----Chapter 33 - FINAL----
Written By
David Kenneth Lacey
The next morning, both Sebastion and Cesario are seen to walk through a part of Hilayornia-
Sebastion Luisant
...
Cesario Luisant
...
As the two go, they will soon come up to the base of the Umbrella, where they will go inside of an elevator and insert a special keycard into the wall of the elevator. This will cause the elevator to descend to a specific level that is not seen normally, to which the two men will then depart from the elevator-
Sebastion Luisant
...
Cesario Luisant
...
Unbeknownst to the two men, back inside of the elevator in the top area, several men will have ridden it down with them, to which they will nod to each other-as they prepare to move in-
Unknown RF members
!..."nods"
After this, both Sebastion and Cesario will arrive at a special circular room that has several monitors all over the walls and even the floors. In the center of the room, a throne is seen, where a "woman" is seen sitting down. She is a Hyper-AndroIs and is seen to have several wires hooked up to her hair, which connect to a group of servers around her.
As this individual sits in her throne, she then greets both Sebastion and Cesario kindly-
SYSTEM-DESTINY
...Welcome, Sebastion and Cesario. I just finished my systems check, to which I can take complete control of every Superior Splendor that will be going to space today.
Sebastion Luisant
Excellent. With this, everything is set for the final showdown.
Cesario Luisant
Indeed...but, I hope father knows what he's doing, as Bijou might hesitate using the Liberty ErotiCake to end this war...
Cesario says this in a worried tone, to which SYSTEM-DESTINY proceeds to clear up his doubt by saying-
SYSTEM-DESTINY
That presents no problem, as I can control that ErotiCake if I need to. It might not be my place to say, but you should believe in your little sister-since she is family and all.
Cesario Luisant
Right...my bad.
With that, SYSTEM-DESTINY turns around in her throne, as she says-
SYSTEM-DESTINY
The launch of the White Block will begin in just under an hour. There are refreshments just over there, so please, get comfortable for the show.
Sebastion Luisant
Thanks, Destiny...
With that, the two men proceed to sit down and wait for the launch. Then, the scene transitions back to Wippertan-
"Scene Transition"
Back in Wippertan, Bijou and her friends are seen at the cemetery from before once more. The war memorial hasn't seen much change from when they were here prior, but a few new names have been added, along with several bouquets that were brought by many others-including Bijou and her friends. As they pray for those who have lost their lives in this war, Bijou is seen to be headstrong and ready for the task that she is expected to execute today-
Bijou Luisant
...
Bijou now stands up and looks solemn in her stance. Concerned, Chole will then stand up next to her and ask-
Chole Madison
...Bijou? Are you...are you sure you're ok with how things could end today?
Bijou Luisant
...
After a moment of hesitation, Bijou replies-
Bijou Luisant
...It is too late...to even try to do anything that could save the Ascension, Charlotte. My father and the rest of my family have gone to great lengths to ensure that there is no way they could've reasonably survived this war...
Chole Madison
...But still...
Isaac Carter
...
Isaac looks as if he too wants to say something, but Bijou cuts him off before he can, saying-
Bijou Luisant
Sigh...look at the bright side. After this, we can pick up the pieces and move on with our lives, as I'll become the President of the DIC and make sure that something this extreme never occurs again.
Isaac then says the obvious-
Isaac Carter
...And all it takes is the destruction of 10,000,000 Ascension people...
Bijou Luisant
!...
Bijou freezes at the thought of murdering 10 million Ascension-even if they aren't Consumers. Chole then says-
Chole Madison
...I can't help but think...that we are the bad guys here...
While Bijou will think the same thing, she will say-
Bijou Luisant
...Let's just go and get this over with...
Chole Madison
...
Isaac Carter
...
While Bijou will take the first steps to head back to the waiting limo for her and her friends, both Chole and Isaac will be more hesitant. Despite this, the two will decide to follow Bijou at the least, to which they will then rush to Bijou's side from behind and then get inside of the limo-
Limo
"Doors Closing"
"VRRRRRM!!"
As the limo drives off, Bijou and her friends now make their way back to the White Block. As they go, Bijou will see several Superior Splendors standing on the hull of the Cerberus Midnight-which is seen docked at the Barracks from before-
B3 Superior Splendors
...
Bijou Luisant
!...
Seeing this, Bijou will realize that everyone from the two Corps that arrived in Truxem are here in Wippertan. She will think to herself-
Bijou Luisant
"...If those two Corps are here, then that should also mean Chocolate and Vanilla are also here. Guess this means that...I have to perform as I'm expected to..."
With this, Bijou will be surer of what she has to do today, as the limo then takes her back to the White Block.
Once back, Bijou arrives to the front door, President Sacha is waiting for Bijou to return. As the doors to the limo open-
Limo
"Doors Opening"
Out comes Bijou and her friends, to which President Sacha greets her-
President Sacha Luisant
...Welcome back, Bijou. Are you ready for the last step?
Bijou Luisant
...Yes, father. I'm ready to go.
