"No. You should not apologize, Madam Admiral, for Xavierheld had poured its strength aiming for the best, so as the EAF."

Napatingala kami saaming narinig. I never knew that the EAF could also be understanding like this. Or, is it merely, just a sympathizing cover for their plans?

Hindi ko paring maiwasan na mag isip ng kung ano ano laban sakanila. They had once traded their words for power, bagay na nagbukas ng pintuan ng kaguluhan.

But for the perseverance of the Union Treaty, this time, I will trust their words.

"The Xavierheld and the EAF Royal Forces did cover all the possible loop holes. Joint maximum security was established, Tactical coordination regarding safety were defined and executed, but still--."

Napabuntong hininga ang nasabing opisyal as the then pressed a button on his podium.

Mabilis na lumitaw ang isang human-sized magenta hologram saaming harapan. It displays multiple image shots of the said mysterious white unit as it floats on mid-air through the chaotic Ground Zero.

"..One group had made it pass the joint maximum security levels." He seriously stated. Napatindig siya ng kanyang tayo as he stares through the hologram.

"Regalia Blanca." He straightforwardly said. "The mysterious group, who had sabotaged the coronation of the next heir. The unknown group that proved it's competence against the EAF, as well as the Xavierheld. The group whom worthy of our full attention."

Naramdaman ko ang kusang pagkunot ng aking noo upon hearing the official's statement.

"The said group was consisted of few people, estimating less than a hundred, but still had bypassed the security zones. We had confirmed that among those few people were members of the EAF's own royal security squad. "

Natigilan kami saaming narinig. Galing sakanila mismo ang iilan sa mga sangkot? But how? Is it an inside job?

"How about those members? We can extract information from them." I suggested, but it seems na napapikit lamang ang nasabing opisyal.

"That would be a great idea, Madam Admiral, but I'm afraid, we can't do that any longer. All of the members alleged, had done a massive suicide bombing on Ground Zero, leaving no verbal traces nor evidence for the said group." He explained.

Kaya pala. They chose death over information leakage. What had convinced them to sacrifice their lives to cover up an extraordinary influential group?

Isa lang ang ibig ipahiwatig ng grupong iyon.

Hindi sila dapat maliitin.

He then pressed his serious eyes on the mysterious white robot unit floating through the hologram.

"Information from the said mysterious white robot unit had only contained barely limited visual evidences. The said unit was not registered under EAF as well as on Xavierheld Military, and still unidentified, its name, nor its origin, but the mechanical analysis shows that the said unit was a refined model of a Steel Paladin and a Mechanical Knight Combined, but still, not enough information and facts were gathered."

"What makes it most special, is that, its crystalloid wings, resembled like an archangel's make it travel faster than an ordinary unit. Its slender mechanical body gives the pilot ease of controlling its weight." He stated.

Kahit hindi pa ganoon ka kumpleto ang iilang mga information patungkol sa nasabing unit ay hindi ko maiwasang mamangha. How come na nakagawa ng isang ganyan kagaling na unit ang iilang mga rebeldeng grupo?

"Its full potential still remains a great mystery up to this day. The EAF are currently conducting studies regarding the said matter and had given it the name of 'Archangel Unit'." He confidently informed us as he stares through the hologram.
