Sisbell Lou Nebulis IX/Synopsis

## History

One year ago, Sisbell was captured and held in a prison of the Heavenly Empire. She eventually escaped with the help of Iska, under the reasoning that she held no real value as a hostage since she was just a little girl with a weak astral power. Iska then handed her a few silver coins, which she used to get into a bus to a neutral city.

After getting off at a Nebulis Sovereignty encampment, Sisbell was in disbelief that the boy had truly helped her escape. She then found out a day later that Iska, the youngest Saint Disciple in history, was sentenced with life imprisonment for treason against the nation when he aided with her escape.

Sisbell was originally sociable and overflowing with intellectual curiosity, using her astral power to see the world around her. What started as simple curiosity would later become her undoing, as she accidentally discovered the presence of a "monster" lurking within the palace halls. Though it was still "human" for now, it was ready to cast away its disguise and bare its fangs at the queen. If she told her mother, Sisbell would just become a target. Without anyone to rely on, she became a recluse and began suspecting everyone she came across, including her own family.

## Synopsis

### Volume 3

When an emergency alert was issued, Sisbell's attendant informed her about the current situation of the Sovereignty; that Imperial forces were sighted on their homeland, and that Salinger the Transcendent has escaped from prison.

### Volume 4

After hearing reports that Alsamira planned to join the Empire, the Queen sent Sisbell there to investigate due to her particular astral power. By a twist of fate, Sisbell reunites with Iska, the former Saint Disciple who helped her escape. Wanting to recruit him at all costs, Sisbell gets separated from Shuvalts and eventually finds Iska. She begs him to work with her against a certain threat within Nebulis, but their talk is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Lord Mask.

Because Sisbell was seen talking with an Imperial soldier, Mask took it as a sign of betrayal and tried to apprehend her. Unfortunately for any one of them, a Witch Hunter was also sent after her. Even though Iska is able to defeat the robot, it releases an Astral Spirit that captures Sisbell. With the help of Alice, who barely arrived, the two defeat the spirit and free Sisbell. After returning to the hotel, Alice tries to question Sisbell, but she only reveals that she was captured by the Empire a year ago and Iska was the one who freed her.

### Volume 5

Because her location was leaked by someone, it became evident that she was being targeted, so she needed a team that would protect her. In exchange for their help, Sisbell offers Unit 907 skin bandages that could hide astral crests and their radiating astral energy, knowing that they'll accept because of Mismis' current situation.

After sending Shuvalts to inform the Queen about her current predicament, she goes out with Iska for smoothies while disguised. However, they are recognized by Alice and Rin, who secretly follow and spy on them. When it was late, Rin approaches them and informs Sisbell that they are there to protect her by orders of the Queen, but Sisbell refuses their protection. Iska eventually returns to the hotel with Sisbell back on his back, as she fell asleep due to exhaustion.

When the attempt on the Queen's life failed, the perpetrator switched targets to Sisbell. After arriving in Liesbaden and fighting Iska, Sisbell recognizes their attacker as Vichyssoise, a member of the Hydra household. Sisbell then watches as the girl transforms into a terrifying monster that attempts to kill them all. Although Iska is able to defeat the monster, Vichyssoise left the two of them with a sense of uncertainty and fear.

### Volume 6

Days later, the group waited for the queen's envoy to escort them back to the Central State. However, they were intercepted by Elletear, who knew about Unit 907's real identities and coerced them into accompanying her to the Lou family's villa.

That night, Sisbell stopped Elletear from sweet-talking Iska into sleeping with her. Alice comes as well and the three fight for the right to sleep with Iska, eventually deciding to settle it with a lottery game. Alice wins the right to sleep next to him, but the four share the bed since it was big. While the two were fighting, Sisbell and Elletear were both dreaming of Iska.

Before Elletear returned to the palace, as per Alice's mission, she commented about how Sisbell felt considering that Shuvalts was kidnapped. Because she said it with certainty, Sisbell immediately realized that Elletear was the traitor. Afraid and quavering, Sisbell was told to stay obediently in the villa and he might come back to her, or that's what Elletear's instinct was telling her.

When the Imperial raid started, Alice was called back to the palace as well. Iska noticed Alice's sudden change and asked Sisbell to replay Alice's last call, eventually finding out about the attack. Because Elletear perfectly planned this, Alice would be late to defend the palace and would also leave Sisbell's side, allowing the Hydra to do their part.

