[Jaune stupidly wasn't watching Ales when he was talking with Saori, naively believing they could solve this without bloodshed, so's blindsided by the Heavy Shot. He cries out in pain as he falls to his knees.] Seriously? I was trying to keep you alive!

[He feels Jade's Curaga wash over him and gives him a nod of thanks as he rises back up, this time facing Ales. He manages to throw his shield up at the last second to protect him from the brunt of the Wind Laser.] Looks like we don't have a choice now. [He's tempted to take a swipe at the guy, still a little upset by his sudden attack on him, but he's noticed that Mary - an assassin - is having a hard time hitting him. Little guy's pretty agile, and Jaune can help with that. He begins a Slow Dance to try to slow Ales down.]

If you admire him thinking for himself, then stop attacking for a minute and think for yourself! Is fighting us your wish, or Kalki's? Are you still just following orders? You have a choice here, Ales. Choose!

Then why not reach to one of us? None of us are afraid of being called out if needed. Sometimes we need that second opinion even if we don't realize it right away. Damn it Ales, I trusted you as a fellow Assassin!

[The hit from the Wind Laser was enough to trigger her counter attack. She could just aim at the dragon but where it has to hurt...

Oh. Hello, shiny weak point. At least if what her experience with playing games and fighting several beasts has taught her. She runs and takes up at a leap towards the dragon's mouth. With a war cry, she thrusts her sword at the crystal along with a parting shot of thunder ninjutsu. Before she became mechanical dragon chow, she swung herself onto its back, plunging the sword into it to hang on.

So you mean to tell us you can sleep easy every night knowing how many lost their lives because of your actions?

[Mary cries out as Ales' shot strikes her, a numbness spreading through her leg at the impact. The thrashing of the dragon shakes her loose but she's able to scramble to find another handhold. She's still on the thing but she's now fallen further down it, unable to regain ground or do much else as she tries to keep herself from being thrown.
]

All we ever expected of you was to do your part to help save this world. Thinking for ourselves and acting as needed where others couldn't is what I gathered the Assassins for! [Plans had not always worked out as much but that had a lot to do with the scheming of their enemies and certain investigations being dead ends, or at least less fruitful than she'd hoped. But that didn't mean she took him for granted.]

[Jade takes the Heavy Shot fired at him stoically, swiftly healing himself with Curaga immediately afterwards.]

Really now? I'm flattered. [He doesn't sound very moved.]

You know, I do understand how people like Kalki and Palitutu think. There was a time in the past I might have even agreed with them. However, Kalki's goal... [He shrugs and shakes his head, as though they weren't in the middle of a battle.] There is no meaning in a world without life and death. There would be nowhere left to go. No reason for people to change. And Palitutu... I tried to enact her plan myself in the Sage's vision and turned into a literal monster for it. Makes a man reconsider his priorities, doesn't it?

[Jade smiles glumly, casting Enlightenment to double the party's attack power.]

People like us are not meant to decide the fate of the world, Ales. We get too enamored with our own brilliance to acknowledge when we're wrong.
