Cyla's scythe (not sword) collided with Victor's armor. She managed to blow Victor away, but there seemed to be something off. The armor was incredibly strong, to the point where she couldn't slash through it - and it also seemed to be able to deal with the steel melting fire. In front of her was a Cyborg that was truly a juggernaut, hard to bring down. However, Cyla was significantly lighter on her feet, and faster, so she intended to overwhelm the behemoth that was Victor with rapid attacks.

When he was blown away, Cyla did not let up. She immediately pushed off of the ground and went after Victor. By the time he came to a stop from being forcefully pushed away, Victor would find Cyla in front of him once again.

This time, she held the scythe in a reverse grip, with the long snath/shaft pointing toward Victor. Intense fire swirled around the snath and black Busou-shoku no Haki clad the very tip. Cyla stabbed forward with the tip of the snath, aiming to slam it into Victor's abdomen, where she earlier slashed. If the tip of the snath collided with his armor, an intense amount of fire and black Busou-shoku no Haki would explode forth, aiming to pierce Victor's armor in what could be described as a fiery stab.

Ignition Pierce...!

DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 8. Island Level

In the meantime, Sephiroth and Gabriel had entered the mansion, where Camille greeted the two Lunarians. Sephiroth gave his name, as well as his reason for being here. Camille was curious about the other's name, which she received as well.

The name is Gabriel.

Gabriel said, before Camille continued, addressing Sephiroth's plans of using the mansion as a stronghold against the Navy. Camille smiled, calling Sephiroth's request highly demanding. However, her next words revealed perhaps Sephiroth had a chance after all. Camille asked what they would be getting in return. Sephiroth's answer could, potentially, shock her.

In return, I offer an alliance. If this island ever comes under attack, I will be its protector. So long as it serves me now in my time of need.

Sephiroth said, his gaze intense.

I am a strong ally to have.

Cyla vs Victor
Victor was blown away by Cyla's prior attack. He found himself several meters away from his last location but the moment he was trying to rise up, his foe was no longer where she's at. "?!!"

The Lunarian capitalised on the obvious difference between their agility and before the Cyborg could even get his footing back, a follow-up attack is already on its way. The scythe's tip was employed by flames and Haki and altogether, they swirled at the very index of the weapon. And with a forward stab, his abdomen was the apparent target of the attack. If Cyla could only see Victor's eyes, they were covered in shock and excitement. Indeed, the combination of that element, her sheer strength, and her willpower was a sight to see. However, she is yet to unravel the mystery behind his vanguard. Else, all these attacks are nothing but a waste of energy.

[WHIRRING!]

A loud collision of metals roared across the battlefield. The swirling fire and Haki created a whirring sound as the tip tried to penetrate his armour but as sturdy as a mountain, it wouldn't break. But at least, it left a shallow dent in his armoured abdomen. The very impact of that attack sent Victor ridging backwards and far away from the epicentre. "SUCH. AGILITY!", he remarked. And then he thought to himself, SO. THIS. IS. WHAT. THIS. RACE. IS. CAPABLE. OF. SCARY...
ISLAND-LEVEL ATTACK VS VICTOR'S TOTAL DURABILITY = ???

"DIFFERENT. ATTACK. SAME. OUTPUT.", Victor said as he quickly rose up by using a rocket booster mounted on his back to push him upwards. "YOU. NEED. TO. BETTER. THAN. THAT.", his robotic voice continued. Taking advantage of the rocket booster, Victor skyrocketed. Mid-air, he positioned his arms at Cyla's location. And from his shoulders, barrels of shouldered weapons appeared. And from that rocket launchers, dozens of ammunition came plummeting at Cyla and the immediate 10 meter-radius around her.



Total DPR for each rocket: 6. City Level

Inside the Mansion
Gabriel finally revealed his name and in response, Camille raised her left eyebrow while smiling in a flirtatious manner. She then winked at Sephiroth. That wink did not hold the same level of passion as she did for Gabriel. Something was coming. "Gracias Gabriel.", she turned back to him. "You have a mighty name. It means strength as a God. And I look forward to knowing whatsoever strength you have."

As Camille stated, Orianna in a dark room was sitting on a chair. And because of the darkness, it's hard to tell whatsoever things are in there. The only thing that dims is the radiance of her eyes. Blue in nature. She was drinking a glass of wine. Gentle and elegant.

Back in the reception hall, Sephiroth presented an offer. It's hard to refuse, knowing the infamy of the Lunarian leader. Camille has something to say. "I can tell how strong you are. I may be an elegant woman but I know things. Sephiroth, you are not here to take shelter. Are you an orphan? No, you're not."

As Camille said that, suddenly, the very block Sephiroth was standing at was surrounded by an invisible barrier, up to the ceiling. And the ground his feet were on, suddenly opened, taking him to the bottom-most section of the mansion. It's about 100 meters from where the reception hall is at. Normally, people falling from this height would go "Waaaaaaaaaaaaah", ultimately because of the sudden fall and the work of GRAVITY. But it's up to him what type of person he is. Nonetheless, once he reached the bottom, he would find himself, inside a very dark hall. It's not as massive as the reception hall but should he try to scan carefully, he would begin to smell something fermented for hundreds of years. Top-of-the-line wine. The older it gets, the better it tastes. The Lunarian has to choose his actions carefully for any mistakes inside this room would surely lead to something jeopardous. A voice would be heard, "No, you're not an orphan; an orphan lives and dies. But you do not know how to live. Living is being free to do what he or she wants in life. You're trapped in an endless loop of means to survive. That's not living. Tell me, what do you seek?"

Orianna said as she revealed herself from the darkness, surrounded by barrels of wine.

The tip of the scythe's snath collided with Victor's abdomen, or rather the thick plating that clad it. Victor was once again blown away - the strength, speed and Haki behind Cyla's attacks overwhelming. However, the armor stood, and albeit shallowly dented, it remained.

Tsch...

Annoyed by Victor's sturdy armor, Cyla cursed under her breath. She saw Victor take high up into the air, using the technology that he had been outfitted with, to take flight. Once up in the air, Victor pointed his arms down toward Cyla, shoulder barrels appearing. Rocket launchers. A number of rockets were fired down toward Cyla's location, but she would be undeterred. Victor had made a mistake. Perhaps he was able to take himself up into the air, but there was no way his speed or maneuverability could match Cyla up in the sky. Even on the ground, Cyla was faster and more agile. But up in the sky... Victor's heavy, hulking figure, relaying on a jet pack, would pale in comparison to a creature born for flight. A Lunarian.

Cyla flapped her wings, disappearing from her location. She flew up toward Victor, using her wings and nimble flight to move past the descending rockets. They bombarded the ground in Cyla's wake - but none had hit her. From there, Cyla flapped her wings again, accelerating into a complex, rapid aerial movement. Cyla blitzed past Victor, slashing at him with her Ignition Slash. Having flown past him, Cyla would turn and flap her wings, coming down toward Victor from behind, descending with a powerful Ignition Kick. From there, Cyla would flap her wings again, this time approaching from Victor's left. Her left hand flew forward, unleashing a powerful punch - her Ignition Impact. Lastly, Cyla approached from Victor's right, intense flames swirling around her scythe. The flames compressed at the edge of the blade and Cyla swung, unleashing her strongest flaming slash - her Ignition Split.





Cyla reappeared back on the ground, her feet touching the ground to land, sliding a number of meters before coming to a stop from the momentum. She inhaled deeply, before exhaling. The combination had taken a toll on her, and the use of black Busou-shoku no Haki for all of her attacks strained her - but she sought to overwhelm Victor's armor.

DPR (Ignition Kick): 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + B:+2 + COA: +2 = 7. Mountain Level

DPR (Ignition Slash): 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 8. Island Level

DPR (Ignition Impact): 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 9. Small Country Level

DPR (Ignition Split): 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 = 9. Small Country Level

Inside the mansion, the duo of Sephiroth and Gabriel conversed with Camille. The mysterious woman, flirtatious in nature, commented on Gabriel's name - stating that it was a name of strength. She returned her gaze toward Sephiroth, asking him if he was an orphan, seeking shelter here. Sephiroth's gaze narrowed, annoyed by the woman's word games. However, before he could react in any way, an invisible barrier suddenly surrounded Sephiroth. His eyes widened in surprise. Gabriel quickly turned toward the barrier, putting his hand on it - but it was sturdy. The floor underneath Sephiroth's feet suddenly opened up, and Sephiroth was sent into a freefall.

Tsch...

Sephiroth...!


Sephiroth grunted as he disappeared from sight - likely annoyed by the fact that he could no longer fly, which put him into a tough predicament at this point in time. Sephiroth freefell down a narrow shaft, before ultimately landing in a room underground. The room was dark, and it was hard to see around. Sephirot conjured a sphere of fire in the palm of his left hand, moving his hand about to illuminate the room to an extent. He saw barrels of wine all over the room, at which point a woman spoke. Following the direction of the voice, Sephiroth illuminated that part of the room, bringing Orianna into sight.

