"Yeah, you looked Troubled Ronan" Said Lynn

Ronan sight before turning towards them "let's just say girls that i have a Strange Dream" Said Ronan

"Dream?" Said Yoshika and Lynn

Ronan nod "Yes a Dream... a Dream that was so Real that as if i was there and i know what i'm doing" Said Ronan "And most of all... i've been dreaming like for years but it was only few Minutes when i woke up" He said

"Should you worried about it Ronan?" Said Lynn

Ronan shook his head "No need to my Dear" Said Ronan as he pat their heads "it's just a Dream" He said

"Well if you say so" Said Yoshika still worried "But please don't hesitate to ask for help okay?" Said Yoshika as she looked to his eyess

Ronan nod "Yes, i will" He said

With it they resume their walk, But Ronan's mind has Return back to the Dream "Why do i feel like i was dreaming for the longest time... Yet why do i feel like There is something in those Event? Something in History that was never Written? the Answer shall be wait for now"

Present

Ronan begun to have at least 100 Neuroi destroyed since of his first arrival in this reality, he was even sent to different battlefield that needed his firepower as the Higher ups have begun to try to bribe him but of course he have to politely decline, he might not be good in politics or perhaps he was he doesn't know why as he can spoke with the Generals in a Political manner like it was second nature to him despite he hated it and he is not that actively joining such conversation with his fellow military personal before

Due of his Action and Deeds he was quit popular with the rank and file personal due of his personalities and easy going as he was also able to make fast friends with them as he was easy to approach and even at the very least help command whenever if the Officer was either incompetent, Radio Jammed or Dead as he would be force to command and even coordinate which he was able to minimize their casualties as he have to be constantly on the front lines, though ground battles they have far more stubborn and fierce than their Air as the Ground forces has a better chance of defeating with little to no witch or air support as ground forces are capable of going toe-to-toe against the Neuroi ground forces as long as they able to prevent total air Superiority to the Neuroi's Favor something Ronan have learned since before he join the military

He even worked with other which is again witches much of his frustration and headache but it all gone when he met other ace pilots which brings relief to him

Since that day he had the same dream as before and have even consulted this to Eila though it was not recurring dream but it always return in a random time, and Eila being worried a suggested to him to have a rest something Ronan obey for now, though he has to ready when the dreams would occur

Ronan also told Eila to keep it a Secret for now despite her protest to him, the other one who knows it is Sanya who have overheard their Conversation as Ronan have personally ask Eila for help, Sanya then along with Eila have confessed their Feelings to him, he accepted it, For that he told them he has already Relationship with Mio, Lynn and Yoshika much of their Surprise for that but accepted it as they have all the girls have slowly treated him differently

Minna for her part suspect that there is something about the Girls and Ronan as they have treated him different as this time she din't shrugged it off and have to watch them closely and even conversation with Ronan whenever he was at her office helping her with her paperworks

After Exercise with Mio he goes for a fly a bit then he goes to the hanger when he Notice Yoshika Exiting from it he landed near her "Yoshika-chan" He called

"Oh hey Ronan-kun" Said Yoshika as she looks sad

"What's wrong Yoshika?" Ronan ask as he rub her hair

"Well i've tried to give the technician some some sweets, but they Said Commander Mina made a Rule of unnecessary conversation with the Witch" Said Yoshika

Ronan internally sight of course Yoshika has yet to know it of course he gives her a reassuring smile "I'll do it then, considering i'am not a witch thus i have freedom to talk to them" Said Ronan

Yoshika's face beam when he said "Really?" She ask not that she would be surprise as Ronan did have spent some time in the hanger with Shirley when it comes to maintenance and have spent working with the technicians

"Yes" Said Ronan as he gently took the Tray

Yoshika Jump and kiss his cheek "Thanks Ronan-kun!" She said before blushing of her Action

Ronan nod "You can go now" He said as Yoshika leave blushing but smiling

He Entered the hange as he saw the Technicians doing maintenance to the strikers

"Hey there people" Ronan called

The Technicians stop their working when they heard Ronan and saw him the Same Tray that Yoshika's brought

