3rd person POV:
The mask madam sat alone inside her Gear, Lunas on the fortress pluto, which was currently being repaired by Crescent.
Luna:...
Staring at her helmet on the floor of her coldly illuminated cockpit.
Luna: He now has something that changes the tides of battle. With it, everything I've cultivated can be taken away.
Luna: Hmph!
Luna: I thought an army like Crescent, and your power, Lunas, would be enough.
Luna: It should have been enough... Yet here I am...finding myself needing more power.
Luna: How much...
Luna: Just how much power will I have to gain to fix this system and get back at those who wronged me?
Luna: Or is the better question how much power can I handle before I get corrupted?
Luna:...
Grabbing her helmet, Luna masked herself and awakened Lunas.
She proceeded to make a call to her generals.
Luna: Hold the line at Saturn. And be on standby to invade Jupiter. I must go back to Neptune to equip us with more power.
(Opening theme)
After defeating Luna and evening the score, Yn returned to the S.S Dawn with the eclipse gear, Tyranael, and its pilot.
Detaching itself from Solas, Tyranael then docked but the pilot did not come out.
Most of the crew of the S.S Dawn then gathered around it.
Ryuka: Lunar, then Solar, and now an Eclipse Gear. What's next? A planet Gear?
Cynthia: Hmm... You're on to something. Now there are three of them, who knows how many more there are.
Yn:(shrugs)
Aibella: There's minus one more.
Yn: Minus one?
Aibella: This Gear isn't related to either Solas or Lunas.
Aibella: This Gear is just some cheap imitation of them, made by Nexstar industries.
Yn: How do you know that?
Aibella: This Gear is riddled with their stench.
Yn:(mumbles) Figure you'd smell the damn thing...
(Smack)
Yn:... You have frightening good hearing.
Aibella: And proof to back my claim.
Aibella: The material it's made off, is not even half as good as Solas's or Lunas's.
Aibella: Besides, it's using the old Nexstar naming convention.
Aibella:(mind) Those punks! They wanted the model for Solas because of this! But why did they make this an upgrade...? That I don't get.
Yn: Maybe if the pilot came out we could get some answers!?
Everyone:...
Yn: We know you're in there! And I know you can talk!
Yn: If you think we're going to beat you up if you come out, don't worry, we won't.
Aibella:(mumbles) Yet...
???:(speaker) I'm not afraid for my safety. I can easily kill all of you in hand-to-hand combat.
Yn:(opens mouth)-
Cynthia: Don't say "challenge accepted".
Yn:... I wasn't going to say that.
Ryuka: But you were going to say something similar, right?
Yn:...
Yn: They were clearly challenging us!
Cynthia: No, but they did reveal that they can indeed hear us.
Cynthia: So could you explain why you won't exit your Gear? Are you stuck?
???:(speaker) It is unnecessary based on what my mission is.
Ryuka: What's your mission?
???:(speaker) You are not authorized to know.
Ryuka: It seems like we're going to be here a while.
Several hours pass and Yn was inevitably the only one standing in front of Tyranael in wait for the pilot to exit.
Yn:(stare)
Out of boredom, he began having staring contests with the Eclipse Gear.
???:(speaker) What are you doing?
Yn: Staring contest. Aaaaannnndd... I just won.
???:(speaker) What do you mean?
Yn: You blinked, didn't you?
???:(speaker)... You do not know that.
Yn: So you're saying you didn't blink? You're going to have to prove it.
???:(speaker) How?
Yn: Get out here, so I can beat you in a staring contest... Again.
???:.......
(SHHHHHH)
The cockpit opens, not only revealing it to be a normal cockpit unlike what Solas and Lunas have but the pilot itself was revealed.
The young ace pilot couldn't help but analyze the eclipse pilot who exited her cockpit without her helmet, letting her hair loose.
(Eclipse pilot: Saiko Gesshoku)
She was taller than Yn, by a forehead. Her skin-tight pilot suit allowed Yn to see she had quite the muscle-toned body, which was slightly greater than Ryuka's.
And of course, his eyes eventually drifted to her chest. Being male with a natural hard-wired primal desire for a mate, he couldn't help it, but doing so he could safely say, she was no boobie queen.
