How could they save Mutsuki now that he had fused with Lilith Would they have fight against Micha Schwarze and Ren who had sided with that fusion And even if it all worked flawlessly was there any way to restore the humans who had melted away Let’s head to FeTUS HQ
The first to speak up was Machina
Is there something there
I do not know but Miss A told us to return to the sanctuary There may be something there
That’s a pretty flimsy hope sighed Lucia
They had too little in the way of guidance so Ange was unsure if it was even worth going with Machina
Drip
But then she felt some wetness on her cheek
It was waterseawater
Thinking it was rain she looked up
She saw an enormous structure floating in the night sky as if placing a lid over the city
It was so big that Ange and Lucia could not tell what it was Machina was more familiar with artificial objects so she finally realized it was a ship But she could only tell it was the bottom of a super-massive cruise ship However all three of them could tell where that ship was headed
It was moving toward the mountain that overlooked the city
Which meant it was headed toward Megutono Academy that stood at the peak
Hop on
With a powerful sound of scraping metal three cars parked at nearby houses changed form
The engines alone were extracted and they took grasshopper-like shapes The driver’s seats moved up to the heads with four tires surrounding each one
Machina hopped onto the seat for one and Ange and Lucia followed suit after a moment of hesitation
Then the total of 12 tires began rotating at high speed
The grasshopper engines surrounded by the tires were ejected like coil shooters They launched straight toward the mountain Gravity pulled them down partway through but the grasshopper portion detonated the gasoline in the instant of landing to instantly reaccelerate them They arrived at Megutono Academy on the peak faster than the big but slow-moving ship
The three of them landed below the familiar clocktower
At the same time they saw two people jump down on top of the clock tower
Miss E Jiyuuni Ange and Satowa We are here to meet you
Fujita loves you too and wants you by his side So come with us
It was Ren and Schwarze That confirmed who was on that ship
Get in
There was no time to chat Machina made a split-second decision and opened the tower door
As soon as the three of them rushed in the floor within was split in two The inside of the tower was designed to act as an elevator to the lower level so slicing the floor naturally created a pit straight down While the three fell they could see Schwarze and Ren pursuing them
I was hit by a barrage of defenses last time I was here
And I will use those to delay themIf I can
FeTUS HQ’s alarms blared at the presence of three intruders Shutters covered up the pit and an electric current rushed in to attack
Machina reached out a hand and the Witch’s command had the shutters pause just long enough for the three of them to pass through and then shut tight The anti-angel electric current was reprogrammed to wait until those three had passed and then be emitted upwards It’s no use Miss E
The closed shutters were carved through in mere seconds and the two new intruders passed through The waves of electric current were shredded with claws and a sword
FeTUS Witches Misses B and C did not waste the time to unlock the path ahead so they destroyed the defenses instead
Even while forcibly breaking their way through they moved faster than the three who were simply falling
What do we do now
I want time to search for whatever Miss A was talking about once we arrive in the sanctuary You will have to stop them here Jiyuuni
Don’t blame me if I kill them
Ange raised Prominence toward those charging in at her
The fire burning within her sword turned to plasma and erupted out
It grew to a beam large enough to fill the entire elevator shaft and was launched upwards It took less than a second for it to envelop the two pursuers
The inside of that was hotter than the center of the sun Not even FeTUS had heat-reduction devices capable of enduring that so the only defense was to transport the dimension itself like Machina did But they would have to first stop their fall to create a staring point for that transport Or they should have
Eh Wait
Lance-wielding Ren charged straight down the center of the beam
Ange panicked when her collar was grabbed Machina was surprised and distracted too but
We are here because Adam has given us life Do not defy him for that is defying the very laws of nature
Schwarze also caught up and grabbed Machina’s hand
Machina tried to send out golden thread to bind her but the thread unraveled and vanished like dust as soon as if touched Black Cat’s skin
The Anti-Code That was fast
This is the law of nature Defying us is defying your very nature as a living being
All of FeTUS’s tools were programmed machines There was an Anti-Code that would neutralize all of them and all of the Witches could use it
