Yamato didn't immediately answer Kazuo's questions, and nodded in agreement to what Ikkime said. [color=92278f]"It is but an assumption on my part, based on how the Master of Meteors ended up. Only someone of true might can pierce through his insurmountable defenses. He was separated from the rest of us when we faced off against the Mistress of Marionettes, so I can't truly say as to what their true objectives are other than retribution, and even that may only be the motive of Der Puppenspieler."[/color] Yuuma had the young boy seated at the table where Yamato's hamsters lingered. They had their fill by now and were cuddled together, all of them sleeping except for a tough-looking hamster with part of his ear bitten off and full of energy. The hamster squaked and bit Amiti's finger. Expecting the child to cry even more, Yamato said: [color=92278f]"Do not be alarmed. Maga-Z is testing you, for you intrude upon his territory. If your heart is true and willing to overcome the pain in peace, he will accept you."[/color] Yamato then said in response to Ikkime's words: [color=92278f]"There is no doubt that having made themselves apparent against us, there are sure to be many more of them than the few we encountered. And to stand up to them, we must join forces. Now, if you'll excuse me."[/color] Yamato bowed to Ikkime, and walked to the counter where Ketsui sat. His Evil Eye had seen the fascination that the man bore towards him, and Yamato himself also wanted to know more about his rather peculiar skills. He seated himself perpendicular to the new guy and [url=http://i.imgur.com/eRKgY6h.png]spoke[/url] to him: [color=92278f]"Your mastery over your own body is commendable, Flesh Devil. Do you use the forbidden art of Awakening to release the hidden potential of your very skeleton? If not, then what means do you have to achieve such a high level of bone-singing? Tell me your secrets for I, Beastmaster Overlord Yamato Ikusaba, seek enlightenment over all arts of moulding."[/color]
