argentimperator | Mission 13 : [Video] Sunday morning-ish

[Theoretically, with Madara's power broken and he himself sealed, everyone should be back to normal. However, most of 'everyone' does not have an opportunistic alien virus lurking in the back of their minds waiting for a moment of weakness.

A moment of weakness like, say, most of a week spent with their free will suppressed.

So when the feed from Sephiroth's retrieved PCD blinks on, it's displaying a Sephiroth only one person here has seen before. A Sephiroth with a single black wing arching from his right shoulder, the sky as his backdrop, and a look of disdain and simmering malice on his face.]

Hmph. This place... Madara may be content to attempt to rule in Hell, but I am not. Mother is calling me. She wishes for my return. I will go to her...

[Sephiroth swings his sword several times, sending arcs of blue-white energy hurtling downward. While it doesn't show up on the feed, a luckily already derelict building in the city crumbles under the assault.]

If I must turn this worthless, soulless planet into rubble to do so.

I am slightly occupied at the moment... [Yeah, that might have been an explosion in the background there. It wasn't anything important, if it helps any.

So how did that stone work out for you there, Riku?] But you have my attention.

[And he doesn't even flinch.

It missed. Horribly. Thanks for reminding him, you ass.]

Then stop being an idiot and come and talk to me.

[You're quite welcome.]

I am not being an idiot. Mother is calling to me. If necessary, I will tear the city from its foundations and drag those wretched scientists from their hiding place with my own hands.

We can talk perfectly well over the PCD.

And you'll be killed in the process. Or doesn't Mother care?

I'm not that weak. My enemies will fall and I will return to the world I was chosen to rule over with Mother.

Then you're an even bigger idiot than I thought.

[Have an irritated huff, little brother.] You don't understand. You can't, because you can't hear Mother's words. I'll show you when I've finished with this place.

When you've finished with this place, I'll be dead.

[They all will be.]

Think about that one.

[Now excuse him. He had to go keep Sango from doing something stupid before coming to find you.]
