Chapter 3: Awakening of Villkiss and the Angel's Descent
DRAGONs starts to appear in the battle. The rest of the Squadron are now heading to the battlefield.
Miranda screams at her best friend's death.
Miranda: Coco! Coco!
Coco's dead body is now falling into the ocean, including it's Para-mail. As the wrecked Para-Mail dives to the water upon contact, it explodes.
The explosion and the DRAGON can be seen from Celestial Being's location.
Lockon: We got contact! Engaging!
Mileina: Laetitia, Lockon & Allelujah has made contact with the other group of Squadron 1.
Feldt: We have two other members of 1st Squadron; 2 kilometers away from them.
Sumeragi: Setsuna, take care of the other DRAGONs nearby the two contacts.
Setsuna: Roger.
Their presence didn't go unnoticed when Arzenal has made contact with them.
Operator: We're picking up an unknown energy sources among the group of 1st Squadron.
Jill has her eye brow quirked a little bit in doubt.
Jill: Pamela, can you fetch us the live image?
Pamela began to type on her console to access live camera.
Pamela: Here.
The camera can now see the Gundams on the way to protect the Squadron.
Emma: What are those things? Are those some kind of new Para-mail?
Jill: I doubt it. But those look familiar.
Back in the battlefield, Setsuna saw the Dragon and began to swing his GN Sword V.
Setsuna: 00 Qan[T] Force, ready to eliminate targets!
The Gundam's eye glowed and dashed to the battlefield.

Hilda and the others have found the DRAGONs and on their way to battle.
Zola: Enemy signals captured. A Galleon and 22 Schooners.
Rosalie: 22?!
Hilda: Dammit, they just keep on coming.
Just then, they saw multiple pink beams firing at the DRAGONs.
Hilda: *gasp* What are those beams?
Rosalie: Hang on, what are those things?!
In the distance she saw Harute X, Zabanya S, and DynamesRE3. Killing the DRAGONs. Their doubts begun to bloom. It interrupted suddenly when their coms began to beep.
Jill: Captain Zola, be advised. You got 4 Unknowns joined the battle. They're helping you out so assist them in killing the DRAGONs
Zola: Yes, ma'am. *ends the call*
The Galleon-class began to attack but the two others dodged it. Zola then opens up a channel for the Squadron. But it also gave access to Celestial Being's mic.
Zola: Zola here. Everyone, listen up. Beginner training is on hold. Help the current unknowns attacking the small fries, and re-establish air superiority. All units, attack formation. Assume aerial tactical formation.
Squadron 1: Yes, ma'am.
They turned their Para-Mail's into assault mode. Salia asks Zola about Ange's abandon battle while pointing the pistol to her.
Salia: Shall I take care of the deserter?
Zola: Don't someone will take care of her already later on.
Salia: Yes, ma'am.
Salia puts the pistol back to its holster and rendezvous with Zola. But then Miranda asked Zola.
Miranda: C-Captain, what about us?
Zola: Stay alive until we take care of this. All units, open fire at the DRAGONs.
They began to open fire and Celestial Being heard it and Sumeragi nodded.

Sumeragi: Attention Gundam Meister's Setsuna, Lockon, Allelujah and Laetitia. Provide support for the Squadron.
Allelujah: Roger.
Lockon: Already on it.
They get into position to provide assist.
Sumeragi: Setsuna, keep an eye on the other two. Provide cover for them.
Setsuna: Roger.
Laetitia begun to join the fray as he aims the GN Bazooka at the incoming DRAGONs.
Laetitia: Dynames, ready to destroy targets.
https://youtu.be/97jUOBuYojU
Author note: Animation for the GN Bazooka attack.
Laetitia: Never take the Dynames' firepower lightly.
He open fires as Zola saw it's firepower able to burn 5-7 DRAGONs in one attack.
Zola: 'Who are these people, anyway?'
Zola focuses back on the battlefield. Rosalie is taking heavy fire.
Rosalie: GHK! How are they this fast?
