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