"No, you're not an orphan; an orphan lives and dies. But you do not know how to live. Living is being free to do what he or she wants in life. You're trapped in an endless loop of means to survive. That's not living. Tell me, what do you seek?"
Whether Orianna knew it or not, her question struck right into the heart of Sephiroth's quest. To live in peace - that was all he wanted. However, that was merely the end result. What Sephiroth had to do was end the world order that prevented a peaceful life for his people. With a glare in his eyes, Sephiroth answered Orianna's question.

I seek the destruction of the world order - and the birth of a new world.

Cyla vs Victor
The cyborg launched himself skyward and fire a flurry of rockets at Cyla. It might not be visually present, but he was grinning deep inside, thinking that he would carry out the plan to destroy the woman down below. However, as many as the ammunitions were, none of them landed on the Lunarian. Dancing in between the projectiles, she was able to take any minuscule damage at all. And yet, she kept on progressing and in a blink of an eye, she was upon him, dragging her scythe upwards as they ignited in sync with the lightning barrages. More likely Cyla being hit if her only focus was on him.

[CRAKLES!!!]

A whirring sound occurred once more the moment Cyla's blade rammed Victor's armour but like a couple of attacks prior, it didn't create significant damage. Victor didn't even need to block the attack for he was confident in the toughness of his armour. Thunder rolls continued and descended upon the two. And the radiance of nature would highlight the next attack the girl was up to. A destructive kick was unleashed upon his back after she dashed past him.

[FWOOSH!]

Victor was slammed but instead of a banging sound, a vacuum-like sound was created by that. If Cyla paid attention to her prior attack, a similar case already occurred. He did it once again, draining the firepower of the Ignition Kick. But the residue of that attack allowed her to blast the cyborg away. It's not the end. The Lunarian kept up, chasing down him. And from that velocity, generated a more dangerous prowess. She cut the air and then her left punch emerged quickly from his left, leaving no room to react.

Creaking, the left fist mauled the left side of his armoured torso as it punched through his left rib cage. And as the armour was broken into, its remnants would find their way being pulled by Cyla's front torso, forming like an armour of hers. Whether or not she'd noticed this during the succession of the attacks remains a mystery though. Nonetheless, it seemed that Cyla was able to decipher the puzzle. To land a more devastating attack. And by that logic, came the most pressing one ─ Ignition Split! She didn't disappoint for the moment she swung her demon edge, the very air space between them seemed to cry, overshadowing the rumbling of the sky. And when it made contact with Victor, rupturing her shield in its entirety.

[SLASH!]

The armour fell to pieces and clanked on the ground. If the enemy looked closely as she landed safely but quite exhausted, she would notice after the obscurity has cleared, the person hiding behind those towering machines. Here comes Victor. AKA Viktoria!



A short curly purple hair broke open in public. First time in decades. Her eyes drew sadness from the misery of her mystery. A broken left arm wounded forevermore. She stared at Cyla. It was not anger. It was envy. And from the robotic and monotonous tone came a pleasing yet menacing jealous witchy voice. "You're beautiful. Perhaps, one of the prettiest ones I've seen. I hate beautiful people. I want to destroy them!"

A little over 50 years ago, the three sisters: Orianna, Camille, and Viktoria were once slaves of the Celestial Dragons. They were subjects of a mad scientist who served the World Government. They might not rise from a distinct race but being a human presented more value than animals being their subjects. They were born poor. They were orphans. But they managed to survive the tides of human cruelty. Thanks to a certain someone who used to spark a worldwide revolution if not only due to his own blood's betrayal. That someone broke through the laboratories of the World Government has been once a member of them. That someone managed to free a dozen of teenage humans, including the three. Three mutated beasts, a couple of browned-skin infants, and the prime Lunarian-Oni subject. For quite some time, they journeyed the world finding answers to mysteries of the void. A certain incident would lead them to a certain island, the home of the person who rescued them. And they would dwell there in peace after approximately 14 years. When their saviour vanished from the island and was later on arrested by the Government, they thought he was dead so they fled and found shelter on Raijin Island. Nature would not be so friendly to them but thanks to the wisdom their saviour left them, they managed to survive and even the tides. Orianna and Camille kept their beauty but Viktoria wanted to keep the hatred towards the Government and the ever-fixed scar justifies it all.

"Just like me, you will end up the most disgusting creature ever!", the moment she said that the armour plating she deployed onto Cyla's front torso would begin to tick and radiate. Three blinks after, it will explode like an energy grenade magnified by her own ignition power that was drained by Viktoria in a couple of instances. There's a way to avoid this had she fully mastered Haki but she doubts it. And just like the potency of her prior attacks, the said explosion would erupt one rank higher.

[BOOM!]
8. Island Level + 1 rank = 9. Small Country Level

Inside The Mansion, Gabriel witnessed the disappearance of Sephiroth as he was dragged to the bottom-most part of the manor. He stood face to face with Camille who would then invite him to sit down on the table that would magically emerge from underneath the hall. More magically, foods are already served. The large dining table at the centre of the room is filled with tropical fruits of varying colours: grapes, bananas, strawberries, mangoes, lychees, and jackfruits at its centre. The wooden table adorned with apricot coating, shiny and bold is accompanied by 10 wooden chairs each on the long side. It is comfortable to sit on for it is topped with 2-inch foam dressed with floral sheets. Even the hand and backrests have it. The table is also matted with thin linens, oval in nature. All of these fashions are neath a Galant chandelier with 24 bulbs and a huge one at its core.

"Sit down.", she said. "Why did you join that man in his venture? I can sense. He's full of hatred. If you stay here, you would be autonomous. And as a welcome gift, you can take shelter in any room you desire. Gabriel."

Deep Underground the Mansion

Orianna dragged Sephiroth into her chambers of the finest wines they trade outside the terrestrial waters of Raijin. But unlike Camille who wished to flirt with Gabriel, Orianna is different. Having been the eldest of three sisters, she lacks compassion towards other people but she is very passionate and caring about her two siblings. She'd do anything necessary to protect them. Her menacing eyes dimmed and beamed as she stared at the Lunarian. And when he responded to her question. She stood up from her chair.

Sephiroth said:
I seek the destruction of the world order - and the birth of a new world.
"Destruction?", she begged his pardon.

"Don't make me laugh. You don't have the machinery or any means to do that. You don't even know what it means to survive. The last person I know who wished to overthrow the Government was killed in the process. That one happened to be our saviour, as well."

Orianna reminisced about their past and how tenderly they were loved by their saviour. They forgot everything the scientists did to them. After all, it was the comfort of the love of the family that mattered the most. They were loved, cared for, and above all, they were whole.

"Even if you manage to possess the power you want, what will you do next? Do you want to step into the brawl of the best and expect to win? You don't know anything about the world. Yes, it's cruel, we should know that above all others. Power is nothing. Vengeance is not anything. Timing, number, and resources are everything. You're a lost child who skipped childhood and pretend he's man enough to man up."

Words Sephiroth would not like to hear were sput by Orianna. The woman who shared the same cruelty of the world. She did not care about his strength. She would try the hardest to drag this man down. What would the Lunarian, brave and proud do?

Cyla's rapid barrage of attacks continued to bash against Victor's tough armor. Every time Cyla struck, there was a dent here and a dent there, a crack here and a crack there - until she unleashed some of her strongest attacks. Her powerful punch and later her strongest slash managed to overwhelm the armor, fully cracking it before cutting through it. However, right as the final strike came, a part of Victor's armor detached from him and latched onto Cyla's abdomen. Victor went crashlanding to the ground, and Cyla landed a few seconds later, breathing heavier. She was exhausted from the tough offensive that she had kept up - but she could still go on, and going all out was the only way to break through Victor's armor.

As the remnants of Victor's armor fell off of his body, the true nature and identity of Victor was revealed. Victoria - one of the three sisters of his mansion. With rage in her eyes, Victoria spoke, condemning Cyla's beauty.



"You're beautiful. Perhaps, one of the prettiest ones I've seen. I hate beautiful people. I want to destroy them!"

"Just like me, you will end up the most disgusting creature ever!"
Victoria said maliciously, as the armor that had latched onto Cyla started to beep and radiate. Cyla's eyes widened in shock as she realized what was about to happen. Wisps of black Busou-shoku no Haki and Lunarian fire were the last thing seen, before the armor erupted, engulfing Cyla in a powerful explosion. The explosion rocked the area, though Gabriel and Sephiroth couldn't hear it inside the mansion. Obscurity filled the area, slowly lingering. With time, the obscurity cleared and faded, blown apart by the winds of the stormy island. Cyla was seen at the center of a crater, crouching down on one knee. The palm of her free left hand was on the ground as well, supporting her from falling. Cyla was breathing heavily. Black Busou-shoku no Haki was fading from her body, signalling that she had used it to protect herself. Fire was also fading from her body - Cyla had used her Ignition Hellblaze technique, which erupted Lunarian fire out of her body. The outward explosion of fire mitigated the explosion that aimed to engulf her, though the Ignition Hellblaze technique could not be used to its full extent, due to the lack of time.

Luckily, as a Lunarian, Cyla boasted incredible resistance to fire, which helped her survive, together with her black Busou-shoku no Haki, as well as the Ignition Hellblaze technique.