"Sir Belleza" Said 1st Technician with a nod

"is that the Same Sargent Miyafugi brought?" Said 2nd Technician

"Pretty much" Said Ronan as he put it in the Table "You know you should at least appreatiate the girl made an Effort"

"But you do know Commander Mina's Orders right?" Said 1st Techinician

Ronan snorted at that "Yet all of you don't have a problem when Shirley is the one who makes a Conversation" Said Ronan as he cross his arms

They Chuckled at that "Well we do know that Flight Lieutenant Yeager would disobey such a rule and she is mechanistic and she does not have a problem if we have conversation even if it's unnessary by the Commander's View" Said the 2nd Technician

"But still tell Sargent Miyafugi that we thanked her for preparing us some snacks Sir Belleza" Said the 1st Technician

Ronan nod "I will" He said as he leave

Scene Change 

The Akagi arrive in the 501st Base

Ronan was looking at it with Neutral Expression "Akagi, one of the Carriers that attack pearl harbor and it was sank during the battle of midway thus damaging more to the Imperial Japanese Navy and would not be able to replace such losses, Yamamoto might have ordered it to be destroyed but what he doesn't know America was already building newer and Better Aircaft Carrier thus it was all in Vain in his Action and giving more America chance to win the War against the Japanese During the Pacific war" Though of Ronan as he could not help but feel little Resentment towards the Fuso Carrier after all it's the Exact Copy of the Akagi in his Reality

As he walk he saw Yoshika, Lynn and a Japanese Sailor likely from Akagi holding a mail who appeared to be giving to it to Yoshika he decided to hide behind walls as he have to hear their conversation and he has a feeling that he might intervene soon

"T- Thank you very much protecting our ships!" Said the Sailor with a shy tone of his likely he had gathered his courage for this

Ronan mentally sight well not that he would judge the kid of being nervous with a girl even he was shy to confessed his feelings to his crush back in the high school days

"S- Sure you're welcome" Said Yoshika feel touche of his words

"Also... umm... please accept this" Said the Sailor

Yoshika looked confuse despite the sailor was already offering her a mail with Lynn realize it as she whisper to Yoshika "It must be a love letter" Lynn whispered into her ear

"Love letter?" Said Yoshika

"Yeah" Lynn replied with a nod "You should accept it" she said as she took the box

"But w--- we both love Ronan---" Yoshika tried to protest

"Well some boys would still though that we might reject it" Said Lynn with a reassuring smile "Besides it would be rude if you don't accept it, after all you saved them"

Yoshika nod as she blush as she looked at the sailor she reach at the mail but before she could take it a wind blow it away, which force them to catch it 

"Wait!" Said the sailor

Ronan mentally sight "When there's the moment then the next would be ruined" Though of Ronan as he decided to follow them

The mail landed in the brick

"What a relief" Said the sailor

Both the sailor and Yoshika tried to take it but their hands touch each other the two blush and the wind blows the Mail again

Ronan saw it and saw a particular person who catches it he frown at the person

"Commander Minna!" Yoshika called

Minna who have the looked of a stern officer her expression is also an annoyance "I made it clear that this sort of thing is strictly forbidden" Said Minna in a cold tone

"I'm sorry. i just really wanted to thank her" Said the sailor

"Yes. he hasn't done anything wrong" Said Yoshika

Minna approach them as she looked directly to the sailor "Unnecessary contact with the witches is strictly forbidden" Said Minna as she handed back the mail to the sailor "Therefor i'm returning this"

The sailor looked sad as he took the Mail as he bow "I'm very sorry" Said the Sailor as he run

Yoshika felt sorry for that

Ronan mentally sight "Minna... Minna... Minna" Ronan shake his head in disappointment towards Minna

As the sailor Run he bump into Ronan and he fell to the ground "Ouch!" He rub his ass "Sorry si---" He gasp when he realize he bump into Ronan who appeared to be thoughful before looking at him

