Invisible AS

[prismphantom]

[She can't believe her eyes.  Coming back from the battle, used by Albhard and Elma...]

That's... that thing we found plans for!

That's right... AS-04 Soleares.  All the new features in it worked like a charm out there, and it held its own even without breaking out the Gesterben's Blade Railgun.

I didn't want to bother you about it after... what happened.  But when you're finally ready to go out in just anything.  This... it's Team Jelba's legacy, born from everyone's machines.  If it can help you... help your heart, so much the better.

Albhard, you didn't have to... we still don't even know the origin of this thing-



And we still don't know who originally had my Grungust.  But if you'd rather we keep this locked away somewhere, fortunately it has some active camo for just the occasion.



No, it's fine... it's... even more than that.  Albhard, Elma...



Gracias...

[And a short while later, Selena's just, looking up at the new machine.  There's quite the story behind it, to say the least.]

The Soleares, is it? I have witnessed it on the battlefield. It is a machine that should fit your fighting style well.

[prismphantom]

It helps that so much of it uses a Gespenst or Huckebein as a base. Done my fair share of piloting both... and Elma'll be there to help pick up the slack too.

[abugslife]

Not just that. It is a very stealthy, deceptive and agile machine. Soleares is twice the ninja Gesterben was. If Albhard was able to sneak right up to the enemy champion with it, imagine what you will be able to do.

[prismphantom]

I don't need to imagine, and what matters if it can do just one thing: kill that Balmarian woman.

[abugslife]

Is revenge what gives you the strength to go on now? Watch out with that. It might drive you forward, but it might also blind you. Do not let it overcome your senses.

[prismphantom]

Revenge isn't everything, but it's there. I know it may seem naive and selfish, considering what you had to do... but she's responsible for the death of the people who were closest to me. The Balmarians aren't liable to give up on Earth just because, and people like her need to be stopped.

And I'd rather not see tight-knit units go the way of the Glory Stars or Team Jelba.

[abugslife]

Oh, I am not saying to just let her go. She has to pay for her actions, and if we do not kill her, more people will share the fate of Team Jelba.

But desire for revenge is an emotion. Emotions that burn the brightest are the easiest to exploit. Do not let anyone exploit yours.
