(A/n: I will be rewriting this whole fanfic as I put the wrong timelines before doing the Herrscher of WIll continuation)

19 hours after Kiana's capture

I was in a dark place, inside of a castle. Night lights were the one that luminate the palace

???: Boy

A beast in a form of a giant dragon form called my name. He was chained to his flesh that were attached to floors, walls and the ceiling. It's flesh luminate as he wakes up

Kevin: Ares

I called its name

0 hours after Kiana's Capture

4 days ago

Still laying on the one of the clinic, as sleep. Su was calling the current members of the flame chasers and there's a new good news as well, some one is joining us. I don't know who as I kept my eyes closed and be focused on my dream space. Elysia as well brought a new flame chaser that is her friend too

Eden is now on a 5 month hiatus break from her carrier so she can do whatever she want as long as she won't reveal her face to the public. Su welcome the 3 flame chasers in in the academy and showed them to me and brought them to the clinic. Hua on the other hand took a peek on us, 5, Reminiscing the past. She smiled a bit before leaving.

Su: You must be Aponia

Aponia: Yes

Elysia: She's so pretty isn't she?

Su: Elysia...

Eden: It is no time for that Ellie

Elysia: Oh yeah... I think Aponia can help Kevin

Su: A psychic can only treat his coma and I believe that Aponia has much better knowledge on psychic than I am. You can do it now, Aponia

Aponia: Excuse me

Aponia approach my body and touch my forehead, she then blushed as she stopped

Elysia: Aponia?

Ahh... Still remember that. Why does End like it. It really is disgusting and does size even matter?! Cause she said the bigger it is the more she'll ge- Okay okay I'll continue, jeez

Eden: Is something wrong?

Su: Yeah... something is wrong

Aponia: Nothing is wrong, Allow me to heal him

She touched my chest as her hands glow. She closed her eyes.

21 seconds later, She stopped it then she open her eyes

Aponia: He will be awaking in 4 days

Su: Wow... you're powerful

Aponia: I don't think I am... Su

Su: Even knows my name, impressive. But between us worshiping honkai is really bad but we don't mind that. You are welcome to us and I'm sure that Sakura and others will come here soon to check on him

Su said as he look at Aponia. Aponia held her chest... one of the people that doesn't hate him... that's new

Elysia: Su is right, Aponia

Eden: We will accept you... But even though I hate honkai for my own reasoning, We will accept you as a person

Aponia was in euphoria. People that actually likes her. They were genuine... but yet... she will still follow her prophecy. No matter what, for the honkai's will
_______________________________

4 days later

I gently wake up and Elysia hug me, I gently pushed her off. I look down as I felt disappointed

Elysia: What's the matter, Kevin?

I detached the IV needle and etc then left the room

Su: Kevin!

I stopped for a minute

Kevin: I need my battlesuit... you heard what Theresa said... we are raiding Schicksal HQ... 

I said without emotions. I left without hesitating

Elysia: What happen to him?

Elysia said in a concerned tone

Eden: He change

Aponia: It's an inevitable prophecy of his... he will follow it for how long I do not know

Su: ... I...

Su couldn't process... he suppose to protect me in order to avoid this to happen... yet unfortunately it did happen. 
_________________________

I'm now at hall of our dorm, I took and open it as I arrived at front door. Mei went back to the living room and see who was it. Must be Himeko or Theresa however. She was shock that it was me, yet... I could only glare back at her as she stares

Few seconds later, I left her alone and went back to prepare my battlesuit. While taking them, my mind was filled with trauma... even though jizo feeds me trauma for strength, real trauma is the thing I can't escape specially the thing I can't truly stand... losing another one will be my limit, if I lose someone who I care, I'll go crazy or worse I may not control myself

Then those thoughts reset and shifted to nothing as I heard a knock

Mei: Kevin... Kevin...

