Lightning stared down at Maria for a few moments, feeling her in his arms... She was totally limp, and not even as if she was in a deep sleep... Lightning could no longer feel any warmth in her body. He set her down upon the floor and placed his hands upon her breast, surges of just-visible electricity coming from him every couple of seconds. "... Come on... Wake up... Don't die on me here..." He whispered, but then eventually stopped, rising to his feet. "... You've always been like a sister to me... How could I... Just let you die?" he asked softly, then snapped out of it, turning to Baz, V, and Crystal. "... Well, it's us versus the rest of Area 51 now... I doubt they're going to let us just take out this sector without any sort of counter-retaliation."
