Samandra just glared at Ian, “Why should I tell you?” She asked, taking a step closer to him, “And if you trust Mi-Kal so much, and he trusts me, couldn’t you put just a little trust in me? Because you seem awfully offended that I spared the life of one of your countrymen.” She said

Golgoth sighed, “Alright, I’m in” she said with a grin, “What rifle do I use?”

Shunni looked just as confused as Jonathon and she attempted to activate the device on her wrist, it only sparked.

“That’s an excellent question, unfortunately my dimension traveling device broke in that fight we had in the alley. So I can’t tell where we are.” She said

“That’s an excellent question, unfortunately my dimension traveling device broke in that fight we had in the alley. So I can’t tell where we are.” She said

"I thought you said they forfeited their life when they joined with the Fascists." Ian shot back. "And besides, while I'm loyal to Mi-Kal, I don't trust people based on a friends and family basis."

He looked to Mi-kal.
"Do you think we can trust her after this hypocrisy?" He asked.

New Franco

Clara held up her rifle, covered with stickers, art and various etchings.

"Mine."

She shouldered the weapon and looked down the scope. She hesitated for a moment as she obviously aimed.

"Alright...remember; one shot to dial you in, other one to hit the mark."

She aimed briefly, waited for a gust of wind to pass before she held her breath. Golgoth heard each thump of Clara's heart as she waited.

In between two beats of her heart, Clara pulled the trigger. The (relatively) silent morning air was shattered with a violent crack of a very powerful rifle, and Clara's form, braced for the recoil, shuddered briefly. Clara, still looking down the scope, grimaced.

"Bit low and to the left." She murmured before adjusting once more.

She shifted her aim ever so slightly, held her breath, waited for a gust to pass and waited for a gap in her heart beats before she fired.

Once more, there was a crack, however this time, as if it was a call and response, the faint clang of metal was heard. Clara chuckled, and smiled.
"That's pretty ok for seven hundred meters...think I got close to the middle...your turn."

Dark Gondorverse

Jonathan looked around.
"Under normal circumstances I would have been liable to call you a bit of a madwoman for saying anything to do with "dimension device"...but since we are atop a mountain now, and I daresay this peak was not next door to the pub, I'm inclined to agree."

Jonathan turned to Shunni and adjusted his glasses, not having a small fracture in them.
"Look...you hate me, obviously, and I have reason to not have cordial feelings towards you. However, we are atop a mountain, and if we are alone the wolves will most definately kill us both. Now you apparently hate me to the core for the sins I've commited, and I have little love for socialists, but I'm willing to suspend our little battle to the death to get us both off this mountain, and perhaps get a spot of tea while we're at it."

Mi-Kal glared at Ian, “I would trust Samandra with my life, but this isn’t my fight. This argument is between you two, and if you two don’t resolve it I’ll leave you in the mountains by yourselves.” He said, sheathing his sword and walking back to the car

New Franco
Golgoth sighed, and took Clara’s rifle. “It’s been a minute since I’ve fired one of these. So you might win this.” She said as she took aim and fired…

DING!

A faint clang of metal was heard. “Sounds like I hit it.” She said with a smile

Dark Gondorverse
Shunni let out a sigh, “Alright, truce… I just want to say a couple of things.” She said, pulling her hood down, and pulling down her mask she was wearing, revealing her face and her black hair. “First off, I’m not a socialist, just thought I’d clarify that. Secondly if you get within arms distance of me I have no problem killing you and feeding your body to the wolves. Am I clear?” She said as she began taking cautious steps down the mountain.

“I’m Shunni by the way, just so you know” she said

The Incubus whistled and nodded.
"A man from the red light districts...I know vaguely of this Jonathan individual, some of the Aerlanicans here do speak of him a fair bit...apparently he's quite the celebrity, some sort of hero."

He let out a snicker.
"If rumours are to be believed, one of the Succubi in Matriarch Nelly's mansion has a shrine to him and does some wierd stuff. I mean."

John was looked up and down.
"I don't know what Jonathan Blinds looks like," He said, "but maybe you may have some resemblance, I don't know."

"Ah...you're specialised for pleasure."

Carlson sighed.
"Are you treated well at least? is everyone treated well?"

Tabitha nodded.
"Alright...do you need a hand getting to your bed?"

Nelly nodded.
"And if I open the box on accident, will you at least make sure my girls stay safe?"

Eastrid knelt down and began stroking Corali.
"You are safe, I will take care of you."

(Thanks! I'm glad it works.)

He nodded.
"Some. But not enough that anyone who has seen Jonathan Blinds would ever confuse me for him. Or so I've been told, at least."

