Arielle's frown deepened.
"When I was 6 years old, something big happened in the city, I don't remember what it was but a guardian of our's died and the next day after...mom vanished all of the sudden, without warning, I looked for her everywhere but she was gone. I was thinking that maybe because of that event she may of disappeared or probably because of everything else that's been happening in the world may of motivated her into leaving, she must of had a good reason to leave and she may be somewhere safe." Arielle guessed.
"...Are you...sure about that?" Cassidy asked, looking skeptical about this scenario.
"Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't...forget something like that." Arielle muttered, she sounded uncertain herself.
"Do you remember the last time you talked to her? Or have seen her before she left?" Futakuchi asked.
Arielle glanced away from the viewers, placing her hand on her head.
"I...I-"
For a just a little second, static covered the screen before Arielle appeared on the footage, looking worried.
"...I don't know...I don't-"
Static again, it lasted two seconds before cutting back to her.
"I don't remember." Arielle said, she was slightly trembling as the air in the room turned tense all of the sudden.

"By chance, can you remember what city you were in?" Omalley asked

"Of course I do, I was in Camelot, where else would I be?" Arielle asked, still struggling to remember.
"So you remember that but not remember what happened with your mom or why she left?" Hermes asked.
Arielle shook her head before her eyes suddenly shrunk, turning grey again.
"No." Arielle spoke quietly, almost like a whisper.
"You know, we have a girl with us who's entire schtick is to creep into people's memories. Maybe you can let her take a good look in your noggin and see what's-" Wallace offered.
"NO!" Arielle shouted, throwing her head in the air as she placed both of her hands on it and the tablet fell before the screen was covered by static.
All of the sudden, the entire room began to tremble as cracks appeared on the windows and whoever was wearing glasses, they cracked aswell and the light was flickering.
"Oh, Jesus, what have we done?" George asked, looking concerned.
"I think we broke her." Salazar said, calmy despite the circumstances.
A large crack appeared on the table in the middle, extending towards the end and the same fissure appeared on the floor in the middle.
"Well, I can spot a obvious red flag when it's waving right in my face soooo, see ya outside the crash site, gators." Griffith waved as he teleported out.
Arthur grabbed onto his head, letting out a pained gasp before he collapsed on the table.
"M-Mister Smith!?" Reginald asked.
A loud distorted voice came from the static covered screen, but the letters of the words were switched and din't come out right:
O U Y I R N D U E M Y I F E I L, I L V E S E T M R O N

"Your... Due my life? Live set Ron?" Micah squinted, having a hard time deciphering it.
"This isn't good." Owen said the obvious, while Mont stared at his now busted glasses- looking startled.
Bonita reached into her pocket and pulled out another pair of glasses to replace her broken ones, only for those to be broken as well, she was squinting, with one hand to her head and a pained expression on her face.
Uriel had put his hand to his heart, looking physically hurt. "Guh... You all could stand to be more sensitive."
"Says the empath." Sophia rolled her eyes.
"A... Arielle?" Beatrice asked, "Are you... still there...? I'm... I'm sorry if they... hurt your feelings."

Suddenly, a thin figure could be seen through the static.
It was hard to tell how they looked like but they were laid against the floor on their back and something sharp was shoved into their chest.
"Who is that?" Noah asked, looking freaked out by what's going on.
"Enough." A unfamiliar voice said from the screen.
The room stopped shaking, the light stopped flickering and the static faded away, showing footage of floating blue skinned feet hovering above the floor as the tablet got lifted off the floor without actually touching it and placed back into Arielle's hands who's eyes changed back to green and was looking up at the floating person offscreen.
"These queries are causing you internal stress, it is best you terminate this exchange of words and resume your royal duties." The voice said.
"Oh, you're right. Thank you, Similan. You can go now." Arielle nodded, as if nothing happened.
She turned her attention back to the people in the room.
"Right, so, what were we...what happened here?" Arielle asked, blinking after seeing the state of the room.

