Before The Fall (origins)

Vulnerable

"Magrathea!  Magrathea!"

"Asura?  Is that you?  I can see lights, Asura!  Look!!"

"Magrathea, that's my laser pointed at your eye."

"ACK!  Ugh..."

"Get up, you drunkard.  We've been left behind again."

"Did we get Krista back?  Where is she?"

"She's with them inside the Catacombs.  Get up!"

"Ow!!!  Okay, that one hurt.  I'm getting up already...ugh..."

"Right, steady, aim..."

"Okay, okay, I get the message!  How long was I out?"

"Five minutes.  Enough for them to lose us in there.  Not like we can open the door anyway."

"Now what?"

"I don't know.  They've completely lost us.  If we can open that door, we might have a small chance of finding her.  But I doubt it."

"How'd she open the door anyway?  She had her awakening?"

"I guess.  There was a lot of white light.  Then two beams shot us and we were out like light bulbs."

"We let them get away?"

"My god, she really did a number on you.  Yes.  We let them get away.  Now come on, we have to get back to the village and plan out next moves."

"Fine.  I'll just..."

"Magrathea, this is not funny, get up."

"I can't.  My legs."

"What's wrong with your legs?"

"I can't feel them...I can't feel my legs!  Asura, I can't feel my legs!!"

"Shit.  That beam, the one that came from Krista.  I don't know what she did, but it's super effective.  Right, on my back.  Now, away we go."

"..."

"..."

"You're joking."

"I'm not.  I can't accelerate.  This is as fast as I can go.  And I can't feel anything.  But my laser is still..."

"That's gone too, isn't it?"

"Shit...I'm completely..."

"Mine too.  What now, Asura?"

"I don't know.  This is a bad week for me.  Somehow, our friend has been abductees by Jäger and somehow took our powers.  And not just switched them, she completely neutralized us."

"Meaning?"

"We're vulnerable.  That's new."
