"Sometimes I think you're crazier than I am, Luce..." Garen mumbled, but squeezed his dressphere faintly as he transformed into his Gunner. There were always rumors about Eddie, you didn't go to Mi'hen without hearing all of them. That he was just a big sham, that he was some kind of scam artist who had no accomplishments to his name other than being a celebrity, that he was some kind of fiend on the battlefield and everyone was terrified of Eddie Lightning.
"I suppose I shouldn't have to explain to you kids everything," Eddie grinned, and Garen swallowed faintly as he felt the air turn decidedly...electric, like the air before a storm. "But there were always warriors before dresspheres, but it made things easier...it made crime easier, war easier...a lot of people said it was pointless to embrace dresspheres. But I thought they were wrong," he said, producing a dressphere that glimmered a bright blue. It's color was not like the novice dresspheres that are given to academy students, it was much brighter and the energy within seemed to positively radiate in Eddie's hand.
He squeezed it faintly, and electricity started to crackle across his arm. There was only a second of the dressphere throbbing before it ignited in a shower of sparks and coated Eddie in his namesake. When it was done, there was a man in a light plate chestpeice that was in a decidedly light blue color, much like the sky and in ornately etched cloth of storms and thunder. He rose up his curved saber with an easy grin, and lightning snapped dangerously across the blade. Garen had never actually felt afraid of much, from fighting fiends at home to their recent spat with the Leblanc goons. But Eddie? Eddie had a casual posture to his power that made Garen tighten his hands faintly in genuine fear. This was not the Eddie Lightning of yesterday, this was the Eddie Lightning of his name.
"So then, kids...your move!" he replied cheerfully.
