“Humph.” Bahamut finally stirred. “If you ask me, that mewtwo sacrificed its soul for power. And that is what it has become. Pure, raw power. A literal force of nature. It only exists to further itself by any means necessary.”

"And yet he remains so determined, even despite the fact that he can never be certain his convictions are his own." The shade's eyes glimmered. "Breathtaking."

"Barely batting an eye." The shade giggled between wheezes. "I take it having your memories manipulated is just another day at the office?"

"Perhaps in another reality, Owen is a poker player," the shade mused.

"Such dedication! Such conviction! I love that you truly believe you're in the right." The shade's eyes sparkled with alternating ripples of yellow and white. "You seek to throw black and white upon a gray canvas. Eternatus loves such unwavering beliefs and the furor that they drive. "But there...

"Quarreling over such ideals is pointless. The mortal coil is defied by Eternatus." The shade's beak controted into a grin. "All those who accept His love are blessed with eternity. Though the fact that the quarrel ended up happening anyway is still beautiful. A clash of different hopes that...

Bahamut's tail thwacked the ground. "... apologies. I forgot to turn my bullshit detector off." He rolled over to face the doorway and made a sound akin to snoring.

Yawning, Bahamut lay down on his side, likely causing some folks to have to scatter. "Right. Wake me when the circus leaves town."

“Fool. If all the healers and shield-casters stay, you lot will be wiped clean within a matter of minutes,” Bahamut countered. “Everyone’s assuming what Maple’s inner dimension will look like. The fact is that none of you will know until you’re there. It’s pointless to worry about the unknown.”

“It’s far too late to be voicing reservations about this,” Bahamut scoffed. “The stress of the last fight has worn you down. You need to go rest.” He scanned the room. “That goes for the majority of you, frankly.”

“As I said, he desires an impossible reality,” Bahamut growled. “Such aspirations would undoubtedly fail if allowed to proceed.”

“... tch.” Bahamut eyed Diyem. “You’ll want a healer and shield caster. And someone who has millennia of experience fighting eternatus.”

“... I quit.”

"If you expect a straight answer to those, Owen, I have a wonderful townhouse I'd like to sell you on a planet with no oxygen," Bahamut deadpanned. "Get to the plan. And I swear if it's something stupid like trying to trap her inside your hellspace, I will lock you in a room with this idiot,"...

"The only being I know that can absorb entire planets is mindless, so I do not have a proper answer for that," Bahamut responded. "But I imagine the fact that she literally took in the planet rather than carrying some sort of device on her person factored in." He paused. "Not that it matters...

“The eternatus she swallowed likely took care of that,” Bahamut growled at Nate. “No one aside from Diyem could sense its aura. It neutralized everything inside Maple.”

"Inevitability? Please." Bahamut snorted. "I don't care what sort of cosmic factors are at play. Nothing is truly inevitable. Otherwise, there would be no point to any of this, because this planet would inevitably be destroyed by something." Purple and red expanded in his eyes. "There's the...

Bahamut scoffed. "In other words, this is all a goddamn freak accident." A loud squelch and the shade had once again freed itself. "Not at all. Did you not hear him? The two lesser eternatus drawn together. It was a gesture of love crossing the omniverse." Yellow and orange ripples spread...

"Because he was one of the souls Maple swallowed up with the entirety of Telum," Bahamut said. "The same could be said of the others out of place. Sword, Shield, Red. I don't know why they were freed, but they're here." He flicked an upper wing dismissively. Anyone who looked at him could tell...

Bahamut was sorely tempted to point out the hypocrisy behind Vix focusing squarely on Soda when Maple was in an arguably worse situation — one that didn't sound like she had any control in the matter — but people like Dave had already made up their minds on the matter and chosen to sit on the...
