Spotlights are turning on inside a dark room after the ring lights have also turned on with the computer systems booting up and priming its basic systems. This is Theresa's secret training cabin hidden in St. Freya.

A blast door opens and Kiana enters the room with her new battlesuit provided by Theresa for her hell training. White and gold colors all around her suit with black outlines and a shining gold orb on the back. Theresa suddenly speaks through the mic and asks Kiana about her battlesuit.

Theresa: So, do you like the new battlesuit so far, Kiana?

Kiana: It feels pretty tight, Aunt Teri. But is this really a battlesuit? To be honest, this feels like some kinky body sleeve.

Theresa: *scoffs* Of course not. So, I'll give you a run down about this battlesuit.

She then swipes her hologram screen and shows the design and capabilities of Kiana's new battlesuit.

Theresa: This is White Comet, a 3rd generation Valkyrie battlesuit issued to B-Rank Valkyries. Trainees like you usually can't get such good gear like this. Mastering the White Comet will make you stronger than before!

Theresa: However, even good A-Rankers need at least 3 months of training to get used to the nuances of 3rd Gen suits like this. Not like Y/n's battlesuits which take years to get used to judging from those designs, arsenal, and capabilities.

Theresa was still skeptical from Y/n's battlesuits and weapons like she couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. Kiana inside the room is pouting from this as she demands Theresa about this information.

Kiana: What? Just 3 months? I thought we agreed to make me strong pretty quickly!?

Theresa: I know. That's why I brought you here to my special training cabin! This training cabin will scan your memories for strong opponents and then Schicksal tech will use your memory fragments and create an image of that exact enemy!

She then pressed the red button to activate it and began the battle with Kiana still feeling dumb about it.

Kiana: Sounds like a lame arena boss fighting game.

But then a chain emerged from the system the chains wrapped around her body to hold her in place. Even though this is simulated, she can feel it in her brain and senses that these chains are as strong as the ones in real life.

Suddenly her first enemy is now spawned in front of her while she's chained up. A woman with fox ears, wearing a shrine maiden robe and an underskirt, a purple scarf around her neck, and a sword beside her waist. It was labelled to the simulator as: [Yae Sakura: Complete]

Kiana: Hey, aren't you that Miko priestess we met in Nagazora city?! Why are you here?

Theresa was surprised to see the same girl again from her dreamscape that HoC once made when it was possessing her.

Theresa: It's her again, how did Kiana know about her?

She then remembers the passage of her powers to hers by sticking to each other's forehead. She shakes those thoughts off as she is disturbed and weirded out by it and advises Kiana about this phenomenon.

Theresa: I did say that this system scans your memories to create enemies. They may not be as strong as the real enemies you fought before, but they still pack quite a punch and kick, so you better watch out! Combat is the best teacher of any Valkyrie. Don't worry, I'll take care of you if you do get hurt.

Kiana then starts to feel her chains loosening the grip on her body as she smirks.

Kiana: Hurt me? I don't think she can even get close enough to touch me! Let's rock!

Inside the dorm room of Kiana's team, Raiden and Bronya are playing a game Koukai Fighter(a parody of Tekken, HI3 version). Mei chose herself as her P1 character and Bronya picked the same as P2.

They both fight it out as the swordswoman is slowly struggling with Bronya's professional skills in gaming. When she is about to be beaten by Bronya's skills, she starts to feel the crying rage of sore losers in gamers.

Mei: Kya! Why can't I even win for once?! I'm losing for the 23rd time! I can't beat Bronya at all!

Not knowing that she just put the console on top of her head, Broya just presses the circle button as Mei's character pulls out the judgment cut for her win, beating Bronya's character.

Mei suddenly saw the announcer's voice of Mei winning the game, her mod returned to normal.

Mei: Yatta! I've defeated Bronya! But, wait... What did I press to perform her ultimate?

Bronya didn't say anything as she just smiled at her knowing that her mood was now back to good condition. But then, someone knocked on the door grabbing their attention.

Mei: Hold on!

