  7.  
  8. With the area now secure for the time being, the remnants of the Axis Alliance have started moving their members and equipment into the site. However, their relatively few resources are made apparent by the relatively few actual civilian transport vessels coming in and the vast majority of the heavy cargo being manually carried by the Drone-Hybrids. It's clear that, despite going strong with their operations, the actual Axis Alliance is down on its last legs when it comes to manpower and resource allocation.
  9.  
  10. While the Post-Human terrorists and the few remaining Storm Covenant members begin to disembark from the transports, the Destroyer's giant Aggregate form remains in its usual spot in front of Irys's petrified body; it still has Daiyu Chen and Mary Stoker on its shoulder.
  11.  
  12.  
  13. (Mary Stoker): Ready to give it a go?
  14.  
  15. (Daiyu Chen): I am. It's time to return to where I should've been this whole time.
  16.  
  17.  
  18. The leader of the defunct Children of Monsters starts climbing down from the Destroyer's shoulder and onto one of the 2 long appendages sprouting out from its back. As she does, the Storm Covenant members who weren't used to create the mutated Drone-Hybrids start gathering around the Destroyer's feet, much to the chagrin of the members of the Order of Homo Novus who have been trying to set up a new base of operations.
  19.  
  20. Among these frustrated individuals is Vandal Savage, which is understandable seeing as how he's devoted all of his efforts to maintaining this movement.
  21.  
  22.  
  23. (Vandal Savage): Hey! Get on with it up there! We need to get back to work!
  24.  
  25. (Mary Stoker): Just trust me, Dr. Savage!
  26.  
  27.  
  28. With Daiyu Chen now situated firmly at the very tip of the Destroyer's appendage, the crustacean abomination moves its limb up to the centre of Irys's chest. The cultist leader presses herself against where she was once held within the Atlantean demon's body and hums softly.
  29.  
  30. At first, nothing happens. Despite this lack of any immediate reaction, the Storm Covenant zealots, all mutated, begin to hum in unison with their old leader. Eventually, the Destroyer perks up; its attention has been piqued by something undetectable to the senses of the humanoids present. The Drone-Hybrids also react to the unseen event and start to chitter loudly; they all simultaneously drop their tasks. Even Obsidian Fury, who tends to remain relatively Human in his mannerisms, begins to hum loudly with mechanical groans.
  31.  
  32. All of a sudden, the stone covering the primary chest sac of Irys's body shatters into tiny fragments that do no harm to Daiyu Chen's body. Despite being encased in an interdimensionally-formed rock for quite a long time, the fleshy glowing sac is still pulsating and flush with energy as though nothing happened at all.
  33.  
  34. The sac begins to open up, and Daiyu Chen excitedly flings herself within. Once she's firmly inside, the sac closes around her and seals itself up.
  35.  
  36. As soon as this process finishes up, the rest of Irys's petrified body begins to shake and quiver. The Destroyer calls out to the other titans in the area as it begins to back up from Irys; the Drone-Hyrbids and Obsidian Fury back away as well. The rest of the Axis Alliance remnants take the hint and evacuate from the immediate vicinity of Irys to find cover from whatever it is that's about to occur; the event transpires almost immediately after.
  37.  
  38. The entirety of the stone covering the Atlantean demise's body explodes outward violently, sending rocky shrapnel flying everywhere as a powerful Ki shockwave emanates outward.
  39.  
  40. Bright golden light temporarily blinds everyone before it dies down somewhat, leaving a clear picture: the freed and healthy body of Irys.

  54. The live feed of the Vulture continues to broadcast the footage of Irys freeing itself while surrounded by its Axis Alliance followers and new pack of loyal titan followers. Every single member of the G.U.D.'s list of personnel and associated VIPs is present in the Antarctic headquarters' main meeting hall, whether physically or by holographic communications. For a moment, there's nothing but silence.
  55.  
  56. The crowd continues to watch as the Storm Covenant and every other giant besides the Destroyer Aggregate bow down to the Atlantean monster. All of a sudden, Irys looks directly into the camera and quickly fires off a sonic beam from one of its tentacles, cutting the live feed and presumably destroying the Vulture surveillance drone.
  57.  
  58.  
  59. (Gnl. Rasczak): Well, that's it. I think we've all seen more than enough now. Any opening comments before we begin forming a battle strategy?
  60.  
  61.  
  62. For a good minute or 2, the room if silent. Eventually, one of the Exif representatives physically present in the meeting hall stands up.
  63.  
  64.  
  65. (Metphies): I believe it is time to bring all of our cards together. We must bring the titans together.
