Perseus sighed, pacing through the cave. They were trapped and surrounded by Faceless, and demons. He looked at his companions and began to speak. "Look, I.." But his words were interrupted by a crash and the boom of heavy footsteps. He looked up, unsheathing his sword, but a man had already appeared at the entrance. "Atreides sends his vengeance, Avenger." he said, his body entirely covered in armor and a massive sword in one hand.

Kion’s eyes go wide with alarm. He stammers slightly but says. “Stop right there or I - someone - can kill you.”

The Priest smiled warmly. "Of course. I wish you a wonderful life with your husband. May the pages of your story be many."

Malevolence frowned. "Thank you for the strategy advice. However, I have another plan in mind. One that will work better with my employer."

He painfully limped over to his communication device and opened a line to Malan. Master? I must speak with you urgently.

Palsu jumped. "Atreides? Impossible!"

She smiled at him, before returning to Julian.

"You know him." Perseus frowned, placing himself between the soldier and his friends, drawing his sword.

The man laughed and charged at Perseus. Perseus parried his strikes, but the man merely knocked him aside as if he weighed nothing and brought his sword at Kion.

Malevolence grabbed the phone from his pocket. "Yes?"

"What about Moniker? Would you erase her memories of 655?"

 

I suppose if she were distressed by them, yes.

The Priest sniffed. "Only the entire ceremony."

Bacon drooped. "Aw, man..."

"That... I wouldn't blame you."

The phone went dormant, then poofed into mist.

Kion ducks backwards. “Protection!” He surrounds the group in shimmering shields, but that sword looked like it would punch through in a few hits. But he’s so panicked he cannot think of other spells to use.

Rebus sighs. “Very well. Could you at least give me a shut-down button?” 

Rebus is creating a copy of him and having the security system mind control him to direct his Narration. Why he is doing that is thus far unclear, though I do know. 

“The copy of me there has removed his own Narration, and is a sanitized copy, as I mentioned. But yes, he can very much steal Narration.” 

“My plans? Did I not just tell you I would not reveal my machinations?” He raises an eyebrow. “And regardless, if you were to look, you’d see I am no longer a Narrator. All I have is my nanotechnology, teleporter, and a real Narrator me sending me information.” 

"Perhaps then you could... Enlighten me of the Narrators around nowadays."

"Perhaps then you could... Enlighten me of the Narrators around nowadays."

“I will do so. I do hope we can have a pleasant relationship, even if you oppose the original on principle.” ‘Rebus’ smiles at the inkling. “There’re new Narrators around, of course. The real Rebus, the Scribe, Lady Bug, Faunus, Fael, and Tam are ones I can think of off the top of my head. Bacon is still here, as are Subversion, Sequence, and likely others. There are some antagonistic Narrators, namely Atriedies. I’ve likely forgotten someone, but Rebus will not tell me.”

The phone went dormant, then poofed into mist.

"But I would. I hate murder. I'm done with it."

Kion ducks backwards. “Protection!” He surrounds the group in shimmering shields, but that sword looked like it would punch through in a few hits. But he’s so panicked he cannot think of other spells to use. 

The sword broke through the shield cleanly, the tip of it nicking Kion's shoe.

At the sound of his name Atreides appeared, sword drawn.

"Who is Rebus'? What is he?" Note the Rebus' (Rebus prime) "Subversion... Hmmm..."

Atreides sighed, looking around, and grabbed Rebus by the collar. "Why was I named?" He looked around, noting Desolation and smiled. "I know of you. An evil from the ancient past. You drove Thaidakar to his doom."

“Rebus’ is me; Rebus’s personality and resources without Narration or his soul. He - I - did that to prevent your blade from revealing the truth of the machinations he is organizing. I am unsure what I will do with me.”

Rebus’’s collar poofs into utility fog, forcing the hand back. Rebus’ smiles in an intentionally frustrating manner. “Let’s not escalate this to violence. How are you today?”

"Vengeful." he replied. "Moniker, Nameless' little killer, decided to break my blade."

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

"You've saved Tam's life." 

"Only after Stone attacked, and he wouldn't have attacked you if it wasn't for me!"

“Your blade… well, I can help you with that. There’s a monster made of stone, in the Endless Fields, known as the Render. Go talk to it, and it will gladly attack that group.” The real Rebus realize the issue with apostrophes, and resolves to write out prime instead.

"Thanks." he said softly. "How's Tam?"

"I don't think she's physically hurt. Let's go check on her." He stood and pulled Cricket to his feet.

"I already have servants attacking them. I seek something more... powerful."

He walked over to Tam.

“Yes, but I think it would be fair if it would require both of your consent.”

 

”Ok. That’s good - now, does he automatically steal powers? What if I were to hit him with something where the powers were detrimental?”

“A button to shut down the security?”

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

“A button to shut down the security?”

“A failsafe. In case something goes wrong with the Notblade, or someone seizes power, etc. Stuff like that. On that note, I should also add a system to expulsion and replace any corrupt minister of this place I forgot the name of.”

"I already have servants attacking them. I seek something more... powerful."

“Yes… that is not something I myself am allowed to help with. The Render specifically counters Kion, who is being actively nerfed to prevent him from simply using a spell like annihilation, decapitation, or obliteration.”

“Yes, but I think it would be fair if it would require both of your consent.”

 

”Ok. That’s good - now, does he automatically steal powers? What if I were to hit him with something where the powers were detrimental?”

“I suppose a conspiracy between the two of you would be required to actually turn me against me, though I am still slightly reluctant.” 
“I am unsure. It could be a useful contingency to prepare.”
