Sometime later, the Tenebris Root, along with 3/4ths of the Ascension fleet that went with it to assault the Confederation fleet will be flying towards Mainland. In the distance around this fleet, the battle between the rest of the Confederation fleet and the RF fleet will be currently locked in combat in front of Mainland and around the top part of it, to which the entire Ascension fleet will ignore the RF fleet entirely and skirt the bottom-left side of Mainland. As they go, the Tenebris Root will be seen to be the closest to Mainland, to which inside of one of its many hangers, both the crippled Tyranny ErotiCake and the nearly destroyed Liberty ErotiCake will be revealed. They will be dragged along the floor by both Divides that Howard and Susan are still piloting, to which the Tyranny ErotiCake is thrown to the waiting arms of three RF Divides that are waiting in the hanger. Now, Commander Idris, Faith and Grace will be revealed to be waiting inside of these three other RF D2 Divides, to which as they are thrown the crippled Tyranny ErotiCake, Susan speaks to Commander Idris over her comms.
Susan Pinnacle
...Commander Idris? Make sure you hold down that ErotiCake firmly, as the Two Queens are almost here.
Commander Idris Requiem
Yes, Susan...
Commander Idris says this, as Susan then moves her Divide closer to Howards. Back with Commander Idris, he is then seen to have his Divide stand in front of the two Divides behind him, as both Faith and Grace will now be shown to be visibly scared to even look at Susan or Howard. Just having them in the same hanger with them will frighten them, to which Commander Idris will then speak to them in order to calm them down.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Faith? Grace? Can you two hear me?
Faith Nadir
...
Grace Nadir
...
Both girls are silent, to which Commander Idris speaks to them.
Commander Idris Requiem
Don't worry about either Howard or Susan right now. They are going to concentrate all of their attention on these pilots-not you two.
Faith Nadir
...Yes...
Grace Nadir
But still...
Faith says, while Grace speaks in a worried tone. Commander Idris then finishes by saying to Grace-
Commander Idris Requiem
Believe me...I'll make sure that they don't do anything to harm you. Just keep your comms connected to my Divide and help me keep the Tyranny ErotiCake pinned down with me, alright...?
Faith Nadir
...
Grace Nadir
...Alright...
Now, both Faith and Grace listen closely to Commander Idris's voice by doing as he says. Their bond is growing stronger, to which as both Faith and Grace move their Divides, they will then concentrate solely on doing as they were instructed. They will now have their Divides hold down the now crippled Tyranny ErotiCake by pulling it up onto its knees and then reaching out to grab both of it's arms. Commander Idris will then move his Divide to then move it's Buster Sword towards the cockpit in it's neck, to which as this happens, Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya are seen within.
Perle Luisant
Ngh...
Sabrina Madison
Is that person...going to actually-
Divitiya will now speak to Sabrina.
Divitiya Iran
Don't worry, Sabrina. They are after me, not any of you...!
Sabrina Madison
..."Gasp!"
Perle Luisant
Wait! NO!
Perle screams, as ahead of her, the Liberty ErotiCake is now reveled. Now, just ahead of Sabrina and Perle, the Divide that Howard is piloting will now throw down the nearly destroyed Liberty ErotiCake onto the floor. Aside from it's Liberty Blaster and right arm, the Liberty ErotiCake will now lay on it's left side in ruins. It's left arm, legs, body and even face will be nearly completely destroyed, to which the cockpit will also now be exposed, reveling Bijou and her battered friends.
"CRASH!"
Bijou Luisant
Guh! When did...Howard become so strong...?!
Now, Noah will weakly speak to his wife.
Noah Maverick
It's not that he's strong...it's that we are using a Superior Weapon that's 18 years-out dated in comparison...
Isaac Carter
If we had a Divide, then I'm sure we'd crush him and Susan...!
"CRUNCH!"
Chole Madison
GUAH!
Everyone
!
Now, Howard will slam his Divide's sword to the left side of the Liberty ErotiCake's cockpit. He then speaks to the five of them via his intercoms.
Howard Pinnacle (intercoms)
...It's quite impressive that you four are still using such a relic from the DIC. While you gave us a lot of trouble, the Liberty ErotiCake has finally met it's match, it seems.
Howard says, as his Divide stands proudly above the Liberty ErotiCake. Chole then speaks.
Chole Madison
"Grr"...acting so full of himself...
Howard then continues, as he notices something behind him from above.
Howard Pinnacle
Now then...how about we start with you three in that ErotiCake over there. Look up there!
Now, Howard has his Divide point to the area of interest above him from behind. Susan is also standing close by in her Divide, to which the scene then moves back to Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya in the Tyranny ErotiCake. They look to where Howard is having his Divide pointing, to which they see-
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
...!
Now, standing above them all from a small catwalk, two individuals are seen looking down on the Superior Weapons below them. They are Queen Azalea and Queen Media, to which they speak using a comms device that both of them have right now, while a small entourage of E-AndroIs accompanies them. They silently watch, as Queen Azalea speaks.
Queen Azalea Ascension
...Very good work out there, Howard. I and my sister are very impressed that you managed to best the Liberty ErotiCake by yourself.
Queen Azalea says, as she congratulates Howard for his skill in combat against the Liberty ErotiCake. He replies from his Divide.
Howard Pinnacle (intercoms)
Of course, Queen Azalea. Remember, I and everyone within the RF act as the sword and shield of the Ascension.
Howard says, menacingly. Chole then speaks, weakly over the Liberty ErotiCake's intercoms.
Chole Madison (intercoms)
Dammit...if we could just move, we'd shut him up-
Suddenly, Susan moves her Divide closer to the nearly destroyed Liberty ErotiCake and kicks it so that it now lays on it's side. She then lowers it's foot down onto the Liberty ErotiCake's cockpit, causing a strong crushing sound to occur.
"CRUSHING METAL"
Bijou Luisant
GAH!
Chole Madison
ARGH!
Isaac Carter
GRK!
Noah Maverick
GRR!
Across the way, Perle and Sabrina take notice of Susan's actions.
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, Susan will speak, as she continues to have her Divide press down hard against the Liberty ErotiCake's cockpit. The sounds of metal pressing up against the five pilots inside will be heard as she does this.
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
Excuse me, but you people in the Liberty ErotiCake are lucky that Queen Azalea allowed for us to capture you as well as the Tyranny ErotiCake and bring you onboard. As such, you three-and Bijou for that matter-are only here to observe the meeting between Divitiya Irana and the Two Queens. Please, keep your mouths shut...!
