(Back with Metallicana, she arrives at the guild Thanatos. Upon arrival, some of the persons there threw laughs and compliments at her. Her face remained the same, stagnant. She kept walking until she finds Zer0.)

Zer0: Well look at what the Kraken has brought us.

Metallicana: I'm not in the mood. Where is Undine?

Zer0: He's prepping himself.

Metallicana: For what? Something happened while I was gone?

Zer0: Not much. Same people failing their quests. More people to kill. And Ravi hasn't reported since uuufffff!

Metallicana: That is weird. I know she strolls from place to place but she always leaves a note or comes here in person. I will check that later.

Zer0: Buuuuutt you seem different. You seem...sad.

(Metallicana sighs)

Metallicana: I missed my target.

Zer0: We all miss something dear.

Metallicana: Yeah, but I was supposed to hunt it, to kill it. But he ended saving my life. I always thought that all people were the same. That they couldn't change. And in those guy's eyes I could see something different.

Zer0: What?

Metallicana: Hope.

Zer0: Ah~ it seems that our little girl is growing up.

Metallicana: Knock it off.

(Zer0 stands face to face.)

Zer0: Look, Metallicana, when I found you, you had murdered all those black merchants. I brought you here and alongside Undine, we both trained you, so you could have strength, to do what you wish. You followed a path full of blood and we didn't stop you because you need to learn from everything: your mistakes, your past and your decisions. Now, you topple with a harsh reality: Not all the people on that board will do the same thing we do. Some will try to hurt you; others will try to run. But there are people that even thou they know, they are going to die, they decide to keep saving lives. It's up to you to decide their fate...and yours.

(Metallicana stays silent for a moment.)

Metallicana: Thanks, Zer0. I will go and report to Undine.

(She keeps walking, with those thoughts in her mind. She finds Undine issuing orders to other guild members. Upon seeing her, a big smile could be found in his face. She smiles back.)

Undine: Once you finish with the guards, procced to kill the noble.

Guild Member: Ok Boss!

Undine: At least leave a note or some bones to let me know you are ok.

Metallicana: I tried but I was hungry, so I ate it.

(Both smiles.)

Undine: How are you?

Metallicana: I'm...ok.

Undine: And about the quest?

Metallicana: I failed.

(Undine scratches his head.)

Undine: You know Ravi may be upset.

Metallicana: I know. I will talk my way out as usual.

(She remains silent.)

Metallicana: Uhm...Undine...could I take some time for myself?

Undine: Of course! Once you rest, I got some S tier quest you can take.

Metallicana: I meant, take more time, like a year or so...

Undine: Uh...it seems is that time...

Metallicana: What time?

Undine: You see, Ana, when a girl is growing up, some of her lovely places---

Metallicana: I DON'T MEANT THAT STUPID!!!

(She hits Undine in the ribs. He lets out a little scream. Then he gets closer and hugs the girl.)

Undine: I don't know what happened, but you can take as much time as you want. And remember that in this place, you have a family.

Metallicana: I know.

(He let her go.)

Metallicana: Where are you going?

Undine: To find your partner. She hasn't reported yet since a long time ago, and although we don't delve too much in a guild members life, one must always report periodically.

Metallicana: If you find her, let her know I'm ok.

Undine: Sure do.

(Undine keeps attending the guild while Metallicana walks to the giant dining hall. A figure embraces her.)

Figure: Metaaaaaa!

Metallicana: Oh. Hello there X.

X: I have missed you so much!!!

(She hugs her.)

Metallicana: Me too. What are you up to?

X: Waiting for Ryu to go on a mission.

Metallicana: Ryu? Why him?

X: He wants to keep climbing up the ranks. He may catch you~

Metallicana: He will, in another 100 years maybe.

(From behind her, a teenage boy approaches.)

Boy: Shut the fuck up, steel girl.

Metallicana: Look what the cat has brought us. Care for another rematch, Ryu?

Ryu: Any time, any day, you cunt.

Metallicana: Hahahahaha it seems that you haven't change a bit. Maybe I will need to cut that tongue out right now.

(One of her arms transforms into a small shiny sword. He takes his katana out. X intervenes.)

X: Guys, you can do that once we come back!

(Ryu keeps walking and opens a nearby door. The door begins to shine.)

X: See ya, Meta!

(She walks through the door)

Ryu: This isn't over!

(He walks too. Metallicana smiles, then walks to her room and throws herself on the bed.)
