What Makes the Sky Blue II: Paradise Lost - Chapter 6: Punishment - Episode 2

Sandalphon shakes off his torpor and awakens the supreme primarch's power within him. He leaves the airship to confront Belial and his hooded companion, but the black beast interrupts their battle.

---

Shortly before the newly appointed supreme primarch found the strength to spread his wings...

The crew were desperately scrabbling for some way to stop Avatar.

Rackam: Argh, there goes the port side! The Grandcypher can't take much more of this!

Eugen: The whole crew's running triage repairs, but it's a miracle she's still in the air at all.

Io: Wh-what do we do? We're going to crash to the bottom of the skies long before we even get a chance to fight that thing.

Rosetta: Let's keep calm, everyone. The worst thing we can do right now is act rashly.

Katalina: Right. The first thing we need is a place to land. From there we can make repairs and plan our next move.

Vyrn: Good idea! I can fly around and help look for a safe spot—

Sandalphon: ...

Lyria: Hm?
Um... Sandalphon? Did you say something?

Sandalphon: ...

Halluel: Get ahold of yourself! I know you're having a hard time right now, but what kind of supreme primarch stands by without lifting a finger at a time like this!

Malluel: If you master the power you've been given, you have the means to turn this all around! I know it isn't easy, but we need you!

Lyria: S-stop! Can you... Can you please go easy on him? He just had to watch someone he loved die...

Sandalphon: ...
I was praying.

Vyrn: Whoa!
I was starting to think he'd never talk!

Lyria: Praying?

Sandalphon: In my own way. For his soul to find peace... wherever it's flown.

Sandalphon's searching gaze rises to the heavens. His eyes narrow, focusing on a single, distant point.

Sandalphon: You filth...

Vyrn: S-Sandalphon!
Where's he going? He had his sword drawn!

Lyria: He's planning to fight alone! We can't let him do it!

Sandalphon: Hrrraaah!

Belial: Rgh! Aggro little beggar, aren't you?

Belial: Hey, Bubs! A little help here!

Belial: Huh?
Where's that old goat gotten to? Did he sink back to the Crimson Horizon or what?

Sandalphon: Don't get lonely. You're about to join him there.

Belial: Hahaha, the avenging angel look is really fetching on you. You're getting me all hot and bothered.

Belial: But your stamina's failing you, isn't it, Sandy? Those brand new powers are riding you hard.

Sandalphon: I can still finish you off before I'm done.

Belial: Oh, I hope you will. I think you'll train up nicely once you're all tired out and feeling more pliable.

Belial: And we should probably take it slow, hm? Your first time ought to be perfect... As supreme primarch, I mean.

Sandalphon: Rrraaah!

Belial: Ahahahaha!

A surge of dark energy lashes between the two, interrupting their duel.

All light is momentarily blotted out, but Sandalphon manages to evade the blast.

Avatar: Grraaaah!

Sandalphon: Curses...
So that's Lucilius's legacy?

Sandalphon: Belial? Where did he disappear to? Was he hit by that dark energy? Or...

Sandalphon: ...

Avatar: Grroooooah!

Sandalphon: You and those two wastes of skin are ghosts of a dead past. The skies have no more use for any of you.

Sandalphon: I promised Lucifer I would bury you and protect the skies.

Sandalphon: I swear by these six wings...

Sandalphon: This farce ends here.
