"You sure this'll work?" Shobu asked, holding the rare ore in his hand, glancing at Okami, before hesitantly looking over at Esdeath, who was waiting patiently for them.
"Yes." Okami responded, taking a heavy breath as he held up his own ore.
"Alrig...
"RAAAAAAAAGH!" Seryu cried in pain as she finally managed to pull herself over the thin ledge, leaning back against the wall.
There was barely enough room to sit down, and with all the rumbling going on, she has to be careful if she didn't want to fall... too.
She brought her hand up, ripping off the mask and throwing it away, crying into her hands.
"Fuck!"
At the end of the day, when it came down to it, she couldn't do anything, she couldn't help at all, and because she wasn't strong enough, one of her allies, her friends, had died right in front of her.
It's always the same, the thought, sobbing. No matter which side I'm on, everybody I get close to dies.
There was a gust of wind that shot up from the ground, and she quickly leaned back to make sure she didn't fall.
What?
She looked over the ledge, carefully, and noticed something.
Where... where is Leone?
Another gust of air, and Seryu flinched back as something suddenly grabbed the ledge.
"Phew, finally made it." Someone said, causing her eyes to widen.
"What?"
...
Najenda thrusted a sword foreword through the air. "All forces! Charge! All that's left is to take out Esdeath! Assemble all the Teigu wielders!" She ordered, charging forward on her horse.
...
Tatsumi coughed up blood as he fell to the ground, suddenly screaming in pain as the armour, no, the body of his began to mold into a different shape, suddenly roaring up into the sky.

The Rebel Army's forces, including the doctor who first diagnosed Tatsumi, stood in shock as they witnessed the transformation.
"Wh-why did he turn into a Dragon!?" Someone asked fearfully.
"It's possible Tatsumi suffered a fatal wound and his transformation was canceled, but I think the armour itself forced itself back on. He's been taken over by Incursio." The doctor theorized. "I'd heard that someone incompatible with the armour would die, but I didn't realize it was such a dangerous Teigu. But still, even if his body has been taken over, his passionate soul remains, it's incredible, but there's no telling what he might do."
Another soldier looked out at Tatsumi with worry. "Is there any way we can help him?"
"...I don't know." I want to, I want to do whatever I can to save him, he's helped so much in ending these dark ages, where life meant nothing.
...
"Are you happy now? It's just you, hurry up and do your worst, I'll show you just how powerful a King is." Okubo asked, holding his hands out wide, the Crystal Gauntlets shattering. "Come on!"
