The First Spatial Quake killed over 150 million people and destroyed a portion of the Eurasian Continent. To this day, nobody knows how they occur, but rather...they're caused by someone, someone not from this world. The AST and DEM are made to comb...
Back at the Ratatoskr Base, Vajra lays on his bed with his eyes closed, trying to communicate with Firefly. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a dark space, and in front of him was Firefly.
Firefly: "Vajra..."
Vajra: "Firefly, is something wrong? You've been silent for some time now."
Firefly: " *sigh* It's just...I'm just thinking."
Vajra: "Thinking about what?"
Firefly: "...I'd...rather not talk about it. I'll tell you another time, ok?"
Vajra: "Are you sure?"
Firefly nods and Vajra's vestige disappears. The hooded figure with tendril-like wings that Firefly met forms where Vajra was before.
???: "You're concerned about his fate, aren't you?"
Firefly: "...This wasn't the fate he was supposed to have. I've burdened him with this new one."
???: "Indeed...The Molten Knight Spirit was not supposed to exist, correct?"
Firefly snaps her fingers as an image forms, showing Vajra in a completely different style and with other spiritual powers.

???: "I see...this was his fate if you didn't meet him."
Firefly: "In all honesty, He would have been more powerful if I didn't fuse myself with him. Iron Cavalry Knights tend to have their spirit power suppressed in the suits..."
???: "Hmm..."
Firefly: "Inarius. If push comes to shove and I am forced to do something that will make Vajra think of something else to prevent my loss...will you grant him your power?"
Inarius: "...I will do what is right."
Firefly smiles as everything fades to black...
We switch over to the Balladeer as he sits in his lab, his eyes closed and arms crossed. He opens his eyes and finds himself in a space setting when suddenly, a giant eye opens in front of him.
Balladeer: "Patience is needed, you know. Rushing your revival will only make things annoying for MY plans."
???: "Disordered one, remember the bargain."
Balladeer: "I know. I wouldn't be able to create the swarm if you didn't provide me with Tayzzyronth's arm from which to collect DNA. But remember, once I'm done collecting the Sephira crystals and be on my way, you'll step in and bring about the correct way of this world. I bet it must make Mio so distraught to see her MOTHER is about to turn Earth into a puppet show."
