Well that made things a lot easier. They had a single target now instead of having to punch everything that was in an inky and black form. A single female that possessed the power of many was better to him. She would be tougher and he could punch her harder without restraint. Two birds with one stone.
"Greetings, friend!"
He would give her the same customary greeting as the other before her and that they should have done straight away instead of testing the waters out. And so a meteor of flame rocketed straight at the different Megami, aiming to crash into her and erupt in a mighty blaze as before. Probably wouldn't put her down straight away as per customs too, but he could claim to have had the first strike before anyone else.

"Let’s just call this self-defense at this point!”
(You things attacked me, and you claim self-defense?)
At those words, Enhancer got ready to throw down a torrent of plasma. He took aim at the pair, but they ran off preceded by this "Maiden" character.
This has got to be a trick.
Enhancer's arms were all crossed. All six of them. His attention stayed on the trio making headway to somewhere else in the throne room, but he did not follow them himself. Recalling that they had managed to actually block his shot was odd. It played through his head over and over as he stood, adjusting that annoying mask over his face.
The rabbit-girl disappeared, and yet they didn't... Just what is what?
Those other navis, they were surely actual people, but everything else had to be something else. He'd never seen anyone or anything like them. Before deciding on what to do next, he looked around the room, his bottom pair of arms uncrossing and one pair remaining at his side and on his hips before settling on.

Well that was easier then expected. Well just one wave of his hand, his makeshift cell quickly went away with the tide. Sure he still felt pain from getting penetrated with a bunch of black diamonds. The women seemed to have gone away as well..strange. But that didn't matter, the whole room was starting to become hostile to him and the meeting ground Navis.
Suddenly, Rainman noticed the Naga girl and Shiva talking along with..Xenneth? Or was it the true Xenneth, Rainman wondered. He had already encountered a fake one in the Coral Caverns, this Xenneth could have been another fake as well!
Rainman stood in bewilderment as the flames began to dance around the room. They left their torches would surprisingly haven't had gotten knocked over by the commotion in the room, and went into a circle. Soon they started and building and morphing into...
Into...!
..A goddess.
"H-hello!" Rainman said in reply to Megami's greeting. Would she do something about the darksouls currently attacking them? Or would she just stand by and let the Navis do all the work? What if this was apart of the test?

With the change in the area,Glassman's senses commanded him to stop immediately. The ominous atmosphere,as well as the shadows gathering together could NOT go unnoticed by anyone...and not by himself either,apparently.
But as the shadows stretched to the height of their tallest ally there,then compressed back down,Glassman gasped. Not because he recognized the figure's appearance and voice...but because in contrast with the 'Xenneth' he met in the Red Room,this 'Megami' seemed to be almost one with the darkness here...
'No way that's the real deal...it can't be...right?' he thought to himself.
Regardless,the darkness and her off-color form was enough for Glassman to realize this was more than likely a far more potent enemy than the darksouls...and yet,he found himself not going on the offensive immediately,but waiting to see what this being that took on the appearance of Megami would do...
Glassman was unsure what it was,but the tension in the area seemed almost thicker now with the shadow-like goddess present...

~The Meeting Grounds~
---------------------------------- “There was no way they did not notice this!” ________________________________________________________
Megami, looking to Genesis direction, lifted her right hand in a half-hearted, but yet blissful, wave as she retained her smiling demeanor. She seemed genuinely happy and polite from her slow and worriless movements. It was not until she heard the sound of Warrior’s voice that her eyes opened in quite a surprise. She turned to his direction, her smile returning, even if it vanished so briefly. She nodded her head while lifting her right hand revealing her palm as if to say “be calm.”
“Gomen, Warrior. Did I perhaps make you worry?” her hand falling back to place at her lap as Megami continued, “I have been here this whole time. However, your appearance here…it makes me wonder. Do you not know, you are intruding?”
"Greetings, friend!"
Reaction time had to be flawless here, and so it was.