Saiko walked up and intensely stared into Yn's eyes. It took a moment for Yn to realize they were having a stare.
At that realization, he fully focuses on beating her.
The two stare with such intensity that it looked like they were trying to shoot out their eyeballs like rockets.
As the contest continued in dead silence, it escalated to where the two had their foreheads together.
Minutes go by and with watery eyes, they start pushing against each other with their heads like rival bulls.
Yn:(stare)....
Saiko:(stare)...
Yn/Saiko:(STARE)...
Saiko:(struggling)....(blinks) GHA!
Yn: AH-HAAA!
With his head, he knocks her back against her Gear as rubs his eyes while thrusting his free hand in the air.
Yn: Get.back.in.your.Gear.... LOSER!
Yn:(blinks and chuckles)
Yn: Thought you could beat me? Hah!
Saiko:(gets back in Gear.
(Shunk)
Yn: That's right get back in your Gear and sulk-
Yn:(mind) Wait... We want her out of the Gear so we could...
Yn: Whoa, whoa!! I change my mind! Get back out here!
Saiko:(speaker) But you told me to go back inside the Gear.
Yn: Ugh... At least tell me your name.
(Shhhhh)
The cockpit re-opens.
Saiko: Saiko Gesshoku.
Yn: My name is Yn Direx.
Saiko: I did not ask.
Yn: Sucks to be you because you get to know it!
Saiko:...
Yn:... Want to get some lunch?
Saiko:(pulls out protein bar)
Saiko:(munch)
Yn:... Is this some kind of power move?
Saiko: I demand a rematch.
Yn:!?
Yn: Heh! Why? The outcome will be the same!
Yn: As long as my soul burns hot like fire, I can never lose!
Saiko: If this soul of yours generates heat, then I shall have the advantage.
Yn: That's not... Whatever. If you want a rematch, then come walk with me.
Leaving, Saiko follows after Yn as he goes to the cafeteria. She nibbled on her protein bar along the way.
Yn:(mind) This chick is giving me some strange vibes. It's like the care bot became a cyborg...
Yn: So how long were you planning to stay in your Gear?
Saiko: If left undisturbed, I would have been able to stay in Tyranael for upwards of 6 months without opening the cockpit.
Yn: Six months?!
Yn: What if you need to use the bathroom?
Saiko: There is a system in place for that.
Yn: Gross...
Saiko: I cannot give you details since it involves giving away the construction of Tyranael.
Yn: Lady, I said gross. That means I don't wanna hear about it.
Saiko: Noted. (Nibbles protein bar)
Making their way inside the bridge, Yn shows everyone his success in getting the Eclipse pilot out of her Gear.
Yn: Look what I did. I got Saiko here to get out of her Gear.
Jacklin: Good job, Direx.
The captain approaches, Saiko who had a blank expressionless look on her face.
Jacklin: Saiko, was it? Mind telling me who do you work for if you're going to be on my ship?
Saiko: Nexstar industries.
Aibella: Called it!
Yn: Hm?
Noticing the course of the ship on the holographic map, the young ace pilot saw the Dawn was heading towards Uranus.
Yn: Why aren't we going back to Jupiter?
Ron: Crescent chased us towards Uranus, and now have gathered up their forces around Saturn.
Juliet: With them in the way, we would need to take a long route around to get there.
Juliet: But we already sent a message to Theo giving him a heads up on our situation.
Yn: But why are we heading towards Uranus? It's under Crescent control.
Yn: Wait, are we going to take it back?
Jacklin: No, I doubt we would be enough for that.
Ryuka: We're going to Neptune. Or more specifically, Neso.
Yn: Why?
Cynthia: Supposedly, there is some kind of "proof" to Luna's cause.
Yn: Alright, if anything gets in our way...
He leans on Saiko's shoulder.
Yn: Solas's new eclipse boosted form should be able to handle it, right?
Saiko: Anyone who gets in the way of my mission I have permission to exterminate.
Yn: See?
The crew of the S.S Dawn with their guest continued on their journey with their new destination point of Neso.
