Tony: Hello my fellow readers, or as I want to start calling you now, my Underground allies! I'm the Rocket Gamer, and so... Here we all are. The time has finally come. This is the final chapter of the first season of Strike Wizards! Everyone put your hands up high!
(Witches & wizards cheer, raising their arms to the roof)
First off before we get to tearing the roof up in this last chapter, there's some things I want to say. First off, there's something that I should bring up regarding parallels to this story and what's going on in reality.
Remember back in the 4th chapter when Brock said neither of us had been to Salt Lake City before? Well, now you have every right to call me an idiot because in a recent Q&A video, he says that he actually does live in Salt Lake City, so yeah, I can't believe I got that wrong...
Brock: Ah don't worry, about it, Tony. It's all good. I'm sure you can fix by next season, I'm guessing?
Tony: Well, I guess so. But moving on from that. Second of all, and most importantly, I would like to sincerely thank you all for sticking with me thus far in the story. It's only been one year since I started this, and now this is the year when I finish it off, and I'm glad to have you readers be here to join me and the others.
Thirdly, there will be no intermission breaks for this last chapter! Reasoning for that is quite obvious, so let's move on.
And last but not least, we have one last review for last chapter. Huh, wait a minute, looks more like a message from... kh2996?! The author of "The 501st Disciple"?! Well, let's see what we got here:
'Maloney? How did you like your pet project going rogue on you? Well, let's just say that I have a feeling that you'll be dishonorably discharged from the RAF while you're sent to the penal colony of Madagascar. Looks like the girls and the boys will clean up your mess, and I hope my father have mercy on you. Still, good chapter.' -James Dowding
Well, Mr. 96, or may I call you: Soldier: 96 (Overwatch reference, real funny), It was sure nice of you and James to send me a letter before I finish my story. Thank you and I'm not sure what's happening to James right now, but tell him I wish him luck in his ordeal in the Ace Combat: Infinity universe!
Now then, the moment we've all been waiting for is here! Ladies, gentlemen, are you all ready to end this ride with a fucking bang?
ALL: YEAH!
WHOO!
LET'S DO THIS!
Tony: Alright, here we go! This is the finale of Strike Wizards!
PROLOGUE
~Akagi, 11:11 A.M.~
"Abandon ship! Abandon ship!" Capt. Sugita orders over the intercom as the sailors go on board the lifeboats and descend to the ocean safely below. "We've got to get to a lifeboat. The ship's going under!" Perrine alerted the others. "Run? And let Maloney and his goons get away with this madness?! Fuck that! We gotta find a way to destroy that thing!" Kona says to her in disagreement. "Don't be stupid! What can we hope to do without our Striker Units?!" Perrine questions him before they see the Warlock fly by them.
Mio sits in silence before she starts to speak again. "Hold on! Perrine, Craig, help me up!" She says as she got up from her wheelchair. "Mio, stop! You can't get back up now. You're still in bad shape!" Craig told her. She partially slumps as Craig and Perrine support her. "We've still got an ace in the hole, right here!" Mio says as she reveals an extra Striker unit hiding in a hidden compartment of her wheelchair. "You were hiding your Striker unit in there the whole time?" Kona inquired in surprise. "I'll take off and try to buy us time until reinforcements get here. I want you four to get to safety." Mio tells them.
"Mio, don't! You can't do this on your own! Let us help you!" Craig pleaded her. "How, Craig? There's only one Striker." Mio tells him. "But, Major..." Perrine pleaded as well, almost starting to cry. Kona and Yoshika look at one another and nods in agreement as to what they must do. "Mio, wait!" Kona called out to her. She turns to look at them. "Let us take care of this Warlock! It's time for me and Yoshika to take our last stand and MAKE THINGS RIGHT!" Kona tells her.

I felt something inside, we all did...
For the first time there was purpose.
Out of the darkness comes light...
Everything changed."
Strike Wizards (Final Episode)
The Akagi starts to fall apart as it sinks towards the ocean floor. Kona and Yoshika stand in courage, unwilling to back down. "What are you two saying?" Mio asks them in surprise. "Mio, you need to hold your ground. Yoshika and I will fly for you!" Kona tells her. "Sergeants! That is not a decision for either of you to make." She responded. "Fine! But we're not ready to give up!" Yoshika said. "Who's giving up?" Mio asked.
"You if you try and fly that thing! You're still too weak to fight. And if you can't fight then that means, it means we're giving up and Kona and I can't do that! Not without at least putting up a fight! I made a promise to protect you!" Yoshika tells her.
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
She then turns to Kona, to tell him something along as to what she said to Mio. "And Kona, Craig told you that you weren't fighting just to protect everyone like I am. You, no, all of you guys! Kona, Craig, Tony, Will, Brock, Brian, Tyler, Johnny, Lui, Logan, David! All of you guys were fighting to save everyone, including us!" She said to them as well.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
Kona nods and turns to Mio, saying: "Yeah! Yoshika's right, Mio! We all came here not just to protect you all, but save you from harms way! You were counting on me that night. Yoshika and I did what had to be done and now it's about time we fulfill that commitment to the very end!"
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
Mio closes her eyes and smiles with content. "You'd protect me... You'd save me... I bet you two would be surprised at how many times I heard those." She responds.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
She then laughs in joy as the others were surprised to hear her do so, while Kona otherwise smiled in delight. "Miyafuji. Shinkawa. Prepare to attack!" Mio orders them. Yoshika and Kona reply with: "Right!" "Leeeeft house!" Mio, looks at him with confusion, not recognizing his imitation of the Soldier from Team Fortress 2. "Eh heh. My bad! I meant to say... Understood!" He assured.
B*tch I'm a moon walker like Michael, sky walk all over my rivals
Both hands on that Bible, b*tch, I'm next in line for that title
"But wait, Kona. Don't you remember? Mio said that she only has one unit on her." Craig reminded him. "Craig is right, Kona. Where could there possibly be another Striker unit for you here on this sinking ship?" Perrine asked.
A n***a had nothing to do I was idle, but we was in the studio with Taio
Now we cli-cli-cli-cli-climbing high, we ain't on the Kilimanjaro, and they're
Kona looks around the Akagi's runway, until he finds a spare unit stranded near the edge. He quickly takes off his pants, puts them in his backpack, and soon sprints off to grab it, prompting the others to call him back. "Kona, what are you doing?! Come back!" "Kona, stop! It's not worth it!" Perrine and Craig shouted to him. He doesn't listen as continues to the edge of the ship.
pa-pa-pa-pa-panicking
They don't really know what's happening
Never gotten clothes off a mannequin, we don't want no comparison
Meanwhile, Johnny, Shirley, Lui and Francesca were on their way to the sinking Akagi as they flew over the ocean floor. "What is that?" Shirley asked. "It's the Akagi! But, what the hell's happening over there? Why's it sinking? And where the hell is that Warlock at?!" Lui asked.
I overdose on extravagance, we went for gold and got platinum
I told my bro to get an ambulance 'cause I caught a cold and went spaz on them
"Strange that you think I would know... Hold on tight!" Shirley said as she accelerated the engine. "Holding!" Francesca responded. Johnny picks up the pace with Lui, but as he was flying, he soon noticed someone running up the carrier from far away.
Yeah!
How can home be where the heart is when your shadow even fucking leaves you when you are in darkness?
Still get stopped by Sgt. Pepper, looking for that ziggy stardust
After a lifetime of regret, I'm just looking for some answers. YEAH!
"Lui! Look! Over there!" Johnny alerted him. "What is it, Delirious?" Lui responded. "There! I think that's Kona over there!" He told him. "What the? What is he doing? Wait a minute. I think I see something by the edge of the ship... It's a Striker Unit!" Lui said.
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
"It is! But wait, hold on! It looks like the unit's about to fall into the ocean! So that could only mean...?" Johnny says, stopping in mid-sentence. "What?" Lui asked. "He's gonna try and jump for it and fall down with it!" He finished.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
"WHAT?! Then we gotta get moving and help him! Shirley! Francesca! We're gonna hurry over there and help Kona! We'll meet you guys there!" Lui told them. "Okay! Be careful!" Francesca responds as they speed off over to the Akagi.
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
Kona sprints as fast as he can to the Striker Unit as it strands further over the edge. The Akagi soon rumbles, causing the Striker Unit to fall over. "NO!" Kona yells. He leaps overboard as Yoshika and the others gasp in shock of what he just did. "KONA!" She, Perrine and Craig cried.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
Kona plummets towards the ocean as he descends further in midair to the Striker Unit. He grabs both units and quickly straps them onto his legs. "Come on! Engine start!" Kona muttered as the engines wouldn't ignite. He looks to see that it wasn't long before he would hit the ocean floor.
I had opportunity in my window, wise words in my kindle
Disturbing London, we raise the bar, while your team still stuck in limbo
Then out of the blue, he was soon caught in midair, with just a few hundreds meters below him from the water. He looks to find that Johnny and Lui caught him right before he was about to fall in. "Johnny! Lui!" Kona greeted them in surprise. "Don't worry, Kona! We got you!" Johnny tells him.
Like Freddie, Bruno and Ringo, I saw the signs and symbols
With that top down on my yellow ride, let b**ches hate on my bimbo
"For fuck's sake, bro! You had us all worried! You could've killed yourself if we didn't show up!" Lui yelled. "I'm sorry. But if not giving up means having to go overboard then I sure as hell made the right choice." Kona said. "Guys, let go. Engine's fired up!" He tells them as the Striker Unit ignited its engines. Johnny and Lui let go of him as he re-aligned himself and flew on his own.
I'm yards away from that milestone, international dial tone
Put me through amaro when you Instagram with your iPhone
Yoshika and the others stood motionlessly thinking that Kona may have died when suddenly, they all see him flying in the air with the Striker Unit on his legs. "Kona?! You're alive!" Yoshika said. "Yeah! I'm still here! Thanks to Johnny and Lui!" Kona replies to her as Johnny and Lui fly up, revealing themselves to them.
From yellow bricks to them brown stones, I ring bells, I'm household
Look at all the rappers we outsold so keep your mouth closed
"Delirious! Lui! Look where I'm waving! The others and I are over here!" Craig called to them over the radio. They both find Craig waving over to them. "MiniLadd! We can see you clear!" Johnny confirmed. "They see us." Craig reported to the others. "Yoshika!" Kona called to her. "Yeah?" She responds. "Meet up with us in the air after you've put on the extra unit Mio had." He told her. "Okay, I'll meet up with you as soon as possible!" Yoshika replied.
Yeah!
How did I become so jaded, maybe all these insecurities are making me feel naked
Feel like Harry did in Vegas, had my privacy invaded
That's a liberty a pity, the epitome of what fame is
Kona, Johnny and Lui take off to engage the Warlock cautiously as Yoshika quickly activated her familiar and suited up in her Striker Unit. "Warlock 10 o'clock! Altitude 2,000m. Right above us!" Perrine warned as the Warlock flew over the Akagi once again. "The right engine sputters a little after, but don't let that distract you. Once you get going, you're fine." Mio informed. "Yes, ma'am." Yoshika responds.
P-P-Priest up in my parish, keep on putting me in their prayers
Swear I'd never sell my soul, my pride and dignity is too major, yeah!
We rarely ever get those second chances, after a lifetime of regret
I'm just looking for some answers, yeah!
The Warlock flies over them once more as the Neuroi screeches from within. "The enemy is here!" Perrine alerted. "It's just flew by again!" Craig added. "All right, it's time!" Mio spoke. "Right!" Yoshika replies. She starts the engines on her Striker Unit and soon takes off to engage the Warlock with Kona, Johnny and Lui.
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
Kona, during this, powers up Lui with his Medigun abilities as they target the Warlock. "Lui, I got your back! Let's charge that piece of shit!" Kona said. "Alright, let's fucking do this!" Lui said as he ignites the torch of his flamethrower and thus, they charge at the Warlock. Lui pulls the trigger and streams a line of fire towards the Warlock as it flies towards the Akagi.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
(That's all you need to know!)
The Warlock takes minor damage from the attack, but quickly retaliates by firing a beam at them. Lui quickly pulls up his shield and blocks the counter. "Fall back!" Lui shouted. They back away as the Warlock soon charged an energy ball and fires it towards Yoshika, whom was still taking off from the runway.
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
The energy ball explodes on impact from where Yoshika was at. She gets thrown off course, shocking everyone around her. "YOSHIKA!" Kona and Lui shouted. "Miyafuji!" Mio shouted. "Oh dear god! Why!" Craig spoke, panicking. Mio then activates her familiar as she grabs the gun she dropped out of the air.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
"C'mon! You can do it!" She screams to her. Yoshika quickly regains consciousness and flies back up to their vision. "Miyafuji!" Perrine spoke. "Oh thank fuck! She made it!" Craig said, sighing loudly in relief. Yoshika quickly turns around to see the Warlock already targeting Mio, Perrine and Craig down below. She then charges directly at the Warlock as it charges up another energy ball. "Yoshika, wait!" Kona shouted. She manages to successfully halt its attack with her shield. 'What the-?! Did she just charge at that thing like a Demoknight?! (grins) That was awesome!' Kona thought to himself.
