"Kiana!" Shouted Bronya as they all rushed ahead as Alex caught her before she hit the ground.

"You've all...I can't believe you've thrown away your happiness just to come here and...and how? It's impossible." Said Kevin.

"Your....your Kevin Kaslana, right?" Asked Yae.

"That's right." Replied Kevin. "More importantly, why are...."

"Wait. Why's the precious world's here still alive after all these years?" Asked Himeko.

"He was in a cryogenic chamber. That's how he's still alive." Said Otto. "Not only that, he's also the one who's generated the whole distorted reality. Isn't that right, Kevin?"

"All of this was done for your own joy." He said.

"Our joy?" Asked Theresa.

"That's right. I only wanted to grant your wishes. Each and every one." He said.

"Wait you what!? What do you mean!? We never wished for anything like th-." Said Himeko before she was interrupted.

"Is that really true?" Asked Kevin.

"Huh"?

"No, never mind. So, you all intend to deny the reality I've created for you. If you want to fight me, then so be it. If you want to defeat me, that's fine too, but before that, I think there's still room for discussion here. Also, I believe taking care of Ms. Kaslana is more important than settling this issue right now." Said Kevin.

"Planning to run again?" Asked Otto.

"We can get back to fighting, if that's what you really want, but, I think your rather exhausted at the moment.

Otto had nothing else to say as Kevin did indeed have a good point.

"Ngh." Quietly said K-423 as she groaned which turned everyone's attention to her.

Kevin then flashed away as he was now gone from center stage, as his voice now played over the intercom.

"There's still time. In three weeks, I'll hear your final decision. If your views can't allign with mine by then, we'll have no other choice but a physical altercation. As much as I would loathe that, I still can't give up what I've started. What I swore I'd do, on the day I lost everything that mattered to me!"

With that, the intercom went off as that left the group on their own at center stage.

"The Bronya wants to pursue Subject Kevin, but The Bronya doubts that's even possible right now." Said Bronya.

"Let's get out of here. Kiana's gotta rest anyways." Said Himeko.

With that, everyone got up, as Alex carried K-423 on his back as they all left the auditorium and after using Fenghuang Down, had returned to Kevin's altered reality.

"I'm just shocked as I was when we first came here." Said Theresa. "This place is clearly visible, yet no one bats an eye towards it."

"Um, does this mean reality's broken right now, or something?" Asked Himeko.  "Something to do with this Kevin guy, anyway."

"Hey, Alex. How much do you already know about this stuff?" Asked Yae.

Alex then spoke for a bit, informing everyone on everything that had taken place before their arrival.

"So Kevin...." Said Yae trailing off.

"He altered our reality, to make our dreams come true?" Asked Mei.

"This is all too much for me to handle at once." Said Theresa.

As they were all speaking amongst one another, Otto had walked up to the group.

"Apologies for the interruption. Mind if I interject?" He asked.

"That's right! Otto!" Said Himeko about to get ready to fight until Otto calmed her down.

"There's no reason to be defensive. Had I wished to kill you all, I would've simply done so already." He said.

"Otto's not our enemy." Said Alex.

"So the Overseer is not here to fight us?" Asked Bronya.

"I've already put our feud behind me. Not only that, since Alex and I both refuse to accept reality as Kevin sees fit to make it, we currently have the same goal." Said Otto.

"So, what your saying is your using him?" Bluntly asked Yae.

"What about the rest of you?" Asked Otto shrugging off what Yae had just said. "Considering how you were all living your ideal lives in that other reality until you decided to come here. Kevin seems to be telling the truth about taking your happiness into consideration. Its obvious Kevin's gonna be unlike any other antagonist you've all encountered before. Now that you know his intentions, I'm most intrested in learning whether you still plan on fighting him or not."

Otto finished his speech as the others kept quiet.

"What do you mean?" Asked Theresa.

"I'm up against someone with the power to distort reality as we know it. The more allies on my side, the better. If we all share the same goal, shouldn't we join forces and improve our odds?" Asked Otto.

No on answered as K-423 quietly stirred again.

"I'll be going now. Be sure to consider my point."

With that, Otto walked away.

"H-Hey. Hey!" Said Himeko trying to get his attention only to fail as she sighed. "Geez."

"Ms. Kaslana. Are you alright?" Asked Yae.

"I..."

"Can you stand?" Asked Alex.

"O-Oh um, yes."

With that, Alex lowered K-423 to the ground as she got off his back and stood on her own.

"I'm, sorry that I caused you all so much trouble." She said.

"No need. You don't need to apologize Kiana." Said Himeko.

"The Bronya suggests that we all go our separate ways for now and discuss it at a better time." Said Bronya.

"Yeah. Tomorrow we can....." Said Himeko.

"Are you sure we should meet so soon?" Asked Theresa. "We still don't have any idea what we want to do from here on out though."

"We've got time. Kevin said he'll wait for three more weeks before....let's really think it over before making our decision." Said Yae.

With that, everyone nodded and went their separate ways.

After walking back, night had arrived as Alex and Yae made it back to the apartment as both sat on the couch as everyone was sleep already.

"My younger sister is probably gone again now that I've gone against this reality. To be honest, I think it's better this way. To have her soul be at ease and return to the planet's lifestream." Said Yae.

"I agree. This reality isn't allowing the souls that have departed us to rest in peace. That's why we need to do all that we can to return back to the real reality." Said Alex.

"Don't be hasty. We have three weeks to truly think this over. For now, let's get some rest."

Alex nodded as the two bid each other a good night as they walked to their respective rooms.

Whatever happened in the next three weeks would change the entire history of the world as we know it.