"...stuff, stuff happened." Marick said

Arielle tilted her head again, blinking in confusion.
"....Ooookay." Arielle said, sounding unsure.
She then coughed into her fist before slapping her hands together.
"Well, it's been nice talking to all of you like this, we offered each other quite a lot of insight, din't we? Also, that 100 Kings war story is coming up soon, any theories or predictions about what might happen in there?" Arielle asked.
"Besides probably seeing a lot of our ancestors and some guys in this room who will turn out to be way older beyond their 80's, not really." Duncan shrugged.
"Really? There is quite a lot of mysteries surrounding that war. Like, the relationship between the Gods, are they like co-workers with mutual respect or are they a giant family and they're each other's siblings? Were they mortals themselves or they were born that way? How did the war originally begin? And other stuff like that little cloaked man with the weird blade, the Tartarus demon who attacked 0 was in contact with one of the Goddess of Light's daughters, not to mention those 2 other maidens that appeared that were never brought up by Minami or anyone else till now, like what's their connection to all of this and how relevant they might be in today's affairs? That singing maiden that Kita fought in Soulless World said quite a lot of interesting stuff, the way she said it, Kita and Minami might not be sisters at all, both of their eye colours were switched in 0 and now that I think about it, that little maiden had the cat eyes while Minami din't at that time and what kind of Epilogue's would Kita and the 2 maidens have if they had the chance to summon them? There is quite a lot going on for the original maidens that we don't know about yet, don't you think?" Arielle asked.

"Ah, someone brought that up after all..." Minami commented, awkwardly.
"Is switching eye colours even a thing that can happen?" Eric asked, "I've seen people's eyes start glowing or changing colour sometimes, but not being switched with other people."
"Regardless, it's clear there's more to be explored regarding those events. Rest assured, we're all going to find out the answers to those questions in due time." Uriel smiled.
"...That's not really reassuring." The Vigilante commented.

Virgil looked at Minami weirdly.
"Well, I have some stuff to do and I'm sure we will see each other again soon. And I'm certain I will have the chance to meet the new Omnipotents from 4 and other people who might join them in their first adventure, I hope we will become friends and cooperate with each other nicely." Arielle smiled, setting her gaze on the group from the Grinning Ghoul story.
"...I suppose so." Isabella muttered, holding her shattered glasses.
"Bye everyone!" Arielle waved, as she reached out to her tablet and turned off the footage, ending the transmission.
After she did, the table split in half and collapsed on the floor.
"Yup, this is exactly why I suggested not to answer her call." Mage sighed.
"...Hm." Zoey hummed, placing her hand on her chin, deep in her thoughts.
Arthur stood up straight, placing his hands on his head, groaning.
"My, my, that was a nauseating headache, I can't seem to remember what happened exactly. Blast this old age of mine." Arthur muttered as he sat back in his seat.
Futakuchi, adjusting her cracked glasses, looked at everyone else.
"The girl was clearly showing signs of repressed trauma that she was exposed to at a young age, she must of been so strongly affected by it that she pushed any memory relating to that event into the deepest depths of her brain and forgot about it but once she was confronted by it, her subconscious did it's best to push those memories back in their place before they could resurface back. It doesn't entirely explain her odd ability of defying physics but that girl is clearly living in her own reality that can be shattered easily like glass if we push the wrong buttons." Futakuchi explained.
"Tch, after all that talk, she throws a temper tantrum and demolishes a entire room because of her mommy issues. The little girl should put her tiara down, play with her dolls in her room and let the adults handle saving the world." Jacque scoffed, folding his arms.
Roxanne removed her broken glasses, letting them shatter on the floor as she picked up a new pair from her jacket and put them on, looking equally annoyed.
"Agreed." Roxanne said, scowling at the screen as if Arielle was still there.

