[The final bell rings, marking the end of yet another day of high school. Students begin to leave the school grounds, and among them are a group of girls who converse happily until they part ways.

But one of these girls is not like the rest. The ornaments in her hair make that obvious. A long time ago, some people she knew - people she fought alongside with - might have recognized her by it, even in her current attire.

She approaches a classic, black car that awaits her by the roadside. The vehicle has no driver...yet she gets in the back seat.

And inside, a voice greets her.]

So another day ends. I assume it was enjoyable as always, Mistress.


Yes.

I discover more and more every day, Morte. And still there is much to learn.


...Including what happened to the members of UG and Project Unification. I understand.

But are you certain this is the way you wish to do this? We could ask the parties involved in preserving your stasis and get the answers we need.

[As Fyra says this, she places a hand against her chest - where the Causality Reactor resides. It has completely settled in with its host by now, and emits a faint glow.]

...It seems that the development has come to us, instead.

Let us go, Morte.


As you command.

[The car's engines rev up, and it begins to move- in the direction of the explosion.

However, as it gains distance from the school, it morphs - taking the shape of a phantom motorcycle, whose wheels are covered in pale green energy. Astride this iron Steed, its Rider: a silver haired girl in a dark, gothic battle dress, whose face is obscured by a black, featureless mask.]

The world is never truly peaceful.

But, my friends...wherever you may be, know that I will continue to protect the innocents that reside here.


[She brandishes her scythe once again, into the fray.]
