Yugeto raised an eyebrow. "Looks like we aren't flying for anything except kinetic cores, Jules." Staring back distantly at the direction the group had emerged from, Yugeto's mind drifted to the memories of the men who had helped him and how they had been torn to shreds or comatose. Their sacrifices wouldn't be in vain...to fail to continue Hector's legacy would be a disgrace to the things he had done for Yugeto. "We should head back to Sovereign. The entire wall is composed almost entirely of kinetic cores, isn't that right, Zachary? We can salvage some from there after putting an end to this military threat." Blake chuckled dryly at Yugeto's naive comment. "Clearly, you and Kisheto have more than enough power to deal with a large force; with Arianna's new boost and the rest of us helping, we may have a chance. Unfortunately, another massive scale battle is bound to be broadcasted, and we'll be labeled as criminals across Aeros; I don't care who you are, the entire military force of the world is going to pose a serious threat. Lets analyze this situation carefully and see where else we can retrieve kinetic cores in the area; worst case scenario, Yugeto pumps spirit into me as I redirect the energy into the shuttle. This is only a short-term solution to get us to the next area with cores, as I'm guessing Yugeto isn't willing to give up so much spirit." [i][b]'Good thinking. With an augmented Spirit, we won't be tameable. We're inches away from our goal, Blake. Keep working at this pace and you'll see your goals realized.'[/b][/i] Blake felt a cryptic desire stirring within him. Who or what was Dama before the Void Gate opened? His mannerisms and profound connection to Blake's spirit pointed to an era long forgotten even in the Kagesm timeframe. This ancient kage older than his own core both perplexed and assuaged Blake, and yet he could not imagine life without his brilliant guide.