Bijou says, as Chole and Isaac then join her. The two want to look irritated towards President Sacha, but will hold back their feelings, as President Sacha finishes up by saying-
President Sacha Luisant
This will be the last time I'll be able to call myself President, as after we finish this war...that label will belong to you. Naturally, your duties will come shortly afterwards, but your brothers will help you out-along with Andrea and her friends.
Bijou Luisant
...Good. I don't think I could move things forward without their guidance.
Now, President Sacha Luisant will move aside for Bijou, as he invites her to come inside of the front doors to the White Block. Bijou and her friends take the hint and go inside, as on the large roof of the White Block, all five ErotiCakes are seen, ready for takeoff-
Liberty ErotiCake
...
President ErotiCake
...
Vice President ErotiCake
...
Republican ErotiCake
...
Democratic ErotiCake
...
The scene then transitions-
"Scene Transition"
As Bijou, Chole and Isaac board the Liberty ErotiCake, President Sacha will do the same into his President ErotiCake-
President Sacha Luisant
...
As he does, he will now have a flashback-
----FLASHBACK----
Sometime yesterday evening, President Sacha will have meet with a woman-Ginnette Pinnacle, who is the mother of Howard Pinnacle-somewhere in the Confederation. Ginnette is seen to be baking something, while Sacha sits in her house-
President Sacha Luisant
...
As President Sacha waits, he will be seen to be very patient, as Ginnette then comes in from the kitchen-with a plate of cookies. She then says-
Ginnette Pinnacle
...Mmm...these cookies came out perfectly this time, Sacha.
President Sacha Luisant
I can tell. The smell is just like you always make them...
The woman says this tenderly, as President Sacha replies kindly. She then places the tray of cookies onto the table for them to eat, to which they proceed to do now-
Ginnette Pinnacle
"Crunch!!" "Crunch!!"
President Sacha Luisant
"Crunch!!"
After eating just a few of these cookies, Ginnette then proceeds to place the remaining cookies on the tray into a container for President Sacha to take with him. He smiles as she does this, to which she then says-
Ginnette Pinnacle
I'll go ahead and let you take these with you back to the DIC. Afterall, you need your energy to bring my "former son" back here to me.
The woman says, as she gives President Sacha the container of cookies. Sacha then speaks-
President Sacha Luisant
...I'm sorry about all of this, Ginn...
To which Ginnette then replies-
Ginnette Pinnacle
Don't be. Howard was always a person who created trouble wherever he went-even when he was young. It's a bad trait of his that I wish I had seen...especially before that "incident"...
President Sacha Luisant
!...
Ginnette Pinnacle
...But even so...I know how heavy the burden is that you are carrying inside of you, Sacha. That's why, I'll let you deal with him as you see fit.
President Sacha Luisant
...Thank you, Ginnette.
President Sacha now has a look of sorrow on his face, which is something that has not been seen before in him. He then closes his eyes and kindly takes the container of cookies into his worn hands. Sacha then quietly stands up and leaves, not muttering another word-ending the flashback-
----FLASHBACK END----
Back in the President ErotiCake, President Sacha sees the container of cookies nearby, to which he then refocuses his attention to activating his President ErotiCake-
President Sacha Luisant
...Oberon. We are ready to end this...
President Sacha says, as he speaks to an open comms to Oberon. Now, inside of the White Block's command room, Oberon will be seen to be at the controls, to which he then replies-
Director Oberon Luisant
Of course...!
Now, the White Block is seen to be disconnected from the Umbrella, before activating it's EffectPhase Armor and then it slowly begins to rise up into the air-
White Block
!
As it does, it emerges in its Block mode and starts to head upwards-towards low space. As this happens, the Cerberus Midnight is also seen to activate it's EffectPhase Armor and follow behind it-while transforming into a humanoid form-
Cerberus Midnight
!
As these two huge ships ascend into the skies, they will head directly towards Mainland, as the scene then transitions-
"Scene Transition"
Within Mainland, in one of the hangers, the Ascension are seen preparing for a fight with the DIC-
Ascension Operator #1 (intercoms)
Attention all AndroIs. Prepare for immediate engagement with the DIC.
AndroIs
...
Superior Splendors
...
As many AndroIs head to their waiting Superior Splendors, in a changing room nearby, Princess General Azalea is seen-along with her sister Princess Media-
Princess General Azalea Ascension
"Getting Dressed"
Princess Media Ascension
...
As Princess General Azalea gets dressed in a pilot uniform, she will then finish and look to her sister behind her. Princess Media will already be dressed and ready to go, but her expression will be dark-
Princess Media Ascension
...
Princess General Azalea Ascension
!...
Noticing her anger, Princess General Azalea will sit down next to her and asks-
Princess General Azalea Ascension
Media...are you ready the DIC your anger?
To which Media replies-as she looks at her sister-
Princess Media Ascension
Of course, Azalea. While I've never piloted a Superior Splendor before, I should be fine if I just follow your lead.
Princess General Azalea Ascension
...
Media speaks with hate in her eyes, to which Azalea notices and then speaks-
Princess General Azalea Ascension
...You're shivering, Media...
