"Where did this come from? If the gravitational pull gets any larger, the world will collapse!"

An angelic being flew into the top of the tower and found a sleeping woman in a capsule. The vision doesn't show who was in the capsule, but the scene shifts into another.

"Hahaha, you're delaying battle maiden," came a monstrous shadow attacking a warrior wielding a powerful lance.

"Heh, you're actually slow on the uptake Gorm," the lance-wielding warrior in purple and white armor sliced one pillar...then another...then another...then another...

"Wait! Stop! Are you TRYING to kill yourself!?!" Grom froze in fright as the chamber began to collapse.

"Sorry, I don't plan on dying today."

The ceiling starts to tumble down, ending the vision.

The next thing Arshei knew, she was in a dark, damp corridor made of stone. Did she just been teleported? Fortunately she has her flashlight. A light at the end of the corridor barely showed a large crystal in the room.

What is this place? She hasno clue, next thing she knew some thing just flashed into her mind the moment she touched that plate, now she's here in a dark corridor. She still can see a bit in the dark, even so she took her flash light out of instinct. As she swings her flashlight all over, Vin is nowhere to be found, Arshei realized that she is here all alone. As she pointed her flashlight up front, she noticed, there's something at the end at the corridor.

Arshei is interested in whatever it maybe, and she slowly walks there cautiously, despite sensing nothing dangerous within the surrounding. Either her senses got dulled or the surrounding is making her tranquil. Before she realized it she's already in front of this huge crystal thing.

Entering into the spacious room, laid the large crystal apparatus. Other corridors existed, though they looked metallic, just like the floor, walls, and the ceiling of this room. The room vibes with ancient wonder and secrets. A control panel stood at the base of something inside the crystal...a person?! Looking closer, it appears to be some mechanical construct, and not of flesh. Maybe play with the control panel?

She stood upon the massive crystal as she looked closer, there seems to be a person inside to her surprise, though not human. Android? She's not sure. As there's a control panel, She's not sure if its wise to disturb its slumber. Either way she decided to give it a try.

Playing with the controls, there are some glyphs she seemed to recognize from the very back of her mind, so she knows what it says, might be something related to her past regarding its nature, but different in origin. She pressed the confirmation button to release whatever person is inside.

Upon confirming in an nostalgic dialect of Hymmnos, Arshei activated the release of the person inside, causing an alarm to sound within the room. The lighting in the room turned red, sealing most of the doors, including the one Arshei took to come in here. A yellow warning screen displayed with an automatic female voice speaking.

"Sub-bbb...ject Re----ia released 2.547 TERM y--ear--s earlier than projected. A--ort, A---rt."

The control panel displayed a screen showing that the depressurization process had commenced and will take 2 minutes to complete.

"G...ah" A faint voice muttered a painful expression as her barely audible voice could be heard through the crystalline pod.

The girl really is alive!

A dozen tread-wheeled automatons appeared. Their cumbersome bodies slowed them down a tad, but they looked pretty tough with that layering of armor on them. Some of them started shooting bullets at Arshei, while others fanned out for a charge attack.

Unknown to her, messing with the control panel seems to have triggered an alert, and now three automotons came out of nowhere showing threat to her, without hesitating she pulled out her daggers. The automotons started shooting bullets to her, she jumped high enough to dodge the incoming bullets.

Using one of her daggers, the Arrya brand, she shoots the hooks to one of the automotons attaching to them. Trying to throw the automoton while she's in midair is simply illogical with her current strength, its not that she could throw it either way do to its sheer weight alone. Instead she pressed the button that functions to retract the hooks, allowing her body to move directly towards the automoton as the hooks are attached to it, once she reaches the automoton she would simply hit whichever weak spot she finds with her other dagger, though poison might not work with machines.

During her time travelling in the ship she simply tested it the weapons she bought back then, and to her conclusion this function might come in handy in battle, allowing her to move towards the enemy without wasting too much energy just to get closer to the enemy.

Arshei successfully retracted in midair unto the hocked automated weaponloid. The others closed in on her position, but unable to point their guns up high enough to reach Arshei. Upon further inspecting, the neck joint is visibility weak to any attack.

A few seconds of inspecting she found their weak point, their neck joint is completely unarmored and might be vulnerable to attack without hesitating, she made slash to the neck hoping she would completely disable it.

After doing that she retreated away from the automotons knowing she would have to be cautious, if she were to idle even for a few seconds she'll might get ambushed at anytime. Landing on her feet with a slight bend of her legs, she quickly stood up to see the position of other active automotons.

The two locked-on and fired on her. Two more charged in, one receiving some stray bullets, but being negated by its armor.

One minute until Depressurization is completed.

"Tch!" With her nimble body, she dodged to the side trying to dodge, however with one the bullets grazed her arm, though she couldn't simply stop because of the pain or else she'd get run over by one those charging bots. This many bots is too much too handle. Getting close against these many bots isn't really a good idea, she decided that she should destroy the ones having ranged offense with her own ranged.

Its been a long time since she's been using her strange abilities, while still running she uses her left hand to concentrate something, after a while a strange dark energy sphere appeared hovering on her left arm. As soon as she finished charging she quickly throws as if it is a baseball towards the nearby ranged automoton, targeting their main body as she knows that this energy ball would simple ignore the fact that it had armor and would simply pierce it through like its nothing. Though using this ability would tire her out quickly if she uses it repeatedly as she hasn't been using this ability for a long time.