"Bro, did you see that?! She just stopped it with her shield or something!" Lui said, witnessing the moment as well. "Yeah, man! That was crazy!" Kona agreed.
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
Perrine fires back at the Warlock from below as it transforms into aircraft mode and speeds away from the incoming bullets. "Nice work, Perrine!" Mio commended. "Yeah! You've got this, Perrine! You got it now!" Craig commended as well. "Thanks..." She responded.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
"No way! Is that Shinkawa and Miyafuji fighting the Warlock?!" Shirley inquired as she and Francesca were closing in on the conflict. "Hurry! We've got to help them!" Francesca demanded. "Yeah!" Shirley says before she realizes something wrong. "I've forgot! This thing doesn't have any weapons!" She says in distress.
Looking for a light that can outshine the sun
I know one day our time will come
"HERE!" Perrine shouts to Yoshika as she throws the machine gun to the sky for her to catch from above. "Go for it, Miyafuji! Shinkawa, you and the others take it down with her!" Mio shouts to them. The sailors over on the lifeboats cheer on for her and the wizards as Capt. Sugita witnesses the event from below. "What the... Miyafuji! Shinkawa!" He says in astonishment.
Bought a camera to capture these cinematic nights
Still don't satisfy my appetite for this lavish life
Meanwhile at the base of the 501st, the conflict between Keisuke and Maloney quickly escalates as the researchers cower in fear while the soldiers start to brawl with him under orders. Keisuke quickly dodges and weave from their punches and throws some back in return. He then ducks a fist coming from his right and sweep kicks him along with another soldier in front and on his left, making them all slip to the floor. Some soldiers charge at him from a distance but he retaliates as he gives a powerful kick to one of them, and does a roundhouse kick on the other one.
Tell me, doctor, am I fit for all these flashing lights?
Like Michael said, it doesn't matter if you're black or white
Maloney growls in anger and then says: "Come on, you idiots! You can put up a better fight than that!" Suddenly, in midst of the brawl, Tony, Brian, Will, Tyler and the Karlsland trio blast the doors down with Will's rocket launcher. "ALRIGHT! Keisuke, hit the ducts! Brian! RIP IT UP!" Tony shouted as Keisuke punches his way out and Brian readies his Tomislav as he says to quote Arnold Schwarzenegger: "It's showtime!" The soldiers quickly try to fire back as they pull out their pistols but they get suppressed when Brian shoots them by the arms, forcing them to drop the guns and wince on the floor in pain.
Look at the colors of the sun to descend above us
All we have is each other in case you happen to wonder
Let's go!
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
"All of you researchers, leave this command room, or else you join in the suffering with them!" Will threatened them, prompting them all to run out of the command room in fear of being brought out of commission.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
(That's all you need to know!)
"Lieutenant, we must evacuate immediately!" Maloney ordered. "Sir, but what about the others?!" He inquired. "Forget about them! Leave them bleeding to death! We're heading out now!" He demanded. "Oh no, you don't!" Tony spoke as he runs and knocks out his lieutenant with a jump kick, and then grabs Maloney by the uniform and slams him to the wall behind him.
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
Maloney fights back as he pushes Tony into the railings. He struggles as he tries to force him over it and fall backwards. "Tyler, help me out!" Tony called as he crouched, then lifts Maloney's legs over his head and throws him off the railing. Tyler takes the opportunity to attack and elbow drops to his abdomen. Making him scream in extreme pain. "OH! GET FUCKED ON!" Tyler cusses at him.
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
"Alright. Let's flip him over and tie him up." Tony commanded as he and Tyler rightfully flips him over and Trude and Erica hold him down while they tightly wrap cable ties around his wrists. "Keisuke. You can come out now." Tony says to him as he gets up from hiding. Maloney is then rested behind a wall with his downed soldiers. "Well, Maloney. Looks like your strategy with the Warlock just went down the shithole." Tony says to him as the others stand alongside, surrounding Maloney. "What exactly are you planning to do with us?" Maloney asked, coughing a bit from the pain he received.
"Will. Minna. What do you two think?" Trude says, glancing over to them as Maloney growls in frustration yet again. "Trevor. In case you haven't realized, you sold yourself out when Tony called you out on your, for lack of better wording, bullshit that night when you accidentally brought up the hint about the Warlock project. We knew at that moment you were trying to hide any information regarding it so, you thought shoving it off to the side would make us forget about it when really, it only piqued our suspicions further to the point where its now all pinned on you." Will said. "Minna. Anything you'd like to say to Maloney?" He asks.
Minna nods her head and throws her two cents at him as she looks through the document files. "You certainly have been keeping busy, haven't you? I guess it's not an easy task deceiving the Witches and the Wizards, is it?" She says as the Wizards snicker in revenge as Maloney clenches his teeth out of anger. "The only way for you to become stronger than both of our groups was to use Neuroi technology. You try to hide your method by forcing us to disband. If we were gone who else would even think to question you? A decent plan. However, Sergeant Miyafuji and Shinkawa's actions exceeded military understanding and caused you to slip." She concluded.
"I wish... I wish we had known to trust Miyafuji's instincts earlier. And... we really should've taken Shinkawa's words for granted." Trude spoke out. "By the way. Keisuke, what the hell was going on before we showed up? Sounded like a brawl when we reached the doorway." Tony asked him. "Maloney ordered his men to put me down for trying to interfere with the Warlock. I managed to put up a fight for a while until you guys finally came." Keisuke explained. "Really? Wow. I never thought you could actually hold one on your own." Tony said, impressed of his feat.
Suddenly, Erica alerts everyone as she sees the Akagi from afar. "Hey, this doesn't look good. I think the Akagi is sinking. It looks like the Warlock is fighting a Witch. But who is it?" "Wait a minute, it can't just be one witch. There's got to be someone from our group fighting the Warlock as well. Is there?" Brian asks. Minna activates her familiar and channels her powers to try and determine who's there. "Sergeants Miyafuji and Shinkawa." She informed. "Are you sure?" Trude asks. "She is. No one else but them would ever back down from the Warlock." Brian confirmed.
"Impossible! You don't have any Strikers to use. Everything is locked away in the hangar, isn't it?" Maloney argued. Minna continues channeling her magic, only to find something that surprises her. "This signal I'm receiving... is from Mio's Striker." Minna told the others. "And Shinkawa... That sure isn't his Striker Unit out there. He must have found a spare unit somewhere on the ship." She further informed. "Not bad at all, guys." Erica says, looking far ahead. "I've heard that to deceive your enemies, first deceive your friends. That sounds just like Sakamoto." Trude said. "I'm betting Miyafuji and Shinkawa's got their hands full just trying to buy us time. Let's go!" Minna spoke. "Hold on, Minna!" Tony said to her as they were about to head out.
"What is it, Tony?" Minna asked. "Tyler and I had our chance of bringing a beat down on Maloney, why don't we let Brian have a crack at him before we go?" Tony requests. Minna looks over to Brian, and gives him a nod of approval. "Brian, you have my permission. But make it quick. We have to hurry." She tells him. "With pleasure, Minna." Brian responds as he approaches Maloney. He stands him up as he clears his throat to give him one last jeer in his Schwarzenegger impersonation. "Maloney. I live to see the day you get punished for your fucking crimes. But I hope you'll leave enough room for my fist because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and BREAK YOUR GODDAMN SPINE!" He then finishes Maloney off by punching real hard in his abdomen, forces his foot into his groin area, making him yell in pain once more, and then knocks him out by punching him in his cheek.
Brian takes some deep breaths until he finally calms down. "Alright, I'm all good. Let's go." Brian said. "Wait. Before you head out, is there anything that I can do for you guys? I still want to help out as much as I can." Keisuke spoke. "The other command room... You head there and you can contact us and help us spot the Akagi and the Warlock from there." Will ordered him. "Okay then, Will. I'll head there right away. Best of luck to all of you!" Keisuke responds as he runs off for the command room. "Are we all set here?" Minna asked. The wizards nod their head in response. "Very well. Quickly! To the hangar!" She commanded, as they all start sprinting ahead. "Holy shit, dude! I can't believe we actually did that to him!" Tony said to Tyler. "Yeah, dude! That was crazy as hell!" Tyler replied.
~Akagi, 11:23 A.M.~
The Warlock tries to escape Yoshika and the wizards as they chase it down from behind. 'I don't get it. Why is the Warlock attacking the Akagi? It's just like the Neuroi.' Yoshika thought. 'I knew it. I knew this would happen. They use the core to power up the Warlock, and what do you know? The core corrupts the A.I. and it's goes out of control. And look at where it's got us all in now...' Kona contemplated. "Neuroi..." Yoshika suddenly spoke. "What did you say, Yoshika?" Kona asked as they all readied their weapons. "If it's a Neuroi then..." She spoke.
"Oh, oh! Oh! Oh! Guys, look out! It's in front of us!" Johnny alerted. The Warlock charges up a beam attack and then fires at the group. Yoshika quickly pulls up her shield while Kona aims and fires back at the Warlock. "Guys, split up!" Lui yelled. They break away as the Warlock targets after Yoshika. It fires machine gun rounds at her as she dodges the crossfire. Kona and Lui closes in from both of its sides and attacks it while it focuses on her. The Warlock stops firing on her and soon turns it focus over to them. "Shit! Run away!" Kona yelled.
They barely manage to escape the Warlock as it fires laser beams at them. Kona quickly pulls up his shield, as so does Lui, but the beam just scratches at the canister behind his back for his flamethrower. Yoshika gains altitude as so does the Warlock and the wizards, following behind it again. Meanwhile, Brock and Lynette watch from afar as they see the wizards and Yoshika attacking the Warlock above the sinking Akagi. "Were those witches that I just saw?" Their driver asked as he approached them.
"Yes and no, sir. Yes, there is one witch up there. But, the others that are flying with her... Those are the wizards." Brock spoke as Lynette finished his sentence. "Those are our friends..." They continue looking before Lynne's mood starts to brighten. "They're the best of friends we've ever had! Brock, come on!" She said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him back to the car. "Whoa! Lynette, wait!" Brock sputtered as he partially slips from the sudden movement.
Back above the Akagi, the Warlock stops in front of Yoshika as she readies her gun in defense. Kona, Lui and Johnny reach her as they witness what the Warlock was about to do. It stops and hovers in the air as it opens a hatch from inside and reveals the core within it. Yoshika gasps in shock as she realizes the fact of the matter. Yoshika tries to reach out to it to see if it would work the second time around. The Warlock starts charging up an attack as she was distracted by the core. "Yoshika, get back!" Kona warned her.
She is soon alerted as she leaves her focus off the core, pulls up her shield and gets knocked back by the surprise attack. "You all right?" Kona asks her. Yoshika scowls as he quickly notices. "What's wrong?" He inquired. "No way! This isn't the Neuroi that was our friend!" Yoshika spoke as she pointed her gun at the Warlock. "This one is the real enemy!" She said, prompting the others to ready up. "Lui, give that thing a surprise, why don't you?" Kona tells him. "Of course." Lui says as he pulls the trigger on his flamethrower.
Strangely, the flame doesn't open up. Lui pulls the trigger again but to no avail. "What's going on, Lui? Where's that fire?" Johnny asks. "I don't know! I'm pulling the trigger, but I ain't getting any-" He spoke before he starts feeling something pressing on his back. "Uh, is it me or is something pushing on my back?" Lui asked. Kona and Johnny take a look at what's behind him and quickly realizes that the fuel canisters behind his back is about to explode. "Lui! The fuel cans on your back! IT'S ABOUT TO GO BOOM!" Johnny screamed.
"What?! Oh, shit! Hurry and help me take it off!" Lui shouted. Kona and Johnny quickly flew over to his side and help him take off the straps over his shoulders. "Crap, it's gonna blow! Where do I throw it?!" Lui said as he looked at the Warlock and thought of an idea. He holds his equipment as the fuel canisters were about ready to burst. He throws it all in front of the Warlock, exploding soon after. The Warlock noticeably takes some damage as it screeches to give confirmation.
It flies away from them and heads towards the Akagi once again. They chase after it and Lui pulls out his spare Thompson and fires, letting the others know to attack alongside him. The Warlock then turns around and fires more beams at them, to which they all pull up their shields to deflect the attack. "Scatter around and keep firing!" Kona ordered. "Right!" "On it!" Johnny and Lui respond as they head in different directions to flank the Warlock. Kona uses his Medigun magic on Yoshika and tells her: "Yoshika, I got you covered. Just shoot!" She nods and fires away at the Warlock.
Down below on the Akagi, Craig, Perrine and Mio watch as the five of them spar it out with the Warlock. "Wow..." Perrine spoke. "Shit. Just look at them all go. They are getting some work done, I'm telling you." Craig said to Mio. "Yes. It's amazing that they can all hold on against that monster." She agreed with him. Suddenly, the Warlock attacks the Akagi again, and another explosion erupts, causing the three of them to get thrown back and are now hanging onto each other with Craig holding onto the edge of the runway.
