"Thou are most persistent, boy. haply thou are worthy of this power."

"..Yet."

"As for thou, prepare thyself."

"for thy crimes thou hast done against childlike lives." (Author Pov) "Lungmen, a place well-known in Terra, either for its place or economy, the treatment for Infected individual is... Well, Let's just say, it's not too great."

"Though they house some of the tastiest desserts I've tried..."

She said to herself as she leaned back down on the table, bored

"I wish I could stop by at Rhodes..."

Mostima was trying to amuse herself in her break time, but only to be bored again,

"And would you please stop following me? Perverted bird."

"I am just doing my job, Mostima."



WOOOOJHG FIAMMETTA IS SO COOL

"And do your things properly, for god's sake!" She scolded Mostima

"Hehe..."

Currently, Mostima has just finished her usual messenger job for Penguin Logistics, nearly getting caught by Exusiai in the process

"Dumbass, you know you shouldn't wander off into random places. Your too dangerous to be roaming off alone."

"What are you gonna do about it, Self-Proclaimed Overseer?" Mostima said the last part with a mocking tone

"Urgh! Stop calling me that!"

Mostima giggled as Fiammetta watched her annoyed

"..You are so irresponsible..." She gritted her teeth

The Fallen Sankta only shrugged, resting her head down at the table,

"But I already did my part, so can I go to Rhodes now?"

"No!" Fiammetta scolded her, "At least not yet! Not until I report to the high council!"

"Seriously...? Still with those councils? Tch..." Mostima scoffed, a bit upset but still keeping her small smile,

"But I want to meet him..."

"...Who?" That got the attention of Fiammetta

"Eh? What?"

"Who this... 'Person' you want to talk to?"

"That's a secret~" She sticks her tongue out

"Hey. Tell me." Fiammetta squinted her eyes at Mostima, waiting for her to answer, she was almost fed up by her moment

"Hmm... Fine." Mostima smiled

"Let's say... I feel my heart warm when I think about him." (Y/N Pov) "...You guys got any empty containers or something?" I walked towards Amiya

"..." Scout looked at me baffled

"(Y/N)... There's a spider on your nose..." Amiya pointed at my face slowly

"I know, Amiya."

I walked past her as I slowly rummaged around the trash piled up in the corner of the room, Tim slowly crawling around my face

"..(Y/N?)" Amiya tapped my shoulder from behind

"Oh, sorry. I need a safe place for my spider to rest in."

"Your spider..? I didn't know you were the type to like spiders..."

'Not really... It just reminds me of Theodore.' "Y-Yeah..." I smiled awkwardly at her as I continued rummaging through the trash

You know, for a pile of trash, there are a lot of useful things here! Er... Not really. Well, at least..? No, they're all trash...

"(Y/N)."

"Hm?" I looked at Amiya

"I forgot to tell you, we're gonna be leaving in 10 minutes."

"Ah, alright. Thanks for telling me."

She nodded, walking away as she talked to Dobermann, probably about leaving. Speaking of leaving, kind of excited to leave this God-forsaken annihilated battlefield city.

After a bit of scraping, I finally found an empty container, a small blue lunch box that was probably never used. Oh, poor family...

I opened the small box, sniffing inside of the box. "..Doesn't smell that nasty."

"(Y/N), please refrain from sniffing dirty things..." Amiya lightly slapped my back, "We have to walk to our destination, have you fully recovered yet?"

"Right, I'm fine currently, thank you for asking." I gave her a thumbs-up as I scrubbed the box a bit with my shirt, there is no way I am staining Mostima's coat again.

"Ey, Tim. Do you hear me? Please don't make a nest in my hair. And get in here so I can carry you safely."

Tim popped out of my hair, crawling around to my hand before going inside the box

"...Thank you." I closed the box, I really hope it's not an airtight seal.

"Dokutah! How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, you seen (Y/N) anywhere?" She groggily walked towards Amiya with one of her hands

I stood up and saw Doctor with the usual black suit she wore before,

"Ah, there you are, here." She handed me the phone back

"Oop, sorry for the trouble.."

"It's fine, I guess we'll be getting ready now." She stretched her arms out

"D-Dokutah..? Your voice has changed..?" Amiya said confused

...

Huh?

"Yeah, I assumed your voice was a bit deeper than that?" Dobermann leaned against a wall with her hands crossed

"What... do you mean?" "I'm a woman, Dobermann. I don't have a deep voice."

That reveal caused everyone in the room to be dumbfounded.

"Hah?! I thought you were a man Doctor!" Scout yelled, Dobermann quickly cutting him off by slapping his head

"Ow!"

"That out of the way... We should get going now." Doctor put her hands in her pocket

"R-Right! Everyone! Please gather up!" (Author Pov) The ground shook again as the sky became dark, signaling that another Catastrophe was about to fall in Chernobog once more. God knows what will be left of this poor city.

As for Amiya, she and her squad started to move out of the building to walk toward their escape helicopter, and time wasn't on their side.

"H-Hey, Amiya? You sure we're gonna be okay? The sky is getting darker again..." (Y/N) asked her worried

"Man up, (Y/N). We'll be fine if we keep up the pace." Ace told (Y/N), Ace himself wasn't in a great condition right now.

"Uh-huh..."

For a walk in a battlefield-destroyed city, it was a bit unsettling to slowly tread around alleyways. They only hear the occasional explosions and screams of civilians dying.

'Weird...' (Y/N) thought to himself, there's this weird feeling he has. Like somebody was watching him, but he couldn't figure out where exactly.

