Still can't help but wonder what is going through their minds when they think the best decision right now is to attack a man with a gun on higher ground with nothing but melee weapons.

And wonder why they care so much too about just a single guy when they could get a lot of themselves killed or hurt with so little to gain if they succeed.
I guess Massey was right, these people are REALLY fucking stupid.
Can you jump rooftop to rooftop? You'll eventually be able to lose them for a little bit in the alleys after jumping a few, unless they know the territory well. This place looks like a fucking rat maze.

I'm not too bad, I guess. But before I can even point my firearm, they scuffle over to the wall on my side and disappear out of view. I cannot see them from up here. Shit! I can't stick around here.

> Can you jump rooftop to rooftop? You'll eventually be able to lose them for a little bit in the alleys after jumping a few, unless they know the territory well. This place looks like a fucking rat maze.

I look around and try to find another building I can possibly leap onto. I have to utilize the odd architecture of this place in order to lose my foes. I just hope that they don't know this place too well, despite it being literally a labyrinth.

To my right there is another building close by with the same height. I keep a reference of Massey's direction and sprint toward the roof. Using the momentum, I make a hefty jump for it. I land with as much grace as a fatass cop can manage. I look back to see that the feranthros are climbing up the staircase. They can easily catch up to me at this point.

Maybe add a kick in there.
Engage as little as you have too.

Do you have any other equipment?

Fucking hell! It must've dropped off me when that damn thing attacked me back there. Either way, this son of a bitch has it now. What am I going to do? Should I attempt a vault to the other side of the intersection and book it over to Massey? Should I try to provoke him to cause him to use up his ammo? Or maybe I could just carry out a good ol' fashioned firefight with him?

Hrrm...Part of me thinks you're probably a better shot than he is, but that thing sprays alot more bullets...
Well...You're the Link right? They have quite a bit of stock put into you, so I'm betting that feranthro won't be shooting to kill.
firefight between the advantages of being more skilled, and him having to shoot to capture rather than kill, you'd probably win that.

>>553464
That way of thinking relies way too much on their intelligence and a capability of holding back in a moment engulfed by their own hatred.
Besides, that feranthro said another link will always come along, all that happened was that whatever prophecy is delayed a little bit.
If Aiden dies, the cult will probably swoop in and kidnap the next link or something, if Aiden wasn't that is. You know, they know a lot of shit about you Aiden. Maybe they did do that. Put you in an orphanage under their control, see what you did, controlled what you became ever so subtly to be where you are today, to be used and tested in places appropriately.

Sorry, Aiden. Got lost track there.
Firefight regardless, because I don't want your own weapon shooting your own allies and you becoming the whipping boy of this operation gone south. Do not be the fuckup here.
Kill that son of a bitch and get your gun and whatever's left of your dignity back.

Put him down.

I hope that you're a quick draw.

Hm. Your rifle isn't built for a feranthro and their stubby twig arms. He can't use the sights, he doesn't have the strength to keep it under control with full-auto or likely even burst-fire, and the way he's holding it the recoil will kick him in the ribs. His shots will trace to his left if he fires in either of those modes. If he fires single-shot he's going to have to take time to recover and re-aim.

Bait him into taking the first shot. You'll have a narrow window to fire while he's recovering. Go center mass; Nothing fancy.

> Bait him into taking the first shot.

I take a deep, deep breath, hoping it won't be my last. I very swiftly pop my upper body out of cover and point my pistol at him. I almost immediately whirl myself back into cover, the feranthro firing a burst of four rounds. I pop out again and open fire. The first shot misses completely, but my second shot lands a direct hit at the base of his neck.

He falls to the ground in a heap, grabbing his wound and writhing in agony as he bleeds profusely. I run over to him and quickly end his suffering with a shot to the head. I reacquire my rifle, and with one final look at the corpse before me, I get ready to meet up with Massey, finally.

Do not kill Feranthro's in this district. Let 'em bleed and gurgle to death when you must.
I guess we should have directed you to that after the information you gave us earlier, our bad.

