-CHAPTER 27 - Part 2-
Written By
David Kenneth Lacey
Within Mainland, a shot of the Black Block will be shown. It will still be under the control of the civilians, of whom some of them are seen patrolling around the sides of the buildings and within-
Civilian #1
...
Civilian #2
...
Civilian #3
...
Civilian #4
...
Civilian #5
...
As this is shown, the view will then show the outside of Black Block, where two civilians holding guns are standing guard.
Civilian #6
...
Civilian #7
...
As they stand guard, suddenly, a sound will occur from above them, drawing their attention to look upwards-
"FIRECRACKERS!"
Civilian #6
What?!
Civilian #7
Are we under attack?!
Suddenly, two shadows will emerge from behind these individuals. They then-
?
!
?
!
Civilian #6
Kuh!
Civilian #7
Du...ugh...
As the civilians fall to the ground, the shadows are reveled to be both Sebastion and Cesario. They catch the two civilians as the are about to fall onto the ground and then gently place them against the side of the double doors, as several Next-AndroIs come up behind them. As this happens, they then stand up, turn around and face the Next-AndroIs, saying-
Sebastion Luisant
...How are the other entrances?
Sebastion asks, to which one of the Next-AndroIs replies to him-
Next-AndroIs #1
The side entrances have been secured by Cicienna and Harper. So long as SYSTEM-DESTINY's diversion above attracts enough attention, we can move inside to clear the way for them undetected.
Sebastion Luisant
Good...
Then, Cesario speaks-
Cesario Luisant
We'll be going inside from here, so remember our mission. There will be civilians and hacked Next-AndroIs inside, but you all may ONLY target and destroy the hacked Next-AndroIs, as there can be absolutely no civilian casualties.
Next-AndroIs
Parameters recognized.
With Cesario's statement, he finishes up the conversation, as he, Sebastion and the group of Next-AndroIs open the double doors and enter inside of the Black Block.
Elsewhere, already inside, sounds of battle will be heard, as Cicienna and Harper's group are now locked in battle against the hacked Next-AndroIs-
"Laser fire sounds"
Next-AndroIs
...
As the Next-AndroIs under the command of Cicienna and Harper fire at the hacked Next-AndroIs further ahead, they do so while also moving slowly backwards. The hacked Next-AndroIs firing at them then take a moment to duck back in order to recharge their weapons, to which the civilians further behind them then announce to them-
Civilian #3
Hacked Next-AndroIs! Don't let them get any further inside!
Hacked Next-AndroIs
Understood.
With their orders understood, the Hacked Next-AndroIs then proceed to move forward, attempting to push the attacking Next-AndroIs, Cicienna and Harper out of the Black Block. However, this is what Cicienna and Harper want, as they say-
Cicienna Domino
...Next-AndroIs. Continue to draw them back outside, as our trap is ready.
Next-AndroIs
Confirmed!
As Cicienna says this, the Next-AndroIs begin to withdraw backwards while still firing at the Hacked Next-AndroIs, to which as this occurs, Harper then sees further behind the Hacked Next-AndroIs and civilians commanding them to see-
Harper Domino
...!
Further behind them, Harper sees Sebastion, Cesario and the group of Next-AndroIs that were with them running upstairs, to which as Harper sees this, she speaks-
Harper Domino
Cicienna...let's go back outside.
Cicienna Domino
Right.
As Harper says this, she and her sister then retreat, along with the Next-AndroIs. As they run away, the civilians scream-
Civilians
Don't let them escape! Capture them, as they must know where the key is that controls the Black Block!
Hacked Next-AndroIs
Understood.
With that, the Hacked Next-AndroIs run after them, along with the civilians behind them, to which the scene then transitions to the second floor.
Here, Sebastion and Cesario will head to the command room with several Next-AndroIs running with them. As they go, they will encounter no more resistance, as most of the civilians are the ones chasing after Cicienna and Harper's group. As they get to the double doors of the Black Block, they will then meet-
Sebastion Luisant
Francoise! Over here!
Sebastion says, as from the other side, Chairwoman Francoise, Ginnette, Rohais, Cassandra and SYSTEM-DESTINY will come up to the two men. As they come together, Chairwoman Francoise will say-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
Felix and his other supports must be inside.
