The occasional sound of metal colliding could be heard through the rain. Two people clashed at the dilapidated building filled with holes from their battle. It's brittle walls shook every time the two would meet. The rain would enter through the cracks. Flooding the room making appear more worn down. Quick footsteps were heard as their boots would splash at the puddles formed by the storm.Skadi noticed that Setsuna's figure would flicker as her punches would go through her afterimage. She would then reappear at her blind spots wounding her albeit shallowly. Her instincts would warn her where the next strike would be.This however didn't frustrate her, instead made the atmosphere she gave off was unbearably thick. Almost depriving the oxygen of those who felt it, further increased by the stench of iron.She threw smoke grenades towards the ceiling and walls to obscure both their vision. Yet as if Setsuna could see through the smoke, she cut all the wires Skadi weaved. She dashed strai

Deep Space.In the orbit of Scylla 8-b, A Large Gunship hovered over. It's massive frame wasn't noticed by the authorities that patrol the orbit. It was cloaked blending in with Scylla 8-b's night sky. When one looked towards the sky they would only see a blurry cloud."Are you sure she's here?" The Argothian man asked as he stared at the coordinates Aurora punched in. However Aurora just shrugged, "She contacted this ship directly. If she's not her then where the hell else? Besides I heard rumors of Desmond being here too."The masked man scoffed as he heard Baldr's name. "So he could run away again? He's going to decline. It's in his nature." He said in his slightly mechanical voice. Sjor'kai narrowed his eyes, "We need all the help we can get. If he says no, then so be it. Besides didn't Miri leave before everything went down?""That's different. She's different." He said as he stared in the planets night view. He could see through the atmosphere as the night lights were brighter t

The constant noise from her wrist drive resting on her bed side's drawers kept on playing the same music each time it vibrates. Nex turned around ignoring the annoying sound as she kept sleeping.However as if she forgot her new roommate, she was gently nudged to be woken up. She frowned but she got up. Rubbing her eyes as she yawned she checked the holo-clock on her wall.9:00 A.M.She raised her eyebrows towards the one who woke her up, "Blair... It's too fucking early." However the Android girl just tilted her head. "Ms. Alessandra is calling." She said as she patched the call on Nex's wrist drive. She then handed it over to her."Hello, Ms. Nex how've you been?" Alessandra's voice echoed in her ears. Nex suppressed her yawns as she answered, "Well, I've been waking up, if that's what you're asking." Alessandra chuckled. "You sound a little sour. Got rejected?"Nex scratched her hair, "Stop stalking me..." She said simply. "I didn't, I don't peek on my employees private life. Your

[Originally mortals were created only with one magic circuit and that's it. However some would create more in attempt to become stronger, killing themselves in the process. It makes me wonder how you survived until now.]He said as he laughed, [It truly amuses me how amazing humans are at defying the gods! How beautiful! How poetic!] He then continued probing the second circuit.[Yours however was created naturally?...No. It isn't, someone perhaps tampered with it before you were even born. At birth it probably lay dormant until it was jolted awake by a stream of Mana. However it was nothing but Mana residue. It corrupted your Mana circuit turning it into something else entirely. It pulsates energy from the void. It's nothing and everything at the same time.I do not know of it's capabilities as of now, but over the years it has been trying to merge with your original circuit, It looks like a single circuit slowly being corrupted, but I assure you it's separate. Creating constant str

Luckily as soon as Nex entered Nadja just pulled the operation blinders across covering Skadi's entire body. It hid her behind the thick fabric, making her heave a sigh of relief. However, knowing the Devil May Care attitude of Nex she still stuck her head inside to take a peek and see what's going on and she saw a tall masked woman lying down on the operating table.While Nadja wore a deadpan expression, "Nex! Manners please... I'm already trying to remove this killer hangover. Don't make it worse." She berated Nex slightly as she popped painkillers inside her mouth. Nex however just gave her a wry smile, "Naj, I have a better solution than those things. Why don't you grab the coffee grounds we got off world, The expensive ones..." Naj stared at Nex in complete disbelief, "I Don't think I need that, but whatever..." Yet as she said it she still went inside her kitchen.Nex on the other hand open the blinders fully. Revealing the full countenance of Skadi. She then drew her brand new
