Ninomiya saw that Hiori has escaped.

He scans the area with his sense, releasing an echo and feeling the heartbeat of the people around the area.

Even machines need an engine, 

The roaring of two engines, one faint and one high.

The edges of the inflicted zone of battle were dipped in small puddles of lava made from the immense heat released by Hiori and Ninomiya.

Unaffected by the heat were 6 individuals.

Karin, Ace and Past Hiori.

Akito is in the basement lab, struggling to turn on the camera.

The area is scorching hot, but the basement of Akito was made up of a special alloy and heat resilient substances.

Ninomiya goes for the closest, 

Out of nowhere, he goes in the opposite direction.

There he finds 2 people, now in total 6.

A clone of Ninomiya, and the original Unit Six.

The clone was a woman version of the demon ancestry Ninomiya himself.

But it was a diluted version of him.

She was half as pure as him.

They were hiding all along, Ninomiya offers them swift death but the clone and unit six refuse suddenly.

They wanted to fight to the death and prove their faith to Akari.

But on the other hand, Akari was on another planet.-

The planet of Orbit, Ninomiya's home planet.

Akari looks to the bright light that shined in her head.

Awareness struck her as she looked at the sides.

"Where am I?"

She looks at the 3 individuals who were eating the meat of some animal, a woman and two males.

Akari is hungry, she felt like she hadn't eaten in 20 years or something.

Instinct drove her towards the 3, they noticed her but they were not feared at all.

It was nighttime, and the 17 moons were glowing due to the sunlight that reflects on them, not the planet.

The sky had no stars, unfortunately.

They were in the middle of the forest, a small fire and cooked meat.

A corpse of a huge animal was at the side.

Akari took a piece of meat suddenly, and the horned individuals looked at her in dead silence as she ate that whole piece of meat in seconds.

The hunger drove her crazy, she took another.

She tasted that meat, it was more delicious than the ones on earth.

Maybe she hadn't tasted any meat after she was busy.

She was like a child, a lost child trying to correct a mistake now she is here on her father's home planet.

The sky howled, no- some animal did.

Once they had their meal, Akari asked something.

They all replied something in some language Akari didn't understand.

Akari was so confused at that point that the woman who was in the group of individuals came up to her, and said "Diz eûth potæ."

So confused as to what that language meant, 

The woman points her finger to the head of Akari, 

Akari is struggling as that one finger is making her bleed from her ears and nose.

was it some sort of attack? no-

She was showing her something-

Akari saw something she was desperate for, 

The memories of that woman were displayed in Akari's head- no

They were copied from one person to another.

How was that even possible for a race to do that?

To send memories and steal them?

Akari saw that woman's face.

She was trembling, her legs collapsed.

She had not just given Akari memories but taken hers as well.

She saw her King.

The one who stands above all, she saw the hope.

A hope to end the war.

The woman cried,

"Where is he now?", she asked Akari.

[In their language but Akari can now understand.]

The men come, " What do you mean by him?"

"Our king, he is alive. She is his child. Our princess, the next ruler of this planet. We can finally win the war.", she said with a sad face crying with hope.

The men fall to their feet, " Your highness."

Akari now gained fame and was readily asking that what was that they meant to end the war.

She thought deeply, but then the woman replied.

"Your highness, our race is slowly dying, we only have a few soldiers and a small population of 20,000 and around left. Day by day we are being hunted as how weak we are. I am Shuu, a soldier and the leader of this squad. We need your strength, to overthrow the race of aliens that have invaded our lands."

As soon as she said that, now she had Akari's interest.

Akari was born to solve and create wars.

Now she gets to fight a war where she can go all out.

Akari tried to milk some more information about what happened that caused it all because not all memories were copied.

The woman replies that "We demons haven't evolved in a million millennia, the planet became too easy for us to be sustained, then came the Gods. From the 17 moons, 17 races of Gods descended. Each with their attributes, strength that almost exceeds ours and a better brain to think than us. 

Our race dwindled in numbers as the Gods launched full-scale attacks on this land.

To that day, we were still fighting a war we can't win.

Then came 'he'."

Akari is asking who 'He' was referenced to as, 

The atmosphere became tense, 

a wind blew, and the trees shook.

His name was known across the land.

The first of his kind, the one who defeated thirteen out of the seventeen races himself all alone.

Powers can be shared and inherited.

He took it, for the greater good.

"His name was Kage, Kage Shomeikatsu Hotaru.

The human, who became a demon.-
