Episode 48

## Plot

Inside of the Commander's Room Alex is deep in thought until a figure approached him from behind, stating that they can be of help. Alex turns to see an NPC introduce himself as Brandon, Gloria's son, and one of the inhabitants of Level Three. Alex quickly tells Nathan to endure at least 30 minutes from now. Before Nathan begins to protest, Alex states that he believes in him and asserts that he has a plan to help Hanna, as well as clear the game. Nathan agrees and asks Eva for support, to which she heartily agrees. As Eva uses her ability on Nathan, he thinks back to his conversation with Elliot outside of the White Hound base. He releases a large blast of energy which activated his Body Enhancement limit break.

Meanwhile, Hanna lays still inside of Twilight's body, covered in webs. Alex calls out to her to endure awhile longer while he goes to save her. Hanna asks to not make her wait long and confesses that she misses him. Alex confesses that he misses her as well while consuming the 10-Year Potion and quickly leaves to go save her. Alex makes an announcement to everyone and orders Elliot to support Nathan while Perry and Kate take care of the NPCs and remaining users.

Gloria receives a report that Alex's team still has not given up. Gloria dismisses the report and orders them to keep him away from Twilight. She thinks to herself that she does not like the idea of using Twilight, the key, as bait to lure out Red Hood. She then asks about Eclipse's condition. Eclipse calmly states that the entrance will soon be broken down. However, Elliot suddenly appears and uses his Shadow ability to counteract Eclipse's attack on their castle. Eclipse and Elliot make eye contact and soon begin to duel above Team One's bastion.

In the meantime, an injured Perry lies on the ground unable to move in front of Crescent. Alex then appears and interrupts them while Crescent activates her power to attempt to attack him. Alex dodges her attacks which flusters Crescent and makes Perry doubt his identity. He stops on top of Twilight in front of Hanna's buried body which gives Crescent a chance to attack him again. Before she can move, Perry grabs onto Crescent's head and stops her from making eye contact with anyone, preventing her from activating her powers. Perry shouts at Alex to stop spacing out and go save Hanna. As she pulls on the sides of Gloria's mouth, Gloria explains that it is too late, because Twilight will digest Hanna after 40 minutes of consumption. Eclipse manifests his Spear of Longinus and tells everyone that it is game over. However Alex believes that their team's core will not be destroyed because Elliot is defending their base. Alex lunges at Twilight's body and breaks open a force entrance to Hanna. He carries Hanna out of Twilight's body just in time and apologizes for making Hanna wait so long. He reveals his appearance after taking the 10-Year Potion and smiles at Hanna, asking for forgiveness. All of a sudden, Red Hood appears from behind and asks for an invitation to join as well. She sends a large blast of power attacking Alex and Hanna which reveals her entrance in Level Three.
