Back on the Monoceros, Robyn and Lilika were about to be let out of the ship by Akhos and Patroka. They were let out by a dock with an opening right outside the tree. Robyn and Lilika were amazed beyond belief to see the inside of the tree. It was exactly what Cole told them back at Uraya. There was technology beyond their dreams.

"Amazing!" Robyn yelled.

"It's…incredible." Lilika said as she held Akhos's arm, causing him to look at her.

"Now then, get to it." Patroka demanded while they reached the inside of the tree where two terminals were waiting.

Robyn was the first to access the one on the left. He placed a hand on the terminal.

"Voice activation required." It spoke.

"Robyn!" He yelled, causing the terminal to ding.

"Welcome back. Daredevil." It spoke again.

Lilika reached the one adjacent from Robyn and placed a hand on it.

"Voice activation required." It spoke.

"Lilika!" She yelled.

"Welcome back. Cautious Flower. Profile update complete." It spoke to her.

"Nice. Things are looking up." Akhos said with a smile.

"We got what you want, now what?" Robyn asked when they turned towards them.

"Now it's time for me to protect you two!" A familiar voice yelled out from around them.

"Huh!?" Lilika yelled in shock.

"What the?" Patroka yelled while they looked around. Just then, a metal door slammed between them, cutting them off from Robyn and Lilika. "NO!" Patroka screamed as she started banging on the door.

Akhos activated an earpiece he was wearing.

"Jin! This is Akhos! We lost Robyn and Lilika!" He yelled.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Jin shouted from the other line.

"Some artificial intelligence system activated and cut us off from them. We're making our way back to the Monoceros." Akhos said.

Back with Robyn and Lilika, they stared at the metal door.

"What? What happened?" Lilika asked.

Just then at one of the terminals, a hologram of a woman emerged. She was a human A.I that's wearing a tight suit with grey shirt that has a V-neck with a choker above it. Her pants were darker and were tucked underneath a pair of knee length high heel boots. Her skin was pale, her grey hair was long that was in ponytail. Her grey eyes were lighter, and she had a very warming smile. Throughout her body, she had lines that had electric currents flowing around her.

"Surprise!" She yelled, startling them.

"GALEA!?" Lilika shouted.

"It's been too long!" Galea yelled.

'So wait…that would mean…' Lilika was thinking.

"Galea, you have no idea how happy I am to see a familiar face!" Robyn said with glee.

"So much time has passed. But…how is this possible? How are you like this?" Lilika asked.

"Well buckle up because this is gonna get weird. Before things started to get out of hand, I dumped my brain into the main control system deep inside the tree. Not sure what has become of my body afterwards, but I sure got a hunch. Over time, my brain and the machine mutated and evolved. About 1500 years ago, I finally became an artificial intelligence, or A.I for short, with a form until about 500 years later. I studied this Alrest and saw that the last bit of earth is literally down the Great Void, the Land of Morytha. The best part is that I have access to just about ALL of the station. I am now a Giga-Artificial-Lecturing-Experimental-Astro unit, codename: G.A.L.E.A at your service." She explained before giving a slight bow.

"So, what do we do?" Lilika asked.

"Well first things first. I have a couple things to give you two." Galea said before a pair of keycards and nametags popped out of the system. "You'll need these keycards, and nametags." Galea added.

They took them and inspected them. What they didn't expect was what was written on the tags.

"WHAT…!? This is…!" Lilika yelled with her eyes wide.

"No way…" Robyn said.

"Ms. President. Mr. Vice President. Welcome back." Galea said proudly.

"P…presi…dent…?" Lilika asked while processing all that was happening.

"Seems like you have a purpose now Lilika! How does it feel?" Robyn asked with a smirk on his face.

"Honestly…I'm still processing this. What good will this do in the long run?" Lilika asked Galea.

"Many things. I'll fill you in later. But next, I have a message from a former president of our country before everything went wrong." Galea said before showing another hologram of their former president.

"Robyn Stargrass. Lilika Brown. Operation: Green Aura is to begin upon awakening. You are humanity's final hope of restoring this world now that the tree has gained enough power to restore her. Our families, despite all that has transpired, knew that you would survive and live on, and carry on all of our legacies. We will put our faith…in your hands. Good luck children, we are all counting on you." The president said until the message faded.

"So…we're in charge of the World Tree…a space station used for research. Our families really knew we'd survive?" Lilika asked.

"Robyn helped design the pods and perfected them. So in plain talk…indeed." Galea said.