Princess Media Ascension
!...
Princess Media now looks at her hands, and true enough, she's shaking. Frustratedly, Media responds by clenching her fists, before speaking.
Princess Media Ascension
...I'm just...tense...is all.
Hearing this, Princess General Azalea will offer some comforting words to her youngest sister, as she says-
Princess General Azalea Ascension
...Same here. Clearly Mother is also tense about what she's about to do...but, I want...revenge...for what the DIC did to Fayola...
Princess Media Ascension
...
Now, Media looks back at Azalea and sees something remarkable in her face. Azalea has a serious look on her face, while tears swell up in her eyes, which amazes Media. Despite this, Azalea holds back her tears, and then speaks-
Princess Media Ascension
!
Princess General Azalea Ascension
We'll destroy them...when they come to our home, we'll destroy them...
Princess Media Ascension
...Yes, Azalea.
After this scene, elsewhere, in the throne room, Queen Alexandra and Rhapsody are seen to be presiding over their space fleet. On the monitors, many AA Superior Splendors start to launch from several hangers and then take up defensive positions around the front of the Mainland. One AA Capital Dreadnought belonging to Captain Esyllt is seen briefly, along with another similar ship-commanded by several unknown Ascension individuals-
Captain Esyllt Requiem
...
Random Ascension Captain
...
Then, Queen Alexandra speaks to Rhapsody, who now have her costume on again-
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...Rhapsody...are you ready?
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
Yes, Alexandra. I need to be here to speak with my daughter, as I'm certain her father has convinced her to destroy the Ascension. I'm not going to let that man corrupt her mind with his way of thinking, as I won't allow my only child to become a mass murderer today.
The Lady in Black says this strongly, to which Queen Alexandra asks-
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...Well said. But, if she still doesn't come around, will you throw away that mask and costume?
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
Of course...though, I really liked wearing it up until now. Honestly, it reminds me of how children used to dress during Halloween...those days seem like a distant memory now...
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...
Queen Alexandra looks at Rhapsody from her throne with a curious look, as Rhapsody thinks to herself-
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
*...Bijou...will you listen to me, even after all of this time...?*
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...! Here they come.
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
!
Now attentive, the two ladies look at the main monitor to the White Block and transformed Cerberus Midnight approaching Mainland-
White Block
...!
Cerberus Midnight
...!
As these two vessels approach, their Superior Splendors will begin to launch around them and fly-even in low orbit around the planet. As they head out, among them is many DIC Superior Splendors, some of which are piloted by.
Lt. General Phoenixx Marshall
...
Lt. General Sampson Simpson
...
Maj. General Vanilla Talent
...
Maj. General Chocolate Crackers
...
After their revel, pilots such as Courtney, her two girlfriends, Jhonathan and Charlotte will not be present at this time.
On the head of the White Block, President Sacha is then seen to move his President ErotiCake forward.
President Sacha Luisant
!
President Sacha moves his ErotiCake to the forefront of the White Block. As he does, he will then get a contact from Mainland, as his comms begins beeping-
*Beep Beep* *Beep Beep*
President Sacha Luisant
Hm?
Slightly surprised, Sacha then looks at the panel in front of him and speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
...This contact...is coming from the throne room in Mainland...hmmm....
President Sacha now thinks to himself.
President Sacha Luisant
*...The Ascension shouldn't have any idea of what we are about to do...why does she want to talk to me now of all times...?*
Curious, Sacha can't help but want to know why Queen Alexandra is contacting him once more. He then answers the contact, and it's-
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...Ah, Mr. President. Thank goodness I managed to contact you right now.
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
...
President Sacha Luisant (comms)
...Alexandra. And...your successor, I assume. To what do you have business with me today?
Now in front of Sacha, he sees both Queen Alexandra and the Lady in Black. Behind her mask, she silently grits her teeth, as she thinks about how Sacha has let her daughter fight in this war.
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
*...Sacha...what were you thinking...letting our daughter risk her life in this war??!!!*
Queen Alexandra slyly notices how enraged Rhapsody is getting. Quickly, she speaks.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
I was actually hoping you would tell me, as I can plainly see that you've brought a sizable fleet to our doorstep. Were you plotting to use them against us-the Ascension from Above?
President Sacha Luisant (comms)
...That is none of your concern. Just know that this war that you began ends today.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...
Queen Alexandra thinks to herself.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
*Damn...how do I get Sacha to let me contact Bijou?! Do I just be direct and ask him? Would he even allow it?!*
President Sacha Luisant (comms)
...If you have nothing else to say to me, Alexandra, then let us do battle...
Queen Alexandra Ascension
*Gh! I need to act, NOW!!!*
Now, Alexandra speaks.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
Wait, Mr. President!!
President Sacha Luisant (comms)
...?
President Sacha looks slightly confused, as he has a curious look on his face. Then, Queen Alexandra speaks.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...Please...if you would be so kind...I'd like it very much if I could speak to the pilot of the Liberty ErotiCake...?
President Sacha Luisant (comms)
...And what business could you possibly have with my daughter?
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
...!
