“Ah- N-no! I'm not insinuating that his arm looks interesting than yours!”

Cheng quickly clarified.

“It's just....that arm of his....doesn't look like it's the result of being a human-dragon hybrid at all. Not only that that,strangely enough I swore that I've remembered reading up about something like his arm over there in the Ancient Archives mentioning about alternate universe....”

 

[Topless]

"Alternate universe you say?" Sidney asked, her interest piqued.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“The records available are vague,but what little evidence there is suggests that years back,life had been on the brink of ruins until it had been split into different,smaller universe in order to lessen the damage waiting to be fixed. There came to be some murals depicting the events of other different universe aside from ours.”

Cheng explained before pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Personally,I thought it is rather ludicrous when I've first saw it. But now......it might change sooner or later.”

--------------------------------------------------
The citizens of Calbury were going on their usual business;farming crops,selling goods,baking,just about anything you'd think of a settlement outside of the cities. Rachelle was in her house,having just received a message from her sister regarding an update from Xenon's group.

 

[Topless]

"Xenon..." Rachelle quietly said. She is in her bedroom, sulking after she was told the horrible truth. She doesn't know if she can continue on adventuring with her companions for she feared that she might put them in potential danger, especially coming from Eden.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Outside,a group of children were play fighting near the stairway to the entrance into Calbury. As they play,one of them noticed a few military vehicles approaching the village.

“Hey....are these the "Eden" guys again?”

“I don't know. I never got to see a SUV close up like now.”

“Wait....what's that guy doing?”

One of the kids asked,taking notice of one of the soldiers emerging halfway out of the window with a bazooka on hand. The same kid soon widened his eyes in terror as his instincts all but yelled one,single,word:

Run.

“TERRORISTS!!!”

 

[Topless]

"Huh?!" Rachelle was alarmed. She gets off of her bed and looks outside to see a number of Eden soldiers armed with bazookas. "Oh no..." She is terrified "Father! Mother!" She starts running to her parents to tell them that Eden soldiers have arrived. During that time, she messages her sister.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Targets located. Now beginning first phase of mission.”

The sound of 3 rockets being fired could be heard from a distance. No sooner than later,Rachelle could hear some explosion go off some meters from her house.

“Men! Get your firearms out,and leave no survivors!”

 

[Topless]

"Why are those Eden bastards here?! Don't tell me they-" Rachelle's father gets cut off the sound of the explosions. "Quickly! Get in the basement! Where the hell is Michelle?!" He yelled and they make they way down the basement in haste. Upon entering, they lock the door.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

Even with both the front and basement doors shut,they could still clearly hear the chaos occuring outside. It was not pleasant to say the least. They could hear cries of terror and loved ones calling out for each other with anguished tone as they presumably watched their family got shot down by the soldiers above on land. At the point,one of the soldiers heard his two-way radio suddenly start beeping in an alarmed pattern.

“Panther to Hawkeye,come in.”

“We're detecting an unknown entity coming in fast towards Calbury! We'll be arriving to provide air support as soon as we- Argh!”

Right as he was cut off,an explosion,followed by several more,could be seen up into the sky. It was Eden's presumed air force that was about to help the soldiers in land until they were shot down.

“Hawkeye? Hawkeye come in! Pegasus!? Dammit! All men,hurry up with the- huh?”

He heard his two-way radio beep once again. Soon he had received a new order.

“Y-yes sir. All men! Ignore the citizens! Focus fire on the unknown enemy headed for us-”

He felt something burning penetrate his chest. Clutching his holed chest in pain,he fell down onto his knees,dropping his weapons weakly before laying dear on the ground.

“The hell!? Captain,come.in! Captain!?”

Several more men soon met their swift demise: Several beam projectiles being rained down upon the soldiers from above.

 

[Topless]

Rachelle is terrified. She doesn't bother looking outside as all she thinks of is her survival.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

After what had felt like an agonizing hour,anyone who had managed to stay hidden or were spared at the last minute by the change of orders,they've heard a male voice spoke out to them.

“The village is secured. You're all safe now.”

(No,he doesn't sound like Xenon.)

Should Rachelle had exited the basement and house to check,she would find what looks to be....a robot of sorts hovering outside with a transparent green sword on its right hand.



While he did managed to arrive in time to save the people from the massacre,he did not arrive in time to save several loved ones who had been gunned down. A fact that he is clearly aware of.

“...I'm sorry I did not make it in time for your families.”

 

[Topless]

Rachelle looked in awe at the robot that saved her village. Who is it?​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“It is quite alright,good sir.”

