Chapter 12: Fall

It has already been a day since Venomwood. I haven't yet gone anywhere else in search of the other lost Minions and just stayed at the Tower looking at maps and letting my wounds heal. And besides, if I tried to leave I would just get whacked on the head by Rin again.

Right now I'm wearing a blue shirt with a brown vest over it and brown pants.

I was in the Private Quarters in the large empty room that Gnarl said used to be the treasury. I was meditating while resembling my Lightaxe with the Force(it has to be taken apart to be cleaned like a gun). As I thought, I reached out into the Force and felt something.

The images I could see, they were terrible, "No..." I said, "Rin!" then I lost focuse and my Lightaxe fell to the floor and I couldn't remember what I had just seen.

I shook my head and picked up the pieces of my Lightaxe.

Later I walked into the bedroom and saw that Rin still hadn't woken up even though it is 9:47(this is about the time they started using clocks instead of sundials).

She was sleeping peacefully with her head facing the wall.

I smiled and then gently tapped her left cheek with the back of my hand, "Hey, I think it's time to wake up." I said softly.

She stirred a bit, then sat up with a tired look in her eyes and some hair in her face.

"Good morning." I said.

"Morning." she yawned.

"Sleep well?"

"I guess." she rubbed her eyes.

I just smiled while wondering what that vision earlier was about.

Coruscant, Radio Tower

"We have to hurry!" Katooni said deflecting a few blaster bolts before closing the door.

"I'm almost done." Petro said connecting a few more wires, "Got it." he said standing up and taking out a holo-recorder.

"All Jedi who can hear my voice," he said, "do not return to the Temple. The distress signal sent out to call everyone back is fake. Everyone is dead. Anyone who is still alive should break contact with their Clone unit and go into hiding." then he stopped for a moment, "Please survive."

Then the door exploded open and Clones stormed in and began firing at the two Padawans. Katooni had no trouble deflecting the blasts, but Petro wasn't and got shot in the chest.

Katooni wasted no time killing the Clones and then running to Petro's side, "Are you okay?" she asked him pressing her hand to his wound.

"You know me, I'm always good." he said with a smirk before coughing a couple times.

Then Katooni's radio started beeping.

"I'm sorry Katooni," Ganodi said over the radio, "We won't be able to get there in time."

Over at the other end of the line Ganodi was driving a speeder very fast, Zatt was in the passenger seat clutching his arm which had been shot, and Gungi was standing on the back facing backwards and deflecting blasts shot from a Police Gunship chasing them.

"It's okay." Katooni said trying to smile, "We're done anyways. This was our last run."

"I guess so." Ganodi said, "May the Force be with you."

Then a blast from the Police Gunship hit Gungi right in the chest causing him to fall off with a cry of dismay.

Then three Clone Gunships appeared right in front of them and opened fire. The speeder immediately was blown apart in an explosion.

"Ganodi?" Katooni asked, but she knew what had happened when she received no answer.

"I guess this is it." she said.

"Katooni..." Petro said weakly.

"Don't try to speak." she said.

Then Petro grabbed her hand, "Since this is the end I won't ever have any chance to regret this." he said, then he suddenly moved closer to her and kissed her, "I love you Katooni."

"I love you too Petro." Katooni said crying.

Then Clones ran into the room and quickly opened fire killing them both.

Tower

I was in the bedroom alone. I sat on the couch. Then I decided to pick up my holopad and turned it on. The background screen on it was a picture with a red-haired, green-eyed boy standing to the left with his arms crossed and a smug grin on his face, to the right was me, also, clinging on my back was a girl with long pink hair and the same green eyes, she was holding onto my neck while laughing.

Then suddenly there was a beeping coming from it, a message then began to play, a hologram of a human boy appeared, "All Jedi who can hear my voice, do not return to the Temple. The distress signal sent out to call everyone back is fake. Everyone is dead. Anyone who is still alive should break contact with their Clone unit and go into hiding. Please survive." then the hologram showed Clones run in and shoot him, the recording ended there.

