Seeds of the Tree

As the Elegant Rage became bathed by a glow that was completely opposite to her rage-filled mental state, the faint presence of Lufa's glow deep inside her wooden body began to trigger familiar memories and associations.

The mech gradually remembered that she was originally a mech that not only derived strength from rage and passion, but also kept herself alive by emphasizing control and rationality!

By maintaining enough discipline would she be able to channel her fury as effectively as possible!

As a mech that once started off as a copy of the Lucid Rage model, losing control like this was one of the biggest taboos of her kind!

It was only now that the Elegant Rage managed to regain her connection with Lufa that she remembered her original self!

"I… AM NOT… THE EMPEROR TREE!"

An explosion of power erupted from the ebony tree as its trunk spontaneously burst apart and shed a lot of lightning-scarred wood!
