"No-ple-please, don't-don't do this to me Suryu! Hey, Mien! St-stop him!!" The man pointed his sword at the one pleading's throat. The three men were inside a massive castle, with the windows locked and blinded, albeit a sliver of sun slipping through, to not let anyone see what was occurring. The floor was ruined and cracked, remnants of the fierce battle seconds ago.

Mien stood far from the two, his arms crossed, shadows over his eyes. "It's for the greater good, Kole." He expressed no emotion about what was happening.

"Greater good?! You evil bastards!" Kole released a massive gust of air, blowing Suryu away and slightly blowing Mien's hair. 

"This again?" Suryu coldly replied. Kole pointed his finger towards him. 

"Ack, *cough*" The air around Suryu had dissipated entirely, and he could no longer breathe. 

To combat this, he cut the space before him with Nexus, an ancient sword, and restored the air.

"Those cheap little tricks won't work on me Kole. Why must you resist?" Suryu dashed towards Kole, his fast footsteps echoing in the castle.

He attempted to slash him; however, as he was about to cut Kole, Nexus was slowed down by an unseen force, and the sword's trajectory went backward, piercing his stomach.

"You had more tricks up your sleeve?! Hahaha! Kole, you...fucking bitch!" He pulled Nexus out from his stomach, and this time Nexus glowed and cut Kole across the chest. 

Kole dashed back with one click incredibly fast and said with sorrow, "I can't believe I have to use this." He then whispered to himself, "*sigh*, Klaus, Reina, I'm sorry." Suryu waited in anticipation. 

"Death Cascade." Suddenly, air began to develop around Kole; his hair flew up, and the area around his pupils turned bloodshot. Nearly instantly, he was in front of Suryu and, using his fingers, let out a destructive air blast toward Suryu's body, blowing open a gaping hole in his chest. 

His eyes widened as he realized what had just happened. Kole wasn't done. He let out a flurry of air blasts, utterly destroying the castle and forcing Mien to use his command. By the end of it, Suryu was nothing but a lifeless corpse; the only thing left of him was his left eye.

Instantaneously, Kole fell to the ground, gripping his chest and coughing blood out everywhere. His eyes popped in and out of his face due to the imbalance of the air around him, and his body pulsated violently. 

"Hah, I always wondered where my command was. Don't you think so too, Kole?" A red light appeared, and Suryu's body reattached itself.

Supreme Command 4: Absolute Dominion. Condition: Be killed by a significant opponent in combat. The user must feel complete and utter defeat to this opponent, putting aside all ego. Condition to use---(blank)

"No, no, no, no, no! That is too situational! Damn you God!" Kole shouted. Suryu twisted Kole's head sideways and popped it right off. Blood spewed vigorously from the headless body.

"Your death was not in vain Kole. I'll make sure to put in a good word for you when I talk to Old Nick." Suryu said. Mien's body shook at the sight. The castle was no longer recognizable, and the only thing that stood in the sunlight was a bloodied man and a headless body.

"Let's go Mien." "Mm." Mien replied.
