The calm celadon light wrapped around Signum's battered body, filling it with life again. She was sprawled on the only bed in the hideout, and Shamal was busy healing her. Zafira towered over them, arms folded on his muscular chest. She has rarely seen the wolf-man this angry.
"Du hast es wohl immer noch nicht begriffen. Wenn du uns verloren gehst, ist alles vorbei. Ohne dich beißt uns drei die Wiege in Hälfte und spukt uns wieder raus."[1]
"Zafira hat recht, Signum," Shamal's glowing hands over her chest felt nice. "Du bist unser Anführer. Ohne dich kommen wir nie vorwärts."[2]
"Und du, Agito," Zafira turned to the pile of gloom that was the little Unison Device. "Wieso hast du auf sie nicht aufgepasst? Das ist doch deine Funktion!"[3]
"Ich weiß!" Agito yelled. "Ich weiß das, aber…"[4]
She began to cry. Zafira looked away.
"Du hast recht, Zafira," Signum finally spoke. "Aber Agito konnte nicht dafür. Es war alles meine Schuld. Ich habe Testarossa unterschätzt. Komm her, Agito."[5]
The little fairy flew over to her face and rubbed her cheek, still wet with tears, against hers.
"Testarossa… ist sehr stark. Stärker als ich sie je gesehen habe. Selbst im AMF könnte sie kämpfen…"[6]
"Kannst du sie besiegen?"[7] Zafira asked bluntly. Shamal finished her healing and looked at her with the same question in her eyes.
Signum sat up and thought about it.
"Wenn ich mit Agito zusammen bin, kann ich sie aufhalten, solange es nötig ist. Und wenn die Zeit recht ist, werde ich sie niederschlagen."[8]
"Wirst du es selbst überleben?"[9] Shamal asked quietly.
Signum looked away.
"Es ist irrelevant. Unsere Herrin wird geahndet sein."[10]
[1] "You just don't get it, do you? If we lose you, it's all over. Without you, the Cradle will bite the three of us in half and spit us out."
[2] "Zafira is right, Signum. You are our leader. We will never achieve anything without you."
[3] "And you, Agito. Why didn't you look after her? It's you function, isn't it!"
[4] "I know! I know that, but…"
[5] "You are right, Zafira. But it wasn't Agito's fault. I am the only one to blame. I have underestimated Testarossa. Come here, Agito."
[6] "Testarossa… is very strong. Stronger than I ever saw her. She could fight even in the AMF."
[7] "Can you defeat her?"
[8] "With Agito at my side, I can hold her off for as long as needed. And when the time is right, I will defeat her."
[9] "But will you survive it?"
[10] "It doesn't matter. Our Mistress will be avenged."
