Bonus Card - ZEARU! - Video/Action

 "Yosh..!" Well isn't this an interesting sight.

Something that looks like a cross between Yuuma and Astral is fighting someone who somewhat resembles Subaru... It seems to be relatively casual combat but...

"Heheee~ We're pretty similar neh, Subaru?!"

Oi oi oi, it's great that you're not in the city right now, but is this the time..!?

At any rate, Subaru seems to nod (he's too far from the camera to be heard properly) and...

...

What.

"Aah.. Really?" Hnnn.

"...You seem a different sort of quiet..." Mnnn...

He's partnered and momentarily fused with 'the stoic' one Loki- it might be harder to fool him right now.

[togetherwefell]

"You are mistaken. I often have my quiet moments, and they are not always such that I would choose to display them openly. That is not to say that anything Is wrong."

Thor agrees, with an incline of his head. "This is true."

But Thor... IS looking worried. Who do you trust - the one known as Liesmith or his more honest brother?

[kattobingu_ore]

"Ah- No, I meant..." Mnnn...

"There are lots of times when you're quiet..! That's part of who you are. Like Astral..! ...But..." He frowns. "There are different types of quiet even when you're not bringing attention. And... Not all of them are good."

Ahh, but what side of you is speaking Yuuma. Astral?

Or you?

[togetherwefell]

"And you presume to know which of my moods are good for my wellbeing?"

It looks as though he's either stopped pretending, or he's starting to get annoyed. Maybe both, but whichever it is, Thor is now looking extremely uncomfortable. "Loki..."

[kattobingu_ore]

"Nope!"

What.

"What I'm saying is... As someone I see as my 'nakama'- as someone Astral and Subaru also see as 'nakama'... No matter what happens, no matter what you say or do, we will never see you as anything less..! And we will always be there..!"

[togetherwefell]

Loki is silent and staring at Yuuma for just long enough for Thor to think that this has gotten through to him - in reality, he's wondering just how insane they are, but that's beside the point.

"Loki, these people mean you no harm. I mean you no harm. And if there be anything I could do for you whence I return, you need only say the word and it would be done!"

Loki sighs - a gentle thing compared to the downright murderous look he's sending Thor.

"You are both fools."

[kattobingu_ore]

"Ahaha! That's what Astral says..!" Ehehehe. "I've been called worse."

Do we want to know.

[togetherwefell]

Loki can't somehow imagine that Yuuma's been called anything that would stand up to the accumulated names Loki has gained for himself. He looks away.

"And yet you do not desist. As I said before, such obstinacy in believing in others is not always... wise."

[kattobingu_ore]

"Just because it's not wise doesn't mean I won't believe." What.

"Because from the time I've been travelling with you, I know that you're a good guy..! No matter what..! And on top of all that, you helped Subaru and Astral and I in the cave! You're a hero!!"

How the hell is this kid able to say-

[togetherwefell]

Thor looks between the two, this not being an event he's familiar with. And, of course, with a hope beyond hope - that Loki, his brother, had not surrendered himself fully to whatever madness he had been acting under.

Loki... was staring at Yuuma, incredulous. And then, he starts to laugh. As it goes on, it seems less and less sane - something Thor is all to familiar with. But there's no Bifrost this time, only a hot summer day in an unfamiliar realm, and a young child-

"You think me a hero? For that? You have been useful to me. I who have made kingdoms dance to the sound of my silver tongue! Perhaps You ought to ask Thor for his own definition of the term 'hero' - for I am certainly not it."

And with that bombshell, he stands, making to move away from them.

Yuuma, you wanted to know what was the matter with him. Well, now you know.

[kattobingu_ore]

Yuuma finds himself staring back at you for a moment... And then...

"Heh... hahah..!! You're a lot like Shark..!"

wat

[togetherwefell]

Loki is going, Yuuma. As in, one last glance, and he is gone. There are a couple of flashes of light and the Pokemon - other than Thor, who races up to his trainer - are back in their Pokeballs.

...It may be some time until he'll let himself be found again.