"Craig! Perrine! Mio!" Kona shouted, as he and Yoshika witnessed the moment. They're immediately interrupted when the Warlock fires more laser beams at them, and their forced to defend themselves with their shields. "Johnny, Lui! Come in!" Kona spoke over the radio. "Kona, what's wrong?" Johnny answered. "Perrine, Mio and MiniLadd! They're in trouble! *grunts* They're hanging onto the edge of the ship. I want you and Lui to head down and save them!" Kona ordered as he continued to block the Warlock's attacks.
"Okay! We'll get 'em! Just take the Warlock out!" Johnny responded. "Lui, MiniLadd's in trouble! We gotta help him!" He told Lui. "He is?! Well, let's go then!" He replies. "Mini! Hang on! We're coming to save you!" Johnny spoke as he and Lui sped down to the Akagi.
~501st Joint Fighter Wing Base, Hangar, 11:23 A.M.~
The Karlsland trio and the wizards finally reach the hangar, only to find that Maloney and his men had barricaded the entrance way with a steel wall after they were disbanded pre-maturely. "All right, then. So you're saying that when Miyafuji and Shinkawa flew there to make friends with the Neuroi, those guys freaked out on us and that's the reason we have to help them fight. Does that make sense, Minna?" Trude asked. "Yep." Minna replies as she laughs in a flattering manner.
"Well, what do you think?" She asked Erica. "Yes, sure. But who are you and what did you do with Trudy?" Erica nonchalantly says as Tyler snickers at her deadpan remark. Logan, Eila, David and Sanya reach the entrance way first, only to find that it's blocked off. "Ah, god fucking damn it! Of course, they had to block off the hangar after we left." Logan cussed before they heard the others calling to them. "Eila. Sanya." Minna called. "Logan! Nogla!" Brian and Tony spoke. They turn around to see them. "Hey, it's the others!" Logan told them.
"Hi, guys. What are you doing? Is everything okay?" Trude greeted them as they all stopped running. "Well, uh... we... we... it's the train's fault!" Eila said, lightly blushing. "Eila. Let me talk with them." Logan said to her as he held her hand. "After Nogla and I got your call, Eila and Sanya ended up falling asleep afterwards, and then we ended up back at where we arrived to the train when they woke up soon after." He explained. "Yeah... What he said. So, you know, since we were here, we figured we'd see what was going on. Right, guys?" Eila said, turning to David and Sanya.
"Eila! That's not why we came back! You heard it, too! We came back after we heard from you about Kona and Yoshika." David corrected her. "Yeah. So we... we thought maybe they could use some help." Sanya said. "Grr...! What is wrong with you, guys?!" Eila said to them in frustration. "Hey, we were only trying to tell the truth while you were just making shit up." David said to her. "You're not a very good liar." Erica commented. "Yeah, ain't that the truth. Logan, you said your girlfriend manipulates you, but does she really-?" Tyler commented as well.
"Don't you try and start cooking any beef, Tyler! This is not a good time!" Logan called him out. "I don't think we are either." Minna joked as the wizards start laughing. "Hey! What do you mean? I'm not lying about anything!" Trude angrily asked. "Jesus, calm down, Trude. She was just joking." Brian assured her as he wrapped his arm around her, making her blush slightly redder. "Well, I guess I'm not the only one who can get easily flustered around here." Eila commented. "Yeah, and weirdly, if you think about it, both of our relationships are almost similar." Logan spoke.
"So, mutually, we're like brothers and sisters?" Brian asked. "In a way, I guess so." Logan said, scratching his head. Logan and Brian look at one another and then turns to Eila and Trude. They give them a nod of approval, as they nod back to them. They look back at each other, and thus, they fist bump each other. "With this fist bump, we'll all have each other's backs, right?" Logan asked. "You're damn right. Of course, we'll always have each other's backs." Brian answered.
Tony walks over and fist bumps in the middle of them. He gives them his nod of approval, making them nod back to him as well. They put their arms down as they then turn to Will and Minna. "Alright, boys. What do you say we get started?" Minna says to them. "Right." The wizards and witches respond. "Okay then. Now, how in the hell are we going to take down this wall?" Brian asks. "Don't worry, Brian. I've already got an idea, and you're going to help me." Trude tells him. "Alright, Trude. What's your plan?" He asked.
"We're going to lift a few of the beams up and throw them off to the side. Only just a few to make enough space for us to get inside quickly." Trude explained. "What?! Trude, these beams are tall as fuck! How am I supposed to lift them off the ground with my bare hands?!" Brian questioned. "Ah! Crap, I didn't realize! Then it looks like I'm going to have to do this myself." Trude said. She then activates her familiar and walks over to one of the beams. She channels her magic and grabs one of them.
She puts all of her strength in, lifts the beam up, and then chucks it in the other direction. Brian, feeling left out, then runs over to another beam and tries to lift one of them up. "Brian, what are you doing?" Trude asked. "Trude, I don't think I'll have super strength like you, but I still want to help out!" Brian said. Trude looks at him in astonishment, but then nods her head. "Okay, I'll let you help me this once." She said to him. She grabs the other side of the beam and channels her magic again. "1... 2... 3... Lift!" They both lift the beam up as Brian feels her magic within the beam and then throws it over to the other beam.
"Alright. Let's grab the Striker Units and get moving." Trude said. "Wait, Trude. Let me see if I can actually lift one on my own." Brian said. "What? Brian, why?" Trude asked. "I figured I'd just give it a try just for shits and giggles. Besides, if I do this, it might give everyone a good laugh before we head out." He tells her. "Boost our morale, huh? Well, if you want to, be my guest." Trude replies to his statement. "Okay then. Guys, watch me. I'm gonna lift this beam with my bare hands!" Brian tells everyone as he walks over to another beam.
"What the-?! Oh, I see what you're doing, Brian. You're only trying to do this just to impress Trude, are you?" Eila asked, already having a clue on what's up as the wizards start to laugh at her statement. "Wha-?! No! No! That's not why I'm going to do this, Eila. I'll show you. I'll show all of you guys I can lift this fucking beam!" Brian replied. "Oh yeah? Show us then." Eila said, smirking at him. "I will. Just watch." Brian said back. He takes a couple of deep breaths and closes his eyes. He opens them and then starts attempting to lift the beam.
He audibly grunts and struggles as the others start giggling at how he's embarrassing himself. He grunts some more, which ends up making them all laugh loudly. "Uh, Brian. I think you should stop now." Trude says, blushing. "No, Trude! I said I'd show them, and I am not going to stop until I do!" Brian tells her. He stops attempting to lift the beam to catch his breath, making the others assume he's giving up. He takes a couple more deep breaths and closes his eyes again. 'Come on, Terroriser. Lift the fucking beam!' His sub-conscious spoke to him.
He opens them once more and decides to channel his magic within his body. He grabs the beam once again and lifts it once more. Unknowingly, he manages to lift the beam off the ground as the others watch in awe. "Wow. I thought he was joking about trying to lift that off the ground. I guess he proved me wrong." Eila commented. "Brian! Open your eyes!" Trude called. "What, Trude?" Brian asked. "You're doing it! You're actually lifting it like I did!" She tells him "I am?" Brian asked as she nods in response. Brian looks and finds that he really is lifting it off the ground.
"What-?! YES! YEAH-HEH-HEH! I'm doing it, guys! I've got fucking super strength!" Brian said in excitement. He then lifts his arms up and throws the beam out of the way. The wizards and witches applaud him for the surprise skill that he had to lift the beam. "Brian! You did it! You actually threw that fucking beam with your bare hands! That was amazing, dude!" Tyler commended him. "Yeah, thanks, Tyler." Brian replied. "Just how in the hell were you able to do that?" He asked. "I don't know. I guess I never realized I had this ability until now." Brian admitted.
"Brian..." Trude called as she approaches him "Trude..." He spoke to her. She puts her hands around his neck and kisses his cheek. He blushes as they look at each other. "That was impressive, Brian. Good work." She complimented him. "Thanks, Trude. I didn't think I'd actually do it." He admitted. "Alright, now that everything is settled, why don't we head inside the hangar, grab the units and head out?" She suggested. "Right." He replies, nodding. "Alright, guys! Let's get inside! Grab the units and let's head out!" Brian commanded. "Right!" The others reply as they all run inside.
Meanwhile on the Akagi, Craig was still holding onto the edge for dear life as Perrine and Mio hung on him from below. "Well, I guess this is it for all of us. We fall and we're all dead for sure!" He regretfully said. "Craig, don't say that! Keep holding on, okay?" Perrine told him. "Well, obviously! I'm not gonna let go! Mio, you alright down there?" Craig spoke. "I'm fine. Perrine, let go!" Mio said. "Wait, what?!" Craig shouts in shock. "No! We're very sorry, Major. But that's one order we won't accept!" Perrine told her.
Kona and Yoshika continued to combat with the Warlock while Johnny and Lui were on their way to save them. "Sakamoto!" Yoshika shouted before she immediately gets attacked again and pulls up her shield. "Yoshika, don't lose focus! Johnny and Lui are on their way. Let's just focus on taking this thing out!" Kona told her as she pulled her shield down. "Right!" She responds as they both take off in the opposite direction of the Warlock, forcing it to chase after them. Elsewhere, Brock and Lynette quickly return to the base to meet up with Tony, Will and the others.
"Alright, Lynne. Let's go! There's no time to waste!" Brock said as he started to run into the entrance gate. "I'm right behind you, Brock!" She replied as she ran with him. Back in battle, Kona pulls up his shield and tells Yoshika: "I've got my shield up, Yoshika! Attack the Warlock!" Yoshika complies as she fires directly at it. The Warlock fires off a laser at them, prompting them to give chase once again. During this, Shirley and Lucchini fly by to help Johnny and Lui in saving Craig, Perrine and Mio.
"Lui! It's Shirley and Francesca! They made it!" Johnny said as he gazes from a distance, their biplane. "Okay, now!" Shirley signaled Francesca. She stands from her seat and activates her familiar "I'm ready! Let's go!" She shouts to her. "Francesca!" Yoshika spoke, looking at them from above. The Warlock fires at her again as Kona defends her with his shield. "Yoshika! The Warlock!" Kona alerted her. "Right! Sorry, Kona!" She apologizes to him as they re-engage combat with it. The Warlock starts throwing a barrage of beams as Shirley barrel rolls her plane out of the line of fire.
It chases after her and Francesca, giving Kona and Yoshika the moment to counter attack and fire at it from behind. Down below on the sinking Akagi, Craig continues to hold on, but is losing the strength to do so. "Shit! I'm starting to lose my grip!" Craig panicked. "Let go!" Mio demanded. "Just do it, Perrine! I can't hang on for long here!" Craig pleaded. "I can't!" She refused. Shirley descended towards the Akagi and breaks away from the Warlock, to which it fires two beams over the runway again, causing yet another explosion on the ship.
"Oh shit! IT'S ALL OVER FOR US!" Craig hollered as his hand slips off the edge. "AAAHHH! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" Craig screeched while he and Perrine scream in terror as they and Mio plummet towards the ocean, before she grabs a hold of her tightly as they get caught in the air with the help of Shirley and Francesca. Craig misses them from a few meters above and continues to scream before he is soon caught in midair by Johnny. "I... gotcha' now, Mini!" He said as he caught him in his arms. "Aah! What?! Am I alive?! Delirious!? Oh, thank god! I thought I was gonna die for real!" Craig hastily said, as he catches his breath.
"All right! Whoo! Nice catch!" Shirley spoke in cheer. "Welcome back!" Francesca greeted them. "Guys! We got the Major and Perrine!" Shirley told them over the radio. "That's good! I got MiniLadd!" Johnny responds to her. "Yoshika, did you hear? They got 'em!" Kona tells her as they were flying near the sinking Akagi. "Yeah!" She responds. The Warlock fires at them from above, forcing them to dodge the beams erratically and break away. Johnny and Lui follow Shirley and Francesca as they head back for the base to meet up with the others.
Brock and Lynette, meanwhile, were sprinting through the path towards the base as they spoke in mind: 'Wait. Please wait for us, Yoshika and Kona. We're almost there!' 'Hang on tight, guys! We're on our way!' "Hi, guys!" Francesca greets them from afar as they land on the runway. "Hey, Moo! We're here! *laughs*" Johnny greeted, giving his trademark laugh. "Alright guys! Early Bird has arrived!" Brock greeted as he and Lynne met up with the others. "Hey, Lynne, Brock, we're over here!" Erica called out to them as she and the others were suited up in their units.
"You're both late. We'll let it slide this time." Trude said to them. "Hurry it up. You're the last ones who arrived." Minna ordered them. "Right! Yes, ma'am!" "Right away, commander!" Lynne and Brock respond as they catch up to them.
"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." -Winston Churchill

Brock and Lynette immediately take off to meet up with Kona and Yoshika while the others were getting ready to move out. "Guys, come in. This is Keisuke. Where are you?" Keisuke spoke over the transmission.
No time to pretend
Dust off and try again
"We're at the hangar, Keisuke. We about ready to take off." Will responded. "Understood. I'll try and provide assistance whenever I can." He tells them. "Alright, Hijikata. We hear you. We're all set to go." Minna said. "Got it. Witches, Wizards, you are all clear for take off!" Keisuke informed. "Understood. Everyone, let's move out!" Will commanded as everyone follows behind him, taking off from the runway and goes full speed ahead to the sinking Akagi.
