"That's weird. Is Alya not done fighting the masked man yet?" Masachika asked everyone.
Sayaka then voices her concern, telling everyone "Last time we fought him, he was on par with Alya in enhanced mode."
"But since he now doesn't wield his photon weapon after giving it to Alice, maybe it should be easier?" Sayaka added.
"What takes her so long, though? I'm worried…" Masachika said.
"Don't worry, big bro! She should be here anytime soon!" Yuki stated, trying to cheer Masachika up.
"I trust that she-"
Yuki's sentence then gets cut short by a loud interruption.
A loud bang can be heard from nearby, causing a brief ringing in everyone's ears.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Nonoa shouted.
Everyone's gaze turned to the smoking small crater that'd formed near them.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, they can finally see what caused it.
At the center of the crater, Alya lay unconscious, or rather, turned off.
Alya has fell out of the sky earlier, and her landing created that small crater on the road near them.
"ALYA!!!" Everyone shouted while rushing toward her.
Suddenly, a black masked figure fell out of the sky and landed on his two feet near Alya's still body near the crater before they could come closer to Alya.
After recognizing that it's the masked man, everyone (save for Chisaki) readies their weapons, preparing for combat.
"That masked man can now beat Alya, even without the sword!?" Sayaka thought to herself.
"This is bad… he is this strong now!"
The masked man looks at Alya with hate after ruining ONA and Skymolding project.
"This is the last time you have caused me problems, fuckbot." The masked man said as he grabbed Alya by her throat.
The masked man then turns his gaze around, seeing the Liberators and the barely clothed Chisaki near them.
"… W-wha… What the fuck?" The masked man said with a shivering tone.
His eyes widened, and his jaw dropped low. He then asked her loudly.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM BARELY CLOTHED, CHISAKI!?"
"EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"
"ARE YOU BETRAYING ME!?"
Everyone stayed silent, surprised at the first time they saw the masked man losing his composure.
"This is the first time I have ever seen him get so worked up." Yuki thought to herself.
"Could it be that he still needs her to convince Kenzaki-senpai?"
"Does he need something from him?"
Chisaki then decides to clarify everything with him, saying "Leader, it's-"
However, before she can talk more, Masachika wraps his arms around her neck and shuts her mouth with his left palm.
"It is as you have seen, you black masked fuck."
"I am going to make her join us with some good dicking session."
The masked man grips his hands tight in anger in response after hearing his words.
"We finally met each other."
"I'm Kuze Masachika, a Japanese man."
"It's truly not a pleasure knowing you exist, Felbert."
"Likewise." The masked man replied maliciously.
The masked man then stated his ultimatum: "Get your filthy hands off her, you insolent man. Else, this sexbot zombie here will be resting in pieces."
Masachika then holds his blade to Chisaki's neck in lethal mode.
"Mnnngh!?" Chisaki grunted with muffled noise while squirming a little.
"Oh yeah? Then don't blame me if your precious Lead Enforcer of the Law gets hurt."
"I wonder why you are so protective of her."
"Do you wish to protect her and prevent your supposed best friend Kenzaki Touya from being cucked…"
"… Or do you have some feelings for her yourself?"
"I can't blame you, Sarashina-senpai is fucking cute and hot." Masachika stated while looking up and down Chisaki's near-nude figure with a devious grin.
Chisaki's face turned crimson from embarrassment and excitement as Masachika stated such sweet words near her ears, feeling the warm air from his mouth grazing her right earlobe.
"Damn it… he is so alluring now…" Chisaki thought to herself while her breath turned frantic.
He then takes a deep breath, sniffs her hair and kisses her cheek affectionately down to her neck right in front of him, then licks her face like a Popsicle.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING KUZE-KUN!?? Fuck, it feels so good!!!" Chisaki thought to herself.
"This is… straight up sexual harassment… But…"
Her body starts feeling tingly and warm, aroused by his advances.
Even though she knew she should be disgusted and resist him, she also wanted him to continue his actions.
"STOP THAT YOU FUCKING RAPIST PLAYBOY!!" The masked man shouted angrily.
"Good, good. He is taking the bait." Masachika thought to herself.