"Sorry, din't see you coming" Said Ronan as he offer his hand, the Sailor accepted it and stand "I've seen enough, and i have to congratulate you to talk to a girl especially witch" he said

The sailor blush at that "Eh you saw?" He said in a meek tone

"Of course i saw how you gather your courage to speak with Yoshika-chan" Said Ronan with a friendly smile "But of course Minna's rule won't allow it as it was forbidden"

"But i would help you, i will give it to Yoshika" Said Ronan 

The Sailor face lip up "Truly?" He ask with a hopeful tone

"After you gather up your courage and it was wasted? well i'm not going to let it waste your efforts" Said Ronan

The sailor give him the mail and bow "Thank you sir!" He said as he leave happily

scene change

Ronan goes to Yoshika's Room he knock at their door at the moments notice it open revealing Yoshika "Ronan-kun" She said

Ronan smiled as he put his hand to his pocket "Well i was giving to you something" Said Ronan as he is searching for the Mail

"Something?" Said Yoshika

"Well someone wanted to give it to you, but well someone has to snach it away" Said Ronan with a Chuckle "Oh there it is" He said as he pulled out his hand with a mail

Yoshika gasp along with Lynn now that Ronan notice her "Yeah that's the same Sailor that wanted to give it to you Yoshika-chan" Said Ronan

Yoshika lit up before looking sad "Bu-- But what about Commander Minna?" She ask in a worried tone

"I'll take responsibilities" Said Ronan "But unless she saw it of course" he said with a Chuckle "And i can't let the lad who have made an Effort just to give you the mail right? so it won't be wasted and who knows either it's a love letter or a thank you card just appreciate his efforts"

Yoshika nod with a smile

"By the way nice doll" Ronan commented when he saw what's inside the box

"Thank's Ronan" Said Lynn as she waved at him

Ronan goes to Minna's Office as he was called

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Scene Change

Minna's office

"You called Commander?" Said Ronan as he close the Door

Minna nod as she sat "Yes, i have called you here that we will have operation tomorrow" Said Minna

"Is that all Commander?" Said Ronan with a raise eyebrow

"No" She said "Your Dismiss"

Ronan nod before he could turn he looked to Minna "You know you could at least let that Sailor Give his letter to Yoshika, after all She saved them and the guy made an Effort to give to her, since they might never met again" Said Ronan

Minna massage her head for that "And you know the Rules her Belleza" Said Minna with an Authoritative tone "Non-witches that have unnecessary conversatio---" She was interrupted

"Unnecessary Conversation are forbidden yeah i know that Rule since you told me that Personally Commander, but i'am not your Regular personnel and outside of chain of command thus i do have the freedom to talk to all of you since i'am part of the team" Said Ronan

"And what if their duty? it would lessen their effectiveness" Said Minna

"That's where your Wrong Minna" Said Ronan speaking of her first name with a narrowed tone "As long as they still able to do their Duty, as long as their relationship does not hinder them, then it's fine by me" he countered

Before Minna could speak Ronan beat her to it "I know that tone of yours Minna, you don't speak to me as a Commander but as a Woman who have lost a lover, isn't that Right Commander?" Said Ronan with a narrowed eyes as he looked Minna Directly in the Eyes

"And you have no Business to talk to me like that Belleza" Said Minna

"And if you think that would stop the girls, then well how about the Same Sex?" Said Ronan with a tone of Innocent "After all if you would not allow them to have conversation with boys, well they're female friends might put it up" 

Minna's jaw drop at that in realization

"You realize now Minna? That's the loophole Love is cannot be simply be stop by Rules that you put" Said Ronan "So your only slowing it down, as whether you like it or not it won't stop them even then they would still hurt because they lost their friends in War"

"Wh" Before Minna could speak Ronan put his hand to her Shoulder

"I've known your lost Minna, They talk to me about it... but it doesn't mean that you would force such a rule, many people saw witches as Heroes and Saviors let them see as such, and by your action it might make some resentment because how many men would die before Witches could arrive and Save the Day? how many men are only listed off of their deaths but while you witches would have held ceremony of awards, how Many men who does not have luxury that you witches have? Nothing" Said Ronan in a serious tone and Expression as he lean down

