-CHAPTER 32-
Written By
David Kenneth Lacey
Within the comet that has a gigantic frozen supermassive organism, a battle is being waged within the enormous structure.
"EXPLOUSIONS!"
As the scene zooms in closer, three specific Superior Weapons are seen to be being chased by the enemy Superior Variant through the ice at very high speeds. As they go, they head down deeper into the frozen landscape, as they desperately fire back up at the enemy chasing them from above.
"LASER GUNFIRE!"
"MISSILE FIRE!"
As the three Superior Weapons fire at the Superior Variant, it deflects all of their attacks by erecting a powerful beam barrier around itself.
"EXPLOUSIONS!"
"BEAM BARRIER!"
As the Superior Variant is reveled to be unharmed, Courtney and her friends react with shock at what they are seeing. The scene then moves to the insides of their cockpits.
Courtney Knighthood
Im...impossible!
Stella Aleister
Is that a new variant of Curtain Barrier technology?!
Loretta then speaks up from inside of her cockpit.
Loretta Rhazien
...Did the RF really design such an upgrade?!...GURK!
"EXPLOUSIONS!"
Suddenly, Loretta is hit by several lasers from the Superior Variant, as Courtney and Stella call out to her in concern.
Stella Aleister
Loretta!
Courtney Knighthood
Dammit! I won't make it in time!
She says, as several more lasers pummel into Loretta's Superior Weapon. The attacks destroy all of its limbs and also cripple the cockpit, enough to that Loretta disappears in a flash of light.
"FLASH OF LIGHT"
Loretta Rhazien
!
Followed by an explosion.
"EXPLOUSION!"
To which both Stella and Courtney can't believe their eyes, as they cry out at the same time.
Stella Aleister
LORETTA!
Courtney Knighthood
LORETTA!
A second later, the Superior Variant then drives itself downwards, while erecting it's beam shield in front of itself-like before. As it does, it slams head on into Stella's Superior Weapon, while Courtney's Superior Weapon manages to graze the side of the beam barrier.
"RAM!"
Stella Aleister
!
"EXPLOUSION!"
Then, as Courtney's Superior Weapon is knocked away, several more beam attacks pierce into her Superior Weapon, causing critical damage.
"BEAM ATTACKS!"
Courtney Knighthood
AAAAAAAH!
Then, the Superior Variant rises in front of the crippled Superior Weapon, to deliver one last beam attack directly to it.
"BEAM ATTACK!"
Courtney Knighthood
!
"EXPLOUSION!"
As this beam attack hits Courtney's Superior Weapon, it is sent crashing down backwards and slams into the ice below.
"SLAM!"
"CRACK!"
Courtney Knighthood
"..."
Courtney's eyes look as if she has been killed, along with her friends. However, by some miracle, all three are just barely alive, as around the area, the Liberty/Tyranny/President/Vice President ErotiCakes speed onto the scene. They have to weave through the ice below the crust of the comet, to which Perle and Sabrina cry out to Courtney and her friends.
Perle Luisant
Courtney?! Loretta?!
Sabrina Madison
Stella!? Answer us if you can hear us! Please!
As they cry out in concern over their comms, Courtney, Stella and Loretta do start to barely sound off, as their destroyed Superior Weapons lay in ruins and in defeat.
Courtney Knighthood
...guah...ah...
Loretta Rhazien
hah...ahhh...
Stella Aleister
ugh...ah...
As the three of them lay defeated in their exposed cockpits, Perle and Sabrina can at least hear that they are alive-through badly injured.
As they lay defeated, suddenly, a voice echos across the comms to the four remaining ErotiCakes.
Zelia Ascension (Open Comms)
OH HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO!
Perle/Sabrina/Divitiya
?!
Bijou/Chole/Isaac/Noah
?!
President Sacha Luisant
!...
Vice President Georges Luisant
!...
Now, the voice of Zelia speaks to them all-specifically Courtney, Loretta and Stella.
Zelia Ascension (Open Comms)
Be thankful, peasants! For we, Zelia and Yesenia, children of the Two Queens and future leaders of the Ascension have just delivered to you three the honor of being our first to be defeated by our hands! Be sure to remember us striking you down, as this was just the beginning of our demonstration today!