Alice nodded.
"Yeah, pretty well. There are some...quirks to life there, some rules we may not enjoy particularly, but all in all it isn't terrible by any means."

"Ah...that is probably a good idea..."

The Royal Emperor sighed.
"As I said. Tell Delegata to talk to me."

Corali immediately froze, and small smile soon appeared on her face. As Eastrid continued to stroke Corali, Corali slowly began to lean into Eastrid.

Ian looked at Shunni.
"I got my eye on you." He said with a growl, walking back to the car.

Clara grabbed the rifle and looked through the scope, seeing how close to the bulls-eye Golgoth got.

Dark Gondorverse

Jonathan followed.
"Jonath...well I suppose you already know who I am."

He walked down the mountain, keeping a decent distance from Shunni.

"So...if you aren't a socialist...what...could I have done to you? Most my actions was rounding up unionists and locking them in prison...or sending them off to the work camps."

There was a forlorn note to Jonathan's voice, one filled with colossal guilt, and a healthy amount of self-loathing.

"Say...you don't...look Aerlanican? What could I have done to you? What...what did I do to you? Who even are you? You seem to know me as if I was an open book, seem to know me better than I, not to mention your technology you wield, which is something out of a Science Fiction serial."

"Do you always ask these many questions?" Shunni asked, annoyed.

"Well, I'd say a situation involving a murderous woman, several trashcans, teleportation and a realtively tranquil mountainside is bound to raise a few of them."

Corali immediately froze, and small smile soon appeared on her face. As Eastrid continued to stroke Corali, Corali slowly began to lean into Eastrid.

(No problem! You really hit the nail on the head there!)

"Thats fair enough...still, some of the boys may be trying to win you over if you offer them a lay with Jonathan Blinds."

He chuckled.
"Funny thing...has Jonathan Blinds ever...been in a relationship with anyone?"

John shook his head.
"Nope...been a bachelor all his life."

"Huh..."

He looked to the distance.
"Well, maybe I can be the first to date the doppleganger eh?"

"Is one of them walking around nude?" Carlson asked, gesturing to Alice's form.

"Alright, Harmony, get her left side."

"I'm on it."

Between the two Succubi, Vara was helped back to her room and laid on her bed.

"If you need anything, call us ok?"

"Huh? How do I do that?"

"Oh...right...you ok if I kiss you for a second? Just on the forehead; I learnt this the other day." Tabitha said.

Nelly nodded.
"Of course, Master...I'll take my leave and get you those girls."

A sourceless gust of wind blew through, and Nelly became tatters of slowly shrinking and disintegrating fabric that dissolved into the aether.

Eastrid, smiling, began to softly sing a song to her, an elegant song. Her voice smooth and entrancing, while the notes eerie, yet beautiful. While the Aerlanic words could no longer be comprehended, they put Corali at ease.

Samandra shook her head and walked back to the car with them. She was still curious as to what the soldiers were waiting on, she wanted to know why.

From the looks of it Golgoth got about as close as Clara did

Dark Gondorverse
“Ok, it’s true I’m not Aerlanican. I’m from Gondor, and yes I do possess some science-fictiony tech, remember me mentioning that my inter-dimensional transport device was damaged in our fight?”

“Yes” Jonathon replied

“Well, I guess you can say I’m technically from the future; a future in your universe where you become emperor of Aerlanica and commit genocide on a mass scale, first in Aerlanica… then all across Augusta.” Shunni said, “I was a member of the Gondorian resistance, and I developed the transportation device myself… I used it to travel the multiverse and found a device that allowed me to reset the universe and I picked a point in time before you became emperor so I could kill you and prevent those atrocities from happening, obviously plans changed.” She finished.

“If you don’t believe me, I can show you some of my memories… just to validate my story, but since you seem open to believing it I’m not going to put you through that torture. Unless you want to.” She added

Clara grimaced and fired again. Once again, there was a clang, signifying Clara's impact.

"Your turn, try to one up me, if you don't I win."

Dark Gondorverse

Jonathan was extremely horrified by what he was told, and looked forward blanky.

"By Augusts beard...I...no I would never...I..."

He stumbled to a tree, took of his glasses, and threw up. He threw up for a considerable period of time before he wiped his mouth, stumbled briefly away, and fell flat in the snow on his rear end, burying his face into his hands.

Shunni frowned; she didn't expect Jonathan to react this way, specifically with horror and physical disgust. It then dawned on her...she picked the wrong timeline.

She had just snatched what was a "good" Jonathan (as hard as it was for her to believe) and removed him from his timeline.

Shunni now watched as Jonathan looked forward blankly, staring off into the clouded expanse of the mountains they found themselves in, numb and shocked.