I've only put the whole body but without the coat, I opened the door and look at Mei. Though it reminds me of Dr MEI due to KEVIN's memory that he send and whatever the Key of Destruction trying to influence me

Mei then hug me

Mei: *sniff*...Kiana-chan... Kiana-chan is now gone...

Kevin: I know

I hug her back as I replied back to her, rage on grew as I hate seeing Mei sad

Mei then let go of me

Mei: Your cold... what happen?

Kevin: It's nothing... just my ICHOR genes been acting strange lately

I said as I look away from her. Truthfully it's also an influence of my own "real" Stigmata. I don't want to see her my glare

Mei: Why are you not facing me?

Kevin: I... I don't want you to see my face. I'm not flustered just things that recently happen angers me

I said as I turned back, She then went in front of me and saw the my glare. It was just sadness that resides. no joy or anything... just sadness

Mei: I understand... but you need to tell me your burden

I went and took my coat then left her behind

Kevin: Soon, Mei... Soon... or preferably never. Fate do us part since the previous era. You and Kiana are fated together and not me and you

Mei held her chest as tear fell off her chin

Hyperion

Theresa: Kevin! Where were you!

Kevin: I just prepared

Theresa: Okay good... we're taking Helios... as long you're with us, we will take Kiana

I nodded

Theresa pat me in the back before leaving

Theresa: As her aunt... and your actual aunt...

I look at her in shock... Was she really?

Theresa: I will guarantee her safety

Theresa left then Su talk to her for a while before she leave. Su was with the whole Flame Chasers

Su: There you are

Sakura: Kevin...

Kevin: Everyone...

I said before facing them. I sigh

Kevin: Let's discuss this, as our first mission as a team

Elysia was smiling, Sakura and Eden was filled with hope, And Su and Aponia were looking forward
_________________________

Himeko: Your using the meeting room?

Kevin: I have to discuss something with my friends

Himeko: I see... Be sure that everyone on your team will be safe okay?

Kevin: Yeah...

Himeko: Good. Take the card from the receptionist before getting in

Kevin: Mn

Major hang up
_____________________________

Meeting room

Kevin: Flamechasers listen up, we're dealing with the 2nd herrscher and we are only the plan B for principal's plan. If 5th eruption break out in I will be in front line of course with Elysia as she is quite the fighter, do you agree with me, Elysia?

Elysia: Loud and Clear, Kevin

Kevin: Great. Su usually serve as a medic and not a fighter even when he is powerful than I could be... or I passed that. Su will be a medic, Eden will be a support and Sakura will stick to Principal's orders then Aponia...

Aponia: Yes?

Kevin: I would like to ask, do you accept violence against honkai?... or I will form the cocoon so I won't be alone on my job

Aponia: I can be either

Kevin: Great, you will accompany us, while Eden will get a sniper and take everything that is inconvenient that is in our way. Aponia can be a healer and a Dealer support of the team, Elysia can impair greatly on enemy... I guess it's all perfect. Not much of a strategist but as long as it works we will go through

Su: Maybe I should learn about strategy

Kevin: Good. We are dismissed for today, do whatever you want. Approach me or Su when you need something or perhaps the most reliable one, Elysia

Elysia: Yes!

Everyone then stood up and went their ways while Ellie stick with me

Kevin: What is it, Elysia?

Elysia: Nothing.... just wanna ask how are you?

Kevin: Not doing fine so can you stop?

Elysia: Nope

Kevin: *sigh* Typical Elysia
________________________________

Bronya's room/hyperion

Currently at Bronya, I tried to increase my body temperature as possible and held her hand. I apologized to her while she was in her coma state; Both that I didn't gave her a chance to have a date with her and letting Kiana take to the Schicksal's hands. I blamed everything from myself deep within my hearts. Grudges and regret filled my mind that day

Kevin: I swear... I will get our friend back, Bronya. I will do anything for everyone's happiness

Mei: Kevin...

I opened my eyes then released her hands as I turned to Mei, glaring

Kevin: Raiden Mei

Mei: What... are we going to do now?

