"Was I just dreaming when I heard Eureka getting mad last night?" Azusa asked.All seven of them woke up in the afternoon the next day and as if they have the same mind, they all went to the garden of the hospital upon waking up.
"But I think I"ve heard her as well," Karen replied.
Though they were brought back unconscious they actually regained consciousness just as Eureka was getting mad at Akihiro.
"I did as well," Feena added.
"We did too. But didn"t she had her emotions sealed?" Hideyos.h.i.+ commented furrowing his brows.
And as if on cue all of them looked at Raven.
"Why do you always find answers on me when it comes to her?"
"Cause you always know the answer?" Mamoru asked in return.
"Shouldn"t you be asking her that yourself?"
"But will she answer us?"
"I shall answer you," another voice chimed in and Eureka came out from the building.
"You"re here," Karen said happily.
"Yes, I am here. And I am here to answer your questions," she replied.
She had a lot of thought last night. If she answer all their questions that would remove a lot of burden on her. They might get hurt but it"s still better than them finding out about it during the battle itself.
"You"re going to answer our questions?" Azusa asked as if she heard it wrong.
"I"ll do my best to answer everything you want to ask."
They all looked at each other, "Do you want to take a sit then?"
"I"ll remain standing," she politely declined as she leaned in the wall.
"Then let me ask the first question," Karen started.
"You still have your emotions?"
"Yes, I do."
"Why did you lie and made us all think that you don"t have them?"
"Because I"m scared. I"m scared that I might end up getting too attached and that might cause me to lose control."
"What are you afraid of losing control?"
"Myself."
"Are you really a zero?"
"I refer to myself as a zero, but to everyone else I am not."
"Then what is your ability? Who are you?"
"I wish to keep that to myself for now. Is that possible?" Eureka replied, as her face showed a complicated look.
"What happened to us?" Mamoru asked in the end.
"You can"t possibly get used to your newly acquired power in such a short period of time. Have you tried using your weapons on a daily basis after you finished that training?"
"No we kept it. King Akihiro said that we must hold on to it like our lives depend on it," Feena answered.
"Yes take care of it like your life depends on it but that doesn"t mean you must not use it and get use to it. It is an ability weapon, obviously it would use up some of your energies. If you don"t get used to it then you really won"t be able to use it properly and it will end up killing you instead."
They all fell silent. They were conceited to be honest, they were conceited as to using it as a secret weapon. They didn"t want to show it to others but in the end they should have brought it out.
"It"s all the same with how you first trained, how you tried to get used to it, you should also the do the same with that weapon," Eureka explained.
"And that shall be your next training."
"What else do you want to tell us then?" Theo asked afterwards.
"I shall be revealing something in front of all of your parents, I think you all need to be there as well. And I want you all to prepare for it will really hurt," she said before bidding them goodbye.
"What will it be?" Feena asked Raven.
"Even I have no idea," Raven sincerely replied.
But he somehow have a feeling, since even their parents would be present.
"We just have to wait until they call for us."
"Should I be there as well?" Theo couldn"t help but ask he is after all still an outsider to all of them.
"She didn"t say you couldn"t then you should be there as well," Raven replied.
*****
Akihiro have sent a letter to Confederate Kingdom about an accident happening to the first escort group. He told them that he shall be sending some of his generals to meet them half way. They all just waited for the others to arrive before Akihiro called everyone to the castle in the inner hall.
"What is this urgent thing you want to say?" Ryosuke asked.
"We literally rushed everything in the borders," Teiji followed.
"Am I really supposed to be here as well?" Layla couldn"t help but ask.
"Well, Eureka said all of us after all," Mutsumi said as she and Haruka sat beside Layla.
All eight of them arrived at the same time.
"I see that you all are still alive," Kohei said upon seeing his son. Of course they were already informed of the event that had happened to their children. Akihiro even apologised, to which they replied with, "We have already considered them half dead when they became knights. If they were to die in the battle then we can only accept it."
Akihiro told them that he had sent them while their trainings are still incomplete, "Will you stop apologising. Everywhere is a battle field. Your enemies won"t wait for you to complete your training before they attack you. We are indeed happy that they have returned alive but if ever they didn"t then it shall not be your fault."

"Alive and kicking," Hideyos.h.i.+ replied with a grin.
"All of you, sit down now," Akihiro instructed as he sat down as well he then looked at Eureka.
"This shall be a very very long one, I hope you would all be able to keep up," Eureka started.
They all quietly nodded and prepared their minds.
"As a whole, there are parallel worlds, and this is just one of those. I came from one of the futures of those parallel worlds."
"You are not from this place?" Haruka asked, of course this is her first time hearing it as well. Akihiro didn"t want to go and tell her things while Eureka haven"t said anything yet.
"No, your highness. I am from this world as well. I was taken when I was a new born and was raised to that place in order to help save this world. This is their next target after all."
"Those futures, what happened to them?" being in a world of abilities, they weren"t too shock of finding out about parallel worlds.
"Destruction, death, anyway you want to describe a dark world."
"Are you telling us that those worlds were destroyed by only one enemy?"
"Yes, sir. One and the same enemy."
"How?"
"Just as I was taken and brought back. Time travelling."
"Is there such an ability?"
"There"s none. But you can create it."
"What ability can create it?" this question was asked by Akihiro himself.
Looking around and seeing how the seven were not affected only means she had told them about this already.
"Speed. And that is why they wanted to take Azusa to their side. Once they destroy this world they"re going to use her to jump to another. All the other her were the same."
"Why? Why do they always have to use each Azusa?"
"Because they are many. And this kind of ability making isn"t the same as our in born ones. It depletes."
"But aren"t there other speed ability user? Why Azusa?"
The question left Akihiro"s mouth and just as it had, all of them showed a sign of understanding.
"I guess you all ended with the same conclusion."
"Then is he alive?" Layla was the one who asked this time.
"I don"t know if the person you know is still alive."
"Eureka," Akihiro spoke as terror filled his heart, the same with the others.
"I"m sorry. As for the question you are going to ask, my answer is yes. He is indeed our enemy."
All of them felt their hearts stopped beating, Layla have lost all her strength. Azusa wanted to stand up but was stopped by Mamoru.
"No, no, no, no, no, please tellme you are lying. He has alter selves right? It can"t be him," Azusa said as her tears started flowing.
"Parallel worlds will have an event, an event that is the same for all of them. And that event is the time he used Time travelling. So upon reaching the future he never thought would be his destination, all the him from the parallel worlds became one and the same. And his choice there would be the spreading out of his alter selves once again. But his decision was one and the same as well. Destruction, all he wanted was destroy everything," Eureka explained.
"But why? Why would he choose that?" Layla took the role of asking this question.
"Cause his family have died. Azusa was bullied and ended up dying. And Lady Layla who lost all her dear ones ended up taking her own life. The furture he ended up being in had that kind of future for his family. I"m not saying that all the futures would have been the same. But it just so happens that he arrived at such future."
No one could speak. Mamoru is still hugging Azusa tightly as Azusa starts having a break down. Layla is the same, Haruka and Mutsumi is also holding onto her tightly.
"Why does it have to be Leo?" Akihiro grabbed his hair and asked.