Bijou Luisant
ARGH!
Now, it will be seen that Bijou's body is currently being pressed hard against the pressure that Susan is weighing on the Liberty ErotiCake's cockpit. The weight will be causing the terminal in front of Bijou in particular to push hard against her body, causing her pain. Susan, however, will revel in this, until two voices cry out to her from her right-
Perle Luisant
STOP IT!
Sabrina Madison
PLEASE! WE'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT!
Susan Pinnacle
!
Howard Pinnacle
!...
Now, as Susan has her Divide look over to her right, Howard will do the same, to which now, the Two Queens will speak.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Ah, yes...I nearly forgot about there being two other pilots inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake...especially that woman in the bodysuit who killed our sister!
Divitiya Iran
...!
Now, Queen Media will speak.
Queen Media Ascension
How about you come out of that ErotiCake, Divitiya-along with those other two girls. We have some things we'd like to discuss with you...or, would you rather we have Susan continue to press down on the Liberty ErotiCake's cockpit...?
Queen Media says, as Susan continues to press down hard against the Liberty ErotiCake. The strains of everyone inside will continue, to which Perle and Sabrina-without a moment of hesitation, will then open the Tyranny ErotiCake's cockpit. As they do, both Perle and Sabrina will stand up and put their hands in front of them innocently.
Perle Luisant
"sorrowful look"
Sabrina Madison
"sorrowful look"
Behind then, Commander Idris, Faith and Grace will see them from their current locations and remain quiet. Queen Azalea will then comment on the situation.
Queen Azalea Ascension
!...Very good. I must wonder what kind of relationship you two have with Bijou and her friends, if you care so deeply for them to leave the Tyranny ErotiCake so quickly? Could you two girls be their students, like Howard and Stanley were under Rhapsody before all of this began? Or...perhaps...?
Now, Queen Azalea will point towards the ground in front of the Tyranny ErotiCake for both Perle and Sabrina to go to. They do so immediately, to which as they do, back in the cockpit, Divitiya is seen to slowly stand up and then come out of the Tyranny ErotiCake's cockpit.
Divitiya Iran
...
Divitiya now looks up towards Queen Azalea and Queen Media. As she does this, both Queen Azalea and Queen Media will wince while looking at Divitiya, as memories of what happened to Princess Fayola will come rushing back to their minds now. They will then shake these off, to which Queen Media will then engage a switch next to her and her sister, which will cause the platform that the two that they are on to slowly descend downwards. As they go, the E-AndroIs behind them will also be with them, to which Queen Azalea will mention this to them-
Queen Azalea Ascension
...E-AndroIs. Under no circumstances are any of you to shoot at these people-UNTIL either myself or my sister give you such an order.
E-AndroIs
Understood, Queen Azalea.
While Queen Media is content with her sister saying this, Queen Azalea will not be satisfied, to which she will turn her head to look at the E-AndroIs behind her. Queen Azalea then speaks in an icy cold tone.
Queen Azalea Ascension
I expect you all to listen to my exact words right now. Do not fire...until either one of us tells you to do so. Is that clear?
E-AndroIs
...?
Slightly surprised by the repeated question, the E-AndroIs will be taken aback slightly. They will then repeat their previous statement after a brief moment.
E-AndroIs
...Understood. Queen Azalea.
Queen Azalea Ascension
...
Queen Media Ascension
After making herself absolutely clear, back with Divitiya, she will remain calm and collected as she proceeds to go down the same ladder that Perle and Sabrina just used to get to the floor. As she goes, Chairwoman Francoise will then secretly contact her via her secret comms.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
...Divitiya? Can you hear me?
Divitiya will reply.
Divitiya Iran
Yes, Chairwoman Francoise. How is the fleet doing against the RF fleet?
Chairwoman Francoise will reply rather coldly at first, indicating that maybe the Confederation fleet is having more trouble with the RF than Chairwoman Francoise lets on during this talk. However, as she explains more to Divitiya, she will loosen up her tone a little.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
Don't worry about that, Divitiya-they're handling the situation...though, I just heard that they had quite a bit of unexpected trouble with the RF. However, despite those loses on our side, Mainland is now starting to slow down and we will have full control over it very soon.
Divitiya Iran
!...You mean, the Ascension still didn't slow down Mainland before it crashed into the planet?!
Divitiya will say with some surprise in her tone, to which Chairwoman Francoise will then speak.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
No, they did not. I suspect that the RF had a hand in this-but we can look at all perspectives of this battle later, as we still have just enough time to slow down Mainland before it's too late. My mother and the other two have some incredible pilots on their sides, of whom were the ones responsible for informing them about Mainland's continued movements towards Gleen.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
Anyway, while we drive away RF from Mainland's airspace, you will have to use the second secret function of the Tyranny ErotiCake in order to get out of this mess on that ship-but make sure that you turn it off before it kills you or Perle and Sabrina.
Divitiya Iran
Of course...it does put quite a strain on even me, after all...
Divitiya says, now visibly worried about engaging the second feature of the Tyranny ErotiCake. Chairwoman Francoise then speaks.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
...Once you get back, we might be able to reinforce the Next-EffectPhase Fabric so that the pressure on you three isn't that bad. But, ultimately this pressure will never be mastered by anyone-not until we create the "Xeno" much later on.
Divitiya Iran
Yeah...
As Divitiya nears the floor, Chairwoman Francoise then asks-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
...Oh, and are you wearing the "clear-controller" on your palms, like I asked you to put on beforehand?
Divitiya replies.
Divitiya Iran
Of course, Chairwoman Francoise. I will be using that after I've spoken about the true purpose of the Genetic Codes and myself to these two Ascension, just like we planned.
Divitiya says, as she then gets to the floor. Chairwoman Francoise then finishes up.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
Good, my friend...go ahead and tell them everything they want to hear. Afterall, that information isn't really useful to the Ascension anyway, as we are already hearing rumors that their military is starting to advocate for peace with the Confederation. That hints that the Ascension don't actually have a true motive for fighting against us in the first place...which isn't going to be helped by what you will say...right now.
Divitiya Iran
Yes...
Now, with Divitiya joining both Perle and Sabrina, she will see how scared they are right now. She will then speak to them in order to calm them down.
Divitiya Iran
...Don't worry, Perle and Sabrina. It's me they want to speak to...not any of you...