To which Cesario will reply-
Cesario Luisant
Yeah. We didn't notice him leaving the Black Block, nor did we run into his supporters either.
Cesario says, to which Rohais then speaks-
Rohais Luisant
Alright. We'll take over things from here, so you two can cover our backs...along with Destiny here.
As Rohais says this, SYSTEM-DESTINY will then step forward, saying-
SYSTEM-DESTINY Ver-III
Thanks, Rohais. This body doesn't have much in the way of combat parts-at least, not until we begin the Judgement project.
Rohais then replies with-
Rohais Luisant
Don't worry, Destiny. That time is fast approaching-just you wait.
Rohais says as she smiles, to which SYSTEM-DESTINY then goes with Sebastion, as he says-
Sebastion Luisant
Give them hell, mother.
With that, he, Cesario, SYSTEM-DESTINY and the rest of the Next-AndroIs with them will then leave, as Ginnette and Cassandra will then take their spots on the opposite side of the double doors. Chairwoman Francoise will then nod with her mother behind her-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
"Nod"
Ginnette Pinnacle
"Nod"
With Ginnette nodding, the two will then force open the doors, to which with it open, suddenly-
"Guns tossing onto the ground"
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...?
Now, as the four lean against the wall, a voice will then call out to them-
?
Chairwoman Francoise. Please come in, as I can assure you and the other three leaders that we have no guns pointed at you right now.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...
Ginnette Pinnacle
...
Rohais Luisant
...
Cassandra ?
...
With the invite, Chairwoman Francoise, Ginnette, Rohais and Cassandra will then move into the open doors to see-
Muscular Civilians x10
...
Now, about a dozen shirtless, muscular civilians will stand in front of Felix, who is sitting behind a desk in the command room. Chairwoman Francoise notices this, and speaks in a stern tone-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
You must be Felix, I presume.
Chairwoman Francoise says, as Felix replies, calmly-
Felix ?
Yes, my leaders. I am Felix, one of the people who organized this revolution against you all...
Felix will say this in a somewhat hesitant tone, indicating that there is more to his involvement than he is letting on right now. Chairwoman Francoise will notice this, but keep things going by saying-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
!...I'm afraid that we haven't had the time to get acquainted with each other yet, my friend. Would you care to tell us why you have organized all of this, please?
Chairwoman Francoise asks this kindly, to which Felix will then begin smoking a cigarette. This also gets Chairwoman Francoise's attention, as Felix begins to explain-seemingly without a care in the world-
Felix ?
"Lights cigarette"...Of course, Lady Francoise. Afterall, while you four claim to be for the people, you never seem to really give a shit about how much misery we civilians really go through-even when these things happen right under your noses.
Felix says, as he speaks in a very foul tone towards Chairwoman Francoise and the other leaders. Chairwoman Francoise continues to remain calm, as she says-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
I'm...not sure I follow, as haven't we been the biggest advocates for a stable economy during all of this? Could you please elaborate?
Felix ?
...
As Felix exhales, he will then angerly stand up, as he then begins with-
Felix ?
Do you four know how security is handled within the Saviour Ships?
Felix asks, strongly, to which Chairwoman Francoise replies, slowly-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...Of course. Each ship's security is managed by a crew of Next-AndroIs, whom act as a police force. We couldn't cover...the costs of maintaining a crew of civilians in those positions, so we were forced to leave that task up to AndroIs, as they could be easily programed and could operate without maintenance-until we reached Schirra.
Chairwoman Francoise's explanation will cover the truth, but she will pause during a certain part, hiding something. Felix will notice this, but he will just continue speaking, saying-
Felix ?
On paper, I'm sure that sounds ideal-having a bunch of AndroIs watching out for us. However, answer me this: What would happen if some of the civilians in the Saviour ships would suddenly gain control over some AndroIs during this journey? What do you think would happen then?
Now, Ginnette will speak up, asking-
Ginnette Pinnacle
What are you getting at, Felix?
Now, Felix will get to the point, saying-
Felix ?
