As the battle begins near the back of Mainland, the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite in their transformed modes are seen to be locked in battle against the transformed Tenebris Root. As these enormous humanoid vessels face down each other, both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite make the first move-
Captain Phillip Kai
Heaven! I'll make the first move! Cover me!
Captain Heaven Risingstar
Alright!
As both Captain Heaven and Captain Phillip have their ships charge at the Tenebris Root, their ships seemingly "skate" across the surface of Mainland, to which as they draw closer to the Tenebris Root, each of their ships generate their weapons of choice. For the Hydra Noon, it generates a "energy whip" in the form of roses, and for the Blue Aphrodite, it generates a "Gridle" that creates a bow made of pure energy, along with an energy mask on it's face that helps for more precision shots.
Back on the Tenebris Root's bridge, Captain Irena sees this and then reacts-
Captain Irena Requiem
Those Confederation ships have impressive specs...however, everything still comes down to one thing-skill!
Now, Captain Irena has her ship move, to which it's four huge cannons behind it's back follow it as it moves. Captain Irena is shown to grit her teeth, as she starts off the battle by first moving her transformed ship to defend against Phillips' attack-
Captain Irena Requiem
"Grits Teeth"
"SMASH!"
Captain Phillip Kai
!
As Captain Irena defends against the whip attack from Captain Phillip, the Tenebris Root protects itself by using it's right arm to protect it's main body. While this causes some damage to the right arm of the Tenebris Root, Captain Irena knows what she is doing, as she will then fire some of her beam cannons at the Hydra Noon, in order to make it back off-
(Beam Attacks x5!)
Captain Phillip Kai
!
Upon seeing the attacks, Captain Phillip instantly has his Hydra Noon evade the attacks, which as the beams continue into the distance where the Superior Weapons are engaging against each other from both sides. The Confederation Superior Weapons are in the direct path of the 5 beams, to which all of them in their cockpits manage to see the bright attacks coming towards them and then are shown to do their best to avoid the crossfire. Just one beam is large enough to destroy over 50 Superior Weapons in a single shot, to which as luck would have it, no Confederation Superior Weapons are destroyed, as the beams from the Tenebris Root just cause them to evade out of the way and then the beams continue into space.
Back with the three ships, Captain Heaven now draws closer to the Tenebris Root in her Blue Aphrodite. As the two ships get close, Captain Heaven unleashes a series of hand-to-hand attacks against the Tenebris Root-
Captain Heaven Risingstar
!
POW! SMACK! CRACK! CLANK!
In response to Captain Heaven's attacks, Captain Irena has her ship defend itself against Captain Heaven's strikes. As Captain Heaven finishes her attacks, she ends by preforming a high kick upwards-but before she lowers her ship down to strike at the bridge of the Tenebris Root, Captain Irena quickly reacts to her attack by firing her ships' beam cannons once more at the Blue Aphrodite-
(Beam Attacks x4!)
Captain Heaven Risingstar
!
In response to this attack, instead of lowering her ship to land on the side of Mainland, Captain Heaven is forced to continue her high kick into the air, to which she easily avoids the attacks from the Tenebris Root. As her ship rises into space, Captain Phillip then appears before the Tenebris Root can do anything else against the Blue Aphrodite-but Captain Irena will have had her eye on the Hydra Noon the entire time-
Captain Phillip Kai
You've left yourself wide open!
Captain Irena Requiem
Think again!
Captain Phillip says this confidently, as he then raises his ships' left hand to strike at the Tenebris Root with it's energy whip. Doing so would cause a huge amount of damage, however, Captain Irena sees this quickly and immeadiatly reacts-
"GRAB!"
Captain Phillip Kai
WHAT?!
Now, Captain Irena has her Tenebris Root "catch" the hand of the Hydra Noon that was just about to strike at it with it's energy whip. While it does this, Captain Irena is then seen to lick the side of her lips-
Captain Irena Requiem
...Hmhm.
Now, Captain Irena raises the left hand of the Tenebris Root up to it's lips, kisses two of it's fingures and then proceeds to "tap" the forehead of the Hydra Noon. This move surprises Captain Phillip, who is now seen-
Captain Phillip Kai
Ah...what...is she...?
