Xelkitti was the first
to come back to her senses. "But... but why didn't
we know
anything of this... internally? Shouldn't we be able to control
and
focus power?"
Verath shook his head. "What you don't
know, you can't control. And
Xellos
apparently didn't want to
mention any of this to you two."
Xelfan12 was still in a
half-state of shock. "I... but... wait a second,
Verath. How
would... how would you know about all of this in the first
place?
Not
only do you know your own past and who created you, and I have no
idea
how you even did that, but you also know me and Xelkitti's
pasts? That
doesn't
make any sense!"
"Yeah, and
why've you been holding out on us for so long, too?"
Xelkitti
seconded.
Verath's expression looked very dark. "I
can't tell you that just yet."
"Neither can I,"
Saej added.
"I can't tell you either!" Gaaz
stated.
Xelkitti was too tired and overwhelmed this time to punch
them; this
new twist was so bizarre. In fact, it meant that she
and Xelfan12 were both
older than Xellos...
"So, can we
get back to the plans?" Verath asked. "I think you've
got
enough to think about and discuss for now."
Xelfan12
and Xelkitti looked thoughtful for a second, and
then
reluctantly
nodded.
"All right, then,"
Xelfan12 started, getting back to his normal self.
"This
might mean that Xelkitti and I have some hidden powers, and
Verath,
your other components could aid us if we really needed to.
Still, if Dynast
gets that much power from Shabranigdo, it might
not matter at all in the
end."
Verath nodded. "I have
a feeling that in this battle, individual efforts
won't work very
well. We'll have to try some extremely powerful summoning
spells
if Dynast manages to get the power he so desires."
"So
then our weapons won't do anything?" Xelkitti frowned,
remembering
how much she liked her death scissors.
"No,
we're going to have to go with heavy offensive spells,"
Verath
explained.
"If we cast triple spells together, we
might have a chance to win."
Xelfan12 looked over at Gaaz and
Saej, who were mostly quiet this whole
time. "What about
them? Are you going to become whole again soon or
something?
And
why are they so quiet?"
Verath shrugged. "It's not
always set when we become whole again. They're
quiet because
there's not much need for them to talk. They're part of me,
after
all. They're just listening to the plans so they know what to do
when
we become one body again."
"How do we unlock our
general and priest powers?" Xelkitti asked, still
dwelling a
little on the earlier conversation.
"I suppose that's
something you'll have to figure out on your
own,"
Verath
replied.
"Hmmm... this sure doesn't
seem like a very good plan," Xelfan12 put
in. "We don't
have any definite idea what to do, do we? And are there any
more
of those weird lost spells like the one you and your other
components
signed?"
"Yes, those could come into use,"
muttered Verath thoughtfully.
"Especially
if we all cast
them together."
Hi, note to Mike:
Xelkitti said that she wanted to do most of the plans, so
I was
just contemplating some stuff here. Also I don't really know
exactly
where you're going with the plot, so I didn't want to
screw something up.
Note to Xelkitti: You already know this. How
uninteresting.
