Lance Korilum:
  Cero was silent for a moment, disgusted at the fact that he allowed these events to transpire.  "Completely overrun.  I had to abandon it, their sheer numbers were nigh impossible to overcome."  He looked at the ground as he said, the disdain and frustration loud and clear in his voice, with a fist clenched.  That Training Facility was exactly what the enemy wanted in the end, a collection of powerful fighters all wrapped up in a fancy glass bow. 

Cherry:
Gritting her teeth, Yugure expected this answer. It was simply harder to swallow to see that the prideful Cero had to submit to retreating. "Damn it..." she cursed, looking off to the side. The fury in the king's heart will be answered with overtaking the base back, especially judging by the texts of the Cardfight Club Yugure's phone was registered into. Hana was over there, and they were going to gather for getting a hold of the situation.

"As it stands, we're not going to be able to get it back", is the honest truth that came out of her mouth. Espoir geniuses and Cero's diligent trainees, along with the one who had led the takeover would surely trample over the duo. "We need backup."

Seifer, Satoshi... Haruka. Hana probably charged in, despite the overwhelming numbers. If she could get through to the ringleader and take it back with whatever unit she took with her... this will tip back into their favor somewhat.

... If she took a unit with her.

No, nonsense. Yugure knew Hana, the princess wasn't stupid.

"I'm heading to someone's house to get some reinforcements. I recommend you find whoever you can and do the same."

Lance Korilum:
  Cero was reluctant to follow Yugure's advice to find back-up, but he knew there was no chance with just the two of them, possibly three if Hana was still fine.  They were all skilled fighters, but the sheer advantage that the Reverse fighters had in numbers was too great.  "Alright," he relented, "I'll search the shopping district, and we'll meet back here as soon as possible."  With this, Cero set out in search of allies to the Resistance.

Hope:
The Princess was called to an audience by The King early in the morning in order to discuss the current events.

Star Rain and Garmore insisted that she accessed the King's Audience Hall using the Sanctuary behind the Espoir Manor. She used to use it to attend the council meetings and send her image as her powers were still largely undeveloped and it functioned as an enhancer back then. Nowadays, she really has no need for it, but since the two paladins kept on insisting, she followed along.

"Welcome home, Hana!" Her parents welcomed her and both ran to her to embrace her as she entered the Manor gates, something that she has not done in so long.
"You're so fit and mature looking now! So cute, aww you had a growth spurt just like your mom!" Mom-san pinched her cheeks as she held her in a motherly embrace which felt more like a bear hug due to her sheer strength.
"T-Thamksm Mam-sen." She said as he face was being squished by the Chief Nurse.

Speaking of bears. Lions.

"How have you been? Anyone treat you wrongly? I shall destroy them." He held both of them within his grasp, and he still had a large arm length left to spare, enough for Yukino most likely. It's how the family man of a half-man and half-lion was designed.

It seems that Yukino wasn't home, and when inquired about her, the two stated that she should wait until after breakfast. It wasn't a full family meal like they used to have since Yukino wasn't present, but it was close. Dad-san was there with his over-protective remarks and often far too serious attitude. Mom-san, meanwhile argued with Shamsiel as the Bermuda Triangle units looked at Hana with judging eyes saying. "This is basically you too." Hana had forgotten how it was to spend time with them, and they didn't seem to hold it against her that she had been gone for so long. They more or less asked about it just to get to know her. In Dad-san's case, to look for someone who has done her wrong.

"How's the idol career?"
"Is your manager treating you right?"
"Do you need any help?"
"How's Pr<3ism?"
"Are you doing alright living by yourself?"

After the flurries of questions, they saved the one that she knew react to most for last.

"How's Miyuki?"

Dad-san and Mom-san knew about their relationship, and in both of their cases, they really liked Miyuki and have been actually the ones helping to keep the condition a secret from her parents. Dad-san always imagined that both of his daughters would find men to be with one day and was caught by surprise when told about her daughter's choice. Though, after some though, especially looking back at the relationship the two had, he had no reason to reject and gave him blessing to them. Hana looked down at her plate, unknowingly playing with her food a little as she was lost in deep thought. Guilt? Still there. Frustration? All the way. How about happiness? Forget the other two, that's what Hana definitely was.

"Ah, she isn't doing well still, but Mom-san's nurses are helping a lot! She is able to wake up occasionally and we are able to spend time together. Even if it's just by her bedside and in my home, I am happy.. really really happy to be with her."

