A month had passed since Nagazora. Alex now found himself in a situation that he wanted no part of, but had no way to get out of. Now, he'll lend his assistance to the enemy, alongside the turncoat Mei Raiden. The third chapter in the Battle for Eve...
That was all Alex could think as he really had no words to convey how emotionally he was feeling just now.
Obviously, Alex kept the whole him killing a man in cold blood ordeal to himself because god forbid he'd ever let Raven or Mei find out.
After contemplating over everything, the boy would finally get some shut eye and drift off to sleep.
Unfortunately, It would happen again.
The same cold feeling beneath him would suddenly arrive as he opened his eyes and saw the void less sky around him.
He was back in the Theater.
Alex would get up and looked around to see that he wasn't in the hallway like the first time he was brought here.
Instead, he was at the small theater platform where he and Seele was fighting the puppeteered mechs.
Then, he heard that trademark echoey laugh as Alex turned around and saw a puppet approach him.
"Hi there. Let's have a small chat, okay?"
He immediately went to grab Olympus only to find out that it wasn't with him this time.
"What the?"
"Boy oh boy. You sure resort to violence quickly. We simply brought you here for a chat." Said the puppet.
Before Alex could retort with anything, he noticed something odd the puppet said.
"We? Who's we? There's only one of you." He said.
The puppet had a brief chuckle before snapping its fingers as Alex felt the ground rumbling beneath him.
"The hell's going on!?" He asked himself.
After a while, Alex looked ahead to see that the puppet now stood above him on a pedestal however now, the initially empty stands that surrounded the stage were now filled to the brim with a ton of puppets.

It was like he stood before some kind of court hearing or something and he was the one on trial.
"Where the heck did all of you come from? I think it's about time you finally told me what you are!" Shouted Alex.
"Hmm........how should we put it? In simple terms, we're a Herrscher." Said the puppet at the stool as the others nodded in agreement.
"Well, I figured as much."
"Don't get us mistaken though. We're not like other Herrschers."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Every single puppet you see before you, we're all the same. All of us are one Herrscher."
"You all are the same Herrscher? How does that make sense? You all can't have the same core. That's impossible."
"That's what you think. However that's where we differ. Where as most other Herrschers have a singular core and one body, our cores are split up amongst a thousand individuals which equal the same output as a normal core." Explained the puppet.
