CHAPTER 20 : Chase Down

Aoi, Miyu, and Camilla finally arrives back at the Galaxy Starlight after buying their supplies. They enter the hangar, docks there, and gets out of the Ao Futuris. There, they are welcomed by Ran.

Ran: "Welcome back, Aoi."

Aoi: "Yeah, I'm home."

Miyu: "Kiriya-senpai! Help us carry those supplies!"

Camilla: "Our hands are full already! C'mon!"

Aoi: "Oh, okay, okay!"

Ran: "I'll help you."

Aoi: "Much appreciated."

Together, they unload the supplies from Ao Futuris and carries them to the dorm. After that's done…

Aoi: "Oh yeah, Ran. I almost forgot, I also bought some bento from Ichigo's house. Here's some, for you and for Ichigo."

Ran: "Oh cool, thanks.

Aoi: "By the way, where's Ichigo?"

Ran: "It appears that her doubts regarding whether she should trust Camilla or not is getting worse. She's been shutting herself inside her room since you three left."

Miyu: "Was that because I yelled at her for not believing my words?"

Aoi: "Just because of that thing? Wow, Seira's corruption on Ichigo is seriously getting out of control."

Camilla: "Dammit. At this rate, she will most definitely end up like Yumesaki."

Ran: "The headmistress of DreAca, right? I heard the story."

Miyu: "I don't want Hoshimiya-senpai to betray us. Please, I want to see Soleil rise again."

Aoi: "I'll do what I can, Miyu-chan. And don't forget, you have to continue your training."

Miyu: "Okay."

Ran: "By the way, what took you so long to return? Did something happen?"

Camilla: "Well, we met Kanzaki Mizuki again."

Ran: "You met her again?"

Aoi: "This time around, she has formed an idol unit with Natsuki Mikuru. Y'know, the girl that Ichigo met during her search for Mizuki back then?"

Ran: "Yeah, I remember."

Aoi: "With their Gundams, they call themselves WM, Double-M. Makes sense, since Mizuki's Gundam now looks like a combination between 00 and Double-X. They wish to have a showdown against me and Ichigo, most especially since Mizuki knows that Ichigo really wants a rematch with her."

Camilla: "But, of course we have to defeat DreAca and Seira's cultists first before we can do that."

Ran: "Not with Ichigo's current condition, though."

Miyu: "Try telling her about Mizuki's wish for the rematch. Who knows if her condition gets better."

Ran: "I'll try."

Aoi: "By the way, I better tell Headmistress Orihime and Johnny-sensei about Mizuki's new unit. And also the new information about Seira's cultist having new Mobile Suits."

Ran: "Sure thing, keeping everyone informed. But, wait, new Mobile Suits?"

Aoi: "I'll tell you after I tell the two. I'll be going now, see you!"

Aoi quickly runs off.

Ran: "Aoi! Man, she's fast."

Camilla: "I'm also going to check the progress on my 5wingZ Gundam."

Camilla also runs off following Aoi.

Ran: "You too?!" (facepalm)

In DreAca, Seira and Kii has just finished their maintenance on 2wingS Gundam. The Gundam is outfitted with stronger variants of its default weapons.

Kii: "Ah, finally done."

Seira: "Took us long enough. Thankfully Makina-san and Amahane-san managed to work together with the cultists and provide me with all these better weaponry."

Kii: "By the way, I heard you yelling on your phone. What happened?"

Seira: "I just wondered if my sister is fine or not, so I called her. But, I couldn't believe what I just heard from her."

Kii: "What?"

Seira: "That Camilla Dinah was tricking her into believing that she was me."

Kii: "Camilla? Did you mean our Xieras?!"

Seira: "Yes, that replica of me. My sister said that she met her at Ichigo's house alongside Aoi. And she performed her heretic acts by convincing my sister that I have made peace with Starlight Academy. That is clearly not my destiny as the God's Hallowed Child, because my destiny is solely to overthrow Mizuki with Ichigo's help as the sacred 2wingS, not actually making peace with them because God does not approve us to coexist with them. They are nothing but nay-sayers."

Kii: "Aren't we getting a bit too religious with these?"

Seira: "Well, I guess we are. But the glory of God is not to be questioned. Thanks to His blessings, now I should be able to stay many steps ahead of even the Starlight Queen or the Top Idol."

Kii: "I hope so. Not to mention your cultists are actually supplementing our forces with their own Mobile Suits. And they have GN Drives, albeit the fake ones."

