We're the bad ones

After being ushered out of the Celes camp Uriel turned to his friend with the biggest 'I told you so' look on his face to which Sam shrugged. Even if they didn't manage to extort a mining laser out of them that didn't mean they would have to go back with their empty hands.

"It's your turn now." Uriel said as he patted the loin of his faithful jaguar spirit.

The blue flames that came off from the creature's shoulder bones erupted in a violent flare before becoming faint and ghostly, then the feline disappeared in the dark.

"Are you sure you want to risk your pet? Those guys are pretty strong and If half of what I've heard about Sword is true, we might be in trouble if she finds out we're sabotaging them."

"Of course I'm sure, the minute I sense the jaguar spirit is in danger I'll just cancel the summon and if they didn't want to be sabotaged they should have paid the agreed price."
