Talking: Nice to meet you.

Whispering: That's wild.

Thinking: (What the hell is happening?)

---------------------------------------------------------

{3rd Person POV}

We begin exactly where we left off. With the beautiful yet dangerous Kafka standing in the space station hallway. She was gazing at Ginga and Momotaros with a fond smile that tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Despite not fighting on "his own" technically speaking, Ginga was able to find a way to fight. Regardless of it being highly unorthodox. Suddenly a Reaver teleported behind Kafka, thrusting its blade arm to pierce right through her body.

Ginga: Kafka!

He warned her as soon as he realized what was happening, but she didn't move an inch. Her smile never faltered. Suddenly-!

The attacking Voidranger was atomized into a jumble of pixels. His once coherent particles scattered in the wind with no clear destination.

Ginga: W-What-?!

???: Cleaning up other people's mess isn't in my job description. Y'know Kafka?

Kafka: *Sigh* Yeah, yeah. Where did you send it Silver Wolf?

The voice of a girl was suddenly heard. Ginga recognized that voice. It was the same one that came from the holographic display earlier! He looked behind Kafka, noticing a petite girl sitting on a crate. She had long silver hair tied into a ponytail with a purple streak running through it and a bored look on her face.

【👾Silver Wolf👾】
[Path: Nihility]

Silver Wolf: Some random coordinates? Not important. You care about where that random Voidranger ended up?

Kafka: Of course not. I'm just amazed at this fancy technique of yours, as usual.

Silver Wolf: Just a little trick of tempering with the data of reality, I wouldn't call it fancy.

Momotaros: Huh? That makes no sense!

Silver Wolf: I wouldn't expect you to understand. While your fight was fun, it was way too reckless.

Momotaros: What did you say brat?! Come at me, I'll kick your ass!

Silver Wolf: It would be too boring, not like you could do anything while in that form.

The Oni growled in anger and looked up at the recovering Ginga who was still panting heavily.

Momotaros: Ginga! Let me posses you!

Ginga: H-Huh?! But I don't want to fight her!

Momotaros: Come on! It'll be quick! She looks weak!

Ginga: It's not...about that though...

He muttered with a small drop of sweat. His soft-spoken voice fell on deaf ears as Momotaros entered his body anyway. Hair sticking up, red streak forming, eyes turning red!

🔴Ginga: Yosh! *Cracks his knuckles* I'm not holding back you brat!

The silver-haired girl sighed in annoyance. However, she was intrigued by the whole "possession" dynamic the duo had going on. She aimed her arm blaster at him, its neon glow becoming brighter.

🔴Ginga: Your pretty lights don't intimidate me!

He rushed at her, dodging her laser bolts! And right as he was about to land a devastating punch he stopped!

🔴Ginga: Grrr...My arm! I can't move my arm!

"🔘(Momotaros, stop!)🔘"

🔴Ginga: You jerk! How are you stopping me?!

"🔘(Stop attacking her...!)🔘"

🔴Ginga: Don't tell me what to do!

Silver Wolf lowered her arm blaster and raised an eyebrow with extreme confusion. Watching the possessed male seemingly have a conversation with himself? She turned to Kafka who simply giggled at the antics, covering her mouth elegantly with her hand.

🔴Ginga groaned again and Momotaros was finally expelled from his body. Returning to just being regular Ginga, with the ghost returning to his incomplete sandy form.

Momotaros: You pushed me out?! Only somebody with a strong enough will can do that!

Ginga: L-Look, don't possess me out of the blue like that...You may only do that during emergencies ok...?

Momotaros huffed in annoyance, crossing his arms.

Momotaros: Like I'll listen to you. Dumbass...!

Kafka: Color me impressed. I've never seen somebody manage to cancel out a possession like that.

Silver Wolf stared up at the boy. He technically "saved" her with MASSIVE quotation marks. She could've handled it herself but it was still impressive he managed to do so.

Silver Wolf: Glad to see you're not a complete pushover. Singularity Point.

Ginga: Thanks...? I guess...?

Silver Wolf: Take it as a compliment.

Kafka: Hehe, don't let it get to your head Ginga. Silver Wolf doesn't express herself too much. She's definitely impressed by your willpower, I am too.

The girl's eyes widened slightly, turning to Kafka. She crossed her arms and looked up at the tall woman while Ginga, being easily flustered, looked away and covered his mouth with his scarf.

Silver Wolf: Don't just say that! He'll get the wrong idea!

Kafka: Sorry, sorry~ Now, back on topic. What's our destination?

Silver Wolf: *Sigh* Go down the corridor behind the door on the left. There's a room where some kind of rare item is stored.

Kafka: So that's where the Stellaron is?

Silver Wolf:...That's where we can find out where the Stellaron is...

Momotaros: I'll do you one better. What is the Stellaron?

