As Dianna flew off and the Dissonances she summoned turn to the group, Morgan sighed.

[i]Well, I guess this counts as "not good with partings"...[/i]

Drawing the newest addition to his arsenal, the rifle he had stolen from the solders a month ago, he paused to aim down the sights, only to have his target torn into by a white snakelike head. Through Arcanus, he could sense the Hydra that been summoned by the white-haired girl a little ways away, and he lowered his rifle as a new plan began to form in his mind.

[i]That... might just work. It'll be good to see the results of actual combat, and after all isn't the saying,  "two heads are better than one"?[/i]

Muttering a stanza under his breath, Arcanus vanished from Morgan's eye, and a purple orb of light formed behind him.

[i][What is it? I was reading.][/i]

Slightly grinning as Lore's childlike voice echoed in his head, Morgan gestured towards the Dissonances.

[i]There's a decent combat scenario here. Haven't you been hoping for a field test as well?[/i]

When she noticed the Dissonances, Morgan felt a sense of glee pass over from Lore, and a second later a young woman, similar into him every way beside the lack of weapons and the purple eyes, stood beside him.

"I get to use the pistols though."

"Sure."

Passing over the twin pistols, Morgan took aim at one of the unharmed Dissonances and fired, covering Lore as she crept close for her own assault.

As Morgan's bullet passed through the creature's left eye, Lore dove in and wrapped her arm around its neck, pressing a barrel against the bottom of its head and firing, a sound akin to the detonation of an explosive resounding across the ruin as the Dissonance's head vanished and it turned back to a page of notes.
