The team has to swim into the giant's mouth and try to find an entry point. They have multiple questions that they want to ask themselves.

Eula: How the hell is there a giant Honkai beast like this underwater?

Y/n: I've heard about this type of Honkai beast. It was rarely seen in some eruption, but I think this one was really old, it may have been alive back when Xianzhou existed.

Kiana: So, if this monster is here? Does that mean we have already arrived at Xianzhou?

Fu Hua: Yes, it's a possible conclusion.

The team continues to go onward as they see a breathing space and swim out of it and are inside the cave. Waters dripping from stalactites and stalagmites, and only a small light coming from the reflection of the water is illuminating the darkness of this cave.

Kiana then asks Y/n about Himeko getting too focused on this mission.

Kiana: By the way, Y/n. Do you think Himeko cares about this mission a little too much?

Y/n: Why'd you ask?

Kiana: I just... can't help but notice it.

Y/n can't tell the truth just yet as this might take a toll on some. Fu Hua checks their navigations as they explore the caves.

Fu Hua: Major, we're getting close now.

Himeko: Then it means we're getting close to where the sword is. Let's go.

As they move forward Kiana can't help but mutter about her observations to their surroundings.

Kiana: Why does this cave kind of smells a mix of water and bat-pee?

Y/n: How the hell do you even know what bat's piss smells like?

Himeko: Well, does it matter now?

*Opening 2 plays Blue Bird*

The team continues to move forward towards the deep dark cave with their lights on their head gear turned on and their weapons are in their respective holsters.

Y/n has something in his mind as he asks Fu Hua.

Y/n: Fu?

Fu Hua: What is it, Y/n?

Y/n: Since you're a bookworm like a certain friend I had on the train before I got here; Tell me, how much do you know about the Xuanyuan sword?

Fu Hua: Well... Not much but from what I read is that this sword was once a sacred treasure by the Xianzhou natives.

Kiana: Wait, is it colored gold like the once we saw on the Overseer?

Fu Hua: Indeed. It was so holy in form and color that nobody was allowed to touch it except the person who found it. That person saw its power and used it to vanquish the corrupt and evil.

Y/n: That person would be the Yellow Emperor herself?

Fu Hua: Correct. The Yellow Emperor has an amazing ability that is said to be blessed by their god.

Eula: So, who was the god they're worshiping?

Fu Hua: Unfortunately, there's no record in the scrolls about the god's name. However, all I can find throughout the scrolls related to it is that it has a crown, a body of a centaur except its hind legs are wheels of a chariot, and wields a wind cutting bow and arrow.

Y/n suddenly hears Meijin in his head, shocked and gasping for the information that she gave to all.

Meijin: That description... It can't be...

Y/n: 'It all pieces together to the person who we think it is...'

Meijin & Y/n: Reignbow Arbiter...

But it didn't go unnoticed by Fu Hu and the rest about what Y/n muttered.

Eula: Wait, what did you just say again?

Y/n: Oh, nothing I just said Rainbow Orbiter...

Fu Hua: Hmm, I thought you just said what I think you said based on the scroll... Reignbow Arbiter it says in the scroll?

Y/n's mind has left more questions about Lan the Hunt, being here in this world before. He asks Meijin about this since he made contact with him before and made him his Emanator.

Y/n: 'Meijin, did you know about this?'

Meijin: How should I? I've never made contact with Lan for a long time...

Y/n: 'Ok... Guess I'll talk to him when I make contact with him...'

Y/n's thoughts are disturbed when Himeko stops and whispers.

Himeko: Wait...

Kiana: What is it, Himeko?

Himeko: I can hear movement... Everyone, hands on your weapons.

They all slowly positioned their hands on their weapons but some were gripping it tightly. As they move forward, they stumble across a hole that can serve as a peeping window.

Then they cautiously get to the stone and raise their heads a little to look into the hole. There they saw a lot of mechas and 5 people gathering around a campfire. They can hear their conversation.

Thug: Man, why did we even bother digging down here?

Thug 2: Haven't you heard, they said that this place was once an ancient city of China.

Thug: 3: That Xianzhou stuff? Nah, I ain't buying it.

Thug: Then why did we even bother going down here anyway?

Thug 4: Heard that b**ch's kid, Sin Mal was tasked to proceed our operation we signed up for towards the next phase.

