missile. The missile almost hit Kyouhei, he flew 10 meters away from the explosion and hit a wall.''

- Drone: [HAHAHAHA].

''Interestingly, these drones could laugh as if they were people. Eckidina's drones are programmed to laugh to frighten enemies. ''

Kyouhei stood up and shot the drone with his Artificial Demon weapon, the drone exploded while it was laughing.

''- Kyouhei: What is with them, these guys. What they are after…?''

One of the All Jokers saw Kyouhei during the chaos of the battle and charged at Kyouhei with a knife in his hand.

''- All Joker: There you are! Rebel!''



- Kyouhei: Dammit...

''However, a laser beam hit the All Joker's leg from behind. The laser was a magi-tech bullet. The All Joker fell to the ground as another magi-tech bullet hit his head, klling him. A Moon Terminator Company Soldier approached Kyouhei and extended his hand to help Kyouhei.''

- MTC Soldier: Are you okay, sir?

- Kyouhei: I'm fine.

Kyouhei held the hand of the soldier and stood up.

''Few moments later, the last All Joker was shot down by several KFP Soldier. The battle of Point No.1 was over, however, the KFP lost 234 of their men. The heavy atmosphere on the place was broken when the MTC soldier that helped Kyouhei suddenly gasped.''

- Kyouhei: What is it?

- MTC Soldier: Well, near the Point No.3, I thought I felt the flare of a bestial soul...



''- Kyouhei: Bestial? As in a bloodthirsty, violent sort of way?''

''While directing his question to the MTC Soldier, Kyouhei pulled out a magi-tech talisman from his breast pocket before getting a reply. Kyouhei activated the spell, put it up to his eye and looked through the talisman at the Point No.3, he saw a tall man in some type of black armor with an armored truck behind him. That person is Griffith.''

- Kyouhei: Enemy attack?!

Surprise caused his voice to hitch.

- KFP Soldier 1: Is that reliable?

- KFP Soldier 2: I thought the enemy retreated before the KFP volunteers' attack?

''The KFP soldiers around Kyouhei immediately followed up with their own questions. Kyouhei nodded at their questions.''

''- Kyouhei: A small number of enemies launched a surprise assault from the rear with a terrifying amount of spell power. We have to go to Point No.3 quickly, the KFP Base is in danger!''

​After he said that, Kyouhei ran towards the Point No. 3 of KFP Base as many KFP Soldiers followed him.



''The surprise attack from Tony's detachment completely caught the KFP forces unprepared. This wasn't because it was a surprise assault using a small detachment of troops, but because they had kept so many elite forces in reserve.''

''The KnightWalker Family troops attacking along the coastline are currently (estimated) to be in a completely inferior position. The hillside forces were crushed by the volunteers under Kyouhei's command. The troops at Downtown were in complete disarray because of the flying troops in black. There was simply no additional troop strength left. And yet, they were definitely being attacked by a small group of elite soldiers. Their size did not surpass one squad in strength, yet every single one of them was incredibly capable in battle. Especially that warrior garbed in demonic-style armor, Griffith, who didn't even flinch at machine gun fire from APCs and broke through barricade after barricade until he reached the summit of the hill.''

From the distance, Kyouhei and company caught sight of Griffith and the KnightWalkers soldiers crushing the KFP resistence.



​- MTC Soldier: That guy?!

Seeing that soldier in black armor, or to be more precise, after feeling the aura he was giving off, the MTC member made a sound of pure astonishment.

''- Kyouhei: General Griffith from KnightWalker Family. He's a strong one. ​''

- MTC Soldier:  Eh~

- (???): Don't worry, I will end this in one strike!

''A female voice echoed on site. The voice came from behind the group. Kyouhei looked back and smiled. There was a woman with blue hair there walking towards them.''



- Kyouhei: Caitlin!

''Kyouhei shouted her name, after all, the woman there was Killer Frost. As many know, Caitlin Snow is her real name but many people prefer to her by her nickname.''

''- Frost: What's with that reaction? Disgusting.''

''Frost is actually a kind of person who hides her feelings behind of offensive words. Frost was actually happy when Kyouhei called by her name.''

- Kyouhei: Hehehe...

''For some reason, Kyohei of the idiotic personality had returned, but it lasted for only a few seconds. As said before, Kyouhei is a masoquist, he probably loved when she called him disgusting.''

​- Frost: KFP troops, take care of the enemies besides Griffith.

''- Kyouhei: Ah, we'll handle that guy. Frost, you are with me.''

Frost nodded at Kyouhei and looked towards Griffith.

- Frost: I was going to do that even without you saying so!



The Black Armor that Griffith wore was a device enchanted through the KnightWalker Ancient Magi-Tech Daoism and could amplify his endurance.

''40 APCs that replaced a standard barricade opened fire with its autocannon at Griffith with shells equivalent to high powered rifles, but Griffith brushed them aside easily. Griffith was tired of many APCs and decided to blow them up. Griffith pointed one of his fingers towards the enemy lines and shot a laser beam. The laser hit the APCs and exploded in a mega explosion.''

''However, in front of the final barricade, Griffith caught sight of Killer Frost standing in front of the entrance of the base. Although he had acquiesced to Eckidina's order to ignore unnecessary fights, the desire for a good fight burned fiercely within his bosom.''

''- Griffith: Killer Frost. The secretary of Kyouhei Kannazuki. ''



''- Frost: This is enough! You assault ends here, Griffith! ''

''- Griffith: I have orders from Eckidina to ignore unnecessary fights but you are interfering. It will be a pleasure to kill Kyouhei's lover, that traitor must pay for what he did 15 years ago.''

Frost gasped with the word "lover".

''- Frost: L-Lover?! Wha---''

''Griffith charged towards the young woman before she could finish her words. Frost summoned two swords made of ice and prepared to meet his charge. Frost's equipment could cover all the bases, but Frost was clairvoyant on how long she could last against Griffith operating at peak capacity. Before Griffith could attack Frost, he took a slashing attack from Kyouhei on his flank.''

''Kyouhei's speed was too quick for Griffith to dodge. Griffith then noticed Frost above him with her ice blades, Griffith raised both wrists to parry Frost's attack. Rubble scattered everywhere at Griffith's feet from the impact. After the force from her attack was transferred into the ground, Griffith's repelled the blade's attack. Frost flew backwards and hit a destroyed APC.''

- Kyouhei: Damn you!



''Kyouhei Activated his Demonic form, when he did that, a bloody red aura was flying around him. All Moon Terminator Company members have a demonic form to unleash their power. However, only people who can use Artificial Demonic Weapons can transform like that.''

Kyouhei's appearance changed to a Griffith changed his sight to Kyouhei behind him.

''- Griffith: Ooh. So this is your Demonic form. You're not going to use your Artificial Demon weapon? Traitor!''

- Kyouhei: No talking!

''In a flash the two charged at each other with fists ready. Kyouhei leaned his head to the left as Griffith's fist went bare inches from his face and landed his own fist in the KnightWalker warrior's stomach doubling him over in pain. Kyouhei wasted no time and quickly fazed out of sight and appeared behind his opponent and drove his elbow down into Griffith's neck sending him quickly into the tiled ground.''



''Griffith pulled himself to his feet and wiped a bit of dust off his fighting suit. The KnightWalker General smiled as he unleashed his Meta-Power.''

''In the next instant Kyouhei charged at the warrior throwing kicks and punches. Grffith simply laughed as he began to block the kicks and punches with ease before bringing a fist of his own forward and slamming it into Kyouhei's stomach causing a mixture of spit and blood to go flying out of the rebel's mouth.''

''Griffith grabbed Kyouhei's face and threw him into the ground hard. Kyouhei rose to his feet and wiped some blood from his mouth. Griffith stated as he fazed out of sight and instantly appeared in front of Kyouhei and drove his fist into the other rebel's face. ''



''Before Kyouhei could recover from the blow, Griffith reached out and grabbed the rebel's demonic horns and pulled Kyouhei's face down into his knee. Kyouhei went stumbling back with blood on his face trying to clear his vision off all the little birdies flying around his head. Griffith gave him no time and fired a small energy blast at the other warrior sending Kyouhei flying up in the air from the explosion.''

''Fazing out of sight once again Griffith appeared above him and stopped his momentum by bringing both fists down on his back hard. Kyouhei landed on ground hard making a large crater. A few seconds later he pulled himself out and to his feet.''

- Griffith: Had enough?



- Kyouhei: I'm not finished!

''With a scream the wind picked up around the rebel as his aura expanded and lightning bolts began to dance up and down his body. In a flash the two warriors disappeared from the sight of the people watching the battle and appeared high up in the sky throwing kicks and punches like crazy.''

''For a moment they seemed evenly matched but upon closer inspection it was obvious that Griffith wasn't really trying all that hard. The KnightWalker General was blocking all of what Kyouhei threw at him with ease and only throwing punches and kicks of his own at a fraction of the speed he was capable of in this form.''



The people watching down below were covering their eyes from the wind of Kyouhei and Griffith attacks.

- Kyouhei: Quit toying around with me!

- Griffith: Very well.

''Griffith replied in a cocky tone. In the next instant Kyouhei's fist passed through thin air as Griffith appeared behind him and drove an elbow into his neck hard. Kyouhei went flying but was quickly stopped as Griffith's knee appeared in his stomach causing blood and spit to fly from his mouth.''

Reacting quickly, Kyouhei used Instant Transmission to appear behind Grffith and sent a foot into the rebel's head.

Grffith simply cranked his head back into its rightful position and grinned.

''- Griffith: I'm impressed. You are skilled indeed to land a blow like that. But you are too out classed to stand a chance!''



''He finished as he reached out and grabbed Kyouhei by the horn and brought his face down to meet his knee. Kyouhei went reeling back only to be met by Griffith's fist again as the KnightWalker appeared above him with an axe-handle to the head. Kyouhei went pummeling to the ground where he landed hard making a huge crater on the ground. Griffith wasted no time and shot a laser beam on the crater, creating a huge explosion. Griffith floated above the explosion and grinned.''

''- Griffith: I know you're alive. Are you ready to die?''

- Kyouhei: No, you should be.

Kyouhei replied Griffith when he jumped out of the explosion and shot an energy beam at the KnightWalker.

- Griffith: Nice try.



''Griffith said as he easily swatted the beam off into space only to be struck by Kyouhei who had just used Instant Transmission to appear behind the KnightWalker. Griffith was caught off guard and sent flying forward.''

''Kyouhei charged at his opponent taking advantage of his momentary distraction and continued to pummel the other warrior. Griffith grimaced as he continued to block the blows coming from the rebel.''

''Kyouhei hadn't expected his opponent to be this determined, or this skilled for that matter. He was starting to get tired. This form just took too much energy out of him. He knew it was just because he hadn't gained full control over it yet. Sure he'd meditated and stayed in the form for an extended period and even trained in it a bit but never really pushed his limits in it. But he was far from exhausted and could easily hold onto his Demonic powers long enough to finish this fight. But he was tired of dragging it out.''

''Griffith caught Kyouhei's hand as the rebel threw another punch at him. Pulling on his opponent's arm, the KnightWalker brought Kyouhei forward and head butted him. Still holding onto his arm, Griffith swung Kyouhei around and tossed him high into the air.''

- Griffith: Blaster Shell!



He shouted as he sent a laser energy at the flying rebel.

''Kyouhei saw the attack coming and used Instant Transmission to get out of the way just seconds before it hit him only to be met with an elbow to the face by Griffith as he appeared behind the KnightWalker. The laser that Griffith exploded.''

- Griffith: Don't think I'll fall for that twice.

Griffith said turning and pummeling Kyouhei with a flurry of kicks and punches before throwing Kyouhei once again to the ground hard.

''Kyouhei slowly got to his feet and wiped some blood from his chin. Before he could even react Griffith was in front of him with a fist flying at his face. Kyouhei never even saw the blow coming and was hit hard. Griffith continued to pummel the rebel before throwing him up into the air again and following. Griffith floated about a foot away from where Kyouhei finally stopped his momentum.''



''- Griffith: Let's see you dodge this one. Blaster Shell!''

Griffith let the attack go at point blank range and hit Kyouhei full force.

''When the smoke cleared Kyouhei slowly fell to the ground battered and bleeding but still alive. He was back to his human form. Griffith disabled his flying tech and landed on the floor. He crossed his arms and smiled.''

''However, while he was thinking he won that battle, he relaxed. His eyes that were facing skyward caught sight of a white ice block flying towards his head. The size was about a child's fist and the dry ice was dropping at a speed that the eye could follow, so Griffith used his right fist to meet the block.''



''The second Griffith's palm came into contact, the dry ice block reverted to carbon dioxide and began to condense as it rushed towards Griffith. The high density carbon dioxide rushed into Griffith's wind pipe and filled his lungs.''

''That was Killer Frost's anti-personnel finishing strike "Dry Meteor". It was a magi-tech that combined all four processes of carbon dioxide convergence, condensation, acceleration and release. The magi-tech relied on the shock wave and carbon dioxide poisoning to render the enemy immobile.''

''Griffith felt his throat burning and fell to his knees while clutching his throat with both hands. His eyes turned white as blood left from his mouth and nose. Moments later, Griffith fell to the floor. Griffith, the man who abused sexually of countless women at the Slum in Paris, was finally dead.''

Frost was standing 7 meters away from there.



- Frost: Don't forget that you are in enemy territory.

''Frost smiled and walked towards the crater where Kyouhei was. She looked at him.''

-  Frost: Kyouhei, are you hurt?

Frost asked sarcastically.

- Kyouhei: No, I fell as if I had been born.

''Several soldiers KFP approached. They had finished with all KnightWalker troops who tried to invade the base along with Griffith.''

- KFP Soldier 1: All enemy units are dead.

Frost changed her sight to the soldier beside her.

''- Frost: Good. With this the of battle for GDP Base in Liberty City is over. We won.''

"....."



- Kyouhei: No...

Everyone looked at Kyouhei jumping out of the crater.

- Frost: What do you mean?

- Kyouhei: When they invaded this point, an unknown person entered the base while we were fighting Griffith.

''- Frost: A person? ''

''- Kyouhei: He's probably the leader of this assault. I don't know wha--- Don't tell me... They want a sample of our Dark Magi-Tech!''

