Masachika turned around, watching Nagisa slowly approaches the squirming and helpless Yuki.
"G-GET AWAY FROM ME!! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!"
"I BEG YOU, PLEASE SPARE MY CHILD!! PLEASE I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!!!!" Yuki screamed at the top of her lungs, bawling her eyes out as Alya holds her still.
"LET ME GO ALYA!! AIDA!!! LET ME GO!!!" She yelled in vain, trying to break free from Alya's grip.
Masachika screamed towards Alya, "LET HER GO ALYA!!! PLEASE DON'T LET THAT AI TAKES YOU OVER!"
But Alya didn't budge any little bit despite Masachika's plead.
"FUCK!!!!! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!"
Masachika runs past through Nagisa to Yuki's side and grabs the gun holstered on her thigh.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!!! STAY WHERE YOU ARE OR I WILL SHOOT! YOU!!"
"I AM WARNING YOU!! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER OR I WILL KILL YOU!!"
"DON'T DO THAT MASACHIKA!! DON'T GIVE HER AN EXCUSE TO KILL YOU!!" Yuki screamed, trying to stop him from dying.
He aims at the approaching Nagisa, who's unfazed by his threat and continues to approach her anyway.
Desperate, he shot her in panic.
But...
"W-W-W-WHAT... WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!?!!!?!" Masachika screamed, staring at Nagisa with utter disbelief.
She caught the bullet midair using her teeth, grinning as she shows it to him.
"NO!! GET AWAY FROM US!!"
Masachika screamed on the top of his lungs, as he shoots 3 more bullets at her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
However, she caught all the shot rounds in her palm, dropping it to the floor, showing how outclassed they are against her.
But to drives the point home even further, she takes the gun out of Masachika's grip, stick the barrel at her temple, and shoot herself 27 more times right in front of him.
She caught it all except one on purpose, which didn't even graze her skin at all, showing that even if the bullet hits her, it won't harm her.
"S-she... She is a demon..." Masachika said as he drops to the floor in despair.
Nagisa throws the gun away and proceeds to stare down at Yuki while grabbing her chin.
"H-have mercy... please... at least... let my child live..." Yuki pleaded weakly, her eyes teary, her body shivering from fear.
After Nagisa is right in front of Yuki, Alya lets Yuki go.
Nagisa starts inspecting Yuki who's paralyzed with fear.
Masachika, sensing that Yuki is in danger, with his paternal instinct in overdrive, tries to find a way to save her.
Suddenly, he remembers that Alya once said that the aliens hate having their heroes mocked above all else.
And so, he starts screaming on top of his lungs, trying to distract Nagisa and buys Yuki some time, "YOU ALIEN SCUM! YOUR HEROES-"
But before he could finish his sentence, Alya, or rather Aida immediately closes his mouth up.
"MNNNNNNN!!!!!! MNNNGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Masachika squealed as he squirms hopelessly in Alya's lock.
But nothing worked...
"Mnnnnn.... Mghhh..."
Giving up to fate, he accepts the consequences of his foolish actions...
He closed his eyes, trying to spare himself from seeing the horror Yuki is going to suffer, while cursing himself.
"...Forgive me, Yuki."
"My decision has harmed you and our son."
"I sacrificed your wellbeing again selfishly, just like when I left you alone when our parents were getting divorced..."
"I... I wouldn't have suggested this if I knew this is the outcome..."
"...Forgive me, Alya."
"You are now enslaved by the aliens to do their bidding."
"...Maybe, I should have been content with living with you three peacefully..."
"Making love, making jokes at each other, Making ends meet by working a borderline slavery job..."
"Everything... Anything else..."
"Instead of... you know... dreaming about taking down A3..."
"Or allying myself with the aliens..."
"...What was I thinking? I'm such a fool..."
"I'm truly powerless and pathetic..."
"Forgive me..."
...After what seemed like eternity, Masachika dared himself to open his eyes, worried about Yuki's wellbeing after a long silence.
"So, this is how a pregnant human female looks like up close. They have maternal instincts equal to humans from Oracle fleet..." Nagisa calmly said as she gently caresses Yuki's swollen and glowing pregnant belly, inspecting her stretch marks and her belly button that has turned into an outie.
"Hmm... The nanomachines are doing their job properly as well."
"I suppose putting you into such stressful state already counts as harming you. But considering he shot me, I guess we can call it even."
"That being said, his paternal instinct is remarkable as well."
"You both faithfully performed the task I gave you and showed me some good things."
"You both passed."
"Though for the love of all that is good, stop attacking us. It's utter foolishness." She said with annoyed tone while staring at Masachika before returning her gaze at Yuki.
