[b][u]Part Three[/u][/b]
“Here we go,” Skye breathed as she tapped a few more keys on her keyboard. “I’ll stay here for a wee bit longer to make sure he didn’t leave behind any more traps, then I’ll be with you all as soon as I can. Remember we’re not trying to kill him, and be careful. Good luck.”
The blast doors before each hero slid open, revealing a large and circular room with high ceilings. In the very center was the core, a glass cylinder fifty feet in diameter, elevated on a dais and glowing faintly with blue light. Errol stood before it with a wide stance, alone and without his Atoms by his side. His head whipped around to make eye contact with his enemies as each door opened. For a brief moment, concern grew on his face, only to harden again. He raised his chin in defiance, and held out his hands on either side of himself, as though to challenge his opponents.

This is hilarious. You know that, right?
-
I said that.

Blaze stays standing at the door. “No running, Atom boy. And if you somehow make it past one of us? I’ll make sure my girlfriend is waiting at the exit. So let’s just go quietly.”
-
“I was never running to begin with. I intend to leave here with all of my obstacles eliminated. I don’t advise letting your sweetheart follow the same fate.” He glares at Blaze hatefully. On his hands are his gloves, but their disks, fully repaired, don’t have their glow.
-
Blaze tilts his head. “Your gloves don’t have the same beautiful glow as my eyes anymore. What’s up with that? Are you just a boy now?”
-
Edited by Gingiebread: 8/25/2020 2:08:28 AMErrol flashes a half-amused smile, accompanied by a chuckle. “‘Boy’? You should watch your tongue as much as you should your fangs. Why don’t you come and find out ‘why?’”
-
Blaze sighs. “Because I don’t want to escalate things. Skye wants to talk to you, and you should listen. I’m just here to stop you from getting away.”
-
In the corner of Blaze’s vision, he can see Dally trying to get his attention. She seems to be trying to tell him to continue the effort to calm him down. Meanwhile, Errol rolls his eyes. “I’ve listened to enough of her speeches. Let’s just get this over with; I’m tired of the suspense.”
-
Blaze sighs again. “I know someone just like you. They were my friend in the past, like you were to Skye, but went sour somewhere through. Now they’re just....a terrible person. They won’t even give the person talking to them a chance. But you and Skye were close. And while I screwed up to ruin my relationship, something out of your control went wrong to sour yours.....so Errol, just give what Skye says to you a chance. Don’t be another Dink in this world.”
-
When he finishes, Errol glances between him and Dally. It is quite clear to see the conflict in his thoughts as he clenches his jaw, but he then shakes his head. “I’ve heard enough of what Skye has to say. None of it will fix the corruption, and it won’t avenge my father. She didn’t control her fear as she should have, and he paid the price for it! Spare me the frustration and let’s get this over with!”
-
“You act like fear is an easy thing to control.” Blaze says. “It’s not. And I dont know why you think it is. Just calm down, and listen to Skye for a while. You might be happier if you do.”
