Desti could not move, not could she even speak from Moria literally standing in front of him... Moria only smiles more from this sight, knowing that she feels fear
Desti: *Thoughts* Oh... No... W-Where is Phoenix?! Don't tell me... No...
Moria: Hehehe... I didn't know that you would know who I was... :)
Desti: *finally finds the courage to speak* W-Who are you...?
Moria: Why that's a very bold and naïve question to ask since you already know who I am... I can see your facial expression well... :)
Desti: *is even more scared* Why are you here...? I have nothing to do with you...
Moria: Now now... You know that's not happening... Not when I'm so close to getting rid of that brat once and for all... :)
Desti: *thoughts* Phoenix... Does this mean...
Moria: If you know who I am... Then you know who he is... :)
Desti: T-That's bold... Everyone here saw the warning you gave and everyone is already in hiding...
Moria: True... You could just be a normal pedestrian who could've seen the damn mistake that my worthless technician made... :)
Desti: W-What? What are you talking about?!
Moria: But... Would there even be a reason for you to be so afraid if you only saw an image? :)
Desti: There obviously would be! A creepy photo of a guy that would just pop up in the screen of Inkopolis for no reason is going to attract attention and panic from the words that were also on display!
Moria: You make it seem to real... Almost like you are lying... :)
Desti: I'm only a single person... Pursuing a goal, nothing more... Now... I-If you'll excuse me... I need to go-
Moria: *grabs her by the neck* :)
Desti: ACK!
Moria: If you think I'm going to pass up on an opportunity to destroy something important to that cocky Firebird once again, you're dead wrong. :)
Desti: *attacks him to force him to let her go but to no avail*
Moria: If you're wondering where the rest of your friends are... *Snaps his fingers, revealing several soldiers with everyone's unconscious bodies draped on their shoulders* They're right here, nice and snug... :)
Desti: YOU... MADMAN!! *Passes out from a small attack by Moria*
Moria: Madman? More like ingenious... To have Phoenix grovel once more... To play with my food just once more before I kill him for good! :) We're out of here!
The rest of the soldiers that were already on Earth appear and they have the rest of the crew in their clutches
Moria: We can finally send our little plaything a parting gift for good before he can rest in his nightmares! Then, and only then, will I finally reach my goal!
Meggy: D-Darn it... *Passes out from the injuries and exhaustion from trying to fend off the soldiers from their ambush*
Moria: Let us prepare a welcoming gift for our little pest...
Soldiers: YES BOSS! *fly to the castle*
Moria: *smiles*
Meanwhile...
Phoenix: *obviously struggling with fighting all four of them*
Destroyer: You cannot beat all of us yourself you fool! Give up and die now!