I'm saying that while you four sat here in the comfort of the Black Block and talked to us all from a distance, thousands of civilians have been killed...by other civilians who hacked their protectors.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
!
Ginnette Pinnacle
!
Rohais Luisant
!
Cassandra ?
!
Shocked to hear this, Chairwoman Francoise and the others will quickly see where this conversation is going and will immediately reaffirm their expressions. The four will look sly, as Felix notices their slight expressions and will continue-
Felix ?
The reason why this happened is due to a certain fact that many people noticed as we were being shuffled to and from Mainland and back onto the Saviour Ships. There was a noticeable discrepancy in how every SCMU was stocked with food...which is a fact that you four knew fully of-even before we left Gleen.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...Tch.
Now, Chairwoman Francoise will be shown to become stressed, as Felix notices her displeasure in hearing this and continues speaking-
Felix ?
Yes...you four LIED about the actual amount of food and water each SCMU has, as you must've originally designed the distribution of food for us on an individual basis. We saw how some SCMUs had enough food to last a minimum of 2 weeks, while others had enough food to last 1 month-which was the limit for all SCMUs.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...
Ginnette Pinnacle
...
Rohais Luisant
...
Cassandra ?
...
Now, Chairwoman Francoise and the other will be silent, as this information will be something they did not want becoming known to the public. Felix continues-
Felix ?
I'm sure that this information could've been withheld from the public, had the Ascension not forced your hands back on Gleen. However, it's now widely known that no one would've had enough food to last the complete 2-month journey to Schirra. There is still one more month before we get there, which considering what has happened so far...many people are not willing to continue this trek with you.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
!...
Ginnette Pinnacle
!...
Rohais Luisant
!...
Cassandra ?
!...
Chairwoman Francoise and the others will show some interest in what Felix just said, but they will remain silent. Felix will then ask-
Felix ?
Do you have anything to say about this...Francoise?
Felix asks, as now, Chairwoman Francoise will speak up-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...Yes...Felix. The reason why we lied...was to keep the peace.
Curious, Felix will ask-
Felix ?
...Keep the peace?
Felix says this with a look of confusion on his face. The 10 men in front of him will also look confused, to which Chairwoman Francoise will explain-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
Yes. All of you just need to look around yourselves right now-where we are right now and how far we've come...and hopefully you'll understand how us lying about the specifics of food and water that the Saviour Ships would have today allowed us to survive until now.
Felix ?
...
Muscular Civilians x10
...
Chairwoman Francoise continues-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
Over the past 18 years, we managed to build over 500 Saviour Ships that could make this journey possible in the first place. More importantly, we also managed to build the Next-Curtain Barriers back on Gleen, which saved everyone who lived in the Confederation from the deadly ash storms caused by the destruction of the DIC.
Felix ?
Yes...that's true...
Felix will agree with Chairwoman Francoise, as she then says-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
Had it been known back then that we wouldn't have enough food to make it to Schirra-without extreme rationing of military provisions, then no one would've cooperated with us to create the ships that we are on right now. We would've all died back then from the geomagnetic storms...which is why we lied about this information.
Chairwoman will say this with a tone of acceptance, indicating that she is being truthful in what she says. However, she will not bring up how she was connected to President Sacha's Grand Plan from 18 years ago, as by doing so, the noble class of the Confederation would've been held responsible for the current situation and potentially killed. Felix will not investigate Francoise further on this topic, as he will speak, slightly impressed by Francoise coming clean...but, that will quickly change, as he then says-
Felix ?
Indeed...we have come quite a ways so far and I'm sure you could've worked something out with the food crisis...and, I personally couldn't imagine the Confederation of old working together as a whole without you four in charge-especially if we had known about this problem then...
With Felix's statement, the true secret of Chairwoman Francoise and the others will continue to be hidden. However, he will hit back hard with this statement-
Felix ?
However...while I believe you on this issue, that doesn't mean that any of the people who have died up until now are ever going to come back-nor does it save the people that we care for right now. As such, I must ask that you give me the key to the main command room for the Black Block, before I have my men here send you and those people downstairs outside.
