"My lord Cygnus," I say, "I need to be at Garden Wake, for reasons I'm sure you know."

Cygnus nods. I already briefed him on my plan, thus securing victory over him…for now.

I walk to the EM road leading to Earth as I mutter, "Good-for-nothing swan. This plan isn't as easy as I thought, with his beak in my business."

Indeed, Delilah, our ascension to the FM-ian throne will take more effort than merely disposing of Aquarius…although he hasn't been "disposed" of yet.

I begin the journey to Earth as I mutter, "Agreed. Ophiuca's most likely after the throne as well, but Aries also concerns me."

Yes, Aries is quite temperamental. She's almost like Taurus, except more focused on her discipline and how exactly she could defeat one…but usually she takes the route less traveled, if you get what I mean.

"Have you seen her fight?" I ask when we're a suitable distance from Cygnus' ears.

Once. It was for an ambush, and she made traps and weapons before our quarry arrived…not that she needed them. She tore our quarry apart with both hands, but kept the weapons…and I'm sure that she still has them.

I wince and say, "That sounds ominous, Crown. Are you sure that keeping her here on FM is wise?"

Wiser than letting her go after Omega-Xis and Aquarius. I've no idea of what would happen if Aquarius and Aries were to fight.

"And there are others, right?" I say.

Yes, but Gemini looked inside the main globe and informed me of two special sources for weapons. The Star Force and something called the OOParts.

"I remember the Star Force," I say, "Libra's mentioned its power countless times. Something about the Sages of AM?"

Yes. Do you remember their names?

"Leo Kingdom," I say, "Dragon Sky, and Pegasus Magic."

Correct. And there is also a woman looking for the OOParts. Thunder Zerker, Green Shinobi, and Fire Saurian.

"Saurian?" I say, "It's better that we find this woman and see what information she has for us…so we can take down Cygnus and Aquarius and rule FM."

Indeed. The globe mentioned something about the Sages of AM inside the Satellites, and that the woman who knows of the OOParts is coming to Garden Wake soon.

"Inside the Satellites?" I say in disbelief, "Then…then that would mean that Layla and Omega-Xis would meet them again and get the Star Force!"

And if they meet the woman and get the OOParts, then we're nothing more than mere obstacles in MegaGirl's path!

"We must not let them survive long enough to find the woman or the Sages," I say, "Crown Lily so swears!"
