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...
A few days had passed since Alex's last encounter with the Herrscher of Dominance in the Theater alongside Bronya and Seele.
As he had expected, he was separated from the two upon returning back to the real world however he was confident that whatever Bronya had in mind.
Oddly enough, he hadn't been contacted by the puppets at all during this time frame which worried him somewhat.
Unfortunately now wasn't the time to be too caught up with it as now it seemed as if the main three organizations of Schicksal, AE, and the Serpent had begun to closely monitor the situation regarding the situation now.
Now that there was another Herrscher to be targeted, Kevin would finally give Mei something to do as she alongside Raven and Alex were sent to a neighboring city to go investigate the matter as some shipments has gone missing and there's was a chance it could have been connected to the Herrscher.
Currently, the trio were in a rather tucked away and hidden bar that Raven also owned as she stood behind the counter with Mei seated at one of the stools as Alex just sat at one of the booths on his own, head laid down on the table.
Mei and Raven were currently engaged in a conversation though with Alex zoned out at the moment, he wasn't really listening as he was focused on his own thoughts.
'That last time got pretty intense. Them taking Bronya's powers is still concerning. They can easily create whatever and overwhelm anyone with sheer numbers. I can only imagine they'll get more ruthless as time goes on. Especially when they start to target Kiana and Mei for their powers. If it acquires all three, then we're done for.'
At that moment, the transmission device Raven had began to buzz as she'd set it down on the counter between herself and Mei as out appeared the hologram of a unique individual.

This was a man and World Serpent member known as Gray Serpent who was basically the main info broker for the group.
In fact he was the one who had sent the three to this neighboring city in the first place as he called in for an update.
"You're five minutes late. Why the hold up?" He asked.
"Well, the two locations are quite far from one another and the roads were blocked." Said Raven.
"That doesn't matter. What's the status so far?"
"Well, unfortunately there hasn't been a change in that regard. The two warehouses were broken into and the cargo was damaged. Either we came late, or the culprit managed to clean up the scene just in time. We also didn't find any clues regarding the puppets. No missing people to report as well. Be that as it may, it's still too early say that this was all that new Herrscher doing. We missed something or the one behind the strings is just that good." Explained Raven.
