( Yuuki's POV )
There were a few hours left until dawn as I flew towards the portal we detected, and as I had night vision, I could clearly see the people who had crossed the portal, those were the Sarashiki sisters, and I had mixed feelings seeing them here.
On the one hand, explaining things to them would be easy because they knew me, and on the other hand, I felt a little guilty because the reason they were here most likely had to do with me.
The strange creatures approached them as they marched to our base station, and when one creature jumped at them I reached forward and charged a Cero laser, but before I could fire Tatenashi was able to dispatch the enemy with one move and I calmed down but after that death, the creatures that were moving at a fixed pace gave a burst of speed and a ten-meter creature grabbed Tatenashi with a giant claw, she couldn't free herself from the creature and she was losing consciousness quickly, and when her barriers come down something much worse will happen.
The scene filled me with fury, and my armor extracted some of my blood to mix with my Cero laser to create a more devastating attack called Gran Rey Cero.
My attack wiped out the enemy,.and I flew to catch Tatenashi, she was unconscious, so I started healing her, and at that moment, Kanzashi, who was below us, shouted my name.
I went down next to her and saw that she was crying with a smile on her face, I put my hand on her head to calm her down and told her that I would take care of this, she responded with a cute smile and a nod.
Yuuki: [ Gran Rey Cero! ]
I raised my hand again and unleashed a devastating attack, moving my hand slowly in an arc, I erased the front line of the enemy forces, giving us enough space to escape.
I deactivated my armor and was going to gently release Tatenashi but she didn't let go, I already healed her and she should be conscious, but when I looked at her face she had her eyes closed and a small smile.
Before I could do anything, Kanzashi jumped to hug me, she wasn't upset with her sister like the last few times, she had a calm expression, and since I didn't have the will to push them aside, I returned with the two girls glued to me.

The ones who went to the second portal were Rei and Joyce in their Frame Gears, we returned to the station at the same time, and when the Gears' cockpits opened, I saw another couple of familiar faces sharing the booths, they were our teachers, Chifuyu and Maya.
They seemed somewhat confused, Maya more than Chifuyu, they must have also had an encounter with the strange creatures, when they saw me, they approached me asking for answers, correctly assuming that I knew what was going on.
I had no problem answering their questions, but we had an army to stop, I moved into the command room, and our unexpected guests followed behind me.
Matsu: Good work out there, a quarter of the enemy forces have been eliminated.
Yuuki: A quarter? I was sure they took a little more than that.
Matsu: Our numbers were somewhat short; the total number before was in the four thousand range.
Chifuyu: Yuuki, what are those things?
Yuuki: I wish I knew that, sensei? What we do know is that they're a dangerous invasive species from another world, possibly being commanded by someone else.
Chifuyu: From another world? You're joking.
Yuuki: Not at all, sensei, you are now part of the select group of people who have seen a different world.
Tatenashi: I believe in Yuuki, a lot of things make sense now.
Hearing my words, Chifuyu stared at me, what I was saying was unbelievable, but I think deep down she knew I was telling the truth, besides, Tatenashi expressed her confidence in me, probably thinking about our mission at the Hydra base.
Nosotros nos quedamos mirando fijamente a los ojos de el otro por un momento y Kanzashi was the one who broke the silence when she raised her hand as if we were in class and said something that intrigued me a little.
Kanzashi: Excuse me, those things are called BETAs... I think, maybe.
Matsu: And how would you know that?
Kanzashi: The first time I saw those things, those words were above them, now I can see everyone's name above their heads, so I think what I saw was the name of those creatures.
What she was saying sounded like a mystic eye ability, that could be distinguished physically with a change in eye color or a transformation of the pupil, I walked over and looked at her very closely to confirm that, which made her blush.
Indeed, I could see in her left eye three faint circles with four lines crossing them, similar to a gun's crosshair.
Yuuki: Have you experienced anything similar in the past?
Kanzashi: No, it only started after we came to this place.
Yuuki: I see, congratulations, it seems you've awakened a kind of mystical eye just like me.
Kanzashi: Just like you?
Yuuki: Yes, you know how I say I'm good at seeing through lies, that's the ability of my eyes.
Explaining a little about her new magical ability, she didn't doubt what I said, and she put on a cute smile, I think anyone would be happy to hear news like that.
I could see that our guests now had more questions, but now, I had to focus on stopping an invasion.
The girls left the station, and they got behind our remotely controlled fleet, the only ones who stayed at the station were our scientists Matsu and Regina, our special guests and the strongest fighters Tsukiumi, Miu, and I, in case a world traveler shows up.
