## Summary

### Day 52: September 15, 2033

A strange voice calls Jun, trying to wake him up and promising everything will be fine on a short mission. Everyone wakes up including Jun, who wakes up screaming. Mikey starts to look into it when Jun exhales heavily and says it's just a nightmare. In Modern City, Lord Piller is awakened by an archerer. He wakes up to the news that the Izuzunu Empire is about to be destroyed. With excitement, Piller agrees that Izuzunu's death will actually strike. Nugget shows Piller black sand and a fire-starting rock, which are ingredients for summoning the powerful oshir. Excited and ready for the final fight, Piller is sure that the Izuzunu Empire will be crushed. Izuzunu Empire will be demolished, Nugget promises while grinning.

At Feiburg, King Almanfro expresses his desire for his niece's survival. At the Doom Brigade Prime Base, two archerers are discussing the progress of the war, with both smiling as they believe it should be going well. Meanwhile, at Eungi's house, Jun explains his nightmares. In his nightmares, Jun hears a male and female voice reassuring him that everything will be okay and that he will remember it all. In the dream, he claimed to feel drunk and unwell, which may be connected to Melanie's claims about her history. While Chloe is sneaking outside, Chloe finds a golden Revival Stick and offers it to Jun. Eungi advises Jun to keep it in his pocket.

Although still wounded, Jun struggles to stand up. Staying in bed is Eungi's suggestion, but Jun still gets up and claims he can still fight. He takes his sword and declares an end to the conflict. Kyle asserts that it is unlikely that Edison, the real president, will make a swift comeback. Lord Piller and his army are being awaited outside by Jun and the rest of the Izuzunians. Jun expresses gratitude to everyone who supported him during difficult times, including the deceased Melanie, Tidus, Collin, Roselyn, Coen, and Kayla.

Jun and the other Izuzunians see Piller as the battle draws near. Knowing that this will decide which of the two nations wins, they all shout loudly. Lord Piller kicks Jun on his stomach wound while also summoning kalruts and sending shards to defeat Jun. Lord Piller is then thrown outside a building after Jun runs through a hole in the wall and slams his face against the wall. The kalruts fall to the ground, and Jun attacks them quickly. Piller uses his shards to slash Jun's arms.

The group puts an end to their fight to look at Jun, who is being hurt by Piller. Jun makes Piller think of his daughter right when he's about to cut off his head. If Piller's daughter had been alive today, Jun claims that she wouldn't have been pleased with him. Melanie is lying on the ground as Piller looks at her. He is reminded by Jun that he has the potential to be a wonderful father and that she wouldn't want him to behave in such a way. Jun thinks Piller has upset and enraged her daughter. Lord Piller sobs and collapses to the ground. Both his and everyone else's lives are spared when Piller lets them live. The Doom Brigade is then told to leave by Lord Piller, who claims that this is only the beginning of the war.

The only person left is Nugget. Everyone gathers in a circle around Nugget after Eungi yells for them to do so. Everyone dodges the Azure Plasma's blue beam of light from Nugget's sword when Nugget yells, "Slashing Azure!" Nugget has vanished, so the group searches everywhere for him in vain. Although Jun tries to reach the squad, it is already too late. Nugget slices Jun's head off while landing behind Jun. Everyone looks in horror at Jun's head. Blood pours out of Jun's neck and head as his body collapses to the ground. Kyle screams, and Nugget commands them to kneel before him at this time. Kyle will not submit to him.

Chloe and Eungi run to Jun while crying. The remaining Izuzunians join in, and the swords clash against Nugget's. Kyle is able to slash Nugget in the stomach despite Nugget blocking every attack. Kyle collides with George and is then propelled through the air by a kick from Nugget. The bad news that Coen and Roselyn were killed fighting the Doomgaders is delivered by a guard to the Feiburg King's Domain. Astounded, King Almanfro disciplined the guard for failing to send more soldiers to Izuzunu. Lord Piller and his army left just a short while ago, the guards say, and the bodies will be obtained later. Almanfro is then told by the guard that his niece Summer also passed away. In shock, King Almanfro screams.