Captain Irena Requiem
!
"KICK!"
A moment later, Captain Irena has her ship kick away the Hydra Noon, as she raises the left leg of the Tenebris Root up so that the bottom of it's heel hits the head of the Hydra Noon. The blow knocks away the Hydra Noon, to which Captain Phillip is seen-
Captain Phillip Kai
GRRUAUGH!
Before the Hydra Noon crashes into the side of Mainland, it is saved by Captain Heaven, who is now shown to be behind the Hydra Noon and managed to grab ahold of the hand of the Hydra Noon with the Blue Aphrodite and raises it upwards-away from crashing into the side of Mainland. With the Hydra Noon now in the Blue Aphrodite's hand, Captain Heaven then has it regain it's original stance, as she then lowers it down onto the side of Mainland-to which the Hydra Noon then lands on it's feet. After this display, Captain Phillip now offers his thanks to Captain Heaven over the comms-
Captain Phillip Kai
...Thanks for the save, Heaven.
Captain Heaven replies with-
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
Don't mention it. Irena seems quite capable controlling her ship in that form, even though this should be her first time fighting using that transformation...
Captain Heaven says, assessing the skill of Captain Irena. Captain Phillip then replies to her by saying-
Captain Phillip Kai
That's unexpected, but we still have her outnumbered and have superior tech, so let's use that to our advantage to bring her down.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...Yeah, sure.
After Captain Phillip says this, both the Blue Aphrodite and Hydra Noon now glare down the Tenebris Root, to which it stands-anticipating a move from the two ships-the Tenebris Root is shown-
Tenebris Root
...
On the bridge of the Tenebris Root, Captain Irena is now seen talking to-
Captain Irena Requiem
...Eai-rdsidh? How's our fleet of Superior Weapons doing against the Confederation?
Now, the Enhanced AndroIs known as Eai-rdsidh speaks to Captain Irena, as outside, the eyes of the Tenebris Root look towards it's right-side. There, a battle is seen to play out between the Confederation and AA, where both sides are locked in battle. Nearly 20% of each sides' overall forces are shown now to be fighting against each other in a chaotic mess-while the remaining 80% slowly approach the combat zone. As the view zooms in to show the Superior Weapons fighting against each other, Eai-rdsidh narrates how the AA are doing-
Eai-rdsidh
Currently, the bulk of our forces has not yet fully engaged with the enemy, while the few that have made contact are currently locked in sporadic combat. Here are some camera feeds from some of their cockpits.
Captain Irena Requiem
!...
Now, Captain Irena is shown some of the live feeds from the cockpits of several AA/RF Superior Weapons, which are currently fighting against the Confederation. The AA/RF Superior Weapons-while being outclassed when compared to the Confederation's Superior Weapons-are still able to put up a good fight against the Confederation, scoring some hits and even destroying a few of their Superior Weapons.
Back with Irena, she speaks to Eai-rdsidh.
Captain Irena Requiem
...Alright, Eai-rdsidh. Send a message to our forces, telling them to prepare to break through the Confederations' defense line by forming a "Spike-Fenced" formation. Even getting a few of our forces to pierce through their Superior Weapons will allow those that make it to destroy 2 of Mainland's Engine Blocks. Hurry, before the Confederation sends reinforcements to our location.
Eai-rdsidh quickly replies with-
Eai-rdsidh
Understood, Captain Irena.
Now, back in the battle between the Superior Weapons, the battle switches over to the side of the Confederation now, who are preforming much better against the AA/RF Superior Weapons assaulting them at the moment. Deep within the battle, the Tyranny ErotiCake is seen to be fighting against several RF Superior Weapons and Superior AndroIs. As the battle plays out, inside of the cockpit of the Tyranny ErotiCake, both Perle and Sabrina are seen to be struggling to hold their own-
Perle Luisant
Hah..hah..hah..hah..
