"And I'm here to ask you why were you in a Dark World" Farah said as she looks at them with a dull face.
"DarkWorld?" Merci said
"It seems your still injured even after two weeks" Farah said with a hint of curiosity and disappointment
Everyone noticed the curiosity and disappointment in her voice, giving them more questions of who is this person (fallen angel) sitting on Merci's bed
"Were you the one who helped me" Merci said
"Yes, I am" Farah said
Farah raises her hand towards Merci which raises Merci and her team's guard. A faint glow radiates from Farah's hand, Merci guards herself, Nono, Isamu and purple haired guy ran to block what they thought was an attack. Merci to glow the same as the faint glow as Farah's hand for two seconds then stops glowing as Farah lowers her hand. Merci opens he eyes and lowers her arms to see she's fine, she also notices she doesn't feel pain from her injuries.
"You should be fine now" Farah said as she lies down on Merci's bed her wings unfolding and shrinking until their small wings on her back radiating the same shadow aura as before.
Merci, Nono, Isamu and the purple haired guy look at Farah with curiosity and slightly lowers their guard. Merci walks up to Farah cautiously.
"Thank you for healing me" Merci said cautiously staying 5 meters away from Farah
"It's no problem but I still want to know why were you in the DarkWorld in the first place" Farah said sitting up and looking directly at Merci with her cold blood red eyes.
Merci looked at Farah with confusion.
"Why do you keep saying I was in a Dark World all I remember is splitting from the others at the training exercise" Merci said
"Really?" Farah said, Merci feels like Farah's cold eyes are piercing her soul
"Looks like you're not lying huh" Farah said closing her eyes and lies back down
"Can you all calm down I'm not going to hurt any of you" Farah said kicking her dangling feet
Merci, Nono Isamu and the purple haired guy look at Farah as she lies on Merci's bed.
"'Sigh' your right maybe I need to explain huh" Farah whispers to herself too quiet for everyone to hear
Farah sighs "Fine, whatever shut up already!" She shouts while clenching her head
Nono puts her hand on her chin
'Why was she shouting and who was she talking to' Nono thought 'More importantly how did she get past the academy's security system'
"Let me ask you Miss Endelove" Farah said
"Yes - wait how do you know my name" Merci ask surprised
"Well master told me your name so it be easier and even told me the names of your teammates" Farah said sitting up
"She's Nora Moondrif" Farah said pointing at Nono
Nono (actual name Nora) is surprised by the fact that Farah knows her name.
"Your Isamu Kōjin" Farah said pointing at Isamu.
Isamu raises his guard trusting Farah less.
"Your name is Xuán Yīng Tiēn Xīn" Farah said pointing at the purple haired guy.
Xuán Yīng raises his guard.
"And finally Merci Endelove the one I'm bonded to" Farah said with a sigh.
Merci, Nora, Isamu and Xuán Yīng look at Farah with suspicion.
'First she gets past academy's security now she knows our names who is she's They thought.
"Anyway do you remember what happened after you split from your group two weeks ago" Farah said.
"No, all I is getting split from everyone then waking up in the infirmary" Merci said
"Well it seems your not lying " Farah said "So I'll ask my master about what the problem could be"
Farah stood up and towered over Merci, Nora, Isamu and Xuán Yīng, she's a head taller than the tallest of the team (the tallest being Isamu and Xuán Yīng with them being the same height). Farah turns around, Merci notices wet marks on her bed that seems to be from blood than she notices blood constantly dripping from Farah's halo onto her hair.
"Sorry about your bed I can't control if this thing bleeds or not and I can't control how much it bleeds" Farah said pointing at her own halo "But I can fix this"
Farah raises her hand in front of her the blood stain disappears like it was never there.
