In the aftermath of the battle against Kami, a large fleet of ships can be seen approaching the scene. Many of them are heavily damaged, but at her front stands a massive warship. A construct the size of the average moon, with a huge metal face at her bow. Cannons adorn her sides, as the Terebithia floats through space, surrounded by an energy sphere built for interstellar conflict. Thousands of ships, led by this monstrosity of engineering and technology, an armada of unstoppable firepower floats through the empty vacuum of space to greet those heroes that had faced the self-proclaimed Lord of the Universe. ---------------- As the Clone Emperor grabs the ring, he, also, is encased in lightning. And yet, even as it is equal, it is different from the reaction experienced by Mithias. He is filled with lightning, but it does not burn him, nor does it scorch his soul. His mind is filled with the consciousness of an alien being, but there is no conflict. In that instant, his entire body glows with the pure power of the ring, his mind screaming under the strain of the force that has struck him. Golden armor covers him, and his eyes turn red. His soul seems, for but a moment, to bond to something greater. However, as the man opens his eyes, it is not the Clone Emperor that glares at the world from behind those eyes. It speaks with a voice that disrupts the flow of space itself, an impossible echo in the minds of those present. "Fear the Darkness that lies outside Existence, that stands outside Life. Fear the Hope that burns Within, for the Darkness is the Heart of Hope." After these words are spoken, the ring disappears, together with the unspoken power. The impossible strength that had burned through reality disappears as soon as it came, and the Clone Emperor is left, stunned, his eyes a burning hole.
