Besides Michael’s predicament, the MC is wounded and exhausted after being struck by lightning, and Ella (Doll) has no power left after defeating an A-Class monster. Alice is also out of power and Deryl lost his 2 chimeras. Liz was badly wounded and had to switch over to Amber, causing the dark water to disappear and leaving the group exposed to a horde of monsters. And last but not least, Daoine Danu (who’s probably A-Class) is ready to finish them all off.
So unless they get some outside help, the only way they will survive is if some of them evolve to Level 3 and/or the MC reaches Level 4.
The scene faded to dark with Aos showing up in typical fashion, talking about his spawn (Alice). Odds are the S+ monster is going to lay the smackdown on the horde of monsters with a wave of his finger. Good for the lifespan of the crew, bad in that it takes away the immediate chance for anyone to evolve.
-At this rate, the only way someone is going to evolve right away is if Aos has Daoine Danu and Alice fight (Alice is tired but PISSED... may trigger something).
-Maybe the MC will evolve once he gets over his genetic memory weakness of lighting and turns it into a strength... Kinda what level 4 is all about.
-And narratively and time-wise it does seem like time for the twins to evolve. Will they undergo a double evolution like the moon twins or Henri (possibly a twin chimera himself)? From what I gather they will need to be on the same mental/emotional wavelength to successfully evolve...Which in turn may lead to a fix to their separation issue. Stage two is the Balancing stage.
Time will tell...