He said with an annoyed tone, arms crossed and looking up at both Kafka and Silver Wolf. The black-haired male's attention returned to the current conversation. Getting over his flustered state.

Kafka: Allow me to explain. You see, Stellarons are mysterious and powerful objects scattered around the galaxy. They are highly valuable and we are trying to find one.

The black-haired boy suddenly chimed in. He spoke with a worried and slightly shaky tone.

Ginga: Wait...so you entered this Space Station to steal the Stellaron?

Kafka: No, not steal it silly~ We just came to awaken it.

Silver Wolf raised an eyebrow at the interaction, she was sure Kafka noticed his change in attitude as well. He seemed strangely opposed to the idea of stealing. Much more than simply thinking "stealing is wrong". He seemed to have an almost repulsed reaction to the idea.

The silver-haired girl sighed internally. So he was one of those types...goody two shoes that stick by a strict moral code. She crossed her arms as she looked up at him.

Silver Wolf: (Is he serious? He won't survive a day out there with that naive attitude...)

She stared at him for a little too long. Taking in his appearance fully. She forced herself to look away, prying her eyes off of him forcefully. She mentally scolded herself for getting distracted.

Silver Wolf: (Focus, Silver Wolf! This isn't time for distractions!)

She slapped her cheeks without anybody noticing. She couldn't let feelings get in the way of the job! The small girl sighed silently, getting a hold of herself before turning to the others. Just why did her face heat up like that?

Silver Wolf: We should get going...

She pointed towards the aforementioned door on the left, quickly tapping on the touch scheme mounted on her forearm. Disabling the locking mechanism and opening the door with ease.

Silver Wolf: The central area of the Space Station is up ahead. There will be lots of Legion Voidrangers there.

Ginga: R-Really?...

Momotaros: Oh hell yes!

They walked down the corridor, coming across a new type of Voidranger. This one held a massive cannon close to their hip. This is a Voidranger: Eliminator. It appeared to be completely alone though.

【🌌Voidranger: Eliminator🌌】

Momotaros: Heh! It won't even know what hit it!

Silver Wolf: Nope.

She shoved Momotaros away, scattering his sandy body all over the floor. He quickly reformed himself and huffed angrily at her.

Momotaros: The hell you mean "nope" you brat?!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

She didn't even turn to look back at the Oni, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly.

Silver Wolf: I haven't had fun in a while. I'll handle this.

The girl tapped the bracelet in her right hand, causing colorful pixelated particles to surround her arm, as if charging up...something.

Ginga: Is she going to be ok alone?

Kafka: Don't worry Ginga. She may be petite, but she's incredibly powerful~

The girl calmly walked towards the Eliminator, pulling out a purple game cartridge-like device from her pocket. She spun it around her finger and inserted it into her arm-mounted device.

💾GASHATTO!💾

A digitized voice shouted out from her wrist-mounted device as she took a battle-ready stance. Energy surrounded her hand! Armor surrounded her forearm only and a large blue energy blade with blocky pixels protruding from it extended outwards.

"👾I'm the only winner here!👾"

She dashed forward! A trail of blue pixels trailed behind her. The Eliminator didn't have time to properly aim its cannon, firing energy projectiles erratically that the silver-eyed girl easily dodged. The explosions caused the corridor to rumble but Silver Wolf was entirely unbothered, maintaining her aloof expression.

She leapt at the Voidranger. It finally regained its footing a shot a powerful energy shot at Silver Wolf! She crossed her arm blade over her chest, and quickly swung it down diagonally SLICING the shot in half!

*BOOM*

*SSSSSLASH!!*

"[👾System Warning!👾]"

The Voidranger was stunned beyond belief! But it didn't have much time to be. Silver Wolf twisted her body and slashed right through it in a wide arc! She passed through the Antimatter Soldier's body, turning around and swinging at its back! The enemy was launched away, rolling on the ground with a deep crescent cut on both sides of its body.

Silver Wolf: ...Your combat needs optimizing -- Let's finish this.

"[👾User Banned!👾]"

*Shooooom! Blip! Bloop!*

She summoned a holographic screen in front of her, a red reticle locked onto the Voidranger. Silver Wolf wiggled her fingers to loosen them—the "game" she conjured. The controls were similar to that of a Piano!

Suddenly fast-paced music began to play and colorful blocks fell from the sky in sync with it! SHE SUMMONED A RHYTHM GAME!

Her fingers became nothing but a blur as she tapped away on the screen. The colorful blocks caused severe damage to the Voidranger! When finally-!

✨FULL COMBO!!!✨

Silver Wolf: *Sigh* Is this easy mode?...

A final long beam of energy fell upon the Voidranger. It was left completely evaporated. The rest of the group was left with completely stunned faces. Well, all except for Kafka who was used to it at this point. As for the other two though...

Momotaros: OI BRAT! WHAT DID YOU JUST PULL AND HOW CAN I DO THAT?!