Kevin: Worry not, we'll get her sooner or later

Mei: But how? The HQ is a dangerous place. What if they do something to Kiana?

Kevin: They will pay... And as much as I hate to say it... They will pay with blood

Mei: No... you shouldn't do that

Kevin: Since I was kid, I've learned that the world is a gray place and no longer colorful after my father and mother died. Painting the world red was the only thing I thought to cure this utter of a world. I'm sorry if you will see me kill another human in some point

Mei: ...

Mei then look down

Kevin: If dying is a solution to save the world... would you choose it?

Mei: I... I don't know... but if it's for everyone... then I would!

Kevin: So what I'm going to do. A herrscher that manipulates void; can tear me to shreds... But do you think I'm scared? No... You and I both share the same fear. Loosing those whom we loved. But if joining the dark side is a sin to protect whom we protect, then for me I will be grateful that I am a sinner

Mei: Then... I want to be sinner instead of your risking to be one

Kevin: Is that so?

Mei: Kiana has done many things for me and I fully put my life for her and-

Kevin: And yet here you are... prioritizing a monster who has not done something for you... Mei... Tell me... Why am I important for you?

Mei: ...

Kevin: Raiden Mei, I have killed many people in the past, Innocent and Guilty. I've kill those who they were, loved and hated... You never know me well

Mei: But the past is the past and you're a new person!

Mei screamed at me

Kevin: I was changed... yet... unfortunately through this times, It's only the choice I have

Mei: Then why don't you stay with us?!

Kevin: I... I... I don't know

Mei: I cared about her! And so I do for you! If ever things go down: You either hurt so much or dying or Kiana as for the same thing... I don't know what to do! Without you both... my world... is nothing but gray!

Kevin: Mei... I'm no in position for your love... but tell me... Why? Why am I truly important? I have not done once single thing for you

Mei was processing, she was having memories why she cherish me... For me I don't really know

Mei's POV

Why... was he truly important to me? What was the true reason I cherish him? There was memories flashing through me... But why was he asking me that question. Shouldn't be obvious... I like him of course, yet. It's not enough for him

Flashback____________

Kevin was out shopping that time for groceries while I'm done and tired from studying, lecturing Kiana was still hard yet made a little significantly easy. I thank Kevin for that. And the other time that we were just peacefully hanging out in the campus. I was always interrupted as he got popular on how powerful he is not to mention his charms, pretty face and how he wield the Judgement of Shamash without a trouble and then when we finally had alone time

Jane: Oh? Isn't this the herrscher hanging out with a precious gem. Kevin if I were you, I would have abandon that trash and go out with me instead

Kevin: And who are you to judge?

Jane: What?! I'm just stating facts... herrschers are the enemies and should be treated like trashes... she was just lucky

Kevin: Is that so? Do you know how much pain do they suffer? On how much gray their world? On what they truly want of instead following the honkai's will?! And if your dear friend was a herrscher... would you even kill her even you she trusted you a whole lot?

Jane was taken a back, His eyes look sad, like something had happened to him a long time ago

Jane: ...

Kevin: You don't even understand what means suffering... your family is wealthy, Jane. Born in bloodline that is so rich that you don't experience the real world. Yes, you are a great fighter and yet you act so cocky... And honestly... Mei is better because she has a natural stigmata than yours... Get out, artificial

Jane: As if Mei is not born as a hieress, she's rich too, surely she destroyed Nagazora because she was too spoiled

Kevin: The Raiden clan is a well mannered family, they may be rich but they follow the japanese traditional rules... And for you born in the west... You don't even follow you House's rules. A noble like you should act a true noble not a lowlife

That took me a back, she called her artificial and seems to understand herrschers. He was one of the few that understand me. And as well times of burden he helps me. I told her my struggles as a herrscher and he tells me things that sooth me through the very core of my heart... 

