While Kazuma and Kito where at Reggie's house trying to deal with Kazuma's arm, Yuki was walking on the city streets on her way somewhere "Aunt Reiko hasn't been around for a while, it's almost like as if she left the entire house for me. Basically we have two house's. The one I stay in with my aunt, and the one my aunt stays in with her husband and kid.". Yuki sighed "Ahh, whatever. If that's the case, aunt Rekio should just hand me over the house or something.". After a few hours of walking, Yuki see's herself walking into a two story building, it was grey in colour, she walked into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she saw herself in the lower living room, the living room was a bright one. Not just that, but at the other side of the room had a small mat and toys meant for a baby. Yuki took a look at the place "Hm, looks like they're around.". She went upstairs and opened a door "Hey, uncle Mark.", Mark(31 years old. Yuki's uncle/Her aunts husband) while he was training, stopped to greet Yuki "Huh? Hey, Yuki. How are you?". Mark was training on combat when he stopped to say hello to Yuki, Yuki replied "I'm fine. I see you're training.", Mark scratched his head while smiling "Yeah I am. But if you're looking for Reiko, she's downstairs in the kitchen.". Yuki replied "Oh, thanks.", she went all the way downstairs and opened the kitchen door. When she opened the door, she saw Reiko sitting on a chair while taking a look at a device she just made. Yuki greeted "Hey, aunt Reiko.", Reiko dropped what she was looking at and turner to Yuki with a smile "Hey, Yuki. I see you came.". A few minutes go by, Yuki sat on the chair beside Reiko. Reiko was still trying to finish up the device she was working on "So, why did you come over? Did you need anything?", Reiko asked. Yuki replied "No, I didn't come over to ask for anything. I just came over to talk about my mission, the one I went on two weeks ago.". Reiko dropped her device "Oh, you mean that one to the city of pillars? I didnt even ask about it. Well, how did it go?". Yuki sighed while looking a bit down "To be honest, I wouldn't say it went well, but atleast we're alive....I guess.", Reiko looked at her niece with a straight face. She sighed and faced her "Look, Yuki. I can tell it was a horrible mission, you probably had to endure a tough fight that almost killed you.". Yuki didn't reply, Reiko took another sigh "Yuki, do you remember how we use to train when you were younger?", she asked, Yuki replied "Yeah, you trapped me in a lab and made me dodge lesser beams.", Reiko clapped her hands "Oh, so you do remember. Atl east a part of it.". Reiko started to have a brief flashback of a young Yuki dodging lassers and using these large tentacles that sprouted out her back to block and even direct her movements. Reiko explained "Yuki, back then, you wouldn't stop doing whatever you were doing until I told you to stop. Each time I'd always yell....", she started to remember her yelling "When you attack, make sure no other attacks are being prepared for you!", or "When you're defending against an opponent, look for an opening.". Yuki reminded her aunt while looking at her in a suspicious way "Back then, you and I always had hand to hand combat exercises too. At times you'd hit me faster than normal and say something about my opponent might be faster than I am. Or while fighting, you might just spawn in a cannon from nowhere and say something about my opponent might have tricks up their sleeve.". Reiko clapped her hands again "Ah, so you remember that much.....", Yuki looked at her "You almost made training a punishment for me.", Reiko giggled "My bad.". Reiko explained to Yuki "Alright, even after all that, you still turned out to be a great young solider. You come back alive from all your missions, you improve your abilities, and you always remain cautious.", she looked at Yuki with a smirk "Yuki, you remember what I've always said, right? Those who survive at the end, are the one's who are truly strong.". She continued to explain "Not the one's who hide and wait for it all to be over, not the one's who run away. But the one's who fight and break through. Yuki, you are strong!", Yuki took a breath in and out without any response. She stood up from her chair "Thanks for the having me around, aunt Reiko. I'll be going now.", Yuki then paused and asked "By the way....", she turned "Where's Mellisa?". Reiko answered "Oh, the kid? She's asleep upstairs.", a few minutes later, Yuki was in the upstairs bed room looking at her baby cousin that was just three years old "AWWWN! SHE'S SO CUUUTE!!", Yuki was trying to hold her excitement. Behind her stood Mark, his arms were folded while resting on the door as he watched Yuki playing with his daughter "Hm, you really are fond of her, huh.", he muttered to himself. Suddenly, Mellisa slowly woke up and started laughing the moment she saw Yuki. Her arms were spread upwards like she wanted Yuki to carry her, Yuki wanted to die of cuteness "AAAAAAHHH! SHE WANTS ME TO CARRY HER!!!", she yelled In her mind. Mark just scoffed "Hm", but his face turned to that of worry, he noticed that his daughters arm slowly started glowing with blue energy "Huh?", she muttered to himself. The blue energy slowly started to grow violent, his instincts kicked in "YUKI! DODGE!", he yelled. Yuki noticed the beam that was about to get shot at her [BOOOOM], the house shook with an explosion as a beam of energy flew out of the roof top. Reiko rushed all the way upstairs "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!", she asked In worry. She noticed Mark was flabbergasted, she looked to her front and saw Yuki shocked as she was spawned on a wall. Yuki's eyes were widened with shock as well, Reiko took a look at her three years old daughter and saw she was holdings a mini gun made from energy. Reiko couldn't help but to be shocked too "Her-Her-Her...", Mark yelled with excitement as he grabbed his daughter "HER POWERS HAVE ACTIVATED! HECK YEAAAAAH!". Yuki on the other hand was just laying on the wall, her arms were spread out with her eyes widened with shock "THAT WAS CLOOOOOSE!".
