Episode 21: Transient Bonds

Even though Faldio is a bit crazy in this episode, I still love him! I wanna be Princess Cordelia..Faldio hostaged her. Waaa.

Alicia is really of a Valkyrur origin. Faldio was able to confirm his theory about Alicia's origin. Because she was shot and her life was put into danger, her Valkyria power reawakened.

Faldio hostaged Princess Cordelia just so he could get the sword and shield that Alicia can use. At first, Alicia doesn't respond to her calls. No matter how he calls her name and no matter how he begs, Alicia won't open his eyes. But upon hearing that Welkin is in trouble, Alicia opened his eyes and went straight to the battlefield.

Selvaria proves to be so hard to beat even to Squad 7. Largo was even placed at the brink of death when Selvaria attacked him. Just when hope is about to go out, Alicia, glowing in blue came and attacked Selvaria. Selvaria is having a hard time against Alicia. Her speed, her strength and her powers are too much for Selvaria. After they faced each other, Selvaria had a flashback of a little Alicia.

Alicia was able to defeat Selvaria and that caused the Imperial Army to retreat their forces much Maximillian's dismay. But before they can fully retreat, they had a taste of Alicia's power as she attacked them. Maximillian is about to die but was only rescued by Selvaria.

After the battle is over, Alicia collapsed in Welkin's arms.

Episode 22: Confusion

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

We start with a flashback. Many years ago, Alicia is in a facility where she was a part of an experiment together with other kids including Selvaria. They were not properly fed and they were always being experimented upon by the people. Well, all of these are just a dream of Alicia who found herself shocked because of what he did in the previous battle.

Welkin, on the other hand is dying to know where Alicia is. Since the military wouldn't allow him to see her, he went to Faldio instead. My dear Faldio is being kept as a prisoner. He admitted to Welkin what he did including shooting Alicia. He explained that he had to do it to awaken Alicia's Valkyria powers, even though he is doing it only by his hunch. Of course Welkin is mad and angry but Faldio reminds him that because of what he did, Squad 7 and everyone else were saved. Still, Welkin is angry and disappointed over what his bestfriend did. All the poor Faldio could respond is a question....a question of what he could have done. With this,Welkin walked away.

Alicia is being kept in a room and she is allowed to come out or even contact anyone. Damon arrives announcing Alicia's promotion to Captain and movement to the regular army. Of course, Alicia doesn't agree and wouldn't accept the promotion but Damon and his men convinced her by saying that people view her differently now. Plus, Damon claims that Welkin approved to this. To her frustration, Alicia ran away.

The Squad 7 is also at a loss on what happened. They have mixed emotions about Alicia being a Valkyrur. Rumors are also spreading that she is a monster and people didn't want to be with her anymore. Welkin, Largo and Rosie try to protect Alicia but it was too late as Alicia overheard everything. She cannot say anything to what they all said and just thanked everyone and bid them farewell. Welkin ran after her explaining that people are just confused.

Alicia is already convinced that Squad 7 is not her home anymore and she is ready to leave. Welkin still tries to convince her by saying that she is their comrade and their friend. He also said that he wanted to be by his side, the same way that she took care of him when Isara died. But Alicia took off her scarf and bid her farewell. The Alicia he knew is now gone. What he sees right now is monster. With this, she bids him a tearful farewell.

Episode 23: Shape of Love

With Alicia by their side, the Gallian army has achieved victories left and right. With what happened between Alicia and Squad 7, they all realized their mistake and would want to apologize to her. They went off to see her but were stopped by the regular military. They overheard one of the commanders call Alicia a monster and so a fight happened between them. Welkin arrives on the scene but surprisingly, he also punched the commander after calling Alicia a monster.

Princess Cordelia also visits the imprisoned Faldio and declares that he is finally free. They had a little talk about Randgriz family but they were interrupted by Welkin's beat up body.

While unconscious, Welkin had a dream of Isara bringing him food. Isara is saying something what she feels about Alicia but the dream ended. He woke up and found the entire Squad 7 watching over him.

Cordelia also visited Alicia and asked her if she needed anything. All Alicia ever wanted was to keep everyone safe. By everyone she meant Faldio and the entire Squad 7. The next day, Alicia and the princess had a ceremony of recognition before the next battle. At the same time, Squad 7 is ordered to be Cordelia's special guards on her way back.

Welkin realized that Alicia arranged for this and he runs out to find her. They were able to see each other but Alicia is already inside a vehicle with Damon. All Welkin could do was to cry out her name helplessly.

The next morning, Alicia and Selvaria's fight begins.

Episode 24: Will

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

The battle between Alicia and Selvaria begins but Alicia is already loosing her will to fight. She got no home, no friends, no family and nothing left. She wondered how Selvaria have the strength to fight. She realizes that Selvaria is someone from her past, an orphan just like her.

Another flashback happened. This completes the story when Selvaria and Maximillian met. Maximillian saved the young Selvaria a.k.a as A1. She was chosen as the best subject for experiment while the others were being disposed appropriately. She escaped from the facility and was found by Maximillian who gave her the name. Because of this, Selvaria fights for Maximillian's sake.

Welkin returned to the HQ and thought about what he should do. He is looking at photos of them together. He decides to leave his post and at his front door is the whole Squad 7 who is willing to go with him.

Maximillian declared a truce and went to talk with Cordelia. At first, Maximillian said that the war causes people to suffer, which was agreed upon by Cordelia. One condition by Maximillian for the truce is for Cordelia to marry him. This is all in line for him to obtain the Gallian throne so that he can fulfill all of his plans. He wanted to use the Valkyur blood that runs in the Randgriz family.To his disappointment, Cordelia reveals that he is not a descendant of Valkyur but a Darcsen.

Alicia is about to give up in her fight but she remembered Welkin and everyone else and alas, she realizes that she important people too. She was recharged because of this memory and Selvaria decides to settle this in the next clash. The two charge at each other and it was Selvaria who falls. Alicia didn't finish her off because she believes that Selvaria has someone important to her as well. But Selvaria's dedication is so strong that she sacrificed herself in a massive explosion that takes out everyone, including Damon and his forces.

As Maximillian saw that he cannot use Cordelia, he orders Marmota to crash to the castle. While on board, Karl informs him of Selvaria's fate but he was unmoved by what happened. This angers Karl and as he tries to speak up about how Selvaria fought for Maximillian, the prince shot him dead saying that anyone who blocks his way would perish the same.