Straight out of lions' den
Strong as a thousand men
Kona and Yoshika fire as much as they can at the Warlock, while it fires back as much as they're doing. The Warlock screeches as it chases after them.
That's what I've been told
Since I was six years old
The Warlock backs away as Kona and Yoshika breath heavily, preparing themselves for another attack. The Warlock charges up and fires a barrage of beams in both of their directions.
Duck down and count to ten
They block the attack with their shields when suddenly, two stray bullets penetrate the legs of the Warlock, causing it to plummet towards the Akagi and crash into it, bringing the whole carrier down to the bottom of the ocean with it.
I'm gonna hit the Lotto
I'm gonna place my bet on every step I take
"Kona, look!" Yoshika told him as he was still catching his breath. "What is it?" Kona asked. "We did it!" She told him. "Wha...?" Kona asked, confused when he turns to find Brock and Lynette behind them.
Go tell everyone under the sun
I'm on my way
"Nice work, guys!" Lynette compliments them. "Hey, Yoshika, Kona! We're here to help!" Brock said. From the lifeboats, Captain Sugita and his sailors witness in silence with the Akagi going down along with the Warlock. "The Akagi..." Sugita spoke. "It's sinking, sir." One of his sailors reported.
And if I hit rock bottom
I'm gonna smile and dance with every step I take
The witches and wizards soon arrive to help Kona and Yoshika out. "Thanks for waiting." Shirley greeted them. "Yoshika!" "Kona!" Francesca and Lui called to them. "Ah! Hey, guys!" Kona greeted them. "You're all back!" Yoshika said. "Wow... You guys were able to take out the Warlock on your own? I'm honestly impressed." Tony said.
Go tell everyone under the sun
I'm on my way
On my way!
"And so am I! Nice work, both of you!" Mio congratulated them. "Thank you!" "Uh...! Thanks! It's our duty!" Yoshika and Kona replied, flattered. They look over to Brian and Trude, who happened to be carrying their original units. "Looks like you won't be needing these anymore then." Trude says to them. "That may not be true." Eila interrupted. "Huh? Eila, why's that?" Logan asked as he and the others got confused. "Look over there." She orders everyone as they stare straight ahead.
Right on cue of them looking ahead, the water starts to rumble as something emerges from under the ocean. "It can't be..." Sugita says as the sailors start murmuring about what's happening.
I'm on my way
On my way!
Then out of the blue, the Akagi emerges from the ocean floor, now trans-mutated by the Neuroi-controlled Warlock. "The Warlock... and the Akagi!" Mio spoke in shock as the wizards react appallingly while readying their weapons. "Holy shit! Big freakin' Neuroi!" Tony yelled. "That doesn't look dignified!" Logan said.
I'm on my way
On my way!
The Akagi starts to ascend towards the sky as everyone prepares to attack once more. "Perrine, Craig. Thank you both." Mio says to them as she starts up her Striker unit. "Alright! Get Kona and Yoshika's original unit suited on them, immediately!" Tony ordered as the witches and wizards do so accordingly. Suddenly, the Akagi fires an array of beams above them, forcing them all to break away. The witches and wizards soon give chase as it continues to fly. "'kay. Letting go." Minna said to Mio. "Don't worry about me." Mio told her as they then held their hands together.
Minna transfers some of her magic to Mio as she then uses it to see with her magic eye, which prompts Minna to use her channeling abilities along with her. "Anything?" Tony asked.
I'm on my way
On my way!
"Wait. Am I seeing things?" Mio asked in disbelief. "What? What do you see?" Will asked, intrigued. "The Warlock and the Akagi have fused together. It's beyond our control at this point." Minna told them. "Shit... I swear, this is all going to hell." Tony brooded. "Well then, this is surely going to end perfectly." Will remarked.
Go throw the key away
No matter what they say
"Still, we have to try. This thing is no longer just a Warlock or a Neuroi. It's completely different. We're not going to give up. If the Witches can't stop it, and if the Wizards can't either, then no one else will be able to." Mio spoke out loud.
All for a better day
You will always be the same
"Then in that case, let's give it our all, cause this is going to be our biggest assault yet!" Kona said, prompting everyone to nod in response.
That's what I've been told
Since I was six years old
Sanya then activates her magic antennas and alerts everyone of what's about to happen. "David!" She called to him. "What's wrong, Sanya?" He asked. "It's coming!" She warned. "Oh shit! Guys, get ready!" Nogla alerted everyone.
Duck down and count to ten
The trans-mutated Akagi soon fires another array of laser beams in all directions.
I'm gonna hit the Lotto
I'm gonna place my bet on every step I take
"All right. Listen up! All units, prepare to attack. Our targets are the Akagi and the Warlock!" Minna commanded. "RIGHT!" The witches respond.
Go tell everyone under the sun
I'm on my way
"Wizards, you know what we have to do. Let's help the witches one last time, and send this hellish craft back down to hell!" Will demanded. "YEAH!" The wizards replied.
And if I hit rock bottom
I'm gonna smile and dance with every step I take
"Keisuke, can you see all of us in the air?" Will spoke to him over the transmission. "Yes, Will. I have visual contact on all of you back here in the command room." Keisuke reported.
Go tell everyone under the sun
I'm on my way
On my way!
"Good. Alright. Everyone! ATTACK THE ENEMY!" Will shouted to them all. "YES, SIR!" The witches and wizards respond, promptly taking off to combat the monstrous unit. "The core is in the Akagi's engine." Mio informed as Tony and Will fired at it. "I don't think we'll be able to destroy it from the outside. Which means we'll have to go inside." Minna said. "I'll go. I know my way around the interior." Mio told them. "No, Major, I'll go!" Yoshika tells her. "Brock, Lynne and I will head in with her as backup." Kona said, when Perrine then threw her two cents in.
"Well, I know little about the inside. We don't want you getting lost." She said. "Ah...! Thank you, Perrine." Yoshika said as she sighs in response. "Don't thank me. It's not like this is some kind of gesture." "Wait, I want to come with you guys!" Craig requested. "What?! Craig, no! You can't! You barely have any clue about where to go inside the Akagi!" Perrine told him off. "Perrine, we don't have time. Take him with you guys." Tony ordered her, while still attacking. "*sighs* Yes, sir." She responds reluctantly.
I'm on my way
On my way!
"Well, it'll be very comforting for me to know that both of you are with them." Mio said to them. Craig nods in response, while Perrine looks away in admiration of her concern for her. "Right!" She said. "Now, the rest of us will provide cover for them and clear a path so they can fly safely." Minna told the others.
"Roger!" The witches respond. "Everyone, we may be able to still reach radio contact with Keisuke from the base, but I'm afraid he won't be able to see us above the clouds. But whatever the case, wizards, use whatever tactics you have up your sleeves to help Kona and the others get inside the ship! Minna, inform Keisuke of what's going on!" Will reported.
I'm on my way
On my way!
"Yes, sir!" The wizards respond. "Right away, Will!" Minna responded. "Keisuke, this is Commander Minna, reporting in." She spoke to him over radio. "Keisuke here, what is it?" He responds. "I'm afraid you won't have visual contact on us at this time. We're heading above the clouds with the enemy." Minna told him. "I see. Well, I wish all of you witches and wizards the best of luck!" Keisuke said. "Thanks! We appreciate your support! Cmd. Minna out!" Minna replied. "Alright then. Ready, guys?" Tony asked everyone. "Ready!" The Witches and Wizards reply.
I'm on my way
On my way!
The Akagi emerges, then floats over the clouds as the Witches and Wizards close in on it. "Commence attack!" Mio shouted. "Terroriser, Logan, Delirious! Let's go!" Tony ordered as they group up with him and attack the enemy. "You're not gonna let the others take all the credit for that, are you?" Trude says before Tyler and Erica start flying out themselves. "Hey, wait!" She says to them.
"Hurry up and start shooting already! You're so slow as hell!" Tyler says to her. "See you later!" Erica spoke as they flew out to engage into combat. "ERICA! LET'S FUCK SHIT UP!" Tyler yelled to her as he enhanced and loaded up explosive rounds into his shotgun. "Yeah! Let's go, Tyler!" Erica spoke along as they got ready to attack. "Wa, ha! ha! ha! ha! Fuck you, bitch!" Tyler cussed as he went trigger-happy on the Akagi, causing explosion after explosion with each shot. "STURM!" Erica shouts, activating her special ability.
"Hey, that's my job!" Trude spoke as she flew to catch up to them while attacking the Akagi at the same time.
Music: Tiësto ft. Zac Barnett of "American Authors" - A Town Called Paradise
Meanwhile, Nogla took on the enemy head on, firing off one rocket after another, blocking the beams fired at him while doing so, while Sanya stayed behind with Eila helping her aim. "Move to the right." She told her. Sanya complies as she fires accordingly, to which Eila then says: "Fly upwards."
When your sanity's a hurricane
And your heartache is a tidal wave
Sanya does so as they dodge an attack from the Akagi. "Are you getting sleepy?" Eila asks as Sanya continues firing at the enemy. "Uh-uh. I'm okay." She responds to her question.
Oh you can pull me under
Oh you can pull me under
Elsewhere, the Four Aces of A Kind, Tony, Brian, Logan and Johnny prepare to attack in coordination. "Alright, attack the red spots on the ship! That could possibly weaken it's offenses with its lasers and shit!" Tony ordered. "Got it!" They respond. "Brian, I'll stay with you. Logan, go with Johnny!" He told them.
When euphoria's a hit and run
And you're drowning in a heatless sun
"Roger that, Tony." Logan responded. "Come on, Logan! Let's kick some ass!" Johnny says excited as they take off immediately. "Alright, Brian. It's time to wreck shit up!" Tony said to him, readying his STG-44. "Right! Enough talk! Let's destroy this fucking thing!" Brian says in his Schwarzenegger accent as they lock arms with one another and start firing side-by-side.
Oh you can pull me under
Oh you can pull me under
Johnny and Logan buzz around in speed as they hit and run at various points of the ship, with Logan using his Super Sonic ability, going in headfirst and breaking through the weak points, being the areas of the beams with Johnny firing at it afterwards to give the killing blow.
So let's wash away the night
Into a neon sea of lights
"The attack seems to be letting up." Shirley says as she, Lui and Lucchini overlooks the battle from above. "So should we go, then?" She asks. Shirley nods her head as they head downwards into battle. She then transfers her magic over to Lucchini, giving her a boost in offense. "Ready... GO!"
Away we'll drive
Into a town called paradise
She then throws her off as she speeds off and shield charges at the ship. A cloud of debris plunges in upon impact as she then flies out of the way afterwards.
Into a town called paradise
Lui then charges in, firing his Thompson at the Akagi's attack points from the side and soon backs off and heads out with Lucchini. "Are they okay?" Yoshika asks as she and the others watch from above. "Go for it, guys!" Shirley notifies them. "That's our signal! Time to leave, people!" Craig said as he and Perrine take off for the Akagi. "Right!" Kona, Yoshika, Brock and Lynne respond as they follow behind. They make it inside, only to find a door blocking their path. "That's the bulkhead." Perrine said. "Brock, Lynne! This one's yours!" Kona told them.
"Got it!" "On it!" They reply as they fire their sniper cannons at the door, blowing it open. They quickly push forward before Kona spots a beam fired through the gap holes within the interior. "Whoa! WATCH OUT!" Kona alerted everyone. The sudden attack ends up leaving Yoshika and Lynette without their firearms on them. "No, your weapons!" Perrine shouted before the beams fire directly in front of them. "Return fire!" Kona says as he and Perrine shoot back in the direction of the attack, while shielding themselves to protect the others.
When you're buried in the world eclipse
And there's nobody to help you left
They continue onward inside the ship before they're halted by another doorway. "In here." Perrine says as she and Kona tries to shoot it down, but to no avail. "We're gonna need more than two guns..." Perrine spoke. "Damn. This one's stronger than the other one back there." Craig cursed.
Oh you can pull me under
Oh you can pull me under
"But we've come all this way..." Lynne said in despair before Perrine drops her gun and hovers closer to the door. "What are you doing?" Yoshika asked. "I was planning on saving this till we really needed it." Perrine replied as she glowed.
When you're running out of dreams to catch
And every morning is an hourglass
"Brock, I'll need you to help me shoot the door down with your cannon." Perrine says to him. "Okay then. You ready?" He spoke with her as he aimed his Skullsmasher at the door. She nods in response. "Alright. Go for it!" He tells her.
Oh you can pull me under
Oh you can pull me under
"TONERRE!" She shouts as she fires a lightning bolt through her fingers, prompting Brock to fire a shot after her. The others brace themselves as the smoke clears up and a passageway is made for them.
So let's wash away the night
Into a neon sea of lights
They all head inside to find the core hovering in the middle of the interior. Kona and Yoshika approach to it as the others follow them. "Yoshika!" "Kona!" Lynette and Brock called to them. "What are you two doing? Are you both completely crazy?!" Perrine says to them. "Don't tell us you're doing what we think you're going to do." Craig spoke.
