*Suddenly to everyone's amazement, a pillar of violet-colored light starts streaming upward from the main reactor in Corroria. Everyone stops and watches as the light becomes brighter and slight shockwaves can be felt. Then the sky darkens, a wave of darkness swoops across the landscape and consumes the known world of Earthia. The entire world is consumed in a state of twilight...*

*A lone AX-72 flies through the atmosphere toward the source of the light*

Harkin says, "That's what I thought."

*The AX-72 opens fire on the reactor, then turns around for another pass. Robotic turrets throughout the vicinity open fire on the ship.*

"Hold together..."

*The ship fires again at the base of the reactor and does visible damage.*

"One more time, hold on...."

*The AX-72 turns around for yet another pass. The turret fire has penetrated the transport's shields and is now hitting its hull. The transport fires one last time at the base of the reactor and a massive explosion engulfs the facility. It falls over and breaks into thousands of burning pieces. The stream of light disappears, and soon after the sky lightens once again.

The transport then accelerates away from the turrets toward the northeast, the direction toward Frionia. It barely escapes Corroria in one piece.*

Terakuu rushes over to the extinguished pillar.

"Remarkable... I wonder what happened here."
