Kiana: Wendy... She got away

Akiri: Damn...

Akiri had a frustrated look on his face as he then looks at Bronya, who is now silently gazing at the ground below.

Akiri: Bronya, why didn't you take the
shot?

The team had regrouped around Bronya, all of their attention are now on her after seeing what had happened earlier.

Bronya: The Bronya... Does not believe that Wendy will hurt anyone

Akiri: But still... She has the potential to become a Herrscher. If she hasn't become one already...

Bronya: But-

Kiana: I hate to say this, but I agree with Bronya

Kiana spoke out.

Kiana: Back in Nagazora, Mei-senpai was also controlled by the Honkai, but she managed to resist it!

Mei: Kiana-chan is right. We can still save Wendy

The three girls all looked at Akiri in anticipation as the boy lowered his gaze, seemingly deep in his thoughts. After a moment, he lifts his head to look back at the girls.

Akiri: Okay. We'll try to save her

Kiana pumps her first in celebration while Mei only smiled, even Bronya had a small smile on her face for a split second.

Akiri: But... If it comes down to it, if I had to choose between her, and you three... I won't hesitate to do whatever it takes to save you girls

The three of them looked at him, somewhat caught off guard at what he said. Kiana specifically had a deep blush on her face, which she immediately hid by looking away.

Kiana: I-Idiot! Who says we need saving?

A call then suddenly came in and they saw that it was from Himeko and Bronya answered as she projects a screen in front of them.

Himeko: Squad V, status report

Akiri: Wendy got away. We don't know where she's headed

Himeko: You failed to contain her? What happened down there?

Akiri paused and looked at Bronya for a moment before looking back at Himeko and answering.

Akiri: I slipped up. I take full responsibility

He said firmly, looking straight at the Major and she lets out a sigh.

Himeko: Here's the situation. The Hyperion's sensors had picked up a massive amount of Honkai energy coming from Wendy earlier. HQ has already tagged her as the 4th Herrscher and is dispatching an S-rank Valkyrie to deal with her

Mei: An S-rank Valkyrie...?

Kiana: I would've loved to meet them, but now is definitely not the time...

The girls muttered. They've already seen what A-rank Valkyries like Fu Hua and Himeko are capable of. They could only imagine how much stronger an S-rank could be.

Himeko: Squad V is ordered to withdraw and remain on standby on the Hyperion. The situation has gotten too big for us to handle

Bronya: Major, we have a proposition

Himeko: What is it?

Akiri: Major. Permission for us to confront Wendy one more time

Bronya: We believe we can still save her

Kiana: Yeah! If we can reach her, we definitely can help her!

Mei: I want to help as well

Himeko: I don't know guys... It's risky. Her powers are sure to grow stronger over time
