In a pocket dimension, a ginormous tree floating with its elongated roots crawling through the deep void of the space.

The portal is opened from the skies. Coming out from the dark portal are two small figures who are on a freefall and then two more objects that are nose diving towards the two small figures.

Y/n and Chall are in a freefall as their Core Fighters are now releasing it's armor pieces towards the owners. Starting from toe, all the way to the head unit.

(A/n: Representation only)

Ground is getting closer to them and then they hit a rough landing leaving a crater on their spot.

Y/n: *grunts* Are you all right?

Chall: Still kicking, but that was rough!

They stand up as they look around in the pocket dimension they are in.

Chall: Where are we anyway?

Y/n: This place...

His voice was filled with a sense of familiarity and nostalgia.

Y/n: Agh!

Chall: Y/n!

His head began to hurt again as he saw a remnant of a past memory of his descendant, Setsuna. The figure of Setsuna's 00 Raiser wielding GN Sword III against a ginormous dark monster who transformed into someone else standing against the 00 Raiser.

He comes back to reality as he pants and breaths from those memories he kept seeing.

Y/n: 'Setsuna... What are those memories...!'

But then they felt the dimension shake as they looked up to the ginormous tree's roots. The blue veins in the roots began to illuminate even brighter as that's where the shaking is coming from.

Chall: Is it-?!

Y/n: Yes, it is! This ain't gonna be easy!

The root bursts and out comes the dragon, Benares who roared loudly and then lands in front of them.

It's roar suddenly spawn creatures that holds dark powers and disasters upon them.

Chall: These guys look troubled, I can sense that my ELS friends are telling me that we need to destroy these things. What are they anyway?

Y/n: Honkai...

His muttered words weren't misheard by Chall as she looked at him in confusion.

Y/n: That's what they call... 'I think...'

Chall: Well, whatever they are; If they pose a threat to us...

Chall primed her pistols and pointed at the flying Honkai and shot it to make it fall down to the ground preventing it from taking flight combat.

Chall: Then let's take them down!

Y/n: Well, you took my words right out of my mouth.

Y/n then began to make a dive bomb against the army to get to the dragon. Y/n slices every Honkai he sees in his path. One of them almost caught him off guard on the way but Chall shot a beam towards its head killing it.

On Chall's position, she found herself surrounded by Honkai so she decided to change her range of combat. From long, to close quarter combat.

A Honkai spawned underneath her so she immediately jumped out of the way and suddenly start to be surrounded by the flying Honkais.

Chall: Mindless fools...

She began raining down beams around her and as she landed on a new spot, she slashed two heads of the Honkai using two beam sabers. She saw a massive swarm of Honkai going towards her, enacting vengeance for their fallen comrades.

She points her wing binders and Buster Rifle towards the enemies to activate her skill [Binder's Blast]. Her targeting systems are beeping rapidly as multiple targets are locked as she looked towards the enemies with no mercy against the Honkai.

She pulls the trigger as the Gundam Burst fires all of the Honkai swarm in just a pull of her trigger. Engulfing every Honkai Beasts that are in the line of fire.

Y/n was having a hard time against his foes. The Honkai he sees are so enormous but not as big as the dragon.

A massive light pillar was lightened up the dark space. This light was seen by Y/n and the rest of the army.

Y/n saw their attention averted and used this opportunity to dash towards them quickly. Multiple Honkais were already destroyed

Y/n: Where are you looking at?!

He then unsheathes his GN Blades Kai to use his skill attack: [Double Saber Barrage] to slash every Honkai's weak spots as he gets through them.

He now faces the Dragon who apparently tries to grab him as he dodges out of the way. But he failed to see an incoming of its other hand. He decided to block it with both of his GN Blades but it's skin is tough to cut it..

Y/n: Ggh!! This dragon is strong!

The dragon summons a portal to weaken his position and be engulfed in the portal and die. But the portal was shut when a Buster Launcher beam fire hit the dragon in the face, staggering it and making a big gash on its arm that Y/n is standing on.

It looked up and saw the Dynames pointing the smoking barrel of her Buster Launcher. The dragon roars and multiple portals appear, spawning more Honkais. She immediately fought them as Y/n managed to get on top of its hand and began to run on it.

