2018, Hiltonia Town in the morning there lived a young boy sleeping in his bed. Her little sister tried to wake her up for his first day at the military academy.
"Bro, wake up!" The young girl is waking her brother. "This is your first day you remember?"
He opens her eyes revealing his black eyes. Her vision was blurred by the light of the sun shining from his window. Her sister's face appears in his sight with a smile.
"Ah Rin. Good morning…" He says.
"Come on, wake up already. You are getting late." Rin replies.
Rin wakes up her brother.
The boy wakes up and opens his phone just to see a message from someone. It's said,
To Takaya Takahashi, Congratulations, Now you are officially a student for XAG Military Academy. I'm hoping you will do your best as Vanny did.
I am really sorry you cannot meet her even though you entered the academy. Unlike others she was already promoted as an Elite Team leader and attended so many missions.
You may see Bella for more information you might need. Lastly, if you really have time to see me, just ask Bella or Lania to bring you to my place.
May you enjoy your time in the academy. Your grandfather, Orpenus.
The end of the message.
The boy's name is Takaya Takahashi. His sister's name is Rin Takahashi. They are 3 years apart from their age and both siblings are 3 years apart of their age. The boy seems to be having problems with his grandfather, although being the grandson of the world's most feared man in the world is troublesome for him.
Both of their parents died in the war 5 years ago which is their most honorable action for human beings. The boy is getting his suit and getting ready to go for his first day with her sisters helping him to prepare some of his requirements. Finally he checks his shoe to make sure it is tightened and goes to the front door of his apartment.
"Alright, I'm leaving now." Takaya opened the door.
"Take care brother, make sure you have your lunch." Rin calmly smiled at him as he leaving.
"..." He sighed.
Takaya feel's something off about Rin's expressions. "If you have something to tell me, you better tell me now." He said.
"I… I'm happy for you, After so long you've finally got your spirit back." She said,
"I'm doing this for the sake of both of you, This Cycle must end." He said
"I forgot since when you are doing something for other people's sake, But you don't have to do that, you know." Rin calmly replied.
"I…" Takaya feels guilty for his words.
"Our family is different from others, But we are human beings that live in this world on our own, Remember what mother says? We can be anything that we want, we desire, we hope."
"Maybe she wants us to live as free as we want, Be anything that we wanted, and live a better life than hers…" She said,
"I know… And this is my answer, I'm doing what I want, All I want is just peace for us." By giving that answer he walks away from the door and goes to the academy.
The boy arrives at the station and gets into the train. Sitting alone while thinking about what his sister says earlier. He was actually shocked by her sister's changing behavior where she never talked that deeply to him directly like that. Even after their parents passed away, she even never wants to remember all of the events that happened back then. Seeing her sister's cries over in a year makes him believe that the cycle of sacrifices must be stopped and change this way of life to be better. That's why he wants to join the academy and hopefully he can do something with the situation that his family has faced for a long time. And today is his first action to meet his grandfather's face to stand against him and ask him the truth. While thinking about what he must do, suddenly a young girl appeared in front of him. Wearing the same suits as him thinking she is attending the same academy as his.
"Can I sit here?" She asks him to sit beside him.
"Sure it's empty though…" He replied.
"Thanks…" She sits beside him.
Takaya continued thinking what he was but was distracted by the girl's badge on her suit. The badge symbolizes that she is an irregular student for the academy. Seeing her badge he asks,
"You are an irregular student?" Takaya asks.
"Ah… Yes… (she looks at Takaya's suit there is no badge at all) You must be new students?" The girl responds,
"Yeah, my name is Takaya Takahashi. I just entered the academy and today is my first day." He responded.
"TAKAHASHI?! THAT TAKAHASHI??? SAME AS VANNY TAKAHASHI?! ARE YOU SHE RELATED WITH HER?! MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU ARE THE TWO VIOLET WARRIOR'S SON?!" the girl shocked by Takaya's introduction.
"Ahh… (shoot) Well she's my older sister…" Takaya forgets about the people's reaction if they know about his family given name.
"Oh my god, You really are the boy that other students talk about. I thought you might look like her but you are definitely different from her…" The girl calms herself. "I'm Sanna Meguma-"
"MEGUMA?! You are Kanna's younger sister?" Takaya also shocked after knowing she's her sister's friend's younger sister.