Thug 5: You should be glad she isn't here, otherwise you'll be shish kebab by her sword.

The Schicksal team are curious about Sin Mal's name and the AE being in Xianzhou.

Kiana: Wait, why are there Anti-Entropy mechas here?

Himeko: Are they looking for the sword and its stigmata too? Interesting...

Fu Hua: Major, perhaps we should ask one of them what are they doing here?

Himeko: Not a bad idea... We need someone to take the lead, though...

The girls looked at each other and all of their gaze was pointed towards the only boy in the group. Y/n was confused by this and loudly whispered at her.

Y/n: W-Why me?!

Eula: You've got good execution on stealth.

Kiana: Besides you did it before with me, right?

Y/n was stuttering but eventually gives up and mutters,

Y/n: Fine... Why do these girls not know about stealth takedowns?

The thugs kept on the lookout while on the campfire to warm themselves up from the cold. The girls positioned themselves towards the three thugs gathered around the fire.

Y/n was positioned behind another that is watching the campers. Y/n uses hand signals to notify if they are in position. The girls noticed it and nodded. He counts with his fingers to take them out in one move.

Y/n: *hand count* 3, 2, 1...

The three girls knock out the campers with the blunt side of their weapons while Y/n covers the guard's mouth and neck with his arm and quietly takes them out. But they left with one more and saw the girls.

Thug 5: No, no...!

He was about to contact someone on his walkie-talkie when Y/n beats him to it and stumbles him down to the floor. He was fearful for his life as he was afraid of the Schicksal team, even though Y/n is honestly never affiliated with Schicksal.

Y/n then began his interrogation by grabbing his collar and raising him up with all of his strength as the girls watch do his fearful work.

Y/n: Talk! Why are you here?!

Thug 5: Go to hell!

The thug injected something to his neck but Y/n judo threw him behind and held his arm as he grabbed it immediately leaving its toxin with half the amount left of what was injected to him.

All the toxin did for his body was glowing red to green marks as he started to be terrified when he realized it didn't work. Y/n continues his interrogation.

Y/n: Answer me!!

Thug 5: I got nothing to say to you, you brat!!! *Feels the pressure* Gagh!!!

Y/n: Talk! Or I'll crush all of your bones in your body in one strike!!!

Thug 5: Okay, okay!! We were assigned here by Sin Mal to mine something like a sword! A Xuanyuan or something from those words!!!

Y/n: You're hiding something else, *scan feel the bone cracking* so spill it!!!!!!

Thug 5: W-We saw a door that has dragons engraved on it and stone keys of sorts just on your left!!! I swear that's all I know!

Y/n: If you're lying, I'll break your balls instead!

Thug 5: My ba-!? GRAAAAGH!!!

Y/n stomped his... privacies, and the thug passed out from the pain and shock as the girls only watched there, winced from the way he knocked the thug out. He then uses his secret Innovade abilities to identify the toxin injected to him.

Y/n: 'This toxin has Honkai radiation and poison-inducing substance... I'll keep this sample and send it back to Ptolemy...'

The team then moves on to where the thug said the door is. As they approached the door, its engravings are 2 dragons facing each other with a keyhole in the shape of a strange fish.

Y/n: You heard from the guy, right? What do we know about that door?

Fu Hua: The people of Xianzhou made this door. The 2 dragons engraved onto it.

Himeko: Hmph! *smirk* Looks like we hit the jackpot. Step back everyone. I'll split this with my blade.

Fu Hua: Please wait a minute, Major Himeko! We should use the mechanisms correctly to avoid triggering any traps. There's a keyhole here that can fit a stone slab. The pictographs indicate the gate mechanisms to be on either side.

Himeko: Oh... I'm sorry, that was reckless of me. Let's split into 2 teams and find the mechanisms. Y/n will stay here to guard the door. Let's not waste time, let's go!

All: Understood/Got it!

All the girls moved out except Y/n to find the keys for the door to open. In his head, Meijin asked him something about this door.

Meijin: Hey, Y/n. Could you check out those dragon drawings for me?

Y/n: 'Umm, sure...'

Y/n gets closer to the door, observing the dragons closely as he notices that there are some Chinese writings engraved in the dragon's scales.

