It's 7 PM, Asahi brings Sanna to the S.V facility to give her a lot of explanations about Asahi as she promised. But unexpectedly when they ran into people running away on the street, Asahi crashed into some guy that ran to her. Wondering about what is going on she asks what happened but the guy just ran away scared.
"Asahi! You okay? Helping Asahi stand up.
"I'm fine, thanks…" Asahi looked at the people running away once more, "What is going on…"
Asahi then receive a phone call from Ai,
"(Picking up the phone.) Ai-"
"Asahi! You see what happens?!" Her voice panicked.
"Yeah, but didn't know what happened-" She stops after seeing a humanoid being that they have never seen before, "Speak of the devil, I just see the main cause."
"Asahi, just run! Don't try to fight it!" Ai shouted in panic.
"The hell?! I can't just run-"
"That is not a Chaosits! It's a Tyrant! A biological weapon that SIN made! We don't know how to deal with it, just run now!" Ai desperately tries to stop Asahi to strike the Tyrant.
Asahi snapped and pulled Sanna away from there running in the opposite way they must to save themselves. But without they're aware, the Tyrant jumps in front of them and.
"What?!" Asahi is surprised.
"Asahi, what is that thing?!" Sanna asked her in a frightening way.
"You ask me?! I don't know either!" Asahi responded naturally.
Tyrant move approach them and raised it's hand towards Sanna, both of them frozen because they don't know how to do,
"Stand aside if you don't want to die."
They heard A girl's voice. Asahi reacts by pulling Sanna to cover her and transform her into astral armor.
A purple light covers her body and also Sanna. A dark energy suddenly hugs the two of them. Feeling uneasy Asahi looked at the Tyrant but the thing was already tearing apart like it was slashed. The dark energy became one behind the falling Tyrant and formed to be a girl's silhouette then vanished away.
"Demon…" Asahi whispers.
"(Grabbing Asahi's hand.) Asahi, That girl is Saega." Sanna said that trembling.
"Now shits are going to fall apart…" She hugs Sanna and a purple light shines brighter and brighter until Sanna cannot see anything.
A hard dropping sound heard by Sanna. Unknowing what is happened she tries to open her eyes,
"What is going on?"
While she opened her eyes she saw Asahi lying on a metal floor unconscious..
"ASAHI! ASAHI!"
"Don't worry, she's just exhausted." Ai said.
"Ai? Is that you?!" Sanna, surprised to see Ai, "What is this place?! Where are we?"
"This is S.V facility. I'll tell you later, help me carry her."
—------
An hour later, Ai's explanation makes Sanna understand about the situation. Takaya also explains XAG and S.V problematic and also the information regarding her sister's condition. While waiting Asahi awakes, Sanna and Takaya having a chat inside his office,
"So, Sanna, do you have something in mind to ask?" Takaya asked her.
"So far, I am kinda confused about all of this…" Sanna is innocent, she never thinks about that.
"Is understandable that you are confused, is up to you whether or not you want to believe it or not." Takaya understand that this all too sudden for her, after being attacked and broughted there unprepared, "But beside all of that, the reason you need to keep in mind, is about your power."
"(Holding her hands.) I hate to break it to you, but I can't feel my power anymore." Sanna said.
"N-no!." A girl's voice shouted while opening the door, "You never feel it, but it's actually flowing in you."
"Asahi! I told you to take a rest!" Ai, goes after her and places her on a chair.
"What do you mean? I even-"
"While on combat practice, you and I have a gun fight and you can spot where I am and my shot, Out of that, your bullet is even faster than a normal shot even makes my hearing fail me." Asahi said that while trying to hold herself,
"You're not aware of it because you lack experience and confidence." Takaya said.
"Sanna, follow me." Fukushima exits the door, everyone also walks out following Fukushima.
They go to an advanced training ground.
"(Handing a armband.) Place this." Fukushima gives the armband that he and Ai developed to help her.
"What is this?" Sanna places the band on her left hand.
"That is a special armband that I and Ai created to help you control your power, it has the same principle as a D.V device that can create attack or defensive Imaginary weapons." Fukushima explained.
