“Easy, it's me.” you say quietly, holding your hands out towards them. “We need a plan. There's got to be a way to save them.”
“They're still back at the sight of the prison, where we tried to stop it.” Guldo says. “After it ate them, they started turning transparent.”
“That is because Commeson drained them of everything. Soon they'll fade away into nothing, leaving only Commeson behind.” Potage tells you. “If Commeson is not stopped before they fade away entirely, your friends will be gone forever.”
“So, how do we stop it?” you ask, the elderly man raising a hand to his beard, stroking it as he thinks. “There has to be something.”
“If you can break its core, Commeson will lose its grip on everyone it captured.” he tells you. “It is a small, yellow crystal, somewhere inside one of the bodies he makes. If its broken, his hold on all of them will end and then he can be sealed back away.”
“Alright, so how do we find it?” Guldo asks, to which the elderly alien sighs out.
“I don't know. The only way to know for sure is to check them all, one by one.” he says, to which you interject.
“When I blew Jeice away, I didn't see a crystal in him.” you say, the old man nodding.
“Very well, it isn't inside him. But it has to be in one of them. Either in one of those pirates, or someone else on your team.” the elderly man says. “Just do not let Commeson envelop you. He will drain away your powers and abilities, leaving you an empty husk as well until you vanish.”
“Karn. Leave finding Commeson's core to me.” Guldo says, eyes meeting your own. “I'll kill this bastard. Just keep them busy while I hunt it down, if they all gang up on me or figure out what I'm doing, I can't stop them all.”
“Keep 'em busy, huh? I reckon I can do that.” you reply with a smirk, turning back to the old man. “Hey, Potage, right? You'd better find somewhere safe to hunker down, until we're done. Don't want it to get you too.”
“I have to go back to the prison. The seal is still there somewhere, without it Commeson cannot be sealed back away. I must find it while you two work on defeating this monster.” he says seriously, you nodding to him.
“Alright, good luck. Guldo, stay in telepathic communication with him, just in case he gets into trouble.” you tell him, dropping the suppression on your power so your strength rises exponentially. “I'm going to make a bit of noise.”