Rhapsody is about to snap, but quickly, Queen Alexandra speaks-
Queen Alexandra Ascension
Well, you see...my daughters met with her once while they were searching for the abandoned Ascension Laboratory. As such, I'd simply like to see what they saw in her...before we do this.
President Sacha Luisant
...
President Sacha looks down on Queen Alexandra and Rhapsody from the monitor in front of them. The two have to put up with it, and then, Sacha speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
...Honestly, my dear Alexandra...for your final words, I'd thought you'd have something more interesting to say to me.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...I just want to speak with Bijou...please. If you could just give me a minute with her, it would mean the world to me...
President Sacha Luisant
So you can try to convince her to come to your side?
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...
President Sacha Luisant
...
Now, Sacha thinks-
President Sacha Luisant
*It's obvious that she wants to talk to Bijou to try and convince her to not destroy the Ascension. ...But, even if Bijou won't fire, I can still do the honors myself if I have to...*
Now, Sacha looks at the Lady in Black, who is still silent. President Sacha then thinks.
President Sacha Luisant
*...But, who is that person standing next to Alexandra? ...And what's with that outfit? ...This wasn't in our grand plan...*
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...Well, Mr. President? Will you allow me to speak with her or not?
President Sacha Luisant
!
President Sacha realizes that he's still being sought after by Alexandra. He then speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
...Alright. I will allow you to communicate with my daughter.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
Ah! Thank you very much, Sacha.
President Sacha Luisant
However, I will be tuning in to make sure you don't say anything that could hinder my daughter from what I've asked of her today.
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
!
Rhapsody is now fuming, but she holds herself back long enough for Queen Alexandra to continue speaking.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
Of course, Mr. President. And thank you once again.
President Sacha Luisant
...
With that, President Sacha contacts Bijou and connects her onto the same line that he is using. After a screen transition, their interaction begins.
Bijou Luisant
...What? The Ascension Queen wishes to speak to me?
Bijou, who is inside of the Liberty ErotiCake, is surprised when her father contacts her. He then speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
Yes. Most likely she wants to try and dissuade you from firing the Liberty Blaster at Mainland, which will then end this war.
Bijou Luisant
...This is already hard enough for me to go through, father...
President Sacha Luisant
I know...but, your role today can be passed onto me, if you are too swept up in the words of Alexandra.
Bijou Luisant
...
President Sacha Luisant
And...I'm sure you already know what's at stake here, Bijou, so I know that you will still carry out the duty that you wanted to be a part of at the beginning of this...Operation. The lives of everyone in the DIC...no, the whole world of over 2 billion people lives is now riding on the decision that you will make here, today.
Bijou Luisant
...I know, father...
President Sacha Luisant
Then, this will be your final test before you become President of the DIC. Go ahead and speak to Alexandra. I will of course be connected with you.
Bijou Luisant
Yes.
Bijou's friends all look at Bijou as she says this, as it seems that Bijou is set in destroying the Ascension today. They have looks of confusion and regret, but Bijou has a somewhat firm look in her eyes. She then connects to Alexandra, and-
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...Ah, so you are Bijou Luisant, the person who my daughters speak of.
Bijou Luisant
...
Alexandra continues.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
I heard from my daughters that you are quite an interesting person. Would you care to have a small conversation with me, young lady?
Bijou Luisant
...No.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...Excuse me?
Bijou Luisant
I said no. I can't...let myself be dissuaded by you right now...
Bijou now looks away from Alexandra, as tears start to form in her eyes. Bijou speaks.
Bijou Luisant
...I...I began this journey 7 months ago because...I thought that just because I was the daughter of the President I could waltz into a warzone and do whatever I pleased. I thought I could save everyone that I met back then just because I'm the president's daughter...but, I learned the hard way that kind of wishful thinking...was just me being childish!!!
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
!...
Rhapsody, who is still next to Alexandra, shows deep concern for Bijou, as she now calms down and listens. Bijou continues.
Bijou Luisant
As time went on, I unknowingly became entangled in my father's hidden agenda, to which I became his pawn in all of this. I...never thought my father had such a plan in store for all of us...and sometimes, I wish I never climbed into this ErotiCake and instead let my brothers pilot it instead...
President Sacha Luisant
...
Democratic Leader Pierre Luisant
...
Republican Leader Nicholas Luisant
...
Director Oberon Luisant
...
Sacha, Pierre, Nicholas and Oberon are all listening into this conversation as well. Bijou then begins to wrap up her speech.
Bijou Luisant
...But...after I do this one thing, I'll become the President of the DIC, where I'll make sure that something like this NEVER happens again. I will never allow the creation of a race like the Ascension ever again...as so many people who had bright futures ahead of them will never have that chance again...and many more had their lives forever destroyed after all the bloodshed...
Chole Madison
...
Isaac Carter
...
Bijou's friends are then seen. Back on Gleen, many more people's faces are seen, showing how the war has left them scarred for life. Then, Bijou finishes up her speech.
Bijou Luisant
...All I have to do...is pull this trigger...MYSELF!!!!!