Perle Luisant
...But, what about our-
Now, before Perle can finish her sentence, Divitiya will cover her mouth. She will then speak again-this time by leaning in closer to Perle and Sabrina and speaking, softly-directly into their ears. Her tone will be serious, as she speaks.
Divitiya Iran
Remember what I said from before, you two. Don't say anything that can be used as ammo for the enemy-especially now that we are in their ship and they must have us under close surveillance...
Perle Luisant
...!
Sabrina Madison
...!
Divitiya will then back off instantly after saying that to both Perle and Sabrina.
Now, back with Commander Idris, Faith and Grace, all three will be seen to be keenly listening in on Divitiya, Perle and Sabrina. While they will have heard what Divitiya said about how the Two Queens want to speak with Divitiya herself, they will NOT have heard what Divitiya just muttered to both Perle and Sabrina, as her voice was too soft for them to pick up from their machines. Elsewhere in the Tenebris Root, Rhapsody will also be seen to be closely watching the scene play out, but she is more concerned with Susan pressing down on the Liberty ErotiCake's cockpit. She speaks.
Rhapsody Luisant
...Susan...you...!
Back with Susan, she will feel a chill on her back, which will involuntarily cause her to stop pressing her Divide's foot on the Liberty ErotiCake now.
Susan Pinnacle
!...
She doesn't understand doing this, but she won't think too much about it-as the Two Queens now approach.
Queen Azalea Ascension
...
Queen Media Ascension
...
Now, as the sounds of high heels clack on the floor, both Queen Azalea and Queen Media will slowly size up Divitiya, as they walk towards the front of the Tyranny ErotiCake and the three. Once they are directly in-between the Tyranny ErotiCake and the Liberty ErotiCake, they then stop and then look directly towards Divitiya. She responds by taking a few steps in front of both Perle and Sabrina, who then raise up their arms in front of their bodies in fear and anticipation. Now, Queen Media speaks.
Queen Media Ascension
...So, this is the person...who is responsible for killing our sister 18 years ago...
Queen Media says, as she finished sizing up Divitiya. Her bodysuit and helmet are still in the way of seeing who exactly Divitiya is. Queen Media continues.
Queen Media Ascension
Before we ask you to remove that bodysuit and helmet...may I ask you one thing...Divitiya?
Divitiya replies, coolly.
Divitiya Iran
Go ahead. Ask.
Queen Media asks her question-to the person within the bodysuit and helmet.
Queen Media Ascension
...18 years ago...when you killed our sister, Fayola Ascension...what did you think at the time? Did you show her any mercy? Did you...have any doubts that you were doing the right thing in killing her and breaking her wrist like you did? Or did you kill her...just because you were following orders?
Divitiya Iran
...
After a moment, Divitiya will reply to these questions.
Divitiya Iran
I thought nothing of it, Media. Back then, a man that I respected and admired for creating me and my race the way he did asked me to believe in him and his vision for the future. He told me many times that my actions that day would lead to the eventual defeat of the Ascension, to which if Bijou had listened to her father and destroyed Mainland, Consumers would now be free to traverse the stars-ensuring their survival into the future.
Divitiya Iran
My race would've also been there with them, along with a "new" Ascension species-just like the DIC had planned to create before all of this happened. I killed your sister 18 years ago simply because "he" asked me to, and to believe in him that their Grand Plan would succeed.
Queen Media Ascension
Kh...
Queen Media gives Divitiya a slight glare, to which Divitiya then asks-
Divitiya Iran
Can you honestly hate me for just following orders from someone that I loved? Can you honestly look down on me and say I should've cared for someone that I did not know or cared anything for? That I didn't respect or had no knowledge of until now, when I get to meet those affected by my actions-nearly 2 decades later?
Queen Media Ascension
...
Queen Azalea Ascension
...
Now faced with this, Queen Media and Queen Azalea will be faced with a very hard question to answer. Everyone around them silently watches, as Queen Media then replies.
Bijou Luisant
...
Chole Madison
...
Isaac Carter
...
Noah Maverick
...
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Commander Idris Requiem
...
Faith Nadir
...
Grace Nadir
...
Howard Pinnacle
...
Susan Pinnacle
...
Now, Queen Media replies.
Queen Media Ascension
...No. I can not hate you...anymore, Divitiya. Afterall, we are technically in the same boat, as here we are today, ordering our pilots to go out there and attack the Confederation-with the RF's help.
Divitiya Iran
...
Queen Media will say this while looking down, to which she is unsure of where to place her hate now. She will then speak once more.
Queen Media Ascension
...Who was it...? Who ordered you to do such a thing to our sister back then...?
Queen Media will ask, almost desperately. Divitiya will reply.
Divitiya Iran
His name was Director Oberon Luisant. He was Bijou's uncle, as well as the person who had a hand in both of our races' creation. That man...along with the men who created Operation SEED in the first place and many other people that lived in the DIC back then...are dead-due to the actions of Bijou herself.
Queen Media Ascension
!
Bijou Luisant
...
Divitiya's words are cold-but the hard truth, to which back inside of the damaged Liberty ErotiCake, Bijou then looks away in sadness and grief. Queen Media then shows some humility by taking a step back away from her current location, to which she then makes way for Queen Azalea.
Queen Azalea Ascension
...I'll take over from here.
Queen Media Ascension
Yes...thank you...
Now, Queen Azalea will speak, with a cold stare on her face. She then speaks.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Now that we have that question answered...I think this is the time for you to finally revel to us what you look like behind that mask and bodysuit, Divitiya.
Divitiya Iran
...
Faced with this request, Divitiya slowly replies.
Divitiya Iran
...As you wish, Queen Azalea...
Now, Divitiya begins to undress herself in front of everyone, to which as she takes off her bodysuit, she has to first pull off certain restraints from the suit, before it then falls to the floor. Her naked body is then reveled for everyone to see, to which her skin is blue, and then, Divitiya slowly takes off her helmet to revel-
"Psh!" "Psh!"..."Crack"
Everyone
!
Now, Divitiya's face is finally reveled, to which her eyes are black with red pupils. Her hair is long and white, and she has red lipstick, to which her entire naked body is then reveled for everyone to see. As she stands, she speaks.
Divitiya Iran
Allow me to properly introduce myself to you. My name is Divitiya Iran, and I am a part of the Second Generation of "Created Races" developed after the Ascension. A "Baptisian".
