## Summary

### Day 40: September 1, 2033

During a conversation with Jun, Melanie disclosed a stunning revelation - they have a family residing on Earth and were dispatched to Kepkury to locate the drip. Jun and Melanie are siblings and have another sister named Naomi. Melanie expressed a strong desire to return and rescue their family from the devastating World War on Earth. Jun assured Melanie that they would make it back home safely.

### Day 51: September 14, 2033

The team stood in the battlefield, feeling hopeless. Lord Piller laughed and called Tidus and Keneth weak. Kayla arrived, running towards them, asking what happened. Her faith began to diminish. Eungi looked up at the sky and declared that Izuzunu was doomed.

Coen and Roselyn arrive to help in the battle against the Kalkruts. They discover that Jun was eaten by the Kalrhino and that Nugget has been working with Lord Piller. Nugget declares himself as the new president, but the group does not trust him and refuses to recognize him as such. They all prepare for the final battle, determined to end the war.

A group of fighters charge into battle, yelling and attacking the enemy. Coen seeks revenge and fights fiercely, while Roselyn and Kayla work together to take down their opponents. The Izuzunians seem to be winning until Lord Piller sends shards raining down, injuring Kyle and others. Despite the danger, the fighters remain steadfast and form a circle back to back.

Jun finds himself stuck inside the stomach of a kalrhino, trying to figure out how to escape. He talks to a dead body due to boredom and then realizes that he's in stomach acid, which is getting hotter. He struggles to get out and avoid being boiled alive. Outside, the kalrhino is destroying buildings as the war rages on.

Jun has been ensnared by Lord Piller in the kalrhino. Piller proceeds to belittle Jun, calling him a feeble child who believes he possesses the qualities required to become an Emperor. Within the confines of the kalrhino's stomach, Jun becomes despondent. He begins to immerse himself in stomach acid but then remembers Melanie. Melanie urges Jun to be resilient and brave, and not to shed tears. Upon realizing that Jun has perished, Kyle and Coen are met with the command from Piller to be decapitated.

The scene was chaotic as Jason, Piller's kalrhino, was suddenly blown apart, and in his place, Jun emerged from the sky and landed on the ground while many others expressed their astonishment at his sudden appearance. Jun wasted no time and confronted Lord Piller, defeating almost all of his men in the process. However, tragedy strikes when Nugget unexpectedly murders Coen, leaving Roselyn and everyone else in a state of shock. Jun was devastated to see Tidus and all his companions lying motionless on the ground. As the sun began to set, Jun sat on the ground, feeling defeated and helpless. Lord Piller offered him words of discouragement, telling him to give up and rest.
