Part 2
Access 7
Tokio and Tsukasa are at Lumina Cross to find Haseo. Tokio wonders on the name Battle City, Saika appears and explains the arena, Tsukasa remarks that after thousands of (in game) years things have changed. As Saika explain the settings of past versions she wonders how will R:X be. She realizes its time for school and logout.
Tokio walks around the interesting city, he likes it here rather then slogging in school. He suggests to Tsukasa about participating in the arena as he gloats about how he defeated Trommel and was chosen by Kite. Tsukasa was grateful to Tokio, he finds him special but kind of weak. Tsukasa explains that the arena was built to curb PK, Tokio is surprised that theres a part of reality in the game too. Tsukasa catches a glimpse of someone in the alley, he told Tokio to wait there and rush off. Tokio wanders off on his own.
Posaneo on a rooftop. As he checks a chat log he makes a PC swing his axe at another PC, causing an argument. Posaneo snickers, he wonders where is Haseo. Tokio wanders to an alley where he saw a PC being bullied. Tokio tries to be the hero but was beaten, badly. Haseo appears and proceed to punish the thugs. Haseo doesn't look evil, maybe crazed, like his past self. One thug tries to shoot at Haseo's back, Tokio rushes to Haseo. As he touches Haseo, he sees his memories, he sees Shino's death. Haseo was pushed to safety, the thugs escaped. An angry Haseo blames Tokio, Tokio in a glazed look mutters "Triedge..""Shino's revenge..I'll definitely see to it". Tokio realized that the same thing is happening like with Tsukasa.
"Do you know Triedge!! The one who PK-ed Shino..!" Haseo exclaimed.
As Tsukasa chases the person, who is revealed to be Azure Kite.
- Ok this turned out pretty lengthy.
Access 8
Haseo urges Tokio to spill it on Triedge. Tokio assures that Shino is ok, Triedge is no more and its all the past. Haseo rejects the words as nonsense. And suspects Tokio as a comrade of Triedge. Tokio said he saw his memories but Haseo went on to attack. Tokio senses the strenth of Haseo(lvl 99), he thinks it would be good to have him as a comrade. As Haseo charge towards him, he tackles Haseo at the waist and yells for him to wake up. Tokio disappears. A happy Posaneo appears, he is glad that Tokio and Haseo have not become friends yet. Posaneo went on to modify the image of the Triedge in Haseo's memory from Azure Kite to Tokio.
Tokio wakes up and found himself back in front of the arena, he wonders about Haseo with a half-awake, lost look. Tsukasa walks back, he lost sight of the PC that looks like Kite. Tsukasa runs up to Tokio, asks him where hes been. The loudspeaker booms with the commentary. Tokio didn't speak a word as Tsukasa asks him about his injuries. He staggers up the stairs of the arena.
Alkeid(lvl 99) has won a 3-on-1. Tokio looks on in awe. He realises that being in the game is different from playing games. It frustrates him that he is only lvl 1 and everyone is strong then him and he is so far from being a hero. He wants to become stronger. In the ring, Alkeid the new champ declares confidently that she is the strongest. Haseo butts in as a new challenger. With a clawed, different right arm and in an evil glazed look he declares Alkeid as weak.
Access 9
The confrontation of the lvl 99s. Tokio find Haseo different. Tsukasa's Guardian is afraid of the unusual evil presence of Haseo. Tokio think s that it might be something done to Haseo by the Schicksal in order to extract the core just like with Tsukasa. The crowds recognize the infamous PKK but Alkeid confidently assures that she will win.
Battle starts, in one strike Alkeid is pushed to the ground. Alkeid still confident returns a few moves knocking Haseo up and down. Its like shes won, she thinks its over. But Haseo charges up towards Alkeid, grabs her by the throat pushing her to the ground.
Alkeid: Its as if my attacks had no effect...
Alkeid: Why..
[She sees Haseo's stats window]
Alkeid: L..level 200!?
[Somewhat a bishounen look with panda eyes, says in an evil font]
Haseo: You will fall together with me
Haseo shocks Alkeid with his malformed right arm. Tokio prepares to step out to stop Haseo but remembers his helplessness. Tsukasa's Guardian is waiting for a chance to stike Haseo although he is doubtful of the effectiveness.
Posaneo overlooks Haseo shocking Alkeid, he remarks on how cool Haseo is. Tokio can't stand it, he yells out to Haseo. Haseo flicks. An explosion. Fluttering skirt, panty flash. Panzer Saika(lvl 200) arrives to stop the fight. Saika fires she wants the core to emerge. Tokio is dumbstruck.
- Panzer Saika: Saika appears in flight goggles, in some sleeveless flight attendent costume, carrying a long barrel cannon and a short 3-barrel cannon. She is surrounded with a metal ring hooked up with panels.