Away we'll drive
Into a town called paradise
"Guys, please! All of you! We need your help." Kona says to them. "Yoshika. What's the plan here?" He asked. "If we channel in our magic and disengage from our units with it in them, we might just be able to destroy the core." Yoshika tells him. "So then, Kona, you ready?" She asks him.
Into a town called paradise
Kona nods his head saying: "*sighs* I'm gonna miss being able to fly with this thing, and be able to use my shield... Okay, Yoshika. I'm ready." The witches and wizards carry them by the arms as they channel all their magic into their Striker Units and prepare to disengage. "Guys..." Kona and Yoshika speak with the others. "Yeah?" "What's up?" Craig and Brock respond. "Thanks for everything..." They tell them. They then disengage from their Striker Units and they fall into the core.
From outside of the Akagi, the other Witches and Wizards back off as they all stare at the Akagi ready to blow. The whole ship explodes as the shard remains of the Neuroi within come falling down.
When your sanity's a hurricane
When your sanity's a hurricane
When your sanity's a hurricane
When your sanity's a hurricane
...a hurricane
"The Warlock... It's finally dead." Tony spoke. "They did it!" Shirley said. "Yeah, but where are they?" Johnny asked. They look up as they see the others still standing. "Oh...! Oh! Guys! There they are!" Nogla shouts as he points to them. Shirley, Francesca and the Wizards fly to them as they soon started celebrating. "Yoshika... We've done it! We've destroyed the Warlock!" Kona yells in excitement as he hugs her. " Guys! You're amazing! I don't know how you figured that out, but, wow!" Lynne says as she and Brock, laughing, hugs them as well. "YOU GUYS DID SOMETHING!" He cheered.
Oh you can pull me under
...pull me under
Craig starts cheering as well as he and Perrine fly away from them, as she scoffs them off. "Perrine! We did it! We saved the day!" Craig hurrahed as he hugs her from behind and kisses her cheek. Perrine blushes from this, but gives in and smiles, looking back at him and the others.
So let's wash away the night
Into a town called paradise
Perrine then turns around as she notices something in the distance. "Perrine?" Craig spoke to her. "What's that?" She asks as they along with the others see the Neuroi hive disappearing. "Look at the hive...!" Mio spoke in astonishment. "No way... Is it really?!" Tony asks in astonishment as well. "It's disappearing!" Shirley said. "Ladies, gentlemen... THIS VICTORY IS OURS!" Tony excitedly screams as he raised his Zatoichi in the air. The wizards loudly cheer and whoop as they raise their hands in the air with him. "Gallia... My homeland is freed... after all this time." Perrine uttered.
Into a town called paradise
"Keisuke, come in! This is Will on the line!" Will spoke over the microphone. "Will? What's going on?" Keisuke asks in urgency. "We've done it! We've destroyed the Warlock!" He tells him in joy. "Ah! I can see it from here! You all did it!" Keisuke says, thrilled. "We'll be returning to base shortly to celebrate. Be ready to meet with us out on the runway!" Will tells him. "I'll be there as soon as possible, Will! Great work, all of you!" Keisuke proudly responds. "Alright, Witches. Wizards. Let's return to base and celebrate in victory!'" Will proudly spoke as they all respond in agreement and take off soon afterwards.
Into a town called paradise
"So that's it..." Mio spoke. "Yep... It's finally over." Tony agreed. "Yeah..." Minna agreed as well. "Great work, everyone. All units, return home!" She told everyone. "YES, MA'AM!" They all respond. They finally make it back to the base to find Keisuke waiting for them on the runway. "Hey, guys! It's me, Keisuke!" He shouted from below. "Guys, there he is!" Tony says to everyone. They descend, land on the runway and disengage from their units as they walk over to him. "Strike Witches, Strike Wizards. Welcome back to base! Congratulations to all of you for your valiant efforts in destroying the Warlock!" He said, saluting to all of them.
They all salute him back as Will says to him: "Yes. We appreciate the praise. But we're most thankful of you, for helping us as much as you could in such dire times." He puts his hand on his shoulder as Minna walks up to him to thank him as well. "Yes. Thank you, Keisuke. You were quite a big help for us, really." Minna said. "It's my honor to work for you, Minna." He replies, bowing his head to her. "Now, where's Sergeant Shinkawa?" He asked. They point over to him with Yoshika, Brock, Lynne, Craig and Perrine by his side.
Keisuke walks over to them as they stop what they were doing and look at him. "Kona?" Brock spoke to him. "Ah... Keisuke!" Kona greets him. "Hello, Kona. I'd like to congratulate you and Miyafuji in destroying the Warlock. It was brave of you both to do it on your own." He says to them. "Thank you." They both respond. Kona then looks over to Brock and Craig and realizes he hasn't introduced them to him. "Ah! Keisuke! These two are part of us wizards! Let me introduce to you: Brock Macmillen and Craig Reinhardt!" Kona spoke as he presented the two to him.
"Uh...! Hey! We, helped them in...!" Craig stammered. "We... Helped them in destroying the Warlock along with Lynette and Perrine!" Brock finished for him. "Yeah, yeah! That's what we did!" Craig agreed to his statement. "Really? Well then, I'll have to give my thanks to all of you for helping them." Keisuke tells them. "No problem." "Yeah, sure." "Thank you." Brock, Craig and the witches respond. "And, it's a pleasure to finally meet you two along with the other wizards." Keisuke said. "Sure thing." "Good to meet you, too." Brock and Craig replied.
Kona then sighs as Yoshika turns to him. "Kona. Are you tired?" She asked. "Yeah. I don't know why, but... I feel like I'm gonna pass out." Kona replies to her. Surely enough, he immediately does so as he slumps onto Yoshika. She holds him in her arms, surprised of his sudden actions. "Kona...! Commander Minna, Will! It's Kona!" She called to them. They come to her to see her holding Kona. "What is it, Miyafuji?" Minna asked. "He passed out." She told them. "I see why. It must have been quite a day for him today. Right, Minna?" Will says, turning to her.
"Yes, I agree." She replied. "Everyone. Let's bring it all in, head inside and take a breather for the rest of the day. Excellent job today." Will told the Witches and Wizards. "Yes, sir." They respond as they head inside the hangar. "Come on, you two. I'm sure you'd love to have a good rest by now." Will notions Yoshika to follow him, Keisuke and Minna. "Yes, right away." Yoshika replies as she follows them while carrying Kona in her arms.
Kona rolls his head around for a bit before he gets up from the floor and opens his eyes to find that he is stranded in a white void. "Huh? Where am I? Where are the others? Yoshika? Brock? Lynette? Craig? Perrine? Where are you guys?" He questions before he soon hears a voice from above. "Kona! There you are!" The voice spoke. "What the? Where did that come from? Was it from up there?" Kona asks as he looks up. "Don't you recognize my voice?" It said to him. Kona gasps as he realizes who is speaking to him.
"It's you! The Writer!" Kona exclaimed. "That's correct." The Writer spoke. "Where am I? What happened to me?" Kona asked. "I knocked you out. You're in your own mind right now. Wherever you walk, there's no end." The Writer explained. "So, this is pretty much an endless void, right?" Kona asked. "That's right." The Writer answered. "I see..." Kona said, understanding the situation. "So what am I doing in here? Why did you knock me out in the first place?" He asked the Writer.
"Ah, yes! I just remembered. Kona, I've managed to gain contact with someone very important and I'd like for you to meet him in person." The Writer explained. "Really? Who?" Kona questioned. "You'll see. Doctor, it's time. Show yourself." The Writer said.
Then from a far distance, Kona saw a man dressed in business attire, who also happened to be wearing glasses, making his way over to him. Kona stands nobly as the man approaches him. "Are you Kona Shinkawa?" He asks him. "Yes. And may I ask who are you?" Kona responds. "Certainly. I am Dr. Ichiro Miyafuji, the creator of the Striker Unit and as you'd expect, Yoshika's father." He proclaims as Kona gasps in surprise of who he said he was.
"What?! I-?! Y-Y-You're her father?!" Kona stammeringly asks. "Yes. I have made that clear to you." Ichiro confirms. "Well...! It's really an honor to meet you in person, or in mindset, or, you know what I mean! It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Miyafuji!" Kona bowed to him while blushing at the same time. "Please, Kona. No need to be so formal with me. Just call me 'Ichiro'." He politely said. "Alright, Ichiro. I understand." Kona replied, calming himself down. "Good. Now then, how about I start by saying that I've learned about how you've been looking over my daughter for the past few months when you and your friends arrived here, I am I correct?" He spoke.
"Y-Yes. That's right. Yoshika and I got along really well after the day we first met. So well in fact, that... we ended up in a relationship together." Kona confessed. "I can tell." Ichiro tells him. "How so?" Kona asked. "Those expressions you're giving me. I can easily tell that you've harbored quite the amount of feelings towards my daughter. And don't worry, I'm fine with you loving her. If she's happy to be with you, then so am I. I'm sure that my wife and Yoshika's grandmother would be accepting of you, as well." Ichiro assured him.
"Why, thank you. I appreciate your support." Kona replies, bowing in respect. "No worries. You and Yoshika have done well in working together. She's grown to become quite the soldier in those past months and I have you to thank for making her who she is now." He tells him. "It's my pleasure." Kona responded. "I really appreciate having the chance to speak with you, Dr. Miyafuji." Kona says to him extending his hand out. "Same goes to you, Kona." He replies, shaking his hand. "But I really have to thank the Writer for bringing us together to talk with each other." Kona said, looking up.

"It's no problem. I figured that with the Warlock destroyed, it'd be as good of a time for you both to know about each other." The Writer explained. "I'm really going to miss your daughter when I leave." Kona tells Ichiro. "I know. You and your friends came from another dimension similar to ours and with your objectives completed, you all plan on returning home. I know this because the Writer told me all of this information earlier." He explained. "I see. Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, Ichiro." Kona said, shaking his hand again.
"Same to you, Kona. You and the Wizards have made quite a difference with your appearance here in this world, and I'm sure that the entire human race would remember the hard-fought battles involving the Strike Witches and Strike Wizards." Ichiro says, starting to walk away. "Ichiro." Kona called. "Yes, Kona?" He responds. "Will we ever meet each other again?" He asked. "I'm very certain that we'll see each other again." He answered, starting walk again before stopping once more. "Oh, and Kona..." He spoke to him once more, bringing his attention.
"Tell Yoshika that I'll always be proud of her for what she's done to protect everyone." He told him. "I will." Kona responds. "And one last thing I'll say to you before we part ways." He said. "Yes?" Kona asked. "I've told Yoshika the day before I left her: 'Promise me when you grow up, you'll use that power to protect everyone.' So here's something that I request of you. Kona, promise me when you return to this world, you'll use that power of yours to save everyone." Ichiro spoke. "Y... Yes! I promise! I'll use my powers to save everyone!" Kona accepted, saluting to him.
"Good. Well, until we meet again... Farewell, Kona. And thank you for looking after Yoshika for me." Ichiro said, waving him goodbye. "Goodbye, Ichiro. Until we meet again!" Kona replied, waving goodbye as well. Then, the white void started to brighten as the Writer started to bring him back to reality.
~501st Joint Fighter Wing Base, Kona and Yoshika's Room, 1:04 P.M.~
Kona slowly opens his eyes and finds himself tucked into bed with Yoshika sleeping by his side, cuddling onto him. She soon wakes up and the first thing she sees is Kona wide awake as well. "Hey, Kona." She greets him with a kiss on his cheek. "Hey, Yoshika. Were you sleeping with me this whole time?" Kona greeted back, asking her a question. "Yeah. You were..." Yoshika spoke before she was interrupted by someone clearing their throat. They turn their heads to find Mio sitting by the bedside, along with Keisuke.
"Mio, Keisuke. What are you two doing in our room?" Kona spoke to them. "We were watching over both of you while you slept." Mio said. "What happened to me?" Kona asked. "You passed out earlier. It honestly must have been quite a long day for you two, hasn't it?" Keisuke spoke. "Yeah. But about me passing out, there was something that happened while I was out." Kona responds. "Huh, what is it?" Mio asked. "I'm certain for sure this happened, but when I was thrown into the depths of my own mind, I... met with..." Kona mumbled. "Who, Kona. Who did you meet?" Mio asked.
"Ichiro Miyafuji..." He answered. "Dr. Miyafuji?!" Mio and Keisuke ask in shock. "My dad?!" Yoshika spoke as well. Kona nods his head in response to their shock. "What did you two talk about?" Mio asked. "Well, not much. He talked with me about how he knew about how the wizards and I managed to get to this dimension in the first place. And then, he started bringing up things about Yoshika and all. Our relationship, our teamwork, all of that." Kona explained.
"Anything else that both of you spoke about?" Mio asked. "Well, right before we decided to part ways, he grabbed my attention one last time to tell me something and to let Yoshika know what he said towards her." Kona spoke again. "What did he have to tell me, Kona?" Yoshika asked. "He said that he'll always be proud of you for what you've done to protect everyone. And he really means everyone. Me, Mio, Lynette, Trude, Sanya, the other witches, the wizards. All of us felt safe because of you." Kona said to her.