Y/n: There's some writing here, Meijin. Is this your language?

Meijin: Well, one of them. But the major language of Xianzhou is much more complicated though.

Y/n: Then... What does it say?

Meijin then observes the writings in a crosswise motion and says the meaning of those writings.

Meijn: "Of 6 people, three must pay a price."

But suddenly, Y/n felt a stinging pain in his brain as he gritted his teeth in pain. He can hear a voice filled with malice and cold in its grinning mouth.

???: "Of six people, three must pay a price" And you are not one of them, Meijin.

Y/n stumbles down as he breathes slowly from that memory and asks Meijin.

Y/n: 'Meijin... What happened? Why is Blade in my memory?'

Meijin: More like both... I need to shut out for a while. I need time to recuperate from that memory.

Meijin locks himself out from his head for a while. Y/n can feel that his other consciousness pulled away, instantly. Y/n is strangely feeling what Meijin has. A mix of aghast and grief. Meijin and Y/n's thoughts are almost one and the same.

Y/n: 'What happened to that guy? Is it someone familiar with Meijin?'

Meijin: 'What have you become, Ying Xing?'

But then he hears the girls returning from their tasks as Y/n's thoughts put it aside and asks them.

Y/n: How did it go?

Eula: All good. All Honkai entities are destroyed.

Kiana: We got the keys but there's these strange markings that's like some sort of... writings?

Y/n: What do you got?

Fu Hua: Well, this stone slab says: "Years ago, Ji Xuanyuan entered the Xianzhou Loufu alone with her blade to seal Chiyou. I tried to look for her body inside the ship, but it was a failure as I couldn't see her body anywhere at all."

Y/n has something in his mind as he remembers during his stay from Dan Heng's room about the Shackling Prison.

Y/n: 'Hmm, Dan Heng's info about the Shackling Prison is lacking. Might be the perfect time to investigate.'

Y/n can see that the team is carefully putting the stone slab into its keyhole unlocking it's first as Y/n is having thoughts in his mind.

Y/n: 'If Meijin can do it, then so can I. I can't always rely on Meijin to translate these words for me.'

Y/n concentrates as he breathes quietly and feels the power that Meijin has in his body. Fu Hua can feel the energy as well, making her skin feel cold from its power.

Fu Hua: What form of power is this?

Y/n's eyes suddenly changed to a red-blood color and he can see the writings highlighted in blue markings in his visuals. He then deciphers the message and tells it.

Y/n: "Eventually, I found this place called the Shackling Prison. But it resulted the same, and the worst part is the sword is missing too. The only thing I could do for my fellow comrade is to carve the writings on these stones to tell her story and build a statue of the Dragon of Permanence and with these humanoid dragon knights to keep her from spending an eternity alone."

Himeko: Is that... All of it?

Y/n: Yeah...

But then he can hear the door opening as the team comes back to him.

Y/n: You did it. You unlocked the door!

But their celebrations were cut short as a voice echoed through the ruins.

???: You've found me at last... filthy humans.

Himeko: Hey, who was that?

But suddenly a strong gravity is pulling them in as Y/n was alerted.

Y/n: It's pulling us in! Hold your positions!

Everyone is holding on to their lives with Kiana clinging onto Eula's leg with her greatsword stabbed on the floor, Y/n stabs his blades to stabilize his balance and holds his position, and finally Fu Hua is holding on to Himeko's arm and her sword as a support to hold her position.

But she can see Himeko being pulled much harder as Fu Hua is trying her best not to let go of her arm.

Himeko: Ggh...!

But Himeko's hand slips to Fu's arm and is pulled into the realm completely.

Himeko: GYAAAAGH!!!

Kiana: Himeko!

Everyone else is now slowly regaining their balance and the gravity pull is lowering its power and leaving an only opened door leading downstairs to its domain.

Eula: We got to track her down and save her! These stairs might be the only way towards her.

Fu Hua: Wait, how can you be so sure that she's there!

Y/n: I can still sense her life force in there! Come on!

Hyperion
Guangzhou, China 
(4 hours after departure from St. Freya)

Up above the sea to the skies, the Hyperion is now on the way towards the Guangzhou South Ocean.

Mei is in her quarters, sleeping before they take into the waters to help Kiana and the rest. But she's moving her head side to side and groaning with her eyes still closed. She then felt her mind pulled inside a dreamscape.