I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I knew the Temple was under attack, but the Jedi were strong, they could have defeated the Clones, right? But wait, what Fives claimed about the Chancellor, the attacks on the power plant during the peace conference, Darth Maul's sudden dissappearance while the Chancellor was away in an unknown place, the alleged attempt on Chancellor's life that made the attack legal, the entire war. Oh Force no...

I was rubbing my hand against my eyes and face trying absorb what I had just guessed from what I had pieced together.

My Master had always believed in the Republic, she deeply loved it, it was how she was able to fight all of those battles in the war, but now, she's dead and she died for a Republic that was all a lie.

My breathing was heavy, I stood up, but my vision had gone blurry, I tripped/fell over and landed with my knees on the floor and my arms on the end of the bed. I just couldn't think and began crying, it was the first time I cried since the death of one of my friends a year ago. I hadn't morned for my master because I knew she would never want it that way, I knew she has died with something to believe in, and at the time I was unable to think of something like that as I was trying to figure how to survive on this planet, but now, I cried for her, and I cried knowing everything we believed in was a lie. I didn't know what to think now.

Rin's P.O.V.

I walked up the stairs planning on getting something for lunch when I noticed that it was freezing up here, it was only early fall and it didn't get that cold around this time of year, I sensed a form of magic in the air, it felt like it was pushing everything away and it seems to be coming from Nova's and my room.

I ran into the bedroom as quickly as I could and saw Nova just lying there silently.

"Are you okay?" I asked him kneeling beside him (at his left side).

He turned his head around to face me and I could tell from the way his eyes were all red and swollen that he had been crying recently.

"No I'm not." he said trying to smile.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

He grabbed a device which he had once previously briefly described the function of and he activated a recording on it(I know what a recording is because he used it once to show me a picture of his teacher).

I watched the recording all of the way through and I was horrified. He had just found out that everyone he once knew, that he probably even hoped to returned to, was gone, I don't claim to know the feeling, but I know something that comes close.

I tried to think of something to say, but couldn't, so instead I just hugged him as he once did for me and I only hoped it was enough. It sadden me to see the one I love in this state.

After a minute he spoke, "I'll be fine, I just need a moment." he said.

"Okay." I said standing up and walking out of the room.

Evernight Forest

"Okay, you've gotten the reinforcements from Nordburg, what's your plan?" Towen asked.

Torrock laid out a map of Spree and the surrounding islands in the marsh. "That's what I brought you back for." he said.

"I guess you would rather have left me dead." then Towen began observing the map.

Torrock stepped outside, it was early afternoon, but like that makes much of a difference in Evernight, though the forest has been healing, it is slow and light has only fully restored to inhabited areas, not for long if the Dark Elves have their way.

Then suddenly a large explosion appeared at the edge of the camp.

Over in the forest Akomar pulled his sword off of his back, "Those thermal detonator things are really effective." he said.

They were on a hill(but the entire hill was still covered in trees).

"You ready HK?" Akomar asked.

"Conformation: Of course master. I am always ready to kill meatbags for you." HK-47 said aiming his rifle amd firing killing a Dark Elf and causing the others to panic.

"My turn." then Akomar leaped through the air, landed on a high up root(one of those normal unusual roots in Evernight) near the edge of the trees, then jumped down and slammed his sword on the ground as soon as he landed.

The impact caused four Dark Elves to fly up into the air. Time seemed to slow down for Akomar, there were two in the air in front of him to his right and two in the left. He swung his sword at the two on the right cutting them just below the ribs, his sword cut straight through them(didn't cut them in half). Next he turned to the ones on his left, he slashed the right left one from the left shoulder to the right hip, then he jabbed his sword forwards into the throat of the left left one and pulled it out fast.

He then jumped back and as soon as he got into a fighting position, black blood shot from all four Dark Elves he had attacked.