"Really?" Yoshika asked. Kona nods in response. Yoshika hugs him in delight as he hugs her back. "Miyafuji, you must be really happy to have someone like him for a father, don't you?" Mio says to her as she nods back. "Yes, I do." She replied. "Kona." Keisuke spoke. "Yes?" He responds. "What do you have to say, Keisuke?" Mio asks him. "Did Dr. Miyafuji say anything to you before you both said goodbye?" He questioned. "Yeah... He did..." Kona slowly answered. "What did he tell you, Shinkawa?" Mio asked him as well.
"Well... Hey, Yoshika." Kona talks to her. "Yeah, Kona?" She responds. "Do you remember what your dad said to you before he left you?" He asks her. "Yeah, he said to me to promise him that when I grow up, I'd use my power to protect everyone." She told him. "Yeah. That's the one. I promised him that... when I come back to this world, I'd use my powers to save everyone." Kona confessed. "Shinkawa... You must feel very honored to have met Dr. Miyafuji in such a way, and to be commended for your service here in the 501st. Is that true?" Mio asked.
"Yes. I really am." Kona admitted. "Glad to hear that." Mio said. "Pardon me for asking but... Where are the others?" Kona asked. "I think the witches and wizards were having some fun over at the dining room. They were playing those... what do you boys call those again?" Mio spoke. "Video games." Kona answered. "Yes. That's what they were called. They were playing them in the dining room, last I checked." Mio said. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go and see them." Kona suggested as he and Yoshika got out of bed. Mio and Keisuke look at each other and nod in agreement. They get up from their seats and lead the way outside and onward to the dining room.
~Dining Room, 1:09 P.M~
Background Music: Strike Witches OST - Heiwa no Inori
The witches were kicking back with the wizards in the dining room as they were currently playing "Rocket League". The others watched Brian and Trude dominate with a score of 18-15 against Logan and Eila as the game was being shown over the projector. The match had been customized to utilize infinite boost power, when if used, will instantly blast off the driver in high speed and with enough air would allow them to fly freely. The game had been going on for almost 5 minutes, with the clock now down to 45 seconds.
"Holy shit... I think this game might be a close one. It could be anyone's game here!" Tony commentated. "Well considering how fast our cars are going, I think it'll take longer than 30 seconds to score some more goals. But I know for sure that we are going to win this game! Isn't that right, Trude?" Brian spoke. "Right!" Trude replies in confidence. "Oh, I wouldn't want to act too confident now, guys." Logan quipped as they turn to look at him and Eila. "I mean, both of you witches are already getting the hang of this gaming thing and all. But don't even think that you can just steam roll us so easily, cause Eila and I might sneak our way back up. Right?" Logan said as he turned to her.
"Mm-hmm." Eila agreed, nodding her head. "Really, Logan? That's how you want to play this, huh? Well then, show us what you've got!" Brian challenged. The game was back on after 3 seconds, but before it could continue, Tony interrupted them. "Hey, guys! Pause for a sec'! Someone's here!" He told them. They pause the game and turn to the door to see Kona and Yoshika along with Mio and Keisuke. "Kona! Yoshika!" He called to them. "Hi, guys!" Yoshika replied. "What are you all doing?" Kona asked.
"We're just relaxing with the witches and playing our games here in the dining room." Tony answered. "I can clearly see." Kona confirmed. "Hey Kona. Yoshika. How are you two holding up?" Brock greeted as he and Lynette approached them. "Yoshika and I are doing fine. Thanks for asking, Brock." Kona responded. "*sighs* I'm glad to know that you're okay after you passed out back there. You and Yoshika did your best." Lynette said as she hugged both of them. "Uh-! Thanks, Lynne." Kona replied.
"So since we're not leaving yet, you guys decided to hang out in here to pass the time?" Kona asked. "Yeah." The guys replied, as the others nodded. "What were you guys playing before I showed up?" He asked. "Rocket League." Logan answered. "Rocket League, huh? Okay then, so what's happening?" Kona asked. "Brian and Logan are in teams of two with Trude and Eila as their teammates. And even though we customized the rules for the match, they seem to have gotten the hang of the controls real quick." Tony explained.
"Really? I wanna see this for myself. Come on, let's get to it." Kona said. "Alright. Just find a seat on the table and we'll continue the game." Tony said to them. Kona and Yoshika sit alongside Brock and Lynette, and give Tony a nod of confirmation. "Okay, we're all good. Let the game resume!" Tony announced. Brian unpauses the game and he and Trude continue their match with Logan and Eila from where they left off.
Brian speeds off from the middle of the goalline, with Trude on his right, to the ball in the center of the field, Trude partially uses her booster and gets the ball on Logan and Eila's side. The ball bounces off the wall and over to the right side of the goal. She punts at it as Logan uses his boost to try and hit it, but misses as he goes under it and up the wall. Eila misses it as well, as it rolls away from her range. Brian drives around the action until the ball is within his reach. He circles around and hits the ball over to the goal, scoring him and Trude another goal.
"Oh, what a goal! Good assist, Trude!" Brian commended as he high-fives her. "Thanks, Brian." She responds. "Ah! If only I boosted to it sooner, I wouldn't have went under it!" Logan spoke. "Or, you would've wanted to slow down for that moment and we would've had it." Eila suggested. "Mm... Good point." Logan replied. "Eh... Either way, you guys gotta admit, this is pretty fun. I'm not gonna lie, I'm having a good time right now." Brian said. "Yeah. I'm actually liking this video game thing that you guys have in your time." Eila admitted.
"Well, thanks Eila. It's good to know that you and the others are on board with this and all." Logan said to her. "Ah-! It's nothing, Logan! I'm just giving my honest opinion." Eila responded, looking him in the eye while blushing. "Yeah, don't worry. I got you." Logan assured her. "Alright, game's back on, let's go!" Brian spoke. Logan and Trude dashes to the ball with their boosters, resulting in the ball bouncing off of her first, then to Logan, and ending in them crashing into each other while the ball flies to the wall on Logan and Eila's left.
Eila steals it as it veers towards Brian and Trude's goal. The ball rolls off to the side of the goal as Brian boosts ahead of her and bounces the ball all the way up from the wall and lets it fall to the field while he uses his boost in midair, allowing him to fly freely with the added acceleration. "Hey guys, look at me, I'm flying!" Brian boasted. "Wait, you can fly in this game?!" Francesca questioned in surprise. "Yeah. With enough momentum, you can use the boost in midair to fly." Tony explained. "Wow, that's pretty neat!" Shirley commented.
"Hey, I'm back in!" Trude spoke as she and Logan respawned onto the field. She immediately dashes for the ball on her right and hits it from the wall and across the playing field. She jumps and does a flip onto the wall where, the ball gains air time once again as Logan and Eila chase after it. They stop in front of Trude as they wait for the ball to come down. She gets ready to strike as it falls. The ball rolls off the lip of the wall and she hits it in the direction to where the goal is as Logan misses his chance, speeding off the wall, giving Brian an open shot.
He strikes it in and they both score yet again. "Yeah! It ours!" Trude shouted in confidence as Brian excitedly laughs and shakes his fist in joy. "That's 20 goals in the bag! Logan, Eila, I'm not sure if you guys can come back from this at all." Tony commentated. "I don't think this game is over just yet, Tony. There's still 15 seconds left. We still have a chance at making our comeback." Eila said. "You sure about that? You think you can get to 20 points in time?" Tony asks her as she nods her head in agreement. "Alright. Either way, let's see what happens." Tony said.
After waiting 3 more seconds, the game is back on once more. Trude, Logan and Eila take off for the ball while Brian stays back and watches from afar. Logan and Trude collide with the ball simultaneously yet again, causing it to launch in the air and land on the left-center of the field. The ball bounces up in the air for a few moments, as Brian finds an opening, and tries to strike at it. But he misses it as his jump was too low, allowing Logan to intercept and bring it towards his and Trude's goal.
There were just ten seconds left in the game, and just as Logan and Eila were about to make a shot and score, Trude patiently waits for the opportunity to turn things around and steals the ball from them. With only five seconds remaining, Trude decides to take one last shot at the goal, and thus, uses her boosters and jumps into the ball, propelling it in it's vicinity. Brian uses his boost to try and steal her thunder in the last 3 seconds, but he was too late as the clock buzzed in and the last goal was made.
"Oh my god! Trude just did a buzzer beater!" Tony shouted in excitement. The wizards and witches cheer in excitement as well as the game ends, with Brian and Trude taking home the win over Logan and Eila by 6 points. "OH! Trude! I can't believe you actually did that!" Brian shouted to her. "What?! What did I do?!" Trude hastily asks, blushing. "You made the last shot! We won the match! I'm so proud of you! Come here!" Brian tells her as he tightly wraps his arms around her, giving her a big hug.
Trude notices the scoreboard as she learns that they've beaten Logan and Eila with a score of 21 over 15. "We won? Wow, I never thought I would play this good." Trude said in wholeheartedness. "Yeah, Trude! You did fucking amazing that game!" Brian commended. "Thanks, Brian. It means a lot." Trude replied as they continued hugging. "Aw... We lost." Eila sulked. "Don't feel bad, Eila. We did pretty good out there. Look at the scoreboard. You got 9 goals more than I did." Logan said to her, trying to cheer her up.
She looks and notices that she's scored more than Logan did. "Hmm, I guess I did kind of good, playing for the first time." Eila admitted. "Yeah, that's the Eila I know. You did great in my eyes." Logan complimented, giving her a hug and even a kiss on the cheek as well. "Th-Thanks, Logan. I feel a lot better now cause of you." Eila spoke, flattered hugging and kissing him back. "Alright! So Brian and Trude won that game with a score of 21 over 15. Give a round of applause for our winners and don't forget about our other team, Logan and Eila. Give them a round, too." Tony announced as the wizards and witches applauded the two teams for their plays.
"Okay! Who wants to play next?" Tony asked the others. Everyone starts raising their hands so that they would get a chance to play next. And from there, they kept playing the game round after round before they finally finished all their matches with each other, and went out to their rooms to hang out and pass the time with one another.

~501st Joint Fighter Wing Base, Tony's Room, 6:30 P.M.~
Tony was passing the time by playing around in his laptop before he notices what time is it currently. He closes the laptop and says to himself: "It's time." He begins to pack up all of his belongings and preparing his headset to inform the other wizards about their departure. "Wizards. The time has come. Pack up all your shit and head out to the runway. We're going home..." He reported to the others over the transmission. Tony opens the door and finds Mio and Keisuke walking alongside each other, talking to one another.
"Mio. Keisuke." He called to them. "Kurosaki. Is it that time already?" She asked. "Yes. The wizards and I are heading home. Contact the witches and tell them to meet all of us over at the runway. You too, Keisuke." Tony ordered. "Yes, sir." Mio responded, with a warm smile. Keisuke nods in response as well. "Witches, report to the runway for an important matter to be informed of at this time." Mio commanded them. "Yes, ma'am." The witches respond over the radio. "Well then, shall we get a move on?" Tony asked. "Yes. You may take the lead, Major Kurosaki." Mio says to him. "Eh...! Right away then. Come on." He said, leading the way.
~Hangar Runway, 6:45 P.M.~
The witches and wizards were waiting patiently out on the runway as the wizards had all their equipment packed up from their weapons, being holstered onto them, and carrying their Striker Units in their arms. "Hey, has anyone seen Tony around here by any chance? He should've came by now..." Lynette asked as everyone shook their heads. Suddenly, someone spoke from afar, making them turn their heads to see who it was. "Hey. You're all here!" Tony said to everyone. "Tony!" The wizards shouted. "Major!" The witches shouted. "No worries, guys. We're both here. And we've brought Keisuke along with us, too." Tony said.
"Okay. Now that we're all here, what's this important matter that we need to know about?" Minna asked. "It's actually very important, in regards to what's going on, Minna. And that involves us wizards only..." He hinted her. "I get it now... You're all leaving?" Minna asked. "Yes. Not only are we leaving this base, but, we're returning home to our dimension." Tony explained to the witches. "Aw... You guys are really leaving?" Erica asked, bummed out. "Yeah, I know it's sucks for you guys to see us go, but don't worry. We'll come back someday. I'm sure of it." Tony answered.
"Well, I guess it won't be all bad for us because that also mean us witches are going home as well after this, right guys?" She asked the witches as they say 'Yes' and nod in response. "That's good to know." Tony said. "Now then... Wizards! Witches! Stand in formation, in the direction of the setting sun!" Tony commanded. The witches and wizards stand in formation and turn their heads towards the sun as it sets over the horizon. "Ten hut!" He spoke in a commanding voice. The witches and wizards salute to him as ordered.
"Officer 'Wildcat' Colburn. Front and center!" Tony commanded. Tyler steps forward and approaches Tony as he should. "May you please give a victory speech for all of our fellow comrade brethren?" Tony asked him. "Yes, sir." Tyler responded. "Good. Everyone! I give my word over to Officer Colburn. Please keep your attention on him for this speech that he'll give for all of us." Tony said, standing aside for Tyler to speak for everyone. He clears his throat and starts his speech.