"Yes… I've met your sister several times. But for some reason she said I cannot talk about it to other people. This is the first time I'm actually talking about it with someone and that was her brother." She responded kindly.
Knowing that Takaya finds himself in a very small world that wherever he goes people might know his family. Especially his older sister who serves as the XAG Elite team leader and their parents known as the Violet Warriors which is the given name for both of their parents for their ultimate sacrifice to eradicate the Chaosits troops with a large explosion that caused a violet mushroom cloud 5 years ago. That's why people know them as the Two Violet Warriors. Both of them were never found after that incident. As for Sanna, her sister is actually Takaya's sister's good friend, who both are in command of the XAG elite team. Sanna actually took the recommendation from Vanny to enter the academy because of her unexplained power that she shows by making people suddenly unconscious after helping her sister from a killer that tries to kill both of her parents. She took a chance to explore more about her power in the academy. Hopefully she can help her sister in the front line alongside the elite team. Finally both of them take off the train and go walk to their academy. Both of them walked and talked until they arrived but got stopped immediately by one of the irregular students.
"Seems you two are getting along well huh? No wonder two of the honorable students are quickly becoming friends." the girl said,
"Ah Asahi… We just met on the train so we walked together here." Sanna responded.
"Oh… So you met him first." Asahi replies and walks over to Takaya. "Let me see if he is as irregular as us!" She suddenly punches Takaya on her chest and throws him up far to the skies.
With her unbelievable power Takaya feels uneasy and suddenly activates his transformation. Followed by Asahi who was also able to transform herself to the armored state. Asahi was also shocked by how Takaya's transformation is really smooth even though she was not attending any studies about the unknown power he has. Especially Sanna, shocked by seeing Takaya has the ability to transform himself without having trouble with it.
"He's indeed very surprising isn't?" A girl's voice reached Sanna's ears.
"Ai! You need to stop them! It's not as planned." Sanna begs Ai to stop them.
It was revealed that they planned these events to test Takaya's ability to handle the situation but unexpectedly transformed himself without being anticipated by Sanna.
"That's why she's up there to test him." Ai said, "Asahi can handle the rest. We just need to watch it over here. I'll stop them if it's necessary."
"Eh!" Sanna stops in confusion.
Both Takaya and Asahi are up in the skies exchanging blows with excitement.
"So you indeed had the power don't you?" Asahi calmly asks Takaya.
"You also have that don't you?" Takaya responded.
"Hah. You never changed Takaya. Always never want to lose."
"Let us see which of us is stronger!" Asahi prepares herself with the unknown move that Takaya is confused about.
"Bring it on!" Takaya taunts Asahi to see what she's gonna do next.
"You are really annoying as always!" Asahi charges her power creating a ball of lights.
On the other hand Ai transforms herself in her armored state and jumps over both of them.
"Stop it right there." Ai stops Asahi.
"Ah… sorry. Bad habits" Asahi smiles at Ai and Takaya.
"What are you thinking by doing that? If you lose control again we might not be enough to stop you." Ai scolded Asahi for her reckless action.
"Lose control?" Takaya wonders what both of them talk about.
Three of them undo the transformation and land In Front of the academy entrance. Shocking everybody around while Sanna runs over them.
"We're not ever doing your plans again Asahi." Ai still scolds Asahi for her actions.
"Yeah I'm sorry… I'm sorry Takaya. I'm not meant to hurt you…" Asahi apologies for her actions.
"It's alright. I'm happy to see all of you again. Ai… Asahi…" Takaya smiles and is happy to see his friends again after such a long time.
"Wait, you guys know each other?" Sanna asks.
"Mmm. We lived together when we were still kids… but after… We moved to another place so we are not able to hang out anymore." Ai answers Sanna's question.
"Yeah, 5 years ago we lived on our own. Only Ai that frequently visits me. It was a year ago right?" Takaya responded.
"Oh…" Sanna reacts to Takaya and Ai's explanation.
They carry on to enter the academy to their classes. But Ai asks Takaya to the directors office first to meet Bella. Takaya goes separate ways from them. He finally arrived at the front of the office. He knocked on the door and enters the room only to see a woman standing facing the window.