Flashes of Himeko and Y/n battling against a white entity in a dark void and blows and waves of quantum, fire, and particle elements around the place and dust blows away everything in the scene as the battle is ensuing.

The stone shape of Hyperion parked in front of a stone shaped throne is the battle arena of the three fighters in the realm. She then gets close to them and sees who the white entity is. It has the face of someone familiar to her.

Mei: No... Kiana?

But then Himeko and Y/n were knocked down to the Hyperion's deck. Himeko is down and Y/n is the one left standing with its eyes in a different color.

Mei: Please stop... This can't be real...

The last two then make their final moves as the trails of red light from Y/n and dark void from the Kiana copy. Both lights clashed together and everything went white.

Mei: It can't be... What happened?! Why did they-

???: The time for his disappearance is written.

Mei: Wha-

Mei was suddenly enveloped in bright light before she could say a word.

She screamed and gasped from the nightmare as Bronya treated her.

Theresa: I see you had a nightmare?

Mei: I'm sorry, principal... I can't help but feel troubled about Kiana and the rest.

Theresa: Don't fret too much about them, you'll be stressing yourself out. I'm still picking up their life signals, so at least we know you're okay.

Mei then points out the other question involving Himeko in worry.

Mei: What about Major Himeko?

Theresa: Himeko's life sign we're temporarily lost. Either from a disturbance of Honkai or her tracker is broken. But trust me, that woman won't easily let herself be killed. But don't worry, we're getting close to Guangzhou.

Despite Theresa's attempts to ease her worries, Mei can't help herself but feel a grim event coming on their rescue mission. Bronya asked her about how she feels right now.

Bronya: Mei, are you really okay?

Mei: I... I feel fine but why do I feel like there's something destructive coming our way...

Theresa is walking side to side of the bridge's windshield, thinking of a plan if AE will intervene. But then the navigator of Hyperion notified Theresa what she picked up on the radar.

Navigator: There's an unidentified warship in front of us! Sending an identification warning! *taps buttons* No response ma'am!

Theresa: Put it on screen!

The Navigator taps buttons again to show it up to the screen. They can see the warship de-cloaking its optical camouflage and then revealing the logo of AE with the sunlight shining on the AE ship.

Theresa: It's the Anti-Entropy, red alert!

The whole Hyperion is now sounding the alarms for the battle to the seas has begun. With the AE warship firing its artillery guns and missiles towards the Hyperion and the Hyperion returns fire. Both sides are now in a stalemate with the arrogant captain of the AE warship watching the battle.

Ryougi: Oh Schicksal... Look at how I put you into my trap... Send out our new toys to lead them...!

The hangar of the AE warship opens up as multiple AE mechs are launching. Schicksal detected, of course, the deployment of fighters. However the one leading them is not any normal mechs that AE deploys.

Navigator: We've got new mechs launching from the warship ma'am!

Theresa: Visual!

When she put it on screen, she saw that these mechs have 4 purple eyes in a x-shape, it also has a cream-color body armor and wielding a rifle with its cone drive emitting dark red particles at the back as its propulsion.

Theresa: 'It can't be... Those mechs...' Focus our energy output towards the shields, they've got new models! Mei, Bronya you're in charge of defending the hangar! Destroy those mechs, immediately!

Bronya: Yes, ma'am.

Mei: Got it!

Mei and Bronya get out of the bridge and head towards the armory to suit up as they have some fighting to do. Theresa looks at the Anti-Entropy ship in spite and trouble.

Theresa: 'What kind of mech did you create this time?!'

The battle is now heating up with the GN-X or Jinx are now attacking Hyperion with brute force. Their attacks sometimes create a hole big enough to fit at least three Jinxes aboard the Hyperion. Their sizes can't rival the real ESF's Jinxes as these are much taller than the AE's original mechs.

Mei slashed the Jinx mech through its drive, she deflected a blaster attack as she threw the sword to its purple core and ran to get it back while also evading the Jinx's fire. She managed to get through and sliced upwards to kill another Jinx.

Mei: Gagh!

But suddenly she was hit by one of the Jinx's blasters as Bronya protects Mei by destroying the last of the Jinx's 1st wave attack with her own mech.

Bronya: Are you all right?