"Alright, men. Listen up." Tyler said to the guys. "We've been stranded on this fucking dimension for far too long. Not sure why we decided to come back to our old base after we were forced to leave earlier today. But thank god that asshat Maloney isn't here anymore." He spoke. He pulls out his shotgun and points it to the air. "Maloney, FUCK YOU!" He shouts as he fires it off, prompting the others to say it with him while firing off their weapons as well as they laughed and cheered in victory.
"Anyways... We've become quite a crack team of wizards these past months. We got our sniperman, Brock, or as we call him, Moo Snuckel." Tyler said as the witches applaud him for his service for the 501st. "We have our spy, Craig the MiniLadd." He says. The witches applaud him as well as he bows in praise. "We've got our four aces, Johnny, or H2O Delirious, which is his full nickname by the way, Logan, whom calls himself as Fawful's Minion, Brian, the Terroriser, which I don't really need to say much cause his nickname explains everything for us, and finally our battle officer, Tony. Give it up for these four, ladies!" Tyler spoke as the witches clap for them while they raise their weapons in triumph.
"Don't forget about the leader of the Strike Wizards, Will, who calls himself the RabbidLuigi, ladies you may give him your honor." Tyler continues as the witches then cheer for Will as he only looks at them, feeling flattered to be honored so much. "We even got an ace monkey to boot, ain't that right, Lui-guy?" Tyler said to him. "Heck yeah!" Lui spoke in his kid voice, causing the witches and wizards to laugh in joy. "Yeah... But! Don't forget about me, of course! Come on! Give me some love!" Tyler said as he beckons them to cheer for him. The witches laugh as they clap for him as well.
"But! Let's not forget the one last person on our team! The true team player, our healer! Everyone, please! Make some noise for Kona!" Tyler shouts. Everyone cheers loudly for Kona as he starts to tear up from all the praise he's getting from both his friends and the witches. "Thank you, everyone. All praise is much appreciated." Kona said. "Alright, guys. The portal should be opening up anytime now." Tyler said. Then on-cue, the portal rippled into the sky as everyone stared in silence at the vast sight.
Then, as it spiraled around, the Writer spoke to the wizards from the portal: "Strike Wizards! You have done well in your fulfillment to push back the Neuroi alongside the Strike Witches! I have managed to purge the Neuroi back in your world before they could do any harm, so I have now opened this portal for you all to return home to your world." "Who is that voice that's speaking to you guys?" Yoshika asks. "The Writer, an entity we met on the way here for the first time. We don't know much about him either, so don't ask any questions." Kona said as the witches could only nod.
"Not yet. There's something we have to say to the witches before we go." Tony tells the Writer. "No worries. You may leave through the portal at any time when you're ready." The Writer tells them. "Alright, then. We can leave at any time, that's good. So let's say goodbye to the witches, and then get the fuck out of here and head home!" Tyler told the guys as they nod in response. They fly over to the witches to say their goodbyes to them.
"So, you're really leaving, Lui?" Francesca asks him. "Yeah, I know it's hard to see me go after only a couple months being here but, I have to head home. Now that the guys and I have done what was needed to be done." Lui tells her. She then jumps on him, wrapping her arms and legs around him and kisses his cheek. "I'm gonna miss you, Lui Calibre! But I sure can't wait to see you again one day!" Francesca says to him. "I'll miss you, too, Francesca Lucchini. I'll be back one day." Lui replied.
"Sanya. I don't want to leave you. But as much as I want to stay to be with you, I have to go home." David tells her, with sadness in his voice. "Don't worry about me, David. I'm sure it'll be best for both of us. Besides, I still need to find my mother and father. I know they're still out there somewhere in Orussia..." Sanya tells him. "Well, I hope you find your parents one day, but until we see each other again... Goodbye, Sanya." Nogla bids her as he kisses her cheek and hugs her. "Goodbye, David..." Sanya replies as she kisses him back.
"Perrine." Craig spoke. "Craig." She spoke as well. They stood still, looking at one another while blushing. "Well... This is it. This is the point where we say our goodbyes." Craig said to her. "Craig. I don't want you to go." Perrine spoke as she started to cry. "I don't want to leave you either, Perrine. But, I have to go back home." Craig tells her.
"Craig! Please don't go!" Perrine wailed as she hugs him tightly. "Perrine, I'm sorry for making you cry. But don't worry. We'll see each other soon. That's a promise I'll give to you." Craig said. "(sniffles) Okay then, Craig. I love you." Perrine tells him. "I love you, too, Perrine." Craig replies as he comforts her.
"Tyler, do you really have to go?" Erica asked. "Yeah. I know, it sucks to see me go." Tyler answered. "Can't you just take me with you? You've showed me so many things about the future that I want to come with you and know more about what it has to offer!" Erica pleaded him. "I wish I could! I do! But, I'm pretty sure you have other things you need to do with Minna and Trude. Right?" Tyler responds to her question.
"Yeah... *sighs* Well, Tyler Colburn. I can't wait to see you again, and maybe when you come back, you can have this sexy body to mess with." Erica flirted as she rubbed herself onto him, making him have an erection. "Oh, I'll definitely be waiting for the day when I get to have that pussy of yours for myself! Just you wait, Erica Hartmann! I'll come back for that pussy one day!" Tyler declared as Erica giggled in response.
"So, Lynette..." Brock said. "Yes, Brock?" She asked him. "I'm leaving for home." He told her. "You're really going home?" Lynette asked. "Yeah... I'm sorry to leave you so soon." Brock apologized. "It's okay, Brock. I know why you have to go. I'll miss you." Lynne said. "I'll miss you, too, Lynette. So, one last kiss before I go?" Brock asked her as he extends his arms to her.

Lynette grabs him by the neck and gives him one last kiss before he leaves. He kisses her as he puts his hands on her waist. They stop kissing as they then say their farewells. "Okay then. Take care, Brock." Lynette said. "Yeah, you too, Lynette." Brock replied.
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
"Shirley! (sniffles) I don't want to go! I want you to come with me! Please!" Johnny said to her as he was crying. "Johnny, don't cry. I want to come with you. But I have things that I have to get to back to like defending my land speed record and all. Maybe another time, alright?" Shirley says to him as she starts tearing up. "But wait, won't I see you again one day?" Johnny asked. "Don't worry. I'll always be here for you in your heart." Shirley said as she pointed to his chest.
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
"And, I would love to give you another good time when you come back." Shirley said as she grabbed his cock one last time. "I'm gonna miss you and your soft tits, Shirley! (sobs)" Johnny cried as he hugs her and rubs his head in between her breasts. "There, there. Johnny. Everything's going to be okay. You love me, right?" She asks him as she presses him onto her tightly while comforting him. "I love you, Shirley. You mean everything to me." Johnny tells her.
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
Logan and Eila blush at one another as it's their last time they'll see each other for the time being. "So, you're leaving..." Eila spoke to him. "Yeah, I'm sorry..." Logan apologizes to her. "Oh, Logan. Please don't leave. You made so much love to me, that I want to stay close to you for as long as I live. I'd even go as far as to leave this world and go and live a new life with you in yours." Eila told him as she started to form tears. "I wish you could live with me, but, you've got Sanya you need to look after, right?" Logan asks as she turns to look at her, making her nod in response.
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place
"Okay, I understand. But like I said before, I'll always be thinking about you even after you're gone." Eila tells him. "Thanks, Eila." Logan tells her. She then kisses him out of the love that they hold for one another. Logan rightfully kisses with her as they hold onto each other tightly. They finish kissing as they say their farewells to each other. "Goodbye, Logan. I love you." Eila said. "Goodbye, Eila. I love you, too." Logan replied.
Why'd you have to leave so soon?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to leave me when I needed you the most?
"Well, Trude. The day has come. I'm finally heading for home." Brian spoke to her. "Yeah..." She replies while nodding. "We've had quite a good run together in this crazy ride, did we?" He said. "Yeah, this really did feel like a crazy ride." She admitted. "It started off with you tackling me to the floor..." Brian said. "To which, I ended up falling in love with you during your time here..." Trude continued. "And it all ends with the nest destroyed, and me on my way home." He finished.
'Cause I don't really know how to tell ya
Without feeling much worse
I know you're in a better place
But it's always gonna hurt
"*sighs* I'm gonna miss you, Brian." Trude told him. "I'll miss you, too, Trude. Can you give me one last kiss before I go?" Brian requested in a cute tone. "Okay..." She responds. Brian faces his cheek in her direction, to which she then closes her eyes and slowly approaches him, when suddenly, he surprises her by kissing her back on her lips.
Carry on | How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Give me all the strength I need to carry on | Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
She opens her eyes, blushes and then let's go from Brian's surprise kiss. "Brian! You...!" She spoke in shock. "You like what I did? Do you?" He asks, smirking at her. "Okay, Brian. The day you come back, just wait. I'll have a bigger surprise for you then." She replied, smirking along. "Ha, ha...! That's my Trude." Brian says as he rubs down on her hair while still holding her with his other arm.
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (See you again)
"Well, Will. This is the day where you return to your world." Minna says to Will. "Yes it is, Minna. Yes it is." Will replies in confirmation. "I really enjoyed that song you sang to me that night. Thank you for doing that for me." She thanks him. "It was my pleasure." He tells her. "So what do you plan on doing by the time you get back to your world?" Minna asks. "I'm not really sure, actually. But, one thing for sure, I'll have to get everything settled again after the Neuroi messed with my equipment and all..." Will said.
We've come a long way (Yeah, we came a long way) from where we began (where we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
"Well whatever the case, I wish you with all my heart a safe trip home, Commander Will Allen." Minna bids him as they hug and kiss each other on the cheek. "Same goes to you, too, Commander Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke. Until we see each other again..." Will replied.
"Mio, I was wondering. Now that us wizards are leaving, and that the Strike Witches are resigning, what do you plan on doing when you return home to Japan, or in your case, Fuso?" Tony asked her. "Well, either way, I'm sure this won't be the last time I'll be flying, but for now, I'm going to be returning to the Fusoan Navy and continue as a training mentor for future sailors." Mio told him. "Still working in the military units, huh?" Tony says to her. "Don't worry. I really do enjoy my line of work in the Navy." Mio assures him. "Well, if you're fine with it, then so am I." Tony said.
First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship
A friendship turn to a bond
And that bond will never be broken
The love will never get lost
"Kona..." Yoshika spoke. "Yoshika..." Kona replied. "You're, really going to leave, are you?" Yoshika asked. "Yeah. Time really goes so fast, doesn't it?" Kona says to her. "Yeah, it really did." Yoshika agreed. "I'm really going to miss you, Yoshika." He told her. "I know, I'll miss you, too." She responded. "But, even though I'm leaving, I just want you to know that, you and everyone else has changed my life for the better, so what I want to say is: Yoshika Miyafuji... Thank you..." He tells her as he kisses her forehead. Yoshika blushes, and soon after, hugs and kisses him back.
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reach
So remember me when I'm gone
She starts to form tears of happiness as she says in response: "No... Thank you, Kona Shinkawa. You've done a lot more for me than I could ever do for you. I've put all of my trust on you, and you would always stand by me whenever I was down on my luck. I love you so much!" Kona is taken aback by her words, and starts to become teary-eyed himself.
How do I breathe without you
I'm feeling so cold
He hugs her tightly with all his strength and love flowing within his body and they both shed off their tears from each others eyes afterwards. "Okay then. Until next time, goodbye Yoshika." Kona told her. "Goodbye Kona. Have a safe trip back home." She bid him goodbye. "Yeah, you too..." He replied.
I'll be waiting right here for you
Till the day you're home
As Tony and Will continued to talk with Mio and Minna for a little bit, they remember about Keisuke being there to watch them leave.
Carry on
Give me all the strength I need to
"Ah! Keisuke!" Tony called. They all walk up to him as they have their last chat with him. "So, you two and the rest of the wizards are finally leaving, right?" Keisuke asked. "Yeah. Sorry you never had a chance to personally meet our friends individually." Will apologized.
Carry on
Give me all the strength I need to
"Don't worry. I'm okay that." Keisuke affirmed. "Huh?" Tony asked. "Everything that you could tell about the wizards for me those days when we were inside the hangar, I think I know good enough that you're all really great people." He told them.
Carry on | How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Give me all the strength I need to carry on | Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
"Really? Well, it was nice to have met you, Keisuke. And with all due respects, thanks for helping us today." Will commended him. "Not a problem. It's my duty to help others." Keisuke replied. "Hey, wait before we go, there's something I want to ask you." Tony spoke. "What is it that you ask of me, Tony?" Keisuke asked. "Keisuke, for all those talks we've had inside the hangar, for helping us and the Strike Witches in destroying the Warlock today... How you like to take the title of being the honorary Vice-Commander of the Strike Wizards?" Tony asked him.
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (See you again)
"Wha-?! Me?! A part of the Strike Wizards?! But, I-I can't use magic!" Keisuke told him. "He's right, Kurosaki. How can he be part of the Strike Wizards if he can't use magic?" Mio asked him. "Don't worry! It won't involve magic at all!" Tony explained. "What do you mean by that?" Keisuke asked. "Keisuke, I'm sure that with us gone and all, the military would want to know who we are and where we came from, so for the time being, until we come back, we want you fill in for us as one of our commanding officers of this squad." He further explained.