Now, Bijou has the Liberty ErotiCake move forward-as President Sacha is seen and has an evil look over his face, as he gently pushes up his glasses. Once the Liberty ErotiCake has moved into position, Bijou then engages the Liberty Blaster, and charges it up to 200% once more. The Liberty ErotiCake's face is seen to have an evil look, and then inside the cockpit, Bijou now has her finger on the trigger. Bijou speaks.
Bijou Luisant
...Ngh...
Bijou then begins to cry, as she speaks.
Bijou Luisant
I cannot be torn away from this Operation that my father made, Alexandra!!! I'm...I'm SORRY!!!!! I'M SO SORRY!!!!!
Now, just as Bijou is about to fire the Liberty ErotiCake, Rhapsody jumps forward and speaks.
Rhapsody Luisant (Lady in Black)
STOP IT, Bijou!!! You mustn't fire that weapon!!!!!
Bijou Luisant
!...EH?!
President Sacha Luisant
?!
Everyone
?!
Now, the Lady in Black darts forward while speaking that. Bijou then responds.
Bijou Luisant
Who...who are you?! Wait....your voice...I remember it from somewhere...
Bijou says, as the Lady in Black approaches. After Bijou finishes speaking, the Lady in Black then responds.
Lady in Black
...Even though it's been just 8 years...you should remember me, Bijou. Afterall...
Bijou Luisant
...Gasp!!!
Now, the Lady in Black takes off her mask and revels her face to Bijou and Sacha on the screen. What Bijou sees shocks her to her core.
Bijou Luisant
!...MOTHER??!!!
Chole Madison
!
Isaac Carter
!
President Sacha Luisant
?!
Vice President Georges Luisant
?!
Democratic Leader Pierre Luisant
?!
Republican Leader Nicholas Luisant
?!
Director Oberon Luisant
?!
Rhapsody Luisant
*Smiles*
Everyone who sees this is stunned by the revel of Rhapsody. Sacha then speaks-
President Sacha Luisant
...By the Goddess...Rhapsody, you're alive...
Rhapsody, who was looking fondly at her daughter on the monitor with a smile, now turns and looks at Sacha. As she turns her head, her kind smile disappears. Rhapsody then speaks to Sacha.
Rhapsody Luisant
Yes, Sacha. I'm still alive...and allied with the Ascension now.
President Sacha Luisant
!...I see...and what did you think you'd accomplish by allying with them, Rhapsody?
Rhapsody Luisant
...I managed to get my hands on your Operation document, Sacha.
President Sacha Luisant
...
Rhapsody gets the Operation document that Queen Alexandra gave to her. Rhapsody then raises it up, to which Sacha speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
...Hmph...that version was the first draft of my Grand Plan, Rhapsody. Did you know that?
Rhapsody Luisant
No, Sacha. But thank you for clearing that up for us, at least.
Rhapsody then puts down the document, as Sacha then speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
We never detailed the end of my plan in that first draft...I guess you wouldn't have an idea of what we am going to do here today?
Rhapsody Luisant
Indeed. That's why...I'd like to ask to you stop your plans right now, Sacha. If you do...then I will return to your side as your wife, and the Ascension can then live on in peace using Mainland.
Alexandra looks determined, just like Rhapsody, indicating that she would go along with this idea. However, Sacha then speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
...And if I refuse?
Rhapsody Luisant
!
Rhapsody looks rather surprised at this comment. She then replies.
Rhapsody Luisant
...Then, you can consider our marriage over, as I will do whatever I can to ensure that the Ascension survive beyond this Operation of yours.
President Sacha Luisant
....
Everyone's eyes are now on the President, who now has his eyes closed. Bijou's friends all silently watch to see how the situation will unfold. Bijou herself is seen to be gripping her fist, as she clenches her teeth at this shocking revelation. Then, all around, many faces of many Pilots are then seen. Sampson, Phoenixx, Cobalt and many other faces are seen in their Superior Splendors, patiently waiting for the signal from the Aliens. The signal has still yet to come, to which after this is shown, Sacha then speaks, as he opens his eyes.
President Sacha Luisant
...In order to have come to this point, I had to sacrifice many civilians' lives, Rhapsody. I had to watch from afar so many good men and women die in order to adhere to the plan that I constructed with SYSTEM-DESTINY...and then...I also had to bear the sin of letting our own daughter watch Rebecca be killed...
Rhapsody Luisant
W-WHAT??!!!
Rhapsody says, confused, to which she doesn't understand what Sacha means because he won't go into further detail. Bijou is then seen.
Bijou Luisant
Ngh...
Bijou's eyes start to swell up, as she's looks to the side with tears forming in her eyes again. Rhapsody then speaks.
Rhapsody Luisant
...Then, that's all the more reason for you to stop this-
President Sacha Luisant
WE HAVE COME TOO FAR TO BACK DOWN NOW, RHAPSODY!!!!!
Rhapsody Luisant
!
Bijou Luisant
!
President Sacha raises his voice, which does shock Rhapsody and Bijou a little. Sacha then speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
...I'm sorry for my outburst...but I can't stop things here...even for you, my love...Rhapsody...
