Chapter 488 - Impending Danger
"Is that everything?" Kana asked. She wanted to make sure before deciding what to do with this cube.
"Yes, there is nothing else." Eie replied.
"Then let's…" Kana was about to have Creige send it into a void someplace when Misaki suddenly yelled out.
"Master! Don't get rid of it! If you do, I wil…" Misaki pouted her lower lip and looked at the floor as she continued: "I am only able to operate because I am connected to the cube and use it as a power source… I have a fragment within me that gives me the power I need to move around. If you get rid of it, I believe I will end up shutting down for good."
Kana frowned upon hearing this. She did not want Misaki to be shut down because of this. "Kana, why not make a spell that will contain the cube so it can't be touched by others yet still allow the energy link between Misaki to stay intact, shrink it and then place it inside Misaki?" Creige suggested. He figured by shrinking it into a tiny object and also containing the cube so it can not be tampered with by others. It would ensure that it will always be safe.
"This… I can try. Misaki, will that work if we placed the cube inside you?" Kana asked.
"Mmm… It should work!" Misaki became excited that they were willing to think of another way to contain the cube and allow her to stay alive.
"Then I will do just that." Kana took a deep breath and waved her hand, disconnecting all the wires from the cube itself. She then began imagining the process in her head of how the magic she wished to create would work. After ten minutes and getting a vivid image of what she wanted, Kana softly spoke: "Creation magic: Encapsulate."
The whole room began to shake as a bright blue light surrounded the galaxy cube. As soon as it was completely covered, the light began to shrink slowly. At first, it was slow, but after a few seconds, it suddenly shrank down to the size of a small pea. It floated over to Kana and gently rested in her hand.

Mortal realm…
In a building off the beaten track within RedLeaf Academy, a building designated for research, in one of the laboratories, A group of researchers were staring at a strange object. "You say they found this in a yellow portal?"
"Yes, the student who found it found it in a ruin. He said he brought it back because of the strange markings on it. It seemed to have been chewed by something."
"It is very strange indeed. Put it over to the side, we will look more into it later."
"Alright. Should we contain it for safety reasons?"
"It's just a stone with some holes in it, nothing to worry about. Just leave it on the desk there and come help me with this."
After the young researcher placed the reddish rock onto the table and walked away, no one in the room noticed a small insect the size of a normal house fly crawling out of one of the holes. It glowed a strange red color before silently flapping its wings and flying into the air duct overhead.
At the same time, in a dark region of space, a bright red glow suddenly lit up the area as a round mass the size as large as one of the biggest suns in the universe suddenly broke apart into tens of trillions of small insects and flew towards a certain direction.
At this time, the researchers at the RedLeaf Academy had no idea that they had just triggered the biggest apocalyptic event that Xerneria, the planet they lived on, will ever experience. The same thing that had destroyed many, many worlds was making its way towards them as they continued their daily routines completely unaware.

Realm of gods…
"So, what do you plan to do now?" Creige asked.
"Mmm… I plan to have Misaki go with Eie and Tri'an and have them analyze her with the equipment upstairs. They may be able to create a male counterpart for her so she will stop stripping and rubbing against every machine she sees. But I plan to spend a few nights with my Handsome Husband before heading to the mortal realm for a little bit. I need to warn them about the threat that is out there and that they should stop bringing things back from those magic realms." Kana did not wish to have her friends and family end up like all the other planets, especially if those things are able to eat everything in existence.
"You do not think you should do it now?" Creige asked. He figured since it seemed to be a serious matter that Kana might want to head to the mortal realm sooner than later.
"Maybe you're right. I will do that first." Kana sighed as she got up on her tiptoes and kissed Creige's lips. "When I get back, we will… As Misaki would say… Rub some servos together."
Creige let out a laugh and picked Kana up, and spun her around. "Then I will be waiting."

Deep underground, a small little insect flew through the tunnels created by the insecoid race until it finally came upon a massive underground city full of life. The insect floated in the air and looked around. When it spotted the highest building in the city it flew over to it and landed on top of it. It began turning red once more and began flapping its wings, small particles unseen to the naked eye began to spread out from it.
After many hours the insectoids down below all began to slow down before coming to a full stop. Their eyes glowing red as they stood there motionless like a zombie. This scenario was playing out through the entire underground city. Slowly expanding outwards from the tall building the small little insect was on.
The only ones to take notice of this were the two men in black hiding high above the city. "What in the world? What's wrong with them?"
"Go and report this to her highness and be quick about it. I will stay here and observe everything."
