Now it's night and the disaster is still happening. It's not just from here, but also the DRAGONs world if I'm not mistaken. The whole world is now plunged into chaos, and this is supposed to be the Norma's job, not that Clovis-lookalike's.

At least we know that the Dawn Pillar in the Misurugi region is where Aura is being held. According to Salamandinay, if the two Earths combine, everything will be destroyed. All lives will die. That's why we must take Aura, no matter the cost, before that happens.

Good thing I'm thinking of the same thing.

"Hilda," Rosalie calls for her. "Are you still waiting for Ange?"

"Of course not. There won't be a world to wreck if the Earth is gone," Hilda is not going to wait any longer.

So much for waiting...

"Angelise..." Sylvia said with worry for her big sister.

"I'm sure she'll come. You'll see," I reassured her with a hand on her head. "If I'm not mistaken, she has seen what your evil big brother is doing right now, and that she won't let him get away with it."

"I hope you're right about that."

Just then, there's incoming transmission. I wonder who's calling us at the time like this. Suzaku?

"Aurora? Can you hear?" a familiar voice spoke, and I know who's calling. "Ange here. I'm returning now. Aurora, respond."

"I knew she'd come back," I whispered to Sylvia.

We went to the hangar to greet not just Ange, but also Tusk and Momoka. As I expected, everyone seems to be relief that she has returned, especially Sylvia, who's giving her a big hug while crying out of relief. Out of all of us, she must have been worried about her being away for a while after that fiasco in her former kingdom.

"Isn't this Vanessa's machine?" Maggie asked Tusk about the pink mecha he's carrying. Seriously, Tusk? Pink? Couldn't you just get a better colored mecha for men?

"Yeah," was his response. "Mom's Arquebus."

"So it can still fly," Jasmine comment on the machine.

Just then, Emma came out, and it looks like her behavior's changed ever since we started our revolution against Julio and the Mana people. In fact, she hasn't been drinking as of recently, and I guess it must mean she has accepted the truth about the humans and Mana. I'm proud of her to have this kind of development.

"It's..." Ange happened to notice the orange mecha with dark colors.

"It's Ersha's," I told her. "She... has woken up. Even so, she's in a prison cell. She asked for it."

"Is that so?"

"Well, you got a lot of catching up to do."

At least it's nice that Ange will ally herself with Salamandinay. Also, she has easily forgiven Riza for all the trouble she did.

"Hilda. Where's the commander?" she asked her redheaded friend without knowing of what had happened prior to the rescue attempt in Misurugi.

"I'm the commander now," Hilda said.

"Then what about Jill?" Ange asked.

Yup, she has a lot of catching up to do.

Author's Note: What do you think? Ange has returned, and for the next two chapters will be in her and Sylvia's POVs respectively before the final battle.
