![]() ![]() With Zenon out of her hair permanently, she bashfully asks Cid if they could keep their relationship going “a little longer”, with the heavy implication that it would no longer be “pretend”. Her style represents effort, heart, and determination.īack at the academy, Alexia reminds Cid that he told her he liked her fencing style, which is the same thing her sister said years ago. Now she understands her sister wasn’t patronizing her when she said she loved her style. Watching Cid has changed her perspective on things. Then, to her surprise, a worried-sick Iris arrives and gathers her in a hug, which Alexia accepts with sisterly grace and love. She stands within the depths of the crater his blast created, and whips out her sword and pulls off a few stances. Naturally, despite the destructive power, Cid took steps to ensure Alexia survived, but also never got to see her savior’s face. The members of Shadow Garden watch and revel in their leader’s truly almighty power. His attack detonates, turning the environment monochromatic before evaporating Zenon in a massive blast that emerges from underground and consumes dozens of city blocks. In his home world, he could never hope to overcome the blast, but in this new world the sky’s the limit, and after years of training he’s managed to become nuclear himself. He tells Zenon (and Alexia) something they wouldn’t know about: nuclear bombs. ![]() Cid, meanwhile creates a beautiful blue and purple field laced with intricate bands of light. Cid is disappointed with this “unsightly” display, and offended that Zenon dares call it the “power of the almighty”. He lashes wildly at Cid but every strike is parried, blocked, or dodged altogether. Having had his fill of being overpowered, Zenon gulps on some magic pills that enhance his strength, stamina, and physique. ![]() It’s the product of obsessive hard work, not natural talent. Down in the sewers, Cid continues to impress upon Zenon just how overmatched he is, but as Alexia watches she notices that Shadow’s fencing style, powerful as it is, is simple, textbook…much like hers. Shadow, and Shadow Garden, are many orders of magnitude more powerful than anyone else in the city that’s abundantly clear by the ease with which ever Diabolos Cult base is eliminated, along with the fact Alpha just showed up Iris. A flabbergasted Iris asks her what the hell is going on, but Alpha politely tells her to sit back and enjoy the show. Alpha does, and the red light of Iris’ magic-infused attacks are replaced by a massive pillar of blue light that obliterates the beast, leaving behind the body of the girl that was its core, as well as a locket showing who she was. That’s when Alpha shows up and tells the good princess, essentially, that she’s doing it wrong.Īll Iris is doing is making the poor beast suffer she doesn’t have the power to put her out of her misery. But no matter how many times she slashes the beast, she ends up regenerating her severed limbs in seconds. Meanwhile, the mad scientist’s giant monster starts wreaking havoc in the streets, it falls to Princess Iris to deal with it. Zenon has no idea who he’s dealing with and is confident he’s the superior warrior. Alexia just has to sit back and watch along with us as “Shadow” takes his time toying with Zenon like a cat with a mouse. Instead, it ended with him simply showing up, which led me to wonder two things: would a lengthy battle ensue, and was Alexia still in danger? The answers turn out to be “yes” and “no”. I thought last week’s outing would end with Cid completing the rescue of Alexia and the defeat of her evil fiancé. ![]()
