Shortly after exiting the portal back to Hell, Mephillia would feel her entire body began to vibrate as she is suddenly turned back to his own self again. The female form he took from Artoria simply vanished, yet he doesn't even remembering being turned into it. Nor does he remember about Artoria. He just remembered fighting Eos with Henrietta and Fran, that was it. Unaware to his knowledge, he would fail to realize that Artoria has been blasted out from existence. He and everyone else who encountered her or had been involved in transforming into a furry had forgotten about her completely.
The Hell Knight simply coughs as he looks at himself again, with his armor, lance, and shield still with him. His rage from being Mephilia has been extinguished and is back to his regular self. He leaves Henrietta, or now back to being Henry, on the ground as he reports back to Lucille about what happened. Only that he won't mention about the dog-girl in any of it.

The Battle For KC-00032 has finally finished. The ruins of the foundry can be seen smoking from the debris, dust, and molten slag lying on the ground. The Machina won against the combined forces of both Heaven and Hell, but even then, the Foundry is in an extremely critical state. Will it be rebuilt and reused by the Machina? No one knows. Perhaps Eos has a plan to do something with it, but only she knows what to do with it for certain. And while everyone has basically left the battle...
There was one being who has just arrived.
Coming from the northern forest, thunderous steps can be heard from a mile away, along with the cracking of trees, the crackling of flaring flames, and the panicked cries of the animals living in the forest. In fact, the flames weren't simply a fiery orange, but it also had flames that were of a light-glowing-blue. It was an unusual form of fire indeed, one that must've come from whatever is trudging through. It all comes the same being that Karizawa's team had detected before evacuating the base. And there's a good reason that they did.
The being was somehow attracted to the battlefield for one reason over another, as if she was rudely awakened from her slumber. Was it the battle that simply disrupted her sleep and caused her to investigate? No. Not quite. There was something else here that many wouldn't notice. As she approaches the exit of the burning forest, her nose twitches as she senses several distinct smells that immediately catch her attention. At first, she smells nothing but the burned bodies of what died here, only to then pick up the smell that belonged to Taura. She growls disgustingly as her tail flails around slowly behind her. She takes a few steps closer, her feet making cracks on the ground, and sniffs again. Then she smells it. That familiar scent. Her growl becomes more guttural as she realizes who it belonged to...
She smells
HERSELF somewhere amidst in the Foundry.
A tall tree falls to the ground as it finally reveals the figure lurking from within the trees. She was a tall figure, with tanned-skin, black ash-like colored hair, and ragged clothes sported with bumps akin to scales, but not quite scales. She also sports several joints of spines down her back, jagged in shape as if they were the peaks of mountains. Their tips were glowing in that same blue color, igniting any of the trees that were unfortunate enough to brush against them. And then came a long reptilian tail, which has three rows of tiny spines and had thick black skin covering it. This being is unlike anything that the Nexus has seen before...
Her head looks up at the scene, revealing two gleaming yellow eyes, as they squint with a purposeful grimace.
Then... came a
terrible sound that ripples throughout the barren battlefield, spreading fear and terror to those still there.
Titanica has risen from her slumber... and her wrath will be felt across the Nexus.
