Overview
Memories are one of the most important things in your life. They shape everything you are and will become. They change how you feel, how you think, and how you act. What happens when a woman has been given the powers to change that? What happens when this begins to change the memories of The Mythic Knights and make them become different? To change their group dynamic? To even make some of them hate each other? That is what has just happened.

Part 1: Forgotten
The Coffee Break coffee shop was full of people this morning. All around everyone was chattering and talking about something really exciting. Coming up was the big Leo Tournament about to arrive. All across the world, people would gather in Station Square to see one of the most anticipated of the Zodiac tournaments of all time.

Of course that was still just a little bit away, not even 2 months. Now what was important was the scene closer to where Hart was. Neo and his friends all sat around, but with them was a new girl, a tall blue Kitsune-looking mobian wearing a long elegant yellow dress with white shoes. She talked with them and looked like she was having a good time. "Remember that time where we had to fight all those mannequins?" She asked. "And Neo got trapped under an entire pile of them?"

Neo laughed at the memory. "Okay, I wasn't the most cooridnated that day." He said.

"And remember that time when Zapor fainted after Echo kissed him, after we killed that huge monster creature?" Lexi laughed.

Zak looked at her. "Technically, I was the one who killed it. Zapor just fainted after we did that one thing."

"...Wait, I fainted?" Zapor asked.

Saren was listening to the stories being told,  a bottle of rum in his hands as he laughed at Zapor.

"Pfft!" Saren nearly lost the alcohol in his mouth from the story.

Ceilia entered the coffee shop and approached the group while playing with the device on her arm. "Guys there's been something really weird going..." She looked up at the group and stared at Tallis. "Who the hell are you?"

Tallis laughed and placed her hand on her shoulder. "The same thing I said to you when we first met?" Ceilia's mind shifted to when Station Square was under a threat of a technological virus. Ceilia answered the door and Tallis called out the same words.

"I just...couldn't help myself." Ceilia cracked a small smile. "Anyway, so there have been reports that there is some weird energy going around town today. Normally with the Aries tournament coming up we would get this all the time, but I've been doing some investigating and right when the energy curve started a couple of archeologists discovered an artifact." She looked up. "I think it's from that weird cult."

"The Order of the Scythe?" Zero asked. "You think the Remnents might be around?"

"It's a possibility." Ceilia said. "I think we should look into it."

"I agree." Tallis said. "If there's anything there we should check it out."

"How do you wanna do that?" Neo asked. "There's not much we can do."

"Ceilia, give me the dig-site location, Zero, Zapor, Lexi, and Apollo can come with me. Probably take Echo with us too. Neo, you and everyone else should go find the archeologists, they might have the artifact still on them." Tallis declared.

Neo's eyes were half closed as he looked down in deep thought. "Wait...you're not the leader of..." He started to say, with Tallis putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Yes, I am." Tallis forced a memory of her coming up with the Mythic Knights in Nobbel and convincing everyone to join together as a group. "Don't you remember?"

"I suppose I just forgot..." Neo muttered quietly. "Not feeling like myself today."

"Might be the energy disruption." Ceilia said with the start of a smile. "Aren't you allergic to chaos energy?"

"He totally is." Trinity muttered.

"Not the point..." Neo said.

"Well then, lead away, captain Tallis!" Zapor said.

"Oh Cap'n my cap'n!" Saren mumbled before cracking up yet again. "But anyways.. Lead on lady.."

(Sorry for the wait, got a new computer and setting it up has been a bit of a pain...-Neo)

Part 2 (A): Can you dig it?
The dig site of the artifact was a mess of dirt and tools strewn about all over the place. there were tunnels all around and yet no one was in sight. "Strange." Zero noted.

"Zapor take Echo with you and check one of those tunnels." Tallis noted.

"You got it." Zapor said, then took Echo's hand. "M'lady." He then lead her into the tunnel

Zapor and Echo entered to find a whole lot of dim light in the tunnels. "Just darkness..." Echo muttered.

Yet as she said that, a feminine voice whispered in both of their ears. "Hey..." It whispered. "If you want to know more about Radon, head in..."

Echo's eyes widened. "Did you hear that?" She asked Zapor.

"Pretty hard not to." Zapor told Echo. "Who was that?"

"I don't know..." Echo noted. "But...I think we should do what she says."

Zapor nodded, and led her deeper into the tunnel. 'You see anything?" Zapor asked as they went in deeper.

