The United Planets soldiers rammed into the nemesis forces with a fierce clash! Bodies flew over the battlefield as the two factions fought to control the divinus.

Sarah stomped across the Nemesis army, but they retaliated with heavy plasma cannon fire, forcing the giantess back as they hit her shoulder.

As she saw the carnage, Daisy fell into a daze from being in the heat of war. Never before had she seen such concentrated death and violence! However, lost in thought, a nemesis soldier hurried to decapitate her, but Everton pushed her out of harm's way. As the soldier attempted to slash him instead, Everton caught his blade, punching him unconscious, and threw his body at his comrades.

"Daisy, have you lost your senses?” Everton vigorously shook Daisy, trying to break her free of her daze. “Forgotten what I taught you about a warrior's focus?"

"I'm sorry, but here's so different from the Colosseum!"

"You have no idea!"

"U-understood! I won't hold anyone back!"

Daisy struggled to get to her feet. But as she stood, plasma fire blasted her shield from her hand. She dashed for her weapon as she saw Nemesis soldiers incoming. As Everton tried to help, a nemesis soldier punched him, knocking him away from her.

Daisy reached for her shield, but the soldiers shot her hand. As she dropped to the ground in pain, they trained their guns to kill her, but before they could pull their triggers, Sarah crushed them with her giant hand!

"I tried to warn you, human. The shield is the weapon of losers! How are you supposed to injure or kill someone with one of those?"

Daisy giggled at Sarah’s remark but stopped as she spotted cannons aiming at her. "Look out!"

The cannons hit Sarah in the face as she turned around to see what was coming! She crashed to the ground, barely conscious, shrinking back down. Daisy ran to her aid, but a nemesis soldier punched her in the face, knocking her down. The soldier attempted to stab her with his tyloblade, but she kicked him in the face as he pounced on her.

Daisy quickly grabbed her shield, and as the soldier lunged to stab her again, landed a throat shot with it! The nemesis soldier fell to the ground as Daisy hit his windpipe, dropping his blade. However, he quickly found a gun lying by the corpse of one of his fallen comrades and unloaded it on Daisy! But she took refuge from the shots behind her shield.

Daisy charged at the soldier from behind her shield, ramming into him and pinning him to the ground. The soldier tried to shoot Daisy with the gun, but she twisted his wrist, making him drop it. However, he tossed her off, and she lost her grip on her shield as she hit the ground. Daisy and the soldier then spotted the gun on the ground. Without any other means of attack or defense, the gun was the key to victory in their duel. They both dived for it, but the soldier grabbed it first. But as he aimed it at Daisy, she punched him, making him drop it.

Hastily, she grabbed the gun, and before the soldier could do anything, she fired it, killing him!

"I-I did it!” Daisy slowly realized the consequences of her actions as the words left her mouth. “My god, I just killed someone!"

Daisy gazed at the soldier as he lay dead, and the reality hit her like a brick. A look of horror slowly covered her face, and she dropped the gun. Daisy forced down vomit as the world around her became a fuzzy mess. She staggered through the battlefield until she bumped into another Nemesis soldier. The soldier prepared to kill with his sword. But as he was about to impale her, Everton knocked him unconscious with Daisy's shield!

"Everton, I killed someone! What have I done?"

"You went somewhere the kind and loving should never go, a killing field. You poor confused child, please forgive me for not keeping you away from here!"

Elsewhere, Gancelot slashed through hordes of nemesis soldiers. Telekinetically directed by his hands, giant glowing cards mowed through them like spinning saw blades across the battlefield! But he soon scanned around and saw his army crumbling, releasing a sigh of pain and frustration. The United Planets soldiers dropped like flies, and their dead bodies started to clutter the ground.

Gancelot activated his communicator, pressing a button on his wrist."United Planets, I am playing our trump card!"

As Gancelot gave his order, intense fear washed across the remaining United Planets soldiers. The soldiers quickly abandoned their advance, retreating as fast as possible away from the vice-commander. The healthy ran like the wind. Others carried their injured comrades at a desperate pace.

As his forces were far enough away, Gancelot raised his hand, and his cards swiftly flew toward him, circling his body. He struck the ground with them, cutting across the land in a circular motion, carving out a great circle, and a titanic shockwave washed across the battlefield! All the nemesis soldiers caught in the card's destructive path got swatted away like bugs. As he finished the circle, the colossal shockwave grew bigger and bigger, swallowing the battlefield and sending most of the enemy force flying in a monstrous dust devil!

Daisy and Everton were about to get caught in the strike, but Sarah grasped them with her giant hand! She clutched onto the ground, fighting against the herculean strength of the winds. As she struggled, disbelief covered Daisy's face as she looked upwards, seeing legions of mighty nemesis soldiers in the sky, falling helplessly to certain death!

Gancelot collapsed from his Herculean efforts. "Attack with all we have left!"

The United Planets soldiers took Gancelot's orders to heart. And they charged the remaining enemies with savage determination. However, as they gained momentum, a fleet of nemesis ships appeared overhead, reinforcing the enemy!

"Oh, no," Gancelot said, filling with despair.

The Nemesis ships rained plasma bolts on the United Planets soldiers, and as their infantry landed on the battlefield, they retreated again! Daisy, Everton, and Sarah looked on in horror from the onslaught. But Daisy noticed one of the bolts heading toward them!

"Sarah, dodge!"

Sarah spotted the attack and ran away. It missed her, but the shockwaves from its impact sent them all flying. And Daisy, Everton, and Sarah landed on the ground, barely conscious.

Daisy struggled back to her feet, but the ground started to shake. Swiftly, a massive crack formed from the plasma blast revealed a sewer system leading to the nemesis fortress.

"Everton, I think there's still a chance for us to win this! But I need you and Sarah's help!"

"Are you sure you can handle more of this carnage?"

With a moment of thought, Daisy nodded yes with a face of determination. Again, she believed she was ready. But Daisy may have been truthful with herself this time. She was already free of a bit of her naivety, spending a short time on the battlefield. Still, the young woman held her beliefs in the sacredness of life, but now Daisy was pragmatic. Now, she knew running away from the killings would only prolong the defilement. Now, she understood the sacrifices she had to make in the present for the bright future she wanted.
