[Star Nation.]

​"Stop them!! No Wendigo will breach the city!!" Gabriel roared, a figure of desperate power against the tide. Thousands of his Mercenaries and soldiers clashed with the monstrous, relentless flood of creatures.

​He waved a hand, his power instantly wiping out tens of thousands of Wendigos, only for the empty space to be replaced in the next heartbeat. The horde was endless, like water from a shattered dam.

​"Where are these things coming from?!" Arthur, standing on the wall, asked in mild confusion; this volume of enemy was unheard of.

​"I don't know, but we mustn't let them get past us!" The lady beside him—focused and grim—fired on the beasts, her gaze narrow.

​Gabriel, his mind constantly seeking the source of the threat, raised his head to the cosmos. A frown carved itself onto his face as he spotted a minute, yet intensely red object in the distance of space.

​BAM!!!!

​An unknown, colossal force smashed into the planet. The ground lurched violently, and everyone—soldiers, citizens, and even the Wendigos—lost their balance, tumbling to the ground. The battle stopped, replaced by sheer shock.

​"What's happening?" A soldier cried out in horror.

​"This?" Gabriel, his horror amplified by his greater understanding of physics.

"Why is the planet moving towards that light?!" His terror wasn't just fear for himself, but for the entire nation.

​"If the planet gets farther away from the Sun, we will all freeze to death. No!! We must find a way to stop this. But... How?" He muttered, his mind reeling, recognizing a threat that dwarfed any terrestrial war.

​[Elves' Nation.]

​Victoria hovered over a field littered with the thousands of Wendigos she and her soldiers had slaughtered. Her face was ashen, the sight confirming the terrible scope of the attack.

​"It seems we aren't the only one that got attacked..." She exhaled, her voice heavy with fatigue.

"I hope both of you are safe." Her whispered concern for her family.

​BOOOOOOOM!!

​The planet trembled violently, a deeper, more profound tremor than any earthquake. Victoria's head snapped to the sky, staring at the unsettling red dot.

​"Wait... Is the planet moving?!" she gasped, stunned. With her strength, she could sense the fundamental shift in their trajectory, a change imperceptible to ordinary people.

​"No! Something isn't right here!" Her confusion gave way to decisive action. She turned to the commander behind her.

"Send a drone now!! I want to know what that is!!" she yelled, pointing at the minuscule red dot.

​"Yes, My Queen!!" The commander saluted, relaying the order through his cosmic brain.

​"We must know what's happening there." Victoria stated, her anxiety transforming into fierce curiosity and focus. She wasn't just a warrior; she was a ruler who needed answers to save her people.

​"Princess Jessica!" A guard rushed into the throne hall, bowing to the anxious Jessica, who had been restlessly pacing.

​"What happened?" she asked, immediately turning to face him.

"Any news from my father and brothers?!"

​"At the moment, nothing..." the guard answered.

​"The Wendigos?"

​"Dead, every single one."

​"Ok." Jessica slowly nodded, sitting down on her elaborate throne. She forced herself to assume the posture of a Queen, a necessary mask of calm.

"You can go, keep watch on the borders."

​"Yes." The guard left.

​"I hope you are all safe," she whispered, her facade cracking slightly.

​BOOOOM!!

​"....?!"

​Jessica instinctively gripped the arms of her chair as the whole castle shuddered and shook, then instantly settled.

"What was that?" she asked, mild shock replacing her anxiety. She didn't grasp the cosmic significance, but felt the terrifying, unknown power behind the tremor.

​[Ogres' Nation.]

​WHOOSH!!

​Josephine smoothly severed a Wendigo's head, then turned her gaze to Ellen, who sat atop her colossal Giant, crushing every creature in her path.

​"Such strong Summon, impressive babygirl," Josephine commented, her focus remaining steady despite the chaos.

​"Not impressive when those giants are your enemy," Star, who stood a few feet away, muttered, kicking a Wendigo back miles away. Her kick was fueled by pure, bitter memory.

"I will never forget these things." Her anger at their history threatened to derail her focus.

​"That one isn't an enemy." Jinx landed beside her.

​GRRRAAAA!!!

​Jinx turned to face a dozen rushing Wendigos. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, instantly using her power to suppress all their combat stats. Her move was cold, surgical, and efficient. She threw her dagger, then turned back to Star.

​"Get a hold of yourself," she said, her tone devoid of emotion.

"Focus!" Her dagger efficiently sliced the throats of the suppressed Wendigos before flying back to her hand. Jinx, revitalized by the battle, ran toward the next group.

​"Why do I have a feeling she is enjoying this?" Star asked, turning to Josephine, trying to process Jinx's macabre efficiency.

​"That's Jinx for you." Josephine simply answered, unfazed.

​BOOOOOOOOOOM!!

​The entire planet violently trembled, throwing those still standing, including Star and Josephine, to the ground.

​"What?! Why is the planet moving with such speed?!" Star asked in shock.

​"This? Is this the Great Mother doing?" Josephine raised her head, staring at the terrifying red dot. Her face grew pale as she registered the speed of the drift.

​"We must get off this planet! It's closer to that! With this speed, we have only ten minutes to move."

​"Ten minutes?! We can help with that."

​The group turned to see Leonardo walking toward them, his severed arm bandaged. He and the others were injured but willing to fight.

​"You aren't in any shape to help, none of you are," Star countered, getting to her feet, her focus now on evacuation.

"We need to search for any survivors and take them off this planet with our ships."

​"Yes! Get goin—"

​BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

​Another explosion sounded, but this time, the massive red dot in the sky shattered into pieces.

​"This?!"

​Josephine instinctively gripped her chest. Her face drained of all color, her eyes wide and dizzy, her connection to Sunny through the mate bond instantly reacting to the trauma.

​"Sunny..."

That was all she managed to whisper before her body betrayed her, and she collapsed, losing consciousness.

​"Sister-in-law!" Star shrieked, rushing forward to catch Josephine before she hit the blood-soaked ground.

Hearing Star's cry, the Commanders and Ellen stopped their battle and snapped their heads toward the terrifying scene, their faces a mask of confusion and profound shock. The celestial explosion was horrific, but Josephine's collapse—a direct sign of a catastrophic failure—was even more terrifying.
