Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"Uhm, it\'s good if you guys leave, you\'ve done a lot already and I really appreciate everything, but that\'s enough. Please take care!" Gaia tried her best to smile while urging everyone to leave. She didn\'t want them to risk even more for her sake.

But with that being said, she could not help but feel slightly sad. \'Well, at least I won\'t get to miss them since I\'ll die… if not, then they\'ll come to find me.\' 

Thinking like that, Gaia smiled with a rather complex expression that was filled with conflicting emotions.

"Huh? Why are you acting like this? Did I ever say that you\'re not coming with us?" Kayla asked with raised eyebrows before answering her own question: "No, I didn\'t. Do you know why? Because we\'re obviously not leaving you behind, you\'re coming with us!"

"Huh?" Gaia was surprised. "I\'m coming with you? Why? No, how? My body is the entirety of planet Earth, how do I-"

"Oi take it easy!" Kayla patted her on the shoulders. "Well, as for why, I have two reasons.. First, you\'re one of my friends, and I don\'t leave my friends behind. And second, Raven would skin me alive if I did, hehe…" she laughed awkwardly as she imagined just how mad Raven would be...

"And as for how; you relax, just leave it to me!" Kayla patted her own chest proudly. "However, I want to make sure that no one is left here. So everyone other than Gaia and I, off you go!"

Gaia was left speechless after hearing Kayla\'s words and didn\'t know what to say or how to respond.

"Wait, even me? Kay, I\'m leaving too?" Liz asked, breaking the silence.

"Err…" looking at her, Kayla didn\'t know what to do at first, but then she came up with an answer: "Well, you won\'t be able to help people in the Demon Realm nor the other side of the Teleportation Gates, so I guess you could stay. But everyone else, leave now!"

"Mistress, may I stay with you?" Raykun suddenly asked. 

Liz didn\'t answer. But she simply looked at Kayla with inquiring eyes. 

"Ugh, sure…" Kayla said before sending everyone away. Although not everyone was happy, especially Maria, Axane, and Aella, they knew that they could not help here and they\'d only be a burden.

After waiting for a while and making sure that everyone has left Earth, including the two Planes, Kayla started with her plans.

Now, the only people that were left on the planet were Kayla, Liz, Raykun, Jericho who was undergoing her evolution, and Calcer who was submerged in his Sea of Blood.

"Alright, Raykun, since you decided to stay, do me a favour and take Jericho\'s cocoon away from Earth, and keep her safe," Kayla instructed.

Although he wasn\'t happy to receive orders from her, he had no choice but to do as told. Liz even glared at him because he moved slowly at first...

"Liz, you go to Calcer and- oh wait… I\'d rather not let you witness the Sea of Blood." Kayla quickly corrected herself.

"No, I\'ll go, it\'s okay!" Liz tried to say, but Kayla merely shook her head, not allowing further negotiations

"Gaia, you send a clone to visit Calcer," Kayla said. "Tell him that I need every angel bone he has collected, including the ones from the strongest three!"

"On it!" Quickly, Gaia\'s body suddenly split into two as one moved quickly and disappeared and the other stayed.

"Are you planning to make me a new body?" Gaia asked, doubt visible in her eyes. From Kayla\'s moves and words up until this moment, it seemed as though she was planning to create her a new body!

With that being said, although it may sound simple, it was by no means so. Especially that she was a whole planet!

"Hehe, you don\'t have to doubt Kay, she\'s Raven\'s second half!" Liz said with a giggle.

Gaia looked at her with a surprised expression and didn\'t know what to say. Kayla on the other hand was left speechless because of another reason.

"Wait!" She finally managed to say. "You trust me because of Raven and not because of who I am?" 

"Uhm…" Liz nodded slowly. "Um, why do you sound offended? Raven is the person I trust the most on this planet, so, err, me associating you with her is good, no?"

"Ugh, whatever. Don\'t worry about it, you\'re good…" Kayla said, but she didn\'t manage to convince anyone. "And, Gaia, yes I\'ll be making you a new body!"