Felix says, indicating that he has some personal steak in this whole plot. As he says this, the men in front of him then prepare to attack Chairwoman Francoise and the others. Chairwoman Francoise responds by saying-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
I'm sorry, Felix, but we all have also lost people that we love due to this current war...and of course the previous one. And as for the key to the Black Block's control room, I'm afraid I can't hand that to you-especially when I don't know what you would do with it.
Felix replies, ending the conversation-
Felix ?
You four don't need to know about that...as it's not like these gentlemen with me here are just here to stand around-"Snaps fingers".
Just as Felix snaps his fingers, the men then crack their knuckles and then begin charging towards Chairwoman Francoise and the other three leaders. As this happens, the scene will then transition back outside...
"Scene Transition"
Outside of Mainland, on the surface of the left side of the superstructure, the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and Tyranny ErotiCake will be seen to be standing-while staring down the D4 Divide that Rhapsody is piloting. Behind her, Commander Idris, Faith and Grace will be standing by, pointing their weapons at the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and Tyranny ErotiCake, while the Tyranny ErotiCake does the same with it's swords. As this happens, inside of the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II's cockpit-
Bijou Luisant
...
Bijou is now reveled to be extremely nervous, as she is unsure about meeting her mother-whom she hasn't seen in over 2 decades. In response to this, Noah speaks up, saying-
Noah Maverick
...Alright, Bijou. Are you ready to see her?
Bijou Luisant
Ah...yeah, I'll just extend the transfer bridge...!
Bijou does this reluctantly, as she then engages a clear transfer bridge from around the cockpit of the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II. As it extends, a similar transfer bridge also extends from the D4 Divide that Rhapsody is piloting, and then as the two bridges connect, air flows into it and then on the opposite side, the cockpit of the D4 Divide opens up to revel-
Rhapsody Luisant
...!
Now, Rhapsody is seen from across the bridge, as the scene will show Bijou looking at her mother from her seat-
Bijou Luisant
!...Mother.
Bijou will be shocked to see her mother after all this time once more, as she can't seem to move her body. Her eyes will tear up, as for over 2 decades she will not have seen her mother and even believed she had been killed...and yet now, after all this time and the events of the previous war, here her mother is...just within reach-
Bijou Luisant
...
Noah then speaks to her again, saying-
Noah Maverick
C'mon, Bijou. Go and talk to your mother, as this is what you've wanted to do for all these decades...
Bijou Luisant
!
Now, Bijou will be knocked out of her shock, as she will then speak-
Bijou Luisant
Ah..ah, y-yes. I just...can't believe that after all this time...I can finally see and speak to my mother...
Bijou says, as she slowly begins to unhook herself from her seat. After doing so, she then slowly begins to get up, as she then floats into the bridge-
Bijou Luisant
...
As Bijou begins traveling through the bridge between her Divide and her mother's, Perle and Sabrina will be shown briefly-watching over Bijou from close by. They won't say anything, as on the opposite side, Commander Idris, Faith and Grace will look on, watching Bijou travel through the bridge.
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Divitiya Iran
...
Commander Idris Requiem
...
Faith Nadir
...
Grace Nadir
...
After this is shown, Bijou will then draw closer and closer to her mother in her Divide, to which as she enters inside, the cockpit to the D4 Divide will then close behind her-
"Cockpit closing"
The bridges between the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and the D4 Divide will then disconnect and retract back into their respective Divides, as within the cockpit of the D4 Divide, Bijou's touching reunion with her mother will begin...
Inside of the D4 Divide, Bijou will be shown to be still floating in the air, as the D4 Divide will have it's artificial gravity turned off. Rhapsody will be standing in her cockpit, to which she will then start to cry-as she extends her hands to catch her daughter into her arms-
Rhapsody Luisant
...Bijou.
As Rhapsody wraps her arms around her daughter, Bijou will smile tenderly, as she also wraps her arms around her mother. As she does this, she will gently push against her mother, forcing her to fly in the air with her...and then...their reunion will begin-
Bijou Luisant
"Cries"...It really is you, Mother...! You're alive...after all this time...I thought that you...!
