Rossi made the air lessen around the deviant as Thena went to cut its head off.
Rossi looked over to see deviant running straight towards her. She touch the ground and gold wisps ran through the ground making roots from the ground hold it down. Makkari then ran into it using the force of her speed to knock it to the ground killing it.
"We should have been doing that move more often,'' Rossi signed to Makkari.
"We really should of,'' Makkari signed back.
"Time to go back to the others,'' Rossi signed.
"Take my hand,'' Makkari signed.
They quickly caught up to Thena who was already in the forest close to the rest of them.
"There were more deviants than you said,'' Thena said as they approached the group.
"I'm sure that was a lot of fun for you three,'' Phastos said.
"It was,'' Rossi smiled.
Phastos lifted his hand from the other revealing the Earth. "Once the others kill the last deviants, we will of eliminated them all from the planet,'' Phastos explained.
Everyone started to hear gunshots and screaming. Druig eyes started to glow golden.
"Don't,'' Ajack simply said to him. "We don't interfere with their battles,''
Rossi quickly looked over to Thena who's forehead had a sudden gold streak in it that quickly disappeared.
"Are you okay?'' Rossi asked.
"It's genocide,'' Druig said to Ajack. "Their weapons have become too deadly, maybe it wasn't such a good idea helping them advance,'' Druig said to Phastos.
"Technology is a part of their evolutionary process, Druig,'' Phastos said. "It's not exactly something I could stop,'' Phastos continued.
"Thena? What's wrong?'' Rossi asked again. Thena just kept looking out onto the fight. "Thena, come on let's sit down, away from them,'' Rossi said.
"No, you can't but I can,'' Druig said to Phastos.
"It's too late,'' Thena suddenly said.
"Thena?'' Rossi asked.
"Everyone is going to die,'' Thena said her eyes suddenly turned all white, she drew out a sword. She lifted the sword to Rossi. Rossi quickly got the roots of the ground to tie Thena's hands together.
"Thena? It's us,'' Rossi said. She broke free and started going after Rossi and anyone else that went near her.
Makkari ran over and grabbed Sersi and Rossi. Thena stabbed Phastos, Makkari then ran towards her using the force of her speed to push Thena away. Thena drew out another one of her weapons to stab Makkari in the abdomen, she was going to attack again but Ajack stood in the way, getting the sword through her hand. She waved her hands, which seemed to make Thena quickly break out of whatever state of mind she was in.
"Don't listen to your head,'' Ajack said as she walked closer placing her hands on Thena's temples. "Listen to my voice, you are safe, you are loved, you are Thena,'' Ajack said.
Thena then snapped back and started to attack. She stabbed Ajack in the abdomen.
Gilgamesh ran over and wrapped his arms around her.
"Thena! Stop! Come back to us!'' Gilgamesh begged. Thena broke out of his grip and cut his cheek. Gilgamesh knocked her out, knowing they couldn't win the fight. "I'm sorry,'' he said as he leaned down next to her.

"I always thought Mahd W'yry was a myth,'' Rossi said.
"There isn't a cure so no one really talks about it,'' Phastos replied.
Thena's eyes turned back to normal, Rossi rushed to her side.
"Are you feeling any better?" Rossi asked with a sympathic smile.
"What happened?" Thena asked.
"Thena, you attacked everyone, you wounded Sersi, Phastos you nearly killed Makkari,'' Ajack explained.
"I don't remember,'' Thena said.
"You have Mahd W'yry, your mind is fracturing under the weight of your memories, we must erase your memories, I will have to inform Arishma and take you back to the ship where we have the information and the technology to help,'' Ajack said.
"But then Thena wouldn't be Thena,'' Rossi said.
"She could of killed all of us,'' Kingo said.
"Please... I want to remember,'' Thena begged. "I want to remember my life,''
"Thena, you know I love you, but listen, it's not important if you remember, you spirit will still remain, you will always be Thena, trust me-'' Ajack explained.
"Why should she? You're asking her to let you erase who she is,'' Druig spoke up.
"Druig... listen, I know you're upset-'' Ajack began.
"Upset?'' Druig shouted. "We've trusted you for 7000 years and look where you got us, I've watched humans fight when I could stop them all in a heart beat, you know what that does to someone, is this all a mistake? Are we really helping these people build a better world?'' Druig said as he stared down at Ajack. He turned around the humans who were fighting. "Just watch them, pawns to their leaders, blinded by loyalty, it ends now,'' Druig said as his eyes started to gold.
The people at the bottom who were fighting suddenly dropped their weapons and looked up to him. Ikaris grabbed Druig by the shoulder and pushed him up against a wall.
"Let them go,'' Ikaris said.
"You're gonna have to make me,'' Druig said standing up straight up.
"Stop,'' Ajack said as she walked to them. She looked at Ikaris, signalling for him to step down.
"You're gonna have to kill me,'' Druig said before he started to walk down to the humans.
"Shouldn't you go after him?'' Thena whispered to Rossi.
"I'll find him after you get better,'' Rossi smiled as she rubbed Thena's back.
"I can watch over Thena,'' Gilgamesh said.
"One day when she attacks you, you might have to kill her,'' Ajack said.
"We'll take that chance,'' Gilgamesh said.
"You may all go, deviants are go, no reason why we should stay together,'' Ajack said. Rossi could tell she was somewhat annoyed with how everything has played out today.
"Shouldn't we ask Arishma?'' Ikaris suggested.
"I didn't ask for your advice, Ikaris,'' Ajack said. "This is where we say goodbye, I want you to go out there, live your lives,''
