"Holy shit! Holy shit!" Blake was practically vibrating in excitement partly because he felt the majestic and overflowing strength coursing through his veins, but mostly because he heard a voice that he hasn't heard for a decade now.
Alice and Mary were in the same state as well. But before they could say anything, the voice said something to them again:
'Look, I know you're all excited and all but push that down. We can always have a reunion later, right now the enemy is looming over your heads. Focus.'
'Eliminate that thing and you'd be taking away one of the Celestial's Trump Card. The real one can't do shit about this for now so go in for the kill.'
'Get rid of the fleets while you're at it. After that, come home and rest.'
Alice, Mary, and Blake stood in awe as they felt the familiar presence of Ashton's energy flowing through them. They had all thought him dead, but here he was, reaching out to them in their hour of need.
