Chapter 4-10

Takeshi
Takeshi had trained nonstop for two trying months. He had bested every warrior that came to practice in the Palace yard. He received a summon from the Empress and they talked about the coming war. She wants him to be on her A-team; she wants him to free the Sprite's and save Atalanta. Without a second thought, Takeshi agreed. He was sent to find Mizu and get him on board.

Mizu was depressed. The weight of his destroyed nation was on his shoulders. Thana was there, too, trying to cheer him up. Together the two cleared his clouded mind and he was reinvigorated with the need to stop Drayon and the Kikono that ordered him.

They returned to the empress. There, alongside General Cicero, they discussed the plan for their siege on Chikyu. Alongside Mizu, Takeshi and Thana will march into the Temple to confront Kyokku. However, Kyokku finds it essential to enlist a warrior with incredible speed to strike Kyokku before she arms herself with a Sprite. Eito Raitonin, Tieken Orredo, Daichi Mahmoud, or Lance the Azure Bladesman. They settle on Lance as his whereabouts are closeby.

Two days later, the three meet with Oliando who talks about the replica ATRAP devices. Alongside Eugen Namely, they have reverse engineered the original and created more devices to capture the Sprites. Oliando explains that Lance came to them to deliver the device of his own free will and believes him to be good of heart.

With everything else in order, the group departs on an airship to Kanissa where rumours of a man in a blue jacket is stopping crimes. The Empress believes it to be Lance.

They arrive in Kanissa and begin to hunt down Lance.
