Safe and Found

Everyone who was fighting to defend Corrinth saw the airship explode in mid-air. They lifted their arms and cheered with their hands in the air. The Metadross threat was finally over, as many of their mechanical foes lay lifeless throughout the battlefield.

Mya and Paco rushed back to the evacuation area. When they arrived they saw Anaya and Atana telling the people of the slums that everything was going to be okay. Mya approached the two with gratitude for keeping the people safe. In addition, she asked them where Samiya was.

As Mya was asking, Viraaj jumped out of nowhere and yelled, “Where is the queen?! How could you lose sight of her! We got to order a search party, scour every corner of the city!” He continued on.

“Everyone, it's okay! I’m right over here!” Samiya was covered by the crowd as couldn't be easily seen when she wasn’t riding her horse. With her were the two children she was protecting, Summer and Anahat. Once they saw their families, she allowed them to run back where they belong and Samiya went to join her friends.

Meanwhile, Jovin had his companion Rocky sniffing around to see if there were any survivors within all the debris. Rocky’s senses led him to the remains of the elite unit that he, Shaan and Viraaj encountered. Rocky began barking which drew the attention of Jovin and Shaan. Together they pried open the hatch to save the pilot who was inside.

Once they broke open the hatch, the person fell into the arms of Shaan. He turned the body around to have a look at the person’s face and what he saw was something he wasn’t prepared for. “Is it someone you know?” asked Jovin. Shaan nodded, “Yes, it's my older brother who I have been searching for this whole time.”

Priya, Addyson, Sonia lead the amazons to help the injured soldiers get the proper care they need. They treated their wounds by using some of their special herbs when necessary. Their efforts sped up the recovery efforts tremendously.

Thanks to the amazon’s assistance, it allowed Roop time to scour the remains of the Metadross. He went to the elite units he fought against to see who the pilots were. He cracked the hatch carefully on both units making sure not to injure the people inside. From the first unit he found his eldest sister, Anup, and in the second was his second elder sister, Rubin. They were both unconscious but he was glad they were both safe and found.

The people from Colony Five helped clear out the roads from Metadross debris. Roman and Ajay were goofing around but they were kept in check by Kaviya and Anusha who kept them focused.

Not far from them was Niall standing still near the Metadross mobile suit that had his sister within it. He struck the hatch with his weapon and opened it up, so he could pull his sister out. As she was placed on the ground, her eyes slowly opened.

“Niall? Where am I? And why were you carrying me!?” She said in a panic. “Well Isabelle, if you really want to know, I just saved you from being a mindless robot slave. YOU’RE WELCOME!” Niall bragged. “No no no! You didn’t save me, I refused to believe it!” and they continued to argue while everyone else helped one another.
