Sebastian wakes up on a bed and quickly realizes that he must be on one of the rescue ships, after rubbing his eyes and gathering his bearing's he slowly leans up.
There is no sound of gunshots, no long range weapons firing, no bombardment from battleships, in fact, no sound of any fighting whatsoever.
"Hey, let me take a look at you" a medic says to him.
"Anywhere hurting?" He asks.
"I'm a little achy and saw, but ok other than that" Sebastian replies clearly fatigued.
"Ok follow my finger and touch it with yours" the medic instructs him.
Sebastian follows the instructions and watches the medics finger before tapping it with his own finger.
"I'm pretty sure you only have mild injury's, my main concern is that you passed out in the water, you need to keep warm so you don't catch pneumonia" the medic instructs him and wraps a blanket over him.
"Sure thing" Sebastian replies tugging on the blanket.
"Hey, are we away from the main land?" He asks.
"Nope, we are still at the Eastern Docks" The medic replies.
"Did we win?" Sebastian asks.
"I don't know if win is the right word, but Terra Auri have scarpered" he replies with a concerned look upon his face.
"They ran away?" Sebastian continues to ask now pushing himself up off the bed.
"Pretty much" the medic replies giving him a helping hand.
"Why?" Sebastian asks but immediately looses track of what he is saying looking through the doorway.
He slowly walks over to the door continuing outside onto the deck, in the sky and almost directly in the middle of everything is Heaven's Gate, blissfully floating about in the air shinning brightly with its vast array of lights far above the ground.
"Impressive, isn't it" the medic states leaning against the edge of the ship with him.
Up in the sky, Heaven's Gate is now fully staffed with military personnel, engineers, soldiers and other necessary individuals going about various tasks within the Sky Scraper, Oliver clearly in charge of operations is slowly brining the war machine to become fully operational again.
An escape craft is making its way over from the aircraft carrier just beyond the docks towards Heaven's Gate with Nathan inside.
"What's that red blob over at the mountains on the map?" Daniel asks, feeling rather out of place at this point.
He is referring to a red blob appearing in a beeping motion on one of the large monitors.
"That, is a distress signal that this damn thing has been suppressing for the past eight years" Oliver explains.
He is watching the escape craft that Nathan is approaching on intently.
"The crew that escaped?" Michael suggests.
"Not just a pretty face are you" Oliver tells him with a smirk.
Riley seems to have taken back up his old position on the Sky Scraper, and is helping the engineers with the necessary repairs and overhaul around the place.
"Brace yourselves boys, the king, has arrived" Oliver states sarcastically watching as Nathan's aircraft lands inside Heaven's Gate.
Riley just so happens to be walking over to the three of them wiping all the grease of his hands with a dirty cloth.