This Dark Magi-Tech is the magi-tech used by KFP; Artificial Demon Weapons Class A. In other words, this Magi-Tech is the magic that allow people to transform into Artificial Demons like Kyouhei did when he fight Griffith.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Inside of KnightWalker Funeral Parlor Base 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Corritor of 45th Floor 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later 



''Tony Dracon was walking along a corridor leading to the KFP side branch by himself. Although this was a special operation, he was making no attempt to hide the sound of his footsteps and was just walking normally. Although he had not taken the elevator or escalator from the first floor and was only taking the stairs, he had yet to be discovered by anyone.''

''All of those watchful gazes were concentrated on his subordinates drawing all the attention by the hillside. He knew of this and never doubted that for a second, because he had arranged for this to happen from the very beginning. In his conspicuous black armor, Griffith was the perfect bait.''



''Ghostwalker was a magi-tech that selected positions based on fortune. Still, much like how ninjutsu was seen as solely a physical attribute despite its nature as a high class ability, the Ancient Magi-Tech - Ghostwalker also had a side of its own. It was a magi-tech that manipulated the vectors. Based on the user's wishes, this secretive magic-tech could redirect other people's attention to the desired location.''

''People with their vectors scrambled would never locate the target. Much like someone who intended to walk straight forward but was actually walking in circles, or maybe seeing a carriage plainly in walking distance but never able to catch up. Ghostwalker was a specialized branch of mental interference magic.''



​''Unrestricted by physical parameters, consciously manipulating the target's direction was the basics of Ghostwalker. Thanks to the assistance of his subordinates, Tony easily reached the KFP Dark Magi-Tech Room.''

- Tony: This is the room.

''He pushed against the door only to find that the door was locked. This was within his calculations. Tony quickly removed a terminal and pressed it against the key pad. He was using Gold Electron Silkworms virus to break through the locking mechanism and bypass this physical barrier. Although the alarm sounded because the locking mechanism was breached, Tony didn't mind in the slightest because he had plenty of time before the KFP members returned. The moment Tony stepped into the side branch of the KFP Association — he was surrounded by a surreal, chilling air.''



''Tony ignored the cold and looked around. He saw many Dark Magi-Tech samples in shelves.''

- Tony: Looks like the mission wa---

''- (???): So that is Ghostwalker. I learned something new today.''

''Tony stopped his words when adelightful and charming voice traveled to Tony's ears. He was unable to move freely despite the fact that he wasn't frozen, so he had to force himself to look towards where the voice came from. ''

''Standing there was an impossibly beautiful young woman, and she was no artificial projection that could only be found in the realm of the fey. And she was smiling coldly at him, Killer Frost.''

​- Tony: Caitlin Snow.



- Frost: Since you already know my real name, that means you are the ones who have been troubling this city and our branch.

''For some reason, Frost's voice contained a feeling of assurance. Despite the questions Tony had on the subject, he opened his mouth to ask another question.''

''- Tony: Why are you here? Did my magi-tech not take effect...?''

''Frost's smile seemed to raise the temperature somewhat. Just this alone was enough to send Tony's heart beating wildly.''

''- Frost: That's because I received a warning. Be careful of the vectors and Kyouhei. You were using Invisibility and Ghostwalker Magi-Tech while we were fighting Griffith.''

''Tony's eyes widened. That implied that someone had already seen through his invisibility and Ghostwalker magi-tech. Like Frost said before, he was using invisibility and Ghostwalker magi-tech at the same time to enter the building without being seen by anyone.''

''- Tony: Funny. Why a former serial killer like you can say things like that? You are playing to be a heroine of justice now? Or you're doing it for Kyouhei?''

''- Frost: Search me. I confess that I still have the desire to kill people. The only thing that has changed is that I'm in a group and I'm killing people from different sides.''



''- Tony: You hate civilians, right? You took pleasure in killing weaklings. Join us, Caitlin Snow, and Eckidina will fulfill your wish. You will be able to do what you want without restrictions. Think about it!''

Tony said that with a cocky smile in the hope he could bring Frost to his side.

Frost, however, ignored his words like some type of machine.

''- Frost: ​Since I was warned to watch the vectors, I might as well as be on guard against all 360 degrees. I know I'll get something this way.''

- Tony (think): *That's complete bull crap!*

''Tony thought. If that alone was sufficient to break Invisibility, then the technique would have gone extinct long ago. Yet — the reality was that his spell had been broken. Just as he was considering this, Tony's body detected a different chill than the cold air that was surrounding him.''

- Frost: Fortunately, we have a Magician on our side who can see the unseeable, so we could catch your figure even if we couldn't see your magic.



- Tony: That was entirely different from guarding every vector!

- Frost: Regardless, since you are the perpetrator, I'm sure everyone would be more relaxed if you disappeared.

''Frost revealed an adorable smile as if she was incredibly pleased. Within that smile, Tony realized what his fate would be. It was only now that Tony discovered that his body temperature was dropping at an unnatural rate.''

''- Frost: You can take a small nap. I've made great strides so I guarantee you will not sleep forever.''

''Accompanied by that voice, Tony's consciousness was submerged in darkness. In Frost's voice, there was a sense of revenge for the death of the Vice Captain who had died a few hours ago.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Family Hlokaust Satellite 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Hand of Apocalypse 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 4000 kilometers above Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes later 



''Several reports came in the bridge of Hand of Apocalypse Satellite. The cannon had absorbed a lot of solar energy and was almost ready to shoot. The satellite cannon takes longer than Eckidina ship's cannon to fire he first shot, however, damage the cannon is much higher.''

''Misogi was seated on the commander on the main bridge when the last reports of the cannon had finally arrived. Everything was ready. Misogi smiled in satisfaction.''

''- KnightWalker Worker 1: The cannon is ready! ''

''- KnightWalker Worker 2: The coordinates of the target are ready. Waiting for orders!''

''Misogi had not thoughts or words. He was literally focused on this attack, without thinking twice, Misogi opened his mouth and said the order.''



- Misogi: FIRE!

- KnightWalker Workers: Positive!

''Without thinking twice, the pilots and crew of the Hand of Apocalypse around the satellite followed Misogi's orders. Several people who were not on the bridge were able to hear Misogi's words through the radio.''

''Some of them were scared of that order because it was something so fast and direct. Misogi clearly showed that he do not have any empathy at that time, others think he never had empathy from the beginning. Misogi simply authorized one of the deadliest attacks in mankind's history with just a word. Yet, no matter who shot the cannon, Eckidina assumes all responsibility.''



''Moments later, the main cannon of the satellite in the shape of a tube opened in massive gates made of metal. When the tube was opened, it revealed a bright energy that was changing colors every time. The energy was yellow, a second later changed to red, and another second changed to green.''

''Few moments later, the cannon shot a huge beam of light. Despite the energy is powerful, it did not affect the soldiers who were flying around the ship out there. The cannon is very heavy and loud, however, the sound does not propagate in space. The laser is slow because of its massive energy but would soon arrive in Liberty City within 15 minutes.''

Misogi let out an evil grin while he watched that scene.

- Misogi: Goodbye, America.

Within these words, Misogi shows that he also has a certain contempt for the United States and its population.

Part 3
<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Noble District 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 06:10 PM 



''At the same time that Killer Frost captured Tony, Tomas and Wataru were closing in on the enemy's jugular. Although Kyouhei and the volunteers under his command were also aggressively pursuing the enemy, they were doing so by foot and didn't possess the sheer mobility of Tomas's group. Under the conditions where soldiers were capable of independent flight, the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion fully utilized this revolutionary application of flying troops to its utmost as they outflanked and cut off the enemy from the flank and rear.''

''Wataru's foot soldiers were battling the KnightWalkers and All Jokers at the Noble District. The Noble District is where most of the rich and politicians of LC live, so this district was one of the first targets the KnightWalkers attacked soon after the invasion. Unfortunately, KnightWalkers surrounded the district and prevented the escape of any civilian. All people at the Noble District were executed, men, women and children. The KnightWalkers raided the houses and stole all the belongings of these people. There is no rules that prevent the soldiers from stealing belongings of dead civilians.''



''In combat, there were reporters with cameras recording the battle inside of the houses. This may be odd or even stupid, but there will always be people wanting to record conflicts of war, this can be for money or evidence of war crimes. These reporters are always seen in a negative way because they put their lives at risk and prefer to record the battle instead of helping people and wounded in front of them.''

''The GDP and KFP were not the only ones struggling. During the battle, small groups of civilians attacked the enemy lines with weapons they took of soldiers killed in the conflict. Men who had strength to fight joined the battle but they lacked proper training for that war. Tomas and Wataru were fighting the enemies on the ground alongside the KFP reinforcements.''



''Tomas saw 12 men (civilians) running through the crossfire. They hid behind a destroyed bus. Tomas changed his sight to the GDP Lieutenant beside him.''

- Tomas: Who are these men?!

- GDP Lieutenant: They're from the resistence!

''Several sounds of gunfire and explosions prevented Tomas from listening the GDP Lieutenant's words correctly. While Tomas was chatting with the GDP Lieutenant, the civilians were killed one by one by the enemy machine guns.''

- Tomas: Tell them to leave the crossfire!

''A explosion hit the building Tomas and the platoon were hiding. Tomas and his men bowed their heads and continued shooting.''



- GDP Lieutenant: I can't do that, sir! They're from the civilian resistence, the GDP is more focused on the enemy!

''- Tomas: I want all these men away from this district, right now! I take responsibility! Do what I say!''

A GDP Bomber approached Tomas while he was covering behind a pillar.

''- GDP Bomber: Sir, Commander Wataru and his Magi-tech Squad is leaving this district! They managed to get into the enemy lines where the cargo ships of KnightWalkers are anchored. Leave this place with us!''

Tomas bit his lips because he was carrying to much burden in his back.

''- Tomas: Roger that! Good work, soldier!''

''Tomas ran out of the house and activated his Flying Magi-Tech. Tomas flew away and headed towards the Docks in Bryin Port.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Docks 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Bryin Port 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 06:12 



''Tomas, Wataru and their squad were flying above Liberty City. Few moments later, they arrived at the Docks, Bryin Port.''

''​The Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion finally caught sight of the camouflaged vessel that served as the enemy base. The enemy invested approximately 20 large APCs with wheels, 60 bipedal tanks, and 800 combat personnel that included large numbers of Cyborgs.''

''Although this was insufficient to capture territory, this was more than enough firepower for one battle. However, they were currently mired in a state of annihilation where all APCs and bipedal tanks were destroyed and infantry losses exceeded 70%. The force on the front line responsible for routing them was the same 40 man flying unit. The Liberty City Incident was approaching its final stage.''

Since Vladimir Makarov's cruiser left LC, that cargo ship became the new base of the KnightWalker Family.

''Completing his role as the commanding officer for the volunteers, Tomas noticed the KnightWalker cargo ship began to retreat. There was no doubt that they were running away.''



- Tomas: The enemy vessel is departing our shores!

Hearing that report, Wataru's brows slightly furrowed to portray his astonishment.

- Wataru: The enemy should not have been able to retreat yet.

''Currently, there were no longer any enemy combatants still fighting anywhere in sight. The unit they were fighting just a moment ago had fled after leaving a rear guard behind. Even the surviving members of the rear guard had surrendered. Even so, they couldn't possibly have boarded all the remnants on such short notice. There should be still be enemy forces remaining along the coastline.''

''- GDP Magician: The enemy appears to have abandoned any attempt at recovering their remaining forces. Shall we turn to eradication?''



''One of the GDP Magicians in Tomas' team, whose age was roughly the same as Wataru, asked Wataru this question with his eyes sparkling. After bitter, continuous fighting with lots of allied losses and the death of innocent, a vengeful spirit was only to be expected. That being said, it was precisely for this reason that Wataru shook his head.''

''- Wataru: That is not our responsibility. We do not have to take unnecessary risks, so leave the rest to the KFP.''

- GDP Magician: --Understood!



''He probably wasn't satisfied with that answer, but he didn't disobey the Magician from the Global Pact Defense Jaguer Forces responsible for leading them to victory. From the young man's mouth, the order was issued to all volunteer units to cease combat operations. The battalion from KFP came from the north, whereas a unit from Kyouhei was finally on approach from the south. From the west, there was the garrison from Jellal's army with elements from the GDP units. Unable to sustain the pressure exerted from all three fronts, the enemy abandoned all attempts to recover the battlefield and began to retreat. Not that Tomas ever intended to allow the enemy vessel that was frantically hoisting anchor to escape.''

''- Tomas: Leave the enemies that haven't escaped to the squads behind us. We're taking the fight to the enemy vessel and taking it down!''

While it was possible to use the Mobile Suit's aerial mobility to fly over the enemy remnants on the ground and board the enemy vessel to directly assault the interior, Tomas opted not to use that strategy due to the inherent risk and waste of time.

''However, just as they were about to take flight, a female voice called for him to desist. That voice came from the radio in his ear.''



- (Radio ???): *Special Lieutenant Tomas, please do not launch a direct assault on the enemy vessel.*

- Tomas: Sanada, what's going on?

Sanada was the one who interjected over the intercom.

- Sanada (radio): *'The enemy vessel is using hydrazine fuel batteries. Sinking that vessel in Liberty City Bay would negatively affect the water quality too severely'.*

''Tomas lightly clucked his tongue. He wasn't going to ask why she knew something like this. Grasping the streaming beam of electrons and using magic to backtrack the target was one of Sanada's favorite magi-tech tactics. Sanada was able to tell the difference between normal Magicians and "Boosters" simply by reading the weak brain waves from up to 1 km out. Thus, identifying the molecular composition of the massive store of fuel without any radiation screens posed no challenge for her.''

- Tomas: So what are we going to do?



- (Radio ???2): Fall back, Tomas.

- Tomas: Commander Christopher Pike?

''The transmission target suddenly changed to Christopher Pike, the Supreme Commander of GDP in LC.. This did not originate from the alteration to the change in target, but to the order itself.''

- Pike (radio): *'Do not misunderstand. We are not ending the battle here. Leave the cleanup of the enemy remnants to the units from Kyouhei and Jellal, your group is to return immediately.*'

- Tomas: Understood.

"........"



''For some reason, everything was silent. The shootings in the city stopped for some reason. There were no more explosions and gunfire echoing through the skies of the city. Tomas, Wataru and his group felt an extremely high pressure swallow the place where they were. For some reason, Tomas' vision was slow as if it were in slow motion.''

Tomas looked up.

- Tomas: Dammit...

''Wataru did the same. When he did that, his mouth opened as if he were seeing something divine coming down from the heaven.''



- Wataru: Jesus...

