Kaidou Jin:
We're all still stuck inside the control pods where as the adults try to get us out. We watched Ban, Hiro and Ran head for the Mizel Trouzer on our CCMs.
"Ban... You three are our last hope. We're counting on you..." I muttered.
We watched as the three battled the Mizel Olegion. Odin Mk-2 led the charged and Mizel Olegion dodged them. When they surrounded him, he didn't move but he didn't get a scratch thanks to his defenses.
Mizel stroke for Minerva Kai first. With one hit, Ran was nearly out of the battle. Hiro used his hissatsu 'Sword Bit', but Mizel Olegion blocked it using Knight Mode. He then used Strike Mode to attack Achilles and Burning Mode to attack Minerva Kai again. Minerva Kai had cracks that go as deep as the core skeleton and it was barely moving.
Then both Odin Mk-2 and Mizel Olegion turned into jets and started chasing each other like playing tag. Mizel Olegion used 'Stinger Missle'. Ban dodged all, but two and Odin fall to the ground. Mizel used 'JET Striker' and had nearly gotten to Odin, but was saved by Achilles.
Mizel used 'Gao Cannon' on Achilles but it was saved by the already-beaten Minerva Kai, who suffered break over after words.
Achilles D9 used WV Mode while Odin Mk-2 used WX Mode. They attacked Mizel Olegion together. Achilles was the first to make a scratch on Olegion and the upcoming attacks followed its example.
"Hissatsu Function!"
"Attack Function, Glorious Ray."
"Hissatsu Function!"
"Attack Function, Big Bang Slash."
"COMBINED HISSATSU FUNCTION!!!"
"Attack Function, Double Ray Wing."
Odin Mk-2 and Achilles D9 used their hissatsu and defeated the Mizel Olegion.

Niara Levanov:
Sweet battle! I raised my fists high to celebrate, just to get them bump the hatch. "Ow..."
"How dumb can you be..." Kirito muttered.
"Screw it." I shot back.
Then we got a call from Ban. "We stopped Mizel!"
"Alright!" Kazu cheered.
"Sweet!" I said. Then the lights in the pod turned on and the hatch opened. "Boom! Freedom!"
Then Prof. Yamano was informed that the Mizel Trouzer is falling apart. And to make hings worse, Ban said that the Set 50 is about to explode!
"The Set 50 will explode in 5 minutes?" Jin repeated.
"They can't get out? That can't be!" Ami said.
"What the hell do we do?!" Asuka panicked.
"Hiro..." Prof. Oozora was clearly worried.
Gouda and Sendou then came in hurriedly.
"Professor Yamano! Where's Ban and the others?" Gouda asked worriedly.
"They still have yet to get out." Prof. Yamano replied.
"Can't we do something about it?!" Gouda said. "We can't just watch them die! I'll go save them myself!"
Then, a silver coloured LBX appeared with a very familiar design... Can't say I remmember which one though...
It flew around the room getting all of our attentions. It stopped in the middle of the room and flew in a pattern. It flew in that same pattern over and over again until we could only see a blurry figure of a sphere... Wait no... That looks like... An OPG terminal?
"That's right!" Prof. Yamano suddenly called. "I have somethibg to ask you all."
All of us, including that silver LBX went to get the OPG terminals and then headed outside. Right when the Set 50 exploded, we managed to get into position to protect Ban, Hiro and Ran with a mini Grand Sphere.
"They're back!" Ami cheered.
"Hey!" Asuka called.
"Geez, you sure did give us a scare." Jessica commented.
"It all worked out Professor." Kazu said to Prof. Yamano.
"Making a tiny Grand Sphere with the OPG terminals..." Otacross said. "Brilliant as always, Professor Yamano."
"Thabk god we made it..." Yuuya said.
"Yeah." Jin nodded.
"You guys just don't kniw when to quit." Kirito muttered.
"Says you." Gouda muttered.
"Look who's talking." Sendou said.
"Burned..." I silently snickered.
When we got them back on the ground and thanked everyone for their hardwork, we all stayed at Tiny Orbit.
I faked couch to break the silence. "Erm... Am i the only one thinking we forgot someone important?"
"No. You're not." Jin muttered.
"That's right. Eva..." Ami said.
"Sorry everyone. When we got to the Mizel Trouzer, the only one there was, well... Mizel." Hiro stated.
"But, this LBX came to us when you were in danger." Jin had kept the silver LBX from before. "Look familiar?"
I took a closer look then slapped my forehead in realization. "No way! That's Twilight! Only with a whole new design!"
"Exactly." He nodded. "Professor Oozora..."
"Right." She took the silver coloured Twilight and we followed her to the lab, where Eva's body is laid down on a bed... It doesn't look comfy... She placed Twilight on a computer and while the silver coating disappear, some kind of data bar filled up within the computer. "Install complete. She'll need time before she fully awakens. Pehaphs a few hours. You can all go check on her in the morning."
"Right." Jin was the first out of us all to leave.
~~~~~
And again, I decided to stay over at Kirito's place. Walking in, I realised what a mess I made last time I came in. "Whoa..."
"Yep. Now you know." He slumped himslef on the bed while I sat upside down on the chair again.
"Shouldn't we tidy up?" I asked.
"I'll do it tomorrow..." He said focusing on Fenrir Flare. "Anyway, how long are you gonna stay here? Or do you want something?"
