Recognizing she could still be a threat even in the state she's in, not underestimating her or thinking she doesn't still have a chance to win this you don't rush in recklessly, instead waiting to see how she'll act. Which she notices, giving you a small nod of acknowledgment before tightening up, then springing forward with all the power she's got left. Claws flashing, she lunges at your face, putting everything she's got left into her final attack. But you are ready, catching her wrists in your hands. Keeping her blade-like claws from slashing you to ribbons, halting her in midair. Then, you twist, stepping back with your left foot and dropping down to that knee while throwing her over your shoulder. Swinging Aisha overhead and down, landing on her back in the grass outside the stage. Out of bounds.
The crowd cheers as you rise back up to your feet, Aisha reverting back to her base form as she lays there. You leap down after a moment beside the downed Ctarl-Ctarl.
“Hey, you alright?” you ask her, kneeling down beside her downed form. She stirs after a moment, looking up wearily.
“Wh-Ka-General?” she asks, slowly blinking in confusion. “Wha...?”
“It's over, you fought well.” you tell her, the Ctarl-Ctarl sighing out and closing her eyes. A moment later her daughter Kaliflor lands beside you both, kneeling down and scooping her mother up into her arms.
“Come on momma, let's go.” she says, then turns her attention back to you. “General.”
“Kaliflor. You fought well as well.” you tell her, the woman nodding to you before taking to the air. You watch as she flies back towards her own people, your grandchildren both flying down to you.
“You did it!” Meloka Wolbach cheers, you catching her and her brother as both fly into your chest.
“You win!” Kazuburo shouts excitedly, you chuckling as you hold them both to you.
“Yeah, I did.” you say, smiling as you hold your grandchildren to you. “That was fun.”
The rest of your family who'd been watching join you, all of you leaving the arena behind after Okira, with Imagine Dragon's help restore the stage once more. You all then head to your home, where you say farewell to your eldest-born son and his family.
“Come on, you two. You need to go to bed.” Chilli tells his children, who both are disappointed for a moment. But you all say your farewells, Chilli heading back to his world with his family. Leaving the rest of you to go back to your daily routines.