We've come a long way (Yeah, we came a long way) from where we began (where we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
"Keisuke, are you willing enough to take this order?" Will asked him. Keisuke closes his eyes to think for a moment. He then opens them, and gives the two a salute. "Strike Wizards, you have my word. I'll gladly take the title of being your honorary Vice-Commander." He accepted. Tony nods his head at him, responding with: "You've made the right decision, Hijikata. Welcome to the team. Feels kinda ironic for me to say that even though we're leaving, but still, welcome." "Thank you for the offer, I won't let either of you down upon your departure." Keisuke tells them.
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
"No worries. We know you won't." Will responds. "Alright, Keisuke. Until we meet again... Goodbye for now." Tony bids him goodbye as he and Will each offer a hand to Keisuke. "Farewell, Strike Wizards. May you all have a safe flight back to your world." Keisuke said as he shook both of their hands. Just as they were to call for all the wizards to get their Strikers on and prepare for takeoff, Tony suddenly thinks of something to do before they go. "Hold on, wait for one moment everyone!" Tony shouted as everyone looked at him.
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
"Before we go. Let's take one picture with them to remember this adventure!" He told them. They all nod in agreement. "But first, anyone got a camera and tripod?" Tony asked. "Don't worry. I got one!" Kona spoke as he opened his backpack and pulled out what was requested. "Thanks, dude." Tony said as he setted up the camera to take the photo, sets the timer to go off in 10 seconds and aims it towards the witches behind the runway. "Alright, guys. Take off the Striker Units for one moment and stand there with the witches." Tony told the guys as they comply.
So let the light guide your way
Hold every memory as you go
They stand together with their respective lovers as Tony gets the camera ready. He presses the button and starts to run towards the others. "Alright, timer's counting down, get ready!" Tony said. They stare at the camera, ready to give their best smile. Tony stands next to Mio and places his arm over her shoulder. She turns to him as he nods at her. She understandably nods as they turn back to the camera. The camera flashes as the picture had been taken.
And every road you take
Will always lead you home
The wizards then put the camera/tripod away and told the witches that they'll give them copies of the picture when they return. They put their Striker Units back on their legs, stand in formation, then looked back at the witches one last time and gives them a salute. The witches smile back and salute them off as well. "Alright, we've said our goodbyes. Now, let's get the hell outta here!" Tyler spoke. "Let's do this!" Tony shouted. "Let us go." Tyler said.
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
The wizards ignited the engines in their Striker units, preparing for take off. "Alright. We got the engines going. Lui. Count us down." Tyler commanded. "Got it! (Computer beep noises)" Lui spoke in his kid voice, still, as the others laugh. "Okay! You guys ready to take off?" Lui asked. "Yep!" "Ready!" "Yeah!" "Ready, fucking hell, man!" "I'm ready." "We're ready!" The wizards reply.
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
"'Kay! 10... 9... 8... Apple... Orange... (Translation: 8... 7... 6... 5... 4...) 3... 2... 1!" Lui counted down. Thus, the wizards take off in speed as they cheered and whooped in excitement. "YEAH!" "WHOO" "YEAH, BOY!" "Here we go!" "WE'RE GOIN' HO-OOOMMMEE!"
When I see you again
See you again
The witches wave goodbye to them as they all go through the portal. The portal starts to close and soon after leaves off an explosion ring that later disippates into thin air.
When I see you again
"Well, looks like it's all settled then. The Strike Witches have officially disbanded." Mio said. "Yes, we have disbanded. But one day for sure, the Strike Wizards will make their return..." Minna said as they along with Keisuke and the other witches stared at the orange sky.
The wizards return onto the bridge between the Witch's world and their world, the place where they first met the Writer. "Well, congratulations once more, Strike Wizards. I'm honestly surprised all of you were able to hold your own against the Neuroi. And in such time, too." The Writer said to them. "Yeah, it's hard to believe how much we've grown to become such a team after all that." Tony admitted.
"Well, either way, I've managed to eliminate all traces of the Neuroi that leaked over to your world, so I'm happy to inform that it's safe for all of you to return home." He reported. "I'll open portals for each and everyone of you right now." He told them. He opens one portal for each of the wizards to go through. "Each of these portals, should you enter them, will take you back home to your respected location of residency." He told them. "Good. But wait, Writer... Before we go, there's something I want to ask." Tony requested.
"Is there? What's your question?" The Writer asks. "The Strike Witches... We'll we ever see them again?" Tony asked. "I'm certain that in a matter of time, the Neuroi will return to exact their retaliation on you, so if that ever happens one day, you'd better be ready to return to the Witch's world as soon as possible." The Writer answered. "I see... Also, I know that all of us here a team and all, but I was wondering... Are we not the only ones who can fly? Are there others out there that we know of that could possibly be like us?" Tony questioned.
"You know, you may have a point there. There could be possibilities that close friends or relatives of yours may encounter the Neuroi one day, and with that, they'll come and meet me for the first time and they'll have to work together in order to return home like you all have done." The Writer hinted. "Well, in that case, is there a way that you'll be able to contact us when something's at stake?" Tony inquired.
"Actually, yes. I do have a way to contact you all. I would like everyone of you to take out your phones and dial this number and save it to your list. It's very simple. And when I call you, you'll know when it's time to return. The number is: 303." The Writer said. The wizards take out their phones and save the number to their contacts lists. "Okay, we've got the number. We're all good here." Tony told the Writer. "Alright then. Until next time, farewell, Strike Wizards!" The Writer bid them goodbye.
"Well, guys... This is where we all part ways now..." Tony said to the others. "Yeah. We all go through those portals, we all head home." Tyler spoke. "Oh man... I'm honestly going to miss you guys when we all go through those portals." Logan said as he puts his arms over Johnny and Brian. "Yeah, I'm gonna miss you guys, too..." Brock said as well. "We're all going to miss seeing each other. But this won't be our last time seeing one another. We still have each other's Skype accounts and all. We'll still be able to see each from there." Tony brought up as everyone nodded in agreement.
"Well then, shall we all go now?" Will asked the wizards. "Yeah!" The wizards shout. "Alright. Strike Wizards! You've all done an outstanding performance in combating the Neuroi! And with that said, I am your Commander Will "RabbidLuigi" Allen. And I say, let's all go home! I'll see you all back online. Take care, my friends." Will bid the wizards goodbye as he prepared to head through the portal. "Bye." "Later, guys." "See you around, bitches!" "Take care, guys!" "See ya!" "Later!" "Bye, guys!" The wizards bid each other goodbye and thus, they all go through the portals and return home to where they live.
As the wizards finally arrive home from different locales, they disengage from their Striker Units and stored them inside their garages. Night has fallen from where they had come, so they went to head inside their houses when they suddenly heard animals making noises around their homes. They look to find the animals wandering around in the yard, by the fences, or around the sidewalks.
The animals they found included: a stray Shiba Inu, a straight-eared Scottish Fold cat, a black fox, a jackrabbit, a Chartreux, a black cat, a doberman, a Dachshund, a German Wiredhaired Pointer, and a greyhound. They immediately took them inside for them to rest, while they settled all their belongings. They checked their computers to make sure they were able to turn on again. Thankfully, they successfully powered on, confirming that there were no more traces of the Neuroi in their system.
They then all got ready to rest in bed after quite an adventure they all went through together. They close their eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
Yoshika's Final Word
In September 1944, the complete annihilation of the Neuroi in the Gallia region was confirmed. And the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, the Strike Witches, were officially disbanded. But never forgotten.
Word quickly spread across the general public around the world about the resurgence of wizards ever since they've disappeared in the first war. They haven't known about the fact that the wizards were from another dimension, but that information was known among military personnel and was meant to be kept a secret within their league. After the region of Gallia was freed, the 501st Joint Fighter Wing's newly-formed male division, the Strike Wizards, returned home to their dimension with the well-earned victory.
It's currently unknown as to when they'll return, but one things for sure, it won't be the last time they'll be seen. And who knows? There could be more of those that are like them in their world. With their help, the future will sure look bright up ahead for the witches and someday, the Neuroi will fall for good...
Ending Theme: Ellie Goulding - Love Me like You Do
As the wizards were sleeping comfortably, they all started to dream about everything that they went through after meeting the Strike Witches. All the intimate moments they had with them started flashing back into their minds as they slept.
Brock slept peacefully as he remembers all the moments he had with Lynette. What he remembered went from him looking after her when she almost bumped into the wall, to when he saw her breasts bouncing up and down when they were running together, to both of them having their first kiss, and finally to the moment where they worked together to take down the Neuroi.
You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
Craig slept, remembering the times where he and Perrine got on each others nerves, when he complimented her at any chance when he could, making her feel more proud of herself, when he gave her a surprise kiss out of frustration, where they both had an intimate moment in the bathhouse, and the time where they both combined their magic together and attacked simultaneously as a duo of sorts.
You're the fear, I don't care
Cause I've never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
Brian snored overnight as he remembered when Trude tackled him to the ground when they first met, when they both shared the same thoughts regarding her little sister, the moments where they both put their lives at risk for everyone else, and the moment where they joined together as one and had their first time.
So love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Tyler snored in his sleep as well, as he remembered when he and Erica played around with each other throughout the base, when he caught a glimpse of her without her panties, when they were messing around with the others with their antics, and the time where he showed Erica what video games were.
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Johnny smiles while sleeping, as he remembers the many things from grabbing Shirley's breasts from behind when they first met, the moment where they both broke the speed of sound, when he caught her in the air and made out with her while she was naked, and the two times they had sex with each other.
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Lui slept deeply as he remember when Francesca jumped onto him and felt his hair when they first met, the time where they break Johnny and Shirley's Strikers on accident, and the day when they stole everyone's pants and panties.
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
David dazed in bed with his eyes closed as he remembered when he and Sanya flew at night for the first time, Eila getting on his nerves when he tried to get close to her, kissing her under the moonlight, giving her his present on the night of her birthday, and singing to her and everyone else his song on the guitar.
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Logan felt like he was in heaven, as he reminisced about him and Eila joking around with the others, the moments where he showed his true feelings for her, when she saw him destroy the Neuroi at such speed, the moment they kissed under the moonlight, and the two times they made love having sex with each other.
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Will slept straight in bed as he thinks about the moment when Minna mentioned that he reminded her of her old lover, when he, Brian and Tyler were recognized by her for their efforts and were enlisted into the Luftwaffe, when she admitted her secret feelings towards him in Pas de Calais, and when he sang that song for Keisuke, in memory of her old lover, and especially for her, most of all.
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Tony slept, thinking about the time when he and Mio sparred against each other, and she ended up on top of him, the moment when he made that huge slice down on that Neuroi with his Zatoichi, the speech that Minna gave him when he was down on his luck, and finally the group hug that the witches gave him to bring his spirits back up.
I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
Kona sleeps quietly in the night as he thinks about everything that he has done with Yoshika over the past couple months. He remembers when she was feeling down, he comforted her to make her feel better. He remembers when he ÜberCharges in front of her and destroys the Neuroi with his sheer invincibility, ultimately saving her life. He remembered when he gave her that pajama dress on the night of her birthday, to which after that they both declared their love for each other.
What are you waiting for?
He then remembers about everything that happened earlier today before he and the Strike Wizards left, from him and Yoshika taking off, escaping from confinement to find the truth, never giving up on the brink of defeat when the Warlock strikes, to them taking it on by themselves to buy the others time to gear up.
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
He remembers lastly everyone helping him and Yoshika out by fending off the Warlock-fused Akagi from the outside, allowing him and the others to take it out from the inside, leading it all up to the chase to the center core when he and Yoshika thought of channeling all their magic to their Strikers and then throwing them right into the core where it blinds them all as it explodes.
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
He then opens his eyes in his dream as he finds himself lying on the ground with him and the wizards in a circle, to which the first thing they all see with there eyes are the witches, kneeling down, smiling at them, blushing lightly, as they wake up from their slumber.
What are you waiting for?
The wizards smile back and blush themselves as they look back at them with content in their eyes...

[Wizards/witches cheer for Yoshika and Sanya]
Happy birthday guys, sorry I was just a day late. But I hope this last chapter was a good gift for you two.
Yoshika: It's okay, Tony. I'm okay with you being late and everything.
Sanya: Yeah, it's okay. I really liked seeing this last episode. Thanks for showing it to us.
Tony: *sighs* Thanks guys. I feel so content right now. So that does it for Strike Wizards for now. I don't know when I'll make the next arc for the series, maybe I'll branch out to other JFW's based on personal interest and/or regarding the plot for next season, but either way the series will be back at some point, and so will all of us.
Alright, that does it with the first season of Strike Wizards and the first ordeal overall. So until the next ordeal, for the last time, I'm the Rocket Gamer,
Boys: We're the Strike Wizards,
Girls: We're the Strike Witches,
Tony: and with that, we'll see you guys around for next season.
ALL: See you next time!
Tony: Alright, we're outta here! Bye guys!
[Tony leaves along with everyone else behind]
A/N: Chapter revised as of January 17th, 2017.
