[Video- Filtered to team Cosmos]

[for_cosmos]

[The warrior looks especially serious when he begins to speak into his crystal. Cosmos's announcement is the first significant task they've been given since they awoke here, and he is determined not to fail in it.]

The first battle will soon be upon us. As Cosmos said, we must prepare.

Has anyone already fought a warrior of Chaos, or their manikin?

[brightsiding]

I haven't fought anything, yet...

Do you think maybe we should all go try and train? Ah, together?

[for_cosmos]

It is a good thought, but there may not be enough time before the battle for it to be effective. Beside, I have no doubt that the Chaos warriors would try to drive us from one another. Still, staying as a group may be a wise decision.

[brightsiding]

Yeah, it might be a little too late...

But staying together sounds like a good idea!

[for_cosmos]

It is one. We should not lose a comrade simply because the warriors of Chaos have driven us apart.

[heavenslament]

[Terra nods, all focus.]

I've fought their manikins, and I encountered a couple of his warriors, though we didn't actually fight.

...I like the idea of training, too. I've done it alone, but we could stand to learn from each other.

[for_cosmos]

What do you know of the warriors you encountered?

There is little time to do so before the battle, but we should be certain to do so. Working together against the warriors of Chaos can only help us.

[Pause. There's one she doesn't want to be harmed, so she'll explain the others.]

The first one I encountered was at the Sky Fortress. He called himself Lord Dracula, and was seeking a person named Belmont. He wanted me to deliver that message, but then couldn't decide whether or not to kill me instead, so I teleported away, toward the portal crystal. Only...he could teleport, too. He paused by the portal crystal and didn't pursue me after that....

[for_cosmos]

[Luckily for Terra, he isn't as likely to harm that one.]

A man with the ability to teleport. I see.

Do you believe he would attempt to, if you were to encounter him once more?

I fought a few manikins, but I can't tell you much about their abilities. I usually try to destroy them as quickly as I can.

[for_cosmos]

It was merely a thought, and it is understandable that you would simply wish them destroyed. If they know as little of us as we know of them, then this battle may be an opportunity to test them.

[nullnullvier]

Guess I should have thought ahead. I don't like the idea of going into this blind.

[for_cosmos]

We could not know when this battle would come. All we can do is do our best to prepare for them now.

[for_cosmos]

[... Please let her be joking.]

We were summoned to fight for Cosmos.

[for_cosmos]

Cosmos is the Goddess of Harmony. [Ignoring the stuff about the battle for the moment, mostly because he considers telling her the other things more important, and because he isn't quite sure of that.]

The manikins are crystalline copies of the warriors present here, and possess their skills, if in a lesser form.

[eblans_finest]

I fought a Mankin of Golbez earlier. Does that count?

[for_cosmos]

Of Golbez? Who is that?

[He feels like he should know this, but he doesn't.]

[eblans_finest]

Golbez is a big guy wearing black armor. You can't miss him.

[But he knows him, so he might as well tell him.]

[for_cosmos]

The man who appeared only recently, you mean? He is called Golbez?