''The soldiers who were flying next to them quickly dropped the guns they were carrying. Several sounds of weapons being broken was heard when they hit the ground.''

- GDP Magician 1: You gotta be joking...

- GDP Magician 2: This is...

''- GDP Magician 3: ... The end...''

''That reaction was not a surprise or exaggeration. All the soldiers there were looking at the sky when a huge energy blast was coming down from the sky. The laser was so huge that the shadow of the unknown laser covered the entire city. That thing has 15 kilometers in diameter, it was something like a meteor falling from the heavens. There was something strange in that laser, the colors of the laser changed every second for different types of colors. The laser was also very slowly, it was probably 300 kilometers per hour.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Chronos Empire Chopper



The entire city saw that laser, Eugen's squad that going towards Jellal location saw that laser as well.

''- Eugen: You're going too far... Eckidina...''

Logan and the others were watching the laser coming towards LC in the chopper.

- Logan: This is insane...

- Marcus: I thought the KnightWalkers could only shoot the Hlokaust Cannon once...

- Cryska: They are using the Hand of Apocalypse, so they can shoot many times as they want.

''- Roy: This is the end, right. The Hand of Apocalypse satellite has enough power to wipe out the USA with one shot. One single shot from this cannon equivalent to a power of asteroid.''

- Takeshi: It was an honor to fight with you, 79th Division.



''After Takeshi said that, everyone were silent as they prepared to die. They were soldiers from GDP and KFP, they were ready for any kind of threat, even death.''

''- Tarma: Sorry, Jellal... We couldn't help you.''

"...................."

- Eugen: There is no need to worry about that.

- Everyone: !!!!!!!!!!

Everyone looked at Eugen in shock.

''- X-23: There is no need to worry? Why?''

- Takeshi: What do you mean with that?

Eugen smiled and replied.

''- Eugen: Because... Mahesvara is here!''

- Marcus: Mahesvara?

- Logan: The Demon of GDP?

Eugen's cute smile filled the mind of everyone in that helicopter with confidence, even though that situation was terrible.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 9 kilometers away from Plaza 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Washi District 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 06:20 PM 



- Jellal: So this is how it ends?

Jellal spoke in a calm, cold voice.

''Jellal was fighting Cavalo De Troia when the laser appeared in the heavens. The fight was so intense that during the fight they were 5 kilometers away from the Plaza where they were originally fighting.''

''Jellal and Cavalo were in a tie, both had the same level of power and skill. Horse's armor was destroyed, revealing his true identity. Counteless KnightWalker Drones tried to attack Jellal during the fight but eliminated them easily. Jellal was pleased with the arrival of his army and was happy that KnightWalkers were retreating, however, that laser destroyed his last hopes. He knew that laser was from Hand of Apocalypse Satellite, only that satellite have a firepower of that magnitude.''



''Jellal was looking at the sky while his opponent, Cavalo De Troia, was standing 10 meters in front of him. Cavalo was looking at the laser too, they stopped fighting to see the same thing. ''

Jellal turned his head to Cavalo.

- Jellal: Did you see this?

Cavalo heard his words and turned his sight to his enemy.

''- Jellal: This is what the person you serve do! She kills everyone in her way. Eckidina uses all of you, and then threw you away all like garbage! Why did you continue serving Eckidina after seeing everything she does?! She destroys both friends and enemies to see the pain of others! Why?! Tell me! What the hell you guys sees on her?! Eckidina is a monster, you guys know this but still next to her!''

Cavalo smiled.



''- Cavalo: Why? "Why", you asked. That's a funny question, Jellal Fernandes.''

Jellal edged his eyes.

''- Cavalo: What do you know about us, Cyborgs? Do you think we gave up on our humanity because we thought flesh was weak? No!''

''- Jellal: What? ''

''- Cavalo: I was a human once. I was a human like you years ago. What do you think that bitch did in order to create us, Cyborgs!''

''Jellal's eyes widened when he heard the word "bitch". It's not like he was being sarcastic, he was astonished to hear the Cyborg that serves Eckidina call her a "bitch". Cavalo was not messing around, he was serious.''

Jellal never heard how Cyborgs were created since this is a top secret KnightWalker project.

''- Cavalo: It all started 15 years ago, when the KnightWalkers created nanomachines that could replace any type of material for metal, Eckidina had an inhuman idea. 1 year before that, Eckidina had destroyed Fiore Kingdom, with the destruction of Fiore Kingdom, the Cold War II started and the many countries on the world declared war to KnightWalker Family. With the beginning of the Cold War II, Eckidia tried to use nanomachines in humans to create the perfect soldier!''



- Jellal: You don't mean...

''- Cavalo: Exactly! Human experiments! And on a huge scale! Eckidina sent her soldiers to small villages in the country of Georgia and kidnapped all the inhabitants! 90,000 people were captured! No one was spared! All fighters were soon executed after the invasion!''

Jellal was attentive to the words of the Cyborg in front of him.



''- Cavalo: People who formerly had names had their names changer for numbers! They became laboratory guinea pigs, they were forced to eat the own nails to survive! Some committed cannibalism to survive within that underground lab! They had their bellies and heads split open while still alive and they eere driven mad eithin experimental rings to test the resistence on the nanomachines on the human brain!''

''Cavalo was speaking as his hatred was coming to the fore. ''



''- Cavalo: Do you know how we were born? Us, Cyborgs that belongs to Eckidina?! Sperm samples were taken from the men, and young women were forcefully impregnated and forced to bear many children! I was one of them! I never had a family! My brothers, sisters and I were raised on constant psychological torture to break our ethical and moral so that we might become psychotic soldiers loyal to Eckidina! We suffered brainwashing to serve Eckidina and Juria! Just to create the perfect soldier called "Cyborg", Eckidina wiped out an entire population of 150 villages! 90,000 people! Every last one! ''



''Jellal was speechless. Well, that reaction was not exaggeration, Jellal spent all his life killing Cyborgs thinking that they were bloodthirsty monsters. That story shocked Jellal in his, he had just discovered that Cyborgs were not the real villains; they were victims.''

- Jellal: This...

''- Cavalo: Trust me, I had a brother when I was 5 years old. He was the only person I could trust and love in that place. He was my light. But one day... They took him away from me. That was the last day I saw him. I never saw him again. ''

Cavalo continued.



''- Cavalo: You all from KFP call yourselves "heroes". What's this? You all are just slaves trapped in the vicious circle of war and destruction. You had people who once loved you, but we, Cyborgs, never had a family. We were born and grew up as guinea pigs. We had our members replaced by metal while we were awake and we are obliged to follow orders of corrupt and greedy leaders against our will. You can eat anything and savor the delights of the world, but we are forced to drink blood to survive to keep our working heart. No matter what the position of you humans, you all are lucky. You can love, you can hate, you can feel cold and heat, you can smell, you can have emotions, you can have happiness, you can have a "real" smile. You can feel all that is true, even the pain Eckidina praise. I'm jealous of you. You can die with a shot in the head, we are charred alive and still alive in this world of shit. ''

Cavalo puts his both hands on his face and looked down.



''- Cavalo: We have nothing! And we know that we can not be like humans as we were before during our birth! We are things that should not exist in this world. We are interference, evil creations to cause pain and suffering. We can not have anything, that's why we all have a dream. A single dream that keeps us alive! We want to die!''

Jellal's eyes widened.

- Jellal: What?!

''- Cavalo: Exactly! We are immortal, so we can not feel pain or death. The only thing that can save us is death! We kill thousands of people in order to find a strong person to kill us. We can not commit suicide, our regenerative ability is too powerful. We, Cyborgs, commit all kinds of atrocities to generate hatred. This hatred will make people stronger enough to kill us. That's why I like you, Jellal! You have the power to kill me!''

Hearing his words, Jellal remembered an old conversation he had with Kyouhei years ago.

Jellal's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> United States - Los Santos 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Vinewood Park 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 02:32 AM 



''This happened four years ago in Los Santos. At that time, Kyouhei and Jellal were working together in the same army. Kyouhei and Jellal decided to walk the empty and peaceful streets of Vinewood. Vinewood is well protected by the police but it is still a pacific neighborhood where you can walk at night. After a few minutes walking, Jellal and Kyouhei sat on a public bench in an empty square and looked at the city. It was a beautiful vision.''

''- Jellal: Hey, Kyouhei. When this war will end? Yesterday, I received a report, 10 friends of mine were sent to the battlefields in Warsaw. All of them were killed during the bombing. There's nothing left of their bodies to be recovered. My officials said Cyborgs took the remains of their bodies and drank what was left of blood. This is inhuman, this is painful. This is what war is. I lost so many friends that I don't cry anymore. I lost my soul?''



''Kyouhei was looking at the city when Jellal asked that. ''

''- Kyouhei: I know these are difficult times but I believe we need to move on. Many people say the war only makes things worse, in fact, the war causes more pain and suffering, however, I believe this is the correct path. Many people will die and many families will suffer but it is necessary strength and discipline to change. A peace between us and KnightWalkers is impossible.''

- Jellal: .....

- Kyouhei: Also, don't blame that Cyborgs.

- Jellal: What do you mean?



''- Kyouhei: Jellal, there many types of immortal monsters in this world. When I was looking at them, I remembered something. They really want immortality? Most of them seem to hunger for battle. Their battles are a call, a cry. These Cyborgs we see as mechanized monsters, they cry for death. The reason they want battles and death is because that is what makes them feel alive. And this is what can take the sad life they had away. Cyborgs, people who have been transformed into monsters, they do not have goals or dreams, they have no place in the hearts of others. They are lost souls who were left with nothing even before their birth. They are people fighting in countless battles. Jellal, I friend, I see these immortal Cyborgs like nothing more than children crying to be free of this world full of suffering.''

-  Jellal: But this is...

Kyouhei continued.

''- Kyouhei: Then let me ask you, Jellal. Who are the true monsters? Aliens? Vampires? Demons? Cyborgs? No. Humans are the true monsters, Jellal. That's why we have to change. Cyborgs are victims of humans, they want to be free from this world.''

Nowdays


''Jellal was distracted in his memories. Several things were happening in his head. Jellal was unsure what to do, he did not know what to do before that situation, that Cyborg a victim, and that Cyborg was an enemy who was being forced to fight in that war against his will.''

''- Cavalo: You, human! What is your answer to the peace between us?! You're from KFP!''

".............." 

''An overwhelming silence fell on the place while the energy blast of the Hand of Apocalypse satellite approached Liberty City. 2 minutes He had passed since Cavalo did that question.''

Jellal opened his eyes in a sad expression.

''- Jellal: ... I don't know...''

A strong wind passed over the place, freeing up a lot of dust in the air.

''- Cavalo: I see. You don't have a answer. If you don't have a reason then you're not worth to kill me. There is no point if the person has the power but does not have a reason.''

Cavalo quickly charged at Jellal, he focused his dark energy in his hands while running towards Jellal.



- Cavalo: Let's finish this fight!

- Jellal: I agree!

''Jellal closed his eyes while releasing his magi-tech energy. However, he had lost the spirit to fight, Jellal has compassion for the victims of the war, so he was unable to kill that man. In fact, all KnightWalkers are victims but their relationship with them KnightWalker Family was never shown to the public.''

''Cavalo rose up into the air high above the youth KFP rebel and gathered energy into his finger. Soon a little red ball of energy appeared above his finger. In no time at all it grew to an enormous size. ''

''- Cavalo: Now you'll die you fool! If you try to dodge this pitiful district will die! This is my powerful technique! Buraco Negro ! ''

(- Narrator: "Buraco Negro" means "Black Hole").

- Cavalo: DIE!

Cavalo yelled at Jellal with an insane smile.



''- Jellal: Cavalo! I know my answer!''

''Jellal yelled at Cavalo before he could launch his most powerful technique. When Cavalo heard his words, he stopped his hands.''

- Cavalo: Huh?

''- Jellal: I know my answer! I know what I should do with all Cyborgs! ''

- Cavalo: Hmm...

''- Jellal: I'll do the same! I'll kill you all! Now I understand what Kyouhei meant. You want to be hated to be killed by the hands of your victims and be free. Very well! I'll kill all Cyborgs of this world! I will free you all! I will not hate you!''

- Cavalo: !!!!

Cavalo's eyes widened.



- Cavalo: You will not hate us?

''- Jellal: No matter who it is. We all need someone to remember us. I will not forget any of you. I'll love you all, that's why I'm going to release from your curse! COME! ''

Cavalo smiled in satisfaction.

''- Cavalo: Very well! Show me!''

''Cavalo let the blast go at the young rebel a few seconds later. Jellal simply raised his hands up and caught the blast with little trouble. The blast pushed him back to the ground and his feet dug in making imprints in the street floor. The blast continued to push the Jellal down until he was completely out of sight. Then suddenly it stopped. The giant red ball of energy began to slowly rise back up out of the ground as Jellal appeared under it once again. With a grin he brought his knee up sending the ball back at Cavalo with blinding speed.''



''Cavalo jumped out of the way at the last second and the ball flew by him to explode harmlessly in space. That's strike three Jellal said in a low voice. Jellal rose to the air slightly above Cabalo. Moving his hands at an amazing speed he finally brought them in front of him and formed an energy attack.''

- Jellal: Burning Attack!

''Jellal shouted as he launched it at the now grounded Cavalo. Cavalo jumped out of the way of the blast high into the air. Only to see Jellal above him with his sword held high.''

- Cavalo: Impossible!

''- Jellal: PREPARE YOURSELF! CAVALO DE TROIA!''

Cavalo's shock expression changed to a smile.



''- Cavalo: Very well! Amazing!''

''Jellal came down with the sword slashing through the Cyborg in one easy stroke. Cavalo fell to the ground, he had hus belly cut by the katana. Jellal concentrated all his magi-tech in the blade at the time of the attack, so the attack was fatal to Cavalo.''

''After Cavalo fell to the ground, Jellal landed on the ground with subtlety. Jella walked towards Cavalo, he was smiling on the floor with one of his hands on the belly.''

''- Jellal: That was my answer. ''



''- Cavalo: Haha--- *coff* Amazing... truly... amazing... HAHA--HAHAHA! It's finally happening! Ah... This is so good...''

- Jellal: Cavalo, this is really what you wanted?

''- Cavalo: Yes... This amazing feeling. I had such miserable life, this is the best gift I can get. ''

Cavalo started to cry.

''- Cavalo: Huh? Ah... Haha... Look at that I can cry... Hey, Jellal...''

- Jellal: Hm?

