1) [ During a lull in the battles, Shion can be found sitting on a bench in the Foundry District with a large, blocky weapon fastened to her arm. Apparently there is a lot on her mind, given the quiet muttering she was making. Occasionally she looks up and around, as if looking for someone while she does a little maintenance on the M.W.S. Care to interrupt the space case? ]

2) [ Shion's wanderings have found her in the Wards district, though she looked rather dismayed and concerned by what she saw. It was more than a little bit of culture shock - her own world was so much more advanced, even in the poorer areas. It was a little difficult to move around through the area, but she managed it - somehow. It's only a matter of time before she bumps into or trips over someone though. Maybe even literally. ]

3) [ Shion was not used to fighting on her own - though she was not a weakling by any means. Yet at the same time, she was prone to distraction, and when she fought, she had always had KOS-MOS with her. Had she made the right decision, coming to this place after handing KOS-MOS over on Second Miltia? Had sh- oh WHOOPS, not paying attention in battle costs Shion, as an attack knocks her back and onto her duff. ]

OW~!

[ Help? ]

[Shion! Scans detected her in the battlefield and that there had been an injury. Even after all her upgrades and being rebuilt, she was still tied to Shion and always knew her condition.

F-SCYTHE in hand, she cut through enemies in her way until she could see the woman who had helped built her. The Scythe vanished and she quickly changed her arm into a blade and stabbed it through the chest of the soldier that had attacked her.]

Shion. Are you able to stand or shall I hold off the enemy units while you retreat?

[ And KOS-MOS had the most amazing timing ever. The soldier that had knocked her back had taken advantage of her lapse, ready to strike another blow. Shion braced herself, the M.W.S held defensively -- but the blow never comes. Tentatively she looked up -- ! ]

KOS-MOS!

[ SO many feelings. Confusion battled it out with relief with joy waiting in the sidelines until she realized the android said something. She shook her head out of the daze of confusion. How was she here? And her frame was completely different - ]

I can stand... [ To prove it, she got to her feet, brushing herself off. ]

I don't know how you got here, KOS-MOS, but I'm not going to retreat and just leave you here. [ Not while it was still dangerous. Not even when it wasn't, actually. ]

[That's a really old MWS model, KOS-MOS thought she had given it to Miyuki. There would be time for that later though as KOS-MOS attacks another oncoming enemy.]

If you are going to remain here, please allow me to join you in the fight.

[Not that she's giving Shion much choice. One of her highest priorities was still, and always had been, to protect Shion.]

I am certain that the enemy units will not be capable of holding out for much longer.

Right.

[ Shion nods, not even considering the possibility of refusing that stubborn girl. Nevermind she didn't want to anyway. In a way, it was like old times. But at the same time, there were discrepancies. KOS-MOS' new frame... no, later. She turned her attention to a soldier rushing forward, and treats him to a little chin music with a high kick. While he's reeling, stunned, she unloads a concentrated ether beam at point blank range, dealing with her own miscreant. ]

I am glad you're here, KOS-MOS. [ And after a short battle, she phews. ]

They're on the run!

I am glad that you are as well, Shion.

[She used her Transfer System then, the pair of triple-barrel gatling guns appearing in her hands just before Shion points out the enemy retreat. All the same, her weapons remain in hand until she's certain there's no remaining threat.]

[ Shion watches the soldiers retreating, and raises a hand. ]

It's okay KOS-MOS, stand down. [ Even though some part of her knows KOS-MOS will remain in battle mode until they were all gone. ]

I think it's best that we keep moving. I don't want to be here if they're going to reinforcements. Are you registering any enemies on your scanners right now?

[It takes another minute as KOS-MOS scans the area. Thoroughly. Once she's satisfied that there aren't any more enemies nearby to attempt to surprise them, her weapons vanish. Even if someone were to try something how, she can still change her arm into a blade or a cannon.]

The area is now clear of all enemy units. It is safe for us to move on.

[ Shion breathes a sigh of relief at confirmation. Safe. Good. She focuses her attention on KOS-MOS. ]

Well! Then we should get back -- [ Oh right, back to /where/? She had an apartment of course, but she didn't want to go back yet. ]

KOS-MOS, when did you get here? And how did you get here? [ Well she didn't mean about the Valkyrie but her superiors in Second Miltia - surely they wouldn't normally just let KOS-MOS walk off on her own -! ]

[KOS-MOS turns towards the direction of Midgard, motioning for Shion to go before her or, at least, alongside her.]

I arrived not long ago. The Valkyrie brought us. [By 'us' she means Mary and herself but Shion doesn't know about Mary yet, does she?]

Because I was built to protect the universe, this was an acceptable alternative in protecting it.

[Like they stopped her when Shion stole Dinah and she had to rescue her.]

Us?

[ No, she certainly doesn't! S-so clueless is our little engineer. Actually she considers this statement, and perhaps the 'us' referred to the two of them on two separate times. Right. ]

I... suppose that ... makes sense. [ Let none stand between the creator and the android! But ... there are still things that don't make sense. Nonetheless, she starts walking, pensive. ]

Tell me, what do you make of this place, KOS-MOS?

[She doesn't want to confuse Shion more than she has to. KOS-MOS prepared a description of the area quickly before replying.]

This city is much more primitive than it seems, using weaponry similar to that of what Gaignun Kukai Junior uses. The decreased amount of soldiers or warriors available have forced the gods of this world to seek outside assistance in exchange for keeping our own universe safe in one way or another.

[ Yes, that confusion will come by the truckload soon enough. ]

Have you seen anyone else from our world yet? If we've been asked to come here, I'm sure the others...

[A huge truckload...]

I have seen Junior, Allen and Wilhelm so far.

Okay ... I haven't come across them yet, but it's a big city. [ Hilariously she will completely forget this information when she runs into Allen again. Oh Shion. ]

Jr. is probably on the battlefield as well.

I have been creating a map of my own, of the city. I can provide you with one once I can have it written on paper.

He is, yes. And appears to be enjoying the fighting.

Thank you, KOS-MOS, I'd appreciate it. [ That will give her time to devote to other things. ]

[ And a laugh at the latter. ]

I don't know if it's the fighting that he enjoys - but being able to take an active hand in protecting our world.

There is no need to thank me, Shion. I am glad to be of assistance.

I do not doubt that.