When there's an incoming DRAGON behind her, she has no time to attack until the Harute X fires it's Laser Cannons in X-Wing formation. Inside Allelujah and Marie work together to fire the weapons. It changed form into MS form and fires two GN Pistols and a few GN missiles on incoming DRAGONs behind Rosalie.
It transformed back into X - Wing mode and goes to the next target. Rosalie looks in shock at it's fighting capability. But she shrugs it and focuses back to the battle.
Ange's Para-Mail goes to another direction.
Miranda: Ange? Where are you going?
Miranda follows behind not knowing 00 Qan[T] is close to them.
Ange: I'm going home to the Misurugi Empire.
Miranda: Are you serious? You only have enough fuel for one battle. I don't know where your country is, but there's no way you'll make it.
Ange gasps but ignores it.
Ange: I don't care! If that means I won't have to go back...
Meanwhile back in the battle, Vivian is using it's cannon to fire at incoming DRAGON but then she didn't notice 5 DRAGONs are getting closer to them.
Suddenly they saw the Zabanya passed by and aims his GN Rifle Bit II.
Lockon: No escape!
https://youtu.be/B-06ldTHLcM
Author note: Rifle Bit II animation is shown.
When they heard that voice they were surprised at this revelation. It was Lockon Stratos.
Vivian: No way... That voice...
All except Miranda and Ange: Lockon?!
Chris: Then these guys are...
Back at the two, Miranda is keeping an eye on Ange.
Miranda: What am I supposed to do?
Ange just boosted up and Miranda is left behind.
Miranda: W-Wait.
Miranda looks at the ocean as she thought about Coco and tears up.
Miranda: 'Coco. Coco, you idiot. Magic nation, my ass. What were you dreaming about? We're Norma. '
Sudenly 3 DRAGONs are inbound and Setsuna preps his Sword to rifle mode.
The DRAGON pounces to the engine of the Para-Mail making Miranda flung out of the Para-Mail and now she's falling. Ange looked behind to see the horror.
Miranda: H-Help!
Suddenly she landed hard onto a metal and she's holding on to her dear life. When she saw who saved her, it was the 00. It hovers now and opens it's cockpit.
She saw a human in a pilot suit. She's curious whether it's a Norma or not until it shouts to come back into her senses.
Setsuna: Get inside if you're done doubting about something!
Miranda nodded and jumps in.
Setsuna closes the cockpit and his alert ringed up. Behind is the 3 DRAGONs who are chasing Miranda and Ange.
Setsuna: Hold on to something.
Miranda didn't hesitate as she holds on to the head rest of the seat.
Setsuna: 00 Qan[T] Force, eliminating targets!
Setsuna activates his GN Sword V and slices one of the DRAGON diagonally, then horizontal to the next one and finally a stab to the final one. He kicked the stabbed one and let it fall into the ocean.
Miranda: 'Such skill... Who is he?'
Ange suddenly saw the 00 Qan[T] eliminate the targets and terrifies even more. When she looked in front of her she saw another DRAGON attempting to grab her.
Ange gasped in horror and screams in her life. Setsuna heard it and saw where she's going with the enemy chasing her.
Setsuna: That idiot...!
He punches the accelerator and boosts towards to the chaos.
The other Squadrons worked together with the Meisters to destroy the Schooner-class and finally gets to work with the Galleon-class. The Squadron fires their rifles but it's not woring as it has a forcefield protecting itself.
Ersha: I've never seen this ability before.
Hilda: At least those friends of Lockon is doing some damage with their weapons.
The Meisters firepower breaks through it's protective shield.
Lockon: So it has a GN Field of sorts but weak, huh?
Marie: But it can still tank the firepower we have, sometimes.
Zola: You're the last one, you oversized lizard. All units, load cryo-rounds.
The Para-Mails are now loaded with cryo-rounds in shape of a spike.
Laetitia: 'Interesting technology'
Allelujah: 'Why do I feel like there's someone her who can use quantum brainwaves like me and Hallelujah?'
Zola: All units, attack!
They thrusted forward to attack it.
Vivian: Let's go!
