As the woman before him gripped his forearm, Simon did the same and held hers tightly. He could feel that her grip on him was tightening, but he didn't know why. Suddenly, everything around him became black, and he could see a pink glow in front of him. From the looks of it, it was the soul of the woman that he had just locked arms with. His own soul was of a pale green, and definitely not pink. As this happened, he had realized that he was in his weapon form, as it was just him in the black abyss. He could see the world around him, but the image of the world wasn't like a screen, but he could just see it through his eyes. By the way that the image of the world wasn't split into two pieces, Simon could tell that he was in the base form, with both halves of his weapon form being one. This was how he usually entered weapon form, but with some effort, he could go right to the dual-mode instead of having for his partner to do it for him. With a smile on his face, Simon pushed his glasses up higher on the bridge of his nose and called out to his partner. "If you would like, the handle can split into halves, so that you have one blade for each hand. I'm Simon, by the way."
