3RD PERSON POV
*GRAB*
Steven: *cough* Maybe not. You guaranteed the status quo will go on....for a while longer at least. War will continue as an institution, an industry. Men..will fight for reasons they don't understand....causes they don't believe in.*COUGH*
He coughs up blood, letting it spill onto the ruined ground. Grunting, he musters up the strength to push himself up, staring into Raiden's eyes.
Steven: *cough* But at least....I'll leave a worthy successor.....You. Jack.
Raiden was deep in thought, staring back at Armstrong as he pats his shoulder.
Steven: You carve your own path, use whatever methods you see fit *cough*....... You don't let legal bullshit get in the way. And if it costs a few lives?.......So be it.
Raiden:.............
He scowls but begrudgingly pats his shoulder......
*RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPP*
And proceeds to rip out his heart before crushing it, leaving Armstrong to crash lay on the ground dying.
Steven: *dying* Deep inside....we're kindred spirits....you......and I.......
And with his last breath....he finally dies.
Or does he?
*DRIP*
*DRIP*
*DRIP*
Steven: It's raining?..........Never thought it would rain I-......*alarmed* Wait.....He suddenly looks at his hand that he holds to his face. He easily sits up, shocked by the fact that he could do that.
Steven: What?! I'm alive?! *looks around* Raiden!
But he finds nothing, only an empty street. Just 50 meters away from him, a train suddenly appears out of nowhere, shocking him while crossing the railroads that shouldn't have been there along with everything else.
Steven: What's this? Why am I here?......WAIT!
He frantically puts a hand to his chest, feeling his heart beating.....a heart that should've been ripped out.
Steven: Impossible.......*ponder* What about my nanomachines?
He raises his fist into the air, clenching it. As expected, a metallic susbtance covers his fist and arm.
Steven: *confused* I should've ran out of avaliable energy...I should've died at his hands.
???: Hey remember the ghoul attack on the supermarket?
Armstrong turns to find a couple walking past him.
Steven: 'Japanese? *confused* What the hell?......*raises glasses* Good thing I know quite a number of different languages from my time in the military and Senator office.'
???2: Yeah. Good things the investigators stopped him.
???: So....*grin* Care for som-
Steven: Excuse me!
They turn only to freeze at the sight of Armstrong towering above them.
Steven: I seem to be a little lost! Would you care to tell me where I am?
???: Y-You're in the 20th ward of Tokyo J-Japan.
Steven: Is that so?....*nod* I thank you for the information.
???/???2: Y-Your welcome...
They speedwalk away leaving Armstrong to walk around in circles, pondering.
Steven: *scowl* How the fuck did I end up in Japan? Ghouls, investigators? What the hell are those terms? Am I even in my world? What the fuck is going on?
Confused and dazed, he looks forward, walking through the empty street.
Steven: Maybe I need to find my way back. The war could be still going on despite these.....strange occurrences. Maybe this is all a dream but for now......
Steven: *brow raised* Let's see what's in store for me here.
