Henry: Me and Shallow were talking about it earlier. It was right before we went to go save Alexis.

(Flashback)

Henry: (Oh wait, I almost forgot, I need you to do something for me).

Shallow: ?

Henry: Can you bring people back to life.

Shallow: Well yeah, but using that much energy,

Henry: If I can't take down Ace, then I need to unlock all of the power that you have.

Shallow: But doing that would mean that you are willing to give up your life.

Henry: Well that's fine by me, because as long as I can protect my friends, then I don't care.

Shallow: (Takes a breath) If you say so, but be warned, you only have a fifty percent chance of living.

Henry: I think that I'll take my chances, but there's something missing.

Shallow: And what would that be?

Henry: Well I need to name it of course.

Shallow: (Laughs)

Henry: Hm?

Shallow: So what's the name of it.

Henry: I'll call it, Shallow God Form.

Shallow: Got it, now go.

Henry: Right.

(Flashback ends)

Henry: Shallow, God Form. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Ace: Shadow, Juggernaut Drive. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Henry: Alright Ace, this ends now! Sha-llow-su-per-blast!

Ace: Shadow Mega Beam!

Our attacks clashed and we were evenly pushing out energy. He took one of his hands, and blasted a beam out of his finger at the girls.

Henry: Noooooo!

Ace: Ahhahahahahahaha! How does it feel to be weak!

I broke off the blast between us, and ran towards the girls. I came up to Alexis first, and I was shocked at what I had seen.

Asuna: Hey, Henry, I'm...

I fell to my knees in front of her, and held her hand.

Asuna: ...Oh no. She's...

Henry: Don't you dare say it!

Asuna had a disappointed look on her face.

Henry: ...

Asuna: It's my fault, I should have...

I put my hand up to stop her from talking, and put my hand back down.

Henry: It's not your fault, if anything, it's my fault. I wasn't strong enough to protect her.

Ace: Oh, and what do you intend to do now?

Henry: Asuna, take Alexis and run. I'm about to unleash the same power from when I first meet you.

Asuna: Right.

She did what I asked, and I stood up and turned to Ace.

Ace: Hmm.

Henry: Rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr...

The ground started to shake.

Ace: (What is he doing)?

Henry: Rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rraaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
