Who is 856507?

The Calamity and the Teleporter stood in the fourth dimension, staring at the glowing purple sentience. The sentience's light glared ominously, waiting patiently and silently to be spoken to, like a king, no a god, on their throne.

"Who the hell are you, and what exactly are you planning to do?" The Teleporter asked.

"You already know who I am. I am 856507." The sentience replied.

"Tell us who you truly are." Calamity said.

"You know, I'm quite surprised you got here, this fast. I guess it's time you know. I think it is finally time for people like you to be put in check."

"Put in check? What do you mean?" The Teleporter asked.

"YOU hold too much power for one man to wield. The fate of everyone rests on your shoulders every day, and that is bound to lead to mistakes." 856507 smirked.

"Mistakes? What are you talking about? I save the world from destruction! I protect people's lives!" The Teleporter yelled.

"Not everyone's."

Suddenly, a bright purple flash emanated from the sentence, and the figure of a woman appeared. Her face was scarred, burns covering her face. Her glowing red eyes shone menacingly, emanating power. Long blonde hair flowed down her shoulders and a strong body protected in a heavy plated armor gave this woman a very menacing appearance indeed.

"Do you know what it's like TO DISAPPEAR, ETHAN?!?" The woman said.

"Wha-?!? You're still alive? I thought Seth-"

"Killed me? That's what a person would have thought. No. He just made me stronger. Fire doesn't just incinerate. It allows for forests to be cleared, for a new start to begin. In my case, it triggered a mutation. All that time working with the fourth dimension... all the fourth-dimensional residue left in me... who would have ever thought I would mutate with it? Who thought that the scientist trying to understand the fourth dimension, would have become the goddess of it all?"

"But... why? You made me who I am today, encouraged me to be a hero!" Ethan/The Teleporter yelled.

"Yes, but YOU WERE NOT MY HERO. You couldn't save me when I needed it. It just took me awhile to realize that. And now that I have been watching you for a long time, I know now that I'm not the only one. Who else have you let die in your missions?" The woman laughed.

"I do the best I can."

"YOUR BEST IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT JUDGMENT TO SAVE LIVES, TO PROTECT PEOPLE. YOU DO NOT DESERVE YOUR POWER." 856507 yelled.

"Well, just because I can't save everyone, doesn't mean you have to do something suspicious with Luminosity, whatever that is!" The Teleporter retaliated.

"Oh, you mean to create quantum energy batteries to all? More energy, more power! And the more power they have, the less you do!"

"Dude. You totally stole that from Syndrome." Chad blurted. Everyone glared at him.

"Do you really think that's going to help? Putting more power in the hands of everyone, even those who can't handle it? Even criminals?" The Teleporter asked. Chad shivered at the last question.

"Better than having one man monopolize that power. And that's why I made Calamity." The woman said. Chad widened his eyes, realization hitting him. The Quantum Batteries weren't powering a superweapon. They have never tested a superweapon. The experiment that night was for a different purpose. He WAS the superweapon.

"Go on, Chad, what are you waiting for? This idiot is not going to help you save Mike. His mistakes in the past have proven that. You can trust me. End his terrible reign." 856507 whispered.

Chad looked at 856507. She was smiling. Chad turned toward the Teleporter. Their eyes met. Ethan nodded.

"So you expect me to kill another person, just to save the life of my best friend? Sounds pretty selfish. I don't think you sound like the good guy," Chad said.

"And you broke the law to save your best friend, and to save others. How is this any different? You said it yourself. Sometimes you have to go against the law for justice." The woman said.

"Come on, you said something else yourself," Ethan said.

Chad turned back towards 856507. His glowing green eyes clashed with the glowing red, the light beams clashing like a strange Christmas party,

"That's not justice. That is revenge. You're not thinking straight. Equal power doesn't necessarily mean just power. Equal power doesn't just mean the right power. The world isn't meant to stand equal. I said something once. For every action there is an equal opposite reaction. I take that back. For every wrong reaction, there MY REACTION." Chad said, opening his hands and filling his hands with energy. The Teleporter smiled, before his eyes flared purple and his hands filled with energy. The two heroes stood, facing down 856507."

"Fine. I'll stop you myself." 856507 said, filling her hands with red energy.
