*in the throneroom at the realm of the Amaranthine*

Aeron: *sits amongst a hall of fallen foes, their armor and trinkets mounted on statues*

.... not a foe have I fought that I've undoubtedly lost to yet... I havent reached my peak yet, have I...?

*looks over to a strange gauntlet*

.... hmm...


*upon picking it up, I inspect it*

... Dark Dynamo wanted you so badly... what can you do for me?

*a metallic sheen coats one of my hands, and I stick it in the gauntlet*

... just another superweapon perhaps?... maybe more....

*places it back in it's stasis chamber, as my hand returns to normal*

.... I need to capture Painting Dye, first and foremost... then, I'll come after you. You'll join us, one way or another.
