Alexandra used to be a classmate of Maria & Lubo, but also a close friend. It was december and it was the patrol exams of the USA for the third years, perfect time to wreak havoc and do chaos with villains and criminals to give them a hell of a time.
Of course Alexandra hanged out New York in a cafe with UltraX, seems like it could be a blind date or just some kind of meeting between a hero and a hero.
Of course Alexandra felt relaxed and comfortable with Ultra, but of course matters did get serious.
Alexandra: So the time manipulation villain, heard new evidence was discovered...
UltraX: Yeah, the police in Plovdiv uncovered some documents about her name being Amelia, but they found out that there are 5 matching people in Bulgaria with such name and they wanted me to look into it later today.
Alexandra: I see.
Alexandra drinks her coffee...
UltraX: Me and my family been trying as hard as the others to solve that mystery for 2 years now... Glad we got closer to it...
Alexandra: "Glad", what do you mean?
UltraX pulls out a photo of a girl... A girl that looked similar to Lubo and Alexandra was surprised.
Alexandra: Wait a second, only Lubo has that photo, how did you-?!
UltraX smiles.
UltraX: I have my connections ya know, I just happened to be at the same school, around the same time as him and found his body...
Alexandra: N-No- ...
Alexandra was in loss of words as she looked at the photo and then back at X.
Alexandra: N-No way- ...
UltraX smiles.
UltraX: Come on, get serious. I gotta continue with the mystery. After all I know it may hurt to know that he is "dead" and all, but we came here for a reason.
Alexandra shreds a bit of tears.
Alexandra: I know, but... Did Maria knew?
UltraX: Of course she did, Viki figured it out too that whole theory of "Lubo."
Alexandra: Damn it, knew it was too soon to leave us. A-Anyways...
Alexandra pulls out a tissue and cleans her tears with it and proceeds to allow UltraX to continue.
UltraX: So I was told that this girl looked familiar, me and my mother tried to find information since she looks a lot like her and any other family member... Until one day, the police came to tell us about the time manipulation villain.
Alexandra: So that is how ya knew about the 5 suspects...
UltraX: Yeah and that gets weirder, all of the files are from a time before the vidin incident they said.
Alexandra: So, when ya going there?
UltraX: Tomorrow. Just in time since due to the kids at school being gone for third year patrol exams, I can focus on the mystery more and so on.
As they continued their conversation, a black bird was listening in closely with the eye pattern of an Uchinoia's eye pattern...
The next morning, in Plovdiv. (Bulgaria) At a police station, UltraX just arrived and goes to the room told to by the police on the phone... Quickly finding his way to there and gets to the right door, gently opening the door he found himself in the room with officer, Elena Andrapilova...
Elena A.: Mr. Ivanov, the documents are on the table as requested.
UltraX: Thanks, ma'am.
Just as it sounded and as it looked, the 5 folders of the suspects were found on the table, X goes and sits on the chair... He grabbed the first folder and opened it...
=

Age: 50
Information: A single woman which lives alone and has no children.
Job: Janitor at the school Lubo went to...
Manifestation: Electricity
==========================================================================
Elena A.: So?
UltraX: I swear, Electricity is such a common manifestation, this woman is too old as well.
Elena A.: Well, onto the next document.
UltraX closes the first one and puts it away and grabs the second one and than proceeds to open it...
==========================================================================

Age: 28

Job: Gasprom Cashier (at Vidin)
Manifestation: Unknown (Suspected to be a time manifestation)
==========================================================================
Elena A.: Guessing this one ain't the one as well, sir?
UltraX: A Russian puppet, nothing more.
Elena A.: Well luckily, she was locked up in prison 2 years after that.
UltraX sighs and puts away the second folder and grabs the third one, opening it in the process.
==========================================================================
Name: Elena Alexova
Possible Real Name: Amelia
Age: 14
Information: 3 grades higher than Lubo in the same school, known to be spotted at the exits just moments before the incident.
