As Masao and the others went back to HQ Masao explained what happened during the events of the mission to take Rio back.
Boss:... Tell me where Familia is at this moment.
Masao: in her room why?
Boss: Aki and Ken leave now
Both of them left out the room and closed the door.
Masao look at the Boss and saw her with a sad look on her face.
Boss: dammit why now...
Masao: Can you explain what going on?
Boss: Masao. Tell me after you saw Familia fell to the ground do you remember anything else?
Masao gave the Boss a look of uncertainty.
Masao: no..... All I remember is this blue energy surrounding me...
Boss: damn... Just like 2 years ago...
Masao: can you please explain what going on?!
The Boss took a deep breath.
Boss: ok Masao listen very carefully because it may involve the world we live in may become a memory. You are a mana guardian.
Masao: wha-
Boss: a servant of mana and a shield to Familia. Familia is a priestess of mana who job is to protect the mana from people who used it to hurt the earth and laid destruction to the land. you Masao are her shield and your role is to protect Familia and hold her hand to the events that will befell both of you.
Masao: what?! Why me?!!!!
Boss: I don't know but I do know that you need to protect Familia...
"From that moment I thought it was all just a dream but really it wasn't in fact it was just the beginning of this crazy journey and what I felt during that time didn't matter."
Masao: tell me how you know all of this...
Boss:...
Masao: TELL ME!
Boss: not at this moment.... I explain more in due time.
Masao:.... I'm going to my room.
Masao open the door and left out the Boss room with a anger expression on his face, as midway across the corridor to his room Masao kick a iron bucket across the corrider
Masao: dammit! Why... What a mana guardian?...
As Masao was leaning toward the wall he saw Familia walking to the hangar
Masao follow Familia. As he walk inside he saw Familia walking toward the Maiden and said unto herself
Familia: "Masao I know your there"
Masao: yeah
Familia: so you want to know what going on? Is that why you're here correct?
Masao: yeah I wanted to know what a mana guardian...
Suddenly an voice echo across the ship.
Boss: everyone need to come here something urgent came up.
Masao and the rest came inside the boss room and saw she was in a stressful mood.
Aki: what is it boss?
Boss: this mission might cause a huge hit to Hondea. The Arcane Empire is marching towards Lass an mana mine town that past lake Vepart which is towards the south of Vio.
Ken: so what do you want us to do?
Boss: you will join the group in this operation. We need two teams Aki and Ken you be on ground and evacuate everyone from the town. Masao and Familia you attack from the air and slow down the troops until the group created the mana barrier.
As Aki and Ken left the Boss stop both Masao and Familia.
Boss: I can tell you don't know how the Maiden control Masao?
Masao: yea...
Boss: Familia can you show him how to pilot the Maiden
Familia: sure
Both Masao and Familia went to the hangar and went towards the head of the Maiden
Familia: open!
The cockpit of the Maiden in it was two seats. Inside the cockpit was water.
Masao: why there water here in the cockpit?
Familia: it mana but in a liquid substance it connect the user to the Maiden controlling it. I want you to jump in Masao
Masao: ok....
Masao jump in one of the seats of the Maiden and suddenly the mana started to weave around Masao changing his clothes to a red jet suit and the same happened to Familia when she entered the Maiden.
Familia: relax your clothes is still there it just been modified to let you be connected to the Maiden.
The cockpit closed on them and modules started to appear everywhere around the cockpit.
Familia: Boss you there?
Suddenly a screen appeared showing the Boss face.
Boss: ah I see you got Masao started then
Masao: what happening?!
Boss: Familia will explain everything to you just believe in her.
The hangar door open and Familia closed the screen.
Familia: boosters active, mana flow stabilizing we're ready for launch.
The Maiden eyes glow a green light and slide out the ship.
"First time ever flying through the air to be honest it was terrifying the first time I ever did it but it was not that afraid with Familia by my side"
Meanwhile
Arcane Empire
(King chambers)
The Emperor was in his seat and on front of him was a man. the man himself was wearing armor around him, a black cape with the golden symbol of the empire which was a sword with a human and dragon hand reaching for the sword, two gigantic blades connect to his back and his steel helmet with two horns and had the shape of a dragon in his hands.
Emperor: Zamea the white wolf of the North have been defeated by this Masao.
I have called you here because of the march headed toward Lass maybe interfered by this so call nuisance. I want you to stop him at all costs I have you used the Leviatano to quickly head there.
The man slowly put his helmet on.
Red mana started to appear around him and his eyes glow a ominous red
Man: By my hands I will slay him by my Emperor name and grace. They don't call me Adol the judge executioner...
Masao: To be continued!!!