Mei: I'm okay, but those blasters; it felt like I just got palm striked to where I got hit. Do you know something about these?

Bronya: Nyet, Bronya doesn't have anything about these in the school's databases.

Mei and Bronya saw that there's more Jinx coming through the Hyperion's forcefield. 

Somewhere, a certain overseer is watching the events unfolding at China in the dark.

???: Hmm... Things just got a lot more, interesting. Amber, record everything in this location.

Back to the deep blue, the Schicksal team entered the ruins and passed through every Honkai entity they encountered. After all that, they finally get to the center of the Shackling Prison.

Kiana: Phew... We finally got through those annoying trap sets.

Fu Hua: Kiana, I think you're the one who trips every wire trap placed in these ruins.

Eula: Yeah... It's even more annoying if there was one of those traps that has a mechanic of "do not step into a stone slab."

Y/n: Everyone, we're here...

The view of the altar where Xuanyuan sword resided is now on their sights. With the statues of knights and phoenix guarding the sword altar at the center, the two students are intrigued about them.

Kiana: There were never knights' way back before Schicksal, right?

Eula: Never was... until the time of ancient Guangzhou. But I read about these mysterious guardians of Xianzhou in the scroll too. These are called Cloud Knights, they protect the Xianzhou Islands and the Alliance from the dark forces such as the Honkai and other Abominations.

Fu Hua then starts seeing some images of 6 flying ships with a hundred thousand army of the Cloud Knights in each ship. In a ship named Loufu stands a person wielding the Xuanyuan sword.

Fu Hua: Why can't I remember it?

Kiana was so intrigued at the phoenix statues that she touched its wings with her hand. Apparently, something happened that surprised her. The eyes of the phoenix glowed orange and its mouth opened to reveal a red orange crystal ball. They glowed and directed their light towards the Cloud Knights' glaive blade and reflected towards the sword altar.

The altar moves up at their level and the Cloud Knights statues move their arms and hold the weapon on a guarding stance. The stone that the sword is stabbed to and acts as a placeholder cracks and breaks.

The sword is now shining orange and the power is now flowing through it. It shed its rusty look and revealed the Xuanyuan sword in all of its glory.

Eula: Is that...

Y/n: Yep, the actual Xuanyuan sword.

Kiana: Oh, then let's get it and-

Fu Hua: Wait, Kiana! There's someone over there.

They look towards where Fu Hua is looking and find somebody getting the Xuanyuan sword. Kiana saw who it was and was happy to see her.

Kiana: Himeko! Where have you been? We were so worried about you.

But Eula noticed something strange about Himeko's sudden attitude. She suddenly sees the sword emitting flames and she runs to her to get out of the way of an incoming attack.

Eula: Kiana, watch out!

Kiana: Gyaaagh!!

Fu Hua and Y/n saw this too and evaded on the side to prevent themselves from getting burnt to crisp as the fire slash wave incinerated the rock behind them so easily.

They both get behind the rubble and prevent her from seeing them as the fire provides cover and buys enough time before she can attack again.

Kiana: Himeko... How did this happen?

Eula: That's not Himeko... Whoever's controlling her is the one responsible for this.

Yn: As sure as hell my Proto-GN Blades won't match up with that kind of power. Fu Hua, got any ideas?

Fu Hua is beside him, looking down in doubt and thinks something through. She then remembers when they met each other after a certain mission that ended in costing a Valkyrie's life.

Flashback

1 year ago

Himeko alongside Fu Hua who's covering them from the rain that is related to the current state Himeko is in. They're mourning towards a tombstone with a name carved on it. A dead Valkyrie named Anna Karenina.

Fu Hua: Ms. Himeko...

Himeko: Two days ago, the Honkai energy levels in Anna's body spiked during our mission. Her mind was taken over by the Honkai and so, I killed her.

Himeko remembers that day that she stabbed the Valkyrie, Anna with her greatsword. It was still fresh on her mind and she couldn't move on from it, feeling that this was the curse of the Valkyries for her.

Himeko: Anna would surely have known that becoming a Valkyrie means accepting the curse of being corrupted by the Honkai energy at any time.

Fu Hua was shocked by what she said as a Valkyrie.

Fu Hua: Major, hearing you say that... It's not normal for your resolute nature.

