<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*catches you by your claws*
It's just a small temporary thing!! Don't worry.

Marie: That is true as well.

*Slashes downward, cutting your skin*
So is your life.

Stein: She'll be fine... most likely.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Sven, I disapprove of your actions regarding the innocents of Waternaux. It was murder.

*Sighs*
It was the best course of action. If you had the slightest idea of what was, and still very well could be in store, you would understand tgat the holier-than-thou "save them all" policy doesn't fit in this puzzle. I kill some and save the lives of so many more, or allow the countless many to parish along with the relatively few that were sacrificed. It was the choice Vex or Zach had to make, but their hesitance blew chances of better plans, so I took control.

Celldweller:

Shinji, we have an incoming transmission from Equestria.

Shinji:

...patch me through.

*is connected, a sergeant of the EDB stands in front view*

Sergeant Cornell. What's the sitrep?

Cornell:

.. We lost. EDB casualties have reached an all-time high.... Your father.... He was one of the dead... An entity named Virgil, AKA Trinity, killed him..

Shinji:

*He looks at the screen, dumbfounded*

....Now is not the time for games, sergeant. What happened.

Cornell:

He really is dead, commander shinji. You're the EDB's new Chief of Office.

Shinji:

...

*a lone tear falls from his eye, and hits the ground*

I want you to retreat to our base on dagobah in the outer rim galaxies. We will formulate a plan there. Commander, no, Chief Shinji out...

* cuts of the transmission*

... He's dead... He's actually gone... Forever....

*slumps down, leaning his back against a wall*

Why didn't he tell us, now we have two entities of mass destruction to worry about, and one of the few who stand a chance are dead....

*bangs his fist on the floor, denting it*

I myself have no thoughts on what you did. I do not like that so many innocents were killed, and I do not think I can excuse it. However, I will not omit the fact that an end was accomplished and progress had been made. I will have to think on this further.

It doesn't matter, Sven! The ends don't justify the means; if they did, then we all would be supporting Dark!

There is a major difference, David. Allowing the entirety to be slaughtered while we do nothing to orevent it is the same as killing them, David. It wasn't a a matter of all or nothing... It was a matter of more or less.

But were any yet being slaughtered? Does Evil Sven's group plan to massacre the residents of the IA?

There's no difference; that's exactly what Dark said! The ends never justify the means, and if you have to murder, I'd prefer the alternative end! There's no excuse to destroy innocent lives!!!

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

He plans to kill us, and the innocents will just be collateral damage. Ruining everything he has staged for us will save more people in the end.

*Walks up extremely close to you and speaks softly*
Then if you want to watch every single man, woman and child die at the hands of ES, all because you don't believe in doing what is sometimes required, then just say the word. I'll stop what I'm doing so ES can have his show- just to prove his point. Maybe the lesson that can be learned from that will save more lives in the end.
*Steps back*
Make your choice.

*Without hesitation*
Never kill innocent people; they may someday save more lives than even you. At the same time, do not quit on the cause; you're not omniscient, and you don't know the future. There is always another way. I don't care how cliché it sounds, because all it takes is some thought an analysis of resources.

*Trinity moves forward and the massive bubble of steam bursts, shooting her out if the bubble and at the ship just as it's engines prime. The moment before Trinity impacts the ship Dante smashed out of a port hole and punches Trinity in the face with all her strength. It merely stops her from hitting the ship and stops her forward momentum. Trinity looks absolutely stunned as she falls back to the ground, but her surprise turns to rage as she smashed into the ground and Immedeately begins to sprint after the now moving ship. Dante is caught by a tractor beam and pulled in*
DAANTEE!
*Just as the ship warps out she throws something so hard the ground around her craters and it creates a blue streak across the sky as its warped with the ship.*