Victoria's DPR: 9. Small Country Level

Cyla's DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 = 6. City Level

Attack is 3 DPR higher: Overwhelms the weaker attack but loses 2~DPR

Victoria's remaining DPR: 7. Mountain Level

Cyla's Durability: 61-80: 4. City Block Level + COA: +2 + Resistance to fire: +1 = 7. Mountain Level

DPR equal to durability: normal damage

Breathing heavier to catch up on her breath, Cyla glared at Victoria.

There's a deep hatred in your heart. It reminds me of a certain someone.

What happened to you?


Cyla asked, stopping the fight to talk.



Inside the mansion, Gabriel and Sephiroth had gotten separated. Upstairs, Gabriel saw a table appear. Camille invited him to sit down and talk. Gabriel obliged, sitting down on the chair - though he did not pick up or eat any of the food.

"Sit down.", she said. "Why did you join that man in his venture? I can sense. He's full of hatred. If you stay here, you would be autonomous. And as a welcome gift, you can take shelter in any room you desire. Gabriel."
Camille spoke, asking Gabriel why he followed Sephiroth - a man seemingly filled with hatred. Camille wanted Gabriel to stay here at the mansion, where he would be given autonomy, room and shelter. For a man like Gabriel, who had fought to survive his whole life, it was a tempting offer. However, he had learned something. And he had learned it from Sephiroth. In this world, Lunarians had no safety. And if safety appeared, it was likely fleeting. An island and a mansion to live on meant nothing, if the World Government showed up and took him away. There was no safety. The only way to acquire it, was Sephiroth's plan. Sephiroth had shared that plan with both Cyla and Gabriel after they escaped the Cipher Pol 2 base.

Looking at Camille, Gabriel spoke.

Thank you for your kind intentions. But there is no safety for us here. The World Government is already after us, and they are coming to this island. In fact, I already saw their ships earlier - they will be here any moment now.

We have but one choice - to fight. Sephiroth is incredibly strong. We intend to make it clear to the World Government that going after us is a lost cause and a waste of resources.


Gabriel said.






Down below, Sephiroth and Orianna spoke - the latter not as flirtatious or nice as her younger siblings.

"Destruction?", she begged his pardon.

"Don't make me laugh. You don't have the machinery or any means to do that. You don't even know what it means to survive. The last person I know who wished to overthrow the Government was killed in the process. That one happened to be our saviour, as well."

"Even if you manage to possess the power you want, what will you do next? Do you want to step into the brawl of the best and expect to win? You don't know anything about the world. Yes, it's cruel, we should know that above all others. Power is nothing. Vengeance is not anything. Timing, number, and resources are everything. You're a lost child who skipped childhood and pretend he's man enough to man up."
Sephiroth's words seemed absurd to Orianna, who did not believe he could fight the World Government off. After all, Orianna's savior had attempted it, and he paid for it with his life. And yet, Sephiroth remained firm. After all, there was nothing to talk about. The World Government was already here, on Raijin Island.

You would be foolish to believe in me. But...

The World Government is already here, on the shores of this island. I have fought two Vice Admirals before, and defeated them both. The only ones they can send after me now are Admirals.

I am sure one is here already.

So things are simple - this is my line of resistance. If I can't beat an Admiral, I will die or be imprisoned. But if I can beat one...

Then you will believe in me.



Sephiroth proclaimed. Behind him, the spirit of his younger self. A young Lunarian boy, still dreaming of freedom.

Cyla vs Victor
Two women. Two gorgeous creations of whoever the fuck they worship. Two visions. Only one mission. Survive. After a series of scientific arsenal exercises and a flurry of ignition attacks, the two would finally incur significant damage and a huge toll on their mortal flesh.

Viktoria revealed herself at long last and made her hatred known to her foe. And after a brief talk, the metal platings she latched onto Cyla's abdomen would begin to manifest their true horror. An energy bomb. And her intention would erupt into a cone of eruption, concealing a wide coverage area. She did not need to spread her awareness as she was confident that the bomb would end the woman's life. But that wasn't the case, as she tried to get up, limping, she noticed that as the smoke slowly tone down, a vision of her enemy emerged from the concealment down the crater the explosion has made. "No...", she said with a scowl on her face. She took decent damage but she was alive.

Cyla approaches. She talks.
There's a deep hatred in your heart. It reminds me of a certain someone.

What happened to you?
For the first in years, somebody finally braved the world in asking her. Particularly the emotion she had been keeping for so long. Viktoria would only look at her feet and touch the metal side of her face. It was a long story. The three sisters were 2 years apart from the eldest to the youngest. Her two older sisters always adored how elegantly beautiful she was back then. She remembered Orianna telling her, "My sweet Viktoria, you are the fairest of them all."

Camilla would second this, "To ends meet and back, mi hija. ♥", before kissing her good night. All underneath a concrete bridge in Tequila Wolf. Traders came and went. They were looking for humans without any future to survive. The three little girls, then 12, 10, and 8 were mindlessly kidnapped and tossed inside a wooden box. Aboard the ship, they had been hungry for 7 days, drinking their own piss, eating their own shit. Orianna even tore a part of her left leg only to feed her two younger sisters. A terrible night fucking mare. When the ship finally reached a certain location, they were blinded by the colour of the laboratory, all beaming in white. Alas, new subjects arrived. A certain man approached them, old and staggering. They would not even offer them something to take. They were thrown straight to a huge chamber together with many other races they only encountered that day.

Cyla broke her silence, "You would not even want to know."

As soon as she ended that statement, she recalled a familiar figure after seeing Cyla closer. "I have seen subjects of your own kind. They were the centrepiece of that hell. For years, they tried to study the blood components of Lunarians and how it could be the golden age of scientific discovery. Many died but only a few needed to survive."

"I envy your kind, not because of how beautifully you are created. But how foolishly short-lived your lives are. I deserved that!"
, she roared. Suddenly, for the first time, Viktoria encase herself with a vengeful aura before calling forth a piece of the torn metals she dismantled earlier, then re-attached it at her own will to fill her missing left arm. "Feel my hatred!"

The Cyborg dashed forth the weakened Lunarian with the improvised weapon in tow, her movement has been reduced significantly but her hatred has reached new exponents. Willpower encase her arms and bluish energy began to form inside the barrel of her right arm. And at a decent speed, upon reaching a couple of meters within Cyla, she fired a rocket punch infused with an explosive bluish energy beam with all her might, aiming to extinguish the lady before her. "Die!"

[FWOOOOOSH! BOOM!]

DPR: Large Country Level
Inside The Mansion
Camille and Gabriel are having dinner but Gabriel is not even picking anything so the former decided to pour herself a wine. As she drank, the latter finally talked longer. This time, with more conviction. She lent her ear.
Thank you for your kind intentions. But there is no safety for us here. The World Government is already after us, and they are coming to this island. In fact, I already saw their ships earlier - they will be here any moment now.

We have but one choice - to fight. Sephiroth is incredibly strong. We intend to make it clear to the World Government that going after us is a lost cause and a waste of resources.
"I see.", she responded.

"You're a man of principles. I admire men like that. Did you know? A long time ago, a certain man saved us from apparent hell and he brought us to his homeland after he abandoned his job as a top scientist that worked for a certain organization. And together with a dozen humans, some crazy beasts, a couple of browned-skin infants just like you two, and a hybrid of Lunarian and Oni, we escaped. He was hunted by the government, but their fortress is very formidable. That land has been in harmony for centuries. Can you believe that? But he was betrayed by his own kin. And the peace that we have shared for almost 15 years was put to an end. We fled and found ourselves here, our new fortress."

Camille filled her glass again before sipping a bit and then continued talking, "The two Lunarian babies were 15 when the coup erupted, and they were forced to kill each other as ordered by the Cipher Pol. Our saviour could not do anything because he was defending another tribe of his jurisdiction. And the Lunarian-Oni was in her labour at the time. I saw the two babies in you, that's why I wanted to keep you."

"But my younger sister's hatred towards herself manifests to anyone. Oh yes, she's a woman. Only defeat could make her realise her mistake."


Camille drank again, bottoms up. "I am not the violent type but you already won me. Trust. Willpower. The hunger for peace and harmony. You both possess those traits. If our saviour still lives, he would have admired you as well. To defeat the World Government, you need to equip yourselves with appropriate tools. You need connections. I can supply the tools you needed and a ship that you can use only if you managed to pull the strings against them. But the connections, you need to find a strong faction in order to survive the war you wish to have. It's not that simple. The three of you will only be eaten alive by the greatest of tides of the seas. Strength is not everything. You need everything to win."

Camille's right eye suddenly beamed purple thrice. She listened to the sound waves it conveyed. She turned back to the man. "Gabriel.", she said before weeping in his left eye. "That's the same name I gave one of the babies. The other one was Miguel."

She stood up and face the wall, disallowing Gabriel to see her feminine side and so, she quickly replaced that with an authoritative tone, "They are already ashore. Lightning signals tell us so. It's all up to Sephiroth now."