"Let the anger flow into you, you masked bastard."
"Be angrier and let your guard down..."
"That way, Alya can find a chance to escape."
"Please turn on already, Alya!!!"
"Is impregnating almost every woman near you right now not enough?!!" The masked man yelled while pointing at him.
"You had to steal someone else's… Your friend's girlfriend!?"
"How the fuck did you know about that!?" Masachika shouted.
Chisaki moves her head a bit to free her mouth from his palm and expresses her shock.
"WHAT!? KUZE-KUN, YOU KNOCKED UP EVERYONE HERE!?" Chisaki exclaimed and asked him.
"Yes, yes, that's right… Can we have this talk another time?" Masachika answered.
"Big bro is just built different." Yuki boasted.
"Not me, though... At least not yet…" Nonoa added.
"That's… somehow even more surprising…" Chisaki replied.
"That's rude! Are you calling me a slut!?" Nonoa retorted.
"JUST RELEASE HER ALREADY!" The masked man angrily demanded loudly.
"Wouldn't you like that?" Masachika replied.
"I need to find ways to buy even more time…" Masachika thought to himself.
"Let's use this chance to get him to talk about senpai's family…"
Masachika then decides to confront him about Sarashina family massacre, trying to buy some time while making Chisaki turn to their side.
"Now, masked bastard…"
"Surely you know about Sarashina-senpai's family?"
"I've heard about how they died."
"Each of her family members has a giant hole in their torso, with their heart crushed, then left to rot."
"Now, obviously, someone punched them and crushed their hearts. But who could have done that?"
"Who would have the capability and motivation to do that?"
"The Oracle fleet doesn't attack without provocation, and even in the rare case of killing, they always use their weapon, never their bare fists."
"Besides members of the Oracle fleet, I don't know who else can do such a feat."
"Her family were neutral too, unwilling to take either the Oracle fleet's or A3's sides in the war."
"Perhaps they want to send a message." The masked man retorted.
"Then why didn't they broadcast it? I mean broadcasting is already enough. Why settle for this when they want to maintain their image?"
"They even gave us Cryopods to save us. And they still have to sign that treaty, so A3 would convince their supporters to use them!"
"And most importantly, why didn't A3 use the case of the Sarashina household as a genuine example of their brutality?"
"Even though the deadly pollution comes from the Skymolding project."
"I have never heard of this at all!" Chisaki thought to herself.
"If that is true… then we are only alive because they took mercy on us!?"
Chisaki then asks the masked man, "… Leader, please explain-"
"SILENCE!!" The masked man shouted at her.
"LISTEN TO ME AND RETURN TO ME IMMEDIATELY!!"
"THEY ARE USING RHETORIC AND LIES TO MESS WITH YOU!!"
"YOU AND MASHA ARE THE ONLY 2 CABINET MEMBERS I HAVE!"
"DON'T YOU WANT KENZAKI TOUYA TO BE REVIVED!?"
"DON'T YOU WANT YOUR BELOVED BOYFRIEND TO RETURN TO THIS WORLD!?"
"DON'T YOU LOOK UP TO ME!?"
"I DID NOT KILL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS!!"
"STOP DOUBTING AND QUESTIONING US!!"
Masachika holds Chisaki even tighter while replying to him, "Threatening senpai with Kenzaki-senpai's well-being? So you are using him as a hostage."
"You can't explain it all either."
"We all know very well how often A3 lies."
"But you cannot hide the truth forever."
"It's better to have questions you can't answer than answers you can't question."
"The fact you are trying to push this idea…"
"The fact you got angry and over defensive…"
"The fact that you are trying your best to keep only Sarashina-senpai's allegiance and safety…"
"… You are the killer, right?"
"You need her for some purpose, right?"
"And maybe… you feel guilty for killing her family?"
"Maybe you fell in love with her?"
"Does it pain you seeing me acting so close and chummy with her?" Masachika said to him while smiling deviously.
"What say you, masked bastard, lapdog of the A3?" Masachika said while pointing at the masked man.
The masked man looked down in silence, not answering any of Masachika's questions.
Chisaki now knows that the masked man is definitely the person behind her family's deaths.