The Galleon's scales suddenly glows and spread it's wings and flaps them towards the Squadron and Meisters.
Laetitia: Evasive maneuvers!
Sumeragi: Activate, GN-Field!
Lasse: Roger!
Sumeragi: All hands, prepare for impact!
Vivian dodges them all and Meisters as well and the Ptolemy takes the hit, but it only dent the hull but strong enough to make an impact to shake the Ptolemy crews.
Back at Vivian she's about to launch the cryo-round.
Vivian: Time to die!
She fires her and it take effect but it only irritates the DRAGON even more. Hilda and Salia takes another shot proving it to be ineffective.
Zola is about to fire hers...
Zola: This is the end!
She then heard a scream.
Ange: No!
Lockon: suddenly saw the map and Setsuna is trying to catch up.
Lockon: Oh no...
Ange's Para-Mail helds to Zola's. Her face is full of horror and tears.
Ange: Help me!
Zola: What are you doing?! Let go!
And then the Galleon suddenly appears behind them. It raises it's wings, Hilda screams knowing what would happen.
Hilda: Zola!
They all gasped and the Galleon covered the view. Leaving black and darkness.
*end theme*
Timeskip
In an unknown location, two wrecked Para-Mails lied to the ground. Ange wakes up with blood on her face flowing down form the forehead.
Ange: Where am I?
She tries to move but her left shoulder somehow got injured making her gasp in pain.
Ange: What happened?
She then felt something dropped on her belly. It was an green-color eye with blood dripping down from where it falls.
When she looked up, she saw a dead body of Zola, with a face of unbelief. She clutches her head with her eyes tears flowing down. She can't believe it. The blood and gore of Zola's corpse right in front of her.
Ange: HYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, the Ptolemy and a transport vehicle from the Arzenal arrived as the sun rises.
Timeskip
Arzenal
Jill: 4 Para-Mails destroyed. 2 Mail-Riders dead. The body of the rookie could not be retrieved.
All of the remaining Squadron 1 gathered at Medbay including Emma, Jill, Maggie and the Gundam Meisters. Lying on the beds are Ange who has restrains holding her down while having an IV bag injected to her and Bandages around her body parts; while on the other is a body bag of Zola with Rosalie and Chris looking in horror.
Laetitia: And we failed to eliminate the DRAGONs.
Jill: These are the consequences of your desertion. How do you feel, Princess?
She doesn't say anything. Setsuna who's still wearing the pilot suit and his helmet is in incognito mode, is now had an aura of no sympathy to her. Rosalie and Chris are angry at Ange.
Rosalie: Say something, dammit!
Maggie: Don't hurt her. She's already wounded, after all.
Ange: I only tried to go back home. I did nothing wrong.
Rosalie: It's your fault that Zola- You killed her!
Chris: Murderer! Murderer!
Ange: Murderer?
Ange looks away still believing in the lie she can't see at the empire.
Ange: Norma aren't human.
All of them are shocked that she still believed at the lie. Hilda is about to do something to her when Lockon touches her shoulder.
Lockon: Wait, Hilda.
Hilda: What is it?!
Lockon: Let our leader do it this time.
Rosalie: Leader?!
Then suddenly they got passed by the blue pilot.
Chris: Who are you?! Are you a murderer as well?!
But then everything felt heavy all of a sudden when they see Setsuna standing in front of Ange. But the Meisters are used to it and felt his burden already when they meet him for the first time.
Setsuna: Ms. Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi.
Ange didn't pay attention, then Setsuna releases a venomous voice.
Setsuna: Look at me. Now!
Ange who's face is neutral looks at him. Setsuna then slowly began to remove his helmet.
Setsuna: Do you remember this face?
When he finally removed it, she's in pure shock. It's the same boy who sympathize the Norma baby and its parent.
Ange: It's you...!
Jill: You know him?
Setsuna: Yes. Me. Now do you see it? The reality of the world we live in?
Ange didn't answer his question and repeats the same thing she always believed in.
Setsuna: If you won't answer and wake up to reality... Then I'll let him do it.
