So I'm guessing that we might need to choose between Alice and Derly on the next update given how the dev was setting this up during one of our interactions with Alice that we would always be there for her and such. But I dunno, speculations on the next update guys?
Alice can take care of herself, and she probably evolves anyway.... Michael will get to know his powers and kick ass...
Deryl will be mostly fighting himself, even when/if the battle is won, for him it's far from over, original Deryl captured and monsterfied, while knowing you're a clone and your true self is imprisoned in some HERO dungeon... Tough one...
MC will fight Cole, evolve and win... That's all the stuff we can pretty much safely assume will be happening...
Ella and her little helpers will escape.... Deus taking care of the hexenring should be reason enough to assume that escape path isn't blocked.... So will MC be with them? Charlie could just put a geas on MC or get his promise for helping her with her brother, but she could force MC to work for Ella just the same, or a taboo to attack them is half the work....
Anyway, that is something that can go either way.... MC returns to HERO or escapes (forced?) with Ella and her elves...
In the end it's not so much about this battle alone, S.I.N. just needs HERO weakened, they most likely will attack when HERO is busy with Goliath.... I don't expect MC will ever be a part of S.I.N. though, they're just distraction for Ella so she can focus on her own goals while HERO and SIN fight... SIN will get crushed no matter what, only chance they have is raiding HERO base and getting away with a load of serums, but without that, there's really no chance for Jared's father to become a force of power... (ah well, we will need to fight Jared somewhere too ofcourse)
The team that's recovering is a wild horse though... If they're on SIN's side they could tip the scale... But they could be having their own agenda just the same, think Zack is with them, so that's the other one that sees the future...
Is there an internal power struggle between Dexter and Xanthe perhaps? Loads of fun stuff to expect either way!
