*sees the imagine of Amano coming into view.* eh? what's this? *hears the boy as the boy falls to his knees* i don't know what's going on, but i'm going to take advantage of it. *uses his NOSE and sends himself to where Amano is.* okay, young man! it's about time you see things my way.
-----something werid is going on...to say the least

Opens his comm to all channels. "I am calling Dornkirk's soldier. The one that is leaving the fiery wreckage. Are you okay? Do you need assistance? I am King Aston! I am here with my army! We can help you if you require it!"
-----being the friendly ally

*gently rubs his cheek blinking back the tears* why did dilandau-sama hit me? i'm not shesta. *listens to dilly-boy's orders.* i know why now. he's calling for backup. i've failed him! i've failed my dilandua-sama! i'm worthless! i'm nothing! i shouldn't even be in his presense!
-----whaaaaaaa...i've failed my dilly-boy!

Hears Dilly-boy speaking on Guimel's comm with his cat ears. Keeps his eyes on the Escaflowne. Ah, backup. Good, we need it. Hears familiar voices below him. Peers over the guymelf's hand. Sees movement on the lower leg. Narrows his eyes. Recognizes the figures.
-----that's just great, hitchhikers!

what's that fat king up to? why is he here? *sees Escaflowne by the Crusade. remembers dornkirk's orders. frowns. flips on his comm* GUIMEL!!!! YOU IDIOT!!!!! GET OUT OF THERE NOW!!!!! GET TO THE FLYING FORTRESS!!!! GATTI!!!! VIOLE!!!! GET DOWN HERE AND HELP HIM!!!!! *looks back at dallet. sighs.*
-----why me???

*smiles* he DOES see me! *gently lays a hand on Miguel's arm* i'm so glad that you've recognized me. *looks over at Folken* please help me. help me reach my son!
-----i hope you can hear me as well

*is knocked off balance by Guimel's sudden movements. notices Yukari.* what is wrong with that girl? why is she looking like that? geesh! she'll fall off if she doesn't get a hold of something! *quickly gains balance and grabs Yukari.* can't you at least hold on? *sees that the girl is grinning at her. softly hisses*
-----what is HER problem?

*ignoring all pain and dizziness, finally gets the Schezarade to its feet.* okay, you're up. *quickly mops his brow to get the sweat out of his eyes.* don't pass out now. your king needs you! *takes a deep breath and raises his sword*
-----all right dilly-boy, i'm ready!

*grins at Moleman* ALLRIGHT! i get to help!! won't Lord Van be so proud of me? *crawls right beside the moleman, going up the guymelf's leg.* and won't Lord Van be so proud when i rescue that girl? then he'll know just how useful i am. i can see it now. Lord Van will smile at ME not hitomi! because I"M the one who is rescuing that girl! *siiiigh*
-----daydreaming

*also sees Yukari on the melef's hand* .... You're right, Merle! Van can distract the pilot, and we can save the girl! *looks at Gaddes* Keep Hitomi safe! *grabs Merle's hand and skitters around on the deck, whispering to her.* I know you're good at sneaking around, and that's what we're going to do. We need to save that girl, so Van can let these people go and get out of here. *starts climbing up the back of the melef's leg*
-----alright! We're going to DO something!

*angrily breaks the connection with Folken* What is Folken doing, anyway? *looks at Viole in frustration* All around us, things are going on. And we're stuck HERE! *slams his fist down* But we have to stay here. Dilandau-sama ordered it. Viole. We have to figure out what's going on. Whatever it is, those cat women guymelefs have something to do with it. How did they fly on their own?
-----I'm bored and feel useless!

*stares at Shesta for a moment* Yes, I can distract him. *stands up and walks out in Dornkirk's view* Dornkirk-sama! I have returned to you! *kneels* I understand now. I had a vision... it showed me everything you're trying to do. You're doing all this for the good of all... I will help you!
-----that's ONE way to distract him!

*totally ignores Dryden and zeroes in on the shadow* Release Shesta! And be gone! I don't know what's going on here, but I know you have something to do with it! *narrows his eyes and sees a faint outline of Varie standing before him* ... Huh...? A draconian? Could it be... *lowers his sword* ...Va..rie? The bird?
-----or am I just as crazy as the rest of them?

*clings to the guymelef's hand* Oh, I wish I knew what's going on... I wish I could remember... SOMETHING! But as it is, I can't even think. But I'm sure these nice cat people will take care of me! I just wish I understood what all the commotion is about. *smiles sweetly at Eriya*
-----laa laa... off in her own little world

*looks over at Dryden then back at Shesta* I'm..I'm not to sure. I think it put him into some sort of trance. It's almost like...*frowns and notices Shesta twitching*...some one has put a spell on him. I wonder if he is experiencing what Hitomi does. You know, she has visions and such...*trails off and hears Dryden talking to Miguel* What's going on? Did something happen while I was talking? Dryden looks really angry...
-----Uh, don't fight here...ok?

*rolls his eyes and lowers his other melef's hand so that Jajuka can get on* Geez, they think I'm going to let them get caught or something. Idiots... Are you on? Got a grip? I gotta get out of here...*hears his radar blinking and spots Escaflowne* Crud!!! How did he get right behind me? *flies forward towards the Crusade Crew* I GOT GET OUT OF HERE!!
-----trying to escape

I..I...uh...*stares at Amano* I'm not a ghost...you look like one. *hears Dornkirk yelling about Dilandau* !!!! AAHHHHH!! Dilandau-sama is in trouble, and I'm stuck here spying on Dornkirk-sama and this ghost. What can I do to help him? *frowns and looks at Amano again* Hmmmm, maybe I can ask him to distract Dornkirk-sama, so he'll forget about Dilandau-sama Ano..ghost, sir? Could you help me out? Could you distract that ancient man over there? He's yelling about my friend...Dilandau-sama would hit me if I said that...oh well he ain't here...
-----well that is if you can help...

Whaa..? *stretches out her arms and catches Yukari* Ooomfff...*falls backwards and tries to regain balance* Again you fall on me, you dead weight!!!! !!! *falls over as Jajuka pushes Naria on her* Jajuka... *growls slightly and hears Naria's hiss* Eh? *pushes Yukari to the side and spots the Escaflowne* Oh great... *looks up at the guymelef* WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR DRAGONSLAYER???
-----Get us outta of here!!

Why is that guy so scared? Aunt Millerna will take care of his friend. *watches Dryden go over to Miguel* Uh-oh. Dryden looks really mad...I hope they don't fight. *sighs and wanders over to Eries and Folken* I hate fighting. I wonder how grandfather and the others are doing. I haven't seen them in awhile... *blinks and sees a shadow by Miguel* That's strange. *tugs on Eries's arm* Aunt Eries, there is a shadow, by that frighten Dragonslayer...
-----I guess that's why he's scared!

YUKARI-CHAN!! *blinks back tears as Yukari is taken to Guimel's guymelef* No...*blinks as Gaddes grabs her* Gaddes...they've...*looks back at where Yukari was* They've taken Yukari-chan! She hasn't done anything! *clutches her pendant and spots Escaflowne* Van..? *smiles and yells at the Escaflowne! VAN!!! SAVE YUKARI-CHAN!!!
-----you're her only hope...
