Tadashi watched in awe as the power batteries lit up and the rings rose up from the ground like snowfall in reverse. Were there access panels on the power batteries? What about the rings? Was there a way that they could figure out how they worked, and why they weren't working the way they were supposed to anymore? It seemed a waste just to leave them here -- even if the various Corps were no more, it seemed like there ought to be a way to use these things to make people's lives better...

With all that going through his head, Tadashi wasn't exactly surprised when an Indigo ring shot toward him. A little startled by the speed, sure, but not really surprised.