Seira: "Yeah, GN Drive Taus, just like the one used by Starlight's variant of Ahead Sakigake. Though I doubt we will be able to get an original GN Drive, but I'm sure the upgrades on my 2wingS Gundam should be able to match the power of Aoi's Twin Drive System."

Kii: "And I'll always be here for your support."

Seira: "Yeah."

Back at Starlight Academy, Aoi meets Orihime and Johnny in the office to talk about the new information she gained from Raichi, Mizuki, and Mikuru.

Orihime: "So, Kanzaki Mizuki has formed an unit with this Natsuki Mikuru…"

Johnny: "And they called it WM, complete with their own Gundams…"

Aoi: "Yes. They even got the information about Seira's cultists supplementing their own Mobile Suits to DreAca's forces."

Johnny: "New Mobile Suits? No way!"

Aoi: "Mikuru happens to have a photo of it, and I've saved it in my phone. Here, take a look."

Aoi shows Orihime and Johnny the photo that Mikuru shared to her.

Orihime: "These are…"

Johnny: "I recognize these slim-looking Gundams. They look like Seraphim Gundam."

Aoi: "Those Seraphim Gundams are called Seiraph. Yeah, as if Seira was an angel, which is downright nuts if you ask me because they keeps promoting Seira as their God or something."

Johnny: "If these are based from Seraphim Gundam, then they must have access to GN Drives."

Aoi: "Hopefully their GN Drives are the fake ones like Sakura's, not the original ones like mine."

Orihime: "Yes. If they really have the original GN Drives, then our forces will have a really hard time dealing with them, with you being the only one who can match their strengths."

Johnny: "But we can't rely on Kiriya-honey too much. We need to power-up our other units, including the nearly-complete 5wingZ Gundam."

Aoi: "And train up Miyu-chan even further."

Johnny: "Ah, yes. So that you can unleash the true power of your Ao Futuris together."

Aoi: "And… regarding Ichigo…"

Orihime: "I know, she's getting way more unstable than before."

Aoi: "What should we do?"

Orihime: "I'm afraid we have to put Hoshimiya on quarantine before she tries to rebel against us."

Johnny: "And to restore her mind to its former, undefiled state, we definitely have no other option but to defeat Otoshiro once and for all."

Aoi: "I will do it, for the sake of everyone!"

Orihime: "I know you can, Kiriya. Keep believing in yourself, and your comrades. And also, comfort Hoshimiya and try to relieve her of her mind disturbance."

Aoi: "Most definitely."

After a few more talking, Aoi leaves Orihime's office and returns to the dorm to meet up with Ran and Miyu. They tries visiting Ichigo, but she won't open the door. Having no other choice, they decides to leave and continue Miyu's training sessions.

A few days later…

Orihime has decided to put Ichigo under quarantine in order to cleanse her mind of Seira's corruption. In the meantime, Miyu continues her training, and she seems to be having better progress on her synch-rate gain. And as a response to DreAca's new line of Mobile Suits, Starlight Academy has begun upgrading their Mobile Suits' weaponry just after the completion of 5wingZ Gundam.

In the hangar, Camilla is looking at her newly completed 5wingZ Gundam along with Hikari and Naoto.

Camilla: "Finally my Gundam is complete."

Hikari: "5wingZ Gundam, a Gundam made specifically to contradict very existence of 2wingS Gundam, and also to honor your namesake who piloted Zeta Gundam.

Naoto: "And thankfully we managed to convince Futuring Girl to supply a GN Drive for your Gundam, meaning that it should be able to match the power of DreAca's new Mobile Suits without too much trouble."

Camilla: "Not to mention the ability to utilize Seira's worst nightmare: Trans-Am System."

Hikari: "I should probably outfit our other main Mobile Suits with GN Drives."

Camilla: "Multiplying her nightmare many folds? *whistles* Please do."

Aoi and Miyu arrives at the hangar.

Aoi: "Hikari, Suzukawa-san, time for another testing on Miyu-chan's synch-rate."

Miyu: "My synch-rate should be relatively higher by now."

Naoto: "Okay, let's check it out."

Camilla: "Show me what you got, Miyu-chan."

AoIris docks with Futuring Star Booster to perform the synchronization test. After some testing, the results start appearing on Naoto's computer display.

Naoto: "55% synch-rate and 77.5% average rate? Nice, perhaps all those encouragements have finally started to kick in."

