“... What? How did they-” Mica was in shock, she couldn't believe her eyes. the Sun Burner isn't a trivial thing to stop as it equates to a force of half an atom bomb. It's essentially a railgun with outrageous energy. The Sun Burner's beam started to die down; its energy dissipating into the atmosphere. The trio of Soul-Wielders let out a sigh of relief, their arms falling to their sides. “H-heh...” Spiker joined the Royal Forces, jumping with immense force, landing behind them with a small crater beneath them. He shifted back to his hybrid form. “Hi...” He said, he was scratching the back of his head in a nervous manner. His ears drooped as he looked at the three. His eyes, however, went on the older girl. “Thank you... for helping us.” Mica looked around as she got off Spiker's back, spotting Unger in the distance impaled by a huge piece of metal and surrounded by multiple bodies of his own soldiers. The metal had pierced through his chest, his lifeless eyes staring at the sky. The fight was over, for now. The White Eye and Soul-Core soldiers happily gave their lives away for the protection of the Royal Forces. Without them, the forces would've been overwhelmed by the sheer number of Dark Intrinium soldiers. The girl with the pink hair turned to Spiker and Mica, a small smile on her face. “There is no need for sentiment. We only did what was necessary.” She had a soft and gentle voice, like a gentle breeze on a summer's day. Her tone was formal, as expected of a member of the royal family. “... We heard of Testharia joining the fight against Dark Intrinium, but we did not expect to see you here.” Spiker continued, his ears perking up. “We are honoured by your presence.” “Ahh, royalty!” Mica grinned, excited to see the princess. The man with golden hair spoke up, his voice deep and as commanding as it could be. Both exhibited a calm demeanour. “The Great Kamisword dispatched us here. He has ordered us to aid the Star Gazer Squad and the Special Division in their efforts to liberate the Diamat region. We were on our way when we received a distress signal from your ship.” “Kenel's alive, thank the stars...” Mica said, her heart swelling with relief. The brown-haired girl rested her fists against her waist, grinning. “Ye' shoulda be yee lot happier, ya big dog! Dat beam ain't no joke!” Her accent was thick and unfamiliar to both Mica and Spiker. “Your actions saved countless lives, and for that, we are eternally grateful.” Spiker gave a deep bow. “We are in your debt.” The woman with pink hair shook her head, her long hair swaying. “An ally in need shall receive the necessary help. It is the duty of the Royal Testharian Forces to protect those who cannot protect themselves.” .:. And for me to atone for my own sins... .:. She thought to herself. The air was filled with a sense of relief and hope. The war was far from over, but for now, they had won a small victory. The presence of the Royal Forces brought a new sense of strength and determination to the exhausted soldiers. Spiker and Mica exchanged a glance, a silent understanding passing between them. They had faced a great challenge and had come out of it alive, and they had made new allies in the process. “Your names, if you will?” Spiker asked. “I'm Asheera Eria.” The pink-haired girl pointed to herself. “Next to me is Marin Deseri. That guy there is an oldie, Maduk Numa.” Asheera pointed at the two respectively. Marin did a little wave, and Maduk gave a curt nod. Spiker's eyes lit up in recognition. “Ah, Claude spoke highly of you, Your Highness. It is a pleasure to meet you.” “Please, drop the honorifics... I've had enough of that back home.” Asheera replied. .:. Because I don't deserve it. .:. The Great Kamisword, Sachiel Eria, didn't really give her the dispatch order. She had taken the initiative herself, wanting to atone for her past mistakes. Establishing an alliance between the Dark Intrinium and Testharia brought an imminent Hell upon her home, and if she could at l
