1 Chapter Four – Battle Against Merchenyl
1.1 Fighting For Principle
Dib prepared himself for facing Merchenyl. "Dib, don't go! Please don't go! She'll kill you! Don't go!"
"I have to. For you. I have to save you. If I don't take care of her you'll never live safely."
"It's too dangerous!" It was too late. Dib had already transported himself to Merchenyl's ship where he stood face to face with her.
"This is the last time you will jeopardize my future! Your reign of tyranny and pollution will be diminished and forgotten long after!"
"Impressive speech, but are you sure you can beat me in a fight to the death? I think not!"
"I think I will!"
"Yes, but can you have that on your conscience?"
"I have to save them…but she's right. I will take a more peaceful route to peace."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You know I'll just kill you now."
"You're right. I will die. I will die because I cannot kill you. I will teach a lesson, as trillions of people from all around the universe watch my slashing. To all of you out there, this is the lesson I teach: Violence isn't right. It's gruesome. To Callista: I love you. I love you and I always will. I am doing this for you. Don't try to save me. That will not work. If I am to go out, I need to do so with dignity, and honor. And what greater honor is there than showing the world – erm, universe – just how bad violence is, and just how bad Merchenyl is. Goodbye. Don't look away. This is my last contribution to you people. Especially you Callista. Don't turn your head, for I've some very important things to say, and emotions to stir. This is important."
Dib looked back to Merchenyl, who had a dagger of some sort, then to the camera. "Though she will kill me, it will be a hollow victory without resistance, and will show just how primitive people can be with even the most advanced technology. And here, I face my death." Merchenyl, not affected by anything he said, charged Dib and stabbed him in the heart with the dagger.
"I…love you…Callista. I…love…you..." Dib's eyes fluttered open, and then closed. It is in this position they remained. Though Dib was already dead Merchenyl stabbed like there was no tomorrow, and if you looked at the expression of every person who witnessed this on those ships, it would be solemn, angry, in shock, or saddened by what had just happened.
Callista buried her face into her hands and sobbed. She hugged Caitlyn, whom had also seen it, trying to comfort her.
Author's Note: I know…so sad. Don't worry, Dib still has a role in the rest of the story.
