Back in the Past: the Last Mission

"Master, wake up…"

Jane heard a very familiar voice. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision became blurry because of the light and mist in her surroundings. She blinked several times, instinctively rubbing her eyes in an attempt to clear her sight.

"Where am I?" Jane whispered, confused. She glanced around, seeing nothing but the pure white space stretching out infinitely. "Am I dead?" She felt like she was floating in the air.

Her heart clenched in her chest as she tried to piece together what had happened. Jane reflexively brought her fingers to her temples, expecting to feel a hole in her head. She shot herself right in front of Monica, Tatsumi, and Vincent. It was her admission of defeat. Killing them and staying alive were all meaningless since Ethan and Nathan were gone.

"Master! You've done it again for the second time around." Bam-Bam's upset voice resounded in her ears. It turned out the magical creature was flying behind her.
