After Lara's Ceremony,

"It seems that the ceremony is finally over." Lara sighed. "Seems that time flows really fast" Lara added. "It really does…" Lotti said as she attacked Lara. Lara luckily dodged her attack and summons out her chain. "Baskervilles, I knew it" Lara replied. "Hmmm, looks like there's no need for us to ourselves introduce to you, well you already know us…" Lotti said. "Why wouldn't I know? You're the ones who sent Lacie Baskerville to the depths of the Abyss" Lara replied as both of their chains are fighting. "Hmm, so you know about her?" Lotti asked. "Of course, all the information of the Abyss is locked in my head." Lara replied as her chain attacked Lotti's. "Hmm, as expected from the Book of the Abyss… You're such a useful toy to us" Lotti said as she and her chain dodged. "I pity those who use me just to revive one person." Lara replied. "Well let's see about it" Lotti said as she grinned. "Lotti! I want to join the fight too!" Lily shouted as she joined the battle. Suddenly, another chain joined in the battle, but somehow the chain looks different from the others, it looked so very fearsome and powerful. "Well, two versus one is quite unfair." Mikhail said as he joined in the battle. "Who are you?" Lara asked Mikhail. "I'll fill you in with the details later; right now we have to get rid of them." Mikhail said. "W-What kind of chain is that?" Lotti was shocked as she saw Mikhail's chain. "I see that the Baskervilles don't know about the Abyss' Ancient Rounds" Mikhail said. "The Abyss' Ancient Rounds, somehow I've heard that before. It's some kind of a group of the Ancient Abyss Contractors formed." Lara said.

Meanwhile,

"Gil!" Oz called out to Gil, while Gil was spacing out after the ceremony. "Oi, Oz! What's wrong with seaweed head?" Alice asked. "Hey, are you okay Gil?" Oz asked. "You've been spacing out since Lara's ceremony ended." Oz added. Gil continued spacing out. "Could it be you're depressed that you never got to dance with her?" Oz said. "What are you talking about?" Gil replied as he blushed. "Oh, stop pretending that you don't like her, Gil, we all know that you like her that much" Oz teased him. And then, they heard a loud crash outside. "What was that?" Oz asked. "I think I smelled the Baskervilles. They're here." Alice said as she continued sniffing out the scents. "What? They're here again?" Oz said. They suddenly heard a loud crash again outside the mansion, "What was that?" Oz said. "Probably the work of the Baskervilles" Alice replied.

On the other hand,

Break and Sharon also heard the loud crash outside. "It seems that they're here" Break exclaimed. "Who do you mean by that, Break?" Sharon asked. "The Baskervilles, they're here." Break replied. "Baskervilles? What are they doing here?" Sharon asked. "I don't know, but I better check it out. Please stay here, ojou-sama." Break said. "Ok then, please be careful Break." Sharon replied.

Back at the battle,

"The Ancient Abyss? I've never heard that before." Lotti exclaimed. "Good. Well then, now you will know how The Ancient Abyss' Rounds" Mikhail replied as his chain attacked the Baskervilles. "We need to fall back now!" Lotti commanded the Baskervilles. "You're lucky that we never got to finish this fight, Lara Kristall. But I'll see you soon." Lotti added. "Well there goes the fun." Mikhail exclaimed. "Who are you?" Lara asked. "Mikhail Ashford, it's a pleasure to meet you ojou-sama." Mikhail replied. "I see. I'm Lara, Lara Kristall, and it seems that you know a lot more about the Abyss." Lara replied. "Well it seems that way." Mikhail said.