There was the first malevolent look Megami cast as she turned to see the blazing fist rocketing at her like a meteor. With her right palm whipping upward in a swift movement, she had let the center of her hand catch the punch as the flames erupted and overtook her body, if only for a moment. They had calmed as easily as they seemed to meet something that swept off her body and overtook the inferno: a mist. The vapors had small bits of crystal that had sprinkled over the fire until the tendrils of flame became pieces of ice. The blaze was turned frozen stalagmites that surrounded the Goddess.
“You have such good instincts!” Megami seemed to compliment, “Also you are clearly one of the strongest here. That could, perhaps, be a problem.”
Megami had spoken out of concern. With her right finger brushing at her chin, she moved in a circle as the bits of ice surrounded Zane. The inferno NetNavi’s very flooring where he stood begun to freeze as it crept from where the Goddess once stood and seemed to seep its away to him as if it was trying to engulf and overtake him. She had seemed to be aware, but not the least bit concerned as she walked away not even giving Zane a second, nor even a first, look upon the strange counter measure.
“As I was saying,” Megami went on to speak, “You are intruding…but how is it that you are here? Was it perhaps by will or just by coincidence? It is-”
Megami paused as she looked to the group of NetNavis and among them…lights.
The spirits that allied themselves with them, from the rooms, had a bright light emitting from their chest. Each one with a differing color: green, red, blue, yellow. Each of the bright lights had flew from the forms, leaving the bodies to simply fade into nothingness. Each of the three matching lights found one another as they started to combine according to their matching hue. They clustered until they seemed light four bright lights that were before the NetNavis and with a bright flash, there standing before them were the similar, but various colored forms of a long-haired boy.
“They…look just like me.” Xenneth stood be Genesis as he said this. He took only small sudden steps if to just get a closer look at the four colored copies of himself.
“Yes,” the green Xenneth spoke, “We called them here.”
“A task that seemed appropriate to confront thou foul darkness.” the red Xenneth commented.
“You thought we were just going to sit around and let you run the house? Fat chance!” the yellow Xenneth barked.
“We…gambled on their light, the operator’s light, and Megami’s light… to stop you!” the blue Xenneth exclaimed.
Megami smiled looking towards the four colored Xenneth copes. Her right hand lifting in Zane’s direction as she halted her attack, as if she wanted to understand the situation completely. Her smile was different this time: it was less kindly and more amused as if she was anything but a benevolent Goddess. “You took the light from that boy’s ability…this…Full-Synchro, and used it to with this girl’s fleeting fancy of love. Then, also, you wanted outside help? I see…two may be better than one…but three? It was a wise plan…but tell me…did your ‘lights’ live up to your expectations?”
The four colored Xenneths had stopped as they looked to one another: some of their faces pained, another relaxed, and maybe even a mixture of frustration as they looked back and forth. However, in the end, it seemed as they did not want to answer to this ‘Goddess’ or whatever menace she was. They looked to the group of NetNavis that were among them, from one to another as their eyes focused on them as if they had something to say.
However, there was silence…
"I...still believe in their potential." The green Xenneth spoke once more, turning to the group of NetNavis. He smiled as he looked to the group, "Surely, one of you understand, where you are and why is it that you are here, correct?"
The female awaited the answer from one of the NetNavis.

She managed to catch it? That let him know something at least. Putting quality over quantity could be the term used for this. She was built tougher because she was a bunch of these makeshift spirits put together. Speaking of good instincts though, she wasn't lacking them. As far as he could tell there were about two others here now that the room wasn't full of people that could be a fun time for him without it being one-sided. His gut instinct told him he was right on at least the one with the multiple arms hanging out of the way over there. And the other one was someone he had targeted before, so he was still fresh on the to-do list.
"Not as dense or fragile as I thought."
