Tesla

......

🔇 N/A

Himeko

......

🔇 N/A

Tesla looked at Himeko. She wanted to say something, but failed to bring voice to those words...

🔇 N/A

While she hesitated, Himeko decided to speak her mind.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

... Can you make the Spear of Destiny?

🔇 N/A

Himeko stretched out her right hand that tightly held the red-colored serum.

🔇 N/A

HSN-b46 was printed on the other end of the test tube.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

It's about time we make use of this.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

......

🔇 N/A

We could find samples of the Holy Blood in the labs, but we don't have the serum.

🔇 N/A

If they could gather the materials and experimental records, Dr. Tesla might be able make the Spear of Destiny.

🔇 N/A

But...

🔇 N/A

Tesla

......

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Not trying to be pessimistic...

🔇 N/A

Tesla

... but there's too little serum in this tube. We have only 1 shot at this.

🔇 N/A

Alarm

...!

🔇 N/A

Another noise interrupted them.

🔇 N/A

Himeko stuffed the serum into Tesla's hands and turned around.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

I'll handle the enemies.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

You take care of this serum thing, Dr. Tesla.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

......

🔇 N/A

Tesla looked on quietly as Himeko left. She could feel the warmth of her hand from the test tube in her hand.

🔇 N/A

She could not lend voice to those words.

🔇 N/A

She knew that those words wouldn't change anything.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

......

🔇 N/A

Tesla

...let's do it, people. I'll show you what we can do!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

...hold this place! Don't let anyone bother me!

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches to the lab, where the Captain will have control of Himeko's [Scarlet Fusion] battlesuit. >

< Defeat the enemies. >

Himeko:

These enemies came down from the top floors.

Himeko:

I can't let them get any closer to Tesla!

< Enemies defeated. >

Himeko

Huff... huff...

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Is this the bottom floor that Fu Hua talked about?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Himeko? Are you still alive?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Alive and kicking, miss-us.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Is that the entrance to the bottom floor?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

......

🔇 N/A

Tesla

There shouldn't be any enemies nearby.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

We're running out of time. Let's split ways. You check what's down there...

🔇 N/A

Himeko

But you...

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Just go! I don't have time to dally here any longer.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Catch this.

🔇 N/A

Tesla threw down a small mechanical device.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

What's this?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Back up parts for a Valkyrie battlesuit. I found it in the lab.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

All this fighting has totaled your battlesuit.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

...don't get killed down there. I won't have time to salvage your corpse!

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Grr. Don't you worry about me.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

......

🔇 N/A

Tesla

(I think she's gone.)

🔇 N/A

Tesla

(Great.)

🔇 N/A

Tesla

(I can't have anyone looking at this test.)

🔇 N/A

Tesla put on her gloves and took out a syringe filled with a purple fluid.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

The time is now 15:44.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

The sample has been prepared as per the protocols. Commence testing phase.

🔇 N/A

She then injected the syringe contents into her arm.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black. >

She first injected a Honkai solution.

🔇 N/A

Her skin quickly took on a deathly white pallor.

🔇 N/A

Her skin capillaries gave off a discomforting, red glow that slowly spread from her wrist along her arms.

🔇 N/A

Tesla knew what's going on. She witnessed it countless number of times...

🔇 N/A

This is the first sign of human zombification.

🔇 N/A

But this is the first time she saw it happening to herself.

🔇 N/A

...she did her best.

🔇 N/A

Tesla's sure that she had not made any mistakes.

🔇 N/A

If the experimental data were true, then the fluid sample in her test tube would be the Spear of Destiny.

🔇 N/A

But that wasn't enough.

🔇 N/A

One more thing was needed to conclude the experiment.

🔇 N/A

Any experiment would need this final step.

🔇 N/A

Indeed.

🔇 N/A

Tesla took another syringe and took a sample of the other solution.

🔇 N/A

Theories, no matter how perfect, are just scratches on a paper until put to the test.

🔇 N/A

There were no volunteers.

🔇 N/A

...Tesla had no choice but to test them on herself.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

......hnnngggh!

🔇 N/A

She injected the entire fluid sample into her thin arm.