"Everyone stand back!" a voice boomed.

All Dark Elves moved back away from Akomar, except for one.

"It's been a while Ukamaru." Torrock said.

"It's only been a month or two general." Akomar said not breaking his stance.

"You're really determined to do this the hard way? Come on, why not join up with us again?"

"Because I don't work with ghouls like you and your brother."

Then a blaster bolt flew out of the treeline and nearly hit Torrock in the head, but Torrock just tilted his head and let the blast pass by him as he flung a ball of black fire into the trees in the directions the blast had come from blasting apart that whole area. A few seconds later three blasts shot from the trees and took down four Dark Elves.

Then Akomar swung his sword to the left in the air sending a wave of unstable red energy at twelve Dark Elves that had so helpfully gathered in a line. But then Torrock suddenly appeared in front of it and the caught it in his hand and then crushed it causing it to shatter like glass.

Then Torrock pulled a large doublebladed axe made of Netherworld Steel off of his side and stabbed the side of it into the ground while still holding it.

Akomar leapt foward and swung his currently energy covered sword at Torrock. Torrock leaned backwards to avoid the strike, then raised his axe above his head and attempted to bring it down on Akomar, but Akomar was fast enough to jump backwards and dodge the attack.

Akomar then began rapidly swinging his sword at Torrock, but Torrock blocked all of the attacks with the handle pole part of the axe. Then Torrock swung his axe at Akomar and hit him on the right side of his head with the side. Akomar fell on his right side. He could taste blood in his mouth. He used his left hand to push himself onto his back, then he used the muscles in his back to lanch himself back up onto him feet.

Akomar knew he was outmatched, "I guess this is my only move left." he said, then he took his sword and cut into the palm of his hand.

He licked the blood off of his hand and then a great pain appeared in every part of his body. His teeth began to form into fangs, two lumps formed behind his shoulders where something was about to tear out, his mouth began to grow longer as if turning into a snout, and scales began forming on his skin.

A horrified look appeared on Torrock's face, "Don't let him finish transforming!" he yelled, "Priests create a barrier! Now! Use all of your magic!"

The Priests all formed a circle around Akomar and began chanting. Then a purple lightning bolt shot from each of their hands and hit Akomar who let out a beast-like roar. Then a giant forcefield of purple energy formed around Akomar. In the air inside the shield you could see multiple large tendrils of energy flowing out of Akomar into the shield.

The head Priest, who had a golden M shaped crown on her forhead, large golden bracelets that covered most of her lower arms, and a golden necklace with more jewels than you can count walked up to Torrock, "The spell will drain his own power to strengthen itself until he has no energy left, but it will require the Priests to continue holding the shield up until he is completely drained of his life force." she looked back at Akomar who had frozen in an agonized pose, "And judging from the amount of energy this creature has, I would say it would take two days to complete."

Torrock nodded and then walked away.

"Why didn't you finish him off?" Towen asked.

"Because even if had attacked him with our blades his transformation would only accelerate." he said, "And what he would have turned into would be to strong for even all of us to defeat. In his time working for us I saw the destructive force of his power level entire Netherworld cities back when we were still fighting the other demon lords."

"You mean to say he is a dra..."

"Yes." Torrock answered.

Nordhaven

The rebels at Nordhaven were making what might be their last stand against the Dark Elves. There were only 43 out of 78 remaining.

Behind them was one of the endlessly burning tar pits and in front of them was an army of Dark Elves firing at them from the treeline (there is a few yards between the treeline and the spot where the rebels are at), all the rebels had for cover were some radom logs.

"We're running out of bullets." the commander said reloading his rifle.

"Where are our reinforcements from Nordburg?" a soldier asked while firing at the Dark Elves.

A distance away on the lake gunfire was flying between seven ships(no canonfire though), two were a common style of sailship(the kind the Overlad got in Nordhaven) and the five were Elvish ships with black paint and were made from cursed wood.

