After delivering the girls from the search squad back to Major Fortress #606, Axel felt something was wrong.
Without much hesitation, he rode the aircraft once more and flew back to where Fenrir was.
But just as he arrived, he saw a black dome appear out of nowhere, devouring literally everything ahead.
"Whoa?!"
Even Axel almost got caught up in the wide-range dome of darkness!
With quick reflexes, he pulled the stick, rising vertically to avoid a direct collision... but the event itself still made him uneasy.
'No way... did something happen to Fenrir?!' Such thoughts circled in his chaotic mind.
To confirm, he called forth Gleipnir, which appeared without trouble, connecting him with Fenrir through the long ethereal golden chain. Chains that, despite being physical objects, could also pass through obstacles like the aircraft walls without damaging them.
The chains pointed straight down, which reassured Axel.
At least Fenrir was still there.
