“Sure thing. Not like I’m going anywhere.” she responds cheekily.
“Also, maybe some insulation foam sealant for that big flaming hole.” you comment in an equally cheeky tone.
“Har har, Gohan.”
“Could be Katchin~!”
“...Can you even make a metal foam out of that?” Pantea wonders, mostly to herself. “I mean I guess that’s possible, but the weight… hrmn…”
While she’s thinking on that, you land in a tree a bit away from Lapis. He’s staring down several people dressed in khaki safari outfits, armed with what look to be standard firearms, though some are in mechs… and some strange robots. Poachers, but surprisingly well-equipped ones.
Lapis casually puts his hands in his pockets. “Come on guys, do we really need to go through this same routine?”
“W-we’re not scared of you, Ranger!” one of them declares shakily, pointing his gun at Lapis and gulping loudly. “The payout for this one is too great for us to ignore!”
Lapis sighs dramatically and brushes his right hand through his hair. “Is this like, just a distraction or something? Because you KNOW you can’t get through me with those.” he points at the strange robots.
“We’ll see about that! Behold, the Pod Corporation’s final and greatest creation! Formation MOGUERA!”
The strange robots start to move together, a total of seven of them lifting up into the air. Ohhhh, it’s a combiner. Yeah that tracks. Pantea’s mumbling stops suddenly though, and she asks you, “Wait did he say Pod Corporation?”
However, even as the machines start to fit together… Lapis casually uses the Geist Magnum with one hand to knock each of them off-balance, with them crashing into one another and, while not destroyed, fall back in their uncombined states. There are gasps from the various poachers, even indignant ones. “Y-you have no SHAME! You would attack them during the combination sequence?!”
“Yes. I only give heroes the benefit of a doubt in transformations like that.” he states flatly, taking the other hand out of his pocket and cracking his knuckles. “You guys are no heroes.”
