About 2 hours after Valentina’s disappearance…… Eva’s body remains still on the bed of a hospital room.With a sudden gasp, Eva shoots up, chest heaving with her purple eyes wide. “Eva.” She turns and finds her mother standing up from the chair some metres away.“Mum.” Eva mumbled as Alana wraps her arms around her tightly.“It’s okay, baby. You’re safe.” Alana said as she gives Eva’s forehead a kiss.“I was so scared.” Eva whimpered as she hugs back, her hands trembling a little and Alana snuggles her closer. The two remain in silent embrace for a few more minutes before finally pulling away.“How are you feeling? Any pain?” Alana asked as she searches her daughter’s body for injured but Eva just stares at her with worried eyes. “What’s wrong?” Alana asked as she meets Eva’s eyes.“Those men… They said that I was their target… And that woman…” Eva shakes her head a little at the memory of Valentina. “…She kept calling me her sister.” Alana frowns at Eva’s words which makes Eva even m
As the other sat at the meeting table, Eva notices some couple of empty seats which quickly became filled by realistic holograms of some of the other guardians and some important Index personnel directly related to the new Tron task force… including the current Index chairman.MJ throws a bubble-gum in her mouth before noticing how tense Eva now seemed. “Relax, Eva. It’s just us.” MJ whispered and Eva sighs.“I know. It just feels… different.” Eva whispered back because even though these were the same people who used to visit and play with her since she was a baby, the serious looks on their faces now was a bit too intense for her.Once Jake assures that they were ready, he nods at the more matured Callum Griffon in his early twenties who intertwines his fingers together with elbows placed on the table as he speaks.“Good afternoon everyone and thank you for your time today. We’ll try to end this as quickly as possible so you return to your duties.”“I certainly hope so.” Erina, the n
Couple hours later under the late night sky, Levi and Blanca found themselves on the roof of a tall building, where two figures were waiting for them.“If it isn’t the infamous Devil Raven?” Blanca chuckled and Alana gives him a death glare.“And if it isn’t the bastard that got my father killed.” She grumbled and Blanca pouts.“Come on, that was decades ago. Besides, if it makes you feel any better, it’s because of your dad’s strength that we’re in this mess now.”“And the rest of my family?” Alana asked and Blanca shrugs, making her grit her teeth. “I’m going to kill you.”“After we kill the other sins first.” Levi said as he places a hand on her shoulder which makes her sigh. “So… how is it?” Alana turns and points to a building which resembled that of the hologram Levi saw in the meeting. “Seems pretty normal. A couple guards and surveillance… but for some reason, I keep getting the feeling that something ‘dangerous’ is down there.” Levi nods in understanding.“Then we’ll take it
Eva wipes away some of the nervous sweat from her face as she fixes her eyes on the parasite Cain who continues to smile at her mother.Alana maintains her stance, her senses honed in on Cain who raises their hand, green energy radiating from it. Eva shifts into her own battle stance and glances at Blanca also seemed to be combat ready… just as the glow from Cain’s body fade. Alana raises a brow at them. “Do you think you can beat me without your powers?”“I know I can but that’s not it. I’m not fighting you.” Cain said and Alana smirks.“What? Too scared I know your weakness?” Alana asked and Cain simply raises a brow at her. “You’re Cain, the Sixth. You have the power to steal a tron’s ability and make it your own. Your weakness? You can only use one ability at a time.”Cain folds their arms with a scoff. “Wow. Blanca really spilled the beans, huh?” They said with a cocky smirk fixed on Blanca. “Let me guess. Strike me when I’m just about to switch powers?” Alana simply shrugs and
30 minutes later, in a private hospital owned by the Index, Eva sits in the waiting area with her foot nervously tapping the ground.She looks up and sees Blanca staring at something. She follows his eyes and sees the TV where the destruction in the town was displayed by the news station.“Our dad’s pretty amazing, isn’t he?” Blanca chuckled.“He’s not your dad.” Eva grumbled, drawing Blanca’s attention. He scoffs once he saw the anger in her eyes which softens as she stands and rushes forward.He follows her movements and find Alana walking towards them while talking with a doctor. Alana says something in the man’s native language and he nods as he walks past Eva who quickly hugs Alana. “So?” Eva asked and Alana smiles as she rubs Eva’s head.“He’s fine. His powers healed his wounds but he was still out thanks to the blood loss and effect of the powers itself but… he’s awake now. Come on.” Alana said as she takes Eva and Blanca to a room where Levi is now putting on a new set of clot
Still in the Kazan Index Branch, Diana with tear filled eyes quickly rips out part of her shirt and ties her leg, making Gilgamesh scoff… just as his body stops moving as a heavy pressure pushes down on him.He turns with a smirk at Erina. “Please.” With another burst of energy, he breaks Erina’s hold again. Erina tries to attack again but stops once he speaks up. “Will you give it a rest? Your gears won’t work on me.”Erina glares as she hovers down to the floor, standing few metres in front of him. “You’re Gilgamesh, aren’t you?” She asked.“That saves me the trouble of introducing myself then.” He said before turning as Diana grunts, now standing on her good leg with a broken support beam under her armpit.She looks up with a glare that makes Gilgamesh rolls his eyes. “Don’t give me that look. I only took a leg. I could have killed you in an instant if I wanted to.”“Then… why didn’t you?” Diana asked.“To serve as a message to my father and the rest of you. If any of you comes in
As Jake explains the final details to Levi and the others, Eva holds a hand over her mouth with fear in her eyes. Eva thought to herself while Blanca clicks his tongue.“I never knew my brother had that much tricks in his sleeves. Even you might have trouble beating him, Levi.” Blanca said to Levi who furrows his brows in thought.“So what happened after that?” Alana asked and Jake folds his arms as he leans back into his seat.“A couple minutes later, Diana was found in front of a nearby hospital. By the time we traced the destruction back to the base’s remains, Gilgamesh was gone… along with the reflector.” Jake said.“What about those agents?” Eva asked and Jake sadly shakes his head. “No.” She mumbled and Alana frowns once she notices Levi clenching his fists so tight that some blood drops out.“Although her methods were… unconventional, I believe Erina was right about the reflecto
About 30 minutes later, Milo lead Eva and Eli back home but before they separate, he gives them an encouraging smile.The two children move through the house until they stumble upon Mary and Arthur eating in the dining hall.“Hey. You got this.” Eva said to Eli who rolls his eyes and makes ome hand signs which makes her laugh as she pushes him forward.“If it isn’t the daughter of the ghost.” Eva smiled at Arthur who despite his more built physique and macho-looking goatee with complimenting hairstyle still spoke in a familiar medieval tone that makes her laugh ever since she was a baby.“How’re you doing my little apprentice?” He asked Eli who makes some hand signs and gestures to his casted neck.“That’s good.” Mary said as she rubs his head before turning to Eva. “So… how was it?”“Interesting… Anyways…” Eva trailed off with her eyes fixed on Eli who rolls his eyes.Arthur notices this and smirks. “Do you have something you want to ask us?” “This looks important so I’ll just see m
