The Final Chance

Chapter 16: In Preparation

That day went by as usual as another simple and honestly quite boring meeting held by Histoire took place.

It was mainly a debriefing on what happened yesterday with Arfoire being revived and stronger than before along with Alex and Alex Õ battle.

After more brief conversations, Histoire had dropped a bombshell as he revealed that Kurome control of the graveyard was growing too far out of hand and action must be taken immediately.

With that, she said that in 2 days, they'd barge into the area and attempt to take down Kurome once more.

That left one day of preparation which was tomorrow.

With that, Histoire bid everyone farewell and wished them good luck in 2 days.

Alex immediately went home after that for rest.

Even after chugging down tons of coffee in the morning, he was still VERY tired from the fight.

He didn't think the hangover of using the gate's full power would be this severe but it was hitting him hard.

He eventually made it back to his apartment room and absolutely no one was home as usual for the past few weeks.

He was little upset about always coming back home alone but if anything he brought that upon himself.

He had kept all the CPU business to himself and didn't telp anyone, not even his mom.

Though it was best to get some mental help, he just didn't wanna get them involved into an issue that didn't involve them cause honestly it didn't.

Kurome didn't affect time so Akari clearly had no reason to get involved. She hadn't attacked the Black Jacks at all so Jackie had no reason to be involed, same with Hyperion.

Legitimately no one else had a right to get involved unless they were affected, at least, that's how Alex thought about it.

Being home alone again, he just walked up to his room and slept immediately.

The Next Day

Turns out the hangover must've been really strong since Alex had slept the entirety of yesterday afternoon and woke up this morning.

On the plus side, he no longer felt extremely tired and was back to normal.

Though this rest is short lived as today was the day of preparation before tomorrow's invasion.

Alex got out of bed and walked into the living room to see, nobody.

He wasn't suprised.

Jackie always left to Base Kamno early, his mom and Yae were always out and about early as well as Rita, and he wasn't gonna wait for Kaitlyn to make up.

'If they're gonna live with me then the least they could do is wait for me to wake up and greet them.' Thought Alex who was slightly annoyed.

He was gonna go into the city either way but they still could've at least waited to leave.

Regardless, he left the apartment room and headed off to downtown Lastation.

On he was in downtown, he got a tap on the shoulder and turned to see Kunsil.

"How unusual to see you outside of Lowee." Said Alex to Kunsil as he shrugged.

"Isn't that rare kid. Anyways, I'm here to pick up something from Blanc from Noire. Apparently it's something every main CPU will have for the raid tomorrow. Blanc didn't say what it was so it's most likely a suprise."
