Coral, Helen, Polyta and Nix all gather at the portal. Eladea, Rilly and Zabelle see them off.

—Polyta—
Are we ready to go? Helen, are you certain you want to come?

—Helen—
Yeah. It's not like... you know.
If it helps the island, then...


—Eladea—
Blessings upon your mission, sisters! The Goddess smiles upon you!
May your fortunes be fair!

—Polyta—
You're going to be okay while we're gone?

—Eladea—
Fear not, Polyta. With our new arms, we will hold our own just fine.
I will oversee patrols, Casandra will continue with her import program...

—Rilly—
And I'll be keeping spirits up by spreading the love!

—Eladea—
Rilly. What do you mean by that.

—Rilly—
Oh, you know!

Rilly leans forward and plants a sudden, girlish peck on Eladea's cheek, who looks surprised and flustered.

—Eladea—
!!!!
R-- Rilly!! That is the sacred duty that Jiro--!!

—Eladea—
...Ahem. Nevertheless.



—Eladea—
You can rest assured, Polyta.
Should any enemies of the Goddess come to sully our sacred lands...

Eladea suddenly looks very grim.

—Eladea—
I will make them suffer.



Polyta, Nix, Coral and Helen leave through the portal. Coral waves behind her as she goes.

—Eladea—
Farewell and good tidings!

Coral
* Seeya later, girls!!

—Rilly—
Byyyyyyye!!!





Meanwhile, perched behind a slab of stone, Rex watches.















His brooding mystique is short lived: Eladea jumps at him, startling the daylights out of him.

—Eladea—
You ARE NOT welcome here, SPIRIT.

Rex
* Relax, girlie, I'm just passing thr--

—Eladea—
LEAVE. NOW.

Rex
* Orright, orright!!