Perle is now seen to be panting and sweating, as her vision is blurry and she struggles to keep her eyes open. Next to her, Sabrina then says-
Sabrina Madison
...Perle! Two...on our left...
Perle Luisant
...!
Now outside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, two Superior AndroIs will assault the Tyranny ErotiCake, with three more RF Superior Weapons behind them about to attack the Tyranny ErotiCake. As the two Superior Weapons attack, the Tyranny ErotiCake doesn't respond in time, as the attacks then connect-
(BOOOOOM!)
Perle Luisant
GRRRK!
Sabrina Madison
ARRRGGH!
Divitiya Iran
!...
As the attacks from the two Superior AndroIs continue, the Tyranny ErotiCake is knocked around-eventually being pushed back. As this happens, the three other Superior Weapons behind the two Superior AndroIs close in and prepare to fire at the Tyranny ErotiCake. Back in the cockpit, Divitiya quickly speaks-
Divitiya Iran
...At this rate, we are going to be destroyed. I'll take full control, so you two can-
Suddenly, Perle speaks-cutting Divitiya off-
Perle Luisant
Wait! I...I got this, Divitiya!
Divitiya Iran
...
Now, Perle is shown to immediately bounce back, as the Tyranny ErotiCake then wipes off the damage that it just sustained. The two Superior AndroIs notice this, and then they still move in closer to attempt to finish off the Tyranny ErotiCake by drawing their swords-
Superior AndroIs #1
!...
Superior AndroIs #2
!...
As their eyes lock onto the Tyranny ErotiCake, they are about to land their swords, to which now, Perle reacts.
Perle Luisant
GHhhh! ...I won't...let you destroy the Tyranny ErotiCake!
After saying this, Perle uses the two Tyranny Buster Swords to block the incoming attacks from the two Superior AndroIs. As the blades connect, the sheer force of the impact causes Perle and Sabrina to grit their teeth heavily, as in their seats they can feel the force from the impact-which hurts their wounds-
Perle Luisant
GRRRRGH!
Sabrina Madison
MMMMM!
Divitiya Iran
...!
As this occurs, the two Superior AndroIs try to push back against the Tyranny ErotiCake. The three RF Superior Weapons then lock-onto the Tyranny ErotiCake, to which just before they fire-
(Beam Fire x3)
RF Superior Weapons
?!
Now, reinforcements from another group of Superior Weapons in the battle arrive to help Perle and Sabrina from above. Three Confederation Superior Weapons belonging to Teresa, Terese and Glitter are shown, to which they speak-
Teresa Maverick
Perle!
Terese Maverick
Sabrina!
Glitter Talent
We're here to back you up!
They say, as they proceed to fire their beam assault weapons at the three RF Superior Weapons. Their attacks destroy their weapons that they were just about to use, but the RF Superior Weapons come equipped with several more weapons on their backs, which they now draw and then engage against Teresa, Terese and Glitter. As this occurs, Sabrina and Perle then reacts to the enemies in front of her-
Sabrina Madison
Ah...we're saved!
Sabrina says this with relief in her tone, as Perle then also says-
Perle Luisant
You guys..."grips controls tightly"...are...in our WAY!
Perle says, with relief in her tone and on her face for the first part of her sentence, and then she grips the controls of the Tyranny ErotiCake. A moment later, she angerly says the last part of her sentence, as she now pushes away the two Superior Weapons with her blades-
Superior AndroIs #1
!
Superior AndroIs #2
!
Now a short ways away from the Tyranny ErotiCake, Perle quickly reacts by charging the Tyranny Buster Swords and then slamming them together. As a large amount of energy builds up, the two Superior AndroIs react by also charging their weapons-but it's too late, as Perle reacts first-
Perle Luisant
...Take this!
A moment later, Perle activates the energy building up in the Tyranny Buster Swords, sending it out in a stream of energy that pierces through both Superior AndroIs-
Superior AndroIs #1
?!
Superior AndroIs #2
?!
A moment later, the energy then retracts back into the Tyranny Buster Swords, to which a moment later, two explosions occur-
(EXPLOUSION!) (EXPLOUSION!)