Everyone
!
Everyone is shocked at who they see and the words that Divitiya says to everyone. Perle and Sabrina are also amazed, as their jaws hang out. Commander Idris, Faith and Grace also show shock, to which back with Queen Azalea, she then asks Divitiya a series of questions.
Queen Azalea Ascension
If you would be so kind...could you tell us more about your race? Also, anything you can tell us about those other Genetic Codes that we've heard about...and...what does the Confederation hope to achieve by creating more individuals like ourselves?
Divitiya Iran
...
After a moment of pause, Divitiya will answer.
Divitiya Iran
Starting with your first question, my race-the Baptisians, are not based on any extinct lifeform from the planet Gleen like your race was. My race was created based on the mythological "vampire" species, which are described in old folktales and horror stories. The DIC had the capacity to create us thanks to advancements in gene editing techniques, which is why I was often referred to as the "next generation" of the "Created Species" projects.
Divitiya Iran
While my race is based on vampires, we don't actually feed off of blood or burn away when in direct sunlight, as those elements were something that the DIC disregarded when creating my race.
Queen Azalea will then ask-
Queen Azalea Ascension
I see. Were these "genetic editing advancements" also used in our creation, or just yours and those other three Created Races that should also exist?
Divitiya will reply-but to Queen Azalea's first question, as she will confirm the existence of the other three Created Races later in this conversation.
Divitiya Iran
...Actually, your race also has these same genetic editing advancements-but for a more...different purpose. It gets complicated around this point, but I'll do my best to explain it as best I can.
Queen Azalea Ascension
...
Queen Media Ascension
...
Both Queen Azalea and Queen Media focus themselves in order to concentrate on Divitiya, to which Perle and Sabrina also do the same. Bijou, Howard and everyone else also does the same, as Divitiya continues.
Divitiya Iran
You see...all Created Races still have Consumer DNA within our bodies, as it's necessary in order to act as the template for new cells to then be implanted into-either extinct or mythological in nature. This was done in order to ensure that when these animal cells were implanted into our bodies-while we were still an embryonic state in the artificial wombs-our immune systems would not attack these newly-injected animal cells, as by doing so would cause the newly created combined DNA strands to break apart-leading to our deaths at a cellular level.
Both Queen Azalea and Queen Media barely understand this, to which Divitiya then explains-
Divitiya Iran
With that said, after the DIC got past that point and we began developing within the artificial wombs, our bodies underwent "mutations" with these animal cells, in order to ensure that when we came of age for proper reproduction, we'd be able to pass on these new animal traits into our children without any negative effects.
Queen Azalea will ask-
Queen Azalea Ascension
Negative effects? What kinds?
Divitiya explains.
Divitiya Iran
The biggest factor was to ensure that the animal DNA correctly bonded with Consumer DNA over the course of generations perfectly-without causing damage or death at the cellular level. Aside from that, a minor issue was tested before the creation of the Ascension-which was studied in the "Ascension Failures" back in Daleraba. The people who studied them documented that at times, these creatures would display certain...pains...over their bodies.
Commander Idris Requiem
!...
Commander Idris will react to this, as Divitiya continues.
Divitiya Iran
While this issue did not kill the test subjects, it was believed that the Ascension would experience the same pains, as this occurred in all Ascension Failure subjects.
Queen Azalea Ascension
!
Surprised by the explanation provided by Azalea, she will think back to the time where she and her sister infiltrated Catalyst. The monsters that she encountered still frighten her, to which Divitiya then continues speaking.
Divitiya Iran
...I'm sure that while you two haven't felt these pains, as you are among the first generation, if you have had children by now or know of someone in your military that is a child of an Ascension family, then they should be already experiencing these pains...correct?
Queen Azalea will reply.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Y...yes, we have heard of many complaints from our children in fact, as they are experiencing pains over parts of their bodies as the years have gone on. Our doctors can't seem to determine how to ease their pain, as the pain is said to occur at random intervals...
Queen Azalea claims AND confirms that she and Media have children of their own. Now, Divitiya's eyebrow twitches, as she takes a glance behind her to the Divide that Commander Idris is in. He is then seen.
Commander Idris Requiem
!
Now, inside of Commander Idris' Divide, he will realize that Divitiya is speaking about him. Divitiya continues speaking, while the view is from his Divide now.
Divitiya Iran (monitor)
This pain is due to their bodies starting to mutate and evolve with the animal cells that were passed onto them from their parents. The process is slow, but after they reach a certain age, the pain should cease, and then when the third generation of Ascension comes into existence, instead of experiencing pain, they will instead be born with certain features of the animal that was used in your race's creation-being that of the now extinct pink flamingo.
Commander Idris Requiem
...
Commander Idris is silent, slightly dumbfounded by this revelation. Divitiya continues to speak outside.
Divitiya Iran (monitor)
Fortunately...the mere existence of the pilot in that Divide behind us proves that the Ascension are able to reproduce perfectly. That means that there will be no negative effects of the genetic editing from back when the DIC existed...to which now is a good time for me to talk about your next question, concerning those other three Created Races.
Queen Azalea Ascension (monitor)
Yes...please, go on.
Commander Idris will now speak.
Commander Idris Requiem
I see.
Commander Idris says, as he looks at his pink hand in his cockpit. Faith then speaks to him over his comms.
Faith Nadir (comms)
...Idris?
Grace Nadir (comms)
Are you still feeling that pain she's talking about?
Faith and Grace ask-worried about Commander Idris. Commander Idris then speaks to them both.
Commander Idris Requiem
Yes, actually. It comes and goes-just like she said...but, at least now I know why me, my sister and my friends all feel this sort of pain-and that it'll go away in time...
Faith Nadir
...
Grace Nadir
...
Back outside, Divitiya continues to speak.
Divitiya Iran
...About the other three Created Races-yes, they do exist, but in our cases, being the first and second generation, we mainly exist to test weather or not these animal cells and mythological animal cells would bond with Consumer DNA. With that now being confirmed as a success, when the Confederation created these other three races, they made sure to activate those dormant animal cells, which will grant the people to come various abilities at the cellular level from the moment they are created.
Divitiya Iran
Abilities such as immortality, which will develop over the course of hundreds of years; faster cellular repair of damage to their bodies and even the ability to survive in the harshest of environments-including space, are just some of the many benefits these three new races will have at their disposal. And all of these abilities will even be accessible to both our races, as the Confederation will be able to take and then implant these same cells into their bodies very soon.