"We really have no one left to return to…no homes to live in. What are we to do now?" Lilika asked.

"Let's see if we can contact anyone from one of the kingdoms. Mor Ardain perhaps?" Robyn suggested.

"Yeah." Lilika said.

Back at Mor Ardain, the group had returned to hop aboard a ship to the Cliffs of Morytha. Just as they were making their way towards the harbor behind the palace, a captain came running towards them.

"Lady Mòrag and Brighid! It's Robyn and Lilika…they're making contact from the World Tree!" The captain yelled.

"What!? They have!? So, they're there now." Brighid said while the gang was getting happy.

"They are currently speaking with His Majesty." The captain said.

"Take us there immediately!" Mòrag demanded.

"Yes ma'am! To His Majesty's chambers!" The captain said as they took off for the palace.

As they were making their way up an elevator to Niall's chambers, Robyn and Lilika's Blades, along with Mòrag, were a bit twitchy. Knowing that they are at the World Tree was proof enough that they were alright.

When they entered, they saw Niall talking to them on a monitor.

"We're so relieved to see you, your Majesty." Lilika said.

"The pleasure is ours." Niall said when the group joined them.

"Robyn!? Lilika!?" Zeke yelled when they faced the monitor.

"Guys!" Robyn yelled happily.

"So glad to see you!" Lilika yelled as well.

"Nia, I see you're using your Blade form now. Looking good." Robyn said while noticing her new look.

Lilika took noticed on her appearance. What stood out to her was the crystal on her chest, confirming Robyn's words.

"HUH!?" Lilika shouted while looking closer at her.

"I used this form when I saved him yesterday." Nia said.

"We'll tell you later. Are you alright? Is Pyra there?" Rex asked them.

"No. Unfortunately, she's with Malos and Jin at the Cliffs of Morytha. If you are going to reach us…you'll have to go through the Great Void down to the Land of Morytha, the remnants of our world." Robyn said to them with a serious tone.

"I feared as much…" Mòrag said while looking away a bit.

"When we got here, we were given much access to our final project to restore the world." Lilika said.

"That's great! Shall we inform the Praetor about this?" Niall asked while getting out of his seat.

"No." Robyn said without any form of hesitation.

"Why shouldn't we?" Nia asked.

"The Driver of Malos is secretly dangerous. Think what he could do if he was here." He said to them, causing them to think about it.

"No, no he wouldn't…" Jacu said when she realized more of where her Driver was going with.

"He most certainly will. Think about what I told you after we met Amalthus. It makes sense that he's got a dark heart." Lilika pointed out.

"Alright. We're heading for the Cliffs a Morytha now. And save Pyra." Rex said.

"Beware though. The Land of Morytha leads to the unknown. Who knows what you'll see down there." Robyn said.

"Good luck." Lilika said.

"Oh, and one more thing. Expect turncoats from Torna. Akhos and Patroka specifically. No promises though." Robyn pointed out.

"Those guys!?" Rex yelled in shock and confusion.

"Well…they DO have crushes on us, after all. What do you expect after us being with them for two days?" Lilika asked.

"Patroka has a…WHAT!?" Mòrag exploded in rage.

"INQUISITOR! Relax!" Niall demanded while glaring at her.

"She kissed him, and you won't believe how enraged Mikhail was at him! I had to distract him with a question about his Core Crystal to keep him from destroying Robyn. Turns out, Mikhail is a Blade Eater." Lilika said.

"I'm gonna kill her." Mòrag growled.

"He's like me?" Zeke asked while stepping forward.

"Say what?" Lilika asked with a raised eyebrow as more question was about to be processed from what Zeke asked her.

"Tell you later." Zeke said.

"Good luck guys. Robyn and Lilika out!" Robyn said before stopping the call. "Well, that went well." He said.

"Yeah." Lilika said.

"They may need help to get here. Galea, you got any ideas?" Robyn asked her.

"Glad you asked. I have several plans up my circuitry of sleeves." Galea said with a smirk.

"What should we do in the meantime? Just wait?" Lilika asked.

"Perhaps, but I can show you what we can do here. As for their help…I think an Artifice ought to help." Galea said while accessing the system.

Robyn and Lilika were surprised when she brought up 'Artifice.' Robyn began to think of what other kind of Artifices they may have.

"Like Pyra's Ophion or Mythra's Siren?" Lilika asked.

