[Third person POV]

On the distance far! Away from the city...

A squadron of helicopters is moving...

Patapatapatapatapatapata!....

Inside one of the helicopters, there was a man with a general suit looking out of the window...

He looked at the pilot as the helicopter moved...

"How long till we get there?"(General)

"U-um... 1 more hour s-sir..."(pilot)

"Bullshit! Can't this thing go any faster!"(general)

"W-Were trying sir!"(pilot)

The general sigh and looked out the window...

It's been 3 hours since the last they sent a pickup chopper...

The higher up keeps rejecting the request for more even know the commander was begging them to do it...

"Sigh*...."(general)

He was tasked for this mission by the commander himself to secure and rescue a soldier and a kid?...

He didn't know anything about them...

But looking at the commander's eyes he knows he is being serious about this...

So a task force was sent out without the higher up knowing...

"Um... Sir..."(pilot)

"Yes, pilot?"(general)

"We are picking up a massive amount of energy from city S sir..."(pilot)

"What do you mean?"(general)

He got off his seat and move to where the pilot is...

Suddenly he saw something flashing in the distance...

"Wha-"(general)

booooooooooooOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

Puing!puing!puing!puing!

a giant shock wave hit the whole helicopter squadron...

Shaking everything inside...

Alarms rang inside the helicopter as they braced themselves inside as the shaking slowly stopped and all of them looked in the distance...

"T-thas...."(pilot)

All of them open their eyes wide open as they looked at what happened in the distance where the city they are going is...

What they saw was a giant mushroom shape cloud...

The general clenched his fist as he looked at it...

"We're retreating..."(general)

"Huh!? But sir-"(pilot)

"We're retreating! That's an order pilot! Send the others the message... There's no way anyone can survive that..."(General)

As he still looked at the distance he can only pray that the commander didn't throw a tantrum because of this...

The whole squadron then turned back...

Away from where they were headed...

And on another side far away from them...

There's a giant vehicle on the ground facing where the giant mushrooms cloud is...

Inside there were a lot of panics...

"W-what!?"(???)

"N-NO WAY!? Commander O died!?"(???)

A lot of scientists were looking out the window at the giant mushrooms cloud...

There there's also a giant with a dark Cloak covering his body...

"..."(???)

Slowly a guy in a military outfit moved towards him...

"Commander"(???)

The figure in a Cloak looked at him...

"It seems like things have become complicated..."(???)

The guy looked at the distance where the mushrooms cloud was...

The figure looked at it for a second...

They then turned back and walked away from the window...

"Get us out of here..."(???)

"Commander?"(???)

"We can't continue as one of us just died without us knowing... We lost a big portion of our power and I don't want to lose anymore..."(???)

The figure looked at the guy and the guy trembles as he looked at the figure...

Then he lowered his head...

"As you command commander"(???)

Then the guy runs out leaving the figure behind...

He slowly looked at the window again...

Straight at where the mushrooms cloud is...

Pachussss.....

Steam came off from the figure...

"I wonder what happened over there..."(???)

The figure then walked back away from the window...

And then the vehicle moved away from there...

A couple of days later...

News of the city was spread all around the continent...

Words saying that it was a secret weapon others say that I was a punishment from the gods for the humans that invaded the land because it said that their strongest weapon was destroyed in that explosion...

But nobody knows what really happened inside the city...

The city was destroyed, leaving behind nothing but a place full of sand called The Fallen Dune City because of the place being desolate with no signs of life in what was once a city full of life...

Other than that, news that the human army retreated back to their capital city came to light a couple of days later...

Many were happy because of that and all of the city celebrated as the news was spread wide through the continent...

But there is still a small amount of military movement from the capital of the humans but nothing too big...

People say that it is because they don't want to lose another one of their strongest weapons...

Well, that's what the people in the city say...

Everyone in the continent was closely keeping an eye on the humans' capital city so there is no way anything will happen for now...

A month later a grand funeral was taken place in the middle of the city where every race lived...

A funeral about a great soldier risking his life and saving the continent...

His name was written as...

Echo the hero...

Sacrificing himself, saving and destroying the superweapon that attacks city S, and making the human army retreat back to their city...

Nobody knows if he was helped or not from what was written down...

Because they can't find any evidence anywhere...

To this day he was called the hero by everybody and will be known throughout the years to come...

And...

A couple of days later...

In a small town somewhere...

Inside a hotel in a small room...

Someone with a hoodie on was packing everything into a small bag...

Clachik....

Rushing! rushing!...

"Hm... That's everything right?"(???)

The one talking was a girl and was looking around the room to check if she didn't forget anything...

"Eh? Seriously? Um, where did I put it?... Ah, there it is!"(girl)

The girl slowly moved towards a table...

She grabbed something there and looked at it for a second, it was a hairpin...

Then she slowly moved her hand to her hair and...

Click!...

She placed the hairpin on the left side of her hair...

She smiled as she touched the hairpin...

"Well, time to get going!"(girl)

She grabbed her bag and ran towards the door...

Clachik!

She slowly opened the door and went out of the room...

As she got out she saw a wide blue sky in her view...

She sighed...

