After understanding that, Kurt made a dangerous decision.

He was too weak to continue fighting in those conditions, but he needed to do whatever was necessary, if he wanted to have any chance of getting out of there alive, and understanding what was happening, and what that stone gallery inside the Nest was.

And most of all, who were those "they" that Groth had spoken of, before they met with Vena.

"So it's all or nothing..." Kurt whispered to himself. 'Arias?'

'Yes?'

'How about making a big impression on whoever is watching us through this thing I'm fighting?'

Kurt felt Arias' smirk growing in his shadow.

'I think we'll be up to our necks in trouble if we do this, but it sounds like an amazing idea... What do you need me to do?'

'When I count three, I will deactivate [SHADOW GRASP] and start running away from [ANTIBODY]. I need you to destroy this gallery so I can fight outside.'
