(Bulwark slowly gets up, the defense armor shutdown and goes into the normal armor and then into the armband.)

Bulwark: What happened? Did we win? Is it over?

Isabella: Bulwark!! You alright?

(She goes near him.)

Isabella: Where is Arya?!

(Arya moved far away from the group in search of water. She hears noises in one of the houses and readies her weapon. She walks carefully until she hears someone crying.)

Girl: Please help!

(She rushes into the house and by the noise, she ends in front of the door. She slams in only to find 3 ominous persons and 1 she knows: Sygma accompanied by Zeta and Epsilon and a beat-down GM.)

Sygma: Hello, Arya.

Arya: YOU!

Sygma: Don't move, or I'll blow her head out, and believe me, I will not hesitate. Throw your weapon away.

(She hesitates and Sygma loads his gun.)

Arya: Ok ok! Don't shoot!

(She throws her Greatsword away.)

Sygma: Time is something I'm not willing to waste.

(He points at Arya and shoots her. A green substance enters her body, and she falls unconscious. The GM tries to scream but the cloth in her mouth prevented her.)

Sygma: Take her.

(Zeta opens a portal with a gun and Epsilon carries Arya into it.)

Sygma: Preparations must be done. Thank you for your support GM.

(He pushes her in front and shoots her.)

Bulwark: I ... I don't know... I think I heard her say something about water.. She's at ... Wait...

(The pin on his HUD shows her last known location.)

Bulwark: But... She was just here, how could she be ...

(Bulwark looks at Isabella with a worried look)

Bulwark: This was a trap... They still wanted her back at that fucking lab.... FUCK!!

(He punches the ground)

Bulwark: He's so dead when we find him.... I.. I'm just afraid that we might be too late.

(He turns into his Apollo armor and slowly stands and readies his thrusters)

Bulwark: He's going to wish mercy on us... On me.

Bulwark: Last know location is call Edomont. It's north from here.

(From the flames, a shadowy large figure approaches.)

S: If I were you, I wouldn't rush into it.

(S comes walking slowly grabbing GM with her left arm whereas her right was missing. Instead, she compressed it with cloth that was red. Isabella rushed to help her. On the GM's chest, a device was placed.)

Isabella: What happened?!

S: Sygma shot her after doing the same with Arya. But I think the first one was a tranquilizer. I managed to save her by using one of my mother's inventions. She is saved. But Arya...

Isabella: Edomont?! The capital?! Why didn't we thought that before!

S: Before you go, come with me.

(She directs the group to her shop. It was almost in tatters. Once a house and a proud shop, now just piles of ashes. Isabella looks at her missing arm.)

S: Don't worry, it can be replaced with a steel one.

(Isabella helps her remove the ruble and S punches the floor on her room to reveal a secret path. Inside were exceptional masterpieces.)

S: You should take it. My sisters and mother worked on this since we were taught how to make weapons and armors.

(The weapons had a magnificent aura and there was suits chips that can upgrade any system. S falls to the ground and Isabella rushed to aid her.)

S: Don't...worry. Just blood loss. I can give me a shot. Pass me that syringe.

(S injects herself and rests. Joss stands and with the help of Bahamut he exits the cave full of death with Roy's corpse. They land outside the Hall and he searches for the group. He spots Vita, whom accompanied by the Thunderwulf, stares at him.)

Joss: Vita, I am sorry for making you worry.

(Her eyes glitter with the tears. She runs and hugs him.)

Vita: Master!!!!!

Joss: You have grown quite a lot. You are no longer the child I rescued, but a woman. Thank you for taking care of me.

Vita: I know you would have done the same. Now we can go to Merlin and the rest!

Joss: I am sorry Vita, but I promised this people, also my friends that I would take care of this island. There's a psychopath that has done so much damage, that he needs to be stopped. Please, help me.

Vita: Of course! But...I don't like that Isabella girl...

(She inflates her cheeks with anger.)

Joss: Hahahaha! You always make my day. Now, where are they?

Vita: They went to that house. Some GM was shot, and they took the Arya girl.

Joss: What!? Dammit!!!

Vita: But the GM is alive. Another person saved her.

Joss: Thank God!

(Vita guides him to S shop.)

Bulwark: We need to go .. Now. Let's get the gear and go. Arya won't have much more time... They are going to continue their fucking research on her again just like when she was younger.... If they succeed... I'm afraid we are gonna have to put her down..

(He clenched his fist and tears fall with frustration and sadness. He puts on his gear and waits for Joss)

(Joss enters and hears what Bulwark says.)

S: I wouldn't recommend it either, tough guy. Edomont is a fortified city. I guess it is the base of operations. I know you have incredible tech but going against him is going against the King and that is equal to going against the entire island. We need to secure an entry first and then you can wreak havoc. My mother can help you in such matter, but her residency is deep within the city. You need to enter but by now they know all your faces.

(Joss remains silent.)

Joss: All but one...

(He turns to Vita.)

Joss: She can enter and secure a path to us.

S: Well if she can enter...

Joss: This will be our last battle. We must ready ourselves.

(He enters the house and looks around for any possible weapon. He grabs a lance with shield and scans several other things. S examines a map of Edomont with them, pointing all entrances, shops, important places and where the King resides.)

S: That covers everything. I wish you luck and take that son of a bitch down.

(Joss thanks the smith and gets ready to board Bahamut with Isabella and Vita. While getting ready, he notices that Isabella had a worried face. He goes near her and pats her head.)

Joss: We will save her, I promise.

(She shares a small smile and jumps on Bahamut. Vita gets a little jealous and rides in front of Joss.)

Joss: Bulwark, we will land near the town, so they cannot see us. Once there, we will proceed with the plan.

Bulwark: Got it, see you there. So, S ... What's your strongest blade?)

S: Well...

(She directs Bulwark to a small space. A tremendous sword lays on the wall. It changed colors.)

S: This...was the sword the father of Isabella used. He trained Arya with it. When he died, she begged me to guard it. Now, it would bring her joy if you rescued her, just like her father did.

(The sword let out a strong aura.)

(Bulwark holds it and feels the mighty energy in it. He scans it and the armor makes a holster for it and then covers it in armor plating to hide it. The blade is so long that it creates an armor like cape.)

Bulwark: This... This will be our victory for sure. Thank you, S.

S: Take it with pride and save your girl, big boy.

(After 20 minutes of flying, Joss arrives on the outskirts of Edomont. Everything looks the same. People walking happily, families together.)

Joss: Vita, now is your turn.

Vita: Ok master.

Isabella: Master?!

Joss: I'll tell you the story if we survive this day.