You know, consider radioing that little fact in. Don't kill feranthro's in this area, they transform into hostile abominations...
You don't have a bitchin' fire sword I realize. I have no idea how to kill this thing.
If that thing uses it's legs to move, shoot it in the joints a few times. If not, JUST RUN.

You need to cripple the enemy to even have a chance at running away, so fire full auto at that things legs and then start running away.

I can't. I can't live with myself if I just let someone die a slow and painful death. Even if it's a feranthro.

> You need to cripple the enemy to even have a chance at running away, so fire full auto at that things legs and then start running away.

I leap forward and whirl around. This damn thing is QUICK. I'd probably have no chance in running from it. It would definitely be more sensible to try and cripple it somehow. With hardly a second thought, I fire away at the thing's bony legs.

The creature gurgles with the break in his bone and kneels down. My God. Maybe...maybe I don't HAVE to run. I think I can take this fucker on! Or...can I? Damnit, I don't know. Does it just die like everyone else if I put enough bullets into it?

...It can be killed, though that was more Massey's sword doing it.
But, and you might burn off a bit of the Astoga in your body but I think it might obey you if you command it. Maybe.

Keep going for them limbs. It'll give you a chance to tell if you can cripple it permanently, and if not at least will give you a chance to run.

ANTHRO RUN YO ASS!

Survival always comes first so get to Massey and the reinforcements before another monster pops out from somewhere while you are worrying about this one.

>>553809
Why not? Why can't you condemn them to a slow painful death if it means it saves your life, or someone elses? You could technically have even saved that feranthro's life if you took the time to give him SOME medical attention. It wouldn't have been good odds, but it would have prevented this.

IF everyone thought like you about a slow, painful death, when the war comes, so many more people would die taking the chance they might not transform into this beast.

Just run, there's no point in even wasting the bullets. It'd be better to capture it alive anyway, for study.

In this specific situation...when I'm alone, without a large amount of expertise in treating a ruptured jugular, surrounded by killer feranthros, I find it preferable to just put an end to the victim's suffering and move on. I can't throw away any time here.

> ANTHRO RUN YO ASS!
> Just run, there's no point in even wasting the bullets. It'd be better to capture it alive anyway, for study.

I take the opportunity to run, not wanting to waste any ammunition in case things go knee deep in shit. I make a dash down a single, straight path, and my heart almost skips a beat with a turn around the corner. Inspector Massey and reinforcements are behind said corner. I almost kneel down in sheer relief.

"Sergeant! About fucking time! Are you hurt?"

"No...no, I should be fine," I say while checking my body anyway. "You?"

"Still standing. What is your situation?"

Now that I'm reunited with reinforcements...what is our next approach?

>>554137
Get the abomination for study?
You filled them in about dying feranthros becoming those right? They aren't killing them?
Because the police and militia are going to need measures against these creatures in the long term if death creates them.

Tell Massey that the tentacle monster is still alive but crippled and lead her and the reinforcements to it's last location.
Then let someone who outranks you make the decision about capturing or killing the monster.

"No, but I will if I have to, Sergeant. Why do you ask me this?" she questions.

"I just...have a hunch feranthros might be turning into those things when they die. It's a possibility."

Massey takes my words in and is thoughtful for a moment. "Perhaps," she begins, "but where did you find the creature?"

> Tell Massey that the tentacle monster is still alive but crippled and lead her and the reinforcements to it's last location.

I lead her over to the alley where I confronted it after telling her about how I crippled it.

"It'd probably be better if we could somehow take it in alive. It might help research quite a bit," I suggest to Massey. "Otherwise, we - " I halt in my tracks upon seeing that the creature is gone. Somehow I expected this, but we're obviously not in a good position right now.

That's a good way to get myself stabbed next. I have to weaken it first.

The other two officers and I start to unload on the damn abomination. It's clearly being affected by the barrage of bullets, but it takes it better than I had hoped. All we are doing is wasting ammo it seems. There has to be a better way to take this thing down...maybe a weak point? The leg I shot is still snapped partially and it is balancing mostly on its other leg.

