It was well after midnight and the snow had begun to fall fervently whilst being whipped around by the winter winds, by the time Saiyuri's small rag-tag army had all gathered somewhat sluggishly into her large lavish living area. Once everyone settled into a seat, some of them still dressed only in their pajamas, Saiyuri stopped to take a moment to look over this seemingly normal group of people gathered in her home. She became entranced with the thought that all these people, from different walks of life, ages and backgrounds were all now here for her sake…to follow her word and were willing to put themselves in harm's way to make a change in their world. The thought brought a large smile to her face that grew even larger when she glanced over to the love seat to see Ritsuka sitting happily on his Sentouki's lap with a smile waiting for her to let them all in on her plan. She then gave the group one last short moment to finish their small talk with their partners and their few scattered yawns before clearing her throat loudly and stepping up to be standing on the large oak coffee table in the center of the room with her hands placed proudly at her hips and her ear standing at perfect attention. This quickly drew the room into a silence and focused everyone's attention firmly on the small blonde before them.

"Alright! First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming here so late on such short notice; I would not have called on you if it wasn't urgent. I would also like to personally thank you all from the bottom of my heart for joining in our cause to begin with. Now, I haven't personally met all of you yet and I know most of you don't exactly know why you have been asked to take part in something when you don't even know how or why. So let me quickly shed some light on the situation. My name is Saiyuri Kazuka but my true name is Bondless, one that shares no bond; I was born without a Sacrifice. For this reason, years ago, professor Nagisa kidnapped and tortured my parents, Fearless, and Ritsu Minami murdered them in cold blood." This caused a series of small gasps from the pairs who were learning this for the first time; but Kouya was especially affected. As soon as her mind made the connection between her idols and the small girl standing on a table before her, she couldn't help but to quickly shoot from her seat and speak out.

"Y-you are the daughter of Fearless…?" At first, this outburst took Saiyuri by surprise, until she remembered the day when she watched over Ritsuka when he met with this girl and her Sacrifice in that café. She then remembered all the things that this girl said about her parents and she was quickly filled with warmth; this is the girl she had wanted to meet very badly. Saiyuri then silently stepped down from the table and made her way over to where Kouya was standing with wide eyes. Kouya was then very surprised when the small blonde threw her arms around her, locking her in a gentle hug.

"You must be Kouya." Saiyuri then released the other girl to look her straight in the face with watery eyes. "Yes, Fearless where my parents and I miss and love them very much. I've heard so much about you and the way you looked up to my parents and I can't tell you how much it means to me and to them that you are here now fighting to avenge their deaths." Saiyuri then watched on as small tears began to well up in Kouya's eyes and slowly trickle down her cheeks from underneath her glasses.

"I-I'm so sorry for what happened…I wish I could have stopped it… I should have done something...I should ha-" Her words were quickly cut off by the blonde.

"No Kouya, there is nothing you could have done. What matters now is that you are here and that you have a partner that supports you."

"You are right…thank you." Saiyuri then gave the girl a warm smile.

"You don't need to thank me for anything. Just keeping their memory alive is thanks enough. But, if you would like, when this is all over with I would love to sit down and tell you all about them." This brought a large smile to Kouya's face and caused her to wipe the few tears from her eyes.

"I would really like that." Saiyuri then gave the girl one last hug before returning to her post perched up on the table.

"Moving right along then! To make a long story short, the plan is to take the academy by force and permanently dispose of both Ritsu and Nagisa and…we go on the offensive tomorrow evening. But please be aware that there will almost certainly be a strong resistance and you will all end up having to battle, probably several times. Now, Ritsuka and I have talked about how we are going to handle this and we have decided that we should go about this properly. By that I mean that you should all avoid battling any of the normal students if at all possible, they are innocent in all of this. But if you should have to battle students, I ask that you try not to harm them. Restrain them as quickly and as painlessly as possible and move on. Now if you happen to encounter any of Ritsu or Nagisa's personally employed units then you should use any force needed to win the battle. Does everyone understand?" Saiyuri then quickly scanned the small crowd as they all gave a nod in agreement.

