Eyelume stands in the main room of the arc, looking at a table covered in information about the Battlefield. The battle has already begun, and a swarm of soldiers has already been sent to fight the Men eaters who are stronger than ever. It's the day, no more waiting. Eyelume begins to walk toward the roof of the Arc while walking he thinks about everything he has done. Taking care of others, making friends, fitting in, learning, progressing, go beyond what he believed was possible for himself.  He stands on the rooftop of the arc, looking at the World Tree with a smile. In preparation for the fight, he has equipped himself well. wearing a black coat with light armor underneath and a replica of Hope's scarf. He made sure Spike would be in good hands, asking a nurse called Lume to take care of him. The inner workings of the Arc were pretty impressive, even for Eyelume. But now wasn't the time, Eyelume had a mission, one he had taken enough time to prepare for, saving Hope.
Eyelume thoughts were interrupted by Mash placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Oh, Mash," Eyelume smiled and returned a gentle pat on her shoulder, "I'm sure everything will be okay, we are strong, we can do it."

With those words, the two friends entered the battlefield. Their goal, get inside the World Tree as fast as possible. Running as fast as both could, they eventually came in front of an army of Men eaters. Much bigger than the ones from the Ruins, these men eaters seemed strong enough to rip a building apart. But this did not discourage the two, Eyelume looked at Mash with a smirk, and Mash nodded. Fighting together with grace, having fought together for years, they knew each other perfectly in battle. The fights were long and tiring, with swords clashing, blasts of blasters flying everywhere, and a feeling of hope heavy in the air. But the Men eaters seemed to come more and more, making it impossible for Mash and Eyelume to get to the world tree. Eventually, Eyelume and Mash were able to get right in front of the entrance, but they were overwhelmed with enemies.
Mash started to keep the Men eaters away from Eyelume, and confused, he tried to make her come with him instead of staying back. Mash launched a huge slash, giving her a few minutes of peace.
For years, Mash and Eyelume had traveled together, Mash would give Eyelume warmth, prepare him food, and train with him, and Eyelume would repair her, walk with her, speak with her, and show her something her creators never showed her, kindness. Mash rips off her respiratory mask and walks up to Eyelume, revealing that her lips have been repaired after all those years. She grabbed Eyelume by his scarf and kissed him, then she spoke, with a broken yet emotional voice.

"I am Mash. I exist because of your kindness towards the world. So go fight for what is right, Starman."

Eyelume was shocked, but he quickly changed this shocked expression from a courageous smile.
He turned around and nodded before running inside the World Tree. The World Tree doesn't look like it used to, it's now dark and gloomy. The realms of the gods have been transformed into gigantic crystal balls with Diamond symbols inside of them, emanating strong pure energy that seems to repeal Men eaters. As he walks, he meets with White demons protecting the entrance of the Frozen hell from weird Demonic creatures. Eyelume quickly kills those beasts with his claymore and looks at the White demons, but before he can say a word one of them, the White demon of Sun, Snow, walks toward him and grabs him by the collar.

"Bastard of a demon! Do you know how many years we have fought against Despair?" She begins to tear up, and her horns and tail begin to glow a slight blue color, showing that even the most perfect White demons can show imperfections, "what are you fucking waiting for, go save Hope already!"

Eyelume nods calmly and ruffles her hair.

"Sure thing, Snow. I'll make everything alright, don't worry."

EyeLume begins to run toward the center of the World Tree. At the center, he saw Despair being retained by Hope's powers. They were floating right in front of the SUN. The deep void underneath the SUN makes it impossible to reach them but Eyelume wasn't stopped by that. He ran toward the edge and threw his claymore with all his strength, the claymore landed on them getting their attention but losing his weapon in the process. Hope sees Eyelume and begins to shout.
