Iona, the twin world of Eos. Torn asunder by a cataclysmic event, only two survived. King Fellux Naxan Valtreus and his daughter, Makina Hexxus Valtreus, fled to Eos and found sanctuary. As the last survivors who carry the blood of the mighty dragon...

Hearing the princess' name, Loqi maneuvered the mech around. He gaped in shock at the sight of the girl. "You?! You are supposed to be dead!"
Makina simply smirked. She vaulted over the railing and landed on the ground. She stood her ground as she felt an immense power flowing through her veins. Summoning Rift Cutter, she wielded her blade. Taking a few steps forward, she mumbled, "Ionus Sphere: sixth configuration." A circular, violet-colored rune appeared behind her. There were six slots with only two being filled with strange symbols. It moved like a dial and landed on one of the strange emblems. Her blade morphed into a pair of chakrams.
Loqi stood strong and attacked her. He fired missiles but gasped in shock when the princess tossed the chakrams and created two rifts. The missiles entered the void in front of him and excited the one behind him. The mech was struck with its own projectiles. He screamed in anger and pain as the missile hit the outer shell. "Damn you!"
Makina caught the chakrams and sealed the two rifts. She dodged the mech's attacks and slowed downtime. Throwing her chakrams a second time, she sliced off the arms of the mech. Time resumed and the two arms fell to the ground.
Loqi tried to take control of the mech, but the controls were emitting sparks. He wasn't able to control it like he wanted to. He tried to access the missile reserves but shouted in annoyance when the buttons weren't working.
Becoming bored, Makina decided to wrap things up. She aimed her chakrams at the missile reserves on the mech. With precision, she sliced through the explosives. It was the beginning of a chain reaction. The missiles exploded and caused other components to destabilize, resulting in more explosions.
Loqi screamed as he was caught up in the explosions. It wasn't long before he and the mech were blown to smithereens, leaving nothing behind.
The princess dispelled her weapons with a huff. She focused her slit eyes on the marshal as she walked over to join the others.
Cor was impressed even though it was hard to tell with his stoic expression. "Excellent job, Makina. What is the condition of the Ionus Sphere?"
She held her hands out in front of her chest. A faint violet glow started to emanate from her body. Slowly, an intricately detailed sphere emerged from her chest. Like the circular rune, it had six slots and only two were occupied by emblems. The silver artifact floated between her hands as it radiated with a violet hue. "All is well. It will take some time getting used to it, though."
"I can only imagine. Don't push yourself." Cor then glanced back at the boys. He noted their flabbergasted expressions but doesn't acknowledge them. "And you, Your Highness. I am impressed. Seeing you in action puts my mind at ease. It's clear I don't need to worry anymore. I'll return to watching the Niffs. 'Til next time, take care."
Cor and Monica leave.
With them gone, Makina stood awkwardly in front of the boys. She cleared her throat and immediately sealed the Ionus Sphere back in her body. "Well, uh..." She looked around and tried to think of what to say. "I... This is harder than I—"
