It really was a massacre. Stella and Essie were so much stronger than anything else the Rebellion had to offer, it wasn't even funny. Stella already was a nightmare to many Republic soldiers... but now she had two new weapons. The first was five years of pent of rage and hatred, her once kind and gentle heart had warped in a way Miiko couldn't truly understand - five long painful years of waiting, and now was finally her chance for some payback. The second new tool of hers was in the form of that politely smiling Spirit with a dangerous glint in her eyes - she too, had a lot of frustrations that needed to be vented and she was more than glad for the chance to show off what she could do. "Any last words, L?" Stella held the flag to his throat, it was about time to end.
L smiled without even the slightest hint of fear in his eyes. "If you kill me, you'll never make it back to Yavin unmonitored." L spoke confidently, as if the idea of death wasn't the slightest bit frightening for him. "If you kill me here, you'll win the battle... but you'll lose the war. Stella shook, she couldn't accept that, that utterly moronic stupid excuse! "You kept me a prisoner for five whole years." Stella's eyes brewed with a dark rage that couldn't be contained. "Don't you know how hard it was for me?" L's smile grew grim - one not of regret, but of necessary evil. "Sometimes one must become a demon in order to bring peace to and happiness to everyone." L said cryptically, and Essie frowned then. "His threat is real, Caster." The younger Hart twin said quickly. "We'll just have to make your revenge even sweeter for next time we get this chance."
The battle was over now, L called the retreat - they did significant damage to the boats of both Ondern and Yavin's ships - they wouldn't be able to mobilize large armies for a long time, not until they fixed the boats and created new ones. But the Republic had so many more ships in the factories being built this very moment that this was hardly a setback for them. Back on the Horizon Star, everyone was present. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you." Rose hugged Miiko back, panting because the rebound had been so painful. "You must have been so scared... you're so brave." With a crack, Stella appeared, and she most definitely was unhappy.
"Miiko, you're truly a moron." Stella was speaking not as a sister but as a fellow rebel, looking down at Miiko with disappointment. Essie gave Prisca a vague frown, shrugging her shoulders, there was so much drama here that couldn't be explained. Callum was holding his chest, eyes longing, but he didn't know what to say, not after this long. "It's your duty to make sure the enemies never find your Summoner, to never touch it, but you panicked and now every time you fight, they'll know to grab the plastic rose." Essie giggled bitterly, sarcastically. "I'm sure Prissie deserves it." There wasn't even the hope of forgiveness in her eyes. "But the rebound of someone else touching it, it's really awful, you know?" Prisca wanted to defend Miiko but with Essie's judgmental stare, she was unable to say a word, only hold on tighter to Miiko.