Aoi: "Miyu-chan, that was odayaka janai. We're only 2.5% away from reaching a significant performance increase."

Miyu: "Oh my, I can't wait to crank it up even more!"

Camilla: "Never forget, though, not to overwork yourself way too much."

Miyu: "But I also need to take example from Kanzaki-senpai. On her capabilities to break her own limits."

Aoi: "Each person is different, Miyu-chan. Some of them are extremely gifted, while some of them relied solely on pure training. Mizuki was both gifted and trained. Even with her supreme skills, she never stopped her training, even to the point where she overworked herself and put too much strain on her body. I did take several examples for her. Unlike Seira, who's just downright not making any sense whatsoever with how she managed to grow stronger for no reason."

The alarm goes off.

Aoi: "What the?! Did I accidentally call her off?!"

Naoto quickly checks on his spy drone, and finds out that Seira and Kii are leading 11 of the new Seiraphs to attack Galaxy Starlight.

Naoto: "Unfortunately, you're right. Otoshiro is now on the move with DreAca's new Mobile Suits."

Camilla: "Wow, what a crack-a-jack timing. You apparently just TRIGGERED her."

Aoi: "What, no! That was nothing but coincidence."

Naoto: "Anyway, we must prepare for launch."

Naoto then contacts Orihime.

Orihime: "Otoshiro and her new Mobile Suits are coming this way?"

Naoto: "Right. Ao Futuris and 5wingZ are on standby, waiting to launch."

Orihime: "Get Shibuki and Toudou ready, too. And, if possible, bring along PowaPowaPuririn for backup. We cannot take these new models lightly."

Naoto: "Roger that."

Naoto dismisses the call.

Orihime: "Galaxy Starlight will advance forward and provide fire support for our attacking force once they intercept the enemy forces!"

Johnny: "Let's go, yeah!"

Galaxy Starlight begins to move towards Seira's new forces. Meanwhile, Ran and Yurika are joining Aoi, Miyu, and Camilla in the hangar, standing by with their Gundams.

Ran: "Too bad they have to put all our upgrades on-hold. Luckily my second katana is ready."

Yurika: "And all I got is my existing beam cannons powered up. Seriously, I need to suck those idiots' blood for hindering our progress!"

Camilla: "But you better be careful because we're facing new models. We need to know their capabilities first."

Yurika: "You're right."

Naoto: "Preparations are set! Everyone, you ready?"

All: "Yes!"

Naoto: "Okay then, launch!"

Aoi: "Ao Futuris, Kiriya Aoi-!"

Miyu: "-and Nijiyama Miyu!"

Ran: "Ranflakes, Shibuki Ran-!

Yurika: "Dark Rift, Toudou Yurika-!"

Camilla: "5wingZ, Camilla Dinah-!"

All: "Heading out!"

All four Gundams are launched, while PowaPowaPuririn are in standby. Meanwhile, in her room, Ichigo notices the coming of Seira.

Ichigo: "Seira…? Is she coming…?"

Galaxy Starlight continues advancing forward, following the four leading Gundams. Eventually, they makes contact with the enemy forces and begins their battle.

Kii: "Time for some payback, Aoi!"

Kii and three Seiraphs fire their ranged weapons at Aoi, which gets dodged easily. Aoi fires back at them with Prism Spiral in rapid-fire mode, but they also dodges the shot and blocks some of them with their GN Field.

Aoi: "Their mobility is good, and they even have GN Field, despite using only GN Drive Tau."

Aoi continues dodging the shots coming at her.

Aoi: "But…!"

Aoi decides to rush straight towards one of the Seiraphs, and clashes melee weapon.

Aoi: "It appears that its melee capablity is below average!"

The slash from Prism Spiral easily overpowers the Seiraph's beam saber and slices the Mobile Suit in half.

Kii: "What?!"

Miyu: "Nice!"

Aoi then fires three more shots at Kii. She quickly flies upward to dodge the shots.

Kii: "Darn! Well, they may be lacking in melee combat. But, don't forget that they still possess that Face Burst mode!"

Aoi: "Face Burst? Don't tell me-!"

All of a sudden, she finds three Seiraphs engaging their Face Burst Mode, venting a large amount of GN particles. They are aiming their cannons at Aoi.

Aoi: "I knew it!"

The three Seiraphs fires their powered-up GN Cannons at Aoi a few times, assisted by Kii. Miyu increases the particle generation output of the Twin Drive in order to gain more speed and dodge these powerful shots.

