Rebus's sword vanishes, and he tries to catch Savior Complex, stepping into it and betting that it will slow down rather than strike him down.

The Ghost seems amused. "That would be expensive... but as long as you teach the lessons and return the pieces, we can call this even." 

@xinoehp512, I think the time has come for the Ennullers to take the robot Ennuller. 

Savior Complex's momentum carried it nto his chest, impaling him, before vanishing moments later, recalled by Atreides.

Narration should heal him tho

Ah, but that's cheating. 

Rebus falls to the ground, a hole his his chest. "I wasn't even going to kill you." he says, then laughs and closes his eyes. His Plotblade clatters to the ground, and suddenly flashes brightly as Rebus's body crumbles into nanomachines.

Atreides stood there for a second, and raised Savior Complex, triumphantly. He picked up Rebus' Plotblade, hefting it.

The blade is lighter than Savior Complex, and speaks in his mind. Wow, what a savior. You do know what your blade can do, correct?

Atreides was taken aback by the attitude. Rebus is a danger to the Thread. That is what my Blade does, you know. Saves lives by ending others. I mean to save the Thread. What are you?

The blade flashes, and laughs in his mind. You do know he isn't actually dead, correct? You have a poor grasp of this situation, it seems. As for my purpose, I have no reason to tell you. You'd twist it into a mockery, just as you've done to my frankly simpleminded colleague.

He growled. Of course he's not dead. But, I've sent him back. Now he has to regain you. And I don't intend to lose you.

The blade gleams smugly at him. Perhaps. I'm sure it's a great idea for you to bond me.

I don't trust you whatsoever. My destiny is to save the Thread. I'm just keeping you out of reach.

Ah, but what if I'm important? Rebus would have beaten you if he trusted me. While fighting you, he only used me as a sword. I can be so much more.

Because I can make sure you're never wielded again.

The blade continues laughing. Why would I want that? You want me to squander my potential?

What are you then? Tell me, or you're locked away. Forever.

Sure… Let’s say I’m the blade of frustrating stubbornness. I’m not, but you can pretend I am. For instance, I’m going to teleport back to whoever I’m bonded to once you imprison me. That seems pretty frustrating and stubborn to me.

What do you want to happen?

I dunno - what do they usually do with new Ennullers (they told Rebus they'd take it after three business days, which have passed, I think)? It has no name, no context, and almost no idea how to use its powers. 

The orb floats in its faraday cage, lightning arcing to the bars.

An Ennuller appeared.

The orb doesn't move, but lightning crackles into it in a rhythm, creating a buzz that approximates speech. "Hello. Are you here to move me?"

The sword continues chuckling. Tell you what, if you guess right I'll probably let you know, and then things will simply go off ahead of schedule.

He answered the door. 

It was Lady Bug. 

Her outfit was rumpled and dirty, her hair tangled, and her eyes wild. 

Tam's eyes narrowed.

"Don't know. Hopefully nothing. I just want to relax." he said, sitting up. On the bedside table there was an old-fashioned radio, which he turned on. It began playing loud jazz music, which could be heard throughout the house.

She wondered distantly where the music was coming from.

Atreides growled and slammed the sword into the earth, teleporting away, disgusted.