After saying this, Queen Azalea will ask-
Queen Azalea Ascension
...Why? Is that the point of creating more people like us, Divitiya?
Divitiya Iran
...
After a moment, Divitiya continues.
Divitiya Iran
In short, the ultimate purpose of the Created Races is...to spread our images across the galaxy-and eventually the universe. Based on everything that I've told you so far, do you see how that would work?
Queen Azalea will reply-confused.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Um...I'm not sure I follow...
Queen Azalea says, looking genuinely confused. Divitiya explains to the best of her ability.
Divitiya Iran
I can understand that, as everything that I've described is relatively difficult to understand at first glance. Basically, the DIC created us because they wanted to eventually harvest some of those animal cells that they left dormant in our DNA, as once it was passed down from generation to generation-that would ensure that they could be collected and then mass produced within their lifetimes.
Divitiya Iran
Once extracted, these cells could then be implanted back into Consumers, and then activated by using further advanced medical techniques that now exist today. They will then have the same benefits that I just described, thus ensuring that we can spread our images across the universe without limit. Do you see now?
Queen Azalea Ascension
Ye...yes...a little...
Though still shaky, Queen Azalea will start to understand what it is that Divitiya is trying to say. She then speaks.
Queen Azalea Ascension
So, the DIC created our two races in order to eventually extract some of our newly created DNA-after they made sure that we wouldn't die out in the process over the course of several decades. And by now, those dormant animal cells must be bonded to us in such a way that when they are activated-
Queen Media then speaks.
Queen Media Ascension
-Those abilities that you just mentioned would become apart of our bodies at the cellular level-which would allow Consumers further opportunities to traverse space.
Howard Pinnacle
!
Susan Pinnacle
!
Now, both Howard and Susan will come to this same realization, to which they will brace themselves to intervene, as Divitiya then finishes up her long explanation.
Divitiya Iran
Precisely...and now, I believe that I've answered all of your biggest questions.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Yes. I do believe you have, Divitiya. Thank you very much, as all of this was quite informative...
Queen Azalea will say, still not sure of everything that she's heard from Divitiya. Then, Divitiya will then speak.
Divitiya Iran
...Now that you know of the Confederation's intent in all of this...may I ask the two of you of a question of my own?
Queen Azalea Ascension
A question?
Queen Media Ascension
...Alright.
Now, Divitiya then reaches out her hand to both Queens, asking-
Divitiya Iran
Please, Azalea and Media. Could you find it in your hearts to accept the Confederation's offer for peace, so that we may work together to build a brighter future?
Queen Azalea Ascension
!...
Queen Media Ascension
!...
Now faced with this question, both Queen Azalea and Queen Media will be presented with an offer of peace from Divitiya. Perle and Sabrina, along with everyone else in the hanger will look on in anticipation, as Queen Azalea-now seeing that the prospect of expanding outwards into space, is worthwhile than fighting at this time. She takes but one step towards Divitiya, before-
"CLACK!"
The instant she does that, a massive sword comes right in front of her body-stopping her from going any closer towards Divitiya.
Queen Azalea Ascension
?!
Queen Media Ascension
?!
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, the sword will be revealed to have come from Susan, who will speak to everyone.
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
...My Queens. You two should really know better than to trust the words of an enemy.
Queen Azalea Ascension
What...are you doing?!
Queen Media Ascension
Susan?!
Susan continues.
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
Isn't it clear? Everything that this person has said to you is a lie, as there is no way that the Confederation would ever wish to seek peace with the Ascension! She is just trying to lure you into a false sense of security with her sweet poison, before the Confederation then turns you all back into paste like you told us they did to your predecessors!
Queen Azalea Ascension
!
Queen Media Ascension
!
Now snapped out of their trance, Susan will retract her Divide's blade-just enough so that both Queen Azalea and Queen Media will be able to look at Divitiya. They speak.
Queen Azalea Ascension
...Divitiya...would you...?
Queen Media Ascension
Was everything that you just said...a lie?
Divitiya will now quickly respond.
Divitiya Iran
No-of course not! What I said was the-
Now, Susan will cut off Divitiya by asking-
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
Remember, my Queens! The Confederation has created a military force that is 10 times greater than both of our space fleets combined! Why do you think they'd create such a force, if they wished to seek peace with the Ascension? They could just use those ships to destroy you all-along with us as well!
Queen Azalea Ascension
Gh!
Queen Media Ascension
!
Susan will be desperately trying to keep both Queen Azalea and Queen Media on the path of fighting against the Confederation. Her words will be meant to simply confuse the two, as Divitiya continues to try to talk some sense into them.
Divitiya Iran
Wait, Azalea! The Confederation only created that many military war assets out of-
Again, Susan cuts off Divitiya, as Divitiya's voice continues to get drowned out by Susan's words.
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
REMEMBER that should we give into the Confederation, they will kill us-the very people who made sure that you are still alive today! Don't forget that without our intervention 18 years ago, you and your entire race that we saved would've died!
Queen Azalea Ascension
!
Queen Media Ascension
!
Susan continues.
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
...You owe us your lives, my Queens, as Howard made so many sacrifices on your behalf back then. All those sacrifices will be thrown away, if you give in and accept the Confederation as your allies.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Grk...
Queen Media Ascension
Susan...are you-
Now with both Queen Azalea and Queen Media confused, Divitiya will try one more time to get through to them.
Divitiya Iran
Azalea! Media! Do not listen to her!
Divitiya says, desperate to continue to try to get through to them. They won't be able to make a response, as now Howard will step in.
An instant later, Howard will then take control of the situation, by saying-
Howard Pinnacle (intercoms)
...E-AndroIs! Activate System 00989!
E-AndroIs
!
Now, the E-AndroIs that have been standing by all this time near the elevator will react to this new command. They stutter for a moment, before activating with glowing red eyes. They then speak.
E-AndroIs
...Orders, Sir Howard?
Howard speaks, as everyone is surprised by his actions.
Howard Pinnacle (intercoms)
...Kill those two girls over there, and then bring me the head of that blue-skinned monster! She has killed an Ascension!
Perle Luisant
EEEKK?!
Sabrina Madison
WHA?!
Queen Azalea Ascension
?!
Queen Media Ascension
?!
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, as the E-AndroIs raise their beam rifles, they will point them directly at Perle and Sabrina. With just moments to spare, Divitiya will react-
Divitiya Iran
Tyranny ErotiCake! Activate Wings of Light!