"That should do it" Farah said
"Um, thank you" Merci said
"No problem it was my fault" Farah said
"Umm, Miss Farah was it?" Nora asked
"Yes Nora Moondrif" Farah said
"You said your master told you our names right" Nora said
" Yes, my master knows a lot of things, maybe to much" Farah said
"Can you elaborate" Nora said
"Well all I can say is he knows everything, when he wants to " Farah said
Darkness starts to surround Farah
"I'll come back and when I do you'll have to be ready" Farah said the darkness fully enveloping her
The darkness disappears like smoke. Merci walks to her bed.
"Who was that" Merci said sitting on her bed holding her head.
"I don't know but she looked like the description of the Angel of Darkness" Nora said walking to a screen next to the door.
"Your right she does" Isamu said sheathing his sword
"That's weird" Nora said looking at a screen next to the door
"What is Nora Moondrif" Xuán Yīng said
"It seems that the security system didn't pick her up at all like she wasn't even here" Nora said
"We'll have to report that to the teachers" Merci said lying down on her bed
"I just did, let's hope it was a malfunction" Nora said
Nora switches off the screen.
"So what did I miss these past weeks?" Merci asked
Nora, Isamu and Xuán Yīng catch Merci up on the school work she missed.
———————————————————
The next day after school Merci, Nora, a girl with long light blue hair that fades into green, she's wearing a light blue crop top with short sleeves and a long skirt that's like a cloth is wrapped around her waist it's design is that of light blue and dark green fish scales, and a dwarf girl with chocolate skin and short orange hair, wearing a plain red shirt with a muscular bearded man and the text 'Tough as iron' and a lavender skirt with shorts underneath, in Merci's and Nora's dorm.
"I'm happy we can hang out today" The blue-haired girl said sitting on Isamu's bed with the dwarf girl next to her
"Yeah, it's been a while since we had girl time" Nora said sitting on Merci's bed with Merci next to her at the head of the bed
"I wonder why" The dwarf girl said looking at Merci
"I know guys sorry for making everyone worried" Merci said looking a holographic plate that has plates on it's corners
"Mer Mer what are you doing?" the blue-haired girl asked "We're not supposed to use holophones right now"
"But Farah sent me so many messages" Merci said show the other three her holophones full messages "I missed so much"
"Mer Mer it doesn't seem like she was worried about you" Nora said "I swear I don't know why you like her so much you literally met her six weeks ago at a party"
"Hey she's a angel and it's not because she's a fallen angel she's so beautiful and treats people with so much care" Merci said
"You really like her huh I swear you fell for her too quickly" the dwarf girl said "I don't know about you but from what you two said about Farah doesn't she have the same name as that fallen with dark shadowy wings"
"Yes she does" Nora said "They might even be the same person"
"NO!"Merci shouts "Farah might be a fallen but she and that Farah with shadow wings are not the same person!"
"Woah girl calm down" the blue-haired girl said "ok but you know it's suspicion for them to have the same name"
"Well Farah doesn't have cold crimson red eye; she has warm light red eyes she's not cold but gentle and her halo doesn't constantly bleed" Merci said "Don't compare them"
The other girls laugh as the girl talk continues to school, trending outfits with Merci and the dwarf girl not talking about trendy clothes for women, then to whatever they want to talk about. After a few hours before curfew the blue-haired girl and the dwarf girl went to their dorms and Isamu and Xuán Yīng came back to the dorm with everyone getting ready for bed. Merci sits on her bed with her holophone.
"Mer Mer are you just going to just stare at your holophone all night" Nora said climbing up onto her bunk on her's and Merci's bunk bed activating the bed to have it float above Merci's "What are you looking at"
"My dad had a match today and I didn't have time to see how it went" Merci said "so I'm just going to check before bed"
"Ok suit yourself" Nora said taking of her swimming goggle like glasses and putting them on a floating bed rest "Goodnight everyone"
"Good night Nora Moondrif/Moondrif-san and good night Merci Endelove/Endelove-san" Isamu and Xuán Yīng said as they lie on their bunk bed going to sleep.
Merci checks her father's match and found out he won; she goes to sleep happy.
