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...
The feeling in his body would slowly return to Alex as he twitched his fingers for a bit before slowly standing up.
He look around to see that he was in an empty dark void that seemed endless which confused him.
'Is this the afterlife? Not quite as welcoming as I would've imagined.' Thought the boy.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of fire crackling not too far ahead of him as he looked in that direction.
Once facing where the sound was coming from, he noticed a faint light source up ahead as trailing from it were burnt, broken off pieces of wood which were clear signs of a campfire.
He walked towards the source and upon reaching it, he noticed two logs for sitting on the left and right of the campfire.
Upon sitting down on the left log, he heard a voice next to him.
"About time you showed up. I was starting to feel a little lonely." Said a female voice.
Alex looked off to the right as his eyes widened a bit upon seeing who it was.

It was her.
It was Himeko.
Alex remained silent for a moment as Himeko chuckled a bit.
"Cat got your tongue kid? By the way, nice hole ya got there." Said the redhead as Alex looked down and saw the wound where the debris had stabbed through him.
"Huh. Didn't know that was still there." He said with an awkward chuckle.
"I assume you have some things you'd like to ask me right? Go ahead. I'm all ears. We've got plenty of time." Said Himeko as Alex nodded.
He began to think on what he wanted to ask until he came up with something.
"I wanna know your tale. Your story. What led you to this moment?" He asked.
Himeko remained quiet for a bit before signing to herself.
"Geez. Where do I begin? I'll spare you the boring details and get into the important stuff." She said as Alex nodded.
"Alright." He said.
"Truth be told, I didn't wanna become a Valkyrie. At least, not in my early years. From elementary to college I was just an ordinary girl who attended to her studies. I always had a fascination with exploring the stars. So much so that I attended the California Institute of Technology's AeroSpace and Engineering Program. While there, I was taught by two people you currently know. Sovereign of Anti-Entropy Welt Yang, and Dr. Einstein." Explained Himeko.