When I need things he as well bought it for me. I don't care who he may be, an enemy or an ally. All I want, is to thank him for his assistance. There were as well times that he would so far, without sleeping, looking tired to do my presentation for class and more

Flashback end____________________

I love Kiana and Kevin yet... it's so hard, I couldn't answer it. I've answered it before yet. Why was he truly important for me?

Kevin: If that's all you have... to say, I'll leave her to this point

I just look down with shame on myself

Mei?: That man always interest me...

Mei: ...

Mei?: Aww did you just got rejected?... you better tell him how you feel again before the pink haired girl steals your man

The time feel so slow, with every each step, I felt something in my heart that a lot of pressure. I should tell him again... and so...

Mei: Kevin!

He stopped his tracks

Mei: I like you! I like because you deal with everything that I hate for me and for trying to protect me so please! Stay with me!

Kevin: I preferably not however, I were to twist the fate

He turned to me

Kevin: I am Kevin Kaslana, the strongest warrior, the deliverance, hope of humanity, prince of justice. Will submit back to you as 'he' promised to 'her'. But this time when I submit back to you I will not l take back those promises we made from the past. I am Kevin Kaslana whom only truly love one woman... I shall submit once this war is finished, alive and well. 

He looked cool, he act cool... no he was so cool! Was he confessing his love?

Kevin: No matter the cause, Raiden Mei, my love for you will always resides in my heart. If fate stayed to it's course then I will wait for you for days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries or even millennial years. I will wait for your love... my lightning empress

I blushed... it suppose to be a serious matter and yet... yet...

Kevin: I'll leave you with Bronya... I need to meet with Su to talk personally... Note that this is my last smile... but once it is finished then it will come back

He smiled at me before going, I couldn't process what he said... but... I too... can wait for him

Schicksal HQ

22 hours after Kiana's capture

Otto: Keen infusing Honkai energy in the test chamber. We won't be able to wake her up otherwise.

Otto was looking to Kiana's body on a tube. Then smirk as he chuckled

Otto: Heh, long time no see. Welcome home... k423

Kiana?: 'Come back to me, my precious servant!'

A huge ice in the ices of Siberia shake then break as it reveals a dragon beast roaring

Otto look at a huge monitor while keeping his smirk

Otto: Oh? Coming back to protect your queen?

Otto then breathe as he prepare to command the HQ

Otto: Deploy the regional defense satellite! All valkyries, prepare for level one combat! Prepare yourselves, a revolution imminent!
_________________________

Hyperion

The Hyperion and the official Anti-Entropy branch has agreed to fight with us, as we are rescuing a precious gem. We will do so by force as the the HQ never agreed to give her back. Of course, taking her away is just to protect everyone but yet... It will only become worse, I am worried for the Valkyries, these dead weights for the upcoming fight against the 2nd herrscher. Teams were then separated as for the big guns to come for the last. Theresa of course brought the infamous scientist that said: Lieserl Albert Einstein a physicist and whom studied honkai for almost her life and Frederica Nikola Tesla a weapon designer and also who studied honkai for almost her life

Kevin POV

I was looking at a huge monitor as the Overseer called me

Kevin: Otto

I said as I glared at him

Otto: It's been a while, Kevin... oh? Don't look at me like that. All I did was just for the best.

Kevin: So? What do you need?

Otto: Nothing... I would just like to tell... that your threats won't work

Kevin: *sigh* I know that, but I would like to send you one for kidnapping the one of my precious people. She has something to do with your work and I do understand that yet... Doing something such things to Kia- K423 will be unforgiving

Otto: Hahaha, I know that. Bringing you war will upset Bianka and Rita however I'm much more based than you and one more thing... You cannot stop me, Kevin Kaslana

Otto must saw what I did... that beta cuck

The call ended. 

Kevin: ... I'm based one here not you, beta cuck
____________________________

Theresa and Himeko's helios has gone through the their base, attacking honkai beast as they tried attacking a batch of Schicksal's air defense and destroying the satellite defenses by the hyperion from afar. From there Himeko dropped off the floating Island and started to attack few mechs as waiting for the Hyperion to come. Meanwhile... on the Hyperion's deck edge

Elysia: Woah! Is that island really floating?!

