“Well… good news is, nobody’s hurt. That’s about the best case scenario nowadays. Do you need something?”
The strike sends a wave of pain throughout Daniel’s body. Daniel grits his teeth as his eyes start to water.
D: “A pledge is not something you can just revoke.” Daniel coughs faintly “It’s a contract you are bound to, for life.”
Daniel smirks weakly.
D: Besides, I have no reason to listen to cowards hiding behind masks. Are you scared of the world’s judgment? Ha… pathetic."

“No. Came here for my sister. Too much has been happening here.”
Laura is staring at her brother, amazed he could have the capacity of worrying for her. Of course all you see is her looking at her brother unamused, but she is amazed.
“Let’s go. Don’t you come here without me anymore.” Gar declares.
“Okay…” For once, she felt like a little sister. Not an older sister.

“Ha! His Grace wisdom knows no bound, his intelligence knows no limit! I, Fran-”
“STOP USING MY NAME!”
“Never!”
Fighting ensues.

The two Francises lay down on the ground, exhausted. Francis is not even saying anythimg about fate anymore.
All they can do is laying down, breathing.

(The responsibility to provide proof lies on the party that insist something is true. Otherwise I have a rainbow unicorn that sings Supercalifragilisticexpialidoucious and you can’t prove me wrong since you don’t have evidence to prove otherwise)
Francises, supporting each other with their shoulder, limp to the car and drives home.
The masked man without the rod laughs.
MM: Clearly you don’t know how this works. You can leave your legend…
MM: If you want to.
Daniel snickers, despite his injuries
D: “Clearly you don’t know what I just said. I can’t and I’m not going to renounce my pledge.”
Daniel maintains eye contact
D: gentler “Samuel. I believe that you are a good person on the inside. Sure you might be a bit arrogant and sadistic but you stick to your morals and defend people. You can’t convert me no matter how hard you try so please let them go. You’ve punished them enough.”
MM: “Let them go…?”
He turns to look at the cages, and sees the other masked man fold his arms.
The masked man with the rod walks over to the cage, labelled “Nezha – Lee.”
He crouches outside it, and looks at the boy.
The teen scuttles away slowly in fear.
MM: “Let them go…”
He continues to stare at Lee. You can’t tell what face he is making, not like you would know with the metal mask.
After a brief moment of silence, the MM with the rod stands up, and takes out a key.
You see the other MM flinch, while both boys in the cage light up, slightly.
MM: “…”
He unlocks the door to Lee’s cage.
L: “T-thank you…”
The masked man turns to Daniel… he looks completely livid.
MM: “Well, I’ll set him free.”
L: “Thank you so mu-”
The rest of Lee’s words are cut off as you hear a loud thwack, followed by an ear-piercing screech.
MM: “Feel liberated yet?”
With each hit, there is an accompanying scream.
MM: “I’m letting him go. Are you happy, boy?”
Another hit.
MM: “Oh Samwuel, you might be awwogant and sadistic… well, let me play the fucking part then.”
Another strike.
MM: “You’ve done no one any favors for coming here. You’ve only made this harder for everyone.”
With each quip, the strikes increase in ferocity.
MM: “The chaos ENDS here. I’m the ruler next in line, and if society is falling apart, I’m going to be the one on top. Nothing will stop that.”
The masked man swings the rod at a breakneck speed, and places the blow square on Lee’s neck. Lee collapses to the ground.
L: “Please… stop. I… revoke my pledge. I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…”
Lee buries his face into his hands.
MM: “…”
The man with the rod takes a step back and takes a look at Lee.
MM: I see.
The masked man swivels towards you.
MM: Do you want to see, Daniel? Observe this model denizen, of our place of rehabilitation.
Daniel winces every time Lee gets hit. When Daniel makes eye contact with him, he gives a look of sympathy
D: “Stop it, you’re going to kill him! Look, I won’t tell anyone alright, and I’ll make sure they don’t do anything bad. Just give them a second chance…”
(All he’s observing is a couple of psychotic fucks in masks 
)
MM: “Sounds like a deal to me. He’s revoked his pledge, repaid his sins… once you can say the same, take your leave.”
The second masked man begins to laugh.
MM: “Will the freak rid himself of his powers to save the others, or suffer the same fate?”
The second masked man cackles.
Daniel scowls at the masked men.
D: “Looks like I was wrong about you. You’re just a spoiled brat without any clear ideals or abilities. Telling everyone else how to live with that big mouth of yours. You must be deluded into thinking you’re some God sent from above to be worshipped just because you’re the son of your father. Absolutely pathetic.”
Daniel summons storm clouds to fill the room, blocking the masked men’s vision
D: “Run Lee! Run while they’re distracted!”
Daniel enhances his body with lightning and bolts(literally) for the door.
L: “I…”
He stands up, but the masked men do nothing about it. They don’t even seem concerned about their vision. Daniel bolts to the other side of the warehouse room… but finds there’s not a single exit to be seen.
(was he not in the god damn warehouse. Cheesy you betrayed me, you said he was in an abondoned warehouse)
Daniel looks carefully for a way out or a weak spot
