3rd person POV:

As Yn fights against the Crescent army Dyson stole from Luna, the mask madam herself was stuck with both Valkyrie and Freyja, the ladder of which was still in her hold.

Valkyrie with her shield in blade mode charged forward towards the two. Based on Lunas's calculations, Valkyrie was going to stab Freyja straight through the cockpit.

Luna:!

Dashing to the side in the nick of time, Lunas saved the struggling Freyja from getting impaled and losing Ryuka, but the battle was far from over, as Valkyrie continued her aggression.

Luna: If these two are useful pawns, then why are you trying to get them to kill each other!?

Through Freyja, Dyson answered the mask madam's question.

Dyson:(broadcasting) With the reason for their actions revealed, this is why they are useful.

Dyson:(broadcasting) There is an 89% chance you will not kill them.

Dyson:(broadcasting) And having them get rid of each other will only lessen the number of foes in my way.

Luna:(sarcastically) What impeccable logic...

Lunas tried to fire at Valkyrie with his dusk rifle but with Freyja struggling, it was impossible to land a hit.

And after Freyja almost got the two of them hit by Valkyrie, Luna had enough.

Lowering her Gears temperature and engulfed Lunas in his icy aura, Luna froze Freyja solid, making her task easier on herself.

Luna: Should have done this from the beginning...

She shatters the head off of Freyja and leaves her to drift while she rushed toward Valkyrie who began ignoring her to try and kill Ryuka, but Lunas forced her attention onto him.

Meanwhile, Yn was surrounded by Dyson's Crescent puppets.

Yn: How did you not noticed these guys till they were up in my face!?

Aibella:(coms) They were clocked, okay?

Yn: Not okay! Every time I smash one apart, 5 more takes their place!

Jacklin:(coms) He's on our territory. Which means reinforcements are on their way.

Yn: Ugh! Is one thing after another!

Yn: The eclipse gears, Dyson, now this!

Solas Dawn of Victory, has his wings detach and link up to his arms. Now with burning blades, he commences with his burning assault by cutting through his opponents like a hot knife through butter.

Yn: I can feel my rage growing... My blood boiling over as my very soul burns for this madness to end.

Slicing a Gear in half, Solas kicks the two halves at a group of opponents delaying them enough for him to get close and shove his blades into them.

With two Gears skewered on his blades, Solas holds them out on both sides, using them as Gear shields against the attacking forces.

Yn: Hey, Solas, any chance we can get to see your old man in action?

Yn: It would be really convenient right now!

"Doubt it." Was his response.

Yn: Hmm... Remind me to tell him he's a couch potato that needs to stop shining his katana...

A chibi Solas appears on his screen, writing on a notepad.

Yn:(chuckles)

Aibella:(coms) Focus!

Yn: You wanna fight these guys?! No? Then let me do it my way before I explode!

On the S.S Dawn, Aibella was tracking her Twin's power output which was also a good scale on the pilot's emotional level.

Aibella:(mind) Luna has calmed down compared to before, but Yn is reaching the same levels as last time...

Aibella:(mind) Seems like he's not the type to get over stuff quickly...

(Beep, beep, beep)

Jacklin: What's that?

Juliet: Something is approaching the battlefield at high speeds.

Jacklin: Can you identify it?

Juliet: Yes ma'am! A moment, please.

Juliet: It's....

Juliet:!?

Juliet: It's the Solar Eclipse!!

Jacklin: WHAT!?

Juliet: It's heading straight towards the Lunar Gear!

Aibella: LUNA!

Knocking, Valkyrie to the side Lunas takes out his Dusk blades as he senses the incoming attack which he conveys to Luna with an alarm.

Turning around, Luna had absolutely no time whatsoever to do anything, as Blazar flies straight into Lunas, impaling itself on Lunas's blades.

At the speeds, it was moving at, the Solar Eclipse was easily able to push Lunas towards Earth.

Luna: Tch! Damn it, you're still around!?

