Chapter 42 - Broken Reality

<>

In front of the computer screen, Syira has been monitoring the battle between Vanny and Asah. Their power reading gradually increases and eventually hits the maximum peak. Soon after the beams collide the power suddenly shuts off.

"Avysaléos… What kind of power is that…" Syira said in low voice.

"Is the past Forgotten's ability. Embodied with the power of darkness. It was designed for destruction. Back then, she used it for single-handedly destroy an island full of chaosist." A voice of girl reacts at Syira,

"Of all of the people, why are you here, Zephyrus?" Syira said and turns around at the source of the voice.

Other person entered the room walk towards them,

"Rin…" Syira said,

"There is no mistake, She is back." Rin said,

Syira looked at Rin's saddened face.

Zephyrus looked at Rin, "What will you do next, Rin?"

Rin looked at Zephyrus with sharp eyes,

"There is only one thing to do…" Rin looked at the Hiltonia city map on the wall,

"Bring judgment over her sins." Rin sadistically said,

"Rin! That is unnecessary! You can just destroy the city to lure her out! Beside, Vanny and Takaya will-"

"If they're come to stop me, then I will fight them too."

"That's insane! That is not the way to correctly fix things!" Syira said angrily,

"There is no other choice! What other choice do I have?" Rin emotionally reacts at Syira word,

Heat between Syira and Rin fill the conversation

Syira gazed at Zephyrus, "And what the wise God will say about this?" Syira said with angry eyes at Zephyrus,

"There is no fixing in this Broken Reality." She said.

Syira standing up, "I'm not here for the mass destruction that you guys planned. So, Please leave this place."

Her watery eyes stared at Rin,

Zephyrus disappeared from the room,

"You're changed Rin… Is this because of your sense of justice you have, or that power?"

"You two… Destroys my training arena, wrecks my entire walls… Can you two take it easy next time we're having a spar???" Takaya talks to the girls that sitting in bed,

"Ehehe… Sorry…" Asahi blinks at Takaya,

"I can help it… Asahi is not giving up yet," Vanny jokingly reacts at Takaya,

Takaya exhales a deep breath, rolling his eyes, "So, Vanny… What are your thoughts?"

Vanny grabs an apple that is peeled by Sanna, "You guys are amazing. Especially you, Asahi. Your fighting skill and quick thinking are more superior than the others."

Sanna drops the little knife she used to peel, while she trying to grabbing the knife,

"But of course you need to learn how to control your output power. That's why the next spar will be you versus Sanna."

"Wha-" Sanna fall from her chair, surprised everyone in the room,

"Sanna?" Takaya go down and grabs her up,

"H-how the hell am I supposed to fight a maniac monster like her?" Sanna anxiously asked,

Vanny smiled, "Well, we're about to see it in the next,"

Asahi, Sanna is surprised by the word. The look at eachother,

"But the arena is destroyed…" Sanna said, but stunned looking at Takaya and Vanny smiling.

"Who ever thought this building has another secret place…" Asahi stunned by the scenery down below the hidden facility,

"This doesn't surprise me anymore. Hopefully my dear Taka didn't hide anything bigger than this," Sanna close her side eye, gaze at Takaya,

----------

"So, Asahi! Transform in that hideos- I mean inversed shift.." Vanny screamed at Asahi from afar,

Asahi once again transformed into her inversed shift with ease,

"Sanna, just as we practiced. Is time for reveal your training progress!" Takaya screamed at Sanna,

Vanny watches Sanna began her transformation,

Her body radiates a bright green dazzling lights, followed by a sparkling blue aura. Her hair pushes up by the wave of vortex created by the surging power beneath her.

Her dress materialized just like her first shift, the top gradient white and the sparkles fill the lower portion and turns into blue fabric. The skirt follows the white, her hair tip turns into blueish, her eyes gradient with brown and blue on the lower portion. Her dress has a green list of color on the chest and arms, with shoulder pads in. Displays a new look of her astral armor embodiment of her signature.

She summons her flint pistol in her right hand and her fork spear in her left hand. Gazing at Asahi very seriously, showing a different level of her.

----------

Vanny's eyes mesmerized by Sanna's new form,

"What was that form?" Vanny asked,

Takaya smiled happily by seeing the result,

"Her fully reached potential. Combined with my power and hers, it becomes a new form. I called it, Super Sonic Shift"

Takaya said,

----------

Asahi is stunned by the difference that Sanna displays. But her expression changes after looking at odd lights fading away from her,

"That light… Is that Takaya's…"

Asahi said,

"...." Sanna did not react by her words, instead she posing as of she ready to fight Asahi,

"Ho… Seems like you want to have some of it. Well, what are you waiting for…" Asahi summons her shield in her right hand and her sword on her left hand,

"Come-"

Suddenly a ceiling breaks down, surprising the four of them. Like it was crashed by something.

