But that was only her vision. Exodus merely followed the vision that Weiss had set forward, the destruction of Luitol, and everyone aligned. However, Weiss wouldn't subject herself to the Exodus procedure in the real world. Instead, she had let someone in special follow the procedure.
"She'll kill her friends. She'll destroy the town. She'll kill Shamhat," Commander Weiss laughed. She stared at the body with wires sticking out of her stomach, "Why would I subject myself to such a procedure, when I have a perfect subject to study."
The woman in the hidden room underground was no one other than Eve this time. While Exodus followed Commander Weiss' wishes, Exodus could take form within any host Weiss had selected. After she was quickly located in Kezdar's shelter, she was taken as a laboratory subject and ended up being selected as the host for Exodus.
Several doctors stood around the body making sure the procedure went perfectly. One mistake could end Eve's life and destroy her vision. Exodus simply demanded a small amount of blood from Weiss to grant her wishes, Exodus was generous. "Meirius would appreciate the art I am bestowing upon this world."
As the procedure was near completion, Maenadic forces had already been alerted to begin their operation within 5 hours, exactly according to her vision. While Weiss could change small details, if major events changed - the vision would also alter to something that was not intended.
First Exodus would have to take the form of a host, then the town would have to be ravaged, and finally, Exodus would appear in the form of her host above the town of Luitol. If these general events did not happen in the same succession, Exodus would alter them, and it could turn bad for Choshire as a whole.
"M..mother?" Exodus Eve woke up after the procedure was completed. Commander Weiss laughed as she saw what she had created in front of her, "I love you. Go now, complete your mission, Exodus."
Commander Weiss and the doctors fell unconscious to the ground. Exodus Eve slowly stood up from the bed. Eve felt a strong power under her, she was not Eve at that moment, she was only Exodus and what Weiss made of Exodus.
In our reality, Weiss had not expected Luitol to also be prepared for their attack. Lady Shamhat had already gone on a walk on her own.
"You waited for me?" she laughed.
A precious tall figure with a red dress, covered with jewelry, stood behind a soldier. The soldier dared not look behind, but he could feel jewelry on top of his head. While he was armed, he didn't know what kind of danger he faced behind. "Wh- who are you?" he asked in fear.
Angelic instruments played in the distance as a path of blood opened up. Many bodies remained standing up, with their heads decapitated, lying on the floor of the path. The woman licked the blood from her sword as she stared at the bodies lined up.
But he didn't need to turn around on his own, his head had already fallen. His body remains in place as the figure disappears. "Commander. Lady Shamhat, whichever of those you prefer," she said while looking at a mirror, and fixing up her smooth hair.
Suddenly, a man shoots a bullet in her direction. "That's how you greet your future leader?" She remained completely still and the bullet reflected from her sword toward the shooter's leg instead. "You know, I am open to friendly chatter," she laughed.
She then carved her heel on the man's back for 300 seconds, "If you can withstand 300 seconds, I'll let you go."
Over 300 seconds, the building started getting flooded with fuel. The smell was strong, the fuel covered the entire building, but Lady Shamhat remained still on the man. Despite being a trained soldier, he could hardly remain in place. He stared at the ground and tried for as long as he could.
"But was that enough?" Lady Shamhat laughed. The building exploded into tiny pieces, they were attempting to kill her. The man had fallen at the 235-second mark, so Lady Shamhat bid him goodbye.
Lady Shamhat stood on top of a bridge outside the building, "This way, dear reader," she declared while explosions occurred behind her. The dress she wore, the jewelry she brought, and even she herself remained intact.
Her Vision: II
While everything occurred in the background, Enkita and his group had made it to the center of the imperial sector. They were another variable that Weiss had not anticipated. Noora had led them through a secret tunnel toward the imperial sector, they had a new plan set in motion after discussing details they had uncovered.
Enkita and Kezdar had dressed in suits while Lilian and Noora wore a long black dress. They tried to fit in with Luitol's standards of clothing. This time Noora joined the group to help them complete the mission.
Luitol's military started wandering around the center of the imperial sector, expecting a move by Lyririe on that same day. The group attempted to blend in with the other citizens to avoid any unnecessary attention.
"You three," a Luitol soldier called out to the group.
