He's ready...

I don't know...

What if--

Must you doubt him...?

Even I have faith in him...

You are his greatest friend...

Why do you doubt him...?

What if he fails...?

Then he at least tried...

...Alright...

Summon the Elite Four...

...There are six of them you idiot...

Yes...

...But Elite Four sounds cooler...

It's not supposed to be cool...

...It's a test if Blank is ready...

Yeah yeah...

...Just summon them...

No matter...

...While you're at it...

See if Big Boss got ahold of those weirdos and that vessel yet...

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE--

Ah-ah-ah...

...No anger Queeny...

...Grph...

Very well...

I will tend to both matters...

Great!

I'll be here watching Batmane...

Vinyl...?

No...

...The Doctor...

Ugh...




I've gathered you six here today because you are the six people that must test the skills of our Blank...

...You have been chosen for your personal connections with Blank...

...For your personal personalities...

...And some of you because you are in the same age group...

...You will all be paid handsomely...

...Will you accept?

Could make for a good lesson...

No such thing as too much money...

Truer words have never been spoken...

Declining any thing of this sort will inevitably haunt me later on...

Why ever not? Could be fun...

...Why am I here...?

You are the secret weapon...

...The magnum opus of everything we stand for...

...I'm not even--!

Shush...

...Your time will come...

But I don't even--!

Shhhh...

...All in due time...