As this happens, in the background many more explosions occur, as the battlefield over the side of Mainland intensifies. Back in the Tyranny ErotiCake, it hovers in space while holding it's swords, to which in front of it, the superior Weapons belonging to Teresa, Terese and Glitter are still locked in combat closeby. As they dance in space, Perle and Sabrina are seen back in the Tyranny ErotiCake's cockpit-
Perle Luisant
HAH..HAH..HAH..HAH..
Sabrina Madison
PHWAH..PHWAH..PHWAH..PHWAH..
Clearly exhausted, both Perle and Sabrina can be heard to be breathing heavily, as they now fiercely grip the areas on their bodies where their wounds are starting to open up. For Perle, her back is seen to grow slightly red, while for Sabrina, her lacerations over her body are also seen to slightly open up. Behind them, Divitiya sees this and then speaks-
Divitiya Iran
Your wounds...they are starting to open up the longer we fight out here. I believe I should take control of the Tyranny ErotiCake from here on, Perle...
Divitiya says, caring for the two's health-but just before she can activate the controls in front of her, both Perle and Sabrina cry out to her-
Perle Luisant
No...please...
Perle says, as she once again tightly grips the controls of the Tyranny ErotiCake, which Divitiya sees. Sabrina also reacts similarly, saying-
Sabrina Madison
Please, Divitiya...let us continue fighting like this...
Sabrina says, also desperate to remain in control of the Tyranny ErotiCake. Curious, Divitiya speaks-
Divitiya Iran
...Why? Why are you two so insistent on fighting alone-even when your wounds are starting to re-open?
Divitiya Iran asks, wanting an answer. Perle and Sabrina respond with strained voices-
Perle Luisant
Gh...we...can't show any weakness...not when our parents and Francoise have trusted us to use this machine...
Perle says, admitting her faults in that battle, which isn't an easy thing for her to do. Sabrina then speaks-
Sabrina Madison
If we don't keep fighting, then everyone will consider us dead weight. They will probably really take us off piloting this ErotiCake...which is why...
Divitiya Iran
!...
Now that Divitiya doesn't have her previous bodysuit, she isn't capable of instantly contacting Chairwoman Francoise at this time. Thus, she has to make her own judgements right now, to which she then says this-
Divitiya Iran
...While I can understand your willingness to live up to the expectations of others, no one is going to take either of you two off of piloting the Tyranny ErotiCake with me.
Divitiya's words ring the exact same thing that Chairwoman Francoise said during her conference with the other three leaders of the Confederation. Flustered, Perle and Sabrina then say back to Divitiya-
Perle Luisant
But, Divitiya...
Sabrina Madison
What if you are wrong and they really do take us off?! If we let the Ascension win today, then we might be blamed again, and-
Divitiya Iran
"PAT"
Now, Divitiya puts her hands on both Perle and Sabrina's shoulders, cutting off Sabrina from speaking-
Perle Luisant
?!
Sabrina Madison
?!
Divitiya now speaks, firmly-
Divitiya Iran
Calm down. Since you two are so insistent on fighting right now, I will let you two remain in control for the time being. However...this ErotiCake has three seats for a reason, as there is a way that I can join you in battle right now. You just need to let me help you two fight...alright?
Divitiya says, while leaning in closer to both Perle and Sabrina. Curious, Perle asks-
Perle Luisant
...How?
Sabrina Madison
Can you really help up fight, Divitiya?
In response, Divitiya then explains while still hunched over the two of them-
Divitiya Iran
Take a look at your controllers, you two. What do you see?
Perle Luisant
...?
Sabrina Madison
...?
Now taking a look at their controllers that move the Tyranny ErotiCake, both Perle and Sabrina are confused, as they look normal to them. However, they have lines about them that are clearly meant to glow, to which Perle doesn't notices this, but Sabrina DOES-
Perle Luisant
...I...I don't see anything unusual about them, Divitiya. They are just regular controllers...right?
Perle says, to which Divitiya then looks over to Sabrina. Sabrina is now seen to stare intently at her controllers, to which as she then spots something, she then speaks up-
Sabrina Madison
...! These lines along the controllers...the Liberty ErotiCake never had them...?
