"Oh god! It CAN'T be!" gasped Dr. Aoi from inside the control room. "The Nova's...TRANSFORMING!"

"Dr. Aoi, we've just identified the form: it's the same from that the Type-Q used during the 2nd Nova Clash! Which means..."

"...It's going to self-destruct!" gasped Dr. Aoi. "Gentlemen! Evacuate the command center! Head for the shelter! NOW! I'll stay behind to take care of what's left!"

"ATTENTION! ALL PERSONNEL! THIS IS DR. AOI GINGER SPEAKING! RETREAT TO THE SHELTERS IMMEDIATELY! AT THE LOWER CENTER OF THE LABORATORY! I REPEAT! RETREAT TO THE SHELTERS IMMEDIATELY! AT THE LOWER CENTER OF THE LABORATORY! ALL ACCESS TO THE UNDERGROUND SHELTERS HAVE OPENED! RETREAT TO THE SHELTERS IMMEDIATELY! AT THE LOWER CENTER OF THE LABORATORY!"

"Grandma...?!" Kazuha widened her eyes at the sound of her grandmother's voice on the speaker.

*CRACKLE* *CRACKLE* *CRACKLE* *CRACKLE* *CRACKLE*

*SHINE*

All of a sudden, a bright light began emitting from the aerial sphere.

"Shit! You heard her! We gotta get the fuck outta here!" yelled Rocky.

Kazuha made a run with the run with the American Pandora, but then turned back to see Satellite still looking up at Clifford.

"CLIFFORD! CLIFFORD! WE GOTTA GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!" the Pandora punk screamed.

"Lite-senpai! LITE-SENPAI! COME ON!" Kazuha rushed back to her partner. "WE GOTTA GO!"

"NO! I CAN'T LET CLIFFORD DIE!" Satellite screamed back. "CLIFFORD! THAT THING'S GONNA FUCKING—"

*ZOOM*

Suddenly, the Unparalleled Monster (with his back turned and back in his human form) appeared right in front of Satellite, as well as the remaining Pandora and Limiter personnel in the area.

Satellite was confused by this...until he looked up and saw Clifford's Nova Form still in the air and facing the glowing sphere. "Is this...Illusion Turn!"

"...I sorry, everyone..." whispered the illusion. "...I'm sorry I couldn't help Anthony quell his pain. In his eyes, we have betrayed his friends, left them to die...and he wants us to be punished for it...but I will NOT...let MY friends die! I know it looks like...I'm being selfish. Could I be...becoming human? Like Anthony, I am bound to my friends in ways you couldn't imagine; Elliot: He has always been so strong, but he's the most compassion person I know...and he's suffered so much for this; Satellite-san: Even though you're a violent punk known as the "Untouchable King", deep down...you're kind and gentle; Rocky: You've always seemed so light-minded, but you've proven to be valuable leader; and Tommy: He's...He's probably the most important person in my life, as he always believed in me as a human, and allowed to live as one."

"...'to live as one'?" whispered Satellite. "Wait, are you saying you're—"

"Satellite L. Bridget..." With a smile on his face, Clifford turned back to look at him, revealing his non-human eyes. "You and your friends have a long time ahead of you...don't waste it...goodbye..." And with one final wave goodbye...
