That was it? There was no attack. Just seeds of doubt being planted. But with how peppy and chipper the loudest of his teammates were, he strongly doubted Giovanni's warning would be heeded. He couldn't see any of them growing to suspect the people who had shown them hospitality. Perhaps Maple...

"Leave now!" Bahamut looked at Maple.

"And it would be far worse if he tailed us back to Destiny Village," Bahamut growled. "Just go."

"He could lob as many of those capture devices at me as he wants. It won't make a difference." Bahamut's eyes and core reddened. "If the devices work how I remember... you cannot capture someone if they've already been caught by one of those balls."

"It's certainly possible," Bahamut replied. "We got shadows and radiance by being exposed to Diyem and Maple. Eternatus' corruption could work similarly."

"You shouldn't be holding her." Bahamut managed to bite back the urge to say something more forceful. "There could be lingering corruption. It's not safe to handle her directly. Leave her to someone with levitation." He pointed to Maple, then looked at her. "Is the disruptive aura gone? If so...

“She’s still corrupted.” Bahamut’s frown deepened. “Another larva could manifest.”

"... fine." It was not fine.

"It is." Bahamut's core and eyes were still dim. They were going to stick around. What were they thinking? At this rate, they were going to be too exhausted for Maple to easily collect. He'd have to... channel more energy. Somehow. Maybe. ... but in the back of his head he was praying he'd get...

"That's why you should have run while you could," Bahamut said. His voice was... uneven. One could even say it sounded broken. "The energy behind that explosion... something's off about it." Of course, in the back of his mind there was a thought. "If the eternatus larva faints... the...

Every opponent they'd fought prior had corruptive energy, which dissipated when they fainted. This was different. Sword had a parasite sticking out of her. For all the attacking, there was still a lack of killer instinct. These people truly thought Sword would be okay with some sort of Eternatus...

Bahamut was so tired of all of this. All around him, his teammates were expending energy trying to get through to something that had been taken by a parasite, rather than just trying to take both out and be done with it. He, in turn, had spent up almost all his energy trying to keep them...

"That form... it's just like Eternatus. She must be infused with its corruptive energy!" Bahamut was still by Saltriv, so he glared at them with every ounce of raw malice he could muster, before turning the glare on the people who had dared to talk him down about the matter: Luz and Pleo...

"Ignorant child!" Bahamut stomped a foreleg down in front of Saltriv. "If she's destabilizing, then there's the possibility she could explode from her radiance. Healing her only makes that more likely. Are you trying to get us killed?"

This would’ve all been easier if Bahamut’s teammates just did as he did and ignored Darkwhite.

"Man, Cibus' version of a piñata needs work." Esper jutted out his lower lip. "If only candy would burst out of that overgrown fearow if we hit it hard enough," Bahamut deadpanned. "Perhaps then this wouldn't be a total bore."

"That's the ho-ho?" Esper scrunched his face up in discontent. "That doesn't look like a delicious snack pastry at all!" Bahamut's eyes and core shifted red. "Perhaps if we bound it and roasted it over hellfire it would make for a decent meal." Esper turned upside-down and floated in front of...