"Yes. Readying Siren." Galea said as a monitor of a Siren was shown and was going through an inspection.

"So…we have an Artifice, too? Does that make us Aegises?" Lilika asked.

"Lots of them. But no, you are not an Aegis. That's Logos and Pneuma." Galea said while she was in the system.

Robyn and Lilika froze for a moment. Logos and Pneuma? Those were names that they haven't heard before.

"Are those the Aegises real names?" Lilika asked.

"I'm a bit confused here. Logos and Pneuma?" Robyn asked.

"They are the Aegises names. You may know them when you see these." Galea said while showing an emerald and amethyst crystals in the shape of a cross.

"How come we know them as 'Malos' and 'Mythra?'" Lilika asked herself.

"Not sure. Perhaps…the Architect may know." Robyn said while looking upwards.

"Well in any case, we have plenty of time on our hands. Robyn, why don't we research and learn about things like Alrest's customs, holidays, and even why they happen while we wait?" Lilika suggested.

"Good idea." He answered.

"I'll have a station for you two a floor above us. In the meantime, I have preparations to make for our defenses. Oh! And Lilika and Robyn…I missed you both so much." Galea said after she reemerged from the system.

"We missed you too." Lilika said. Just then, their stomachs began to growl. "Oh! I guess Akhos forgot to make us lunch before we left." She said while holding her stomach.

"Tell you what…how about a taste of nostalgia with some of your favorites in the station?" Galea offered.

They both gasped when Galea mentioned the word 'nostalgia.'

"YES PLEASE!" Lilika squeaked with happiness.

Meanwhile, now that gang had gotten themselves ready, they hopped aboard a ship smiled by the finest sailors in Mor Ardain. It took some time, but they finally reached a shoreline at the rear of the rotten Titan.

They passed by a shop that did have a few good items that would come in handy for the long run. Afterwards, they looked further beyond.

"So these are the Cliffs of Morytha." Rex said.

"A rotting Titan, drifting aimlessly until death takes it." Mòrag said.

"Wow…of all the places…" Vale said.

"I just remembered. Malos mentioned this place once. It's a shortcut to the World Tree." Nia said.

"Make sense." Azurda said.

"Let's push on. Pyra is definitely somewhere ahead!" Rex said. Just then, he hunched over and clenched his heart as pain shot through him.

"Rex, are you OK?" Azurda yelled in concern. Rex was struggling to say, but the pain was stopping him. "Rex!?" Azurda yelled again.

"I…I'm…fine…" Rex was struggling to say while still holding his chest.

"Could it be…Pyra is in trouble?" Azurda asked.

"I don't know. But we have to hurry. I have a bad feeling about this." Rex said while looking ahead.

"We must hurry then! Let us make haste!" Mayonaka yelled.

"Best keep eyes on Rex." Corvin said.

"What are we waiting for?" Floren asked.

"Truthfully…a miracle." Perun said as they ran off to reach their destination.

They saw how much closer they were at the World Tree. Not only that, but the Great Void was also viewable along the way. Unfortunately, getting to where they needed to go was easier said than done. They ran into a lot of powerful monsters along the way, but they still pushed on. Not to mention a few obstacles they had to deal with.

After too long, they finally reached a pair of doors that'll lead further…with Malos standing there with his amethyst Core Crystal shining on his chest. He also was now wielding a new sword…a Monado.

"You're finally here. I've been expecting you." Malos said with a smile.

"Malos." Nia hissed.

"Where are our Drivers!?" Mayonaka asked.

"Trapped inside the World Tree, according to Jin. What's it to you?" Malos asked her.

"Robyn and Lilika's Blades need them, Malos!" Nia yelled.

"Your Core Crystal…so you finally gave up your little human act. Are you looking for your place in this world? Or are you just a fickle child who doesn't know what she wants?" Malos asked her, causing her to scoff at him.

"Where's Pyra!?" Rex demanded as he stepped forward.

"Hell if I know. She's probably dead by now." Malos said like he doesn't have a care in the world.

"I'm alive. She's alive." Rex corrected him.

"Think whatever you like. But don't be mad at me. All I'm doing is reclaiming what was stolen from me. You're never gonna see he again. Heh! You make me laugh; you know that? Look at you. That salvager brat I picked up at Argentum. Standing here with the gall to challenge me?" Malos asked them.

"Someone's gotta! We're not gonna lose to the likes of you!" Rex yelled.

"Theory, you ready to do this for your Driver?" Praxis asked.