Deep Underground the Mansion

Orianna listened to Sephiroth's ideology. They are twisted but he has the will to change the world. Only, his vision revolves around his hatred. "You will suffer the same agony and defeat. Your heart is full of hatred. You will not win."

Orianna slowly approach Sephiroth but kept her distance and she began to walk in circles before continuing to lecture the young man. Her two arms conjured a couple of detachable daggers, initiating combat. She pointed the left one at Sephiroth's location. "So before it could even befall, I need to end you right here, right now. No more pain, you shall feel."

The daggers suddenly blitzed off her arms and at the speed of light darted towards Sephiroth's face. Orianna can control the motion of these weapons so the risk of ramming her precious wine barrels is very low. Even if he dodges, it would continue to try to hit him and every moment it was unstopped, the speed of these blades would magnify a rank faster!

"Velocity Blades...", she calmly spoke.
Small Country Level

"Tell me, what will you do after defeating one Admiral? Kill another one? How many decades do you think it will take you to finally eradicate them? You're not thinking child. How many more lives will you try to kill for your own satisfaction? It is not peace you are seeking for. Only vengeance. And we have had enough of that."

"Full Velocity!"

Cyla, still catching her breath, listened to Victoria speak. The young lady told her story - a story of anguish and borderline slavery. She had been experimented upon. In those hard times, she had met Cyla's kind. Lunarians, experimented upon all in order to bring forth the golden age of humanity. Cyla clenched her fist and grit her teeth. Hearing these things brought back the memories when she, herself, was experimented upon. But, an image in the likeness of Sephiroth broke Cyla's spiral into bad memories. He had saved her, and now, together, they were trying to live new lives. Lives of freedom, safety and harmony. But, Victoria was not as optimistic as Cyla was. After all, Victoria had seen her savior perish at the hands of the World Government. Cyla had not had that trauma yet.

With Victoria's emotions boiling over, she went onto the offensive. Pushing off of the ground, Victoria charged toward Cyla. Once she closed a fair bit of the distance, Victoria hurled her arm forward, firing her fist, together with explosive blue energy, unleashing a powerful rocket punch.

Tsch...!

Cyla stood up, swinging her sword from left to right - Ignition flames and black Busou-shoku no Haki trailing the swing of the sword. The blunt side of the blade hit the incoming fist. Sparks flew, but Cyla pushed through with her swing, deflecting the fist off to the side, parrying it. Cyla then pushed off of the ground, charging toward Victoria.

You deserved a short life? How foolish to say something like that.

We will pave a way for a peaceful life, up there in the sky!


Cyla shouted, the last part of her shout hinting at a part of Sephiroth's and the group's goal. Cyla closed the distance between herself and Victoria. Once in range, she swung her sword - but interestingly enough, Cyla was making sure to use the blunt side of her sword. Almost as if she was holding back.

DPR (the swing that parried the fist): 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + A:+3 + COA: +2 = 8. Island Level

DPR (the swing on Victoria): 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + D:+0 = 81-100: 3. Large Building Level



As the fight between Cyla and Victoria was nearing its end, so was Gabriel's conversation with Camille. His conviction had reached her heart, and Camille agreed. She, too, had information that the Navy had come ashore, and the Lunarians had no choice but to fight. To make a stand here. It was all up to Sephiroth. On that notion, Gabriel questioned what she had done with Sephiroth.

Without him, we don't stand a chance. Where did you take him?

Gabriel asked, referring to the secret hole that had opened up earlier, dropping Sephiroth into the depths of the mansion.



Unknown to Gabriel, Sephiroth had been brought to the oldest of the three sisters, Orianna. Sephiroth had made a proclamation.

You would be foolish to believe in me. But...

The World Government is already here, on the shores of this island. I have fought two Vice Admirals before, and defeated them both. The only ones they can send after me now are Admirals.

I am sure one is here already.

So things are simple - this is my line of resistance. If I can't beat an Admiral, I will die or be imprisoned. But if I can beat one...

Then you will believe in me.



Sephiroth proclaimed. Behind him, the spirit of his younger self. A young Lunarian boy, still dreaming of freedom.

And yet, Orianna did not believe him. She did not believe in the impossible - to triumph over the World Government. She would not watch an avenger fail once again, like her own savior before him. She would put an end to this now. She would put a premature end to a story that was destined for misery. Orianna had given up. But inside Sephiroth was the soul of a child. A child that sought freedom. He would reach for the sun and the moon, and no one was to stop him. Ultimate conviction. The velocity daggers cut through the air with incredible speed. But Sephiroth would not dodge. A small amount of blood splattered. But if Orianna looked, she would see what had happened. With his bare hands, clad with black Busou-shoku no Haki, Sephiroth had caught both of her velocity daggers. Overwhelming power. The velocity daggers should have cut through his bare hands cleanly, as they would through most any man.

But the fire burned strongly on Sephiroth's back. The ultimate durability of a Lunarian, and a man who carried unparalleled Haki.

Orianna's DPR: 9. Small Country Level

Sephiroth's Durability: 120: 7. Mountain Level + COA: +3 = 10. Large Country Level

DPR 1 below durability: somewhat effective

A small amount of blood trickled down Sephiroth's arms. Glaring at Orianna with triumphant conviction in his eyes, Sephiroth gave his answer.

Fighting against them will be hard. But fighting against them and you on top of that, will be even harder.

Stand down. I do not know what the future holds, but I will not die today. Today, I will fight.

Cyla vs Viktoria
Cyla and Viktoria still bouting for their lives and their beliefs. But the latter is a stubborn chick. Still inching herself to the distant past. A hope she couldn't muster to voice out. A coward. She decided to land an attack on her foe, beautiful as she was back then. However, Cyla is such a formidable opponent, her willpower alone proves that. With her rocket fist in projection, the Lunarian maiden blew it through, breaking her momentum. She was about to do a follow-up attack using the lightning storms but certain words would resonate into her deaf ears, recalling a similar one.
You deserved a short life? How foolish to say something like that.

We will pave a way for a peaceful life, up there in the sky!
Shortly when their saviour has freed them, the young Viktoria asked the scientist, "If you're just going to treat us as bad then just kill us here."

But the man before them didn't mean any harm, he asked them if they want to go with him and start a new life. "You rather be killed? How
foolish to say something like that. We will pave a way for a peaceful life, up there in the sky!
Together, we will live without any worries of being harmed."


Viktoria's eyes widened at the pure similarity of their words. Words that gave her hope when she was still a child; pure and innocent. For the first time, a father figure they all deserved came into their lives. These same words struck her more than the blows she incurred during this fight. And that deeply stunned her philosophy and obstinateness leaving herself for an open shot. And right before she knew it, the odd edge of the scythe would come ramming her body, sending her flying a dozen meters away as she skids into the ground.

Lightning continued to strike into the earth and with Viktoria's now vulnerable state, her control over the storm is inconsistent. Perhaps, out of control. A dozen of lightning streamed down at Viktoria's location, aiming to engulf her. Mayhaps, once hit, leads to the end she longed hoped for. "Father Kala─", she uttered weakly.

[CRACKLES]

Inside the Mansion
Camille was convinced by Gabriel. After all, she's the most logical of the three. But she's also the most emotional when talking about their past. Especially if the Lunarian babies they considered more than their own blood are concerned. She sees Gabriel as the baby brother they lost 35 years ago in North Blue. But she always believed in a second chance. Second coming. She never lost hope.

"I would not mind about him. A strong Marine is headed this way. I can delay them but this is no longer my battle."

"Sephiroth has to deal with my sister alone."

"Before you go. Can you tell me how old you are now?"
, she asked, hoping that he'd be around 50 and narrow down the theory that he could be their adopted brother. But all of these are pure hopeless longing for they all see Miguel and him kill each other in exchange for their freedom. "Never mind.", she followed through. And after that, the dining table she invoked a while ago would slowly be pulled back into the ground.

Deep Underground the Mansion
Orianna fired her velocity daggers with such speed it would annihilate a dozen of men in one swoop but the man before him is shockingly stronger than she ever thought of. And once Sephiroth stopped the blades dead in its track with sheer willpower, the white of her eyes seemed to separate from her pupils in terror. "A Haki user..."

"You're stronger than I thought you are. But you're holding back! Why don't you fight me?!"
, she roared, feeling disrespected. The man responded.
Fighting against them will be hard. But fighting against them and you on top of that, will be even harder.

Stand down. I do not know what the future holds, but I will not die today. Today, I will fight.
"I heard that once before! People like you have no integrity in keeping their promises!", she yelled once more. But this time, setting her fist in chilling temperature. Small orbs seemingly being generated from the barrels of her wrist where the blades came from earlier and echoing a whirring sound.

Then as she gritted her teeth, she looked back 35 years ago. Miguel and Gabriel were asked to finish off each by the World Government troops following the entry into this hostile land, currently under a state of revolution headed by their own saviour. The reward ─ freedom for the three siblings. "Nooo! Don't do this little brothers. Father will return and save us again.", Orianna implored, crying with all her heart.

