The group communicated with the star vessel, and after a couple of hours, they were picked up by them. Usually, it would take only several minutes for that to happen, but the area was filled with the debris of the chaos that followed the battle. Everyone on the vessel saw the terrain and saw the planets colliding, so they were quite curious to hear what had happened. Thousands of people assembled around the meeting hall to hear from Rain and the others.
"We are glad that you are safe, still, it doesn't look like you are happy for succeeding on the mission," Esmeralda said. "What exactly happened?"
Rain gave everyone a detailed summary of what had happened. At the same time, while they were waiting for the vessel, they secured some parts of the enemies that they fought to prove that they weren't saying nonsense, and as one would expect, everyone's reactions to that had been quite of absolute shock.
