“Get that needle out of Massacre! That’s what is causing this current state he is in; that includes Epitome!”. He looks at Epitome, “You want to protect Massacre, then get that needle out of him and work with Kai, Ender and the Nobodies to do so; prove you are not Project Epitome’s puppet and take the first steps to freedom and peace, even a family.”. He tells Epitome as the Nobodies all show they agree with their leader. Epitome senses that these creatures are not obeying like servants but as followers by choice and loyalty. “Kaita…Maita…VAITA!”. Zablex lets loose a rallying cry and the Nobodies seem to repeat it in their whispering tongue. They charge, groups working as one to attract Massacre’s focus while the others work to get the needle out.
Epitome scowled before yelling “NO! Needs it! Keep stable! Need body!” He yelled waving at the ship, Massace who had been roaring as he crushed nobodies beneath his fists, still mainly aiming at Zablex, suddenly cut off as Epitome yelled suddenly arcing his head towards him before charging, crushing nobodies as Epitome started to smile again.
Zablex keeps evading, he is proving his point of not wanting to hurt either one of them.
Massacre, seeing Zablex avoiding him, suddenly turns, leaping over a few nobodies and smashing into any unlucky enough to end up below him, finally reaching the ones holding Epitome before smashing some of them down as he reached out for the struggling, maniclly grinning Epitome.
Masdor and Strider teleport to where Bailey, Hanzo and Sar are. They quickly pull out their weapons and start slaying fallen. “What the f*ck are these things?!” yells Strider.
“Omniscience.” Massacre suddenly grunted, slamming through the last of the nobodies to grab Epitome, curling around him before slamming into the shield wall, cracking it, a large groan sounding as his body continued to move forward ever so slightly.
Hanzo jumps into the ship waiting for them.
“Come on Marka!”
Strider and Masdor wait for everyone to get on the ship before they do.
Hanzo reached out to grab Markas hand.
He realizes that all four of them had been beamed up into the Empress’ cargo hold as it went out of the atmosphere. “Now! Drop the Planet Buster!” Sar said as a huge bomb capable of tearing apart the planet was dropped, the ship moving well out of the blast radius, but still within distance to see the planet explode.
“Death is coming.” Omniscience suddenly monotoned, a sense of… nothingness emanating from him as he froze in his dreamscape before returning to normal, panicking again as Massacre stood up, sliding down from the shield, still clutching the currently more insane and deranged than usual Epitome.
Several lights started flashing on the Console of Three’s ship, “Gravitational disturbance associated with the dissolution of an orbital mass detected. Triangulating source.”
“That’s a big-a*s bomb” Strider says as they fly away.
“Why yes it is.” Sar said as he started heading for the control room.
Trey’s scanners detected the ship.
Hanzo yells out to the ship members
“We gotta go! Kar-Em is back!”
Marka gets to a gunner station and calibrates it to Kar-em and takes aim. He waits until he feels he has a good shot and lets all Erebos break loose from his weapon.
Trey hailed the ship.
Marka answers, “Sorry but I must ask you stay out of my line of fire, I’d hate to fill out paperwork for collateral damages.” He growls, he wants to destroy Kar-em and doesn’t want anything getting in the way.
“Are you shooting at me?” He asked.