"Nice to see you again, Takaya." The woman greets Takaya with calmness.
"I never thought I would go to this place again, Aunty.
"Hahaha… Do you really hate to see me?" She turned herself facing Takaya.
"Not like I hate you. I just hate that I am finally here to answer Grampa's request." Takaya responded.
"Here. Wear this." Giving the irregular batch for Takaya.
"Irregular batch… Why are irregular students wearing this?" Takaya asks Bella.
"The students here are divided into two types. One is the regular that doesn't have any ability to use power as the irregular one. The irregulars are trained and tested to determine if there is any sign of modified human beings or they are indeed the reincarnated ancient warriors." Bella explained with ease about the information.
"Is this to prevent the Infiltration of other organizations?" Takaya asks.
"Well you already know why you ask? After all you already did the missions from him, right? I read your reports and they are unbelievable for someone like you already taking on a task that is really dangerous like that." Bella said.
"I already know this information from my previous missions, and I am wondering if this is all the introduction of my new mission." Takaya responded to Bella's words.
"You are pretty sharp. Lania is teaching you so much about history and this mysterious power of yours. Well, she is also the assistant of the strongest warriors nowadays. No wonder you understand the situation more than me. Unlike you, I never get myself involved in this kind of thing. You children had her spirits inside you." Bella responded.
"So, what's my next mission?" Takaya asks.
"Very well. You may take a look at this. This is the file report of the recently discovered Ancient Warriors." She hands over the files following information to understand more of the situation.
Takaya reads the file that reveals the hidden information all about the world's current situation.
"So SIN now in their move to take over the remaining reincarnated ancient warriors. By forcefully injects their troops by the power of one of the warriors they acquired 3 years ago." Takaya said after reading the files.
"As the first organization that discovered the ancient ruins, your grandfather doesn't want this founding power to be used as a weapon to take over another nation. This is exactly what SIN has been doing for the past 2 years until now. Putting aside the risk powers they keep growing stronger and nearly get themselves a chance to acquire another warrior." Bella replies.
"Vanny Takahashi. I never knew my sister was one of the reincarnated warriors. But all of the information about how she obtained the power is unknown. It just says she accidentally awakened the power one night. And destroyed all the SIN troops in a single attack called Veda." Takaya quotes the files.
"You better ask her directly about that. More importantly, you and your kind are in danger." Bella responded.
"Ai Minase, Fukushima Minase is the Golden Duo. Reincarnated as half the warriors power that can create and materialize everything as their desire. Currently Ai's is the leader of the research team on XAG HQ. By using her power to materialize useful self defense tools to help XAG's troops." ~ "Azusa Azaki, foreign student that Ai brings to the academy to train her to understand and control her power potential. And now she is known as The Dawn, having an ability to make herself disappear, and control over people's bodies without losing their consciousness is very scary." ~ "Annabelle, the idol that kills her own fan caused by her fear getting raped. She awakens the power suddenly after she feels threatened. She brought her by the XAG agent and started train her, but unfortunately that awakened power has never been displayed anymore since that day. But still she potentially is the reincarnated warrior." ~ "Lastly, the most powerful and desirable one. Asahi Fukasawa, known as The Forgotten. Her ability in combat and strategy is beyond comparable to people her age. She's even offered to join the XAG Elite team for her ability. But she turned down the opportunity to join them." ~ "I don't understand why she is the one of the desirable ones." Takaya was confused.
"You will know it when you see it yourself. You fought with her this morning, didn't you? You must have noticed something?" Bella asks.
"Yeah. But I did not feel anything wrong about it." Takaya replies.
"It means about time you should find it by yourself." Bella said.
"So what's the point of the mission? What is the condition? And what will I get from taking this mission?" Takaya starts to ask the point of the mission.
"Your mission is to find your own way to solve this matter between SIN and XAG. By knowing you and friends have been targeted by SIN, you will need to find other reincarnated ancient warriors to join forces against them. It will take time to accomplish this mission, we will provide you information based on the objectives and everything you will need later on such as that file I just gave to you." Bella explained the point.
"I never thought this mission would be like this." Takaya Take a breath for a moment.
