As I recall the details of my plan, things are going smooth, if not for some unexpected results. Mostly about Momoka and Tusk sacrificing their own lives for Ange. However, I can tell of their survival. Momoka has used a Substitution when she tried to use a car to hit Julio with herself, and Tusk used flameproof clothing before the explosion.
I can only hope they will get Ange back in the fight.
I'm in the Aurora to see some results now that the airship is safe due to Hilda's leadership, which it's also unexpected. Anyway, Suzaku is taking in charge of the vehicle we stole in the Misurugi Empire. The aftermath has been told: Marika has died, and Sylvia told me it was Chris. Didn't expect that gray-haired girl to be so brutal. Anyway, while Sylvia is comforting Nonna and Mary about losing Marika, I'm checking on Riza and she told the crew of something. Speaking of Riza, I got to thank her for doing me a favor of using her power to pause time for five minutes earlier so I can talk to Momoka about my prepared plan.
"Merge the two Earths?" Hilda questioned.
At least Sylvia also heard this.
"The Ragna-mails are the regulators, and Aura is the energy source," Riza explained. As I looked at her condition, I wonder what happened to her while she was imprisoned by that Clovis-lookalike. "Julio is going to merge the two Earths, space-time and all. He'll make a new Earth."
It looks like she's getting worse after she said the last line.
"She can't take anymore," Maggie said with worry. "She needs to rest."
"Then give her some medical help in any way you can," I suggested.
"Right."
As I looked at Salamandinay, I can tell what it is.
"If the two Earths were to merge, everything would be destroyed," she explained and it's exactly what I'm thinking of. "We must hurry."
To think she asked Hilda for an alliance between them because neither of their machines can stand up to Julio alone. The latter agrees to it, but...
"But only once Ange is back," Hilda said.
"Do you think you can wait for her, Sylvia?" I asked with a smirk.
"Of course I can. I'm her sister." Sylvia replied with determination.
"Good. I was just testing you to see if you can be patient about it."
"Oh? Ange isn't back?" we heard Julio is speaking, but he isn't here. The dog in this ship is growling at the source: Emma Bronson. "Dear, oh dear, where has my wife gone?"
This doesn't look good; those eyes and that voice. I know Julio is controlling her.
"Sylvia, when that officer has that voice and those eyes, does that look normal?" I asked my protege to see if she can get what is happening right now.
"No, I don't think that's normal, Lelouch," was her reply.
"Good to know you got this one right," I pat her head in affection.
"Officer?" Vivian said in confusion.
"No, that's..." Salamandinay seems to think what I'm thinking about who is using Officer Bronson to speak to us. Good thing a small screen appeared to us to know who that is. "Julio."
"Julio, you say?" Jasmine stands up from her seat.
The dog tries to lunge for an attack, but Officer Bronson hits him away, or rather Julio uses her to hit him away.
"Vulcan!" Jasmine cried.
"Have you lost it?!" Hilda points her gun at the officer, but Salamandinay and I stopped her.
"She's only being manipulated," the princess stated.
"What?"
"Long story," I added.
"Chasing after a woman who left you?" Salamandinay reprimanded Julio. "That's pathetic, Sir Tuner."
"The princess of the DRAGONs?" the latter noticed the former.
"There's no rush. Ange and I will be seeing you soon enough..." the princess spoke to our enemy. "To have your head."
"Oh?" Julio asked.
Next thing we saw is that she uses her supersonic scream to break Officer Bronson free from that guy's mind control. Really? She can do that?
"Officer!" Vivian exclaimed on the officer falling to the ground.
"Commander," Salamandinay turns to Hilda. "It seems Julio is desperate to find Ange. Can you avoid his notice and rescue her?"
"For someone who has godlike powers and doesn't acknowledge himself as god, he is not omniscient," I told Sylvia about it to tease that Clovis-lookalike.
"I agree with you. I thought he knows where Sister is right now, but he doesn't," she responded back.
"Make no mistake, Ange will return," the princess said with a smile.
"H-How do you know that?" Hilda demanded.
"Because she's my friend."
"I'm afraid she's right, Hilda," I told her. "Anyway, I know Ange is. That vehicle Tusk mostly used is obviously going to his island."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get her!" Sylvia exclaimed as she, Hilda, and Salamandinay are starting to go after Ange.
I know how they feel, but judging how she's been acting during the rescue, I have a better idea.
"Stop!" I exclaimed to stop the girls and told them an important message. "I know how you feel, but be patient. Instead of getting Ange, let her come here to us."
"Why?" Hilda asked me.
"If you saw how she's acting during her rescue, she's not acting like herself," I responded to the question. "All she did all day was running from enemies instead of fighting them."
"Now that you thought about it, I saw that, too," Salamandinay added.
"Glad you saw that, princess. Anyway, we just can't drag her back here when she's not ready to fight."
"How could this happened?" Vivian asked me next.
"Sal... My spy from the inside," I better avoid telling everyone here about my secret operative. "She told me of how Julio raped Ange during the time she was captured or something."
"How disgusting is that!" Sylvia said in disgust.
"So now you all know. Let Ange come here instead of dragging her here," I said firmly.
After a few seconds of thinking, they agree with my idea.
"Good. For those who wants to wait, just wait," I said as I walked away from the group. "Let's go, Sylvia. Let's play some board games while waiting for your big sister."
"Okay," Sylvia walked away with me.
