Grr...

How dare you...

I won't lose... I'm not gonna lose to you!!

......

Agggghhhh...!!!

*Huff* *huff* *huff*

...told ya....I wouldn't lose...

......

Michele...

Why... Why does she keep going...?

Does she really think she'll eventually win if she keeps fighting him?

...I think that's what it is.

Michele got really angry at us earlier...

We truly hurt her feelings...

That's why...

Michele has not looked in our direction since.

She won't even acknowledge our existence, is what you're saying?

Darn it... Why the heck do I feel so weird about that...?

......

......

......

I...won't...lose...

I...don't care...who you are...

......

Blast it!!

You're different than us, are you not?! Hang in there!!

...Zel...ban...?

Just moments ago, you said that only people weaker than myself will be able to wield my sword in the future...

But it's quite the opposite!!

The Veda style of fencing was made for continuously challenging stronger opponents!

......!

And whether you like it or not, I am the true "Zelban"!

Do not underestimate me! And do not take me lightly!

And after this battle, I shall make you regret what you have said!!

Darn it all!

Eat this!

......!

You say I gave up?! When did I give up?!

I'll never give up!!

Michele.

I seriously hate...how much of a brat you are!

And I know I ain't the only one.

We're all sick of your abusive personality!!

But... Nah, that's exactly why...

...I can't let this end with you thinking yourself so above everyone else!!

Lodin...

Hmph. And when you really think about it, Melchio's got nothing on Michele's insanity...

Michele! I'll heal you right away, hold on!

Tiara... You too...?

I'm still just as scared as ever, and want nothing more than to run away...

But I won't.

I'll stay by Michele's side so I can gain the confidence I need.

Until I'm finally able to like myself as much as I like her!

Restart complete. Must protect Michele.

Crab!

I thought you were outta the game, but look at you go!

It wasn't nice to trick us like that, Crabby...

Your linguistic output has been deemed incomprehensible.

......

*Sigh* You guys, I swear...

Well, you're the companions I handpicked myself, so your comeback was only a matter of time.

There's no way any of you would just sit around whimpering!

Hmph, you said it.

*Ratatat-tat*

Melchio, you've done pretty good so far yourself.

But now I'm... No, WE are different than before!!

You better brace yourself!
