In the aftermath of the Battle of Minato Mirai, Tsukune and the gang must try to return to their normal lives and deal with the pain of their loses as the world comes to grips with the fact that Monsters really do exist.

We pick up the story after the next to last episode of Season 4, Terra Prime. Archer and crew have a new assignment and a new region of space to explore, but the emotional fallout from Terra Prime continues to plague the ship's two Commanders, while the shadow of the Raptor's Wings descends over them all.

#4a A life lived always in the shadow of a great tragedy. A soul weighed down by the consequences of his own actions and the burdens of his responsibilities. A love lost forever because of personal failure and perpetual shame. A life of constant sacrifice, lived in the shadow cast by the love he can never have. All my MKnR stories are in the same slightly altered timeline.

#4 Miyuki is not a woman to be trifled with. She will not let slights and her fiance's desire to remain anonymous keep him out of the spotlight he richly deserves. The world will come to know the value of her Onii-sama, and she'll change the Nine Schools forever to do it. The events occur around the groups' Third Year Nine Schools Competition.

#2 How does one say goodbye to someone that gave you life, but took away the joys of living? How does a young man of infinite power deal with the legacy of pain he has inherited from his mother, and the burdens of a cruel world? Can her greatest gift for him be his true salvation? Has she given him all that can be given? Set in the same world as my other MKnR stories.

#3 The events cover the time period between the MKnR light novel #16 Yotsuba Succession Chapter and the end of New Years vacation a week later. Tatsuya and Miyuki learn to become a couple, and Minami learns to deal with her uneasiness about them loving each other so much.

#1 Nothing would ever be the same for the Shiba siblings after Tatsuya used Material Burst for the first time, starting from that very day. All my MKnR stories are in the same slightly altered timeline.
