"[color=limegreen]Another victory for the Grand Magus![/color]" Rubick cheered at the sight of Silitha disappearing and her spiderlings fleeing. He eyed the Brood Mother's spirit, wondering if he should lay claim to it. If he recalled correctly, incorporating spirits into oneself could grant access to newfound power. Being the knowledge-seeking magus he was, Rubick was keen to experience it for himself, and this seemed like this perfect spirit to try it with. 

Before he could continue this train of thought further, though, the others were already making plans about their next course of action. "[color=limegreen]We're not following Sir Barnabee[/color]? That's a shame," Rubick remarked. "[color=limegreen]It would have been fascinating studying these bees' abilities.[/color]" When it came time to gather the loot from the battle, Rubick's eyes were once again drawn to Silitha's spirit. He walked over to it, mesmerized at the sight of it. His mind raced with thoughts of its incredible potential. Rubick thought back to its teleportation ability, recognizing the great utility it could provide. If he recalled, Rubick could perform a Spirit Fusion with it. He looked back at Bowser, eyeing his various physical anomalies, then back at the spirit. Giggling, Rubick eagerly picked it up. He then summoned his Xweetok Wiggles to examine it as well. "[color=limegreen]What do you think, Wiggles?[/color]" Rubick asked him. Wiggles walked down Rubick's arm and gave the spirit a sniff, then shrugged, or at least performed the closest gesture of a shrug a Xweetok could. 

Wiggles' ears then wiggled and pointed behind Rubick. Rubick turned to see the Koopa King changing his mind and deciding to help Barnabee and the bees after all. Putting Silitha's spirit away, Rubick walked back over to the gang. "[color=limegreen]Ah, so we [i]are[/i] helping the bees after all, then,[/color]" Rubick said. "[color=limegreen]Delightful![/color]"
