It was a night with a bright full moon.

Ryu woke up from his sleep.

"Where is this?"

After Riyu opened her eyes, she was a little confused by the situation. Not in any other sense, but in a real sense. He was completely confused since he was alone in the middle of the forest. No one was there, not even Mei should have been there.

He still remembers that Mei caught him when he lost his consciousness. So, logically he should have been in his room greeted by the beautiful smiles of his two wives.

"Could it be, May left me here? No no no no. That's not possible. He wouldn't do something like this to his girlfriend. Don't you?"

Riyu thought she was left in the forest by her lover, but quickly threw away the thought because it was obviously impossible.

There was no way a gentle and warm woman like Mei would do that to him.

He thought for a moment about another possibility, but he was still a little confused.

“Well, at least I know this place. I guess it's not far from Yozora City.”

After saying that, Riyu started walking slowly down the forest, towards Yozora City.

On his way, he also observed more closely. As he got closer to the city of Yozora, he noticed something strange in front of him.

“Hem? Whatisit? The light? Is the city doing a celebration or something? Well, it's possible. After all they've escaped the.”

Ryu stopped talking when he heard something else, and it was definitely not a celebration.

It was a bad thing if what Ryu heard was the truth.

Without a second thought, Ryu ran at full speed until he finally found the light to come out of the forest, then.

“WHAT HAPPENED!!.”

Ryu was shocked by what he saw.

What he saw was the destruction of the city of Yozora. It might not even be recognizable anymore as a city due to its devastating destruction.

The city of Yozora currently has buildings destroyed and burned. You can also see the bodies of city dwellers and ETER Union officers lying along streets and buildings.

Moreover, various screams of pain and cries of despair could be heard even from a great distance away.

“How can this happen!!!”

Riyu walked into the city of Yozora and looked at the buildings around her in disbelief. Various buildings can not be recognized anymore, one of which is the places that Riyu had visited during his date with Maya.

“Mother..”

As Ryu continued down the street, he heard the sound of a crying child calling for his mother.

Hearing that, Riyu quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

Upon arriving, he saw a little girl sitting leaning against the wall with a pale face. In front of him was a corpse that was likely his mother. If Maya saw the girl, she would recognize her as the little girl she helped before.

But at this moment, the little girl did not have a sweet smile, but a frightened face because in front of her were 2 Eternites who were ready to finish off the poor girl's life.

“Eternite? Didn't I destroy them? I also stopped the Space Crack before I went to Yozora City.”

Riyu was further confused by what she saw and it made her heart rate increase even more.

“This is not the time to think hard! The little girl is in danger.”

Riyu quickly ran towards Eternite.

And once he was within striking range, he attacked the Eternite, but his attack only ended up breaking through the Eternite without inflicting any damage.

“Sial what happened!!!”

Riyu shouted in annoyance at his attack as if it was piercing through Eternite's body.

“Please... Mother..’.

The girl gets more and more frightened and when the monster wants to take his little life. Suddenly, the Eternite was burnt by a fiery red flame.

“Senpai? Why is he here? But why do I feel like there's something wrong with him. Wait what he will do.”

Ryu looks at Scarlet who seems different than usual.

He was not surprised by Scarlet's strength because he had expected it before.

Merely, this time he was shocked because Scarlet had red eyes, and a turbulent aura. He was like a raging fire that was ready to burn whatever was in front of him.

From his expression, he looked like he was trying to control his strength, but could not. He wanted to burn everything, anything in front of him to quell the anger of his current strength.

If analogized then, he was thirsty in the hot desert, and saw a water bottle in front of him, but tried to restrain himself because of others who had the water. And in the end, his instincts controlled his body to take that water.

In his hand was a red flame, it was likely that he would use it to burn the girl's little life.

Regardless, if one looked at his face more thoroughly, then one would see the tears that kept falling. Only, it quickly evaporated into air. Right, Scarlet is currently crying.

“No, Senpai! Don't do it!!”

Riyu moves to prevent Scarlet from turning everything around her into dust. However, he was late and in an instant whatever was around Scarlet became dust, that included the little girl.

“A-a-apa.”

Ryu was so shocked that he could not think clearly. Even he did not realize that there was something strange about him for not getting burned.

“What are you doing!!!”

Ryu cannot control his emotions. She wanted to stop Scarlet only to stop because she saw Scarlet crying. Indeed, Scarlet cried as if she had indeed realized that she had committed a great sin.

“AAAA!!!"

Scarlet shouted while holding her head with both hands, as if she felt very guilty about what she was doing.

Riyu realizes that Scarlet may still have a little consciousness, even though she is consumed by the fury of her powers. When she wakes up, then can Scarlet forgive herself? Obviously, that's a silly question.

After Scarlet's cry disappeared a few minutes later, she raised her head again, staring forward as if looking into Riyu's eyes.

Scarlet's gaze was filled with despair, sadness, and anger. But she did not fully stare at Riyu, as if she was looking at someone else.

Riyu turned back and saw what Scarlet was actually seeing.

It was the huge Eternite that Ryu had fought before against the black Eternite.

“The big internet is alive?”

Riyu turned back to look at Scarlet then she saw a black Eternite was behind her.

“Senpai Watch out!!!”

Riyu could do nothing but yell at Scarlet.

And that's when Ryu starts to realize something is wrong. Scarlet completely ignored him, no, as if she herself was invisible or perhaps not really here.

And it was then that he realized that there was something wrong with him or rather with this world.

The last thing Ryu saw was a black flame covering his vision. And after that, what Riyu saw was replaced by another scene. It was a chaotic situation in the ETER Union.

“All the troops we sent have been annihilated. Only S agents are left at the moment against 2 A-grade Eternite.”

"Why can't we detect the true level of that Space Crack!"

“We are still figuring out.”

“Sial!! Too many are victims. And it was even done by-”

“Shut!!!”

Before the male attendant finished his words, a woman coldly intruded on him and it even stopped all the ongoing commotion.

When Riyu turned to look towards the source of the voice, she saw a beautiful woman in laboratory clothes and rectangular glasses. Looks like a professor or a scientist.

“Do as I command and all current information will be grouped into strictly confidential. So, no one is allowed to mention anything.”

“Ready! Commander!”

Ryu seemed to gain enlightenment about what was happening at this moment. There was nothing he could do but look up and exhale heavily.

“Begukah.”

Ryu then sees the beautiful woman again, and though he knows that the woman does not see her. He kept smiling and said.

“It seems that you also kept a secret from me, sensei.”

And instantly the view turned into a room.

“Hah... huh... hah.”.

Riyu opened her eyes quickly followed by a gasping breath from her mouth. There was sweat all over his body, as if he had just been exercising, or.. having a nightmare?

The dreams?

I dream?

Did ya?

“What really happened?”
