-
[b]Royal did as told, heading up the stairs and going through the door [/b]
-
"Have a seat. Would you like a drink?"
-
"No thank you. Just some answers." [b]He took a seat, looking for or at the man [/b]
-
[b]He sat down at the chair across from Royal.[/b] "So, let's start with why I came to the Dojo. I came here in search of important information you had at your disposal. The Incident with Watcher provided a perfect distraction for my men to attack your Dojo. If I would have wanted your Dojo to fall I'd do it right. My attack was an event to get you to notice that I needed to meet with you."
-
"I've never had someone attack the dojo to meet with me... So Uh. What do you need I guess?"
-
"First matter of business, I need the location of a man I've been hunting for a long time. He is known to many as Jason Corvus, newly selected CEO of The Unity Corporation."
-
"What exactly do you need that for? And what makes you think I have that information?"
-
"I didn't expect you to have the information yourself. Do you remember Cerberus by any chance? One of their officers hold the information I seek." [spoiler]I'm sorry if I spelled it incorrectly.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]WAAAAAIT. YOU'RE PLAYING INTO THE CERBERUS PLOT? [/spoiler] "I remember what it was, what it is. And what the copy is. So yes."
-
[spoiler]Not a major role, don't want to disrupt any major plots...[/spoiler] "All I need is the location of one of their officers, that's all I ask in regards to that matter
-
[spoiler]OH DEAR [/spoiler] "Yeah, I have a man on the inside. Jacob Taylor. Tell me the name, and I'll find the officer."
-
[spoiler]I swear, only reason I interacted with that plot is for information. I will leave the plot the second I get the information and will mind my own business.[/spoiler] "Name is Alexander Smith, once I get the information I need, I'll drop the Cerberus thing altogether. I have no quarrel with them..."
-
[spoiler]Oh no it's fine. Really no problem [/spoiler] '' I'll ask him. Try to figure it out. Come back in two days."
-
[spoiler]Cool[/spoiler] "Now, as far as the second and final matter goes, I have to warn you. Many people who want you and your Dojo dead have been alerted to your location, know your weaknesses, and know... well... many things. It wasn't all me, someone in your Dojo wanted/wants to distract you, keep you busy."
-
"I've noticed a few things that seemed off. Looks like it's really time for war."
-
"I'm afraid so. In any case, I know you got things covered, but if you need my men to assist at any point let me know." "Now, are there any other questions you need answers to?"
-
"I guess the main is, just who the hell are you exactly?"
-
"Who am I? Well, I guess I'm an ancient god-like creature, a shadow being, capable of existence in and traveling to all realities and dimensions. My current "host" if you will, who I don't use for much besides social interactions in your dimension, was tortured and tested in one of Unity Corp's laboratories. I've destroyed several plants, I've personally ripped apart a dimension, and have been the head of several major wars. All that being said, there has been many secrets and stories I don't wish to bore you with."
-
"Bore me? If you truly know anything about me, like you've previously stated. You should know, I don't get bored. My next question is this. Why would you help us?"
-
[spoiler]My story's are for another time...[/spoiler] "I only help you and your Dojo for the power, the people, and the knowledge you possess. Let's just say you caught my eye a long time ago..."
-
[spoiler]Hehe [/spoiler] "Uh huh.... My final question is this. The second voice. What was it?"
-
"That, is called Shade. Shades wander across dimensions, promising people solutions to problems a wishes. They fool people into straying from their own own paths and dimensions, eventually becoming consumed and becoming a Shade themselves."
-
"See, my father gave them a different name. The Soul Takers."
-
"Ah. I see. Their names vary from place to place."
-
"Indeed they do..." [b]Royal sighed [/b] "I suppose this brings us to a close?