Shoot at bone
always bone. It shouldn't be any more durable than the bones of a regular feranthro. you break more, the more it's immobile. Muscle tissue is significantly damaged, making it more difficult to move, but the less stable bones its got to balance on, the more it can't do to you.

It's flesh must be taking all the damage, it's bones seem to be weak or brittle. Perhaps because of the mutations?

If there's any exsposed bone, target that first. Aim for it's other leg if you can. Keep backing up, don't let it close the distance.

Massey suddenly butts in. "Get the hell back! Don't let the fucker near you!" I take aim at the creature's other leg and fire away. The bone chips away as easily as the other and the creature falls flat on its stomach. It buries its two bony arms into the ground and the officers blast them away as well.

The monster writhes and squirms violently on the ground, something hideous just coming to my view. There is a massive, disturbing FACE on the thing's back. The face grimaces and contorts with the wriggling of the monstrous body it's attached to. Even the officers hold fire to stare at the horrifying sight. A pool of blood starts to form around the creature.

It's practically unable to do a damn thing now. How do I carry this out? I look toward my peripherals to see Massey brandishing her blade. I could let her kill it...or use the Astoga this time. I feel something might happen if I were to...

Astoga throw! We don't want to get in that monstrosity's reach!

Use the Astoga, but don't get close. We may be able to get answers somehow.

> Astoga throw! We don't want to get in that monstrosity's reach!

I shout to Massey, "Inspector, wait!" She gazes over at me, looking more bitter than usual. "I have to do something." I dig around in my pockets and pull out the Astoga I brought with me. I carefully walk up to the downed creature.

"Sergeant, what the hell are you doing?" she questions.

"This might give me answers. The power inside me seems to be growing. Maybe I can..." I don't know what to say after that. I feel almost like I'm blabbering pure drivel - like someone is talking out of me.

Not wanting to be touched by the creature, I keep my distance and lean forward while kneeling down. I try to jab one of the tentacles with the needle and actually manage to hit one. Swiftly I pump the Astoga into its veins. Almost immediately I can feel my head swimming, and everything's...

I start to feel myself coming to. My vision gets less swirly as blood returns to my head. In front of me, the creature no longer stirs. It's dead. I turn around and see Massey struggling to get up from the ground. The other two officers are not affected, but are observing us with great worry.

"Oh my God, I thought you two just suffered from aneurisms," one of them says. I look back at Massey, who is seated down and massaging her temples. I can remember the vision...or flashback...very clearly. I want to talk with Massey about it...and if she even saw the same thing as me.

Do not talk about it out in the open. Check up on her and help her back to base then you can discuss it in private.

If you need to mention anything say these things have some sort of mental attack so to be careful.

>>555223
What does the body look like?
If it's effective, we should start making dart guns loaded with Astoga for the creatures... or not so we never fucking pass out again. It seems to only effect the link and those effected most by the link, ergo, anyone that hangs out with you. If that shit autokills the creatures, making sure they're only used by people you haven't been in contact with long and that you are nowhere nearby if you can help it.

Something tells me that if this were to happen around Mel, he'd suffer an attack almost as bad as you suffer one.
If everything in Middle City goes to shit, let us make note to not be near Mel at most times in case of a sudden attack. You're probably engineered to survive the worst this link can come to offer, and Massey, even Weathers, is made of sterner stuff than Mel.

I restrain myself. It wouldn't be wise to openly talk about this in front of the other two officers, as much as I just want to let it out. I help Inspector Massey off, but she nudges me away, sweeping herself off.

One of the officers speaks up, "We have to get out of here." With assistance from the other officer, he hauls the body of the casualty onto his back and lifts him up. "There's a medical vehicle coming."

"Right. We should leave while the feranthros are scared off," I respond in agreement.

> Plan to administer Astoga on every feranthro in custody, just to be safe!

I'll keep that in mind.

> What does the body look like?

