[IC] - All the World's a Game

Beach

John was tired, tired of everyone bringing up the fact that he had no humanity, that he was at his very core, broken.

John's head snapped over to Renamon so fast that if John was a normal person, it would have probably broken his neck.


"You know what, it's so easy for you to say that. You've always had your humanity. You've never had to lose your humanity for the good of humanity as a whole. You've never had to spend your childhood locked up in a military facility. You've never had to be cut open, then have your insides mutilated to match that of a machine. You've never had to watch as every single person you cared about got ripped apart, mutated, or eaten by aliens that wanted nothing more than to torture and brutally kill you with their bare hands. You've never had to witness thousands of unarmed innocent civilians that you swore to protect, die by plasma and spike grenades. You've never been completely and utterly alone. You've never had to shoulder the burden of protecting humanity to your dying breath. You've never had to carry the burden of knowing that if you fail, humanity would lost to extremist aliens. You've never had to give up every aspect of yourself, just so someone else didn't have to. You've never had to become a destroyer, just to maintain another person's innocence. I kill so that you don't have to, so that you can maintain your innocence and go live your life without guilt, so that you can sleep at night."

"Perhaps if you went through what I've had to go through, you wouldn't be so quick to say that I should forget my past. Perhaps you would be just as f*cked up as I am.", John said to Renamon.

Despite the obvious anger that should have been exploding from his words, John said all this without any emotion whatsoever.

the fox ignored the flying machine and threw a stone hoping it would hit it, not to destroy, but to scare it

She then faced the spartan with no emotional change "So that anger snap you had and tried to hide, how does it make you feel?" the vixen asked not offensed at all

Samus just sighed and let her varia suit disappear leaving her in her zero-suit
(this suit will be her permanent one http://images.wikia.com/metroid/es/images/b/b5/Samus-aran-wallpaper-03.jpg )

The bounty hunter eyed the oncoming quadcopter and shot her paralyzing beam to it not caring at all

John was angry, angry at himself for snapping, angry at himself for snapping at Renamon, angry at himself for showing weakness.

John wanted to answer Renamon's question with a number of remarks.

(How does that make me feel?)

(It makes me feel like pulling out my pistol and painting the sand with my brains.)

(It makes me feel like yelling at you.)

(It makes me feel like attacking you.)

(It makes me feel like attacking anything within my vicinity.)

(It makes me feel like nuking everything after I finish attacking everything in my vicinity.)

(It makes me feel like yelling and screaming until my lungs collapse, until blood vessels start bursting in my forehead, neck, and eyes.)

After a long pause, John spoke again.

"Nothing.", John said, in order to keep himself from saying any of the thinks he felt like saying.

"He is lying to you fox, just hearing that neutral voice probes it" Samus said looking at the quadcopter from a safe distance

"I´ll ask you again John, are you truly feeling nothing?" the fox asked calmly

"Oh a talking drone? just perfect" samus said as only her arm-cannon formed "Maybe he is already crazy and so am I, but aren´t we all crazy? it all ends on the point of view, isn´t it drone?" she said pointing her power beam at the quadcopter