One of the villagers approached the robot,the latter attaching his now unused sword on the left of its waist flap.

“We're all grateful for your rescue-”

“No! Not all of us!”

One of the children yelled,kneeling beside a dead man whose eyes were wide opened while his corpse was lying on his puddle of blood.

“Why couldn't that robot come earlier!? He could've saved all of us if he didn't waste any time! My father would never have come between me and those terrorists...!”

“Young man,please. Perhaps there is something that wasn't letting him arrive in-”

“It's alright.”

The robot immediately cut in,no longer hovering as the cone on his back stopped emitting the green,soothing angelic particles that was perhaps presumably what kept him flying.

Spoiler: What the back looks like

He walked towards the child,kneeling beside the latter with his visor looking eye to eye with the kid.

“I am sure your father wishes not for you to shed your tears because of his unjustified demise. Does he not?”

“*sniffles* N-no...he d-doesn't...”

The child spoke between each sob, struggling to keep his composure. He felt the robot gently pet his head,the latter apparently being rather careful not to accidentally hit him.

“It is okay for us sentient beings to cry. But for now....do not make your father regret throwing his life away for your sake of finding happiness in this world. Do not make his sacrifice go in vain.”

 

[Topless]

"Um...excuse me..." Rachelle, while touched by the robot's kindness and affection, goes over to it and ask "As much as we are thankful for your interferance, may we know who are you?"​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“I'm....not one who is very willing to simply introduce myself to anyone,truth be told.”

The robot admitted,standing up to look at Rachelle. He was probably around 180-185cm tall,towering above everyone present in the village.

“Although for communication purposes:Scientia.”

 

[Topless]

"Scientia...thank you." Rachelle thanked.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“I don't think you should thank me yet. I have a small favour to ask if you don't mind.”

“And that favour is?”

Clearing his throat as if he was not a robot (strangely enough),Scientia soon asked:

“Can someone here please tell me where in the goodness on earth I am at now? I'm rather lost.”

--------------------------------------------------
“Sheesh......lots of scraps here too damaged beyond repair. And no leftover weapons yet either.”

Clair commented as he forcibly pried an automated door opened to check one of the rooms inside the helicarrier.

“I have a chakram and beam saber with me if you need them.”

“I'm gonna end up breaking them the moment I try using them. So I'll pass.”

 

[Topless]

"You're in Cadbury." Rachelle said. Meanwhile, at this moment, Ryutaro is getting bored with the scavenging.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“Wait....this symbol...”

Xenon muttered. Looking at the sigil on the wall within the helicarrier. It was the crest of Eden,apparently crossed by a heat weapon.

“They got downed by the storm too?”

 

[Topless]

"Huh, guess they were planning to invade Fuucho and got caught." Ryutaro said.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“I'm not sure about that....I read that back then,Eden has a tradition where by showing that they're no longer part of an organisation or anything like it,they cross the crest or sigil or any symbol of the organisation they once worked with or for.”

Xenon explained.

“If this airship belongs to a defected group of Eden then...”

“They probably got the dragon your little kid (Ruri) suggests was behind the storm to make them crash.”

Clair suggested,now coming back with what looks like a briefcase long enough to fit a sword and gun in it.

“They left something I could work with for the time being here. But yeah,if you said about about Eden wanting full control of your world is true then they're probably trying to make themselves look like the hero by acting like they could stop the dragon causing all these messes we're looking at now.”

 

[Topless]

"Those idiots..." Ryutaro muttered under his breath.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“So the other way to stop them from doing just that is...?”

“Yeah. We either snap the dragon causing the storm out of it or find the ones responsible for making it start making a huge mess. Or at worse....kill him. Kid told me the big fella wasn't actually supposed to go making these tornadoes out on the ocean,killing everyone.”

Clair added,in which Xenon's expression darkened as he stared down onto the ground.

“....Guess I have no other choice then.”

He soon looked up at Ryutaro.

“Once the airship is repaired and we get it properly maintained at Fuucho,we're gonna split into two teams with one going after the ones controlling the dragon and the other stopping it from doing anything else.”

 

[Topless]

"We are going to fight a dragon? Now that excited me." Ryutaro said.​

 

[SpaceRavens03]

“I'm guessing you're in then.”

Xenon responded,smiling confidently towards Ryutaro.

--------------------------------------------------
“So currently the world is slowly finding itself being united into one by this empire named "Eden".”

Scientia summed up from what Rachelle had explained to him. There was a funeral being held for those who had fallen during the attempting extermination,in which Scientia decided to stay in Calbury in case of enemy reinforcement.