Rhapsody Luisant
...
Rhapsody then closes her eyes. A moment later, she then opens her eyes once more.
Rhapsody Luisant
...Then, I'm sure you know what you must do before you go through with this, right...?
Rhapsody then raises her left hand, reveling a ring on her left ring finger. Sacha takes the hint and follows suit.
President Sacha Luisant
...This time, I'll be the one to say it first...farewell, my love.
Rhapsody Luisant
...Farewell...my love.
At the same time, both Sacha and Rhapsody take off their rings and let them fall to the ground below themselves. As the rings then hit the ground, Sacha then takes out a device and speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
...With this, I'll stop Consumers from overusing our planet's finite resources and forge a path to the future!!
Rhapsody Luisant
...I'm sure you will...
With that, Sacha activates the device from his cockpit, which then shuts down all of the Superior Splendors around the AA Mainland. The process causes a light to come from each of the Superior Splendors, which acts as the "signal".
At the same time, a section at the front of the Mainlands opens up, which revels a bright light on top of a machine. Alexandra then speaks.
Queen Alexandra Ascension
...Dammit...he cut off the power!!!
Rhapsody Luisant
!...
Inside of the Frontiers that both Azalea and Media are piloting, Azalea speaks.
Princess Media Ascension
...Damn it, I can't move my Frontier!...
Princess General Azalea Ascension
Ghh...Were Howard and Stanley not able to help us after all?!
With the AA forces immobilized, Sacha now looks at the Liberty ErotiCake, which is still standing on the White Block. He contacts Bijou and speaks.
President Sacha Luisant
...Bijou. Can you-
Bijou Luisant
NO!!!!!
Bijou now crumbles in her seat, as she absolutely can't fire the Liberty Blaster. She speaks, as she cries.
Bijou Luisant
Please!!! Please don't make me...fire that horrible thing....at my own MOTHER!!!!
President Sacha Luisant
...
Bijou Luisant
"CRIES!!!!"
Bijou's friends look at Bijou with eyes of confusion and fear, as none of them can tell what's right and what's wrong right now. Seeing this, Sacha then speaks, as his eyes look disappointed in Bijou.
President Sacha Luisant
...I understand. SYSTEM-DESTINY? Can you hear me?
Back under the Pinnacle Department, SYSTEM-DESTINY is seen with Sebastion and Cesario in a room deep below the building. SYSTEM-DESTINY speaks.
SYSTEM-DESTINY
Yes, Sacha. I'm here.
President Sacha Luisant (comms)
Bijou isn't capable of finishing this anymore, and many of the Pilots up here aren't thinking straight, either. You have full access to end this yourself.
SYSTEM-DESTINY
I understand, Sacha.
Now, SYSTEM-DESTINY takes control of all of the DIC Blockades and Frontiers, including the Liberty ErotiCake. Surprised, Bijou speaks.
Bijou Luisant
Wha...what the hell is going on??!
Chole Madison
We aren't in control of the Liberty ErotiCake!!
Chole says, as she tries moving her controls. They don't respond to her commands, to which Isaac then speaks.
Isaac Carter
...Damn it!!!
As the Liberty ErotiCake is taken over, SYSTEM-DESTINY speaks-
SYSTEM-DESTINY
...Now is the time for the seal on the Liberty ErotiCake...to come undone.
As SYSTEM-DESTINY says this, back in the Liberty ErotiCake, the console in front of Bijou is seen to light up. Chole and Isaac speak up-.
Chole Madison
What...is this light?!
Isaac Carter
On the console...it says...
Bijou Luisant
!...EffectPhase Fabric...activated?!
As Bijou says this, the Liberty ErotiCake is seen to step forward, and as it does, it's armor is shed automatically-
Liberty ErotiCake
"Shedding Armor"
As the grey, metalic armor that once covered the Liberty ErotiCake falls off, underneath will be a smooth metal, which will then activate its own EffectPhase Fabric-much like the President ErotiCake-
Liberty ErotiCake
!
The color scheme is a combination of Red, White and Blue, with golden yellow long hair and eyes that match the Luisant's families-being with the right eye being blue and the left eye being golden. Once the color change has completed, a circular field of energy is seen around the Liberty ErotiCake for just a second, before it disappears. Now, the Liberty ErotiCake prepares to fire it's Liberty Blaster.
As this happens, SYSTEM-DESTINY is seen once more all the way back in Hilayornia. It speaks.
SYSTEM-DESTINY
With this...my grand plan will-
*EXPLOUSION!!!!!*
SYSTEM-DESTINY
?!
Sebastion Luisant
?!
Cesario Luisant
?!
At the elevator where Sebastion and Cesario had emerged from, an explosion now occurs. Surprised, SYSTEM-DESTINY, Sebastion and Cesario then look over to the blast, to which from the smoke emerges Howard, Stanley and a few well-armed soldiers. As they rush into the room, Sebastion and Cesario attempt to shoot at the intruders, but because Howard, Stanley and their allies dash at them with such speed, they are instantly upon the two brothers and then proceed to knock their weapons out from their hands before they can shoot at them. They then knock both men down onto the ground, where several soldiers will then hold them at gunpoint-
RF Soldier #1
Don't move!!
