''We Nephilim should work together, not fight a meaningless war.''

Hearing those words, the Valkyries found themselves struck with a great deal of confusion.

[What...] Miku was about to ask the obvious question, but she couldn't bring herself.

It's not that she didn't understand what the enemy had said; the problem was in her inability to accept what she had heard. Anyone with functioning eyes could see that the Valkyries and the Nephilim are connected in some way, the Doctor has proven that by replicating one of the enemy's weapons using the heart of a Valkyrie.

''Listen, there is a lot that you don't know so things must be confusing.'' The silver haired Nephilim spoke. ''But don't worry. Our queen understands your struggles and wishes to save you form the life of servitude you forced upon you.''

[Life of... servitude?]

For a long three seconds the Valkyries remained silent observing the enemy standing at their center, showing no distress despite being surrounded.

[This is the first time we have met one from your side who's willing to talk.]

The first to speak was Nino. Knowing there isn't much they could do against their enemy she decided to see if she could prolong their conversation to buy them more time.

''Yeah, actually we have only recently started coming yo this world ourselves.'' Said the Nephilim, scratching her left cheek with an awkward smile. ''We never expected the humans over here to retaliate using a simpler version of our kind so we had to intervene."

Opening her helmet and revealing her face, the Japanese doll like Valkyrie studied her opponent then spoke once more, this time choosing to introduce herself.

''I would give you my serial code but I don't really like it that much.'' She said. ''You can call me Nino.''

''Nino, huh... I'm Mjolnir. Nice to meet you.''

''So, miss... Meownir?... am I right to say that by not wanting to fight your kind you meant us?''

''Of course.'' Ignoring the fat that her name was mispronounced, the Nephilim flashed them a bright smile. ''You have all been created by that Odin, right? That makes us sisters in some sense.''

[What kind of sick joke is this?] Having listened to the short exchange, CS finally snapped out of her daze and directed her anger at the enemy once more. [You show up and massacre billions and now you're claiming to be one of us?]

''... I see you have yet to get over your attachment to humans...'' heaving a long sigh, Mjolnir showed a sign of sorrow, although her smile returned soon enough. ''At the very least you should have some sense of individuality by now. I mean, you wouldn't tolerate talking to me if you're still under the humans' command.''

[I guess we should be thankful to you then.]

Though she didn't mind being able to make her own decisions, CS couldn't say she enjoyed it that much. Things had been much easier when all she had to do was follow orders and fight. Now she was paralyzed by fear leaving her shaking in the face of an enemy beyond her capabilities. The frustration she felt at her own weakness was becoming too much to bear.

"Anyways, the good news is that you won't have to fight anymore." The Nephilim spoke, shifting her attention back to Nino. "All you have to do is submit to our queen and she would allow you to survive."

"Submit, you say?"

"Yes. I mean, do you have any reason to defy us? Humans created you to fight for them, but you don't have to anymore. There aren't that many of them left and once we've dealt with them you won't have anything to worry about. Not that they can stop you even if they tried."

"... understood."

Hearing Nino's answer, the fifteen Valkyries whipped their heads in her direction. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

"We have already been given the choice to fight or not. Now that we know our safety would be guaranteed if we just give up then there is no point in us keeping this up."

[Nino, you…] B3 muttered, her teeth gritted.

"There is no way we're coming out of this as the winners. In the first place none of us asked to be made. Let the humans fight their war on their own."

"Good. You seem to be the smartest one around here." Said Mjolnir, nodding as her smile widened.

"I just have a few questions." Nino spoke again, her voice rather relaxed for someone talking to the enemy. "What are we supposed to do from here on?" 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"Hm?"

Not understanding the question, the Nephilim tilted her head a little asking the Valkyrie to elaborate.

"Well, ever since we opened our eyes for the first time all we have done was fight this war." Nino said. "We didn't have much choice with the world being on the bring of destruction, but even when we weren't on the battlefield se simply didn't have much to do. If you take away what was our purpose, the reason we existed so far, how are we supposed to keep going?"

"Hmmmm… that's a good question." Said Mjolnir, holding her chin with a difficult expression.

"Let me ask another question first." Said Nino. "How do the Nephilim on your side usually spend their time?"

"Well, we just do whatever interests us." Said the Nephilim. "I mean, I'm sure you've had a thing or two you cared about beside fighting, right? Like a hobby for example."

"A hobby, huh?" Nino muttered.

"Well, you'll have all the time in the world to think about it. We are practically immortal so there is no need to-"

[W-what? What do you… Doctor?]

Miku's flustered voice interrupted the conversation as she looked yo as she spoke. With all eyes drawn to her she nodded while whispering to herself, having cut the other channels to make sure no one was listening in on the call she had recieved. After a number of yelps and gasps the young blond Valkyrie seemed to slump her shoulders in defeat. She turned to face the Nephilim, staring at her for a few seconds before clearing her thoughts.

[Our leader would like to meet you.]

"Your leader?" Mjolnir raised an eyebrow, a look of displeasure overtaking her face the next instant. "You mean the human giving you orders? Forget it, even if they start begging now we are going to kill all of them anyway."

A moment of silence passed. Miku whispered and nodded a few more times, relaying the Nephilim's words to the caller. A few seconds later she looked up again, her voice shaking a little.

[He said they aren't asking for a ceasefire. They just want to ask a few questions and confirm a few things.]
