Astros' Revenge

As Elsword, Aisha and Rena, under their disguises of Rebecca, Harbin and John, managed to regain Crescentia's trust, they were able to secretly enter her secret room while she was away, where Princess Astros is being held captive in the same bed as the pawn shop owner back in Phosphor Temple, with the former two trying to wake her up but she didn't respond, so they freed her without waking her up, and revealed themselves as their original form to her, who woke up and said to them "Wait, who are you?"

The former replied "I'm Rebecca and this is my friend Harbin."

Astros responded "So you're Elsword, right...? I've never heard of you before but what brings you and that friend of yours here?"

He replied "That's right. I'm here with Aisha and our friend Rena to save you and the entire Daystar Purgatory from Crescentia!"

She responded back to him, saying "Crescentia? I know her before. She and that cult were the ones who killed my entire family a long time ago and still hasn't learned her lesson from what she had done to them. I want to avenge my own family by killing her and her family as well."

Suddenly, he noticed something wrong with her body by looking at her right arm, which instead of her normal arm and hand showing up, it was a dark blue-purple hand with long claws attached to it and as she took off her long vest, the infection was not only in her arm, but in her upper torso and right cheek, to the trio's horror.

Astros declared "I'm no longer the lovely princess Astros that I used to be before, but now..." before transforming into Astaroth, an tall and slender demon, with two unequal horns on his head, and saying "I'm now Astaroth, the underworld ruler of this entire DAYSTAR PURGATORY. Since you gained my family's murder's trust, I'm going to KILL YOU ALL FOR ONCE AND FOR THE GOOD OF THIS ENTIRE PURGATORY!" in which she said to Elsword, Aisha and Rena "Prepare to die, you bunch of criminals!"

He replied "What?! What did we do to anger you like that?!" before telling his allies "Girls, we better stay away from Astaroth or else she's gonna kill us!"

Aisha replied "Yeah, let's leave before Astaroth and Crescentia finds us!"

Rena responded with "Let's go!"

As the three ran away and threw their Rebecca, Harbin and John disguises behind in the secret room, they went to the shared house and told the others not to stay in Daystar Purgatory because of Astaroth's dangerous behavior that might destroy this dimension, and upon hearing the news, Solace advised the other El Masters and Priestesses not to stay in there and come with him to the El Tower in Elrianode.

The others followed suit, and were never seen in this dimension once again.

Meanwhile, a dimensional rift near the shared house caused a dimensional portal to an another world completely different from Elrios, and Elsword told not only his friends Aisha and Rena, but also his cousin Fabian and the other characters as well to follow him in the portal, with half of the entire cast leaving the dimension as a whole.

Now with them gone, the pawn shop owner and his family missed their saviors so badly that they decided to close their own shop in fears of it getting destroyed by Astaroth's wrath.

Back at the Daystar Palace, at the secret room, Crescentia came back, only to realize that her enemies were gone, and said to herself "Good riddance." only to realize that her hostage Astros had became Astaroth, an demon that was sealed inside the hostage's body after the former killed her entire family, and the latter said to her "Crescentia, you traitor. How dare you kill my family and yet, you still didn't take responsibility for your actions? I'm going to show you what it feels like to have your entire family killed as well."

As a result, Astaroth summoned Crescentia's husband Deimos, who was very faithful to his own wife as well as their daughter Creola, while telling her "This is your husband and daughter, remember them? I couldn't find your father and grandfather since they live in the moon, but you know, I'll kill your entire family for what you had done to my entire family.", in which the latter's grandfather Qamar showed up out of nowhere behind the former and said to her "Princess Astros! What are you doing to my granddaughter and her family?"

The former looked behind and recognized him, telling him "I'm gonna teach her a lesson for what she had done, so you're next."

He got shocked and said back to her "Astros! I swear I never did anything wrong to you, but I admit that Crescentia's the one who did it, not me!"

Realizing what Qamar's actual purpose was, Astaroth gave up on threatening to attack Crescentia's entire family and transformed back to Astros, in which she started to cry and called herself a monster when actually the latter is one, and she was soon surrounded by the characters who was thought to be gone to another world, in which she apologized to her heroes Elsword, Aisha and Rena, as well as the latter's grandfather, husband and daughter for their actions, and they were able to forgive her for real.

As a result, Astros told the heroes to bring their Rebecca, Harbin and John disguises with them and get out of the secret room, in which they listened to her, with Fabian telling his allies to follow suit, and everyone except for both the two women, left the entire scene before it could get worse, with her declaring the cult a terrorist organization and gave Crescentia an ultimatum to either stay in the Daystar Palace and keep the secret room for herself only, not for her potential lovers, or to get out of the palace and go somewhere else instead.

Ultimately, the latter chose the latter option, and told her cult members to follow her as she finds a place for the cult to move into.

As the entire cult finds a place to settle, Creola made a plan on how to get revenge on her mother for abandoning her and her father and prioritizing the cult instead of her own family, and upon encountering Astros as well as Elsword, Aisha and Rena near the Phosphor Temple, she shared her plans with them and if the plan failed, she wouldn't give up, deciding on a plan B.