Access 10
Confrontation of the lvl 200s. Tokio wonders why Saika is in the arena. Saika fires a barrage, Haseo charge through the smoke. On analysis, Saika find Haseo's right arm specially strengthened and aims to destroy that. But the shot is blocked. Haseo went on to use a skil with his scythe. It hits the spectators, a cloaked figure saves Tokio and scurries off. Saika is having a hard time, her attacks ineffective, its getting dangerous. She looks at the unconcious Alkeid.
Using her floating ring of panels she generate a illusion of Shino to hold back Haseo as she tries to get Alkeid. But it didn't last long. As Saika helps Alkeid, Alkeid looks at her in a sinister expression. Haseo angered by the illusion charges towards Saika, Saika fires, a huge explosion. From the smoke a scratched Saika emerged. She calls Tokio and Tsukasa for a retreat. Haseo sees Tokio. He screams "TOKIIIOOO!!". Saika teleports the party away.
At some place. Saika lectures Tokio. She seems to be blaming Tokio for being useless as up till now she has ben doing most of the things. Tsukasa tries to side with Tokio saying that Tokio has a great power that he hasn't learnt to control. But Tokio agrees with Saika. If he was strong, Kite wouldn't be defeated, Haseo's Chrono Core would be easily obtained. He apologize to Saika. Saika flustered and insists that she wasn't particularly blaming Tokio. And suddenly she drops to the ground, somewhat in pain. In Tokio's arms she weakly urges him to hurry up with the Chrono Core. Overlooking the scene is the cloaked figure who covered Tokio in the arena, the hood is off. Its a back view but it looks like Klarinette of Schicksal.
At the arena champion use HOME, Icoro. Posaneo observes that the fight has intensified Haseo's Chrono Core respond, he is happy. Haseo remarks Possaneo that he really got to see Tokio again in the arena. Posaneo replies that only a fool would search every area in The World blindly, he reasons that Tokio will come to find Haseo. Posaneo wants Haseo to remain here and continue fighting.
- So Posaneo made Haseo stay to fight until he can get the Chrono Core I suppose.
==part 2 ends? manga annouced a 3 months break==
Part 3
Access 11
Serialization starts again.
First 2 pages recap on how Tokio has the power to stop Schicksal, how Tokio was given the "Yuusha" title by Kite and told to gather his comrades who carry the Chrono Cores in their PC, how gathering the "Twilight Knights" choosen by the goddess can restore the Akashic Records making possible to seal Schicksal's power and saving the world.
Back at that area from the last chapter..
Tokio cradles the fainted Saika, calling for her. Suddenly in a flash Saika's Panzer costume disappears leaving her in her lingerie. She wakes up and gave Tokio a hard punch. Putting her school uniform on she laments that the PC data she painstakenly created is broken and Panzer is no longer usable. She blames Haseo for it. Tokio butts in he was worried for her.(At the other side he signals to Tsuksa, "Saw it". Tsukasa signals back "Everything")
Since Saika's genius cheat can't stand up to Haseo she would like to count on Tokio but she remarks that Tokio can't be relied on. Tokio himself agrees too. Putting on a sincere heart-melting expression, Saika says she really want to get her hands on the Chrono Cores and plead Tokio to buck up. Tokio, touched, replied eagerly saying that he will become stronger to save Kite and bring Haseo to normal. On hearing that Saika flashed a big smile and carry on to announce her training plan for Tokio for the day, 500 times of several exercises. No mercy.
Tsukasa thinks back about how Tokio saved him but snapped out from his thoughts when Tokio fall down to his knees...because of hunger.
At a fast food restuarant, Tokio hastly ordered a set meal from an eager waitress.
Tsukasa: "I have some stuff to look into so.."
Saika: "Idiot!! I don't care anymore!"
As Tokio prepare to take a bite from the burger he remarked that the 2 don't get along well. Tokio finds the burger really delicious much better then his mom's "cooking". The waitress found his reaction strange as it should just replenish HP and SP , its her first time hearing people say that its delicious as though they tasted it. Tokio wonders how is his mom now, probably fuming he suppose.
Sitting behind him with a drink is the cloaked figure who saved him last chapter.
Scene switch to Schicksal hideout..
"I wanna be friends with Tokio", Fluegel said dreamily with a lollipop in hand.
Cello exclaims that the way he speaks is very misleading, Metronome suggest a plan of going undercover to get close to Tokio to investigate his latent ability and maybe any possible way to seal it.
"Klarinette, can you do it?", Fluegel say to the female member that was staring at a floating screen with Tokio footage.
"...Yes", she replied.
(No black borders so not a flashback?)
