Aegis/ Austin: "So here's Shining Hope and our Catalyst."

Denton's group steps through as the door closes behind them.

Roy: "Did you miss us?"

Aegis: "Oh yes we have."

Cole: "(awkwardly) That's a little creepy."

Denton is equipped with his blade.

Caleb: "You..."

Austin and Aegis begin to have binary cover the walls.

Emily: "You aren't beating us."

Kyle: "We're gonna take you right back to the prison cell you belong in!"

The melee users rush towards the enemies.

Austin: "You only won because we didn't anticipate your comeback."

A wall of binary prevents the heroes from landing their attacks.

Tori: "We never needed something like that to win!"

The range users fire, but the enemies dissipate the attacks.

Austin: "You honestly believe that?"

Micheal: "We would've won either way if we just saw how weak you two really were!"

Denton: "What he said!"

All melee users are repelled a dozen feet away.

Andrea: "We'll prove it here!"

Edo: "No matter what you do to us!"

The melee users get up.

Isabel: "We swear it!"

Risa: "My heart is the heart that calls out to the heavens!"

They charge back in with more power behind their attacks.

Aegis: "When shall we do it?"

They defend again.

Austin: "When they're done letting out their emotions."

Zack: "(struggling) You planning something?!"

They're repelled again.

Anthony: "Even I can see it!"

Denton changes to his mage clothes.

William: "We just have to beat them before they can use it!"

Aegis/ Austin: "(in heads) You can't fight back words."

Austin slugs Yukiko in the face as she attempts a sneak attack.

Yukiko: "(staggering) We put sense back in their heads!"

Asaka: "We won't deny that."

The range users unleash a barrage of attacks.

Serena: "And that's why we won't lose sight of that fact ever again!"

Aegis sends binary that ensnares Robert, Risa, and Roy.

Robert: "(struggling) Let me go!"

Austin: "Shining Hope may not lose sight..."

More of them are pinned down.

Aegis: "... but what about Denton?"

Denton is the only one yet to be caught.

Denton: "(shakily) Wh-What about me?"

The binary slowly wraps around Denton.

Aegis: "The truth buried with our world."