Ginga: W-Wasn't that a l-little overkill?...

The red-wine-haired woman placed a hand on his shoulder with a small laugh.

Kafka: Don't worry Ginga, you'll get used to it.

Ginga: T-That doesn't really answer my concern though...

He mumbled with a nervous sweatdrop spawning on his forehead. He chuckled awkwardly before turning his attention to Silver Wolf and Momotaros. Silver Wolf's highly futuristic weapon returned to its base mode, taking the shape of a simple silver brace attached to her forearm.

Silver Wolf: Will you stop it with the shouting? It's starting to get annoying...

Momotaros: Not until you tell me how you did that, brat! And nothing of this "code of reality" crap!

He shouted loudly at her. The girl sighed tiredly, converting her brace into 💾BLASTER MODE💾 and -

*PEW*

Shooting right through him, crumbling his sandy body into a cloud of dust that quickly reformed. Returning angrier than before.

Silver Wolf: I don't owe you explanations. Especially when you're being this obnoxious.

Momotaros: Grrr! Mark my words brat! I'll figure you out!...

Silver Wolf: *Sigh* Suit yourself...

The Oni's sandy body broke down and crumbled. He didn't seem to need sand to exist, but he did need it to communicate. After that whole ordeal, the group continued to walk through the long hallway of the space station.

With every step of the way, Silver Wolf inched closer to the scarf-wearing male. It was safe to say she was intrigued by his...very existence if she had to be honest.

Silver Wolf: So...Singularity Point. Just what are you?

Was she too direct? Naaaaah it's probably fine... A slightly startled and confused expression crept up to his face. He didn't expect the apathetic girl to suddenly start a conversation. Much less in such a...forward manner.

Ginga: I would tell you if I knew...Kafka keeps saying I'm "The singularity point". But that doesn't really tell me who I am...

Silver Wolf: (So he really is clueless...)

Silver Wolf looked up at him again. Just...staring...Was this going to become a habit? The black hair boy felt her gaze on him and turned to look away.

He was too nervous to tell her the staring was making him a little uncomfortable. In the end, Silver Wolf noticed what she was doing. She forcibly adverted her eyes and attempted to suppress the unfamiliar heat rising up to her face.

Silver Wolf: (Jeez, get a hold of yourself!)

They continued their walk through the hallway, the only noise that could be heard were the sounds of their footsteps against the metallic floors until they eventually reached a large door at the end of the hallway.

Out of the blue, Kafka reached out and gently grabbed Ginga's arm, stopping him from advancing. He turned to her with his head tilted to the side as a form of question.

Kafka: Hold it. Someone, or something, is up ahead.

*FWOOOOOM*

Multiple Voidrangers suddenly teleported around them. Despite being faceless, their bloodlust was palpable. Ginga yelped in surprise and stepped away from the Distorter in front of him, only to be met with the presence of a Reaver right behind him. They were completely surrounded.

Silver Wolf: Looks like we're the one getting ambushed.

Kafka: But they're the ones getting besieged. I believe it's time.

The woman pulled out her gun and shot a spree of bullets all around her. She grabbed Ginga tighter and closer and pulled jumped away so that they weren't surrounded anymore, followed by Silver Wolf doing the same.

Kafka: Now Ginga, take out the Rider Pass.

The boy nodded, hastily reaching into his pocket and fumbling with the train pass a bit. Kafka chuckled softly, smiling fondly at the clumsy boy despite the imminent danger. If you're wondering why the Voidrangers haven't attacked yet?... You ask too many questions.

Kafka: All right, now open it.

The boy quickly did so. He turned the metal pass inside out, noticing the glow of the strange insignia within it.

*Whoooooosh~*

Suddenly, a line of pure silver light began to spin around his midsection! Its sparkling form quickly became some sort of belt? It hung loosely on his waist as it was unbuckled on one side.

Ginga: E-Eh!?...W-What is this thing?... A Belt?...Ah!

He yelped in surprise as he felt a pair of arms softly wrap around him. It was Kafka. She securely buckled the belt on. It fit him like a glove, secure but not too tight. The woman put her face right next to his, which only made him blush and stammer more.

Kafka: Now, follow your heart and transform~

She lightly pushed him forward, making him take a few steps towards the very patient and polite Voidrangers. Ginga stammered a little, his legs a little wobbly as he was forced to face the many monsters in front of him.

Ginga: H-huh-! I-I'm not sure about this-

Silver Wolf: Just hurry up!

She pushed him forward, making him panic and blurt out the first word that came to his mind!

"[🔘Henshin!🔘]"

A silver light emanated from the belt and surrounded his body! Its glow wrapped around him so perfectly it almost felt like a second skin of sorts. Armor plating also attached itself to the Aura skin, completing the transformation. The light around him subsided to reveal-!

【🔘Den-O: Plat-Form!🔘】