Still looks as hideous as it always did. Something about the horrible face tells me he didn't necessarily feel good while in this form.

"How do we get out?" I ask.

"They know the way," Massey says gruffly, still looking bothered. "Let's leave. Now."

"What about the creature? Are we going to leave it here?"

"We're in the middle of dangerous territory. We can't stick around longer than we need to so that we can drag this husk out."

Together, we make our way out of the hellish labyrinth once and for all.

Hey, Weathers, inspect the feranthro bodies if he leaves you alone. I think there's a few here.

Dive, Weathers! Get out out of his line of fire! He wouldn't be pointing a gun at you in this situation unless he intended to use it. He's shaking so bad his aim is gonna be shit. Just put distance between you two so he doesn't have a an easy target. You can yell questions at him once you're behind cover.

There's a lot of thoughts going through my head right now. I feel different...this new body...I feel stronger in some places, like I can run for miles and miles without getting tired.

I kick my feet off the ground and jump forward, right next to the cop. I have to get the weapon off his hands and get some answers. I kick his hands and he drops the pistol, which flies to the other side of the room. He's already pretty weak. I don't think he can be much of a threat to me now.

"I'm sorry, but I had to do that. I didn't want you to shoot me," I say. The officer just laughs.

"Then finish off what you started, you crazy fuck." What? Is he implying I did this? Why would I just kill these people?

"Look, I don't know what's going on, okay? My name's Stan, Stan Weathers."

"Yeah yeah, I know what your fucking name is," he scoffs. "You're a real piece of work. You seriously can't remember?"

"R-remember what?"

"Heh, screw it. Just kill me already." He seems really eager to die, for some reason. He might have called in reinforcements. I really can't stick around for too long.

I can hear the wailing of police sirens growing louder. I'm going to do one last thing...and then I'm getting out of here. Inspect a body for goods or continue to help him?

"i'm pretty sure i need more astoga."

...tell me what happened.

help him. You don't know what's going on but at least you can help him out for when the cops come.
Given the blackouts and the mark you found on your stomach before...Probably safe to assume whatever that was might be behind this. You sure didn't intend on this!

Can you at least tell us who he is, and why he's here? Was he dragged here? Or was he investigating a lead and got his squad shot by... us I guess? Sorry, this is the anthro side that's back in consciousness we think. Explain you have no idea how this transformation process works at all, just that you were in the infirmary last you remember and full anthro. You're in the in between point and guess that if like, fernanthro's have hiveminds or weird psychic abilities than that takes over or there's like this weird separate mindset that's yourself and than the other weird hivemind thing that probably takes over... the fuck do feranthro's brains work?

This is the sane I do not want to kill my fellow officer's side of my brain consciousnesses or whatever's left of it. After this, the Weather's mind will probably be gone...
hivemind thing... weird voices... mechanics... us...
Weather's, if I told you that Massey and Sgt. Aiden just fought a tentacle monster, does that thought enter your brain? Do you now have that in mind now?
How about I tell you that if you die, you probably will turn into one of those things? Does that enter your mind too?

I have no idea why I think it's possible to give other character's OOC knowledge, but I just do. For some reason I think Massey, Aiden, and Weather's might have a mental link instead of us just switching to a different chracter like this is GTAV. It doesn't sound impossible, considering all this weird psychic migranes and mind control feranthro's can do

> "i'm pretty sure i need more astoga."

I kneel down one leg and say, "I need Astoga. Do you have any?"

The officer laughs. "Astoga? What do you need that for? Do you think it's going to help change you back? Do you think it'll undo all your problems?" He winces and looks away. "Either way, I don't have any. Now piss off."

> ...tell me what happened.

"Tell me what happened," I demand. The officer gazes at me with disgust.

"You haven't figured that out yet? I'd rather not indulge you and set you off again, you prick."

> Can you at least tell us who he is, and why he's here? Was he dragged here? Or was he investigating a lead and got his squad shot by... us I guess?

I have no idea who he is, who all the others are, and why they are all dead!

