"Hey! Wolf!"
I turn to see Aries coming.
"Yeah?" I say.
"You know the hunt for Omega-Xis, right?" Aries asks.
I nod.
My own experience hadn't been as long or as painful as the others. Like Crown and Cancer, I hadn't bothered to really "hunt" for Omega-Xis.
However, as humans wither and die, I lost my host years after Andromeda was stopped.
"Then I have the perfect human for you," Aries says, "and he's quite close to Crown Lily...I mean, Delilah."
"Call her Lily for all I care," I spit, "The infernal twit is not related to Crown at all, in my opinion. Trying to take down Aquarius- and succeeding- has put a bad taste in my mouth."
"Well, anyway," Aries says, "I can confer with Cygnus and try to get Crown's human...replaced. Until then, I have the human to help you keep an eye on her."
"Who is it?" I say.
"First of all," Aries says, "I hope you don't mind a gardener as your host."
"I don't care," I say, "I had a gardener as my first host, too. It doesn't really matter."
Aries nods and says, "Then Eric Roswell will do. He's Crown Lily's gardener. I'll change his EM waves to match yours..."
"And then I'll take him," I finish, "but are you sure? Trusting me with that human? What about you?"
Aries laughs and says, "Oh, I know my plan. You see, my original plan included me taking Crown alone, but seeing as Libra told me to stay put...I can't disobey orders from someone who has 'Wisdom' in his name."
"Or is it that you trust Libra more than you trust Cygnus?" I say.
"Yeah," Aries admits, "Cygnus refuses to take me seriously, and we both know that Aquarius wouldn't let us destroy Omega-Xis...not with that past."
"So I heard," I say, "It was true? Omega-Xis being Aquarius' apprentice and all?"
"Yeah," Aries says, "That's probably the reason why Aquarius doesn't like the Andromeda Key. Since Omega-Xis is an AM-ian, Aquarius wouldn't use a weapon that destroyed the Planet AM...our sister planet."
"Hmph," I grunt, "Remember, Gemini was the one responsible. He told the old FM King..."
"Lied to, rather," Aries says, "but the point is, we either get Aquarius or get the Key, and I'd like both."
"I get what you mean," I say, "and if Cygnus was out of the way, and Crown didn't have Delilah..."
"Then we can live in peace for once," Aries says, "but that seems impossible with Cygnus' obssession with Omega-Xis and the Key. We can't contact Cancer to help, we both know Crown, so you're the only one left."
"Unless you count Taurus," I say, "He's tired of fighting, so I've heard."
"And the other FM-ians who haven't gone up against Omega-Xis," Aries says, "and I know quite a few who'll have the same agenda as ourselves. For now, our little group has three: Libra, you, and I. I plan to get Gemini involved, since that human of his refuses to destroy her sister or anyone who's related to her sister...including Mega."
"By all means, get Gemini involved," I say, "and why don't you ask MegaGirl yourself? That would ensure victory."
"Ask MegaGirl for help?" Aries says, then pauses.
I take this time to ponder.
Aries and I met a few days ago, FM-ian time, and discussed a few things. We mainly discussed about how we needed peace, and to do that, we needed to band together. I contacted Libra and we soon had our group.
"Actually," Aries says, "we don't know how long Libra will take...and since we have a human for you already..."
I sigh and say, "Whatever it takes."
"Thanks," Aries says, "and your voluntary spirit won't be forgotten, Wolf, in the new world."