I shut up for a moment before trying to squeeze out the words. "I... Want to contact my cousin... You know... To make sure he's okay in Russia..."
"What's in it for me?" He asked smirking.
". . . You dense fu-"
"Kidding. I'm kidding." He sat up and went to the computer. He typed in several stuffs and then dragged the chair I'm on, almost making me fall.
"Oi! Watch it!" I said.
"Whatever. Go talk." He spun the chair around and this time I really did fall.
"Hey! Niara!" I heard a kid's voice.
"Oi! Nikolai!" I greeted. "How's everyone?"
"Great! Since you saved the world!"
"I-It wasn't me! It was Ban!"
"But you were there too! And you helped! You're a hero too!"
". . . Thanks."
"Niara, when are you coming back?"
"Soon... Not that soon, but soon."
"How soon?"
"Say... A few months?"
"Awww okay."
"Yeah..."
"Oh! I have to go! Mom's calling me for dinner!"
"Bye."
And it got cut off. I sat down on the chair and sighed. "Man. Good thing they're ok..." I look back at Kirito and found him staring coldly at me. "What's with that face?"
". . . forget it."
"Okay... Oh yeah..." I stood up and head for the door. Then I look back at him. "See you in the underworld!" And then ran out.

Evangeline Mech:
My eyes blinked open and I found myself in a lab. "Eh? How did I get here?"
I got up from the bed and jumped down. I looked at Twilight on the table and took it with me. I walked out of the room, only to be bumped by someone running in the hallway.
"Oh sorry- Eva?!" Niara grabbed my colar and shook me non-stop. "You're up? Already? So soon? What happened to you? How did Mizel get to you? I'm glad you're alive!"
I blinked and looked at her questioningly. "What are you talking about? The last thing I remember, we were on our way to Tokio City on the Duck Shuttle."
"Eh?! But that was like... A week ago! Maybe a bit more!"
"A week ago? No, I'm pretty sure it was just yesterday..."
"No way! You really mean you don't know what's been happening?"
I shook my head. "No. Not really. I don't even get what you're talking about."
Right after, she dragged me to her room and locked the door. Then she faced me with a funny but frustrated face. "Dude! We had just defeated Mizel a few hours ago!"
"Really? Wow, I must've really missed a lot then..." I muttered.
"Yeah! And Professor Oozora told us more about you!"
"More about me? What do you mean?"
"Girl, you're human! And part computer."
". . . I think I would've guessed that when the doctors mentioned that I have a chip for a brain..."
"No! I mean... Know what? Go talk to Jin!"
"Oh yeah. Where is he, by the way?"
"His room. Duh."
"Oh. Ok. Thanks for the chat Niara." I got up and left the room.
Slowly, I walked towards his room. But when I got there, I got a strange feeling. I brought up my hand towards the door and noticed myself shaking while knocking the door. For some reason, I felt uncomfortable... Like I shouldn't have come here... But why? Jin's a nice person, even if he doesn't always make himself ought to be.
Then the door opened and fierce crimson orbs glared into my trembling ones. When he noticed it was me, his gaze softened and he let me in.
"How are you up this early?" He asked.
I blinked. "Um... I'm not so sure myself, but Niara said that you guys fixed the problem with Mizel, right?"
"Hm... So you don't remember helping us save Ban, Hiro and Ran?"
I shook my head. "No... Last thing I remember was being on the Duck Shuttle."
". . ." He sat on the bed and gestured me to follow. I sat next to him and tilted my head questioningly.
"Jin, what's going on? Why are you acting like this?"
He took a deep breath before pulling back his hair and sat up straight. "There's a lot of explaining to do."

Kaidou Jin:
I told her everything. Everything that happened ten years ago. Everything Prof. Oozora told us. And she just sat there listening in quietly.
"So then... I guess that means I really am an android?"
"Part android. Your still human too."
"Oh okay. That's good to know."
"You're not upset, right?"
"Not really. Just surprised that all the people in the lab managed tobhide that from me."
She laid down on the bed and I followed. I faced her. "You know, I'm actually kind if surprised you're not going to... You know..."
"Yeah. So am I... I just don't feel like it anymore." She said.
"Hm?"
"Well... While I was out, I felt like... Something was happening. Something changed because of that... Then, when you explained everything... Somehow, things just made more sense by the second..."
"Well that's... A strange way of putting it."
"Yeah well..." She shrugged. Then she blinked and smiled at me. "Can I stay here for the night? I don't really feel like walking all the way back to the girl's dorm areas."
I nudged her lightly. "Lazy bones."
But I let her anyway. By morning, everyone was swarming around her and asking questions, but once they settled, we had fun battles with each other.
Ban, Hiro and Ran would make the best team out of us all. Ami and Kazu are helping out at the store they went to. Gouda and Sendou would take turns being the main attraction or just bringing up kids to the place. Ban gets to stay with both his parents again. Hiro was finally able to spend some quality time with his mother. Ran was at the dojo, perhaphs getting annoyed by Otacross. Niara and Kirito are arguing again, as usual. Asuka went on her own path. Jessica and her father offered both Yuuya and me to stay in Country A, since I was already studying there anyway and Eva wanted to continue her studies as well.
In the end, everything worked out. We're all connected to these things called LBX.
