The strange purple beast flopped down, disintegrating into tiny black pieces, and disappeared into a black hole. At the same time, the door of the laboratory suddenly shook and was slit apart. Kiana and I raised our weapons, ready to face new enemies. However, it was someone entirely unexpected. Raiden Mei was at the door.

"Kiana-Chan...? Patrick-Kun...?" Kiana Kaslana had pictured 10,000 different scenes of her reunion with Raiden Mei. But none of them was like this one. At a moment like this, in a place like this... Her heart was filled with nothing but fear. "Mei... -Senpai...?" "Mei...?" "What are you doing here? ...Y-You shouldn't be here! I...t-this place...it's dangerous here!" After all she had been through with me, she thought she was strong enough to stay calm on this occasion. But her confidence collapsed the moment she saw Mei. She became that lost wanderer in Arc City again. The guilt lingering in her heart, the fear of losing control again... The demon was whispering behind her. Mei embraced Kiana firmly, without saying a word. She hold Kiana so tightly, as if this girl would vanish before her eyes if she let go. "Kiana-chan, you are hurt... Let me take you and Patrick-kun back, to Hyperion. We miss you." Said Mei.

"No... I can't go back, Mei-senpai." Could she still hug and horse around with her friends like she used to, like nothing happened. And the girls... would they still respond to her with sweet smiles and hugs? Some wounds would never heal. They leave permanent scars that hurt no matter how hard you try to cover them up. "I'm sorry... I can't go back... I can't bring danger to you again." Said Kiana. Mei gazed at Kiana, as if she had never known her. "What she means is that she's scared that Sirin will kill you and the others like before and Kiana can't risk you getting killed by Sirin..." I was cut off when Mei embraces me too by pulling me into the hug. My face literally went red from getting a hug from the beautiful Japanese Waifu girl. "I don't care if Sirin tries to kill me. Kiana-chan, I want to protect you from Schicksal, even if it kills me. Patrick-kun... You have Drago-san to bring her down. Thank you for protecting Kiana-Chan from Schicksal." "You're welcome Mei-san. I've been keeping her safe from Schicksal for 4 months. She tried to run away from me but I managed to catch her and she stopped trying to run away from me."

"Ahem... Kiana, Patrick, no time for catching up. Enemies are coming. Tell Mei-san to ready for combat." Said Fu Hua "Mei-Senpai, give us more time. We must leave this place now. After this city is safe... ...We'll talk about this." Said Kiana. "Rita-san told me you're both here. She told me everything. Kiana-chan... I just want you to know, that we—all the girls on Hyperion—we'll always be there waiting for you." Said Mei.

"She's scared that Sirin will awaken. I've told you that already. But now I have the Dragon Divine Keys with me." I pulled out the Dragon Divine Keys and made them float in mid air. "A month ago after we left Arc City, we traveled to the 2nd Dragon Temple where we met the Guardian Dragon Toriyama himself and found the Dragon Divine Keys. A few weeks later, I introduced Kiana to my family in person. Then I showed her Alaska and then we came back to Arc City to fight World Serpent." I explained.

"You've really changed over the last few months." Said Mei. "We have. Kiana hasn't been acting like she used to be at St. Freya and has been acting more serious on fighting and surviving. But now that you're here, we can keep Kiana safe from Otto Apocalypse. Rita has found us and soon more from Schicksal will show up to apprehend us. Which is why I'm hoping to get Kiana out of here and safely to Hyperion to keep her safe." "I can't." Mei and I turned to Kiana. "I don't want anyone getting killed by Sirin. I have to stay away from them."

"Kiana, whether you like it or not. We have to return to the Hyperion. We can't let Otto do the same thing he did to you 4 months ago. I nearly killed Rita to protect you but you prevented me from murdering her..." "Wait one moment... Did you just say that you tried to kill Rita-san?" "I needed to kill her to make sure that Otto never succeeds in capturing us, but Kiana prevented me from killing her." "What is wrong with you?! Why are you now talking about killing people?!" "Because Rita helped murder billions! She's loyal to Otto and knew about his plans and never hesitated or had any concern about the lives of humanity! That's why I tried to kill her!"

"This is just about revenge for everything the Overseer has done!" "It is! He's murdered billions and is the reason for why everything has been happening in the past 4 months! The reason why half of humanity has been wiped out, the reason why Kiana was turned into a Herrscher, AND THE REASON WHY MAJOR HIMEKO IS DEAD!" I screamed so loud that it caused Kiana and Mei to get frightened. "Himeko-Sensei is gone because of Otto Apocalypse... Another reason why I'm going to kill him. I now have my own Divine Keys to end that bas****'s life for good to make sure that he never does the same thing he did 4 months ago." I said before the Dragon Divine Keys went back to me. Tears went out of my eyes. "I've had to keep Kiana safe from Schicksal and World Serpent for the past 4 months and now we got captured again by Raven and Jackal but managed to escape but the next time we won't be able to escape if we get captured again by Schicksal or World Serpent. Kiana has been refusing to return to you and the others like a wanted fugitive cast into exile never to return home ever again..."

"Stop arguing!" Drago screamed at us making us stop. "Thank you. We must now focus on getting out of here, make sure that Rita doesn't capture Kiana, and leave Arc City back to our friends. You got that? Or else, Kiana I'm gonna ask Theresa to make you retake everything you failed at St. Freya if you take longer to return to our friends. Understood?" "Yes Drago." Answered Kiana. "Good. Now let's get out of here." "The sooner we leave the sooner we'll be safe from Schicksal. Our exile from our friends and family is over. We now have to return to them to protect you from Otto Apocalypse." Kiana nodded, then turned to face her enemies. Kiana and I changed into our Augmented Core battlesuits then she drew out her guns while I drew out the duel wielding Dragon Swords in the forms of Kirito's swords from "Sword Art Online." Void Erinyes' appeared then Void Taurus' appeared. We screamed as we charged and took them out in a matter of seconds.

We went up the elevator and got back up only for more Quantum type enemies to appear. But we took them out and now made our escape as we ran though but as we got to the door at the end of the giant room, more of these types of enemies appeared but we took them out.
