@TykiThough sheer will, Tide remains standing, shaking, waving off Mute's first attempts at helping, shambling towards the elevator.
"..I...will finish...this fight...." Tide says, blood pouring from under his helmet, his missing lung causing blood to flood into his mouth. He presses the button for the elevator to go down, wheezing loudly. "....Tide. You've won the fight as far as it was first concerned. Stand down..." The emperor says, as he gets onto his knees, and begins to pray. A bright light appears, one blinding to Mute. After a few moments, a woman appears, clothed in light. She walks over to Tide, and places a hand on him. His chest cavity rapidly heals, his lung reforming in his chest. After healing Tide, Klonos gives him a kiss on the forehead, as she goes to stand beside the emperor. Tide stands at the elevator, waiting for it to arrive still.
"I said, stand down." The Emperor states a second time. "...By empirical law 777....when it comes to matter of assault, it comes down to the assaulted how to handle the situation. He broke the rules of our arrangement...stole information not his...I'll make sure he never speaks it." Tide says, as the elevator doors open. The Emperor sighs, and pulls out his phone, calling the high general.
