The Emperor sits on his throne as he watches the footage of the check point being destroyed. It was a small one so he didn't mind. He had plenty of soldiers inside to stop the rebels from entering the second ring. What did catch his attention was the sword welding rebel. Your eyes held a certain fire that he had long since lost. The fire of a Hero.

Y/N: Cloak.

There was a black portal then Tyrone appeared. He stepped out and bowed to the Emperor.

Y/N: I want to know everything there is to know about this new rebel. Once we find him, I want him to be brought here. Alive.

Tyrone bowed and dissapeared.

Miles: I guess you really don't need powers to kick ass.

You placed your blades onto the table and sighed. You were going to be sore and tired tomorrow. Your sickness was slowly going away but you still didn't have any powers. You had another vision earlier on the way back but there wasn't much to report. You sliced down a few soldiers here and there but that was it.

Kamala: And I'm telling you that this is insane!

You looked up and noticed she was arguing with Kitty. This was something you had never seen before. You slowly approached them to see what they were talking about.

Kitty: I have access to him. I can kill him without being found out.

Kamala: You're going into the lion's den with him, his generals, and the elites!

Y/N: Who are the elites?

The two turned to you.

Kitty: All the girls who fell for you. They're all so insane that they follow any order you give them.

The girls who fell for you? Did you drove them to insanity?

Kamala: And you want to go in there and kill their master. Do you even know how badly they would shred you to pieces?

Y/N: You want to try and assassinate him?

Kitty nodded.

Kitty: I can slip the blade in and kill him.

Riri: And how do you plan on doing that?

The three of you all turned to see Riri approaching. She stopped and crossed her arms.

Kitty: I can get him alone. When it's just us, I can kill him.

Riri: And how are you going to get him alone?

Kitty lowered her head. You didn't need your telepathy to know what she was thinking.

Y/N: Kitty....

Kitty: If he thinks I'm joining his harem, he'll believe me.

Kamala: Out of the question!

Riri: Your entire plan rests on you sleeping with him?

Kitty nodded. She then looked up with determined eyes.

Kitty: We need to make him pay for everyone he killed. Think about what he did to Danny! To Quentin!

Riri: I know damn well what he did to Quentin. We all do. Their screams still haunt my dreams and I can still see their blood. Don't you ever tell me he needs to pay.

You lowered your head. It wasn't you but it was. This was the grim future you were scared of. You shook your head.

Y/N: I don't think this plan will work. No offense Kitty but, I can handle myself even without my powers.

They all looked at you but you kept your eyes on the ground. You knew the truth. You were skilled in fighting even when you didn't use the powers you had gotten. Kitty looked at you before shaking her head.

Kitty: I'm already meeting with him tonight for a report anyway.

Kamala: This is insane.

Riri: If she thinks she can do it then I'll allow it.

You and Kamala looked at her in shock.

Y/N: You can't be serious.

Riri: It could be the shot we've been looking for. If Kitty really is this confident then I won't stop her.

Kamala: You're going to get yourself killed.

Kitty: It's a risk we have to take.

You shook your head. You didn't know what to say. You just stood up and walked away.

Y/N: I wish you the best. Just, be careful.

You looked at her.

Y/N: Please be careful. Come back to us.

Kitty smiled and nodded.

Kitty: Of course.

You slightly smiled before walking away.

You were laying on one of the bunks the rebels had as you tried to think. Lockheed was asleep on your chest. This future was a loving hell. How could it have turned this bad? What happened for you to go so far off the edge? Where was Molly and Felicia? You rolled to your side and tried to sleep but you couldn't. There was a small knock on the metal frame. You rolled around and saw it was Riri.

Y/N: Did you need something?

Riri: I was wondering if you would like to join me on a errand. No fighting.

You nodded and got out of the bed. You grabbed your jacket and threw it on as Riri watched. Lockheed landed on your shoulder.

Riri: I remember when I made that for the first time.

You touched the jacket. It was Riri who made the original.

Y/N: It hasn't failed me yet.

She smiled slightly as the two of you walked out. You reactivated your mask and followed her out onto the streets.

Riri: You must still have a lot of questions. Sorry we can't answer them all.

You shook your head.

Y/N: It's fine. I know some things are hidden from everyone. I just wish I knew what.

Riri: Me to. The change in you happened so suddenly that we barely had time to react.

You felt Lockheed nuzzle against your neck so you scratched the bottom of his chin.

Y/N: Can I ask, how he killed Quentin and Danny?

Riri looked at her hand sadly. You noticed she had a scar there.

Riri: Quentin was one of the first to try and stop you. The Emperor had just appeared in the room with Viv's head. Your eyes were so dark and we realized you took one of the stones. You had gone insane. Quentin tried to talk you down but you weren't listening. You knocked his head clean off with such force that a piece of his helmet managed to cut some of us.

Your stomach began to turn.

Riri: Danny had a more merciful death. At least, we like to think so. You did that catastrophe move when he tried to challenge you. The only thing that remained was a piece of his mask.

You felt chills.

Y/N: I'm sorry.

Riri: It wasn't you. It was that that monster.

You couldn't help but feel like it was. How could you have done that to your friends? Your family.

Riri: Hey, stop whining. We're about to go to the market and no one needs to be more depressed.

You got out of your head and nodded. You had noticed that everyone who passed by had nodded or smiled at Riri. You were confused at first before you saw a wanted poster of Riri on a wall.

Y/N: You're right. Heroes inspire hope. I can't be adding to the problem.

Riri suddenly laughed.

Riri: I haven't heard that word in a while.

Y/N: Heroes?

Riri: Hope.

Y/N: I thought you were the face of the rebellion.

Riri laughed.

