Within the Forest at the Outskirts of the Mountain Region. The Night has befallen over the World. Darkness engulfed the whole world with only the Moon and the Stars as its light above the heavens. The Breeze of Wind was cold and chilly. The Passing Fluffy White Clouds created Giant Shadows that created a Mobile Eternal Darkness. It was a Peaceful Night with silence all over it. But within the Night that conquered the World would be the start of the End.
In the Forest was a Giant Patch of Land. There were numerous craters within it which signified that a disaster struck the area. Within the center of the Giant Patch of Land was a Small Figure. The Fluffy White Clouds covered the Center of the Giant Patch with Eternal Darkness, but as time passes by, The Shadows of the White Fluffy Clouds slowly move away with the Fluffy White Clouds. The Center of the Giant Patch of Land finally got revealed. Within its center was a Little Girl with White Silver Hair.
The Little Girl with White Silver Hair had Golden Amber Eyes, which glowed within the Night. She recently woke up from her Slumber. It has been a month since she managed to take a good look at the area around her. It seemed that her training caused more destruction than expected. The Little Girl sighed and looked at the Heavens. There were little to no stars, and the Moon shone brightly. The Little Girl felt strange after seeing the Heavens of her World. She felt that something was missing.
'It's been a while since I move my body.' Rogue began stretching her body. The Cold Breeze of Wind didn't bother her. She felt free after ending the Core Training. It took a lot of time, but it wasn't that much compared to the normal training duration. While Rogue stretched her body, she remembered something important. It was the Awakened Abilities she could gain from Evolving her Core.
'I should take a look at my Archive.' Rogue thought to herself as she opened the Archive. A Screen Window appeared in front of her, and she quickly noticed the change within it. A smirk slowly appeared on her face. She couldn't help but feel excited after seeing the Awakened Abilities she got from the Evolution.

"Copy and Paste?" Rogue mumbled to herself after seeing the New Awakened Ability in her Archive. Even though Rogue only saw it once, She easily understood what kind of Awakened Ability it was. She disappeared from her spot and appeared at the edge of the Giant Patch of Land. She looked at a Tree and activated her new Awakened Ability towards it.
Rogue had a curious expression plastered on her face. She felt energy seeping out of her body, and a Bright Light illuminated in front of her. She looked at it intensely, and an exact copy of the Tree appeared in front of her. 'Wow...' A Single Thought passed through Rogue's mind after seeing a Copy of the Tree. It was her Reaction to the Awakened Ability. It would be useful for Rogue in the future or probably now.
"It's time for me to go back," Rogue mumbled while looking in the direction where her Main Base got constructed. She left the Main Base for a Month. She wondered what happened when she was out of the Main Base. With this in mind, She then walked towards the Main Base. It was quite far, but thankfully she had her Armament Footwork to help her.
'I should use 100% of it to be faster.' Rogue thought to herself as she charges her feet. The Armament Footwork was stronger than before. It was due to the Core Evolution and the Amount of Primos Energy she could store within it. After charging her feet, she then began charging towards the Direction of her Main Base.
A Bright Light illuminated from her spot, and Rogue appeared a Kilometer away in an instant. She looked back as the Trees began uprooting from their place. Numerous Dust, Rocks, Boulders, Grass, Ferns, and Trees flew to the Skies. There was a Giant Line of Deep Dirt caused by Rogue's Armament Footwork. The Power of the Footwork was quite shocking.
"I should lower it to 25%." Rogue shook her head and continued charging towards the direction of her base. She wanted to see her Main Base as the Heart within her chest felt heavy after the conversation with the Voice. Everything around Rogue was slow as she could sometimes see the Water Droplets levitating. She didn't know what the conversion was, but she could tell that it was pretty slow that everything looked like it stopped moving.
'The Voice is hiding something from me.' Rogue thought to herself as she furrowed her eyebrows while running in the Forest. She knew that the Voice was hiding from her. The Strength reasoning was obviously flawed, but Rogue played through it without any problem. Trying to antagonize the Voice would be a Bad Idea. A Planet would probably head towards her if she tried to do such a thing.
'There is nothing I can do about it. I should get stronger without any thoughts outside of power.' Rogue thought as she smiled within her mind. There was no use in getting paranoid about reality. It would only hinder her instead of helping her. 'I will let the Future Rogue handle the Problem.' That was Rogue's thought about her Paranoid Problem. As she ran across the land, Rogue felt a Bad Feeling within her heart.
'Why does my Heart feel heavy despite my advances of forgetting the problem?' Rogue asked herself. She was quite sure that she moved on from the Problem, but her heart still felt heavy. Rogue didn't know why she felt such a thing, but it was trying to tell her something. With this in mind, Rogue continued traversing the Land with a Heavy Heart of her Chest.
Rogue continued running through the Land at a Fast Speed. She continued running until she reached the cliff. She jumped out of it and continued running through the Land. She could then see lights in the distance. It was the Sign of Civilization or the Sign of her Main Base. Seeing the Lights within the distance, Rogue smiled as she was finally home.
