They rush towards the tower, but then a "Steel Dragonfly" emerges from the fog and attacks

Piña loyalist commander: Surrender! You dare disgrace Hardy and Her Majesty's command?!
Zorzal loyalist commander: Shut up! You betrayed the Empire first! Soldiers, kill that mongrel! Whoever gets his head claims whatever prize he wants!
As the battle rages, Eldian troops began securing districts and began closing in. Revealing their whole battle plan was to lure out the remaining Zorzal loyalists. Leaving only Molt's royal guards to protect him at the palace
Satoshi: It's clear, let's breach!
They barge in, killing every guard that stood in their way
Satoshi: Piña, you sure you can handle what you have to do? Piña: ... Always.
They then barge into the throne room
Molt: Piña. Zorzal: You! My strength has been honed. Now, I can defeat you, puny, filthy, barbarian!
Satoshi: I got Zorzal.
They clash as Zorzal's sword clashes with Satoshi's bayonet
Satoshi: You believed that you could win? Pathetic! We destroyed 60% of your forces! Zorzal: We always had setbacks! The Empire never lost a war!
Satoshi: Then, here it shall fall.
With a single stab, Satoshi's bayonet meets with Zorzal's neck. Killing him
Zorzal: Urgh...
Molt: I will not yield. I do not regret starting this war. Satoshi: ... You attacked us. You enslaved our people. You're no God, nor are you the savior of your people. You're a man. A simple, petty man.
Piña then steps forward
Piña: You know what I must do, Father. Molt: Yes. And... I'm proud of you, my daughter... Piña: ... It's not gonna be easy during the reconstruction of our empire. Molt: I know, but I know that it's you that will lead it. And not Zorzal. I'm ready...
Satoshi: ... I'll give you a moment.
Satoshi turns around as a loud stab is heard, followed by a thud
Piña: He's dead... I.. I can't believe I... Satoshi: ... It's okay... it's gonna be hard. But as I once said, "No battle can be easy, nor hard. It is how you perceive the battle to be."
With that, the war between Eldia and the Empire has come to an end...
Four years later...
Piña: I hereby declare that our payment to Eldia has been fully paid!
The Empire lost a lot of territory, but it didn't matter. All they cared about was restructuring. Marley signed yet another treaty with Eldia, stating that Marley could keep their planets as long as they stood being assholes. And for Satoshi? Well...
Belfast: Papa! Satoshi: Yes? Belfast: I drew a picture of us! Satoshi: Amazing! You're such a talented one!
Satoshi pins the drawing on the fridge
Serena: Lunch is ready!
Belfast and Satoshi: Coming!
