"Exactly the same. That's what troubles me." Irvine said. "Let's get going." He unsealed his wings, deciding to move for the city.

~~~~~

"... Ugh... Taini... Why did you do that?" Derrick asked, groaning.

"Exactly what I told her. Besides, I do know one thing. She isn't terribly strong. I could beat her into next Tuesday if she does something funny."

~~~~~

Ai sighed, shrugging before taking off, following right behind Irvine.

"But what if she does something that we can't do anything about?" Derrick pointed out. "Or worse... What if your nose is wrong? I'm not saying it is, but still..." He sighed.

~~~~~

So, they arrived in Neuestadt, and Irvine began searching the rubble until he found the body of a defeated female soldier. She must have been dead for a day or so, as rigor mortis had claimed her limbs. "... I guess we remove the mask..." Irvine mumbled.

"...You're sounding like my brother." Taini sighed. "Always so damned suspicious of anything that moves. IF she becomes a baddy, she'll lose. Simple as that."

~~~~

"I... y-y..." Ai wanted to really say, "You do it." But instead she reached down and pulled off the mask...

Causing her to scream and leap back. "W-WHAT THE HELL!!!?"

"That's... Taini's face..." Irvine said, rattled to the core by this. "But how the hell is that possible?" He asked, looking around and seeing more of the corpses. "... We may need to remove more masks..." He muttered.

~~~~~

"I hope you're right... But now all we have that we can do... Is wait, isn't it?" Derrick asked with a weary sigh.

"Y-you're kidding, RIGHT? Th-th..." Ai couldn't finish her sentence, realizing she was about to throw up. "Ugh... we should." Ai then walked over to another female soldier and removing the mask, this time actually causing Ai to vomit. "W-what is this...? What's going on here...?" She breathed after she backed away. "The female soldiers look like your sister... so what about the male ones...?"

~~~~~

Taini shook her head. "We have to snatch the final artifact from my parents. I know Raine has all of them but one now." She pointed out to the man. "We need to take risks if we are to take initiative. We spoke about this before, didn't we? That was practically our credo when we began the agency!"

"That's true... But still... She will hunt us if we are not careful... I'd rather rout the situation here and now, wouldn't you?" Derrick asked her.

~~~~~

"... I can only imagine..." Irvine said, removing the mask of a male trooper. "... Tch..." He groaned, sure enough seeing his own face under the mask. "Oh what fresh hell is this now?" He asked.

"I suppose. But what should we do in the meantime? We can't just really sit down and sip lemonade near a beach side..." Taini blinked before smelling something.

That.

Was.

Horrendously.

Appalling.

As the smell went through her nostrils, she vomited over the side of the rheiard. "Gah!" She cried out.

~~~~~

"It's like... from a horror movie. He has your face Irvy..." Ai removed a couple more masks. "They are all of the both of you... what sick crap is this???"

"... We need to go... I have a feeling I... I don't know... I feel as if I may know when this started, but at the same time, I..." Irvine shook his head. "I just don't know, I really don't..."

~~~~~

"Taini!" Derrick exclaimed, seeing her. "Are you alright?" He asked. "What's going on?"

"Two words. Smell. Baby." Taini suddenly heaved over the rheiard again. "Or... have you forgotten...? Urp..." I remember when I didn't fall so low as to let smells kill me... or babies! WHY IS THIS THE SECOND TIME I'M DOING THIS!?

~~~~~

"Irvy... not that long... the woman who attacked you that sounded like Taini... do you think...?" Ai asked as she raised her brows. "Do you think they are all connected? The army you were fighting... are they just made up of you and Taini? But they look younger..."

"But only about two years ago... Like when I was attacked... She told me about someone trying to kidnap her at a doctor... I think this may all be connected... Ugh... But why us? It was before Taini's true power was revealed... Is it because I was the champion back then?" He asked.

~~~~~

"... Great..." Derrick said. "Well... Let's go get you to some place where there's some milder scents, huh?"

"It could have been... it could be very well be because you two are the strongest on the planet. Save your mother. Donno why your mother is in the ranks with these people then." Ai pointed out. "So what is our next course of action? Notify Mizuho? Notify your parents? Notify Taini and Derrick? Eat?"

~~~~~

"Uh huh..." Taini groaned as she glanced upward, reaching a hand to the sun. For a moment, she thought it was black.

"Strange... we should either way go to my parents..." She mentioned.

"... But the thing is, I don't really get why we would have been targeted... At the time that Taini was almost abducted... We didn't know that we were anything special." Irvine explained, crossing his arms. "She was simply targeted by random chance... I think... I suppose the odds could have been as good as any that anyone would have been targeted that way... But I was intentionally targeted... As the Colosseum Champion... If someone else had won, then they would have been targeted, and I would have just been left alone..." He sighed, unsealing his wings.

"I think we need to find my sister." He continued, flapping toward his sister's home, still deep in thought. 'An army full of people who look just like us... Of replicas of us... They have the potential to do a lot of damage to the world... Possibly to destroy it... Ugh...' He thought. "Ai, listen... If the worst comes to worst... I don't want you fighting any of those soldiers... I want you to run... Even if they invade our home... Even if they harm your family... Or me... I don't want you to try and fight them... Because... I don't want to see the kind of harm I can cause you... I don't want to see it come to pass... Do you understand?" He asked.

~~~~~

"What's strange?" Derrick asked, having been completely oblivious to her vision, if it was that. "You mean the whole smells thing, or something else?" He asked. "But... I do agree with you... We should see your parents... Tell them about what happened... With the artifact." He nodded to himself as he motored toward Altamira. "It is a little disconcerting though." He spoke, looking straight ahead. "What that woman is doing... Something about her just makes me uneasy... Call it a gut feeling." He said, making a slight bank so they were flying over the sunset lit ocean. "It's beautiful out here, isn't it? This is... Something worth protecting."

Taini glanced downward at the ocean, half-heartedly agreeing with Derrick on the inside. "Even if it is beautiful... it is still dying." She responded as she turned her head back to the sky. Should I tell him? Maybe it was just me. Deciding on telling him, she gripped her own knees tightly. "I saw the sun blacken for a second. I don't know if it was just me, but I did see it. I am only guessing, if it is what I saw, that it just is another sign of this planet dying. I don't want to be reminded about the little time we do have." Derrick, it's not why I want to go see my parents. She admitted in the back of her mind, wondering how any of them would take this.

