I take all of the girls into the parlor.
"Girls, have a seat."
I fidget as I think of how to explain what has happened. I talk to the girls, but I keep looking at the Terrorcons to make sure they understand what is going on. My voice is calm and as comforting as I can be.
"Orichalcum is what powers you, you know that. You also know that every time a Rune Core is born, it takes some of the mother's Orichalcum with it, to make its personality from the mother and father's energy signature. Well, after you girls..."
I pause. "This fifth Rune Core has taken too much Orichalcum from your mother. Somehow, the Orichalcum didn't replicate properly from her last birth."
Aegis gets more and more scared. "Wait...wait...y-y-youre s-saying that Mom is...is..."
"No, baby, no, no," I assure her. "She's weak. She's just very weak. She needs an energy source to help her own. Her Orichalcum needs a large amount of energy in a short amount of time. Spirit Energy would work, but it would take far too long. I can't take too long, because I still need to build the body for your baby sister. Now listen, I have an idea."
I turn to Glus and the terrorcons. "Glus, when Blo and Riper formed their...parts, there was an energy spike. An enormous energy spike. It wasn't like anything I have ever seen. I have an idea that will save Regina, but I'm going to need your help."