"Then what do I gain from accomplishing this mission?"
"This mission is not about gaining something good only just for XAG. But for the world, And also yourself. And people around you. You will find yourself in difficult situations that will make it hard to decide what is good for the matter. But you have us. That's why I want you to consider this mission as my request as your family." ~ "But as always you will need to move undercover. If you want to share this mission to carry on is your choice to choose whomever it is. You know better what to do with it." Bella surprised Takaya with her explanation.
"This is the first time I am given a mission this hard. But if it's for my family's sake. I will take the mission." Takaya responded and accepted the mission.
"About Asahi…" Bella suddenly stops her sentence.
"Huh??" Takaya responded
"Will you take care of her? Until she finds the way to solve her problem." Bella asks Takaya to take care of Asahi, who is her daughter.
"What are you talking about? She is older than me, so she will definitely take care of me." Takaya responded with childish answer.
Meanwhile..
Takaya roams around the academy and finds the researcher room and he enters it. The room is very nice and arranged nicely. Until he looks to the other side of the room seeing Ai sitting In Front of her laptop.
"Mind to knock next time while you are enters my room." Ai shouted.
"Sorry, I thought someone was not here." Takaya responded.
"So you already told me about the mission?" Ai unexpectedly talks about the mission.
"How do you know about it-"
"You are not the only one who is burdened with the mission." Ai cut him in mid sentence
Ai explained that she was given the same exact mission that Takaya also gave to Bella as a request. And ask her to be Takaya's helper by giving him every information he requires if he asks. Not only helping him around the mission but she also will be the fellow warrior that will also fight alongside him.
"So what happened with Asahi? You said about losing control earlier. Also Aunty Bella asked to take care of her." Takaya asks about Asahi's condition.
"As you know about us all that had already known as the reincarnated warrior that also they who hadn't determined as it. Asahi is one of them. Despite how strong and smart she is, I found her power is unique amongst us all." Ai responded
"Her body is fragile, also her mind. The power she has is growing inside of her each day. To me it looks like cancer. Watch this. (showing a video) This video was taken while she attended a special training from Lieutenant Lania 3 weeks ago. Although her tactics and strategies are not working against her she awakens her power beyond what she ever shows us. She is the first ever who awakens the powerful form, I call it the Second Shift Form. Her power multiplies more than ever and is able to defeat the lieutenant. But it affects her consciousness. You can see she is taken over by the power itself." A long explanation makes Takaya understand what happened to Asahi's power.
"That's why she asked me to take care of her in case she loses control next time?" ~ "Babysitting huh??" Takaya closed his eyes.
"Takaya. Have you seen your grandfather?" Ai asks.
"No, but I've been thinking about it today." ~ "Also I want Asahi to come along as well. And you will be my helper during that-"
"No." Ai tried to argue but stopped and declined his request.
"It is your matter. Not ours. If you need help, ask Lania." ~ "Let me tell you something Takaya. Asahi's condition is none of your concern. You don't need to put your hands on her. I already know how to solve it." Ai harshly shuts Takaya.
"What are you talking about?" Takaya asks with a scary tone.
"If you want to lay your hands on her. Find who you are first in this chaotic world. Who you will be in this unknown world of ours." Ai leaves the room.
The room suddenly went silent while Takaya was still processing what Ai was trying to say. But inside his head, there must be something that he doesn't know about the unknown situation that weirded him for the past 5 years. A voice calling for the names from his badge that he got from Bella ~ "Takaya Takahashi. Please come to the academy hall to attend the academy headmaster announcement." It says. He then leaves the room and goes to the hall. On his way he meets one of the teachers that asks him go to the locker room first to change his suit. The locker already had his name and it's the equipment that he must wear inside the academy. It's really obvious that the academy doesn't want to make the public's attention too high to see their student wear a weird suit outside. Instead they give the student the usual uniforms for them. Camouflage. He then goes to the hall and sees everyone already standing in line in front of the hall stage. There were 6 people down on the stage and 3 people up on the stage which is Asahi, Ai and Fukushima. It brings 7 people down to the stage including Takaya and Sanna. Meanwhile on the side of the stage,
"No wonder he will bring his ass here. What an easy boy he is." A girl watching over Takaya.
