Luminary

Episode 47 - Breaking News

Harper and Delph unfused, too much damaged to keep their transformation.

Allen and Jade also fell, the only one standing was Paris and Flora who were both gasping for air.

Flora: Come on, Sir Paris. Aren't you the strongest on Luminary?

Paris: Well, sparring matches aren't exactly my cup of tea, I'm more the type of "fight to the death".

Hanji, Emily and Leo were looking at that scene, still speechless. Flora alone defeated two fusions and was giving Paris a run for his money, despite everyone holding back.

Leo: All right, that's enough.

Paris: Wait, I can still do more!

Flora: No, you can't. Don't act cocky, you are leagues lower than me.

Jade: She is pretty good. I'm happy she's on the good side.

Flora: Not like it was my choice, it was either join the IBI or be executed.

Emily: What? Why?

Flora: Because your team killed my sister.

She walked to Harper and Delph.

Flora: You two work better fused than individually, true, but both of you don't know really why you worked better that way.

She walked to Allen and Jade.

Flora: You are capable of many things, yet only let out your abilities when fused, pathetic.

She looked at Allen.

Flora: Your girl can take care of herself, stop with your obsession of having to protect her all the time.

Allen: What?

Flora: How do you expect Jade to reach her true potential if you and your team keep holding her hand?

She looked at Paris.

Paris: Right, fire it away.

Flora: Drop that sense of humor. You keep using it as some sort of self defense, pretending you got over your sad backstory.

Paris didn't know how to respond, she just read him like a book.

Flora: That's all for now.

Flora left the training room to go to the bathroom while Emily was laughing.

Emily: Fucking brutal. But all fair.

Leo: Hey, you could be the next one.

Emily: Hey, I can take it. You forget where I'm from.

Leo got a phone call

Leo: Guys, go and practice on your own from here, It's the commander. I'll be right back.

Leo leaves in a hurry and Emily sees this as an opportunity to finally get a moment alone with Leo, so she goes after him.

Hanji goes to Paris and helps him get a hold of himself while the others stand up, still feeling the sting of Flora's words.

Hanji: Are you ok, Paris?

Paris: I...

He hesitated

Paris: I'll live. Thanks for the help.

Hanji: Your Aura says differently. But if you don't want to talk... I understand.

Allen wanted to give Jade a hand, but remembered Flora's words.

Flora: How do you expect Jade to reach her full potential if you and your team keep holding her hand?
