He lost...he lost...he was human and he's lost and Durbe and Alit and...
He can't think about that right now. He is not allowed to think about that right now. He has to settle things with Kaito first and then he can take care of everything else.
That might easier said than done, however. "Struggling to stay with them" is putting it mildly; Kaito is starting to babble, which is better than his otherwise sicking silence but both of them make it sound like he's just giving up--out of necessity maybe considering his suit is a mess and he's dying because of it...but absolutely none of this situation is fair. He's not supposed to die, not after such a magnificent win, not when he's been granted the Key to ending this war, not when he'd shown he understood Mizael more than anyone else ever had in this lifetime--
Mizael comes to a stop nearly his head, and Kaito looks up at him through that cracked visor and holds the card out to him, and he hardly has a second to decide what to do. (--Kaito's entrusting the dragon to him?--Kaito's going to die--Vector's waiting, and Don Thousand is waiting, and they're both going to pay--Kaito can't breathe here any more than Mizael can and he's going to die--Nasch needs him, he's all he has left now--none of this is fair--)
It isn't until he reaches down to take the card from Kaito that he decides what to do--or more like, realizes that he could do nothing else. Mizael takes the card in one hand and then grabs Kaito's hand with the other and opens a portal beneath their feet, ignoring the screams from Yuma and Astral and their friend as he drags Kaito back to Earth. They can finish this back in an environment where they can both survive without powers or broken suits.
The portal dumps them unceremoniously in the middle of Heartland, proof of Mizael's panicking, unfocused mind, but he couldn't possibly care less how undignified he looks right now. All that matters is that Kaito doesn't die when he's not supposed to.]
