Waverider

The mysterious entity called IKOL asks Emily, who is flying through the universe like a comet in search of her family, if she understands the weight of her responsibility. She returns the question and reminds IKOL of her plan to find her family and return to Earth. IKOL doubts that Emily will ever readjust to Earth.

IKOL believes that others do not want to be free and that controlling them is necessary for the greater good. Emily removes the shadow (an alien entity capable of controlling others from an elf soldier (in Supernova, IKOL was revealed to be controlling the Elf King’s forces and, indeed, the Elf King himself). The soldier feels upset at the loss of his shadow and commands the other shadows to help him take her down. She fights them off and commands the soldier to hide until he has found his courage.

Emily tries to ignore the shadow voice as she looks for her family. She encounters a mustachioed animal who is not infected by a shadow and asks him to pilot the ship to Typhon. Even though the shadows have sabotaged the fuel supply, Emily can use her magic to power the ship.
