Not all enemies stay enemies. Felling the beast isn't the only way to solve the problem, is it? If we can find any sort of common ground, then it's possible to work together. If not...

[Akira grins, shrugs, but he's far from resigned.]

Then the battle continues. I'm not going to give up no matter how many heads the hydra grows.