Sebastion Luisant
Damn...
With both Sebastion and Cesario counted out, Howard and Stanley then jump to where SYSTEM-DESTINY is and then easily sever her connection to the servers around her by removing her hair from the severs. SYSTEM-DESTINY screams out-
"THUD!!!!"
SYSTEM-DESTINY
NO!!!!! If I'm not hocked up to those servers, then I can't-
Now, Howard and Stanley turn to SYSTEM-DESTINY and speak.
Howard Pinnacle
...Now, we just need to do this-
SYSTEM-DESTINY
!
Howard then picks up SYSTEM-DESTINY and shoves her down to the ground next to both Cesario and Sebastion. The two brothers are pinned down with guns pointed at their heads and bodies. SYSTEM-DESTINY is shown to care for the two brothers, to which she then turns around and looks at what Howard and Stanley are doing. She then speaks.
SYSTEM-DESTINY
...What are you two doing?!
Howard Pinnacle
We know how to reactivate the Ascension's Superior Splendors from these notes that we have here. Then, we'll have all of those AI weapons join forces with the Ascension, so they can win against the White Block.
SYSTEM-DESTINY
Y-you fools!!! Don't you realize how little resources this planet has left?! I calculated all of the possibilities and this Operation that I gave Sacha and Georges was the only way to save Consumers!!!
Stanley Tempest
...
Howard Pinnacle
...
Both Howard and Stanley then pause what they are doing, which allows for Cesario and Sebastion to speak.
Sebastion Luisant
Please listen to us, you two. We don't have the time for your version of justice right now!!!
Cesario Luisant
If we continue to use up this planet's precious resources, then in less than 2 decades there will be nothing left!!! That's why we have to stop all of this fighting and live in space!!!
Howard Pinnacle
...What you say...is correct...however, allow me to ask you one question...SYSTEM-DESTINY?
Howard now turns around and looks at SYSTEM-DESTINY, who is still on the floor glaring at him. Howard then speaks.
Howard Pinnacle
Why were the Ascension made to be organics like us? Why not make them machines instead?
SYSTEM-DESTINY
...Such a simple question from you of all people, Howard.
Stanley Tempest
...Why you-!
Stanley steps forward in anger, but Howard holds him back. Howard asks again-
Howard Pinnacle
Tell me. Why?
SYSTEM-DESTINY
Because if the Ascension were machines, then the people of the DIC would've easily recognized that the Confederation was involved with their construction. Recall how the people would've responded to that, if it was discovered that the Ascension Princesses were machines instead of people-back when the Ascension took over the Pinnacle Department.
Howard Pinnacle
...They wouldn't have believed President Sacha's words back then and would suspected the Confederation instead...
SYSTEM-DESTINY
Precisely. That's why the Ascension had to be organics, as Consumers always label such entities as their enemies, just like in times of old back in the days of the old Confederation. The cycle of war against your own brothers and sisters is always by the side of consumers, as only they could ever truly hate another of their own kind so much that they would resort to ANY lengths to bring those that they don't agree with down.
SYSTEM-DESTINY
Only Consumers could resort to using such dirty tactics like sabotaging the lives of others for not supporting their preferred political leader, or lie about others behind their backs in order to remain in good favor to their religions. And you cannot deny that some Consumers will even resort to killing others of their own kind-simply out of fear of differing opinions on how to live life.
Stanley Tempest
!
SYSTEM-DESTINY
By your expression, I can tell...you agree with my words.
Howard Pinnacle
...
With his answer, Howard now grits his teeth, as does Stanley. Then, he turns around, provoking SYSTEM-DESTINY to speak to him.
SYSTEM-DESTINY
...Are you brutes still going to defy my calculations?!
Howard Pinnacle
Of course we are!!!
Howard says, as he angerly turns around to look at SYSTEM-DESTINY. He then speaks.
Howard Pinnacle
...Even though our actions here will most likely damn Consumers...and cause my family to damn my name...for the preservation of the pure and just Ascension, I will bear this sin by myself, in order to save the Ascension from the DIC!!!
SYSTEM-DESTINY
YOU FOOL!!!!!
With that, Howard engages his device, which then reactivates all of the AA Superior Splendors, and in turn, it disables all of the DIC Superior Splendors. Howard then contacts Azalea and speaks.
Princess General Azalea Ascension
...! My Frontier, it's-
Princess Media Ascension
Back online!!
At the same time, the Mainland also comes back into operation, but the device that could allow for the Ascension to be destroy is still deployed. Then, Howard contacts Azalea and speaks.
Howard Pinnacle (comms)
....Princess Azalea!!
Princess General Azalea Ascension
!...Howard?!
Howard Pinnacle (comms)
I've managed to stop SYSTEM-DESTINY control of your Superior Splendors. However, I can't seem to disengage that mechanism that could space the whole Ascension race, your mother and my wife in Mainland.