Rhapsody Luisant
I'm right here, Bijou...my only daughter. I'm so grateful that you have made it this far..."Cries"
As both mother and daughter embrace each other, they both won't be able to contain their joy, as both will cry silently while holding each other. They will spin around in space, as everything else will seem to just...disappear around them. Their clothes; the cockpit of the D4; the battle in space around them...everything will just seem to dissolve, as they embrace each other. As this is shown, some time will then pass...
After a short while, Rhapsody will be leaning against the back of her Divide, with her daughter Bijou still embracing her. Bijou will look so peaceful, as she holds her mother in her arms. After a few more moments of the bliss, Rhapsody will say to her daughter-
Rhapsody Luisant
...I'm sorry, Bijou...
Bijou Luisant
...Hm?
Curiously, Bijou will be shocked out of her blissful state and then look up to see her mother's face. Rhapsody will then continue-
Rhapsody Luisant
I am...so sorry that you had to grow up all alone all these years, without me being there for you. I...can only say to you that I only wanted the Ascension to live beyond the Grand Plan that your father had constructed, as I could not stand by and allow for 10 million individuals to be exterminated like that...
Bijou Luisant
...
As Rhapsody says this, she will look remorseful, as the view then shows Bijou's face. She will look remorseful, as she says-
Bijou Luisant
It was hard...living with father and my brothers back then, as they were also in on father's Grand Plan-but they didn't tell me anything...until I forced myself into a war I knew nothing about. However...I wasn't truly alone during that time before the war began...!
Rhapsody Luisant
...?
Now, Bijou's face will look conflicted, as she will recall how she used to play with Howard so much before the war 18 years ago. When her mother disappeared, Howard, Stanley and Susan were the ones whom she bonded with, as she now recalls several images from her younger days-
"Flashback Image 1"
"Flashback Image 2"
"Flashback Image 3"
Bijou Luisant
...
As Bijou continues to fight her emotions, Rhapsody will speak positively of Howard, not knowing of what has happened. She says-
Rhapsody Luisant
I heard from Howard about that time, Bijou. He used to love playing with you on your birthdays, along with Stanley and Susan. In fact, I'm surprised that-
Now, Rhapsody will be cut off by Bijou, as she shouts-
Bijou Luisant
I CAN'T FORGIVE HIM!
Rhapsody Luisant
?!
Surprised, Bijou will now tightly grip her mother's clothes as she says this. As her face is shown once more, Bijou will be seen to be about to cry, as she continues-
Bijou Luisant
I...cannot forgive him...for what he has done...
Bijou will now be shown to be fighting back from crying with all of her might. Now curious, Rhapsody will ask-
Rhapsody Luisant
Bijou...I don't understand why you have so much animosity Howard. During these past 18 years, they told me many times how you have the support of our entire family.
Bijou Luisant
Gh!
Bijou will now be stunned by this remake, as she then slowly tilts her head to look her mother in her eyes.
Bijou Luisant
...
Rhapsody Luisant
...!
As Bijou looks at her mother...and she looks back at her daughter, Bijou will finally begin to cry, as tears now start to fall off her face-
Bijou Luisant
..."cries"
Surprised by this, Rhapsody will ask-
Rhapsody Luisant
Bijou...why...are you like this? What happened?
Bijou Luisant
...
Now, Bijou's hair will cover her eyes, as a heavy shadow will hover over her now. Bijou will be forced to tell her mother the truth, as she slowly begins to explain what has happened under her mother's nose-
Bijou Luisant
...He...left her...
Rhapsody Luisant
What?
Bijou Luisant
...
Rhapsody will now grip her daughter firmly by her shoulders, as she wants an answer. She will ask again-
Rhapsody Luisant
Bijou...who did he leave?
Slowly, Bijou will reply, as more tears come out of her eyes. Bijou will still be looking her mother in her eyes, as she then says-
Bijou Luisant
Howard...left Rebecca...to...die...even when I begged him to help me look for her...
Rhapsody Luisant
...
Rhapsody will be stunned to her core after hearing this, as her jaw will be left to hang wide open. Bijou will then finally start crying openly, unable to look her mother in the eye anymore. Her head will fall, as she cries-
Bijou Luisant
"CRIES...cries...cries..."
