Then why not stop now? Why not stop while you can still change your image? While others will still accept you?

Because, David...
*I give an insane little giggle*
Because I don't want to. I don't like killing people unnecessarily, but the way I act now... It feels right. Like it is who I really am.

*Puts my hands on your shoulders*
That's not the real you. I can feel you convincing yourself that it is, because internally, you know this isn't the answer.

*shakes off your hands*
Either way, I'm still here... And I've done what I've done...
*looks up at two large double doors*
I think we're here

*silently puts the disc into a slot in the door. After a moment it clicks and the disc pops out. The door glides open silently. Stale air comes from inside.*
Life. Dead ahead.

Nice paradox.

*follows. The room is so dark that you can't see the walls. There is a shaft of dingy light. It falls on what looks like a little boy. He sits, crouched on the ground. Looking at something. He speaks in a sweet voce.*
You ... You're not my father. But you carry his disk. Why do you lie?
*his voice seems to shake the walls of the compound itself*

This doesn't sound good.

*I whisper*
David, the walls.
*now that our eyes have adjusted we can see black things resembling insects. We can't make out much detail because they overlap eachother as they crawl along the walls.*
The boy: You should leave before they figure out you aren't who you say you are. And before I lose my temper
*We realize the walls are shaking because the insects on the walls are repeating his words so that it seems the room is shaking.*

Well then. Would you look at that. Remind me again why we decided that it would be a good idea to come here.

You wanted to.

Did I?

[Araby264]

LegendBegins said
Did I?

Me: ...Yeah.
*the boy stands up and turns to us. His face has lines that almost resemble scars, but they are solid black and his eyes are glowing green. His blond hair seems platinum. He moves almost mechanically.*
Boy: I tried to protect my daddy, but they wouldn't let me... and he died. But I made them pay... And now... You come here, disturbing ashes none have touched in ages... Disguised as my daddy. What ever shall I do?

Let us go with a pat on the back and a smile that says "Hey, everything will be okay?"

*I say in warning*
David, I'm not strong enough to fight these things with my original power. We need to-
The boy: RUN
*the insects begin jumping off the walls at us and we see that they have centapede like bodies, but they have the faces of people. They begin to slice and snap at us.*

*Creates an ice shield all the way around us*
Okay, this thing isn't going to hold up for long. The exit is right there and this shield won't hold up much longer. I don't have the Artifacts, but I have the devil fruits. We need a plan, and quickly.

*thinking*
We.... We could bottle-neck them in the hall way, concentrate them so that they're easier to shoot at or slice at... Wait a second! The Hallway! We could get them to set off the Centuries in the hallway!

I would make a snide remark, but I'll not.

You're right not the time for snideness
*The insects begin to chase us, their centapede like legs clacking on the floor in a thunderous cacophony. I turn for a brief moment and slice my hand through the air, sending a blade of shadow to slice through them. It slices one into a quarter of what it was, but the rest keep coming.*

*Stomps as the walls behind us and everything on them freezes*
In case you can't tell, I really, really like this fruit.