"Will you just line up beside my daughter? You are stealing my spotlight, you know?" another girl appeared on her back and talked to her.
"Ah, if it's not the headmaster herself. How's your day? And also surprising isn't it? We had two most wanted people here." The girl greets and addresses her as headmaster.
"The boy wonder, and the girl who is related to the traitor." the headmaster replied
"Ah there's a message from Vanny. She thinks it's time to reveal the traitor in front of her. It might be a chance to get the information from the traitor's sister." The girl gives the headmaster a message from Vanny.
"That stubborn child will never have a boyfriend if always does this. Tell her that I said that…" the headmaster chuckled.
"Rogerr!~" The girl happily received the message.
The headmaster headed to the stage to greet the 7 students. She stands facing the 7 students. And starts her speech,
"Greetings the irregular students. You may be asking yourself why the sudden call, but I have something to tell you. Some of you already know about this academy. Some of you have not. I'll shorten my explanation. You may see 3 students here on top of the stage. Asahi Fukasawa, Ai Minase, Fukushima Minase. The 3 of them are the reincarnated warriors at this current time."
Takaya is shocked that the headmaster or Bella herself reveals their identity. Not only him, the 3 and other students are also shocked.
"And you, starts from my left side, Annabelle, Saega Onami, Sagara Sarasaki, Sagiri Sarasaki, Takaya Takahashi, Sanna Meguma, and Azusa Azaki. You all have a possibility to be one of the reincarnated warriors as well. So I hope you will follow all our instructions and tests to see who one of you is the reincarnated, or a modified human being that was sent to infiltrate our academy." ~ "Lieutenant!" She calls the girl that is standing beside the stage. She walks to the middle and poses all of her great appearance, winged like capes, beautiful body armor and her signature color black to the Elite Team.
"She is the Lieutenant Lania, she's the second commanding officer for the XAG elite team, although at her young age she proved equal level to the first commander Vanny Takahashi." All the students, shocked by the sudden announced new second in command of the elite team have changed.
"You might ask why the sudden change to elite team's personnel. The answer is the past secondary commander Kanna Meguma, code name Starlight has defected. Now she is the criminal that caused the loss of humanity by the incident of the southeast war that happened 7 months ago."
Knowing this information, all of the students disbelieve that the starlight, the most liked and loved personnel of XAG, are the biggest criminal in human history.
"For the sake of you my students, you will be given special training from Lieutenant Lania as a special program to help you all understand all about your powers and what you must use the power for. Whatever you are, whatever your power is, you will be the one who saves the world."
After that "The one who saves the world" echoes in every section of the hall. With all the students' silence while trying to understand what just happened, they're dismissed.
"Everyone except Sanna Meguma. Can go!" Lania suddenly shouted. ~ "We have a lot to talk about kid." Lania jumps toward her and walks with her to the elite teams office.
Several hour later ~
Sanna exits the room with cries still in her eyes waiting to fall on her cheek. How can the day that should be a normal day for her turns out to be the worst day ever to know that her sister commits the biggest crime ever in human history.
"How's the interrogation going?" Girl voice just greets her.
"It's none of your-" She looks toward the voice from and stops after she looks at who she talks with. ~ "Asahi."
"That is my business as your leader. Come. I know you are tired of talking, but I can just let my best friend look like that." Asahi calmly tooks Sanna's hand.
Two of them walk to the roof tops. Sanna sits on the bench while Asahi sits on the concrete bench.
"So, what actually happened?" Asahi said.
"Lieutenant, asking me so many questions. She asks if I already know about the situation. Honesty I don't." ~ "Also I'm not good with my sister. Our relationship has broken down since we're kids. However, my little sister Nagisa is good with her in terms of siblings." Sanna said.
"That's weird. I think I'm the only one that has a bad relationship with our own siblings. You know, One day Belania and I fought so hard after knowing I'm not really her biological sister." Asahi said.
"What? I never heard about that…" Sanna is shocked to know that Asahi is not really the headmaster's biological daughter.
"Strangely, I never know who my real parents are… I don't even remember about myself in the past.." Asahi said.
"But did Ms. Bella tells you about your past? There is no way she wouldn't know about you at all??" Sanna logically thinks that Bella knows about her past.