Kevin: Yeah

Aponia: Impressive that they can do that

Honkai beasts then started appearing on the deck

Kevin: You know what you have to do girls

I said as I leaned to them before looking back at Otto's position

Otto: Heh.... He's truly splendid just seeing him from afar... I must've underestimate him

Durandal: Lord Overseer... will there be a chance that we will fought him?

Otto: Unfortunately, my dear Durandal, yes. I know how you feel yet it's a must. You are dismissed

Durandal: Understood

Kevin: They're now in terminal 3 huh...

The plan goes for Himeko is to go back in Helios and take Tesla as they will go to hack the terminal defenses, Einstein will be helping them too. I've deployed Sakura if they ever fight against the powerful trio: Hua, Rita and Bianka... I then held a syringe that I've been dragging. HsN b46, Himeko is near her expiration date so I came in prepared. I can't have her dead.

I noticed that the defense in all terminal has been shut down... That's a Frederica Nikola Tesla for you. It seems like they already hacked it through. I then summoned a crow

Kevin: Jizo, keep on the look, Himeko and the others are coming back here. Just give me details if you find something strange.

Jizo: Very Well, Master

Kevin: Mn

Jizo disappear as he the reappeared gliding forward

15 minutes later

Elysia and Aponia is done with the fighting. They both came back to me

Kevin: My... they are getting late...

I said as I spotted Himeko with Sakura and Tesla in the helheim labs.

Aponia: Indeed... I feel honkai energy is about to burst

Elysia: That... bad news, right?

Kevin: As what you just heard, yes

I then look at the other floating island

Kevin: And here we have Rita and Fu Hua having their casual conversation... And there's Bianka

I said as I overlook on Tesla's team then to Bianka's whose as well looking from afar

Aponia: Are you gonna go after them?

Kevin: The real fight for us have not started yet... Bianka can be too weak yet is fun to be against with
_________________

Sakura with Himeko and Tesla

They've cleared their way as Tesla is being cocky again with her mechs. And then someone arrives 

???: Oh my? Is this the new entropy's new mech unit? Cleaning up this one might be slightly difficult, I presume

Sakura: Rita?!

Himeko: Tesla, be careful!

Himeko drag Tesla while they backed off as Tesla's mech got destroyed within an instant

Fu Hua: This is where it ends, Major. Give up and surrender

Sakura: Hua?!... You're with this too...

Fu Hua: Lay down your weapons! I will not help you! You made a mistake. Kiana-

Sakura: Is a not her... it's okay we have people

Fu Hua: Her powers are unstable. She could rampage at any moment and threaten humanity as a whole.

Himeko: Strong words, girl. But we have Kevin. You're trying to kill an innocent girl you know that? Is this the justice you fight for? Hua?

Sakura: RIN was the same, Hua

Fu Hua: Sacrifices are inevitable in the honkai war. You both know more than me, Sakura, Major. That showing mercy to the wrong people can be disastrous

Sakura: Kevin, does not allow your death

Himeko: You do not know what "Sacrifices are inevitable" means. The tragedy is not many have died. But have grown accustomed to the idea that people must die for others to live

Sakura: You are wrong about that Major... Hua know what it means... but soon you'll learn it...

Sakura carefully sheathe a sword that isn't the same as the frozen naraka but... it look like a normal katana... or is it not? She sheathe it carefully as her hair and ear fur came white

Sakura: Come forth! Yamato!

