Ikaruga will be playing double agent. She's been planning on protecting Hope for a while and even went as far as killing Rydia (with Rydia's consent) in order to get access to the Null weapons. She will be hanging back rather than attacking, and will step in once Henry and Saber are killed to help protect Hope from Delight.

Once her true intentions are revealed, she'll be right in the midst of the Null attack around Hope's temple and they'll likely not be pleased with her treachery. I would love for her to team up with some people during all of this! She'll probably be focusing the bulk of her efforts on defending Hope just because his survival is essential to everyone else's survival, so the only times she might be seen elsewhere would be if she's getting food. She can help people while needed.

I don't intend to have her killed, but she's going to be exhausted and sore by the end of this, and may have some injuries depending on how things go.
