Hovering in the skies above the battlefield, Igaris stood calmly, crimson cape fluttering, and the Federation's banners rippling behind him. A sea of Mechas extended across the plains like a mechanical tide, while overhead, battleships hummed with weapons locked and primed.
The pressure of his aura pressed down on the world like a falling star.
From the opposite side, atop a towering Summoner Beast, Nina stared up with wide, uncertain eyes.
"Ma-Master... that's really him? Igaris?" she asked, her voice shaking. "But... why is he standing with the Federation? They've been slaughtering Summoners for years..."
Master Leon's jaw tightened.
"I don't know. We all believed he died during the invasion..." Leon's gaze stayed locked on the man in the sky. "But now he has reappeared... not just alive, but as the Supreme General of the Federation."
