[quote=Seiryu] If it was only the signal being blocked, Natsumi would have had nothing to worry about. But reality is never so kind, as a horde of Megillotsnumbering in the hundreds had descended on the station like a pack of locusts, killing everyone they could find inside, leaving the station devoid of life before they mobilised outside and began pushing it out of orbit - straight into a crash course with the Dimensional Barrier surrounding Earth. [/quote] Unfortunately for Feuer, he was smack dab in the middle of the stations falling trajectory. Having been preoccupied with the mu forces that had come to block his path he didn't notice the station until it was to late to escape it's course."That's the station!, it's falling, what the hell could have happened?" she said with fear in her voice. Not wanting to find out Feuer boosted his thrusters to max speed. However, as fast as he was even Apokalypse couldn't escape. The station hit the dimensional barrier covering earth and causing a huge dimensional storm. Feuer and Natsumi were caught in the storm. Apokalypse not having been built for punishment was slowly being torn apart. "Hold on damn you" Feuer said clutching the controls of the mech desperately trying to get his barrings. The pressure from the storm was beginning to pulverize Apokalypse slowing crushing it."Go damn it we've been through worse, don't crap out on me now" he said frustrated. "What are we going to do?" Natsumi said confused. "WE?!!, GOD WHY DID I EVEN TAKE YOU ALONG ALL YOU DO IS NAG" he said angrily. Having said that, the turbulence from the storm had knocked both of them unconscious. Feuer woke up in a strange place. It didn't seem familiar, but he did hear a familiar voice.."YOU HAD ONE JOB" the voice yelled out. Feuer knew this voice, a voice he hadn't heard in years." SERIOUSLY, I ASKED YOU FOR ONE THING, SAVE THE UNIVERSE AND YOU COULDN'T DO THAT!!". As soon as he remembered who the voice belonged to the man appeared before him. "Black Throat? but how, I thought you were dead". "I am dead, right now you're unconscious caught in a dimensional storm where realities mingle which is allowing me to talk to you. But lets not talk about that, lets talk about you letting me down. Booze, whores, and now your machine is totaled and there's some slut you're dragging around with you." Black Throat said in a sour tone. "Hey man, she could have helped me" Feuer tried to explain himself but BT didn't listen. "You had ulterior motives from the start, you never really planned on saving the universe did you? or perhaps you were thinking about uniting it under one power or something silly like that even after I told you what was going to happen." "Look, BT, I" BT cut Feuer off. You know, I thought something like this might happen. Still I believe you are capable of saving the universe, even if you do it your way. That's why I'm going to let you in on a secret. Everything that's happening is happening around earth. Thousands of years ago my people left a weapon capable of combating the threat. It is hidden somewhere on earth. The exact location is unknown but it's somewhere in a country that will come to be known as America. Now I can't tell you where in america, but at the same time I can't tell where you'll be when you wake up either. Should you have the good fortune to wake up on earth, or even alive, go search for it. And here's a secret about the machine. It's powered by love, you'll understand what I mean when you find it. Bye for now" "Wait wh-" Feuer woke up from his dream in the middle of a crowded city. Natsumi still unconscious and Apokalypse in tatters. Dragging Natsumi from the machine and carrying her. Feuer took a look back at Apokalypse before saying good buy to the machine that had served him faithfully for years. [B]Years later[/b] Having traveled with Natsumi for years searching for BT's mysterious machine, Feuer and Natsumi had come to love each other, They were even married at one point. Till one day Feuer and Natsumi stumbled across BT's machine hidden deep under ground.It was a mecha huge."How do you think it's activated?" asked Natsumi. "I dunno, it just says love is sacrifice- power is eternal.". "You can read that?" "Of course I can babe, the writing is from the future, oddly enough.". Feuer examined the machine closer. He opened the cockpit to the machine and got in, however it seemed only the door was operational. Looking around inside Feuer found more writing and a button switch. He was shocked at what he had read and the grief became visible on his face. Feuer had left the cockpit of the machine and walked over to Natsumi. "Is everything alright? she asked seeing his face." Yeah it's nothing.". Feuer had walked her over to the cockpit. "Do you remember when you said you'd do whateverit takes to save the universe? even if it meant sacrificing our lives or the lives of billions?" "Yeah" Natsumi replied perplexed. "Yeah well,It's just you who needs to die." Before Natsumi could respond he shoved her into the cockpit and closed it. He then pressed the button and the cockpit lit up."I'm sorry my love, bu I needed to do this before I could change my mind. The only way to activate it is by sacrificing the one you love and the more you love them the more powerful it becomes." Natsumi was heard screaming from inside the machine. "Look Natsumi, just think about how much this hurts me and what I have to go through. I have to sacrifice at least 10 loved ones for this machine to reach it's half of it's potential. But take comfort in the fact that I'll always love you" he said with tears rolling down his face, not realizing that her screams had stopped a while ago. He opened th mech to find that the interior had completely changed. It was a simlar set up to apokalypse and with Natsumi's sacrifice it now had power. Feuer looked over the machine's specs while sitting in the cockcpit of his new machine and the specs surprised. It was every bit as good as Apokalypse. The thought of the power he could obtain by sacrificing more loved ones excited him. Through the next few years Feuer spent his time falling in love with girls and ritualistically sacrificing them to the new machine increasing it's power. His love for them was real and deep, but not as deep as his current lust for power. Feuer would continue this cycle having sacrificed at least 6 women to the machine. Now back in present times he has set his eyes on new prey.