~~~~~

Ai raised her brows, a little taken aback by the request. "Irvine, please tell me you are joking." Staring at his face for a moment, it didn't take her very long to realize that no, he wasn't joking.

"You can't possibly tell me to just... No! What if this entire world was overrun by them!? What if you're... not there? Or your mother... or Taini? Are you insane!? I don't understand! I refuse to understand! I'm not going to end up a selfish little twit for your sake, Irvine. I love my family, and I love yours... and I love you. But, really? You're asking me something so foolish! I'm not going to live underground if you all are killed by them! What is the point of me possibly being the only person alive then, huh?" She cried as she followed after him, nearing the home.

"If I were to be killed, Ai..." Irvine said, closing his eyes. "If my sister were to fall... Both of us, or either of us... We would need you alive. You're the only one who would be able to bring them back then... That's why I need you to run if you encounter them... I simply don't want to risk losing everything... The world needs all of our strength right now... And it's for that reason that we can't all risk facing that army." He explained.

There were several minutes of silence as he flew, but afterward, he spoke once more. "I'll be trying to avoid the battles too, but I'm just not sure how well it will work."

~~~~~

"... The sun going black..." Derrick said, closing his eyes for half a second, and immediately hitting a duck. They barely heard the thump, but he soon opened his eyes back up. "That actually sounds familiar... As if I read about it somewhere..." He said. "But... Maybe it's just my imagination..." 'Taini... Are you hiding something from me again?' He thought.

Ai shook her head as she landed at the home. "I... can't Irvine. I don't want fate or whatever on my shoulders. So I'm just going to assume you two will be okay." She replied before knocking. "Hey!" She cried, knocking again. Hearing nothing, she then placed her hand onto the door and twisted it, noticing that it was unlocked. Glancing around, she found the home devoid of anything. "Taini? Derrick? ...Maybe we should have texted them first..." She turned to Irvine with a frown. What a waste of time...

~~~~~

Taini was busy staring at the falling dead duck to respond to Derrick. That is, until it was out of the sky. "Maybe we should read up on it, if it exists." She pointed out as they landed the rheiard in Altamira, right before the Lazareno Company. "Why did they even decide to live here for awhile again?" She asked herself before walking into the building. Climbing up the stairs to the office, she knocked on the door while fidgeting with one of her pockets. "Mom? Dad? It's me, Taini!"

Inside was what looked to be a five year old boy. "Oh hello, Taini." He said. "Can I help you with something today?" He asked, staring at a piece of paper with an illegible doodle on it. "... I drawed with crayons!" He said, holding up the picture of the... Whatever the fuck it was.

Derrick blinked. "Uh... Hey... Taini... Who is this kid and what is he doing in your dad's office?" He asked, only to have a play doh ball smack him in the face.

"Stupid Derrick," The five year old said. "Here, present for Taini!" He said, smiling and holding up the drawing of whatever the fuck it was.

~~~~~

"I guess for now we just wait." Irvine said, pulling out his phone and shooting Taini a text. 'We're at your house. Get here ASAP.'

"...Dad...?" Taini widened her eyes as she took the drawing. "Um..." Don't say it's horrible. Don't say it's horrible. You're going to be a mother sometime soon, after all. Are you going to tell your own kid that his or her's drawing is horrendous? ...Yes. -.-

"Thank you!" She smiled, knowing that would be the only nice thing she could say.

Just then Serenade appeared, appearing just as old as Kala. "Hi!" She waved in a high pitched squeak. "Uh, hi..." Taini replied. "What did you guys do?" Just then her phone buzzed. Quickly she flipped it open and read. "I-I gotta get going. Can you keep these two company and ask them why they are like that Derrick?" Taini asked her husband.

"I... Uh... Sure?" Derrick asked, blinking as his wife left. "So... Uh... WHat'd you two do?" He asked.

"Can I have some gum?" Chibi John asked.

"Uh... Sure?" Derrick asked, giving John some bubble gum.

John chewed it quietly, then put on some Kamina sunglasses. "I'm here to whup butt and chew bubble gum..."

"I really don't like where this is headed..." Derrick thought aloud.

"And I'm gonna put bubble gum in stupid Derrick's hair!" John said, tackling the man and putting bubble gum in his hair like an obnoxious little kid.

~~~~~

"Right, now we wait, I suppose." Irvine said.

Serenade merely giggled as she pointed and laughed at the man. "Old fart can't do anything!" She then raised her small palms and blasted Derrick with mini mana balls of blastiness. "Hehehehe!! This is fun!!" She cried out. "Let's turn him into a duckie JJ! LET'S TURN HIM INTO A DUCKIE!!!"

~~~~~

Ai nodded and leaned against the wall of the house, waiting patiently until Taini did show up about thirty minutes later. Huffing slightly, she looked to both of them. "Wh-what's up?" She gasped.

"Um... Derrick isn't here (for once)?" Ai asked.

"N-no, I made him watch Mom and Dad..."

"?"

"They are practically toddlers. Don't ask."