"Good. Now on to the most important part, how we will make our way into the academy and who will be stationed where and with what duties. I have given a lot of thought as to how to play into each of your strengths to determine your roles which I will assign now so please pay attention." Everyone then simultaneously leaned in close to pay extra close attention to their duties. "But before we go any further, I have one last warning for all of you…" This left everyone, with the exception of Soubi, Ritsuka and Sasuke who already knew what was coming, literally holding their breathe with anticipation. "I'm sure you are all aware of the obvious dangers of this mission but I must tell you that things may have become more dangerous than previously expected. Earlier this evening I sent my good friends Sasuke and Reiki on a mission to find a way into the academy and they were ambushed by Nagisa." The small blonde then paused for a short moment to take a deep breath. "And in the course of the battle…Reiki was killed. It is now very clear that Nagisa and Ritsu will stop at nothing to capture me and secure their control of the academy. That being said…if you no longer wish to participate, this would be the time to leave and no one would blame you." Saiyuri then paused to scan the crowd with a stern expression. She waited for a short moment to give anyone a chance to leave if they wished. Suddenly out of the silence, Ritsuka spoke firmly to the small blonde.

"Soubi and I are behind you until the end Saiyuri." His statement was followed by Kouya.

"Yamato and I are also with you." The affirmations then came one after another.

"Yayoi and I want to help. We will do whatever it takes."

"You already know that I'm with you Saiyuri. I lost my Sacrifice tonight and a price must be paid."

"Yeah! Nagisa is just a sadistic lunatic parading around as a scientist. Natsuo and I just want to see her squirm." There was then another short silence as Saiyuri looked upon the sea of determined faces with a smile.

"I am so happy to hear that from all of you and I know that in the end…we will win!" This caused a short cheer from the group before everyone quieted down once again to await their assignments from the blonde.

"Well alright then! Let's see…Youji and Natsuo." As soon as their names were spoken, their ears perked up and their attention became completely focused. "I've been studying you two and your fighting style. You are very fast and your attacks are very strong and ferocious. I think that makes you a perfect match to secure Nagisa. So your only goal is to find and then capture her at all costs. I also think that you hold an advantage being that you are Zero and none of the units she can throw at you will be able to harm you. Knowing her, she will eventually back herself into a corner and that is when you will have the advantage; with her guards defeated, she will be defenseless and become our prisoner easily. Sound good?" This caused the mischievous duo to look at each other with sinister smiles before looking back to the girl on the table with wide grins.

"Definitely. She won't know what hit her. Natsuo and I will have no problem taking her down."

"I didn't think so. Now I know I agreed to let you have first dibs on her but the only thing I'll ask of you is that you bring her to me alive."

"Yeah I suppose we can manage that."

"Great! Now moving right along, next we will need someone to act as crowd control. I think Kouya and Yamato would be perfect for this. From what I've gathered, your spells are wicked accurate and you are both very strategic. Now there will be most likely be a lot of chaos after everything begins and as soon as the chaos begins, I'm sure Nagisa and Ritsu will dispense their guards and battle units to control the situation. I'm going to need you two to incapacitate them in order to clear a path for the others and keep them at bay. Think you guys can handle that?" Kouya was very eager to answer this with a grin.

"Absolutely! Nagisa's guards won't be much of a challenge and any units she may send shouldn't be too much of a problem."

"Great! Now, Ritsuka and Soubi, you two have a very important task. We will need someone to get all of the students who choose to side with us to safety. Since you two are the only ones so far that have actually mastered the inoffensive spells, I think this is perfect for you. Your jobs will be to locate as many students as possible that are willing to surrender or join us and gather them all in the courtyard away from the heavy battle. Is that ok with you two?"

"Absolutely. I think between Soubi and I we can convince most of them without using force."

"My thoughts exactly." Ritsuka then paused for a moment as he thought about what the girl had just said.

"So you said to gather them all in the courtyard?"

"Yes."

"Ok and then what?"

"Just keep them there and keep them safe and calm until I meet you there. Be sure to be on your guard though; there is a chance that they may send units your way to try and retrieve the students."

"We can do it!"

"I know you can." Saiyuri then shot Ritsuka a wide grin before a cool voice rang through her ears.

"Hey, what about me?" Saiyuri turned her gaze away from Ritsuka to look at the broody dark haired man that was still leaning against a wall with his arms crossed.

"Yeah, sorry Sasuke…well originally I had planned for you and Reiki to break us in right through the front but considering the events of the evening…I think it would be best to have you on standby." Sasuke made a sneer at this feeling insulted.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you know that hill that overlooks the academy?"

"Yes."