The weaponloid was instantly vaporized by Arshei's Void Magic. The spell had worn on her, but she could cast a few more. However, one of the melee charging weaponloids bashed into her, knocking her unto the ground.

"Depressization process complete. Subject Remilia...exiting Life Pod."

As the woman's crystalline panel opened, the violet long haired woman took a careful step out. All of the weaponloids stopped in place, as if paying respect to the woman exitting out of her long deep slumber. The woman looked at you, naked, wondering who you are.

"Did you release me?" She asked, much to her dazed confusion.

"Kya-!!" Being tackled from behind, she stumped on the ground, she should have been more careful with her blind spot. She still could stand with her feet, but with all the bots coming to her could she move in time?

Before she could notice anything, the bots stopped moving. A voice from the crystal confirming that whatever process to release whoever it was is completed, a woman with long violet hair, almost similar to Arshei's purple hair emerged from the large crystal, and now looking at Arshei who's still kneeling on the ground, trying to recover herself after being knocked down on the ground.

Is she a foe? A friend she wouldn't know, she couldn't sense anything about the girl. Those bots could attack her at anytime within her disadvantage position.

It took a few seconds for her process the question that appeared from the girls mouth. Nevertheless she answered.

"Ye-yes?"Arshei wasn't sure herself how to respond.

"Mhm...Are you---Gahhh!" Having a terrible migrane-like reaction, the woman held her head as she quickly dropped to a fetus position.

The machines reactivated and no longer targeted Arshei as they moved around and smacked into the wall or each other. The other seals upon up, including the path where Arshei had come from.

The sounds of sobbing could be heard from the woman cowering there on the floor, only her long hair to cover her bare skin.

Seeing as the woman dropped unto the floor curling, the automotons went out of control smashing into the wall and bumping into each other.

The event almost surprised her that she went her guard up, however that is not the case at all. She quickly approached and kneel to the woman who is crying on the floor right now. Arshei didn't say a word. She didn't know what to do. Her concern and worry for someone she didn't know is written all over the place. As those automotons went out of control, it shouldn't take long they would go berserk soon like any other bots she seen in her life, they'd just shot anything that moves. Should she take her chances and leave her to explore the place or take the girl with her and go back where she came from? It's possible that the exit might not be there even if she go back there. Anyhow she should check the exit first, though leaving the girl here is not really a good idea. She decided to carry her on her back, as maybe Vin would know a lot better than her right now. Arshei is strong enough to carry one person despite her small body, though it slows movement a lot but enough for her to run, she needs to hurry before those automotons noticed her and go berserk.

"Sister...sister..." the woman sobbed, as she was being carried by Arshei.

For looking like mid-20s, her petite size could mistake her for a teenager.

The automatons seemed to have gone silent again, as if they lost will to move now. Checking on the corridor leading back to where she came, it all seemed clear of any threats. Treading down it, she reached to where she first began when she was teleported inside. As Arshei got closer, a glyph on the ground from which she first stood on without notice began to lit up.

There seems to be a glyph on the ground when Arshei got closer to it, it seems to be where she came from. She's getting the rough idea it might probably some sort of teleporter since she came there, if it is she might be able to get out of here. However it occurred to her, she just noticed she had been wearing this piece of underwater equipment all along, if she were to warp underwater, she had no way to bring this girl to the surface without taking any risk of drowning. If she were alone it might be possible with that suit. Even if she gave the suit to the girl, Arshei herself might not survive. And taking risk to go inside a dungeon with an unconscious person on her back isn't really a good idea.

Arshei checks her equipment again to see whatever stuff she didn't notice that can help attached on the suit . There seems to be a small oxygen tank she didn't notice. That makes less things to worry about, though she should probably give the suit to this girl and use the spare tank instead, since she's been naked all along. Though that's not something she should be blushing about since their both girls.

Done equipping the suit to the unconscious girl, Arshei is back to her usual casual look, though she never did took of her cloths to start with when she wore that suit. Done with the preparation with the spare oxygen tank on her attached on her belt she carried the girl on her back, then approaches the glyph to inspect it, being prepared if the glyph attempts to warp her out.

Upon approaching the glyph, it grew bright in its lined design. It looked like if she stepped on it, both her and the woman in touch with her body will be teleported back out.

When Arshei moved into the glyph, it did act as a teleporter, transporting them back out into the sea, 30 meters below in front of the metal plating, with one of scientists shocked to see them. More of the scientists approached and helped where needed in bringing both Arshei and the woman back on board.

The men took the woman and laid her on the medical bed down below, starting to undo the swim suit. As Vin noticed that the woman had no undergarments, she kicked the men out and only Vin and Arshei and a couple of the female staff stayed in the room.

"I-I don't know what to say," Vin began her disbelief. "You disappeared out of nowhere, Arshei. I didn't know if you were killed, teleported, or both!"

Once a mother, always a mother.

"But..." Vin finished getting the suit undone for the other female staffers to help change the woman into dry clothing. "...What in the world happened?"

Vin showed worry all over her face, Arshei could only say "S-sorry, it surprised me too..."

Vin then asked her what happened, Arshei briefly explained that whatever happened after she got transported into that corridor, including the part where she had visions, finding the girl, understanding the glyphs, fighthing a bunch of robots and how the girl suddenly fainted as soon as she walked out and ask her a few questions. Other than that she had no clue what's the relation with herself with this event.
