Eighty-Second Launch

[Video]

[Athrun looks pretty distraught on the feed. He seems to be indoors, as well. He's been watching the news, so he knows about the Pokémon Centers in Goldenrod, Ecruteak, and Saffron getting destroyed.]

I don't know if everyone's heard, but there's been a series of attacks in three cities. It's all over the news.

Something needs to be done. I don't want to see any more attacks than those that have already happened. I'm going to start patrolling the city. Anyone else in Vermilion interested in helping can let me know; I'll take all the help I can get.

[Video; PGC filter]

Do we have any idea what's going on here? Is it the usual, or someone else?

[Video; Filtered to Miki]

Miki, where are you? We need to talk.

...Digital world?

[Athrun can't help but feel that this conversation is getting weirder and weirder.]

[howamanlives]

... Long story. Point is, he was powerful and I beat him.

[infinitejustice]

With some sort of ability, right?

[howamanlives]

... You could say that. What does it matter?

[infinitejustice]

Because all special powers and abilities are stripped from us upon arrival. We're all normal humans.

[howamanlives]

... Okay, but that can all be overcome with spirit!

[infinitejustice]

Spirit won't overcome a creature that can rip through the hull of a supertanker with the abilities of a normal human.

[Sorry, Masaru, but you're talking to a Gundam protagonist that isn't Domon Kasshu.]

[howamanlives]

... Hmph.

We'll just see, then!