Just then, Laetitia walks beside Setsuna and showed his face when he removed the helmet.
Author note: He's pissed at this point. But here's the look of his face.
Ange: What is this? Another Norma propaganda like the Arzenal?
This made everyone mad and triggered. But they didn't show it and let Laetitia and Setsuna do the job. He then backslaps her face and punches her injured shoulder making her gasp in pain.
Laetitia: How could you? How could you do something so foolish?
Ange: I just wanted to go back home. I didn't care about anyone.
Laetita then have another punches but this time straight on the chest and the broken rib. Making her gasp again in pain.
Laetitia: You're the one who took their lives, you know! Through your own foolish actions!
Hilda who's still pissed and looks at Ange.
Hilda: You're seriously f***ed up.
Salia: You're the worst.
Laetitia: "Oh I'm different, nothing to do with me." It all happened in a different world; ignoring reality like that is just a kind of in-adverted malice! And then things like this happened.
They're all confused on what he mean, but the Arzenal crew began to feel like that the Meisters have experienced it as well. Ersha cuts off the heavy aura when she asked Jill.
Ersha: What's going to happen to us, now?
Jill: Salia, I hereby appoint you captain of the 1st Squadron. Hilda, you're lieutenant. You will meet up with the unknown pilot's allies at their ship. Understood?
Salia and Hilda hesitated but they know the lost firepower in the previous battle meaning this is the only way to fight back.
Salia, Hilda: Yes.
Jill: We'll move out again as soon as we find the DRAGON. Prepare yourselves.
All Squadron 1 & Miranda: Yes, ma'am.
They all left to meet up with Celestial Being.
Lockon: Well... time for us to go.
Allelujah: Yeah. Hey, Laetitia, let's go. We'll let Setsuna catch up with us.
Laetitia looked at Ange for the last time with an angry look on his face.
Laetitia: Yeah. *puts his helmet back on*
The Meisters the left, leaving Setsuna, Jill, Maggie & Emma in the room with Ange.
The Squadron 1 left with grief and pain on their faces. Vivian talked to Salia.
Vivian: Salia, the answer to the quiz. The last one alive? It was Ange & Miranda!
Salia: Quiet.
Vivian: Fine. But by the way. What about those men? What do you think they call those machines, huh?
This time she didn't shut Vivian as she too and the others was curious and have full of questions in mind. Who are they? Why did they helped them? Why does the blue pilot know Ange? Why is Lockon siding with them?
Suddenly their minds is interrupt when Lockon catched up to them.
Lockon: Hey, wait up. Sorry if I didn't talk to you all about what happened. But all of your questions will be answered at the Ptolemy.
Marie: Don't worry, there's girls in Ptolemy. If you want to see them, follow us. We'll explain there what's the next plan for the survived DRAGON you encountered.
They all followed up to them but Rosalie asked Laetitia while walking to Ptolemy.
Rosalie: Excuse... Mr. Purple. Sorry if I don't know your name.
Laetitia: You can call me Laetitia, it's fine.
Rosalie: We're sorry about what we think of you back there.
Chris: I'm sorry, too.
Allelujah: It's fine. We're used to it. Including Setsuna, but he's already a veteran.
Vivian: What do you mean?
Allelujah; Let's just say that... He has been through worse than just kill to live, while us... We don't wanna talk about it for now.
They just kept quiet knowing that they're older than them and has additional experience in combat and burdens.
Inside the Medbay, Setsuna, Jill & Emma are now talking to each other about how did he know about Ange.
Jill: So that's how you know her.
Setsuna: I'm sorry if I didn't tell anyone about it. I'd rather keep it closed.
Jill: We understand. Still though, a survivor of the Krugis destruction... I thought everyone listed their is gone, including your previous name.
Setsuna: I'm not that kid, anymore. I'm not the kid who blindly follows someone who call themselves, "God". I only follow one thing, the Celestial Being, together with my Gundam.
Emma and Jill could see a flicker of gold eyes on his face but it quickly disappears in a split-second. They just ignored it and gets back to the topic,
Emma: Anyways, let's just get back on why are we all here.