In that same instance, Divitiya will press a series of commands into the clear controllers on her palms, which will then cause the Tyranny ErotiCake to activate.
Tyranny ErotiCake
!
Now, a surge of energy will come from the Tyranny ErotiCake, as it's Next-EffectPhase Fabric will now begins to become a bright red. Divitiya will then move her arms, to which the Tyranny ErotiCake will respond in the exact same way.
Divitiya Iran
HAU!
Tyranny ErotiCake
!
Now, Divitiya will swing her arms towards her back, which in turn will cause the Tyranny ErotiCake to knock away Faith and Grace in their Divides. This will also cause Commander Idris in his Divide to also be knocked away, to which as Faith and Grace are more surprised, he will be more collected.
Faith Nadir
AHHHHH!
Grace Nadir
WAUUGH!
Commander Idris Requiem
...Hmph...another unexpected secret from that ErotiCake...
Seconds later, all three Divides crash into the wall behind the Tyranny ErotiCake, as it then stands up. A second later, the E-AndroIs take aim and fire their weapons at Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya-
"GATTLING GUN FIRE"
As the energy bullets approach the three girls, both Perle and Sabrina scream out loud-
Perle Luisant
AAAAAAAAUGH!
Sabrina Madison
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Just before hitting the girls, the energy shots will be reflected by the Tyranny ErotiCake, as Divitiya will have managed to bring the hands of the Tyranny ErotiCake in between the attacks from the E-AndroIs and both Perle and Sabrina just in the nick of time. After this is shown, Divitiya speaks to the girls, as she grabs ahold of her suit and helmet.
Divitiya Iran
C'mon, you two! Get inside of the left hand of the Tyranny ErotiCake, as we still have to get your parents and get out of here!
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Now with the left hand of the Tyranny ErotiCake next to them, the three will get on and then Divitiya will take them up to the cockpit of the Tyranny ErotiCake-all the while the E-AndroIs below will be attacking them. As they get in, the light from the Tyranny ErotiCake will continue, as Perle and Sabrina sit down in their seats. After a moment, Perle closes the cockpit, to which the monitor will then revel-
Sabrina Madison
...Perle-hurry and help them!
Perle Luisant
I know!
Now, the Tyranny ErotiCake will brace itself to rescue the nearly-destroyed Liberty ErotiCake. However, across the way, Susan will bar the way towards the Liberty ErotiCake-with Howard behind her. Susan will speak out to the Tyranny ErotiCake.
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
Don't move, you three...
Perle Luisant
Gh!
Susan says, as below her Divide the two Queens call out to her.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Susan!
Queen Media Ascension
What do you two think you are doing?!
Susan will now reply to the Two Queens-while still keeping her blade pointed towards Perle and Sabrina.
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
...Please, my Queens. The talks have ended, so get back to safety and leave this matter to myself and my husband.
In defiance, Queen Azalea will try to say-
Queen Azalea Ascension
Susan! We still have more things to ask Divitiya!
In response to this, Susan will say-
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
It's clear to me and Howard that you two are not thinking clearly at this time. For your safety, I must do this-
Now, Susan looks over to the E-AndroIs below, to which she will speak to them.
Susan Pinnacle (intercoms)
E-AndroIs. This is Susan Pinnacle of the RF. Please take both Queen Azalea and Queen Media out of this area and back to the bridge at once.
E-AndroIs
Understood, Susan.
Queen Azalea Ascension
!
Queen Media Ascension
!
Now, the E-AndroIs will quickly run up towards the Two Queens and then proceed to take them away. They speak.
Queen Azalea Ascension
What did you do to our E-AndroIs, Susan-"Grhk"! Unhand me at once!
Queen Media Ascension
Why will they not listen?!
They scream, as the E-AndroIs take them back to the elevator. Back with the Tyranny ErotiCake, Perle and Sabrina are still glaring at Susan-not even batting an eye towards the Two Queens to their right.
Perle Luisant
"Glare"
Sabrina Madison
"Glare"
Now, back with Susan, she repositions her Divide, to which behind her, the Divide that Howard is in is seen to be looking down at the Liberty ErotiCake. He speaks to her.
Howard Pinnacle
...Alright then, Bijou. If that's how you're going to be, then you leave me no choice!
Bijou Luisant
HOWARD!
In this case, it will appear as if Howard and Bijou were speaking to each other OFF SCREEN-while Divitiya was busy saving the lives of both Perle and Sabrina and Susan was barring their way to them. As their conversation ends, Howard then raises his Divides' sword into the air, to which back with Perle and Sabrina-
Sabrina Madison
Gh-Perle, HURRY!
Perle Luisant
Damn it-I won't make it in time!
Now, Divitiya will speak to both Perle and Sabrina.
Divitiya Iran
Perle-use this system!
Perle Luisant
What?!
Now, a new ability of the Tyranny ErotiCake will be accessible to Perle and Sabrina, as Divitiya speaks.
Divitiya Iran
This light that's coming from the Tyranny ErotiCake isn't just for show, as it's actually the second secret feature of this Superior Weapon. It generates "Wings of Light" behind the Tyranny ErotiCake, which will increase it's speed over 10 times what you felt from before.
Perle Luisant
...Really?!
Sabrina Madison
It has that kind of thrust?!
Both ask, in near disbelief. Divitiya then reiterates-
Divitiya Iran
Listen to me...the speed that this ErotiCake is capable of reaching exceeds Mach 7, of which due to that incredible power the field created by the Next-EffectPhase Fabric will be fully nullified-to the point that we will likely experience a feeling much worse than the first time you two piloted this Superior Weapon. It's a kind of speed that even I am not used to experiencing...but, to save your parents, do you still wish to use it?
Perle Luisant
Gh...
Divitiya asks, as across the way, Howard is seen to lower his Divide's blade, to which as the blade comes ever closer to the Liberty ErotiCake's cockpit, Sabrina and Perle make their choice-
Sabrina Madison
Divitiya! Perle, please!
Perle Luisant
Let me use the Wings of Light!
Divitiya Iran
!
With that, Divitiya will engage the Wings of Light system of the Tyranny ErotiCake. Perle will then focus everything she has on controlling this incredible speed, as the only thing that she sees is trying to rescue her mother and friends.
Perle Luisant
MOTHER!
Susan Pinnacle
?!