I can slowly start to recall some things...some things I don't think I ever had knowledge of...kinda like recalling random events in a dream and carrying it with you after waking up. But I can't dwell on this right now!

> help him. You don't know what's going on but at least you can help him out for when the cops come.

"Here...Sir, let me help you at least. Those wounds are - " The officer vigorously swats me and pushes me away.

"Get the fuck away from me! Don't touch me, just put a damn bullet in my head already!" he shouts. "It was so easy for you before. You even laughed, you crazy shit...God..."

Damnit...this is a waste of time. I need to get out. Now.

I have a few ways to escape it looks like. There's the front door, a window in the back, a door at the end of a short hall, and a trapdoor in said hall.

Can you remember any radio frequencies you can call? Check the dead cop for a radio then go out through the window. You're not going to be able to help this guy directly. Best chance is to contact Massey or Schar. Do you know anyone on the force that patrols the middle city besides Schar and Massey that you might try to contact?

> Can you at least tell us who he is, and why he's here? Was he dragged here? Or was he investigating a lead and got his squad shot by... us I guess?

Those questions were for him, sorry about that. I'd like to go through the trapped door.
>>556638
If you do find a radio and get Aiden, give an accurate situation report. Including your transformation and lack of knowledge of what exactly happened. That you've been probably turned into a sleeper agent or something and attacked these officers, but you went back to a normalized state, pre-sleeper. Confess you don't really understand how sleeper agents work, or if it's even the right word. Your last concious memory was of your infirmary visit. An injured officer reports that you were acting sociopathic before you were knocked unconscious and become your non sleeper self. Please send a medic at...
Hey officer, what's the address?
Whatever, tell them you will not linger at the address for long. You know that you're dangerous and may enter your trance again at any time. You'd try to bind yourself, but honestly, it's hard to do that by yourself and some bad shit might go down. You have no information about what has happened between your infirmary visit and now, or when the transformation took place.

I'm telling you to admit all this because I don't think you can even have a career anymore, no matter what we try to keep secret or to ourselves. Sorry Weathers. Just try to screw up as many of the fanatic feranthro plans as possible and gum up the works by getting a lot of police attention to things as possible so no authority figures can try to cover it up.

Out the back window and far away as possible from the crime scene.
Before you go take a quick look around for a cape or a poncho because you are covered in blood and have that symbol carved to your chest.

No...no, I don't know anything about that. At least, not at the moment...

I go over to the cop corpse and manage to find a radio.

> Before you go take a quick look around for a cape or a poncho because you are covered in blood and have that symbol carved to your chest.

I can't find anything like that right now. I don't have anymore time. Hopefully I'll come across something as I get away.

> Out the back window and far away as possible from the crime scene.

I set my sights toward the window and slide it open. Quickly, I scramble out of the house and land on a makeshift balcony. I press up against the wall and away from sight of the window. I hear the door being busted in and a lot of yelling.

"Outside! He went out the window!" I can hear the wounded cop say. I can't catch my breath yet.

Observing my surroundings, I have three different ways to go. I can go up the ladder and onto the roofs, I can drop down into the alleyways, or I can go into the window of the house in front of me.

>>557158
You said you were more powerful and stuff right? Clearly roof jumps are the way to go.

Climb on the roof to get a quick picture of your surroundings and then start running in whichever direction seems like the best.

>>557158
Go up on the roof and knock the ladder off the balcony behind you, that should slow them down a bit. Also, you are still carrying the gun. If you were cornered, would you be willing to use it on them? If not, then its only use is making you seem like more of a threat.

I have no idea what's going on. I can't just throw this away right now...

I head up the ladder and onto the roof of the house in front of me. I make sure to take the ladder and drop it down into the alleyway.

Scanning the area while on the roof, I manage to see that I'm close to an industrial zone. It doesn't look like there's much activity there...and there should be plenty of places to hide. I quickly make my way there, bounding across the rooftops.

