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...
As the blinding white light faded away, Alex's vision returned to him as the boy looked around to survey his surroundings.
He indeed had wound up at the main lobby, being by the stairs leading to the upper level along with numerous broken puppets strewn across the floor.
"Damn. It's a mess here." Said Alex as he went and walked his way over to the other side of the lobby, coming across more broken down puppets.
Upon reaching the other side, he was surprised to see an extremely large hole had opened up on the ground.
As Alex neared it, his infected arm began to go off.
'Something's down there in that hole. Judging from the way my arm's reacting, it's extremely big.' Thought Alex.
As he stood there to think things over, he felt a hand grab his ankle as he turned back to see a broken puppet on its last legs had crawled towards him.
"W-What're you doing here? This.......doesn't concern you.....that's hell you'll be entering down there....." It weakly said.
Alex simply looked back at the hole, his mind not changing.
"The people you're targeting is what concerns me. Therefore, I have no choice but to be involved. I made a promise to someone down there, and I intened to keep it so long as her story keeps going."
"Y-You stubborn child..........that's suicide you'll be walking into.......!"
"................so what? If my story is to end here, then so be it."
The puppet wouldn't respond back, having finally broken down as Alex removed it's hand from his ankle.
He'd edge closer to the hole before taking a deep breathe and finally jumping in.
The fall lasted quite a while until he saw a light slowly fade in up ahead.
After a bit, the fall would end as he'd stick the landing and surveyed his surroundings again.
He was in a large circular arena, walls covering the entire area as off to the right he saw a massive group of active puppets all piled up one another as they seemingly pinned down someone.
In front of him was a sight that surprised him as he saw a sword planted into the ground.
A sword that he hadn't expected to see ever again.

It was her sword.
Himeko's sword.
The exact one she had used in her final battle against Sirin a year ago.
Before he could question why it was even here, he heard a booming voice from across the arena.
"You..............why're you here? How'd you get here?"