Y/n looked at the dragon and its void hole on its back. 

A flash of memory made him see a blast of the past about this specific dragon.

Y/n: 'What the hell's with that void on its back? Is that-?'

Help... me...

Y/n paused and looked around immediately to where the voice was coming from; he looked in front of him as a tentacle which assumed it appeared from its dark body.

He narrowly dodges it as the tentacle grazes the blade antenna of Exia armor as he keeps going towards its back.

Y/n: What the hell... 'Who's saying that...'

-Memory fragments-

He then sees a flash of memory of a girl with wings who's soul is about to be grabbed by the grim reaper himself.

It suddenly flashes to a person who's crying at a person who's in a weakened condition.

When it blinked it's eyes it then changed to a silver man who's face is showing remorse, mercy, and apologetic.

-Memory end-

Y/n saw these memories; he felt a small sliver of sadness and happiness. He looked at the void dragon once more and he could sense that voice once more.

Help me... Please...

Y/n: Chall, are you hearing voices or something?

Chall: Well, I can but it's distorted so I can't understand what it is saying!

Please... free me...

He then hears it again with much more clarity and understanding of what she's saying. She was calling out to someone to be freed from her mindlessness. But then he heard another voice and it's full of malice and oppression.

Obey my command, Insect!

GAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

DESTROY HUMANITY IN HONOR AND COMMAND OF MY WILL!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!

The scream of a woman was echoing in his ear from the voice of a man who's doing something cruel and slavery to her. He knows that she's suffering from whoever that voice of oppression is.

Y/n: I think I know. Cover me, I'm going for it's core!

Chall: Wait, that's full of highly concentrated radiation and dangerous particles!

Y/n: Please, trust me!

Y/n's plea was serious yet mixed with sadness, impatience and frustration. Chall breathes as she kills the last of the army Honkai on her tail.

Chall: Roger!

*start theme*

Chall then helps her out as they see multiple Honkais appearing on the arm of the dragon to neutralize Y/n and Chall. 

Y/n then goes on to sheathe his sabers back and resorts to his GN Knives for quick kills and Chall arms her buster rifle and other weapons as well.

The dragon roars again as the Honkai army on his position starts to engage at will and the dragon is about to release a quantum blast breath towards Chall. 

But she didn't let it happen as she fired her charged Buster Rifles targeting it's open-wide mouth making the dragon choke and cough smoke.

Y/n then goes towards the massive army of Honkai counting up to 1000. He keeps killing some Honkai beasts that are coming towards him but each kill comes a new one approaching.

Y/n: I've had enough of you dog piling to kill me, so do me a favor...

He then activates the Trans-Am as he goes on a killing spree as Chall continues to Barrage fire against the enemies that are catching up on Y/n.

Both of them worked together as Y/n managed to get closer to the void.

Y/n: 'One chance... Please don't be too late..'

Y/n then makes a big leap and enters the dragon's void.

As he enters, he sees a small woman crying in despair and tortured from a dark humanoid entity beating her up and mangling her body even though she can regenerate.

Y/n: That guy...

You're nothing but a tool for my will, creature.

But that entity failed to notice that an angry Y/n is making a beeline towards him. So when he heard a powerful force made his skin crawl and a angry voice calling out to him...

Y/n: RAGNAROK!!!!!!

He looked up only to see a blade slash towards its head, slicing it in half.

GRAAAAAAGH!!!!! WHO DARES TO STAND AGAINST ME?!

He looks only to see the angry Y/n carrying the unconscious girl on his right arm and he's holding something on his left hand.

NO... NO!!!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE-

Before he could say anything, Y/n breaks the crystal ball he's holding as the man is now screaming in agony and pain as he's fading away.

*end theme*

Outside of the void space, the dragon screams in agony and pain as it turns to nothing but particles. Chall removes her hands from her ears and she opens her eyelids and saw Y/n who's carrying the unconscious girl.

Both Gundam Meisters disengaged their face plates to show their real faces as they talk about who she is.

Chall: Who is she, Y/n?

Y/n: It's...