Kii: "Look at that power! I bet you won't be able to dodge all of them for too long."

Seira: "Kii, watch out behind you!"

Kii: "?!"

Camilla with her 5wingZ Gundam rushes toward Kii from behind. Kii quickly flies downward and fires her key-shaped weapon on rifle mode. Camilla fires back several times, but she gets distracted enough for those three Seiraphs to begin charging another shot and aims at Camilla."

Miyu: "Dinah-senpai, watch out! They're aiming at you now!"

Camilla: "What? Oh crud!"

The three Seiraphs from before fires their powered GN Cannons at Camilla. She quickly transforms her 5wingZ Gundam into Waverider mode and flies away before the combined shots hit her.

Camilla: "What amazing firepower."

Aoi: "That must be because they were originally Seravee's backpack. Hopefully they don't have Trial System inside."

Right after Camilla dodges the shot, 2wingS Gundam heads straight towards her. 5wingZ Gundam transforms back into MS mode and begins fighting 2wingS Gundam. Camilla uses her reverse-grip Ether Fang energy blades to parry Seira's Angely Diviner slash.

Seira: "A new model based from Zeta?"

Camilla: "This is something that contradicts the very existence of your Gundam, divine one!"

Seira: "It's you, the heretic replica of me!"

Camilla: "Who else? After all, I am an Anti-Seira!"

Seira: "Do you really need to deceive my little sister like that?!"

Camilla: "Oh, you heard of that? You must be calling her long after I left."

Seira: "What you were doing is heresy! It is not my destiny to make peace with Starlight Academy as it is against God's will!"

Camilla: "Which means you would go as far as abandoning your sister's wishes?! What kind of will was that?! It doesn't make any sense whatsoever!"

Seira begins to overpower Camilla's attack, but then Yurika comes and fires her camouflaged beam rifles at her, followed by Ran firing her shoulder beam cannons. Seira dodges quickly.

Yurika: "To hell with your God's will, you murderer!"

Yurika immediately rushes forward with her beam claws ready. As Yurika approaches, Seira does a reversal move to get behind Yurika. She kicks Yurika out of the way.

Yurika: "Aahh!"

Ran: "Yurika!"

Aoi: "No way, she's much faster than before. Then…!"

Aoi quickly rushes toward Seira while firing both her Prism Spirals in rifle mode multiple times. Seira easily dodges all the shots and then clashes with Aoi.

Aoi: "That power output, that speed, how the hell did you get stronger?"

Seira: "Like I always told you before, if you're DO, I'm RE, and if you're RE, then I'm MI. I will always be more steps ahead of you."

Aoi: "Can't get enough with your nonsense, eh, divine one?"

Seira: "This is not nonsense, this is God's blessing! Now, hand over Ichigo to me before I have to take drastic measures against you."

Aoi: "Never! Ichigo belongs to us!"

Seira: "You dare to defy God's will?"

Aoi: "Let me tell you this once again, Seira. In this idol world, there is no God!"

Ao Futuris' Twin Drive begins outputting more power as Aoi starts pushing Seira back quite a bit. Seira also tries to push Aoi back, leading to stalemate.

Seira: "You can't possibly say that!

Aoi: "Yes, I can."

Seira: "If that was the case, then…!"

Seira arms her improved Saint's Rays and fires it right at Aoi. Miyu quickly uses the GN Field to block the shots with, but they get knocked back due to the sheer power of that improved weapon.

Miyu: "Ugh! Even her ranged weapons are stronger now. We should go Trans-Am to match her strength."

Aoi: "Not yet. I'd rather not rely too much on that. In addition, your idol energy might not be enough yet to endure the strain from your ability."

Miyu: "That's no good… Uh-oh, here she comes again!"

Seira rushes toward Aoi again, this time around followed by Kii. However, Camilla quickly intercepts Kii by tackling her away, leaving Seira to fight one-on-one against Aoi. Camilla then begins to fight Kii again.

Kii: "Knock it off, you phony!"

Camilla: "Oh, you've abandoned the use of Seira's name to call me? How nice."

Kii: "It's not nice! You're using Seira-chan's identity to deceive her sister, despite the fact that you're nothing but an Anti-Seira!"

Camilla: "Because I know what Noelle truly wanted from the start!"

Kii and Camilla then begins their beam rifle duel. In the other side, Ran and Yurika begins to struggle fighting the Seiraphs. They are even able to shrug off Galaxy Starlight's strong fire support with their GN Field. Combined with their powerful cannon, Ran and Yurika are having a hard time trying to close in and fight them in close range.

