What Makes the Sky Blue III: 000 - Chapter 9: 000 - Episode 4
When the light from the white plume fades, there are twelve wings sprouting from Sandalphon's back. He deduces that some interaction between Lyria's powers and Etemenanki must have drawn Lucifer's power from the plume. With a new understanding of Lucifer's desire to protect the skies, Sandalphon stands alongside (Captain) to face Lucilius.
The white plume at Lyria's side shines forth a blinding light.
It touches something inside Sandalphon, stirring memories of the paradise that once was.
His heart is filled with a profound sense of peace, alongside the achingly bitter taste of unfulfilled longing.
Sandalphon: ...
Vyrn: Sa... Sandalphon?
Lyria: Colorful wings, pure white wings... Ten, eleven... twelve?
Sandalphon: I'm not sure what happened myself...
Sandalphon: But I think it has something to do with your abilities, Lyria.
Sandalphon: Some interaction between you and this place allowed you to manifest that plume's power in the same way you summon primals.
Lyria: This plume's power?
Sandalphon: Lucifer's power.
Vyrn: (Captain)! Let's get back to Sandalphon!
Lucilius: Sandalphon...
Sandalphon: ...
Lucilius: What a mismatched collection of borrowed plumage. Befitting a spare primarch.
Sandalphon: Say what you will.
Sandalphon: Whether this borrowed finery suits me or no. Be it spattered with mud or blood... I will protect these people.
Lucilius: You sound more like a supreme primarch, but no number of wings will make you my equal.
Sandalphon: After he dealt with the fallen angels, Lucifer continued to protect the skies.
Sandalphon: He chose to do so of his own free will. Do you know why?
Lucilius: Are you going to lecture me on altruism, you narcissistic mass of spare parts?
Sandalphon: No. But you created Lucifer and laid the foundation for all the primal beasts who followed.
Sandalphon: Just once, I wanted you to consider how Lucifer must have felt.
Lucilius: I don't care for that look in your eyes.
Lucilius: One being in creation able to stand as my equal is more than enough.
Lucilius: But he's dead. And the world is about to follow.
Sandalphon: Everyone, this will be our final stand against him.
Sandalphon: ...
Sandalphon: I know how much I'm asking of you when you're already wounded, but please...
Sandalphon: Will you join me—
Before Sandalphon can finish speaking, (Captain) agrees with a warm smile.
Weapon in hand, the captain squares up beside Sandalphon.
Sandalphon: Thank you...
Vyrn: We're with you too! We'll protect the Sky Realm together!
Lyria: We'll give it everything we've got! I want to be useful too!
Sandalphon: Yes... Let's give it our all!
Sandalphon: Lucifer... We will keep these skies blue!
What Makes the Sky Blue III: 000 - Chapter 9: 000 - Episode 4: Scene 2
The battle with Lucilius ends in a one-on-one confrontation between him and Sandalphon. As Sandalphon launches his final attack, Lucifer's spirit seems to join him, and their combined Paradise Lost overwhelms Lucilius's attack, defeating him at last.
Lucilius: ...!
Sandalphon: Pant... Pant...
Checkmate, Lucilius!
Checkmate, Lucilius!
Lucilius: Hunh...
Lucilius: The spare and the singularity... The girl and the dragon unfettered by providence...
Lucilius: There were far too many unpredictable elements in this equation. Failure was almost inevitable.
Sandalphon: Haaahhh...
Lucilius: But you won't take my free will.
Lucilius: Paradise Lost!
Sandalphon: Paradise Lost!
Lucilius: ...!
As light vies against darkness, (Captain) watches the king of the fallen angels fall to his knees.
Twelve mismatched wings, imbued with the strength and hope of six different souls, triumph at last over twelve dark wings untouched by love or camaraderie.
But Etemenanki is almost upon Pandemonium.