Bijou Luisant
!...
Inside of the Liberty ErotiCake, Bijou will subtly realize just how similar Zelia and Yesenia are to Perle and Sabrina-from over a month ago. Thus, she will speak.
Bijou Luisant
These two...they remind me so much of what Perle and Sabrina are like regularly...
To which Noah will reply.
Noah Maverick
Now that you mention it, I do see the resemblance. They were always going on about how they were our children, so others would think more highly of them...
And then, an enraged Perle and Sabrina will chime in on the comms.
Perle Luisant
HEEEEEY! I don't act anything like that brat does!
Perel whines, as the scene then moves over to the Tyranny ErotiCake's cockpit. Sabrina also quips.
Sabrina Madison
Same here! We are WAY more mature than she will ever be!
As they say this, since they are on an open comms with the Two Daughters, they too will also hear what they say about them, to which Zelia will look as if her pride has been stained by Perle's comments especially.
Zelia Ascension
!...Grr...that woman just called me a...brat...!
As Zelia takes the comment as a personal insult, Yesenia thinks to herself-much like Sabrina does regularly.
Yesenia Ascension
(Hmph...I like that girl. She tells it how it is.)
To which Zelia then shouts.
Zelia Ascension
MMMMGH! UUUAAAHHH!
Yesenia Ascension
!
Outside of the Superior Variant, it now turns to face the Tyranny ErotiCake, as Zelia's voice continues to shout over the comms.
Zelia Ascension
You there! Pilots of the Tyranny ErotiCake! Heed my words!
Perle Luisant
EH?!
Sabrina Madison
WHA!?
Divitiya Iran
!...
Zelia continues.
Zelia Ascension
Never before in my life have I been so insulted by the term "brat"! I'll have you know that me and my younger sister here are next in line to rule over the whole of the Ascension from Above!
Zelia Ascension
As such, you'd do well to give us the respect we inherited from birth! Bottom feeders such as yourselves are in the presence of future goddesses!
Now, inside of the three destroyed Superior Weapons, Loretta, Stella and Courtney all manage to laugh a little, as they state the obvious.
Loretta Rhazien
...ehahaha...
Stella Aleister
They...really are...
Courtney Knighthood
Just like Perle and Sabrina-ack!
They say, as they strain themselves in their ruined Superior Weapons.
Back inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake's cockpit, Perle and Sabrina both are seen again, and Perle then speaks..
Perle Luisant
Psh-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
As Perle laughs out loud, Zelia demands to know why she is laughing.
Zelia Ascension
Hey! What's so damn funny?!
Perle then explains.
Perle Luisant
Eheheheheh...you, a "goddess"?! HAH! That's the dumbest thing I've heard in MY life!
Zelia Ascension
W-WHAT!?
Perle Luisant
Over the past month, me and Sabrina have been trashed around by people stronger than us like crazy! I got my back sliced into; had my bones nearly break and suffered defeat after defeat from people that I thought were beneath me!
Sabrina Madison
Perle...?
Divitiya Iran
...This is quite mature of you to admit, Perle...
Both Sabrina and Divitiya will say, showing some surprise at the mature tone coming from Perle. She then finishes up by saying.
Perle Luisant
And after experiencing all of those events and learning from them with my friend Courtney, I can safely say that we would be better suited to ruling over the Ascension-due to having actual experience!
Zelia Ascension
W-what did you just say?!
Perle then says.
Perle Luisant
The Ascension would be ill-advised to put something as pitiful as yourself in charge, Zelia! You are no goddess-you are an idiot!
Zelia Ascension
GHK!
"GLASS SHATTERING"
Now, Zelia's mind will become that of glass, and it will shatter into a thousand pieces. With her pride destroyed for the first time, she will shiver violently in her seat.
Zelia Ascension
"Shivering"
Yesenia Ascension
!...
As Yesenia watches her older sister in front of her, Zelia will then start laughing like a crazed person.
Zelia Ascension
...Ehuhuhuhu...hahahahah...
Before activating the Superior Variant.
Superior Variant
!
And then saying.
