As the group sails towards Temperantia Rex only has one thing on his mind: Why? Why would Jin want to cause so much chaos and death? Who would ever want to see the world suffer like this? As Rex looks out onto the cloud sea Nia notices the distraught look on his face and decides to ask what he's thinking about.

"You look a bit preturbed. What's wrong?"

"I just don't understand why Jin would want to do this. He knows he'll hurt so many people and yet he feels no remorse for the lives he takes. It's sickening."

Nia is aware of why Jin is like this. Because he wants revenge on all humans for what they did. But Nia doesn't know if to tell Rex this or not. She decides to keep it to herself.

"Well knowing you you'll probably find some way to turn him."

"What makes you say that?"

"You always have a way to make even the bleakest of situations become a positive. You never let things way you down and always look towards the future."

"That's just the way I am."

"Exactly. And thats why I know you'll find a solution to this little conflict."

"Thanks Nia, I really needed that."

"Don't mention it."

Not long after the group makes it to Temperantia. The first thing they do is immediately head up one of the cliffs to see what is going on down below. As the group slowly makes there way up they see the many corpse of Urayan soliders down below.

"This is terrible."

"Oh no."

"It would appear that we are to late."

Everyone then notices the large Judicium weapon slowly making its way across the land towards the Urayans.

"We need to stop that thing now."

"But how do we get there?"

Rex then eyes a jut in the cliff.

"We jump off of there onto the titan's back."

"Allow me to help. My power can be used to not only supress blades but also titans."

"Thank goodness you came along with us Fan."

"I'm glad to be of assistance."

Everyone then runs towards the jut in the cliff while avoiding all of the falling projectiles that were more than likely shot out by the Judicium weapon. On the way there Morag explains that they must be very careful or else they could blow up the entire premises. Mythra decides to be more accurate instead of blunt. Once they got to the jut; Fan La Norne casts a restriction incantation on the titan and everyone jumps aboard the titan. Once on the titan a defense mechanism activates and a large sentry pops out.

"Are you bloody kidding me right now! You Ardainians sure do love your defenses I'll give you that much."

"Fight now, Bitch later shellhead."

"No need for such language to address the Zekenator."

With that the group engages the large sentry and eventually cut its wires to deactivate not only the sentry but the entire titan.

"We did it! We stopped the titan!"

"Looks like we sure did."

Suddenly a metal door contracts open at the top of the titan and Jin jumps out of it.

"I didn't think you'd actually beat this thing if I'm going to be completely honest."

"Jin! I knew you were behind this!"

"I'm sorry. I should've made it less obvious I suppose."

"Why Jin? Why did you side with Malos?"

"Did you know him Mythra?"

"Yes I did. He was known as Torna's strongest blade. He was on our side and he helped us beat Malos the first time around."

"He was a good guy?! And he was a blade?!"

"He was. He was one of the most kind, caring, and most of all peaceful people I knew who always tried to find another way. So that's why I don't understand why you stand by his side! What changed you Jin?!"

"What if I were to say it's your fault."

"How so?"

"After you left, the world fell into despair and I watched as all of those I held dear fell around me. It was all in search of you. I am done talking to you, I shall reveal my power to you and you shall see true suffering."

After that Jin begins to slowly remove his mask. As he does so he reveals his red core crystal. Everyone is shocked by the color of his core crystal except Nia who looks saddened. Rex notices this but decides not to ask.

"That core crystal... it's like the color of... blood."

"Why is your core crystal red?"

"It is the mark of true suffering, now come at me boy."

With that the group engages Jin in a fight. Due to Fan La Norne being there Jin was severely weakened by her suppression ability. The group begins to have the upper hand on Jin and he's aware of this so before he retreats from the battle he goes right after Fan and stabs her in the chest.

"Go, be free."

As Jin leaves Fan to die he has a PTSD flashback to Lora then quickly retreats. Rex is left heartbroken by yet another friend dieing on his hands.

"Jin! How could you do this?! Why do you continue to kill and kill?! Answer me!"

Tears are falling down Rex's face as he holds Fan's body in his hands.

"As revenge for what you humans have done to us for so many centuries."

Jin then runs away but before Rex and co can chase after him the defense mechanism in the titan reactivates.

"I thought we destroyed it's power supply already."

"It has an emergency defense protocol that runs independently of the main power source."

"Those bloody Judiciums sure did know how to build a weapon am I right?"

"Actually that was our technology not theres."

"Whatever lets just take this thing down already."

Everyone engages the sentry and destroys it. But by that point Jin is already long gone. Suddenly the group sees a fleet of Urayan titans sailing directly towards them from the right and a fleet of Ardainian titans sailing directly towards them form the left.

"So I guess this is the beginning of a war isn't it?"

"Damn this isn't good."

"Meh-Meh? What do we do?"

"I guess a new conflict is about to break out."

"Is this the beginning of the end?"

As the two fleets come closer and closer together the oncoming war feels inevitable. That is until the Indoline titan descends from the skys to save them all.

"Indol?!"