As the group descended deeper they found two people standing at the bottom of the cave. One was the red fox girl who previously fought with Radon using an umbrella and clay soldier. The other was a man in thick grey armor who appeared to be a human. "We're glad you could come." The man said. "My name is Mercury, and this is Red. We have some things to tell you Zapor and Echo."

"1. Who are you guys? 2. How did you get here? And 3. Like what?" Zapor asked.

"We've told you who we are." Red said in a ridiculously child-like voice. "We just sory of got here waiting and then we come to this..."

"Radon is going to be using something big here soon, the man's lost it." Mercury told them. "He has betrayed The Wicked, and now we he is trying come up with some crazy potion theory after having some...misguided attempts to do other things. We don't knw what it is, but he is getting closer to accomplishing this goal. You two are the only ones who can have the power in time to stop him."

"Zapor, how do you feel about shots?" Red asked.

"...Like a, gunshot?" Zapor asked in a naive tone.

Rose sighed, pulled her sryinge out and gave Zapor the shot. "No, a medical one."

"The Echo Project." Mercury began. "Was originally started by Doctor Radon and Doctor Carbon, who were set on using it to create medical technology. The orignal was used and put into six unknown test subjects but the results remain inconclusive. Later, after Doctor Carbon's mysterious death, Doctor Radon began using the assets of the experiment to create the ultimate weapon, a copy cat. Someone who can see someone perform an action and perfectly recipracate the same action. This includes the ability to use kinesis and magic. The original was a failure who could only copy and use one person's abilities, he's known as Alpha. Bravo, Charlie, and Delta were closer, but they could only copy so much, which is where the next installment went; Echo. Someone who could copy abilities perfectly."

"However as I recall you were unstable and eventually your powers were locked into a deck of ever-growing cards." Red told them. "However you rely on chance, you can only use an ability in the deck if you draw the card, however we can unlock those abilities for a short moment, allowing you to use all of them whenever you wish. I don't know if it will be enough with the experiments Radon has come up with." She turned to Zapor. "Zapor, I have injected you with a sample of the Echo Project serum. We need someone close to Echo, but due to most mobian's physiology they would not survive being given that serum, it would more than likely stun their heart and kill them."

"But you are not most mobians, you're natural rate of regeneration is astounding, you are most likely the only normal mobian who could survive the serum to use it's effects." Mercury nodded. "Once the affects have set in, you should be able to enter a heightend state of power, we call it full potential."

"Woah..." Zapor said under his breath.

"Indeed, the power-" Mercury started to say.

"We're not alone." Red blurted out, her eyes flashed purple. "We've all been betrayed."

Tallis looked around the area, cocking her head to the side as she noticed someone on the far side of the dig site, opposite of Echo and Zapor. They were hunched over. "Is someone hurt?" She asked.

Lexi looked to where Tallis was looking.

"Right there..." Tallis noted. "I think there's someone hurt." She quickly walked over to the area to find a young woman covered in cuts. "Are you okay?" Tallis asked.

"I was attacked..." The woman said. "By a man in a blindfold..."

"A man in a blind fold?" Zero said, pulling his scythe up and looking around.

"Are you an archeologist?" Lexi asked.

"Yes." The woman said. "I am a member of History's Book, the Historian's guild, and was sent to help with the location of this artifact when we were attacked."

"Sounds like a Remnent of the Scythe." Zero noted.

"Man, either those guys really want no one touching it, or they just really want it." Lexi muttered.

"Who are they?" The woman asked.

"In short, a group a bad guys.' Lexi told the woman.

"But to be after an artifact like that..." The woman said. "What could they be doing with it?"

"What do you mean?" Zero asked.

"That artifact was magically enhanced, it has the ability, in the right hands, to negate every magical and kinesis ability." The woman explained.

"Why would they want to negate every magic ability?" Lexi asked.

"Oh I get it now..." Zero said. "They're trying to combat against the Echo Project."

Part 2 (B): The museum
The musuem was full of very high class people all over the place, talking to one another and being very loud. While this provided a good cover for anyone to come in, it also made sure that weapons had to be hidden and that combat obviously was a no go.

"When did we meet Tallis?" Leah asked.

"Well, you met everyone when we came to your village." Neo pointed out.

"I'm just not really sure if we can trust her." Leah said. "I really don't feel good about her."