She arrived at the Front Gate of the Main Base. Numerous Cameras looked at her, and the Main Metallic Gate slowly opened. The Interior of the Main Base finally revealed itself. Rogue was quite surprised at what she saw. There were Numerous Factories and many more Facilities. There were even more Droids and Monsters roaming around the Base. It was only the Main Entrance of the Base. She wondered what the Center of the Base looked like.
"This is unexpected," Rogue mumbled to herself as she stopped using her Armament Footwork. Rogue entered through the Main Gates. She didn't notice that she left a Trail of Line behind her, but that wasn't a problem for Rogue. She then found herself in the middle of the road. Numerous Droids stopped moving and bowed towards her. The Monsters also bowed towards her, and their Voices be heard within Rogue's Hivemind.
*The Emperor's Back!!!* *The Emperor is also a lot stronger than before!!!* *All Hail the Emperor!!!* There were a lot of reactions. Rogue smiled after hearing them as she noticed that the Monsters haven't changed despite her lack of appearance within the Main Base. 'Well, It has been a Month. There is no need to expect that much of a change.' Rogue thought to herself.
"Continue..." Rogue spoke with a calm tone as all of them continued what they were currently doing. Rogue then looked in the direction of the Center and walked towards it. It would take a lot of time, but there was no need to be impatient. Rogue calmly walked as she felt something within her chest. 'Why is it heavy?' Rogue asked herself within her mind. The Heavy feeling within her Heart got heavier than before.
'Tsk... This feeling is getting annoying.' Rogue clicked her tongue and thought of the annoyance within her chest. She shook her head and continued walking towards the Center of the Main Base. After a while of walking within the Main Base, Rogue finally arrived at the Center of the Main Base. The Factory Lights lit up brightly as always, and Rogue saw two of her Main Subordinates waiting for her.
"Exodus, Typhon... It's been a while since we've met." Rogue said with a smile plastered on her face. Exodus and Typhon then bowed towards her. The Typhon turned downwards while Exodus the Giant Harvesters created a Small Earthquake with his Bow. "I'm happy to see you, Master." *Emperor, I am happy to see you.*
"There is no need to bow. I should be thankful to the both of you for managing the base without me." Rogue said as she walked towards the two of them. There were numerous Droids within the Factory. It seems that the Main Factory has been building a lot of things while she was gone. Typhon then shook its Metallic Ball and spoke respectfully.
"There is no need for the gratitude, Master. It is our duty to protect our Master's belongings." Typhon was quite respectful of her words. Rogue shook her head as she expected this to happen. She then walked towards Typhon and hugged the Metallic Ball. Typhon was flabbergasted at what happened as it seemed as the Metallic Ball was shaking. "Thank you." Rogue was thankful that she had people she could come back to.
"Also, thanks for protecting the Base, Exodus," Rogue said towards Exodus. *There is no need to praise the Emperor's Servant. I am doing this not for praise. It is the duty the Emperor herself has given to me.* Exodus replied with an Ancient and Monotone Voice. Rogue sighed and spoke. "I'm thankful for that." Exodus and Typhon were in silence. They felt that something happened when Rogue was away.
"Is there something wrong, Master?" Typhon asked in curiosity as Rogue shook her head with a smile. "There is nothing wrong. Not seeing you for a month just took a toll on me." Rogue said with a calm tone as she walked towards the Main Gate of the Factory. She entered through it and saw numerous Droids building something within it. "The whole place is quite clean and beautiful," Rogue mumbled after seeing the interior of the Main Factory.
Rogue then felt the Heavy Feeling within her Heart once again. She placed her Small Hands on her chest as she listened to her beating heart. She didn't know what was happening within her chest. It was getting severe as time passes by. 'Did the Core Evolution fail?' Rogue asked herself as she didn't know where the Heavy Feeling came from.
"Does your chest feel Heavy, Master?" Typhon asked with her typical monotone voice. Rogue nodded in agreement as Typhon's words were the truth that was happening within her body. Rogue then said with a calm tone. "Yes, It feels Heavy. I don't know where this Feeling comes from." She wanted to stop the heavy feeling, but it wouldn't disappear.
"Typhon, Did something happened to my Core?" Rogue asked as she was curious if this was normal or not. She didn't have any knowledge of a Heavy Feeling within one's Heart after a Core Evolution. It was quite hard for Krieg to have Physical Disabilities as their Body would automatically heal them. Rogue then noticed that Typhon didn't answer her question.
"Typho-" Rogue turned around and felt something sharp piercing her body. She looked at the attacker and saw the Metallic Ball. 'Typhon?' That was the thought within Rogue's mind during the attack. She felt her blood escaping from her Body. She fell to the ground as she felt her body paralyze. She couldn't move a single muscle. She looked at Typhon for a moment as she didn't know how to react to the sudden betrayal.
"Wh-...why?" Rogue asked as she coughed blood on the Floor. She felt weak for the First time as she felt her Heart weakening. Rogue then remembered one of the descriptions of the Skills she got from Darius. It was Hostility Detection and Danger Sense. The Two Skills would affect her body in any way to warn her of any danger. 'I failed to sense the Danger despite the Skills giving me a warning.' Rogue thought to herself as she heard Typhon's monotone voice echoing in her ears.
"The Loyal Program has started, Master..." Typhon answered as Rogue's body got repeatedly stabbed over and over again.
