*A rearrangement of ”Shining From Far Away” begins to play. The Celestriad glows between Blitz and Melana, while on Earth, the people of both nations and the party members watch as the palace rapidly falls to the planet in a multicolored fireball. Up in the palace, Blitz and Melana realize that they’ll have to destroy the palace with themselves inside in order to prevent it from crashing to the planet. The Celestriad can disintegrate the palace safely, but even with its powers, it can’t protect them. The two realize what’s going to happen to them, but they’ve come to terms with it.*
Blitz: *takes Melana’s hand* At least the world will be safe… and at peace…
Melana: Our friends will be sad.
Blitz: …*smiles* I can hear them now… I can hear everything now.
Melana: I can hear it too… the Celestriad is speaking…
*The Celestriad glows and the palace begins to break up. Back on Earth, the people begin taking shelter, but soon everyone, first the party and then ordinary Gozans and Kunarians, can see the impactor breaking up in the sky, giving off trails of brilliant colored light that illuminate the sky. The world is saved, but Hark and the others know that Blitz and Melana have made the ultimate sacrifice for it.*
Ophi: Hark, they…
Hark: *holds Ophi tightly in his arms*
Artemis: This didn’t have to happen…
Sanathri: …I should be the one up there…
Lucilla: You were the only one who could restore the energy to Salvation.
Gulrock: Dammit…. They worked harder than any of us to make this possible…
Ophi: *sobbing into Hark’s chest*
*The only remains of the palace are two singular rays of light, one blue and one red. The lights draw closer to the planet, seemingly fading as they descend to land. Hark looks up to watch them fall.*
Hark: ...they’re beautiful…
Ophi: *looks up at the lights* But… I can’t enjoy it, not when my friends are…
Artemis: …wait a moment… *senses something from the lights* It can’t be…
*Inside the beams of light, the Ruby and Sapphire Stars fall to Earth… and holding them are Melana and Blitz.*
Melana: *opens her eyes* What….what happened?
Blitz: We’re alive… we’re falling! *gets over to where Melana is and takes her hand* But how?
Melana: *closes her eyes and hears the voice of the Celestriad*
Voice: Your choice is a wise one… to split this power between the nations… while the Emerald Star remains among its brothers in the sky, keeping the peace. Our spirit will do its best to protect you, brave champions… but it is a fall from space… you may not wake up.