Seeing as she used ice of all things to catch fire instead of something like water was a sure sign too. He didn't care about her attitude or manner, but he did have to figure out whether she would melt first or would his fire be snuffed out first instead. Speaking of melting, the ice was gathering even now. She was trying to freeze him? That was pretty bad, wasn't it? Putting aside that she had stopped his fire with that ice, freezing him solid sure wasn't going to stick. So he reached out his left hand, the heat from his body practically producing fire itself as the ice receded, yet the Inferno Knight did not attack again.
Because he wasn't going to attack someone not paying him full attention yet. The first shot was to get her attention and get the ball rolling. But then she seemed pretty hung up on the whole intruding deal. Personally speaking if someone was intruding you fought them, plain and simple. But then the other colored kids wanted an answer too. He would raise a brow at this if he could, but then they wouldn't notice the gesture with his armor anyway.
"I didn't really think about where we are as much as the why for me became "Punch out, slash apart, and burn up darkness woman". The rest is for them to figure out while I get to that momentarily."

A questioning expression became apparent on Glassman's face as this 'Megami' mentioned the strongest here being a problem. He could almost ask who it'd be a problem for,but given what this being seemed to be composed of,there was no need for him to ask vocally.
In case he had missed something before,Glassman watched as Zane was about to be engulfed in what could seemingly be an icy prison of sorts...but even that would have to wait,as the other colored Xenneths appeared among them.
To say the least,it seemed as if the red,green,yellow and blue Xenneth were on the side against this being that has assumed Megami's form.
As this 'Megami' spoke to all four of them,Glassman observed their interaction intently,rubbing his chin as he pondered over their words for a bit...
The blue Xenneth and the red one seemed to have mentioned something especially important...to him anyway.
"...to confront the darkness..." Glassman repeated,mentally. Though there didn't seem to be much darkness present in the Red Room,the way the Xenneths addressed this 'being' that was in Megami's form said a lot...
'...so,we're the light,along with her own light and Xenneth's...that means...!'
Well,to him it only meant they could be in one place,to be exact...
Stepping forth,Glassman made his attempt to answer the green Xenneth's riddle.
"Hmm...so this all means we're somehow...in Megami's heart...?" Glassman answered...though it could then lead to other questions. But he had no doubt this was here they currently were...somehow.
Glancing in the direction of the guest he had spoken to last,Glassman then looked back at the set of Xenneths with an affirmative nod.
"And our mission...!" he began,pointing a finger at the 'thing' currently appearing to be Xenneth's dear navi and friend and digital 'main squeeze'. "...is to quell the darkness that is trying to resonate and take control of Megami's heart!"
Looking toward the multiple Xenneth for confirmation,Glassman awaited their response. Even if he were positive about his answer,their response would be the only way to find out if that truly was indeed their purpose here...
'If I'm correct,that makes this a battle between LIght and Dark...we can't afford to botch this then...!

*Much like Glassman, Genesis took the sights in. The words said and the actions taken. Zane was more aggressive than ever, but he also was never one to worry about the details much. After answering the Xenneths they would likely have to trade blows either way with this Megami. From all that was said the conclusion he came to for the riddle was the only answer he could give here.*
"As Glassman said, we should be inside of Megami right now. Whether it is the real us or if we happen to be 'Spirits' like the others here is difficult to say, but that changes nothing. We're here to teach and show you our potential and defeat this darkness while keeping Xenneth safe."
*Nothing could be completely without darkness. Looking at your reflection you were bound to see both light and darkness someday. So calming it down with force was the wording he preferred. But then the circumstances might strangely allow for otherwise. He couldn't say, just like he couldn't say if they were real like the one Xenneth out of five. They were questions for later.*

Genesis took the words out of Warrior's mouth, for the most part. Inside of Megami -- either as themselves or as Megami's subconscious embodiment of them -- to defeat some form of malevolence inside of her (which was surprising to Warrior... was there any such presence inside of her?).
Looks like they'd go toe to toe shortly.

"So...this is the 'truth' then?" Rainman said out loud to the room guests. There really wasn't more to be said, it appeared to be a classic fight between light and darkness. But that didn't mean that there wasn't room for more questions and answers.
