"Saya, Saya, it is time to wake up," a soft female voice spoke to the Red Queen, who felt herself to be sleeping on the softest of grass, underneath a bright, shining sun. She opened her eyes and found herself to be in the center of a green meadow, filled with roses of every single hue, including the blue ones. "You are needed in the battlefield, my child."

The woman's voice was so warm, so comforting, that she had to obey. She stood up, and found out that she was looking at a face that she had never thought to be possible. She had the same ebony hair, the same flawless skin and petite stature, the same eyes of ruby, and the same smile. There was little doubt who this person could be, and deep in her heart, Saya wanted it to be true, that she was indeed looking at the one person whose presence she had craved the most… "Mother?" she asked, her own voice filled with hope, demanding the woman that she answered as she had wished.

With a smile, the woman nodded. "Yes, my daughter, you are right, I am your mother." Opening her arms, she allowed Saya to run into her arms, and hugged her. "You have suffered much, Saya, and your sister, Diva as well. It does me proud to see that you both have let down your enmities and work for peace between yourselves. Only then, will you be able to see the ones you love smile again, only then, will you cease the suffering of the humans, and yourselves."

Saya looked into her mother's eyes and bit her lip. "But she killed Joel and Riku, because of her, hundreds of innocent lives were lost, and Otou-san…" she said, revealing her reluctance in her truce with her sister. "She caused so much pain, she should have died, but I…"

"You could not kill your own nieces, and your own children," her mother said, lovingly caressing her hair. "And you have found out the true intentions of Amshell, the man who cut me up and threw me away as a corpse with Joel I Goldschimdt… It is through this man, that all you came to love was destroyed by Diva's hands. You have realized that the true enemy is not your sister, but rather her Chevalier." She knew that there was still a long, long way to go before her older daughter learns her younger child, but there were already signs that Saya was beginning to yield.

The younger Queen heaved a sigh. Her mother was right, and she knew it. "What must I do?" she asked her mother. "Amshell is too strong for any of us… Too many have died…"

She was interrupted by another voice, this time, that of a male. "Don't worry, kiddo, you'll do just fine!" It was Miyagusuku George, her adoptive father after Joel I. "Nankurunaisa!" She smiled, and thanked him.

"Saya Nee-chan, you can do it!" added Riku, who was standing beside their father. "Say 'Hi' to Diva and my daughters for me too!" It softened her heart to see Riku having already embraced his fate of being Diva's chosen mate and the father of her nieces. "She didn't really mean to kill me… She told me that she would make me her Chevalier, but she didn't know that I was already yours. Will you please forgive her?"

Saya smiled, and nodded. "I will try, Riku," she told him, and was welcomed by yet another face: that of Joel I's. "Joel… I'm so sorry," she told the man that raised her, he who had given her so much freedom and love. "I should not have set Diva free, then you would not have…"

Joel I patted her head. "You were right, Saya, for I think, I deserved my fate, for locking her up in that dreadful tower. You did not know what I did to her, child, nor can you comprehend it. I regretted them, too late, when I found that what I had done to Diva had turned her into the monster that she became, but what I regretted more was that Amshell had betrayed me. You see, your mother told me that it was Amshell who found Diva after she escaped and clothed her… He was the one who told her to kill everyone in the Zoo, including me."

"I…" Saya voice failed her. She was only one person, how was she able to defeat such evil, such malice and hatred? But then she realized, she was not alone anymore. She had Solomon, the father of her children, she had Kai, her brother, Hagi, her Chevalier for many years, and she had the support of all those in the Red Shield. She was never truly alone in that fight, nor was she truly the monstrosity she always thought that she had been. "Thank you… Thank you all…"

"Please, Saya, hear me!" Solomon cried, holding his fiancée in his arms, a certain distance between a rampaging Amshell and the rain of weapons darting towards him. "We need you to fight!" Within seconds, her ruby eyes were opened, and he immediately held her tighter. "I thought that I had lost you!"

Saya put a hand to his handsome face and said, "You won't lose me… I saw my mother, Otou-san, Riku and Joel… They told me that they were with me, like you…" Solomon smiled, and kissed her lightly on her forehead. Her resolve had always came from the ones she loved, the ones she had cherished, and there was no doubt that during her loss of consciousness, she had found that the hearts of those who loved her, those that have passed on, were still living in her, so long she had them as her own memories.

Their little moment of intimacy was ended when a corpse that had been split into two horizontally landed a few inches before them, splattering countless amount of blood onto them. "And that, beloved, is our cue to join in with the fun again," he said, his usual expression of casual smiles now present. Revealing his blade-arm, dashed towards Amshell and pierced it into the bones of his brother's right wing, hacking it off while Nathan managed to do the same with the other.