"I know it may seem a bit hard to-" Shunni said.

"No it's actually quite easy to believe...actually...I...well...thats the horrifying part...I...I can believe that what..."

He shifted briefly.

"Genocide? is that...is that the path Arnold sent me down?" Jonathan rasped.

Jonathan shook his head.
"I refuse...I will not be party to the slaughter of any more innocents...if that is my destiny, I reject it."

He stood up and looked to Shunni (well slightly to the left of her; he didn't have his glasses on). He swallowed, and with firm resolve, nodded.

"Kill me...kill me for all those lives; My life is insignificant to the lives of all of them...Just...make it quick...end it all before it begins...I refuse to allow myself to follow this path, I refuse to be a Tyrant."

Golgoth nodded, took the rifle, aimed, and fired…

She barely missed the target; not that either Clara or Golgoth knew that she barely missed, all that they knew was there was no clang or ding of the metal.

Dark Gondorverse
Shunni looked at him, “While I would love to kill you, I promised I wouldn’t until we get off this mountain and figure out where we are.” She said, “So put your glasses back on and let’s get going, I think this storm is clearing up and I can make out a town below us.” She commanded

Ian remained relatively silent, staring at the back of Samandra's head.

Clara looked to Golgoth.
"Is that a miss?"

Dark Gondorverse

Jonathan sighed, placed his glasses on his nose, and continued to trudge down next to Shunni.

"So...Jonathan Blinds, "Emperor" of Aerlanica...not exactly got a good ring to it, does it." He murmured, still partially going through a state of shock.

Samandra continued to read her book, and every few pages she would write something down in a notebook

Golgoth nodded, “I think so” she said

Dark Gondorverse
Shunni nodded, “Yep! And let me just say that you are the biggest jerk face a**hole ever as Emporer.” She stated, keeping an eye on the city below them.

“It looks like there’s a fort of some kind outside the city.” She said, pointing towards it, and Jonathon saw it as well. There appeared to be a tall fence around a few buildings just outside of the town Shunni pointed out.

"Dare time."

"Could be a prison...maybe..."

"I...I know this means nothing but...I...I'm so terribly sorry for what I was about to do...but...you caught me in a time of deep introspection so I suppose...I suppose now I know what not to do...sorry...I...it's...I've had a long...a very mentally exhausting and...shocking day I..."

Corali began to grow sleepy. She was already resting her head on Eastrid's shoulder, and she had trouble keeping her eyes open. She shifted position subconsciously, curling up in the fetal position with her head on Eastrid's lap.

"You seemed a bit hellbent on reaching the bottom...also...how close are we to the peak? Because if this mountain is as big as I assume, if we're close to the peak, we'll be dying of axphyxiation due to thin air. Fun fact, the first explorers who attempted to clamber up the side of Mount Zenith, the highest and most central peak of Aerlanica, were Hartians who actually overexerted themselves; this was because their large lungs were ill suited for the thin atmosphere at the peak, considering Mount Zenith is about Eleven kilometers above sea level, nine kilometers from base to peak, and the atmosphere is little more than one or two kilometers above the peak. Also, likewise, many people believe Frost-Peak, where the hyper-maximum security prison of the same name, is the highest peak, however it only reaches a modest six and a half kilometers above-"

"my god do you ever shut up?" Shunni asked.

Jonathan shrugged.
"I thought you were a mountain enthusiast...fun fact, did you know the Aerlanican mountains have over ten thousand recorded cave systems within them? Granted, many of them are small and we havent recorded nearly-"

"No more fun facts about mountains." Shunni said.

Jonathan shrugged.
"What else do you suggest we talk about to pass the time? the blasted weather?"

Ernest and John sat up in the bed, covers covering most their forms as they lay there, relaxing in one anothers arms.
"You're pretty good." Ernest said. "Hopefully you had an ok time."

His hand subconsciously rubbed his neck.

After a small period of silence, Shunni spoke, “What initially drew you to fascist ideology?” She asked, sounding genuinely curious, as if she wanted to know more about the man that was behind the monster she always saw in Blinds.

It took some time to get all the way to the top of the Skyscraper, but eventually Golgoth managed to reach the roof.

Atop this wide space was all manner of shattered trees and broken pieces of scrap, as well as large amounts of cloth, awkwardly assembled into a nest. Next to this was a small little cottage, of relatively sturdy make.

However in the centre of this nest was a relatively young looking dragon, with golden scales and about fifty meters from snout to tail-tip, it was folded up and was currently sunning itself. It was a dazzling sight, and the creature's ornate horns and craggy head and snout marked it as a male.

"It's...It's a long story." Jonathan said.

"I've got time." Shunni murmured.