Yurika: "These cannon shots are relentless, I'm tired of dodging them!"

Ran: "Can't even close in! We need backup!"

Ran decides to contact Naoto.

Ran: "Suzukawa-san, we request immediate backup right about now."

Naoto: "Request acknowledged. PowaPowaPuririn are launching now."

Ran: "Nice."

The PowaPowaPuririn are then launched. As they're heading towards Ran and Yurika, they get bombarded by the Seiraphs, but the Galaxy Starlight tries to cover them by firing their own bombardment of beam cannons and missiles.

Otome: "Thank you, guys! Love You!"

Shion: "Don't get too distracted, Otome. Here they come!"

Some of the Seiraphs are coming towards PowaPowaPuririn, then begins firing their cannons. PowaPowaPuririn dodges them swiftly, followed by Sakura heading towards one of the Seiraphs. She does three quick slashes with her beam saber. The Seiraph is unable to block all three slashes and gets sliced in half in the third slash. Another Seiraph comes in and fires its cannon at Sakura, which gets dodged easily. Otome and Shion comes in to provide fire support, although their shots are blocked by the GN Field.

Yurika: "Nice distraction there."

Yurika comes in and fires her spreading blaster at the Seiraph that is blocking PowaPowaPuririn's attack. Since Yurika's spreading blaster uses physical ammunition, the shot breaks through the GN Field and slightly damages the Seiraph.

Yurika: "Ran, now!"

The Seiraph is left open for another attack, allowing Ran to close in fast and slice it apart.

Ran: "Finally got one."

Yurika: "There's still more, let's go!"

Ran: "Okay."

Meanwhile, Aoi and Camilla continues to battle Seira and Kii. Camilla starts slashing at Kii relentlessly, giving Kii a lot of trouble parrying Camilla's attacks. Kii finds an opening and dodges Camilla's next attack, then fires a shot. Camilla quickly dodges the shot. Not too far away from Camilla, Aoi and Seira continues clashing their melee weapons.

Aoi: "She really is getting stronger."

Seira: "Should I remind you one more time?"

Aoi: "No, just no."

Seira begins to push Aoi back.

Miyu: "Can't… hold on!"

Aoi: "Don't give up! Keep fighting back!"

However, no matter how hard Aoi and Miyu fights back, Seira keeps pushing them back.

Seira: "Give it up, Aoi, and let me gain Ichigo's trust."

Miyu: "I won't let you take Hoshimiya-senpai away from Kiriya-senpai!"

Once again, Miyu's synchronization rate shoots up to 100%.

Aoi: "Miyu-chan!?"

Miyu: "TRANS-AM!"

Along with that, Ao Futuris goes Trans-Am and begins to push back against Seira's attack.

Seira: "There it is. I must outlast her Trans-Am in order to carry out the plan perfectly. Well, here goes nothing!"

Seira goes into SEED mode and begins powering up her slash even further. The two knocks each other away before they starts exchanging beam rifle shots. Aoi constantly changes her Prism Spiral firing mode between rapid-fire and normal shot, making dodging tricky. Seira counters by firing both Angely Diviners, but Aoi dodges the shot and quickly fires both Prism Spirals on beam magnum mode. Seira once again fires both Angely Diviners, and that shot are barely able to cancel out the beam magnum shot from the Prism Spirals.

Aoi: "Even her buster rifles are now on par with my beam magnum on Trans-Am."

Seira uses her beam-spam again against Aoi, but it gets dodged. The beam-spam also goes toward PowaPowaPuririn and they manages to dodge it. Seira continues beam-spamming, but Aoi rushes forward while grazing the bullet hell that comes at her. Seira stops her beam-spam and flips backward as Aoi comes and does a horizontal slash at her. Seira retaliates by doing a downward diagonal slash, and it also gets dodged by Aoi, leaving afterimages as she dodges. Aoi fires her beam magnum again, prompting Seira to fire her buster rifle to cancel out Aoi's shot. They continues cancelling out each other's shots for a while.

As Aoi and Seira continues battling it out, Camilla begins overpowering Kii bit by bit on their CQC duel. Kii is still trying to fight back, but she's getting pushed back even more when Yurika approaching and providing fire support for Camilla.

Yurika: "Let Yurika-sama, the descendant of Dracula help you, my fellow vampire!"

