Misa is then locked in a cell along with other kidnapped children by Randle and Brad, who are using them to blackmail families that oppose them. Gajurdo is outraged by his son's reckless actions, but their mansion is then attacked by Yuna. Randle recognizes her and realizes that Brad didn't completely cover his tracks. Yuna's bears fight Gajurdo's men while Yuna fights Brad one on one. Although Brad proves to be a strong fighter, he is eventually beaten. Randle then tries to force Yuna to surrender by threatening Misa, but fails when Yuna pummels him by surprise. Ellalaura arrives and has Gajurdo, Randle, and Brad arrested for their crimes and orders the guards to search the house for evidence of their guilt and rescue the other captured children. With that, Gajurdo gets the death penalty, while Randle is stripped of all his titles and banished, putting the Salbard family out of power. The group then head back to the castle, where everyone is grateful for Yuna's heroics. Afterwards, Misa's father becomes the new feudal lord ruling all of Sheelia after Gran retires. Yuna and her friends then return to Crimonia. The end credits then reveal the fate of all the characters that Yuna befriended, followed by Yuna and Fina returning to the Bear House. | |||||