"I already asked her. But she said, even if I know about my past. There's nothing Incan do about it. And instead thinking about that, why not just carry on and cherish what is now has been given and try to protect it at all cost? She told me that." Asahi responded to Sanna.
"But…" Sanna feels uneasy about it.
"I know it sounds unfair, but she did tell me the right thing. And I can once again reconcile with Bellania and be sisters again without thinking about who I am." Asahi said.
"You might be right… But if we have a chance to get to know or bring back your memory, I don't mind helping you Asahi.." Sanna said that gently with her hand grabbing and holding Asahi's hand.
"Thank you Sanna… I think if we have a chance to do it. I will find you for help." Asahi said.
"But do the others know about your condition?" Sanna ask
"Ai knows about it. Besides her, my family, and you, no other people know about it. So, keep it a secret , okay?" Asahi said.
Sanna nodded, meaning she will keep it a secret. Sanna understands that thinking about a problem too deeply will bring no end to the problem itself. The more you think of it, the more you will be drawn inside the infinity hole of darkness.
In another place, Takaya visited the middle garden of the academy. The place is known as the honorable place of the warriors that have fallen. The last place where his mother was ever seen. He honored this place as her mother's resting place that he often visits for the last 5 years along with her sister.
"At last I finally came here, Mother…"
Takaya stands in the middle of a small semi room.
"I'm sorry I'm not bringing Rin with me… I'm sure she will be happy if she is here. Also she'll be mad if knowing I visited here without her…" ~ "In case if you're asking, she's doing well, she's even going to school now. And here I Am also wearing my academy suit for study here. Although that was Grampa's request for me." Takaya looks up to the celling.
"You know mother, since I had this power everything is change. Every Time I sleep, I dream about someone's memory. That was bringing me thinking that this is the place of that dream. I feel this place is the same place as the dreams show me. Seeing you argue, I also see Van-nee arguing with you. I see another person that is also arguing with you and suddenly a bright light shines and wakes me up at the end." ~ "I want to know what the meaning of that dream is. That's why I'm asking you. But you're not in this world anymore. I wish you were here and we can live as a family again."
Takaya always says his wish every time he comes to that place. Even though he knows that nothing has ever happened every time he asks for that wish.
"I knew you must be here." Girl voice trying to reach Takaya.
"I knew you would show up here." Takaya responded.
"As expected, The Boy Wonder." The girl walked towards Takaya.
"Congratulations for your promotion Lania." Takaya congrats the girl.
"Congratulations for passing your first day as a student." Lania also congrats him back.
"So, are you here for another mission?" Lania asks Takaya.
"Yes. I can't tell you the details yet. But I need your help once again Lieutenant." Takaya asks Lania back for her help.
"Oh, what can I help you with? Information? Intel-"
"Bring me to his place. ORPHENUS." Takaya cut her mid sentence.
"Are you serious?" Lania asks him with a different aura.
"Yes." Takaya answers her.
"Is this one of your missions? Seeing that crazy old man that played your life since you were born?" Lania suddenly pushes Takaya back with winds surrounding her.
"Ironically my life is just like a puppet in the string. But tonight I will cut that string and be free." Takaya said.
"You have changed a lot… However I cannot take you there without headmaster's permissions-"
"She already trusts me with this mission. And she will support everything that I must do. And you will be my support for this mission."
"What a selfish kid you are. You just like your sister you know. Always burden me with the pain in the ass." Lania smiles.
Lania her back on Takaya and walk away from him.
"Tonight, 11 o clock. Same place as always. I'll see you here. Don't be late." Lania said.
Takaya nods and smiles after Lania says that meaning she will help him just like before he used to be. Meanwhile The afternoon has arrived, the students have left the academy. Takaya also prepares himself for leaving to get ready for his sudden visitation to his grandfather tonight. He brings his new battle suits and weapons that were provided by the academy for the irregular student for his safety and self defense. He walks towards the front door and sees a girl standing in the middle of the way, He approaches her without hesitation.
"You will go? Even though I refuse to help you?" The girl talked to Takaya.
"Yes. And you are here to stop me?" Takaya replies to the girl.
