Duo doesn't even pause to think about it. "Yeah, I can see 'em taunting us with the things or the power we miss most only ta have 'em take them away. Makes sure we can't learn ta live without 'em. Either that or they're seein' what we'll do with the powers. Like tryin' ta killin' the guys we think're the most dangerous."

It was a good idea. One that would result in them killing each other, maybe for the Malnosso's enjoyment. They could be trying to see if they're more dangerous when they have more power. They could be testing how violent their subjects are.
