Dave faced the injured Jackie with a calm expression. "Let's talk," he said, "I have a proposal that could bring an end to this fight. It's simple. Join forces with me, and this conflict will be over."
Jackie's response was quick, his voice filled with skepticism. "So, what's the proposal about?" he asked.
Dave's response was direct. "I want you to ally with me."
Scoffing, Jackie replied; "What makes you think I'll ally with you? Do you think because you can control beasts that I'll be interested in being friends with you? I can take you down if I want to." He snarled.
Though, in Jackie's mind, he doubted he could take Dave down, especially not in the current state he was. The three mergers he had trusted to take him down had failed, then what else could he, who is injured, do?
The two mergers that were outside had already reverted to their human forms, so even if he was to fight Dave now, he's certain he was going to lose.