Members of the Hydra family then stormed into the villa disguised as Imperial soldiers, seeking to capture Sisbell.

### Volume 9

After being kidnapped by the Hydra Family, Sisbell is brought to the Empire to be experimented on by Kelvina Sofita Elmos. She is eventually found by Rin and Unit 907, but despite being freed by the maid, Sisbell runs to Iska's arms. After Kelvina releases the Beasts of Katalisk to stop them, the princess is escorted out by Unit 907 while Iska and Rin chase after the mad scientist. When one of the artificial astral spirits finds them, Sisbell's group is forced to run as their weapons have no effect on the spirit. It eventually catches up and grabs Sisbell's ankle by phasing through the floor. As it prepares to fire a powerful energy beam, Sisbell tells Unit 907 to leave and save themselves. Fortunately, the artificial spirit is obliterated by the astral spirits that were trapped in the facility after being released by Iska and Rin.

Both parties regroup and prepare to leave, but astral thread suddenly shoots toward Sisbell, causing Rin to lunge toward it and get bound instead. Risya In Empire appears and then introduces them to the Emperor Yunmelngen, who tells Iska to come to the capital and also extends his invitation to the Third Princess Sisbell.

### Volume 10

Sisbell develops a fever due to exhaustion and the poor conditions she experienced while imprisoned by Kelvina, but she is slowly recovering. She uses her power to unlock Rin's communication device and inform Alice that Rin was taken by the Emperor. At night, she attempts to sneak into Iska's room, only to trip on a wire trap set by Nene and Mismis, who lecture her for the whole night.

After Rin was captured by Risya, Sisbell and the 907th Unit are heading to the imperial capital to meet the Emperor of his request of Sisbell's Astral Power.

Sisbell and the 907th Unit were under attacked by Luclezeus (one of the Eight Great Apostles) in attempt to kill both the princess and the Unit of preventing them of revealing the truth. Luclezeus fires laserbeam at Sisbell only for Iska to push her out of the way. Sisbell tries to distract him with illusions, but the barrier interferes with her powers. Fortunately, the two are saved by Risya, who uses her astral thread to make the giant fall and miss. When the 907th Unit destroy Luclezeus' barrier pillars, Sisbell once more used her powers to create an illusion of the Founder Nebulis to distract Luclezeus, allowing the 907th Unit to kill the Apostle by destroying the cage contained an Astral Spirit.

### Volume 11

Sisbell heads underground, to where the first vortex emerged, and uses her powers to recreate what transpired a hundred years ago in the Imperial capital. The projections end after she runs out of energy, and everyone is overwhelmed by the revelation that the Eight Great Apostles orchestrated everything, from the vortex to turning the public opinion against astral mages. Then suddenly, the cavern where they stood shakes, as something occurred in the Unseen Will below.

### Volume 12

Using her powers again, she discovers the cause of the tremor — the demise of Eight Great Apostles at the hands of Subject E, her oldest sister. The Emperor then decides to kill Elletear, as she had become a threat to the entire world, but Sisbell refuses because Elletear was still her sister. She is even willing to talk her out of it, and despite knowing that it will fail, she will still take the chance. The Emperor then teleports everyone to where Elletear is, allowing Sisbell and Rin to reunite with Alice.

After Elletear left for the planet's core, a helicopter arrives to bring the girls back to the Sovereignty. With this, they could inform the Queen about Elletear and expose the Hydra's betrayal. However, they decide to stay in the Empire after the Emperor offers Alice the option to work together to defeat Elletear. Even though Alice hesitates, Sisbell quickly accepts, causing Alice and Rin to accept as well.

### Volume 13

A couple days later, Sisbell came into Yunmelngen's room and played with his tail while he is asleep. When the Emperor woke up, he informs everyone of the **Catalysc Contamination Zone**, where the Great Star Disaster first arrived and began corrupting the Astral Spirits. When the spirits fled the planet's core, they caused Vortexes to appear across the world. If they don't do anything, the Calamity will mutate everything and everyone.

However, they are soon attacked by corrupted astral spirits sent by Elletear, causing everyone to split into two groups. Alice, Sisbell, and Rin then work together to defeat their opponent and regroup with the rest.