Minna step back by his tone, He never use this tone to any of them before, and his tone, something tells her that he held power that is not to be underestimated, last time she check many of the Soldiers, Marines, Pilots and Sailors have a High praise on him in the Report and news, something tells her that he might be a natural born leader and has yet to use it to full extent

"Just because you lost your boyfriend does not mean that you have the right to prevent them to fall in love Minna, and you know it that it cannot be stop no matter how hard you would try" Said Ronan

Minna felt angered by this as she tried to slap him only for him to catch her wrist "Your a Jerk Ronan! you don't know how it feels to lost!" Said Minna in angered tone as Tears threatening to fall in her eyes, now she realize that the witches have begun to act and treat him differently now, they either have a crust on him or perhaps beyond friendship if his act with Mio, Yoshika, Lynn and more recently Eila and Sanya

"And you think that your the only one who have lost to someone during War Minna!?" Ronan Raise his tone but not that loud

Minna again was taken aback as Ronan remove his hand from her wrist "Do not judge someone just because they do not appear to have lost friends and comrades, i have accepted it and move on, even as a temporary commander i have to make sure those man would come out alive and go home in the wars End, but do you know hurt it is to be a commander responsible to the lives of a thousand men? you know nothing of it Minna, you might have lost so little but i lost so Many when i command them, they pulled through because of my Actions and i have to make sure that we will have an Advantage against the Enemy" Said Ronan with a sight

He then pulled Minna into Hug much of her surprise at his action "Your not the only one have lost during the War Minna, Everyone lost someone during wars for the innocent will always suffer" Said Ronan

Minna let out a sob as she Hug him back "I'm sorry" She said softly as Ronan rub her back gently

The two stayed there for a minute before they pulled themselves, Minna blush as she felt her heart beats fast she looked away from him "If-- if they are precious to yo---"

She was interrupted "All of you are my friends and are precious to me Minna" Said Ronan softly

Minna nod meekly towards him "I--- i'll allow you t-- to have relationship with them.... but don't die" Said Minna

"I will" Said Ronan with a nod before leaving her "And i will make sure that it won't hinder our duty in the military" He added as Minna nod

Minna sunk in her seat as she looked to the windew as she mentally sight "Well not that i know of that they would disobey it regardless" Minna muttered as it would not be the first time that her groups would have conversation with non-witches especially shirley is being the number 1 as she is quite popular with the mechanics in the hanger as she herself have help them maintaining their strikers despite repeatedly protoest

Scene Change

Night

Mio Entered Minna's office

Minna Looked in the Window in the Night Sky having flashback of her dead boyfriend before Mio speak "I Heard what happened" Said Mio

Minna Turned towards her as she did not notice Mio have Entered her Office "Mio"

"I Hear you Refuse to accept the letter" Said Mio

Minna Turned away "Those are the rules" Said Minna

Mio approach her "You can't still forget?" Said Mio as she stand beside her

Minna shook her head "Who told you about the Incident?" Said Minna

"Lynn have told me about it" Said Mio with a sight as she turn to Minna "Minna how much do i have to tell you, many personnel would send letters just for appreciation and you know it many witches doesn't mind it at all: she said with a sight, it was not new to her since many have send letters for her Either it's love and mostly thank you cards for helping them which it touch her heart and it give her more reason to fight harder for her people and the human race

"Well you know i do not want them to feel what i feel of losing someone i love" Said Minna

"Then what are we then?" Said Mio with a little harsh tone which surprise Minna "We are friends Minna we are family it doesn't matter if we have a boyfriend or girlfriend or not, we would still feel the same even without the rules that you put minna"

"What? Like you and Ronan?" Said Minna as she eyed Mio

Mio maintain her expression never backing away "Ronan do also told me about our relation to you" Said Mio

"Then why did you keep it a secret from me Mio?" Said Minna with the face of betrayal