Jill then talks to Ange who's still sleeping.
Jill: How long do you intend to sleep?
Ange: Momoka!
Ange woke up form a long dream about her maid. She tries to break free of restraints but she can't.
Jill: Did you have a nice dream?
She looks to see Jill and Setsuna looking at her. She's still terrified of Setsuna. But then Ange remembers something.
Ange: The petition. Have the nations responded to my petition?
Jill: I don't hold it anymore.
Ange: Then where is it?
Setsuna: You mean, this?
He holds out the petition Ange had. Ange is mad at him for taking the petition.
Ange: What did you do? Why is it in your hands?
Setsuna: The so-called nations have called out and I read through them. Even though it's torn up.
Ange: Torn?
Setsuna then drops them all onto her body and left the Medbay.
Jill: They all refused to receive it. They don't know of a Princess Angelise or an Empire of Misurugi. *blows a vape*
Ange: What?
Jill: Officer Emma Bronson says there is no Empire of Misurugi anymore. *lits up the lighter*
Ange is shocked and gasped at that.
Jill: That's been the case since you were revealed as a Norma. The citizens must have gotten pissed and revolted or something.
Ange: That can't be possible. My nation, Misurugi, couldn't be gone... What about my mother? Father and Brother? And Sylvia?
Suddenly Jasmine's dog barks meaning it's time as Jill blows her cigar and tells her the truth.
Jill: They're finished. *loosens the restraints* Let's go.
Arzenal: Top of the Island
When they get to the rooftop, they saw where the Ptolemy, they're surprised at the size of the Ship. It was landing slowly above them, the optical camouflage is disengaged.
After it landed, they hear a hissing sound and the hatch door was opened to see Lasse greeting the Meisters.
Lasse: So, how did it go?
Allelujah: Well, just look at their faces.
Lasse saw the faces of the remaining members Squadron 1, horror, fear, terrified and sadness mixed together. Lasse frowned at this, remembering the 2 previous members of Celestial Being who died in a perilous battle, perpetrated by one of their traitors named Alejandro.
Lasse: Oh, about the casualties huh? Sorry about them. We couldn't manage to find their bodies too.
He switched the topic and get to the point.
Lasse: But anyways, follow us, the Commander wanted to see you at the bridge.
Lasse comes back inside followed by the Meisters and then the Squadron.
When they get inside, they meet the other members of the Celestial Being who's waiting for Lasse.
Sumeragi: Lasse, did you bring them?
Lasse: Yep, sure we did.
Lasse and the rest are now inside the bridge deck. They meet up with them and Sumeragi introduces herself.
Sumeragi: Sorry if it's urgent but let me introduce myself. I am Sumeragi Lee Noriega, tactical forecaster and the commander of the Celestial Being. But further introductions about us will be later. Let's focus on the task at hand.
While they're listening to what's the plan and intel about the DRAGON responsible for their comrades death.
Jasmine, Jill and Ange are prepping the tombstones for their fallen comrades. Jasmine is stressed after prepping tombstones in a rush for one day.
Jasmine: I never thought you'd need two in one day.
Jill: Sorry for the rush, Jasmine.
Jasmine: It's fine. We have to hold a ceremony for them soon.
Jill: You're carrying them, Ange. The survivors buy the graves of their fallen comrades and bury them.
Ange who's still in disarray just had a face of question, even though she's the one responsible for all the mess.
Jasmine: It's so that you hold onto their life and never forget them. Don't worry, you can pay in installments.
Then while they're walking towards the graveyard, Jasmine remembers their names.
Jasmine: Zola Axberg, Coco Reeve. They all have nice names. Arzenal girls get their old names back when they die. Their real names, given to them by their parents.
When they reached the graveyard, they stand there in sadness, grief, pain, and despair after their tombstones have been nailed down to the wet ground.
Jasmine: Zola. Her only fault was her impulsiveness. She was hardworking and cared for her subordinates. Above all else, she valued her comrades like Lockon. Now that she's gone there's no one to cheer them up anymore.