"Indeed sister! Everyone stand together!" Theory yelled.

"We have no choice but to destroy you now once and for all, Dark Overlord Malos!" Mayonaka yelled while pointing at him.

Malos activated his Monado. Dark aura began to flare out of it.

"You did well to make it this far. But…you end here…boy!" Malos yelled as he aimed the sword underneath them.

A dark energy ball began to form underneath them.

"SCATTER!" Corvin shouted as they got out of the way. The ball created a crater after it faded.

"MEHMEH!" Tora yelled as he fell off the ledge where the energy was at.

"Tora!" Rex yelled.

"Masterpon!" Poppi yelled as she dove and rescued Tora…from only a ten-foot fall.

"Agh! What the hell is this!?" Zeke yelled as he charged in at Malos. He swung his sword right at a barrier Malos created, and his sword began to disintegrate. "ACK!" Zeke shrieked and got away to keep his sword from dissolving.

"Watch it, Shellhead! Malos's power will destroy anything it touches. It'll take your arm, or your head right off!" Nia yelled.

"What!?" Zeke yelled with fright.

"What do we do?" Rex asked.

Malos began to chuckle.

"Poor helpless, little, maggot!" Malos yelled as he caused the barrier to expand, and it was about to hit Zeke.

"ZEKE!" Everyone shouted.

Just then, a water barrier formed around Zeke, protecting him.

"Whoa!" Zeke said from the barrier, and his sword was being restored.

Malos glared at Nia.

"Nia! You!" He yelled in anger.

"Nia!" Rex yelled at her.

"I should have used this power earlier. But I was afraid. Afraid to go back to those days…lives have been lost…because I was afraid. Bus someone taught me that I don't have to be afraid. Now I get it! My life has a purpose! Your power might destroy, Malos, but my power restores. As long as my friends have the will to live, that's all I need! There is no wound you can inflict that I cannot heal! Blade weapons too! They were born from us and can be healed just the same. Rex! Everyone! It's time to end this!" Nia yelled while looking back at Rex with a smile.

"Agreed!" Perun yelled.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Malos yelled as he charged towards Nia.

"Don't you know when to give up, Malos!?" Nia yelled as she took the scimitar and ran towards Malos.

When their swords connected, each side created a barrier of their element.

"Gah, that's an annoying power!" Malos yelled.

"So sorry! You've gotta be stopped. You're a menace to the entire world!" Nia said.

"Is that so? Oh you sweet-talker, Nia." Malos said before pushing her away back to the gang. Don't you see how weak you are? Heal all you want, but you can't even scratch me. Where are your claws, kitty?" Malos asked her.

"Racist!" Jacu yelled.

"Hmph! Very well. Then I'll show you! Rex Help me out!" Nia said to him.

"OK! Rex yelled as he took the scimitar that she was holding, and they forced it up.

The sword began to channel a powerful wave of water. A burst of ether flowed through it. Rex then took it and charged at Malos.

Malos slammed the Monado down onto the ground, causing a blast of dark energy to stop him, however Rex jumped over it with ease. Rex and Nia used their powers to channel the ether through the scimitar. They shrieked when Rex fired the wave of water at Malos. He swiped it, causing the waves to turn into balls of water hovering around him.

"What? Is that it?" Malos asked as the water penetrated his body. "I hardy felt it." He spoke. Just after he said it, he felt his body pulsating…literally. He groaned in pain and clenched his body.

"What the hell!?" Vale yelled as she eyes shrank.

"What's happening!?" Wulfric roared.

"Nia…wh-what have you done to me!?" Malos struggle to ask as Nia waked next to Rex.

"I altered the replication rate of your body's cell. Even an immortal Blade is made from the same stuff as any other being. I used that to my advantage." Nia said.

"Gah…this is why…Jin recruited you. He saw that power!" Malos yelled while barely eyeing her.

"Who knows? Why don't you ask him yourself?" Nia asked before her powers began to cause Malos to shout in pain while it squirt purple blood out of his body and forcing him backwards towards a ledge. "I've just got one thing to say to you. The place where I belong...is right here." Nia finished.

"NIAAAAAAAAA!" Malos screamed one last burst from his body sent him backwards from the ledge and he fell. Nia stepped towards the ledge and saw him lying on another cliff beneath covered in blood and wasn't moving.

"See ya." Nia said with a satisfied smile.

Finch then joined her and saw him. She then faced towards the other while Nia returned to them.