When she opens the door, she meets someone else and its not Kiana.

Mei: Kiana, I'm- *gasp* Who are-?!

She was knocked out by the Sovereign immediately with a strange infused power to his hand and chopped her neck. Bronya noticed this immediately and stood up as she dropped the controller, glaring at the "Sovereign".

Bronya: You're not a teacher, who are you?

Sovereign: Don't try to make a single move. If I can do this to her, the same applies to you.

Bronya: Target Locked! Release Mei, right now!

Bronya suddenly uses her powers to summon her Project Bunny 19C which causes the whole room to shake more and destroy pieces of furniture around it.

Sovereign: Don't make me fight you, for you are still valuable to us.

Bronya's eyes darkened as this guy wasn't gonna do what she said at all.

Bronya: Fire!

As she said it, she released the Armageddon with the Sovereign simply sighed.

As the whole room is in ruins, the smoke fades in Bronya's sights. All of relief changed into shock and horror as she discovered that the Sovereign blocked her blast with a protective forcefield while also carrying Mei as a hostage with his powers.

Bronya: 'Hostile subject is still standing after taking a direct hit...'

Sovereign's hood is now pulled off as his face is revealed. He has slick back dark blue hair with his azure eyes still looking stoic but also confident at her.

Sovereign: A hit from your tank won't falter my power, Zaychik. Also, my task included is to neutralize all witnesses.

He then uses his power to break the project bunny like a crumpling paper. She was paralyzed and still in horror by this.

Bronya: Project Bunny...

She was suddenly sent back by the Sovereign and hit a wall behind her knocking her down. She groans and tries to call Theresa but a floating debris hits her head and knocks her out.

Sovereign: You should be thankful that Cocolia offered me mercy to spare your life. You should say your thanks to your Matushka for this.

But suddenly the figure of Fu Hua appeared behind him and tried to surprise attack him. He activated his forcefield again and looked behind her to see the bottomless Class Monitor Fu Hua with her punch colliding at his shield.

Sovereign: Hm? I thought that someone wouldn't be able to hear my arrival, I guess not.

Fu Hua: Tch!

Fu Hua backs away from him and she analyzes the situation.

Fu Hua: And I thought Kiana was fighting with Bronya again, I didn't expect a rat to sneak its way in.

Sovereign: Who am I facing here, Valkyrie?

Fu Hua: Far East Branch, A-Rank Valkyrie: Fu-Hua! Put Raiden Mei down and surrender!

Back in the training room, Kiana has managed to beat every character that Theresa could throw. Characters included are Sin Mal and Corrupted Sakura. Theresa was surprised about Kiana's combat data and it was still calculated by her systems.

Theresa: '7 win streak! When I first used the training cabin, I couldn't even make it past the 4th enemy! Then, Y/n asks me to try it out and he just easily sweeps them all even though he's holding back his true strength.'

She continues watching her beating up Honkai zombies and beasts left and right with her new battlesuit.

Theresa: Kiana seems super gifted in fighting. Well, she's a Kaslana after all.

Suddenly a memory of her deceased friend and comrade in arms, Cecilia Schariac.

Theresa: 'Cecilia, your daughter is living up to your legacy.'

Kiana needed a minute to catch her breath. Her sweat is dripping down from her hair and her face. She kneeled from the exhaustion she was feeling Theresa spoke through the loudspeakers and asked Kiana.

Theresa: Kiana, do you want to take a break?

Kiana: Break?! Pffft! I can beat up another dozen of these guys!

Suddenly, the final phase of her training is here as it signifies to the screen, [FINAL BOSS].

Kiana: I guess this is the final boss...

It summons a flash of purple lightning, the final boss was Raiden Mei's Herrscher persona, Herrscher of Thunder.

Kiana: Dang it, it's Mei! It doesn't matter, I won't go easy on her!

But her will to fight is short-lived as the system has gone into error and glitching, Theresa is troubled by this and then a familiar man approaches Kiana in the hub.

???: This is your final fight for your training, Kiana. You need a better enemy than that. Let me fight you instead.