The crew of the first ship wore think dark brown cloaks and plates of armor on their chests. All of them had golden colored hair.

Then one female officer, who had knightlike metal gloves and boots as well as the same armor as the rest, and yellow hair tied into a braid on the back and violet eyes, yelled out, "We must hold them off until Sir James can arrive with the reinforcements!"

"But Lady Emily," said the one at the wheel, "We have already lost one-third of our forces where the enemy has only lost one-tenth."

"It doesn't matter!" Emily said, "As long as we can last till Sir James gets here then we will have a victory here and we can move to help the people of Nordburg retake their town." then she picked up a sheathed sword and attached it to her belt.

Then suddenly the base of the watchtower made from Netherworld Rock that had been placed at the entance to the village, exploded and caused the tower to fall into the lake on top of two of the Dark Elf ships.

Then about sixty Nordburgians came charging out of the forest led by Sir James who rode on a brown horse.

"We're saved!" said the rebel commander as he and his men jumped up and began charging at the Dark Elves while firing.

"Alright!" Emily cheered running to the bow of the ship and the jumping off and landing on the main deck of a Dark Elf ship.

She pulled the sword out of its sheath. The sword had a golden hilt, in the bottom of it was a purple jewel and there were also purple jewels on each side of the hilt guard, the sword's blade shined a bright violet color.

She swung her sword at a Dark Elf standing on the left side of the deck and her sword cut into his left shoulder. She pulled her sword out of him, then kicked him overboard while doing a backflip. She then turned to her right very fast while swinging her sword in that direction and cut open the stomach of a Dark Elf standing at the bow. She then whipped around and attempted to stab the one guarding the captain, but he manage to deflect her blade with his sword.

Emily jumped backwards and then began twirling her sword in the air beside her and then one of the jewels in the hilt guard lit up and suddenly her blade had purple wind spinning around it. She swung her sword and the wind flew from the blade and over onto the Dark Elf forming a miniature purple cyclone around him and causing him to go spinning off the back of the ship.

Then ten Dark Elves jumped out of the inside of the ship and surrounded her. Emily grinned as both of the jewels on the hilt guard lit up. She then began spinning around faster and faster until a slightly larger purple twister appeared around her and sent all of the Dark Elves flying. Once she stopped spinning she pulled a small metal ball with red paint off of her belt and twisted a knob on it and then threw it down into the hatch before jumping off.

A few seconds later the whole ship exploded. While she was still in the air, Emily raised her sword above her head as all three jewels lit up and flung the wind at the water between the last two Dark Elf ship and created a giant tornado that lifted both ships into the air spinning them around until they smashed into each other. Emily then landed safely on the deck of the other one of her ships and sheathed her sword.

The crews of the ships began cheering at the same time the rebels gunned down the last of the Dark Elves in the village.

"Looks like we missed the party." said the captain of another one of Emily's ships that was just pulling into the area.

Then a large shadow appeared over the ship. The captain turned around and saw what was casting it. A massive full sized galleon with black paint and it was heading straight for them. Some of the crew jumped off of the ship into the freezing water that they would die in while the rest were frozen with fear on the deck.

The galleon just sped right through them crushing the ship like a toothpick. If the sound of the fully canon armed galleon smashing the ship didn't get the rebels attention, then it was the three Netherworld Rock Giants smashing out of the forest stepping on some people and knocking away some others.

Mellow Hills

The day of the wedding had finally arrived, personally I thought it never would, but today I was getting married.

They were still setting everything up in front of the tavern.

I was in a room with Gnarl as I tried to put on this ridiculously tight tuxedo.

"Seriously, it was easier to survive that fight with General Grievous." I said struggling with the bow tie.

"Here, let me help." Gnarl said.

The Minion Master quickly fixed Nova's tie, "You seem to be sweating."

"I am?"

"Yes. Are you nervous?"

