"So... I can control time.." - You said, while looking back to the robots you take down just a moment ago.

All you did is trying to active something... Inside your body... You don't know why, but you can sense something.

Some sort of power.

You head back to the jet, the girls see you.

"Captain..."

"Mission complete. Head back to Hyperion, girls." - You said, then going inside the jet, while looking back.

Later, back to Hyperion.

Theresa, Himeko, Fu Hua, Mei, Bronya, Kiana and Durandal are inside with you.

Discussing.

"So. Our main goal is take back Anik. Has done." - You said, while looking outside.

"Yes. And what should we do next? We've claim war against Otto." - Himeko said.

"... No. It's me and Anti-Entropy now. You girls did a great job."

"What?"

"Remember what we're here for. Take Anik back. And it's done. You girls have no purpose to stay in this fight any longer." - You said, and take a look at your hand. "And take Anik with you."

"But..."

"No but. You girls are done now. Now go as far as you can, away from this fight. And wait for good news."

"... Sorry Cap. We're not going to retreat." - Theresa said.

"You could die."

"Yes."

"And yet, you still want to join a war you didn't have to?" - You ask, while approaching her.

"Not only her, Cap. We're joining as well." - Mei said.

"..." - You looking at them.

"And besides, how long will you last in the battlefield." - Kiana said. "I'm very thankful for you to saving me last night. And i'll join this fight. No matter what."

"... Fine. Durandal, Fu Hua?" - You ask them.

"... I... Followed Otto because i believed what he did was right. Billions could die without Schicksal. But... Thinking all he've done... And mine... Am i forgiveable? But still... Rita is still in his hands, as well as my team. So let me help you. And get my team out." - Durandal said.

"..." - You look to Fu Hua.

"And i, remembered. When saw the Divine Key got destroyed." - She said.

"Remember what?"

"Everything."

"..."

"I'm going with you."

"Suit up. Change the direction of Hyperion, destination : Schicksal's HQ. We're going to take him down this time." - You said, then going outside, head to Anik's room.

You open the door, she's inside.

"Y/n..."

"Everything is alright." - You said. "Tesla and others will get here soon, i believe they'll have a way to help you."

"But... What if... They can't?" - She's shaking, even she's a zombie.

"Don't be so stupid." - You hug her. "They're one of the best scientists in the world... And even if they can't. I'm with you until the end of the line." - You said.

"Really?..."

"Yes. I promise, not to let you go this time. You're forever with me." - You said.

"..."

Outside, at Kiana's room, she's readying her weapons, checking out her battlesuit.

And the door opens.

"Hm? Mei?" - She ask, and not even looking at the figure just walks in.

Suddenly, some sort of liquid got injected into her body, through a needle on her neck.

She slowly turning back, and she's losing her mind.

"... You're..."

"Sorry. Miss Kiana." - It's Rita, which a small device on her neck.

"Why..."

"Hail Hydra."

Kiana passed out, then Rita slowly left the room, and when she got out the hallway, she met Durandal, holding a lance.

"Rita?"

"..."

".. You're being controlling..." - Durandal looks to the device on her neck, it's like a chip.

Rita slowly walking towards Durandal, and Durandal point her lance at Rita, she stopped.

"..."

"..."

"How did you get on Hyperion."

"That's not important anymore, Durandal." - Otto's voice appears through the device on her neck.

"Otto!"

"Hmph, my plan is complete."

In a blink of an eye, Durandal disappear, she takes the device out of Rita, then Rita passed out, she catches Rita, and looking at the device.

"Otto... What did you do?"

"I said, my plan is complete. Now not only you, or Hyperion, but Anti-Entropy will fall."

Otto said, then the device is getting hotter, Durandal have a bad feeling about it, so she throws it away, and it explodes.

You also heard it.

"... Stay in this room, lock the door, do not open it. No matter what, Anik." - You said, then open the door, and going out.

And Anik just locked the door, sitting in the corner, hoping you'll be back with her soon.

And away from Hyperion, 20 kilometers. An aircraft from Anti-Entropy is approaching.

"Okay, we're going to contact him." - Welt said, then he pick up a phone.

Back to Hyperion.