"Leah, listen, I've known Tallis for a really long time, I trust her more than anyone." Neo told her. "Now we need to look for someone with the artifact."

"Then we might as well look for someone with a suspicious bag." Zak said.

"Hey guys, you think anyone would notice if I were to 'liberate' a few priceless things? from this museum..'

"You are not stealing." Leah said. "We agreed that we would play by the rules of the law when we became a group, that includes not stealing."

Neo looked over everyone until he spotted an injured elderly man. "Something's not right." Neo said, his head throbbed with pain again. "There must really be a lot of chaos energy going around..."

"Saren, let's try scaring that guy." Trinity whispered.

Zak looked at the injured elderly man, then back at Neo. "You alright?"

"Not really...feeling pretty sick..." Neo said.

"Really?" Kala asked. "You don't sense sick and you aren't hurt either Master. Your aura is perfectly fine."

"Maybe someone is sending brainwaves that are affecting him." Zak noted.

"I can't really see the mind, so I guess that possible." Kala said.

"I doubt anyone is sending me brainwaves or anything." Neo said. "The chaotic energy in Station Square has always been high around this time of year."

"Wait.. I agreed to that? I must have been drunk." Saren asked Leah before nodding at Trinity.

"No, you aren't allowed to drink in the village." Leah rolled her eyes. "Ages and I made sure of that."

Trinity carefully moved around the people towards the old man motioning for Saren to pull his scythe out and scare him."

Saren pulled out his scythe and attempted to scare the old man by lightly tapping the old man's head with the scythe.

The old man gasped in fear after seeing the scythe and jumped back a bit, causing Trinity to smirk and laugh to herself.

"I am the ghost of the museum.. If you want to live you shall give me tour wallet and leave this place!" Saren said in a spooky manner as he kept floating for dramatic effect.

"Yeah, go ahead. Put the poor guy into an early grave. Great idea, Saren." The sarcastic voice behind him unmistakably belonged to Rose, but if anyone turned to look they'd notice that she was alone. This was rather unusual given that Argent and Anderson were always seen with her up until this point.

"Wouldn't exactly be early."

Trinity still snickered in the back of the group.

"He still has information, we can't scare him to death." Neo said, staring at Trinity. "Look, sir, we need some information, what did you find at the dig-site?"

"Do you still have it on you?" Kala asked.

"The...the artifact?" The old man said. "Yes, I recall, that I had brought it here, but I don't remember what happened to it..."

"Oh? That's a shame..." Trinity said, her normal firery eyes, tinged indigo. "I suppose it's time, I stopped playing this stupid game."

Part 3: Betrayal (Tallis' Group)
"What do you mean?" Tallis said to Zero. "What are you talking about?"

Before Zero could answer a man, in dark clothes and a blindfold apparated in front of the group. "Zero, our mission has changed, execute Echo and her friends, now!"

"You want me to what?" Zero asked.

"Do as I command!" The man said. His hand balled into a fist.

Zero doubled over in pain, before his normal grey eyes were tinged red. "Yes, I understand." Zero pulled her scythe towards the group swinging it into an arc which was blocked by Tallis' bladed fan.

"We've been betrayed." Tallis spat.

Zak took out his monondo and switched to sheild mode. "Zero, what're you doing?"

Zero held his scythe up high and launched it down with all of his might at Zak.

Zak tried blocking the scythe with his sword, but was knocked back a bit. Zero quickly struck down again towards the kirby.

The blindfolded man began an assault on Tallis and the two of them were really quick in their attacks, to the point of it almost being unseeable.

Zak changed into speed mode, dodging the attach and running around Zero to get behind him.

Zero slammed his scythe into the ground, releasing a nova of darkness around him.

Zak got blown back by the nova of darkness.

Zero sent another wave of darkness at Zak.

Zak managed to dodge the attack, but slightly took some damage on the side of his face.

"This is the part where you die." Zero growled at Zak. "I will be your destruction, you abomination of a being."

Part 3: Deception (Zapor's Group)
Just as Red finished her sentence Apollo quickly rushed forward, bashing his shield into the girl and knocking her out. He turned to Zapor and Echo. "My name is Apollo Alpha Radon." He started, pulling his shield up. "And it's time my sister came home." He thrust his shield forward, a ray of dark moonlight hit the girl, which caused her entire deck of cards to spill out and for Echo to start to flash a dark grey color.