Riri: It seems like it. People looked to me after I gathered whoever was left. Said I was still strong.

You smiled.

Y/N: You are strong. If anyone could led the people, it's you.

You sat peacefully on the throne as footsteps appeared from the darkness. Robbie appeared and stood at attention. You recalled the day you had "recruited" Katie into the Elites. Robbie didn't even bat an eye or say a single word. He actually didn't even look at her. While this would normally be odd, you knew that it was due to the Rider finally corrupting his mind.

He had whatever woman he wanted at his disposal much like Tyrone. Only the elites and Molly were off limits.

Robbie: Kitty is here to give her report. She is waiting for you in your personal chambers.

Y/N: Thank you.

Robbie: May I make a request?

You nodded.

Robbie: I wish to visit Molly. She had asked for a tea party.

You almost smirked. No matter how badly his mind was corrupted, Robbie still cared for Molly like a sister.

Y/N: I shall allow it. You are dismissed.

Robbie bowed and returned to the darkness. You stood up and headed to your chambers. The elites were having their fun with the recent batch of prisioners leaving you with only the Strikers. This didn't bother you. You knew you could destroy anyone who dared to attack you.

You finally made it to your chambers and opened the door. Kitty was a trusted General that had reported the eastern sector. The rebels were able to escape your wrath but she was accurate. She had joined you while the others ran. She was a, a, ally. An associate. When you stepped into the room, you found both of these words to be turning untrue.

Kitty was standing there in front of your bed. She had her hands folded in front of her while she looked at the floor. What she wore was what caught your attention.

A purple set of lingerie.

Y/N: What's the meaning of this?

Kitty: Your highness, I wish to become a part of the elites. If not that then, I wish to become one of your lovers.

You simply looked at her. She slowly approached you and reached for your robe. She quickly undid it and allowed it to fall to the floor. She gently touched your chest, careful to avoid the scar, and moved her hand towards your neck. She slowly lowered your head so that she could kiss you.

She separated from you before leading you towards the bed. She gently pushed your down so that you were laying on the soft blankets. She slowly crawled on top of you and began to kiss the bare skin. You simply watched her. The way she moved was slower and gentle unlike the elites. While they had fallen madly in love with you, you couldn't tell if you returned those kind of feelings anymore.

Kitty slowly made her way up to your neck before staring at you in your eyes. She lowered herself to kiss you. This gentle feeling. This sincere feeling. It started to make you feel like you once had.

While you were distracted, Kitty slolwy reached back to where she had hidden the knife. She slowly removed it before she deepened the kiss.

Kitty: Die for everything you've done.

Your eyes shot open in time to catches her wrist. You flipped her around so you were now above her. You snapped her wrist causing her to drop the knife onto the blanket. She tried to phase to escape but you made sure she couldn't.

Y/N: Your powers don't work on me.

You grabbed her throat with both hands and started to squeeze. Your refused to use your strength for this. No. You wanted to make sure she suffered. She tried to fight back by swiping at you but it was no use. Your healing factor was quick to heal any cuts and she was getting weaker by the second.

Her gasps filled the empty room as she kicked her legs and swung her arms. You squeezed tighter and tighter as her eyes filled with tears and saliva began to drip from her mouth. Her eyes were growing redder and redder as you watched the life slowly drain from her eyes. Finally, a snap filled the room.

Her arms dropped to the bed and her kicking stopped. You watched as the life drained from her eyes. You couldn't hear her thoughts and her heart was silent. You slowly let go of her neck revealing a dark ring covering most of it. You simply looked down at her before your eyes moved to the knife.

Riri: And keep the change.

The booth owner thanked her and handed her the bag filled with fruits. You looked around the market place with great intrest. It was amazing how people could still band together to make something like this.

Y/N: I like this. Almost like a farmer's market but with everything. A lot less hipsters to.

Riri laughed at your joke as the two of you walked down the street towards the next booth. Lockheed was hanging out on your shoulder eating a nut you had given him.

Y/N: I like this place.

Riri: It is nice. We get most of our info here. People like what we're doing. They support us.

Y/N: That's good. I'm glad that even now, you guys are able to do good.

Riri smiled. You looked around and saw that there was a check point not too far away.

Y/N: Have you guy thought about taking that one?

Riri nodded.

Riri: It's too close to the market. We can't put anyone in danger.

She was right. Surely an attack this close would result in innocent lives being taken.

Y/N: Well then....

There was a loud beep and you both looked up at the screen. The scene showed the Emperor standing in front of his throne. The Strikers were all at attention but you noticed something new. In front of the Emperor was a small object on the floor. It was covered with a F/C blanket.

Emperor: Citizens of the New Order, I have some troubling news. Earlier this night I had learned that one of my most trusted Generals was in fact a traitor. This traitor made an attempt at my life.

Riri: Kitty!

Y/N: No.

The Emperor grabbed the blanket and pulled it away revealing something that made your eyes grow wide and your stomach turn. Frozen in a block of ice, was Kitty's severed head. The Emperor sat down on the throne and placed his feet on the ice like some kind of foot stool.

Emperor: Let this be a warning to the rebels watching. Your deaths will not be so merciful.

He then kicked the ice down the steps causing it to shatter. Kitty's head rolled near Robbie's feet but he didn't react. The screen went black and you were left speechless.

Riri: Kitty.

Lockheed whined on you shoulder. You clenched your fists and grittes your teeth.

Y/N: That son of a bitch.

Riri looked at you and watched as your eyes started to change.

Riri: Y/N?

Y/N: I'm going to kill him. I'm going to fucking kill him.

Your eye began to glow a odd purple as you decided your mission. You weren't going to stop this evil version of yourself, you were going to make him feel your rage.
