"A ship... hmm..." He put his hand on his chin, thinking. It was a quick thought. Since he trusted Jumkou enough, he was willing to lend his own ship to her. "You could use mine. It's of latest high-tech and it can get you to Earth in less than a week. The hangar is on-" "W-WHAT?" Jumkou was more than surprised. This is not common behaviour! Are all Testharians like this? I can't believe it! "H-hold your horses... You couldn't possibly just lend over your ship to an outsider!" She tried to reason. Testharians are known to be very generous and helpful. Getting no for an answer to something that they could use was one of the rarest things to happen in Testharia. But the ship of the Eria?! It's unheard of! "You're in a hurry, Jumkou... My ship is the fastest out of any, and besides... I trust you enough." "... I... thank you, Sachiel. I shall depart immediately. I'm sorry for your loss." "Don't be sorry. We will rebuild." And so, Jumkou stood up and walked to the elevator. "... Which floor was the hangar?" She stopped, looking back. "The 55th floor." He answered almost instantly. "55... 55... okay, thank you!" She stepped into the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, another thought lingered in her mind. She couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy about giving Flynnigan such a huge responsibility. What if he fails? What if he gets killed? From what she has gathered, he was just a kid in this timeline. How can he be of any help to her? "Ahh..." She sighed. She's already made up her mind about it. He is the only one who can change the future. The only one who can prevent Kaioshun from plunging the entire galaxy in darkness. Flynnigan, the Call of the Gods. Kaioshun, the Coming. She had no reason to believe otherwise. The bullshit Kaioshun spouted out about Flynnigan being the Coming instead is the biggest load of crap she's ever heard. There's no way that would happen. What does Kaioshun know anyway? In hindsight, believing in a fairy tale was probably a bad idea. But she had no other choice to believe in a fairy tale. Her timeline was a mess. Her timeline was uninhabitable, unliveable... unthinkable. The war destroyed her timeline. So it was either this moment... or never again. Not even Jumkou knows how many times she has probably repeated this. Frequent panic attacks. Frequent panic attacks. It’s eating my mind away. I’m tired of this shit, so this time... it WILL work. As the elevator doors opened to the 55th floor, she walked out and immediately saw Sachiel's personal ship. An orange-white sleek design, with an open door and a small stair to step in. There are several thrusters attached at the bottom, as well as an extended engine at the back. It was huge. She stood there for a few seconds and felt like this was a huge responsibility. But she had to do it. She can't fail now, not when she's come so far. Testharians have given her enough hospitality to let her rest for as long as she wanted. Now, she has to return the favour and save the world. "...toria... Miss Katatoria!" A familiar voice got louder as the girl came closer to her. "Huh-?" Jumkou turned slowly, seeing Asheera hastily walking towards her. "Asheera!" Jumkou was genuinely happy to see her. "Pardon... my interruption... Sachiel forgot to give you something." She would take something out of her pocket, giving it to her. It was like a walkie-talkie in the form of a singular button. Whenever it was pressed, it would directly connect to Sachiel's personal communication frequency. It was like an instant message sender. "... Just in case... something happens on Earth." Asheera said while breathing heavily. She really did run all the way here to give Jumkou the button. "... Thanks." She said, taking it and putting it in her own pocket. "Safe voyage, Miss... Katatoria." She would have a big smile on her face. = = = 10 hours ago A troop transport would land outside what would've been the main entrance to Zephite City a few hours after it's destruction.