Zelia Ascension
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, that's rich, coming from a stranger like you!
Zelia continues.
Zelia Ascension
Adults are all the same, after all! They think that just because they are older, they can do whatever they wish to those younger to them! Pushing their own ideals into their politics and making decisions that influence millions of people...you are all the SAME!
As Zelia shouts this, President Sacha and Vice President Georges will hear her as well and react.
President Sacha Luisant
!...
Vice President Georges Luisant
!...
They will continue to listen to Zelia, as she finishes up by saying.
Zelia Ascension
I've decided! I'll wipe you away with this power we have right now! All people who look down on those in authority will be vanquished from the world we will create!
Zelia says, as she then prepares to attack the Tyranny ErotiCake. Sabrina replies by saying.
Sabrina Madison
Bring it on! We'll show you everything that we've experienced!
As Sabrina shouts this, Perle then looks over to the Liberty ErotiCake and says.
Perle Luisant
Mother! Go and help Courtney and her friends get to safety! We'll take care of this idiot while you help them!
Bijou Luisant
Oh?!
Surprised from this coming from Perle, she will continue via her comms.
Perle Luisant (comms)
Don't worry, we have Sacha and Georges backing us up, too! Please, hurry!
Bijou Luisant
...Wow...was that really just from Perle just now...?
Still surprised, Noah will then speak to his wife.
Noah Maverick
It's almost as if those two became adults all of a sudden...
To which the scene then moves outside of the Liberty ErotiCake, which moves away from the Tyranny/President/Vice President ErotiCakes. The Tyranny ErotiCake charges at the Superior Variant, while the Liberty ErotiCake heads downwards to help Courtney and her friends.
"Scene Transition"
Elsewhere, on the planet Grissom, the inside of an unknown building will now be shown briefly. Here, a committee of familiar individuals in shadow will be seen watching the battle from a secret camera installed inside of the Superior Variant. Stanley is also present, as the people around him speak-while the battle plays out before them on a hologram.
"Battle on hologram"
?
...It would seem that our "present" to the Confederation is currently locked in combat at the comet.
One individual in shadows say, as another then speaks up.
?
Yes...those two girls are putting the "Zeidler" in danger fighting against so many Superior Weapons all at once. However, with the "time limit" device that we have on standby, we can immediately shut it down for the Confederation to seize it and analyze it for their own R&D divisions.
After this individual says this, Stanley will be seen to have this said device placed right in front on him on the table.
Stanley Wilber
...
"Device"
...
Now, he continues to watch closely for the most opportune time to press the button, as the battle continues between the Tyranny ErotiCake and Superior Variant.
"SCENE TRANSITION"
Back with the Tyranny ErotiCake, it will be seen to be putting up a valiant fight against the Superior Variant.
"CLACK!"
"SLASH!"
"SMASH!"
As the Tyranny ErotiCake and Superior Variant clash against each other, they both move at very high speeds. As this continues, inside of the Superior Variant, Yesenia speaks to her older sister, as another blow is delivered to the outside of the Zeidler.
"BASH!"
Yesenia Ascension
Grk!...Hey, Zelia?! I think it's time we put that Superior Weapon down like those other three!
Yesenia says, as she activates the tiara on her forehead. Zelia notices and then also activates the tiara on her head as well.
Zelia Ascension
Oh, good idea, Yesenia! I was so enraged that I nearly forgot about our "secret weapon"...!
Superior Variant
!
Now outside, the Superior Variant backs away from the Tyranny ErotiCake, just as it was about to attack with it's swords once more. The move will confuse Perle and Sabrina, who are briefly shown.
Perle Luisant
Eh?!
Sabrina Madison
What are they doing...?
Divitiya also mentions.
Divitiya Iran
!...Be on guard, Perle and Sabrina. Those two are about to get serious!
And nearby where the Tyranny ErotiCake is, both the President and Vice President ErotiCakes will land on a pillar of ice, as within, Sacha and Georges also react to the incoming threat.
President Sacha Luisant
...Those girls...
Vice President Georges Luisant
What are they up to...?
As they question what is about to happen, the Superior Variant now revels it's secret weapon.