"The same rule that you apply Minna" Said Mio "You know as i that some witches fall in love to each other so your rules would be irrelevant and they would feel the same lose as you lose your boyfriend during the Evacuation"

Minna sight in defeat "perhaps you and Ronan are both right about that, lesbian thing among the witches are not uncommon" Said Minna she had notice it to other witches alright, which it would be hypocritical if she allowed her witches to do the same but not to men which would make her a hypocrite

"I Will allow your relation to Ronan, as long as it does not hinder to your duty" Said Minna

Mio smiled at that "But when your boyfriend still lives, does he hinder your duty as a witch before?" She ask

Minna shook her head "No, it din't and i will not see a problem because how you treated him since he first arrive here" Said Minna "But i have a feeling your not the only one does it?" She said as she raise her eyebrow at her friend

Mio Chuckled "No, i'm not" Said Mio before turning to serious "Let's get some rest, we have operation tomorrow"

Minna nod her head, as Mio was leaving she called her "I Saw Ronan talk to the Sailor, did he give the letter to Miyafugi? becaues i know Ronan would have likely done it, in the goodness in his heart" Said Minna

"He indeed have" Said Mio with a nod as she leave Minna behind

Scene change

Next day morning

They heard a Siren

"Reports indicate the enemy is on it's way here from Gallia" Said Minna

"Well, It appears they predict it again" Said Ronan in a sarcam 

Mio smirk and nod to Ronan "I Guess the prediction were again for once" Said Mio "Our Enemies likely feel that we would be predicting their movement again then attack us when we let our guard down or perhaps when we least Expect it"

Minna Nod at that "Yes, you are correct but let's back to the main topic, the Neuroi are moving in a prediction time and it's currently flying at 15,000 meters and heading straight for this base" Said Minna

"All right" Said Mio as she stand beside Minna "Our routine intercept pattern should suffice" she then looked to the paper that she is holding "Today's team would consist of Barkhorn and Hartman at the fore and Perrine and Lynne at the Rear, Miyafugi will be direct support for Minna and Me, shirley, Luchini, Eila and Sanya will remain at base on Standby" she said

Francesca begun to sing "Holding down the fort, Holding down the Fort!" Francesca sang

"Guess. i'll tune my Unit's setting" Said Shirley 

"And Ronan" Minna Turn to Ronan

"Yes?" Said Ronan as he put his hand behind his head

"You'll also be joining us, you would Either Support us when some Neroi pass them, you would be mostly joining Hartmen and Barkhorn at our fore"

Ronan nod "Understood Commander" Said Ronan

______________________________________________________________________________________________-

Scene Change

They take off from their Hanger and Fly towards their Objective as they Fly Ronan was In front of them (I See them) Said Ronan as he the Neuroi in front of them

Mio pull her Eyepatch "Enemy Sight" Said Mio

"What Type it is?" Said Minna

"300 Meters Class Commander" Said Ronan before Mio could respond as she would determining their Enemy

Mio nod "Our Usual Formation?" Said Mio

"Yes" Minna Replied

"Alright Charge!" Said Mio

With it, Ronan, Trude, Erica, Perrine, and Lynn break Formation as they begun to Engage the Neurio

But the Neuroi Suddenly break itself apart creating smaller more Numerous Neuroi

The Witches looked surprise at that, While Ronan Groan

"What?!" Said Trude with Wide Eyed

"It split into pieces!" Sad Mio

"Well it would be harder to Determiner of where the Core is" Said Ronan with a groan Facing such Enemies was not new to him and it pains him that he had to fight much harder than that

Minna begun to use her Magic "Lower Right, 80 Middle, 100, Left, 30" Said Minna as she respond at the Number of their Enemies

"210 in total, This is going to Turn into Medal of Honor Spree" Said Mio

"Yes" Minna Replied knowing that would be the case since every witches would participate but they are trained to control their impulse when it comes to that and she would make damm sure none of her witches would be hurt or worse killed in action just because they wanted the Medal of Honor

"Change of plans then commander, considering that it broke to pieces thus likely more independent enemy that we are going to face, while the Core would by pass us if we do not either kill all of them or detect it" Said Ronan

