"The black robe's real identity"

After a few months of discovering her origins, Cristy left her position as a team leader at the Gomez medical facility. However, her coworkers Roxanne, Johua, and Alvin still visited her regularly at the Market.

"Why are you guys doing here?" Cristy said when she saw her coworkers.

"We are here, Miss, to surprise you, as Alvin insisted on seeing you here," Roxanne said.

"Is that so? Alvin?" Cristy said while Alvin was blushing and couldn't even face her.

"Anyway, you guys are on time. I will close my store now. Today was Ysabella's birthday, and my mom was preparing some dishes. So, let's go," Cristy said while closing her store.

"Did you hear that? Aling Julieta will cook for our favorite Adobo." Alvin said.

"Nah! We know that you know that today is Miss Cristy's Sister, Ysabella's birthday, don't fool us." Roxanne said.

"That's enough, you may guys go now and I'll just lock this. wait for me outside." Cristy said and when her former coworkers left, she accidentally bumped into the four mysterious folks.

"I am sorry," she said when she turned around, she saw the four mysterious folks smiling at her.

"How can I help you?" Cristy asks the four mysterious folks and those four mysterious folks introduce themselves to Cristy one by one.

"My name is Beatrice or you can call me on my earth name Beam. And these are my cousins, David, Angel, and Leah and we are coming from Novaria, and we are here to get the missing piece of the scepter from our world." Princess Beatrice said.

"I don't know what you are talking about, and besides what piece is that?" Cristy said while she immediately hid her necklace.

"Don't fool us, I know you know what I'm saying because you are one of the chosen guardians of parts of the scepter in our world, so give it to us so that we won't hurt you." Princess Beatrice said while the other was staring at her.

"I think this is what you are looking for?" Cristy said as she showed the mysterious visitor the heart of Gaia and she remembered what the priestess told her a few months ago.

"Why they didn't get it on their own, since this piece of shit belongs to their world? Besides, they were royals so they can just use their magical powers to collect those things." Cristy said.

"They are not allowed to collect, if they were collecting the pieces of the scepter they might be cursed by the scepter, or worse they will be killed, so this is the reason why I scattered the pieces and let the chosen guardian unite the pieces. I also received a warning from Novaria, about the fake prince and princesses of Novaria, they were spotted in the other kingdom looking for the five chosen guardians of the scepter. So, you must be careful. And make sure that the heart of Gaia will be in a safe place as this necklace is the key for you to go home, your kingdom Princess Iris is endangered." The priestess said. When Cristy remembers this all, she immediately uses the necklace as the necklace releases a blinding light. While Cristy transforms herself into a flying creature.

"Lonchura atricapilla!" Cristy said and she suddenly changed into a small bird with red feathers which she immediately flew away but she was followed by a guy who came from the mysterious folks talks to her earlier.

"What kind of creature are they?" Cristy said when she suddenly saw her former coworkers waiting for her while the creature started to change its appearance, she also saw the people inside the market start to panic because of the creature they saw. She was confused at that time if she would hide to transform first or if she would help her former coworker but she has to reveal her powers. Until she sees a sharp vine heading towards her former coworker and it is about to hit.

"Roxanne," she said and she had no choice but to reveal which she immediately used her powers to create a barrier using a huge stone.

"Miss Cristy? How did you~?" Roxanne said.

"I have no time to explain, you may leave now I will help the people inside the market, they were under attack by the unknown creatures," Cristy said.

"Thank you for saving me, but we finally found the princess Iris," Roxanne said.

"What? How did you know?" Cristy asks.

"We all came from Ajax, Your Highness, we are here to find you as your mom, Queen Azalea requested to find you in the human world and we have a strong feeling that Chrysanthemum was the princess of Ajax that we are looking for," Roxanne said but suddenly the ground was shaking.

"We have to help the people inside, let's go!" Cristy said. They immediately hid in a big truck and together, they transformed into their battle suits. But they were stunned when they saw the creature who was wearing a black robe.

"The serial Killer, what is she doing here?" Cristy said.

"Princess Iris, what do you mean?" Alvin asks.

"It's a long story, you guys need to secure the people in a safe place and let me handle this," Cristy said.

"But," Roxanne said.

"That's an order soldier," Cristy said and they could do nothing but follow the princess's orders.

"Let's secure them and after that, we will help the princess," Joshua said.

Meanwhile, Cristy approached the serial killer that she was looking for and she helped before this was hit by vines, which came from their enemy.

"Why are you helping me?" The black robe said.

"Because I know who you are, where is this thing coming from?" Cristy said.

'They were coming from my time, this is the reason why I am here on this timeline, you should secure the heart of Gaia, or else our kingdom will be destroyed because of the evil queen." The black robe said and she gradually removed the hood that she was wearing and then Cristy was stunned when she saw her other self.

"Cristy, help me to bring those creatures into my timeline." Princess Iris said.

"Sure," Cristy said and they used the heart of Gaia together which they attacked the creature using the element of earth.

"Wait, Am I right, are we seeing two Princess Iris?" Roxanne said.

"Right, maybe this is the power of the necklace?" Joshua said.

"No, it's not this is the serial killer that she was looking for based on the black robe that she was wearing, so the serial killer was her other self from another timeline?" Alvin said.

"I believe so?" Joshua said.

"Now, let's help them," Roxanne said.

On another side of the story, Dr. Nero and Black Dahlia saw this event happen at the market where they saw Chrysanthemum and the creature who has the same face as Princess Iris fighting the creatures.

"Now, looks like I have found the person who will help me to get back to my kingdom. And this is the Vigilante you guys call Chrysanthemum." Black Dahlia said.

"Yes, but I am sure that you can defeat her and use her body so that the portal to Ajax will be open." Dr. Nero said.

"Not that easy Nero, if you notice these two creatures that we saw were wearing the heart of Gaia, we have to get the necklace, but don't worry I already have a plan on how we can get Chrysanthemum out of her den." Black Dahlia said.

"How?" Dr. Nero asks.

"By the help of your daughter." Black Dahlia replied.

Going back to Cristy, they were able to capture the creature and the creature tried to separate themselves into five again however, Princess Iris from the future stopped them using the heart of Gaia, and Cristy was amazed at what she saw.

"My necklace can do that?" Cristy said.

"Yes, Iris, or should I say Cristy? you have to master everything in Ajax so that once the scepter returns to Novaria, the heart of Gaia will be your greatest weapon to all the intruders and this will be the reason why you have the connection to other realms." Princess Iris said.

"This is cool, Thank you self. Or Princess Iris." Cristy said.

"Cristy, you have to be careful, with your new enemy, her name was Black Dahlia." Princess Iris said.

"This is what Madam Maki warned me, but sure I will take good care of myself. And I will be like you in the future. Except for killing the innocent citizen here in this city." Cristy said.

"You will know soon, why I killed them. But I have to go, the other guardians are waiting for me." Princess Iris said and she smiled at Cristy.

"But before you go, is my sister Ysabella alive? Am I able to save her? Or~" Cristy asks but Princess Iris just smiles on her and says.

"NO CHEATING, Princess Iris, you have to discover it to yourself." Princess Iris said and she stepped into the portal that she created together with the creature that they defeated.