"So are these "Xenneths" apart of Megami too?" Rainman asked while keeping his attention on what ever it was that was currently pretending to be Megami. It was hard to believe that a Navi as pretty as her could have something this foul deep inside her. Now it was pretty clear to everyone that as soon as their questions had been answered they were going to have to fight.
"If what everyone is saying is true it's that this Megami is a fake? And that right now we could possibly be in her...heart? If that's true I think it's obvious to everyone, we're the light to cast aside her darkness. Does this mean that these puzzles until now have been buying us time before the real Megami appeared?" Rainman asked.
It was a strange feeling knowing that him and a bunch of strangers were all brought together to fight the darkness inside some poor girl. It was even stranger knowing that he could be a spirt, and not actually him.

~The Meeting Grounds~
---------------------------------- “There was no way they did not notice this!” ________________________________________________________
“These are your ‘lights’ you placed hope in?”
The green Xenneth had breathed a sigh hearing Zane’s words. The Inferno Knight was no doubt ruthless, but at least his heart was in the right place. However, it was the following replies from the following NetNavis that made her show a weak, docile smile. Part of her pleased and another a bit disappointed that they did not catch up fully on their own. Although, she had to admit to herself, that their unity and reasoning among one another was what pieced together the mystery that could not be spoken due to the walls having ears.
“Such worthy room travelers, indeed.” the green Xenneth said as he stood forth, “At this very moment, you have noticed it: you too are spirits. This NetNavi, affectionately named Megami, is like a Black Box. She was born with a very high capacity for withholding data. Therefore, she had various programs contained with her that represented the forms of myths, legends, and fiction that came from the same human minds that thus gave birth to you. Human potential has been what driven her programming from the very beginning.”
“But, ye potential is also thou biggest flaw!” the red Xenneth cut in, “Thus, thou potential also bring the darkness: Lust, Envy, Greed, Pride, Slothfulness, and so on the vile nature of human potential. The very remnants that created...that ‘thing’ before us that thou see. Born of corruption, tempered by the world, and finally pulled out by some...being...from that accursed city that attacked. Some of uou have fought this darkness before in another form.” the eyes of the red spirit had glared at the form of Megami that was still, seeming to enjoying listening to the lecture.
“That was your plan?” she mocked, “To use NetNavis that simply quelled my rage to defeat me? It is a foolish attem-”
“Wrong, Smart@$$!!!” the yellow Xenneth cried in a very lewd taunt, “We’re going to use them to seal you here! You think we are stupid? There is darkness in every heart, and you are no exception. I know a certain old lady who has you under lock and key and so we made a deal with her: we make the new keys and she makes your cage! Therefore, we gonna keep you in this very spot for the Goddess to use herself! Vanquishing the darkness may be impossible, but we have another idea in mind...”
“We will make another spirit...” the blue Xenneth said pointing to the NetNavis, “...from their light.”
Megami, for the first time, frowned. The news somehow enough to make her seem irritated for some reason.
The green Xenneth, however, seemed to ignore it as his hand wafted over his body. The green luminescent light had poured from his body until he changed shape. His body became plated with silver colored armor that was attached at the legs, torso, and head as if banded by a strange fixture pointed on opposing sides of her head. The feminine features apparent as she suddenly had long flowing blue hair, but yet there was a green glow that ran through the small black seems of the armor. It was apparent it was a mixture of a very exotic and beautiful woman, but yet also, a cyborg powered by a strange luminescent energy source.
She approaches Genesis slowly...
“I am Agia, MKII,” the newly reformed green figure spoke, “I am originally known as Gaia of the Earth. With time, I have advanced and shaped myself based on human potential and advancement. I am the one who chose the traveler of the green room.” the female had nodded as she reached out a hand to her chest., “Unfortunately, his spiritual presence has faded from the Goddess’s heart. I can only infer that his heart was not strong enough to brave the room. However, I have considered a new champion...” the female’s eyes went to Genesis, “Among the other travelers, you seem to have inquired to where you are, and even find out that your presence in this plain was astral. It was a task worthy of the challenge in my room: to know patience.”