Minna Nod at that "Knowing the Neuroi themselves, those Smaller pieces would be just as armed but the consequance likely they would have lessen their Durability and easy to kill except without knowing where the Core, with their smaller size means faster regeneration" Said Minna with a grim tone

"So what's the plan?" Said Mio

"You look for the Core" Said Minna

"Understood" Mio replied

"Barkhorn's team will take the Middle" Said Minna

"Understood" Trude Replied

"Perrine's Team will take the right" Said Minna

"Understood" Perrine Replied

"Miyafugi, you'll act as direct support for Major Sakamoto" Said Minna

"Understood" Yoshika Replied

"Listen your job is to keep the Enemy away from her at all cost until she locates the core" Said Minna

"Yes Ma'am" Said Yoshika

"And Ronan, you'll be helping Both Barkhorn and Perrine's team in Engaging the Enemy, but Try to be near to us as much as possible, you will be our first line of Defense in case they by pass you" Said Minna

"Yes, Commander" Said Ronan

With it they Engage the Neuroi as they are Destroying them in groups as they have to make some of them to chase after them, It was effective as More and More Neuroi begun to Chase the Witches, thus it would give wider view for Mio to find the Core but it won't still be easy for her

Minna Dodging the Cubes as they attempt to shot at her but could not as she dodging them

"That's 10 down!" Said Erica as she destroyed Neuroi

"12 for me!" Said Trude

The two aces hover each other back to back

"Looks like this is good chance to really up our score" Said Trude

"Yeah it's been really slow going lately" Said Erica as both of them smirk

The two aces part ways and settle their score

"Listen your Gun isn't made for rapid firing Fall back and Aim" Said Perrine to Lynn as they Hover

"Right" Lynn nod in understanding

"You have my back" Said Perrine as she goes

As she gets near to the Neurois she begun to chant "Using this always makes my hair so uncooperative afterwards" Said Perrine

"TORNERRE!" Perrine spoke as release electricity out in her body that destroyed Neuroi that surround her

Perrine take pride in her work as she sway her hair "For me, this is easy as--" she was inruptted as Lynn fired his Sniper Rifle that destroyed a Neuroi that would about to Ram Perrine as she fired another that destroyed another Neuroi

"N- Not bad" Perrine Commented with a grateful smile

"Come at me you fools, Come to daddy!" Said Ronan as he was Followed Swarms of Neuroi that he was being chase by the largest number of them, as he Dodges their Beams 

When he counted 80 of them he then materialze number of weapons in his armor, his rear are mostly missiles, his shoulder are Gatling guns with smaller  beam turrets added to it, his hands covered with Multiple repulsor cannons both Small and Large, he smirk as he made drones armed with Repulsors 

"SAY TO MY LITTLE FRIEND BITCHES!" He said before firing his Repulsors and Missles to the Neuroi, the Neuroi realize it too late as they are being Obliterate by Ronan's sheer firepower 

"Hey no fair, that's 80 you destroyed just in 5 seconds!" Erica Whine with a pout "I Destroyed 15 for the last minute!" She said

"Well stop complaining and keep shooting some Bastard and maybe you could reach my kills" Said Ronan with a smirk "If you surpass me, i'll buy you some sweets, is that deal?" He said as he dodge a beam

Erica grin at that "Then, it's on!" Said Erica with great Motivation as she begun to fight harder

"Ronan don't encourage her" Trude Scolds him but her smirk says otherwise

"Well where's the fun if you don't have better motivation? and Let's be honest Medal of Honor would be just bored her in the Ceremony" Said Ronan as he punch a Neuroi

"Too True" Said Trude with a Nod as she destroyed Group of Neuroi

Yoshika could only looked in Awe at the Battle of how a Small Group like them able to fight the Vast number of Neurois "Everyone's Amazing" Said Yoshika

While Mio was Busy of searching for the Core, Yoshika saw 4 Neuroi approaching them she stop them as she shoot them

