When Farker went back to his job in the real world, Darla turned to Aes. “I think we can stop Am-heh, but we need more people. I'd be happier if we had an army. It's time to get the team together for this mother of all boss fights.”
“Darla,” Aes said, his voice gentle. “What did Farker mean when he said 'I never programmed you for blood'? He said it to me.”
Crap, she thought. Damn you, Farker. Whatever Aes is, the last thing he needs right now is to doubt his own reality! “Don't worry about that now, Aes. We have more important things to think about. Like who can help us kill Am-heh.”
She could see he was still thinking about it, but he kept his peace. “Do you have someone in mind?” he asked.
“As a matter of fact, I do. But we're going to have to go back to Realm of Heroes to find them. Are you ready for all the skyscrapers? You're not going to faint on me again, are you?”
“I have seen them, now. They are only images.”
“Then without further ado, please take my hand.” We have to make some time to find a way for him to access the menus. All right, she thought, making sure they were still teamed. Take us to the Realm of Heroes.