As the Tyranny ErotiCake hovers in place, it will soon disappear into just a couple of lines of pure energy. These lines will then speed directly towards the Divide that Susan is in, to which-
Susan Pinnacle
WHAT THE-?!
Susan says, as she struggles to swing her sword at the images coming towards her. However, all she will hit are afterimages of the Tyranny ErotiCake, to which an instant later, the real Tyranny ErotiCake will then be mere inches away from the cockpit of the Divide that Susan is in. Susan's baffled face will be seen for just a split second-
Susan Pinnacle
?!
-Before the view goes into the cockpit of the Tyranny ErotiCake, where both Perle and Sabrina will speak.
Perle Luisant
...Move-
Sabrina Madison
Out of our WAAAAAAAYYYY!
They scream, as Perle then moves the Tyranny ErotiCake to punch Susan's Divide out of the way. The impact is so great that the Divide nearly tears apart, to which as it flies backwards, it shoots past the Divide that Howard is still in-stopping him from striking the Liberty ErotiCake.
ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Howard Pinnacle
Hm?!
Howard says, as his wife in her Divide blasts past him and into the wall on the opposite side of the hanger. He speaks.
"CRASH!"
Howard Pinnacle
S-SUSAN!?
Inside of the carter in the wall, Susan will still be alive-but greatly winded by this sudden attack. She speaks.
Susan Pinnacle
...Damn...that...Superior Weapon...is it a...ghost!?
Now, the appearance of the Tyranny ErotiCake will be that of a demon-a beast that looks primed to attack at any moment. Howard now bears down this Superior Weapon in his Divide, to which he speaks.
Howard Pinnacle
...Those two girls...? With their Superior Weapon moving that fast, their bones must be about to snap. Why would they go so far...just to keep Bijou alive?!
He asks, as he can't understand why Perle and Sabrina are nearly killing themselves just for Bijou and her friends. Back inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, Perle, Sabrina and even the still naked Divitiya will be under an immense amount of stress-to the point that both Perle and Sabrina are coughing up blood.
Perle Luisant
..."Puhh"
Gags Perle, as she coughs up a bit of blood from her mouth. Sabrina has to strain herself greatly, in order to speak to Perle.
Sabrina Madison
Guah...Perle...
Perle Luisant
!...
Now, Perle has to strain herself greatly in order to just turn her head to look at Sabrina. However, when she sees her, what she sees is-
Sabrina Madison
"crying"
Perle Luisant
...!
Now, due in part to the incredible amount of pressure that the three girls are feeling, Sabrina will not be able to take it and will now be seen to be slumped in her seat. Her body is nearly breaking, as her bones are now heard to be under a lot of stress, as she barely musters the energy to speak.
"Bones stressing sounds"
Sabrina Madison
...Please...Perle...save our p...p...parents...
Perle Luisant
GRK!
Perle-also under an incredible amount of stress, as a drop of blood will escape from her mouth and nose. She will struggle to even speak, as she then replies-
Perle Luisant
...You think...moving this ErotiCake the way it is now...is EASY?!
Perle screams, as she continues to bleed from her mouth. Then, an instant later, a face appears in front of the Tyranny ErotiCake. It's-
Howard Pinnacle
You've let your guards down!
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
...!
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, Howard will have his Divide bearing down on the Tyranny ErotiCake, to which he will swing his Divide's sword at the Tyranny ErotiCake's face. The attack will connect-
"CLACK!"
To which Howard will smirk, thinking he's won.
Howard Pinnacle
Hmph, simple...WHAT?!
Now, Howard will realize that his Divide's blade didn't hit the Tyranny ErotiCake's face-but instead, Perle managed to CATCH the blade mere inches away from the Tyranny ErotiCake's face. Utterly surprised by this, Howard will then brace himself, as Perle then prepares to attack-
Perle Luisant
DAMN YOU...HOWARD!
Howard Pinnacle
?!
"CRACK!"
Now, using the incredible speed that the Tyranny ErotiCake has, Perle will manage to break Howards' buster sword in half, to which tightening the Tyranny ErotiCake's hand into a fist once more, she will then cause the Tyranny ErotiCake to lunge forward-
Perle Luisant
MOVE IT, OLD MAN!
An instant later, Perle will deliver a punishing and final punch at Howard's Divide. The hit will come straight at the face of Howards' Divide, to which the impact will be so strong that the Divide will be flung backwards at an incredible speed.
"CRASH!""CRASH!""CRASH!""CRASH!"
Howard Pinnacle
ARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
After passing through several walls within the Tenebris Root, the Superior Weapon will finally come to a stop after crashing through at least 9th or so walls. As it does, back with Perle and Sabrina, Divitiya is then seen to turn off the Wings of Light system from within the Tyranny ErotiCake.
After this, Perle and Sabrina finally return to normal, to which they speak.
Perle Luisant
AH...A...AH...AUGH...
Perle can't even mutter any words, to which Sabrina is even worse off-
Sabrina Madison
...
Sabrina is completely silent, to which Divitiya then speaks-just as bloodied as Perle-
Divitiya Iran
...Perle...I have..more experience with this kind of speed, so...I'll take over from here-ok?!
Perle Luisant
...!
Sabrina Madison
...
Without even mentioning a word, Perle then falls unconscious-just as Sabrina does moments later. Then, Divitiya takes control of the Tyranny ErotiCake from her seat and lowers it to then pick up the critically damaged Liberty ErotiCake in its arms. Bijou then calls out to her from the comms.
Bijou Luisant (comms)
...Perle?!
Chole Madison (comms)
Sabrina?!
Both Bijou and Chole cry out, hoping their daughters will reply. Instead, Divitiya does so-weak from the incredible force of using the Tyranny ErotiCake's Wings of Light system. She struggles to move the Tyranny ErotiCake forward, as she speaks.
Divitiya Iran
...Sorry, Bijou and Chole...I had to engage...the Wings of Light system of this Superior Weapon...which put a tremendous amount of stress on...both Perle and Sabrina...
Isaac Carter (comms)
What?!
Noah Maverick (comms)
Are they alright?!
Divitiya doesn't reply, as she then positions the damaged Liberty ErotiCake against the chest of the Tyranny ErotiCake. She then uses the free right arm of the Tyranny ErotiCake to undock the powered up Liberty Blaster from the Liberty ErotiCake, to which she then-
Divitiya Iran
We can...check on them once we get out of here...!