Ange: What's... What's going to happen now? What am I supposed to do?
Jill and Jasmine looked at her.
Jill: Fight and kill DRAGONs with our visitors. That's all.
Ange: What are those DRAGONs? Why do I have to fight them?
Jill: Weren't you listening in class? The only reason why we Norma are allowed to live is so that we can kill the DRAGONs.
Jasmine: By the way, isn't that what you'd want as a princess? You're fighting to protect the world.
Ange: The world?
Jasmine: The world of Mana is only able to live in peace because of the Norma fighting the DRAGONs.
Ange: What?
Jill: While you r world lived in peaceful stupor, the Normas were dying, unbeknownst to anyone, to protect you all.
Ange shake her head as she didn't know about it at all.
Ange: I never knew anything about that.
Jill: Now it's your turn. You even saw that young boy you feared face those DRAGONs with no hesitations.
Ange: There's no way I can. I don't give a care about that man. I'm not even Norma.
Then Jill gets something in her pocket, and leveled it at Ange's.
Jill: This is the officer's pen. Use it.
She tried to use her Mana but nothing's happening. Ange just in tears again that she's denying the reality.
Ange: Why? I just... I just can't use Mana right now... I have to suffer through this hell just because of that? Unbelievable!
Jill: It was your kind that decided this. You're here because of the rules your kind made.
Ange remembered what she said to a mother with a Norma daughter; who's now dead because of their kind. She didn't even know it and yet she just looked down to the muddy ground in shame.
Jasmine: Of course it's unbelievable.
Jasmine began to pet her dog under her umbrella.
Jasmine: Which reminds me. Goddammit, Coco had just turned 12 yrs. old, too.
Ange: 12... the same age as Sylvia.
She just looked at the grave but shakes her head.
Ange: No. She's not the same as Sylvia. Because-
Jill: Norma aren't human... huh?
Jill enraged, kicked her face and grabs her collar.
Jill: Then what are you?! You're not a princess. You have no Mana. You have abandoned your duty. You're a deserter. You killed a little girl. What the hell are you then?!
Ange: I...
Jill lets her go to break her from the illusion she's seeing.
Ange: I am...
Emma who's in the observatory, hear their phone ring and grabs it.
Emma: Hello, who's this?
Emma suddenly gasped about the intel she received from the caller.
Suddenly, Salia in trench coat runs to Jill and informed her.
Salia: Commander, we've located the DRAGON, it's now on our spot.
Jill nodded and talks to Ange.
Jill: Get up, Ange. We're moving out. Snap out of it. This world is unfair and unjust like the pilot said. It's kill or be killed. That's all their is. Kill the DRAGONs for your fallen comrades. If you can't do that much, then die!
Ange: Then, please kill me. *facepalms* I can't take it.
Jill: No. Die in battle, just like they did. That's your duty.
Salia: Commander, we don't have any spare ParaMail.
Jill: Yes, we do. That one.
Jasmine smirks and Salia gasps knows what it means.
Salia: You don't mean...
Later
The group is now prepping to launch.
Operator: Course clear. Captain Salia, you may lift off.
Salia: Captain Salia, lifting off.
Salia launches her Para-Mail, followed up by the others of 1st Squadron.
The Celestial Being is now prepping the Gundam's launch.
Sumeragi: Prepare to launch the Gundams!
Feldt: Yes, Ms. Sumeragi.
Mileina: Increasing catapult voltage 200-500. Transferring launch time to Setsuna F. Seiei and Laetitia Erde.
Setsuna: Roger. 00 Qan[T] Force, Setsuna F. Seiei. Launching!
Laetitia: DynamesIII, Laetitia Erde. Launching.
They pushed their controllers to launch out of the catapult and begin the battle.
Rosalie: Why is she coming with us? We're fighting alongside Zola's murderer?
Chris: I'll kill her! I'll kill her! I swear I'll kill her!
Hilda: I heard she wants to die. Why don't we watch to see how the Wrecked Princess dies?
Setsuna: Focus on the task at hand, you three.
