MIleena leaves with the demon

Outside, where the battle is still going on

Jade: I WON'T LET YOU THROUGH

Baraka punches her in the gut and then puts one of his bone blades through her body

Jade: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Baraka screams at her like a wild beast, when a shockwave is sent through the entire battlefield, as he retracts his blades and looks at Jade with fear

Baraka: What have I done

Tanya: W-what's going on

Tanya, who barely has the strength to stand on her feet thanks to the continuous blood loss

Some of the cursed ones start screaming, after regaining control over their bodies, in the horror of what they've done

Scarlet: looks like they've broken free of their control

Li Mei: Does this mean the demon is dead

Scarlet: Oh, you're still alive

Li Mei: f-for now

Everybody gets quiet as they see Thalzor leave the palace

Byleth: he's still alive

Thalzor: The fight is over

Li Mei: I-is the empress

Thalzor: She's alive; a deal has been made

Jade: What kind of deal

Everybody then sees Mileena arrive and stops next to Thalzor

Tanya: Mileena?

Mileena: Listen up, I have an announcement

Mileena explains the deal she has made with the demon queen

Tanya: N-no, you can't

Baraka: So we must come too, we have no choice in the matter

Thalzor: No, you have a choice. I will not force any of you besides Mileena to come with me

Baraka: You're taking him, he's the only thing that will halt the curse for us. Without him, we'll slowly turn feral, just like we were before

Mileena: If you're not killed before that happens

Thalzor: You will have a place in my queen's empire

Baraka: as slaves

Thalzor: No, the ritual to transform you all into a new demon race will be completed, which means the curse will not turn you into mindless animals, and once that is done, you will be accepted by all the demons

Baraka: I highly doubt that

Thalzor: Everybody has a place in the demon queen's empire as long as you do your part. We don't care what you look like, at least there you will never have to hide again

Baraka: So our choice is joining the demon queen, or slowly turning into mindless beasts, not much of a choice

Mileena: I'm sorry

Baraka: You said you were gonna collect your dead demon friend right

Thalzor: Yes, I will collect my brother's body as well as that of all the demonic beasts; they deserve a proper funeral

Baraka: I want one for all of the cursed ones that fell too

Thalzor: That was already my plan. Even if they were not yet complete demons, they carry the queen's blood, which makes them and you my kin

Baraka: I accept your invitation, but I can't speak for the others. If they want to stay here then I'll expect you to honor their wish

Thalzor: I will

Mileena: Again, I'm sorry for this Baraka

Baraka: It is what it is, at least this way our suffering might finally stop

Tanya stumbles forward

Mileena: Tanya

Tanya: Please, take me with you too

Thalzor: And who are you

Tanya: I am Tanya, personal bodyguard of Princess Mileena

Mileena: And my lover

Thalzor: I see, you're very loyal and care for Mileena

Tanya: I do

Thalzor: You can come, but you will have to put yourself under a blood oath with the demon queen, that or Mileena will infect you with the curse

Tanya: Thank you

Mileena: Tanya, think about what you're asking; you're gonna throw your life here away

Tanya: What life? I didn't start to really live until I met you

Thalzor: A portal will open in an hour at the main gate of the city, that's how we'll leave. We have until then to find the dead

Baraka tries to get some fallen cursed one from under a building but he can't lift it

Thalzor: Let me help you

Thalzor lifts the building, and Baraka retrieves the bodies

Baraka: I don't trust you, but I trust Mileena

Thalzor: You would be a fool to trust me, but I will earn it. What I made you do was dishonorable, but I had a mission to complete, sometimes we have to do things we hate

Later, as they move the first bodies to the ruined city gate, Baraka sees Reiko's corpse

Baraka: Reiko!

Thalzor: he was one of yours

Baraka: Yes, he wanted to stop Shao so bad

Thalzor: And he succeeded

Thalzor looks at Shao's body when suddenly Shao grabs Thalzor's leg with the little strength he has left in his body

Thalzor: Or not

Baraka: he's still alive

A bone sword shoots out of Baraka's arm

Baraka: I'm gonna finish what Reiko started

Thalzor grabs the blade before he can put it into Shao

Thalzor: Don't kill him

Baraka: Don't tell me you want him to come with us

Thalzor: No, I don't trust traitors like him, but death would be a release

Baraka: I want him to suffer

Thalzor: And what do you think will happen when Sindel finds out he's still alive? She will take revenge on him, he will suffer

Baraka: What if he gets away

Thalzor: he doesn't have enough strength to talk, he won't get away, but to be sure

Thalzor knocks Shao out

Baraka: It's better than nothing

Thalzor: Now, if you'll excuse me, there is one more body I need to collect

Thalzor makes his way to where you fought Reaper and finds his body, which still has the spear in it

Thalzor: So that is how you were beaten, your core got destroyed by your own spear. I will miss you brother, but now that you'll always be with me, now come let's go home

Thalzor places Reaper's head on its dead body and it picks it all up as he heads back to the city gate

Mileena: So is that everyone

Baraka: It looks like it, everybody agreed to come with you to the demon queen's empire

Tanya: How did you all get the flying beasts here

Baraka: We didn't, he did

Thalzor drags the last demonic beast to the gate, this one is the three-headed one that belongs to Reaper

Thalzor: Is this everyone

Mileena: Yes, we're ready

Thalzor: The portal will soon open

Thalzor picks up Reaper's body again

Mileena: You're gonna carry him

Thalzor: I was his superior, this is what I need to do. It must be me who carries him home

The orb appears and opens a portal to the demon kingdom

Thalzor: Are you ready

Mileena looks back towards the palace, where she sees her mother looking at her with a sad look in her eyes

Mileena: No, but this is what I have to do

Thalzor: Then let us go

Mileena: How about the beasts? Do you have to drag them through too, one by one

Thalzor: You don't have to worry about that

Black tenderels come out of the portal grabbing the dead demonic beasts and dragging them through

Tanya: What is that

Thalzor: You'll find out soon enough. Let's go

They all enter the portal