Mom-san stood up and gave her a pat on the back while Dad-san gave a smile and a thumbs up. "Sorry that I can't do much.. it's a disease that I've never encountered before..." The Nurse said apologetically. There was no need to apologize in Mom-san's case, since in terms of physical condition, Miyuki has been kept in such a shape that she could be a professional athlete. She was healthy as can possibly be, the only issue was really, the invaders. Hana wondered if the two knew about them. Dad-san probably did, but it was best to save that for another time if possible.

After dinner, Mom-san had to make preparations for her next trip and Dad-san had to return to his office to work. Hana had to go ahead and do the same.

Upon reaching the King's Audience Hall, she saw three warriors awaiting her. It seems that Ahmes was absent at the moment. She walked on towards the King's throne and gave a bow as this was his domain. After that she was given a signal to raised her head, the conversation was now to begin.

"Did you enjoy your meal with the Lion and the Chief Nurse?" The King smiled.
"Of course!" She gave a peace sign, "... wait that was your idea?" She asked, taken aback by the fact.
"No, No.." The King shook his head, "It was Gancelot's!"

Hana turned over to see him, the knight who was smiling proudly, with a somewhat nerdy smirk. It was weird to see him like that especially since she's always known him as being a stone-faced loner. The King, she could understand, but Gancelot's idea?... Isn't he...  Alone... Alone? Solitary?... His armor had changed as well, to a more golden and much for firmer look, as if he had evolved and rached a higher rank, his Zenith.

"It was my idea to call you here." Gancelot confessed. "I know you are wondering of Ahmes whereabouts, as well as Yukino's. Rest assured, they are together at the current moment and protecting one another."
"I dunno Dancealot, I never expected you to be as cheesy as Alfred here." She turned her had a little, teasing the knight.
"Ah well, yesterday I received his blessing!" He let out a hearty laugh.
"Goodness gracious, the explains a lot!" Her eyes widened.
"Ah, well let me explain the events of yesterday." Gancelot began.
"I'm sorry," She bowed her head down, "I know I was supposed to meet up with them, but the large amount of reversed fighters in the Shopping District as well as Miyuki's conditioning worsening that night I-.."
"It's alright man!" Garmore assured her. Seeing as how he was with her and slacking as well, he was also trying to cover his trail.
"It's not about that..." The King turned to Garmore.

Gancelot went over to Hana and placed a hand on her shoulder, his eyes looking into hers as he understood her now. She realized it then, that he really did learn something, something that he wanted to convey to her too, that they were no longer alone.

"The power bonds that you spoke of with Daiyusha... the true justice that you told him about, he told us that those words saved him. I wanted to offer something to you as well for the sake of one of my Vanguards... your sister, and for your sake as well, our Princess." He prepared himself to speak once more, "Yesterday we fought against the enemy, almost defeated, wiped out... your sister and I were most of all shaken beyond anything. She feared failure once again."

Hana turned away a little. She had already forgiven her, except for that part, but that's what Gancelot was trying to get at.

"Families are bonds, and it seems that for the longest time, you've given it up in your attempt to become more independent. You see family as weakness don't you, a reliance on your father, mother, and even your sister." The Knight saw within her heart.

"Forgive you sister completely, and see her as she is again. She didn't fail yesterday, we succeeded and evolved... together."

It was the truth, Hana had moved away from her family and distanced herself in order to be her own person, to seem less reliant on those who raised her and be taken more seriously as someone who was a subordinate sister to no one. Her inferiority complex had her forget the bonds that the families had, even getting angry at the Espoir destiny.

"Share the destiny with your sister." Alfred added, "You two are among the greatest warriors whom I've met. Hmmm... Speaking performance wise, a powerful duet?"
"Alfred, stahp." Garmore facepalmed.

They spoke the truth, except for Garmore. Hana covered her face for a moment, a revelation was brought to her by these knights. She entered deep thought. The conversation went on and on.
 

Cipher Izanagi:
It took them a little bit longer to get here to the mansion, the place listed in the address given to him by Yukino. It was... Massive. So it seemed. Seifer had never been near, nor lived near anything like this. The entire way, Rosalia helped an exhausted Seifer along to the mansion. "Wow... it's... pretty big. Where do I start..." looking around at the gate they stopped at he saw the intercom... thing, that was on the side. He pressed his finger against the button, pressing it down fully and waiting for a response. He was actually admittedly a bit nervous. Going somewhere like this was rather unnerving to him, but he had to suck it up. He understand what Yukino had meant in the last text, so he might as well go to her.