Wrapping its limbs around Lunas, Blazar then self-destructed.

(KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM)

Luna: GHAAAA!!

Lunas was sent flying into one of the cities orbiting Earth.

Yn: Luna!

As much as he was concerned about her, Yn's attention was then brought to Valkyrie who was flying towards Freyja with the intent to kill the pilot, Ryuka.

And to his surprise, Freyja was still operational enough to move its rifle slowly towards Valkyrie with the intent to kill its pilot, Cynthia.

Yn:(mind) I gotta stop it!

Solas tried with much might to rush over there, but several of Dyson's puppets were grabbing onto him, pulling him back.

It became clear that he wouldn't make it in time, no matter how hard he tried.

But there was still hope.

With one free arm, there was one thing Solas could do.

Yn:(mind) It's all on this!

Yn: SOLAR GUN, FIRE!!!

Shooting off a Solar gun, Yn put all his hope into it.

Time seemed to freeze to a slow crawl as he watched it travel across the space between him and them like an arm reaching out to stop something bad.

Valkyrie swung back its shield to stab the cockpit of Freyja who was about to fire at the same location on Cynthia's Gear.

Yn:(mind) Come on!

As they were in the middle of their attacks to spell the demise of their pilots, Solas's solar gun hit the head of Valkyrie, going straight through and causing the gear to jolt aside.

Sadly, their attacks were already in the full swing of the motion.

Though Yn may have caused the Gears to miss a direct shot on the cockpit, the two did land a hit somewhat on the side as their final act before deactivating.

Yn:!!!

Yn: D-damnit!

As he felt the bitter taste of defeat at failing to stop them, the Crescent Gears kept attacking and covering them.

Yn:....

Saiko:(broadcasting) You lose again, Direx.

Yn:?

Solas's view was turned to the Crescent warship, wherein the darkness of space, he was able to make out two glowing eyes of a Gear who stood atop it.

Dyson:(broadcasting) Yn Direx... You were quite the unexpected twist in my plans.

Dyson:(broadcasting) However, your days as the wild card are numbered.

Dyson:(broadcasting) This new Gear will take the Solar Gear-

Yn: WILL YOU SHUT UUUUUPPPPP!!?!?

All the Gears around Solas melt away as they are consumed by a brilliant light.

Yn: I'M SO SICK OF YOUR CRAAAAAP!!

Yn: RAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

(Solas theme)

Like a sun Yn shined bright, spreading so much heat all the forces had to retreat back, including the Dawn.

Jacklin: Wh-what going on?!

Aibella:... What you see before you is the true power of the Solar Gear.

Aibella: This is the reason for his name.

Aibella: You see, I locked the full power of my Twins behind a glitch in the Link system.

Jacklin: A glitch?

Aibella: The reason why pilots are trained to be emotionless when piloting is that emotions cause a Gear to freak out.

Aibella: Like an electrical surge through muscles. The more intense the emotion, the greater the glitch.

Aibella: I kept that part of the Link system in as a lock...

Aibella:(smirks) Which Yn has now fully unlocked.

Yn: AAAAHHHHHHH!

Flying through space, melting all that was in his way in seconds, Solas flew high in above the ship Dyson was atop.

Yn: MY SOUL SHINES WITH AN AWESOME POWER!!!

Solas claps his hands and slowly separates them as he forges a blade of flames.

Yn: IT'S BRILLIANT LIGHT DEMANDS JUSTICE!!!

With a flaming blade, Solas flies down towards the ship.

Yn: WITH ALL MY RAGE, I GIVE YOU THIS!

Yn: BURNING SWORD....OVERDRIVE!!!!

The flaming blade from the shining Solar Gear directly lands on top of Dyson's Gear, and slices through it and the entire ship he stood on.

Yn: Go... Goooo! GOOOOOOO!!!

Cutting it perfectly in half, a massive explosion engulfs Solas yet it was still dim in comparison to the light radiating off of Solas.

Yn:(heavily breathing)

(Ending theme)