Superior Variant
!
"Striker Units disconnecting"
Now, 12 Striker Units disconnect from the main body of the Superior Variant. As they fly around it, they will then all point directly towards the Tyranny ErotiCake, which will shock all three pilots within.
Perle Luisant
Wha...what the hell are those?!
Sabrina Madison
Parts of that Superior Variant...just disconnected from the main body?!
Even Divitiya shows some shock at the display, as she mentions.
Divitiya Iran
This is something that Francoise must become aware of...!
Before Zelia then speaks.
Zelia Ascension
EHAHAHAHAHAHA! Get a taste of the Striker units, WORMS!
"BEAM ATTACKS!"
As the attacks commences, the Striker units fly around in space and swarm all around the Tyranny ErotiCake. Seconds later, many beam attacks flood around the Tyranny ErotiCake, as it struggles to weave and dodge around the incoming attacks.
Tyranny ErotiCake
"EVADING!"
Inside, Sabrina and Divitiya can barely keep up with all of the incoming beam attacks, as they barely are able to inform Perle.
Sabrina Madison
Gh! Perle! There are three more of those things on our right!
Perle Luisant
EH?!
Just as Sabrina says this, several beam attacks come from the right-side of the Tyranny ErotiCake. Perle barely manages to maneuver the Tyranny ErotiCake away in time, just as Divitiya then says.
Divitiya Iran
Another six to our left! Move it, Perle!
Perle Luisant
NGH!?
Back outside, the Tyranny ErotiCake will begin to become overwhelmed by the increase of attacks, to which it will start to sustain some damage.
"MELTING!"
"EXPLOUSIONS!"
As the same time, both the President and Vice President ErotiCakes arrive into the fray and try to help the Tyranny ErotiCake by shielding it from the flurry of incoming beam attacks.
President ErotiCake Mk-II
"BLOCKING!"
Vice President ErotiCake Mk-II
"BLOCKING!"
As this happens, back inside of the cockpit of the Superior Variant, Yesenia then speaks up about the two new ErotiCakes protecting the Tyranny ErotiCake.
Yesenia Ascension
Hey, Zelia! Look at those two ErotiCakes protecting the Tyranny!
Zelia Ascension
!...Ah!
A moment later, a concentration of beam attacks push the Tyranny ErotiCake away-even with the President and Vice President ErotiCakes attempting to protect it. As the Tyranny ErotiCake flies backwards, inside, Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya all scream out from the shockwave.
"BEAM ATTACKS!"
Perle Luisant
AUUGUAHH!
Sabrina Madison
EEEEEEK!
Divitiya Iran
GHHRK!
"CRASH!"
As the Tyranny ErotiCake then crashes into the ice behind the two ErotiCakes. As they look behind them, Zelia then gets their attention by saying.
Zelia Ascension
You two...I've heard about you from my Grandmama back home. You are Sacha and Georges Luisant, of the former DIC country, correct?!
President ErotiCake Mk-II
!
Vice President ErotiCake Mk-II
!
With their attention, Zelia continues.
Zelia Ascension
I knew it was you two, even with those two machines looking different than what we've seen. Our Grandmama always talked about how cruel and ruthless you were towards her-especially when you had my mother kidnapped and held against her will...
President Sacha Luisant
Gh...
Vice President Georges Luisant
Rgh...
As Zelia points out her resentment towards the Luisant family, it will be clear that both Sacha and Georges feel some level of regret on their actions 18 years ago regarding their decision to kidnap Princess Media. Even though they did so only to further their goals, having them fail and then having to deal with the consequences now will weigh heavily on them, to which President Sacha then explains.
President Sacha Luisant
...You are right to hold resentment towards me and Georges here, as we are the ones who created that plan to begin with...
As President Sacha starts to explain himself, a brief shot of Bijou and her friends are shown landing nearby where Courtney and her friends crashed. Elsewhere, the Tyranny ErotiCake starts to emerge from the crater it created upon impact, as Vice President Georges then says.
Vice President Georges Luisant
We knew going into that plan that we might fail, but to do so in such a manner to cause the deaths of over a billion people...weighs heavily on us...