"This is the only way big sisters.", Miguel said, smiling but tears rolled down their cheeks. Gabriel, the elder of the twins would pull his own brother's right arm that wielded a dagger, digging it into his own heart, instantly taking his young life. In conjunction, Gabriel already allowed his own dagger to impale his brother's heart as well. The two fell on the ground and all 15 years of their existence flashed back into their heads from the time they were brought into the laboratory, to the time they made their first steps, to the time they first called their names, and down to their deaths. Orianna and Camilla unloosed a cry so loud and despairing you could not even hear a minuscule sound for several moments.

The enemies became true to their words and did not touch them. For days, they waited for their Father's return but he never came back. The Lunarian-Oni who became their saviour's wife also died in childbirth and they only learnt from a trusted source that the infant was also killed on the same night. Without any other things left to stay on that forsaken island, they decided to leave. They braved the seas using only a raft and hopped from one island after island. Hunting down foods only to survive. They managed to reach the Grand Line at some point and as they grew older, they finally entered the New World and reached the nearest point off the Mountain and stayed there for good ─ Raijin Island.

Back to the present, the freezing orbs of energies intensify in his firing sockets and finally decided to up it a notch against Sephiroth ─ The False Crusader of Hope and Freedom. "You're mere words disgust me! Promises are made to be broken! I was hoping you'd say something else to convince me but all you did was enact the same foolishness each and every hero attempted!"

Back in her head, all she longs for. A reunion with his brothers together with her two precious sisters.

"Point Zero!", she roared as the orbs of freezing elements started to magnify their power inside those barrels. And then in a blink of an eye, dashed forth Sephiroth to land a flame-defying attack.

Cyla shouted, calling out Victoria's selfcenteredness. She was, after all, the youngest sibling. What she failed to realize, seeking a short life, was how this would impact the people around her. Two older sisters, who would stop at nothing to help their youngest sibling. Who love her more than anyone else ever could. There was no way Cyla could end the life of someone like that.

Her words resonated with Victora, even if only momentarily and on instinct - and this caused the young woman to falter for a split second. Cyla was upon her, swinging her scythe. She hit Victoria with the blunt edge of the scythe, sending her flying across the air. However, killing force was not used... how could it be, after all.

Victoria's body, after being flung through the air, collided with the ground with a loud thud - louder than any thunder that rumbled and crackled up in the sky. It appeared that Cyla had won the fight. However, the two young women had come to know one another throughout the fight. Opponents they were, but enemies they were not. Cyla started to notice that the rumbling up in the sky was losing its tempo. It was becoming erratic and unpredictable. Up until now, it looked like the storm was under some sort of control - but now, it looked out of control. Cyla realized what it was. Victoria no longer had the strength to command it.

A cluster of lightning started to gather in the sky above Victoria, and Cyla saw it.

Tsch damn it...!

Cyla realized what could happen. Casting her scythe to the side, Cyla jumped into action, closing the distance in a matter of moments. As the lightning bolt struck, Cyla managed to cover Victoria with her own body, wrapping both of them with her large, black wings - imbued with black Busou-shoku no Haki. Cyla endangered herself, but she saw potential in Victoria that she could not let disappear. It was not necessarily Victoria's potential to grow stronger, or to become important to the world. It was not necessarily Victoria's potential to become a leader. It was simply her potential to lead a good life. She should not lose it today.



Unbeknownst to what was going on outside, Camille and Gabriel were still inside, talking. Gabriel's name, and more importantly his character, resonated with Camille deeply, evoking emotions of the past. Camille stated that a strong Marine was on the way, and suggested that he would delay them, until Sephiroth and Orianna were done. Gabriel was not too worried about Sephiroth. He knew he could take care of himself in most any environment or situation. Instead, what worried Gabriel was a surprise attack from the Navy. If they struck this mansion while Sephiroth was not on guard, he could be put into a perilous situation. When Camille suggested that she would go stall the Navy, Gabriel closed his eyes, thinking for a moment. He had to decide. He had a role to play in the goal that he, Sephiroth and Cyla had. Gabriel had to make a choice what to do here.

As Camille was walking away, Gabriel turned around, speaking.

I will go with you.

Gabriel said, perhaps to Camille's surprise and shock. But, the look in Gabriel's eyes was determined, and sharp. He was a proud Lunarian warrior, and it was time to fight.



Deeper inside, or rather under the mansion, Orianna attacked Sephiroth. She did not believe in his strength, and thought he was bound to fail, just like the ones before him.

"You're mere words disgust me! Promises are made to be broken! I was hoping you'd say something else to convince me but all you did was enact the same foolishness each and every hero attempted!"
A hero?

Sephiroth said, seeing the whirling orbs spawn from Orianna's wrist. Sephiroth coupled the velocity blades into his left hand, holding them both there, while igniting his right fist. Flames whirled powerfully around Sephiroth's right fist, forearm, and all the way up to his right shoulder. As Orianna jumped toward him, Sephiroth did the same, pushing off of the ground and charging toward Orianna. They met in the middle, both throwing their fists forward. Their attacks collided, fist for fist, fire against ice. It was clear. Sephiroth was stronger. His fire was hotter than Orianna's ice was cold. And his Haki was present.



Orianna's DPR: 9. Small Country Level

Sephiroth's DPR: 120: 5. Town Level + S:+4 + COA: +2 (invisible Haki) = 11. Small Continent Level

Sephiroth held back. After his punch overpowered Orianna's, he did not push through with his punch. Instead, the fire around his fist disappeared, his palm opened up and grabbed Orianna by the neck. Then, using his unparalleled physical strength, Sephiroth drove Orianna down to the ground, before getting on top of her, aiming to submit her - if a grappling term was to be used. Sephiroth had no wish to submit her will, or character.

Now presumably on top of her, still holding her velocity blades in his left hand, Sephiroth spoke.

I'm no hero - nor do I intend to be.

I simply intend to carve out a cave for me and my people to live in peacefully. A place where no one can reach us.


Sephiroth said, his eyes glowing for a moment, rumbling with Conqueror's Haki. A first sign of it in Sephiroth, it was leaking out of him unknowingly to him.

No one will stop me.

Sephiroth said. It was time for Orianna to stand down.

Cyla vs Viktoria
The battle was nearing its end. Perhaps already been decided. When Cyla plunged the blunt edge of her scythe against Viktoria, the latter was sent ramming against the earth. Losing control of the climate above, the lightning streamed into the battlefield with such ferocity it would consume anything in its path. Viktoria's eyes, tired and contained, beamed as the flashes of light cast down upon her. It was the end for her. The long wait is over. But as the saviour from the North Blue once said, "Not Today."

She recalled the father who adopted them three before the battle 35 years ago sparked. He said to them as they all headed to a cave to hide. "You won't die. Not Here. And Not Today. Go and find shelter. I will retrieve you here in the cave. And if I didn't manage to come back. There's a boat about 2 kilometres northeast. There's a log pose in there. Find the Blacksmith."

Back to the battle, 2 seconds before she was struck by the storm. Crackling intensifies. As she closes her eyes, the word Blacksmith resonated in her memory. Something they were not able to search for back then due to the World Government interfering with the civil war on that certain island. 1 second remaining. She smiled, knowing that she'd finally meet her saviour. Though guilt is present, for an unfinished business is yet to be closed. Enter Cyla.

Strong crackling. Rolling and deafening echoed in the entirety of her. But much to her surprise, no contact was made with her. She opened her eyes, and she was shocked at who was upon her. Shielding herself with her own body. "!?!"

"W- w- why?!"
, she expressed. Her eyes trembling at the madness. She tried to grab the woman but the intensity of the lightning is on another level. She needed to use something else to pacify the situation. "You fool. I was prepared to die here. I already lost. And it's my will to rejoin my (adopted) father. You won't survive those lightning. All along, they are only limited to stinging at a moderate level. But without my control, it doubles that."

That said, Viktoria has no other choice. Her still functioning right arm beamed with energy. Glowing endlessly before raising it up against the sky, redirecting all the lightning to another region for a brief period. They have 30 secs. As the streams of bolts shot westward, Viktoria places her palm against Cyla's chest, seemingly pulling something from deep within. "I will drain all the shocks from your body. This will hurt a bit. But if left inside yours, it will explode like an energy grenade twice the size of what you tanked earlier. Get ready." Cyla would most likely scream in pain in the process but she has to thrive. After all, she's from the proud race of the Lunarians. Alas, as Viktoria fully drained the remnants of the shock, she raised her palm further eastward, more specifically the coastal area where the seamen would typically dock. Suddenly, a compressed beam of lightning shot to that location. Ear piercing, radiant, and mad. Within 5 seconds, the beam reached the dock and explode like an energy bomb, bombarding a 5-kilometre radius.

[BOOM!!!]

PORT of East Raijin

Vice-Admiral Stainless and his 200 men finally reached the coast and were about to dock. "Alright, boys! We're here.". However, even without his mantra active, the extraordinary flash of light coming their way is not something to ignore for it rivals the light of the day as it swiftly advanced to their location. He turned right away. "Huh?!"

Soldiers: "Huh?!"
Soldiers: "It's coming this way."
Soldiers: "Vice-Admiral!!!"