Jonathan paused, and sighed.
"I was...I was bullied a lot when I was younger...I was not strong, and lithe, or...anything for that matter. Nearly every day my glasses were broken by a boy called Carlos Vance and his pack of goons but the head master couldn't do anything because Carlos was the son of a Major in the armed forces, and an influential member of the National Aerlanican...sorry...National Aerlanica Party. My mother had to keep buying new glasses and my eyes are terrible, the glasses were expensive and we barely had enough money as we did and It killed her when we had to debate whether or not we should go without heating, or if we had to cut corners with the food, and when Dad had to work overtime at the factories just to make ends meet...I felt like a burden, I felt powerless, I felt...I felt cheated. I had no friends, I had no one who gave a damn about me, I was left alone.

"Then, one day, I had enough; Carlos Vance punched and pushed as he usually did but then I grabbed a rock, picked it up, and slammed it across his head. It's a wonder he didn't get brain damage but...I was...I was just so full of rage, so full of anger...fed up with everything that I just...I just kept on hitting him with the rock again and again and again...I was ten at the time."

He paused.

"I was grabbed by the Political Officer assigned to the school, who also organised a surprise visit of the Prime Minister, Arnold Harrison...however instead of scolding me, Arnold Harrison just looked at me. Asked me why I hit Carlos Vance, said I was fed up with him breaking my glasses. He asked why I kept hitting Carlos and I said it was because I wanted to make sure he left me alone.

Jonathan paused once more.

"Then he asked if he could call me a nickname...asked if he could call me Jonny...he told the kids to be nice to me, and said he was happy at what I did, and was interested in my development...he was the first person, aside from my family, who was ever kind to me, and who stood up for me. It was because of him I wasn't held back a year due to physical incapability, and...I more or less owed the man my education. I...I wanted to repay him somehow...for...for making my life easier, for standing up for me when no one else did...

"...and so...when he offered me a position at the newly opened Officer School in Aerlanica Citiy...I just...I couldn't refuse...my father wanted to see me happy, my mother wanted me to be able to get a life outside of the cave we called home, and so they got a loan out of the bank and...they paid for me to go.

"After that I yearned to excell...I yearned to excell for him, to repay him, to serve him. Not only that, I wanted to protect Aerlanica, to serve Aerlanica, to stand up for Aerlanica...and so they told me exactly how I could do that...now I see it was all false propaganda and lies and fiction but...at that stage when I was young and impressionable, and the media is censored and you just want to make some...psychopath proud of you you just...you ate it up. I fought Carlos Vance again and again, i fought my peers both in the arena and in the classrooms to be the best.

"Arnold constantly told me to be better, to serve the Party better, and soon I became the golden boy of the NAP...groomed to perfection and on the short leash of Arnold Harrison, his obedient Red Wolf some called me-" his voice grew increasingly bitter, "-and I was...Arnold would yank on my chain and give an order and I would obediently trot along and rip someones throat out."

His face twisted into one of unimaginable spite and anger, mixed with self loathing and guilt.

"it was his orders that made me purge the unions of Twilight's Hollow. With them, I sent my mother and Father off to the Work Camps. My Father was tortured and carved up, my Mother was r%ped to death...and for a time I didn't care..."

He trailed off as he halted in his stride, looking away from Shunni.

"I was a slave to Arnold Harrison, and a slave to Fascism...and it was my stupid, pathetic lust to belong, to protect Aerlanica and to make a narcissistic fool proud, that led me there...they merely pointed a finger at something, said it was the source of the problem, and I merely trotted along, parroting party slogans, before I ripped their throats out. I lost myself, I lost who I was...I lost me and what my father raised me by...It was as if Jonathan Blinds had vanished...replaced by...well...that's not exactly a good idea to say that; It was I who pulled the trigger, who swung the bat, who caused the blade and knife to carve flesh and skin...the blood on my hands...the blood on my hands are inexcusable."

He simply stood there, his voice now stunned and muted, void of all emotion, resigned to the truth.

"I became a monster," Jonathan murmured, "the blood on my hands will never be removed...I am a fraud and a sin upon my family."

He scoffed.

"Jonathan Blinds...General of Aerlanica...grandest protector of the party...what a load of rubbish and propaghanda...I'm a sniveling fool, obeying orders without question, my mind twisted into some...some terrible abomination."

"You know, John...you're pretty cute...there's plenty of boys here who'd love to be with you."

"Like you?"

Ernest chuckled.

"Of course," Tabitha said, "don't worry, this changes nothing between us, or between me and Judy."

Tabitha lent over, placed a delicate and quick peck on Vara's forehead, and withdrew.

"There, all done."