She goes silent, but voices come from the corners of the room...
[smear:000000]“I am not sure…but I sure feel relaxed!”[/smear:b8b8b8]
[smear:000000] “You should sit down too…”[/smear:b8b8b8]
[smear:000000]“ Some things…you just gotta have faith in…”[/smear:b8b8b8]
The mysterious female, known as Agia, smiled.
“Had you traveled my room, I am confident you would have succeeded.” she went on to say, “But now I see you for who you are: a warrior who waits patiently, takes in their surroundings, and does not make haste. Because of that, I bequeathed to you, my shield. Although, it would seem useless to you in this plain, I believe as etched apart of your data, they become what your kind call, Battlechips.”
Agia had stepped forth towards Genesis, her hands reaching out to the NetNavi a she calmly lifted what seemed to be an astral projection of a solid rounded object. The object vanished in a circular pillar of light that encircled its form; the same shade of light that surrounded Genesis and inserted the shield directly into his data. As the light faded, it was apparent the deed was done as Agia nodded, stepped back and looked to Genesis who would have a piece of data etched into his programming that would summon forth the Goddess when needed.
A burst of flame surrounded the red Xenneth as soon as Agia stepped back from Genesis. The pillar of fire had not subsided, but slowly, a form emerged that revealed to be a female wearing tight red leather, a head fixture adorned by gold and a single emerald sparkling octagon at the center. Raven black hair fallen from the head fixture as her face adorned by white paint seemed to squint in a most unpleasant scowl. No one would have guessed this was her in a good mood.
She approaches GlassMan bravely...
“Thy am Amaterasu!” she spoke with a powerful booming voice as she pressed her hands to her hips. She puffed out her chest as she done so, “I am the bravest Sun God who scorches the lands! Thy wash out my enemies with fire and I take pride in my ability to uphold true justice and oversee the Red Room!” the female looked to GlassMan as if she overpowered him in a cocky manner. Her eyes narrowing slightly, “Can thou honestly say thou does the same...Navi? In my room, it was to endure every challenge and to uphold ye idea of true justice! As an enforcer, thou should understand.”
Her booming voice echoes, but soon is overtaken by the sound of echoes within the room.
[smear:000000]“ We’re just going to have to endure everything until we get out of here.”[/smear:b8b8b8]
[smear:000000] “I can’t give any answers, because I don’t know what will happen.”[/smear:b8b8b8]
[smear:000000]“ I know that there are some things that just cannot be helped. That’s why we’re going have to keep going no matter what the risk is. Especially when our friends are at risk right now!”[/smear:b8b8b8]
Amaterasu, looking down upon GlassMan, smiled.
“So tell me, NetNavi. What drives ye? Sheer bravery or simple cowardice! Because I witnessed the latter today!” her smile quickly melting into an ugly scowl that shown the corner of her teeth. She reaches her hands into one another, cracking her knuckles as she does so. “I admit, those two spirits did stray from their proper task! They were to drive you to your limit. However, they still worked out in my favor as they tested another limit I wanted to know of: your conviction! How far were you willing to go to help someone you did not know? Even though you thought that I, posing as that pathetic Net Operator, was your friend; you changed your resolve simply because you seemed to be presented with one thing: an escape route? A truth? I am not sure what made you change your resolve to protect me in my guise. However, thou abandoned his convictions the moment he left me to become a simple test subject...as even the snake lady said she would do such a thing..or do you not recall?”
Amaterasu’s scowl had seemed to vanish long ago. She just had a blank expression, most likely one of disappointment. Her right hand blaze with a swirling cyclone of fire that seemed to compress to show a beautifully crafted sword divided at the center. Her nostrils flared for a moment before she simply reached her hand to GlassMan giving him a satchel of outdated golden coins.