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Hearing this, both Perle and Sabrina will remember how these two reacted around them earlier, to which Divitiya will then mention.
Divitiya Iran
...Even still, you two only went through with that gamble because you cared for the future of every consumer on planet Gleen. That's what you told me again and again back then, Sacha...
Despite this, President Sacha will then say.
President Sacha Luisant
That's right, Divitiya. However, just as you said, it was all a gamble, and we lost...and so, I think it's time that we atone for what we allowed to happen-right here, in fact.
Vice President Georges Luisant
Agreed...
Perle Luisant
Eh?!
Sabrina Madison
What?!
Divitiya Iran
Sacha...Georges, too...?!
Now, as if against all sense or reason, both the President and Vice President ErotiCakes will present themselves directly to Zelia and Yesenia inside of the Superior Variant. As they do, they will hold out their arms in submission, to which Zelia will then inquire.
Zelia Ascension
!...What is this...?
President Sacha then explains.
President Sacha Luisant
It's as it seems, Zelia. You are free to shoot the both of us right now, as being killed by the children of the people we tormented is a fitting way to atone, I feel...
Bijou Luisant
Grk?!
Now, Bijou turns around while helping Courtney get up from her destroyed Superior Weapon. As she looks out towards the President ErotiCake, she then says to herself.
Bijou Luisant
This must've been what those two were worrying about earlier...!
Back with the Vice President ErotiCake, Vice President Georges also chimes in, saying.
Vice President Georges Luisant
...Before you shoot, just promise us that if you continue to militarize the Ascension from Above, you won't endanger the civilians that left and landed on Grissom. They have suffered enough pain already, and most of them are non-combatants, too...
As Vice President Georges says this, the Striker units then start to line up around the two ErotiCakes for an easy shot. Just before firing, Zelia speaks.
"Striker units"
!
Zelia Ascension
Oh, you two won't need to worry about that ever, as they can live out their lives on the opposite side of the planet-along with those "other" groups, too. The RF will be leaving Grissom anyway to recapture Gleen very soon, as they have some big plans for that entire planet...
President Sacha Luisant
!...
Vice President Georges Luisant
!...
As the two men take notice on this tiny mention from Zelia, the Striker units then charge up to fire.
"Striker units"
"charging"
And then fire.
"BEAM FIRE!"
As the beams shoot directly towards the President and Vice President ErotiCakes, just as the beams are about to pierce through their cockpits, back with the Tyranny ErotiCake, it engages it's Wings of Light, as Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya all react in perfect unison.
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
!
Tyranny ErotiCake
!
As the Tyranny ErotiCake blasts forward, it does so to then swing in front of the President and Vice President ErotiCakes, protecting them both from the incoming beam attacks.
"EXPLOUSIONS!"
As the Tyranny ErotiCake takes all of the incoming attacks, its back area is greatly damaged, while inside, the cockpit starts to erupt in flames and explosions. Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya are all caught up in the eruptions, as they scream out in agony and fear.
Perle Luisant
GUUAAAHHH!
Sabrina Madison
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Divitiya Iran
HGHHHH!
Immeadiatly, both Bijou and Chole watch, as they see the Tyranny ErotiCake start to erupt in flames.
Bijou Luisant
PERLE!
Chole Madison
SABRINA!
Isaac Carter
!
Noah Maverick
!
As everyone watches, President Sacha and Vice President Georges look on in horror and shock, as they realize what is going on in front of their very eyes now.
President Sacha Luisant
UGH...Perle?!
Vice President Georges Luisant
Sabrina! Divitiya!
They scream, as they have their ErotiCakes hold onto the nearly destroyed Tyranny ErotiCake.
Then, the scene will move back inside of the exploding Tyranny ErotiCake's cockpit, where Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya are surrounded by flames and cracked electronics. As this is shown, Perle and Sabrina start off with a heartfelt speech to both Sacha and Georges.
Perle Luisant
...heheh...Sacha-grk-...are you and Georges...alright...?
President Sacha Luisant
Perle! I...I'm sorry, I just-
Sabrina then cuts Sacha off by saying.
