EXT. SKEL BUILDING RUINS - MOMENTS LATER

Mika starts crying. Gehsa wraps her wings around Mika.

GESHA: Shhhh. There there. I've got you.

MIKA: Why. Why did it have to be her. Why. Why couldn't it be me.

Gesha nuzzles Mika's snout.

GESHA: Don't say that. I know you're hurting, I am too.

MIKA: Is she ok? Like, is she alive?

GESHA: I don't know.

A medic walks over to Gesha.

MEDIC: So, do you know what happened?

GESHA: Not exactly. I did hear some ticking. Probably was a bomb.

MEDIC: At least you guys are ok.

Mika looks at Gesha. Gesha nods.

GESHA: Hey, do you know if she's ok?

Gesha gestures over to Lkaka, who's being pulled up by the other medics.

MEDIC: She's alive, but severely injured. If you need anything else, let me know.

GESHA: Ok thanks.

The medic walks over to help with Lkaka.

GESHA: Want to go over to my place and rest? I think we all need it.

Mika nods.

In the distance, Mika sees Shaza running into the forest.

EXT. SKEL BUILDING RUINS - SAME TIME

Shaza stumbles pack up on his paws.

SHAZA: Shit shit shit. I cant do anything right.

Shaza begins to cry. The CyberSpark, the orb around Shaza's neck, begins to glow.

SHAZA: I had one job. Defuse the bomb. Now I've ruined everything. Now everyone is in danger, because of me.

Shaza runs off into the forest, crying.

The camera pans over to Valerie, who's standing by the ruins of the skel building. Valerie walks into the shadows, her eyes glowing a deep purple.

CUT TO:

INT./EXT.  THE VOID - UNKNOWN

Valerie stands in the void, looking at the ruins of the Skel building in Nerrdon. She zooms in on Shaza and his glowing blue orb, the CyberSpark.

VALERIE: That bastard. How does he keep evading me. That should be impossible.

Valerie freezes for a moment, tears flowing down her face.

VALERIE(while sobbing): It's what must be done. Sash will pay for what she did.
