[Liana POV]

Step....step....step...

Arriving at the skyscraper in front of me my steps can be heard in every direction...

Silence...

No sounds...

I also can't hear the Giant Mech too...

Seems like it stops to fix itself up...

I walked towards the skyscraper entrance...

The place is pretty much wrecked everywhere...

Broken Metal and concrete all around the place...

I look at the sky...

It was still dark and cloudy...

But at least the rain stopped...

[Lia, I mark the destination on the map for you](Elizabeth)

I look at the map on the screen from my left eye and I saw 2 Dots on the map...

One yellow and one Blue...

The Yellow one seems to be a small circle while the Blue is an even bigger circle than the yellow one...

The Yellow was pretty much in the middle of the Blue circle...

"Um... any explanation Eli?"(Liana)

[Oh! Ah... I mark the place where I think the only lead to where our objective is... The Blue mark is where I think your weapon might be, this comes from the memory you have... The Yellow circle is I think where Echo's body is...](Elizabeth)

Okay, works enough just like in a game I play...

You don't have any pinpoint to where our target is...

It is just a place where you have to search everywhere...

Guess I better start by searching where Echo is since it is, even more, smaller than the other one...

I then move to the entry point of the skyscraper...

The skyscraper seems to be pretty beat up without the crystals...

It looks like it's about to collapse if an earthquake struck again I can see cracks and holes in the wall of the skyscraper...

"..."(Liana)

[Oh don't worry Lia! I will tell you if something happened](Elizabeth)

"Yeah thanks, Eli"(Liana)

I then move inside the almost collapsing skyscraper...

Creak!....step....step.....step....step...

Seriously why is it so quiet all...

I'm questioning the mood here...

Well, at least noting happens as I walk inside...

It's still quiet until the end...

I saw the door leading to the outside...

I'm at a big hall somewhere at the end of the other side of the skyscraper I'm in...

This place is a wreck it looks like a storm just went past here...

Broken glass, furniture, and concrete were scattered all around the floor...

At least it didn't block the door...

I moved to the door leading outside and opened it...

What I saw outside is the same field that I as Echo came to before...

Well, it was a field when I was last here...

Now it is like the aftermath of a war zone...

Craters and broken metal and concrete are all around the place...

I can see that the ground is muddy from the rain before...

I follow the coordinates of the map Eli gave me and saw something in my sight...

"..."(Liana)

Memory is reminded as I slowly move forward...

Step....splash.... splash.... splash...

I hit the wet ground but I don't mind and kept moving forward...

Splash...splash....step....step....step

I was right in front of it...

I slowly sat down beside it and I look what's in front of me...

There lies Echo body...

I smile sadly as I remember the time together...

As I grab his cold hand from the ground...

I look at his face from the broken helmet...

I saw his face sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed...

I smile sadly...

[Lia...](Elizabeth)

I look at Eli that was on the screen...

[It's not your fault don't be sad... I can bet Echo didn't want to see you sad, so wipe that tear from your eyes](Elizabeth)

As Eli said that I then noticed I have some tears in my eyes...

I quickly brush it off with my jacket...

And smile softly...

"Thank you, Eli... I don't know what I will do if you didn't come to me that time..."(Liana)

Eli smiles and shakes his hand at me...

[Don't worry about it... Now you should start doing it as I don't know when will they move again](Elizabeth)

I nodded and look at Echo's body in front of me...

I gently put his hand down to the ground...

And look at him as I put out my hands in front of his body...

"Echo..."(Liana)

I said to his lifeless body...

It's amazing how he didn't even get hit by that Lazer...

Or even anything at all after what happened...

"Sorry... I wasn't strong enough to save you... If I haven't met you that time, I don't know what will happen to me..."(Liana)

I look towards him as my eyes started becoming teary again...

I looked at Eli on the screen...

She also looks very sad right now but she shakes his head and looks at me...

[Lia you can just think of activating the skill in your mind if you can't say it at all... You don't need to say the skill name Every time you are going to use your move since you are stronger now!](Elizabeth)

I look at Eli and then I slowly nod...

Yeah, it's kinda childish when she said it like that but...

"Hehe.... Eli, I don't think it's a bad idea to do that you know, so I might as well take your advice for now..."(Liana)

I look at Echo then my hand started Glowing...

"I'm sorry that I can't save you Echo..."(Liana)

His body started to glow...

It is not like last time...

Echo's body slowly started turning into light particles...

I look at him with tears in my eyes...

"Thank you... For everything up till now..."(Liana)

The light started getting absorbed into my hand...

"I promise... That I will find your daughter Echo... I promise you!... Hick*..."(Liana)

His body started turning into little particles and started to flew towards the sky...

Some of it was absorbed into my hand but the view in front of me is very emotional for me...

His body slowly disappeared...

Turning into particles of light and started floating towards the dark cloudy sky...

