(Someone's been a bit too pampered...)
...Technically, I have been told of you by him. But not much... just enough to know that he either has a son or a daughter. He seems like the doting type, so I suspected it was the latter. The rest was a mystery.
Anyways... I have absolutely no evidence that what I claim is true. The most I could tell you is how I know him. But hold on...
Mmmm... Why should I need to prove anything? Dads shouldn't be keeping such information away from their daughters, shouldn't they? I mean, there's no way he's been mentoring someone all this time and said nothing about it. Riiiiight?
THE BATTLE WAS MINE! VICTORY WAS MINE!
Calm yourself, boy, I wasn't finished. Lest you incinerate the location.
It did look competitive... you endured well, and, from an outsider's perspective it may seem like you had just as good a chance at victory as her...
However. There is a crucial flaw. A disadvantage that you can never mitigate.
...?
You failed to mention to me that your nemesis-- the android girl-- is not human. If so, I could have warned you...
GET TO THE POINT!
....Hmmm. She's not like you or I, which have a finite reserve of stamina. As machinery, she would have kept fighting you with the same level of resilience.
A--
--Perhaps I overlooked that.
You did well, and even managed to predict and counter her multiple times.
Rrgh... I was so sure of my strength...! The months that I had trained to pass her... Where they but a waste!?
Absolutely not. The fact that you were able to fight as you were compared to the first encounter you mentioned is proof of your improvement.
All you need is a push in more areas to even out that gap... a few more hoops to leap through, if you will... and your little rival will be as good as crushed.
Fira!
Easy pickings.
Agreed. These beasts aren’t even fit to be used as minions.
This certainly fits Lich doesn't it?
(Hmm…a lock on an ominous door. …I wonder what’s behind it >:))
Oh Tiamat!
One second.
Oh Boneboy?
Lich? Where are youuuu?
...Where is he? Are you positive he’s here?
...
Cut it out Tia-

oh it's you! the guy that called me a danger to space time as we know it? how's that lie gone for you then? so tell me, were you telling the truth or did you and your fancy dice council or what not just want an excuse to shove people in jail and spy on people?
So whats the deal with you guys then huh? you been around since the beginning of everything? what's it like when you spin your head? does it hurt?
whats the health insurance like for the council? what happens when you die?
oh nothing, you should just be careful claiming that you're above death when I'm close by.. you never know who could be listening.
...
...T-Trespassing can get you a couple months in jail, y-you know.
Out. also im telling daddy about how mean you were
I do mean it! O-Out!
Ah crap I knew I forgot something... that also means he didn't get my gift... ah man...
Mmmh. SaGa.
Don't make fun of me, that was on purpose.
...you must know something I don't, because I don't know what purpose you're thinking of.
...I dunno, actually, but this works!
C'mon, get on!!

Hey, hey, I'm joking, cyclops. He gave me this before he left.
I'm not some dumb bozo freak who raids homes for a living. And I find it somewhat offensive being shoo'd away after he's put me through workout hell for so long. Because while you've been getting headpats and hugs, I've been-- I can't even explain it coherently! He's in that giant form, and he sits on me during my push-ups! He rides behind me like I'm a sled dog, and makes me run to no end!
...I may be going on a tangent. I just... I'm the real deal.
Well, I've already got Moto texting the rest of the team about Trio. So far, only Delta, Eta, Epsilon, and Digamma have responded. I've also tried to call Omega, but he hasn't picked up yet.
As soon as I can get the group together, I'm going to send them to find anyone else from TAR to see if they can help us out with Trio. Obviously, anyone else we can get to help us is good, too; The more, the better, after all. ...But the people of TAR will more easily understand why Trio is such a threat, so they'll be more likely to not only help, but also assist in enlisting the help of others.
...Meanwhile, I'll be looking into what this "Balance Conglomerate" Walter mentioned is. If they want to stop Trio, too, then making allies with them should help out in the long run.
But first...
...That girl, Note... The barrier wouldn't've kept her out unless there was something wrong.
...This dark energy... Something is clearly up about it. Even Note herself appears to be unaware of what this energy is...
...No. On top of Trio and those Reaperspawn, I already have too much to worry about...
...I'm going to do research on what this energy is in case it appears along the way... But as for dealing with it directly...
...Things... seem to have calmed down...
(What am I doing...? I've just been sitting here this whole time, waiting for an anomaly to stop when it already has months ago!)
(It's like Missingno. said... If I don't do this NOW, it'll only cause problems later. I HAVE to find him.)
(I have to tell Shadow Digital about the-)
Huh? What was-
...?
Oh, no.
Do not engage; We must confirm if the primary targets are here, first.

* I wanted to do my job as death dealer. This guy with the brown hair who looks more like a MC than YOU*, wanted to stop me from taking a certain you-know-who's life.
Well I don't know what exactly you're talking about, but you were going to more than just hurt someone! And you, the guy in green-
Don't be rude! I mean, for all I know you've probably started this before I came in!
So, are we going to keep crashing the ships, or...
Shush, I'm looking for the steering! If a bird flea thingy can do it, why not me?
...that was a rhetorical, just tell me which way to turn!
...Sonic Man? You, uh...
Sonic, this ain't funny, I dunno what's going on and you're freaking me out.
(whatdowedowhatdowedowhatdowedowhatdowedowhatdowedo)
So, they're here after all. I was almost afraid this would be a waste of our time!
Oh, please, of COURSE this will be a waste of time. Can't you see him cowering in fear? The others are probably even more frightened... What an unsatisfying battle this will be.
Keheh... Speak for yourself. The taste of fear in the air... It's the exact sort of thing I LIVE for.
If you say so... Then, shall we cease stalling?
Shouldn't we wait for the doctor to show himself? I want to drive these fools into FURTHER despair before I take the life from them.
...
You're kidding, right? He's not going to bring himself to do it, at least not anytime soon. Our mission is to destroy the DOS bots and Doppler Labs... Dyna Man especially. THAT should be our priority.
...Heh. Suit yourself.
...Take no prisoners.
GAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!!
GEEZUS WE WERE JUST REASSURING STUFF EARLIER AND ITS ONLY BEEN 5 MINUTES!
SHUT UP! YOUR POINT IS COMPLETELY INVALID!
I DIDN'T ASK MR. ANGER ISSUES!
THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!
HEY, YOU AIN'T LETTING ME TALK, SO IF I CAN'T TALK, THEN YOU'RE JUST BEING EDGY AS-
EEENOOOOOOOOOOOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quin, Blade, I'm so sorry, I dunno what's going on-
Volt, this is my fault, I should have just told you instead of keeping it a-
Sonic Man, it's fine. I dunno what you "hid", but I can already guess it wasn't this big.
And now that it is, I think we can tell what to put our sights on.
Ashura, be ready to help Quin and Bladesmatter. If there are any volatile reactions for us to watch out for, I'll help prevent them.