She fully succeed her unsheathing and so she was ready

Sakura: I'll take miss Rita

Rita: I'm honored

Himeko: I'll take Fu Hua

Sakura Vs Rita

Rita: To be against with a "MANTIS" is an honor

Sakura: Stop this Rita

Rita: Well, It cannot be help, Sakura-sama... I must exterminate you too~ not because of you are in 'his' way but you could be one of those people that are in my way

Rita said referring her love towards Kevin

Rita disappear as while keeping her smile her scythe appeared on in front of her, She quickly react as she block the attack with her sword then threw it aside then turning on Rita. Rita returned it to her hand. Rita and Sakura walk while staring both their ways

Rita: As expected to a "MANTIS" Though I wonder how long you could-

Sakura charged at her in unbelievable speed, Sakura swing her sword swiftly then sheathing it

Rita: That was unexpected, Sakura-sama

Sakura felt alarmed as her scythe is near Sakura's neck. Rita kept her smile. Sakura has no choice but to just kneel and submit. Rita then pushed her scythe to its back then strike it to Sakura in which she block it then backing off as she held the sheathe and the handle of Yamato then repeatedly unsheathe and sheathe. beam that slices appear to certain range, it was on Rita's range. Rita was cut by light-slices. She bleeds

Rita: Finally... a worthy opponent

Rita said as she smiled eerily

Sakura: I'm possible, that would made you sleep in an instant!

Rita: Everything is possible, Sakura-sama

Rita then swing her scythe from down to above vertically. Sakura tried deflecting it but she simply disappeared and then used her Rita's back blade of her scythe of her arm as she was disarmed. Then putting Sakura to unconsciousness by smacking her with Aphrodite's bottom

Himeko vs Fu Hua

Tesla: No way!

Himeko: Sakura!

Fu Hua: There's no use, Major. It's only us now

Fu Hua said as she charge as she upper cut on Himeko's face then send her backing off. She was pissed, she put her all rage as she at Fu Hua then striking down her cleaver(Schiffschneider) down to Fu Hua. She dodge it

Rita: Let me help you, Master Fu Hua

Rita then easily took Himeko's cleaver and unarmed her then did the same to Sakura. She then raised her scythe, her pink pupils glowed as she excited going to kill her rivals but then stopped by Fu Hua

Fu Hua: I've said it before... If you do not wish to be my enemy. Then do not hurt them

Rita: Understood, Fu Hua. Then we'll bring them back to the church as prisoners
___________________________________

Kevin: Sakura's team is down, Jizo do not engage. Keep on the look.

Jizo: Understood, Master

Kevin: Su, check the honkai energy ambience

Su: W-Wait what will do about it? Don't do what I think it is

Kevin: I will Su... In order to defeat that herrscher is to use a herrscher-level strength. The beast must be awaken

I said as I prepared a syringe on my back if ever goes too far

Su: But you will not control yourself again!

Kevin: I've told you before...  We have our own contract.

Su: *sigh* Fine... the ambience honkai energy is plenty, around 49 atmosphere per cubic feet.

Kevin: Good. Ah... another wave

I massage moved my arms then summoned Shuhadaku of Uriel

Kevin: I'll deal with these foul creatures

Elysia: Go Kevin~

Elysia cheered

______________________

Hyperion is moving toward the Helheim Labs now. And as for the things that happen on all terminals, All defense system has been disabled. Hyperion is nearing the labs and I feel a honkai honkai energy going to burst. All though Schicksal defenses are strong yet why is it powerful this time? Is it on purpose or is it to lure us into the 2nd herrscher? It is...

A sudden honkai outburst occur

Kevin: Su...

Su: She's awaken

Kevin: I know... Tell Elysia that I love her and as well Mei... and as your greatest friend

Su: ...

Kevin: I love you too

I turned off the communicator. Another eruption occur

Su: Tsk... You son of a bitch!
______________________________

After the battle with Mei and Kiana, Kiana won over her as she chokelift Mei

Mei: K...Kia...na...chan.... wa...wake....u-

An explosion occur as the 2nd herrscher lost grip to Mei. As the dust clouds disappear, A man in familiar coat with a honkai beast-like arm on his left, a horns then a halo. Its eyes were red. his hair is snow-white and pink crystals were surrounding him as well

???: We've meet again, my former friend/master

His eyes filled with true hatred towards the herrscher of the void