"So it was him..." Chisaki thought to herself, with her vengeance now aimed at the masked man instead of the Oracle fleet.
"That robot lady we fought in New Fukuoka was speaking the truth…"
"I have been played like a damn fiddle…"
"But for Touya's sake, I must keep calm…"
"I can decide what to do with him after ensuring Touya's safety…"
Chisaki decides to bottle her feelings in her heart and talks softly towards the masked man.
"… Leader, you are Touya's best friend, right?"
"Please, tell us where he and Alya's other brain parts are."
"Maybe peace is possible if we talk it over."
The masked man responds to Chisaki by stomping the ground angrily, creating a tiny earthquake due to his immense strength.
"MY PATIENCE IS RUNNING THIN!"
"Return her to me, or I will break this sexbot of yours!" The masked man said, repeating his ultimatum.
Suddenly, as if on cue, Alya is back online and active again.
She immediately tries to break free by breaking his grip with both of her hands and stabbing him with her energy sword.
The masked man then looks toward Alya, still in his choke hold.
"Oh, you woke up. Don't worry, you will return alive if they give her back to me."
"Now let's see how much they treasure you, shall we?"
"Good timing, Alya!" Masachika thought to himself.
"Now it's time for you to break free!"
"Hey Yuki, remember that time about what Alya did to Nonoa?" He asked his sister, hoping she would get the signal.
"… Oh, I remember!" Yuki replied, getting his message.
Yuki then screams to the masked man, "Hey, masked man…"
"Alya is a cyborg, you know!"
"No shit, Sherlock!" The masked man replied.
"Well, to drive the point home, I think she should prove it to you." Yuki said with a devious grin on her face.
"Не вешай нос! (Keep your chin up!)" Masachika shouted.
Alya finally gets what they meant.
She pops her head off her body, escaping his choke hold.
"WHAT!?" The masked man yelled in shock and surprise.
She quickly jumps backward, while Sayaka blows him away with her windshots.
"Good job, Alya!" Masachika said as she returned to their side.
Alya nods and fixes her head back in place while saying, "I have returned, Masachika."
Then, she quickly chugs down a Trimate and aims her rifle at the masked man.
"That thing can heal even robots!?" Nonoa thought to herself.
"Payback time, ублюдок в маске. (masked bastard.)" Alya said to the masked man.
"… Amazing." Chisaki thought to herself about Masachika's abilities.
"He actually resolved the standstill and turned the tide in his favor!"
"So cool…"
"Wait, what am I doing!? I should stop fawning over someone else!"
Suddenly, a vehicle appears near them.
"Oh, it's the Landhawk!"
John arrives in the Landhawk aiming at the masked man with its mounted turrets.
"Kept you waiting, huh!?" John said through the speaker on board.
"You guys are late! Are the prisoners safe!?"
"Yeah, we dropped them somewhere else safe." John replied.
"Thank goodness…" Nonoa said to herself.
And then, a barrage of light shots rains down on the masked man.
"The hell was that!?"
A pale-skinned and well-endowed woman with green hair and red eyes falls down to their side, carrying enormous Photon reserve tanks and a large Photon cannon.
She then aims her large Photon cannon at the masked man shortly.
"Bonjour, Liberators."
"I'm Chelsea Enchante. Nice to meet you all!"
"Except you, Ms. Alisa." Chelsea said while looking at Alya. "It should be 'Nice to meet you again', non?"
"Yes, I can't remember entirely, though…" Alya responded.
"You are… the one we fought from that time in New Fukuoka!" Chisaki exclaimed upon seeing Chelsea.
"Sorry, I didn't remember you." Chelsea replied.
"… Of course, I was not making much difference anyway…" Chisaki said.
"Anyway, great job handling this situation, Liberators! Très bien!! (Very good!!)" Chelsea said.
"It's about time for you to die, Monsieur Mal masqué. (Mister Evil Mask.)" Chelsea stated sternly towards the masked man.
Masachika smiles about how close he is to victory now.
"With so many guns and blades pointing at that masked bastard, even if he has become stronger, there is no way he's going out of this." He thought to himself.
"Now, let's talk business, black mask fuck."