Manifestation: Unknown (Suspected to be a time manifestation)
==========================================================================
Elena A.: Well?
UltraX: I think this girl "Elena" has a profile, can I get a bit of background on her?
Elena A.: Wish I knew as much, you should ask Uchinoia, sir.
That came a bit surprising she is mentioning that last name of another girl with the same name as her, but Ultra understood and got up.
UltraX: Well then, have a good day.
Elena A.: Have a great day, Mr. Ivanov.
After that Ultra left the room and got out of the station only to see Elena Uchinoia infront of him.
Elena: Hello, X...
UltraX: Elena.
UltraX just stood there looking her in the eyes.
UltraX: What brings you here?
Elena: Oh nothing, just on European tour with my parents and just noticed you here.
UltraX: Oh well, guess you are making my job easier.
Elena: What do you mean?
UltraX: Well, do you have an idea on who Elena Alexova is?
Elena wasn't expecting her history quiz so early and she quickly reacted.
Elena: She is a Bulgarian with incredible management skills and lives in Cario, Egypt. Not only that, but she also is manager of an oil & gas company known as GO!EGYPT, she is 22 year old manger, youngest manager in Egypt known to date.
UltraX: Huh, that was valuable information, anything else?
Elena: Oh and that her manifestation...
Elena continued explaining further about this "Elena Alexova" while drinking her boba tea.
UltraX: And... Where can I find this woman exactly, Elena?
Elena: Well, no idea to be blunt... You have to do your own research on her in order to find exact location. Take your time, she could be the suspect for all you know.
After that, both of them chatted for a bit longer and soon they left on their own way.
3 days later in New York, Vladislav was investigating an abandoned club due to rumours saying that it could be a villain hideout... Vlad just arrived at the place, prepared with some gear for investigation and entered in. He looked around, turning every stone to find if there is anything... As it seems, he has found a letter by someone under the name of "Alfrad Jones" and the letter looked fresh...
Vlad grabbed the letter and started to read.
[ "Dear Elaina Vans or Vladislav Nikolov... Welcome home." ]
Vlad then quickly dodges a knife leaving the paper to get hit and pinned to the wall.
???: So Alfrad told me about you. You are also messing with the work of the order...
Vlad: O-Order...?
Vlad was confused, what order was the voice of a woman refering to. He turned around to see no one was there...
???: Not gonna lie, I'm impressed by you... Especially how you managed to get in the United States and possibly leave your old life behind, like it was meaningless...
Vlad: My old... No I don't like thinking about it, whoever you are.... Show yourself!
Vlad uses his manifestation to make an energy blade for his right hand and prepares. As soon as he did, a bunch of knifes suddenly appeared flying at him, he dodges most and counters some with his blade, but one manages to slash him on his left shoulder and another one giving a small cut on Vlad's right hand.
???: Impressive, that program... Sure did wonders, along with the Vans training method for you...
The voice of the woman was certainly much younger, possibly in her 20s or 30s...
???: Oh well, guess I get to play with someone's best friend.
More knives appear all around Vlad almost as if a second has not passed and all flew at him, he ran quickly and pulled a table over using it as cover and managed to get all knifes stuck on it. Vlad quickly turned and used his energy blade on the next wave of knives blocking them or reflecting them away as quick as possible, but some still hit and without a second passing, he was pinned against a pillar. (Even though the patrol exams were happening, this was not a normal one since him and Cassandra took two different missions today.)
???: Oh my, you seem stuck~
The woman laughed...
Vlad: Ugh...
Vlad tries as quick as possible to pull the knives out of the pinned spots, but he stops as he sees a woman in front of him...
???: A second too late, Vladislav.
Vlad: Damn, is your manifestation knife summoning or some kind of time manipulation... Or you just use the knives and have so many of them for murderous intends?!
???: Oh I just happen to have so much, useless knives to be honest with you...
Vlad: Useless?
The woman pulled out a knife.
???: If I did not catch you now, then I would've ran out of knives to use.
