It had been a few hours since Alex and Neptune had their encounter with Scar.

Since then, Neptune was able to self heal most of her range and simply wrapped bandages around her abdomen while Alex had to keep his left arm up with a sling due to his left shoulder being out of commission for a while.

Right now, Alex, Neptune, and Nepgear sat on the couch with IF standing to the side as Histoire was in front of them.

"I see. It all makes sense now. He managed to escape Ishval during this incurring revolt against them. Due to him seeing so many of his people getting killed, his reason for killing State Alchemists is justified." Said Histoire.

"Like hell it is!" Shouted Alex as he stood up.

"There's no justification for killing people who aren't directly involved with it! He's just dressing his ugly lust for vengeance in the mantle of his god and calling himself an agent of justice!"

"Still, the fact is, he's coming at you with full force. You can't let yourself be killed for his cause. So, Alex, what're you going to do now?"

"I'm gonna keep moving. I can't just sit around as long as I'm still alive. Of course, I know my limits so I promise I'll stay out until I'm recovered." He said as Histoire nodded as she flew out.
































Three Weeks Later

"H-Hey! What's going on here?" Asked Alex as he happened to come by a crime scene surrounded by policemen.

IF was also there and just walked up to Alex as she didn't speak but just pointed in front of to show Compa kneeling next to a child as the boy clung to the sheets as he sobbed for his mom.

"That makes 5." Said IF.

"5? 5 of what?" Asked Alex.

"There's a serial killer on the loose. It's claimed 5 lives. All females."

"Hasn't investigations found anything yet?" Asked a policeman.

"Don't blame them." Said IF.

Alex stared at the young boy who was crying over the presumed dead body of what Alex assumed was his mother.

'I know how it feels kid.' Thought Alex.

"Come on. It's time to go." Said Compa as he stood up to pull the boy away as the boy struggled in Compa's grasp as he eventually pulled off the covers showing the mother's dead body.

Alex immediately grew a horrified face and wide eyed as the mother's dead reminded Alex of his own mother as he got flash backs of his mom's dead body.

He kept on getting visions until his breathe became ragged.

IF noticed immediately.

"Alex? You okay?"