As the light faded and Echo's body was no more as the last bit of light flew towards the sky, disappearing from my view... 

And then I saw one...

Just one small light slowly falling from the sky... 

I stretched my hand up and catch the little light in my hands...

I slowly open it...

The light was warm...

And it slowly disappears into sparkling particles and was absorbed into my hand...

I clenched my hands and lower my head to the ground...

Tears falling towards the ground...

Eli looks at me...

I shake my head...

[Lia?](Elizabeth)

I slowly got up from the ground...

And wiped my tears...

I then saw something sparkling on the ground...

I slowly crouched down and pick it up...

What I picked up is...

The star hairpin that Echo has...

I clenched it in my hand and hug it on my chest as I look up to the sky...

Then I saw Eli surprised face on the screen...

[Uwa... I always wondered if that hairpin he has have some hidden power inside it but it really does](Elizabeth)

"Hm? What do you mean Eli?"(Liana)

[Well that crystal in that hairpin isn't just a regular Mana crystal... It's a resonance crystal](Elizabeth)

"Resonance... crystal?"(Liana)

[Just like what it was named It's a crystal that specializes in resonance it's a very rare crystal in this world... Only a small fraction of people have it. These crystals can strengthen itself as it keeps getting energy... Just say it like it's something with the same concept of Level... Any weapon that has this crystal on can go stronger and stronger as long as you use it a lot of times...](Elizabeth)

Eh? Echo how did you get this hairpin? And where did you get this from?...

[... I wonder... Well you got Echo skill now Lia it's on your status now feel free to use it](Elizabeth)

Eli seems to be thinking about something but she changed the subject when I was about to say what's wrong...

I was about to call her out again until I saw something flashing somewhere in my view...

I look there and saw something shining on the ground...

I slowly walk towards it and grab it...

It was...

"This is my gun..."(Liana)

What I am holding is the gun that I always use...

I then see if it's still working by reloading it... 

Claching! stretch!click!

And surprisingly it still works after getting tossed around the place...

I slowly look at it until...

CRACK!.....CRACK!CRACK!....

I heard a loud crack behind me...

I look behind and saw the skyscraper wall cracking...

I pale...

Then...

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!CRASSSSHHHHHH!BOOOOM!BOOOM!BOOOM! GRUMBLE! GRUMBLE! GRUMBLE!

TIIIIINNGG!

A Giant Mech smashed right through the skyscraper and is stretching its hand towards ME!?...

[Skill active!](Elizabeth)

GRUMBLE! GRUMBLE!BOOOOOMMMMMMM!

Suddenly my body moves on its own when Eli said that...

I duck to the ground as that giant hand missed me by a breeze and the Giant Mech ran past me and crashed into another skyscraper in the distance...

[Well... There goes auto Evasion... Now you are on your own for 1 hour Lia](Elizabeth)

Wow...

I guess that's something...

TIIINNNNGGG!

The Giant Mech slowly looks at me with its sword still in his hand...

GRUMBLE! GRUMBLE! GRUMBLE!...

I flinch at a sound I heard...

The sound came from behind me...

I slowly look behind and saw the skyscraper start falling...

To wards ME!?...

I quickly looked in front and saw the Giant Mech start running towards me I look behind and the skyscraper is starting to fall...

I bite my lips and narrow my eyes...

Getting crushed by a building or running towards a Mech running at you at high speed?...

[Well you have your answer!](Elizabeth)

Yeap!...

"[Dash!]"(Liana)

I run towards the Giant Mech...

The Giant Mech then laid its sword onto the ground and...

Grumble! grumble! grumble!

Its sword light up while still on the ground as it dragged it and started to Swing it at me...

StrreeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

"Not good!"(Liana)

[Lia uses stealth!](Elizabeth)

I nod...

"[Stealth!]"(Liana)

My body then turned transparent...

"[Dash!]"(Liana)

And I dash to the front and evade the sword before it hit me by moving to the side...

SWWIIIINNNNGGGG!.......BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

I look behind me and saw the falling skyscraper cut in haft by the swing...

It made a clean straight cut on the skyscraper from below towards the end as it falls towards the ground...

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!

TIIINNGGG....

Buzzz!buzzz!buzz!

The skyscraper falls to the ground and made a large amount of smoke along the way...

I was close to the feet of the Giant Mech as it started moving so I dash to the side away from the Giant Mech...

My body is still transparent...

The Mech started looking below and around the place...

Seems like it didn't see me...

I heard some buzzing sound from the mech...

CLACHIK!

{Hahahahaha! Come out, Come out Wherever you ARE KID!}(???)

I then heard a loud radio voice from the Giant Mech...

It's definitely his voice...

I keep looking at the Giant Mech in front of me...

I gripped my gun in my hand and take a deep breath...

Click....BUZZ!BUZZ!....

My gun started lighting up with electricity...

Now, what to do...

I think of a plan to use as I was still invisible and out of sight...
