~Dream~
Rebecca suddenly found herself in the middle of a battlefield. Just as she was wondering what was going on, a single man was standing in front of her as he didn't even bother to look at her. When she looked at the person's chest, she couldn't believe who she saw.

"Who is that? That mark on his chest. Just wh-"

"Get down, Rebecca!!"

Rebecca was suddenly tackled down as she saw a missile fly past her. When she looked at the person who pushed her down, she instantly recognized the man. It was Shiki, but he seemed much older. Just what was going on here?

~Dream ends~
Rebecca suddenly woke up in a cold sweat after the dream she just experienced. When she looked around, she saw that she was no longer in the bath upon the Edens Zero but in the infirmary. As she was looking around, she heard someone call out to her.

"Yo. You awake?"

"Sister! Why am-"

"You passed out in the bath. That was really dangerous."

"Aye!"

"Happy!!!!"

Before Happy realized it, Rebecca was holding him tightly. After that scary dream she had, she just couldn't help herself. Soon Sister decided to tell Rebecca what happened in the past hour. A giant warship that was tracking them will soon be back, even though they gave them the slip once.

~In the Infirmary~
"I don't believe this. Who would leave their teammate behind? Seriously!"

"Well you were passed out in the infirmary."

After Rebecca got dressed, she looked in the direction where she heard someone speak to her. Before her eyes was Rui as she sat besides Yuuki, who was still in a coma. As Rui looked at Rebecca, she simply nods her head. Rebecca stood close to Happy as she looked at Rui. Seeing this, Rui simply shook her head.

"I understand your reaction. After all, I was working for Kurenai not too long ago and here I am on your ship. I don't expect you to trust me. Besides....currently....there is only one person on this ship I can trust."

As Rui said this, she placed her left hand upon Yuuki's forehead. When Rebecca saw this, she could tell who Rui was very close with Yuuki. However, a question soon formed in her mind as she witnessed this.

"Rui, right? You seem real close to Yuuki. You see, he doesn't really speak much. Even less if it's about himself. I just wanted to confirm what kind of person he is. We travelled together and been through a lot so far with the rest of the crew, yet it feels like there is a wall between us."

"......how many of you does he call by your actual name?"

Rebecca blinked in confusion as she heard this question. Soon she began to think to herself. The only person that hasn't gotten a weird nickname from Yuuki was Shiki. When Rebecca told Rui this, the girl simply nodded her head.

"It seems this Shiki is the only person Yuuki would consider a friend."

"What is that suppose to mean?!"

"When he gives people a nickname, it's not because of endearment. It seems like he's close to you, but in reality he's trying to keep his distance. To be at reach, but still a good distance apart. That's the hidden meaning behind him giving you a nickname. That's all there is to it."

~On the Belial Goer~

"Giant Space Fortress, Belial Goer. It looks like it use to be sector one on Planet Guilst, but they escaped during the last disaster."

"What do you mean by sector?"

As Shiki, Weiss, Pino, and Homura were listening to Hermit through a communicator, they were surveying their surroundings. However, they couldn't contain their shock as Hermit began to further explain the situation.

"The ship itself was an entire city. They get tourists too, so if you come in through the guest dock, no one will suspect you. Be careful, the highest authority upon that ship is Drakken Joe. He's called the Dark Alchemist . He's the most notorious big shot in the underworld of the Sakura Cosmos."

"I don't care who he is. I'm gonna make him answer for why he's following us!!!!"

"Hey Hermit, are these "earring" comms gonna be a problem?"

~On The Eden's Zero~
"Don't worry, they're made of Lacrima. No one will overhear what we say through them."

"And please do remember that you're only there to simply investigate. Please refrain from any actions that may draw attention."

As Hermit and Witch both said this, they were both thinking about the situation they were in. They were in the territory of one of the Oracion Seis Galatica and one of their strongest fighters were out of commission. They had to be extra careful.

"We will use the authority of Valkyrie that Homura has transferred over to us to activate the armament system of the Edens Zero."

"Since it was unused for so long, it'll take a while to boot it up and update the systems."

~With Shiki~
"Okay, let's explore!!!!"

As the transmission was now done, Shiki and everyone else began to explore the environment. While Pino and Shiki were walking together, they saw a single man sitting on the side of the road. He was a young man with a red tattoo on his left cheek and patches of white hair in his messy black hair. When the man looked at the two, he simply yawned.

"Huh, I don't believe I met you two before. You must be new here."

"Yeah!!! But are you okay though?"

"Wow, asking a stranger you just met their condition. You're a weird one kid. Kinda remind me of a kid I met a long time ago. But where are my manners. Name's Rhya."

As Rhya held out his right hand, Shiki smiled as he shook hands with him. However, Shiki suddenly put his left hand on his head as he was suddenly getting a headache. As Rhya let's go of his hand, he looked at Shiki and Pino.

"So tell me boy, why exactly are you in a place like this? You seem too honest of a kid to be in a place of criminals, even if some reformed here."

"...........i'm exploring this place with my friends!"

"He's not lying, but he's not saying the entire thing."

"You must believe in your own strength a lot if you've come here despite knowing who's the big shot. However, let me give you some advice. No....that's too hopeful for your case. Consider this a warning."

Shiki took a small step back as he heard the shift in Rhya's tone. It was no longer laid back, but had a hint of malice behind it. As Rhya looked at Shiki and Pino, he only had one thing to say in this moment as they were at the mercy of his gaze.

"You aren't weak by any means. However, some people are just far more superior than you. If you came here on a tour, than this means nothing. If you came here for some other reason....you're not being confident in your strength. You're being reckless and overconfident. I bet you experienced it first hand. A crushing defeat by someone far stronger than you."

"I......"

"Whoops, my bad. This old man just went on a rant. Anyways, you all should check out the bakery down the street. The sweets are just to die for."

"I see. Thanks for the tip."

As Shiki and Pino ran off, Rhya took out a Lacrima as he began to speak to a person through it. When he was done, Rhya slicked back his hair for a moment as a barcode could be seen on his forehead as he smiled to himself.

"Well then, guess it's time I do my part as a Code Breaker."

Code Breaker Number 6:Thieving Liar, Rhya.
