The dark cloud that seemed to enshroud the world in its entirety rumbled and thundered. The flashes of lightning cast light on the elemarians and in them, I saw all their eyes on us Twintails.
There were plenty of omens sent my way.
Loel and Ryruna's attempt to warn me of this threat. Yellow's hallucination of an elemarian that didn't exist. The return of the supposedly fallen Kangaroo Guildy. There were all the little bouts of wrongness and deja vu too...
If I hadn't written them off, if I hadn't thought better of them and just faced them head on, maybe I could have stop this day of judgement before it ever came.
"With so many here treading here before, what fills you all is not fear... it is nostalgia. It must be because you've fought so many fine battles... However, it is those very feelings that will plunge into the pits of despair."
The brave warrior that scattered to the skies, Beetle Guildy.
The one that stands behind the mass of warriors and reaches into the skies with her size, Yggdrasil Guildy.
And... the emperor who fought the grandest battle to the death with me, Tyrano Guildy.
Seeing the commanders of three of the four pillars lined up like this covers us in pressure. And at the same time, there's this helpless nostalgia... I can feel relief rising up from it...!!
Drag Guildy nods as he takes in at how the elemarians around him react towards us. He looks down at us and acknowledges the warriors who weren't there by the time he fought us himself.
"Yellow and black Twintails...? Hm, you are..."
He gallantly looks on Black who glared back at him and he smiles as if that was all he needed to be told.
"I see. You went over to the Twintails... It seems there were some incredibly harsh battles that followed after my defeat."
However, that faint smile lasted only a moment. Valkyria Guildy speaks to Drag Guildy as though she were head of an entire brigade giving an order.
"My apostles, my brave and bald Einherjar... I leave this world in your hands."
Accepting those words, Drag Guildy raises his stout arm in the air.
"Listen Well Twintails!!"
His voice booms out across the air. Drag Guildy flourishes his mantle and raise his arm.
"We who were reborn have surpassed the divisions of our units and now stand against the Twintails as one!!"
The dragon god's farm becomes a banner to unite all the units.
"I heareby declare the formation of Neo Ultimaguil!!"
The cliffs quake in cheers. Drag Guildy's charisma commands even those of the higher ranking four spires. Not satisfied with merely reviving, he soars to greater heights. The elemarian equipped with both wisdom and valor makes his proclamation of all out war on the Twintails without any hint of haughtiness to it.
"Damn him! Drag Guildy is very clearly the one that has Tail Red's attention the most...! A deathmatch of the most extreme nature unfolded between us, so why!? ...HEEEEEY!!"
Tyrano Guildy seems to be only one to be making some sort of of complaint... It feels like he was waving his hands at me but the impact of Drag Guildy's words wiped it all away.
Neo Ultimaguil. The greatest unit sworn to bring down the Twintails right from the start is now born.
"To crown the organization you owe so much to with reborn name, the sheer arrogance of it... However, you are just a rowdy bunch of the dead so I can overlook this renaming."
Valkyria Guildy watches on through that declaration and assents to it in seeming acknowledgement.
Drag Guildy calls out valorously to me who was just shaking and quaking as I stood as if to pull my head out of the haze.
"Fate is a fickle thing. That's what it has to be for that promise to be fulfilled so exactlly like this."
"...!!"
Promise. My twintails take me back to the past at that word. Back to the sounds of swords trading strikes on that day. It comes back to life for me vividly as if it had only just happened.
[Someday in the next world let's...]
Those last words Drag Guildy entrusted me with in his final moments that day.
[As long as you love twintails]
That was how I answered him. And now, after so many battles, the promise we exchanged that day has been fulfilled.
"So, we meet again. Tail Red."
The curtains of our greatest battle rises on those gentle words of reunion.
