A massive blue ship was in the ruins of the fortresses on the moon. It had a very impressive design and moved like a living being.

The large blue ship was salvaging and using the destroyed bases and fortresses to make it a part of its own.

Inside, the Overcomers rested.

Seeker finally woke up from his near-death status and groggily left the pod.

"Ugh..."

"And so he lives..." A voice was heard, and a man stood observing him.

"What version are you?" Seeker asked.

"I'm the real deal, Seeker. You lost consciousness three days ago."

"Why are you up here? Shouldn't you be down...?"

"Taking care of Earth, we resolved it. The calculations of Arthur allowed most Overcomers to come up here. In any case, you woke up just on schedule. Did you enjoy your talk with your grandma?" Lennox asked.

Seeker scratched his head. He was lost for a bit but realized that those visions were real! It was all flooding back to him. Had not Lennox spoken of it, Seeker would have brushed all those dreams as untrue.

Memories of his talks with his grandma. Sometimes, his grandma would be at the back. Several times did, Seeker realize that he was with his grandma and that the scene would reset.

"Woah... Grandma's getting stronger!" Seeker's expression turned to amazement. Such an act would have great implications for their future warfare!

But before Seeker could say anything, Lennox continued.

"We have been doing what you are thinking. Your grandmother's powers have now improved by leaps and bounds. Using Lioncourt's technology, she was able to infiltrate the dreams of the Pioneers in the approaching Orbital."

"What?! She can reach that distance?!"

"Yes. She dared not to try going in the dreams of the powerful Presiders and Principals. Using Lioncourt to aid her as she dreams walks, she is able to sense the power of the Presiders and even finds the Principal. In truth, her first attempt indicated that she should have died."

"But the Principal ignored her. It even spoke to her at one time."

Seeker's expression soured.

"It taunted her. The Principal, Dormin, told your grandma, it's boring. Get someone up here and let them play."

"...As expected of a Principal." Seeker sighed.

"Yes. My son believes that he meant it. He really wanted someone to get there. And that he would leave the door open."

"...So that's why you're here."

"Yes. Arthur says that we are doomed to lose if the Orbital arrives in time. We need time. Let's go. The guys that matter are waiting."

Seeker nodded.

He moved out of the infirmary and could see the other Overcomers who were in their respective pods.

"...Really? Who managed to get Eagle?" Seeker was amazed.

"Quera. She won that round. But she also fainted. She's hidden in another pod. Her power of beauty goes all wild, and we would be unconsciously drawn to her, so we had to seal her up."

"Huh... Can't believe that my team is the biggest loser." Seeker sighed.

Inside the bridge of the large ship were several people.

Lynd, Meryl, Lowengren, Cliff, Rai, Jake, Harker, Vender, and Gardo were seated.

"Hi." Vender smiled.

"...You've got to be kidding me! So this is the team?!" Seeker cursed at Lennox.

But then Seeker suddenly retreated and used his Realm to stop something from approaching her.

Seeker frowned, and suddenly he stepped forward.

It was as if he teleported on his step, but even Rai couldn't sense Seeker disappear.

"Impressive. So that's the passover!" Rai praised.

The power was even better than Jake's. The force that tried to meet Seeker had used a power that prevented things from passing through her. Her molecular form had changed at that moment as the Wind within her grew dense.

It was the fifth member of the Winds of Hermes. The Invisible Wind was known as the Thief in the Night.

"Hmp! So feisty. Can't a girl get a kiss? I heard Kristine's had her share."

"This lip touches whoever it likes, Irvana."

"...? Was that the older one?"

"...Yes. I honestly don't have a problem with it, but you must have given my future self quite a time that he would reject it in such a way." Seeker chuckled.

"Hmp. Well, those lips will be mine someday." Irvana laughed.

"Geez. Can you guys stop doing this?" Meryl sighed.

"We have a mission to complete.

"So... Arthur plans to send a team to infiltrate the Orbital. This sounds dangerous."

