Once the robot was in the portal hall, their head spun to Fulginanis full form and asked, “Need another reinforcement attack?”

“Can do,” Libby’s answer was followed by a rocket firing from their mouth into the wall and then their robot body smashing it into further rubble. “Good enough?”

“It will have to do. We don’t have much time left, and it seems Cal is running very ahead of schedule,” Fulginanis answered. They were not remotely surprised that a Cal plan was changing on the fly.