Camilla: "Much appreciated. Let's have a dance of death with them."

Kii tries keeping some distance from Camilla by firing the gatling gun on her shield, but Camilla keeps rushing towards Kii while dodging the shots without too much trouble, with Yurika following behind Camilla, firing her spreading blaster at Kii.

Kii: "No, I can't keep up with them!"

Two Seiraphs comes to assist Kii, but Camilla switches to Waverider mode to try and outsmart the Seiraphs. Yurika rapidly fires her spreading blaster to distract Kii and the Seiraphs long enough so that Camilla can close in and destroy one Seiraph with a few swing of her Ether Fangs. After that, Camilla goes after Kii again while Yurika takes care of the other Seiraph.

Meanwhile, Seira is starting to get overpowered by Aoi in Trans-Am. She barely manages to keep up with Aoi's blazing-fast movement and quick attacks. Even beam-spamming doesn't do much for her.

Seira: "C'mon… C'mon… Just a little longer and the plan will go smoothly…!"

Aoi checks the time limit on her Trans-Am, and it's only 30 seconds remaining.

Aoi: "Only 30 seconds left, and she still isn't going down?"

Miyu: "This is no good, we must go full offensive."

Aoi: "That's what I've been doing."

Aoi rushes in and does multiple slashes with both Prism Spirals. All slashes gets dodged and Seira retaliates by firing her Smiter's Gatlings , which gets dodged to. Aoi backs off a little bit and fires all her ranged weapons. Seira then does several maneuvers to avoid all of those shots before firing both Angely Diviners at Aoi. The shots are blocked by Aoi using both Prism Spirals supported by GN Field. But, Trans-Am ends right after Aoi successfully blocked Seira's Angely Diviner shot.

Aoi: "No way… She lasted this long…!"

Miyu falls on her knees, exhausted due to the strain caused by going Trans-Am.

Aoi: "Miyu-chan! You okay?"

Miyu: (pants) "Yeah… at least I don't simply fall unconscious like before…"

Aoi: "But, this divine one... She managed to outlast our Trans-Am. This can't be."

Seira: "I hope I don't have to remind you one more time, Starlight Queen."

Aoi: "I said I don't need to be reminded by the likes of you."

Seira: (sigh) "Well, thanks to you, my plan now works."

All of a sudden, something pretty big appears right behind Ao Futuris. It is a variant of Raphael Gundam with its Seravee II backpack, known as Ralph Seiravee. The Gundam apparently remained on camouflage this whole time.

Aoi: "What the-!"

The grappling arm of Ralph Seiravee's backpack grabs both Ao Futuris' arms while the Ralph Seiravee itself uses its right arm to break into Futuring Star Booster's cockpit and seize Miyu from inside.

Miyu: "K-Kiriya-senpai! Help!"

Aoi: "Miyu-chan?! What is-!"

Aoi notices Miyu being seized by Ralph Seiravee.

Aoi: "No! Miyu-chan! Dammit, Seira, it must be the trap you set up!"

Seira: "Well, yes. And you fell for it easily. Now your Gundam can't operate at full power anymore with your apprentice now in our hands. Okay, let's back off now."

Aoi: "You're going nowhere! I'm taking Miyu-chan back!"

Seira and the Ralph Seiravee quickly retreats with Miyu as their hostage. Aoi tries to chase them down, but her Ao Futuris cannot generate enough energy to boost forward since Miyu isn't there to help synchronizing the Twin Drive. The two finally goes out of Aoi's reach. Aoi then stops when she realizes that chasing them down is futile.

Aoi: "Damn you, Seira…! I swear I will take Miyu-chan back, and then make you pay dearly for this!"

Kii and the other surviving Seiraphs are also retreating. Camilla and the others goes to Aoi.

Camilla: "Aoi, what happened? Where did Seira go?"

Aoi: "She led me into a trap and seized Miyu-chan."

Camilla: "What?! How is that possible?"

Aoi: "I don't know. She must have known our weakpoint, which is Miyu-chan's strain on her body after using Trans-Am. Now I can't chase them down because I can no longer operate my Gundam at full power until we rescue Miyu -chan."

Ran: "Damn that Seira. I hope she's not doing anything harsh to Miyu-chan."

Shion: "This is bad news indeed. And I doubt she's bringing Miyu-chan straight back to DreAca. Let us go back and think our strategy on how we can rescue her."

Aoi: (sigh) "Okay…"

Aoi and the others goes back to Galaxy Starlight.
