Morphos, rather than dodging, just closes up his wings, aims for Null, and curls up into a ball - then, his stitches open up, and several tendrils whip out of each opening and form various copies of Bodou Arms, Kiwi Arms, and Durian Arms that unfold to protect Morphos' body from the shadow element onslaught. When the shots are all blocked, the armor simply disintegrates, and Morphos goes into a dive, roaring as he rears his lower right arm for a punch.

Meanwhile, inside the purse, Steel offers an answer to Jenny's question. "Say, do you think my buddy, Max? Shouldn't be too hard, and we've got plenty of time...I'd, uh, just like to hurry a bit."

Jenny looks at the purse oddly. "Why? What's the issue?"

"Well...long story short, Max is kind of a living power generator - and since I run on the stuff he's making, I regulate his power levels by absorbing that power...basically, I just need to find him in...six hours and forty two minutes!"

"Oddly specific..." Genos notes.

"Yeah, basically, we're not supposed to be apart for more than eight hours." Steel explains.

"...what happens if that happens?" Jenny asks.

"Well, I run out of power, and Max...explodes. Literally." Steel answers.

"He what!?"

Steel flinches from Jenny and Genos yelling that in unison. "I mean, we still have a few hours, but-"

"You could've mentioned that earlier!" Jenny pulls Steel out of the purse, retracting it back into her arm as a scanner folds out from her arm. "Okay, just connect with me and give me the energy signature!"

"Okay, I appreciate the speed here, but I kinda need a specialized port to-" Steel trails off as a port unfolds from Jenny's shoulder and shifts into Steel's shape. "-and never mind! One energy signature, coming up!"

Steel plugs into the port and sends the data to Jenny's CPU, where she briefly processes the data and then searches for it in her scanners. And soon enough... "Got it! Let's go!"

And the trio fly off.