- Cavalo: You want to know my next dream?



"......"

''- Jellal: Please... I'll remember it.''

''- Cavalo: ................. If I reborn in this world again, I want this world to be a better place... Maybe... you guys from KFP are really heroes. Can you do that?''

''- Jellal: I can... But I can't do that alone. This is what the KFP is for. Friendship, bonds and trusts are what makes us move on. Do not worry, my friend, I will carry out your wish.''

''- Cavalo: Thank you... Timmy... Like you too...''

''- Jellal: Timmy? Your brother?''

Cavalo, however, was losing his consciousness and could no longer hear Jellal.

''- Cavalo: Ahh... The war... The pain... The screams... The nightmares... Finally... Over...''



''Cavalo's eyes closed, the 009 Experiment Cyborg from Eckidina's Horsemen, was finally dead. ''

''- Jellal: Cavalo... I'll not disappoint you. Thanks to you, now I know this war is not so black and white like I thought. ''

Jellal looked up and looked at the huge laser beam coming towards the city.

''- Jellal: But I can't die here. Go, Tomas!''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Point No. 3 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 06:26 PM 



''At the same time, all KFP soldiers who were gathered around the KFP base looked to the sky. There were at least 500 soldiers in all there, 300 men died in combat to protect the base. Many there had lost the spirit to fight and dropped their weapons, after all, all of them already knew what would be their fate when they saw that laser approaching LC. Even Frost was afraid at that point, however, there was only one person who was not worried about it, Kyouhei Kannazuki, was chewing a gum while everyone looked to the sky. Killer Frost realized that reaction and questioned him.''

- Frost: Kyouhei?

- Kyouhei: Hmm?

''- Frost: What're you doing at this moment? You do not realize our situation?''

Kyouhei laughed.

''- Kyouhei: HAHAHAHA! Of course, I realized it. But there is nothing to worry about.''

All KFP soldiers near Kyouhei heard his words.

''- Frost: Huh? What do you mean?''

Kyouhei smiled.

- Kyouhei: Because, that "man" is here, right?



- Frost: That man?

- Kyouhei: Tomas Sevchenko, the Mahesvara.

Frost gasped.

''- Frost: ... I know Tomas is strong but this is too much. How he will win it?!''

"................." 

''Kyouhei looked down as he continued. Kyouhei was serious now but he was smilling all the time. Frost was confused at that point, she really I wanted to know why he puts so much faith in Tomas.''



''- Kyouhei: KFP and GDP, we are from different organizations but we are the same inside. We have the same goals and the same reasons to fight. We were born in this country and we are patriots, or rather, we are humanized, unlike KnightWalkers. We have to protect people we love, those bonds of love and friendship are our true strength. Our magicians discover the value of love for themselves, Tomas found that value alone and know how much people are valuable for him. All these people have families, so Tomas will fight until the last breath of his life to protect these people. If threat is greater, Tomas will become stronger. That's why I trust him, he is a fair and full of kindness person. ''

Everyone stayed in silent but if Kyouhei trust in Tomas, they need to think the same.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Docks 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Bryin Port 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 06:30 PM 



''All GDP Magicians were looking at the sky with no hope of a victory. Actually, every single person in that city, even the civilians and KnightWalkers knew they were going to die. However...''

- Wataru: Eh?

- GDP Magician 1: What is happening now?

- GDP Magician 2: A lightning storm?

''That was really a surprise, a huge lightning storm fell upon the heavens of Liberty City. The sky was already night so that was something beautiful to be seen, but that was not really the best time to enjoy it. In addition, the heaven of Liberty City were shining because of the laser approaching. The laser was only 30 kilometers away from the ground, it would destroy Liberty City in 10 minutes.''



- Wataru: What is this?!

- GDP Magician 2: Maneuver evasive!

''Wataru and the Magicians saw rays coming towards them. At the speed of sound, Wataru and the others dogded the rays, however, what they saw was something really shocking and amazing. After they dogded the rays, they looked back and saw that the rays were hitting Tomas. Dozens of electric charges fell on Tomas' head every second, generating extremely bright lights, luckily, the armor of GDP  Magicians has dark display and protected their eyes.''

''Wataru and soldiers were stunned to see that the rays were not hitting Tomas for anything, they were being attracted by Tomas. Tomas was absorbing the electric charge of the rays at an incredible speed.''



''1 minute has passed since Tomas started absorb the rays. After that, Tomas' body was completaly surrounded by electricity. A large blue aura of electricity appeared around Tomas.''

- GDP Magician 3: This is...!

''- Wataru: Tomas! Don't tell me...!''

''- GDP Magician 4: You're planning to stop that laser with your Eletrecity Magi-Tech! It's impossible! Don't do that!''

''- Wataru: He is right! Don't do that! You're going to kill yourself! The electricity in your body will kill you before the laser hit you! This is suicide!''

Tomas looked at this team.



- Tomas: I know that, Captain Wataru.

- Wataru: Then why?!

"..................."

Tomas clenched his fists.

''- Tomas: Do you know why I fight the KnightWalkers? 20 years ago, my hometown in England was invaded by Juria KnightWalker's Forces. The survivors fled to shelters. But days later, the KnightWalkers found out where we were in and shot all of us without without negotiation and warning. My parents threw themselves on top of me to protect me from the bullets. They made themselves as human shield to save me. I do not hold a grudge for KnightWalkers, I fight to prevent this from happening to others children. But this is not easy, Captain Wataru. I still cause suffering with my actions. Women were widowed by my decision, children grew up without a father because of me. That's why I want enough power to save people fighting beside me and people we must protect. Do not try to stop me. If can't stop this laser then I'm a failure.''

".............."



''Wataru was doubting the words of this man just a few seconds ago, but he finally understood what Tomas was trying to do. He was putting himself in test.''

''- Wataru: Understood. If I try to stop you now then I'm a failure too. ''

- GDP Magicians: Captain!

Wataru and Tomas ignored the soldiers.

''- Wataru: Go, Tomas! Prove yourself as a man!''

Tomas smiled behind his helmet.

- Tomas: Thanks, Captain Wataru.

''Tomas activated his Flying Magi-Tech CAD in his belt and flew towards the laser above the city. Wataru and the soldiers looked at Tomas flying away.''



- GDP Magician: Sir! Why did you let him go?!

Wataru responded his question without changing his sight.

"..................."

''- Wataru: This has nothing to do with orders. This is morality. I let him go because this is something that Tomas need to do to continue living. He would hate himself if he ignore a challenge like that. This is his pride. We must leave it to him, then he will feel proud of himself.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10.000 meters above LC 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 50 seconds later 



''At speed of sound, Tomas flew through the skies of Liberty City. Tomas shook his hands and bit his teeth as he felt the unbearable pain of having a lot of electrical energy within his body. Tomas stopped flying and was facing the huge Hlokaust Cannon's laser. The laser was going down at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, however, Tomas stopped 3 kilometers away from the laser.''

''- Tomas: COME! MAHESVARA SPIRIT!''

''Tomas yelled at himself, after he said that, a powerful electric discharge came out of his body. The light from the electric discharge was so bright that the sky that was dark with the darkness of the night became white as if it were day.''

In many differents points of the city, countless KFP and GDP soldiers cheered Tomas.

- Eugen (Chronos Chopper): Go, Tomas!

- Cassie (Chronos Chopper): GO FOR IT!

''- Roy (Chronos Chopper): Put all your fierce spirit out! Commander!''

- X-23: Show them what the 79th Division is made of!

- Wataru (LC Docks): GO!

- Kyouhei (KFP Base): Finish them, Mahesvara!

''- Jellal (Washi District): That's it! Tomas!''

- Sanada (GDP Base - Chinatown): Show them the might of the Global Pact Defense, Tomas!

- Pike (GDP Base - Chinatown): Save this country, Tomas!



''- Vladimir (KnightWalker Cruiser): Mahesvara... He is real...''

''Tomas let out a roar and charged at the Hlokaust Cannon laser. Tomas activated his Eletrecity aura with clenched fists. Tomas used his fists to stop the laser as if he were giving a punch.''

- Tomas: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

''Tomas gave an extremely loud scream while holding the laser with fists. The laser stopped its route and was in conflict with Tomas. The whole city saw a blue light in conflict with the laser that was approaching. Since Tomas interrupted the laser's route, the color of the laser stopped changing and was dark red, giving a sense that people were seeing a battle between good and evil.''

- Tomas: GO BACK!!!!!!!

Tomas felt his bones crashing and his skin burning but that was not enough to stop him from holding the laser in the same position.

In the Hands of Apocalypse Satellite, the crew noticed that the Hlokaust laser was stopping its route.



''- Hand of Apocalypse Worker 1: Lord Misogi! Something is holding the laser!''

''- Misogi: No... It's not a "thing". It's a person.''

''- Hand of Apocalypse Workers: What?! ''

''- Hand of Apocalypse Worker 2: This is impossible! Not even Uryuu Ryounnusuke and Eckidina KnightWalker can hold the power of this Satellite!''

''- Misogi: Mahesvara... INCREASE THE POWER!''

- Hand of Apocalypse Workers: YES, SIR!

As Misogi ordered, the workers and the pilots of the Satellite began to raise levers and buttons on the control panels in front of them.

In Liberty City, Tomas felt that the laser started to come with more force and pressure than before.

- Tomas: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

''Tomas's left arm broke but he continued holding the laser with both arms. Tomas decided to activate his most deadly skill that could kill him.''

- Tomas: 'Do not underestimate me!! To this day I've dealt with many tragedies!! I lost many friends!! I carry the lives of all these people!! In any circumstances, I will disappoint them!! "MAHESVARA DEVIL!!" '



''Tomas activated the " Mahesvara Devil"  skill. It's prohibited Magi-Tech located at the heart, requires the user to puncture their chest just above the heart in order to open it. Once opened, the user will enter what's known as the Eight Gates Released Formation. Opening this gate will cause the user's spirit to emanate a flaming aura of blue steam from all pores of their body, hair, and eyebrows. Releasing this gate uses up all of the body's energy while making the heart pump at maximum power. Exceeding the power of every other gate, the user is temporarily granted approximately a hundred times their normal power, far beyond that of the Horsemen of John Cyborgs from KnightWalker Family. Unfortunately, the side effect of opening this gate is that it comes at the expense of the user's life, causing the user to crumble to ash after their energy runs out, having virtually cooked themselves from the inside-out. This is unlike opening the other gates, which simply injure or damage the body.''



''Tomas' body underwent for several changes after he activated that ability. His muscles grew, his skin turned red, claws appeared in their hands, and worst of all is that Tomas was feeling the pain of the transformation, the pain of laser's pressure and pain of his body being destroyed gradually. In that form, Tomas was looking more like a demon than a human now. ''

- Tomas: [AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!]

Tomas was not holding the laser anymore, he was pushing the laser back with own hands.

The crew of the Hand of Apocalypse noticed that and reported it to Misogi.

''- KnightWalker Worker 1: Captain Misogi! The Hlokaust Cannon is being pushed back!!''

Misogi's eyes widened.

''- Misogi: How... This is impossible! That's a bullcrap!''

''Tomas was pushing the laser back to the satellite faster when the laser was going in the direction of Liberty City. He was pushing the laser back at 2,000 kilometers per hour. The controls on the satellite began to destroy by itself because of pressure coming from below.''

- KnightWalker Worker 2: The controls...!



- Misogi: Damn you, Mahesvara!

''The laser was finally some kilometers away from the satellite. The officers saw that.''

- KnightWalker Worker 3: We have Escape Pods?

- KnightWalker Worker 4: No...

- KnightWalker Worker 5: Fuck...

''Tomas let out a roar and yelled at Misogi from outside of the satellite. Tomas concentrated all his magi-tech in his throat in order to break the physical laws of space.''

- Tomas: ['AND DO NOT DARE LAY A FINGER ON MY HOME AND MY FRIENDS AGAIN! KNIGHTWALKERS']

Misogi yelled at Tomas from inside of the satellite.



- Misogi: 'THIS IS NOT THE END! ECKIDINA WILL DESTROY THIS PIECE OF SHIT COUNTRY! WE WILL FUCK EVERY SINGLE WOMAN AND CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTRY AGA'---

''Before Misogi could finish his evil words, Tomas pushed the Hlkaust Cannon's laser back to the Hand of Apocalypse, the laser exploded te ship from inside, generating a level of nuclear explosion. The explosion was so huge that the entire Western of the planet saw that explosion. It was like the sun was near Earth but smaller.''

The Hand of Apocalypse, also know as the most deadly weapon created by humans, was finally destroyed.

Part 4
<p style="text-align:center;"> ​Meanwhile in Vice City

<p style="text-align:center;"> Minister of Defense HQ 



''The battle had come to a definitive end. Liberty City would be gradually free from the invaders, however, there were still small KnightWalker and All Joker resistances who continued resisting in the city. This war was generated by two people:  Eckidina KnightWalker  and  Minister of Defense John Baccus. Eckidina KnightWalker bribed John in order to make him send the LCPD to kill Kyouhei Kannazuki, however, the operation was a failure and Eckidina decided to invade LC with brutality.''

''Every bribe has a price to pay, and Eckidina promised the Ministers that she would turn him into a Cyborg. Not only him but all the Ministers who work under his thumb. John and the other Ministers did not think twice and agree with it. Throughout the war, John and his subordinates watched the battle. Some Ministers there were not used to see such violence and vomited. Others were beginning to show remorse for what they did and thought about killing themselves right there, John, however was the only Minister who did not show any empathy for the civilians. In fact, he was insanely smiling the whole battle, some thought the Minister was actually some kind of sadist.''



''The atmosphere in the Minister's Conference Room was heavy and dark. Every single Minister there was looking at John. They were afraid of his "psychotic" character. ''

''Moreover, there was no reason to smile. The LCPD Operation and the invasion of LC were a failure. With the defeat of KnightWalker Family, John and the others will not become Cyborgs as Eckidina promised.''

''- John: Fufufufufufufufu.... This is hilarious!''

- Minister 1: Minister John?

''- John: We failed... Fufufufu!''

''- Minister 2: Minister John! Let's run away!''

''- Minister 3: He is right! With the defeat of KnightWalker Family, they are going to notice our office is involved in this war!''



- Minister 4: We are going to be executed for treason and war crimes!

''- Minister 5: We can go to Paris in France! The country is under the control of the KnightWalker Family, so we can stay there without problem!''

