A/N: An idea I had for a fic after seeing the conclusion of the Blue Drop Anime. As I found the ending to be disappointing, I wished to create a new "ending." How often I update this fic depends on the interest surrounding it. I hope everyone enjoys my take on the events immediately following those of the anime.
Disclaimer: I don't own Blue Drop; if I did, I would have avoided sacrificing Ekaril.

Angel's Salvation
Prologue
"It would seem that I am forced to make that choice once again," thought a man sitting in the command chair on the bridge of an Arume ship. Smoke filled the room, while fires began running through the room. Sparks flew as wires swung back and forth from the ceiling.
"I suppose one might call this fate, fate that I would have to make this choice on this ship. We're both ghosts. We left this world before, only to be pulled back into it. Such is the irony of my life," thought the man. His eyes were set on the screen before him. Displayed was a large Arume ship, firing its full weapons upon the ship the man was in. The screen continued to flicker as the ship was pushed and shoved the shots fired upon it.
"Warning! Warning! The shield systems are failing. The weapons systems are no longer functioning. Damage to the main reactor is approaching critical," spoke the voice of the computer.
"Then we don't have any time to waste now, do we? Push all remaining power into engines, take the power from shields; we won't need them where we are going," spoke the man.
"Complying. All power diverted to the main engines," replied the computer.
"Thank you, my dear. It's a shame we couldn't have known each other longer. Our final course is set. Let's give them the best chance we can afford. Maximum velocity!" shouted the man.
An explosion shook the bridge of the ship as the ceiling was torn apart. Debris fell to the floor, adding to the extensive wreckage already strewn across the bridge.
"Perhaps this wasn't such a wise idea after all, but it's too late to turn back now," spoke the man.
"Closing distance between target," spoke the computer.
The ship was sudden rocked violently, forcing the man to fall forward onto the console before him.
"Warning, damage to engines critical. Losing velocity," spoke the computer.
"Use the thruster to keep us up, overload them if you have to. They won't need to work for too long," replied the man.
"Increasing power the thrusters. Course stabilized. Contact with target in thirty seconds," spoke the computer.
"Thirty seconds, huh? Not too much time to reflect on my life, is it?" spoke the man. He sighed to himself as the target grew larger on his screen. The man looked up through the hole in the ceiling, casting a final gaze at the sky.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Ekaril, it seems I'll have to destroy your ship again. The resistance, you guys all fought so hard. I can only hope you can continue on without us. And Tenshi, it is to you who I must apologize the most. After you did so much to give this life back to me, I must throw it away again," spoke the man.
"Contact in ten… nine… eight…" spoke the computer.
"Forgive me, Tenshi, it seems my destiny is to fill another role…" spoke the man.
"Three… two… one…" spoke the computer.
On the ground below, a group of individuals departed a shuttle, and cast a gaze into the sky. They saw the two ships make their final approaches towards one another. One ship attempting to turn, while the other heading straight for it.
"No… he wouldn't…" spoke an Arume.
"He would. I could see it in his eyes. They held the same determination as me when I had to make that choice," replied an Arume with long, flowing back hair.
"Ekaril…" muttered the first woman.
The sky filled with a bright light as the two ships collided. The force of the explosion threatened to knock those below off of their feet.
"Zegael!!" shouted the first Arume, as the two ships disappeared in a flash.
A/N: Just a short preview of things to come. Everything will become clear as I progress in writing this fic. Thank you for reading, and please remember to review.
