Things weren't looking good for Hibiki. As she was swimming towards friendly waters, she spotted the shadow of the Angel's fleet above her. She swam deeper into the water as fast as she could but then she saw nets get deployed. Without her blade she wouldn't be able to cut through, and she had doubts her repair drones could cut through the netting fast enough. Still she deployed a few to follow her just in case, but regardless she was trapped. Hibiki heard Dora ask for her surrender, which Hibiki was hesitant to accept. They were allies not too long ago, though enemies now, and hopefully Dora would treat her well as she promised. However Hibiki also wanted to return to the Contender and give Endian back the Queen's Treasure, and she couldn't do that while captured by the angels. 

Meanwhile back at the contender, Shizuka was trying to cut her way out of the Leviathan. Though now it was dead, it wasn't easy for her to go out the same way she came even as it's body slowly vanished. It wasn't until she heard Graf's loud declaration that Shizuka redid her efforts, quickly slashing her way out from the Leviathan's body with the help of Endian. Ascalon busted out from the back of the Leviathan, nearly impaling a helpless drone, followed by Shizuka crawling out covered in blood. She wasted no time getting ready to save her sister, rearming herself and getting a quick repair job by one of the repair drones. Dora's enchantment had worn off by now but with the Leviathan dead Shizuka wouldn't need it. Once she was armed Shizuka joined up with Endian. She simply saluted her commander and awaited for deployment.

Soon after the roar of cannons and engines erupted from the contender, and the final battle between the Machina and Angels was on. Shizuka honestly cared less about winning this battle so much as she wanted to save her sister. Hibiki herself had doubts that the Machina could win, but if she could return with Bastion, then perhaps they could at least redeem their lost from the last battle. Hibiki did not move as the nets started to get closer to her, hiding her drone to get ready to use it.
