{PS: The plot here differs a little from the game. After all, making it exactly the same would be too boring, right?}
Navia's questioning left Marcel staring in shock at the completely unharmed group. Only then did he come to his senses and realize he was the one who had been deceived.
"Navia... I imagine my appearance must have left you with plenty of questions. Why did I have the gall to order these Gardemeks to attack you?"
"But before that, I have a question of my own. I clearly saw all of you disappear completely under the barrage, so why have you suddenly appeared before me now without a scratch?"
"As far as I know, Elemental Energy can't do anything like that, can it?"
Marcel's biggest question at that moment was how this group had suddenly vanished.
And according to his original plan, he had wanted to kill Sunday before he had time to unleash his ultimate, so he had deployed every Gardemek he could gather here to launch the attack.
He had learned that everyone he had sent to the Hotel Debord to plant Primordial Sea had been captured. To keep them from implicating him, he had no choice but to silence them.
But he had never imagined that the Gardemeks would be unable to do anything to these people, giving Marcel a very bad feeling.
He felt that this time, he really was going to fail...
So he asked the question that concerned him most: how had these people vanished unharmed amid such powerful covering fire?
"It was just an application of the laws of physics. We refracted light to make ourselves invisible. As for why we're unharmed, that's all thanks to old Zhong, of course. Very few people in the world can break through his defenses."
