It took Penthesilea a long moment, even after the magic had finished coursing through her, to stand again. She waved off the Princess's panicked apology without a word, because her throat was still raw - that it affected her and none of the others meant something was wrong with her, not with Ganymede. Probably.
But she could feel the change in Maia - no longer was there a taint to her aura. No, instead, it was bright and pure and golden, like the markings that she could see on the other Senshi's skin.
Another one of them, then, made untouchable by Chaos. Transcendent.
Her breathing was heavy, even as she did get back to her feet, and she narrowed her eyes at the damned tree at the heart of this. The rest of them were trying to push their energy into the tree. She couldn't do that, but she could do one thing.
She had one more shot of her magic.
"Penthesilea...Warpath!" Her voice was crackling and strained, but her magic was as powerful as she could make it, and she aimed over the heads of the others gathered around the tree and pushing energy into it. Two more flashes of red energy slammed into the tree, and this time it cracked, down the middle.
And Penthesilea hit her knees again, unable to stand. Burning through all three shots of her Super-level magic was taxing, on top of the damage she'd taken from the tree and from Ganymede's magic.
"Can't...do that fancy energy-pass thing y'all can, but I can do that."

As Babylon, Ganymede and Ida joined her she felt hope, not just in that they would destroy the tree, but in there ability to end the war. They may not have had a leader, but they certainly had each other's backs. One bond extended like roots down and branches out to strengthen there side and as long as they had that things would work out.
When Penthesilea called out her attack and it the tree dead on, it split wide open, the chaos darken bark burst into flakes and crumbling into dust around them. Left was a song tree, a sad sight, split in two nearly to the root and silent. It was almost unnatural to Maia. The air seemed to lift quickly the groves eerie thickness dissipating, spreading across the ground, up the surrounding trees and freeing the grove from the chaos that had tainted it.
Maia was exhausted she she pulled her hand away from the tree and turned around looking at her comrades that lay scattered about the ground around them. "Come on," she whispered moving forward toward Acrucis first, the to Antares, touching each and trying to wake them. She stopped at her brother and knelt down putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Please wake up."
They should right? The tree was defeated, the darkness was lifted. She looked to the others, her expression somewhat worried before scan the grove again. "Come on, please."

Time to wake up Athene, don't forget to quote everyone else when he has, so they can wake too
Awakening from the blackness felt sort of like trying to swim through fog.
Fuzzy and heavy and thick and dark.
Athene became aware of little things first - the heaviness of his eye lids - the breath of air against skin.
Next he became aware of the pain, of the throbbing of his head, in fact fact forget his head - his whole body hurt.
Then finally he became aware of the voice - the voice that was asking someone to.. To...
To wake up. Someone was asking someone to wake up.
His lashes fluttered - his eye lids feeling like some one had attached some serious weights to them - but Athene finally managed to get them open in the form of a couple of owlish blinks.

Phact wasn't sure what had caused her eyes to slowly begin to flutter. The darkness she was in was lifting and with it, she felt even her breathing get easier. Like the elephant that had been on her chest was finally moving.
Like Sleeping Beauty, she slowly began to open her eyes and refocus. She was looking out at the bodies along the ground and at those standing. They did not carry the weight of the world on them any longer.
And Maia...
Groaning as she rose to a sitting position, Phact's gloved hand came to her head as she tried to steady herself.
"Did someone get the number off that truck?" She moaned to anyone around.

Everything was fuzzy. He remembered collapsing but after that, Valhalla had been out cold. He finally began to stir, opening his eyes and pushing himself up onto his hands and knees before he was able to sit back and look around.
They'd managed to defeat the chaos controlling Maia? It certainly seemed that way... Not only that but there was something different about Maia... He couldn't sense anything, but she seemed to... glow...?
"Ganymede," he called to her, wanting to make sure she was okay and to let her know that he was as well. "I'm fine. What happened?" And how were the others? Were they okay? "Maia..."