''- Minister 6: I agree. As long we stay out of USA and its allied nations, we can escape our trial! We are going to join the KnightWalker Family!''

''- Minister 7: Yes! Our cars and the main plane are ready! Let's go! The GDP probably knows about ou---''

''- (???): There is no need to worry. We are already here.''

- All Ministers: !!!!!!!!!!!



''All Minister looked at the door. A female voice came outside of the room, few seconds later the door opened, revealing a woman with long black hair and green eyes. She is probably between 21 and 22 years old.''

- Minister 2: Damn you!

- Minister 3: It's too late!

John saw that girl and yelled at her.

''- John: This uniform... It's from Moon Terminator Company from KnightWalker Funeral Parlor! Who are you?!''

''- (???): My name is Shigure Yukimi. I'm the 2nd Commander of Moon Terminator Company from the 2nd KFP Army of America. I work as the secretary of Jellal Fernandes.''

''- John: Why the Moon Terminator Company is here?! That doesn't make any sense!''

- Shigure: Minister of Defense John Baccus, we already knew you were the one sent the LCPD and NOOSE to kill Kyouhei Kannazuki.

''- John: Huh? ''

''- Shigure: The KFP tortured the leaders of LCPD. They said you ordered them to kill Kyouhei Kannazuki and Killer Frost at the Committe of Civilization Building. You also sent Junior Gordon to finish the task. When Jellal Fernandes left Los Santos and went to Liberty City, I was already making my move to capture you in Vice City.''

- John: Eh?!

''- Shigure: Are you surprised? Don't underestimate our intelligence. THe MTC has satellites that allows us to spy every single corner on this planet.''

- Minister 2: You little bitch!

Shigure's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scenes from LOTM: Sword of Kings: Rise of the Blue Haired Heroine - Battle of Hearts 

<p style="text-align:center;"> United States - San Andreas 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Los Santos 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Peace's Peak Academy 



''The person Kyouhei was talking about is in Los Santos, his name is Jellal Fernandes. After First High's presentation ended at Peace's Peak Academy, Jellal struck up an idle conversation with a female KFP Commander in the main hall -- they had been together since the morning, so they were almost running out of topics -- when suddenly his brow twitched and he broke off. The terminal reserved for messaging (a security device with no data storage capabilities and was strictly reserved for powerful signal broadcast) in his breast pocket was vibrating. Sending an apologetic look towards the female KFP Commander, he turned around to pick up the phone.''

''- Jellal: This is Jellal. Ora! It's you Kyouhei? What?! Understood, I'm on my way!''

General Jellal turned around to find a female KFP Commander also finishing her phone call.



- Jellal: Did you receive this call too?

The female KFP commander nodded her head.

''- KFP Commander: Yes, I received a call from our forces in Liberty City. The KnightWalker Family is attacking Liberty City! That means USA will finally declare war to KnightWalker Family!''

- Jellal: I need to head to the scene.

''- KFP Commander: I will remain here. I'll prepare our forces in case the KnightWalkers invade Los Santos. You go to Liberty City with your Army and rescue Kyouhei Kannazuki. Our mission to send Kyouhei Kannazuki to Japan, Tokyo.''



''Neither of them asked who was the person who called them. Putting their faith that they were on accord, there was no feeling of incompatibility.''

''- Jellal: Sorry! Contact me later if anything comes up.''

''The KFP Commander nodded and didn't waste her breath as Jellal fairly flew towards his car with magi-tech fueling his sprint. His feet appeared to be moving faster. A few moments later, Jellal drove his car away from the academy and drove through Vinewood's streets.''

Nowdays


Back at the Minister's room, John started to cry again.

''- Shigure: Minister of Defense John Baccus, you committed treason. You tried to kill the Former Leader of KnightWalker Funeral Parlor, Kyouhei Kannazuki and you betrayed your our country. You also is one of responsible for the Liberty City invasion. No matter who you are, the Justice will see you as a KnightWalker Spy.''

(- Narrator: Killer Frost is the new Leader now).

- Minister 1: What the hell the guards of this building are doing?!

Shigure smiled and replied.



''- Shigure: If you're talking about the 30 guards of this building, I killed them all. But I spared the employees. I killed them in the most painful way as possible for helping a traitor.''

- Minister 2: Monster...

''Shigure laughed. That melancholic girl was laughing like some type of serial killer.''

''- Shigure: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Monster? Me? No. This is how we are.''

- Minister 3: "We?"

''- Shigure: We, members from Moon Terminator Company are trained to bring misery and pain on our enemies. We are trained for this so we can be feared by everyone. Our murderous behavior also serve to prevent any corrupt or traitor join our army. This is how we keep our army clean from traitors. Through fear, you can win many things.''

John was thinking about his situation be noticed he has advantage over the girl in front of him.



''- John: What are you planning to do? Arrest us? We have money so we can leave many times as we want! You want to kill us?! The USA and GDP are going to kill you all!''

''- Shigure: Actually... The GDP and the President agree with our decision.''

Everyone there let out a scared voice.

- All Ministers: What?!

''John's expression changed to panic. He immediately jumped from his chair.''

''- John: IMPOSSIBLE! YOU'RE LYING! THE GOVERNMENT WOULD NEVER APPROVE IT!''

''- Shigure: The Moon Terminator Company shows suffering to our targets with actions and not words. If I was lying I would not be here.''



John and the Ministers gasped.

- Shigure: Well then...

''Shigure raised her arms as if she were holding something with her fingers. In fact, she was holding something, it was 10 lines moored to her fingers. John and the Minister felt their members being tied by something. There were 9 Ministers there, so Shigure put a line on each Minister.''

''- John: My body... is being tied by something...''

- Minister 1: What the hell?

Shigure smiled.



''- Shigure: You know, I'm a member from MTC. All officers of MTC has a Artificial Demon Weapon. This is my AD Weapon,  Taros .''

''- John: Artificial Demon Weapon... I forgot about that... But when...''

''- Shigure: From the beginning. At the moment I entered in this room, I already sent my spiritual line in all of you. I just materialized my line.''

- John: Don't you dare...

''- Shigure: Funny... The USA considers KnightWalkers so viles that not even a traitor goes to Court Martial. They let us kill you all here and now without trial or human rights. Well, this is how KnightWalkers should be treated.''

- Minister 4: Stop it!



''- Minister 5: We can pay!! Think about it!!''

- John: D-Damn you!

''- Shigure: For a better world... DIE.''

''Just like that, Shigure raised her arms. The ropes that were tied up in the bodies of Ministers possessed blades, so when Shigure made that action, the line cut through the bodies of nine Ministers. The bodies of all Ministers were cut into dozens of pieces. A room that was a particular conference room, quickly became a painting of hell. Liters of blood painted white walls of the room as the floor became a hellish pond of blood.''

''That was the true face of the Moon Terminator Company, no wonder they are called "demons". Moreover, the word "Terminator" in the corporation's name is not for nothing. As Shigure said, members of the MTC are trained to be cold-blooded killers, they know that killing their enemies in cruel ways are not acts of kindness, however, they are willing to threw their humanity away to become true monsters for the greater good. The not peace cannot be achieved through the peaceful ways, so the goal of MTC is to cause the maximum casualties on the side of the enemy so that they are feared. If you want to see them as heroes, it depends on you.''

''After that, Shigure left the room without changing her expression. There was nobody in the building, all employees ran away and all guards were dead, Shigure was the only living person in there.''



- Shigure: Mission Complete.

''Shigure said that while she was walking throught the long hallway of the building. While she was walking, she stopped in front of a window and saw space fireworks. It was not exactly, fireworks, it was the parts of the Hand of Apocalypse Satellite that were spread around the world after Tomas destroyed the satellite. Shigure noticed that thousands of people across the city were looking at the sky too.''

- Shigure: Beautiful...

<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later 



''Everyone in the planet saw the explosion of the satellite in space. The explosion quickly turned fireworks as if the Earth were also celebrating thia magnificent victory. The satellite's debris were falling in the waters of the pacific and atlantic ocean. Fortunately no wreckage fell on land, if some of these wrecks would fall in some country, it would generate more victims.''

''Countless happiness cries echoed through the city. Mourners of civilians who had their families killed in the war and cheers of soldiers who fought bravely were heard throughout the city. The rest of the world did not know what was going on but the population of LC knew it was one of the most magnificent moments of the history The KnightWalkers who survived fled using boats and last enemy drones were disabled. The Liberty City War was officially over. ''

''Wataru and his soldiers stayed in the same place they were before. Wataru and his men celebrated the victory. Not only them, Eugen, Marcus, Logan, X-23, Roy, Cryska, Jellal, Kyouhei, Tarma, Takeshi, Frost, Cassie, Sanada, Pike and Harbour Island crew celebrated this epic moment. ''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Jellal Location 



''Jellal was standing in the same place where he fought Cavalo De Troia. Jellal got in his knees and cried.''

''- Jellal: For 1000 years, the humanity saw the KnightWalkers win. Everyone died... with purpose.''

Jellal pointed his finger at the sky and shot a blue light beam.

''- Jellal: For the first time in 1000 years... Humanity defeated the KnightWalkers.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Funeral Parlor Base 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later 



''Several sounds of gunfire could be heard around the base. But those shots were not of bloody battles, but shots of victory. The soldiers began to shoot up as they screamed and hugged each other in happiness. That scene made Killer Frost deeply happy in her cold heart, it was the first time she saw the soldiers who suffered so much in many battles celebrating. In fact, no one knew this day would come, for years the KnightWalkers crushed the GDP and KFP, that was the first victory of humanity against the KnightWalker Family in 1000 years. That moment was not an simple victory, it was one of the most important moments in human history, a moment that would be remembered for millennia.''

''- Kyouhei: We did it. Nice work, Tomas!''

Kyouhei looked up and saw the beautiful fireworks.

- Kyouhei: Our hero was born today.

''Kyouhei looked around and saw a blue light beam coming towards the sky. He immediately I knew who shot that laser beam.''

''- Kyouhei: Thank goddess! You're okay, Jellal.''



''That light beam was Jellal's signal. Killer Frost approached Kyouhei.''

- Frost: We did it!

Kyouhei returned to his normal personality after she said that.

''- Kyouhei: I really want to kiss you now but this would be too cliche. This happens in all movies and animes.''

"..........."

- Frost: I don't mind.



Kyouhei's eyes widened.

- Kyouhei: Really?!

''- Frost: I was joking. Idiot. I'll tell when I let you do that. Kyouhei's surprise changed to shame but he really happy the woman he loves said that.''

''- Kyouhei: Ha-Ha. Thanks, Caitlin.... Wait a second...''

- Frost: What is the problem?

Kyouhei looked up again and remembered something very important.



''- Kyouhei: TOMAS! WHERE IS HE?!''

''Killer Frost also remembered Tomas, she was scared that the person who saved America could have sacrificed himself country but Tomas is a Magician from GDP, he is a tough guy. Kyouhei looked at Killer Frost in despair and asked her to do a favor.''

- Kyouhei: Frost!

- Frost: Y-Yes?

''- Kyouhei: Use your magi-tech to find Tomas! Please!''

''Without question or answer, Frost did what Kyouhei commanded. Immediately, Frost closed her eyes and put her hands in front of her face as if she was doing a ninja symbol. Frost focused her energy in her brain and ignored everyone around her. Seconds later, Frost quickly opened her eyes.''



- Frost: !!!

- Kyouhei: Where is he?!

''Frost pointed her finger to a fire falling from the sky. It was Tomas falling from space. However, the fire was falling towards the ocean, it was 50 kilometers away from Liberty City.''

''- Kyouhei: Tomas! Dammit! He too far away!''

Kyouhei fell to the ground.

However...

''- Frost: Kyouhei... What's that?''

- Kyouhei: Huh?



''Kyouhei looked up and saw a huge purple energy flying towards Tomas in the opposite position. From that angle, it seemed that Tomas would clash with that purple energy.''

''- Kyouhei: What the hell? KnightWalkers?''

''- Frost: No... This is...!''

''The purple laser that going towards Tomas' position quickly made an evasive maneuver to the right and went right inside of the fireball that Tomas was inside. Once the purple energy passed through the fireball, the fire that was falling from the sky disappeared. The purple energy then headed to LC, to be more precise, the energy was going directly to KFP Base where Kyouhei and Frost were.''



- Kyouhei: What the---

''Kyouhei stopped his words when the purple energy arrived at their location. A strong wind came from the purple energy, forcing Frost, Kyouhei and the KFP soldiers to cover their eyes.''

''After a few seconds, the purple energy vanished, revealing a person in some type of combat armor. The unknown soldier was probably a womand and was carrying Tomas in her arms. The unknown soldier put Tomas on the ground with kindness and looked at Kyouhei.''

- KFP Soldier: KnightWalker!



''Hearing the words of the KFP Soldier, 100 men pointed their guns at the unknown figure. That was the obvious reaction to do, because there was an unknown soldier in front of them covered in blood. Kyouhei and Frost, however, were calm and asked who was that person.''

- Kyouhei: Who are you?

Frost prepared to attack.

''- Unknown Soldier: Hum. Hum. You thought it was a KnightWalker....... BUT IT WAS ME, KOURIN!''



''The armor of the unknown female soldier started to vanish in blue particles. Few moments later, the identity of the soldier was revealed, it was Kourin, the person who was commanding Jellal's army during the invasion to take back LC.''

Frost stopped her hands after she saw Kourin.

- Frost: Kourin!

''- Kyouhei: Kourin! I'm glad you're okay!''

''All KFP Soldiers lowered their weapons and greeted Kourin. She is quite popular among the organization's men. Kyouhei, Frost and some soldiers of KFP changed their sights to Tomas on the ground. He was unconscious. Kyouhei approach Tomas.''

- Kyouhei: He is okay?

''- Kourin: Yep, I confirmed. He is just unconscious. But I really have to say, this guy is really tough. He survived that explosion without injuries. As expected from GDP Magicians.''

Kyouhei and Frost smiled as the KFP Soldier take Tomas away and sent him to the KFP Hospital.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Bryin Docks 



''Kyouhei was not the only person who noticed that Tomas was missing after the explosion. Wataru and his men also realized that they lost contact with Tomas. Pike and Sanada tried to also locate Tomas in space after explosion, however, he could not be found by the Magic Radar. The Magic Radars were made to locate soldiers with magi-tech inside their bodies anywhere in the world, however, Tomas used all magi-tech to prevent the laser to destroy the United States.''