Sabrina Madison
If you-grk...if you really think...doing this will give you the peace you want for what your plans caused 18 years ago, then just let-ugh-...let us go...!
As Sabrina says this, she will try to move the Tyranny ErotiCake away from the President and Vice President ErotiCakes. However, Georges will stop her, while saying.
Vice President Georges Luisant
Stop it, Sabrina! You don't have to do this right now...
Just like that, the Tyranny ErotiCake then stops, as Divitiya then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
Heh...Perle and Sabrina can be quite selfish, Sacha...getting the Tyranny destroyed yet again is going to cause Francoise to get upset at us again...
Back inside of the President ErotiCake, light now starts to return to President Sacha's once dead eyes. As this occurs, he then explains.
President Sacha Luisant
!...It's alright, Divitiya. Don't worry about that. You three don't have to worry about anything, as we are the ones that will take responsibility for this...
As Sacha and Georges eyes are opened, they will realize that their desires to atone for what they allowed 18 years ago could've cost the lives of Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya. Realizing the error in their thinking, the two men will poise themselves to fight seriously now, but then, Zelia says this.
Zelia Ascension
Oh ho ho ho ho...do you two old men seriously think we'll allow for you to get back to the Confederation so easily?
Zelia says, as she and her sister move the Striker units closer to the trio. Then, back with Bijou and Chole, they speak.
Chole Madison
Of course we are going back, as Sacha and Georges are going to kick your little butt, Zelia.
Zelis Ascension
Eh?!
As Chole says this, Bijou then speaks to her father and Georges, saying.
Bijou Luisant
My father and Georges are not going to let our daughters die in a place like this, as if they do, then they will have a special "reward" delivered to them by me personally...
President Sacha Luisant
GH!
Vice President Georges Luisant
GUH!
Suddenly, both men suddenly have a chill go down their spines, as they can feel the chilly tone Bijou is using right now towards them. She continues.
Bijou Luisant
For the past 18 years, I've had to keep in all of my rage and anger, without any outlet. It's been difficult, but I think now I have two people who have forgotten how loud our "talks" used to be. This time, though, I'm sure they wouldn't want to see just how angry I can become...right?
President Sacha Luisant
!
Vice President Georges Luisant
!
Hearing this, both men will become afraid, as they sink into a darkness that is called "Bijou's rage". In this void, they will disappear into the darkness, until Zelia then speaks.
Zelia Ascension
HA! You can stay right there, lady, as these guys are finished!
Zelia says, as she then has all of the Striker units combine together into one giant cannon. Then, she has them all fire at the exact same time.
"Striker units"
FIRE!
As this tremendous beam travels through space, it will head directly towards the crippled Tyranny ErotiCake, President and Vice President ErotiCakes. As it makes contact, the three ErotiCakes will disappear in a large flash of light.
"EXPLOUSION!"
"FLASH OF LIGHT!"
As this occurs, Bijou and all of her friends with them will look at the ray of light, to which while some will be worried, Bijou will be defiant.
Isaac Carter
Sabrina!
Noah Maverick
Did they...did they not make it in time?!
Bijou Luisant
...
Then, as the light fades away, the Tyranny ErotiCake will be safely behind both the President and Vice President ErotiCakes.
Tyranny ErotiCake
...!
President ErotiCake Mk-II
...
Vice President ErotiCake Mk-II
...
With the two ErotiCakes protecting the Tyranny ErotiCake, it will now be shown that both the President ErotiCake and Vice President ErotiCake engaged their "super" modes, which will transform their entire bodies into the color of the American flag. With this power, the two ErotiCakes will have managed to stop the incoming beam attack, which will cause Zelia to say in disbelief.
Zelia Ascension
Im-impossible!
Her sister then says.
Yesenia Ascension
Zelia! I think we should retreat from here now!
While Zelia will consider, she will then refuse by saying.
Zelia Ascension
Uh...hey...don't be like that, Yesenia! We still have them outnumbered, remember?!
She says, as she then has the Striker units move around the President and Vice President ErotiCakes. A few seconds later, she then has them attack.
"Striker units"
BEAM ATTACKS!
