The world was never the same after that day.

Humanity learned that they weren't alone in the universe, but that wasn't something they had the time to worry about.

Their realization was accompanied by catastrophe.

Creatures beyond their wildest imaginations poured down from the sky and appeared from the earth. They slaughtered humans as if it was their singular purpose, driving them to the brink of extinction.

The people of the world did everything in their power, developing unique traits and technologies to create a united front their enemies couldn't penetrate. 

They secured victories and repopulated, feeling as if they stood a chance against the foreign invaders. 

They fought and they fought, doing everything they possibly could to ensure their survival.

Until the Great Calamities appeared. 

In front of them, humanity was nothing regardless of its efforts.

One by one, the worlds were turned into piles of rubble in between the cracks of their teeth. Civilization was torn apart, and the evolved humans living within could do nothing to stop its collapse. 

Humanity itself was left extinct, and in the end, only a single man was left alive amidst the chaos. 

Why?

For what reason were they punished so? 

Nobody knew why the attacks began in the first place.

He looked into the distance at the memories of the past and firmed his resolve. 

“It can only be me.”

He knew of a miracle that could return him to the place of those memories.

He knew of a way to make the wheels of time spin in reverse. 

And using it, he alone would save humanity from its doomed fate. 

That was his sacred duty as its final survivor.

The battle between Yhia and Heliux was bound to go on until either one of them died or fled. The Blue Steel Squadron absolutely could have stayed to watch the proceedings, but the moment the ground team entered the zephyr, it took off.

The twinjets that were still hovering near the original battlefield were collected, and from a distance, they used technology to monitor the battle instead of remaining within range.

The ground team's job was done. Gio's job was done. Now, only the operators were left working as they turned the battle into data that could be understood at a glance.

While that took place in the operation center, Gio left to meet Raymond and the rest.

The operators were busy already, so they didn't say much about his departure, but that didn't mean they didn't acknowledge his presence.

Gio clearly saw their slight nods as he left, and he certainly felt the new air of respect in the air.

'As expected, it pays to do well.'