Both Azalea and Media look back at Mainland and see the device is still out. Howard speaks.
Howard Pinnacle (comms)
It's still operational, so you mustn't allow for the Liberty ErotiCake to fire at it!! Fortunately for you, I also have yet another gift for you.
Princess General Azalea Ascension
!
Princess Media Ascension
!
Now, all of the AI weapons and ships under the control of the DIC no longer respond to President Sacha's commands. Stunned by this shocking turn of events, Sacha, Pierre, Nicholas and Oberon are all that are able to retaliate, as the Cerberus Midnight and remaining Superior Splendors on the DIC side are also disabled.
Howard speaks-
Howard Pinnacle (comms)
...I'm now giving full control of all the DIC's AI space weapons to you, Princess Azalea. Use them to do whatever you wish to the White Block...
Princess General Azalea Ascension
...You have given us the chance to be free, Howard. In return, I'll grant you one wish while up here. Is there something you wish?
Howard Pinnacle (comms)
...The Liberty ErotiCake...Bijou is inside of it...
Princess General Azalea Ascension
...Yes, she is. Is that all?
Howard Pinnacle (comms)
...And...the dreadnought that she was on, the Midnight...she friends on that ship, I'm sure...
Princess General Azalea Ascension
I understand...
Howard Pinnacle (comms)
Thank you...
Princess General Azalea Ascension
No...thank you for saving us from the DIC, Howard. I'll make sure to send a ship down to you to pick you up in your submarine, the Seagull, which will bring you both to Mainland. Afterall...your wife is going to be giving birth soon...I'm sure you'll want to be there for that.
Howard Pinnacle (comms)
! ...No...but, we should still get it over with anyway...
Princess General Azalea Ascension
...I see...
With that, Azalea announces her new orders to all of her AndroIs and the AI Weapons. They are to destroy the DIC space fleet, while leaving the Liberty ErotiCake and the Cerberus Midnight alone. Azalea also makes sure to have the legions of AI Superior Splendors target Rusty's Frontier with the intent of disabling his Frontier so that they may bring him to Mainland as well. With that, the AndroIs in the AA Superior Splendors take aim, as does the many thousands of AI weapons, and then just as they fire, the screen transitions.
During the battle, many AI weapons destroy countless numbers of DIC Superior Splendors. Sampson and Phoenixx are the first ones to be seen to be killed-in front of Vanilla and Chocolate. They do so while protecting their successors. After this, Pierre, Nicholas and Oberón will also die in the battle, as the White Block will be targeted and will be heavily damaged-but NOT fully destroyed. Cobalt will be mostly protecting the Cerberus Midnight, to which he will then have his RageLion Blockade be critically damaged. He will then make an emergency crash landing on the Cerberus Midnight, to which the AI Superior Splendors will then consider him to be a part of the Cerberus Midnight and won't attack him further.
As for Sacha and Georges, Sacha will now manage to rip off the Liberty Blaster from the Liberty ErotiCake and aim it at the Mainland-but before he can fire it, it will be destroyed by a shot from Media in her Frontier. After a short battle between the two sisters and Sacha/Georges, Sacha and Georges will then come under assault from the many thousands of AI-controlled Superior Splendors, to which they will all attack the President ErotiCake and Vice President ErotiCake. The attacks will be too much for them to bear, to which just before both ErotiCakes are destroyed, both men will then send out a message to the whole of the DIC, telling everyone to escape from their islands as fast as they can before the Ascension destroy them all. After sending out this message, the two men will then continue to struggle for a little more, before stopping their resistance, to which they will then open their cockpits, prompting both Azalea and Media to halt the attacks from their forces. "Bodies" of both men will appear to come out of their ErotiCakes, to which both Azalea and Media will then personally take a shot and presumably kill both men.
After this is seen, Vanilla and Chocolate will almost be destroyed, but will be able to get to the critically damaged Cerberus Midnight, just as it begins to fall towards the Confederation. The Liberty ErotiCake will also be critically damaged and will then crash onto the now ruined Cerberus Midnight, as it begins to plummet down towards the Confederation. With this, the Ascension will claim victory-but in order to ensure that the DIC will not retaliate, Queen Alexandra will then move their secret dreadnought armed with Kinetic warheads in front of the DIC from space and will then proceed launch the kinetic warheads-destroying the whole of the DIC. In just a few moments, over 1.3 billion people will die from this action, to which very few people will've been able to escape this atrocity.
With the Ascension claiming victory, Alexandra will have a small chat with Rhapsody, as Rhapsody will now feel that she can never return to her daughter. Alexandra will agree-but she will still welcome Rhapsody to stay with her, to which Rhapsody will agree to. Back on Gleen, where Hilayornia used to be, Howard and Stanley will have long since fled Hilayornia with their three captives, and then Princess General Azalea will then send a ship to pick them up, along with the Seagull. Back in space, Princess General Azalea will then be seen to be having her Frontier hold onto Rusty's critically damaged Frontier, to which inside Rusty will be briefly seen, bleeding from his head. With this, a new age is upon everyone in the Confederation.
An age of Tyranny.