Divitiya Iran
Good, Sabrina. You've noticed...!
Just as Sabrina notices this, Divitiya stealthily hops back into her seat and then proceeds to engage her terminal in front of her. As she then activates a program, the controllers then light up, which causes both Perle and Sabrina to react in surprise-
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Now, Divitiya says-
Divitiya Iran
...Go on. Touch your controllers, and feel the power of "Harmonics".
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
At Divitiya's suggestion, both Perle and Sabrina now go ahead and grip their controllers. As they do, they feel a sensation they've never experienced, as their senses are then connected to each other. Upon feeling this, both Perle and Sabrina speak-
Perle Luisant
!...What is...this...
Sabrina Madison
I...I can see...what you are seeing, Perle...
Sabrina says, as her vision is now "linked" with Perle-as is she to her. As they get a handle of how this feels, Divitiya explains-
Divitiya Iran
...What you two are experiencing is Harmonics, which allows for the minds of the three of us to "converge" into a single link. This connection is then channeled through the whole of the Tyranny ErotiCake, and allows for instantaneous reactions to occur. By using this system, the two of you can bond with my mind, as we will all control this machine at the exact same time-and on the same mental level.
Divitiya Iran
That means that the two of you should be able to feel how accustomed I am to the Tyranny ErotiCake, as I have received training with it for many years.
Divitiya says, to which as she says this, Sabrina leans backwards to look at her, asking-
Sabrina Madison
Amazing. Is this system also another secret function of the Tyranny ErotiCake?!
Divitiya replies with-
Divitiya Iran
Yes, and this is the last one. The Mk-II will also have this feature, as well as all future Judgements that are to come-and in the proper hands, it can turn the tides of war.
As Divitiya says this, she too then grips her own controllers, to which upon sensing Divitiya being connected to their minds now, both Perle and Sabrina are amazed at her level of skill, as they speak-
Perle Luisant
Ah...INCREDIBLE! I can...feel how in sync you are with the Tyranny ErotiCake, Divitiya...
Perle says in disbelief. Sabrina also comments on Divitiya strength, saying-
Sabrina Madison
With your help...we can move the Tyranny ErotiCake more easily than ever before!
Sabrina says, happy about the sudden boost of energy she is feeling from Divitiya now helping them. Divitiya smiles, fond of the positive compliments, but then, she senses something-
Divitiya Iran
...! LOOK OUT!
Perle Luisant
What?!
Sabrina Madison
Huh?!
Caught completely off guard, both Perle and Sabrina are not able to do anything now, as a series of sudden explosions now surround the Tyranny ErotiCake-
"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!"
Perle Luisant
ARGUH!
Sabrina Madison
EEEEEEK!
As the explosions continues, the smoke around the Tyranny ErotiCake then starts to dissolve. As this happens, on the comms, Cheese speaks up to everyone-
Cheese Crackers (comms)
Everyone! They are starting to break through our defenses!
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, outside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, the three Superior Weapons that were engaged in combat with Teresa, Terese and Glitter fall back, to which now, a huge wave of AA/RF Superior Weapons are seen speeding towards the three. Behind the Tyranny ErotiCake, a even larger number of Confederation Superior Weapons are seen to now fire blindly at the wave of AA/RF Superior Weapons charging at them. Cheese is seen in his Superior Weapon, which wields a semi-automatic heavy beam pistol-
Cheese Crackers
DON"T LET THEM THROUGH!
As Cheese says this, the view then moves away from the Tyranny ErotiCake to show thousands of Confederation Superior Weapons firing at the wave of AA/RF Superior Weapons charging at them. As they fire, the AA/RF Superior Weapons are seen to dodge and weave around the incoming volley of attacks from the Confederation Superior Weapons. However, some of the Superior AndroIs do get shot down, but most of the AA/RF Superior Weapons that are piloted by Ascension and Humans do make it close to breaking through the wall of Superior Weapons that the Confederation has just set up.