"What happened?" - You came, just to see some smokes in the hallway, with Durandal and Rita on her hands. "..." - You're in guard mode.

"No, Y/n, she's safe, she was controlled by Otto."

"I see... But how did she get on Hyperion."

"I don't know either... But Otto... He said the plan is complete... What plan..."

"... Durandal, get Rita to somewhere else safe, and gather everyone there, tell Ai-chan to ready the Quinjet."

"Yes..."

"I suddenly have a bad feeling about this..." - You said, then heads to Kiana's room, knocking on her door. "Kiana, enemy just got onto Hyperion, are you okay inside there?"

You didn't hear anything inside.

"... Kiana?"

And a light appears inside the room, you takes out a blade, but before you can do anything else, the room was exploded from inside, you got send flying back against a wall.

"Ouch... Ouch... Ouch..." - You slowly getting up, glad that you're still wearing your battlesuit, so you don't suffer much damage.

But what was that explosion came from Kiana's room?

You take the blade out, and slowly walks to that room.

Smoke keep leaking out, it's messy inside. Literally everything in that room are damaged.

You peek in, sees someone.

"... Kiana?"

The figure immediately turns back to you, she has white, long hair, like Kiana, but her costume is different from before. Plus, her eyes are now yellow.

"... You're not Kiana." - As you said, you immediately attack her, but she got your neck. And got the blades out.

She grabs you, you can't breath, and tries to get her hand off.

"This power... Shit..." - You curse in front of her, as she's slowly holding tighter.

"This power.... You're also a Herrscher?" - The girl ask.

"Also....??....." - You're still struggling.

But she slowly getting let you go, down to the floor.

"Ahh....... Ahh....." - You're taking back your strength, but can you win against her?

Only one way to find out.

You reach the blade, but her foot steps on your hand.

"Now now... We're not done talking yet..." - She said. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Sirin, the second Herrscher."

"Second... Herrscher.... You're..." - You suddenly have alot of flashback about her.

"So you've heard about me as well.... Hm... Y/n, right? Just in time i have an offer for you."

"Offer...?"

"Join my force, together, we'll erase Humanity. Or i'll kill you." - She said with a dangerous voice, you know she'll do it.

"Captain! Where are you!!" - You heard Mei's voice on the hallway.

"Mei?"

"Hmph, trouble come..."

"Captain! Where are you!!"

"Hey, Y/n, tell her to get in here, so i can get the gem from her."

"..." - You're thinking, should do after her words or not.

"Captain!!"

"Now.... Hurry up... Or i'll kill you." - Sirin said.

"If- If i call her here... Will you... Spare my life?"

"Yes.... I will... And i'll take that as you joined my side."

"..."

"Captain!! Where are you?"

"Now... Hurry up, hurry up and call her in."

You :

"What?" - Sirin surprised.

"Hmph, one of my favorite things to do is tell something i think is strong 'no'. Hurry up! Mei! Get out of this area now! There's an enemy here!" - You shout.

"You.... You dare to!" - Sirin is now angry, you quickly takes your hand up, and reach another blade.

"You really want to fight. Come." - You prepared.

"I'll make you wish to die." - She said, and takes out some floating lances.

And launches it all straight at you.

"King Crimson!" - You active the time ability again, this time, you skipped through a few seconds.

Imagine it is like King Crimson's ability.

A world without time, where everyone's move is automatically, and they don't remember what did they did in this time.

A cloud in the sky doesn't know when did they break out.

A flame that extinguished doesn't even know the moment it went out.

This is King Crimson's ability.

You see the next movements of the lances, and dodges all of it.

And also read her movement, you can only skip time, stop time, rewind time, speed up time, slow down time, read people's action for next 7 seconds.

And you have to wait a few seconds before using abilities again.

This ability affected the whole world, not just a small area around you.

Time resume. The lances missed you, and Sirin moved away from her position.

"You.... Who are you.." - Sirin ask, as the lances slowly flying back to her.

"I am Y/n L/n, a man seek for revenge. Also... I am the Herrscher of Time. You shall not stop me here." - You said, while facing with her.

"Hmph... Very well... Herrscher of Time. I'll kill you."