"Like a Wookie in a barber shop."

Gnarl looked confused.

"Never mind." I said, then I looked out the window, "It's just that, when I first met Rin, she was just some girl I saved, then the next time I saw her she was acting a but crazy, but that was probably just from the rush of things, but after spending this last week with her I..."

Gnarl placed his hand on my arm, he would have placed it on my shoulder, but he is to short, "It is okay, it almost always works out, I should know, I have lived a few hundred years and seen many things."

"Thanks, do you have any more knowledge for me advisor?"

"Yes." Gnarl said, "I am proud of you."


I stood at the makeshift alter looking out at the gathered villagers.

Then a moment later music began to play, Rin then appeared and began walking through the path between the villager's seats with her adoptive father walking right there next to her. She had on a plain white dress with a purple flower at the top right corner of her shirt holding it together. Her blonde hair was styled a little differently, it was smoothed out and trimmed to where it is just above the shoulders and was shorter in the back corners, and more so on the very back. Her light brown eyes shone beautifully.

The people around simply watched her walk with expressionless faces. But when I looked at her I thought nothing could be more beautiful than her, at that very moment I realized she was everything in the Galaxy to me.

I had never thought that I would feel something like this again, I never thought I would find another person who I love, yes I said/thought it, I love her. Sure, back when I was in the Jedi Order all of the young girls had a crush on me and such, but I never payed any mind to them, but Rin...

Rin walked up to the alter and stood across from me. She looked at me and smiled, slightly nervously.

Archie walked up and stood next to us while holding a black book with a title written in gold, though I cannot read what it says on the cover.

"Dearly beloved," Archie began, "we are gathered here today to join these tw..."

He was suddenly cut off by the loud sound of an explosion. I was thrown to the ground by the explosion, my ears were ringing, and dirt was flying everywhere.

A few moments later I forced myself up. I looked to the West side of the wall, which had been more recently updated to stone, was blasted apart. Standing where the wall had been was a creature about one and a half times the size of a fully grown man, he had pale skin and pointed ears, his hair was a very dark brown with some more grey colored hairs, and his eyes glowed purple. He had black chainmail armor with a large black shiny metal chestplate, the metal on it had a human skull with horns designed into the middle of it. His upper arms had no armor, but on his right hand he had a black bracelet like armor and on his left lower arm was a spiked gauntlet.

There were long smooth, curved spikes on each of his shoulders, in his right hand was a giant doublebladed axe.

Then several more Elf-like creatures began charging in, immediately as the reached the villagers on the ground they raised their swords to stab them.

I quickly threw a Force Push from my left hand and knocked them to the ground.

Then one started running towards me.

"Nova catch!" Gnarl shouted throwing my Lightaxe to me. I caught it and then swung it at the pale creature while activating it. Then turned and saw one jabbing it's sword at me. I was still turning and couldn't dodge or block, so instead I casted my shield spell.

The creature's blade shattered as it struck. I then cut that one down.

I then saw one thrusting his blade at Rin. But she suddenly hit the creature in the wrist sending the shiny black sword up into the air, then she caught it in her right hand and swung it and cut into the plae creature's shoulder.

She then immediately whipped around and stabbed another one who was trying to attack her from behind. Then one tried to attack her from her left side, but she spun around and slashed him across the chest.

"Whoa." I said amazed. If I wasn't already in love with her I would have fallen for her right then and there.

Then I noticed a shadow rise over me from behind. I quickly dodged to the left to avoid being chopped in half by a giant axe.

He swung at me again, but I blocked it. It quickly became a battle of power as we both tried to push the other's weapon away.

"So I'm guessing you're the Overlord." he said.

"Yeah, who's asking?" I answered/asked.

Then he jumped backwards, "Torrock, general of the Dark Elves." Then he ran at me and swung his axe down at me, but I dodged to the right and then swung at his chest. It only barely scratched his armor though.