The group wondered if they were already caught, it had only been so little time since they had arrived. "Heed our word. Seek shelter," the soldier declared. Luitol had already been evacuating the citizens ahead of the attack.
"The committee had sent us to speak to Lady Shamhat regarding important manners sir. We shall head that way as ordered," Lilian spoke in her formal manner for the group. The soldier simply pointed toward the castle, then went on his way to shelter more civilians.
The sky quickly turned red across Choshire signaling the awakening of Exodus and its host Eve. It was the day of redemption, revenge, and destruction. And now, it was finally time for Lyririe soldiers to come out and create havoc across the town of Luitol. This time, however, the town of Luitol was mostly prepared for the attack, unlike in her vision.
Lyririe's Maenadic forces started their attack. Running down toward homes, finding a lot of them to be empty, they decide to continue going deeper into the town. And that's when they approach a checkpoint, "Are you all scared of us? That's why you're going for civilians instead," a Luitol soldier spoke as they held some sort of formation.
The Lyririe soldiers had guns, while Luitol held swords and vehicular force. They pointed their weapons toward the formation, while they stood completely still. "Your swords can't do anything against this bad boy. I pull this right here and all of your heads are blown," a Lyririe soldier declared while pointing at the trigger.
In the blink of an eye. The men at the front of the formation had fallen to the ground with slashes all over their bodies. They had died in a mere instant, while the Luitol formation kept still and far. Lyririe's soldiers were confused at how it happened and wondered if what they saw was even possible.
A majority of Luitol hadn't been sheltered yet, but they had set several checkpoints across the town to stop the Maenadic from attacking. So far, it had succeeded, but Luitol was seemingly unprepared for the final part of the stage.
"Exodus, I have a wish of my own," Eve spoke.
Exodus Eve stood atop a forest where nothing was heard anywhere. Nothing was seen anywhere. "Save Enkita and his group of friends. Even though, I can no longer be saved," Eve cried out.
Exodus didn't respond. Exodus just headed directly toward Luitol, to create the destruction that Weiss wanted. Eve had no control of her body anymore, she would be subjected to chaos and possibly even the murder of her friends.
"After transporting the group outside the building, I was alive. But I couldn't move or talk, everyone looked so upset, they thought I had died..."
"Uli... I'm sorry I couldn't rescue you. I'm just a shell for evil now."
The imperial sector starts trembling as a massive purple vortex appears in the sky above. A figure walked out from it, it seemed to be a massive portal created from the void. That figure was the deadly Exodus Eve. Everyone, including the military, attempted to stay on their feet, the rumbling of the ground underneath was so strong, as they watched the figure appear above them all.
As Enkita and the others attempted to rush toward the castle. They noticed the figure, that was someone they knew. Someone they used to know as a friend, someone they thought had died. Now, it appeared as if that friend had become a rogue evil being. "EVE! Is that you? Or is it someone else? PLEASE answer!" Enkita screamed as hard as he could, while the rest watched.
"You aren't that loud man... I know how you feel, but - I also think that's not the real deal," Kezdar comforted Enkita while they watched the figure of Exodus Eve stand above the town.
Lilian hugged them both, even though she wasn't even a friend of Eve, she understood their pain and also wanted to comfort them. Exodus Eve started her attack immediately. A massive solar blast shot toward Luitol checkpoints and created massive craters in the areas. Exodus Eve created another portal, several beasts came running out from the portal and created chaos around the parts of Luitol where sheltering hadn't been completed.
The beasts were even more ruthless than the soldiers. They'd explode on several civilians, they'd eat them alive. They would run through houses and crush children and animals with their heavy weight. The swords Luitol soldiers had could only do so much to the beasts, the only way to stop the chaos now was to stop Exodus Eve and her path of destruction.
As the group ran toward the castle, someone stopped them on their way. "I'm aware we're in the middle of chaos, but maybe - you three could help defeat Miss Exodus Eve now," Edmund spoke to them.
"Iria and I could definitely do it ourselves! Of course! But you created this chaos for our town Enkita," Edmund declared while looking at a long sword he carried. The group knew he was right, but they had no idea how they could fight such a massive power.
"Iria's not with me at the moment though... she went to take matters of something quite important," Edmund laughed.
