"Hmph." I grunt as I stand near Cygnus.

I am Aries, one of the many FM-ians who haven't fought against Omega-Xis the first time he stole the Andromeda Key.

"Cygnus," I say, "why would they be so foolish as not to wait for assistance? Simply because their opponents arrived?"

"I would say that, Aries," Cygnus says calmly, "Remember, these two are still novices in their own power."

"Hmph," I grunt again, adding, "Novices in power, like the two 'heroes'. Aquarius has had time to practice, so I heard."

"MegaGirl is not as new as you think," Cygnus says, with a sidelong glance, "she disposed of Taurus Inferno easily, as you may recall. I, however, think that it is because Taurus has not had her long."

I fall silent and gaze into the large globe.

MegaGirl looks around warily as Ophiuca Avenger charges towards Lyra Melody.

Crown Lily, however, hangs back, forcing Aquarius to walk over.

"She's onto us, m'lord," I spit, "MegaGirl. She expects someone to go to their rescue, and the others don't know a thing."

"Gemini will refuse to attack her," Cygnus says, "Thalia is...a little possessive about her 'sister'. Gemini insisted that he keep her, though."

"It's not the girl I want," I snort, "it's the boy, the male clone of the sibling. He's got potential, despite his mere untouched humanity."

"I understand, Aries," Cygnus says, "but the choice is his, after all. He must be finished rebuilding himself before we try anything."

"I know, m'lord," I say, "but MegaGirl will soon realize that she is cornered by us all."

"I agree with you on that, Aries," Cygnus says.

I look at the large globe.

MegaGirl seemed to have gotten herself together, charging towards Crown Lily, firing her "MegaBuster".

Ophiuca is getting a head start on Lyra Melody, bashing Lyra into the wall as she screams, "Die! Die! Die!"

Crown Lily seems to have things under control, deflecting Aquarius' attacks and keeping him at bay while dodging MegaGirl's attacks.

"Show me my potential humans," I say.

The view splits into three, and Cygnus turns to leave.

"Where are you going, m'lord Cygnus?" I ask.

"I am going to see if I can do anything in the Taurus situation," Cygnus says, "Taurus is still weak from his fight with MegaGirl, with his powers being absorbed and all."

"All right, Cygnus," I say, keeping my eyes on the globe, "Just wondering."

I hear Cygnus leave and focus my attention on the humans.

The first view is, of course, the sibling. "Project MCL", or as Aquarius called him, "Michael", sleeps peacefully. His hair, once wires, is now partly organic. In a few days, he would be ready.

The second view is a young girl named Petra Carter. She was already taken over by Taurus, but I know that I can use her to my advantage.

The final view is Michelle Woods, a mother of one child and a stillborn. She has connections with MegaGirl somehow, and if everything else didn't work, I would forcibly take Mrs. Woods over.

Mrs. Woods is cooking while looking out a window and sighing.

My, my, worried? Must be about the daughter she has. What was her name again? Layla? I'm sure that a mother has nothing more to do than cook and clean...but that's what makes my plan so brilliant.
