Summary: What if Nathan didn't die, the shooting never took place. The father died and the monster rose, knowing only two things. Keep Shilo near and safe from the world, and Make Rotti pay.
Let the Monster Rise
Prologue: Let the Monster Rise
Nathan felt as the shovel connected with the back of his head and fell to the floor, his hands automatically reaching for his helmet, removing it. He turned his head around and felt shock numb his system as he heard the shovel fall to the floor and he saw the shocked and hurt eyes of his world, his Shilo. He grit his teeth and felt anger course through him.
"Didn't I tell you not to go out, didn't I?" He muttered. He saw the fear in her eyes and it pierced him as she shuddered.
"You did, You did." He had to take a breath to steady himself.
"Didn't I say the world was cruel? Didn't I?" He clenched his teeth as she gulped.
"You did, You did." He turned his head away from her, unable to watch the hurt anymore.
"Then tell me how this happened, what I did wrong, tell me why, Can we just go home, Shi, and forget this dreadful night?" He felt the anger leave and weariness take over. He turned to pick up his tools.
"Didn't you say that you were different? Didn't you?" He heard the accusing tone and he winced as he turned back to her, his heart breaking.
"I am, I am." He looked at her in pain, then back to his tools.
"Say you aren't that person, Say it." He could feel her stares like daggers in his back. He would do anything for her.
"I am, I am." He cried out, ashamed as she was disgusted. He would do anything to have protected her from the truth. He wished Marni was there. None of this would've happened. He put the rest of the tools up and picked up the scalpel, looking at it in disgust.
"Then tell me how to act, dad, what to say, dad, tell me why: Everything you've told me, Every word, Is a lie!" Nathan winced as he felt his helmet thrown at his back. He watched as she picked up his tool chest and opened it next to him, dropping his tools on the ground. He saw her stare at the wall in horror and he felt his heart plummet as he looked at the hologram
"Didn't you say that you'd protect me? Didn't you?" Nathan couldn't rip his eyes from the scene of his old friend's body.
"I tried, I tried" He cried out, and then looked at her, his eyes filled with the pain he was feeling as she yelled at him.
"Is that how you'd help me? Is it?" He saw her accusing eyes as they connected then both looked at Mag's body.
"I tried, I tried." Nathan begged, afraid his heart was about to break.
"Don't help me anymore, dad, You are dead, dad, in my eyes. Someone has replaced you, Dad, I hate you, Go and die!" Nathan watched through hooded eyes as she left the room. Nathan felt the Repo Man re-emerge.
"Didn't I build a house, a home, didn't I?" He heard ghostly whispers respond.
"Didn't I raise her all alone, didn't I?" He recognized Marni's voice in his ear pushing him.
"Then Rotti took her from me, stole my Shilo, He's to blame. Have I failed my daughter? Then let the father die!" He felt the scalpel burn in his hand as what humanity he had left died. His eyes glowed and he bent down to get his mask.
"And let the monster rise~!" He cried out as he put on the mask. The Repo Man only knew one thing, get Shilo back, protect her from the world, and make Rotti pay.