"Well I'm Nova Stargunner!" I said jumping at him again and swung at the less armored back of the left knee causing him to fall down onto it. Then I slashed across the back of his right shoulder, then I spun around to his right side and swung down at his right and and completely sliced the lower half of it off. I then used a Force Push to blast him into a wall.

I couldn't tell if he was dead or just unconscious, but at the moment I did not care. Then a tall beast that looked to be made from black rock and had purple fiery eyes came stomping in.

I ran at it and jumped up intended to strike its head, but instead it batted me away and sent me flying into a house a short distance behind it.

I shook off the pain and leaped at its back, I slashed it twice on the back, then I dropped down and slashed across its ankle. But none of the attacks had any effect.

The Rock Giant growled annoyed by the insect buzzing around it. It quickly reached down with its right hand and grabbed me before I could blink.

It lifted me up to eye level, then began to squeeze me attempting to crush the life out of me. It opened its mouth and let out a gravelly roar. When its mouth opened I could see a purple crystal in the back of its throat.

I Force Repulsed to break free from its gripped and then threw my arm into its mouth with my inactivated Lightaxe in my hand. Then it suddenly closed its mouth on my arm, specifically the part of the lower arm right next to the elbow, it didn't have teeth, but its stone lips were hard enough to nearly crush my arm. I activated my Lightaxe and destroyed the crystal.

The Rock Giant's eyes then stopped glowing and it began to crumble. I landed on feet. The arm that the Rock Giant bit was broken and I couldn't hold my Lightaxe.

"Karabast!" I said clutching my injured arm.

"Nova!" Rin said running up to me, she looked at my injured arm, "We need to get you patched up."

Then a Dark Elf appeared to her right (just to help you visualize, her right would be in the direction of the inn) and was about to stab her, but then an arrow flew into its head from the left side of its head.

"You two need to get out of here." Rin's father said shooting another arrow from his crossbow at a Dark Elf.

"What about you?" Rin asked.

"I'll be fine, now go!"

Rin looked as if she were about to cry, "Okay." she said taking my left arm and putting it over her shoulders.

This was all to familiar to me.

We moved as quickly as we could to the Tower Gate.

"Tower." I said to activate it.

Just before it teleported us we could see the front half of the Happy Mule Inn fall apart.

Tower

Seconds after we returned to the Tower I stumbled and fell to the floor, "Damn it!" I said punching the marble walkway.

Then suddenly Giblet came running in with a box in his arm, "Master, you must lea..." he was quickly cut off by a bullet flying through his back.

I looked up and saw that the upper floor had was filled with Dark Elf gunmen.

"Hello there Nova." a voice said.

In the center of the enemy soldiers was a Dark Elf with short, neatly styled, silver hair. He had a rather handsome face(simply a description) with a scar going across it from the right side of his forehead, over his right eye, across his nose, and ending at his lip.

He wore the armor one would expect a medieval knight to wear, it was painted black, but it was very shiny, smooth, and bulky looking.

"Who... are you?" I asked, the pain in my arm caused a momentary pause. I was still holding onto Rin's shoulder.

"I am King Terreck, Lord of the Netherworld and soon this one." he said raising up his arms dramatically.

Then Gnarl walked up next to Terreck wearing very fine looking black robes, there was a purple mist floating around his eyes.

"Gnarl!" I said surprised.

"Any last words great and mighty Overlord?" Terreck asked as the gunmen took aim.

"Not to you."

Terreck looked a bit disappointed, "Very well then. Prepare to fire."

I looked around I couldn't see any way out. I could use the Shield spell, but then Rin...

"Rin." I said looking at her, "I love you." then I pulled her over to me and kissed her.

She very quickly returned the kiss.

Then once we stopped I pushed her away and threw my Shield spell over at her just as the Dark Elves fired.


The bullets fired at Rin simply bounced off the Shield, but the ones fired at Nova hit him directly.

He first fell to his knees, then to the floor.