Then, she pats Yuki's belly while saying, "Don't be afraid, young mother. Nothing is wrong. Now calm down."
After that, Nagisa walks back towards her own desk and sits down,
"Aida, I'm giving you clearance to speak now." Nagisa declared.
Upon hearing that, Alya removes Masachika from her grip.
"...I'm sorry, Masachika." Alya said to him.
"Alya... Tell me, what did I inject into Yuki's womb?" Masachika asked her urgently, grabbing her shoulders while staring at her eyes directly.
"Nanomachines for fetus repair and uterus care. Yuki is in huge continuous pain since there are... many abnormalities in her... you know... inbred baby..." She replied.
"This technology is prepared for siblings who wants to marry each other in Oracle fleet. The effect even persists for all of her pregnancies in the future."
"My goodness... Damn aliens even surpassed us in incest..." Masachika commented.
"D-does that mean my son is... unharmed?" Yuki asked weakly, exhausted from earlier events.
"Far from it, it's actually being healed. They do see unborn fetuses as a living being." Alya answered.
"It was a test of trust and a gift of loyalty at the same time."
Yuki leans back on the sofa, sighing in relief, saying "Thank goodness... Thank goodness... My son is safe..."
She caresses her belly, while saying "Please forgive mommy... for gambling with your life...", asking her unborn son wholeheartedly.
Masachika cried tears of relief and quickly stands up, walking towards the sofa and hugs the shaken Yuki, saying "It's alright, Yuki. You were right, the aliens are not malevolent..."
"What matters now is that our son is doing alright."
"...Fucking aliens and their advanced incest techs..." Yuki replied while hugging him back, smiling happily since their son will be alright.
"I was scared shitless... Damn it..."
"Can you guys stop doing that? I feel bad now for doing those things to you." Nagisa said with guilty and awkward tone.
"...You should be." Alya retorted.
"Shut it, Aida." Nagisa replied, before realizing she has forgotten her manners.
"Ah, right. I suppose I should introduce myself now, since you all have proven yourself."
"My name is Nagisa L. Adelheid, leader and representative of the Adelheid fleet. It's a pleasure to finally meet you both properly."
"So... you are not going to enslave us, brainwash us, or breed us?" Masachika asked Nagisa.
"...Just what kind of evil kinky savages do you think we are? Get rid of those filthy assumptions." Nagisa answered with annoyed tone.
"If I wanted to do that, Ms. Alisa here would have already turned into our slave, along with everyone outside of the quarantine zone."
"But she was on your side and restrained me! And I heard you aliens mistreated and exploited humans outside of the Quarantine Zone!!" Yuki said to Nagisa.
"Alya followed Aida's suggestion, nothing more and nothing less. Aida only takes control whenever she's doing things against Oracle fleet or when her brain is incapacitated." Nagisa explained.
"And don't trust whatever Kenzaki Touya has told you. That person is lying. See for yourself, everyone is living well outside of the Quarantine zone." Nagisa said as she slides pictures of humans on Earth living prosperous and healthy on a hologram screen.
"Does that mean he never set foot outside the Barricades?" Yuki asked Nagisa.
"Yes. He lied." Nagisa replied.
"I knew it... I suppose Kenzaki-senpai is really on A3's side after all..." Yuki thought to herself.
"What a huge misunderstanding you both made. Didn't you say it already that we don't have any ill intention?"
Yuki exhaled in relief, and says "Thank God... Thank you..."
Yuki then stands up and bow down in gratitude towards Nagisa despite still suffering from aching pain in her uterus and her knees still shivering from the fear earlier.
"...Thank you for giving my son a better health and life." Yuki said with reverence.
"...I actually saved him, you know. That baby would die hours after birth. Like for fuck's sake, it has no immune system at all!" Nagisa screamed in utter disbelief towards Yuki.
"Like... You dare to perform inbreeding even without this technology..."
"Just what the hell is wrong with you? Like, what were you thinking, woman!?"
"Uh... we all make mistakes in the heat of passion?" Yuki replied.
Nagisa stares at her with utter disbelief. "I can't believe you... Young lady, you sure are reckless and insane."
Masachika, realizing the significance and importance of the injection for his unborn son, bows his head down with gratitude as well. "Thank you for saving my son. I really, really am sorry for showing hostilities towards you!"
"Forgiven. The right to defend yourself is God given. And you were doing it out of compassion and fatherly love." Nagisa declared.
"...Wait, does... does the aliens believes in God?" Yuki asked curiously while fixing her clothes back.
Nagisa leans back on her chair and explained to them patiently with a more laidback tone.
"Of course we are. You think complex life and morality can just come out like that?"
