| A small cult of Kishin eggs gathered their next victim, abducting the young woman for a sacrifice from the middle of Rome. They carried the young girl many miles from her home, trusting they would be safe. As the leader of the cult raised his sword like arm to kill her, he himself was horribly impaled. The other kishin looked around, unsure of who had done this to their leader. Abruptly, the lights went out, leaving them in the dark. A streak of dark red seemed to shoot around the room, and as the lights flickered back on there was only the Death Scythe Sylas Hammer amidst a number of glowing souls, his axes slowly draining the power he had given them back into his soul. He walked over, cutting her free from the altar, even as his spears plucked the kishin souls from the air. A measly harvest of 16. He pointed to the door, watching her quickly run for it. |

| "NICE! They were all 'WE HAVE YOU NOW MY PRETTY' and you were all 'BAZINGAS' and they were like 'OH CRAP MY FACE'. Eheheheheh."
A construct, a simple knight, would step out of the darkness. "Heya, Sylas, how are you? You missed the deadline." |

| He looked dispassionately at the knight, eyes almost bloodshot, heavy bags under his eyes. "I've been busy, Ignatius. Horribly so..." He rubbed his eyes, letting out a slow sigh through his nose. |

| "Uh huh. Well, thing is, you also sicked Nebun on me, so, not very sympathetic. Of course, I learned that napalm is horribly effective against his troops. Anyways, yeah, deadlines up, releasing the virus, unless you can port back to Death City and grab eternal spring before I press the button that opens all those fun little canisters." |

| Sylas threw open a tear, stepping through it. Several moments later he reappeared, tossing holding the spring. It began to glow for a few moments before settling down. "Don't bring this to Africa. The train will find it."

| "Score!" A Raider would dash out of the darkness, and grab the spring, ferreting it off. "Hehehehehe. Unlimited energy. Really, the THINGS I can do with this are staggering. Yees, it will fit nicely within my plans... Anyways, dealing with Nebun, and now, Glaucon. I THINK I have a solution." |

| "I don't want to hear it..." His axes vanished, and he pulled his hood and his mask down. "I'm done with schemes. Commit strength to ending them, or get out of the way, Inker." He opened a tear, swallowing both the knight and himself, leaving him on the roof of a nearby church steeple. "It's time we stopped them, for good, instead of simply redirecting them." |

| "Yeah, thing is, I don't think we CAN, short of Power-Armor McKillSat showing up and deciding we can borrow his laser. Hence, why I have designed a way to seal them away, permanently. As in, shove them in another dimension where they can't bother us." |

| "Why not just steal the lasers?" He looked up, eyes, turning solid white before he closed them. "I'm going to keep hunting. Do you want to come?" |

| "Eh, why not, been awhile since I had a good challenge. Anyways, CAN we steal the lasers? I figure, robbing a satellite isn't the easiest job in the world." |

| He shrugged, opening a tear and walking through it, then swallowing the Knight with it. "Why not just hack them? Why actually steal them?" |

| "....Point. Actually, hacking them would be fairly simple, especially since I know WHERE they are, and they barely stopped me last time..."
The knight glanced around. "Where's this, then?" |

| They stood on a pair of tree branches, in the middle of a great forest. "I don't know. Austria, I think. I followed the Remnant. It... He felt some souls." Indeed, there were bonfires around the forest, and strange noises around the forest floor. |

| "....Yeah, let me handle this. I sense a recruitment opportunity." The knight would raise its hand, and a few Raiders would appear, using their unusual senses to peer into the darkness. "Raiders. Good for intimidation AND seeing into the dark." |

| "I'm not looking for more soldiers for you. I'm looking for power." He pressed his hands together, lifting off the branch and into the air. |

| "Same thing. Besides, every soldier I have is another soldier I can throw against Nebun in the final fight, giving your meisters a higher chance at surviving." The raiders would drop, and begin searching the forrest floor for the cause of the noises. |

| "And the more power I can gain means more strength against him. Tell me, what's more potent? Me, or a group of useless monsters?" The raiders would find a collection of many kishin eggs, 30 or 40 gathered around a collection of bonfires. |

| "....Yeah, this isn't even going to wet your whistle. Look, there are PLENTY of ways to increase your power. For example, I hear tell rumors of a clown capable of doing so with ease. However, you are going to want every meatsheild possible between you and your meisters. Look, if I can't convince them, THEN you can eat them. Fair enough?" |

| "Fine. Any of them you can't convince are mine." He dropped back onto the branch, causing it to creak gently. |

| The knight would drop, and approach the bonfire, surrounded by several raiders. "WHY HELLO THERE!" He would say to the Kishin Eggs. "My name is Inker, and boy, do I have an offer for you! You may have heard of my destruction of Berlin. Well, see, I'm looking to 'expand operations', and your group looks nice and fit!" |

| Some of the kishin looked at him, while others were too far gone to do more then growl at him. One of them, a monstrous creature with long arms ending in claws, approached. "What kind of offer?" |

| "Simple. Work for me, and you get protection from the acadamy. That, and the mortars filled with napalm aimed at your camp. Seems the military is aware of your location. Plus, we have an EXCELLENT dental plan."
The bluffs moved effortlessly off of Inkers tongue. Meanwhile, Sylas would hear whispering. "Feel free to lob a axe at this fellow when he disagrees. I recognize his type, they are RARELY reasonable, and he will make an excellent example." |

| OOC: Good. Because if it were, I would Admin-bend the fabric of Space and Time and murder him so fast.
The kishin seemed to tilt his head from side to side before reaching a hand out. "Deal." Sylas gave a small chuckle. "Maybe he was just smart enough to know what he was getting in to first." |