As these incoming shots come towards both the President and Vice President ErotiCakes, they will engage their own Wings of Light, to which they will first move the Tyranny ErotiCake away from the battle. With them out of the way, they will then return to the battle with the Superior Variant, where they will start to destroy some of the Striker units.
President Sacha Luisant
HAAAAAAA!
Vice President Georges Luisant
DUAHHHHHHH!
"Explousions!"
With a few of them destroyed by their skill, the two men will have their ErotiCakes charge towards the Superior Variant itself. Desperate to push them back, Zelia will scream out in fear.
Zelia Ascension
EEEEEEEEEEK! Don't! Don't come any closer, monsters!
"Striker units"
BEAM ATTACKS!
Now, both ErotiCakes will duck and weave around the incoming attacks, as they fly straight towards the Superior Variant. Just before they are about to make contact to destroy it, Yesenia then says.
Yesenia Ascension
Zelia! Get us away from here!
Zelia Ascension
?!
Confused, Zelia won't be able to react in time, before the Superior Variant then comes to a complete and sudden stop.
Superior Variant
!..."shuts off"
President Sacha Luisant
Hm?!
Vice President Georges Luisant
What?!
"STOP!"
Having sensed that something was up with the Superior Variant, both President Sacha and Vice President Georges will stop their ErotiCakes just inches away from the cockpit of the Superior Variant. Upon doing this, the scene will transition back to the Foundation, where Stanley will now have his finger on a button from the device from earlier.
"SCENE TRANSITION"
"PRESS!"
Stanley Wilber
That's enough, Sacha and Georges. Afterall, you shouldn't break something that is intended as a "gift", anyway...
Just as he says this, the scene will transition back to the battle.
"SCENE TRANSITION"
Where inside of the Superior Variant, Zelia will be confused as to what just happened.
Zelia Ascension
...Yesenia...what is going on?!
Zelia says, as she fumbles with the controls. They are unresponsive, to which her sister then says.
Yesenia Ascension
It's...almost as if we just ran out of power...
Zelia Ascension
That can't be! These things don't run out of power!
Zelia whines, as outside, President Sacha and Vice President Georges contemplate on what to make of this situation.
Vice President Georges Luisant
...What are those two girls up to in there...?
President Sacha then says.
President Sacha Luisant
!...Georges. Help me bring this thing back to the White Block above...!
Vice President Georges Luisant
Hm...!
"CRASH!"
Suddenly, from much further above, the White Block will manage to smash its way through the ice. As it descends, the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite will also be visible-but due to their size they won't descend down into the ice. Even the White Block is too large, but it will be able to get a short distance below, before scrapping against some of the ice nearby.
"SCRAPPING!"
"CRACKING!"
As it comes to a stop, Sebastion and Cesario then say on the open comms.
Sebastion Luisant
...Finally, we were about to get through all of that ice up top...
Cesario Luisant
Is everyone alright?!
Cesario asks, as President Sacha replies.
President Sacha Luisant
We'll be taking this thing inside of the Hydra Noon, while helping Perle and her friends get back to the White Block. We can then discuss this thing in more detail then, boys...
He says, as he goes back to pick up the Tyranny ErotiCake. Georges has his ErotiCake move the Superior Variant upwards, while Bijou in the Liberty ErotiCake rejoins them, while also carrying the three ruined Superior Weapons that belonged to Courtney and her friends.
After all of this is shown, time moves on.
"SCENE TRANSITION"
Later on, the Superior Variant is then about to be brought into one of the Hydra Noon's many hangers. As this is happening, Captain Phillip and Arbiter Robin are both present and waiting, while both are given a full report of the creature encased in the sheet of ice. They then start talking.
Arbiter Robin Blue
...This comet isn't actually just a giant ball of ice of rare metals, but a supermassive organism encased in a thick ice shell. It's length is roughly the size of a city, though once we inform Francoise about this discovery, it should still fit inside of Mainland for transport to Schirra.
Captain Phillip Kai
That's a goot amount of information about this thing...though, I thought I also heard something about those horns sticking out from it's body...?
Captain Phillip asks, to which Robin then explains.