"And yet, it's needed. The predictions of Arthur are very grim." Harker explained.

"Oh? Harker! You've reached Ranked Hero!" Seeker smiled.

"...Yes. That little space battle really pushed me."

"I actually lost." Lowengren laughed.

"Every time I lied, he would tell his allies to trust him. So, in the end, my gamble failed. I broke even and lost."

"Impressive, Harker. Is that why you're here?"

"Yes. We need a team that can move into the Orbital to spy and to destroy."

"Is that even possible?"

"Yes. The dreams of your grandmother showed us quite an interesting scene. Based on the dreams of many, the current state of the orbital is a wreck. The combined size of both combined forms makes this massive structure to be over a thousand kilometers in diameter. The entire Orbital has many rooms, or more appropriately, cities and districts."

"So it's literally like the verse says. In my Father's house are many mansions... Basically, the orbital is even larger than Phil-Pangea. But can we infiltrate it?"

"Yes. All the dreams that your grandmother saw revealed great wreckage. You could imagine it slightly worse than the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. The war of the Presiders has wrecked most of its parts. The size and the wreckage make it ideal for sneaking into that place as long as we don't go to a region that is under the control of a Top Tier Presider. And, of course, our advantage is that the Principal urged us to go there. He allowed your grandmother to visit the dreams of many and didn't bother her."

"I guess it fits a Principal's behavior. He wants the Presiders to break away from their limits and become Principal to be devoured. He doesn't care who wins. So the boredom of a Principal is our hope to survive... How pathetic of us." Seeker laughed.

"Yes. There will be many unguarded areas that we can move into."

"We just need a good ship. I'm guessing this is why the Kyogre is here."

"It's Primal Kyogre now. My daughter has managed to learn a bit of Suit's Skill." Lennox corrected.

"Your daughter is here?"

"She needs to be. She is the most important ingredient that would delay the movement of the Orbital. We know in your future that massive ships and those Orbitals that the traitors of Earth built be compartmentalized. And since this Orbital and the one that Garenjazz went in with could combine, we need to gain access from a sector."

"A sector? Wait... this implies... recruitment?!"

"Yes. We will be a mini-faction in there and recruit whatever Pioneers we can. The dreams of your grandmother reveal that many Pioneers are helpless and are expecting to die. We give them the promise of survival. Then we might be able to do it. As such, several Pioneers are called to go with us."

"That includes me." The door opened, and a woman walked in.

Lourca Ovilli walked in, and several Pioneers were next to her.

But a certain woman stood out among the Pioneers.

"Oh? You're here too?" Seeker smiled.

The woman was the highest-ranking Pioneer who held power for a time until the rising chaos changed the scene.

"Pioneer Madelyne. It seems Richie's voice kept pestering you."

"...One night. He promised one night with him if I did this. That is if I survive." Madelyne answered coldly.

"Can we trust her? Cliff, isn't this girl like one of Pridgeon's most powerful Pioneer?"

"Yes. But she's a freak among Pioneers. When I met her a while back, she was all over Richie." Cliff recalled Madelyne's moans when he fought her with her Throne.

"But can we trust her? Her only motivation is some booty call." Meryl exclaimed.

"Well, we can't. But right now, we can. You see, it was Pridgeon who lent her to us." Lowengren chuckled.

"What?!" Meryl was shocked.

"Hm... Makes sense. I'm guessing Pridgeon needs the delay too." Seeker nodded.

"Yeah. I contacted him and told him of our plight. As it stands, Pridgeon is also doomed to die. It's only a matter of time before his little alliance with Lanterk ends. So he needs the delay just as we do. Pridgeon has already known of Madelyn's lust. After all, Pridgeon is also being drawn by the Tyrant Empress. So he is giving her to us as an ally to delay the arrival of the ship." Lowengren explained.

"So let's all get along. Honestly, I'm impressed that the world is under the control of such young freaks." Madelyn laughed.
