60. The Battle Continues

The Navigator quickly activated mental communication with the team fighting in the Arcadia City park.

"Catherine, what's your status?" he asked, his tone urgent.

"Where have you been?!" Catherine snapped back, her voice filled with frustration. "We've been fighting this Cinderella tooth and nail, and you just vanished without a word!"

"Apologies, there was a situation at the flying castle that needed my attention," the Navigator explained. "But now I'm back. Focus on the battle. I've noticed Cinderella's pattern—she's slowing down. We have an opening."

Thomas, overhearing the exchange, chimed in anxiously, "What happened at the flying castle?"

"Not important right now! Focus on Cinderella. Trust me, we can win," the Navigator interjected, cutting off further discussion. "Thomas, use Leviathan's Influence. Stop her movements!"
