"OPEN!!!"
"Asura, it's no use. Even with your powers, I doubt you could break the seal. Make it angry, maybe."
"OPEN!!!"
"You're hurting your hands, Asura. We can't even feel our Rei. We can't fight them."
"I can. I've trained for this situation. Hand-to-hand."
"All of then at once."
"Right now, no. I need Rei to accelerate. It helps to boost my speed. But even without my Rei, I'm still plenty fast."
"Olympic level, I've heard. But we're not sprinting for sport. At least when we switched powers, we still had Rei. I can't feel anything right now...it's weird. I don't use Submission much, but I kind of miss it."
"I really don't like what we're gonna have to do now."
"What? And stop punching, your hands are going to break."
"They broke three minutes ago."
"Oh you idiot. Why don't you break your head next, you don't seem to be using much of it."
"Oh shut it. You'd be doing it as well if you could walk."
"Tsk. Details. What's our next step?"
"We head for the nearest outpost."
"Not Hill Village?"
"They'll sort themselves out. We need some help. Outpost Bravo first."
"Outpost Bravo? Isn't that..."
"Yes. I don't like it, but it's our last choice right now."

"Too slow. They'd already be too far ahead."
"It's the same if we head for the outpost."
"The most powerful magic user on continent is there right now, an we'd be fools if we didn't ask for his help."
"It's hard to see Dad helping you."
"I'd rather eat my pants, but they're enchanted. Outpost Bravo first. And on the way, find something nice and juicy?"
"Why?"
"I want to cover the taste of eating my words later."