Unable to control herself, Bijou will cry continually, as her mother continues to hold her in her arms. As this happens, Rhapsody's hands will then slowly wrap around Bijou's head, as she then struggles to force Bijou to look at her in the eye once more. Once she has done this, Bijou will look so remorseful, as her mother demands answers-
Bijou Luisant
Mmm..."hah"..."hah"...
Rhapsody Luisant
Bijou...how did this happen?
Bijou Luisant
...
After what must seem like an eternity, Bijou will finally explain-
Bijou Luisant
...18 years ago, back when father sent me and Andrea to go and talk to the RF during the stalemate, I turned down Howard's offer, as he wanted me to join hands with the RF. He wanted me to convince Andrea and her friends to become apart of his rebellion against the DIC...
Rhapsody Luisant
...
Bijou continues-
Bijou Luisant
However...what that man didn't tell me before I told him what I did, he...had gone back to the Confederation to convince Rebecca to investigate some information about Operation SEED. At his request, she decided to investigate, but got captured by the Crowns and was forced to fight on their behalf-as her family was also taken...
Rhapsody Luisant
!...
Bijou Luisant
By the time we arrived, she reached out to us because she thought she could work with us to get that information...but, when we went there, we were attacked...and when I awoke, Howard and Stanley came to save me...and left her behind...
Rhapsody Luisant
!
Bijou will then lower her head, as she then says this to her mother. Rhapsody will be stunned to hear this information, Bijou will have finally confessed her pain to her, who now holds her crying daughter in her hands. This information will break something within Rhapsody as she will say-
Rhapsody Luisant
...I...had my suspicions that Howard was hiding something from me all this time...but, I never thought it was something as horrific as this...
Upon recounting this story, Bijou will slowly grit her teeth-
Bijou Luisant
"Grit's teeth"
As she does this, she will then slowly announce this-with her face still wet from all of her tears-
Bijou Luisant
...That is why...I have to avenge her, mother...I have to-
Suddenly, Bijou will be cut off by her mother now, as she stands up with her daughter in her arms. The sudden move surprises Bijou-
Bijou Luisant
?!
As Rhapsody then moves one of her arms to engage the transfer bridge. As this happens, Rhapsody then tells Bijou this-
Rhapsody Luisant
No, my daughter. You will not challenge that man in combat...
Bijou Luisant
...M...mother?!
Now, Rhapsody will look Bijou in her eyes-deadly seriously. The level of intensity that Bijou feels from her mother right now will shock her into submission, as Rhapsody then announces this to her daughter-
Rhapsody Luisant
You can believe me on this, my only daughter...I will take care of both Howard and Stanley myself. As such, you will not have to worry about them ever again, as I have exactly the right punishment in mind for those two lying to me all these years-
Just then, the transfer bridge extends fully, to which around the same time the transfer bridge from the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II will also connect. As it does, air is filled in and then as the cockpits open their hatches, Rhapsody leans in closer to her daughter to give her-
Rhapsody Luisant
"kiss"
Bijou Luisant
?!
Now, Bijou will receive a gentle kiss on her lips from her mother, as she will give her this as a token of appreciation. As Bijou is stunned by this gesture, Rhapsody will then slowly let go of her daughter, gently pushing her back towards the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II's cockpit. Without a means to stop herself from flying backwards, Bijou will cry out-
Bijou Luisant
Mother!?
Bijou cries out, trying to grasp her mother's hands, which are extended out towards her. She won't be able to catch her, as Rhapsody then leaves Bijou off by saying this-
Rhapsody Luisant
...Please, give my deepest apologies to my grand daughter and her friend for what I did to them the other day...I still regret striking them down the way I did, as at the time I just didn't know who they were...or how important they would be to me...
Bijou Luisant
!
As Bijou continues to fly backwards, she will not be able to stop herself from flying backwards-heading back to the cockpit of the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II. As she struggles, her tears will fly out towards Rhapsody, as she looks at her daughter flying further and further away from her with a caring look. A look of sadness; of kindness...and most importantly, a look of a mother who is seeing her daughter off for the last time-
Rhapsody Luisant
..."smiles"
Bijou Luisant
MOTHER!
