Synopsis
Still at the standoff, Osyraa pulls the trigger of the laser gun. Although, the bullet hits Ruby instead as she positioned herself in front of Shiny before Osyraa shot. The XI, who were waiting idly by, rush and apprehend Osyraa. And in the rush of the moment, Shiny hops in the open capsule that Ruby has been preparing for launch and lifts off. Shiny and the ruined, half-disabled Ruby are free.
