.....And not to take away from this petrifying moment, but he is here too. Your former boyfriend. Don't think I'm not above sacrificing him too. If it means getting you to break, I'll do anything.
The Ghost clenches his fist.
Do not hurt them. I'll stand down.
Now that's a good hero. Go ahead and drop that rifle.
Before I do that.... How's your lab?
Tyranny picks up his radio and the Assassin answers.
Hey Gary, you have no idea how badly you fucked this up. We have the hostages, and we're pointing a rifle at all of your little pets and friends you hold most dear. While I hesitated to hold Rat at gun point, my partner here, isn't so easily swayed.
Ghost, this is the Assassin. Everyone is safe, what do you want me to do about Rat? I'd be happy to make a blood stain...
Hold him, do not kill him. However.... Execute everyone else. NO Survivors.
NO!
Tyranny... You really should've looked into who you're fucking with. Did you really think I wouldn't plan for this? Truly your underestimation of me has cost you everything. I'm just going to be the last nail in your god damn coffin.
Tyranny turns to face him, only to have the Ghost wrap a chain around his neck and behind snuffing the life from him.
You were supposed to be a nice guy, a friend he could rely on, yet you let your greed corrupt you. Die well you weak peace of shit.
A red aura began to surround the Ghost as he pulled the chain even tighter. However, the chain snapped, forcing the Ghost to use far more brutal methods. Tyranny coughs holding his throat as the Ghost clenches his fist.
All I wanted... WAS TO BE FREE!
The Ghost lands a punch, then another, and yet another.
I WANTED TO BE LOVED YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT! YES I SCREWED UP SO BAD THAT I ENDED THINGS! YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE HELL I WENT THROUGH JUST TO LIVE AFTER THAT! I COLLECTED SCARS IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THINGS IN MY HEAD I SAW AS MY GODDDAMN SINS! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO TELL ME I AM NO DONE PAYING! FUCK YOU TYRANNY!
Breathing heavily, the Ghost looked down at his blood covered fists. The fire that had been consuming him finally broke and dissolved.
You weren't my penance. None of you even had the malice to overcome my will. Can't you see...
The Ghost dropped to a knee only for Juno to catch him.
Liberty! Take us to the others!
The Automaton scooped up the bloody mess that was Tyranny and her friends. Activating her jetpack, she took to the sky and headed for the base.
