-Eiji just takes it and smiles-
Thank you.
-Turns and heads back out of the medical tent-
-to which he ponders...-
("...Now what do I do? Should I call it in early? Maybe try and find Gigolo...")
-Pats his stomach-
("Did I eat yet?")
-Sora decides to pinch John to reaffirm his aliveness-
Feel that?
-Grins-

-Sure enough Winda, it's Gigolo-
I think we both know that's not the truth.
-Eiji-
-That is a fair point-
-If you search perhaps you will find a mess hall-
-LANCE-
Well... they used someone. Trying to trap it I guess. I saw them as they were walking past, it's how I first knew. He looked Arab. Anyway, I saw them taking him through. And when the explosion rocked the base, I saw it. The writing on the wall.
-The other man is silent-
City
-Sora-
Well. That is a relief. As for the other point, I can't see how DIO would know where we live.
-Yugo-
Something up?
-Chris looks from the lady's leg to Silver's reaction, and realisation dawns in his eyes-
Silver's right, we need to-
Too late.
-A circle of blood shines on her leg, a slapdash thing, but closed-
-And even as Chris lunges energy flows through it, keenly visible now to Yugo's eyes-
-There is an explosion of light, and Chris is flung back-
-Dot-
You wanted to understand? You want to join the Ring now? Let this be your first lesson.
(spots Gigolo) Y-yeah... (looks down) He has that mental bond with me, after all. (Gulldos glares at Gigolo until Winda sends Gulldos a telepathic message.) <Stop, Gulldos. He's a friend. If you threaten him some more, I will cut your food off for a year. Got it?> (Gulldos nods in fear. Sweat trickles down the poor bird's face.)

Battlefield
-Eiji finds the mess hall-
-As he walks in, noise around him seems to drop-
-Maybe Gil will find his way here too?-
-As he is now, the soldiers give him a wide, uneasy berth-
-WINDA-
But I know, even then... he's not a demon, is he? Isn't that curious...
-LANCE-
It just hung in the air...
What did it say?
Mene mene tekel uparshin... Dunno if I pronounced that right. But it feels right, you know? Anyway, that seemed to spook them. And it's been cropping up all over ever since... I saw it in one room I slept in, but then they cleared us out of there.
-The other man is silent once more-
Now.... you gonna give me the money?
Ah. Right. Your reward.
-There is an odd tone to the second man's voice-
-Neither have noticed Lance-
City
Up here.
-The lady is floating in the sky-
-But seemingly superimposed over her is something else
-
So... this is the power of that dragon...
-Well, this is some time to recoup at least-
-She's not attacking just yet-
-Dot-
Here's your first lesson: The individual is all.

-Takes her hands away and blinks, looking up at her-
-Not really fazed by the transformation-
I had hoped for a more calm discourse.
-Deep intake of breath-
-And then she resummons the same kind of big, bulky thing she made at the club-
-Except this time-
-They've got small engines on their backs-
-Flying robots, aw yeah-
-They similarly do not attack, hovering in the air in front of Dot-
("Got quiet fast here...")
Uh... Hello.
-Nods to them all and moves to get a tray/bowl/what have you-
("Are we really that big? Well, it makes sense, I guess.")
-Rubs his eyes and looks up at the lady-
Yeah, I don't think "calm" is their thing! Thunder!
-Raises his Keyblade up high and casts a bolt of lightning to shoot down on her-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanCity
-She growls back at the Sneasel-
-The lady looks across at Dot's robots, then down at her-
Then you already do not understand. Let this be your second lesson:
-The ice capsules and lightning impact around her face, and while the superimposed image remains unharmed, her face gets a pretty serious cold burn, and twitches from the electricity-
They seem to understand better.
-John looks at Aven, hesitates, and nods-
-He appreciates the effort-
We find ourselves when we struggle. When we fight.
-And then she is in front of Dot and throwing a fist so fast it has caught fire at her face, while the superimposition's tail lashes out toward Aven-
Battlefield
-LANCE-
-As Lance walks away, he will hear the conversation's remainder, growing ever quieter as he walks away-
Yeah. My reward.
-Footsteps, as one walks closer-
Here it is.
-There is a horrible fleshy sound and the second man gasps-
The truth of the world is this: The strong rule, and they take what they can.
-There is a flash of hot light-
-Then silence-
-But by now he has probably moved far enough that it's not that noticeable-
-WINDA-
Is that right... tell me-
-Gigolo winces suddenly-
... Necessary, unfortunately.
Tell me, what would you do if that bird dies on the battlefield?
-MESS HALL-
-As Gil and Eiji look across the mess hall, it doesn't look like the line is too long-
-And no-one else is standing up for it-
-Some salute as you walk past-
-Others pretend you're not even there-
-Only has the time to throw herself to the side, twisting her body so the punch lands on her shoulder, not her face-
-She is predictably blasted away-
-The robots' hands turn into big, wicked swords-
-And then they surge forward, aiming for whatever stabs they can get-
-But they're kinda dumb so it's not like they're gonna be great at it-

(Winda's sitting on a random bench near the medical tent.)
Who said that?! (looking around for source of voice) Gulldos is just a ordinary bird! (Gulldos caws in agreement)
