.....

One gave his life by detonating the Getter's Getter Ray reactor in the middle of a raid. The other pilots died in the process of terraforming Mars, after their Getter went out of control.

-He folds his arms, looking at her-

...I've explained what happens when Getter Rays get out of control.

...But that's not the whole of it, I suppose.

The Getters....They can change. The Getter Rays that power them gives them infinite strength and potential. They can evolve, they can adapt.

The Getter they were using was the most advanced one to date. Immensely powerful, nigh-unstoppable...In the midst of an overwhelming battle....it simply evolved too much. It consumed its enemies, assimilating them, making them a part of itself....and did the same to its pilots.

...It was far and away a much more advanced Getter Robo then the one we're building, however. Light years worth of difference.

...Or become strong enough to overcome it. To control the Getter Rays, not be controlled by them.

I don't see the human race of any universe managing that for a long, long time, however. I've seen it first-hand, I've piloted them. I know what this energy is capable of.

....I have nightmares about that Getter. It continuing to feed, and grow stronger. Of what it could become.

....Of what it will become.

(...This ol' song and dance again, huh?)

Homura: And yet you seek to harness it for grand projects and great threats. (goes silent for a couple moments, as if in thought) Will you permit me to think this over for a bit?

-Link-

We use it for its intended purpose.

After that, I can take it back with me, or you can keep it and do as you like with it.

-Homuhomu-

...Take your time. I won't force this on you.

...

.....They're not evil, the Getter Rays. They're like any other natural force in this universe.

...Mm.

(Link nods. What he'll do with it is a question for another day.)

(For now... it's time for him to follow in the footsteps of the other Champions.)

-Rico retreated to the roof the first chance he got to escape the terror of Big Robot Men...-

...Ho Geeze....thought for sure I was gonna die back there!

.....

-He looks down at the prototype Blaster Blade, resting beside him-

....Sword for heroes, huh...Some hero I am, getting scared like that...

How 'bout you, Mr. Hero?

Homura: In my time, Hayato Jin, I've found that the one's who set out to do evil aren't the ones to be most afraid of. Excuse me.

(spares a long look at Link as she passes by them both for the stairs.)

-He looks around for the sound of the voice referring to him, then notices hhhhHHHHHELLO-

...Uh-....Wh-....Hab-...Gah-...

-Catches himself gawking-

...Yes! Yes- Stargazing, yeah. YYYYEP.


......

-He chuckles, looking up at the ceiling-

...For a kid, she sure talks like an old man.

(Link affirms that he knows a couple of people who managed to keep their youth over the decades...)


Oh yeah? How long've you been up here?

(Mil) ...Define unwell.

-He laughs at the thought of that-

Really, now? Do they share beauty tips?

(Link chuckles - he wouldn't be too surprised.)


Wow, 20 minutes flew by quick. Felt like you got here just now...

(Mil) ...Hrmm. How d'you usually cope?

Heh...

....It's been a long time since I've been somewhere so quiet.


....Well, uh-...Y'know, it COULD have been just now! Y'know-....give or take twenty minutes.

-Mildred-

...Uh oh, sounds like a cold...

foxmccloud4387 Since: Mar, 2011
#1297997: Jan 30th 2018 at 10:22:59 PM

Mm...

(Link definitely agrees about the quiet. Though, in his world's case it's the opposite - the quiet has dominated Hyrule for too long now.)


So... twenty seconds.

...It could be twenty seconds.

...Well- not anymore. Now it'd be twenty two seconds.

-Mildred-

....You....like feeling sick?

Hey, that's something to look forward to, at least.

(Rico) Heh, I figured. So what's up with the lightsaber you got there?


>("Basically...")

(The land of Hyrule was devastated by a Great Calamity one hundred years ago. A world-destroyer, Calamity Ganon, awakened from his slumber, leading the Hyrulean crown to unearth an ancient army of mechanical Guardians to fight him. That army's crown jewels were the four Divine Beasts - the giant robots Link mentioned fighting.)

...

(Ganon took that army for himself, destroying the kingdom. He was sealed away, but his presence cursed the land for a century... and it was only two years ago that Ganon was destroyed. Only then could Hyrule rebuild.)