Theresa: This voice...! What the hell's going on?! Why is he the most feared enemy in Kiana's memories?!

Inside the training area, the person who appears knows Kiana and is familiar with Theresa has revealed himself to be the rouge knight of Schicksal and House Kaslana, Siegfried Kaslana.

Siegfried: It's been a while, Kiana. How long has it been? 4 years?

Kiana: Dad?!

Kiana's eyes start to water, longing to find his father for abandoning and leaving her in the house for years.

Kiana: I've been looking for you...! For all this time!

Siegfried: Look no further, I'm here now. Now, let me see if you got-

Right off the bat, Kiana approaches him and punches hard at his chin.

Kiana: You dirty scum! You left me without a word, 4 years ago! I had to go around the world, just to look for you! Now that you're here, I'm going to give you a world of pain, right now!

Siegfried: Hnngh! *massages the bruised cheek* Come on, Kiana. Even if I'm a data, you punched too hard on my face. Go easy on me.

Kiana: No, you know what! It's even better than what I'm gonna do! I'm gonna practice tearing you to pieces so I can do the same to the real old man when I see him!

The AI Siegfried can see about Kiana's dedication to finding her father no matter what. He just smiled and thought to himself.

AI Siegfried: 'She's just like what VEDA, Tieria, and Y/n said about her... She's dedicated and will stick to it, even if it means encountering allies and enemies around her...' *flexes his wrists and pops wrist joints* Now that's my baby doll, hope you learned something useful after these 4 years. Because you're gonna need it for this fight.

Meanwhile, in the dormitories, it was plowed by a hole from the inside. Then Fu Hua came out from the debris as she blocked yet again another attack from the Sovereign.

He tries to catch her by sending his gravity orbs which she parries by covering her legs and knuckles with her Stigmata powers and lands on the floor. The Sovereign is floating while facing her and claps with his face still stoic and cold.

Sovereign: Commendable and admirable, Ms. Fu Hua. I never knew someone would survive that.

All of the students in the room are watching from the window, scared at what's happening. Fu Hua can sense it as she quickly glances at them before returning her gaze to the enemy in front of her.

Fu Hua: Your power, you can bend gravity at its will.

Sovereign: You're correct. I manipulate the gravity of anything in my surroundings. That's why your attacks against me are futile. Or, I can easily destroy this dorm and the entire planet like this.

The Sovereign simply taps the air on his front and the floor beside her is split as she saw in horror and shock.

Sovereign: Know this, I'm the 1st Herrscher. There's no way you can beat me.

Fu Hua: A Herrscher? To be honest, your Herrscher powers sound pretty lame.

But suddenly all of the gravity around the dorm started to feel heavy as everyone started to feel like their windpipe was slowly being squished to the floor.

Sovereign: Toying with gravity is one. But my true power would-

But all of a sudden, his head suddenly had a flashback of a person who had the same face as him and talked to a young Welt Yang, or rather Joachim Nokianvirtanen.

Sovereign: 'Wait, what are my true powers?'

His thoughts had made him fall off his guard and Fu Hua sees this as an opportunity for her to push through and save Mei.

Fu Hua: An opening!

She leaps right to him and starts using her fast knuckle attacks which he blocks with his shield pretty easily.

Sovereign: You're more stubborn than I thought. Speed isn't enough, you're attacks will never breach my body.

But suddenly her last attack which she pushed through shattered the shield He was surprised by this and all he could see now was a punch to his face making his powers weaken the hold on Mei. She then grabbed Mei and carried her bridal style and stayed afloat.

The Sovereign was pretty angry about this as she mocked him with a mix of explanation of how she did it.

Fu Hua: You talk too much and reveal too many secrets. You said you can alter the gravity of things within your sight. I simply created an illusion to make you think I'm attacking you. Hope you've learned your lesson, so try not to mess up next time.

She looks at unconscious Mei and thought out her plan.

Fu Hua: 'There's no need to dally around any longer. I must make my escape quickly.'

