The two met on the battle location agreed. It was a short distance from their military camps.

Both of their own squad came .

Eries : no hard feelings after this ?

Estos ; hmph. We'll see.

To give an idea what kind of soldier, Estos he is. He was a big bulky guy who held a big cleaver as his blade. He grabbed it from his back and flames burned and aflamed it.

" Sighs. Sorry for that. Of course, I'll make sure there's no hard feelings after this." His own leader, Tesia spoke.

"be careful to be burned." He dragged the blade across the floor as he walked forward. Flames burned the ground as the blade touches.

Nana : let's get this over with. Show me the best strike you have.

" Nana !!!  I don't think that's a good idea. Estos ' leader, Tesia said in concern. " Tsk. Eries !! "

Eries : nana. You know what you're asking ?

Nana : it's ok.

" Hmph. The arrogance." Estos stabs his blade into the ground.

Flames run a straight line towards her and runs one circle around her. A wall of fire rises up ensnaring her in . Then the wall of fire starts to grow fire claws reaching in towards her.

It grabs her and raises her up.

Estos : it hurts as it burns doesn't it ? Hahaha.

Nana : is that it ?

She said with a bored tone. She didn't look affected at all despite her skin was burning and it was making her bleed.

Estos : you little shit !!

" Estos !! No. Put her down. You've won ! " Tesia yelled.

Nana : is that all ?

Estos : what ?!!

Nana : look down to your feet.

A snake hissed and estos was going to slice it, but it slithers away quickly.

Estos : just a snake

Nana : really ?

Then estos felt really sick and pain. He collapsed to one of his knees. " I will..."

Nana : kill me ? You'll die. Only I have the antidote.

Estos : it's just a snake.

" that's hebi." She raises her arm over her body and squeezes her hand. A blue glass ball breaks and water splashes out of it extinguishing the flame claws on her.

She lands on the ground and took out another glass ball. She throws it at the line of fire and walks out.

Estos : you... You were prepared.

Nana : I always do my homework before I attack. If not, I wouldn't allow myself to get caught.

" Eries !! Ask her to give him the antidote!!" Tesia asked.

The snake slithers onto Nana's leg and up to around her neck.

Nana : I will . I want to see colonel Creo. Your colonel Creo.

Tesia : That's it ?!!

Nana : I want the truth. That's it.

Eries: nana !! I know what this is about. But it's gone too far !!

Nana : make him come. Here.

Eries sighed " Reyn. Go."

Reyn nodded and left.

Estos finally couldn't hold back anymore and lied down on the ground.

Nana walked over and passed him a pill " it will lessen the pain."

Estos looked at it suspiciously.

Nana : your choice.

Estos took it and swallows. It did lessen the pain immediately.

Estos : you want to kill out Colonel ?

Nana : I want the truth. I need some leverage to force him. I just hope he's not an asshole to leave you to die.

Estos ; the truth about what ?

Tesia thought for a while" .... Is this about Colonel Izuya ?"

She nods.

Tesia: The stories are true. You joined back the army for him. He was always a cold guy. I didn't think he actually did get a... Girlfriend.

Nana. ... Girlfriend... I guess that is... What I could only be now

Tesia : I didn't mean it that way.

Estos : that snake. Your pet?

Nana : A snake I gave a bit of my soul too. Listens to only me. I feed it all kinds of things. I control what poison it dispenses from it's teeth.

Estos : I see. Embedding part of your soul to something else. I heard it's painful.

Nana : it's ok.

Estos : I surely underestimated you. Using enchanted water balls and poisoning me like that. You played my arrogance easily.

Nana : sorry.

Estos : what did you eat though? The blood and the burns, don't they hurt ?

Nana : not a good idea for you to have. It comes with its side effects  

Estos : I see.

Creo : you're nuts.

Nana : I just want the truth.

Creo : I told you already !!

Nana : don't lie to me !! I saw your urgent request form !! There was no way you could have gotten food that fast !!

Creo : .... So you know now.

Nana : yes.

Creo sighs "then I've no choice but to tell you what happened. "
.
.
.
Nana : you... You traitor !!! You were his good friend !!

Creo ; I didn't know too !! When I found out... It was already too late. I don't have evidence too. A colonel abusing his power to do what he wants, in a city I don't have power in. I'm not stupid .

Nana: .... Damn it damn it damn it !!!

Creo ; as for estos.

Nana : Estos received the antidote before I met you.

Creo : I see. You never meant to hurt anyone.

Nana : no, Eries won't let me. I don't actually care
