- A strange white medical room filled with equipment both familiar and new. This is clearly one of the medical care areas of the G.U.D.'s antarctic base of operations, but it has clearly changed since Daiyu Chen last saw it as a Children of Monsters mole turned legitimate politician turned war criminal. As the elderly ex-Denouncer of the Chinese super-nation sits up and looks around her surroundings, she takes notice of rumbling and quakes being sent through the upper levels and surface down into the sublevels.
- (Daiyu Chen): What happened? What's happening?
- As Daiyu Chen looks around, she sees some C.D.F. soldiers pass by the window of the room's door. She seems puzzled to see them, not recognizing their uniforms as the G.U.D. defense forces' BDUs she remembers; she still finds a hint of familiarity in their construction with the powered armour that her cult's forces once used against the world. She notices a datapad on the table next to her bed and takes it to look through its contents.
- After swiping through some of the few accessible files and accessing the global network for recent events, she stops upon seeing an article on the Storm Covenant's involvement in an event from 2166 where they collaborated with the Order of Homo Novus and the Mimetics lead by the Gorgon's Head. She reads through intensely, becoming quite intrigued by how it all went down.
- (Daiyu Chen): 2168, huh? My dear sweet Irys did quite a number on the world. They thought you were gone, but my awakening makes it clear that you're here again, and you're seeking me out. I must meet you halfway.
- The leader of the now defunct Children of Monsters gets up out of her bed and stumbles out, though she falls down onto her hands and knees due to being in a comatose state for many years; she has to catch her breath and use the table next to her as support until her body readjusts to movement again. Just as she begins to get back up to her feet properly, a C.D.F. soldier passes by and notices Daiyu Chen in the medical room. He opens the door and extends his hand.
- (C.D.F. Sgt.): Come with me, ma'am! We need to get you to safety! Bloody Mary has been sighted in these lower levels and--
- All of a sudden, his neck is snapped by a pair of beastly claws composed of darkness that emerge from the shadow of the open door. Soon after, the full Human form of the leader of the major cell of Post-Human terrorists, Bloody Mary herself, steps out from the shadow and walks up to Daiyu Chen.
- Despite seeing a man killed in front of her with superhuman abilities, the former Denouncer isn't phased in the slightest.
- (Mary Stoker): Scared, madam?
- (Daiyu Chen): Not at all. I may be several years out of the loop, but I know an ally when I see one. Take me to my Irys.
- (Mary Stoker): Better keep up then. The Destroyer awaits.
- The 2 women run out the room and make their way to the elevators.

- The Destroyer, still in its landlocked Aggregate form, continues to tear through stray artillery hardware and infantry with its sharpened appendages and Micro-Oxygen spray. However, it still struggles to fully destroy entrenched Maser and ULT Laser emplacements; it's also struggling to manage anything against the hover-bikes and fighter jets bombarding it due to being forced to stay on the ground for its mission.
- It takes notice of a door that opens up. Just as some of the C.D.F. infantry take notice, the Destroyer quickly makes a beeline for this entrance, ignoring any fire it's taking and making sure to entirely demolish anything nearby save for the individuals coming out. The crustacean colony evolution of Bagan extends one of its appendages to the entrance, allowing Mary Stoker to transform into her shadowy state to safely carry Daiyu Chen up its arm; the 2 of them are now standing on its shoulder next to its head.
- The Destroyer's body briefly devolves into a mass of its smaller Scuttler state before then reforming into its Imago form; it then takes flight, disappearing into the clouds.
- (Fighter A.I.): [COMMS] Moving to pursue and engage.
- (General Rasczak): [COMMS] No. Recon pursuit only.
- (Fighter A.I.): [COMMS] Understood. Switching to surveillance.
- The A.I.-controlled fighter jets deactivate their weapons and fly off in the direction of the Destroyer; they can only track it via visual means due to as-of-yet unknown countermeasures preventing other methods of tracking and detection from properly getting a read on the Destroyer's movements.

- Within the clearing made by the larval Battra, the petrified body of Gamera begins to visibly shake; the ground and loose debris surrounding it also begin to rumble and shake. The researchers stationed at the site to monitor his status quickly get to their posts and start analyzing the data they're receiving. A massive flow of Mana is detected both within Gamera's body and in the surrounding environment; coincidentally, the plant life nearby begins to display immense growth and activity matching sped-up growth charting videos.
- All of a sudden, the stone covering Gamera's eyes are blown off, allowing him to open them up and look around for the first time in quite awhile.
- The giant Atlantean turtle attempts to release the rest of his body, but the most he manages is loosening the rock covering the rest of his head; everything from his neck down remains encased in stone. The guardian of the universe roars loudly in frustration before he then looks down at the research staff monitoring his vitals and Ki signature. As he starts to calm down, the activity of the plants within his proximity returns to normal levels.
