Rex Crozzo, archon of the Wayward winds, effortlessly dodged the monster in front of him. While it is true that his primary weapon, Maker of Eden, was no slouch, it might destroy the entire space station. Shoving his coat aside, the action revealed a weapon strapped to his thigh, a gun.

Rex effortlessly caught the blade arm of a floating monster before shooting at its core and slamming it onto another monster before raising it above his head and blowing its head out. Turning around, the young man walked towards the girl before aiming his gun behind him over his shoulder and without looking back, destroyed the monster just behind him. 

"Amen," the former archon said as he spun his revolver and sheathed it back to his thigh. Gently, the young man brushed some strands of grey hair from the girl's face as he noticed the faint glow inside her. 

"How Ironic, a gnosis for me and whatever this thing is for you," the Anemo archon said as he looked to the side, towards a young man with features from Shenzhou or Asia and a girl with pink hair similar to Elysia. 

"Hey! You two okay?" The girl asked looking at both of them. 

"I'm fine, but she's passed out," the Anemo Archon explained as he looked around. Gently, the young man looked around as he felt something. 

(Anemo rex)

Shaking himself out of his stupor, the Anemo Archon noticed a hand on his coat. 

"Yes?" The young man looked at the girl. She clung to his form like a Koala. Just like...

White hair as beautiful as snow with blue eyes that glowed like sapphire gems.  

"Do you know them?" The girl asked in a monotone voice, reminding him of a gray-haired girl that floated in mid-air. 

"No, but they are friendly," The Anemo archon offered as he paused at something on display. 

"Why do they have my greatsword?!" The young man asked, panicking as he remembered leaving the weapon behind in favor of Maker of Eden's more versatile ability of creation due to its nature as the bearer of a shard of the Gem of truth. 

"Wait, is that yours?" The girl with pink hair asked while looking at the sword. Nodding at her words, the Anemo archon focused on the blade and soon, the greatsword appeared in his mind. Several millennia of knowledge regarding the Crozzo Family's mastery of war flowed through the Archon's mind as he spun the blade in one hand and effortlessly held it. 

"Yeah, I left it behind in my home before I went away," The Archon said as he looked over the blade. After all, he left it behind along with his doubts and regrets. "Incoming!" The Anemo Archon said as he went to a fighting style just as several more monsters appeared. 

Before the two could react, the Anemo Archon moved with fluid ease, dancing in the air as he cut the monsters down. Ending the maneuver, the young man saw several more creatures draw his gun. Less than a second later, the young man had already emptied the rest of his bullets causing the empty casing to fall on the ground 

Judgment's smoking barrel glinted with faint artificial light as he activated Maker of Eden's ability, created six more bullets for his revolver mid-air, and nonchalantly caught it in his revolver's cylinder.

'Man, I wish I had my copy of Cloud Atlas that Barbatos gave me,' The Anemo archon thought as he stored his Skyward Pride inside his Anemo Gnosis. Making sure that everything was in order, the young man holstered Judgment back on his thigh before approaching the trio. 

"Woah! How did you do that?!" The girl with pink hair asked. 

"It's nothing really." The Anemo Archon replied, keeping his senses up as his cyan-green eyes looked at the group. "My name is Rex, Rex C. Anemoi,"

"Rex, huh? My name is March 7th." The girl said with a smile. 

"I am Dan Heng," the spearman said 

"Stelle," the gray-haired girl introduced. 

Dan Heng left the group to go find someone named Arlan, making Rex, March, and Stelle go on their way.

With practiced ease, the Anemo Archon wielded his Skyward Pride to eradicate all those monsters on their way while Stelle and March picked off the straggler.

"Phew, you two are quite the fighter, huh?" March said with a grin, looking at Stelle and Rex. 

"Where did you learn to fight like that?"  Stelle asked the Anemo Archon as she looked at him while looking at her bat.

"My family used to fight a war against a never-ending horde of monsters just until a few years ago," The Anemo Archon explained as he flicked some sort of liquid out of his blade. "Although, if it was either of my brothers, they would have cleared this entire space station of tangos in less than an hour or two," 

"Your brothers must be strong," Stelle said, giving the young Archon a smile. 

"Yes, Reve is named the Sword Saint of this generation while Rein was named the Lord commander of our House's Knight orders," Rex said, pride showing on his face as he remembered the day his oldest brother became the lord commander of all the knight orders under house Crozzo. 

"Rise, Lord Reinhardt Crozzo," the voice of his beloved great-granduncle, Otto Apocalypse, echoed with pride as Reinhardt stood tall, dressed in his tarnished armor that showed his years of combat experience. 