"Nova!" Rin shouted running over to him as soon as the Shield dissapeared.

She knelt down to the left of him and raised his back up with her right arm and put her left hand on his face.

"Nova please, I can't lose you too." she said.

He didn't respond as the color quickly began to fade from his skin.

"No. No. No!" she cried.

"Kill the girl." Terreck ordered.

Gnarl nodded, them several purple eyed Browns came running in from the spawning pit.

Rin was more scared than she had ever been before, she quickly began looking around the room for something to defend herself with, and she soon found it.

She grabbed the box that Giblet had been holding, "Help me just this once father." she said opening it to reveal an armored gauntlet with a crystal in it.

She quickly put it on, though not without a moment's hesitation, and suddenly a strong wind filled with black and red clouds swirled around her for a moment.

When they dissappeared Rin was wearing armor that greatly resembled the Durium armor, except smaller. The torso part only covered her chest and her lower half of the torso and belly was covered with a black chainmail that showed off her curves. There was armor covering her waist and lower, but her upper legs had chainmail, though her lower legs and knees had armor connected to her boots. Her right arm was fully armored, but her left arm only had chainmail and the gauntlet. She also wore a bright green cape-like cloth and her eyes had begun to glow blue and her hair had turned orange.

Rin swung a green colored flaming Durium sword at the Browns and cut into them and set them on fire.

She put on the Durium helmet, "I am Rin Korrotoe, daughter of the Overlord!" she declared throwing a green Fireball at a Dark Elf gunman burning him to ash in seconds.

"Kill her now!" Terreck yelled.

All of the gunmen opened fire, but none of the bullets hit her as green lightning appeared around her catching each of the bullets in the air, then sending them straight back at the shooter.

Terreck growled as the last of his gunmen fell. He then drew his sword and jumped down in front of Rin and tried to attack Rin with a downwards, left diagonal strike, but she blocked it by raising her sword up in the way.

In the sky next to the Tower, the Centurion Hawk appeared and as it got close to the Tower the hatch opened up. Standing there to the left was Lady Elise Titania who was still wearing her damaged, bloodstained armor, and to the right was a girl with redish pink hair and a ponytail in the back. She had hazel colored eyes and she was wearing a white spacesuit with a white flag with a red dot in the center imprinted on her right sleeve.

"There, the one one ground is Nova!" the pink-haired girl shouted to be heard over the sound of the ship's engine.

Rin could tell she wasn't going to win this fight, so she used a temporary Confusion spell on Terreck and ran over to Nova and picked him up in her arms.

It was then that she saw a black floating disk shaped thing fly up next to the Tower.

"Get in!" the Fairy said.

"How do I know I can trust you?" Rin asked.

Then she realized her Mana bar had been depleted and Terreck would be able to shake off the spell soon.

'I guess I don't have much of a choice.' she thought running to the edge and jumping over to the Centurion Hawk. They immediately after closed the hatch.

Terreck ran over to the edge and roared in wrath.

They ran into a room near the center and put Nova on the table where Yuka had previously been.

"He's badly injured." Yuka said, "Looks like multiple bullet wounds."

Elise put her hand to Nova's head, "It seems like he has put himself into some form of Healing Trance." Elise said, "But it might not be enough, I will have to help heal him."

"No Titania," Ichiro said worried, "You're strength still hasn't been fully recovered."

"If this boy dies, then the whole world will be destroyed. That's why my life doesn't matter."

"But Titania, your life matters to..." Ichiro was suddenly shoved away by Kaito who was holding a medical kit.

Later they had been to work, slowly, on healing Nova. Kaito helped to remove the bullets as Elise did her best to close the wounds with her magic, before Kaito then puts a bacta patch on his wounds.

Rin had deactivated her gauntlet early which made the armor disappear, but she was still wearing it and her hair was still orange.

She sat next to to the game table.

Yuka sat down next to Rin and placed her hand on her shoulder and said something.
