Vivi and Misaki supported the injured Sakila out of the AF hideout, together with all of the soldiers in the vicinity. It was a victory they could never have imagined. They have never expected all of these incidents to happen. The spies, the battle, the complications, all of the sadness and sorrow these people had caused. A few soldiers cried, some hugged each other, and some rushed back home immediately after getting permission from their respective leaders.
"It's not so soon to celebrate guys..." Jackson announced.
Everyone frowned. All of them knew what he was going to say.
"We need to get rid of their strong hold immediately, just in case... Misaki, Vivi..."
Misaki and Vivi nodded.
"I have already coated the entire strong hold with very thick metal. It will stop the explosion from getting too big and spreading to the cities."
"I have set all the other missiles we found in the stronghold to explode in the strong hold in another 3 minutes... " Vivi explained.
"I see... That's good."
"No its not..." Vivi's face was pale. Everyone turned to look at her. She continued. "I have calculated the power of the missiles. If we stay here, we will get caught up within the blast."
"WHAT!? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO SOONER!!!"
Vivi laughed.
"Vivi! Vivi! Chirp!" It was her bird. It came back for her.
"Great! Can you get all of us out of here to about two to three kilometres away in 2 minutes?"
"Get out! Get out!" It nodded and threw a few thick strands of wires out of its body.
"Everyone! Tie the wires around you tightly!!" Everyone complied.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go! Let's go!" The tiny bird then started to suck and compress air within its small body at an alarming rate and then, before anyone knew it, it blasted off and everyone was pulled up into the air by the enormous strength of the blast. After about a minute of flying, the bird started to lose power and they gradually sank back down to the ground. They were no more than 2 kilometres away.
"Let's run!" Misaki shouted and everyone started running.
"Come here!" Vivi called to the bird. The bird came to her. Vivi then went to stop Sakila and she removed her shoes. She then pulled off her own and slid them onto hers. "You're injured. You can't run."
She then pulled the wire on Kuu onto Sakila. "Go."
The bird started pulling Sakila forward. Vivi ran with the rest.
After about another minute or more of running, they heard a tiny explosion, followed by a horrendously loud boom after a few seconds. The strong hold has exploded. "Oh shit..." Everyone increased their speed. The explosion radius expanded and were spreading fast, not before long, it was already chasing behind their footsteps.
"Oh shit! Everyone! Prepare yourselves!!!" The explosion blasted them off into the air and they flew a few hundred metres away and landed on a huge field of weeds in an unmaintained farm. Vivi sat up from her fallen position in pain. She groaned as she plucked out some pieces of debris from her wounds. Slowly, the rest also sat up groaning. All of them were injured by the blast. But, slowly, one by one, they started laughing. They were alive. The AF were defeated. The strong hold with all of the horrible memories was destroyed. And all of them are back together. Vivi stared back at Sakila, who doesn't seem to know what just happened. She seemed to have lost her memories for some reason and cannot remember any of them right now. However, she seemed to like Kuu. A smile appeared on the face of the girl as she played with the tiny bird. "Sakila! Sakila!" it chirped.
Vivi headed over to Sakila and sat down beside her. "You like it?"
"...Yea." She replied. "It's yours right?"
"Uh-huh..." "What's its name?"
"..." Vivi paused. "It... doesn't have a name."
"..Ah..." Sakila sighed.
Both of them sat silently for a period of time.
"Ah." Sakila suddenly responded. Vivi turned to her curiously.
"Can I... give it a name?"
"Eh?" Vivi lifted a brow. "... What name are you thinking of?"
The girl laughed. "How about... Kuu?" she smiled sweetly.
Vivi's expression changed. She was surprised at first, and her face slowly changed to a painful expression, before it turned to a softer expression.
She paused for a very long time, remembering an incident quite similar to this.
Then, her shocked expression slowly changed into a smile as she replied. "... Sure."
"Alright! Everyone! Let's go back now! We'll be holding a celebration in town later! You don't want to miss it! Let's go!" Jackson announced.
"Yea! Alright!!!" Everyone cheered.
Vivi turned to Sakila. "Shall we go?"
The girl turned back and replied. "Uh-huh!"