Back at the fast food restuarant..
Some ruckus attracted the attention of the cloaked figure, its those thugs from chapter 7. Bumping in to Tokio, they wanted payback. But the cloaked figure intervenes, brought down the thugs and grabbed Tokio's arm then both run off. Tokio remembers the cloaked figure. "Master!!!" he called to the figure, having saved him twice Tokio thinks that it is heaven's will and eagerly request to become a dicsiple.
At the arena..
The champion couple Haseo and Alkeid takes out another challaging team as Tsukasa watches. He noticed that Posaneo is in the midst of the spectators, looking gleefully into his crystal ball. "Just as I thought..", Tsukasa confirmed that Schicksal is behind Haseo's memory manupilation and on top of it they are watching him and on friendly terms. Who is that PC that looks like Kite? Tokio's ability is still developing. Thoughts filled Tsukasa's mind as he sits in rest. As he holds up the feather from Subaru, he thinks he still can't go back yet as he have not regain all his memories.
With Tsukasa in his world of thought Haseo steps in swiftly grabs Tsukasa by the neck.
"You're with Tokio aren't you", Haseo stares down at Tsukasa. An intense stare..
Access 12
Cello yawns as she complains that Nettie-chan is not back and she is bored. She jumps into Nome-kun and asks him how is Haseo, who is managed by Posa-kun, like. Metronome starts talking on Haseo..PKK..Shino..unconcious..blah. Cello thinks that its romantic, becoming a demon for the loved one. Metronome wonder about that.
Continuing from previous chapter. "Wheres Tokio", Haseo asks while strangling Tsukasa. The Guardian materialize behind Haseo and attacks! Haseo dodges, freeing his grip on Tsukasa. Tsukasa introduce himself and asked why is Haseo chasing Tokio. Haseo replies that Tokio PK-ed Shino (*Posa-kun memory manupilation) and he wants to catch Tokio and make him spill out the way to get Shino back.
Tsukasa: ..You..are the same as me (I too didn't know I was controlled by Schicksal)
Both sides charge towards each other
Haseo: I don't get you at all!
Tsukasa: You have mistaken!!
Tsukasa: Overchrome!!
Haseo jumps through the smoke. Tsukasa blocks Haseo's strike with his rod, the impact brings him crashing to the ground. Tsukasa ordered the Guardian to surround and restrict Haseo but Haseo brings out his razor-teeth broadsword, slicing the Guardian. (As Metronome cuts in with his Haseo intro on the multiweapon job) Haseo brings out his other weapons but ends up deciding that his right hand is enough. As Haseo charges towards Tsukasa, Metronome talks about "Tri-edge" whom Haseo was originally chasing. How he looks like Kite.
Back at the battle, Azure Kite appears to Tsukasa's aid holding off Haseo's arm...
At a back alley. Haseo follows the clocked figure. The cloaked figure is silent. Haseo wonders if his sudden one-sided request has made the cloaked figure mad. Remembering that "The World" is just a game, Tokio thinks that maybe in the real world his "master's" brother is around and its hard to speak. "Shinn..", Tokio's eagerness reignites. He started eagerly asking what equipment is under the cloak and wildly speculating what the master's job is.
"How about you?"
The cloaked "shifu" replies via a chat box.
"Oou! Chat! I see, that way you won't bother your family!"
Tokio's one-sided intepretation.
"Whats your job?"
The master asked.
"....my job?"
"Now my...job is.."
"The Hero that will save The World!"
[A frame of the cloaked head]
[A flashback frame of a girl(probably Klarinette IRL) looking at Tokio in a game arcade]
"though with that said..."
"umm..maybe a hero..in training..?"
Tokio sheepishly adds.
"Thats not strange"
The cloaked figure turns away.
"Wait up, master!"
"I'm weak now but if I train..ARH!"
Tokio trips on an uneven brick on the floor.
Grabbing onto and pulling the cloak, he finds himself face to face with an expressionless bear PC wearing a vest with a heart eyepatch at the left eye. The surprised Tokio can't make out the job of the bear PC at all. "You just want to be stronger" the bear says as they both teleport.
They appear on a cliff. Tokio wonders where they are. Finding a family of lucky animals he remarked that meeting master has gave him luck. As he is hugging the lucky animal and wishing for the better (Saika to stop bullying him, Haseo to not PK him..), the bear pushes him off the cliff.
Tokio lands on a springy mushroom. The bear squirms to the edge of the cliff, looking down.
"Climb up"
Its a loong way up. Tokio thinks twice about his luck.
Turning around he sees that the place is actually a gym of sorts.
Cello remarks she gave Nettie-chan something interesting, a bear suit. She hopes that it is of use.
Metronome is speechless.