Moments later, Gaia\'s other clone returned with a silver bracelet in her hand. "Here!" She said expectantly. "Oh, I also told Calcer to move to outer space."

"Alright, let\'s start!" Kayla said as she took the bracelet with a smile. "Err, there will be bones involved, Liz, are you-"

"I\'ll be okay!" Liz said quickly.

"Okay, feel free to go to Raykun if you feel like it," Kayla said as she started working.

First, descending to the ground, she summoned everything that was stored inside Calcer\'s bracelet: these were bones. A lot of them!

A mountain of white radiant, and strangely clean, bones was suddenly present in front of the group.

Looking at them, Kayla\'s expression changed as she alternated glances between the bone mountain and Liz.

"I\'m fine!" Liz said and even waved her hands at herself as if to prove it.

"No, no, that\'s not why I\'m looking at you," Kayla said quickly. "I just realized that I haven\'t thought things through previously as I was so busy with finding a way to create the body that I didn\'t seem to consider all of the details. But hey I\'m lucky that you\'re here now!"

"Hehe, what do you need me to do?" Liz smiled knowingly.

"Grind them!" Kayla simply replied, which caused Liz to back off suddenly.

"Hehe, sorry I\'m okay, I was just surprised. I\'ll do it…" Liz said as she swallowed loudly. Looking at the bone mountain, she seemed slightly lost as she didn\'t know how to do it or where to start from.

"Um, Liz I\'ll take care of it, just support me." Kayla said as she felt Liz\'s internal torment. Liz nodded shyly and looked at her feet in embarrassment.

"Gaia, create a large crater to hold this bone mountain inside,"Kayla instructed without paying much attention to Liz, simply because she didn\'t want to make her feel any worse. 

Gaia started working. As she did, Kayla flew towards the mountain and collected some special sets of shining white bones. 

These were the ones that belonged to the strongest three angels, and to the twenty Star Ten angels. This meant that whatever is left belonged to Star Five angels and below.

Storing them into her bracelet, she backed away and allowed Gaia to work on her own.

"Liz, what level of control do you have over your Dark Matter thingy?" Kayla asked in a weird way.

"Huh? You mean this?" Liz asked as she opened her pale palm. Inside, a blindingly black ball started to form.

"Uhm, this thing," Kayla nodded. "Say, can you condense it into a sword form? When me and Raven, err, fought against you last time, you could do that, right? Can you do it now?"

"Uhm, I should be able to," Saying that, Liz started working on creating her dark sword.

Kayla watched silently as the two worked. A few moments later, Gaia finished her task. "Done!"

"Alright, good job!" Kayla praised. With a thought, a small ball of dark purple and silver Cyber Particles left her body. Slowly, it turned into a small version of herself.

With a wave of her hand, the small Kayla sent the larger one into the crater that was filled with bones.

Swiftly, the large version of Kayla switched forms and turned into what seemed to be liquid Cyber Particles. Quickly, it dove down into the pile of angel bones.

"Alright, I\'m done too! Wait wh- ah..." Liz suddenly said before being surprised by Kayla\'s small body.

"Hehe," the small version grinned in a rather cute manner. "Good job, Liz!"

"Uhm," Liz was still confused but she nodded at the praise nonetheless.

"Okay, Gaia, take the dark sword and start cutting these bones!" Kayla instructed while throwing out the strongest sets of bones.

"On it!" Gaia said enthusiastically as she held the sword and started chopping the bones. "Err, by the way, just cut them? Like, no specifics?"

"Nope, just chop them up!" Kayla said. Hearing that, Gaia nodded and continued.

Not long after, the bones were already cut into small pieces. And although it seemed easy, it was in fact all thanks to Liz\'s high rank. Otherwise, there would have been no easy way to cut the bones of a rank Star Twenty angel, especially when Gaia is only a Star Nine.

"Nicely done!" Kayla said with a smile. "Well, from now on, me and Gaia will be doing the work, Liz, you can leave. Thanks for your help!"
