The live stream audience, along with the military teams stuck outside the island, were left in shock.
Everything had escalated too quickly.
In a control room far from the action, Vice Admiral Myer took swift command of the situation. With a wave of his hand, he barked, "Prepare for immediate landing! We'll split into two teams!"
Then he turned toward Ansel, waiting for confirmation.
Ansel nodded, his expression steely. "I'll handle the enemy leader."
"I'll lead the team to rescue the students!" Myer replied without hesitation.
Meanwhile, back on the island, Lyra wasted no time. She hoisted Aurelius up and shoved him into the mecha, quickly activating the map and heading full speed toward the control room.
Without breaking stride, she threw a bit of healing energy his way.
