5 minutes before Andrei and Gurren started to fight. Fiona and her Escorts are now on the east side of the capital when they notice that there's someone who is after to them.
They stopped running and wait who was the person on there back. But a few seconds later, That person showed up. A green-haired lady with a blue scarf goes near beside Fiona.
Fiona and her Escorts were surprised. When they realize that it was their guild leader.
"C-captain Margaret....." said Fiona and They saluted her.
"Ohh Fiona.. why are you here? I thought you were with Andrei.
"S-sorry ma'am, I told him to go away because I fought commander William."
"So? where is commander William now?"
"S-sorry..... I lost consciousness back then until I woke up and he suddenly disappeared."
"Ohh..... is that so... Well done Fiona" She patted her head as a sign of good work.
"Well then... Andrei is on the Eastern Gate with Gurren. isn't that right?"
"yes ma'am..... I don't know what happened but I'm here to save him."
"Yeah.. me too...I don't know if he's ok right now but we need now a reinforcement. the scouting team said that Andrei is wounded. That's why I'm in a hurry to go."
Fiona was surprised after he heard that "Andrei is in danger....sorry ma'am..... it's all my fault...."
"It's ok... we're now going to save him. it's your second chance. but first, we need a plan on how to lure Gurren."
"So that we can rescue him right?"
"yeah...." Margaret remembered something important. "Ohhh you to, you need to bail out and ask for reinforcement. we are going to rescue Andrei. And tell them that was going to do the plan B. I'm leaving those things to you..."
These teenage girls saluted her "Yes ma'am...." and then they leave.
"Let's go.... we don't have any time to waste anymore...."
"Yes ma'am!!!"

"Give me your Umugani weapon or else you'll die." Said Gurren lending his hands to Andrei.
Andrei is quite tired after that fight. but it's not all, all this time, he's fighting a Clone. it's like he didn't understand what's happening.
"Oh..... looks like you're confused why there's two of us... well, that's quite complicated...."
"Complicated?"
"Yeah... I'll explain to you why..... Look at my Spear..."
Gurren pointed his index finger on the butt of the spear. And Andrei saw a little sparkling green light. it was a Little piece of Peridot gem.
"What's that?" asked Andrei because he's confused.
"It's called a Peridot Arc. It's just a fragment Arc. it can Clone the owner of the weapon or the weapon itself. but I can only use 1 clone a week. even for weapons. it's sucks isn't?"
"Use 1 clone a week?"
"Yeah..... But to be real, there's the main arc. The main arc where you can use the power infinite times. but it hasn't found it yet. that's why I'm here to find it. but first I need your Umugani weapon because it's really important for me."
As he's talking to Andrei, Gurren touched that arc. And that clone comes inside of it. As that arc swallows that clone perfectly.
Andrei was a little bit surprised by what he saw. like a magic trick that doesn't make sense.
"Why do you want this so much. are you not satisfied with your weapon?"
"Satisfied huh... OF COURSE NOT!!!. I've been searching for that weapon for a long time!! It's been 1 year since I started finding Thain now... I'm going to get that weapon no matter what happens...."
Andrei is confused about what he said
"1 year? but we arrived in this world a month ago... are you imagining?"
"I'm different from you..... Isn't this clone said that I was part of the experiment? hay..... let me clear you... I am the 2nd General. General Gurren. One of the first players in this world. I am the wielder of Umugani weapon
"An old player? what really happens in this world??"
Andrei was surprised, he didn't expect a guy appeared a long time ago.
"Well, let's go in my main perspective, Give me that
"Give to you my weapon to assure our safety of living in this world? Don't be stupid. I will not live in this world, Not a chance!!"
Andrei speaks with full of pride.
"Well, in that case, I will forcibly pick that
Andrei activates his last sword skill. He dashed towards Gurren without any hesitation. But something odd happens. Instead of doing, he smiled and say:
"How are you going to attack me without your hand??"
Andrei heard that and he stopped running, The moment he stopped, he felt something strange. The blood splashed all over his body. like water showering everywhere.
He tilted his head towards the right and he noticed that his right arm is already at the ground. Few seconds have passed, he felt the pain. He shouted loudly as pain will never go out.
"AAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHH"
Gurren started to laugh like he's enjoying that moment. A moment of a person that is suffering in pain.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"
Andrei lay down on the ground as he feels the pain. As his blood flows out from his hand, he can't hold his tears and he just let it out. He tried to stop his bleeding by using his healing potion but due to extreme pain, he can't do anything but to endure it.