"Your efforts are futile!" Amshell roared. "Even without the ability to fly, I am still unmatched in power!" With both his arms outstretched, he aimed his lightning bolts and the Schiff and Hagi, who were fast approaching him. "All who turn against me, shall die!"

Nathan scoffed at him and said, "Sorry to burst your bubble, Amshell, but those who fail to bow to the Queens are the ones who will perish!" At that he ducked and leapt away to clear the way for Saya and Diva, who were running towards him, their weapons in perfect position to strike at one crucial point of his body.

To distract him, Kai, David and Lois continued to fire their guns, while the rest continue to injure Amshell as best they could, leaving his thoracic cavity open for the two Queens to attack. Nothing, not even supersonic blasts of energy could stop them. They were not attacking as two separate warriors, but one single entity. And it was only then, did the Chevalier first feel the true meaning of fear.

He had played with the fury of a Queen, he had toyed with it too often to reach his goals. At first he had been jealous of the wealth and power of his research partner, so he used Diva to destroy him and his family, but then, they survived. Then, in his hatred, he had used Diva's blood to engineer all sorts of nightmares, while meaning to use her children as the new alpha-females for the latest in biotechnological weaponry… He had never thought that he would have seen this day… To be held like a beast, and to be destroyed like one…

He could hear the battle-cry of Saya and Diva, and he surely could feel the real pain of his own Queen's sword cutting into his own flesh, to feel her dainty fingers wrap around his heart, pulling it out from his body… "Diva, Saya, crush it now!" that insolent human boy shouted, no doubt, it was Solomon that had told them that it was the one way to kill a Chevalier. But no matter how many times they had tried to stab it with their weapons, his heart still remained intact.

"I would like to see how you would get yourselves out of this mess," he told the Queens, roaring with maniacal laughter. "You are fools, for not being able to foresee this. Did you not think that I would have thought that someone may have used the same ploy as that of Solomon's against Martin Bormann?" His heart, it seemed, was encased within a shell much alike that of James' skin in his Chevalier form.

Kai looked at this, and he thought of something. Taking the rocket launcher from a fallen Red Shield combatant, he shouted to Diva and Saya, "Throw it into the air, now!" They did as they were told, and once Amshell's heart was airborne, he took his aim and fired the rocket at it, and too Amshell's disbelief, it was enough to remove the protective layer. He was helpless now.

"No, it cannot be!" Amshell shouted in anguish, but it was too late. Both blades of both Queens had already pierced his heart before he was able to attack them again. The reaction was immediate. Every single blood vessel in his body exploded, along with his powers, and in a column of violet light infused with each drop of blood in his body, the Chevalier that was once Amshell Goldsmith disintegrated into tiny pieces of flesh.

At that, the great evil that had caused the world such pain and fear had been vanquished. Both Saya and Diva fell to the ground, leaning upon their swords, smiling at one another. At last, after more than a hundred years, they had peace, for the first time in their lives. And as if the heavens had felt their relief also, it started to rain, washing away all the blood of those who had gave their lives to make this moment come true, the blood of those who were but innocent bystanders of one twisted soul against the world, and the very blood of the monster who had caused much grief and destruction. It had all ended there.

It had soon become too much to bear for both Saya and Diva. For the first time in their long lifetimes, the two of them fought side by side against their true enemy, and they had prevailed. Diva finally had her own family again, and Saya, she had her peace. No one needed to fight anymore, nor did they need to see each other to the death, in the name of survival. Embracing one another, the sisters cried with each other, under the rain, free of all the emotions and suffering that they had felt. They were now free…

And from their own tears of joy, came new sounds of crying, but not from them. In the bush where Nathan had hidden the basket which held the cocoons that carried Diva's children, the voices of babies crying could be heard. Immediately, the Blue Queen dashed towards the basket, and found that her children were already born. "They look so much like Riku!" she exclaimed, shocking Kai the most. Did she even know Riku's name? Perhaps, she was not such a beast after all…

"And so, we are ushered into a new age for both human and Chiropteran alike," Nathan said before skipping happily to congratulate Diva, who was still crying tears of joy, while Julia volunteered to check on her daughters.

"You have done well, my daughters!" cried a voice in the wind, causing both Saya and Diva to look up. It was their mother, dressed in white embroidered with violet, the color that mediated blue and red. "Now, the peace and love that you have so desired is yours." The image of their mother was soon joined by many others, of those who had died from the conflict that had finally ended, including those who had once been perceived as antagonists. They were all smiling, and they all offered their congratulations to the Queens.

Solomon smiled for the umpteenth time and led Saya towards Diva, saying, "Come, my Queens, let us go home…"
