The Forced Revolution

[Harry Bergstrom]

"Well, Hera... Sorry, but I can't let you take Chaya, I feel obligated to protect him. Plus, he obviously doesn't want to go. So, if you could maybe just leave and we avoid a conflict, that'd be great." Harry says, hoping that this can be solved peacfully, as he doesn't really think violence solves anything.

[Hera]

"He does not belong with your group. We were the ones who stole the taint and created him. He belongs with us. Now come with me Chaya...or, I'm going to hurt...your friends here."

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

"No one ever told me... And no one is attempting to alter your mind either... You're better off than I was, you'll be fine." I pat her on the back gently.

[Chaya]

When she says that she would hurt his friends, Chaya becomes alarmed. He doesn't want Hera to hurt Raz or Harry. Both have been very nice to him.

"So...you created me? You want me to come with you? And if I don't...you'll hurt them?"

[Hera]

"That's right kiddo. So come along."

I hold out a hand towards him.

"As much as I would love to give your religious friends terminal diseases, you should come along with me."

[Harry Bergstrom]

"Relax, Chaya." Harry said, gently pushing him back. "She's not hurting anyone."

Harry pulls out a small mallot. It then grows into a ridiculously large sledge hammer. The Hebrew Hammer, to be precise. He spun it around like a baton in his right hand then took a fighting stance.

"I've always wanted to do that..." he said with a smirk. "Ok, Hera... please. I don't want to have to use this."

[Chaya]

Chaya feels torn. He doesn't trust this woman but he doesn't want to have his friends get hurt because of him.
"I guess I could go along..."
He turns to Harry for advice but Harry has some kind of mallot and appears ready to fight her.

"Don't get hurt, Harry."

[Iris Faust]

Iris genly faked a smile, that was not convincing. Altering her mind, eternal life? It was bad enough being there but forever?

[Hera]

"Oh please. You are no match for me and it is foolish to even try to fight me." I say to Harry.

I concentrate and close my eyes. Two small dark clouds appear around my hands.

[Chaya]

"I think we should run away, Harry. I can...open a dimensional portal if you want me to."

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

I sit down on the side of the bed and motion for Iris to sit next to me. "When I was conscripted I was a child. I was told that I was going to be serving the Fatherland in a way that only myself and my brother could. We were given an implant like yours, except we lost our vision in the operation. That's why I have these eyes... We were both implanted with a program called Fernbedienanlage, and then installed in our Cores... We didn't know that Fernbedienanlage would steal our very souls from us... I have no memory of the 617 years that Zwei controlled my mind and body... You will never have to suffer through that..."

[Harry Bergstrom]

"That sounds really good right about now... how much time will that take?" he asked, charging up the Hebrew Hammer.

[Iris Faust]

Iris sat speechless, she didn't know what to say. She stared back with a blank look on her face.
"I ehm Im sorry."

[Chaya]

"Not long, but it will make me go to sleep for a long time. It takes a lot from me." Chaya concentrates and holds his arms staight out before him. He weaves his fingers in strange motions. Suddenly, there is a tearing sound, and a swirling gray void appears before Raz, Harry, and Chaya. Chaya struggles to keep it open.
"Run! I can't keep it open long!" He shouts as he enters the portal.

[Hera]

Seeing that they are trying to escape me, I send a cloud of magically enhanced ebola virus in their direction....