"He fall down go BOOM!" Finch exploded as she jumped, and feathers molted from her body.

"Well that takes care of him. Let's get to Pyra now." Corvin said.

"Right!" Mayonaka yelled.

They went further down the pathway that led towards the cliffs that the Titan was known to have. It wouldn't be long until they reached a stone gateway.

"Oh great! Another doorway we got to worry about." Jacu complained while they looked up at the door.

"Shall Finch take care of it?" Finch asked while raising her hammer.

"I…suppose?" Jacu said while taking a few steps back.

"Here I go!" Finch yelled before charging at the door and slammed her hammer onto it. Unfortunately, it bounced off of it and nailed her right in the face. "Finch goes boing-oing!" Finch yelled while she was sitting down looking dizzy and she saw small Turkins marching above her.

"You okay Finch?" Jacu asked, only to get a nod from her when she came around.

"Hmm…I'll be back." Roc said as he took off and landed on a ledge above them. "Aha!" He yelled as he pulled a lever, opening the doors.

"Thank you!" Agate said.

They ran through and went towards the cliff. They saw Jin facing a couple of artificial Blades.

"Pyra!" Rex yelled. Jin turned around and presented Pyra unconscious and being held by the droids. "P-Pyra?" Rex yelled as they stopped dead in their tracks.

"Pyra!" Kasandra yelled.

"Is…lovely Lady Pyra…? If Lord Rex is still here, she must be alive as well." Mayonaka said while looking at both Rex and Pyra.

"Ah, you missed the highlight. We already have everything we need from her." Jin said while facing them.

"Jin! What did you do to her?" Rex asked as his anger grew.

"I already told you. I'm just trying to get back what was stolen from me five centuries ago." Malos's voice spoke from behind, startling them.

"Malos! You're alive!" Nia yelled with shock, processing all that has happened.

"What's it gonna take for you to stay down for the count?" Praxis demanded.

"More than that. You didn't think you could put me down that easily, did you? I am an Aegis. Don't you underestimate me. I can't believe you fell for that." Malos said while walking around them to join Jin.

"You did this to her!" Rex yelled.

"She betrayed herself as an Aegis, forming a bond with a piece of human trash. Do you really want this useless husk? Go ahead and take it!" Malos yelled as he took Pyra from the artificial Blades and threw her towards them.

"Pyra! Pyra!" Rex yelled as he rant o her and held her.

"You're a sick man!" Vale snapped at him.

"Anybody else fell like punching this prick in the face right now!?" Corvin asked with anger.

"Rex…" Nia said while feeling guilt flowing through her.

"Rex-Rex.." Tora said while feeling the same.

Rex slowly put Pyra down and stood up. His anger grew once again.

"Nia…" Rex growled a bit.

"Got it." Nia said while joining him.

"You will pay dearly for your actions against her, Dark Overlord Malos. Lady Mòrag, you may Drive me if you desire." Mayonaka offered to the inquisitor.

"Considering it." She said.

"Dromarch, take care of her." Rex said to him.

"Understood." He said as he approached Pyra and took her to a safe spot.

"What's this? I thought you'd be bawling and charged at me. What a big boy." Malos said.

"Stupid." Rex whispered when he stopped in front of them.

"Eh?" Malos asked.

"I was stupid. I didn't understand Pyra and Mythra's feelings. I waked in the shadow of the Aegis's light. I was so blinded by walking my own path, I never realized she walked alone." Rex said while looking up at the tree.

"What are you blathering about? If you got something to say, I'll give you the time of day since you made it this far." Malos said.

"We're gonna crush you into oblivion and take Pyra and Mythra to Elysium!" Rex yelled.

"Corvin, you're on Lord Rex…Perun, Lord Prince Zeke. Mistress's and Lord Robyn's Blades will temporarily need Lord Rex, Lord Zeke and Lady Mòrag as our Drivers." Mayonaka said.

"Theory, ready? Let's all take them down!" Praxis yelled.

"Yeah!" Theory yelled.

"Hah! Crush us? Me and Jin? You couldn't take Jin on your own! And on top of that, I've regained control of all my Aegis power! Not to mention the Artifices! You're doomed, boy." Malos said.

"I understand now. What Pyra and Mythra wanted. And I also understand what I have to do to make it happen! What it means to be Driver and Blade!" Rex yelled with a new serious look, causing Jin to gasp a bit.

"Well said Rex." Corvin said.

"Everyone, stand with me one more time! Let's get Pyra back and go to Elysium!" Rex yelled when they readied their weapons.