His tone is enough to shut them up. Meanwhile, he saw Ange's ride looking a bit different and clumsy, but he feels something strange.
Setsuna: Why do I feel that this Para-Mail is familiar.
Vivian: What's with that ride? Yo, Salia, that Para-Mail's a kick-ass model! Isn't it, Salia?
Laetitia: Kid, look alive and look ahead. Don't get distracted by other things.
Suddenly Sumeragi contacts everyone.
Sumeragi: Enemy detected, prepare to attack!
Then Salia puts up a scanner and saw that it's coming in fast.
Salia: Here it comes!
Suddenly the DRAGON emerged from the ocean.
Hilda: What shall we do now, Captain?
Salia: It's almost dead. Finish it off. All units, attack formation. Load cryo-rounds.
All except Meisters: Yes, ma;'am.
They turned it into assault mode and loaded the cryo-rounds.
Salia: Phalanx formation. Attack.
Setsuna: Laetitia, let's provide cover fire.
Laetitia: Got it.
The Para-mail pilots began to attack it however the DRAGON began to use a rune attack.
Then water spouts out of the ocean and creating shards
Vivian: Salia, below!
Salia: Below?
The shards began to damage their Para-Mail.
Setsuna: 'It's the same as before... It reacts almost as if this creature is intelligent....'
They dodged from the incoming shards as well.
Inside the Ptolemaios and the observation room they can hear the grunts and struggles of the pilots who's suits is taking damage.
Meanwhile, Rosalie and Chris' Para-Mail separate from the battle.
Hilda: Rosalie! Chris!
Hilda shoots the shards and Vivian is the same and slicing them up.
Vivian: It set a trap, that sly bastard!
Laetitia:; No it didn't. It's an attack armament of it, judging from what it just did.
Salia is shaking and has a horror plastered on her face
Salia: There's no data about it attacking like this...
Ersha is blasting them up but its too fast, slicing her cannons and a leg, making her scream from the damage and shaking from her Para-Mail.
Ersha: What do we do, Salia? We're in danger.
Salia: What? What can we do? 'How do those guys keep up with the attacks.'
They keep firing at the shards while the Meisters are using the hit and run tactic.
Salia: C-Captain Zola...
Ersha: You're the captain now, Salia.
Then the DRAGON is going in for the kill.
Laetitia: Hey, Salia, evasive maneuvers, now!
They evaded it but Salia is caught on it's wings.
Vivian, Ersha: Salia!
Salia opens the hatch and fires her assault rifle but it does nothing, only aggro it to her.
But suddenly it turned towards Ange's Para-Mail.
Ange: Almost... there... I can almost... say goodbye.
Salia: Ange!
The dragon uses it's tail to attack it but suddenly Ange out of instinct dodged it.
Ange: No... One more time.
She tries to do it again but it resulted the same. The wound on her head is suddenly opening up making her bleed. The others is seeing this.
Hilda: What the hell is she doing?
Ange: No... I have to die properly.
Suddenly, she got called by someone.
Laetitia: I see. Your instincts is choosing life.
Setsuna: It's only natural! Those who are alive don't easily throw their own lives away!
Suddenly, she feels a strange phenomenon.
Ange: I sense life.
She then remembers her mother and father's last words.
Father: Live on, Angelise...
Mother: One day, you will be guided by an angel who has guided me once... to the right path...
Ange suddenly snaps back to reality.
Ange: 'My parent's dying words... Live on, Angelise. An angel will guide me to the right path'
She suddenly sees the DRAGON going for the kill.
Ange: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!
The blood flowed down her face and it dropped to her hands. One of the droplets dropped to the ring and it glowed green.
Suddenly her Para-Mail suddenly glowed blue and dispersing green particles.
Then the DRAGON let go of Ange's Para-Mail, including Salia's.
*play the song*
https://youtu.be/y57FTwgmuOA
Ange saw she's surrounded by multiple colors and green particles emit from her mech. She ignored it and quickly changed it to assault mode.
The mech began to transform and revealed the true form of the Para-Mail. I t emitted blue and green particles from it's wings and back.