"Zapor, the affects have not taken place yet. You need to go somewhere safe!" Mercury called, pulling his large sword to the ready.

"Wait, what? I can't just leave Echo!" Zapor called back, pulling his pistols to be at ready.

"If Echo dies, you are the only one who can save all of us!" Mercury said.

"Shut up." Apollo too his sword and very quickly cut Mercury down in an array of blue light, knocking the knight down. "I've always wanted to end you." Apollo said. "Of course that isn't possible, but I'll make sure you wish you were dead." He pointed his sword at Echo's neck. "One way or another."

"Huh!" Before Apollo had a chance to react to the rapidly approaching footsteps, a katana scooped beneath his blade and threw his arm upward, before the vixen wielding it thrusted the blade toward him at full force.

Zapor stood to see who the one with the katana was, though it was pretty obvious if he recognized it.

With her back towards Zapor, the only details he'd be able to make out were that she had pink fur and wore a set of black and crimson armor. Otherwise, it was nobody that he knew.

Apollo quickly jumped back, and readied himself. "Alright, I'll take you both on." He said. "Let's see how you compare to a war-machine."

Echo began to flash more frequently.

Zapor looked at Echo with a worried expression.

Echo's eyes were getting darker, almost turning red. A hum of pain could be heard emitting from her.

Apollo smirked. "Even if you kill me, my job is done."

The cat girl slowly began to stop flashing, her fur stormy-grey.

Zapor glared at Apollo. "I"m not gonna kill you. I'm gonna slaughter with my bare hands!" He then looked at Echo. " Echo?"

The vixen took one glance over to Echo, then back to her adversary. "What a shame. My job is only done when I kill you." She sheathed her blade and held it above her head, the scabbard growing red as it charged up.

"Cataclysm." After a few seconds, the vixen unleashed the blade and struck the ground, sending forward a tremor that broke apart the ground as it moved, creating a wall of stone at the end.

Apollo grabbed his sword, and did the exact same thing. "I don't think you fully understand, everything that either of you do, I can do, but stronger." Apollo walked forward. "Every single thing, from all of you attacks to regenerating. I'm going to make sure that once I'm done here, I'm going to kill everyone that you know. Neo, Trinity, Fate, I'm going to kill all of them."

"No... you're not..." Echo heaved from her spot and in a flash she had dashed over to Apollo, grabbed his sword's blade and shattered it with her hands. Her back was arched, her fingers had claws, Echo had become a monster.

Apollo quickly jumped back. "Oh crap." He quickly slammed his shield onto the ground, causing him to disappear in a flash of soft blue light, leaving Echo standing in the middle of the cave.

The vixen charged toward Apollo, putting aside her honor just to attack an unarmed foe... only to slice the air as he made his escape. Now, she had Echo to worry about. She couldn't tell if she was in control of her actions, and didn't come in with a plan to subdue her if she wasn't.

"Echo?" Zapor said, slowly walking to her. "Are you still...cool?"

Echo turned to face the two of them, her expression dark and heavy, she snarled at them before rushing to the vixen, and unleashing a barrage of fire, ice, and lightning magic.

"Null Force!" The vixen held her hand out and met the multi-elemental attack with a white, spherical vortex. It effectively nullified each element for easier containment, but not the destructive power. With that power having nowhere else to go, she detonated the sphere, forcing Echo away as well as herself.

Echo quickly followed through clawing at the vixen, using Zapor's regeneration to hear her wounds.

Zapor tried getting in her way to get her to stop attacking the vixen, not using his fire powers to make sure that he didn't hurt her. "Echo, chill out!"

Upon hearing Zapor's words, Echo stopped, turned to face Zapor and for a few seconds stared at him, before running over to attack.

Part 3: Treason (Neo's Group)
"What do you mean?" Neo asked.

Trinity knocked her fists together and erupted in flames. Her eyes remained the same. "Sorry, I'm only following orders." Trinity smirked and in lightning fast speed began to throw daggers at everyone in the room, Neo managed to block his, Leah swung her staff so hers and the old man's were taken care of, Ceilia pulled her bow and shot the dagger out of the air, Kala quickly threw a weak ball of fire and took out the dagger.

"Trinity..." Neo sighed sadly.

The Reaper reacted with lightning speed, intercepting the dagger aimed toward Rose and catching the blade between her fingers.