"Liberty Blaster firing"
As the beam comes out, it blasts a hole into the doors of the hanger that leads into space. Divitiya then lets the sweeping currents of outer space pull the Tyranny ErotiCake and Liberty ErotiCake out into space.
Back on the bridge of the Tenebris Root, the ship is now seen to be just leaving behind Mainland. Both Queen Azalea and Queen Media are brought in by the E-AndroIs, to which they are NOT happy at how things developed back in the hanger.
Queen Azalea Ascension
...
Queen Media Ascension
...
As this happens, Captain Irena then speaks to them.
Captain Irena Requiem
...My Queens. Both Howard and Susan have been recovered and are alive. I'm sure that the two of you wish to have some colorful words with them, yes?
Now, Queen Azalea will speak-clearly furious at what happened back at the hanger.
Queen Azalea Ascension
...Don't even let them go to the medical station onboard before we have a "word" with them...
Captain Irena Requiem
Hmph...Aye aye, my Queens!
Captain Irena says with glee in her tone. Everyone else is then seen smiling.
Advisor Rusty Impulse
...!
Bridge Staff
...
Everyone on the bridge can sense the sheer amount of hate and contempt emanating from both Queen Azalea. At the same time, they will have heard everything that was discussed by Divitiya, to which this will help to sow the seeds of seeking peace with the Confederation in these people.
Then, Queen Media speaks-slightly less upset at the situation, as she asks something else of Captain Irena.
Queen Media Ascension
...On another side...did Rhapsody make it to Mainland safely?
Now seeing that Queen Media is shifting the conversation, Captain Irena will reply.
Captain Irena Requiem
Why, yes! We just sent her on her way while the pilots of the Tyranny ErotiCake were tearing up some of my ships hangers, in fact.
Queen Media Ascension
...,Good. And I see that most of the RF fleet is retreating back to our Space Fortress. Well done, Captain Irena...and don't worry about the damage-we will order for a full repair when we get back to Neith.
Queen Media says, acting more mature than Queen Azalea at the moment, to which her praising of Captain Irena is welcomed by her. Then, suddenly, one of her bridge staff will call out to her-
Bridge Staff #3
...Captain Irena! I have a visual on the Tyranny ErotiCake and Liberty ErotiCake. What are our orders?
Captain Irena Requiem
!...Tell the nearest squad to try and intercept them! We'll recapture them and bring them back to the closest ship near them!
Bridge Staff #3
Yes!
Now, Captain Irena will bring up the view on her main screen in front of her. Now, the nearly destroyed Tyranny ErotiCake will be seen to be carrying the also nearly destroyed Liberty ErotiCake in it's arms. As it does, however, the Tyranny ErotiCake is seen to be nearly invisible-thanks to it's Phantasm-Camouflage. An intentional distraction, as Divitiya then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
...Chairwoman Francoise...are you certain this is a good idea?
Divitiya asks, now speaking into her helmet to Chairwoman Francoise. She replies.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
Yes. This revel can be used to our advantage in the future-but first, you must hurry and escape from the AA Fleet, as both Perle and Sabrina need medical treatment at once!
Divitiya Iran
I...yes, Chairwoman Francoise...
After Divitiya says this, back with Captain Irena, she will be shocked to see that the Tyranny ErotiCake is invisible. She and the others speak.
Captain Irena Requiem
...Unbelievable! The Tyranny ErotiCake can turn itself invisible!
Advisor Rusty Impulse
...
While Irena will be genuinely shocked, Rusty will be silent-indicating that he knew of this hidden feature. Back with the Two Queens, they are just as amazed, as they speak.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Incredible! The Confederation is truly one dangerous superpower...to which I think we'll let them off easy for now, Irena-as we should observe that Superior Weapon some more.
Captain Irena Requiem
!...Of course, my Queens.
As Queen Azalea says this, she will now intentionally allow for the Tyranny ErotiCake and Liberty ErotiCakes to make a clean getaway. As they go, Queen Azalea will question.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Now...I have to wonder if what Divitiya said was the truth...
Queen Azalea says, as her sister then speaks.
Queen Media Ascension
Yeah...but, we can arrange another meeting later. Now, we'll have to increase our patrols, now that they have demonstrated this kind of technology.
Queen Azalea Ascension
Yeah...
Queen Media says, seeding the seeds of fear for later.
Elsewhere, as the Tyranny ErotiCake continues to fly back to the Confederation fleet with the Liberty ErotiCake in it's arms still, the tactic of showing off the Tyranny ErotiCake's Phantasm-Camouflage will have worked, to which as it approaches, the Blue Aphrodite and Hydra Noon will be seen, along with the rest of the fleet of ships in the background. Onboard the Blue Aphrodite, Advisor Crystal will speak with glee in her tone.
Advisor Crystal Blue
...! Captain Heaven! I'm getting a contact from both the Tyranny ErotiCake and the Liberty ErotiCake! They made it!
Captain Heaven Risingstar
!...Thank goodness...put it on screen, please.
Advisor Crystal Blue
Of course...!
Now, both Advisor Crystal and Captain Heaven will be seen to have been greatly worried about everyone, to which Heaven will speak again, once the view of the Tyranny ErotiCake and the Liberty ErotiCake are on screen for everyone to see.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...Phew...I'm glad that they making it back in one piece...
Advisor Crystal then speaks.
Advisor Crystal Blue
They are signaling that they need medical attention to every ship in the vicinity, though...that wasn't planned for by Chairwoman Francoise...
Captain Heaven Risingstar
!
Surprised, Captain Heaven will speak.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
Get Harper and her team to bring them into the Blue Aphrodite at once! And get our medical teams ready to receive them as well.
Advisor Crystal Blue
Right!
With Advisor Crystal doing her task, Captain Heaven will think to herself for a moment.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
*...I guess even with the help of Bijou and her friends in the Liberty ErotiCake, they were still not prepared for what the Ascension would throw at them. Even so, once they get better, Bijou and her friends will have an upgrade coming to the Liberty ErotiCake...with this kind of power, something this bad shouldn't happen again...*
Captain Heaven thinks, as she looks at a document in front of her that shows that there is a major upgrade to the Liberty ErotiCake coming-one that will change it from being a Blockade to a powerful Divide built for speed-just like the Tyranny ErotiCake. As this occurs, the Tyranny ErotiCake returns to the Blue Aphrodite with the Liberty ErotiCake still in it's arms, as the chapter then ends.
-Chapter END-
