As the unaccustomed mental exertion of using his telekinetic abilities caught up to him, Sage had time for a muttered thanks before falling to the floor, unconscious.
âWell, I cut that a little too close... any longer, and they would've been dead. Ah well, that's what Moon Atomizers are for.â X thought, as he withdrew a small capsule from within his pocket.
One Moon Atomizer later, Sage had been returned to a basic semblance of consciousness. After reviving the others with Reverser, he popped a Trifluid to stave off a head-splitting energy deprivation headache. Since the room had stopped spinning, he proceeded to introduce everyone to X.
"Everyone, this is X..." Sage began to say.
"And I'm the reason you're all still alive. Sorry I'm late." X finished smoothly.
"Oh wow, it's really you! The slayer of Dark Falz, the person who crushed Neifirst's rebellion. I'm Lucca, nice to meet you. I can't believe I'm standing next to a legend! This is so cool... Is that the real Agito? Can I have your autograph? Blah, blah, blah..." Lucca began to gush excitedly. She didn't stop even when Megatron stepped forward.
"Nice to meet you, X. I'm Megatron. I've heard a lot about you."
"Uh, hi...." X reluctantly shook the hand the Megatron offered. His experiences with JiEin had made him a bit less wary of androids, but he still wasn't exactly a fan.
"So, Sage... you have telekinesis, so does that mean you have telepathic abilities as well?" X asked.
Lucca, to Megatron: "Sage has psychic powers?"
Megatron: "Yeah, he just sealed them away a long time ago, for some reason."
Sage, looking distinctly uncomfortable, replies: "Yeah, I have telepathic abilities too. I didn't want to unseal the blocks I put up, but I had to, or die. "Turning to X, he continued; " And just because I have them, doesn't mean I'm going to rummage through your mind like a sock drawer. I only use my abilities when I actually have to. You have nothing to worry about. None of you do..."
X: "Hey, relax. I've worked with a telepath before. Some crazy newman force girl. She was pretty nice, she just thought I was her uncle. I know you all have a code of ethics you follow. If you didn't, you would've wiped my mind of the memory of you using telekinesis before I said anything."
Sage: "Heh, good point. Do you mean Ayame? I helped train her."
"Yeah, that's her. I was asking to see if you could possibly scan ahead for D-Cell monsters, so we can avoid another ambush like this. I had the element of surprises, but without that I don't even think <b> I </b> could take on that many Deldepths and come out unscathed."
"I can try, but D-Cell thought patterns are very chaotic, and hard to pick up. That, and I haven't used my powers in years. There's also a lot of psychic interference in these ruins all of a sudden. "
"Well then, let's get going." X said as he stepped towards the door. The other three fell into loose formation behind him. Megatron and Lucca on the sides, with Sage relatively well-protected in the back.
