Sam opened his eyes at the sound of his phone's alarm. Lifting himself up he stretched his arms while yawning, only to slump forward a moment later. "I feel like shit…" he said, rubbing his eyes before grabbing his glasses. Same as the last time one of the Valkyries got injured he spent the night in his lab. Falling asleep on the desk wasn't that comfortable of an experience leaving him with a stiff neck that probably won't go away for the next few days. Cursing his luck he picked up his tablet and…-

Cracks spread through the black veil starting from the giant eye which had been penetrated by the blast from Zero Five's Proton Canon. A moment later it shattered, pieces falling one after the other revealing the stars above. Zero Three's quiet whisper reached the ears of the other two causing their lips to curve into smiles. "WE WON!!!" The young Valkyrie shouted, her excitement exuding as she threw her weapons into the air causing them to return to the form of a case. "That was a tough battle."…

With the three Zero Five clones in the way, Nine had no hope of shooting the giant eye. The purple light that washed over them performed some sort of scan copying the abilities of the Valkyries and incorporating them into the creations. The new versions were able to stop Nine's bullets, and looking at the pose they took as they did so, they might even be capable of using the force field to its full potential. "Five!" Zero Three shouted, igniting her propellers and spreading her wings. "Get the cannon!…

The world was suddenly engulfed in darkness. The sun was setting so it shouldn't have been a surprise, however looking at the sky it was easy to guess nothing about what's happening was natural. For starters it was way too sudden, then there is the fact that no stars could be seen above them. A loud boom resounded as the Valkyries activated their propellers and took off from the scene. It was the right course of action in this situation. Whatever it is that caused the sudden change it was large enough to…

"Are those… people?" When Nine said it something suddenly clicked in their heads. Another look at the strange glitching silhouettes revealed a much clearer vision of the actions they were performing. Even though the city is deserted, the silhouettes were acting the way people would if things were normal. Some were walking around, stopping to check traffic lights even if they aren't working, others were sitting in front of restaurants and cafes even though they're close with no tables or chairs outside.…

"Nine, Five. I've detected something." The moment they heard the young Valkyrie's voice the other two exited the shop as well. Each of them took her case in hand and transformed it into a weapon while carefully surveying the surroundings. They didn't bother asking whether she was mistaken or not. Same as everything else their eyes were superior to those of humans and if one of them said that she had detected something then something was definitely there. "What direction?" Asked Zero Five. "Thirty…

While Sam was having his meeting with the commander the three Valkyries departed for their usual patrol. Today they were aiming to go beyond the city they found the day before expanding their range further to make sure no Calamities were lurking in the vicinity. "Hey, how about we stop by the city for a bit?" Zero Three asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Nine's voice came from the communication device sounding somewhat tired. Zero Five added. Today the young Valkyrie was the one responsible…

"You're raising the level of my security clearance?" Sam said, doing his best to hide his true reaction. "In this base at least." Alice said with a smile. "I want you to keep an eye on the weapons and make sure they aren't showing any wierd signs." "Aren't you being too paranoid? I don't think they would be able to function normally if there is a bug in their AI." "Well, this is just a safety precaution. We don't want anything catching us by surprise." "Not that we could do much even if we knew." Sam…

"We lost… the second base?" Sam was speechless. The shock from the news he had just heard was just too much. "Surely you've seen footage of it before, right?" Alice said. "Jörmungandr." "The giant sea serpent…" "Yes. Three days ago it suddenly left the north Atlantic ocean and invaded France. The second base was preparing for such an attack for years, with seven Valkyries being stationed there, however after a ruthless battle they were all wiped out." "But you said-" "Jörmungandr was heavily…

Once the examination was done and the report was sent, Sam's day went on as usual, except for him having to stop by his room to shower and change his clothes. He spent the afternoon reading a book then met with Shizuru for dinner. Alice didn't call him that night, which he thought was odd, however he doubted that she would commit suicide just because her engagement was broken so he he went to bed without checking on her. After a night of sound slumber morning soon came. Same as the day before he went…
