Rising Heat

Klein brought Akasan to an open field, away from all the commotion.

"Before we get this over with, let me ask you something. Why does the Republic treat the Resistance with so much hatred?"

Klein took off his blazer and threw it aside. "The entire point of the war is so that the Seventh Order will protect Britannia when Nyx takes over the planet. If we don't have her protection, then we'll be wiped out too. We're just trying to protect our people. Anyone who revolts against that is the scum of the earth, and deserves to be killed before Nyx does it herself. That's all there is to it."

Klein's body covered itself in a shiny metal that appeared to be copper. Steam started to rise from all over him. "This technique leaves me out of action for a while, so I try not to use it in combat, but something tells me that I'll need it against you."

fwoosh!