"Like, when you see a beautiful living home or a massive complex colony ship like this, you would think it has a designer and creator."
"And well, we do have a ... ultra-natural deity living with us."
"A water planet that knows everything Photon particles touched."
"We did flood your planet with it and uncover everything on it, including its outrageous corruption level index of nine billion!"
"And it was from more than 50 years ago. Now, it has raised to thirteen billion, even though the total Earth population has been decreased significantly!"
"Be thankful that we have a 'Mercy first' policy."
Masachika and Yuki remember what's written on the gate of this room. It all makes sense now.
"Well, you guys are nothing if not ferocious when it comes to defending your terrible way of life."
"Your military thought they were being betrayed seeing all of their useless plans were leaked and begun killing each other, then blames all those casualties on us."
"When in reality, we just knew it."
"Don't get me wrong, we did eliminate a few people but obviously not 1/4 of human population. That would be the result of the pollutants and infighting from A3."
"Holy- That means we never stood a chance after all... even with Skymolding project and encryptions..." Yuki said in awe and utter disbelief.
"I mean, if not for our deity's omniscience, I doubt we could help Ms. Alisa here to regain her original appearance." Nagisa adds.
"Still, Skymolding project, huh... The vain pride project that fucking polluted the Earth for more than 50 years." Nagisa mentioned with annoyed tone.
"We could clean it in a month but that would ruin everything since our World-forming engines have zero tolerance towards corruption on high performance setting so... we had to set it to slow."
"But don't worry. The cloud generator they set in New Fukuoka is safe. They don't want another embarrassing moment, after all."
"Wait, I thought the war polluted the Earth due to your weaponry?" Yuki asked.
"That's a blatant lie. Both our weaponry and the cryopods we sent to the Earth utilizes Photon to operate and here you are, still kicking and well." Nagisa responded.
"...Damn it, A3 lied again-" Masachika said before realizing, "Well, it should have been expected from them at this point..."
After letting Yuki and Masachika collects themselves, Nagisa asks for their attention. "Now, do any of you have any questions?"
"Yeah... I... want to know everything. I want the truth." Masachika asked her.
"Likewise. I don't know what is right or wrong anymore." Yuki adds, also wishing to know the truth.
Nagisa nods and pressed a button, enlarging the hologram screen.
"Very well. The fact you are all here and completed the task have already proven that you all have decided to commit high treason to A3 and join our cause, anyway." Nagisa said as the room turns dark.
Alya, Masachika, and Yuki sits on the sofa, listening carefully to what she has to say.
More than 50 years ago...
My fleet arrived near Earth after detecting sentient lifeforms on it.
We ran some surveys and analysis by flooding it with Photons in secret, just to find that your planet is really, really behind us.
Meanwhile, it's also riddled with evil, with corruption index of nine billion.
Humanity is in dire need of help, like a falling helpless animal.
Some suggested to end your suffering by sending in the Planet Obliterator but our policy states that we had to try to save you all.
After we appeared in front of everyone, humanity's leaders flocked to us, praising us and welcoming us warmly.
I thought that they are probably just glad that someone is finally here to help.
However, when we addressed the problems, that is, their evils and mistakes that need to be changed and fixed...
Your leaders, either due to their pride being hurt or fear that their power is under threat, decided that we are not welcome on Earth.
Everyone who either agreed with them, bought their lies, or is offended by our statements joined up and formed the Anti-Alien Alliance or A3.
And so, the war started.
However, they soon find themselves outmatched, outsmarted, and outgunned.
They realized that no matter what they planned, we always found out about it.
They begin to suspect each other of betrayal, killing whoever they think were helping us, and poisoned the Earth atmosphere with rushed Skymolding project...
...When in reality, we knew about it due to the help of our nigh-omniscient patron deity.
They blamed everything bad on us, unable to see the beam in their own eyes.
We only counterattacked those who are irredeemable and meant to do harm to us and everyone under them.
Needless to say, they lost. A quarter of this Earth's human population died to their brutality, even more due to poisoning, starvation, malnutrition, and diseases.
In order to prevent more meaningless deaths, we proposed a treaty along with a cover up story for them.
We will give them an isolated territory, the land of Japan, to everyone in A3 and separate them from the rest of the world, making sure they can keep their power.
We also promised to send Cryopods to save everyone from the pollution they made and giving them a just excuse for a truce.
All just to convince A3 supporters to actually use the Cryopods and allowing the World-forming engines to start working.
Removing the leaders would just create a power vacuum and more bloodbath as people races to fill that vacuum.
Filling the leadership roles ourselves would cause A3 loyalists to start another war again in rebellion.
And that's basically how Quarantine Zone comes to be.
