"You were expecting to meet me and baby Rituxi?" Axane was rather surprised and grateful at the same time.

"To be honest, not specifically, but I always keep myself prepared." she said as she scratched her cheeks in embarrassment. It wasn't her that was prepared, but Kayla.

"You don't mind coming with us, do you?" Raven asked with a soothing smile.

"No, No I don't. Thank you... I really can't express my gratitude enough. I have nothing left here, or anywhere else." she said with a pained expression. "If you let me take care of baby Rituxi, I'd be more than happy to be your maid, I'll serve you till I die." she said as she looked at the baby then back to Raven.

"Nope, no need" Raven made Axane's heart stop for a second before clarifying, "I'd be more than happy to have you as a trusted friend, but I need no maids, just promise me you'll take care of the baby, Rituxi, ok?"

"But how can I repay you otherwise?"

"Don't worry about it, we didn't help you because we needed a payment, but because it was the right thing to do." she said with a smile as the rest of the group nodded in agreement.

"You heard her, sister!" Camilla said with a smile as she patted her shoulder slightly.

"Yea, you were part of the group the moment you helped Raven over there." Rain said making Raven blush at the memories of the strong caffeine.

But it only made Axane's eyes shine silver white which indicated to the others that she was crying. "Thank you, thank you very much..."

The only person that has ever been this good with her was her master. Since she was a maid, she wasn't treated or even viewed this kindly by others.

She was usually the person who takes care of things nothing more, and nothing less. Her master has always been good to her and that's why it made her feel even special when he entrusted baby Rituxi to her.

But she's never expected a stranger to save her, give her food, support her in her time of grief, and above all offer to take her home so she can be safe.

Not only that, but the strangers were of a completely different species, hell a different planet.

In her entire lifetime, she's never felt so thankful yet in debt to someone, not even her master. After all, she was his maid, whereas the crimson-purple haired girl, Raven, just wanted her to be a friend she could trust.

"Hey she said don't worry about it right?" Maria said as she slapped her back gently in an encouraging matter.

"You heard her," Joey said in a low, yet reassuring voice. Truth be told, he was rather tense for the fact that he was a lone boy with a bunch of beauties around him.

What made matters worse was that Raven was Draven before... a boy.

"Alright guys, I can't describe how excited I am to keep this going, but can we please leave already? I need a bath ASAP!" Maya cut the group.

Even though her tone was rude, everyone knew she only meant to ease the situation for Axane.

"Alright, let's get going!"

'Kayla, you're all good to activate the bracelets!'

WOOOSSHHH

Blinding light and deafening wind coursed by their eyes and ears for a moment before they could open their eyes again.

Once they did, the group found themselves back to....

"What the hell is this?" Maya voiced everyone's thoughts in an instant.

Looking around, the group realised they were surrounded by the remains of the not only the soccer field, but the whole area around it.

The sky was filled with dirty black clouds that gave off the feeling of being deep into the winter, even though it wasn't fall yet.

If it wasn't for the smell, no one would have realised that those in fact were smoke clouds and not rain clouds.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" A voice called out to the group as mana started to pulse around them in a threatening matter.

"We're friendlies! Don't attack!" Camilla yelled at the EDA rankers around them.

"Identify yourselves!" yelled the voice back.

"This is Special Agent Camilla Rogers! Identification rank S!" she shouted to be heard.

"Camilla, you're alive!!" a young masculine voice beamed as flame jets shot from his feet, propelling him towards the group.

In the blink of an eye, the group found themselves staring at a white youth in his twenties.

He had red flaming hair that gave off the feeling that his head was on fire, and matching eyes that inspired many.

"Of course I am, Jamie." Camilla said calmly and in a friendly matter. She wasn't a big fan of the one and only Flame Master Mage James Oliver, yet she didn't hate him. "Glad to see you're good and well too."

It was nothing personal, just that his too optimistic and sarcastic personality gave her the creeps. Even more when he gets professional.

'If anyone can change faces this fast, they can be a scorpion in a suit for all I know. Can't trust them.' that's what she's always thought.

To make matters worse, he was crushing hard on her. She'd have to be blind, deaf, and stupid, to not realise that. Unfortunately for him though, the feeling wasn't quite mutual.

Jamie had to fight his nerves to stop himself from hugging her, so after making sure she was alright, he looked at the group.

"I'm assuming they're a bunch of kids you saved? And who's that hiding behind the little girl?" He was sure Camilla can protect herself, but having to protect a bunch of civilians and kids must've been hard, especially with her powers that were mostly AOE attacks.

Looking at the group, he could see a silver haired girl looking down on what appears to be a baby in her arms, trying to hide herself behind a little crimson-purple haired girl but to no avail.

What made things rather weird was the fact that the little girl had an impressive set of armour covering her, and even though she was shorter than himself, it appeared as though he was looking up to meet her eyes.

'What the f*ck?' he thought to himself after shaking his head slightly. 'I must be dead tired after fighting so many monsters.'

Aside from them, there was a boy, and three other girls.
