Weeks go on, moving for what felt like forever, but the time had finally come.

Samuel: "Time for the heroes to once again join forces!"

Ike: "But it will take a while for Grace, Marcel, and Shoma to join us correct?"

Alexis is finishing up with packing her clothes.

Alexis: "Airports in Japan mixed up their flight schedules so Shoma will take around a week, Marcel is currently unable to walk, and Grace is at a funeral for her aunt in Europe."

Bell: "Well us and Amanda and Nia will be able to fight while they are busy with their situations."

Alexis closes the suitcase and walks out the front door after saying goodbye to what little family she still has.

Bell: "Good thing that Vets isn't far from Nikkle."

Alexis hops onto a bus heading straight for Nikkle.

Samuel: "Now we'll be back in Nikkle before you know it!"

Alexis sits in a seat near the front of the bus, staring out into space for hours, until evening arrives.

Speaker: "Ladies and gentlemen we are arriving in Nikkle please grab any and all belongings and have a good evening."

Bell: "Our stop."

Alexis grabs her suitcase as she steps out to find a girl around her age greet her and Ike.

Samuel: "Amanda!"

Amanda: "Welcome back Alexis, Ike!"

A small girl appears behind Amanda.

Samuel: "Hey Chloe!"

Chloe: "Glad to see the group getting back together!"

Ike: "I assume you and Nia understand our current status?"

Amanda: "Yeah, no doubt Verse is starting to make his move."

Alexis: "Have you and Nia taken a look?"

Chloe: "Black armor Soldiers."

Amanda: "Well for now we need to get you settled into your dorm room again."

Alexis: "Yeah, that works for the best."

Alexis, Ike, and Amanda walk over to a building next to a school called Cross Academy.

Amanda: "You know your dorm."

Samuel: "Need to head home?"

Chloe: "Her parents need her help with dinner."

Alexis: "Well see you in class tomorrow."

As Amanda walks away, Alexis and Ike enter a room at the end of a hallway on the first floor.

Bell: "Feels good to be back."

A small room with an old desk, small chair, and a bed with drawers sits in the room.

Alexis: "Now to unpack."

Alexis begins placing the clothes in the drawers.

Ike: "Then you need to get enough sleep for tomorrow."

Alexis quickly finishes and jumps into the bed.

Bell: "You aren't getting dinner?"

Alexis: "(yawning) I'm good."

Alexis falls asleep.

Ike: "(awkwardly) Let's go to sleep too."

Ike lays down on the floor and begins to fall asleep.