A younger Rex, holding onto Elysia's hand, looked in awe at his oldest brother. 

"Look, Rex," Elysia said with a smile, gently catching the attention of the youngest Crozzo. 

"Woah! Big bro looks so cool, big sis!" Rex said with a bright smile, making the young Apocalypse laugh and hug the little boy. "Hey, if you marry big bro... does that mean you can be my big sis for real?"

Hearing those words, Elysia's face turned to the same color as her hair. 

"Even Reve agrees with me! I would really love it if you became my big sis, Ely."

Reena Anemoi smiled as she played with Reese. The cousins (unknown to Reese and most of the others) watched as the enigmatic young woman that highly resembled a younger Kiana effortlessly calmed and matched the youngest Crozzo. 

Reena has even produced a beautiful white cloak with cyan-green designs similar to hers and wrapped it around the girl. 

Adam watched the girl with fear as he remembered that fight. 

A figure whose face was hidden under the shadows of the tattered and faded white cloak over his form as a book floated in his hand while his other held a spear in the other.

Roaring winds drowned out the voices of the entire universe around him as Void Archives looked at the figure in pure hatred. 

"You dare use his face!" The divine key shouted in pure rage as countless constructs surrounded him. "Boy! Succesor of his blade!" The divine key shouted, catching his attention. "I will open a path for you!"

"What's your plan in this?" Bronya asked, aiming her bladed pistol toward the divine Key. 

"I have no connections with this, successor," Void Archives said, raw hatred escaping his entire form as several more constructs approached the hooded male only to be reduced to scrap at the roaring winds that protected the male. "This is Cruz family business and it is personal," 

"Bold words," Bronya said, narrowing her eyes at the divine key only for her eyes to widen as Kiana Kaslana and Mei appeared, bypassing the storm winds. 

Kiana burning with the powers of the Herrscher of Flamescion, swung her blade while Mei Raiden glowed with electricity, only for the spear on his hand to deflect Mei's blade just as a typhoon made Kiana hit Mei with her body. 

Five typhoons formed around him as the winds removed his hood, revealing a mop of dark hair that reached his neck as the typhoons revealed five more spears. The spears lazily danced in the air as Bronya froze at the face of the young man.

Seele, who teleported in front of the young man, used her scythe and swung it, aiming to damage the construct, only for the young man to smile and for the Herrscher of death's attack to be blocked by the shaft of the spear on his hand while another spear smacked Seele's side, launching her away and for the spear to chase after the Herrscher like a bloodhound. 

"Adam!" Bronya called out to the young man beside her as she used her powers and formed her robotic companion. "Timido! Prepare yourself!"  The battle took a long time, minutes turned to hours, and finally, 

Adam raised his burning sword at the opening that the others have granted him as Welt Yang and Void archives restrained the construct while the others wrangled with the wind-like construct that was formed by the man. 

"Ah, that sword," The construct said as his blade sunk into the construct. A soothing voice echoed from it as the robotic dark eyes turned a beautiful shade of Cyan. He felt it, the Honkai infection in his veins receded as the entire air around them became clearer. "So, you were the one..." 

"Who... Who are you?" Adam panted as he looked at the construct impaled on the wall. A pure white cloak covered the young man as the blood that splattered on the wall made him resemble an angel despite the missing right arm.

"They chose well," the young man said with a smile, gently raising his hand and caressing Adam's cheek as his dark hair turned cyan green. "Burn me, the powers that I use, even just a fraction, is too dangerous," 

Tears fell from Adam's eyes as he felt it, the winds calmed and soothed his body, mind, heart, and soul. 

"Don't cry, young one. It just seemed like yesterday when Mei and I found you," The man whispered as a faint memory of a man covered his younger form with a white cloak. "Be brave, don't hesitate. The faint fragment I healed you with now resides in you and you have made it your own. Feel it, the harmony of the universe and the winds will respond to the songs you make,"

Adam nodded as the young man raised his hand and gently ruffled Adam's hair. The purple-pink lines on Adam's skin disappeared as the flames of the Labor of Olympus roared and with a faint smile, the pale imitation of the Anemo Archon was reduced to ashes in less than a second. 

Kiana landed on the ground.

"Where is he?! I have a bone to pick with that asshole!" Kiana shouted, looking like a feral cat, The young man said nothing before hearing the gasp of her instructor's girlfriend. 

"Senpai, your hair." True to Timido's words, Adam took a strand of his hair and his eyes widened at the cyan-green tip. 

"Reena, can you sing for me?" Reese asked, knowing in her heart that the young woman in front of her was a good singer. 