"Now Asahi, do your thing-"
"No Fuku, she is still can't-"
"No! Let me do it." Asahi cuts them and walks to Sanna.
Asahi holds Sanna's hand,
"Sanna, I'm going to force you to transform like that time, but first you need to focus and try to let the power flow to the band." Asahi glows a purple light arounds he hand,
"Close your eyes, try to feel the power flowing."
"I feel it…" Sanna tries to concentrate the power to the armband.
Sanna glows a green light around her body, and the band lights a green light for a sign that the armband is already full with the power. Suddenly the green light is brightened followed by a loudly birds screaming. She transformed to her astral armor form. Shows her form a black and green shaded, black shoulder pads, and wears gunmetal colored crown.
"Transformation succeeded, Sanna now on her first stage of transformation." Ai confirms her state after transformation. "By this transformation you will be able to use your power, all you need to do is just imagine what you are going to do." Ai said.
Asahi suddenly transformed to her first stage astral armor. A purple dress with an open cut from her chest down to her belly button, armored shoulder pads, and a shield on her right arm, and katana sword on her left hand.
"Now I have a chance for a fair rematch." Asahi smiled at her.
"Asahi-"
"Don't worry, I am also using the band." Asahi said that and pointed her sword to Sanna, "I'm coming Sanna!" She rushed to her with a super speed.
The duel begins with Asahi trying to strike Sanna, unaware of the situation Sanna tries to dodge Asahi's attack trying to move as fast as she can. Surprisingly she dodged Asahi first and second swing, but not stopping there Asahi intended to kick Sanna, but shockingly she easily dodged the kick and jumped to Asahi's back and made a distance between them.
"Sanna is able to dodge all of my attacks easily, As I thought she is talented." Asahi speaks inside her mind,
"(Looked at Sanna) To think that you are able to dodge my attacks, how about if I shoot you with this?"
Asahi pointed her shield on Sanna, the shield glows purple energy and it surges with an incredible amount of power, and suddenly the energy shoots with a loud bangs. The energy is like a projectile moving faster towards Sanna. Unable to dodge this attack Sanna poses a shooting position and slowly a green light glows around her hands. She made herself like she was holding a pistol and suddenly the glowing light morphed to be an old pistol and shot a green bullet that was moving faster and collided with Asahi's. The two powers exploded and made a loud sound.
After that explosion, the power scattered to vanish. Both Asahi and Sanna still remain in their poses. While Takaya, Fukushima and Ai were surprised by their fight.
Takaya walks to Asahi,
"That's enough." Hold Asahi's hand, "It's your limit."
Suddenly Asahi swing her shield to Fukushima but he dodged it
"Asahi!" Ai shouted to her.
Asahi unexpectedly attacks Fukushima. Takaya realized her behavior changed, he ran to Sanna to defend her in case bad things happened.
"Keep your guard still, I have a bad feeling about this." Takaya said to Sanna.
"I also think that way, Asahi looks weird." Sanna has the same thoughts as Takaya.
"Ai, Fukushima! Don't try to talk with her! Focus on taking her down!" Takaya warns them.
Asahi stands with a closed eye. She didn't move or say anything, the area suddenly fills with a dark energy.
"This energy fluctuations, this is the Demon's power!" Ai said loudly.
"No… This is.." Her reaction is unsure about Ai's thoughts.
Asahi laughed and showed a different personality, The others felt uneasy about the atmosphere that Asahi was showing.
"So you're all gathered here, I didn't expect there to be a place like this under an ordinary building." Asahi's voice sounded as if there were two people talking.
Asahi opened his eyes and saw that Asahi's eyes which were previously brown had become red.
"Saega! Show yourself! Get out of Asahi's body!" Ai shouted at the figure inside Asahi.
"(Laughs.) Saega? Who is she? I am Asahi, I am the shadow that is always inside her." Those words made everyone confused about what was happening.
"I will warn you all, one day you will realize that I am not the person you think, one day you will point your sword at me, and when that happens I will finish you all off-" Asahi suddenly stopped talking and fell, making everyone shocked and ran to her.
Sanna was silent and felt that there was something strange about Asahi, this incident proved that it was not Saega's doing but that it was Asahi herself who was speaking.
"Asahi…"
