IF couldn't believe it, she doesn't want to believe it.

The thing... emerged by the call of the blue haired boy.

Is that thing? The essence and an embodiment and a personification of death. A FRIEND?!

This can't be happening.

"IF! Is everything alright in there!" Histoire called within the recesses of her mind.

"Get us out of here!" She yelled within her mind

Then she heard something whirring up, she looked and saw the boy, activating the sword within his hand, he aimed for the cords that bounded the remaining goddesses and sliced them. Releasing them.

"What are you doing!" She yelled to the boy as he began picking them up.

"Saving them of course!" He yelled.

"Why?!" She countered back at him.

"Because I'm not going back to save them again. And is one not enough."

He... He's right.

"Well? Are you just gonna stand there and do nothing!" He shouted at her.

Knocked out of her stupor and regaining her stupor. She rushed and picked up her friend Neptune off the ground and hefted her on her shoulders.

"When is the tome gonna bust us out." Realization struck her face as she remembered.

"IF!" Histoire yelled in her mind, checking for status.

And a breath of relief was heard as she knew, that they are still alive.

"We got all of the CPUs Histy, get us out of here."  She requested.

"Unfortunately IF, I can't get them all out."

Wait.... What!

"Say that again Histy?"

"I can't get all of you out there, there's not enough Shares."

Dammit... Just another damper, this is madness. Getting the candidate is one thing, but seeing a spearman, a red angel, and a bloody steampunk gunner coming out from a boy's head is another story.

"IF! is their something wrong?"

She only gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"Blue." She sighed as she faced him. "We can't get them out of here."

And the look on his face clearly shows that he is not going through it.

"We are not going back for them." He said sharply. "Because the next time we went back here! They will be as good as dead."

"But I do have an idea." He suggested.

His eyes went away from the girl and focused on the female embodiment of death.

"Reaper!" He called out to the death persona.

She tilted her head a bit in order to face her summoner, not minding the axe blade cleaving on her shoulder and the black ichor splashing everywhere.

After all. She is too focused on him

"Can you get them out of here?" He asked her.

He showed her the Four Goddesses and begged for something that she can do.

She pouted however, but carried on with her summoner's orders as she raises four coffins. And not forgetting to shoot the automaton's head off.

Chains flew and gathered the Four Goddesses, making sure they we're at least in a comfortable position as they we're set inside.