"Well... guess I'll have to train now..."(girl)

She looks up high in the sky...

Her blue and red eyes shined as they reflected the sun...

She slowly smiled thinking about what she experienced before...

Wwuuuussshhhhhh!

Suddenly a strong wind came, making the hoodie fall off from her head...

Revealing her black hair and animal ears on top of her head...

She sigh...

"Well, there goes that...now...Eli?"(girl)

[Yes Lia?](Elizabeth)

"Can you...um, tell me where your place is?"(Liana)

Liana scratched her face as she looked at Elizabeth on her screen...

[Um... Sure!](Elizabeth)

Liana sighed again and shook her head left and right as Elizabeth said that, then Liana moved out of the hotel while Elizabeth guided her to her place...

Wherever it is...

"Well I hope nothing bad will happen there..."(Liana)

She looked up at the clear blue sky and then slowly looked at her hands, opening and closing them a couple of times...

"..."(Liana)

She recounted the time she pulled the trigger...

She slowly looked up in the sky again...

"My first time killing someone... I wonder why I am so calm about it..."(Liana)

[Lia?](Elizabeth)

Elizabeth looked at Liana with a worried face...

"Hm? Oh, don't worry about it! Let's go, shall we? I hope I can stay hidden till the end..."(Liana)

Liana kept walking on the road to where her next destination was without minding what she was thinking. she just hopes that nobody knew that she was the one who made this big of a commotion...

Well...

Little did Liana know... 

She was being watched somewhere...

Buzz!buzz!buzz!.....

Click!

"Ah! seriously!? It had to break now of all times!?"(???)

Somewhere in a dark place...

A girl is looking at a static TV with a pale face...

She had blonde long hair, green eyes, and wore a white one-piece...

She grabbed the TV, shaking it left and right but nothing changed...

"Aw, come-on!? I just made this yesterday too!!!"(girl)

She drops down on the ground as she stares at the station TV with a dejected face...

Then suddenly in the distance, someone came towards the girl on the ground...

Step...step...step...step...

"Master... You still have a lot of work to do, so stop playing around"(???)

The girl looked at the one that said that to her...

What she saw was a girl with dark hair and dark eyes wearing knight-like armor while holding a small red cable in her hand...

Her face turned bright red as she pointed her finger at the girl wearing the knight armor...

"So it was you!"(girl)

"Now now stop whining... It's time for you to work!"(knight girl)

"Noooooo! I still haven't watched everything that Lia did!!!"(girl)

"Mind if I remind you that this is your fault for being lazy... Even though you have a lot of work to do. sigh*.... At least your little sister is better than you..."(knight girl)

"Hey! Don't talk to me like that Missy! I know that I am better than my little sister Eli~"(girl)

"Cough* says the girl who randomly reincarnated someone their for entertainment Cough*"(knight girl)

"Hey!?"(girl)

The girl sighed as the girl in knight armor told her that with a smile...

She looked at the static TV...

And then she sighed...

"Well... she always cracks me up you know? Her ideas are so fun to watch... Like seriously, shooting that guy in the face with the gun like that! blowing his face off into chunks while evading the bullets he shot at her!? then she teleported herself up high in the sky as the explosion happens below her~ even though it was her first time using that move too! then she controlled the wind around her to limit the shock wave and glided herself away from the explosion and then landed in a badass style on a hill far away from the city that just got nuked! without looking back at all at the explosion behind her while making a smug face and a peace sign with her hand like she knows I'm there or something~ ahhhh~ If she was a boy I might become a fan of her~"(girl)

Smack!

"Yeah yeah...fangirl all you want, you have work to do~"(knight girl)

The girl wearing knight armor chopped the top of the girl's head with her hand...

She rubbed the place where she got hit with tears in her eyes and slowly got up while grumbling curse words at her...

The knight girl just smiled at her as she slowly walked towards a table with a stack of paper on it...

"Oh how I wish I was like Eli...."(girl)

"Sadly if you did that then world will be in chaos"(knight girl)

"I'll blame you for that... Well, I'm looking forward to what she can do in the future! This is just the beginning you know~ I can't wait to see what she will do next after her training!"(girl)

The girl looked at the girl wearing knight armor with a smug grin and then took a paper from the pile and read it...

The knight girl just smiles at her then she looked at the static TV and then started walking there until she stepped on something...

Step!

She looked down and saw a remote on the ground by her feet...

She grabbed it and aimed it at the TV, pausing to look at the girl that was dragging a chair from somewhere towards the table full of paper, and then she looked back at the static TV again...

"I don't know why you picked her... But..."

She stared at the TV...

"I guess I'll leave everything to you now since you're the hero... And I'm not..."(knight girl)

Click!

Piu!

She clicked a button on the remote and the TV turned off...

She gently put the remote on a nearby table and went to where the girl was...

well guess it's time for me to slow down a bit... I've been doing a tight schedule with this! I'm going to just write 2 chapters a week now to add more to my free time writing or drawing while also doing something else... Anyway that's the end of the first story ark if I can say so myself I'm going to take a short break before continuing again... (since the first ark is complete It's time to go to the next story ark after Liana's training ended and that's going to be a time skip.... A very long time skip...)
