"[color=36454f]Just three,[/color]" Zodiark said through his wincing. "[color=36454f]Don't turn around.[/color]"

When he uttered those words before she would even know what hit her, a sword of darkness pierced through Shion's stomach, spraying crimson liquid out from her torso and onto Michel-possessed Zodiark. The sword itself appeared out of nowhere. However, in a matter of three seconds, it would appear as though it wasn't. A form that blended with the light started to step out as if through a portal of some kind. First, its leg came out, clad in red armor and soon, after about a minute of it slowly coming through and pulling the sword from Shion's stomach. 

Given that Shion would look behind her, she would see a face that was all too familiar. "You're off your game, Blue Rose," the deep, aged voice said.

Zodiark smiled, finally free from Shion's clutches. Taking a moment to collect himself, Zodiark knelt down to Shion so he was at eye level with her. "[color=36454f]I do hope you understand what just happened. Though, perhaps you should ask my loyal subject.[/color]"

Their face was now revealed and they stepped into the light. 

"[color=36454f]Isn't that right, Hamut?[/color]"

Hamut whipped his sword free of Shion's blood and simply watched her with curious eyes.

"[color=fff79a]I cannot explain this, but..it's true, Emiri. My new powers granted me several things. The ability to see through Keiran's charade. The likely bonus that, on some level, I know what he is planning is also something I [i]might[/i] be capable of too; unsure about the details. but what I do know is that this...dream I had. It showed me in a different form but it was still me. My mist was very much the same. I was in the heavens when the Espers rebelled against them. I was Fandaniel, the Protector. I was the one who banished Hashmal and locked him once more into a prison in Pheros.[/color]" Wesley couldn't shake the feeling that he was right. Why else would he know these things? If he truly was Fandaniel, then that meant... "[color=fff79a]I can't let anyone know this. Not until I am absolutely sure. I need to make sure this isn't the work of someone else. Or if it isn't, then I cannot be around anyone. I need you to promise you'll keep this to yourself until I can make sense of it.[/color]"
