The Battle Pauses
Lloyd:
Who's left?

Marjolein:
I'm still here

Jill:
I'm right here

Lloyd:
Jill, your face... my god...

Jill:
Never felt better

Michael:
My arm is gone... but I'm still standing...

Jill:
Michael, you're about to fall over

Michael:
I'm not goin anywhere

Lloyd:
Just the four of us then. You all should go. Go somewhere far away where her empire can’t find you
Michael:
What are you gonna do?

Lloyd:
I'm going down fighting

Jill:
Damn right

Lloyd:
Jill, please, be sensible

Jill:
Never felt better

Michael:
I'm not goin anywhere

Lloyd:
I just don't understand... how is this kind of power possible? Sure she was talented, but... she didn't have this kind of power

Marjolein:
You know, she told me something, in the Red River. She was gloating, saying how those mutants of hers power her like a battery

Lloyd:
What?
Jill:
Power her like a battery…

Lloyd:
A battery...

Jill:
Oh my goddess

Lloyd:
That... that makes sense. That explains everything

Michael:
So the mutants...

Lloyd:
We've been going about this the wrong way. The mutants aren't a distraction, they're the key

Jill:
So if we separate her from the mutants...

Lloyd:
New plan. One of you needs to distract Sarah, get her to chase you, get her away from here
And the rest of us get those mutants to the trap, to the reality well

Jill:
If we get the mutants in the pocket dimension she has to follow or lose her power
Lloyd:
Yes. so she needs to chase someone. it's a suicide mission

Jill:
I'll go. I got his

Marjolein:
No, I'll go. It's going to take all three of you to get those mutants herded in there. And Sarah... I'm not afraid of her. And I don't have to fight her, just run long enough

Jill:
Marjolein, there’s no way you can hold her off...

Lloyd:
Jill, she's right. Michael's barely standing. I need you to help herd the mutants. This is our last hope. Marjolein... Marjolein, you can do this. We don't need long, you just need to hold out... just a short while. You're like... I ne... I never thought I'd... know what having a... a daughter felt like, but... it's... good...

Jill:
Marjolein, don't you dare try to...

Marjolein:
Ok everyone, enough. We got this

Lloyd:
We've got this