Himeko: Not normal... Perhaps so. Ever since we became Valkyries, I think we've all known that it would come to this.

She's saying this because she applied as a Valkyrie before to find out about the truth of his father's disappearance the year after she obtained her doctorate from California Institute of Technology or CIT.

She participated in the Valkyrie recruitment program and became the A rank Valkyria of the 1st batch potential Valkyrie rookies.Since she has no resistance against the Honkai, she was transplanted with the artificial Stigmata developed by the Schicksal.

She knows that the time will come that she will die on the battlefield by this cursed Stigmata. Himeko talks to Fu Hua as she turns her head and glances behind at her.

Himeko: If one day, the Honkai manage to take control of me... 

Himeko: You have to kill me too.

Flashback end

Fu Hua: I see the day has finally come.

Kiana: Huh? What do you mean?

Fu Hua then explains the tragic truth about the Stigmata in every Valkyrie at St. Freya and some at Schicksal.

Fu Hua: Kiana, you would know this doesn't apply to you. As Valkyries who are not born from a royal family, the power we have come from the Honkai antibodies implanted in us, but this is also a fatal poison.

Y/n didn't need to say anything about the Artificial Stigmata but he feels like Fu Hua's power is much stranger than the usual Valkyries he sees on most people.

Fu Hua: Our bodies will slowly be taken over by Honkai energy. Himeko's already covered in countless energy scars. She only has a year left to live, so being corrupted now isn't much of a surprise.

Kiana: Himeko's still alive, she has to be!

Eula's face is covered by her bangs as she grimly tells Kiana about the truth.

Eula: No, Kiana. The Major's maybe already dead. I lost a lot of friends and people because of this Artificial Stigmata. I have one in me and I only have 2 years left to live.

Kiana: Why did you-

Fu Hua: You're not a Valkyrie yet, you don't know what the end of the road looks like. Eula came from an aristocratic family which similarly had arrogant and mad experiments on Stigmata. That's why her family is slowly becoming non-existent.

Fu Hua heads on to battle her all alone. The body of Himeko slashes the Xuanyuan sword towards Fu Hua with lightning crackles in the slash attack but she jumps from it and flips over her. She landed gracefully and talked to the dead soul of Himeko.

Fu Hua: Major Himeko, if you were still yourself you wouldn't have just let me slip behind you.

The ghostly presence possessing Himeko tried to slash her from behind with the sword now in the fire element. But Fu Hua caught her blade with her left hand but her diving suit on her left arm was burned from the intense heat.

Fu Hua: Kh! 'It's so hot...! I can't take more than seconds of this... But it'll be enough for me!'

Fu Hua uses her one-inch cliff breaker punch to her back as the ghost possessed her gasped from the shock of pain and was sent to the wall.

Fu Hua chases her again and tries to take the sword while she's stunned but all of them are suddenly pulled to another pocket dimension. They are now on tundra mountains.

She noticed that there's red, green and purple avatars of Himeko surrounding the real body of Himeko encased in ice as her Artificial and the Stigmata of Xuanyuan glowed on the crystal ice.

She then fights them all dodging their thunderous blade bash attacks, wind cutting tornado slash, and incinerating waves of slash from each avatars' attacks. She purges these avatars and keeps punching the ice.

But suddenly she saw the eyes of Himeko glow and the crystal ice crack and burst. She then regains her balance and stance as she stops her knockback slide. 

She looks and sees her clothing: a tattered party dress with a top hat on her head. The landscape changed too as they're inside Taal Volcano's mouth.

Thus, they continue as Himeko is not herself anymore and launches relentless attacks on Fu Hua. She notices that her fighting style changed as she spins the blade to try and knock her up but she was knocked back instead but she fails to see her fast stab towards her.

Fu Hua: Gaagh!!!

She was instantly sent back towards a magma rock, unconscious. The ghostly presence notices the spectators as she dashes immediately close to them, making Kiana terrified at the ghost possessing Himeko.

Kiana: H-Himeko...?

She saw her blade raised up and Eula goes to Kiana and embraces her. The slash landed on Eula's back instead.

Eula: GAAAAAAGH!!!!

She released a painful scream from the incinerating attack and Himeko immediately went on a stabbing attack to kill the two in one stroke. But it was immediately stopped by a hand holding the blade.

