Vega stood upright, the light of Gunvolt's Flashfield illuminating him. "A weakling is not a term that I'd use to refer to myself. I'd use it to refer to that squid girl, but the fact that she is still alive would prove me wrong. Ah, but where are my manners? My name is Vega. Matador, ninja and cage fighter. Squid girl and Spark Plug had the honor of meeting me earlier under...questionable circumstances, but I am not here to finish that job. My comrades saw someone with purple skin wander around and wanted to speak with them, and it appears that I found them." It was a lie of course, but no one would try to check it. That would mean fighting, and the area they were in wasn't exactly prime fighting material.
He turned to face Susie and bowed for a second. "I so happened to overhear your problem, and I believe that I can help you. I can get you out of here and allow you to join a group that my comrades and I are in. We don't care about race, gender, nationality or your past. If you join us you start with a blank slate, you have a lot of freedom to do whatever you want. There are but two rules. Do not sell us out and come to our aid when we need you. If you do, we will come to your aid. Comprende?" Allowing Susie to think over the offer, he faced Gunvolt and Teal.
"Ah, my old friends." He chuckled as the obvious sarcasm dripped from his words. "Let's look at this situation. I am outnumbered and you two are stuck here, so I am willing to make a temporary truce. I will get you out and neither of you will sell me out. I can't fight when getting you out of here, but I can drop you if you betray me. Our new friend will be freed first and then you two will be freed." He leaned forward and whispered in Gunvolt's ear. "Remember, I might be a villain but I do not lie. So when I promise to cut you to ribbons, expect me to."
Vega took a step back and stared Gunvolt in the eyes. "Tell me, what is it going to be Light Bulb?"
