Ultraya: Revival

Chapter 66: After War

15/02/4014 – 10:00 – Ultraya System

After the defeat of the False Deity known as 'Flaaregon', all military forces were given a well-deserved period of relaxation. General Staruthia and General Elimiphlaren held a press conference to officially announce the end of the Alliance-Rebellion War. Shortly after, the A.E.R. was disbanded. All of the money and attention that was spent on the military and their activities was finally able to be diverted to alternate causes, the first of which became improving relations between the Wyperians and Humans. Wyperians fully disclosed everything; the full power of an Angel, Shadow Abilities, Sealia, more technology, and most importantly, the fact that Wyperians can switch to a Human form. That last one caused quite a stir and serious trust issues. Wyperian and Human scientists combined their talents and developed a new scanner that could identify a Wyperian in Human form before anything got out of hand.

Naturally, neither side simply took the other species as equals straight away but with the combined efforts of the ex-Angel-Ayratulia doing their best to explain their intentions and what they hoped for the future, along with the Humans offering new non-combat A.M.R. to the public, no large-scale fights broke out. Much was still left to be figured out however: Novaran's location, a second Rainbow Crystal for Ru-Flare, the details of the entity known as 'Shadow', the wariness of the potential existence of other False Deities, the cause of The Ruling Change, and more. On the upside, desires to join Exploration Teams had sky-rocketed once again. It seemed like everything was returning to normal... or at least as close to normal as the Ultraya System could get to.

"Why did we leave this so late?" Kira asked.

"No, shut up, this is gonna be great!" Alexis smirked mischievously. The two sisters were standing outside the main entrance to their house; Kira couldn't help but stare in awe as a wave of emotions flooded her minds.

"Would mum and dad even recognise me?" Kira asked as she stood there in a white turtle-neck jumper. She was fidgeting with her fingers. "I've carried out dozens of assassinations over the years and I don't think I've been as nervous or hesitant as I am right now".

"That's why we're doing this!" Alexis beamed as she outstretched her arm; she was in her usual outfit: a black leather jacket, a white tank-top, a red short-skirt, and thick, black boots. "This should lighten the mood!"

Kira reluctantly handed over her Moirai, the one with Lexi's name etched into it, "I still don't see how this is going to work".

"Just watch", Alexis laughed as the two walked through the automatic doors that led to the reception hall. There was a large archway with a scanner along the outsides. "This device will scan your I.D., along with any weapons you are carrying, it then announces it on the speaker systems throughout the complex!"

"Erm... okay?" Kira was still confused.

"Hurry up, dear!" Yuri Destiny said as she was bringing snacks into the living room of the family's private on-site residence. "Lexi will be here soon!" Yuri was wearing a lovely blue and white casual dress.

"I know!" Robert replied. He was wearing soldering gear and was covered in a smoky substance, contrasting his wife's clothing. "But I just have to get this present finished first!"

"ID: AYRD-4500 has entered. Weapons: SRHHC-C, "Moirai Custom #1' and 'Moirai Custom #2", the automatic scanning system announced over the intercom.

"Damn it, she's here already", Robert grunted. He noticed Yuri staring at the intercom speakers at the top of the wall. "What's the matter?"