———————————————————
The next day Isamu is the first to wake up and goes to get ready; after he gets ready he notices Merci's bed empty and questions why didn't she wake everyone up but instantly after see that her bed is not made or that her holophone and personal battle are not where she put them.
"Moondrif-san, Tiēn Xīn-san!" Isamu shouts "Wake up Endelove-san is gone!"
Nora and Xuán Yīng panically wakes up. Nora takes her swimming goggle like glasses and jumps off her bunk bed.
"Really!?" Nora shouts putting on her swimming goggle like glasses "Your joking right; if so it's not funny"
Isamu shakes his head as he uses the screen next to the door checking the security logs of their dorm as Nora tries to call Merci using her holophone and Xuán Yīng calling their homeroom teacher Mrs. Stormwing asking her about Merci.
"It doesn't say she left through the door or window so there's no record of her leaving" Isamu said panically as he switches off the screen
"And she's not picking up her holophone" said Nora panically as she tries to call again "Come on Mer Mer pick up"
"Mrs. Stormwing says that there's no record of her anywhere in the academy" Xuán Yīng said "And she's saying that we should go to our classes and that the academy has everything under control and will tell us when they found her"
They reluctantly get ready for class and ask Merci's other friends if they saw her anywhere with all of them saying no and the academy announces that Merci is missing and that classes will continue like usual. Throughout the day Merci's friends and teammates worry about her until nighttime with them barely sleeping out of worry. The next day they had their training exercise. First they did jogged around the entire academy then they sparred and finished with hunting exercise to finish the day. Throughout the exercise Merci's friends and teammates were still worrying about her since they haven't hard anything about her from any of the teachers or had Merci answered her holophone. They were hunting big reptants this time. Nora, Isamu and Xuán Yīng were fighting a Reptant with difficulty because Merci and Xuán Yīng were their main damage dealers with Nora needing to replace Merci by using her trident and using offensive UT. As the training exercise continues a ear piercing roar can be heard as a giant reptant with shining scales dashes at the students at light speed killing all the reptant in it's way. Mr. Fadumo summons a giant earth pillar to block the shining reptant and attack it with his battle ax. The shining reptant immediately dodges his attack and hits him with it's tail.
"Run everyone it's a Solis Reptant" Mrs. Stormwing said as she dashes at the Solis Reptant at light speed then grabs it's tail and slams it into the ground.
Everyone student starts running until the first row of students stops running back as another Solis Reptant and three more start to surround them.
"We're doomed!" one student shouts.
Rainbow light spears start piercing two of the Solis Reptants and one is pierced by a darkness spear. A beam of darkness crushes the last Solis Reptant. A figure stands on top of the crushed Solis Reptant as everyone dust from the impact dissipates the figures long dark orange hair that fades into dark yellow tips, she's wearing a black crop top with detached sleeves with orange outlines and a padded small black jacket with pink outlines, a plated skirt that goes to the middle of her thighs and black boots with pink outlines. Her hands are covered with black gauntlets that have spikes on the knuckles and a flame design with the flames being orange. And her face Merci's friends and teammates recognize.
"Ha, these fuckers are small fries compared to that hellish training" the figure said "You guys ok"
No one could say anything as everyone else recognized who the figure was.
"Merci/Mer Mer/Merci Endelove/Endelove-san" everyone screams "Is that you"
"Yup sorry I was gone guys" Merci said "Had no chance but to go"
"Merci get over here we need to go close the Light Rift!" Farah shouts
"Coming" Merci said "I have to go I'll explain everything later got to make sure the world doesn't get destroyed"
Merci leaps into the air with darkness trailing behind her. Farah catches her midair and raps her arm around Merci's waist and Merci raps her hands around Farah's neck. Farah flies towards Ivan who was waiting for Farah and Merci. The three fly away with darkness and rainbow light trailing behind them. Nora, Isamu and Xuán Yīng look at each other with confused looks.
'What happened Mer Mer' Nora thought watching the trails of rainbow light and darkness fade away
