Was it all just a dream? A hallucination? Or was it something more....sinister? Wasp. What was it doing? Would it drive him over the edge? Would it kill him? He could only help for the best....
Python walked down the street, Peace in his hand.
[i]Why is she here?
Weren't all the civilians evacuated?
They'd be dead either way...[/i]
He pointed and shot at at a wall, knocking it down quickly. He didn't know why he did that, but the urge had taken over. Python quickly holsters the massive weapon and returned to walking. He checked his codex again, reading through the old files as he sat down next to a lone-standing wall of a collapsed building.
Maybe a shop? A house? Did it matter anymore?
His comms were open, he had done that on purpose in case someone needed to contact him.
That woman, Anasi, what was she doing here? She definitely had something....odd about her. Was she just his imagination? Too long without a bacta tank rest, way too long, but he'd been too busy to rest or sleep. He had work to do, yet he sat there, reading through the codex in the Empire ruins.
[i]Wasp....it's just like Corruption, you'll kill someone close again.
No, I'll stay under control. I need to bring the team here and keep my codex safe...[/i]
[spoiler]Open for comms, unless you have a good reason to come in actual contact with him
Jenny, this is primarily for ye[/spoiler]

[spoiler]To bad there is no one else...[/spoiler] [b]The feeling again, it invaded his mind He blinked, and before him stood his wife, A'karo, her bloodied stomach and pale face where the first noticeable She mouthed one word[/b] [i]"Why...?"[/i]
-
He shook his head, blinking multiple times in an attempt to clear the hallucination. After seeing it was failing, he spoke to the apparition. "I'm sorry...." Python stood, walking to the hallucination.
-
[b]She flickered, transforming into a field of butterflies, fluttering around and past him They reassembled behind him Once more, his wife's body was there[/b] [i]"I loved you..."[/i]
-
"I loved you more than you could ever imagine...." He turns toward her, a sad look on his face. "...but it wasn't me. It was Corruption. Babe, I never would've hurt you, ever."
-
[i]"I trusted you..."[/i] [b]She gave him a blank stare[/b]
-
He started to walk towards her, the sad look only getting more intense and depressed. "I know....and you should. I trusted you too."
-
[b]She once more disperses in a flight of butterflies, appearing behind him again[/b] [i]"Just when I had the kids..."[/i]
-
He shook his head again. "No! This isn't real!" He buried his head in his hands, looking down.
-
[b]The voices seemed to be all around him Butterflies once more engulfed his dead wife, and in their place, stood Jupiter, her burnt and singed corpse stared down at him[/b] [i]"You caused it all..."[/i]
-
He shakes his head again. "No...no! I didn't cause this....this was caused by pure chance. More of my bullshit luck just -blam!-ing up everyone else's lives along with mine!" He turns, angry with himself, what he's done and whatever....or whoever was doing this.
-
[i]"You started it all..."[/i] [b]Her blank stare glared at him... If only he knew she was alive...[/b]
-
He shook his head, pulling his pistol and turning, unloading multiple rounds at the hallucination. "No! It was you! You're the one that started the Corruption!"
-
[b]They faze through[/b] [i]"You killed me...."[/i]
-
"And I'll do it again....now leave me alone."
-
[spoiler]well shit[/spoiler] [i]"You killed all of us..."[/i] [b]More butterflies are seen, people begin appearing Everyone he he ever killed, starting with his closest allies and friends And they all muttered one sentence:[/b] [i]"You killed us..."[/i]
-
He put his hands on either side of his head, shaking. "No....no, no, no no no...NO NO NO NO!" His mighty cannons roared to life as they began to spray at the people around him.
-
[b]The faxed through the apparitions Hey continued their chant, it drilled into his head He murdered millions...[/b]
-
He looked around at them, shaking his head. "No....you made me do that! My blood is on your hands because you made me kill you! Leave me alone! Goddammit, shut up!"
-
[b]They kept going...[/b]
-
He sat down there, in the middle of the road. He sat there doing nothing. He was looking at the apparitions, waiting for them to go away. He spoke quietly to himself. "Just visions....all visions. It's not real..."
-
[b]They kept going Each one of them stepping closer every time they say it, he saw A'karo infront of him, his own kids as well Jupiter was off to the right General Hill was left of him They kept going...[/b]
-
He looked....broken. Shut down. Mentally at least. He was shaking, looking around, rocking back and forth as he sat there. "None of it's real...."
-
[spoiler]yee[/spoiler] [b]They swarmed him And he felt them touch him, a mind shattering experience, to feel the dead touch him They continued their chant, standing around him in a circle[/b]
-
He sat there, unmoving. His mind was being broken. He couldn't move, think or do anything.
-
[b]The process continues, the chant was drilled into his head He killed them all...[/b]
