The information Marinetta and Harley brought about the dark crystal had provided crucial insight, but the true extent of the Dark Sovereign's plans remained a dark cloud hanging over them.

Harley nodded, his expression serious. "The destruction of the crystal has weakened the Dark Sovereign's power, but we've likely only scratched the surface. What's our next step?"
