Grendyne groans and starts pulling on her boots when the alarm goes off. Again. She quick-marches to the broom hangar, sits on her machine and is handed a plethora of loaded weapons by attentive corporals.
"Two flyers in one day? They're getting way too common."
"It's worse," the commander informs them, "South Karlsland got hit with three at once. We're taking Lytee's express and sleeping there. You can sit out if you absolutely need to, but Freya's still recovering so we could use you as a comms relay."
"No, I'll come. I just reserve the right to complain about it."
The 42nd United Forces Witch Wing takes off, bracing to fight yet another city-destroying monster, and assembles into a perfect synchronized formation as Lytee charges her teleport power.

And when Lina's services are available plenty of people want to make use of them. Being a half-vampire is more appealing to some people than turning altogether - including some people who are already vampires.

It turns out that being a half vampire makes Strike Witches more powerful - slightly stronger than their best as a human. They no longer lose power as they age, either. And other teleporters turn out to be able to cross worlds as well. There is no more danger of losing access to the other world.

A few months later, the Neuroi have been pushed back to the giant hurricane floating over Ostmark. Large sections of the recovered land are uninhabitable, but it's celebrated none the less.

...The hurricane does not disappear.
At least it stopped producing new Neuroi for about a week. The UDF refrains from asking for a bigger nuke. Instead it sets up a huge network of defense perimiters and hunkers down into research and development of ways-to-kill-this-thing.
