Dun Dun Dun! the second revamp!

A duo moved quickly through the halls of the Herta Space Station, dashing past various obstacles while engaging the Antimatter Legion forces along the way. Their movements were sharp and precise, a testament to their teamwork and experience in battle.

One of them was a tall, slender young man with black hair and calm, focused eyes. His partner, a young girl with light pink hair, wore brightly colored clothing that stood out against the metallic backdrop of the station. As they ran, the young man spoke up.

"How close are we to the coordinates, March?" he asked, his tone serious.

"We should be there about... now!" March answered with a hint of excitement in her voice, her steps never slowing.

Just as March finished speaking, Y/N turned his head to the left, sensing something down the hallway that led to the room where he and Stelle had been staying. Channeling a small amount of cursed energy into his hands, he prepared for any potential threat.

"Whoa!" March exclaimed as she skidded to a stop, nearly crashing into a white-haired man standing in her path. "Are you okay?" she asked, a bit flustered.

The man, Y/N, was silent for a moment before responding. "Yes, and so is the girl over there. She's just resting. Who are you two?" he asked, his voice calm but direct, as his eyes took in the two strangers.

"Oh! I'm March 7th, and this is Dan Heng!" March introduced herself with enthusiasm, her energy levels seeming to spike as she spoke.

Y/N glanced at the young man who had just appeared behind her. 'Dan Heng... definitely a Chinese name. Could he be from Earth?' Y/N mused, keeping his thoughts to himself as he observed Dan Heng's neutral, serious expression. His demeanor reminded Y/N of Megumi.

"It's good to see you both are unharmed," Dan Heng said, his voice even, though his eyes revealed a deeper level of caution and focus. Dan Heng reminded Y/N of Megumi in some ways./

Y/N crossed his arms. "The name's Gojo," he said, choosing to withhold his first name for now. "I don't know the girl's name. She hasn't told me yet."

Suddenly, a loud boom echoed throughout the space station, causing Y/N to tense. "What's happening to this place?" he asked, glancing toward the source of the sound.

March, eager to explain, chimed in. "The Antimatter Legion is attacking! They're unpredictable—they pop up in the most random places," she said, clearly pleased with herself for sharing something important.

Y/N frowned. "I've never heard of this Antimatter Legion. Care to explain?" This time, he directed his question to Dan Heng, sensing he might provide a clearer answer.

"In short, the Antimatter Legion serves the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook," Dan Heng explained, his expression growing even more serious. "Their attacks are chaotic, often striking without warning or reason. The Legion is led by the Lord Ravagers, powerful generals who command the armies."

Y/N's mind was quickly filling with new information, but before he could ask another question, Stelle began to stir on the bed, catching the attention of everyone in the room.

"Hey! They're waking up!" March exclaimed, quickly moving over to help Stelle sit up.

Y/N stood back, allowing the Astral Express duo to take the lead. He crossed his arms, watching carefully as Stelle slowly opened her eyes, blinking as if trying to shake off a deep sleep.

"Are you all right? Can you hear me? Do you remember your name?" March asked, her concern genuine.

Stelle placed a hand on her forehead, wincing slightly as if in pain. "I... I don't remember anything," she said, closing her eyes tightly as if trying to force the memories to come back.

March pouted slightly but remained optimistic. "Come on, try harder! You've got to remember something," she encouraged.

After a brief pause, Stelle opened her eyes again and spoke, "My name is... Stelle."

Dan Heng stepped forward, acknowledging her

Dan Heng stepped forward, acknowledging her. "Stelle? Nice to meet you. My name's Dan Heng, and this is March 7th," he said, gesturing to the girl beside him. "And the man behind us is Gojo."

Stelle's gaze shifted briefly toward Y/N, her eyes lingering on him for a moment longer than expected.

Dan Heng continued, "This space station is under attack by the Antimatter Legion. We were sent by Lead Researcher Asta to assist in the evacuation."

"Antimatter Legion?" Stelle asked, still disoriented.

"Yeah, they're goons under the Destruction," March explained with a wave of her hand. "You're lucky their strongest general isn't here, just some low-level minions."

"And who's Asta?" Stelle asked again, her confusion apparent.

"Asta's the acting Lead Researcher. She's in charge while Madam Herta is away," March explained. "You'll meet her once we get back to the control zone."

Stelle, still adjusting to the situation, asked, "Where should we go?"

"Back to the master control zone," Dan Heng answered. "That's where Asta and the other researchers are gathering."

"And that's where we parked the Astral Express!" March added with a bright smile. "Don't worry, we'll protect you from any more monsters."

Y/N's frown deepened at the overconfident tone of March.

"You two head back together," Dan Heng said. "Gojo and I need to head to the security department. I've lost contact with Arlan, and we need to find him first."

March nodded, her usual enthusiasm was still present. "Okay, stay safe, you two!" she said before turning to lead Stelle toward a nearby weapon stash.

As Y/N Gojo and Dan Heng began walking down the hallway, Y/N couldn't help but notice the faint green light that enveloped him earlier, lingering in the corner of his mind. Stelle had noticed it too, her eyes watching him with curiosity as she was led away by March.

"What is that energy...?" Y/N Gojo muttered to himself, before focusing on the task ahead. He followed Dan Heng, who led the way deeper into the space station.
