(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Promise of That Day)
Just then, a portal behind us appeared and we were being dragged through it. I was still inside the Divine Knight. The others notice Valimar's armor was golden, unlike the Auric. Valimar landed back on the outside entrance of the fortress. Valimar who held the Ebon Knight who was now lifeless and it became absorbed into Valimar. But after the portal dragged us back here, Ishmelga and I have entered a dark void, but I'm still connected to Valimar. I am batting Ishmelga. Rean and Valimar are unaffected by Ishmelga's malice as I am protecting them. But Ishmelga won't leave until I finish him. I will make sure that he will not possess Rean! And end his curse.
"Rean, Levi!" Alisa called.
"YES! They did it!" Juna exclaimed.
"You won!" Machias said.
"We're so relieved." Emma added.
"Seriously! You two always have to make us worry to very end, don't you?" Sara asked.
"Yeah, but I'm afraid we're not done yet." I replied within Valimar. "Look..."
We saw the Ebon Knight vanish away. But a clash of light and dark from Valimar. The Aura was gleaming with golden light but a dark aura was over it. It's the result of me and Ishmelga are now enter a battle.

"What's going on?" Venti ask In concern. "I sense both light and dark… fighting each other."
"I am fighting Ishmelga right now." I answered. "I am weakening his power and the curse with it. It won't be long before I vanished the curse of Erebonia for good. However… it seems that I am force to fight with Ishmelga in Eternal conflict."
"What?!" Class VII eye widen.
"Ishmelga is being too damn stubborn. But it won't be long before I-"
"How could it all have ended like this?" Alberich asked as he appeared. But he's all Transparent.

"Father?!" Alisa exclaimed as she approached him. "Wh-What's going on?!"
"I am not your father... and you will not see him ever again." Alberich answered. "This body was offered in service to the Ebon Knight. Thus, it shall vanish with it."
"No... You can't..."
Alberich turn to me "You got what you wanted Levi Sullivan. Rejoice in your victory over my demise. Rean Schwarzer. You and your Ashen Knight have won. The hate of the world is in your hands. Do with it whatever you wish."
"No, please..." Alisa begged but it's too late. Alberich disappeared.
"Hmph. Good ridden to that pest..." I muttered
(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Even if That Warmth is Small)
"Okay...This just might work." Rean said. "What do you think, Valimar? Can you make it?"
"Yes. All of the powers have converged in me." Valimar replied. "I am ready to become the Great One, and assist Levi and to defeat Ishemlga."
"RELINQUISH IT TO ME!" It boomed. "IT BELONGS TO ME! YOUR SOUL...YOUR ENTIRE BEING!"
"Annoying Pest!" I growled.
"So this is it. The being that ate away at Emperor Dreichels and my father." Rean said. "When the Ebon Knight was corrupted by malice, its logic system awoke as its own self-concious entity. Evil personified, it sought to become an almighty being, controlling humanity by spreading its curse. But now, it's been torn from its physical form and brought to our plane. Making this my one and only chance to destroy it for good."
I then realize what he means.
"Stop right there, Rean! Don't you dare sacrifice yourself for my sake!" I exclaimed.
"I can't allow you to forever be in an eternal conflict with Ishmelga. You won't be able to return back to us if this continues. This is the only way…"
"DON'T YOU DARE! ARE YOU GOING TO BREAK YOUR PROMISE?!"
"Th-There has to be another way for you both!" Machias stated
"I'm afraid... there isn't. I'm sorry, Levi." Rean said.
"Wha-!?" I gasped as I was suddenly being forced to reject. Valimar pushed me out of him as I was rolling on the ground.
"Levi/brother!" Juna and Venti rush to me,
I slowly open my eyes and then eye widen in shocked. Ishmelga's malice has consumed him. Hid body is black. And a eye was at Valimar's chest.
"With Levi Sullivan removed. His protection has been removed. Now we can breath through the atmosphere."
"You BASTARDS! SCREW YOU! And screw your BULLSHIT plan and eternal conflict, too!" Ash shout in rage and upset.
"Instructor... You're just joking right?!" Juna exclaimed
"No... No... It can't end like this..." Altina sound heartbreaking.
"Rean... Please... Don't leave us..." Alisa begged
"What a cruel man you are..." Musse sadden
"REAN! STOOP!" I shout as I reach out my hand.
But it was too late. Valimar jumped into the air. Flying into the sky. Crow got in Ordine and he pilled the Sword of the End. And then he flew up with Millium. No... He and Millium are leaving too?!
"Crow! Not you, too..." Ellot said in tears.
"Please! Don't go!" Alina begged as she reach out her hand
"Millium! I..." Jusis reach out his hand too in sadess.
"Sorry guys. We gotta go now." Crow said.
"Take care of yourselves everyone!" Millium waved.
"Don't worry. I promise we'll see each other again. Just be sure to tell everyone else goodbye for me." Rean said. "Thanks for everything guys. I'm so grateful for all the times we share together. Levi. I'm sorry that I had to break my promise. But remember I love you with all my heart. Take care!"
Then he, Crow and Millium fly to the atmosphere.
"REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" I shout with tears in my eyes as I reach out my hand.
(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Ai No Uta)
My scream fell to deaf ears. Rean, Crow and Millium went through the atmosphere. Soon a flash of white light appeared in the sky. Only to descend was golden feathers. We all let out our tears. My tears couldn't stop coming out as I covered my eyes. Then the golden feather fall on my head. I pick it up and I look at the sky.
"That damn idiot... All of it was for nothing." Liam said as he appeared with Master. And he look extremely mad. "Damn you Rean Schwarzer... This is the ending I was trying to prevent..." Then he turn to me. "Don't just stand there! Get up!"
I was shocked to hear him say that.
"Have you forgotten?! You are my Avatar! You are not bound by the chains of this world. Only you and Venti can bring that idiot back! Now go!"
He's right. Only Venti and I can.
"Yeah... You're right!" I said as I stood on my feet. I turn to my friend. "Everyone, Venti and I will be back! We're going to bring that idiot back with us! You can count on us! We won't do what Rean, Crow, and Millium sacrifice! We'll bring them back to us! No matter what!"
"Levi..." Alisa sniffed
"He's right..." Machias wipe his tears. "Only you two can bring him back. Wait, why can't you do it?"
"I can't interfere with the story of what Rean's fate is because of my position." Liam answered. "Only my Avatar can. That was the purpose of creating Levi and Venti in the first place. Now go! Before it's too late."
"Right!" I nodded.
"Got it!" Venti nodded
We begin to awaken our full power and then jump into the air.
"We'll being him back! Let's go Venti!" I said to my little brother.
"Yeah! Let's bring him back!" Venti nodded
Then we begin to head to the atmosphere. Rean Schwarzer... When I get my hands on you. I'm going to make you regret breaking your promise!