Just as Bijou says this, she will extend her arms out to her mother...just as her cockpit closes in front of her.
As Bijou continues to fly back towards the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II, she will then be caught by Noah and Isaac and then brought back into her seat-just as the cockpit then closes. As it does, the transfer bridge will then disconnect, to which Bijou will say to her husband and friend-
Bijou Luisant
Isaac! Noah, let me go! I need to help my mother take down Howard for what they did!
Bijou screams, as Noah then replies quickly-
Noah Maverick
We can't do that right now, Bijou, as look at that!
Bijou Luisant
What?!
Bijou will be surprised at what Noah says-but she will then look at what Noah is pointing at. He will be pointing at a sudden bright light coming from the Neith, to which on the comms of the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II, Perle and Sarbina will then contact them and yell-
Sabrina Madison (comms)
Bijou!
Perle Luisant (comms)
We need to move, NOW!
Bijou Luisant
?!
As the light from the Neith's second superlaser intensifies, across the way, Howard and Emperor Stanley will be shown battling against a wave of Confederation Superior Weapons. They will easily best them, to which as they do, Emperor Stanley will then speak to Howard via comms-
Emperor Stanley Wilber (comms)
...Howard. The charge for the second shot is complete. The trigger and target is all yours.
Emperor Stanley says sinisterly, as inside of Howard's Divide, he will now target the very front part of Mainland. As the target locks on, he will then say-
Howard Pinnacle
...Confederation...Mother. I hope you watch this, as with this, we'll make our stance against you all as clear as crystal-!
Just after saying this, Howard will then pull the trigger, to which another enormous beam of energy will come out of the second superlaser along the surface of Neith. As this occurs, many AA and RF pilots and personal will watch in awe-as the beam travels across space-
AA Personal
!
RF Personal
!
As the beam travels closer to Mainland, many of their ships and Superior Weapons will be fighting against the RF's AI weapons directly in front of the path of the laser. They will not be able to evade, as close by, Rear Admiral Heaven and Rear Admiral Phillip say-
Rear Admiral Phillip Kai
GRR...DAMMIT!
Rear Admiral Heaven Risingstar
Is this how...we die...!?
Just as Rear Admiral Heaven asks this, on the underside of Mainland, an enormous shadow will be seen to be traveling fast-heading directly for the beam that's about to destroy Mainland and a good majority of the Confederation's military. As it flies under Mainland, it will soon leave behind the superstructure and then position itself directly in between the Confederation Fleet and the beam. Moments before the beam hits it, it will then engage a powerful Next-Curtain Barrier around itself-
? Block
!
Everyone
?!
As the beam then connects with this mysterious shadow, the beam will not be able to pierce through the powerful Next-Curtain Barrier. The beam will thus be split into several beams that travel away from the mysterious shadow, to which as the beam dissipates, back on the side of the RF, both Howard and Stanley will see...their worst nightmare before their eyes-
Howard Pinnacle
...What...the hell is this?!
Emperor Stanley Wilber
It...this is...inconceivable!
Now, standing between the Confederation fleet and the attacking AA and RF fleets, the White Block will be reveled.
"Revel of the White Block"
Howard Pinnacle
No...NO!
And...as the White Block is reveled, two specific ErotiCakes are also revealed, as they step out of the White Blocks' control area and then stare at the RF fleet. As they do this, inside both ErotiCakes, President Sacha and Vice President Georges will be in their custom cockpits, as they then target two very specific D4 Divides that are easily identifiable-
President Sacha Luisant
...!
Vice President Georges Luisant
...!
As both President Sacha and Vice President Georges identify these two Divides, they will not look at the weapons that these Divides possess, and will only look at the eyes of these two machines. They are exactly like the eyes of the Pinnacle-a right silver pupil and a blue left pupil, to which as they see this, their own eyes will then narrow, as a fierce glare will develop on their faces-
President Sacha Luisant
Howard Pinnacle...
Vice President Georges Luisant
Stanley Tempest...
Just as both President Sacha and Vice President Georges say this, the chapter will then end-