Sanna with her speed rushed herself avoiding the crumbling ceilings, Asahi on other hand standing still looking at the source of the destruction

Takaya already on his first shift protects Sanna from the crumbles, while Vanny appears behind Asahi, widely open her eyes stunned by the scenery,

Two lights suddenly appeared from the top of the ceiling, coming down to the ground slowly. It slowly forming a two familiar silhouette,

"It can't be…" Vanny anxiously voice speak to herself,

"Vanny, What is that?" Asahi gazed at her but realised her face showing of a huge problem,

"VANNY!" Asahi screamed at her,

---------

"Vanny Takahashi, Takaya Takahashi, Sanna Meguma and Asahi Fukasawa." A familiar voice speaks to them but only Vanny recognised the voice,

The light fade away and reveals the person behind it,

"Zephyrus…. And…" Vanny couldn't recognise the other person.

A masked girl with a red crimson dress. Long loose black hair.

Vanny clenched her hand, trembling her feet, sweating, terrified by the sudden appearance of the two goddess that night she see,

"W-What brought you her, Zephyrus?!" Vanny asked the goddess,

"You know them?!" Asahi turns her eyes on Vanny widen her eyes disbelief what she just heard,

Zephyrus gaze on everyone in the area. Especially for Asahi. There's no doubt about her sudden appearance for. Walking down the stairs of stone and debris of ceiling she broke towards Asahi with an unknown expression that was closed by her big orb-like helmet.

"We meet again." Zephyrus voice echoes to her ears,

Takaya and Sanna is about rush for Asahi,

"Stay. You're not the person who she wants to talk with."

The Crimson goddess draw her sword upon Takaya and Sanna.

Takaya clenched his hand, stared deeply at the crimson goddess. Sanna trembles to hold her pistol, try not to draw it to the goddess in front of her.

"Zephyrus, this is not the time-"

"The time has come for the judgment. And no denying it anymore. The former girl that has been gone just returned. I wonder how she is able to hide it so well for this long?" The goddess wing touches Asahi's cheek as if it was a hand.

With no reaction, Asahi stood still, casually stared at Zephyrus with no fear.

"I got busted earlier eh…"

On hearing that word, Vanny's eyes widen, drops her jaw, completely crushed,

"A-Asa…gi?" her nervously voice call the name,

"Sorry, Sister…" The girl with many names said,

Stifling. Truly unexpected even for Vanny to hear the word. Contented yet scared, she grabs the girl shoulder with her trembling hands,

"Don't do anything stupid more than this!" she seethingly said to her,

The girl turns her head and glowering at Vanny,

"Stay away from my ways,"

The yellow haired girl irritated by the word, strongly grabs the shoulder, "Asag-"

A powerful gust of wind pushes the two. Without realising a crimson sword already in the girl's neck. Another goddess already in front of her with furious aura.

While Takaya and Sanna almost didn't see that,

"Stop this meaningless thing. Or face the consequences,"

Casually grabbed the sword with her right hand, the girl pulls the sword so their face are close enough,

"God doesn't interfere with human things. If you consider yourselves as a God, then don't create us powerful enough to destroy the world!"

The girl kicks the other Goddess, followed by a sound of impact. Huge cloud of debris flying around.

"W-What have you…." Vanny said with fainted voice,

The cloud cleared fast, She stood from the blow slowly. The goddess right checks are bleeded. Signifying that the goddess is false.

"Hm. What kind of a God that bleeds,"

Zephyrus laughing out loud. Everyone is surprised by her absurdity. She suddenly stop laughing and flies up,

"Hear me, Humans," with voice of menace and authority echoes,

Suddenly Asahi, Takaya and Sanna astral armor dematerialized. The four of them froze, their feets trembles,

"Today will be my first warning, especially to you, The Forgotten Princess, I expect some change of heart and ways."

The other Goddess furiously launched herself at Asahi but being holded by Zephyrus raised of hand,

"One week. Consider your actions. Asahi Fukasawa."

The two goddess flies away,

"Wait!!" Asahi screamed faint,

Zephyrus stopped and looked at her,

"Who the hell are you… Dares to correcting my ways-"

On hearing that, she flies down closing at Asahi,

"I can easily strip your useless disguise. But given your hard working trick for all of this time, I respect you."

A bright light shines on her face and she suddenly falls unconscious.

"I'll see you again." She flies up fast.

The other Goddess looking around at the three and she flies up follows Zephyrus.

The effect suddenly disappeared, they can move their body. While Vanny reaches Asahi, Takaya and Sanna runs to her,

"Vanny!! Are you alright?" Takaya asked worried,

"I'm… okay," she said,

"What happened? We couldn't hear you guys talking with that…"

"What do yo- That loud and clear conversation, you didn't hear it?!" Vanny asked,

"No, not even I can hear it…" Sanna replied her,

"That can't be-"

"Vanny, what is going on right now, you need to tell me,"

Vanny slowly raises her head looking straight at Takaya,

"The Judgment…. of this broken reality is coming…"
