The Three-Headed Hydra

[Condensation she/her]

"Yes, I remember saying that. What did you do?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"I... borrowed it," repeated Woden, puzzled.

"I borrowed it!" said Woden. "Remember speaking that?"

"You... Borrowed it?!?!" She gaped at him. "How?"

[Condensation she/her]

"Did you use a recorder or something?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"No, no," said Woden. "I took it from the air! And then gave it back."

"How?!" Mallory repeated. "That's not a normal thing!"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Woden blinked. "Naturally," he replied. "That much is crystal."

[Condensation she/her]

"Is it one of your things from the Hydra?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"It is Accura," said Woden.

[Condensation she/her]

"Right. But it's from them?"

[Mage he/him]

“Like my hand, or her flames?” Michial added, attempting helpfulness. 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Yes. A shattering."

[Condensation she/her]

"Well, that would've been nice to know before you startled me out of my skin. Or... flames or whatever."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Woden scoffed. "If I gave you all my words you would explode!"

[Condensation she/her]

"I don't think so. But I get that Accura gave you a lot."

"Are there any other of these 'shatterings' that you could tell us about? Perhaps something useful, or at least to avoid shocking us in the future?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"No need to be sparked!" said Woden. "I talk. Reality listens."

[Condensation she/her]

"So you control just about anything around you. And you can... take voices, or something."

Ideas started forming in Michial’s mind. With powers like theirs, especially the crazy one... It reminded him of a quote he had seen in an American movie. With great power comes great responsibility. 

“I feel like we shouldn’t just hide out, waiting to be found” Michial declares to the group. “We must act, and prevent others from our fates. With our powers we could resist the Accura!”

[Condensation she/her]

"No, we couldn't. Come back to reality. After all, they have plenty of people just like us."

Woden trembled. "No. No! I must protect Accura."

[Condensation she/her]

"Okay, yep. We all get that you're brainwashed or whatnot."

"After the things they did to you?!"

"No, we couldn't. Come back to reality. After all, they have plenty of people just like us."

"Perhaps we can turn the others who have been changed, to fight with us. They have been hurt as well. If we only hide they will find us eventually."

"They're like him." Isati nodded at Woden. "We can't turn them. We'll have a hard time with him, and it probably won't work!"

[Mage he/him]

"Gah!" Michial said, giving up the debate, "You Americans wouldn't understand."

Well, even if he couldn't convince everyone to fight back, Michial could at least do his best to help prepare him and his friends for the inevitable attack of the Hydra. With an organization this extensive they couldn't hide for long.