Gurren started to speak.
"If you just give me your weapon, this will not happen. I'm just trying to negotiate with you but you didn't listen and the worse is, you tried to attack me. What a brave guy.
Gurren walks towards the sword to pick it up.
"Finally!! this sword is now MINE!!"
Gurren is now picking up. his index finger touched it and something happened. He felt a shock that came back his consciousness. He stepped back a little bit because of the shock. And he started to laugh again.
"Hahahahaha. Because of obsession I really forgot that... Shame to me."
Andrei saw everything. he was a little surprised while he's enduring his pain.
"hahaha... sorry about that, I'm really obsessed with this sword that's why I forgot that thing... Anyways, you saw that, don't you?
Gurren came back to his normal stance. his proper consciousness came back and began to speak to Andrei properly.
"Did you know that there's a rule especially for the Umugani weapon wielders, 'You cannot use the other Umugani weapon if the wielder didn't give permission to use it. But there are other ways, to be honest. If I killed the weapon wielder, all of his resources will be dropped or will be transferred to someone else that was for them.
Guess what? I will give you a chance. You just need to say these words: 'Transfer Weapon unit to player ID: 1-00002. I'm telling you, this is your last chance."
Andrei didn't have any time now, he can't answer him properly because of the pain that he's enduring right now. But instead saying any word, he tried to reach his weapon
Once again, Andrei screamed loudly as another pain came up. Gurren speaks to him.
"First of all, I hate people who are ignoring me every time I speak. I really hate that!!"
Andrei felt more pain as Gurren pushed his spear to his hands as his spear goes to the ground.
"AAAAAAGGGGGUUUHHHHHHH"
As he felt more pain, the more scream he creates. his vision started to fade away. like a dying person seeing his last moments.
But Gurren continued to lecture him.
"Andrei... this is a last, say that word and transfer to me your weapon. that's simple. Say that before I price this spear to your neck. sa-"
Gurren heard him murmuring. He listened to his murmur properly. and what he heard is:
"k-k-kill m-me al-ready..."
Gurren was surprised by those words. instead, of being angry, he smiled. He was so happy. like he was the happiest guy in that world right now.
He can't hide his happiness right now. He's laughing like a madman. He's now excited to get that weapon as soon as possible.
"If that's your wish, I'll be glad I'm the one doing it!!
Gurren raised up his spear pointing to the neck of Andrei.
"NOW... DIE ANDREI!!!!!"
As Gurren pushed the spear downwards to Andrei's neck, a tiny ring blade approaches Gurren's right hand.
Gurren ignored that as he predicted that the object will not reach to him. But something happened. That thing stopped right in front of him.
Gurren was surprised and he even stopped his spear in just a moment. He tried to leap backward but someone is waiting for him to do it. A teenage girl wearing a red coat. holding her sword and she slashed it towards his back.
Gurren makes a sonic force from his toes. He did it just to doge that slash attack from his back and change his on-air position. But once again, an unexpected thing happened. That tiny ring blade is already at his top.
Few seconds have passed, that tiny ring blade popped, and a woman came out, She gripped her right hand and furiously punched him to his face.
Because of that strong punch, she even created a crater that is 10 meters wide and a ground-shaking occurs.
Few moments have passed, that teenage girl approached Andrei. She called his name continuously as he regained consciousness.
Andrei slowly opened both eyes. He saw that girl once again, It was Fiona.
Fiona started to cry as she regained consciousness.
"I'm sorry Andrei... I'm sorry that I left you... I'm sorry"
Andrei didn't understand a thing, he was asking himself. "Why is she crying to me?"
A few moments later, Her leader approached them. She was on relief because he's still ok.
"Fiona, did you already give him a potion?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Well done... now go to the portal now..."
"But how about you ma'am?"
"It's ok... Leave the rest to me..."
"Ma'am..."
A few seconds later, Gurren stands up once again. He was so pissed because of what happened.
"Dammit..... It really hurts!!!"
"Well, that's really a present for you Gurren..."
"looks like You guys pushed me towards my limits huh... well, I guess all of you will die here..."
At this moment, A General and a Leader will fight. And Andrei has been saved by them.
There are still 89 minutes left before the portal closed.
