Britanny, having much better hearing than most, turned to her. "No what? What happened?"
Brianna, who had been standing by the window to see if she could see the battlefield, turned to Archon. "What? What happened?"
Archon shook her head as she gripped the table, her whole body was trembling. "This, this just can't be real."
"WHAT?!" Asked a very worried Lycanthrope and Lycanthropoid.
Everyone else that was in the room, Penny, Ace, Charlotte, Gina and the five Leprechauns, looked at Archon, they wondered what was going on as well.
"I-I can't feel Strype's life force anymore."
Britanny's eyes widened, her body tensed up as she took in a shaky breath. "M-Muffin's d-dead?"
Archon was taking shuddering breaths as tears came to and fell from her eyes that fell onto the table as her head was bowed down a bit. "I, I'm not sure Britanny. I can't feel him anymore. But, but that's not the worst thing."
Brianna was by her in an instant, grabbing her shoulders to force the teary Kryn to look her in the eyes. "What?! What do you mean?"
Archon's body trembled severely as she closed her eyes, but that didn't stop the tears from falling. "The Guyver, Ranma, is.... dead." She finished in a quiet voice.
Brianna got wide-eyed, let go and took a step back. "No, he can't be. That's impossible. Ranma can't be dead, he just can't be. He's survived everything that came his way and laughed it off." Brianna had tears welling up in her eyes as she slammed her fist onto the table. "You're lying! You just have to be! Ranma can't be dead!"
Archon trembled as she shook her head back and forth. She wanted to break down and cry herself; Ranma had proven to be a good friend and someone who protected her people. "I, I wish I was Brianna. I truly do." Archon had to take in stuttery breaths to try and calm her nerves. "But, the psychic emanations I received were the same ones that I got when many other Kryn died. He's dead. I, I wish it was otherwise, but, he's dead."
Brianna had tears falling even as she shook her head violently. "NO! That's impossible! He's fine! I know he is! He can't be dead! HE JUST CAN'T BE!" She slumped to the floor as she just let herself cry. "He can't be, he just can't." She curled herself into a ball as she let herself cry. Last night had been wonderful, and now it would never happen again.
Britanny's whole body shook as tears fell from her face. She sat down shakily as she allowed herself to cry unashamedly. Her best friend was dead and her fiancé was possibly dead as well, damn did this day suck. "I knew they shouldn't have gone! I just knew it."
Ace was pale as took all of this in. "aw man."
Charlotte didn't even hold back her emotions; two of her friends were gone! "Snif... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Penny may not have known Ranma and Strype as well as the Diggers did, but she knew he was a great friend. "God, this can't be happening." She had to clutch the side of the table to keep herself steady.
Gina shook her head as tears fell, it felt surreal to her that Ranma, someone who had survived practically everything was now gone and not coming back. "It can't be. How, how, how could he be dead?! He was in Guyver form, he should've been invincible!"
Archon shook her head as tears fell. "They found out about the weakness somehow. Rio ripped the control medal right out of the Guyver's forehead."
It was truly a dark day for those from Earth.