When they called for the Stainless, he was already gone from his prior post. When they look above, they saw the beam already almost within their grasp until an 8-foot tall handsome man appeared in the sky, a minuscule compared to the compressed lightning. With his long katana in tow, he swung from the right and diagonally upwards, unleashing a concentrated air slash a dozen times bigger that an ordinary one. Employed by Haki, its strength is magnified. "Man of Steel!"

[VRRRRRRRRRRRRMNNNNNNNG!]


And with that, the beam roared further skywards. Thanks to the heavens and it did not harm any of his men. They continued to dock while Stainless Skywalked back to the ground as his goons hailed in unison, shouting his name.



"That came from that location.", he said, pointing at the Mansion. "Let's hurry."

Inside the Mansion
Gabriel and Camilla seemed to have both decided to go out and deal with the incoming marines. A force led by a Vice-Admiral and 200 strong soldiers. The front might be easy to deal with but the Vice-Admiral? It is still a puzzle. And two more batches are coming.

"Alright, my Gabriel. Let's go.", Camille responded. She rushed outside the main door. And as she opens it up. The Mechas are there, watching as the battle between the two women has just been decided. "V- Viktoria?!", she said, looking at the two bodies. But before her body could even react, her younger sibling already harnessed the energy off Cyla's body and fired the secret technique off the Eastern Port.

"Nooo!"

"That's the Final Flash! She won't survive that!". In a matter of seconds, she raced with time and space to reach her location but it was already too late to stop her. There must have been a reason why she did it.

"Viktoria! Answer me.", she shook the body of her sister. Cyla is already partly unconscious. "She must have lost control of the weather. But why did you comrade?"

"No! Don't tell me she uses herself as a shield against the thunderbolts? If that's right, then we only have a little over 10 seconds left to hide before the sky fires it all back at full charge."


She then turned to Gabriel who she expects to have followed her way. "Gabriel, I will leave the marines to you. I need to treat both of them. Hurry! They already docked the port. One of them is as strong as you are. Maybe even stronger. Careful.", she said before giving the Lunarian heartthrob a kiss on his forehead, like what an older sister would to his younger cub.

"Assist me. We need to take them inside.", she ordered the Mechas.

Sephiroth vs Orianna
Orianna summoned orbs of lightning and blitzed Sephiroth. Without any form of calculation, she headed her way to a definite sleeping volcano. It's magma just being held. Compressed and composed. But it appears that her last words would do something to make the Lunarian get fired up. And she launched forward her fists with her ice orbs to freeze the Lunarian's source of firepower, the other would clash against them, his flame power igniting by the miles, overpowering the woman of cyborg enhancement.

There was no struggle on the Lunarian's part. At least in terms of physicality. But emotionally, there was enough. Sephiroth, after the clash grabbed her by the neck, almost choking her. But the grip was just enough for her to still breathe. Then she was pinned onto the ground. The other would speak his heart out.

I'm no hero - nor do I intend to be.

I simply intend to carve out a cave for me and my people to live in peacefully. A place where no one can reach us.

No one will stop me.
The next turn of events would shock the woman in her entirety as the man above her, staring her down to her very core, subconsciously unloosed his willpower. Ever daring and bold. Hateful, sorrowful, vengeful. But deep inside it, longing for his home. She felt it. She felt everything this man desires. And she might not admit it even on her deathbed. But a part of her desires what this man desires.

When her body was touched by his Haki of the Supreme King, her eyes were wet. Tears fell down her ears. Remembering their tragic past. Longing for someone to save them once more. It was at this moment, she knew, she could not beat this man's willpower. Not even better him with her tricks. For a long, he has already decided to take everything with his own hands. At last, she turned to Sephiroth's eyes. Her emotion flowing. "Fine. You can use this place as your stronghold. But."

There's a condition. Of course, there is. "Let us sail with you."

An offer he couldn't refuse.

Cyla jumped onto Victoria, covering her with her own body. She wrapped her large black wings around both of them, imbuing the wings with black Busou-shoku no Haki. The powerful lightning bore down on them, striking Cyla. Cyla winced, closing her eyes and gritting her teeth. The pain that was coursing through her body was hard to bear. Luckily, her great resistance to fire and heat allowed to to withstand and not be charred by the lightning. Cyla was about to give in and collapse, but the strong paralysis of the lightning kept her body in place - almost like she was petrified into position. Victoria opened her eyes, shocked by what had transpired.

"!?!"

"W- w- why?!"

"You fool. I was prepared to die here. I already lost. And it's my will to rejoin my (adopted) father. You won't survive those lightning. All along, they are only limited to stinging at a moderate level. But without my control, it doubles that."

"I will drain all the shocks from your body. This will hurt a bit. But if left inside yours, it will explode like an energy grenade twice the size of what you tanked earlier. Get ready."
Victoria said, in disbelief of what Cyla had done. But Victoria had to act quickly. Deflecting the lightning westward, Victoria proceeded to absorb the lightning out of Cyla's body, before firing it off into the distance. Both Victoria and Cyla ended up barely conscious, if not actually unconscious. The lightning above them was starting to rumble again, putting them in great danger. Fate itself would have Camille and Gabriel arrive, both shocked to find what had transpired. Camille knew exactly what was going on, and what to do - while Gabriel simply knew things were bad. Camille told Gabriel to hold the front line on his own, while she tended to Cyla and Victoria. Without Camille's knowledge and expertise, both of them were in grave danger.

Gabriel nodded and flapped his wings, leaving the area and going toward the shore. Camille and the Cyborgs took both Cyla and Victoria inside and away from danger for now.



Inside the mansion, down below, Sephiroth and Orianna had gotten involved in a fight. The latter did not believe the conviction of the former, but that all soon changed. As Sephiroth parried Orianna's attack and took her to the ground, immobilizing her for now, Sephiroth unwillingly unleashed Conqueror's Haki. He did not know what it was, nor did he even notice it himself. However, Oriannad had seen it before, and knew exactly what it meant. The man in front of her, or rather on top of her, was a special kind. He was one in a million, those fated to change the world and bear the future. Orianna's hands loosened, no longer clenched in a tight and tense grip. She gave in, speaking.

"Fine. You can use this place as your stronghold. But."

"Let us sail with you."
Sephiroth's eyes opened slightly wider. Orianna's words surprised him. But, Sephiroth was not a fool. He knew Orianna was strong, as well as good hearted. Inviting her aboard his ship was definitely the right thing to do. Sephiroth got up, giving Orianna a hand in getting up as well.

You have a deal. This mansion will not fall. And eventually, we will be free.

Sephiroth said, looking up - well aware that they were underground. It was time to follow through on his commitment.

Inside the Mansion
The 10 Mechas immediately aided Miss Camille's command, bringing inside the bodies of the still unconscious but weakened Cyla and Lady Viktoria. "Hurry!", Camille continued. And just as she shut the door, Gabriel took the sky to the port in the east, ready to face the upcoming threat. And after that, the sky grew even darker and more ominous, harnessing all the suppressed lightning storms above before throwing it back to the earth, ploughing the entirety of the battlefield earlier. Had they chosen to stay a little bit longer, they would have been pulverised by its tenacity. Crackling intensifies. Earth trembling and dismantling. Bags of dust scattered everywhere.

"That was close.", Camille remarked. "Take them to the chamber. We need to reboot Viktoria. Get her helm outside.", she ordered one of the Mechas. However, Viktoria interrupted her, grabbing her on her left arm.

"No elder sister. I don't need it anymore. From now on. I am who I am.", she said. Her eyes filled with peace and vindication.

"Oh! Viktoria. Mi señorita.", Camille said, embracing her. Then she reached for Cyla's hand. "Gracias!", The Lunarian must know what it was for.

Back to the Underground
A sudden shift of the tides formed during Orianna's face-off with Sephiroth. Might it have been caused by the Lunarian's showcase of Color of the Supreme King or his words of madness was anyone's guess. But for now, the would-be pirate would find an ally of the three capable Cyborgs who all could fill their absence in the brain category. Of course, this only pertains to Science and not due to plain tribal ignorance.

As the battle concluded, promised that her mansion would be free from harm. Another promise. "Don't give us too many promises. We are still mourning after 35 years. We did not even see his body. We still hope but are about to lose it."

"What are you looking at above? You're not planning on breaking through it, are you?"


"Country boy. We are not ancient. There's a button right there. It shall take us back to the surface."

Don't move., she said before stepping beside Sephiroth, wrapping her arms around him as they both stand inside a half-meter squared brick. Almost the same block of concrete that Sephiroth was stepping onto when the first entered the mansion. Orianna then plunge one of her flying bullets against the wall, hitting exactly the button situated above the range barrels behind them. After that, the invisible wall suddenly reappeared, serving as their elevator back above.

Now Orianna is staring at Sephiroth. Only about 2 centimetres apart. Only, she is facing the Lunarian's chest due to the height difference. But she's looking.

East Raijin Port
"Is anybody OK?"
, Stainless ask his troops. All 200 of them shouted in chorus. Brave and proud. "Sir, Yes, Sir!"

"I wonder. Did they sense our arrival already and attack us before even docking?", he uttered.