I make my way inside of a warehouse. It looks like not a single person came in here for a while. There's junk scattered everywhere and it's pretty dusty. I hide between some barrels and curl up, taking a breather. I have to relax now...this is the best time in this crap I'm in. It's nice and quiet. It's almost homey.

I seriously feel like crying right now. I'm so confused and afraid. Why did I kill those people? Why am I a feranthro? There are so many thoughts in my head, but I have to focus. I need to regain my lost memories...but I don't know where to start. I need to think...think!

Guessing whatever is trying to mind control everyone got a hold of you for awhile and used your body to go nuts. Those memories will be pretty painful if you can even get to them. But if you can remember what happened and get the info to Aiden he could probably help out.

You also need to work on a way to avoid getting taken over again. Either getting more drugs or building up your willpower somehow.

For now finding a disguise so you can move around without getting shot would be nice.

Whats the last thing you remember before waking up at that shack? Also you gotta find out the current date so you know how long you have been out.

Take a look at the Mark on your chest and the bandage on your leg.

I have to focus. I need to dig into my mind...try to find something. Something that can help me. My eyes trail down to the mark on my stomach. I close my eyes and see something. I'm seeing out of my eyes, but in a different...time..or place, and I'm holding a knife. This was when I was an anthro. Oh God, am I CUTTING myself? I don't remember this at all! What the hell!

"Wh-who is that?!" I point my gun at a figure standing at the other side of the chamber. It's...who the hell is that? What should I do?

I hear it call out, "There's no need for that, young one."

Don't forget what happened last time you saw/stared at her; you blanked out for a while and managed to lose your gun. We don't want a repeat performance of that.

Those bullets will most likely do nothing if they hit her. It could be useful if you want to attract attention. (which may be a valid escape to this situation this time)

Best thing to do is to not look directly at her and to ask her what she wants to do with you. At least you can learn *why* you are what you are now.

Weathers, whatever you do, DO NOT look directly at her.

try a shot. then put hand over your eyes.

and try thinking hard at/about Massey.

>>557869
You, you've been following me and Aiden around! You turned me into this didn't you? You made me cut myself. You brainwashed me and turned me into an unwilling traitor, murderer and psychotic!

I start to remember something and immediately turn my eyes away from her, giving very quick glances to make sure she doesn't pull something. I saw this feranthro back at that factory...yeah, I remember that now. She is who they call "Yuseta." I can feel a very powerful aura, like my mind is struggling to avoid linking to hers.

She chuckles when she sees me look away. "You learn quickly. You will also remember quickly."

> You, you've been following me and Aiden around! You turned me into this didn't you? You made me cut myself. You brainwashed me and turned me into an unwilling traitor, murderer and psychotic!

"You're the one who was tormenting me! You turned me into this! You turned me into a psychotic murderer!"

The mellow smile on Yuseta's face sinks into a frown. "Did I? I had better plans for you. All I wanted was to grant you a portion of the Advocate's power."

"What are you talking about?"

"When we first came upon you, we sensed a peculiar but mighty power lying within you. You've been greatly affected by the Link, moreso than others that came into contact with Caelus. You had the capabilities to harness the Advocate's power...at least, this is what we once thought. Unfortunately, you are unstable."

"Unstable? You ruined my life!"

"Now, now," she sighs and then continues, "all of this is very necessary. We must perfect our craft and create a divine following to wash away the impure. We must utilize everything that we can." Yuseta starts to amble towards me.

"Fuck off!" I say while gesturing with my gun. "Don't come closer!"

"Don't be foolish," she hisses. "In your current unstable state, you are not only a threat to our righteous plans, but also to everyone around you. You must perish. Do you understand this?"

