"YAMI" Metal whisper-yells
"I'm sorry..." Yami stares down
"YAMIII" Metal raises his voice a bit
"Huh?" Yami glances over at Metal hiding behind a building
"OVER HERE" Metal waves
"You can just talk normally" Miami rolls her eyes
"Okay...Yami, come over here" Metal motions
Yami approaches him
Metal pulls her into the abandoned hotel, their base of operations for the moment
"Yo, you're alive" Hyper greets
"Yeah, somehow" Yami chuckles
"You really need the-" Lexia follows Troy as he comes to see Yami
"Nah, I'm-I'm good, good" Troy winces, holding his stomach
"Holy sh!t, you're in actual pain" Yami raises her eyebrows
"Yeah, first for me, too" Troy grins
"Yami-YAMI" Flake rushes to her
"YAMI?" Kyron yells
Flake hugs her, nearly knocking her over
"Yami? Holy sh-crap, I was worried about you" Alex approaches her
"Uh..me...too" Infinite mutters
"You two-really?" Yami hugs Flake back
"Well, yeah" infinite stands beside Clara
"Status report, how are you, ma'am?" Lane wonders
"Not too bad, had to stand off with Ultimas, nose started bleeding, kinda sucked" Yami shrugs
"Wait-what was that first one?" Troy stares
"My nose started bleeding? Yeah, couldn't br-" Yami starts
"Nonono, b-before that" Kyron specifies
"Oh, fighting Ultimas?" Yami grins
"YOU SURVIVED?" Metal yells
"Yeah, I'm here now...I mean, I think" Yami explains
"Well, y-yeah" Flake lets go, rubbing Yami's arms
"See? I'm fiiiine" Yami laughs
"...So why was I struggling against him?" Troy strokes his chin
"Not that I wasn't struggling, I just had to make him leave" Yami clarifies
"Elaborate-please" Troy is deep in his thoughts
"I just had to get him to fall through a portal, all there is" Yami nods
"But-you just a broken nose is all?" Troy confirms
"Yep" Yami answers
"...How long was the fight, he use a weapon or just his body?" Troy interrogates
"Basically he's trying to figure out Ultimas' secret" Miami explains
"Well, we just used our bodies, fight was maybe a minute and a half? Maybe 3? Not long" Yami answers
"...So when Sasuke joined-...huh" Troy paces around
"Intuition's telling me-" Armada gets cut off
"-You think Ultimas is somehow power scaling himself on the power he's fighting?" Yami guesses
"Good guess, yeah, something like that...he's never done that before, though" Troy adds
"DA-NG, POPPING OFF LATELY" Metal pats her on the back