"Got it!" Agate yelled.

"Ready!" Floren yelled.

Meanwhile back at the World Tree, Robyn and Lilika saw the fight break out from underneath them. Robyn was angered that this was happening since Malos and Jin harmed Pyra so much.

"Just then, Galea appeared by them on a terminal.

"Siren is ready." Galea said.

"Acknowledged. Authorization approved to commence activation." Lilika said.

"Right!" Galea said while activating Siren.

"Do not delay. Launch it immediately." Robyn ordered.

Galea activated the Artifice Siren from above the World Tree. It's targeting systems were locked on and it began its descend.

"Siren is on the move. Estimation time of arrival, two minutes." Galea said.

"Robyn, let's try to find other ways to help them." Lilika said.

"Right!" Robyn said while heading back inside. Eventually, they found a solution while doing some digging around for options. "Looks like we have a hanger above us that has Artifice Colossi. Maybe we can use them to help the others if things get too ugly." Robyn said while looking at the monitor that had an Artifice Colossus.

"They're dusty, but they can fight and protect." Galea said.

"Sounds good." Lilika said.

"Two should suffice." Galea said while they were being activated.

'Rex, Mòrag, everyone…just hold on for a little longer.' Robyn thought to himself while starring our into pace.

"Let's do this." Lilika said.

Back with the others, they continued to fight Malos and Jin.

"How can you be here, Dark Man?" Finch asked while swinging her hammer at him, only for him to dodge effortlessly.

"As I told you, you little chicken wing. I am an Aegis!" Malos yelled while attacking her, but was intercepted by Mòrag.

"Not today, you boyfriend stealing bastard!" She yelled while fighting back.

"Lady Mòrag!" Mayonaka yelled while tossing her weapon to her. Mòrag quickly tossed her swords to Brighid, and used her halberd. "Ready!" Mayonaka yelled while transferring ether to her.

"Rex! Catch!" Corvin yelled at Rex while tossing him his black sword.

Rex caught it and began duel wielding them to fight Jin.

"Zeke! Go time!" Floren yelled.

"Let's follow it up with a classic game of dodgeball!" Zeke yelled when he chucked it right at the back of Malos's head.

"Lavender Drive!" Floren yelled while he took the Bitball and kicked it at Malos three times, this time in the face.

"GAH! You little twerp!" Malos yelled as he attacked Floren.

"FLOREN!" Adenine screamed as she intercepted the attack and gave him an uppercut with her gauntlets. "You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah!" Floren yelled.

Just then, Nia healed Rex and Malos noticed.

"Have I mentioned how annoying that power is!?" Malos yelled.

"You did mention that." Nia said. Just then, the ground began to freeze up and Nia collapsed from it. "Wh-what? This…it's ice? Jin…you?" Nia asked while

"That's right! Jin is an ice Blade!" Praxis yelled as he too fell to the ground.

"But of course. This is Jin's true power. You may have regenerative powers. But everything becomes futile once you reach absolute zero." Malos said.

"Brrrr…absolute zero?" Mòrag asked while shivering.

"While they're vulnerable!" Malos yelled to his partner.

"Vulnerable?" Theory asked while she and Perun slowly waked towards them.

Their weapons were glowing, ether energy was flowing through their bodies, and their eyes had a fierce look.

"What's going on?" Nia asked while they starred at them.

"Right! They're ice Blades too! They're absorbing the ether flow from Jin's homefield advantage." Vale said.

"Now we got a fight! For Lady Lilika!" Perun yelled.

"For my dearest Robyn!" Theory yelled before the two of them attacked Malos.

Jin went back to fighting Rex and began to overpower him.

"Rex! Ah!" Nia yelled in pain while Malos was able to get the upper hand on her.

"Nia!" Mòrag yelled as she ran to her.

"I'm not done with you yet!" Malos yelled as he try to strike her, but he was stopped by Mòrag and Perun

"Mòrag! This is getting us nowhere!" Zeke yelled as he and Pandoria were coming down from above to strike. Malos deflected them with a dark barrier and sent them flying backwards.

"Poppi!" Tora yelled.

"Take this!" Poppi yelled as she fired a rocket from her shield right at Jin.

Jin saw it and destroyed it with a single swipe. The impact caused a shock wave, causing the two of them to stumble backwards.

"Trash!" Jin yelled as he swiped at them, causing them to hit a wall.

