She looked at her as she leapt from one terrace to the other and she sighed then she went inside. She ate some oranges as she looked on the monthly report.

Meanwhile, Soil and her men are preparing for their mission. She went to the drill grounds and his men went into formation.

"Today, we will march through the capital of Sun Empire, the capital city of Taiyou, to destroy their laboratory! We must destroy that laboratory to slow down their process of developing their new weapon! Mages, provide everyone with cover against sunlight and we need to have to look like the locals so we can pass through the gates of their capital. We will dress up as merchants and enter the gates. We will go to the nearest shop to the laboratory and by night time we will attack." Soil told her men as she pointed out their objectives in the map.

"Mam yes, mam!" They shouted as they looked at the map beside her.

"We will leave by the next peak of the moon. You are dismissed." She told them and they went away.

The next peak came, Soil and her men started to march from their seaside capital of Tsuki. They dressed as merchants as they passed through the Eternal Buffs.

Meanwhile, Fossil was riding downtown to visit a nearby shop when he saw a group of merchants passing by and they looked suspicious on their movements but he ignored them. Noon came, Soil and her forces continued their march to the gates of Taiyou. They successfully passed through the guards and entered the city and went to the central parts of the city.

"We can spend the time fooling around just make sure you can come back her by sunset. Go out in groups to make sure your cover won't disappear and don't get unwanted attention." She told them and they dispersed with their respective groups.

Soil went to a nearby store by herself when she bumped into someone.

"Oh. Sorry, ma'am. Let me help you." Fossil apologized as he gave his hand.

"Sorry. The fault was mine. I wasn't looking where I am walking." Soil replied as she stood up and she shook off the dust in her dress.

"Are you new here, ma'am?" He asked her as he looked at her.

"Yes. I am a merchant from the outer regions of the empire. What is your name, kind sir?" She replied and asked him as they walked.

"Oh, how rude of me. I am Fossil. How about you, ma'am?" He asked her in return.

"I am Soil. Nice to meet you, Fossil." She replied and offered her hand for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you too, ma'am Soil. Do you have any appointments, ma'am?" He replied and they shook hands.

"Nothing in particular. Don't go too formal to me. Just call me Soil." She told him.

"Oh okay, maa... I mean Soil. Let's have a walk. May we?" He asked her

"Yeah sure. Why not?" She replied and they started walking.

They walked together and went downtown. They ate in a nearby coffee shop and they went around the town. Sunset came, Soil bid her farewell and Fossil did the same. After a few minutes of walking, Soil reached her destination and met up with her forces.

"Is everyone here?" She asked as soon as she reached them.

"Yes, General. We are complete." One of her officials replied.

"Well then, let's get ready." She replied and went to the front.

Everyone formed a line and they started walking until they reached the gates of the laboratory.

"At last. Here we are." Soil told them.

******

Soil and her forces were outside the gates of the laboratory and they melted the hinges of the gate and went in silently. As soon as they set foot inside the facility the alarm rang and a group of security forces of the laboratory tried to stop them but they failed because they were outnumbered and overpowered by Soil and her forces. A loud explosion was heard from the rear of Soil's unit.

"It wasn't from ours, general." One of her officials told her as they formed their defensive positions.

"Ready the attack forma—" She was giving orders when another explosion was heard.

"Ossenia, 3rd Form! Cranium Bomb!" Fossil shouted as he stood above the facility's wall.

"That voice. It sounds familiar." Soil told herself.

"Are you saying anything, general?" She was asked by one of her officials.

"Nope. I am not saying anything. Break Formations! Attack everyone inside the laboratory. Carriers, do as planned!" She shouted and they carried out the orders.

"Do I know you, enemy leader?" He asked her with curious eyes.

"You! What are you doing here, Fossil?" She asked him with confusion.

"I will repeat my question. Do I know you? Your voice is somehow familiar." He replied and he shrugged.

"It is somehow complicated but it isn't important now. Soil Punch!" She replied and she attacked him with magic as she charged at him.

"Oh, I know now. You are the cute lady I came across earlier but sorry I won't hold back. " He replied as he dodged her magic attack and rode Ossenia in its carpet form.

Hearing his words, Soil stopped for a bit and blushed.

"I—idiot! I am your enemy. Don't complement me! Soil Arrow Barrage." She shouted at him and she attacked.

"Eh? Why are you so blushy—blushy? Bone Curse!" He asked her as he evaded Soil's attacks and attacked them with his magic.

"Wh—what is happening? I—I feel weak." Soil replied as she felt weak and saw a skull mark on her hand.

"The cute enemy is strong huh? I expected that for some parts. Bone Curse instantly kills everyone who was cursed with it unless you are tenacious enough to withstand its power." He told them as they felt weak because of his attack.

"Y—you! Moonlight Regeneration." She said as she stomped and she healed herself.

"Oh. Now I am impressed. Ossenia, 5th Form! Bone Arrows!" He shouted as he waved his hand while the arrows went to the direction of his hands.

"Stoneware Clay Wall!" She shouted and she leaned on her wall for cover.