The woman sighs in relief.
Vlad: Yare yare... (My day just got ruined.)
Of course within a couple of seconds, Vlad was tied up against the pillar with some special rope.
???: Now...
The woman pulled out something and used it to take a blood sample off Vlad, she then put it away.
???: This will be useful for the order... And as of your dead best friend, tell them hello from me.
The woman casually turned and walked away with the blood sample, few minutes later the rope suddenly cut itself and Vlad was free. Vlad sat to the ground against the pillar wondering what that rope was and why was it making his manifestation feel so weak....
Vlad then noticed a bit of the woman's hair on the ground and took it immediately, putting it away for later and left the place.
An hour later, Cassandra and Vlad meet up and Vlad starts to discuss and explain how his mission went and a woman with some strange ability... Leading to Cassandra to wonder who she was... Vlad pulled out a part of the hair that fell off and told Cassandra to ask the DNA research team to find matching data and relatives to this woman...
Cassandra: Wait, Wait... Why?
Vlad: We need that information to investigate further alright...
Cassandra: O-Ok...
Cassandra seemed a bit worried, she took the part of the hair that Vlad found and told Vlad to go buy himself some lunch and she then flew away...
Meanwhile at Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The Ivanov place at the underground facility, Mina and UltraX Continued to train as usual in preparing Mina for the fight with her sister, due to it being delayed for some reasons that gave Mina more time to train. She attempts to kick Ultra, but he catches her leg and spins around while holding her and throws her away, she hits the wall hard.
UltraX: Alright, that is enough for today.
Mina: Ow..
Mina slowly gets up.
Mina: You know, that was unexpected for you to throw me like that one guy from the anime you started watching recently...
UltraX: Haha... I know, I also played that game called DBL, great game and very amazing move sets.
Mina: Oh my, you will become addicted to that anime ya recently started watching all over cause of its game.
They proceeded to exit the lowest area of the Ivanov mansion and get back up, after that they headed to the kitchen... Just about time for lunch, the table was set and both of X's parents were sitting, of course Mina and Ultra sit down on the table.
Mina: So, anything unusual towards the mystery you been dealing?
Willow looked at Mina.
Willow: Well besides learning that the main suspect we tackling has high rank on a Egyptian company and her name is Elena Alexova, still-
Luke: Oh yeah, stop it there. I actually got a message from New York HQ the other day, telling me to head to Plovdiv HQ and once I arrived there...
Luke takes a sip of his cup.
Luke: Well, to no one's surprise... Tatsumaki has informed me of a strange anomaly who attacked Vladislav "Vans" in an abandoned club.
Mina: How does that relate to the case exactly?
Luke: Well, the attacker was a woman and she had a bit of her hair left behind so... Once they scanned the hair, it turns out to be Elena Alexova's hair.
After hearing that, Willow, Mina and UltraX were surprised by that.
Luke: However, we cannot really know if she was still in New York...
UltraX: Yeah true, especially since she could've already left... I mean she was there for few days after the news report to meet the current president of the United States to discuss an oil deal.
Willow: So... We know she is an high ranking, possibly the owner currently of an oil & gas company in Egypt, her name is Elena Alexova, possible real name is Amelia and she went to the United States to meet with the president cause of an oil deal and in the meantime during her stay, she went to the abandoned club and waited for a possible hero which leads to be Vlad and attacked him with unknown motives. What else is there to add?
Luke: Well, she was a fast fighter almost not even a second, she manages to pin Vlad with knifes and than ties him up with a rope that sucks his manifestatioal energy and makes his manifestation 90% weaker.
Mina: Fast fighter.... These are rare kind unless they have super speed or excellent training program.
A fast fighter, a owner of Egyptian oil and gas company and major suspect.
Mina: Some are naturally gifted, some are not... However, we need to confront that woman and get her to speak... After all she could be a devil host herself or a fiend...
UltraX: Well, it is all possible... However, let us try and solve and find her full identity first, than after that we can try to confront her and get our answers.
