[b][i]William Ascot[/i][/b]

William would return to the scene of the battle, only to find that Wolf had been defeated by the unknown assailant, who may have kidnapped Vernon. Now the boy's priorities were split; should he try and help Wolf, or should he see what happened to Vernon? Turning towards the former (as well as Vera), Ascot would say: "Do you guys need help?!"

He still had his imitated version of Michael's 'body art' to give him extra strength, as well as Nakama Dedication Method; the latter would last for as long as he still had his connection with Andras. Speaking of Nakama Dedication Method...

Ascot walked halfway to Celestine's car, and raised his fist high as he glowed golden again. This time, Wolf, Vera, Vernon, and Masami would flash a bright yellow aura marking them as his 'True Companions'; this aura would add to their strength, speed, and luck and hopefully tip the balance in their favor as well. He would then say to Masami:

"I know you must be confused by this turn of events, but it's simple; the man in armor is trying to protect Andras, while the person he was fighting before was part of a group that wanted to [i]kidnap[/i] her! Right now, I am coating all of you in an aura that makes those I regard as 'True Companions' - regardless of whether they think they are one of them - stronger, faster, and luckier! So I think we can take on this kidnapper!"

Gilgamesha chuckled at Andras' fear, and ruffled the young woman's head. "Oh, don't worry, I was joking. That said, I am very happy my William has a good friend like you; he can be hopelessly naive at times, and tends to abhor shedding blood. So I am glad that he has someone willing to fight by his side, as well as help him in his own projects."

A sigh. "Anyway...you're a Vigilante, right? How is King? Does he still like cats? Is he still delightfully crazy? And his lightsaber, I hope he hasn't broken it; it is such a fine weapon that [i]almost[/i] equals one of my Artifact Blades..."

There was a slight amount of jealousy in that tone.