"Poppi! Tora!" Rex yelled before continuing to engage Jin. "It can't end like this!" Rex yelled.

"Enough! Give up, Rex!" Pyra's voice was heard in Rex's head.

"Rex, please listen to what we have to say. Our power has done nothing but bring you pain. It would be better if such a power didn't exist." Mythra's voice was also heard in Rex's head.

"We told you we wanted to go to Elysium…but the reason why we wanted to go there…was to beg our father to let us die." Pyra admitted to him.

"So forget us, Rex! For the sake of the world, abandon us!" Mythra demanded.

"Abandon you!? When you are injured, I feel your pain. When you feel pain, I feel the sorrow in your heart!" Rex yelled while still fighting Jin.

"What the hell? Has he finally cracked!?" Malos yelled while noticing Rex was yelling at himself.

"You really think I'm just gonna stand by like this? And watch someone I love suffer!?" Rex asked.

"You can make it to Elysium! You can make it…with or without us. So please…!" Pyra begged.

"What would be the point of that? Listen, I swore to you! We're going to Elysium together! That's a promise!" Rex yelled.

"Rex…" Pyra whimpered as she looked like she was gonna cry, and Mythra had her hands to her mouth, realizing he was swearing to the promise he made.

"I'm going to Elysium for you! I'm doing all of this for you!" He continue to yelled until he threw Jin off of him. "We'll do it together! We'll find out together! We'll find your place in this world! Find out where we're headed…and see what our future holds. So believe me! I won't let this world burn a second time! So Pyra, Mythra…!" Rex yelled into the sky as Jin was about to strike again.

"REX!" Everyone shouted.

"JOIN ME!" Rex screamed with his eyes shut.

Just as Jin was about to swing his sword at his neck, Rex entered his conscious and saw Pyra and Mythra in some sort of hanger. Behind them was a massive robot with half of its body being white, and the other being dark red.

"This is our whole being. This is the power we were granted at birth." Pyra said.

"So, Rex…are you still sure you want this?" Mythra asked him.

"Tell me. Do you love this world?" Rex asked.

"…Yes. Nia, Azurda…and you, Rex…I love this world because…you're in it." Pyra answered.

"Well then!" Rex said as he held out his hands to them.

Pyra and Mythra looked at each other, smiled and nodded. They stepped forwards and took both of his hands.

Back at the fight, the green Aegis Core Crystal intercepted the attack.

"Wh-what? How?" Jin asked while looking at the crystal.

"It's a beautiful color…like green marine." Agate said.

Rex screamed as he reached out for the crystal. Just as he grabbed it, a silver sword similar to Pyra and Mythra's sword materialized around the crystal. Bright green ether burst out of it, causing Jin to be pushed back.

"A new sword!?" Malos yelled.

"Look!" Corvin yelled while pointing at Pyra.

Pyra hovered into the air behind Rex and her crystal glowed. Her body began to glow as well, commencing a transformation. She now has long, green hair tied in a ponytail and green eyes. She wears a silver tiara and a white, blue, and green plate armor with long combat high heels with emerald-green crystal-like ornamentations. On her chest had a spelling in Latin that spelled out 'Pneuma.'

Rex looked at her and their eyes met.

"Pyra! Mythra!" Rex yelled in surprise.

"Apologies, Rex. Worry not. All is well. I am lost…no longer." She said before waving a hand around Rex, transforming his salvager suit.

Rex's suit is now a more futuristic-looking white and green armor, matching Pneuma's. It maintains the overall shape of Rex's initial armor and is functional for salvaging.

"What's this?" Rex asked her.

"Ah! That's better, don't you think?" Pneuma asked him with a big smile.

"I could get use to this!" Rex said before facing their enemies." Everyone! Attack!" He yelled.

"Yeah!" Zeke yelled.

"Payback time!" Nia yelled while readying her scimitar.

As the fight resumed, Rex attacked Jin. Much to his shock, even Rex, he was as fast as Jin was.

"How!?" Jin growled before he began to go light speed to strike. Unfortunately for him, Rex was matching him speed for speed. They attacked all over the place. "How are you matching my speed!?" Jin demanded.

"Look at him go!" Wulfric yelled just as he got in front of Jin.

"Impossible! You…can't have this power!" Jin yelled as his eyes shrank with fright while they continued to go at it.

"I don't get it, but I'm not complaining! This is what I've been searching for!" Re yelled as they began to fall.

"Whoa…so this is Pyra and Mythra's true power." Nia said while holding her chest.