Then he thought to himself. If that's the case. I cannot afford to let my man go there. Considering the strength of that attack. How many of them can even fire that compressed energy? However, I never knew that Lunarians are able to harness bluish energy similar to lightning. What is happening here?

He placed his right index and middle fingers against his handlebar moustache, caressing it downwards as he processed his thoughts. The breeze gently blew against the raincoat they purchased from the Governor of the Port but little by little, his yellow and black striped suit seems to show. The orange tie paired with it is disgusting to anyone's eye. Such bad taste in fashion. But as a man of a strong sense of justice, his white trench coat beneath the raincoat would justify it all.

He walked, sensing the field, still massaging his moustache. "If the reinforcements came late, I would have to deal with three strong criminals. I hate this. Admiral Akainu should have acted accordingly. Sending three fleets to different islands without proper intel is poor judgment. And besides, he should have not broken the truce Admiral Fujitora offered. Those Celestial Dragons are abusive in the first place. But I am a Marine Vice-Admiral."

The officer continued to murmur as he scans the situation. But, whether he believes in moral justice or absolute justice is anyone's guess. Only battle would tell. And to learn about it is nigh.

Camille managed to get to Victoria and Cyla in time, bringing them into the mansion and away from the hazardous, stormy weather. There, Camille quickly got to work, intent on saving both of the women. Victoria managed to garner enough strength to speak, stating that she was who she was, and that she had changed her mind about her own fate. Hearing those words, Camille, the older sister, burst out with emotion, grabbing Cyla's hand and thanking her for what she had done. Cyla exhaled a sigh of relief, before fading away into a deep sleep. She was exhausted.

Down below in the depths of the mansion, Sephiroth's willpower had gotten through to Orianna, and she decided to place some, even if little, faith into Sephiroth's conviction. Sephiroth didn't know it, but this was likely Orianna's last time believing into the future. If Sephiroth failed, there was a good chance Orianna could give up on a better life altogether. Sephiroth was staring up toward the sky. Orianna took notice, speaking up before Sephiroth did something crazy, like bringing the whole place down to get back out. She shot a bullet, and an elevator took the both of them up. As they were inside the invisible elevator, close to one another, Orianna stared at Sephiroth's chest, while Sephiroth stared upward obliviously. With a sharp look in his eyes, Sephiroth thought to himself, not speaking outloud.

They're coming for me... I can feel it. It all comes down to this stand.

Sephiroth thought to himself.



In the meantime, Gabriel had taken off, going toward the shores of Raijin Island. He knew he had to intercept the Navy there, while Sephiroth was still nowhere to be found. As Gabriel was flying, he saw the shores in the distance, and stationed there was at least one Navy ship, coming into view. Gabriel clenched his fists and grit his teeth, determined.

It's time... Sephiroth. We will fight here.

The Mansion
Camille and her Mechas would attend to the wounded bodies of her sister and Cyla inside their laboratory. Viktoria has to be rebooted in order for her mechanical prosthetic arms to function again. Cyla on the other hand has suffered from full paralysis and it would take some time for her to recover. Meanwhile, Sephiroth and Orianna finally resurfaced and she was not even surprised that no battle occurred between Gabriel and Camille due to the hallway being left unscathed. "Hmm. As expected of her. She wouldn't fight. But where are they?"

One of the Mechas guarding the door responded, "They are treating Miss Viktoria and Miss Cyla, Miss Orianna."

"I see. Looks like our baby sister finally gets back to her sanity."


The Mecha turned to Sephiroth, "Your companion headed to the East Port. He's about to fight an entire fleet of marines."

"An entire fleet? Looks like you got another crazy bastard in your team, Sephiroth."
, Orianna remarked. Then she asked the Mecha, "How long?"

"About 5 minutes ago."
, the Mecha answered.

Orianna turned to Sephiroth and asked, worried, "How fast does he fly? We may still catch him up. Let's hurry."

East Raijin Port

Vice-Admiral Stainless strode the coast and quickly, his 200 men began following. "No you lot stay here!"

"But Sir, you can't go there alone."

"You're only getting in the way."
But deep inside, he didn't want his men to suffer. He knows how capable these Lunarians are. After all, they managed to take down two formidable Vice-Admirals. "I'll go alone."

With that said, Stainless bent his knees a little bit before kicking the ground multiple times. After that, he vanished into the air, leaving only dirt in his wake. The fodders were all amazed at what they see. "Such speed!"

Vice-Admiral is truly something., one of the team leaders said. "But you heard him, let's stay here and wait for the other two fleets."

Moments later, the Vice-Admiral put a full stop at his catapult, having alerted by an approaching force.

[WHOOSH!]

He stood. Firm and comely. He's not touching his facial hair, only the pommel of his katana.

[LIGHTNIN`G CRACKLES]

The sparks of the heavens regained their strength, streaming shits into the earth once more. Stainless is wearing a suit capable of withstanding the shock. But it is unknown whether Gabriel took Camille's offer to get some equipment before heading into the warzone. The lightning descended upon him and Gabriel but Stainless did not even flinch. When it went out, he would be seen standing behind Gabriel, holding the latter's right shoulder. "Come with me, kid. I am not a fan of hurting boys."

Sephiroth and Orianna made it up to the main part of the mansion, seeing what had happened in their absence. Both Victoria and Cyla were down, but it looked like they were not in grave danger. Gabriel, however, had gone off to the frontline, where he would take on the Navy armada all by himself - buying time. Orianna commented on Gabriel's actions, saying that it looked like there was another crazy bastard on Sephiroth's team. Sephiroth, however, didn't comment, finding Gabriel's actions to be completely normal. After all, what was the point of waiting around for the Navy to come and get them? It was better to strike first.

Gabriel had left a few minutes ago, so Sephiroth and Orianna had to act now, if they wished to catch up.

If I could fly I could catch up... but by foot, it'll take a bit longer.

Sephiroth said. Presuming, but not deciding, that Sephiroth was given a coat to deal with the thunderous environment of this island, he and Orianna would get going, leaving the mansion hastily by foot.



By this time, Gabriel had almost reached the shoreline, seeing the Navy in the distance. Vice Admiral Stainless, who had shot through the air using Geppou, came into view, stopping his catapult-esque movement and coming to a halt. Gabriel did the same, flapping his wings to land on the ground. The two men confronted one another, the former speaking, telling the Lunarian to come along without putting up a fight.

You Marines always say that don't you...

Does anyone ever just come along?


Gabriel asked sarcastically, the lightning and thunder crackling up above, forming a cluster. Some lightning descended toward Gabriel, but he managed to jump out of the way.

Tsch...

Gabriel was able to avoid it for now, but during a fight, he was unlikely to be able to do so. He was at a disadvantage.

I see...

Gabriel said, seeing the coat protect the Vice Admiral, who stood behind Gabriel.

East Raijin Port: Gabriel Meets Vice-Admiral Stainless
The Vice-Admiral and the Lunarian finally meet. Lightning storming everywhere. A fierce face-off.

[THUNDER ROLLING!!!]

Stainless asked the brave warrior to surrender amidst the raging thunders, standing behind him. "I will only offer you this once. Please cooperate and tell me where your comrades are."

THUNDER INTENSIFIES, before descending again at the two men. Gabriel would most likely evade it, prompting the marine officer to assume he's retaliating. With a scowl on his face, Stainless unsheathe his katana, pointing it at Gabriel who would most likely be facing him right now. "It still surprises me how you guys managed to escape CP2, head straight to Sabaody, abducted a Celestial Dragon, and fought three admirals without dying."

Stainless swung his sword backwards, leaving a deep cut to the mantle of the earth. "You're not the type of guy who'd just surrender easily, are you? If that's the case, I will be a little bit more aggressive here.", he continued before putting his left leg at the rear, bending his knee a little as if he's attempting to dash forth. He holds the hilt of the sword using his left hand across the side of his face, but the sharp edge of the sword is facing up. He's crouching a bit. The black coat he's wearing to resist the storm flutters with the wind towards the east.


Meanwhile, Orianna and Sephiroth discussed as they head to the port, the former asked the other while occasionally being hit by the lightning coming from every direction. "What happened to your other wing?"

Another group of lightning descended and this time it would strike Sephiroth. "Watch out!", Orianna shouted, pushing him using her left hand on the Lunarian's right hip. The lightning hit her arm but she wouldn't feel it. Not even a tickle. Supposing Sephiroth is fine, Orianna would say something. "Hey. Do you sense it?"

As she asked this, there are hundreds of people lurking behind the rock formations around their trail. All wearing the same suit the Vice-Admiral has. With them, a very formidable presence. If Sephiroth is alert, he would have felt it, too.

"That's the one from the news?", one of them said, grinning.

"Affirmative. He's worth 700 million.", the other silhouette said.

"He's with Orianna. What is going on here? She's supposed to be an─", the man with eyeglasses wondered.

"Lower your voice. She must have her reasons why she's accompanying him. Tell the governor."

