Filipino, US and Japanese forces round up the surrendering brigands and take them as Prisoners Of War

"Drop!" A Filipino crew chief said

The Filipino, US and Japanese soldiers rappel down from their helicopters

"Panatilihin ang malapit na mata sa ating perimeter!" A Filipino sargeant yelled

(Translation: Keep a close eye on our perimeter!)

"Get all those who surrender in one place! Check for survivors and help them!" A Japanese Sargeant barked

"Yes Sir, Right away Sir!" The Filipino and Japanese soldiers replied

An American medic runs to an injured militiaman and treats his wounds

"This one is still breathing!" The American medic said

[Colonel, this Velasquez. The enemy forces have been wiped out. No other enemies in the Vicinity, over.] Lt.Col Velasquez radioed

[Outstanding, Velasquez, keep up the good work, out.] Colonel Damaso complemented

"It's over, huh?" Honeylyn said

"Thank You, you saved our city. What Armies are you with?" An Italica resident asked

"The JSDF." A Japanese 3rd Company Private said

"The Philippine Army." Alejandro said

"The US Military." Frost said

Most of the helicopters lift off

Rory gets out of her daze and she sees Itami's hand on her uhh... Melons.

(A/N: Sorry children.)

Rory taps Itami and Itami smiles at her before a loud scream was heard

"Anak ng puta, ano yun?!" Alejandro asked as he touches his ears

(Translation: Son of a whore, what was that?!)

"It's over, those brigands we're wiped out. Yes, we emerged victorious-" Hamilton said

"No, it was the princess of Emroy, Rory Mercury, and the Philippine Army and their allies who won. Not me. And the Philippine Army and their allies are our enemies. Which would continue to occupy the holy hill of Alnus. In intending to save Italica, have i not called for a more fearsome force?" Piña objected

T129B's and the reinforcements having a field day with the brigands flashback

"That Iron pegasus and the powerful magics that wiped out the brigands but in a moment... If they we're turned towards Italica, then both I, and Myui, the countes of Formar, would be quickly turned into prisoners, and one of the Empire's most important agricultural areas would fall into the hands of the enemy. And the people would welcome them with cheers and open arms like a conquering hero." Piña added

"That's not true-" Hamilton was cut off

"Can you be so sure, young Hamilton?" Piña asked