Himeko looks at the one responsible for stopping her murder. It was Y/n whose soul was merged with Setsuna's. 

As she coldly glares at her, dangerously towards the ghost who's possessing her. The ghost's voice suddenly revealed it was the same person who kidnaps Himeko.

???: You?!

Y/n & Setsuna: Get out of that woman's body!!!

Y/n suddenly palm strikes Himeko's chest with his hand covered in ELS silver coating and the ghost is immediately banished from her body. Himeko's form was now slowly returning to normal leaving her with only the torn-up diving suit and the Xuanyuan sword now in the hands of Setsuna. He mutters something that Fu Hua couldn't hear except Kiana and Eula.

Setsuna: Xuanyuan... I'm sorry that I left you with this burdened task...

Y/n: Do you know her, Setsuna?

Setsuna: Well, it's a long story. A story from a previous small bubbled era.

Setsuna then goes towards Eula and Himeko as he touches their damaged body parts with his hands. Kiana and Fu Hua watched him do his work. His hands are now on ELS colors as the liquids of ELS goes to their wounds and assimilates them but in turn healing them as well.

Kiana: Setsuna, right? Are they going to be, okay?

Eula: Argh...! Damn that hurts a lot, are you okay?

Kiana: Eula, thank goodness you're awake.

Fu Hua: So, you're the defective one?

But suddenly they hear multiple mechs dropping in and AE goons pointing their rifles at them. Kiana and the other girls are now troubled but Setsuna is not fazed by these numbers. A person walking towards them clapping.

Sin Mal: Hahaha, useless vermin. I'm sorry for interrupting a sentimental moment, but there's no escape for you now!

Kiana: Who are you?!

Sin Mal has arrived after that take-over battle as Eula saw who it is and points her great sword at her.

Eula: What are you doing here, Sin Mal?!

Fu Hua: Wait, you know this girl?! Is she a friend of yours?

Eula: Friends? Hate to say it but that word doesn't stick to her head or her own a** about it.

Sin Mal: Oh, so you do remember me! How funny is it, that you forgot about me after you left us!

Eula: You know the reason why I left! I have my own path to follow, not to follow that witch's sick experiments without even knowing the consequences!

Sin Mal: *sigh* Oh well, I might just accidentally kill your boyfriend this time if you don't hand over the-!

But the place was shaken up as the place was rumbling, everyone else was confused, and in surprise.

Setsuna: Oh wait... This is not good! *Picks up Himeko and the Xuanyuan*

Fu Hua: W-What's not good?! *Injects a healing stim*

Sin Mal: What's that smell?! It smells like rotten garbage juice!

Kiana: That's what I'm saying, right? Right?!

Eula: That's not just any rotten liquid...

Setsuna: It's gastric juice... We need to get out now!

The Schicksal team didn't waste time as they pushed the AE team easily and Sin Mal is very pissed at this.

Sin Mal: Grr! Why you-!

Suddenly a massive air pushes all of the people and the structure debris. Towards the light as Kiana asks.

Kiana: What's happening?!

Setsuna: I should've figured this is what she had done!

Eula: Explain it to us!

Setsuna: We're not just inside the prison anymore, we're inside the giant's mouth!

Fu Hua: Giant?! You mean the one who's dead in the-

Setsuna: Yeah, and thanks to us pulling the sword out, we just cut its chains off!

All of them were now out of the beast's body, as the beast had finally risen from its long slumber making the warships stop at their attacks and looks at the trouble and tremble in fear...

Theresa: By the grace of Valkyries...

Ryougi: What is this abomination?!

Mei was now looking terrified at it's towering size and Bronya might not look like she was scared but her shaky legs says so.

Mei: What the hell? I-It's huge!!!

Bronya: Bronya cannot identify what is this Honkai...

From afar, the Ptolemy has launched its Gundams as they can see from their views as they are in shock and a bit terrified knowing that the trouble has gotten worse.

Sakura: What is that?!

Kallen: Is this the actual-?!

Ryu: It is. It's the 1st Judgement-Class Honkai Monster ever known in China... 

Rin: Chiyou.

The awakened beast now has its own two horns as it opens its mouth and lets out a loud roar that shakes the whole South Guangzhou.

Chiyou: GWOOOOAAAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!
