"The earth will shine with the light of its Lord, the record of deeds will be laid open, the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward—and judgnt will be passed on all with fairness. None will be wronged.
Every soul will be paid in full for its deeds, for Allah knows best what they have done.
Those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in successive groups. When they arrive there, its gates will be opened and its keepers will ask them: "Did ssengers not co to you from among yourselves, reciting to you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the coming of this Day of yours?" The disbelievers will cry, "Yes indeed! But the decree of tornt has co to pass against the disbelievers."
It will be said to them, "Enter the gates of Hell, to stay there forever." What an evil ho for the arrogant!
And those who were mindful of their Lord will be led to Paradise in successive groups. When they arrive at its already open gates, its keepers will say, "Peace be upon you! You have done well, so co in, to stay forever." Az-Zumar 39:69-73

As soon as his praise for his Sheriff is over there is "turbulence" from outside the aircraft. The entire flying vehicle shakes and the sounds of gears grinding and finally breaking can be heard.
The pilot, unsure of his situation isn’t panicking.
Shenron 2: "What the-?
Control this is Shenron 2!
Sothing-"
Cutting him off, static communications ruin any incoming audio from HQ.
The alarms inside the cockpit begin to go off and a red flashing light adds no help to the situation.
Shenron 2: "What the Hell is going on!"
[Otis Air Base, Massachusetts]
In the previous control room as before, there are red flashing lights on the control panel. Both the man and woman air traffic controllers are trying to get back in touch with their flying ally.
While the woman, Control 1, tries to figure out and fix the connection, the man, Control 2, is frantically talking into his headset to get any answer through the static.
Control 2: "Shenron 2 this is Control 2, co in!.... Shenron 2!
This is Control 2!
Please respond!"
With only the whining and cracking of electronic noises coming through his headphones, the man bangs his fist on the table, then looks at his colleague in the room.
Control 2: "What the Hell?! Is he in so type of electromagnetic storm or sothing?"
The woman sitting a few yards away shakes her head and looks over with a scared look.
Control 1: "No. Our teorologist said nothing of the sort, and what is weirdest of all, it’s only our communication with him that is being interfered with.
All GPS and status signals are being recovered and sent back to us."
The man sweats while listening.
Control 2: "So what does that an exactly?!
You’re the one with true air traffic expert before this damn apocalypse."
The woman shakes her head in uncertainty.
Control 1: "I--I--I don’t really know what is going on.
For that to be possible, soone would have to destroy the communications system, without damaging the black box of the aircraft."
Surprising both the man and the woman, the door slams open, and Sheriff Jesse Jas is standing in the doorway before she takes her rapid steps inside.
Jesse Jas: "Status!"
Both Controllers sit up straight and the female of the two answers.
Control 1: "We’ve lost communications with Shenron 2, Mada Sheriff! His black box is still active but we can’t get through to him.
It’s almost like soone tore it out while he was flying!"
Control 2: "What should we do Mada Sheriff? Should we send in a search and rescue for him?"
Standing between the the sitting air traffic controllers, Jesse Jas looks at the screen with the map. A red dot slowly moves over the land mass marked Kami Island.
Jesse Jas looks around and grabs a small microphone ear piece, placing it comfortably in her right audio sensor.
She looks at her two allies manning the stations before leaving the room in a hurry.
Jesse Jas: "Keep an eye on the situation, I’ll go see what’s going on."
But before she can leave, the woman, Control 1, releases a small scream, making the Sheriff spin around.
Jesse Jas: "What happened?!"
Noticing the red dot on longer on the map, Jesse Jas tightens her fist, and runs out the room. Slamming the door behind her.
...
Unknown to him, outside the military aircraft, holding not only having stopped the propellers of an actively flying helicopter with their brute strength, and now carrying it while flying themselves, MaMmon and MamMon DæMon are the culprits to the pilot’s dismay.
MaMmon DæMon: "Ototototototo!
He’s freaking out!
What should we do with him sister?!"
MamMon DæMon: "Otototototo!
Let us grace him with an appropriate landing zone.
Sowhere that will both ruin Skalmönd and that damned Yang Vessel’s morale."
MaMmon DæMon: "Oh sister, I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, you always have the greatest of plans."
MamMon DæMon: "I couldn’t co up with them if it weren’t for you, my true dearest sister."
Both flying witches, each carrying one side of the almost 12,000lb(5.1kg), stalled out flying war machine over their ho island.
[Inner Sanpaku, Captains Room]
The light sounds of breathing are coming from Friend, Xaaydagaay, and Saku as they are fast asleep.
Friend’s head lays on the orca girl’s tail, while Xaaydagaay uses her new canine playmate as a pillow.
Saku is in a deep sleep in his own bed. No covers on him, laying on his back, sprawled out, a snot bubble grows and shrinks from his nose. It pops and he turns over to his side.
In the bed across from him, Katsu is wide awake. His hands behind his head while looking up at the ceiling. His usually smiling and happy face is now a scowl.
Katsu(thinking): *Even if the war doesn’t officially start for another few hours, they are going to activate Shelly’s SeiõrSense in 3...2...1...*
On queue, he too feels the presence of two strong beings with massive amounts of Seiõr close by.
He looks over at Saku who must feel the sa sense but in his sleep. His body shivers, but all he does is throw the blankets on himself.
The doorknob to the connecting rooms turns very slowly and carefully. Not getting passed the ears of the dog, Friend’s head lifts up from his sleep.
Shelly’s adorable but worried face pops through and Friend puts his head back down knowing he is friendly with the door opener.
Shelly(whispers): "Katsu!
Are you up?"
Katsu gets up from his bed and tip toes in his socks all the way across the rugged floor.
He gets to the door and opens it, startling Shelly.
Katsu(whispers): "Yea. Did you feel that-?"
His adopted sister nods and Katsu notices shes already dressed in her clothes with everything except her shoes.
Katsu(whispers): "Shelly, did you get dressed before-?"
Noticing she’s been caught, Shelly confesses.
Shelly(whispers): "After you asked if I wanted to go practice with you in the morning, I-I figures it would save a lot of ti if I just, ya know, got dressed before going to bed.
I was really excited."
Katsu smiles at her cuteness, bashfulness while admitting her excitent to play baseball with him so more. He rembers what the reason for them both being up, and it’s not baseball.
Katsu(whispers): "Shelly, did you also feel those two large presences of Seiõr nearby?
It felt like they were flying about us."
Also getting back to her serious deanor, Shelly nods and looks up at the ceiling.
Shelly(whispers): "It was definitely MamMon DæMon.
I know because it’s from what I felt at the baseball field, but..."
Katsu(whispers): "But it was two sources of Seiõr. Two sources that felt the exact sa.
You don’t think it was another one of Laban’s sisters, do you?"
Knowing all well what the situation is, Katsu allows Shelly to figure a solution out on her own with her incredible intelligence and deducing skills.
Katsu(thinking): *Co on, figure it out Shelly!
Just say the word and we can go!*
Shelly(whispers): "Katsu, should...should we go investigate?
I an, it’s dangerous if one DæMon is prowling around Sanpaku, nevermind two."
Katsu’s outer self gives of a cheerful smile, but his inner self has a sick twist grin.
Katsu(whispers): "Get your shoes on, I’ll be ready in 5 minutes."
