"..Let's go." Erinye said, standing up.

----
Back at the Absalon.
The ship was repaired for the most part with the holes patched up and replaced with newer walls as the Royal Guard were standing outside. Hercule was leaning against the ship, Izanami leaned her back against a tree with her arms folded and Dietz was sitting on a rock with his hands placed on his cheeks.
Through a open panel on the ship, Emoj was putting some finishing adjustments to the cabels as a girl with short yellow hair reaching her neck, blue eyes, freckles, wearing a short sleeved white shirt with shorts and sandals walked, likely Tetyba the Omnipotent of Vehicles.
"Gosh, uncle, this spaceship is cooler lookin' than most ships that we fixed and a lot more bigger too. Plus, I found this magazine on the floor in the hallway." Tetyba claimed who was missing a tooth and had a southern accent as she held up a magazine with the cover of a beautiful Neonyte lady wearing a bikini.
Dietz quickly snatched that magazine out of her hand.
"My shit, don't touch it." Dietz said, pocketing the magazine.

"Jeez, Dietz. You had that on you and you didn't share?" Diana asked, grinning at him.
Bacchus was sitting on a rock with his arms folded, both of his eyes were closed.
Meanwhile, Theseus was just standing there.

Hercule turned his head to Theseus.
"...You alright man?" Hercule asked.

"...I hope Erinye's okay." Theseus said, instead of answering the question traditionally. "It sounds like she saw a lot go down."
"We've all seen a lot go down, she can handle it." Bacchus said, not opening his eyes.

"It's a good thing Nephthys was with her and din't get butchered by that maniac, Gin and even if he din't finish him, Balthazar prevented the pirates from hurting the girls." Hercule said.
"Despite how powerful Balthazar may be, it's clear it wasn't enough to take him down. That Cupid is not gonna stop till one of us cuts his head off or deliver a good stab into his heart. Atleast Pollux wasn't screwing with us about who was coming to the Sphinx, I guess." Izanami said.
"So? Even a broken clock is right twice a day. He is just using us to get rid of his bosses, he could be using his 'belief' to have things play out in his favor, he is not out of the woods just yet, till we see him take a bullet for either one of us, he and his bro are not pals as far as I see them." Dietz muttered.

"Well, he said that he can't do anything if we don't believe him." Diana paused, with her finger to her chin, "..But, if we choose not to believe that, then.. ugh, these belief powers are always so confusing. For all we know his power really is to control whether people believe him or not!"

"If his wish is simply to retcon his brother's involvement in what happened in the hotel and make it so that they never joined the pirates, we might aswell give him what he wants as long as he proves to be a ally against them." Hercule said.
"Well the thing about that is, if the wish is to get those two out of the space pirate's history, then there is a chance that instead of them being on Plague, someone like Lynne or Cupid would show up instead and easily get the orb instead of us and could radically alter history's course by looking at the butterfly effect, but I doubt Pollux even cares as long as he and his brother are safe and sound." Dietz said.

"Oh, yeah. I didn't even consider that" Diana blinked. "That'd be really bad."
"All in all, trusting them is a mistake." Bacchus frowned, "But it's not like any of us really were trusting them at all, is it? Everything I've heard about these two stinks of something shady."

"If those two are planning something, we'll deal with them like everyone else. We have a big list of enemies and we need to short it out soon." Izanami said.
Both Nephthys and Erinye eventually arrived back at the crash site.
"Hey, welcome back, good to see that you two are okay, atleast." Hercule smiled.
"...We're sorry about what happened, I should of been more careful." Nephthys said, looking at the ground.
"Well, it's not like you could of taken on a army of space ships, right? You are not a fire breathing dragon like Cyndass is so the odds were stacked against you two before the showdown even took place." Dietz pointed out.

"If there's one thing Cupid is good at, it would be stacking the odds against his opponents." Theseus said. "That's how he was back then too."
Erinye, silently, nodded.
"Hm? Are you okay, dear?" Theseus asked.
Erinye nodded again. "I'll.. I'll be fine."

Nephthys looked to Erinye in response.
Emoj closed the ship's panel.
"Alright, I'm done." Emoj said.
"So, is the ship fixed now? Can we be able to lift it off the ground?" Hercule asked, turning to the Omnipotent of Mechanism.
"Yeah, yeah, this baby should be good to run now. The walls are a lot more sturdier along with the forcefields, the weapons were fixed and thanks to your queen adding a little bonus to our bank account, I added a few new additions like a a giant ass machine gun that shot multiple laser beams that you can activate so you should be able to blast every fucker to hell, since that's what you guys called us for." Emoj said, wiping some oil off his hands.

"Sounds good. Thank you, for your hard work." Theseus turned to Emoj, nodding.

Emoj just gave him a thumbs up as he walked off towards a large truck and got in the driver seat.
"Shake a leg, Betty." Emoj called out.
Tetyba turned to the Neonytes and waved at them with a grin before she got in the truck and drove off, the rocket boosters activated and the truck left the surface and flew into the sky.
Hercule watched them leave before he turned to everyone else.
"Well, it's getting late so let's head into the ship and say goodbye to Gryphon. Next stop, Uraeus." Hercule said.
Dietz pressed a button on his transceiver and opened the Absalon's door, allowing everyone to get inside.

Diana headed in immediately, shortly followed by Theseus and Erinye.
Bacchus stood up, giving a final cursory glance to his surroundings before he entered the ship as well, scythe in hand.