Sovereign couldn't say anything but only laugh at her which she found unsettling and left him immediately.

Sovereign: Hehehehe.... Ahahahahaha... AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! 

Suddenly his power is increasing and the atmosphere starts to feel heavy, literally.

Sovereign: DID I TELL YOU WILL LEAVE WITH OUR ASSETS IN YOUR HANDS?!

The Sovereign suddenly emits his Stigmata around his body and his power crumbles everything around him making every student in the dorm be panicked and get out.

However, he saw them and held them hostage in piles of rubble caving them in. He then saw the fleeing Fu Hua with Mei and pulled the two of them to the ground. The two girls landed on the floor and she coughed up blood in the crash landing.

He roars in anger and raises his arms and hands as multiple floating boulders and debris around him float according to his will while he puts Fu Hua in her place.

Sovereign: You're the first one to make me unleash the Stigmata I have. I wanted to spare Ryoma's daughter, but arrogant fools like you have convinced me to rip her core out from her, forcefully. So I shall give you your reward for making me release this power.

He started to crumble the whole debris into sharp stone spikes.

Fu Hua: 'Damn it, I can't move...!'

Sovereign: A 100x gravity pull and rains of death. Farewell, Valkyrie.

He then rained down his assault as she used her body to protect Mei. She didn't care about the spike stabbing her back a lot with blood pouring from the stabs making her fall unconscious and slowly bleeding.

The Sovereign then summons a massive spike pillar enough to kill them both in one swoop and sends it to them. As the spike gets close quickly, the right hand of Raiden Mei suddenly moved and her eyes shot open and changed colors into slit red.

A forcefield made out of purple lightning easily destroyed the spike which he found troubled and clicked his mouth in annoyance.

Sovereign: Damn it, it just made things harder now.

Right as he said it, his arm was suddenly cut off making him grit his teeth and groan loudly in pain, however, it wasn't enough to make him let go of all hostages.

When he looks in front of him, he sees Mei's persona of conquest, Herrscher of Thunder. She burns the blood of the Sovereign off of her hand rubs the bleeding Fu Hua and licks all of the blood she rubs her hand on it.

Mei(HoT): It's still warm... This idiot shed plenty of blood to protect my cowardly host. I guess I'll have to paint this place with the scumbag's blood. I guess with him not here, he wishes me to do so.

Sovereign: You... You're the Herrscher inside the girl's body.

She then turns towards the Sovereign who is stoic and yet feel heavy from her aura and she scoffs at him.

Mei(HoT): Ah, so this is the scumbag. So she's right, he does talk a lot.

But suddenly she felt the bomb inside her heart turned on and heard its activation sequence.

3rd Herrscher personality detected. Beginning detonation sequence: T-minus 5 minutes.

Mei(HoT): 'Tsk! Stupid human failsafe, why didn't he get one like what we humiliated Herrschers does? Although, this countdown will be more than enough for me.'

Her wings started to form on her left side and then she challenged the Sovereign to a duel.

Mei(HoT): Hope you like this feeling of your blood boiling inside your veins to fight me, scumbag.

As the clouds gathered and darkened the night sky, the glow of her Stigmata showed in the skies and it boomed around Soukai City.

Unknown to everyone during the events., someone was eavesdropping her training. It holds its communicator and contacts someone.

???: Hey man, how's it going? I need a favor from you. Can you bring your cane into this Simulated world?

???: I can but are you sure that the data of me in there is glitched and gone?

???: Yeah, why?

???: We just found out on Herta and Screwllum that one of their co-workers is responsible for anti-virus so I guess he might've include the deletion of corrupted file related to me. 

???: Ok, ok. You got the details and be quick to log in. I bet right now she's-

The person was about to say more when the thunders crackled and boomed around the city of Soukai.

???: Figures, I'll be over there in a minute. I need to dress-up my outfit first, Y/n.

Y/n: *smiles* Thanks for helping me out here, Welt.

Y/n ends the phone call and immediately jogs towards where Mei's battle is. The storms have come and they are about to get clapped hard.
