[Lightly cracking his knuckles as he felt the last of his power leave him, Kotetsu glanced over at Golbez with a solemn gaze.]

That's the gist of it. My powers only last for five seconds but recharge in just about an hour.

[He sighed.]

But don't worry. I can handle these critters even without my powers.

[While he certainly became a better fighter as of recent, Kotetsu still lacked the same finesse as his partner, Barnaby. Barnaby is definitely the better fighter of the two, but Kotetsu has a few tricks under his sleeves.]

If you're worried, don't be. I can still protect you.
