The Holy City's Survival
In order to save Clare the warriors headed for the Holy City, they need to get there before the awaken Dust Eater.
-Helen asks if this is for real. They headed out from the organization and only needed 10 days to reach Rabona. If they were to travel on foot, it would have taken them at least 20 days. The ship is incredible Helen says. Miria says that since they don't have to climb mountains and go through forests that is one of the reason as well.
-Tabitha senses that Cassandra is still very far away and because she is not traveling at high speed, they have arrived before Cassandra in at least 6 or 7 days.
-Miria says that they should have enough time.
-Raki wants to go on ahead first to check on Cid and Galk.
-Octavia is like oh! good afternoon. Raki asks if she is a citizen of Rabona, she says no as she came here from the west. Raki asks if she is going to Rabona, and if so they could go together since they are heading there.
-Octavia says that she is fine here since they are no longer any citizens inside Rabona. Raki asks what happened and why is there no one?
-Deneve tells Raki that it doesn't look like she wants to fight them, but they should still keep their distance. Raki looks around and realize there are many people surrounding Rabona.
-Deneve says that all of them are awaken beings. Raki is surprised. Deneve tells Raki that he may have encountered some when he was with Clare and perhaps from the organization as well. When the warriors lost their human hearts they become those monsters.
-Miria says that these awaken beings don't look like the average ones, they are probably all once single digits and they all possess high ranking levels of power.
-Miria asks Octavia if there are no citizens in Rabona, then what have they done? Octavia replies that they haven't done anything because since a few days ago all of the citizens have evacuated the city and only small number of troops remained. Octavia tells Miria if they want the detail they should ask the troops that have stayed behind and perhaps their comrades are inside as well. Tabitha senses that Galatea, Clarice, and Miata are inside Rabona.
-Helen asks what the hell are they doing here and why are they all gathered here. Chronos replies that it's probably due their curiosity. A power that is not just beyond theirs, but beyond that of an Abyssal Ones as well. Someone with this power is probably the strongest one in all of the warriors' history, and thus they want to witness it and see it with their own eyes.
-Chronos says that they want to see the faces of the ones of have destroyed the organization as well. Miria asks why. Chronos replies that they are not stupid, the conflicts between the abyssal ones and how the organization make their moves have direct effects on their life and survival, and thus they naturally would gather information on the organization. They never dreamt that the organization would be destroyed. Chronos says that is the reason and they have all gathered here out of their own free will and they have kept their distance in case something happens they each are confident that they could escape on their own. Chronos says that they are a group of old foxes that have gathered here to see a show and they are all eagerly waiting to see that interesting thing.
-Miria says let's go. Helen asks if it's ok to just leave them like that. Miria tells them that the guy that was talking is No.4 Chronos and the guy standing behind him is No.6 Lex or Rax from the male generation. The girl that first greeted them is probably past No.2 Octavia (she has a nickname but not sure how to translate it correctly). The others are probably past No.3 and No.5, if they can't deal with them properly, then they may be even trickier to handle than the Abyssal One.
-Miria says that their curiosity as the reason for them to be here may not be a lie. They were all once warriors themselves with battle experiences, they wanted to see the awaken form of the strongest warrior may not be too unreasonable. Miria says that if things do go unexpectedly, then how many of them could really escape unharmed and there is no needs for them to ask.
-Clarice cries to Captain Miria! Helen asks why is she calling captain all the sudden. Clarice asks what happened and what is the going in the surrounding area? Miria tells her to calm down and that they are ones with questions.
-Galatea says that it is really frightening, never thought Miria would really come back alive. Miria apologizes because of her lone action she have caused Rabona to be attacked by awaken beings. Galatea says let the past be the past, and comparing to this, the matter at hands is more urgent. Miria asks Galatea that she heard from the group outside that all citizen are gone and asks what had happened. Galatea replies it's faster and easier for them to see than it is for her to tell them.
-Cid teases Raki saying that he is still alive and he has grown even bigger and he is catching up to Galk soon.
- Miria asks about the ground troops that stay behind. Galatea replies that they are volunteery troops as she told them that they are enough, but the troops still insist on staying in Rabona because they wanted to guard it themselves and they are prepared for death.
-Miria asks what is that. Helen says impossible, you must be kidding, this one's half of her body is already coming out! Miria asks Deneve if this is the one. Deneve replies that is her and it is a face she never wants to see again, and that without question that is the one that is beyond an Abyssal One.
-Galatea tells them that as you can see, this thing started to change its shape around 10 days ago and around 5 days ago it has become this humanoid shape. Galatea has thought about stabbing Priscilla with a sword or bring this thing somewhere else, but she is not sure how it would affect Priscilla. In the end, she has decided to just kept the blob the way it is. Miria asks if the citizens have evacuated to the another city and that the choice Galatea made was correct. Miria says that if she just stab Priscilla, it may have affect the traveling speed of the distance Abyssal One.
-Miria wants to tell the volunteery troops and even Raki to evacuate with the citizen to somewhere safe and it be best for them as the Holy City Rabona would perhaps become ruins and nothing would be left in there in a few days.
- Cid says that he is happy that he just meet up with old friends, but now he hears devastating news. Miria apologizes and tells him that even if they try their best, she think that the possibility that everything would go according to their plan might be very low. She wants the troops to evacuate the Holy City just like the citizen did.
-Cid tells Miria that they have reject Sister Galatea's suggestion to evacuate. Everyone that have decided to stay have firmly made up their mind, doesn't matter how the situation have changed, they would not change their mind. Miria tells them that she understands and sorry for asking them again.
-Clarice asks what should Miata and her do. Miria tells her that they have taken over Galatea's work as the eye, and so Miata and Clarice should meet up with the Rabona citizens. Clarice says that if it's possible she wants to stay in Rabona as well.
-Helen screams at her asking what did she say, and that she knows very well that it is a life and death situation here, and what can a colored hair like her do. Clarice replies that everyone in the city have treated her kindly and she really like this city very much. Clarice says that even her if only a little she wishes to help protect this city. Miata tells mama Clarice don't cry.
-Miria apologizes to Clarice, she tells that her that she is just like them, she is truly a full fledge warrior. Miria tells Clarice to guard the Holy City Rabona with the troops and remind her a city is still a city without citizens living in it. Deneve tells Helen to remember to go apologize later on.
-Cid tells them that before the monster comes, feel free to use Rabona as they need and help themselves to the food.
-Cid tells Miria that the thing she ask him to do before, since only he went before so he could only bring back one or two, but now he had used the whole troops, they have gathered all of it together that were left inside the city. It is up to them whether they want to use it or not. (Not sure what Cid is referring to.)
-Chronos says that the Abyssal One (Cassandra) has started to accelerate her speed.

That cheerful, innocent smile, the way she sits, her youthful appearance. It all reminds me of Riful (and of how much I miss her). I like the chapter, even though I have no idea what they are talking about. I think this is finally a real good chapter again after seemingly years

that's some guts, especially when telling to a Claymore who just bring the downfall of Organization that they will not listen to her and retreat from the city. Badass to the core.