"Rhodes Island! Oh, I'm lucky to meet you again!"

Multiple metallic boxes hit the ground, making a thud sound as they slid toward the groups slowly.

...

"Don't move! We're surrounded by explosives!"

Everyone quickly gathered around the Doctor, their eyes darted around the buildings left and right, they weren't in the best spot to be.

(Y/N). Being new to the situation, kind of followed what everyone was doing.

"It's that damn Sarkaz Mercenary again..." Doctor scoffed as she looked around the building

"Ah, Ah! You guys are not going anywhere~"

W stepped out of the roof, She grinned as more Reunion troops started to appear behind her



"Doctor! Stay back! Everyone, protect Doctor!" Dobermann shouted as the readied her whip.

"Oh, calm down~ I'm not here to fight you~"

"Yet."

She laughed again, making the rest of Rhodes Island uneasy.

"I'm actually looking for the new guy~ Still alive?"

"Right here." (Y/N) walked out of the circle as he slowly approached the building W was at.

"Oh? Perfect."

"(Y/N)?! Get back here! Are you asking for a death wish?!" Dobermann yelled at him

"Ah, ah. I won't hurt him." W told them as her tail slowly swung left and right,

"I'll just have a small talk with him." She signaled him to go up

The rest of Rhodes Island was unsure, they would yell at him but it would make their situation worse. What's weirder for them was she

"(Y/N)..." Amiya looked at him, begging him to turn back

"Don't worry." (Y/N) waved his hands, "I'll be fine."

Well, that's what he said, but on the inside, he was SWEATING rapidly like a waterfall. Nervous about the situation

'F-Fuck... Is she gonna kill me..? Shoot me in the arm again..? O-Okay, calm down...' He took deep breaths, channeling his arts to his arms as chains started to launch into the building, impaling the walls.

He grabbed onto the chain.

'Up we go...'

His chains yanked him up, flinging him into the air as he successfully reached the 5-floor building. Stumbling a bit as he landed.

Rhodes and W were a bit surprised by his sudden decision to fling straight into the Enemy

'U-Uwaoh!'

Well, it's not a great landing.

(Y/N) fell on his back, dizzy as he slowly regained his composure

"Ah... Sorry about that, Devil Lady..."

"Hm? What did you say?"

"I meant W!"

She sighed, walking to him

"Now about the cell phone."

"Right..." (Y/N) slowly reached for his pockets

"And don't do anything stupid..."

"Like hell I would." He handed her the phone

"Heh. Thanks!" She took the phone away, giggling as she checked it.

"Now, carry on errand boy."

"...What?"

RRRRRRRRGH...

A growl was heard from below the building

"..?"

W brought her weapons up, pointing at (Y/N) and the entrance behind him, "Your friend?"

"N-No..?"

W's troops suddenly held their weapons up, cursing to themselves as a new figure appeared behind W.

..!

A strange man with a mask pointed a revolver against her head, his finger on the trigger. Ready to blow her head to pieces.

"Truly sorry for the sudden intrusion, lady."



(author note: the man himself, the antagonist from Presentable Liberty)((My take))

His voice was a little muffled and eerie, almost like an old man's. His grip firmly holding the revolver as he glared towards (Y/N),

"You've changed quite well, (Y/N)."

"...Who are you?" He said while preparing his arts, "You feel... Dreadful."

"I'll take that as a compliment." The strange man suddenly hit W on the back of her head with the blunt of his gun, causing her to grunt in pain as she staggered down.

"Urgh!"

"Leader!" The Reunion troops, now angered. Slowly walked towards W, but was stopped when he pointed the gun at her again

"Don't do anything stupid now."

(Y/N), who wasn't sure what to do right now, politely stood there as he waited.

'The fuck is this guy?' (Y/N) started to feel uneasy.

"As for my introduction, you can call me.."

"Dr. Money."

Crack!

"You?" (Y/N)'s chain suddenly lunged out of the floor, this time. It was covered in black spikes.

"Motherfucker." His palms gripped tightly,

"YOU'RE MR. MONEY?!"

"...You are correct. Now, don't do anything rash, (Y/N). You are quite stupid sometimes." (Doctor's Pov) "What's happening? He's taking too long..."

(Y/N) has been gone for a bit now, and we're still discussing whether to go send someone in or not. Amiya was looking like she could faint anytime, such a strong-willed bunny...

Luckily she has healed for a bit, I hope this doesn't take much longer.

But something feels wrong, for all this time, my nose keeps picking up a weird scent coming from the building.

It wasn't your normal smell, it smelled... Foul.

It was like a corpse, mixed with gasoline and blood.

Maybe it was just a dead bo-

GRAAAARRHGFH

OKAY, That wasn't a normal thing to hear?!

"Amiya, Dobermann! Something is inside the building!" I shouted to them, and both of them quickly glanced toward the entrance of the building.

...What?!



"A-Amiya..!"

"Stand back Dokutah! Everyone, prepare for battle!" Amiya stood up and readied her arts, everyone else pulled out their respective weapons.

HHHRRRGHH..!

It slammed its big hand down, his mouth was disgusting to even look at.

"W-What is that thing?!" One of the Operators yelled

KA-BOOM!

A sudden explosion happened from the top of the building

...

Is that-

"ªªªªªªaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" (Y/N) Was yelling at the top of his lungs as he flew above us, crash-landing into a car

CRASH!

"Isn't this great?!" I yelled in frustration "We're back to point zero now!"
