Tycoon's defeat was signaled by its entire machine body collapsing. Pieces of it fell to the ground, followed by its metal legs buckling and the whole chassis crumpling before crumbling. The arena shook, and Pit stayed his bow. It was over, right? With the way the place was quaking, Pit wouldn't have been surprised if there was yet another phase to fight through. That ended up not being the case, and the shaking died down soon enough - and the machine god's body had dissolved, leaving its shimmery spirit behind.

[color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"We did it!"[/color] he whooped, jumping and throwing his fist up in a quick cheer. Never mind the last few days, just [i]today[/i] had been crazy. But the boss was done for, and the whole city hadn't collapsed on top of them. It was a win for sure.

Though Pit had been playing the role of a hero for basically his entire life, helping defeat a Guardian now felt like a big step forward for him. He was elated, but when he turned to the other Seekers he quickly found that the mood wasn't exactly one of celebration. Many of his allies expressed concerns over the fate of Midgar's power supply - if Tycoon really was powering the entire place. [i]Oh, guess I never thought of that,[/i] the angel realized. He reigned in his enthusiasm over the victory, but even the uncertainty of the city's future couldn't put a real damper on it.

Goldlewis then brought up something that had been pushed to the back of Pit's mind what with all the fighting they'd had to go through. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"Oh yeah! The Ever Crisis!"[/color] To be honest he also didn't know what Tycoon had to do with it. If it was a giant power source, then maybe... [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"Maybe whatever was sending the Chimeras and Others here were after the Guardian, like Nox was? Now that it's gone, they might stop!"[/color]

It was his best guess. Sandalphon confirmed that Nox's faction, the machines, were no longer a threat at least. Pit bounded over to her, peeking around her tall frame to look at the screens she conjured while the rest of the Seekers fiddled with the spirits (or... books?) of the fallen. A lot of the rest of what the archangel said went over his head, but he understood what a blackout was. He grimaced. Technically, taking out the Guardian was the best thing for the people in the long run. He just hadn't known what kind of collateral damage it would cause. Hopefully the situation wouldn't end up as bad as some of them were expecting.

What's done was done, and whatever would happen would happen - that's the way Pit saw it. He was, usually, a helpful ally for humanity at large on behalf of the Goddess of Light, but it was never hands on. Organizing rebuilding, strategizing for an evacuation, all of that was beyond his capabilities. He could lead a platoon of Centurions, sure, but sympathetic as felt for the people of Midgar he had no desire to stay and coordinate their future. So when Karin volunteered to do just that, Pit was surprised and impressed. After the Seekers arrived back in Arahabaki amid Roland's book explanations and further talk of what the city's inhabitants would do, the girl geared up for a speech. 

It was the consensus of the Seekers that evacuation was the best bet. He hoped everything would go as smoothly as possible. With that determined look in Karin's eye, Pit had no doubt that she'd follow through on the words she delivered. Sakura and Susie were going to be staying to help out too it seemed, and though Pit couldn't imagine giving up the greater mission he did admire them for wanting to help the people. 

[color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"That was awesome,"[/color] he told the Kanzuki heiress when she was finished. Was awesome even the right word? The point was, it was a good speech. While the girls staying behind gathered to get started on their new mission, Pit waved goodbye to them. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"Good luck you guys! We'll meet again soon!"[/color]

Which left the rest of them to carry on. As Geralt pointed out, there was still a lot to do for the good of the world at large. On the topic of where to go next, Pit piped up with another suggestion for the pile.

[color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"We need to check on Princess Peach too!"[/color] he reminded the rest of them. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"Now that the Guardian's defeated, we can help look for a way to turn her back to normal."[/color]

Or if they couldn't, at least a way to stabilize her during the imminent black out. All of the victims turned into Others would have to change back before they could safely leave with the rest of the citizens, he guessed.
