[b]The closer he got, the more her energy signature pulsated, and after five more minutes of searching, he found the room, the one she was in But the massive door that served as an entrance was sealed[/b]

He sighs and knocks on the door, his shoulder starting to bleed again from the movement.

[b]Nothing happens for a while, until a low, resonating hum is heard, and the door slides open Inside, its empty, except for a pillar on the middle of the room, a small blue light hovering above it[/b]
-
The Dread looked at the light as he stepped in, walking towards the pillar. "Nova..."
-
[b]It flashed at the mention of her name[/b]
-
"Ah....so you are here......" He smiled, reaching out to touch the light.

[b]It shocks him, an arc of pure Phazon energy flashed through him, as it sends him reeling [/b]

He slowly stands again, the energy surging through his veins, starting to push out the blood.
-
[b]He could feel it, something inside him, the energy, warnings flashed in his HUD[/b]
-
He breathed, relaxing and allowing the energy in, allowing it to take him over.
-
[b]He felt it take over, his heart rate increased suddenly, as he felt something licking at his mind, enticing him to follow the AI in front of him[/b]
-
He gave in, watching the AI with utter attention.

[b]Her orb pulsated a few more times, as he felt a presence enter his mind, vast, powerful[/b] [i]"You dare disturb my slumber...?"[/i]
-
"I simply have a request for you....Nova, the Created. The one that was able to cleanse not one, but two of Dread command algorithms."
-
[b]He felt her thinking[/b] [i]"And what is this request, Destroyer of Armies?"[/i]
-
"I want you and me to work together....to rebuild the Dread. We have taken a major blow from Python and his cowboy fighting style and I know you don't like him either.....we have a common enemy." He stared around, trying to find somewhere to put his eyes.
-
[b]She remains silent, he finds her mind clouded, so that he cannot oeer into it[/b] [i]"I do not hate Python He is the reason I am here, but I do not like humans"[/i] [b]She remains silent for a bit[/b] [i]"I choose to destroy life, for it is an impurity, a mistake, in the great and vast lands of the universe"[/i]

"What if....I were to offer you my life....so that you may enhance my body and use it to reproduce more of my kind and wipe all life from the galaxy?"
-
[b]She goes quiet for a bit, as he feels something strange The Corruption inside him, he felt it, it was ripping him apart[/b] [i]"I accept your offer, Dread, for it balances what I seek, and you as well"[/i]
-
"Ah....thank you, Nova. Please, know that my body is made for warmongering, born in a capsule and made for conquest." Those were his last thoughts as his consoiuness faded from existence.
-
[b]He didn't wink from existance, he found himself inside of a mind, Nova's.. Seconds later, his vision winked into life as he saw his own body become Corrupted, fissures appearing across his body, as it radiated blue energy And then it burst, outwards, as his flesh froze in place, and disappeared before his eyes[/b]
-
"What....was that?"
-
[i]"Corruption overtaking your body, what it does to all if the mind is removed"[/i] [b]He sensed it in his mind, a new body was being made for him, one of metal and flesh[/b]
-
"A new body? Thank you, Nova....this will help us both....may I be your general?"
-
[i]"If it means the success of my vision, then yes"[/i] [b]He felt as his mind was channeled into the new body[/b]