🔇 N/A

The capillaries did not change.

🔇 N/A

...perhaps it would take a while for the reaction to take place.

🔇 N/A

These few seconds was the most tortuous moments that Tesla ever experienced.

🔇 N/A

...it will be alright. Her theories are always right.

🔇 N/A

She tried closing her eyes.

🔇 N/A

She saw many visions in the darkness.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black. >

She saw how the serum failed to work, allowing the Honkai to corrupt her brain.

🔇 N/A

She saw how the Honkai began rampaging, causing her arm to blossom into a mess of blood and sinew.

🔇 N/A

——how the Honkai failed to activate inside her, but could not be neutralized...

🔇 N/A

She saw how she retained her consciousness while her body rotted and withered away.

🔇 N/A

She saw how her body reacted to it strangely while her skin assumed white and pinkish hues,

🔇 N/A

transcending the zombies and becoming a mighty Honkai beasts.

🔇 N/A

——one of those visions even included herself being transformed into a pink HOMU.

🔇 N/A

......

🔇 N/A

......

🔇 N/A

... She had closed her eyes long enough.

🔇 N/A

Tesla prayed as she opened her eyes...

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Huff... huff...

🔇 N/A

She only saw a thin, frail arm belonging to a girl.

🔇 N/A

There was nothing of note except for several blood vessels underneath her smooth and white skin.

🔇 N/A

Tesla never thought her arm could be so beautiful.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Oh dear...!

🔇 N/A

She collapsed to the ground like a puppet severed from its strings.

🔇 N/A

She drew in large gulps of air and felt as though a great burden has been lifted from her.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

...it worked!

🔇 N/A

She waved her right arm excitedly like a girl who just received her birthday present.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

That's right, mophead!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

I'm a true genius!!

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black. >

Meanwhile, at the bottom floor of the lab.

🔇 N/A

...

🔇 N/A

The flight of stairs seemed endless.

🔇 N/A

And then it ended abruptly.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

I guess this is the bottom floor...

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Alright, Fu Hua, I'm here...

🔇 N/A

The light shone and illuminated the outlines of this chamber.

🔇 N/A

...it was a somber sight, like a Holy Shrine housing a relic.

🔇 N/A

< Defeat the enemies. >

< Enemies defeated. >

Himeko

Huff... huff...

🔇 N/A

Himeko pulled herself over the wreckage of the Aesir mech and made her way to the end of the corridor.

🔇 N/A

...a bright red battlesuit was kept there.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

...I guess this is it.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Is this the thing you want me to find, girl?

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

......

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

You finally made it here.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

This is what you need. Otto hid this secret here.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

This is his other trump card. A weapon capable of engaging the Herrscher directly...

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

...the prototype of the Godsbane-series battlesuits: Vermilion Knight: Eclipse[sic]

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

The Herrscher has awoken. This battlesuit is the only means we have to fight her.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

This used to be a relic from the Previous Era.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

After acquiring it, Schicksal used it as the basis to develop their modern Valkyrie battlesuits.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

But Otto could not be satisfied. He had a crazier plan.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

He integrated the Gem of Haste to this battlesuit to recreate the powers of the Herrscher of Fire

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Before the test began, Otto ordered all S-rank Valkyries...

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

...to don this battlesuit and fight the Herrscher if the plan failed.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

...I am in no place to use this.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

You are the only one I can count on.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

......

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

But I'll leave the choice to you, Major...

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Enough talk.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

......

🔇 N/A

Himeko

I've already made up my mind.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

......

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

...Then allow me the honor of putting this on you.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua walked to the battlesuit and extended her hand.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

...go.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Wearing this battlesuit will allow the Herrscher gem to corrupt your mind.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

I will do what I can to delay the corruption.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

But you alone will make the difference.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

......

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Who are you, Fu Hua?

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

A person like you. We both want to change the world for the better.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

......

🔇 N/A

Himeko entered the battlesuit chamber. The light shone on her body.

🔇 N/A

...the world before her eyes slowly turned white.

🔇 N/A

...it felt like the first rays of dawn, saintly yet empty at the same time.

🔇 N/A

End