"Here is our ultimatum: Give us Alya's other brain parts and Kenzaki Touya back, or else… You can die here."
"We can dismantle A3 slowly to find them even if you don't comply."
"Now tell us!"
"You think I fear death?" The masked man replied as he started standing up.
"Maybe you will fear what I will do to Sarashina-senpai, then?" Masachika said while groping Chisaki's breasts, holding her tighter.
"Damn it… I know you are doing this to save Touya, but this is already too much for my heart, Kuze-kun!!!" Chisaki thought to herself, her vagina dripping wet with sticky clear fluid leaking down her thighs.
The masked man could only stare daggers at Masachika, staying silent while gripping his hands angrily.
"… So be it." Masachika said.
"Everyone, please approach him with caution and eliminate him."
"Go lethal, everyone. Anything less won't work. Don't hesitate, either." Alya added.
Alya, Yuki, Nonoa, and Ayano approach the masked man carefully, with Sayaka and Chelsea behind them, their weapons aimed at the masked man should he make a sudden movement.
John and Roberta inside the Landhawk are ready to shoot as well if the sensor catches anything suspicious.
Masachika stays behind and continues holding Chisaki up as a hostage while overseeing how everything goes carefully.
"Hmm…"
"MWAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" The masked man laughed loudly.
"Insolent mortals… Good work pushing me this far."
"But here's the part where I make a comeback and erase your very existence."
"You don't fuck with a god, scum." The masked man says as he starts walking menacingly towards Masachika while creating a dark energy blade from his palm.
Alya, Sayaka, Chelsea, and the Landhawk start shooting at the masked man with everything they have.
But none of their shots connected, as he easily dodged it all.
"The fuck is even happening!?" Yuki asked.
"Looks like that Mal masqué (Evil Mask) is finally revealing his true power!" Chelsea responded.
"Summoning SUV weapon… Blitz Burst…" Chelsea thought to herself, preparing for the worst-case scenario. "I never thought I had to use these…"
"… No. He should have gone like this long ago." He added.
"Then that means he somehow got even stronger now through unknown means?!" Yuki asked loudly.
"What the fuck is he then!?" Sayaka asked in desperation.
"I don't know! Just be careful!" Chelsea told everyone.
"Heh… Why don't you stick around and find out?" The masked man says, taunting everyone.
"But first… I will kill that man." The masked man declared while pointing his index finger at Masachika.
Alya quickly stands between him and Masachika.
"You all only have yourself to blame."
"You dug your own grave messing with me."
"And you… Ungrateful cabinet members…"
"I gave you everything and yet you betrayed me!!"
"I will kill you all shortly, including you, alien robot bitch!" The masked man said while pointing at Chelsea.
"But first thing first…"
"You are coming back wtih me, Chisaki!"
The masked man snaps his fingers, and suddenly, there are explosions across the entire New Yoshiwara.
"YOU FUCKING MONSTER!!" Alya screamed at the masked man.
"The fuck did he just do!?" Nonoa asked her.
"He… exploded all the Nonoa clones in New Yoshiwara…" Alya answered.
"WHY!? HE'S FIGHTING US NOW!! WHAT WOULD THAT ACCOMPLISH!?" Masachika asked loudly in shock.
The masked man then dashes forward at ludicrous speed at Chisaki.
"WHAT WAS THAT!? I COULDN'T REACT OR FOLLOW TO HIS MOVEMENT AT ALL!!" Ayano thought to herself, her eyes widened while sweating profusely.
Chelsea's requested weaponries arrived. They are a pair of even bigger Photon cannons than what she was carrying.
But before she can even fire, The masked man has already run past her.
By reflex, Masachika spins around and hugs Chisaki tightly, trying to protect her from the approaching masked man.
Yuki turns her gaze, her eyes following the masked man's path…
And then her eyes widened upon seeing what had happened to her brother.
The masked man had punched through Masachika's chest and crushed his heart.
"Die, Masachika." The masked man said to him as he pulled his hand out of his chest.
"No… No… Big bro…" Yuki said to herself in terror.
Ayano turned her gaze as well, seeing her beloved master fatally injured.
