Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 14 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 7===
They arrived in Luxor. While heading toward the valley of the kings, the road was blocked.

「It’s getting even more suspicious.」

The bus stopped at nearby parking lot and they discussed of their plan ahead.

「It will be dawn soon but, the outside is still dark. Let’s go out for recon right now.」

The two agreed with Kizuna’s suggestion and changed into pilot suit before exiting the bus.

「Eros!」

Jet black armor attached itself on Kizuna’s body as though night itself was melting onto him.

「Taros and Demon will stand out too much here.」

Kizuna said that and held the two in his arms.

「Endure it for a bit.」

Kizuna deployed his barrier in front of him and started running. And then his thruster came to life and they cut across the dry wasteland with low-altitude flying. He rushed through the darkness without a single light around and suddenly climbed up steeply.

When they flew across high above the set up barricade, he noticed the light far ahead.

「So that’s the valley of the kings.」

A valley was brightly illuminated within the darkness. It was a desolate valley that was sandwiched between the rocky mountain slopes.

Something curious was lying down there.

It was like a huge organism made from metal.

However it was an animal that couldn’t possibly exist in this world.

That was a dragon with three heads.

──Tri-Head!?

Kizuna landed on the slope in front of the valley of the kings and hid inside the darkness.

「Captain, just now……」

Sylvia whispered into his ear. Ragrus muttered that name before Kizuna could reply.

「Tri-Head……I’m amazed something like that is remaining here.」

「Yeah, that’s a really formidable enemy.」

──What now?

They were already having a hard time against Dragre, it would inevitably be a hard battle if they faced Tri-Head……no, this time he had done ultimate hybrid with Sylvia and Ragrus.

Then──,

「Let’s destroy the Tri-Head before it’s activated.」

Sylvia and Ragrus nodded.

「Most likely there is multinational Heart Hybrid Gear force guarding it. They will surely appear if we cause a commotion.」

「Then, we just need to destroy it swiftly isn’t it?」

「Yeah. Leave the multinational force to me, I’ll leave the Tri-Head to Sylvia and Ragrus.」

「Understand desu. We will defeat it while it’s asleep desu.」

Kizuna nodded, then Sylvia and Ragrus each yelled their core’s name.

「Taros!」

「Demon!」

The two’s body shined and floated lightly in the air. Lines of light grew from their arms and legs. They moved to draw the shape of armor like drawing a blueprint in the air. Particles of magic power gathered, materialized, and manifested the parts that were drawn in the blueprint. And then it was put together in the blink of eye like watching construction progress in fast forward.

When he realized, giant frames that he had to look up to had manifested.

The fantastic appearance of the white and purple giant frame emitted an indescribable terror. Gun of judgment at the left and hammer of sealing at the right. That was the biggest and strongest Heart Hybrid Gear Taros.

A vivid red giant frame. The figure that stood imposingly with its powerful arms that were hiding terrifying destructive power folded, it truly looked like a demon. The hell inferno that would burn everything to ash, the magic armor Demon.

「We’re going! Sylvia!!」

「Roger desu! Ragrus-chan!!」

The two giant gears flew over the mountain. They slid down the slope at the opposite side.

And then Sylvia approached Tri-Head while focusing her aim with the main cannons Ignis on both her shoulders.

「Ignis!!」

The particle cannons that rivaled a battleship’s main cannon hit Tri-Head’s body and a giant flame blast rose up.

That impact and explosive sound immediately caused the valley of this kings to become flurried.

「What happened just now!?」

Rushing out from a simple lodging house was Valkyrie’s captain Christelle. It seemed she rushed out in panic after waking up from sleep. She wasn’t even wearing her pilot suit properly. She barely got her legs to put on the suit, but her chest was exposed. The pink tips were also shaking greatly.

Elfriede wearing her pilot suit perfectly came toward Christelle who was in such unladylike appearance.

「Christelle, it’s Amaterasu.」

「As I thought, they sniffed it out huh……」

Christelle bit her nail. A man’s voice talked to her.

「Aa, my bad. We’ll defeat the Tri-Head here.」

「!?」

When she turned around with her breasts swinging around with her, a man in black was standing there.

「Hida……Kizuna……」

Cold sweat trickled down Christelle’s cheek.

Kizuna made a slightly surprised face. However, Christelle didn’t manage to grasp the meaning of that expression.

「What?」

Elfriede whispered idly beside her in Kizuna’s place.

「Breast.」

「?……Ah!?」

She hurriedly hugged her breasts to hide them.

