Why must violence be the only outcome?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I warned you to see how you would react, and to give you an opportunity to save your friend. Isn't that a novel concept? The villain, killed by the heroes, offering a chance to save a friend that they don't take.

@Techspert

Wish I'd have known about it sooner.
Rythian: Are we past anything peaceful at this point?

@Valiance

Depends. Was peace ever really an option?

@Techspert

Rythian: It still is, if you're willing to negotiate.

@Valiance

It's not about my will. It never was.

@Techspert

Rythian: Oh? Then whose?

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Rythian: Oh? Then whose?

@Valiance

It should be obvious whose will it is.

@Techspert

*gets up*
What other outcomes are there then?

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Beating this dude and getting MD back!

@Techspert

Then you should explain it for the simple minded ones... Like my brother and I.

Every action has a result. Your actions change the results.

@Valiance

I am the simple Hummingbird. I cannot survive without drinking from the flowers directly in front of me. My body was not made to withstand punishment. However, I am a quick bird, with versatility in my wings. Yet I am still subject to the nature and elements that created me.

@Techspert

You're saying that you, of all people, have powers higher than yourself?

@Techspert

That's pretty obvious...and not what I was really looking for. So is there any way that We can get MD back and be on our way?

*Chuckles*
In a way. Do you care to meet him?

@Extra

I'm afraid the chance to save Midnight is long past. She is a part of the Nightmare now.

No. I'm afraid Mister Stream isn't as deeply rooted in this project as CB would like.

CB?

@Techspert

Define "meet".

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

CB?

@Extra

Irrelevant.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Define "meet".

@Valiance

Speak with.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Irrelevant.
