Meruin opened her eyes, her thoughts coming to a gradual halt. "I think . . . our chance of victory lies best with Sol and Marcus."

"Lady Chase's abilities are formidable . . . no, formidable is a horribly gross understatement. They're beyond godly. But right now, we don't have to worry about it being beyond godly. She will be limiting herself, and since I know Lady Chase isn't the type to be so petty as to toy with us, I'm certain we have a chance at victory.

"Her abilities will be heavily offensive and destructive in nature. It's her favorite - and only - tactic. Overwhelming offense has always been her trademark. As I see it, absolutely [i]none[/i] of us could take a direct hit from her. Marcus is the only one that has a prayer of surviving. You see, her abilities are powerful, but so long as it's not an Aeon-class technique, it's still [i]magic[/i]. Marcus wouldn't be affected at all if he took a direct hit.

"Sol has grasp over time magic, and while I'm sure Deus or Cornelia are more familiar with it, I think that only he can apply it in a meaningful manner against Lady Chase. Here's what I propose: Like you said, going all out with our best attacks, only, the only ones doing the attacking will be Marcus and Sol. Everyone else will act as support. No matter what, we [i]have[/i] to get close to Lady Chase. Staying far is only inviting pain."