Among the wave of AA/RF Superior Weapons, Commander Idris, Faith and Grace can be seen, approaching the Tyranny ErotiCake-which is seen to now have any defenses behind it. Commander Idris speaks to Faith, Grace as the many Superior Weapons behind him, saying-
Commander Idris Requiem
...Heh. We just have to get past those amateurs in the Tyranny ErotiCake, and then we can get to the Engine Blocks-
He says, confident that he can get past the Tyranny ErotiCake at this time. As he has his Divide draw it's Buster Sword, back in the Tyranny ErotiCake, Divitiya spots him and his friends approaching, but can't react in time to stop his advance-
Divitiya Iran
...That one again-
Perle Luisant
?!
Sabrina Madison
?!
Both Perle and Sabrina are still caught off-guard at the sudden situation as Divitiya says this, as she now realizes that the AA/RF Superior Weapons coming towards her and the others in the Tyranny ErotiCake are about to break through the line of defense that has gathered behind her. Regardless, she is still capable of doing something, as she then reacts-just as Commander Idris's Divide is upon her-
As Commander Idris's Divide flies toward the Tyranny ErotiCake from the front, Commander Idris moves his Divide as if he's about to strike at the front of the Tyranny ErotiCake, which would cut it in half. However, at the last second, he changes his trajectory, as he then has his Divide instantaneously rise upwards and then proceeds to attempt to slice downwards at the Tyranny ErotiCake. In that instant, both Perle and Sabrina are surprised, not being able to react in the slightest-
Perle Luisant
?!
Sabrina Madison
?!
Inside of Commander Idris' Divide, he speaks-
Commander Idris Requiem
You two were never capable of being my rivals, it seems...
Commander Idris says, content that this is the last he will see of either Perle or Sabrina. However, as the blade draws closer to the Tyranny ErotiCake, it's eyes are seen to glow-
Tyranny ErotiCake
!
An instant later, the Tyranny ErotiCake is seen to move in such a way that it instantly moves it's Buster Swords so that the backend of the swords are pointing that the Divide that Commander Idris is in. Another instant later-
"CLACK!"
Commander Idris Requiem
WHAT?!
With just a simple movement of its swords, the Tyranny ErotiCake now disarms the Divide that Commander Idris is moving, to which as the arm is flung away from the Divide, it's sword travels in space...and is then catched by Grace in her Divide-
Grace Nadir
...I got it!
Back with Idris, his Divide is now thrown off-balance, but he quickly regains control over it, as he, Faith and Grace then speed away from the Tyranny ErotiCake-along with most of the other Superior Weapons that were with them. As they go, Faith looks back at the Tyranny ErotiCake from her cockpit and says-
Faith Nadir
...Damn. What the hell was that?!
She asks, to which Commander Idris then tells her-
Commander Idris Requiem
Ignore it, Faith...I guess those pilots might've gotten a tad better since we last fought.
Commander Idris has to admit, as he, Faith and Grace then blast off-heading towards the back of Mainland, along with many more AA/RF Superior Weapons. While some get shot down, most make it through, to which back inside of the cockpit of the Tyranny ErotiCake, Perle and Sabrina are seen to have been the ones who just moved the Tyranny ErotiCake in the way it just moved-
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Now, both Perle and Sabrina are seen to have super-serious expressions on their faces, as they now look as if they are elite pilots. However, they soon regain their previous self's-
Perle Luisant
...! ...What? Did we just...move the Tyranny ErotiCake...?
Sabrina Madison
Ahh...
Perle asks, slowly regaining her usual composure, as Sabrina is still left in awe at what just happened. Behind them, Divitiya then beings to applaud the two, clapping-
"CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP"
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Now alerted to Divitiya, the two look behind them to see Divitiya, who now speaks-
Divitiya Iran
Bravo, you two. I'm actually impressed you were able to move the Tyranny ErotiCake like that just now.
Sabrina Madison
!
Surprised, Sabrina asks-
Sabrina Madison
...You mean...you weren't the one who just moved the Tyranny ErotiCake just now?