Arbiter Robin Blue
Ah, yes. We noticed a broken horn that was loosely connected thanks to the ice up top and brought that onto Heaven's ship not too long ago. While more findings are coming in as we speak, what I've heard so far details that this creature had these horns "impaled" into it from other beings, and that they then got stuck and are what we see now.
Captain Phillip Kai
So, all of those horns aren't actually from this creature, but rather spears that could've been responsible for it's death?
Arbiter Robin Blue
That's not conclusive just yet, but we'll know more as we drag this thing back to where the Confederation is soon. The White Block is just about to leave for Schirra, too, so is there anything you want to say to them before they leave?
Captain Phillip Kai
...No. They should be fine with the materials we gave to them earlier, so we'll just focus on detaining those two girls and get a move on.
Arbiter Robin Blue
Of course.
After this conversation, Captain Phillip will then leave the debriefing room, which now leads to the hanger. Here, a bunch of soldiers are standing in front of the Superior Variant, to which as Captain Phillip and Robin decend down to be with them, Captain Phillip speaks.
Captain Phillip Kai
Everyone! Make sure you don't harm the pilots inside, as I heard from Sacha that these two are royalty. As such, I think you two can come out now...
Superior Variant
...!
"Cockpit opening!"
Soldiers
!
With Phillip's words, the cockpit then opens, reveling both Zelia and Yesenia. Both are unarmed, to which Yesenia then speaks to her older sister.
Yesenia Ascension
C'mon, Zelia. Let's get on out of this thing and let these men take us to a holding cell-or whatever they do in the Confederation.
Zelia Ascension
Grk...fine, I'm coming out now...
While Yesenia is clearly the person who opened the cockpit, Zelia will be furious and pouts a lot as she climbs out first-followed by her younger sister. As the two girls come up to the soldiers, Captain Phillip then speaks to them first.
Captain Phillip Kai
Wow...when I heard that the pilots of this thing were young women, I had no idea we'd be speaking to the children of Media and Azalea...
Yesenia Ascension
!
Surprised, Yesenia asks.
Yesenia Ascension
You there...did you actually know our mothers from somewhere...?
Captain Phillip Kai
Not directly, though Bijou did get to meet with your mother and Fayola 18 years ago. She and her friends were piloting the Liberty ErotiCake against you, if I recall.
Yesenia Ascension
...
Satisfied, Yesenia falls silent, as her sister then asks.
Zelia Ascension
...What about...the Tyranny...who are the pilots...?
Zelia is reluctant to ask this question, but Phillip goes ahead and replies, saying.
Captain Phillip Kai
You mean Perle? She's the pilot of that machine...
Zelia Ascension
!...Perle...
Now knowing Perle's name, Zelia will not forget her name, as Phillip then says.
Captain Phillip Kai
...Anyway, you two will now be taken under our custody and this Superior Variant will be analyzed by our staff just over there. Don't worry-we won't treat you badly and you will be released back to the Ascension, as the last thing we need is for the combined might of Ascension and RF to come crashing down on top of us right now.
Yesenia Ascension
Are we going back to the Confederation, sir?
Captain Phillip Kai
Yes. Though, if you have anymore questions, I'll have to ask for you to wait, as the staff over there needs to get started looking into this Superior Variant.
Yesenia Ascension
Then, you'll need these tiaras, as they are what we used to control those Striker units.
Zelia Ascension
!?
Surprised that Yesenia would so willingly hand over such information, Zelia asks.
Zelia Ascension
Yesenia...shouldn't we have kept that information a secret...?
Yesenia Ascension
These people are going to find the manual you read earlier and read about how these tiaras are used to control the Striker units via thought soon enough. Handing this over to them now ensures we can guarantee our safety, which is something my mother asked of me before I came along on this journey with you.
Zelia Ascension
...Still...
Phillip then says.
Captain Phillip Kai
You have my word, little ladies. You will not be harmed-even if you didn't come out with this information. My soldiers here will not do anything to harm you, as your stay will be quite luxurious with us..."wink"
Yesenia Ascension
!
Yesenia blushes slightly as Phillip winks at her. His soldiers then move to take away Zelia and Yesenia, as the chapter then ends with the researchers moving in to take a closer look at the Superior Variant.
