----- December 8th, Morning, Somewhere in a Desert Planet -----

In the arid sands of a desert planet, the hammer knight could be seen dragging her device uphill, looking rather battered up with her clothes all torn up after fighting a giant sand worm.

Vita: Dammit… You completely trashed the knight outfit that Hayate gave me. Well, the clothes will heal, and I got a decent amount of pages, so I guess it's okay.

Suddenly, one of her shoes snapped open and she was about fell on the hot sand. She was mentally prepared for the impact but was met with nothing but instead she felt as though someone was carrying her in princess-style.

??????: Seriously Vita-chan. You really should know how to take better care of yourself when dealing with this sort of job.

She looks up to see someone clad in white, black, red and blue full body armor.

Vita immediately jumps away as she weakly points her device towards the stranger

Vita immediately jumps away as she weakly points her device towards the stranger.

Vita: Who the hell are you!? And how do you know my name!?

??????: Seriously? Who else do you know that princess carries you?

She took a second to think of anyone in particular before responding.

Vita: Well I have one person in mind who does it ever so frequent… Wait... don't tell me!?

Nevada: Bingo! It's me! Nevada Noel! Took you a while to figure it out.

Vita: Whoa, that sure is quite an armor you got there. Where'd you get it?

Alicia: By Unison with me of course~

Vita: H-Huh!? There's someone else inside you!? Who's in there!?

The light envelopes the armored boy to reveal two individuals appear from it, both wearing their school uniforms. Vita immediately goes on edge when she saw the elder Testarossa.

Vita: W-What is SHE doing here!? And where did your armor go?

Alicia: You can rest easy there Vita-chan. I'm the one who helped protect Shamal-san when she was using the Book of Darkness to destroy the Bureau's barrier yesterday, remember?

The knight took a moment to remember what happened yesterday.

Vita: Oh yeah, I did overheard Shamal said that the "other Testarossa" who just so happens to be a friend to Nevada saved and protected from some metallic creature of sort.

Alicia: Yup! That's me! Alicia Testarossa at you service!

Vita: Alicia, huh? Well… thanks for rescuing her. I don't know what would become of us if she were to be caught at that moment. And you still haven't answer my other question yet.

Alicia: Oh about that. This would take quite a while to explain. Why don't we walk around while we talk and here.

Alicia cast a basic healing spell on Vita's wounds as the hammer knight felt more at ease.