“A valiant effort in defeating their trickery, but I am afraid I cannot bequeath to you this sword. You are not ready yet.”
The moment that Amaterasu stepped back, there was a thunder clap.
The yellow Xenneth’s body was stuck by a bolt of lightening that altered the form rather than charred it to a crisp. The light subsided, the small form composed of a jesters hat that sat upon split ends of short blonde hair revealed itself. There was a single symbol of a shape of a thunder bolt hanging off the downward pointed piece of the fixture and the other lifted with a single swirling white charm that resembled a tornado. Her pointed shoes and skirt-like plaid clothing of yellow and blue had revealed itself to the figure she walked slowly to with a disgruntle, but semi-permanently stuck face.
She approaches Warrior in a haste...
“My name is Tsuki...yada-yada-yada...” she rolled her eyes and tilted her head to the right seeming to not care about formality, “Goddess of Thunder and Wind. All that good stuff! I manage the yellow room! Got it!” she tapped her foot as she looked to Warrior. Her hands were to her side and a finger thrusted out pointing to him. “Forget all that stuff! I am just the one that made sure you got your butt from point A to point B in there! Did you figure it out?!”
Even as she cried out like a wild child, there were unmistakable echoes that came from the room.
[smear:000000]“ I really don’t want to stay in this place for long. Can we just leave”[/smear:b8b8b8]
[smear:000000] “I rather not…” [/smear:b8b8b8]
[smear:000000]“ I feel I have to try harder. Make decisions, and try to act quickly! If I hesitate, nothing will be done. I just really want to protect you right now, Warrior-san!”[/smear:b8b8b8]
“ARE YOU FRICKIN’ DENSE OR ARE YOU FRICKIN’ STUPID!” Tsuki had cried out, once again, stomping her foot as she swung her finger and arm through the air like a mace. “What kind of ‘Warrior’ are you? I mean, seriously! When I said I wanted to leave, I meant I wanted to leave! Now! Not later! Now! I took bullets for you to buy you time, and do you know how hard that was? I wouldn’t even take a bullet for my own bro-” she paused looking to the blue Xenneth. Regardless of the words that were coming out, he seemed to smile at the small loud nymph of a Goddess.
“Well, whatever!” she continued on with her rant, “Look! All I am saying is, there is no shame in at least getting while the getting is good! How can you protect someone if you fight losing battles. Would you honestly keep fighting to your last breath when civilians are in the area? Honestly, how many people can you say could have been saved if you would just...retreat when there is no gain in fighting?”
The female held out her right hand as she shown in her grasp a crackling ball of yellow electricity. It surged until it became long in length, materializing into what seemed like a bladed end and a pole arm in its entirety as she grasped it. She spun it through the air before stabbing it into the ground.
“I’m not giving you my spear, you loser! Show me you can use it later!”
A wave of water had washed itself over the last astral form of Xenneth as Tsuki made her declaration. The form the emerged from the wave of water was small, just like Tsuki. The dressing style was similar...just like Tsuki. Also, there was hair that was blonde, but yet combed down. The color patterns of the clothing were similar, but yet shorts rather than a skirt. However, the hat was opposite in the direction it pointed with a charm of a water droplet instead of a bolt. The similarities were so much like Tsuki that it made one wonder.
He approaches RainMan timidly...
“I-I’m...” he paused for a moment, “I-I’m Yomi! I-I am the one who can control the winds a bit...along with my sister, Tsuki. Not only that, but I am good with Water too! I-I...I was with you in the Blue Room when you took the trial. The other two, like in the other rooms, they were my aides. I just wanted to see if you were nice...like...trying to make friends and handling conflict. I-I really don’t like fighting so...”
