Bahamut was eyeing the pile of dust with a frown. "Uh, I'm not exactly an expert on metaphysics or whatever you call these godly powers, but I'm not sure that's a good sign." He pointed at it with his tail. "That's Mewtwo's body, isn't it? Or... it was."

"If it does, then good riddance," Bahamut scoffed.

"Yes, yes, pats on the back and all that jazz." Bahamut looked skyward. "He can be extracted in this state, correct?" He looked at the parasite. "And what about this blasted thing?"

If it didn't work, Bahamut figured he could try pumping the guy full of light. Though he was loathe to resort to such a tactic.

"What if we gave him an Ultra Stone?" Bahamut wondered. The description Diyem gave sounded eerily similar to what seemed to happen with Sword in the aftermath of all the Worldcore nonsense. "He might be able to resonate with it. Even if temporarily."

Bahamut simply drifted a bit to his left, cutting off any view between Mewtwo and the parasite. "Is this the part where he get him out for actual medical attention?" He flicked a wing again, forming more Morning Sun energy to trickle down over the two of them. And Owen, too, as a precaution.

"Like a rattata in a poaching trap." Bahamut glanced skyward, not even fazed by how dreary it was compared to Cibus'. "Hey, can you hear us out there? Owen fished out the parasite. But how do we safely extract it from your insides? Unless you're willing to digest it or something." Maybe his...

Bahamut nodded. "Go for it. Something's fighting within, but the hex has it caged in."

Bahamut kept a stoic look on his face. He mentally probed around to see if he could execute a dive like he did with Owen. "We know you're in there. It's time you became your own person and not just some tool. Don't become me... don't become someone with nothing but power and emptiness. You will...

Bahamut was concentrating. He wasn't saying anything, but was firmly focused on Mewtwo. Though to onlookers it would appear more like he was looking past the guy. "I know you're in there. I sensed you last time," he projected. "You never truly had a chance to experience life for yourself...

Bahamut wrapped his tail against the air like a whip. "Perhaps now that you've grown bored of trying to act the part of a living weapon in a place that couldn't care less about that, you'll consider hearing us out?" Then he shoved Owen forward with his tail.

"I would expect to improvise." Bahamut curled and uncurled his wings.

Bahamut rubbed his forehead with a wing, groaning. "This is developing more layers than an onion patch."

“I’m not so sure it’s a wise idea to go in attacks blazing,” Bahamut said. “What if we harm Dark Matter from the inside with radiance?”

Bahamut nodded. "Well, whenever you feel ready to tackle that endeavor just, uh, send me a message or something." He glanced around. "I'm not exactly busy."

"Yeah. I s'pose the first step to addressing that problem is freeing Eien." Bahamut's jaw clicked. "Perhaps in interacting with Mewtwo I might be able to get a glimpse of what it did to hex her in the first place. Her mental space had these distorted chains digging into her persona. It was quite...

"Not being bound to one dimension probably helped her case," Bahamut said. "I always assumed other dimensions existed, but that traveling to them was impossible. That reality would collapse upon itself if it happened." He finally lifted his head and looked around. "Evidently, that's not the...

Bahamut sighed. "That's because we're dimensional counterparts. Both of us travelled to other planets to help them in times of crisis only to be chased away by people who feared our powers. And we both wed spouses bearing terrible curses. But Eternatus never stopped helping planets... and she...

"No." Bahamut hadn't moved from resting against his tail throughout all this. "Eternatus in my universe is more of... a seemingly-unstoppable force of nature. It has no thoughts or will of its own. If Mewtwo's mind is corrupted, there'll probably be a lot of shadows and a stormy vortex."

"I cannot say for certain," Bahamut replied. "We needed to delve into Owen's mind to remove the hex that was there."
