Sachika used her speed to charge forward, as she dashed towards her enemy dust particles of white and blue trailed behind each of her dashes. Her opponent too used Tachyon to evade Sachika''s attack.


    She grunted as her opponent dashed away little did Sachika know that the colour of her iris'' was changing between her natural eye colour and azure blue.


    Chasing after the fleeing Familiar Sachika grabbed her by the hair yanking her backwards, the enemy Familiar whelped


    The turned around facing Sachika with new-found determination, but when she saw the look on Sachika''s face the ocean blue aura that she emitted, it was as if her instincts told her to run.


    She looked up to she that Sachika had a hand wrapped around her ankle with a look of hatred spread across her face.


    The Nebula controlled Familiar charged down the underground passageway that barely lit up from the limited light sources installed in the underground passages.


    Stopping short in front of the students for a few seconds both the third years and their enemy eyed one another.


    "Would you surrender if I asked you to?" Ashina directed her question towards the Nebula-controlled Familiars in a cheerful manner.


    As the enemy charged her Ashina smirked, "Essence Eruption" she muttered. Suddenly a deafening crack could be heard as a semi-bright light emitted around Ashina which then created a powerful shockwave heading away from herself.


    The girl fell to her knees weakened by Ashina''s attack, without warning the rest of the enemy group charged the student council president all of them using their incredible speed.


    Ashina wasn''t prepared for the whole group to attack she was only able to deflect one attack effectively leaving her open to the rest of the groups'' attacks, she reinforced her guard stance towards the nearest attacker.


    Wendy, a hand to hand Familiar type felt at home in this close quarter situation as she grabbed the attacking Familiars ankle, then threw her into the reinforced concrete wall leaving a large impact crater.


    Wendy turned to Ashina, "Are you alright President?" she asked.


    In response Ashina smiled innocently, "You didn''t need to go out of your way to save me"


    The Familiar girl that Wendy had just thrown into the wall pulled her herself out of the crevice, as well the girl that Ashina attacked moments ago stood up slowly.


    "Well, it looks like they''re not messing around now" one of the other third-year students spoke out.


    "Agreed..." Wendy replied as she turned to look at Ashina "...President, plan of action?"


    Ashina''s annoyed expression was clearly visible to Wendy, "No matter what, we can''t let them get through those blast doors..." she changed her stance to that of an attacking position, as faint orange dust particles emanated from the energy currents of her armour pieces "...let''s do this!"


    Amelia already knew what Ashina wanted as did the other Coordinators, in unison, they activated her Essence Barriers that shrouded their Familiar partners in a protective veil.


    "Ma''am, I have some insane compatibility readings here" the operator called out.


    Mistress Daiki rushed over to take a look at the readings upon the operators'' screen she looked at it with hesitation and shock, "That can''t right check it again!"


    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.The operator ran another test only for the same results to come back up again on her screen.


    "Quickly get me a visual!" the Mistress ordered, it wasn''t long before an image on the big screen showed that of Sachika in her Essence Form beating one of the Familiar girls turned Nebula to death like a ragdoll.


    W-What? How is...Sachika Eto able to harness the same power as that girl before her,it was all the Mistress could think.


    When her mind was brought out of its daze she ordered the operator to send a strike team to take out the Nebula Cruiser Platform that was still on the route towards the academy.


    Everything now came down to Ashina and her squad stopping the small group that they had encountered not so long ago, and how to approach the unforeseen situation that Sachika had gotten herself into.


    "I''m counting on you girls, please don''t falter" Mistress Daiki quietly muttered to herself.<hr>


    She once again punched her violently in the torso as the sound of cracking ribs could be heard, the girls back lurched in response to sudden pain receptor of her bone breaking.


    Suddenly Sachika grabbed the back of the girls head pressing it tightly against the floor as the girl hastily tried to break free from her grip.


    Turning the girl around to face her, Sachika noticed the red pulsating light beneath the girl''s chest armour.


    With incredible strength, Sachika pried the armour off the girl''s chest as blood pouring from the patches of skin tore off with the armour.


    The girl''s body slumped back to the floor aimlessly, she was still alive however she experienced so much pain that she gave out consciously.


    In turn, the girl screamed as the crystal along with artery like tendrils were ripped out of the small puncture wound. Once fully removed the red lighting from her armour had died down, the girl was somewhat conscious only able to barely speak.


    "K-Kill m-me"


    Sachika blinked for a moment as if a hint of humanity was registered within her.


    Tears started to run from the corners of the girls'' eyes, "P-Please kill me" she whispered.


    Her arm shaking uncontrollably Sachika mind was fighting with itself on whether to kill the girl or not, eventually, she pulled back her right arm, the bladed gauntlet aiming for the girl''s heart.


    However, she paused unable to finish the girl off when she felt a tight soft embrace wrap around her stomach when she turned her head to see whom it was Sachika almost stopped breathing for a moment her eyes wide in shock.<hr>


    As the strike force quickly ran through the forest in the distance many of them could see the flashing of purple, pink and red explosions in the sky.


    It wasn''t long before they came across a temporary forward operating base set up by the JSDF.


    "Move!" shouted a JSDF medic as he ran through the group of Familiar''s and Coordinator''s, the injured soldier he helped was badly injured.


    Since the battle at the academy, the JSDF had done all they could to slow down the advance of the Nebula Cruiser Platform but at great costs of men and equipment.


    Upon seeing this sight before her Chi-Sun''s determination to destroy the Nebula was greater than ever, she couldn''t stand to watch people that had no form of protection against the Nebula be massacred by them.


    She grunted at the thought, her emotions fuelled by anger for what the Nebula have done to them, spinning around on the spot she directs her attention to the rest of the second year students.


    "It''s time to go, we have a date with death..." she smirks "...it''s best not to keep him waiting"


    A chorus of cheers could be heard throughout the base as the Familiar second-year students pumped themselves up for the upcoming final battle with the Nebula Cruiser Platform.


    "Wait...are those...Familiar''s?" a soldier asked hesitantly, his arm in a sling.