His words were broken and were nearly inaudible. But the echoing voices were and quickly echoed over his own voice:
[smear:000000] “Yes! I am fine! Just lonely!” [/smear:b8b8b8]
[smear:000000] “But that’s the thing, you don’t know!” [/smear:b8b8b8]
[smear:000000]“ However, what’s the harm in finding out? Who say that they are friendly? Then again…who says they are enemies?”[/smear:b8b8b8]
“Y-you...you were very nice!” Yomi said this as he leapt up with a smile, “Not only did you reason with people, but, you also made sure to help everyone! You did not resort to violence all the time, and you put making friends first. I-I really did not expect that sense...well...you know. You do not seem like you would do that...not that you wouldn’t...or you would...I-I mean...”
He breathed, deeply. His right hand reached out as within it a conglomerate of bubbles pressed themselves together in his palm. His hand did not seem weighted by what appeared as the bubbles popped all at once revealing a large silver mallet decorated with blue sea shells upon the top and base.
“I mean...you would make a nice friend!” he said happily, “I bequeathed to you my Mallet. Remember, I am a Demi-God, so taking half of my power means you also take half of the power of thunder.”
A cylinder of light engulfed the small boy as the mallet vanished from his grasp. The same light, circling the form of RainMan, had started to press the data into his very being until it was imprinted there. Yomi, smiling happy, stepped back as he looked to RainMan with satisfaction.
The four divine figures stared to their chosen, and the other NetNavis in the area could hear the sound of a harp. A familiar tune playing on it with familiarity in the distance, but yet no form shown itself. The melody died out in mere seconds as quickly as it ascended in tone. With that, there was a silence that fallen over the room once more a Agia looked to the remaining NetNavis within the area.
“I see that you have heard the Muse’s melody.” she exclaimed, “A shame you did not meet her. Maybe she had something to bequeath to you too. Either way, let this experience be something to all of you. You must all be something important to the Goddess to have your forms etched into her heart like this.”
The dying tune let out one last whistle as the other NetNavis in the area seemed to be enlightened by the melody.
"We did not mean to deceive you all, we assure you of this," Agia spoke, "We simply had to allow you all to look into your hearts, sweep away the darkness, and strengthen your character in order to ease the communion between yourself and the Goddess. At the moment, she is trying very hard to accept your presence into her, awaken a new spirit within her, and make it so that she may evolve just like you all have today. The only thing standing in the between that is..." Agia turned staring towards Megami who still bore a scowl. She tilted her chin downward, slightly, casting a shadow over her eyes. The cyborg-like figure had locked eyes with her, but it was Tsuki who stepped forth brandishing her spear as she gritted her teeth like a rapid dog.
she uttered bitterly.
"...her!"

Despite his own fiery disposition,Amaterasu's words cut like a cautering knife. And the truth behind them really hit home even more.
He had indeed developed a resolve at first,but he somehow lost his way back there. Was it the change in environment or something else...?
Glassman reflected on Amaterasu's words and thought about them deeply...he'd have to be a better,more selfless person in the future...after-all,this showed him that he couldn't possibly protect anyone if he was overly concerned with himself!
'Starting from this point on...'
Even though Amaterasu had indeed commended him for effort,from his facial expression and her words,it was clearer than freshly shined glass...he had really messed up back there in the end. He determined in his heart and mind (even if he WAS a 'spirit' here) to not make such a mistake again.
As they were brought back to their current encounter,Glassman stepped forth,standing next to Tsuki. His body lit up with a fiery aura as he prepared for battle,prepared to aid Megami in the fight against her inner darkness.
"Ready when you guys are." Glassman spoke. obviously raring to go. It seemed they had reached the final stage here...!

"Woah..so does this mean that Megami is like a human? Or at least close to it?", Rainman said out loud, taking all of the new information in. "And then us four are going to make a new spirit? That's...awesome!" Rainman said with almost full confidence. They were going to make a new guardian together! How was this spirit going to turn out? How were they going to act? So many questions...but sadly for Rainman, now was not the time. He was about to receive a gift.