"He has become…a Master Driver. Master Rex…" Mayonaka whispered.

Eventually, Rex and Jin crashed landed by the cliff. Jin was gasping for air, and he was on his knees.

"You want some more?" Rex asked. Just then, he froze up when he saw a look on Jin's face. "He…looks so sad…" He said.

"Rex…" Pneuma said while holding his wrist, signaling for him to cease.

"Weak. End me now or you'll live to regret it." Jin said while standing up and aiming his sword at him.

"I don't want to fight you. I just want to get to Elysium. That's all. I won't let you stop me." Rex said while standing down.

"That's not going to happen. We have goals of our own. You and anything else that stands in our way will be wiped out." Malos said.

"What goals?" Rex asked.

"Our only purpose. Destroy humanity. Destroy the world. Then…destroy the Architect!" Jin answered.

"Why would you want to do that!?" Kasandra demanded.

"I am an Aegis. Created by the Architect to erase existence. The ultimate weapon. The Endbringer!" Malos yelled.

"Endbringer?" Rex asked.

"Yes. My only purpose is to destroy. I am the Endbringer. That is why I must go to Elysium and awaken the ultimate Artifice, Aion!" Malos answered

"You can't be serious." Rex said while his heart was pounding.

"I'm nothing but serious, boy. This is the sacred duty entrusted for us Aegises by the Architect." Malos said.

"You're wrong. Father doesn't want that! You're deeply mistaken." Pneuma said with a serious tone.

"Enough! I know I'm right!" Malos yelled as Ophion emerged rom underneath the Cloud Sea behind him.

"Ophion!" Pneuma yelled in shock to see it behind Malos, ready to strike.

"Indeed! It ends here!" Malos yelled.

Ophion took aim at them and began to charge up an attack. Jin slowly look back at the monster.

With Robyn and Galea when they were seeing Ophion from above the World Tree.

"We have them now! Send in the Colossi while Siren engages!" Robyn yelled.

"Copy that!" Galea said as she outstretched her arm out.

Back with the group, a massive bolt of lightning struck Ophion from above. Ophion roared as it began to fall into the clouds.

"Another guest at the party!?" Malos yelled while looking back.

From above, they saw Siren glaring down at them.

"That's Siren!" Rex yelled.

"How can this be!?" Agate yelled.

Pneuma was thinking about how this was possible since she technically didn't call it. But then, she gasped and put a hand to her mouth.

"BRING IT ON!" Malos shouted just before a large beam of purple energy shot right at it.

The two Artifices began to brawl, causing everyone to have a struggle to stand.

"Pyra!" Rex yelled while holding her tight.

"I'm fine!" Pneuma said.

"I've had it with you Pyra! Mythra!" Malos shouted in rage.

Ophion began to charge up another attack. Upon firing it, it caused the cliff to be unstable due to Siren, which used an ether barrier to block the attack, and it hitting the cliff underneath.

"NO!" Rex shouted.

"THE CLIFF!" Zeke screamed as it was coming down.

Everyone began to scream as they begun to plummet down into the Great Void. However, as if luck continued to be on their side, they were caught by two other massive droids.

Everyone looked and saw them. Pneuma recognized them immediately.

"Those are…!" Pneuma yelled when she saw the Artifices that she used to fight against during the Aegis War 500 years ago.

"WHERE'D THEY COME FROM!?" Zeke shouted while holding on tight.

"They are additional Artifices!" Pneuma called out.

"Look!" Rex yelled as they were headed straight for some sort of lab.

"Brace yourselves!" Mòrag yelled as they were about to hit the ground.

They landed outside the lab, causing them to fall off. Pneuma landed next to rex, causing her to lose conscious and reverted back to Mythra. Rex adjusted her to rest on his lap. The Colossi flew off back to the tree, leaving them all.

"Everyone okay?" Tora asked.

"Peachy! What is this place?" Zeke asked while they looked around.

"We're under the Cloud Sea. Us salvagers call this…the Land of Morytha." Re said while they looked up.

With the fight finally ending, Rex and his friends fine themselves in a land they are not fully familiar with. Now that the true power of the Aegis has been awoken, Rex now has become the Master Driver, and Pyra and Mythra have now unleashed their fullest potential. Meanwhile, Robyn and Lilika continued their studies of what Alrest had in terms of holidays, religions, everything. When will they reunite with each other? Find out more next time while they begin to explore…the Land of Morytha.