"I... I'm not that good compared to my dad," Reese said while Kiana scoffed. 

Kiana knew in her heart that the girl was a great singer. 

"Doubt that," Kiana said, looking at the girl. 

"Here!" Reese shouted as a lyre appeared in her hand via a cyan-green flash. While it would have made many people raise their brows, Reese has always been able to teleport things she was connected to her in a cyan-green flash. Rin's eyes widened as she looked at the harp. Someone had given it to her.

A faded image of a man with dark hair and cyan-green streaks smiled at her as he handed her a harp, guiding her finger to produce a beautiful melody.

"That harp..." Reena whispered as she gently cradled the harp. 

"Where did you see that?" Reinhardt asked, noting the familiar feeling that the harp invoked. He felt his heart tighten as an image of a young boy with dark hair and eyes overlapped with Reena's image. 

Reve saw the same thing and his hand clenched tightly, straining the glove he wore. An image of a boy with a bruised cheek pushing himself off the ground with a sword, smiling as he glared at his foe, appeared in his mind. 

Elysia, the one closest to *** other than his brothers, wept as Reena played the harp. Soft fingers delicately glided on the strings of the harp as the winds danced and sang around the young woman.

Forgotten days, a fading memory
Lost and no longer seeking one another
Desperately still, you're reaching toward him
Hopelessly certain you can mend the broken

Longing for a light lost in time, so distant

Pleading with fate, to be forgiving
Allow the shattered hearts to be regathered
Fighting for love to have a meaning
Without a promise to embrace the darkness

Hoping for a dream lost in light, so distant
Reasons ignored, no longer caring
How long it may take just to mend the heartbreak
Lost and unsure, the boy is fading

A distant fragment of nobody important

Wishing for a day lost in memories distant

Reena stopped her music as tears fell from her eyes as she held the harp close, the gentle memories of the time she spent with her father after forcing the shattered fragments of himself, despite the pain it caused him. 

"I... I'm sorr-" Unable to finish her apology, Kiana Kaslana enveloped the girl in a hug. 

All around her, except for Reese, Timido, and Carole tears fell from every face. Even for the scientist, Mobius. 

"Brat... do you love me that much more than Elysia that you copied my hair?" The infinite ouroboros asked as a boy looked at her. She could not hear his voice yet she knew the words that came out of his mouth. 

"What?! I like big sis Elysia just as I like you!" The boy shouted as he hugged her, his dark hair has turned cyan-green. She could not recall his face, yet. 

"That's an insult, brat." Mobius said, a teasing smile on her face as she ruffled the boy's hair. "Now, why don't you test this new piano," 

"Can I really?!" 

"Of course," Mobius said, a sincere smile forming on her face as she watched his smile as he played the piano. 

"It's okay," Kiana whispered, holding the girl close, gently rubbing her back. "You're a brave girl," Kiana whispered once more as the girl bawled in the arms of her older look-alike, the dark streaks on her hair turning cyan-green. Mei gently wrapped her arms around the two 

Reese, the little gremlin, looked down. Feeling guilty, the young gremlin scolded herself. Gently, Reese tugged on the white cloak Reena wore. "Sorry for making you cry," Reese said as she hugged her leg causing the princess of remembrance to smile and hug her little cousin after she kneeled.

"Thank you, Reese." Reena said as she hugged Reese. 

Veliona, who borrowed Seele's body in anger at hearing her cry, looked at Reena and widened her eyes. While almost everyone forgot, only a few did not. 

"Seele?" Mei asked, noticing the shift on her friend's body language. 

"You... you're that musician's kid," Veliona announced, looking at Reena Anemoi with narrowed crimson eyes. "WHERE IS HE?! HE BROKE HIS PROMISE TO ALL OF US!" Veliona roared towards the girl. 

"Father... Father is fragmented and he is resting in a bubble universe I created," Reena said, causing Veliona to look at her in shock. 

"That idiot..." Veliona said through gritted teeth. "We warned him... we tried stop him," Tears fell from the overprotective alter-ego's eyes as the memory of one of the first people to accept her unconditionally. "He... damn it!" Veliona shouted as she switched back with Seele to avoid showing weakness. 

Reve, the inheritor of the Crozzo family archives, looked at the ground just as his eyes widened. There were three swords, three inheritor swords only made for Crozzo blood-descendants. He had assumed that there were three because Reinhardt often kept a spare, yet. 

Sensing her boyfriend's thoughts, Bianka looked at Reve. Sharing a nod with each other, the two looked at their maid, Rita, who nodded back at them.
