« Why isn't this working ?! » Bill shouted, panicking. He was trapped, the flames were getting more and more closer. The shadow of the man who was sacrificing his mind to end him suddenly fell upon him.
- Hey, look at me. Turn around and look at me, you one-eyed demon!
He turned around, only to face the cold stare the man was giving him, as he kept talking :
- You're a real wise-guy, but you made one fatal mistake: you messed with my family.
Bill simply didn't understand. Humans feelings were something that seemed so meaningless. Those words were empty to him. And yet…
They made him feel something buried within his soul. Something that he had tried to forget for a very long time. Still panicking, he shouted :
« You're making a mistake! I'll give you anything! Money! Fame! Riches! Infinite power! Your own galaxy! Please ! »
His own words hit him : He was the most powerful being just a moment ago, and now he was begging for mercy to a mortal, a human being ?
The man glared at him coldly. He wasn't going to change his mind.
Bill tried desperately to use every power he had left, trying to escape this fire trap. Nothing worked.
« No! What's happening to me?! »
The end was near. From the depth of his chaotic, dark soul, painful memories were rushing through him. The memories buried within his mind. Memories that he refused to face so many times. Memories he didn't want to see, that he wanted to forget so badly...his world...his family…He was seeing them...He could feel them. His whole life flashed before him. And among those memories...words..no, a prophecy appeared to him. He suddenly knew what he had to do. Without thinking, he shouted :
« A-X-O-L-O-T-L! My time has come to burn! I invoke the ancient power that I may return! »
He looked one last time the person who had caused his demise. As he raised a hand towards him, he called his name :
« STAAANNLLEEEEY! »
The man punched him, causing Bill to shatter into small pieces vanishing in oblivion…