"I will only offer you this once. Please cooperate and tell me where your comrades are."
Vice Admiral Stainless said, standing behind Gabriel. Lightning rain down all around them, showing the full force of this dangerous island. Stainless seemed to possess a coat that allowed him immunity from the lightning - something that Gabriel didn't have. He knew he was at a disadvantage, and a severe one at that. A cluster of lightning accumulated above the two and struck down in the form of a lightning bolt. Gabriel jumped forward and transitioned into a roll, before standing back up and turning around, facing Stainless. The Vice Admiral had never moved from his spot, finding no danger in the lightning.

"It still surprises me how you guys managed to escape CP2, head straight to Sabaody, abducted a Celestial Dragon, and fought three admirals without dying."
A man is capable of a lot when backed into a corner. He who leads us appears to be a dragon.

Gabriel said of Sephiroth, speaking of him in great regard, despite their short time together. Stainless took Gabriel's words as a sign that Gabriel would not surrender. He was not wrong. Entering a fighting stance with his sword, Stainless was ready.

"You're not the type of guy who'd just surrender easily, are you? If that's the case, I will be a little bit more aggressive here."
Gabriel clenched his fists and slammed them together, creating a spark of fire. His fists ignited with powerful Lunarian flames - a glimmer of determination in his eyes.

Come on then... you don't expect me to be the one on the offensive, when I'm just stalling for time, do you?





While Gabriel was facing off against Vice Admiral Stainless, Sephiroth and Orianna were on their way to come join him. Running through the dangerous lands of the Raijin Island, the two were making good progress. Orianna, running just slightly behind Sephiroth, looked at his back, wondering what had happened to one of his wings.

It was burned off...

Sephiroth said, not giving much context to what had happened. Considering his Lunarian nature and his ability to Ignite with Lunarian Fire, this would likely surprise and baffle Orianna. How could a Lunarian's wing be burned off? Before she could ponder on it any further, a lightning bolt descended toward Sephiroth. Orianna pushed him out of the way. The lightning bolt struck her instead, but she remained completely unharmed. Sephiroth skid to a stop, before raising back up. Before he could thank her, Orianna was already pointing out the next threat.

"Hey. Do you sense it?"
Yes. They're hiding behind the rock formations. We're surrounded.

Sephiroth said, looking around.

Do you know who they are? If it's an enemy... we should deal with them now, before the Navy arrives.

Stainless vs Gabriel
The battle is on. Vice-Admiral Stainless tried his best to convince the Lunarian muscle to surrender without retaliation but the latter was convinced that they are trailing the right path. He whom he called the Dragon.
Gabriel said:

"You're not talking about a Dragon. What you're telling me is the characteristic of a rat. How many times have I seen people like you. Young and stubborn only to wail in fear and pardon the moment they saw the light of death?"

The vice-admiral maintained his stance but inched a little bit forward. Slowly he grips the hilt even tighter. He knew brawl is upcoming.
Gabriel said:
Come on then... you don't expect me to be the one on the offensive, when I'm just stalling for time, do you?
"Kid, I can only warn you once."

After saying that, the marine vanished in sight using the principles of Rokushiki. He then appeared on the left side of his opponent, hoping to catch him off guard. In a swift transition, he swung his katana upwards while spinning as he launched himself up. It is an attack employing both the discipline of his brute strength and Rokushiki. The moment he swung the sword, it is also capable of unleashing an air slash to the front and to his northeast. And regardless if the attack was successful or not, the moment he leapt up, he would slam his katana down almost simultaneously to the target. Both attacks employed invisible Haki.

"Bon Jovi!"

"AC/DC!"

Bon Jovi: The user spins and strikes upwards, knocking the opponent to the ground and inflicting damage. The attack is similar to Shoryuken of Ken/Ryu. But instead of fire, it unleashes an air slash following the swing.
- DPR C, requires 31 Strength, 31 MA Mastery

  • 101-119: 4. City Block Level
AC/DC: A downward pound to the opponent.

Meanwhile, both Sephiroth and Orianna were travelling towards Gabriel's location but the two of them sensed something hiding behind the rock formations. Orianna stopped for a while trying to sense further. Sephiroth suggested fighting them before the Navy arrives. The girl has reservations to fight the residents of this island for they work together in order to survive the potential invaders but she's sworn his oath to Sephiroth already. This is a tough choice. "We can't just fight without knowing why they're trailing us."

"Were you deployed by the governor!?"
, Orianna asked, her voice booming beneath the storm. "Listen, if things go unplanned, leave me here and follow your comrade."

Sephiroth suggested to fight off the stalkers before the Navy arrived, so that they would not have to fight two enemies at once. But perhaps these stalkers were not enemies to begin with? They seemed to be residents of this island, and generally, they were on good terms. Orianna was correct. Jumping to conclusions here could lead to needless fighting and bloodshed. Sephiroth loosened up, having tensed up moments ago in anticipation of a fight. Orianna called out to the locals, asking if the governor had sent them. She told Sephiroth to go ahead in case things went awry, and to let Orianna deal with them. However, for now, Sephiroth waited. Were the locals friend or foe? Sephiroth presented no threat to them, and there was no bloodlust coming from him.



Elsewhere, closer to the shores though a distance inland, Gabriel had confronted Vice Admiral Stainless. The latter intent on capturing him and the group, Gabriel got ready to defend.

"You're not talking about a Dragon. What you're telling me is the characteristic of a rat. How many times have I seen people like you. Young and stubborn only to wail in fear and pardon the moment they saw the light of death?"
A rat huh...

Navy soldier, remember those words. But if you don't, I will remind you soon.


Gabriel said, though what exactly he meant with those words was anyone's guess. Stainless attacked, disappearing from his location using Soru. He appeared on Gabriel's left, unleashing an upward swing. Gabriel turned into the swing, reaching forward with his left hand. Black Busou-shoku no Haki clad the hand. The blade of the sword collided with the palm of Gabriel's left hand. He grabbed it, essentially blocking Stainless' attack with his bare hand.

Stainless' DPR: 101-119: 4. City Block Level

Gabriel's Durability: 81-100: 5. Town Level + COA: +2 = 120: 7. Mountain Level

DPR 2 or more below durability: Not very effective

Now holding onto Stainless' sword, Gabriel swung forward with his right hand, unleashing a powerful punch toward Stainless' gut.

Ignition Fist...!



Fire erupted from Gabriel's fist, aiming to plow through Stainless' body. Invisible Busou-shoku no Haki was unleashed with the punch, aiming to increase its power. Gabriel's statement punch.

Don't underestimate a Lunarian...!



DPR: 81-100: 3. Large Building Level + B:+2 + COA: +1 = 6. City Level

Stainless vs Gabriel
Vice-Admiral Stainless catapulted Gabriel and swung his blade while spinning. The latter watched the attack go up before blocking it with his bare hands, stopping the combination dead on its trail. "?!!"

The Marine was shocked with what he saw and turned his gaze upon the other ─ now cladding his fist with both flame and Haki. Fast!, he thought. But I am faster than that!

In a rapid sequence, Stainless further enhanced his reaction speed by using an unknown technique on Gabriel, rendering his enemy's attack easier to read. In conjunction with this, he also stomped the ground using his right foot and simultaneously unleashed a couple of air blades towards Gabriel's foot, aiming to trip his feet. But this stomp is just a preparation for his true motive. Using the momentum of his fight foot stomp, he pivots while pulling his sword inward, hoping to make Gabriel totally lose his balance. Then his left foot, already clad with invisible Haki is launched like a sturdy lumber released from the rope, targeting not the flaming fist of the Lunarian but the forearm supporting it, hoping he'd wax the arm upwards and out of its track. It's simply a lightning-fast spinning roundhouse kick. It must be noted that the three combinations were performed almost simultaneously.

"Tekkai Kenpo Roundhouse Kick!"

Requirements: 11 Mastery, 21 Reaction Speed.
The user relaxes their body, increasing their reaction speed by Mastery/5. Can not attack.

Rankyaku "Trip"

DPS: B
A kick to the opponent's arm with Tekkai in use to deflect an incoming melee attack or dislodge the weapon it wields.

DPR: 120: 5. Town Level

A Meeting with the Tribesmen
Sephiroth presented himself. Orianna warned him to move the moment things went unplanned. Suddenly, three figures finally emerged from the shadows, all cloaked. The first one would toss the same cloak towards the Lunarian. He's the youngest of the three and he's got blonde hair. He should know what this is for. After that, the other two would begin to speak.

"My name is Orochimaru. We are a group of scientists. The one who gave you a cloak is Deidara and this one here is Kabuto, my protege."


"I can't believe my own eyes the first time I saw them entering the island. I always that their race was already extinguished a long time ago. But it looks like, the government took them captive.", Kabuto butted in.


"You do realise how both expendable and valuable you lot are in the landscape of science and technology, no?", Orochimaru took the centre stage again. His voice is ominous, villainous, and slightly resonates with that of a snake. "Hisssssss"

"Master Orochimaru, none of these so-called Lunarians is art. Art is all about. Explosion!"
, Deidara remarked. "I wouldn't mind a piece of his feathers and see how beautiful its ashes would be. You wouldn't mind as well right Orianna? Weren't you supposed to deliver him to Marines?"

What is Deidara talking about? How would Sephiroth respond to all of this?