"Well I feel like it would be best to have you wait there and keep watch over the entire event. You are an extremely strong fighter even without your Sacrifice so I feel as though having you watching over us as a backup could really come in handy. You will need to stand watch unless you see anyone of our team is in need of help, then I will need you to come to their aid. But if everything goes smoothly, then I need you to stay there until you see us all meet in the courtyard, then you will need to come join us immediately. I know it isn't exactly what you wanted…but everyone has to do their part for this to work." There was then a short pause for the dark haired man let out a small sigh.

"Fine…I suppose that isn't a horrible idea."

"Thank you Sasuke."

"Don't mention it."

There was then a short moment when the room was filled with determined smiles and anxious faces. But the bubble was abruptly popped by Ritsuka when he firmly addressed Saiyuri.

"Hey Saiyuri…"

"Yes?"

"You still haven't told us how to plan to get into the academy in the first place." The girl then pursed her lips while placing her index finger on her chin as if in thought.

"You are right and luckily I have that part all figured out."

"Awesome! What is your plan?" Everyone was also very anxious to hear this part and stared at the girl intently as her eyes scanned the room before falling onto the busty pink haired girl and her short partner.

"Well that is where you two come in Yuiko, Yayoi. This whole plan depends solely on you getting us in." Yuiko's eyes grew wide in a mixture of fear and anticipation at this and she stammered through her words.

"W-what do you mean…"

"Well isn't it true that Limitless is currently the unit assigned to my capture?"

"Y-yes."

"Well come tomorrow evening…you will have indeed captured me." This shocked everyone in the room but none more than Ritsuka and he was quick to cry out.

"You mean you are going to turn yourself in?! After everything you have gone through to stay out of their grasp you are just going to give in?! I don't understand Saiyuri!"

"Calm down Ritsuka, its ok. I know what I'm doing."

"I sure hope so…" Saiyuri then turned her gaze back toward the pink haired girl and her partner.

"So here is how this will work. Tomorrow just before sunset, I will meet you both in the park by your school and I will allow you capture me. But it must be convincing so unfortunately I will have to battle you." This finally caused Yayoi to protest.

"No! I won't allow you to hurt Yuiko!"

"Please don't worry. I won't harm Yuiko in any way but we must battle otherwise Ritsu will catch on far too easily. So we will battle but I lose. Then you two will be able to walk me right through the front door and right to Ritsu." Yayoi was calmed slightly by this and then he was admittedly impressed at this idea.

"I see, very clever."

"Thank you. So, as you are taking me in, everyone else needs to be ready and in their places. As soon as I see an opportunity, I will break free from you and from Ritsu's office and quickly make my way to allow everyone else into the academy. At that point, the alarms will surely sound and the battle will commence." An eerie calm then came over the room once the plan was fully reveled and everyone knew their place and their duties. In the silence, Saiyuri gazed up to the large grandfather clock standing against the back wall of the room and noticed that it was now well after two in the morning and she once again addressed the group.

"Alright! So if everyone knows their part, then I suggest you all go home and get some rest and make any preparations you may need. This will be no easy task but I truly believe that together we can make the impossible possible and together we can release all battle pairs from the tyranny of the Seven Moons." Saiyuri was then warmed to look once again upon a sea of fearless faces all nodding and smiling together. "It has been a pleasure to have met you all and I expect you all to be poised and ready around the academy at sunset…after that, I will see you all on the other side."

With that, the small blonde descended from her perch and said her goodbyes to each and every person as they each made their way out of the front door and toward their respective home. Ritsuka and Soubi were the last to make their way toward the door and as they did, Saiyuri said her good bye to the tall blonde before pulling his petite Sacrifice aside and embracing him in a warm hug.

"I can't thank you enough Ritsuka…none of this would have ever been possible without you." This caused Ritsuka to smile wide and hug the girl even tighter.

"You don't have to thank me. This is something that I want to do. Ritsu and Nagisa must pay for what they have don't to all of us…but honestly it is only because of you that we are all gathered together under one common goal and strengthened by the bond of friendship. Your parents would be so proud to see you now." This cause a single small tear to roll down the girl's cheek as she released the boy from her arms to allow him to leave.

"Thank you Ritsuka." She was answered simply by a warm smile as the small boy began to walk through the threshold of the door to catch up with his Sentouki. Just before he was out of reach however, she caught ahold of his arm gentling to stop him once more.

"Oh and Ritsuka….that necklace really does suit you." Ritsuka then caught a glimpse of something he hadn't seen before from the girl. As he looked back at her he could see a small but incredibly genuine and pure smile cross her face with just a hint of red covering her cheeks.

"And that smile really suits you."
