EPILOGUE: WARRIORS OF JUSTICE

WARRIORS OF JUSTICE


Conversion is complete...but the virus-

Probably just it's shell. Quick! Reverse the polarity and turn everyone back to normal size! We need to ask them how they did it - and try and stabilize the girl genius!

[Another bright light, but this time, also, the feeling of being squished by gravity as your ears pop. Soon enough, the forms become much clearer - and smaller. Soon enough, the sensation stops - and shouting from vaarious doctors and soldiers can be heard outside of the EPCOT and Diatron-15.]

The virus--!!

Look at the size of that thing!

Stand back, stand back! Let the micronauts have air!

[The shorter of the two men steps forward, and begins to wave their arm.]

Diatron-15! Welcome back! It appears you brought that nasty illness with you, but it can't harm anyone else now, at least! However, we need to find another way to stabilize the girl genius - you took so long her organs began to fail!

Don't worry, though, we will compensate you as promised! Please, please come out so we can put you through a check-up and decontamination! Then we can take this virus in for study!

[Ha. Ha. Hahahaha...

Well, congratulations. You are alive and back to normal size.

Also, those who have powers from before this journey will find they are back.

...

So, what now?]

[strangerpeople]

But it could still threaten the girl genius...!

[strangerpeople]

Wah-ah-ah-ah-ah!!

Oh, I'm pretty certain he's in the video game room with Nancy...

DR. B-E-EE-EE-AA-RR! THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DECON-TA-AA-AAMINATED!!

[strangerpeople]

Don't you have a whip you want to use??

[illusionarymelody]

I'll try it. If not we had some water in the mecha that may help her.

[Vita will walk closer to Ivy. She's going to focus and will quietly say the words "Lux solis medicuri eum".]

[earietale]

[She'll let go of him, possibly throwing him a little bit.]

FINE! Decontaminate me! Whatever! Just let me see him!

[…]

You still can't touch Halley, though!

[crouching_sin]

That’s the stupidest thing imaginable! To put all of your security hopes into a single person... have you never heard of backups or failsafes?!

[ichbindereinzelganger]

We'd have to put it in a saline bag...

[She's actually nearby, being protected by Akira, looking for one.]

[backuphero]

One person?

[Jonathan read the entries concerning this from Halley's point of view. He knows this already. But hearing it in person is entirely different.

Hello wrath. Hello rage. He's... not really missed you all that much, but... right now you're good friends.]

You put all that on ONE PERSON?!

[stealsyourduelist]

I see. [No, he does not. That sounds incredibly stupid.]

...Even I am starting to believe that is a fate you may deserve.

[earietale]

[recordscratch.mp3]

You have...one girl...as your entire defense.

[…]

You people are idiots.

[illusionarymelody]

I don't know what one looks like, but if it will help her then let's do it. I don't know how well my magic will work but it should at least stimulate her body's ability to heal.

[fashionfever]

Fleet? Wait, you basically just drafted us! I don't take kindly to that as an American!

[backuphero]

So I was a damned coward, then. If I end up paying my father's price for it, well... I just won't use it as much as he did. I'll live as long as I can, as well as I can.

[theserpentsmiles]

The first strike is important, yes, but you should always have a second blade! Pinning something that important all on one person is ridiculous, and I'm sure if Ivy-san is as smart as you say, she told you that herself!

[theserpentsmiles]

....the whip....?

[Did he give you some killer weapon.....]

[illusionarymelody]

[Vita has done all she really can for Ivy at this point and will leave it to Halley to find what is needed to use the water if that wasn't enough and then she hears Jonathan. She'll come closer to him.]

You're not a coward.

[fashionfever]

[Also laughing, she hugs Molly in sheer relief]

[strangerpeople]

Of course, her computer brain is unique!

[strangerpeople]

You volunteered!

[backuphero]

According to Halley's journal entries she did.

[BOY OH BOY THEY'RE BOTH DOING THE BLOODFURY THING AT THE SAME TIME AREN'T THEY]

[theserpentsmiles]

Saline... Will this help?

[He got a syringe of saline. He hasn't used it. It's here.]

[theserpentsmiles]

Then these people are doubly stupid for not even listening to their 'girl genius'! It's like--

[They are, but nagisa's surges like powerful muscle bound by scales, coiling around his prey with crushing force.]

It's like they don't even see Ivy-san as a person at all.

[illusionarymelody]

I don't know. But we collected a supply of the water from the river before we came back to the base. It should still be in the mecha and considering what it did for us, it should be able to help her if my magic won't.

[beguiledcard]

[ He nods... ...and then he speaks in a quiet voice. ]

What do you want to do?

[beguiledcard]

Definitely not a coward.
