Miss Ayla? Miss Ayla... are you there?
She appears to be online in the channel, but there's some weird noise... Could it be...
Selena—!
Communication has been cut—
She was probably attacked...
Liv, could you give us her coordinates?
Commandant, there's a record on the radar...
Miss Ayla's signal came from a disconnected compartment.
She was... fighting... against a Corrupted signal... No...
It's an Ascendant...
Right... Ascendant!
No wonder we didn't see them. They must be after something else.
It's coming!
Boom—
As the airtight valve of a compartment is blast open, a black, giant silhouette jumps out of the opening—
Falling rapidly toward the ring where Gray Raven is located...
Yes, Commandant!
Boom—
A dark shadow lands, creating a huge impact...
It is a mechanoid in a heavy coat, wearing a bowler hat.
Zoom—
What...
No way!
Liv and Lee's probing shots are all deflected by the heavy coat made with special material.
...
However, the target takes no action. Instead, it just stands there, calmly staring at Lucia.
Lucia.
Yes.
Just when Watanabe and Lucia are about to attack—
Selena!
Ayla descends from above, her giant scythe slashing down—
Clang!
!
Gabriel lifts his arm and blocks the heavy strike with ease.
After his coat is lift up, it turns out that his other hand—
Was holding the incomplete carcass of a Construct...
…………
Give Selena! Back!
Ayla draws her scythe back and quickly adjusts her form. She then stomps on the ground and charges straight toward Gabriel...
This girl...
Gabriel moves his giant body, barely evading Ayla's attacks. However, he does not seem to be willing to engage...
He looks at Lucia one last time... And jumps onto a floating platform nearby.
Stop!
Without any hesitation, Ayla pulls her scythe back as she is about to take off...
Miss Ayla...
Don't let us disrupt your plan.
Your mission is of higher priority... But I will never let him get away...
Um, Miss Ayla...
Hm?
Good luck...
...
Thank you.
Ayla smiles at Liv, then takes a couple of steps before launching herself into the air—
She then continues going after Gabriel's direction...