"If I do that, you'll still go, right?" The girl responded.
"Ai. Let me tell you one of my secrets. The Ancient Warrior power will give you its power if you have strong desire and hope. But my power is not doing that. For some reason I lost my control over it." Ai's eyes get wide open after hearing that to disbelieve that Takaya loses his control over his power. "What you see today is a miracle. If the power didn't activate in time, I might be dead by now. And that always happened each time I was in danger."
"So you… never have control over your power all this time?" Ai shaken voice replies Takaya after hearing that.
"Yup. And that is why I need to see him and ask him directly about who Am I, and what he made me for."
"Made you?" Ai more shaken after hearing that.
"Unlike you, Fukushima, Asahi and Azusa. You got your power because you are chosen to hold that power. But it is different for me…"
"You know about Azusa?!" Ai was more shocked that Takaya knew about Azusa's identity.
"I got my power from an experiment that my grandfather conducted 5 years ago. That's why after my parents died you see me inside the hospital room. They said I was found in the middle of the building and knocked out. That is a lie to prevent anyone's know about the real thing that happened."
"You… Why are you telling me now?!" Ai angrily asks Takaya.
"If I tell you quickly after I found out about it 3 months ago, you also will face him directly alone, Aren't you? That's why I'm waiting for the right time to tell you. And hopefully you will help me on the move."
"But, if we discussed this earlier we can find out how-"
"The control is only on him. And tonight I will free myself from his hands."
"Let me come with you!" Ai asks Takaya to go along with her.
"No. I can't risk your life, you have more important things to do."
"What…"
Suddenly the winds blow toward Ai. The sun is getting low. And the skies are getting darker and darker.
"Keep your eyes on Asahi. She might know something that we don't know. I had a feeling that she was more in danger than me."
"Why Are you doing that far for her? She's not your family or something-"
"The footage that you showed me today, the power, the aura, the color… It's the same thing that happened 5 years ago."
Open his bag and show Ai a sheet of paper that Bella gave him this morning.
"A powerful blast of energy, violet aura, and energy signature shows that time is the same that was detected 16 years ago, and it also detected 5 years ago."
"Surprisingly you showed me that video, after I read your analysis of the collected data that day. It's also the same."
"What are you saying?!" Ai confusion makes her mind can't think calmly.
"The day known as The Rise of The Forgotten One, happened 16 years ago. The person that accidentally releases the souls of the ancient warriors from their tombs, known as the first reincarnated warrior."
"And 5 years ago there must have been a war between humans and chaosits. And the two of the violet warriors died because of their sacrifice for humanity. That is what you people had been told by higher ups about that day right?"
"The day that both of your parents died. But what is the connection-" ~ "Don't tell me…"
Ai stops and realizes what Takaya is trying to say.
"Their death is not caused by that sacrifice."
W-what are you talking about?!" Ai is more confused when she hears Takaya telling that his parents died not caused by the sacrifice.
"There is a second explosion that happens that day. And after that both of my parents went missing. But people Don't know about that second explosion." ~ "I also don't know the details. But I only know this…"
"The person that releases the souls of the ancient warriors and the person who caused the two explosions 5 years ago. Is the same person. Is the first reincarnated warrior known as The Forgotten… and the person who carries its power is Asahi."
"What?!" I Was shocked by knowing that fact.
"The only person that can explain that is only him. My grandfather, Orpenus."
They are both silent for some time. What Takaya has explained makes Ai speechless to respond.
"Takaya. Why is my head suddenly hurt so much after just remembering what happened that day? Why my memories doesn't shows the same images that just tell me?"
"I was there that day, and I know what just happened, both of them died after that explosion. But there is no second explosion! I'm sure of it!." Ai trying to remember the event 5 years ago.
"Our memories are altered. And the only one who has the ability to do so is The Forgotten." Takaya answers Ai with unbelievable truth. ~ "Although this is only my opinion."
"That's why until I find out the truth, will you help me? There's a chance we might stop this tragedy. That's my only goal."
Takaya declares his goal. Only to be heard by Ai. She always knows Takaya always has unthinkable plans. And she knows she is the only one who can help him.
"Of course I will!"
With that, two of them agreed to work together solving this mystery.
