The next day, Cecilia woke up to find Joe sleeping by her bed. "J-J-J-Joe?!?! What are you doing in my room?!" Cecilia exclaimed with a face blooming with embarrassment.

"Uhuh? Oh, morning Cecilia. Why are you here?"

"DON'T MORNING ME!!!! GET OFF MY BED!!!!!!!" *Whack!* *BANG!!*

Joe was knocked to the cupboard across the room. "Argh..... What the hell? What am I doing here?" Joe asked after waking up for real. He looked around the room and when he saw Cecilia in her bed, he understood why and how he was knocked to the cupboard. "Look, Cecilia... There is a good explanation for this."

"I don't want to hear it!!! Just get out of my room! I'll be out in a while if that's why you're here."

Joe obeyed and left the room. Cecilia got out of her bed and went to prepare for the day.

When she joined the group for breakfast, she sensed something really wrong. There was an unsual silence at the dining table which usually is filled with Specter's laughter. As she ate her breakfast, everyone stared awkwardly at her.

"Erm, why aren't you all eating but instead staring at me? Don't I eat the same food as you all?" Cecilia asked, puzzled.

The group looked at one another and nodded their heads. "Cecilia, we have decided that it is time." Joe said sternly.

"Time for what?"

"To give you your weapon, Viper's Stinger."

Cecilia stopped eating and stared at Joe. "M-My weapon? Why now?"

"Whirl came to me and said that you had leveled up a lot since the time you joined us. Also considering the fact that you have defeated Whirl and Huge, we have decided that it is finally time to give you your weapon."

Cecilia remained silent. She looked down and stood up. "Alright. Let's go get my weapon. I feel much better with a real sword than this scrap metal." The group stood up, cleared the plates and reassembled at the field.

Cecilia was about to ask why they were at the field when Joe interrupted her.

"Grodin! Do it!"

"Right, Capt." Grodin then touched the ground and a pillar of rock appeared from the center of the field.

"Freya!"

"Right on." Freya then put her hand out forward and clenched her fist.

A block of ice appeared from within the rock and landed in front of the group. What was encased in the ice was what appeared to be a double-edged sword with the handle protruding out from the top of the ice.

"That's my weapon?"

"Yes. This is the weapon I told you about when I introduced all the weapons O.M.G and us have respectively. Now, pull it out and let the sword recognise you as its wielder!"

Cecilia put both hands on the sword handle andan pulled it with all her might. *Ping!* The sword was pulled out and a dark aura enveloped Cecilia. "ARGH!!!!!" Cecilia screamed.

"CECILIA!!!!!" Joe shouted and dashed to Cecelia's aid.

However, when he turned Cecilia to face him, her eyes were that of Xilia's and she blasted him to the wall with a swing of her hand. "Capt!! Damn it, she's out of control! Hold her down!!" Grodin commanded and summoned earth hands to hold Xilia down. Xilia swung her sword and destroyed them. Freya summoned ice needles to paralyze Xilia but all were blocked by Xilia. She charged at Freya but Whirl intercepted her.

"Hey, Xilia. Aren't you feeling damn good today? You ready to be put down?" Whirl asked with a smug and he summoned 4 water clones.

"Water art: Mirage!" The clones changed their sizes and there were 5 Whirls of different sizes.

"Here I come!" The smallest clone charged at Xilia first, followed by the rest in increasing size. The original Whirl shot a few water shots at her.

Xilia blocked every attack and vanished.

"What the-"

Whirl turned around and he was knocked to the ground by a roundhouse kick from Xilia.

"Urgh!!!" Whirl groaned.

"Wroah!!!!! Fire star!!" Huge swung his fire sword in a star like formation but to no avail. Xilia had dodged every strike and she swung her sword at Huge. *Clink!* Huge and Xilia clashed swords. "Hey, Xilia! Snap out of it! This is not like you!" Huge shouted. Xilia backed off and got into a stance. "..... Execution!" Xilia disappeared and reappeared behind Huge with her sword forward.

"Hmm?! *Cough!* Impossible....." Huge collapsed onto the ground.

"She's faster than yesterday. She is definitely possessed by Viper's Stinger. We need to stop her!" Whirl said as he stood up from his crash.

"Stop! All of you!! I'll handle her! Get Huge to his room and treat him immediately!! Go now!!" Joe ordered.

"Are you sure? Missy over there is not the missy we know, you know?" Specter asked.

"I know that. That's why I need you all to stand down and leave her to me. Dusk Breakers need all of you to be at full power by next week. Now go!" Joe commanded again while drawing his OP blade.

The group obeyed and brought Huge to his room. Joe focused his attention on Xilia. "I didn't think that Viper's Stinger would be that powerful. Hang in there, Cecilia. I'll save you from its grasp." Joe then charged at Xilia. Xilia did the same. *Cling!* Their swords clashed. The ultimate battle to save Cecilia from Viper Stinger's grasp began.
