"So what are we doing here exactly?" - Stelle asked, as she was walking alongside Idrila on a bustling street on some random civilized planet.

"We are here to find someone... Rather, me." - Idrila responded, as the shard that belonged to the Aeon of Beauty looked around, glancing back and forth at every corner and alleyway, there is not a single person on the street that she doesn't observe carefully, to the point that several pedestrians were freaked out by this behavior... "A shard of Idrila, which contains a fragment of the Beauty, I managed to detect the faint signal coming from this exact planet, but I am unable to pinpoint exactly where it is."

"..." - Stelle then looked at Idrila, who is now visibly growing more anxious as the search goes on... "Aren't there a lot of people on this planet...?"

"I know. But I have no other choices. A shard of Beauty cannot be left like this, especially when we are from one same vessel." - Idrila then turned around, looked Stelle in the eyes and placed her hand on her chest. "I beg of you, Nameless, lend me your strength."

Stelle would have refused at first, had it not been for Idrila sharing to her some stories and she figured out her current circumstances with her identity. But now, Stelle just simply could not refuse, deep down, she hoped that the reward for this unexpected mission would give her a nice amount of Stellar Jades, but overall she accepted to help out of good will.

"You have my thanks, Nameless, I promise to return the favor to you someday. Now, let us continue our search, we are nearly done with this city, we will head to the capital next should this place give us no clue."

Nothing unusual on the radar.

Visuals look clear, no enemy ships.

Approximately 70 system hours for the vanguard of the Legion to come.

The ship sailed through the empty void, just right outside of the system which houses Melustanin, from its cargo hold dropped several anti spacecraft mines, left to be in the way of the Legion in hopes of dealing some considerable damage as well as notifying the defenders of their enemies' arrival.

The rest of the forces from the IPC still has yet to arrive, the followers of Beauty from all over the Cosmos is still gathering as well, but majority of those who actually relevant as the Knights of Beauty and a handful of Mirror Holders have returned, they were the first to establish several strongholds throughout the system, yet not even they can confidently say that they will be able to fend off the upcoming onslaught.

For as everyone are aware of, the Anti Matter Legion is ruthless, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal, their current route is aimed directly at Melustanin, where the Aeon of Beauty had ascended into Aeonhood, this is surely a declaration of war, regardless being the will of Nanook or just the choice of his Lord Ravagers, most of those who know the gravity of the situation couldn't just sit by and watch.

And so, from all across the Cosmos, the followers of Beauty, the Xianzhou Alliances, several Galaxy Rangers, Doctors of Chaos,... all decided to lend a hand in the upcoming battle against the Destruction. However, the Equilibrium and THEIR Arbitrators are not yet seen to be in action yet.

That's strange, stars suddenly disappeared on the visuals, there aren't going to be any cosmic dust storms in this sector.

All hands on deck, keep your guards up guys.

It is still unknown if the massive force currently being mustered by Oswaldo Schneider will join the battle or not, but most people assume he would, since there is no other reason for him to rally such a significant force...

30 more hours until the first vanguard of the Legion would appear on the radar, as estimated. More and more of the defenders have arrived close to the system, most of them are in alliance with the IPC, but with this force, they are not sure if they can even fend off the first wave of attackers...

Signal is getting... nnngg.... nggg... jammed....

Glory 1, come again? Glory 1?

Stars- Stars-

Several system malfunctions began to manifest within the next 2 system hours, at first they were denied any further investigations, but when reported to the higher commanders within the chain of local command, they finally realized that their ignorance may have well been welcoming the enemy with open arms.

Before they knew it, several surveillance ships literally vanished, warped by the nothingness, visual information and all the scouting probes were useless to the mysterious attack, so they were forced to retreat back to the system at full speed, to warn the other defenders as well as identifying the threat...

It would appear that through some unknown means, most likely coming from the power of a Lord Ravager, the enemy vanguard have managed to get so close without any detection thanks to the use of a black hole, its mass and size is barely recognizable with naked eyes, but still can suck everything in its path in.

Right behind the black hole is a small fleet of spacecrafts, mostly made up from roughly fighter skiffs, which is mostly seen in action by the Legion during void battles to take out enemy transports.

By now, the battle has officially begun, 27 system hours earlier than the initial estimations.

The Miss Universal War - Begin!

HooH : *smacks Aha and Mythus* get out

Aha & Mythus : *run away*

HooH : ahem

War of the Beauty - Hour Zero

On some random Xianzhou ship.

"wait a moment..." - a foxian writer, who is a novice novelist was working on his newest fanfiction stopped and thinking for a moment. "Mythus is the Aeon of Enigmata, the path that spreads misinformation... Now I think about it... Is Mythus actually THEIR name? What if it's misinformation from the beginning!?"

Polka Kakamond : aye you know too much

#4 claims yet another victim...
