Several minutes passed as Sana examined the young magician, making her notes and coming to the conclusion that they young girl was in rather good condition all things considered. "Well, Terra. I'm happy to give you a clean bill of health. Besides some damage to your arm, you're fit as a fiddle! And by now, I imagine Gaspard has arranged for you to have access to all places we would normally allow newcomers to Heaven. Including our Holodome, if you like. Any questions you have for me?"

"I see..." Keegan said, "Well... you're gonna be just fine. I'm taking you to a doctor. Go ahead and rest."
Holodome
"Trainin'?" The armored man asked, "The hell are ya trainin' for. flat out Armageddon?"
Sometimes I feel like the only normal person here "My Threshing has been Extra Princely Fresh"
"I do have one question," Terra said. "What exactly is the Holodome for?" Terra recognized the word "dome," but she wasn't sure she knew what the "holo" prefix meant. This space station seemed to be a fair bit more advanced technologically than anything on her home planet, so she expected it to be something of that sort.
Bardock simply looked at the man with a rather blank, but sharp stare before adjusting the red bands wrapped around his wrist. He then cracked his neck once more as he walked over to the control panel.
"Very funny, but no. It's normal for a people of my race to push themselves to their limits. We desire to become stronger, and every time we recover from near-fatal wounds we become stronger. Recently I recovered from such a series of injuries. Mainly testing out the extent of my newfound power. I don't think I have fully reached it just yet. So you could decide to stay and watch or leave, mainly because I don't intend to stop." Bardock spoke as he reached his hand out to place it on the control panel.

When Mokou warned Astraea not to rush in and attack Ethan again, Astrea simply turned to her and stuck out her tongue in a mocking manner. It was clear Astraea didn't have much fondness for being bossed around by Mokou. "You're not my mom! Boss said I have to bring him in dead or alive and that big meanie doesn't want to come in nicely!" Astraea yelled as she gripped the handle to her sword tightly as he wings began flapping. She than began to quickly ascend, but there was just enough time for Mokou to grab her ankle and slam her back down.
Prosperity Space | Dropship Serena said nothing in response to the boy's casual remark. Instead, she turned to the ceiling and stared, lost in thought. Even her location was not a certainty and, while she was grateful that she was saved, she still did not know much about this Keagan fellow, the ship that she's on, and the destination the ship is headed to. It was all so stressful to think about, so Serena closed her eye and called for sleep, hoping that when she wakes up, she would have more answers than questions. Near the Weapons Lab | Nevaaras | CY-001 "Whoa, now." Mokou quickly leaped to grab Astraea's ankle, preventing her from taking flight. "I don't know who you work for, and frankly I don't want to know. But I don't think it's right for me to let you just bring this city to ruin and kidnap a savior of mine, much less kill the man."
Near the Weapons Lab | Nevaaras | CY-001"Auuu~! Let go of me you Meanie! I'm trying to do my job! Boss said I have to take him in by force if I meet him! If I fail then then... Well I don't know what exactly will happen, but I know it won't be pretty!!!" Astraea yelled as she took her sword and quickly swung it at Mokou in hopes of it catching her off guard and cause her to let go, but Astraea was careful enough to let it NOT hit Mokou.
John simply nodded at Achlys's suggestion for him to move quickly, and after a moment, John held out a hand before speaking.
"Grab on. We're taking a shortcut.", John said to Achlys.

The last thing Ethan remembered was the sound of his armor shattering and the searing pain of his lower back and abdomen ripping open before hearing a sonic boom and landing on the ground. When he came to, Ethan could still feel the searing pain in his stomach and weakly looked down to the injury. As it turned out, he had already regenerated from the wound, though there was still that residual pain from being blown apart remaining. Little bits of flesh and organ were cut away from the wound and replaced by Ethan's own body, and after wiping away what he could, Ethan stood up and frowned at the hole in his armor.
"Dammit, and I just got this shit fixed!", Ethan said to himself, clearly annoyed by how his armor was once again damaged.
It was then when Ethan noticed a small red dot on his radar, as well as a little blue one next to it. He knew that the red dot was the angeloid from before, but just who was the person confronting her? After getting his bearings and putting away his gun, Ethan ran off to where the dot was located.
After a quick jog, Ethan had happened across the sight of not only the angeloid from before, but a naked Mokou restraining her. Ethan gave a light frown of surprise before deciding to break their little argument.
"Soooo, did I miss anything?", Ethan asked the two of them as he covered the bloody hole in his armor as best he could.

