As the Esper was brought to the ground, the two kept looking around. Still, despite Emiri's idea didn't seem to be happening. No one came. Nadeline couldn't help but lower her guard, turning back to the battle. As Emiri was about to scold her, the two were surprised by Ixion's sudden arrival. He kicked Jaakuna over the edge, and in one fell swoop, impaled Adrammelech. The girls immediately ran forward. They were both in disbelief: how did Ixion know to come here? What was worse, he basically stole the Esper after all their efforts. Emiri quickly joined Wesley, heaving Jaakuna back up as Nadeline watched Ixion escape. She had half a mind to go after him, but as she remembered their last battle, she hesitated somewhat. There was nothing left to do, and no point in fighting.
