<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*it dents my armor all around me*

Incessant fool.
*my aura absorbs every bit of energy around me, residual or otherwise, and converts it into brute force that I slam into you with my hammer from your side*

*With grace, I leap backward, dodging, then immediately forward again, doing a kickflip off your face and leaping away. After a moment, a massive barrage of delayed impacts all slam into your face at once*
New tricks, please? You don't want to be the new record holder for "Opponent that Bored Me Fastest".

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

And Cerberus has something to do with them?

Cerberus has passed off key information to at least one person among their ranks. I have proof of nothing more as far as their association.

Do they also want to get rid of the Tzarians for some reason?

Where's your proof that they're even back?! You haven't said anything regarding that.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Typhon has intentions for the IA itself, involving standard measure of hunger for power and greed, but they don't seem to have any motivations involving anything other than that.

I need to prove nothing to you. You'll see in time... Well, maybe not you.

So why would he care about any Tzarians?

<Snipped quote by Zyx>

*Continuing to search, I eventually hear a commotion coming from a nearby alley*

This was always meant to be, Dean! Father always intended for me to fall, just as he always intended for you to meet your end by my hand, just like Michael!

*Drawing closer, I round the corner and come face to face with Dean Winchester. In his hand is the Colt, the one false hope he and his brother had of killing me and preventing the Apocalypse*

And don't worry, I fully intend to give my coward of a brother exactly what he deserves once I'm finished with you.

*I slip my hands into my pockets*

You really should have said yes when he asked, though. You might have had a chance then... but now that I've taken control of my true vessel?

*I shrug, the motion carries a strange energy of casualness in spite of the grim circumstances and surroundings*

I'd be surprised if you lasted more than a second.

*I shake my head*

Sammy's gone Dean. Has been for a while, actually. It's just me in here now. So if you're going to shoot-

*Gestures to the gun in his hand*

Then you might as well do it already.



*I sigh before rushing forward at superhuman speed to grab him by the throat, smacking the revolver from his hand effortlessly*

Don't say I didn't give you the opportunity, Dean.

*My eyes flare red once more as I begin to squeeze, slowly strangling the life from his body. Before I can deliver a killing blow, however, a blinding light rockets down into Dean's body - sending me flying into a building on the opposite side of the street. The light subsides as I get to my feet, though the recognition in my eyes does not*

Michael...

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

So why would he care about any Tzarians?

As far as he's concerned, it's likely just them doing dirty work for him in a mutually beneficial arrangement. Nothing more.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Raises an eyebrow*
Maybe not me?

Yes. That depends on how well you think you'll fair alone against all of Cerberus's top dogs, and maybe also the choice of Tempo, here. Nothing against him, but this is the perfect opportunity to deal with you and incriminate the rest of your "Crew". Two birds with one stone. So, sorry, but you're not going anywhere until company arrives.

If you're throwing us to the dogs, why bother telling us any of this?

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Scowls*
He's sick. I told you to trust him exactly zero.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

If you're throwing us to the dogs, why bother telling us any of this?

Because I anticipate that you're smart enough to make the right call. You'll be free to go. I recommend doing so. Zyland here isn't worth much, and you'll get to spread the word.

Just because he's a member of this race you hate so much? What did he do?

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Because he supports the me from the most recent cycle. And I should know, I can cause the most problems of them all. Having a bit of his support structure dismantled for me will make things easier for everyone down the line.

<Snipped quote by Zyx>

Dean
*Brandishes the Colt, aiming it directly at the monster that's taken control of his brother*

I know you're still in there Sammy! You have to fight him, you hear me? You can't just give up and let this son of a bitch win! Not after everything he's done to the world! To us!

*I shake my head*

Sammy's gone Dean. Has been for a while, actually. It's just me in here now. So if you're going to shoot-

*Gestures to the gun in his hand*

Then you might as well do it already.

Dean
*The hand with which he holds the gun shakes, though his finger never leaves the trigger*

Goddamn it Sammy! I know you can hear me! Just fight back!

*I sigh before rushing forward at superhuman speed to grab him by the throat, smacking the revolver from his hand effortlessly*

Don't say I didn't give you the opportunity, Dean.

*My eyes flare red once more as I begin to squeeze, slowly strangling the life from his body. Before I can deliver a killing blow, however, a blinding light rockets down into Dean's body - sending me flying into a building on the opposite side of the street. The light subsides as I get to my feet, though the recognition in my eyes does not*

Michael...

*Dusting myself off and adjusting my tie, I saunter back out onto the street, arms open wide in a gesture of welcome*

I've traded one coward for another, it seems! Tell me little brother...

*My smile vanishes as my expression falls*

...why are you here?



*Blinks before cackling as my arms drop*

Stop me?! Oh that's rich coming from someone who ran like a dog at the first sign of danger!

*Continues to laugh until I eventually regain my composure*

Ah, at least Gabriel and the others made the attempt to stop me. You, on the other hand, just ran away to hide like the coward you are! Abandoning creation to its fate just like father!

*I step closer to thrust an accusing finger in his direction*

And now you want to do what? Waltz on back to play the role of savior in humanity's final hour?

*I scoff, my expression one of pure disgust*

What gives you the right?

*Shaking my head, I wave off Michael's response*

You know what? It doesn't really matter. I'm just glad you're back.

*I smile as I let my arm drop*

You know why?



*My body becomes suffused in a golden light as a pair of shadowy wings materialize on the ruined building behind me, and lightning strikes somewhere in the distance*

It's because I finally get to finish what father started, on my terms, not his.

*Lunges, landing a direct blow on Michael's chest that sends him flying across the city and through the interior's of several buildings*

<Snipped quote by Server>

Because he supports the me from the most recent cycle. And I should know, I can cause the most problems of them all. Having a bit of his support structure dismantled for me will make things easier for everyone down the line.

Have you tried to come up with some sort of compromise?

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Have you tried to come up with some sort of compromise?

Once upon a time. But if you give an inch, they take a mile. Being weak and compromising is exactly why we're here now. And, given it was a Tzarian who did him in, it's the reason Acacia is now without a father. And I wish it didn't take that to remind me of what's necessary.

*my form shifts and changes, revealing lighter armor, alongside my hammer splitting into two twin hammers, each wielding the same power as the original*

Zyland didn't do anything wrong! You're destroying the innocent!