''Millions of soldiers who were fighting in LC knew who isTomas, especially the Magicians from GDP who fought with him in many battles, so there were numerous calls and requests for the central GDP. Everyone had only one request: "Find and Save Tomas". What showed that everyone were concerned with him.''

''After Wataru contacted the KFP, he received the news that Tomas was okay and was sent to KFP Hospital. Wataru was talking with a KFP Officer on the other side of the call.''



''- Wataru: I see. Thanks for your attention.''

Wataru turned off the radio in his ear and looked at the GDP Magicians in front of him.

''- Wataru: Good news. Tomas is all right. He is unconscious but he does not have any injuries. However, he needs medical treatment.''

''The GDP Magicians let out sighs of relief. They had celebrated the victory so they were tired.''

- GDP Magician 1: So, it's over now.



- Wataru: No, not yet.

- All Magicians: Huh?

''- Wataru: The enemy vessel that escaped. We can't let that bastards escape after what they did.''

''He must have managed to organize his thoughts while receiving the message of Sanada few minutes ago, but this time there was no hesitation in his voice. ''

''Soldiers using the Mobile Suits to achieve flight were excellent for blitzing the enemy headquarters or launching surprise attacks on the enemy rear, but they were ill suited for combat situations like cleanup that required massive manpower and time. In addition, even though they raised efficiency by gathering the elite troops for this, prolonged use of magic would still lead to exhaustion. Wataru gave the order for his troops to Return To the Base.''

''- Wataru: Tomas completed his task. It's my turn now. Let's go! Return to the Base!''

''After he said that, Wataru activated his Magi-Tech CAD and flew away. His men followed him as well. They headed to GDP Building.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Global Pact Defense Building 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 4 minutes later 



After handing command of his battalion, Christopher Pike led Captain Sanada and Wataru to the roof of the GDP Building in Bay Hills Tower.

''The cleanup process (sweeping out the last of the enemy remnants and returning the combat zone to a non-combat zone) was largely finished. Although there were scattered flashes and gunfire dotted across the landscape, everything should fall silent by nightfall. In regards to the collapsed tunnel and the subsequently buried underground shelter, initial estimates believed they would be able to open a route to the shelter tomorrow.''

The people in that shelter were actually in a more comfortable environment than the ones living in temporary shelters erected on the surface.



Right now, the time was 6:50 in the evening.

Dusk -- the hour of the devil.

- Sanada: Enemy vessel is at Sagaminada and heading south at 30 knots.

Captain Sanada reviewed the portable observation device she carried and reported this to Pike and Wataru.

''- Pike: That's in the middle ground between Oshima and the Boso Peninsula. There will be no problems if we sink it there.''

Nodding at Sanada's words, Pike talked with Sanada.

- Pike: Release the seal on Third Eye.



- Sanada: Understood.

''Receiving the key card from Pike's hands, Sanada unlocked the seal on the large case next to her with a rather incautious, even delighted, expression. This was a case hastily shipped to them from the headquarters in Los Santos.''

The complex lock consisted of a card key, blood pattern verification, password, and voice-print verification.

- Sanada: Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.

"[ Password Confirmed ]"



''The vocal response was originally unnecessary but happened to be one of Sanada's hobbies, despite the fact that this seal was no joke at all. Inside, there was a large rifle-shaped Specialized CAD. Sanada personally removed that CAD, "Third Eye", and handed it to Wataru, who was still decked out in the Mobile Suit with his helmet on.''

''Wataru pulled out the cord from the gun stock and connected it to his right wrist. The connection would run through the lines in the interior of the Mobile Suit and link directly to the helmet.''

- Pike: Special Captain Shiruz.



Pike called out Wataru's military alias.

- Pike: Activate Material Burst and sink the All Joker vessel.

- Wataru: Yes, sir.

''A trace of anxiety was mixed within Wataru's voice. Although the last time he used "Material Burst" was in combat 3 years ago, the success of the magi-tech itself was not in question. That anxiety came from his eagerness to give it another go. Wataru turned to face the south and set the rifle stock against his shoulder. ''

- Sanada: Establishing connection with observation camera in the stratosphere.



''Keeping an eye on the observation device in the shape of a notepad, Sanada reported to Pike. There was no need to inform Wataru. That was because an image from the connection appeared on Wataru's visor -- the infrared image of the enemy vessel. A platform equipped with cameras to watch the national border that was in the stratosphere over United States sent the image through Third Eye's antennae.''

''Using the same image that Sanada saw to verify the target, Wataru began to search for the enemy vessel's external status from the information dimension. There were countless water droplets covering the hull. Among them, he selected the water droplet clinging to the deck that was directly above the hydrazine fuel canister. The camera's magnification was unable to identify each individual droplet, so he used Third Eye's remote precision targeting auxiliary system and finished aiming by visually perceiving the information.''

- Wataru: Material Burst, activate.

Wataru murmured and squeezed the trigger.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile at the All Joker Vessel 



The enemy vessel traveling south from Sagaminada was lulled into a sense of security.

- All Joker Pilot 1: As expected, the American military did not attempt to pursue.

''- All Joker Captain: Hmph...... Those guys don't have the balls.''

- All Joker Pilot 1: Because they're afraid of a hydrazine spill?

''- All Joker Captain: It's the same thing. They could only watch as the enemy retreated to safety because they're still stuck on hypocrisy like environmentalism.''



''Surely soldiers from any country would resist adopting a defeatist mentality. While they believed that they were still being observed by artificial satellites or platforms in the stratosphere, they had faith that they were no longer in danger of further attack.''

''This didn't exactly constitute carelessness on their part. Generally speaking, if something were to happen then the attack would have happened by now. At the very least, there should be pursuit from naval ships or aircraft.''

''- All Joker Captain: ...... Remember, we will avenge this humiliation in spades.''

''- All Joker Pilot 2: We can do this forever. However, if the Harbour Island still working, then our invasion is going to the public. The world will turn against us. Juria KnightWalker is going to punish Vladimir Makarov for sure.''

- All Joker Pilot 3: You don't want Eckidina to punish us.



''- All Joker Captain: Like I care, that stupid Human Rights can do nothing but cry for peace using peaceful ways. We are okay, Makarov is going to be punished since he was the commander of the invasion. Luckly, we will survive after this war.''

''More than one or two officers present had already taken a fresh assault for granted and vowed vengeance. Right now, they were just about to pass east of Oshima. Abruptly, the alarm klaxons wailed. That was the alarm for fluctuations in psion waves, indicating that they were being targeted by a CAD's auxiliary targeting system.''

- All Joker Captain: What's going on?!

- All Joker Pilot 1: Enem---!



''The captain of the vessel must be calling for a sitrep. That was only natural, given that there wasn't even a hint of the enemy within a 10 km radius. Yet, the captain of the camouflaged vessel wasn't even able to finish that short sentence.''

- All Joker Pilot 2: What the---

''A scorching ball of light manifested on deck. Shock waves were created because the air was rapidly being heated and the deck melted to create a flow of metallic steam, instantaneously setting alight anything flammable, which included the hydrazine, as the colossal fireball devoured the entire vessel.''

''The last enemy ship was sunk. All KnightWalkers aircraft carriers and battleships around the LC were destroyed and sunk by the KnightWalker Funeral Parlor Navy.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile at Global Pact Defense Building 



The burning hell born of Material Burst could be verified on the rooftops of the GDP Bay Hills Tower through the observation cameras from the stratosphere.

''The ultimate in Decomposition Magi-Tech, "Material Burst". Magi-Tech that could decompose matter into energy. This was not an annihilation reaction. Since this was directly decomposing matter down into energy, there was no loss of energy from the collision between electrons and positrons that would be seen in annihilation reactions. Based on Einstein's Formula, the energy created was mass multiplied by the speed of light squared.''

''The energy released from one drop of water, a paltry 50 milligrams of matter, was equivalent to 1000 tons of TNT. That much heat energy was immediately released from the space that one drop of water occupied.''

''- Sanada: ...... Confirmed explosion at location of enemy vessel. Visual confirmation impossible due to the steam created by the explosion, but the ship is expected to be sunk.''



''- Wataru: Vessel confirmed to be sunk. Any danger of a tsunami?''

Wataru corrected his posture and inquired of Sanada as she was making her report from the observation device.

''- Sanada: Don't worry. There's no sign of a tsunami.''

- Wataru: How this is possible?

''- Sanada: We were able to hit a 50 mg drop of water from approximately 80 kilometers out...... 'Third Eye' has fulfilled its designed purpose.''

''Sanada gleefully reported. Pike silently nodded in regards to Sanada's report and congratulated Wataru.''



- Pike: Excellent work.

- Wataru: Yes, sir.

''Nodding in response to Wataru's salute, Pike announced the end to combat operations in LC. However...''

- Pike: I really wanted to say this is the end of this battle but we have another problem.

- Wataru: What problem?

- Pike: Harbour Island...



''Yes, Harbour Island. The war was over in Liberty City but the KnightWalkers were attacking the island to turn off the communication networks in the United States. That WAS the situation a few minutes ago -- with the defeat of KnightWalker Family in Liberty City, the enemy forces were retreating from Harbour Island.''

When Pike said that, Sanada's phone rang, she immediately read the message that had just arrived in her cellphone.



''- Sanada: We've received word from GHQ... The KnightWalker Family forces is now gathering in Zhengai Naval Port in Harbour Island! They're planning to retreat and leave the USA! We're being ordered to deal with them! They sent ships to collect all GDP groups around LC to take us to Geojedo Base!''

- Wataru: I'm not going to let them escape just like that.

''After Wataru said that, a unknown cargo ship approached the roof of the GDP Building, it was a VSA ship, they came to take them to Geojedo Base. It happened so fast that Wataru felt as if he was in a movie.''

''- Pike: Our transport is here! Let's go!''

<p style="text-align:center;"> United States 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Geojedo Base Island 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 20 minutes later 



''20 minutes passed since Wataru, Pike and Sanada entered in the VSA ship and headed to Geojedo Base. Right now, he had arrived at Geojedo Base. During the Second World War in 1942, which was the tumultuous period where countless wars broke out over a 5 year period, this island was attacked by the KnightWalker Family's autonomous regional forces from Cuba and 70% of the residents were massacred.''

''The reason was that they didn't want to provide any reason to antagonize their neighbors, leading to a situation where an island on the national border was bereft of even the minimal garrison troops. The Cuba Army also had their reasons. Simply put, that was just how those times were. Regardless, 70% of the residents were lost, the 20% that fled incurred injuries both severe and light, with the remaining 10% of the residents captured. The simple fact of that matter was that the island had been captured. After reclaiming Geojedo, the American government converted this island into a fortress.''



This was a front line base with large scale military harbors and solid walls, complete with cutting edge anti-aircraft and anti-ship weaponry.

This was Geojedo Base.

''Wataru and others GDP officers arrived in front of the base and walked towards the entrance. In front of the entrance, there was a High-Officer from VSA waiting for them.''

''- VSA Officer: Special Captain Wataru, please come to the War Room. ''

''From the entrance, Wataru went to the interior of the base. He watched one side of the sea where traces of the American Peninsula could be seen.''



- Pike: You're here.

''Seeing Wataru enter the room still decked out in the Mobile Suit with the helmet down and salute, Pike returned the salute and gestured for him to take a seat. Although several individuals looked askance at him wearing the pitch black combat uniform with the helmet and visor down, Wataru didn't care in the slightest and sat in a chair near the corner of the War Room. ''

Slightly behind Wataru, Sanada appeared.

- Pike: As expected.

Once everyone was gathered, Pike started speaking without any forewarning.



''- Pike: The enemy fleet is preparing to retreat. Please examine this image.''

''A large display screen that took up an entire wall lit up and displayed photos that must have been taken from satellites. There were ten large vessels with two times as many destroyers and torpedo boats making preparations to retreat from Harbour Island. That ships are the KnightWalkers Vessels that invaded Harbour Island during the LC Invasion.''

''- Pike: This photograph was taken 5 minutes ago. Based on this estimate, the enemy will retreat two hours from now at the latest. Based on the scale of mobilization, rather than retreat at once, their aim appears to be retreat to Mexico bay to launch a new attack in the future. The enemy forces will try another invasion.''

- GDP Lieutenant: Are they actually planning on going to war?

''Hearing Pike's words, one of the young lieutenants piped up. Based on his age, he must have recently been transferred to this installation.''

''- Sanada: I do believe they've always been at war with us since 10 years ago. The GDP and VSA fought the KnightWalker Family after the destruction of Fiore Kingdom 16 years ago. But the war ended 6 years after because the KnightWalker Family had the best weapons.''

''The slightly mocking reply came from Sanada and not Pike. Flushed red with shame, the lieutenant who asked the question quickly backed down.''

''- Pike: My apologies. My subordinates are lacking in decorum.''

At the very least, he should allow the other side to save face.



''- Pike: Still, the conclusion is just as the Supreme Commander from KFP, Kyouhei Kannazuki, said. Forget a peace treaty, there wasn't even a ceasefire negotiated between our country and the KnightWalker Family. Seeing that there is no message detailing their fleet mobilization, it would be safe to assume that they are preparing for an offensive against our country in the near future. ''

''Pike once more supplied additional details. According to international convention, large scale naval mobilizations that were for non-military purposes required notification for countries within the navigation range. During an armistice, or simply when both sides stopped fighting, any undisclosed naval mobilization with unclear motivations could be interpreted as one country preparing to commence hostilities once more.''

The atmosphere in the conference room grew tense.

''- Pike: While the enemy has already finished mobilizing their fleet, regrettably, our navy only started mobilizing yesterday. Right now, we are forced to use land or air-based power to hold off the enemy's naval forces.''

The atmosphere grew heavier.

- Pike: A tough battle is inevitable.



No one could muster a response.

''- Pike: ​Thus, in order to break through the current situation, the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion will deploy Strategic-Class magi-tech weaponry. This combat operation has already been approved by the Joint Chiefs, American Government, KnightWalker Funeral Parlor Council, Global Pact Defense Presidents, VSA Ministers, ISA Leaders, UN Forces, ONU Staff Council and Moon Terminator Company General Council.''

''So many organizations approved this "inhuman" operation that Wataru thought he was dreaming. Many organizations approved a operation that would destroy 5% of the Harbour Island only to destroy the enemy fleet, showing how humans consider KnightWalkers as "monsters".''

The personnel from the base examined Pike with curious and expectant gazes.



''- Pike: In addition, please allow my unit to requisition the First Observation Room. Furthermore, under the assumption that the attack is successful, then at the same time......''

