“Karn, what happened?” he asks you, a note of worry in his voice now. “If she did something else and was able to hide it, I need to know.”
“She froze everything, even Chilli and I.” you tell him, the wizened demon's brows shooting up in surprise. You tell Mechikabura everything you'd told Towa, watching his face and gauging his reactions. He nods along with what the Kai tells Chilli, but as he hears what she told you his entire complexion pales noticeably, the Demon God looking down at his right hand as it trembles slightly. You explain what she told you, then the final words she gave before disappearing. Clenching his fist to stop the shaking, Mechikabura takes a deep breath in, sighing out before speaking to you again.
“Thank you, for telling me this.” Mechikabura says, sounding tired and <span class="mu-i">old</span>. “That she could further use her powers, even beyond what I remember from the last time... It must be true. If I'm not the first she's battled more than once, then I must change my plans immediately. If she thinks events will play out like 'they always do', then I must ensure they do not. I know this must have been difficult for you to say, worried I would betray you again. But know this, Karn. Divine Dragon Force. I swear upon my power that I will NEVER betray you.”
As the Demon God speaks those words everything goes dark, the blackness drowning out even your Berserker form's glowing aura. Leaving only the old Demon God before you in the void. But then that moment passes, Mechikabura sighing once more as he stands up on his feet.
“You have given me much to reconsider, there is much work to be done.” Mechikabura says, creating his portal once more behind him. “Until next time.”
Then without another word the Demon God turns, walking into his portal back to wherever he goes. Fu following along with a wave to you all. But Dumplin doesn't immediately go back, staring up at you in silence for several seconds before following the others. And once he leaves the portal shuts, leaving you, Towa, Future Chaya, Ace, and Meloka all here in her lab.
What now? Who do you spend time with next?