>>558015
First off, lady you are crazy. Second, if Aiden is the advocate she's on about he is kinda protective of you and you might wanna roll with that angle.
He already thinks you freaks are nutso, I dont think killing his fellow officer would really score anything with him but a personal swear to hunt all y'all creepazoids down

"i am unstable because you tried to use a link before it finished forming. you have no patience, if you let the link grow stronger, stabler, it would have worked you say you can wait, but it's obvious you are trying to rush it"

Okay that last post was long winded and likely not to do much for you Weathers and full of stupid when questions would just work better and i'd rather try something else.
Just question if she even knows what impure even means when it comes to advocate and link. What if she's as impure as the one she calls impure? Impossible? If she thinks blindly that the prophecy will without a doubt excuse her then she's as much of a fool as you if you were to try and shoot her.
Can she count on that Link not working against her? That it won't be her own undoing? That her plan had any merit from the start because it's not going to backfire on her? The Link might be meant to have destroyed her from the beginning. It's bullshit Weathers you're saying at this point but I want her to think for a moment. Or laugh it off. Or make her concerned. It'll tell us something.

You know what Weathers... try and use the Link she's talking about. Do the linky thing and give her a headache and freak her the fuck out.
You got a strong connection, she says you're a threat. Raise your arm and like go "shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo" and be the threat you're supposed to be.
and uhh maybe try and be Yuseta for a moment Weather's. Just trust your instincts. You can do it man.
Be Yuseta. Hurt Yuseta. Get in her brain. I don't care if it sounds like nonsense man.
Do it.
Remember Aiden. Remember the blanks in your brain. Fill those fuckers. Think Massey. Think about memories.
Mel. Caelus. Orphanage. Yuseta. Massey. Tentacle Beasts. The Link. Masked Man. You are Aiden. You are Massey. You are Yuseta. You are Mel. You are all the kidnapped Officers. You are now the Advocate. You are the Link. You are Caelus. You are your Mom. You are your Dad. You are Weathers. Spam these thoughts. When nothing comes try and get them again. And again. And again. Very quickly. You don't have a lot of time before she gets you. Just SPAM them. Spam the blanks. Try everything.

I don't really feel like arguing here...
Can't we just kill her, too?

>>558050
because i doubt guns can kill someone like this.

>...Threat to everyone around you
Even if that's true, she is a bigger threat to all you care about than you are. So long as you continue to fight and eventually defeat her, you will have brought a net good to the world.

Don't give up Weathers, Fight the good fight!

>>558015

Tell this bitch to go die in a hole.

Get ready to leg it Weathers.

Look around, she may have brought help.

>>558015
Shoot and run.

She wants to kill you -- now isn't the time for words. Seconding shoot and run like your life depends on it.

"Are you fucking serious?" I say. "You're a hypocrite! You and your plans are a threat to everyone too!"

"All for a greater purpose," she replies. I'm getting sick of this. I think about something...if she says my power is great, then maybe...

I try to tap into her. I focus all the energy in me to try and affect her with my mind. I can feel something happening...like a part of me just ejecting from my body. The aura is becoming stronger, and I can feel myself breaking past a barrier. I can start to see something...images that aren't within my own thoughts. Immediately, I'm pushed away, and the image fades. I couldn't make it out.

"Impressive, but if you hope to do anything with that power, you must perfect it. You must nurture it. Unfortunately for you, this cannot happen. There is another body that shares the same strength, and I am honestly quite shocked at this." She looks thoughtful for a moment, and I take this moment to sidestep away to the door. "Where are you going?"

Everything is a blur. I'm hearing voices, but it's like they are being put into a blender.

"Hm?! What is this? Not dead? What have you done to this poor cat?"

"So. The turncoat shows his face again."

"You cannot get away with these heinous practices, Yuseta. You are destroying lives. I do not understand."

"And I do not understand how you can shirk your righteous duties so suddenly. You are full of surprises, Jai, but it seems you aren't the only one."

"If you continue these experiments of yours, no doubt your schemes will fail. No doubt."

"Everything is going according to plan, Jai, don't you worry. That includes your imminent destruction, which will bring me much relief."

"As long as I'm standing, I will do everything in my strength to hurt your...hm?"

I can feel a little bit of power welling up in my chest. Enough power to utter one last plea. "Why is everyone...trying to hurt me? Leave me alone...just leave me alone." I'm fading.