''Pike's explanation continued. However, Wataru felt that there was no need for him to continue listening in. His mission was to commence the attack as the 'Strategic-Class magi-tech weaponry', nothing more.''

''He had already reviewed the fortress's data en route. The First Observation Room was one of the facilities that used low altitude satellites to observe the enemy shores. Based on that fact alone, Wataru  understood what was being done there and what was required of him.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes later 



Just like a hour ago, Wataru was armored in the Mobile Suit, with "Third Eye" in hand, as he stood in the center of the First Observation Room.

''The screen before him rendered the images from the satellites into 3-D and allowed observation of the enemy formation from any angle. Based on Wataru's specifications, the current projection was from 100 meters out at 30 meters above sea level.''

- Sanada: Special Captain Shiruz, are you prepared?

Sanada asked.



''- Wataru: Preparations complete. Satellite link in good order.''

''Wataru used his helmet to modify his voice before replying to the orders. After he said that, the images in the screen changed to a KnightWalker battleship from above.''

- Pike: Material Burst, prepare to fire.

​Along with Kazama's voice, Wataru hefted "Third Eye".

On the central battleship, a flag fluttered in the wind on what must be the flagship.



Wataru took aim at that flag.

''Using the 3-D image from the satellite as a clue, he began to seek out the information body. The weight of the battle flag was approximately 1 kg. ''

''- Wataru: Preparations complete. Waiting for orders.''

He softly whispered.

Within the utter stillness of the room, that was more than enough.



- Pike: Material Burst, activate!

- Wataru: Material Burst, activating.

''Repeating Pike's order, Wataru pulled the trigger on Third Eye. From within Geojedo Base, across the strait, directly into Zhèngai Naval Port of Harbour Island that was 30,000 kilometers away.''

''Wataru's magi-tech transformed 1 kg of matter directly into energy. In accordance with Einstein's Formula, the heat energy equated to approximately 20,000,000 tons of TNT, it was half of the heat of a nuclear bomb.''

​The screen darkened.

''The excess light caused the safety features on the satellites to kick in. ''

Which was why they could not see the claws of hell tearing through the earth.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Harbour Island 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Zhèngai Naval Port

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Flagship



Inside the KnightWalker Flagship's bridge, the captains of KnightWalker Family Navy Force were talking about recent orders.

''- KnightWalker Captain 1: What now? Move to Mexico and wait for orders or go back to France?''

''- KnightWalker Captain 2: Eckidina said we should stay in Mexico and wait for her orders in the future. We're going to attack Texas and started a new invasion.''

''- KnightWalker Captain 1: How this is possible?! We can't control a country with such small naval force! Eckidina is trying to kill us!''

''- KnightWalker Captain 2: I agree with you, but I prefer to be arrest in USA than being tortured and executed by the KnightWalker Family. Let's surrender once the GDP find us in Mexico, this attack is useless.''

- KnightWalker Captain 1: I agree, there is no point in this war.

"........"



The Captains stayed in silence when a worker entered in the bridge in despair.

- KnightWalker Captain 2: What?!

''- KnightWalker Worker: Captain! A strong energy is abo--''

The KnightWalker Worker coudn't finish his words because a huge solar energy appeared above the bridge.

''On board the flagship moored at Zhèngai Naval Port, the sun suddenly appeared. This heat defied any other means of conveyance, not that anyone lived to pass this to future generations. High temperatures that ran off the charts evaporated the metal hull into metallic steam. The rapidly swelling air surpassed mach speed.''



''Amid the gushing infrared rays, shock waves, and metallic steam, the naval and port facilities vanished. Anything within the vicinity, be they man or object, was evaporated. People and objects slightly farther off either detonated or were burnt to ash.''

- KnightWalker Battleship No.2: *'The Flagship was sunk! A solar energy i'---!*

The radio was destroyed.

- KnightWalker Battleship No.3: *What's th---!*

The radio was destroyed.



- KnightWalker Vessel No.1: *Nuclear atta---!*

The radio was destroyed.

''- KnightWalker Vessel No.2: *Enemy attack! Fo---!*''

The radio was destroyed.

- KnightWalker Battleship No.4: *Tsunami!*

''- KnightWalker Vessel No.3: *Abandon ship! Aband---!*''

The radio was destroyed.

- KnightWalker Battleship No.4: *Dam---!*

''The radio was destroyed. One by one, the enemy ships were caught by the inferno.''



''​The surface of the ocean was roasted by the scorching temperatures, causing countless steam explosions. The resulting hurricane and tsunami swallowed Harbour Island on the opposite shore.''

''If not for Harbour Island serving as a levee, even GDP Base and Kyushu Base on the top of the mountains would have suffered the wrath of the tsunami. The destruction was not limited only to Zhèngai Naval Port. The shock waves struck the neighboring military facilities. Perhaps a blessing in disguise, there were no civilian cities near Zhènhai Naval Port. The GDP and KFP military were removed from the Island before the explosion.''

After the tyrannic inferno passed on, absolutely nothing remained.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Geojedo Base 

<p style="text-align:center;"> War Room 



Once satellite imaging was restored, everyone in Geojedo Base held their breath without exception.

''Some of the younger officers fled to the toilet to retch. No one could mock them for their weakness. Even members from the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion could not hide the paleness of their faces.''

For the first time, they beheld with their own eyes what Strategic-Class Magi-Tech truly meant.

- Pike: Enemy situation?

After Pike asked without changing his sight from the screen, Sanada frantically swept her eyes back to the observation device.



''- Sanada: Enemy fleet destroyed...... No, completely annihilated. Shall we attack the last enemy forces?''

''True, occupation would be a simple task now. There were still enemies on the island, they could not be evaluated in time before the explosion. However, Pike shook his head.''

''- Pike: No need. Cancel all subsequent procedures. This operation is over. Let the GDP Forces of the island finish them.''

''- Sanada: Roger that. All units, prepare to return!''

''At Pike's order, Sanada gave the order to retreat. Watary set Third Eye on the ground. Hidden beneath the helm, his eyes never wavered in the slightest.''

<p style="text-align:center;">' Pike: The Liberty City War is officially over. '

Part 5 (Final)
<p style="text-align:center;"> Eckidina KnightWalker's Cruiser

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10.000 kilometers above Pacific Ocean

<p style="text-align:center;"> Space

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later



''Fear... That was what was haunting the Eckidina KnightWalker Cruiser's bridge at that time.''

''Eckidina, the person that started all that war was sitting in her Commander Chair on the bridge of the ship. The bridge was a huge place surrounded by screens of computers. Everyone there were watching the war through monitors across the ship, even the guards watched the whole battle.''

''Eckidina was using HIV Drones to watch the battle, however, Tomas destroyed all drones a few hours ago. Eckidina simply sent more HIV drones to the skies of LC and Harbour Island and watched the battle, Eckidina knew the person who destroyed the drones was Mahesvara but she did not care about that.''



''After Eckidina fired the first shot of the Hlokaust Cannon, some officers killed themselves. That was not exaggeration, many officers there are not psychopaths like Eckidina, they're merely following orders. The first shot of the Hlokaust Cannon killed 2 millions people throughout the Liberty City, so there were officers on the ship that showed regret and committed suicide. 5 people committed suicide in Eckidina's ship but Eckidina don't care about it (if she does not care about 7,000,000 of her soldiers in Liberty City, 5 people are nothing for her) and ordered the ship's guards to throw their bodies out of the ship.''



''Reynare, Eckidina's secretary, was standing beside Eckidina watching the battle, however, when the Hand of Apocalypse Satellite was destroyed, everyone looked at Eckidina expecting a horrible thing to happen. Even Reynare was afraid at that point, if Eckidina was about to do something horrible there, Reynare would be killed for sure.''

''Some there were ready to run because the most powerful weapon of KnightWalker Family was destroyed, with the satellite destroyed, many countries would stand up against the KnightWalker Family and many wars around the world were going to happen. Moreover, Eckidina was the person who created the Hand of Apocalypse projects, for incredible as she may seem, Eckidina is a extremely intelligent person. She is not only an strategist but also a great developer of weapons and vehicles, most of the weapons of KnightWalker Family were called Eckidina. She is considered the intelligent teenage of the world.''



- Eckidina: Well, we lost.

- Everyone: !!!!!!!!!!!

''Everyone let out voices of surprise, Eckidina was not angry, she seemed... Satisfied... As if she did not care if her troops were massacred.''

''- Reynare: We lost Griffith, Tony Dracon, Cavalo De Troia and the entire All Joker Organization in this war. Are you sure we are going to let this pass?''

''- Eckidina: Yes, I don't care. After all, I enjoyed this battle. Since my plan to kill Kyouhei failed, I planned to launch this attack in Liberty City for some fun and relieve my stress. That was a good battle. I really enjoyed it...''

In other words, Eckidina was trying to destroy USA without reason, she was doing this fun like the GDP Commander in Harbour Island said before.



- Reynare: I see.

- Eckidina: But this is a problem...

One of the KnightWalkers on the bridge asked.

''- KnightWalker: What do you mean, Milady? ''

''Eckidina stood up from her chair and walked towards the main window in front of the bridge. That window showed the entire Earth.''

''- Eckidina: Hmm... Well, you see, since we lost this war, the  survivors of our army in LC will be captured and interrogated. They will be able to discover our secret weapons and our best projects who are saved for the future. And not only that, they can reveal the location of our bases and plans to our enemy.''

Reynare nodded.

- Reynare: Now that you said, this is right.



''- Eckidina: Eh, that should be enough. Luckly, I implanted chips in their brains.''

- Everyone: WH---!

Everyone let out scared voices.

''- Eckidina: What?... Oh, I forgot to say! I implanted chips in every single men of our forces before the invasion. It took me several days. You know, since our soldiers are actually slaves forced to fight for me, I thought they were going to give all my plans to my enemies without trouble if they were captured.''

- Reynare: What're you planning to do?

''- Eckidina: According to my Intel, there are 600,000 survivors of my military in LC and Harbour Island at this moment. There are many of them and the war is over, so they are useless now.''



''Eckidina said that while ignoring Reynare's question. Eckidina pulled a cellphone from her breast pocket and write a message on the mobile phone.''

''- Eckidina: Eh, that should be enough. " Thank you for everything ." There!''

''When Eckidina wrote that, an unknown program started to be downloaded to her cellphone. In the same minute, the download was finished and a message appeared.''

The message was saying: " Download Complete. Starting Program ."

- Eckidina: That should do.

Eckidina smiled like a cute anime girl.

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Liberty City 



''Unfortunately, the battle was still going on but in smaller guerrillas. Civilians were far from any battlefield and the fighting spirit of the enemy forces were over, however, some of them refused to surrender to the enemy. If they were captured by GDP or KFP, they would be executed anyway.''

''Half of All Jokers and KnightWalkers decided to surrender, leaving 300,000 enemies out there. The enemy forces were in large numbers but were still outnumbered compared to GDP and KFP. The KnightWalkers were lost, confused and disoriented, they were almost out of ammo and had no communication with the others divisions. The battalions of the enemy were composed of 15 soldiers, however, this number was crushed by KFP who owned 30 well-trained and armed soldiers in each battalion.''

- KFP Soldier 1: Watch your flanks!

- KFP Soldier 2: Mark your targets!



- KFP Soldier 3: Watch out for any civilian in the area!

In the KnightWalker side, they decided to retreat.

- KnightWalker Commander: R-RETREAT!

''- KnightWalker Trooper: We can join forces with the 82th Batallion! If we resist for some hours, we can escape from LC!''

''These soldiers, however, don't have plans to return to France, they knew that they would be executed. All the enemy soldiers who continue to fight are going to leave the KnightWalker Family and flee to Mexico, Brazil or Argentina that are neutral countries and don't have any link with this war. There, they could live a quiet life away from this insane war.''



The KnightWalkers and All Jokers started to retreat.

''- KFP Soldier 4: They're running! Don't let them escape!''

The KnightWalkers ran through the rubble of the buildings that were knocked down during the invasion.

- All Joker 1: These guys are insane!

- All Joker 2: Just keep running!

''- KnightWalker Trooper: Let's regroup and go to the docks. There must be some boat there. We can escape!''

''However, when the KnightWalker said that, a strong and acute noise echoed through their heads. The sound was so thin and sharp that looked like they had a plane horn inside their ears. The KnightWalkers couldn't contain the pain and screamed in pain. They were not the only ones, all 600,000 soldiers in LC and Harbour Island heard the same sound.''

  (- Sound heard by the KnightWalker soldiers. DO NOT open this if you have fragile hearing. Turn down the volume of this sound if you're going to hear. Thank you.) 

''The KFP soldiers ran after the KnightWalkers, after they ran some meters ahead, they found the KnightWalkers... screaming in pain.''

- KFP Soldier 5: What they are doing...

One of the KFP soldier noticed they were holding their heads as if something were inside their brains.

- KFP Soldier 6: This is...!

The sounds of shots stopped since the enemy troops were unable to keep fighting.

''- KFP Soldier 7: The shots stopped... All divisions stop shooting... Is that possible...''

One of the soldier looked up and noticed the shots across the city stopped.

''- KFP Soldier 8: All of them... Are feeling the same thing.''



".........."

''The screams stopped. Few seconds later, the soldiers that were screaming stood up. Their eyes were dead like if they were brainwashed zombies. They smiled at the KFP Soldiers.''

''The KFP soldiers took steps backward. That reaction was normal, because the enemy was more like creepy psychopaths that came out from some thriller film.''

- KFP Soldier 6: Drop your weapons!

- KFP Soldier 3: Drop your weapons now you or we are going to shoot!

''The KFP batallion aimed their guns at the KnightWalkers and All Jokers. But no sound came from the enemy, only deep breaths came from the enemy's mouths. ''



''After that, the All Jokers and KnightWalkers pulled their pistols in their belts and aimed their pistols in their necks. They were smilling the entire time.''

- KFP Soldier 2: IMPOSSIBLE!

- KFP Soldier 3: STOP TH---!

''Before the KFP Soldier could finish his words, the enemy forces shot themselves. Their bodies fell on the ground like dolls.''

''They were not only ones who committed suicide. After they shot themselves, the shots across the city started again, but that shots were not coming from the weapons of KFP and GDP; that sounds were coming from the KnightWalkers and All Jokers' guns, they were killing themselves at the same time like as if all that mass suicide was an end of a spectacle of horrors.''