"Keep it up" Said Mio as she briefly glance at Yoshika before resuming her search

"Yes Ma'am" Said Yoshika

Erica being chase by the Neuroi and dodging their beams as she looked at her rear, she timed herself as she suddenly halt and the neurois by pass her and she destroyed them

"Twenty" Trude count "Damm it's not enough yet to reach his 100th kills" Trude Mutter 

"There's no end of Them" Said Erica

"Which one is the Core" Said Trude as they are getting frustration of killing the Neurois who keep regenerating themselves

"Likely Hiding, but i doubt it would be staying from this many cubes" Said Ronan as he flip and fire two repulsor that pierce the Neuroi destroying another 8 of them

(Mio, have you found them yet?) Said Ronan as he catch and throw 2 Neuroi

(No Luck Yet) Said Mio

Minna Hover beside her "Could this be another Diversion?" Said Minna

"I Don't think so. i Can sense the Core. It's just not inside that swarm" Said Mio

"The Battlefield is changing location" Said Minna

"Yes, We're approaching land" Said Mio as they watch the battlefield

Yoshika turn above them when she notice the Neuroi are coming from Above "Above!" She yelled

Mio Turn above them and saw 4 Neurois but they're block by the Sun "Damm, i Can't see" Said Mio

"I'll get them!" Said Yoshika as she chase after them, they're fired their beams, Yoshika summon her Shield that blocks the beams and vanish  She aimed her Machine gun and Fired that destroyed some of them, Minna Help her

"All right, that's it just little Longer" Said Mio

"Yes, Ma'am" Said Yoshika as she maintain her shoots

Mio's eye widen "Found it" Said Mio

"Is that it?" Said Minna

"Yes" Mio replied

"Attention, All squad members Enemy core located" Said Minna "We're going to take it down. so keep the others off of us" 

'Roger" They said

"Let's go" Said Minna as they begun to chase the Core

"Understood" They soon followed Minna

Ronan saw the Core that they are chasing and speed towards them, though Before he could reach them, Yoshika Destroyed the Neuroi, as the Core destroyed, every Cubes Shattered, every witches put up a shield

Ronan eyes widened when he notice a Shard Piece through Mio's Shield but luckily it got pass her

He was not alone as Even Minna saw it "Mio" Said Minna and Ronan in worried tone 

Ronan hover beside her as he remove his helmet "Are you alright?" Said Ronan as he put his hand to her shoulder and gently grasp it

Mio looked to Ronan as she regain her composure "I-- i'm fine don't worry" Said Mio

Lynn went to hug Yoshika "You're amazing, Yoshika!" Said Lynn as she hug Yoshika as the two rolled before they pulled away

Perrine cross her arms and looked away "That was only a fluke" Said Perrine with a huff

"No, it's quite difficult to hit an erratically moving enemy" Said Trude 

"You're great, Miyafugi" Erica praise her

Yoshika rub her hair and laugh and blush "D-- Do you think so?" Said Yoshika

They looked below them and it appears to be devastated city "It's beautiful" Yoshika commented

"Yes, Once they wind up like that" Said Mio as she nod

"Beautiful flowers have thorns as they saw" Said Perrine in a poetic tone

"Are you sure you're not referring to yourself" Said Ronan with a deadpanned expression with Erica giggled

Perrine turn to him with angry expression "How rude!" Said Perrine before looking away with a blush "Though i will admit to the part about being Beautiful"

"Meaning you're full of thorns" Erica Added which Irritate Perrine Even more, Ronan chuckled at that and they high five

 "Why you people always try to find fault with others" Said Perrine

"Well it's because your quite full of yourself?" Said Ronan with a smirk and sarcram

Erica giggled "Ha ha, you're full of thorns" Erica teases her

Minna looked down below and saw a particular car and descend

"Minna...?" Said Trude with the looked of Confusion and worry

"Hey, where are you...?" Said Erica

Erica Tried to chase after Minna but she was block by Mio "Wait, Let's  let her be by herself" Said Mio

"Oh i see" Said Trude in realization