Divitiya replies with-
Divitiya Iran
No, Sabrina. I believe I did just say that I'd let you two remain the pilots of the Tyranny ErotiCake, did I not? With the power of Harmonics, you two simply "borrowed" my latent skills just now, to which you were able to fight more skillfully-if just for a brief moment.
Sabrina Madison
Ah...
Sabrina is left amazed, to which Perle then speaks-
Perle Luisant
...But...we weren't able to stop them from getting through our defense line...
Perle says, slightly disappointed at the fact. However, Divitiya then says-
Divitiya Iran
True. However, at least now that you two are getting used to using Harmonics correctly, you two should be able to fight properly now-without also injuring yourselves further.
Divitiya says, as by moving in a skilled manner, both Perle and Sabrina can avoid needless positions that would reopen their wounds much faster. Perle then says-
Perle Luisant
...You're right, Divitiya. Thanks.
Just after Perle says this, a comms sound goes out in front of her.
"Beep Beep"
Perle Luisant
!...It's from Heaven.
Perle says, as she then answers the comms. A moment later, Captain Heaven then springs fourth from a small hologram in between Perle and Sabrina. She then speaks-
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
...Perle? Sabrina? Divitiya? Can you three hear me?
Captain Heaven asks, to which Perle then replies-
Perle Luisant
Yes, Heaven! What's the matter?!
Captain Heaven now explains-while clearly fighting against the Tenebris Root at the same time. She says-
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
Some of the AA and RF Superior Weapons have just broken through the defensive line that we had established. I need you three, along with Cheese, Glitter, Teresa, Terese and everyone else to follow after them and stop them before they destroy the Engine Blocks of Mainland!
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
!
All three girls are now surprised. Captain Heaven continues-
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
If they destroy even just one of the Engine Blocks, then Mainland...the blast could tear a hole in the superstructure and suck everyone out into space!
Now understanding the severity of the situation, Perle and Sabrina brace themselves to head to the back of Mainland at once. They speak-
Perle Luisant
That...can't happen!
Sabrina Madison
What about all of the millions of people still living in Mainland?! Do the Ascension and RF want to kill everyone?!
Both Perle and Sabrina say, clearly concerned for the people who live in Mainland. Captain Heaven then puts some of their worries to rest by saying this-
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
I...am afraid that's just the reality of the situation, you two. The AA and RF are trying to destroy Mainland right now by damaging the Engine Blocks...however, there could be small possibility that the ensuing blast might not outright destroy Mainland instantly...
Perle Luisant
Really?!
Sabrina Madison
Is that true?!
Both Perle and Sabrina say, almost pleading with Captain Heaven. However slim the chance of such an outcome may be, Captain Heaven continues to speak-
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
...I don't...I can't say for certain, as this is new information that I've just learned. However, it's possible that should we fail to defend the Engine Blocks today, the aftermath could give us some time to get the civilians back onto the Saviour Ships. That is the most logical outcome that I can see in all of this at the moment-but still, you three need to get to the back of Mainland and stop the AA and RF from completing their mission.
While Captain Heaven cannot confirm or deny that the destruction of the Engine Blocks would or would not destroy Mainland, she does tell both Perle and Sabrina what they need to do right now. Immediately, Perle says-
Perle Luisant
Of-of course! We'll go right away!
Perle says, as she then has the Tyranny ErotiCake turn around. Just before she has it move, Sabrina then tells Heaven this-
Sabrina Madison
We'll stop them for sure, as now we are linked to Divitiya via Harmonics!
Back with Captain Heaven, she reacts with a hint of surprise, which then slowly turns to relief, as she then speaks-
Captain Heaven Risingstar
!...Excellent. I feel much more confident that you two will be able to hold your own against our enemies, now that Divitiya has whipped out the Tyranny ErotiCake's final trump card. I'll leave the situation in your hands, then.
After saying this, the comms between the two sides then cease. Perle and Sabrina then grit their teeth, as they then have the Tyranny ErotiCake blast towards the back of Mainland, to which the Divides belonging to Cheese, Teresa, Terese and Glitter then follow behind them-along with a large fleet of Confederation Superior Weapons.
-Chapter END-
