[ Needless to say, the limit break surprised her and she wasn't fast enough to react and counter it. Even if she had been, the Job hadn't been designed to wisthand that sort of assault. She was pretty badly hurt-- But yet she managed to laugh, weakly so as Saori held her hands. ]

That's not bad at all... So that's what Lady Kalki warned us about.

[ The illusions all faded within an instant, but at the same time the woman disappeared, away from Saori's grip. The way she disappeared was different from the illusions though, more alike to a teleportation spell. Her voice can be heard, but the woman is nowhere to be seen. ]

Maybe you could have killed me if you weren't alone. For now... You still can, if you so choose. Or you could go protect your three other friends before my illusions cause them to die as well.

[ The invisible barrier that blocked her path away earlier would be now gone; but she has to choose between protecting the crystal or going to protect the others. ]

Damn it!

[She punched the floor and bit her lip to stop herself short from crying. The lady was right. There were only two options now. It's not like she could take the crystal with her, right? The woman had to use a spell in her attempt to extract it. At the same time, she implied she would go after Ales and the others.

Saori fell back to sit onto the floor. Brigid noticed her hero's hands were shaking. The moogle didn't have to be told to get another potion. As Saori drank it down, she began to calm down. She stood up and looked at the crystal. A part of her wanted to get a better look at it. ]

She said the spell she tried to use took a lot of time. Still, if only I could take it with me...

[melodiesdungeons]

[ The longer she'll stare at the crystal, the more Saori will feel instinctively attracted to it, nearly as if the black crystal compelled her to grab it. But before she could do so, a voice will ring in her head if she approaches it, strong and alarmed: ]

Don't take it!

[ The voice will soon fade. She may recognize it as the same voice that told her to Wake Up when she first arrived in Aqures Ixen. ]

[needsteaplz]

[If it wasn't for the voice she would've touched it. Immediately she pulled her hand back. She was about to ask Brigid if she heard that but there was more pressing details at hand. ]

Right. We got to let Ales and the others know about her. Now for Genesis....

[Genesis' s body hadn't crystallized just yet when Saori turned to her. Saori, as someone who had died but got better in her world, she had a great respect towards the deceased. She carefully moved Genesis onto her back and wiped the blood off her face with a spare handkerchief she had. Her attention turned to poor Monty and she went over to the moogle and hugged him. ]

I'm sorry, sweetie. I won't push you to stay with me if you don't want to but I need to let Ales and the others know what's going on, okay? Be safe, little one.

[Monty gave her a nod. He decided to stay close to Brigid and Saori. Her own moogle focused on comforting him as the trio leave the room to find the others. ]

[melodiesdungeons]

[ If she is to backtrack, she'll be able to realize that even though the lockdown is still going on, not only the invisible barrier is gone, but so are all the mechas and illusions. Somehow, this place feels a lot less oppressing without all the illusions and killer robots. She will be able to go where Luke, Ales and Gaara went if she so wishes, but the door leading to the room they are in is locked...

Mod Note: this will have to be continued in the Boss Battle thread as soon as the other group will have unlocked it. ]