The plan B was to gain the trust of a henchman of Crescentia's, who had more knowledge about her and knows about what she's up to, so he could give them the evidence of her wrongdoings.

And so on, they decided on a plan B, where they disguised as cult members under a fake name and managed to gain trust from the henchman in question, so he secretly gave them the evidence of all of Crescentia's wrongdoings before they left.

After a few days, the cult decided to settle in a concrete house that was left abandoned a long time ago, since the previous owners tried to sell the house to potential buyers, but all of them refused to buy the house due to its sketchy past, and since then has been abandoned by the owners themselves for several years.

While the five of them were tracking Crescentia down to this house, they discovered an unconscious young girl, who was one year older than Fabian, with her weapon (a magic staff) next to her, and although they did surrounded her, Creola's mother suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said to her own daughter "Wait?! Who are you?!"

She replied "Mom, I'm your daughter! You abandoned me and dad for that cult, right?"

She responded back with "You're my daughter? I don't recall having a husband and a daughter!"

Astros told her "Stop lying, Crescentia. You lied to us that you didn't have a family when in fact you have one."

Creola called her father Deimos to confront Crescentia over her lying about her own family, and things were getting intense between the two of them that Elsword told Aisha and Rena to leave the scene along with him before it could get worse, while telling the former to come join them, but she refused, stating that she wanted to be with her family and help her parents reconcile in which he listened to her wishes and left the scene with the people he told them.

Suddenly, the young girl wakes up, and said to herself "What is this? Who are these people that I've never heard of before? I think I should follow the others that left." in which she gets up and followed the trio since they already left the scene.

The scene escalated to an huge brawl, in which one of the henchman, who had trusted them with the personal details he had of Crescentia, decided to betray his own master like Laban did, and chose to sacrifice his own cult identity to live a normal life, while the entire family and Astros got into an argument to the point that nearly half of the entire members had left the cult in solidarity for him and are looking to change their lives for the better.

While the girl was wandering around the forest, she noticed rice cracker crumbs on the ground, and walked near the Phosphor Temple before she stopped at the same forest that Fabian and Seneca went to gather strawberries back in Master of Moon El, where she saw Elsword, Aisha and Rena enjoying a campfire, roasting marshmallows for dinner, and asked them if she could eat the marshmallows with them, in which he agreed, and shared some of Aisha's marshmallows with her.

As they were eating toasted marshmallows, the girl introduced herself as Saros, who used to be a guardian of a starry land far away from the Daystar Purgatory, but she found herself in this world because of an Armageddon threat that almost killed her own world, and her father wasn't there for her when she needed help the most.

Suddenly, Elsword felt bad for her and related to her as well, as his father left him and his sister Elesis behind years ago, even though the latter would leave him behind as well, which led to him fending for himself on his own, training with a sword and joining the El Search Party, before he later gained the ability to resonate with the El.

However, as the two were talking with each other about their personal struggles in private, she felt hungry and he felt the same as well, so they both fed themselves with the strawberries that he gathered on his own, until they both parted ways, with her telling him goodbye, and he waved goodbye to her, telling her to come back again in case she comes back to talk with him one day, but true to her words, Saros never came back to see him that day.

Meanwhile, as Astros, Creola and Deimos were confronting Crescentia over the latter's family, and at the end of the confrontation, the former warned the latter's remaining cult members that the cult itself will be banned from the Daystar Purgatory and put into its list of terrorist organizations effective today, and upon finding out that it would be banned there, Crescentia herself declared to her cult members that she'll prioritize her own family instead of focusing on her cult activities, deprioritizing them for good, making them think that their leader had sided with their enemies when in fact she was the one who betrayed the entire cult, and decided to dissolve the entire cult as a result.

After the cult was dissolved, Astros decided to banish Crescentia to a faraway place in the demon world as a result for her actions, and sentenced the key members of the former cult, now named, now named the Hilal Church by the latter herself at the time of its formation several years prior to the events of Elsword Fables' Secret Ending, which was then the prequel to Daystar Purgatory's prologue, to life imprisonment for an eternity.

After doing so, Astros was hailed as the knight in shining armor by not only Crescentia's husband and daughter, who left for the demon world to keep an watch on her, but by those who were brainwashed into joining the Hilal Church, including Rufina, Laban, Anisha, Elesis, Add and Ara, to name a few, as well as the people of the Daystar Purgatory, along with Elsword, Aisha and Rena, who were the victims of the cult leader's actions from the beginning like many others affected by her.

As a result, Astros thanked everybody for their efforts throughout their adventures, and as a result, she summoned a portal for the remaining heroes who supported her throughout her journey as an prisoner of Crescentia's, so they, along with their allies, will have to find out more about the real truth behind the latter's actions, with telling everyone goodbye, before jumping into the portal, which disappeared into her eyes, and soon, she later said "Until the time we meet again, everyone."