"… Masachika-sama? Why?" Ayano said to herself in terror, shivering as reality drives her dream to the ground again.
Nonoa turned her gaze back to see him, then swiftly looked down in regret.
She blames herself in her mind, "Not another one I love…"
Sayaka follows suit, screaming "MASACHIKA!! HANG IN THERE!!"
Chisaki stays silent, shocked by his sudden death in front of her.
His blood stained the curtains covering her body and her face.
She can only hold his motionless and lifeless body in her arms.
"YOU BASTARD!!!" Alya screamed while shooting at the masked man.
The masked man dodged it and quickly grabbed Chisaki's hand.
However, Chelsea shot him with her cannons, blowing him away from everyone.
"Get away from here!"
"I will hold him off! Just go!!" Chelsea shouted while jumping away, pursuing the masked man.
Yuki, Ayano, Nonoa, Sayaka, and Alya quickly rushed to his side.
John and Roberta quickly exits the vehicle to check on him.
Chisaki quickly turns him around for everyone, hoping that anyone of them could help him escape his condition.
Masachika can only perceive everyone around him, unable to move any part of his body.
His life starts flashing before his eyes, unable to say anything to them.
He can only think to himself.
"Everyone…"
"… This is the end, huh?"
"So this is death."
"… It feels cold and horrible."
"I don't want to part with anyone yet… I don't want to be separated from them…"
"I want to see Alya's brain restored…"
"I want to see A3 fall…"
"I want to see Japan restored…"
"I want to see my children grow up and get married first…"
"Maybe see my grandchildren…"
"I want to get the promised rewards…"
"Sorry…"
"I leave the rest to you guys…"
"Thank you…"
"I'm glad I met you all… and fell in love with you all…"
"And God, if you are there… Please give them my remaining luck and blessings."
"They need it more than me…"
"Hah…"
"It's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay…!" Yuki derangedly repeated herself for everyone to hear.
"Alya suffered worse… and she is still able to live!"
"We can save him!!"
Alya quickly grabs every recovery item they have: Trimate, Sol Atomizer, Moon Atomizer, etc.
Chisaki also gives up the Cosmos Atomizer to help revive him.
His wounds started to heal, and his bleeding stopped.
However, he is still not moving or responding.
"WHY ISN'T IT WORKING!?" Alya screamed. "HIS BODY IS FULLY RESTORED!! WHY IS THERE NO LIFE SIGNS FROM HIM!?"
"DOCTOR ROBERTA PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!" Ayano shouted loudly, begging her to save him.
"I don't know! He should be revived with that alien technology!!" Roberta replied. "I have never seen anything like this!"
Yuki grabs his shoulder and starts shaking his body desperately.
"COME ON BIG BRO!! THINK OF OUR CHILDREN!!" Yuki screamed while sobbing loudly.
Tears flowed down everyone's cheeks, realizing that it might already be too late.
"DON'T ABANDON ME!!! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE AGAIN!!"
Alya kisses Masachika, trying to get him back to life even if it's a superstition.
"Don't leave me, Masachika... I love you too much to let you go..."
"I will do anything if you wake up now, please..."
"I... I will do cosplay sex with you! I know you really liked that character Tsukuyomi from that game!"
"I'll even help you get more women if that is what you want!"
"Please... Wake up..."
Sayaka says, "Wake up! You can't die here so pathetically..."
"... I won't allow it! Not after you knocked me up!!"
"Wake up or I will never forgive you!!"
"WAKE UP I SAY!!!"
Nonoa, for the first time in her life, felt a deep grief in her heart.
She stayed silent because she felt guilty for asking him to come to New Yoshiwara.
Her tears are genuine. She really wishes she can come back lacking empathy if this is what she could feel.
Chisaki can only stares at his corpse in utter disbelief and silence with her teary eyes.
"One moment, you were here, and now you aren't...."
"You can't just leave us like this, you bastard..."
"I..."
Suddenly, Aida took over Alya's body and boldly stated what they didn't want to hear the most.
"Host is unstable. Taking over..."
"Masachika Kuze, Member of the Liberators."
"No life signs detected. Target deceased."
"Designated status: Killed in Action."