「Kuh……my breasts are costly just so you know……」

「Sorry, I’ll apologize for that.」

Christelle put her arms through the pilot suit’s arm hole and locked the electronic fastener.

「It seems you planned a surprise attack but, we’ll turn the table on you. That Tri-Head is installed with nine cores. It’s beyond compare with the Dragre! Besides──」

Christelle made a proud gesture.

「Mires!」

A beautiful Heart Hybrid Gear with white armor and blue and red additional colors enveloped her body. Her action pose made it looked like a hero’s transformation scene.

「Dagura.」

On the other hand Elfriede didn’t take any pose. Her standing posture was equipped with gray and slightly rugged armor just like that.

「My bad but, I’ll be the opponent of you guys──Mode Taros!!」

Eros’s light changed into purple color. At the same time outrageous power welled up inside Kizuna’s body.

Christelle frowned seeing that transformation.

「That phenomenon again……what’s with that gear?」

She pulled out Mires’s weapon, a sword and moved the swords floating beside her body to take fighting readiness. These swords had the same function like Neros’s Blade. However the number was half of Neros and both its speed and also destructive power were inferior. So to speak it was the scaled down version of Neros.

「Noow then……」

She quickly sent her swords as a feint. And then she herself also dashed forward.

And then behind her Elfriede gave cover fire with her rifle.

──Prepare yourself Hida Kizuna! No matter how superior Ros-series is……!?

Kizuna swung up his fist and he was already punching.

At the ground.

「Haaah!?」

Christelle reflexively raised her voice. The ground below her vanished.

──No way-!?

The ground collapsed.

Kizuna’s fist created a crater like a falling meteor.

Wind blast and cloud of sand whirled up. And then the split up ground soared high to the sky as though it was blown away.

Elfriede’s sight was taken away. She helplessly lowered her rifle.

「Christelle!」

The sound of metal clashing resounded inside the cloud of sand.

──They’re crossing swords?

But the next moment Christelle’s body flew out from inside the smoke.

「Wha!?」

Elfriede couldn’t catch Christelle’s body and the two of them somersaulted before falling on the ground and rolling around.

Christelle lifted up her upper body and spat out some words.

「Damn you……what brutish power!」

Kizuna’s figure showed up from the other side of the thinning cloud.

「I want to ask something. Is that the last magic weapon that is equipped with Heart Hybrid Gear’s core?」

「So what about it huh!!」

Kizuna stared at Christelle’s angry look and muttered a question.

「What are you scheming?」

「……Ha? Of course it’s creating a strong weapon and subduing you guys.」

Christelle glared at Kizuna with an obviously displeased look.

The two glared at each other for several seconds.

「……I see. In that case──」

Tri-Head’s roar thundered at that time.

Three giant necks rose up at the searchlight. It moved around its necks like it was just waking up from sleep and confirming the enemy’s existence.

「So it activate completely……this is bad.」

「Ahahahahahahahaha! How unfortunate for you! This fight is ours now!」

Her expression changed completely from before and she puffed out her chest with a smug expression.

「You’re a girl with extreme change in emotion huh……」

「Hah! Say whatever you like! With this the secret of other world belong to us!」

「Why do you want to learn that so much?」

「Because, it’s unfair that you guys are monopolizing it for yourself! If you guys know the secret, then I also have the right to know! Monopolizing technology is unforgivable!」

「My bad but, I can’t allow that.」

「Why not!?」

「A power that is too much for you will destroy yourself.」

「Ha?」

Christelle tilted her head with an expression that asked just what was he saying.

「We saw a world that destroyed itself because of technology that was developed without end. Other world’s technology isn’t something that we mankind can manage. As long as we ourselves don’t grow, we won’t be happy no matter how amazing the technology we developed. We will only get swung around by the tool we created and head toward self-destruction.」

「……」

Kizuna thought that Christelle would get worked up and argued back but she was staying quiet. It was unexpected for Kizuna.

Christelle stared fixedly at Kziuna with her blue eyes.

「……You talked like you know it all. But, as long as you don’t do something about that, there will be no tomorrow for you.」

Christelle pointed at the Tri-Head with her thumb.

At that time flame approached toward their location.

「Eh?」

Kizuna reflexively yelled toward Christelle.

「Watch out!!」

Christelle and Elfriede got down on the ground while Kizuna flew to the sky.

Tri-head’s flame grazed Kizuna’s foot.

「Uou!? That’s dangerous……Sylvia! Ragrus! Are you two okay!?」

Tri-Head’s three heads were breathing out flame. Red giant frame was running around amidst that.