"Are you freaking serious. I literally just got here, and you decide that now's the perfect time to turn your back on the only people who stood by you when Adam wanted to tear your damn throat out?" Rose sighed. "Well, I guess I can't hold it against you. You've got your orders, and my Stand has hers. And I'm ordering her to kick your ass."

The Reaper simply flicked the knife back at Trinity. Rose didn't seem to care if the knife hit Trinity or not.

Trinity's flames burned brighter, melting the dagger. "Then shut the hell up and sic your little doll on me."

Kala cocked her head to the side, staring at the flames.

"Can you do anything about her fire?" Ceilia asked Leah and Kala.

"That fire isn't normal." Leah noted. "There is no magic that can tame that thing. The combination of holy and fire kinesis is unheard of. Trinity is the only one I know of who can wield it."

"Nuts..this is nuts." Lexi said to herself.

"If you can't do anything about her flames, then we'll just have to take her down as quickly as possible. She'll burn the place down on us if we don't." Rose said.

Trinity pulled her arms back and thrust a large spire of flames towards the group.

Kala quickly did a few steps of a dance and created a large shield of arcane energy blocking the fire. "Something isn't right." She noted. "I need you all to buy me some time."

"I don't understand why is she doing this?" Neo asked.

"What if it's not her?" Ceilia asked. "When you guys were in Reale, didn't you all wind up getting knocked out? What if they did something to her then?"

"Or the time when that virus thing was going to infect every cyborg in the city?" Leah asked.

"Or litterally any moment we were in Nobbel." Kala nodded. "This does not feel right at all."

Trinity took a few more steps forwards, knocking her fists together again, this time, giving her fur the look of fire. "Phoenix Up 2!" She called, her flames getting more intense.

The magic shield Kala held was beginning to crack, and Leah began to cast an ice barrier around. "I'll hold the spell, do what you need to do." Leah told the genie.

"Rose, Saren, help me get her attention away from Kala." Ceilia said. "That shield isn't going to hold forever."

"Lexi, let's try to distract her." Neo said.

"As long as I'm not paying for the damages." Rose said.

The Reaper lifted up a chunk of the flooring tile, hurling it at Trinity.

Lexi nodded, then got then got the spikes on her arm spiked up. "Just tell me what to do."

"Throw your spikes!" Neo commanded.

Lexi swung her arm, which caused the spikes to fly at Trinity.

Trinity took a second to hesitate before she could decide which one to block, this however caused both of them to hit her, increasing her rage.

"On the upside, Phoenix up makes her dumb." Neo said. "On the down side, the more damage we do to her, the more powerful she gets..."

Trinity quickly rushed to Lexi bringing both her daggers down towards the girl's spine.

The Reaper grabbed Trinity from behind, forcing her arms back.

Saren had avoided his dagger by phasing through it, he looked at Trinity with narrowed eyes.

(Best I could come up with for stuff that happened while I'm at work ^^ -Saren)

"Oh? Orders from who exactly?" He asked as he floated towards Trinity, one of his hands inside his coat.

Trinity gave a flash of flame, sending a furious explosive wave of fire and holy power all around her. The top of her fur was starting to looked singed and it was clear that for some reason she was hurting herself with all of this fire.

Kala danced a little more, a spot on her chest glowing very brightly. "Oh heart of purest energies, help me heal those who are hurt and save the ones I care about...Happy Heart!" A just as explosive wave of soft red and violet light emerged from Kala, covering everyone in the room, giving a warm feeling while healing them and recovering their fatigue, Trinity stopped with her explosion, and her fire was put out, the tinge to her eyes slowly faded and her pupils returned to the look of embers before she fell over in the reapers hands, unconsious.

Saren's fur was singed and charred, kinda like in the old looney toons cartoons. "Well... This is going to suck.." He blinked.

".. Next person who tries stopping me from getting hung over is getting a boot to the head."

Rose wiped the sweat off of her face, having felt the intense heat through her Stand's direct contact with Trinity. "That... was not how I wanted to start my day." She looked over to Leah. "Hey, person I've never met before. You know about Trinity's powers, I don't. If she went on like that any longer, would she have burned herself to ashes?"

"Eventually she would have, the fire itself was burning her, it's obvious she was taking damage herself." Leah said.

Saren pulled out a vial and... chugged it?

Lexi looked at Saren, suprised that he found this a good time to be chugging whatever was in the vial.

