No one's gonna help you kid.
Howdy ladies and gentlemen. Consider me surprised but not in a bad way you all are h-
Woah!
How did you end up here? Poor thing's probably cold.
...Huh. It seems like some of you know me, even though I've never seen any of you before... well, it doesn't matter. Cuz we're here to hel--
Oh, sorry. I gotta take this. You guys... carry on. I'll be with ya in a moment. He says this, then moves aside accept the call.
Helloooo?
M-mr. Arpeg is bad??
Obviously. He threatened to hurt you at gunpoint. Anyone who threatens to hurt babies is likely some sort of bad.
But he's also prepared. Clearly, he somehow already knows about both of their abilities. While that does make sense for Soul, who gets into constant street fights... Opera hardly ever engages in any types of incidents.
Opera told me... she says she doesn't like fighting like Soul does.
Yes. So... it's pretty concerning how this fellow neither you, I, or they have met somehow knows something about her only we should.
Chances are, Arpeggione here may pull it off. But he's only really after Princess. So it makes no difference to me whether or not they succeed in kiddnapping her.
That's mean! You said you would be nice to Soul!
I'm pretty sure if she were here, she'd spout something like "Worry about yourself! I don't need anyone else's help but my own!" Or something like that.
...
...Hmmm...
Uh.... okay. I'll just... do that.
Hi.
I don't care if you look like my brother! i won't let you hurt anyone again!
stab him! while he's stuck!
MY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Toobaalkuh...
Greetings, miss Note.
You see, our current objective is to find a place known as "Crossroads City" to see if we can find anyone who knows about the Star Scepter.
Our ultimate goal is to use the Scepter to stop Trio; Whatever your issue happens to be, it'll have to wait until AFTER.
...And whatever your selfish issue is, we'll be getting to that... Hmmm, never.
As it stands, our only, and I mean ONLY concern is with Trio. If ANY of you have any OTHER issues that you feel are more important than him trying to destroy EVERYTHING, then you may feel free to LEAVE and handle it on your own. We have NO TIME for being sidetracked for ANY reasons.
(You know, you two could afford to be at least a little bit nicer about this.)
(We're just saying it as it is; We already have ENOUGH on our plates as-is between Trio and whoever the hell's trying to hunt us down.)
Alright, enough idling about; Let's get a move on!
Let's see... Where is it...?
Ah, here we go!
Oh, yeah. Just kinda figured I'd do a spin on an old classic; If I'm gonna fight Trio, why not?
...Also, I'm wearing this helmet for tactical reasons. Remember the LAST time I've fought Trio's subordinates?
I chose a stronger material for the helmet this time around.
Heh. You say that like I'd give him the CHANCE.
Seriously? Right when my profile got taken, you won't even touch that situation with ten-foot pole? That's cold.
Hm...
Oh-ho man!
Hmmst...
Alright, now with you only having 6 minutes 6 seconds and 6 milliseconds of training, we should be able to harness the light shard...
*grunts* Well... alright...
You good? You're acting a bit gloomy (again)...
Well it's just...
Why do I even need these powers? I mean, I've got some demonic energy that I can use on him, and that's bound to destroy him r-
I-I don't think that's a good idea...
What?
L-look I-I don't know exactly, but don't you think it's kind of a bad idea?
What the hell are you talking about? Of course it's a somewhat good idea! If we get rid of him, then that'll benefit us right?
Look it's just we shouldn't KILL him, just... I don't know why, we need to-
Hold on a minute...
Are you working with him or something???
What?! No! Soren, please, just let me expla-
I get it now... you just want me to lose to him and let him gain control of both shards, and maybe even take control of my body to take over the world or universe or whatever stupid plan he has...
SOREN! CALM DOWN! THAT'S NOT WHAT'S GOING ON!
I won't calm down...
IF YOU THINK HIM LIVING IS A GOOD THING!!!
Hahhh! Hngh! Haah!
...I should have trounced her. I WOULD have trounced her! Showed that arrogant jackal how inferior she is to me!
I will never be satisfied until I crush both that body and spirit... only then will I cease my fullest potential.
Wrong, child. Such furious tactics will never grant you victory.
!!?
I made it clear that I would be on my own until I claim what is mine... why did you follow me, Salsa?
...
...Your extraordinary resolve had me curious... so I wished to observe it from a distance.
...Stalker. I need no form of monitoring when I have my pride to tell all details.
Do not be so resentful, boy. I have learned much from your skirmish. And I believed it would do you well to be privy to important details...
...And just what wisdom do you claim is worth sharing? As if I will need such.
Hmmm.... you won't take kindly to this, but I suppose it would be beneficial to reveal the biggest "bombshell" first.
That would be...?
That woman you called "Soooooooouuuuuulll!!!" If your battle had went the distance, you would have been defeated.
!?
YOU LIIIIIIEE!
(I had forseen this answer).
I,.,,,,
Atually it was pwetty pfunny i thought
B-But um!
How dare you question me, mortal.
This form is of Walter Oliver’s lineage. Had you bothered to make use of your light receptors, mortal, it would have been unquestionably obvious
And who in the heck are thou??????? I don’t buy that “disciple” stuff cuz if u rlly were Father’s pupil yer woulda known, yarhar.
HEEAAAAAAH
...as much as this is exactly what I'd think a conquest would look like, there's still something jarring about it.
Terumi, stay with Yuugen unless you wanna get flung off. Actually, stay with her anyway, I don't want that.
Wait what-
...are you doing?!
What's it look like? I heard what they said about taking the route straight to them, and if the short route's open, I ain't thinking twice about it.
...can Mr. Mack bounce that far?
Like heck he can. There isn't even a direct path to the center.
I heard that. Thought about it, too!
