Blood broke, he started chuckling in the background. Tiger hated him, him of all people. That was unbelievable. Blood listened as Mars asked for forgiveness and tried his best to keep under control.

[color=a0410d]"It was you he hated"[/color]

No, it wasn't true, Tiger didn't hate him. Blood listened as Aqua talked but all he could hear was that one line over and over. 

[color=a0410d]"You're wrong about Tiger"[/color]

[color=a0410d]"It was you"[/color]

[color=a0410d]"It was you he hated"[/color]

[color=a0410d]"Tiger hated you"[/color]

Bloodstone had completely lost it at this point. He had burst out laughing and interrupted whatever was happening at the time. Once he stopped laughing, Blood spoke up among the hugs, a giddy look on his face as he talked, and chuckled slightly as he spoke. [color=9e0b0f]"Tiger didn't hate me, he hated what I became! I never forced him to fight, he could have left at any time but even Tiger felt betrayed when this first started! He fought on his own means but soon felt horrible for letting his anger change him! Tiger didn't want to switch sides because then he'd have to fight even more friends and he knew that if he left, he wouldn't be allowed back. You're right that he wanted to apologize but he could find no way out of where he was. Tiger was in too deep. On top of that, I changed. I felt so betrayed that I turned to punishing those that went against me by experimenting on them! I created horrifying monsters, I hated myself for what I did! Then.... then..."[/color] Blood calmed down a slight bit, regaining his composure, [color=ed1c24]"Then Tiger died and I didn't want to turn him into a monster but I did want him to finally be happy with who he was, so I used the research for my experiments to fix gems, saving Tiger for later on. Once I knew that it would work. Sure it didn't work the way I planned but it worked. If Tiger saw that I managed to change, to change for the better. Then I'm sure he would have forgiven me, it was in his nature."[/color]

Blood leaned back on the wall and thought for a second before beginning to laugh again. [color=9e0b0f]"I will never be the same again but I'm no longer as destructive. Trust me, I could be. I could kill all of you in this room in seconds if I really wanted to!... but I don't. Seriously though, if Tiger didn't like me then he would have refused my request to join me in this mission. Tiger would have never come if he didn't like me. Don't forget who his leader was, don't forget who tried his hardest to make all his allies happy, don't forget who really knew him! All you have are bits and pieces of the puzzle, you Don't truly know him! Do you even have any memories of Tiger before the war! I stood beside him, worked with him, I fought beside him! I knew Tiger as much as one could without being inside his head! You have only seen through his eyes for small moments in time! I'm sorry you have to feel his pain but don't tell me how I treated a gem when you weren't even there![/color] Blood had completely lost it by this point. He slowly turned towards Chromite, [color=9e0b0f]"You had your doubts too when I first started the experiments but once I changed myself and let my experiments fix things instead of break things you forgave me right!? Answer truthfully, I won't hurt you or even send you back to Home-World if you give me an answer I don't like, no penalties at all. I just want to know the truth, you forgive my mistakes and like me now right!? And Tiger would have done the same, he was more forgiving then you were, he would have forgiven me too right!?"[/color] Blood stopped laughing and collapsed to the ground, tears in his eyes. [color=ed1c24]"Right, right? I'm better now right? I'm no longer some crazy tyrant.... right?"[/color]
