"And I couldn't have done any of this without you..."
As Dimension Hoppers, each individual should clean up any dimension we task you to. Each and every corner of that place should be cleansed from ANY type of Primordium energy. Failure to do so wil...
Ivy: Why did Barten lie about how you started to escape?
Asellus: What did he say?
Ivy: He...told me he went to protect everyone else while you took care of the guards.
Asellus: Heh...so you did see all of that.
Ivy: It's not like I mind...I've done bad things too but, what was the reason?
Asellus: I'm sure he told you about my main power.
Ivy: That you steal a person's power when you kill them.
Asellus: Yeah, I had to kill them to break that device. I don't care that they were with me throughout all that, I needed my revenge.
Ivy: Hmm, so you'd kill us if it meant escaping this life as well?
Asellus: What? Why would I...
Ivy: Think about it, you left that life where you were forced to do things for others for the same type of life, the only difference is that you aren't being tortured 24/7.
Asellus: This is much better than that past life. How do you come to that conclusion? Just because I killed them to be able to escape doesn't me-
Ivy: How can I be so sure?
Asellus: Ivy, just because I had to kill my own kind to be able to escape from there doesn't mean I intend to do it again. I'm fine with this life, this is a fresh start for me. Plus, I thought you said you liked who you saw.
Ivy looked at him in the eyes.
Ivy: Was there no other alternative?
Asellus had heard that once before, he looked over at Ivy and his view of her changed. His mind went back to before the day he escaped, he saw Grae looking at him with sorrow in her eyes.

He rubbed his eyes and saw Ivy once again. He covered his face and looked down.
Asellus: No...there was no other choice. I wasn't strong enough to kill the guards...I had to start from the bottom. I killed my comrades since...I couldn't do anything else. I'm sorry Gr...Ivy, it's the only thing I could have done.
He uncovered his face and looked away from Ivy.
Asellus: She didn't want me to do that...but I couldn't stand by and let them get away with what they did.
Ivy: What did they do?
He looked back at Ivy, walked over to her, and grabbed her shoulder.
Asellus: Honey, let me explain who she is first. She had black hair and light green eyes. We met when we were...6...I think. We were neighbors until our leaders started the war. Since we were 'gifted' with powers, we got sent into it. We were just 12, we didn't even have a chance to live our own lives. We had to fight using our powers, most of us couldn't even control them well and were executed, luckily, me and her were able to control them well. At the time, we were kinda the best...that didn't help in keeping us safe though. They still treated us like garbage, even when we did all the hard work for them. They moved both of us to a different camp since we were good at what we did, that's when I met Barten. The three of us got acquainted well, I still spent most of my time with her though. The only mistake with that was...we were too open. The guards found out and took us both away. That was the day that...everything happened.
Ivy: What exactly happened? If...you don't mind.
Asellus: Ivy...if we are ever gonna be something...please tell me you won't leave me. Please, I want to know that you're powerful enough to stop anything that comes our way.
Ivy: Ase, I'll take on anything if it means you're safe. I already set my mind to it, nothing will stop me from being with you.
Asellus: Good...I don't want to lose someone else.
Ivy walked into his arms.
Ivy: If you don't want to talk about it now...it's fine. We'll have a lifetime to talk about it.
Asellus sighed in relief and hugged her. Afterward, the two looked at each other for a few seconds and kissed. Through the window, Barten, Jules, and Feyn had been watching the two up to that point.
Barten: Naturally, you leave those two alone for a second and their personal space just stops existing.
Jules: So did you catch what they were talking about?
Barten played dumb.
Barten: I think it was something about kids.
Feyn: What?
Barten: I don't know man, I can't read lips.
Asellus walked out the door while waving bye at Ivy who was inside, he turned around and saw the three of them.
Asellus: What are you-
Feyn: Shit! The gig is up SCRAM PEOPLE!
He grabbed Barten and Jules' arms and ran away with them.
Asellus: What the fuck?
Ivy walked out the door confused from what she heard.
