[h2]Saber, King Arthur Herself[/h2]

The King of Knights was silent as the girl made her explanation. So the worlds had... cores? A heart of some sort? And this was what had been taken away to reduce this universe to a single room... and it was one that only existed because of this girl's intervention. So they had to stop someone that was intent on erasing entire universe? That, in this way, sealed it. There was no way that Saber could reject such a plea for help, to ignore such a noble cause as protecting a myriad of different worlds. The idea of there being so many universe was a little bit overwhelming... but that was secondary to the plight that the girl had outlined. Needless to say, anyone dedicated to justice could never reject something like this. Especially given the fact that, if something was targeting entire universes, it could easily target her own...

"On my honor as a knight," Saber began, bowing her head, "I will do all that it takes in order to ensure no other universe falls."

There was no other answer that the blonde girl could possibly make to such a scenario. Someone who could erase entire universe by taking their 'cores'... Someone like that absolutely had to be stopped as quickly as possible. So no-one else would lose their home like this girl had. So no-one else would just... vanish.

[h2]Tachibana Hibiki, Holding Determination in Her Fist[/h2]

Hibiki was distracted for a moment when she heard an explosion from behind... some guy with spikey black hair? He was like some sort of toku hero! But in the end there wasn't a lot of time to dwell on that as the small girl who had brought them here started making her explanation. For a few moments, her eyes were wide with shock. Someone dangerous, someone who was capable of erasing entire worlds...? Memories of Carol's sad, misguided goal came to her mind for a moment. The knowledge that there were other universes and someone was seeking to take their 'cores' and erase them was overwhelming, too. This just made her all the more determined to help the girl, however. She had to help, to stop more terrible things happening!

And then... there was sadness, too. Her entire universe had vanished... that was horrible. ... Even if it was a longshot, though, another question came to Hibiki's mind... she raised her hand, like she was in class.

"Is.." she paused for a moment, "Is there any way to fix your universe?!"

[h2]Zuriel[/h2]

"Oh? Some of you aren't interested?" the grey-skinned girl asked, titling her head to the side for a moment. That was fine. She had planned for this. For some people to be selfish and not be willing to contribute. That was to be expected, really. But even as one girl fired off a stream of lasers, Zuriel raised one hand up.

"Do you see this?" she asked, as a small, warping shape formed in her hand. It was circular and seemed to be full of light, the surface constantly shimmering and moving. "This is the core of a world. It's like a heart! It's a huge amount of power, too, and if we get enough together... a new world can be born!"

She could hardly hide her glee at this. Yes... a new world where there was no more pain and suffering... A world of bliss for everyone who had been treated so unjustly!

"It will be a perfect world with no pain, no suffering," Zuriel said, waving her hand. The core faded away as she did did. "But if that's not enough for you... the amount of energy required for this is enormous! It'll overflow as the new world is created! And that's all energy that any one of you can use, for anything!"

She grinned widely.

"Even to create your own universes, too!"
