( Yuuki's POV )
As soon as our Gears and ships took to the sky we heard an emergency alarm, that new alarm was the presence of the BETA lasser-class Luxcius.
Those black-eyed bastards could take out our fleet in a few shots so they were priority, we were receiving three different signals so I told the sisters to split up, they gave a short affirmative response and we flew to the source of the signals.
The BETA lasers came at high speed but our shields could tank a direct hit, and the IS's specialty was rapid air maneuvers so we had no problems reaching the enemy, and when I saw them I didn't hesitate to gun them down.
I was going to report that I eliminated the enemies on my side when suddenly the cockpit of my Gear was pierced by some flying blades, I flew backwards while the thought that I had experienced this before entered my head, and when I saw the enemy who had attacked me, I was somewhat surprised.
In front of me was the same world traveler that I had met during my adventure with Ashley in that spanish village, the one with long silver hair and a long katana in his hand, he was more whole than I remember leaving him, but he wasn't in great condition, his skin was pale and his eyes had turned black, and he was very quiet, but I didn't think much of his situation and I put a bullet in him.
The Gears' ammunition exploded all between his shoulders and what was left of his body fell back on the ground.
I left my gear and was going to analyze the enemy's body but at that moment I received a worrying message from the sisters through my Gear's communications system.
Tatenashi: [ Yuuki, I need some help, I'm facing someone with a long Katana, no matter how many times I put him down he keeps reforming.]
Kanzashi: [ You too? Yuuki, what do we do now? ]
Upon receiving the girls' messages I felt something behind me and I activated my bone tails to stop an incoming katana swing, abd with the katana immobilized I quickly turned around, what Tatenashi had said turned out to be true and the enemy had completely regenerated his head, not letting that worry me I punched a hole in his chest and I learned another disturbing characteristic of the enemy.
He didn't have a heart or any other internal organs, he was an empty shell, according to Tatenashi, continuing to fight won't achieve anything so I summoned one of Thanatos' coffins and threw the body in there, it's better to leave this to professionals like Eu.
I returned to my Gear and sent a message back to the girls.
Yuuki: Tatenashi, Kanzashi, wait for me, I'll take care of these reanimated bodies.
I opened a portal to where Kanzashi was, I flew my gear through the portal and I grabbed the enemy that Kanzashi was facing, then immediately opened another portal to Tatenashi, grabbed the last enemy with my other hand and then threw the two into the same coffin as before.
Kanzashi went through the portal and when the three of us were together again it seemed that the danger had passed and we started talking.
Tatenashi: Immortal triplets, have you encountered anything like this before Yuuki?
Yuuki: I can't say that I have, but I think we're dealing with clones here.
Kanzashi: Is that more common than immortal triplets?
Yuuki: I'd love to stay and discuss that, but we still have work to do.
The girls and I exchanged a nod and we flew back into the battle.

( Saeko's POV )
When Yuuki told me to take care of another hive, I excitedly jumped into the mission, happy to take on another decent fight, and I was flying close to the ground with the IS light armor that Yuuki had created.
The Kabans were not a threat to us so I thought this attack was completely made by the enemy leader, Biba, but when I approached the station wall, some portals began to open all around the station, forming a kind of ring of portals.
It seems that the other world travelers consider him a valuable collaborator.
I flew over the ring and some BETAs jumped out of there to attack me, I swung my sword around me and cut the giant claw that tried to catch me, the BETAs came in waves towards the station and towards our advancing forces, I was tempted to stay and fight but I had my mission.
I left this in the hands of the others and before I flew over the wall, I saw a wave of petals of Glintstone light, this was a special magic of Felli, as devastating as it was beautiful, when the BETAs marched towards them without giving them importance, they were stopped when a petal made contact and created a chain of explosions that swept all enemies marching away from the station.
That was the last thing I saw before crossing the wall and standing in front of the rampaging hive, at that moment a group of three hunters appeared in front of me to try to stop me, our loyal maid Sakuya was among them and when she saw me she grabbed one of her knives and buried it in the side of one of the hunters' head.
Hunter: damn gray skin, I knew you couldn't be trusted.
The other hunter, a man with a face mask took out a pair of kukri-like knives, he swing them at Sakuya and I stood in front of her, With my katana I went through his knives as if they were made of paper, then I cut at the level of his shoulders and when I sheathed my katana his body separated into two parts that fell to the ground.
Then I turned around and handed Sakuya the vaccine injection and a test tube with Yuuki's blood, to fix the hive attacking the station.
