>Do we think we have it in us to make another oubliette at the moment? Assuming this one only needs to be strong enough to hold a presumably-unpowered person for an afternoon or so? Would that make it much easier to form?
>Containing Motormaster in their non-powered form would be a far simpler thing than imprisoning and holding the Champions. You could probably manage it yourself, but the better option would be to ask at least one of your friends for assistance. You don't want to drain your tanks too much in one day, especially if one of the Champions decides to make itself obnoxious.
>For that matter, now that we have a moment to sit and think, can we piece together that idea for helping Breakdown?
>Seems like a long time now since you had to deal with Breakdown and that idea slipped away from you. And the presence of Motormaster still hangs over your head, too. You could always just leave him here. With his powers removed the police should be more than capable of handling him. Plus, even with Reisen seemingly mollified for the moment, you'd feel better for you, Reisen and Motormaster himself to get the rabbit away from him. Just in case Reisen's emotions get the better of her.
>But by the same token, you know you can't stay here forever, so if you're going to do something for Breakdown, and perhaps the other members of Motormaster's gang, it's going to have to be now, while you have the opportunity. Assuming anything CAN be done for them. That abyss of power you touched before is a thing you understand even less than you do Makai, but you do know that the connection Breakdown shares with it is something he was born with. That evil is a part of him in the same way his right arm is, despite the harm it may have done to him. That power could very well be a contributing factor to the psychological damage you witnessed in him, but even with all your power, you're not sure you can do anything about that. He was born in darkness, and that's not the sort of thing you can Violet Light away. You want to help him, very much, but to do that might require fundamentally altering his being, but simply shattering that Jewel, shattering his connection to the Abyss, is certain to cause a whole different set of problems. You would need to find an alternative, a way to let him keep that connection-
>Or maybe not. Maybe, just maybe, you could alter that connection, reroute Breakdown's supernatural ties to something that isn't inherently evil, as that abyss seems to be. That could give him a chance to live the rest of his life free of the influence of that abyss. And you think you even know what that might be: The light of sentient emotions. The same power that you and your friends tap into. Lily is fueled by her joy and cheer, Rin by her devotion, loyalty and now love, and Kiku, though driven at her core by fear, has learned how to use her fear positively, as a motivation. That emotion, that light, is a wondrous source of energy, perhaps as deep and profound at that Blackblood Abyss.
>But tying Breakdown into that Light won't be as simple as simply giving him one of your rings. It will require a unique Light of yours, and would be a significant investiture of energy on your part. Especially as his connection to the Abyss is so deep. And the process would be profound, beyond anything you've ever done before. It could change Breakdown and the others in other ways beyond altering their Jewels. All his life has been written by the abyss and his connection to it. In rewriting that connection, you could very well alter him physically and mentally along with it.
>Isn't that good, though? Breakdown has never had a chance to life his own life. Darkness has had a hold on him since he was born. Before he was born, even. You don't know that much about these Jewels; they might always be born with them, finding no relief in the wheel of reincarnation. He was not born innocent. Mayeb never born innocent. The life he's led, the life all Blackbloods lead, is one inherently tainted by that Abyss, that black hole of life, that source of depravity and evil. You would be giving them a chance to be free of that evil, to lead their own lives. If they chose to still do wrong, at least that would be their choice. They'd be free to make that choice, rather than drawn inevitably to it as they all are now.
>But you'll need the others help. At your full power you might be able to do this alone for one of them, perhaps some of them, but probably not all of them, not with Breakdown being as strong as he is. And you are not at your full strength.