The Celestial Being saw her mobile suit's transformation and shocked as it emits GN particles combining with it's engines.
Inside the mech, she's now breathing as she saw the DRAGON angry and about to kill Ange.
Ange: I don't want to die... I DON'T wanna die...
She then dodged the attack and fires her rifle. Setsuna saw this and contacts Laetitia.
Setsuna: Laetitia, let's go.
Laetitia: Yeah.
They began to help her out by providing cover fire. She transformed it back to flight mode and shouts.
Ange: I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!!!!
The DRAGON sens out his scale shards to attack anyone who's in range. The Meisters dodged it including Ange. She transformed it quickly to assault mode and slashes the shards with her own sword.
Ange: Y-You...!
The DRAGON began to approach and attack her but it was futile. She stabbed it's head and the neck , leaking out blood. But it leaked even more as the attacks of the DRAGON hits itself when the mobile suit gets out of the way.
Ange: YOU CAN DIE!!!!!!!!
She attacks the DRAGON with a loaded cryo-round as her mech glowed red a little bit.
She stabbed the DRAGON and quickly retreats as the DRAGON is now roaring it's demise. The ice bored out from it's internal body and falls to the ocean. But her attack overkilled it as the ice spreads to the water a little bit where the creature falls.
*end song*
Everyone is surprised at what happened including the ones from the Celestial Being.
Sumeragi: 'So this is the trump card of the Arzenal... Vilkiss'
Inside the suit, Ange is breathing hard and begun to laugh a little bit but not in satisfaction, but in sadness.
Ange: What is this feeling?
She remembers her sexual harrasment with Zola back then.
Zola: You're excited!
Snaps back to reality.
Ange: No, this isn't me! *tears up* I don't want to kill to live. That's so dirty, so shameful, so selfish...
Then remembers Laetitia's words to her.
Laetitia: "Oh I'm different, nothing to do with me." It all happened in a different world; ignoring reality like that is just a kind of in-adverted malice!
She then began to breakdown in tears. As inside the Arzenal, Jill left and smiles. Meanwhile for the Meisters, they just looked down as they too, had a breakdown moments. One of them is Louise and Saji who can hear her cries.
Saji: 'Poor Ange...'
Louise: 'I'm so sorry, Ange'
Miranda: Ange...
Later
Ange's now standing on the graves of their fallen comrades as the sun sets down.
Ange: Goodbye, Father, Mother, Brother, Sylvia.
She pulled out her knife and sliced her hair, making it short and looked fully matured.
Ange: 'There's nothing left for me. No past, no name, nothing. I won't die as easily as you all did. To survive, I'll claw the ground, drink muddy water, and vomit blood. I will live on. Kill, and live.'
As she lets her cutted hair flow with the wind. The mechs and Mobile suits are now being taken care of by the two organizations. She walked away now going back to her room.
Ange: 'Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi is no more. There's only one name that will exist... The Meister of Vilkiss, Ange.'
Night
She's now changing her clothes then she saw the pudding and the spoon in the bin.
She takes it out of the bin and opens it, but when she tasted it she forced herself to swallow it even though she's tearing up.
Ange: So gross...
Then she saw a note underneath it.
"That's already expired, try the other one on the table. ;)"
Then she saw something on the table. It's a pudding colored brown not opened with spoon on top.
*plays the song*

She then opened it and ate it. She smiled but quickly forced to swallow it.
Ange: It's almost the same...
But she saw what it is:
Coffee pudding
Ange: At least, it's worth a try and good enough.
TBC

Ange: This is so much better!
A/n: At what?
Ange: I've been meaning to cut my hair! Washing it will be so much easier. And sleeping!
A/n: *deadpan* Uh, lady, where's the logic of washing of it and sleeping with it?
Ange: I look better with short hair too, didn't I? I'll become even more popular now!
A/n: Well, I mean... It depends.
Ange: *mutters* Still, I might have an addiction sooner or later about coffee puddings...
A/n: Uhm, what?
Ange: Nothing! *runs off*