"I can't believe it. The reason for that dystopia isn't some complex politics, but rather, simple stubbornness?" Masachika
"I feel stupid for believing A3 at all..." Yuki adds, while closing her eyes and hiding her face in shame in her palm.
"This is the main problem of humanity, their evil heart." Nagisa said, while staring at Yuki.
Yuki realizes what she meant, and quickly defends herself, "...I know I'm part of the Central Cabinet, but I assure you-"
Nagisa shakes her head and cuts her sentence short. "It has nothing to do with that. I'm talking about your vilest crime here." while staring sternly at her belly.
"Your selfishness has caused you to commit multiple evils."
"Yet, you along with your brother and Ms. Alisa are probably the best bet Quarantine Zone has on actually reforming." Nagisa said, picking up Yuki's thrown empty gun and hands it back to her.
Yuki looks down in shame as she receives and holster her gun back.
Masachika intervened and defended his sister, "It's alright. It all stems from my actions during childhood to you."
"Nagisa, she's just a victim of my negligence and incompetence. Please do not condemn her for my fault."
"Big bro..." Yuki said under her breath while staring in admiration towards her compassionate and beloved brother.
"I get it, I get it. You sure are a doting brother spoiling your sister rotten." Nagisa responded while shaking her head.
"Now, Ms. Yuki... Do you seek redemption? Do you seek rewards beyond this world?" Nagisa said and offered to her.
"I guess... I do?" Yuki answered in confusion."
Nagisa begins to propose her deal to Yuki, "If you cooperate with us... In addition of becoming an honorary citizen of Oracle fleet and have every member of your family's age prolonged hundreds of times over..."
"You. your son, your brother, and all of your future children will have a better life and future after we liberate the Quarantine Zone."
"If that's not enough, we will also normalize and legalize sibling marriage just for you."
"I would see it myself that a grand wedding, according to our standard, will be held for you."
Yuki's eyes stretched wide open. Every single one of her offers are too tempting for her lovestruck, young, and unstable maiden mind.
An actual respectable and legal wedding with her brother, great future for their children, and a long life with her beloved brother as a happy family...
It's everything someone who has been abandoned and deprived of familial love would ever want.
And so, without hesitation, Yuki accepts the proposal, returning to her usual joyful and mischievous personality, saying "Yes, yes, and a million percent yes! You get yourself a deal!" while raising her hands to the air in euphoria.
"Excellent choice, Ms. Yuki." Nagisa affirmed her.
Nagisa turns her attention towards Masachika and Alya. "Now, for you Ms. Alisa and Mr. Masachika, my offer extends to you both as well."
"For you, Mr. Masachika... In addition of being included in Ms. Yuki's gift, I offer you license to have many wives along with some dick enhancing technologies."
"...WHY DO YOU OFFER ME THOSE THINGS!?" Masachika screamed in disbelief hearing the rewards she's offering him.
"Let me finish. I will also give you a military grade mech, weapons, a decent bank account, optional custom sexbot parts for Ms. Alisa-"
"...AGAIN, WHY THOSE!?"
"What do you want then?"
"I just... want the truth... And for Alya and Yuki to be safe, and you already offered those, so... thank you for your offer."
"Aren't you a humble one?"
Nagisa smiled as she points toward Alya's head with her index finger.
"Alright, then how if I tell you where Ms. Alisa's other brain part is now?" She offered him.
"...I'm listening." He said to her.
Nagisa then propose to him, "If you agree to cooperate with us, we will do everything to help you secure it."
"In the event of successful retrieval, we will put her brain back together for you."
"...Alright, I'm in." Masachika replied, accepting Nagisa's offer.
"Excellent choice." Nagisa said to him.
"Now... for you, Ms. Alisa... What do you say?" She offered her.
"I'm in. All I want is to be with Masachika and reclaim myself whole."
"...Do you want to have your womb recovered? Reproductive organs and brains are things we are not allowed to replicate, but we do make exceptions at special occasions."
"I want it." Alya said while staring at Nagisa's eyes deeply and grabbing both of her shoulders.
"It's bundled, don't worry." Nagisa said, affirming Alya.
"Okay, you are creeping me out now. Please get your hands off me." She said to Alya while taking her hands off her shoulders.
Alya then remembers that there's something that keeps bothering her. "Lady Nagisa, may I ask what happened during Fires of New Osaka?"
Nagisa replied, "I don't think that's not something I think you should hear now, but..."
Nagisa paused as she stares at Alya's mechanical body, feeling responsible for her current state.
"Well, I think you all deserve an explanation about that."
"I owe you that much, at least."
"Since... I caused this misfortune to you."
