A/N: What an unlucky number to end the story on…
With Gallia formally allied to Neo Albion, all the other countries were now seriously concerned since if Albion had wanted to invade them, they now had a land base to send their troops from as well as the floating country. The negotiation bots were constantly activate as the royal families discussed with the machine on trade terms in order to facilitate peace.
Port La Rochelle became a key part of the world as it imported and exported just about anything to and fro Neo Albion. In exchange for raw materials, a wide range of products were given in return to the provider countries. In the months that passed, Albion became the centre of the world and the demand for windstones was so high that the crisis about windstones lifting Halkeginia up was avoided simply because of Neo Albion's mining operations.
Inumuta had sent the mining bot from the academy to tunnel deep in the planet and extracted any wind stones it could find, placing it into a pocket dimension where Inumuta collected, refined and sold them to the Halkeginians. He had been careful to not allow any of his advanced technology get stolen by thieves through strict border checks, allowing only the believers of 'Technomonology', Technos, to migrate to the floating island.
Traders were allowed only to dock at the exterior port he had built. Goods would be handled by an AI he had created and all transactions were final with no room for negotiations. Soon, most of the continent did not wish to offend Gallia or Albion in any way, accepting them as too powerful to oppose unless you wished to risk instant annihilation.
Slowly and surely through the small technological innovations given to the Halkeginians, the continent was converted to 'Technomonology'. First spreading from Albion to Gallia to Germania, then to the Grand Duchy of Guldenhorf before the entire of Tristain. Though the Pope tried his best, the religion eventually took over Romalia and he was forced to abdicate.
Now without their religion to hinder them, Halkeginia made contact with the elves. Though relations were strained through years of conflict, the elves allowed the humans a say and some small trade began, mostly involving food and drinks in exchange for cloth. Trust built up slowly and with some careful persuasion, the elves parted with some of their people for a cultural exchange programme while some humans visited their cities.
With the state of the continent relatively secure, Inumuta sent a satellite to space and discovered that none of the other land masses on this world held any intelligent life. He smiled as he realized he had found a world to colonize. The Earth had become slightly overpopulated and people had started living in pocket dimensions to save space.
With this issue, Inumuta built a teleporter gate in hopes of constructing the other on an inhabitable planet in the future. He now flew over to the largest unoccupied continent and set up the gateway. As the portal flickered to life, he was greeted by the leader of Earth, Einbert Warren.
"Inumuta, where are you? We've been trying to contact you for months."
"We are on some planet in unchartered space, it seems mostly empty except for one continent which we have already turned to our side. Send all available build bots through the portal, instruct them to create city template five and four. Send reactivate all miner bots as well, we have millenniums worth of minerals yet to be extracted here."
"I understand, I will do so at once. Are we to make contact with the locals?"
"For now no, just colonize the entire planet, it also has two moons so send two rovers over to set up mining operations over there as well."
"Yes sir, anything else?"
"Nothing for now, just note not to expose any of the locals to radiation, they can use magic but exposing them to anything radioactive will cause the magic in their veins to explode."
"I see… I have just sent the bots over and will be moving people once the city is complete."
"Good, I'll leave the groundwork to you then."
Suddenly, alarms blared throughout the continent as a large shift in the continent was detected. Inumuta suddenly got a call on his communicator, he clicked it and heard Ryuko.
"I feel it, Senketsu is in whatever just emerged from the planet!"
"What!"
"We need to deal with it quickly."
"I happened to be in the area and tried to cut it but it has a blasted forcefield like that golem and it seems to be stronger than the last one."
"Hold on, running scans and calculations now."
Using the satellite, Inumuta scanned the beast and assessed the strength of the shielding.
"This is not good, based on my calculations, nothing I have currently is strong enough to take it down besides the InuBaku and that could wipe the continent clean…"
"Think of something! Its causing all the dragons in their pens to go crazy, the sedation function was useful but some wild dragons are causing disruptions to trade by attacking the convoys."
"Wait a minute! That thing is heading towards Lagdorian Lake, try and keep it on its path, based on my calculations, if we can converge all five of the laser batteries on it, the shielding should fall."
"You mean those huge guns you planted at the top of every country and below Albion?"
"Yes, though we only have one shot, the laser batteries will take too long to recharge for a second full power shot."
"Then we'll get it in that shot!"
In the forest next to Lagdorian Lake, attracting the Ancient Dragon was a certain Void Mage who went by the name of Louise, she had been living away from society after her husband's betrayal and refused to return even after her pardon due to the havok spread by her familiar. He had converted the entire of Halkeginia to 'Technomonology', leaving her as the last faithful follower of Brimirism.
Just as she was about to take a bite of her freshly charred venison she had salvaged from the crater, a shadow covered the entire area, making her turn around and gasp in shock. She gripped her wand as she saw the huge beast.
'This must be the crisis the Pope was talking about! That stupid dog of a familiar, this is all his fault! Wait… If I manage to defeat this thing then I would be heralded as the savior of the world! I can revive Brimirism! Founder Guide Me!'
Louise looked at the beast and readied her spell.
"Firebal-"
Just as she was about to release the spell, a pentagon of lasers hit the Ancient Dragon, burst past its shield and a piece of clothing was left behind, grabbed by Ryuko as she ran to a ship to meet up with Inumuta in Neo Albion. Louise stared blankly at where her one chance of redeeming herself had been. She cried.
Back on Neo Albion, Inumuta gave Ryuko some time to herself as she put on the familiar sailor outfit and pulled the pin, feeding blood into the ancient fabric once more.
Queue Transformation!
"Where… Am I?"
"Senketsu!"
"Ryuko?"