Thomas couldn't help but narrow his eyes at his sister in slight disgust before speaking.
"I know we don't get sick like normal people do, but doesn't the smell bother you at least a little?", Thomas asked Rebecca.
To be honest, despite his vast intelligence, he still sometimes couldn't quite figure out his sister and the processes of her mind. He wasn't angry at her for her playing with dead bodies, but he would have rather she played with non-decaying ones.
Near the Weapons Lab | Nevaaras | CY-001 "Oh." Mokou sidestepped to avoid the sword slash from the Astraea and quickly entered fighting stance, her fire wings ignited behind her back. They were just as quickly snuffed out, however, when she saw Ethan. "No, you didn't miss anything. Although you could do me a whole lot of good and tell me why there's a maniacal busty angel chick trying to kill you AND everyone in this city." Jiff-E-Mart - Electra | Geminiea Alpha "Yeah, it does smell a little funky. Guess it's better to just toss it then." Rebecca caught the severed head then sniffed it a few times casually, as if she was smelling a flower. She then presumed to toss the head out the window with such force that it broke through the wooden board that patched up the broken glass pane.
"Oops." She chuckled after her deed as she stepped forward and looked out the hole that revealed the desolate city of Electra. It was all quiet, but everyone knew that everyone had eyes on everyone; even slightly showing up in the streets would result in several snipers taking pot shots at the target. The poor severed head was no exception as it was sniped mere seconds after it was tossed out the window. "Ooh, the head jumped when something shot it! You think it came back to life, brother?"
Upon hearing what Mokou said about her trying to not only kill Ethan, but everyone in the city. She got really upset as she used her strength and speed to pull herself away from Mokou. She then retorted.
"Hey! I'm not trying to kill everyone in this stinky city! Only that guy! Besides it's HIS FAULT THAT A BUILDING WENT BOOM!!!" She yelled at Mokou, Astraea was now beginning to throw a childlike tantrum.
Ethan furrowed his brow as Astrea accused him of trying to destroy the city and tilted his head to the side as he spoke.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was only trying to avoid being chopped up by you. Also, I may have accidentally shot the tower, but that was because you dodged the shot. I fired at you at point blank, so I figured that it would have hit you, removing the risk of destroying a part of the city.", Ethan said before he then began to smile at the busty angeloid, "Besides, you're one to talk with how you blew up the lab and took out a radio antenna. All I did was miss a shot, while you're here trying to kill me."
After speaking to Astrea and countering her argument, Ethan looked over to Mokou and seemed to pause as he tried to find the right words to say to her.
"Agh... Well, she came to kill me.. because I am not exactly normal. I am actually from the organization she belongs to, and they basically want to either capture or kill me, whichever one their bipolar chairman decides that day. I don't really want to tell you this because the information kinda puts you in danger too, because they will either see you as a source of intel or as a liability, buuut I am a superhuman created from the Phoenix Project.", Ethan said to Mokou.

"I highly doubt it, as there would be no means for the decayed remains of the brain to be capable of generating thought.", Thomas said to Rebecca as he sighed and looked at the hole in the window.
Thomas grabbed a nailgun from one of the shelves and another wooden board before tearing off the remains of the broken board and replacing it. After that, Thomas turned over to Rebecca and spoke.
"Try not to do that again. Resources are not to be wasted, and although we are both powerful, we do not want to reveal our position and get attacked. We can hold off a lot of people, but we will not survive a constant siege.", Thomas explained to Rebecca before putting the supplies away and finished installing the camera.

Lycoris entered the simulation with all of her armor already equipped. She wasted no time getting to work as both of her blade digitized in her hands and she charged at her mentor. As much as she liked Emil, there was something she really really wanted, and she intended to get it.What at first seemed like an obvious front attack would quickly change as Lycoris jumped to the ceiling just above Emil's head before diving down ant a very quick speed. She hoped that pushing off along the ceiling and falling with the gravity would give her enough speed to hi Emil, but he might have seen this coming. After all he had personally supervised Lycoris in her training on many occasions, so her usual tactics might not work on him.