After receiving praise from Yomi he started to gain his gift. Rainman felt a sudden jolt of pain as Yomi's hammer went from his hand and into Rainman's body. It stung a little bit at first, having the object slowly going deeper and deeper into his insides; eventually the pain resided and Rainman was left with a new power, something that he was sure he was going to use in the near feature.
Rainman smiled at Yomi as he received his gift. While it was a strange feeling having the data of the mallet implanted into Rainman, he was left happy knowing that he had proven his worth to Yomi. Rainman then proceeded to store that data of the attack in a blank battle chip implanted in the real world. The blank battle chip was in Rainman's PET, or course.
To his left it seemed that the green guardian had managed to find someone else who she had full confidence in. For the yellow and red room guardians they had seemed a bit...disappointed in their chosen ones. Tsuki was out right yelling at her chosen one. While Tsuki was still yelling at Warrior Rainman looked over at Glassman. It had appeared that while Tsuki somewhat happy with Glassman, she over all wanted more from him.
"Poor guy.." Rainman though to himself as he continued to watch. At least he and that other guy, 'Genesis' had managed to prove themselves to their respective room guardians. Now it was time to fight, and free Megami of this... 'curse' inside. Rainman walked over next to Yomi and Glassman and took out his Aqua handgun. From within in the watery weapon, you could see a reflection of the fake Megami staring down at the room travelers and the guardians.
"Is everyone else ready?" Rainman asked to the crowd.

Warrior kept quiet during his rebuke. But when she was finished, it was his turn to talk.
"Dense. Stupid. It's been debated by many whether I could by either or both. A Warrior that lives up to his name no less, and a coward even more."
He held his palm up to her as the spear stayed stabbed in the ground, as if declining what was never offered.
"If you wanted to leave, I never stopped you. I didn't make the wrong choices, I simply made the ones you didn't agree with. You seem like the stubborn kind to think those are one and the same, though."
"If I was stuck in a fight I couldn't win with civilians around, then maybe my fighting is the only thing giving them their window to escape. If they stick around while 'wanting to leave', I'd say they're the ones with the decisive issues, not me. If something else impedes them from leaving, that's another story, but that also wasn't the case."
The same hand that declined the spear now wrapped itself around a weapon more familiar to the wielder: his own sword that'd been with him since his journey began. He held it firmly and comfortably as he turned his back to the yellow goddess and her spear, now facing Megami with nothing but his own strength rather than a deity's.
"You chose the wrong warrior. I never wanted the spear or your power. Give it to somebody else."
Tough words from a guy that used to rely on a different spirit to fight his battles for him. But that remnant was gone now and it was toxic to stick to old habits anyway. Even if the goddess of lightning and wind -- the two forces he most belonged to -- didn't support his cause, he wouldn't sway.
A battle he couldn't win that he had no reason getting caught up in anyway; potential bystanders or civilians in danger.
Sounded like a regular Tuesday.

He had recognized the harp at least. There were way too many people to meet here. He didn't note what the goddesses said to each of their specific chosen, but there was work to be done. One declined, so he supposed they were in the same boat here.
"You rant way too much. A simple no would have sufficed. All that mattered was what you wanted to do. No need to try to defend yourself as right when you can disregard them entirely."
Seriously. It was what he was doing anyway. If he didn't say his choices were wrong then she would be the one that was wrong. She disagreed with that obviously so all he had to do was not care. Better yet, why bother saving the civilians? If he couldn't win the fight those people were going to be destroyed in the crossfire.
"But it's whatever. You can ignore me too. We should just focus on not getting in each other's way."
Because really it was up to the 'Warrior' to fight his own way and do his own thing. Similarly he would do his own thing as well, slamming his fists together and taking a step forward. This was something that he could get behind much easier than all the talking they wanted to do.
"Evolution is dirty business. Accepting who you are, all of it, is trippy because people don't bother seeing what they don't want to see. Whether it was a success or not is up to you guys to decide. But we have more important matters at hand that we're ready to do. Like knowing how to knock someone down that's standing up... there's a lot of ways to do that one that are much simpler to do."
