[corruptedelysium]

Seeing your choices in "muses" mundane, I can see why you chose me. If you allow me, I will assure you my being here will be beneficial for all of you.

Hm? What did you say? "X" will be unhappy? Don't be absurd. I know what's best for all of you.

Comments

[iamthemessiah]

If X is unhappy, then that's quite fine. He doesn't know what's best for all of us, especially your dear, sweet mun.

[corruptedelysium]

...you. What are you doing here?

[iamthemessiah]

What do you think?

[corruptedelysium]

Have you finally realized your mistakes and reconsidered my offer? If so I would gladly re-modify that outdated body of yours into a more perfect one.

[iamthemessiah]

As tempting as the offer is, I must decline. This body is perfect on it's own.

[corruptedelysium]

That body is far from perfect. It's disgusting and simply too inferior. It belongs in the trash, like all other older models.

[zsaber]

Who are you?

[And why didn't that sound like a request?]

[corruptedelysium]

My, your body must be faultier than I realized. If you must know I am Cial. We have met before, Zero.

[Unfortunately.]

[zsaber]

I don't think so.

[Pause.]

What are you planning that would make X 'unhappy'?

[corruptedelysium]

[No recognition? She decides not to press the issue due to multiverse shenanigans. ...for now.]

Whatever do you mean? There is nothing I have done for anyone to be unhappy. It's simply a misunderstanding.

... Okay I've searched but I have no idea where she is from- a doujin? Manga adaptation?

[bettertopunchyouwith]

... Beneficial in what way?

[corruptedelysium]

Why, beneficial in where there is no more strife or conflicts. I do so hate the idea of humans forced to live a hampered life.


(ooc: Yes to the manga adaptation! She's from this one to be precise.)

[zsaber]

A misunderstanding? [Doesn't sound like he's buying it.] Perhaps you should explain your side, then.

[corruptedelysium]

Very well.

[Her all too confident of a smile doesn't falter. Not when she's convinced of how Right and Just her decisions were.]

I've simply created a method to keep the humans, not only in Neo Arcadia safe but all over the world from relics of the past, the older models of Reploids. Their programmings were faulty and it made them harmful to everyone around them. I fail to see how anyone would be displeased when there is everlasting peace for us all.

[zsaber]

You remind me of a reploid I knew once.

...I didn't like him.

[corruptedelysium]

...and who would that be?

[bettertopunchyouwith]

... And how did you create that world?

[OOCH: Oooh, that one! I never read more than the first few chapters... fun as it was seeing Ciel with a machine gun, the goofy tone was a bit too much for my tastes.]

[zsaber]

X. Or should I say, his corrupted copy.

[corruptedelysium]

By disposing of a reoccurring problem through my research. I aim for peace, after all.


(ooc: I admit I'm not a fan for some of the things yet I kept reading in hopes X would appear. Which he did! ...in one panel. As a cameo.)

[corruptedelysium]

You-!

[There's a visible flash of anger at that.]

How dare you insult my perfect reploid! You could never compare to his caliber!

[zsaber]

I wouldn't worry about his caliber if I were you. He's dead.

[bettertopunchyouwith]

Some would burn the world, and claim a field of ashes was 'peaceful'.

[corruptedelysium]

...I don't believe you. It isn't possible for a savage reploid such as yourself to defeat him.

[corruptedelysium]

I would never resort to such violent tactics. I seek to improve the world, not destroy it.

[zsaber]

Believe what you want. I don't really care.

[All the tact, Zero.]

[corruptedelysium]

What a typical response from the one that only knows how to destroy.

/cues up 'For Endless Fight'

[zsaber]

[Pause. Zero seemed to be thinking about something. A familiar voice echoed in his head.

I want you... to protect humans and Reploids. Ze...ro... You can do it...]

That's right. Fighting's all I know. But I only fight for what I believe in. You...this 'paradise' you've made...they're nothing but a sad joke.

cannot unhear

[corruptedelysium]

A sad joke? Impossible! The newer type reploids I've built in place cannot fall to the Maverick virus like older models such as yourself. We would all be in peace if all submit to my rules! For I hold the key to the future for everyone within my very hands! Hohohoho!

[zsaber]

...tch. This is pointless. [Zero's eyes narrowed.] If you're going to make yourself my enemy, I'll stop you.

[corruptedelysium]

Are you trying to impede on the growth of humankind? You reploids are selfish! All you have to do is submit and allow me to reconvert your bodies to fit the acceptable mold. Walking around in your inferior body is simply endangering us all.

[She can huff and puff all she wants but really, without the Guardians she can't lay a hand on Zero.]
