<<We're all waiting on you Alicorn, land and we can go home.>>

Alicorn lowers her airspeed and turns on her air brakes as she lands on her large submarine, that's floating next to Hornet's ship. People stand on the edge of Hornet's ship and cheer as Alicorn lands.

Alicorn opens the canopy on her jet and the cheers of humans, and a few Azured Ships, reach Alicorn's ears. She hops out of her jet and looks at the people who cheer for her.

Alicorn's military coat has multiple large tears and cuts in it, as her dress has a few holes in it as well.

"Alicorn!" Hornet's voice rings out, and said girl looks at her. "Come on up!" She waves at Alicorn.

Alicorn nods and jumps up to Hornet and people start to pat her on the back.

"You're a hero!"

"You saved the day!"

"I don't care if you're a Siren, you're alright in my books."

Count walks up to Alicorn. "Thanks for the save back there, I owe you one."

Alicorn just remains expressionless and nods.

But suddenly Hornet hugs Alicorn. "Oh, I'm so glad you're alright! I got so worried!" A warm feeling fills Alicorn's chest as she slowly brings her arms around Hornet.

'I don't like this warm feeling...' Alicorn says in thought. 'It's unnatural to me.'

Hornet stops hugging Alicorn and turns to everyone on her ship. "Let's go home and celebrate!"

"YEAH!" Everyone cheers as a few surviving HO ships sail up next to Hornet's ship.

Alicorn looks back to her sub and it turns into thousands blueish-black cubes and they move onto her back, creating her rigging.

The three shark-like heads roar and start to rub their cheeks onto Alicorn. Alicorn rubs their cheeks and a small smile forms on her face. "Yes, I've missed you three too."

Hornet's ship sails out, with the surviving HO ships guarding her. Everyone begins to have a small party on the deck of Hornet's ship. Throwing around footballs, throwing baseballs, or just sitting in some chairs on the deck.

Alicorn just stands on the edge of the deck, looking back out to the Space Elevator, smoke rising from the wrecks of multiple ships and crashed planes. Her rigging lets out a few rumbles as they look around.

Then she looks down at her hands and clenches them. She feels a hand placed on her shoulder and she looks to the side and sees Hornet beside her. "You seem worried, are you okay?" Alicorn's aunt asks.

Alicorn unclenches her hands and lowers them. "I'm fine... Just thinking back on the battle."

"You did the best you were able to, against enemies that even Enterprise would have trouble against." Hornet begins to walk away. "It'll be a while before we get back to base, so get some rest."