''Laughs, shots and screams came from the KnightWalkers and All Jokers as they committed suicide. Some of them used knives, iron pipes, pieces of wood... Anything that could take their lives. ''

''100,000 soldiers died in a second, more 100,000 soldiers died in 2 seconds, and more 100,000 soldiers died in 3 seconds. Gradually thousands of enemy soldiers were killed.''

''The city became a stage of a grotesque spectacle while the enemies killed themselves for no reason. Some KFP and GDP soldiers vomited. Some of KnightWalkers and All Jokers used knives to behead themselves, others used axes to rip their guts out, others cut their genitals, others threw themselves from buildings, others burned themselves... And many other types of suicide. ''



''The destruction of Hand of Apocalypse Satellite and the destruction of KnightWalker fleet in Harbour Island was suppose to be the epic end of Liberty City War but Eckidina gave the Americans the most terrible and frightening end of all times. It was starting, the largest mass suicide of all time.''

- KFP Soldier 1: Jesus...

- KFP Soldier 2: This is how it ends...

''- KFP Soldier 3: With the largest suicide in history... The Liberty City War ends.''

''The shots and screams stopped. Finally, all KnightWalkers and All Jokers of Liberty City and Harbour Island were dead. That mass suicide was the true official end of the war.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile in Chronos Empire Chopper 



''Because of the explosion of the Hand of Apocalypse Satellite, the helicopter was forced to land for a few hours due to EMP generated by radiation from the satellite. Because of that, Eugen was late to save Jellal. Eugen, Marcus, Logan, Tarma Cryska, Roy, Takeshi, X-23 and Cassie were informed about the victory in Harbour Island.''

They had the mission to go to the island but it turned out to be unnecessary, since Wataru was able to defeat all the enemy fleet without problems.

''So, Eugen's plans changed only to save Jellal, she saw his signal when Jellal shot a blue laser beam at the sky. During the way, they saw many battles below but when the KnightWalkers and All Jokers started to commit suicide, even the helicopter pilot stopped to saw that.''

- Pilot: What in the world...



Eugen and the others looked below thought the window of the chopper and saw all enemies killing themselves.

- Eugen: My God...

''- X-23: So many people... Killing themselves at once...''

- Cassie: What happened?!

- Marcus: It's impossible they are doing all of it by themselves!

''- Logan: A sight full of this much pain... You'd have to be crazy to understand what it was.''

- Roy: Why are you so confused?

Everyone looked at Roy Mustang.



''- Eugen: He is right... There is only one person able to do this. I'm not talking about the mass suicide... I'm talking about this evil act.''

- Roy: Eckidina KnightWalker!

''With Roy's angry words, everyone nodded. Eckidina was the only monster able to do that. They don't know any human able to do that. Nobody calls Eckidina of "inhuman" because no one considers her a human.''



''All those men and women who invaded LC and Harbour Island were following orders, the KnightWalker Family does not have a large army enough to control large countries, so the KnightWalkers invade countries and force the military to fight for them. They train them to be cruel soldiers, after all, the KnightWalkers don't need a country and need not follow rules. They care only about power, domination and money. As long they have that, human lives are useless.''

''All these KnightWalkers and All Jokers were normal people. They had families and children... But all of that was taken from them when Eckidina and Juria threatened to kill their families. All they needed to do was just to commit atrocities in the name of the organization to keep their family safe. But as said before, not all of them are people who were forced, some simply entered the organization to have fun causing death and destruction.''



Eugen looked outside and saw Jellal lying on the ground.

''- Pilot: We are here! ''

''The pilot of the helicopter said that when he saw Jellal 30 meters below. Eugen and the others looked down to see Jellal lying on the ground. He was almost dead because he used his last magi-tech energy to shoot that blue laser beam at the sky.''

- Eugen: Jellal!

Jellal heard her voice and looked up while the chopper was about to land.

''- Jellal: Ah... Eugen... You're okay...''

Eugen ran towards Jellal and got in her knees.

''- Eugen: Even in this situation, you still worrying about others. ''

Eugen smiled.

''Marcus and Logan ran towards Jellal and carried him to the helicopter. Eugen followed the group. Seconds later, the helicopter flew again and headed the KFP Hospital where Tomas was.''

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;text-align:center;"> Eckidina KnightWalker's Cruiser

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10.000 kilometers above Pacific Ocean

<p style="text-align:center;"> Space

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 minutes later



''That was the drop of water, 3 officers killed themselves on the bridge after seeing one of the most horrific scenes in their lives. Reynare and the others watched all mass suicide through the main monitor of the bridge that was showing images of the LC and Harbour Island at several points.''

''There was not a single person there that was not showing signs of shock, some officers fled to the bathroom to vomit. Even Reynare was pale when she saw men and women who gave their lives for Eckidina killing themselves in cruel ways. Eckidina was smiling with a blush as if she was watching some kind of bizarre porn.''

- Eckidina: They may have been garbage, but seeing them all die at once like that this is still pretty painful!~

- Reynare: Why didn't you keep them around to help?



''- Eckidina: Huh?! Because they're a bunch of shitpiles! Their brains might fuction like I desire now because of my psychological tortures, but their specs aren't high enough to be useful.''

- Reynare: I-I guess so.

Eckidina changed her sight to Reynare and smiled.

''- Eckidina: You better be careful, too... Allied or not, I'll slice you up if you let your guard down!''

Reynare smiled and nodded like what Eckidina just said was nothing.

- Reynare: Okay!

After she said that, Eckidina jumped from her chair.

''- Eckidina: Well, we better get going to Japan! The Tech of the End, Atala, Revy, Haru and Azul Jissele... Or better saying... Yona Lindray, are waiting for us!''

Just like that, Eckidina ordered her subordinates to change the route of the ship to Japan.

''- Eckidina: Turn around! We are going back to Japan!''

- All KnightWalker Workers: Yes, Milady!

''The subordinates were recovering from the shock but her words woke them all. With that, all workers and officers returned to their positions.''



''- Reynare: Milady, what about Misogi Kumagawa? He was in charge of the Hand of Apocalypse Satellite.''

''- Eckidina: Ah... Hehehe. I almost forgot about him. Don't worry, Misogi-chan is a Cyborg like me. He's a High-Class Cyborg so that explosion was nothing to him. He can survive in space and can regenerate. However, Reynare, can you please go out there and rescue him? I want him in my ship before we land in Japan.''

- Reynare: Right away, Milady.

Reynare walked away.

''Eckidina's Cruiser started to move again and turned around. The ship was now going towards Japan.''

<p style="text-align:center;">''- Eckidina: The Global Pact Defense, KnightWalker Funeral Parlor and KnightWalker Family... All of them lost this war. This war has no meaning, it was just for some fun. Because peace, hope and harmony are boring. No matter who won this war on the battlefield, there was only one winner...''

<p style="text-align:center;"> '...After all, if there was a single person who suffered, this means that I was the only winner. As long there is suferring in this world, that'd just be another reason for pain! Fufufufu.'



The End
<p style="text-align:center;">31, Octuber - The Day of War



<p style="text-align:center;">Future historians would look back upon this day and refer to it as such.



<p style="text-align:center;">It was a turning point in military history, just as it was a turning point in history.



<p style="text-align:center;">This was the day that magi-tech was proven to have surpassed mechanical, nuclear, and biological arms.



<p style="text-align:center;">Bared before all was the truth that magic alone determined the outcome between victory and defeat.



<p style="text-align:center;">This was the true dawn of history for the race known as Magicians, in all of its high glory and darkest suffering.



<p style="text-align:center;">That was the day humanity finally woke up and fought the most evil corporation in its history.



<p style="text-align:center;">'That was the day... Was the gate to the most evil, deadly and tragic event in human history that would happen 1 year after... The World War III.'



<p style="text-align:center;">She still out there...

???


''After Cavalo closed his eyes and died, he opened his eyes again. He was lying on the ground, he was wearing his combat clothes when he was still alive. Cavalo had a bit of trouble to get up but he managed to stand alone.''

''He looked around the place he woke up and realized that he was no longer in Liberty City. It was a blue space without walls and sounds, Cavalo felt as he was in space. He looked at the infinite space full of stars, planets and galaxies.''

''- Cavalo: This place... Space?''

- (???): I've been waiting.



''A male voice was heard through that space. Cavalo looked around and saw a person standing in front of a door. The door appeared out of nowhere, that was not there before.''

''Cavalo got scared and confused. He had no idea what was going on at that time.''

''- Cavalo: Who are you? Where I am? What's this place?''

- (???): Geez, you didn't change at all, big brother.

- Cavalo: !!!!!

- (???): Hum~ Hum

- Cavalo: Tommy...

''The person standing there is Tommy. Cavalo's young brother. Tommy walked towards Cavalo, revealing his identity.''

''- Cavalo: You've been waiting for me? Really? Sorry, I made you wait.''

Cavalo smiled when he saw his young brother.



''- Tommy: I've been watching you all long. Looks like you lost your way. But I don't blame you.''

Cavalo looked down while holding his covering his face with his hands.

- Tommy: What's the problem?

Tommy asked in confusion.

- Cavalo: I knew it...

- Tommy: What?

''- Cavalo: They killed you at that day... The last day I saw you...''

"..............."

''- Tommy: I died of heart attack because of the pain during the experiment. That girl was there.''



- Cavalo: That girl?

''- Tommy: That really beautiful KnightWalker girl... I forgot her name...''

"....."

- Cavalo: Don't remember!

Cavalo yelled at Tommy and held his shoulders with his hands.

- Tommy: Eh?

''- Cavalo: There are "things" in this world that should not be remembered. The same rule works for people.''

''Tommy's expression changed to confusion but it soon was changed to a smile. Tommy extended his hand to Cavalo.''

''- Tommy: Let's go. Everyone is waiting!''

Cavalo smiled with his words and grabbed Tommy's hand.



<p style="text-align:center;">' Cavalo: Let's go. '

<p style="text-align:center;"> Liberty City War Arc - The End 

<p style="text-align:center;"> LOTM: Sword of Kings Spin-Off: Rise of the Blue Haired Heroine - To Be Continued... 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Thanks for reading! 

<p style="text-align:center;">

In The Next Episode...
<p style="text-align:center;"> Japan - Tokyo 

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Family Ward Walker Base 

<p style="text-align:center;"> KnightWalker Kitchen 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 06:12 PM 



''Two days had passed since the war in Liberty City was over. The defeat of the KnightWalkers brought a light of hope to the world. For years, there was no nation that could overcome the KnightWalker Family because of their technology, but the defeat of KnightWalkers in the United States paved the way for hope, many countries came together and began to raise their arms against the KnightWalkers. The few factions that fought the KnightWalkers were the VSA, GDP, KFP and ISA, however, this graphic would change when the nations finally felt the power to overcome the KnightWalkers.''



''All medias in the world recorded the atrocities of the KnightWalkers during the invasion, therefore, ONU, Human Rights Association and the United Nations will go to war against the KnightWalker Family. Not even the KnightWalkers can handle all the nations of the world at the same time, which is why the KnightWalkers wanted to invade the Harbour Island; to turn off all communication networks of USA. ''

''The world was now entering in a new war, the Cold War III. ''

''Moreover, with the destruction of the Hand of Apocalypse Satellite, all countries moved their troops to Europe without fear of that satellite. Also, not even the North Korea and the Godom Empire that are allies of KnightWalker Family are going to help in this war.''



''Eckidina was not pleased because her father withdrew her power as leader of the Eckidina's Horsemen as punishment for starting ANOTHER war. Because of Eckidina's actions, she lost many of her best generals and officers in LC. Also, the KnightWalker Family lost 3% of their military. 6,000,000 millions civilians died in LC, 100,000 of police officers died in combat, 5,000,000 of GDP and KFP soldiers died in combat and 4,053 Magicians of GDP died during the Hlokaust Cannon's explosion. That invasion was become the most destructive attack on American territory in history since the Trade World Center attack in 2001. It was the day the Americans saw the horrors of war, but every sacrifice worth it because now the world would face the KnightWalkers, something that never happened in a thousand years.''

Could this be the beginning of a new era of peace or a new era of despair and pain?

"............"

Only the time will tell.



''Unfortunately, for Vladimir Makarov, he failed in his mission to invade Harbour Island and shut off the central computer of the island. Actually, Vladimir was the leader of the invasion, and he failed in all goals. He even retreated when Misogi was about to use the Hlokaust Cannon in LC, showing his cowardice. This mission failed because of him and Eckidina was punished by her father because of him, so it was obvious who Eckidina would make a "surprise".''

''The scene changes to Makarov tied in a chair with a doll of a rabbit made of cardboard tied around his neck. Eckidina was cooking roasted sausage with human blood broth; And that blood was from Vladimir's veins.''

''- Eckidina: ♪ Sleep little one. Sleep already. Or the Coco will come and take you away. Sleep little one. Sleep already. Or the Coco will come and eat you up. ♪''



''Eckidina is singing "Duermerte Nino", a creepy Spanish lubbaby for children. She was singing that while she was cooking, she loves to sing creepy sngs while cooking to someone, she is not the very best example of a wife. After Eckidina finished cooking, she drank the blood that was in the broth with a spoon and smiled.''

- Eckidina: Hum~

Eckidina turned around and showed the plate with her food.

- Eckidina: ♥It's ready!♥

- Makarov: *UUMMHHH!*

''Makarov tried to beg for mercy but his mouth was tied with a cloth and only sounds of unspeakable words was heard. Eckidina always wanted to do that with him. Eckidina, however, started to eat the food in front of him like she made that for her.''

''- Eckidina: It's really good! Blood pure on the sausage makes it appear that the meat was badly roasted. You know, I always hated you because of your ignorence to question my orders. I was already planning to do this with you for a long time but I've never did that because you were useful. But your failure in LC was another reason to do this with you. But don't worry, I don't hate you. I have plans for you.''

- Makarov: *UUMMHHH!*

''- Eckidina: You know, about torture... If I do it with innocent things familiar to you, doesn't feel much scarier? Spoon, for example. The tools you think nothing of using in your daily life. If those to mess you up it leaves real trauma. It's so painful, don't you think?''

- Makarov: *UUUUUMMMMMHHHHH!!!!!*

Makarov tried to beg for mercy again and even tried to run, but he couldn't do anything.

Eckidina got in her knees and smiled.

''- Eckidina:  Here! Say "Ahh!"''

''Eckidina started to approach the spoon she was holding at Makarov's eye. Makarov began to cry and tried to scream.''
