A shocked silence followed.
"What do you mean Krysita?" A very quiet voice asked. It was almost an accusation.
Tyrannis frowned, he thought she'd have been happy to hear that.
"Who is there left." It was more a statement than a question.
"Some of the opposed Crystal angels were also under the influence of brainwashing crystals." Kim put forward gently but Lypix turned away. Kim looked at Tyrannis and made a gesture that suggested she was going to go out and leave them to it.
"Lypix." Piper whispered, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Lypix turned to Piper, her features looking extremely old. "I never wanted to rule. Heck, I'd have been happy to leave if everyone hadn't died. But won't they expect me to rule now?"
"Lyp- Tyrannis started, but he was cut off by a very authoritive tone.
"Lypix."
She turned to the doorway. For a minute she didn't recognise him dressed in the black jacket he wore, it suited him more than he probably knew.
"Finn!" She cried towards the most comforting face she'd seen all day.
Lypix ran to embrace him, he just enveloped his arms around her as she hugged him.
"Well look who's all grown up." Piper frowned. Normally she'd have been older than him, but not today.
Finn smiled slightly at Piper, "Someone's waiting for you outside. We'll meet up later."
She walked out, squeezing Lypix's arm on the way out.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
Lypix looked up, she was crying. "Yes."
He laughed and hugged her, it seemed a little bitter. Behind Lypix's back Finn nodded sadly to Tyrannis, who gave a gentle nod back.
"Right you young whippersnappers! Get off my Terra before I have to hurt you!"
Lypix grinned and let go of Finn so she could hug Tyrannis. "It was nice to see you." She smiled.
"And you. In the future, you have to stop by more often!"

"You've got a better ride!" She yelled over the sound of the wind. Their speed must have come near to sound.
Finn grinned against the wind, "Being friends with Monica sure do have their advantages!"
Another person she knew was okay. In fact, it seemed like everyone was. But something was still not right.
"Where are we going?!"
Finn laughed, "You'll see."
A large Terra loomed, jagged edges of glass jutted up from the sides of the Terra. Barely within sight, a few people moved over them like ants. A large hole was in the centre, and Lypix shuddered as she realised where she was.
"Are you alright?" Finn asked a little worried.
"I'm fine." She answered. But Krysita like this made her nervous. It wasn't really over the leadership thing. It was part of it, but the real reason was the last time she was there properly, Ka had tried to trick her. Lypix would go insane if it was another mirage.
They landed.
