"Yes, Omega-Xis, you have discovered my secret," I say, watching the entire scene, "I took Geo's body and made myself king. I gave myself the same powers that you and Geo had together. I am…Aquarius Dynasty."
"Aquarius," a voice says.
"Cygnus," I say without turning, "What brings you here, to FM?"
"Taurus has failed," Cygnus says, "and I beg permission to take out Omega-Xis."
"I have Crown on Earth already," I say, "and he's already preparing her for the town of 'Garden Wake'. Unfortunately, Cygnus, I have not found a human who has the same EM waves as you yet."
"Yes, your majesty," Cygnus says.
After I assure myself I'm alone, I continue watching.
The human known as Whitney sits near Layla, although her eyes are on Omega-Xis.
"So you mean that we're a new generation of bodies for the FM-ians?" Whitney asks.
"Yes," Omega-Xis says, "but Aquarius took Geo's body, meaning he's more powerful then we are."
"We?" Layla says.
"Yeah," Omega-Xis says, "Whitney's good prey for Lyra, since Sonia's gone."
Whitney's eyes dart from left to right, as though expecting Lyra to simply enter her body.
"And what do you mean by more powerful?" Layla asks.
"Geo's a veteran at Wave Battling," Omega-Xis says, "and he has Battle Cards, most of them for offensive attacks instead of caging, like the V-Cards."
"So that means we need to find some Battle Cards?" Layla asks.
"Easier said than done," Whitney says, "They're rare now, and they're illegal to own, since we have to enslave viruses. You can find some in the black market, but then you'll get in trouble."
"Then we'll get some and hide them!" Omega-Xis says, "If they try to arrest 'MegaGirl' for using them, then we'll just point out that the FM-ians can break out of the cages that V-Cards make."
"Like Taurus," Layla says, "and who knows if even normal viruses can break out of them?"
"I've used V-Cards on viruses," Whitney points out, "and they never broke out."
"Guess I'll have to find Lyra," Omega-Xis says with a sigh, "hopefully she won't be too mad."
"I'll go with you," Layla says.
"Nope," Omega-Xis says, "Lyra would get mad if I went with a new partner, and add that to the news I'll be giving her. I'll tell her about you when I find her, but it's best if you don't come."

Aquarius is one of the quirkier characters I've had, and he's played a big part in the story, even before Layla's story begins.
