"Well then, looks like Tywin took it upon himself to buy them out. Sal would be pissed if he saw his men like this...."

"Forget Sal, I'm pissed about this." Falk remarked in a hushed tone. Then, another man stepped out of the helicopter. His black cane with an ivory wolf pommel came first before his feet. He wore a thick dark grey wolf pelt cloak around his neck and wore a dark blue bear pelt coat around his body. He wore black underneath it all which included his thick Kevlar vest and black suited pants which tucked into his boots. However, he wore medieval gauntlets on his hands which seemed to emanate some form of power. His long white yet greying hair was unkept as his pale face looked dead ahead. Tywin Coldbourne was here.
-
Zane felt his anger building up from just seeing this man. He suppressed his urge to raise the rifle and shoot Tywin right in his smug face. "There he is....."
-
Then, Zane saw what was strapped around his body. The familiar weapon that Zane himself had used to defeat his nemesis repeatedly in the past. The blade that ended up killing his friend. The Infinite Blade. It was sheathed on the gruff man's back as he walked down the man made hall. He put his hand to his kept goatee but quickly lowered it casually as he made his way towards the base. "That bastard..." Falk whispered.
-
"Don't worry, il kill the bastard the same way he executed Alex...." He whispered back.
-
"Keep it quiet for now." Falk told Zane. "We aren't exactly in healthy company." Then, one of the armoured men announced to the crowd. "MAKE YOUR WAY INTO THE BUILDING. THE EMPEROR HAS A FEW WORDS TO SAY TO YOU USELESS CODS." He insulted. Everyone suddenly turned to the direction of the building, and Falk followed suit.
-
Zane followed suit, and kept up with a brisk pace as he drew closer to the building.
-
As the two entered the massive building and were filed in like sheep, Zane got a lay of the land. There were guns all across the sides of the walls, but they looked like they were cleared for this meeting. There was a massive stage set up at the head of the large warehouse on which Tywin stood. There was a podium in front of him, and he waited for the remainder of the men to file in. The massive doors to the building closed shut, but Zane spotted exits on both sides of the stage. Then, Tywin started on a high note. "You are all pathetic." He told the army discouragingly.
-
He chuckled inside his mind, but kept quiet and continued to listen.

The fact that you are all so fu[i]c[/i]king incompetent is blowing my damned mind." Tywin continued to scold. "His pep talks are incredible." Falk whispered to Zane sarcastically.
-
"Truly some of the best words, this man just shits excellence." He whispered back.
-
"But this last failure? That was where you all had blew it completely. You lost, an atomic bomb. Think about that for A DAMNED SECOND AND BE BLOODY ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES YOU IDIOTIC CLODS!" Tywin exclaimed now, his voice in a yell. The man was furious. "And by who? Not a damned army. Not a fu[i]c[/i]king spec ops team or some God that hates you all, which is me right now by the way, but a single...woman."
-
He went back to being silent, but in his mind he had already came up with a dozen ways he'd make this man suffer.
-
"Zane." Falk whispered. "Did you hear that last bit?" He asked as Tywin rambled on.
-
He nodded, then raised his finger to his mouth and motioned for Falk to be silent.
-
Zane could hear Falk curse under his breath as Tywin went on. "This...Revenant, as you have taken to calling her. Is nothing more than a bug that needs to be crushed under your damned heels. The revenant has acted so predictably you should ha e caught onto the fact that every valuable shipment you had needed to be guarded MUCH. MORE!" Then, a man suddenly spoke out. "S-sir! The bomb was protected with tanks and soldiers! We did everything we could-" Then, Tywin raised his hand. A lightning bolt shot from his palm which hit the man who spoke out. Then man quickly turned to a pile of ash... There was a murmur around the event but Tywin continued on. "Maybe if you weren't such a Naive -blam!- you would have lived, and saved the god damn shipments!" Tywin insulted again.
-
Zane continued to listen to this man rant, and acted "shocked" like the rest of the men.
-
"Failure. Is. Unacceptable. That is a simple fact." Tywin continued. "You are supposed to represent the finest military this damned world has ever seen, it's time to earn those pay checks. Or, your lives for some of you." He told the army coldly. Zane noticed now the collars around some soldiers necks. "So. Here's the plan. You all stop being colossal fu[i]c[/i]k ups, and I'll get back to running this damned world. Is that understood?!" The entire army raised their hands to their foreheads in salute. Falk was slightly delayed but he raised his hand to his forehead as well.
-
He was quick to recover, and saluted as well at Tywin. [i]"Oh I'm gonna murder the shit outta you..."[/i]He thought to himself
-
"Outstanding." Tywin said. "Oh...and one more thing. I'm about to solve...a SERIOUS problem for you." Tywin stated. Suddenly he raised his hand behind him, and a rope seemingly made from electricity shot from his hand. It wrapped around something no one could see and pulled it close to him. That was when Zane heard a [i]yelp![/i]. Tywin took whatever it was and grabbed above the rope, and he then brought his closed fisted hand down on the podium, but it stopped above it. However there was an audible [i]SMACK![/i] as he did so. He drew a massive revolver from his coat and pointed it at the figure who formed in front of everyone Anne. Her skull was bleeding but she was wide awake as Tywin held the gun to her head "Look who it is. The twilight Princess, my former sons sweet heart. How adorable." Tywin told her menacingly. "You seriously didn't think I saw this coming from a mile a fu[i]c[/i]king way?" Falk began to move forward, if he did this Zane and his cover would be blown.
-
He raised his hand and placed it on his friends shoulder, shaking his head and motioning for him to stop.
-
Falk turned to Zane angrily, his face clearly distressed. "What the hell are you doing?!" He mouthed to Zane. Tywin brought Anne's head up. She was still almost a head shorter then the man, so that made it easy for him to yank her up and dig the barrel of his gun into her jaw. "Bastard!" Anne let out. The army began to murmur. "Oh come on now dear princess! You must've been prepared for something like this! Or is my army really so incompetent that they have been losing to an emotional girlfriend?!" Tywin said again to the army. "Not only that, but you did something I am very well aware of. A typical Nightingale tactic really. You cause enough stress for an army, you attract the leader. I suppose you learned something in that town on the Tatakoi plains...." "Agh! Just shut up! Shut up!" Anne demanded. Her face was beat red with anger. "Oh come now, what are you feeling now is simply you stepping in your own laid trap! You would not be the first idiot who's tried to trick me girl!"
-
"Not yet Falk....We need to wait for an opening. If we strike now he'll just shoot her in the head." He whispered back.
-
"Are you boys just going to stand there bickering or are you going to do something?!" Tywin suddenly said. This attracted Falk's attention and he looked at Tywin who stared right at the two. "Well? Why don't you two make your way to the middle there hmm? I wanna get a look at your ridiculous get up." The army formed a hall in the centre of the warehouse. Tywin pointed the gun at the free space before he raised it back to Anne's face which was now terrified.
-
Zane approaches Twin and cleared his throat to changed his voice, a talent he learned from his sister when he was still with the clan. "Sir, apologies for interrupting. We were arguing because we thought killing this bitch wouldn't be worth you time, and her blood would ruin your suit. Please, allow us to do so, and spare you the effort so that you may use that effort elsewhere."
-
Tywin looked at Zane blankly. He blinked slowly as Anne stood in reform with the gun pointed to her head. Falk walked beside Zane and stood at his side. "....Really." Tywin just said. "That's...that's what you are going with. Are you sure?"