『Shut up for a bit-!! This dragon, it’s super annoying──!!』

Ragrus’s enraged face was projected in front of Kizuna’s face. Her face was sooty and even her blond ringlet curls were also slightly scorched.

『Sylvia-! I’ll throw it your way, so do something about it!!』

──Throw?

Kizuna didn’t understand what she meant but, it seemed her meaning was conveyed to Sylvia.

『Leave it to Sylvia desu!』

She replied without qualm.

──However, there is no way she can punch that Tri-Head flying.

Kizuna wondered what she was going to do. Then a shocking scene entered his eyes.

『URYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!』

Demon grabbed the Tri-Head’s tail and began to swing around the giant body with total length of 80 meter like a giant swing.

「Oi oi……there’s no way」

No matter how powerful Demon was, something like this was impossible.

No, it was impossible before.

──Ultimate hybrid.

Tri-Head’s giant body passed over Kizuna’s head. He unconsciously ducked and half-smiled.

「That’s amazing……」

『Here I go!! Sylvia!!』

Demon’s hands let go.

Tri-Head’s body flew to diagonally above. However, Tri-Head that was freed spread its wings to control its posture. It raised an angry roar and hovered a kilometer above the ground. And then its three heads turned toward the opponent who threw it and glared.

However Demon and Ragrus folded her arms and yelled victoriously.

「Get him! Sylvia!!」

「Roger desu!」

Taros was behind Tri-Head. And then the right arm’s hammer that looked like a safe was directed toward Tri-Head. The seal opened with a sound.

「Corruption Armament Titania!!」

The Pandora’s box opened and darkness was liberated.

That darkness flew straight toward its prey.

It was a black celestial body.

A cage of gravity where even light couldn’t escape.

The black hole caught Tri-Head’s tail.

In that moment, the three headed dragon who managed to luckily survive until now received death sentence.

Tri-Head that noticed the abnormality turned one of its heads to behind. There half of its body turned smaller and sucked into a small black sphere.

The dragon head raised a growl that resounded from the bottom of its stomach.

Tri-Head exerted all its strength and struggled to escape from Titania.

However that was impossible.

A cry that sounded like a shriek surged out from the three heads. But Tri-Head’s body was gradually sucked into the black sphere.

Suddenly the cry vanished.

The figure of Tri-head wasn’t there. There was only a black sphere floating under the sky of dawn.

That sphere returned into Taros’s right arm, then it was locked behind the seal once more.

「You did it, Sylvia!」

「We did it desu, Ragrus-chan!」

The two of them held each other’s hands.

「Amazing you two! I was shocked.」

Kizuna flew toward the two. They welcomed him with smiling faces.

「It’s thanks to captain’s love desu.」

「Ri, right. Without ultimate hybrid, I wouldn’t be able to throw it.」

Christelle’s angry voice resounded at that time.

「YOUUUUUUU!! JUST WHAT HAVE YOU DONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-!!」

She was approaching with a terrible expression.

Kizuna’s face twitched, then he got on Taros’s shoulder.

「Sorry Sylvia. Run away in full speed.」

「Roger desu! Ragrus-chan too, please hop on desu!」

Ragrus also dispelled Demon and got on Sylvia’s side.

「Mission complete. Returning home to Ataraxia desu!!」

Taros’s huge rocket spewed flame.

「Wait……!?」

The Heart Hybrid Gear that looked like magic weapon flew away above Christelle’s head. Taros that was accelerated with ultimate hybrid surpassed the speed of sound in the blink of eye and vanished from the sight of Christelle and others.

「Christelle……」

Elfriede stared at the back of Christelle and called her name.

「Even Tri-Head is defeated.」

「Yes.」

She thought that Christelle would rage, but her voice was extremely calm.

「No matter how powerful magic weapon we prepared, it won’t be a match against that. It’s not even exploding the opponent, but absorbing them……」

「Don’t be that dejected. We still──」

Christelle suddenly brought her face close to Elfriede who tried to console her. With a wide smile.

「Because you saw!? Just now! That was a black hole you know!? There is a limit even in being absurd!」

「……Christelle?」

「It’s clear with this. As I thought, we can’t win by fighting them from the front.」

Christelle took Elfriede’s hands.

「The small scale experiment is a success, so it’s fine! What’s left is to carry it out without any rehearsal but, we will manage somehow! Aa, I’m really looking forward to it!」

「Christelle, you aren’t frustrated?」

「Not at all!」

And then she spoke like a child who couldn’t wait for Christmas to come.

「Because, that power will soon belong to me!!」