Neo looked down and very quickly he widened his eyes. "What about the others?" He asked. "Ceilia, take Trinity back to the house, Ages should have something to lock her in, we'll figure out what to do with her once we're done. We need to get to the dig-site, now!"

Saren looked at Lexi. "Don't question it, right now I need this."

"We need to get going." Neo said. "If the others are like this..."

"I'll get Trinity there." Ceilia nodded, picking Trinity up and heading for Tranquil Manor.

"Then the rest of us need to go too." Neo said.

Part 4: Inner Demons
Upon arriving at the Dig site they were treated to a sight of Zero holding his scythe over the wounded Zak, with Tallis and the blindfolded man locked in combat.

"Zero has betrayed us too." Neo sighed. "I can't believe it..."

"Zak!" Lexi called out to her wounded friend. Zak had a medium sized cut on his left cheek, and showed some signs of battle damage.

Leah very quickly teleported to Zero, quickly parrying his scythe with her staff. "Kala, get him!"

Kala very quickly danced and began healing Zak. Her eyes wide. "Zak's aura is damaged..." She said. "It's like Zero was attacking his soul. No wonder he's hurt so much."

"Can you fix him?" Neo asked.

"I think I might be able to."

Leah thrusted out with her staff, quickly knocking the scythe back and slightly cut Zero, causing him to bleed. Zero's blood was noticably black.

Lexi looked over at Zak, worried.

Saren tossed two throwing knives at Zero. A cold look on his face. "Y'know.. I hate traitors oh so very much.."

"Mind if I cut in? I second that opinion." Rose said, ordering The Reaper to attack Zero with her sickles.

Zero drew down his scythe, deflecting the projectiles and tip of his scythe into the ground. From here it was easy to see that his face was expression less, with no signs of emotion or anything on it. His eyes were obviously tinged red and he stared directly at them.

Andrew and Tallis' fight began to slow down, Andrew seemed to have taken quite a bit of damage while Tallis seemed pretty unscathed.

Saren twirled his own scythe, running at Zero with a cold look on his face. Though Zero might note that Saren had one hand in his coat pocket.

Perhaps as a form of insurance, The Reaper tried taking Zero's attention away from Saren by clashing blades with his scythe.

Zero oddly enough, disappeared, and in his place stood, what appeared to be Fey.

Meanwhile in the cave, Echo stared at Zapor directly in the face as she clawed her way at him. Using Neo's attack patterns, and a bit of Zero's umbrakinesis.

Zapor managed to avoid some of her attacks, but his jacket was getting ripped in the process. "Echo, I don't want to fight you! Honestly because I'm against fighting my friends, but you need to snap out of whatever Apollo did!"

Echo crouched over onto the ground, much like a wolf would when staring at it's prey. She glared at Zapor menacingly.

"She can't hear you right now." Aero's words whispered in Zapor's ear. "This is the true product of The Echo Project, to create the ultimate war machine, this girl is exactly what it is. This is the true Echo Serene."

"I suppose it makes sense." Another voice said, one that was strange and different, with a heavy accent on it. "After all these are the rules of the world, and there is no one  in the world who can change the rules life has set out for us. There was no real person, all she ever was and ever will be is an animal."

"Well Mr. Voice in my head and Captain oblivious to everyone, you aren't exactly giving me much to go on." Zapor muttered, then looked at Echo. "Ok Zapor, Echo is glaring at you like she's gonna beat you like an egg. But the kitty cat we all know is still there. Inside a raging tiger. She heard you for a split second, so all you need to do is bring back the good Echo without hurting her." Zapor muttered to himself.

The vixen tightened her grip on the blade, the cave becoming colder all of a sudden. She had a plan... it wasn't much of a plan, but she had one. If she could just wear her down using her frost magic...

Echo quickly smashed her fists together, coping Trinity's combustion and lighting up the entire place. It was clear that ice magic was not something that could affect her. Echo quickly continuted her assualt on Zapor, unleashing waves of Neo's wind, sharp like blades, at Zapor.

"You don't actually believe that, do you sir?" Aero asked.

"Not a chance." The accented voice. "Echo is still there, but combat is going to do nothing but increase her rage. I suppose in this instance, that red foal, Zapor, is the only one who can save her now."

"Face the wind!" The vixen dashed to Zapor's aid, throwing up a wall of wind. It would stop projectiles, but not Echo.

Echo jumped back, looking over the wall for second, seemingly confused by it.