Y/n is about to say something but seeing the memories it hurts his feelings of revealing such info.

Y/n: This is Benares... The beast we just fought.

Chall: Oh my... All this time... It was an innocent girl...

Y/n: Not just innocent... Loyal towards someone... or to be precise... Setsuna.

Chall's mind went bonkers as she just can't believe what she heard come out from his mouth.

Chall: You're telling me, this girl was a servant to Setsuna?!

Y/n: Well. It's strange to have a servant that's directed to my original. But my heart felt sad towards her.

As soon as he said that, he saw her open her eyelids and saw the saviors who "saved her life".

Benares: It's you... Lord Setsuna...

Y/n was shocked about this as she touched his face. He can feel the touch was gentle, but also mixed with failure, grief, guilt, and sadness.

Benares: I'm so sorry... I was so blinded by my loyalty to her... That I forgot about you, being the only one who truly cares for me...

Suddenly he receives memories from her mind as how she was a beast in the first place and became human. (A/n: From 2nd eruption manga chapter 54)

Benares: Now... I can finally rest from my true duties for you... peacefully...

Her eyes were now slowly darkened, her life force fading away. Y/n felt like he needed to cry but he doesn't know why. But he just relies on what his spirit and guts tells him to do.

Y/n: You can rest now, Bella. You've done enough. Let me take care of retracing my descendant's footsteps and finding her.

He uses his fingers to cover her eyes as she was fading away in purple GN Particles. After that, he looked at Chall who he just embraced as she was shocked at what he was doing.

Chall: Y/n, are you-

Y/n: Please, Auntie... Just let me have this moment...







Present

Y/n: And that's what happened there...

The Astral Express are taking this carefully with Stelle not being here as he also explained how a beast became a human from a girl who suffered greatly and bore hatred towards humanity because of their corrupted desires and knowledge.

Meanwhile Welt is just looking down with his glasses reflecting the light and has nothing to say about this. He only clenches his cane about how humankind during that day was.

Welt: 'Just what has become of us on that day...'

March: Mr. Yang, are you okay?

Welt comes back to his senses as he smiles and glances at March, hiding his worries towards her with a smile.

Welt: I'm alright... I just need some time alone to think about this...

Welt then leaves as he goes to the passenger's cabin and Himeko looks at him in worry.

Himeko: March, I think it's best if you and Dan Heng leave him alone for now. Me and Y/n will talk to him about this.

March: Oh, okay.

March then goes to the seat in the parlor car to get some shut eye as Himeko looks at Y/n, knowing what her look towards him means. He nodded and they both left to go and meet Welt.

Welt is seated at a small round table, taking a sip of his tea. He then sees Himeko and Y/n meeting him up.

Welt: Oh, Himeko and Y/n. What is it?

Himeko: Knowing from the look you gave towards that story before you left us. I guess I can't blame you for it.

Welt: *sighs* You can tell?

Y/n: It's alright, Mr. Welt. I don't blame you, I had the same reaction when I found out about it. Also, I saw some of you being on that day so...

Welt: Looks like I don't need to hide it anymore from your team.

Y/n: I understand, Mr. Welt. After all, the two of us are travelers from another world but also trailblazers.

Welt smirks and talks to him openly.

Welt: I guess you can say we have something in common. So, do you want me to reveal my origin?

Y/n: Well, only the world you originated from. As I'll tell you mine.

And so, the two Isekai knights tell each other's stories of their journey and their predecessors'.

In Sumeragi, two doctors; Saji and Louise are checking out a patient in a health recovery pod. They were then visited by Kati as the door opened.

Kati: What is the latest about this one?

Louise: We scanned her condition and we saw something... impossible.

Kati raised her eyebrow in interest and let them continue.

Saji: She has a DNA that is fused with ELS DNA and it's stabilizing her condition. The virus inside her body is slowly being assimilated and altering it to the one suited to the fused DNA.

Louise: What does this mean, ma'am?

Kati smiles happily but is also interested in the sleeping Benares inside the pod.

Kati: Looks like Y/n found himself a new recruit on our team.

Benares (Bella) is now a part of Celestial Being: Sumeragi team
