Luminous and Xenon waited until the meeting was ended before going back outside of the base, both had agreed that while the Resistance couldn't fight the Black Wings who were attacking the town, they could. "Do you really think we can handle them all alone Lumi?" Xenon asked nervously as they approached the entrance of the sewer passage. "I think..." but Luminous was cut off by another sudden flash of light and then another explosion, Xenon and Luminous looked warily at one another before hurrying towards the entrance. A large shadow flew over the top of the sewage pipe then another loud explosion happened only feet ahead of where the shadow has been, a small chorus of screams and squeals erupted as a herd of bunnies in Black Wing clothing raced by the tunnel and out of town, Xenon and Luminous peered curiously up to be greeted with surprise, by a large black dragon with shimmering golden horns and markings covering it's body. "Mir!" Both cried out at once as the large dragon half looked back and grinned at them before firing another explosion at oncoming enemies. Luminous and Xenon scrambled out of the tunnel and joined the great dragon in battle, Luminous looked further into the distance ahead of them to see Aran dealing heavy blows to the enemies ahead of them, trying to prevent them from moving forward. "Maha is glowing really brightly today..." Xenon said from behind Luminous, having also taken notice of Aran and his polearm, which was glowing in a brilliant golden light, "Well, I suppose he's all fired up again, Aran has almost all of his power back now, and his memories are all back to." Luminous smiled as he struck a blast of powerful dark magic towards three oncoming commander bunnies.
Xenon also smiled as he went about defeating all the enemies on his side, but stopped suddenly again looking back at Mir with a look of unspoken concern, Luminous caught this and also looked at Mir. "Uh... Mir?" Luminous spoke softly as not to alarm the great dragon, as he craned his neck back towards his two companions with an innocent look of curiosity upon his face. Luminous was about to ask when Xenon beat him to it, "Where's Evan at?" Xenon asked, also looking curious as the dragon turned around again to face more oncoming enemies. "He's in the lower part of town assisting Mercedes with her monsters" the great onyx dragon seemed to beam at the idea of his master fighting alone without him, Xenon laughed heartily at Mir's expression before he lowered his weapon and turned around completely towards Luminous and Mir. "I think that about does it up here, I don't see anymore coming this way", Luminous also lowered his staff and grinned, wiping the sweat from his brow, "I don't either." Luminous looked inquiringly at Mir, who returned his gaze quickly and nodded, "We got here just before the Black Wings struck Edelstein, Aran and Mercedes arrived shortly after us... about the time the first bomb the Black Wings threw blew up" Mir shook his great head in distaste, "What do they want now I wonder?"
"We think they're after Orchid" Luminous said grimly, his dark aura flaring wildly and he clenched his fists, "I don't know why they can't just leave her alone now, she's been through enough..." Luminous gave a spiteful look towards the last Black Wings spy that Aran seemed to be boredly toying with. "You feel bad for her?" Mir inquired looking somewhat offended and surprised, Luminous just gave the dragon a sour look and shook his head. "I know it wasn't really our fault... but Phantom killed her brother, you'd think she was doing all of this for him and not the Black Mage..." Luminous covered his face with his hands and took a deep breath, Xenon gave a look of sympathy to both Mir and Luminous before looking back towards Aran. "I understand why you feel that way Lumi..." Xenon thought, taking one last glance at Luminous, he quietly walked over towards Aran and offered a hand to pull him up from where he was sitting at. "But on top of that, Gelimer... Gelimer is a dangerous man, he used the one thing Orchid would have never raised hand against to break her..." Luminous's thoughts wandered as he looked distantly towards the mountains surrounding the town, "What's to say she wasn't a bad person after all? What defines us anyway, our actions or our reason?" Luminous blankly stood staring at his surroundings, he hadn't realized that Mercedes and Evan had rejoined them, he hadn't realized they had started walking either, he was too lost in thought to realize what was going on around him.