And after the third part of the Song story.
"Huh, that whole Arielle thing made me forget about the Songs. That was a whole lot of holy shit. And we know quite a bit about Beatrice and the Vigilante." Wallace commented, adjusting his glasses.
Grace frowned, looking at Beatrice and Olivia with sympathy in her eyes.
Rin just crossed her arms and closed her eyes, she had nothing more to say to this.
"Gee, what a way to go out, huh? Sucks to be the one to carry someone else's dirty laundry and pay for it too, old man?" Griffith asked, leaning against his chair while grinning at Vincent.
Hatmehit was about to speak but her head along with her neck did a 180 rotation, not a single sound of cracking her neck was heard since she lacked bones and stared at a familiar lavender cat with the purple scarf who was sitting on the windowsill, staring intently at the screen, it looks like it's been here ever since Arielle appeared on the screen and kept staring at it even after the Song family story was being shown.
The moment it made eye contact with Hatmehit and realized that it's presence was noticed, it jumped out through the window, followed up by the sound of a few trash cans being knocked down.
Hatmehit rotated her head back to the way it was and shrugged it off as she paid attention to Stewart.
"It's interesting that males from the human species can also have passionate connections with each other, kind of like my tribe except we don't express our love through lip contact." Hatmehit smiled.
"I know I'm probably gonna sound like a dick but, am I the only one who doesn't feel sorry for Nicole? After what she did to Charlotte by sending those animals, no offense to you guys from 12, to kill her and her regretting it later does not make up for it, especially after the act was over." Eliza pointed out.
"And yet, you were pleasant with Rebecca being a part of your circle of friendship and she was a former member of Red Moon, the same group that took your sister's life. If you are upset because Charlotte has a relevant connection to your family which might be why you can't have sympathy for the Song child, then perhaps you should be a little more subtle with your hypocrisy." Abraham said.
"Rebecca was being manipulated by your boss when she was young, no one manipulated or brainwashed Nicole into doing that, she killed her own childhood friend who wanted payback for what her family did to her and her mom. Heck, if Slyfer and Kita din't knock at her door, she and those other guys from that old Fawn's group probably would of sent some goons to kill my niece and nephew and their friends to save her own ass." Eliza said.

Vincent glared at Griffith, moving to the edge of his seat to get some distance between them.
Stewart looked at Hatmehit, confused. "...What? Don't say things like that, it's weird."
"I think we can understand that someone's past and their situation may explain their decisions without excusing them." Uriel said, with his hands clasped together. "This is entire story is full of situations like that."
"Okay, I know she killed me and I should be vilifying her, but she was totally being brainwashed." Charlotte leaned back, "That family threw her into that situation and groomed her to lead them since the moment they got her back from Layla. F was talking to her and leading her on since she was like, 4.
Now, I still think you should be shitting on her, but don't be inaccurate about it."
"Or just don't shit on me at all, I was suffering throughout that entire story!" Nicole exclaimed.

"Still, does this mean you're gonna get dragged into that whole pile of mess in 13? More the merrier but I'd rather we don't have more situations with whatever your next move is. The Leviathan is a giant problem on it's own, we don't need more in addition." Hermes asked.

"Well, uh-" Nicole paused, "...I don't actually know what I'm going to do next." She admitted, clearing her throat awkwardly.

"Well there was a meeting of the branching off of a smaller uniguard who would stay in the other universes, led by belock while the main part heads into 13. So either that conversation had not happened yet, or did already happen. So she may end up in 13, or wont be." Gateway said
Moments later, the ground had started to shake, only slightly, a strange energy filled the air, glimmers of light filled with room.
The lights turned off, and when they came back on majority of the other people in the room were no longer at the table, they were faded out, and in the dark, away from the lit up table, and while they could talk to eachother, they couldnt talk to the people now at the table. The only people there were Omalley, Lynch, Nikko, Esp, Akarusa, and Fuzen.
On the main screen, it wa sshowing events of the series, past battles and moments, as if time was rewidning, ad it got faster and faster, until it stopped on a shot of newrum state city, at night.
A almost mystical feeling was felt in the room. text appeared on the screen. -Do You Remember?-
"There really were not alot of us back then. It seems like the world was so small back then, looking back atleast." Omalley said

"Honestly, I din't really expect that things would go beyond the stuff we did back when. I expected that this would be a one time thing and that's it." Akarusa shrugged.
"Still, it was quite a journey back then. A rather short journey compared to the current journey's but still a worthy experience." Nikko guessed.
"...I don't really have fond memories of what we went through. I din't even think I would ever be involved in anything after I died." Fuzen admitted.
"...How did you Morsaga even let you out of the afterlife? Did Nyx have a hand in that?" Akarusa asked.
"That's a tale for another time." Fuzen said, dropping a obvious hint.
