| “ | No one here was alive. The Underground was only an illusion. A twisted, warped illusion. The White Ones used it to torture everyone. And so... There was meaning in this. You met those people. And so, there's no cause for regrets. This is how it should be. None of them resent you for it. They were all waiting for you, after all. And you met them. You got to know them. There is meaning in that, I'm sure. Far more meaning than this sandbox of Underground ever held in itself. | „ |

And cleaving blades of sharpest metal. Answer my call and come forth, my form. Heroic knight. Armored warrior. Critter, Lumberjack! | „ |

Notable Attacks and Techniques
- Cracking: Also known as the Phenomenon Equation. A form of “scientific formula” that was supposedly invented by Archduke Astaire (Tick Tock Man planted the idea into his mind, and Cracking’s power comes from him), that’s capable of warping reality to achieve a variety of effects. The effect it could achieve varies, ranging from producing a power more destructive than firearms and bombs, and produce powerful healing techniques, all the way to shaping the laws of reality as the user sees fit.
- Golden Power: A power said to surpass Cracking itself. With this power A can transform Lily into her witch form, and it's this very power that allows his Critter's to be able to harm Messenger. A is also able to form a Golden Gun , which fires ammo that can never run out, and also weaken his enemies.
