(Present)

The man he had saved was called Jake. Will removed his chain and asked him if he could fight, but then saw Jake's condition. Jake was missing an arm and was overworked. Will bolted them to an abandoned farm and spent months taking care of Jake, searching for more escapees and built a cybernetic arm for his friend. Jake was a computer expert and he was able to help Will avoid detection of the Emperor's satellites, and the cybernetic arm made him the ultimate hacker. However, no new survivors were found. And security was tripled globally. As the Emperor sat at his throne, he looked at the image of Will and pondered how he would solve this problem. He thought he had already disposed of him once, a long time ago, but time had not been fair to him.

"Honey, it's time for your evening pleasure…come hither. You wouldn't want to keep me waiting."

And the Emperor got up and smirked. "Of course not, my empress."

When Will opened his eyes, the tears obstructed the view, but he saw his love dabbing his cheek with her dress and shedding tears of her own.

"Forgive me Will. I should never have denied my feelings. I have never felt this way to anyone as I do to you. I told you I didn't need protection before, but I could never want a champion more than I do now. I want you…I love you." And then she kissed him on the lips. She had finally returned his love.

"Whore!" shouted James. "The whole country will know of this treachery. I am to be the future emperor! Mark my words." And he stormed towards the couple.

"No. You will never have that!" shouted Will. James froze as he heard the Italian's voice boom. "YOU CANNOT HAVE HER!" And he stood up and cauterized the wound discreetly with his lightning, leaving behind a small scar. Then, with passion overflowing, Will stood between James and the empress and challenged him to come take her. James withdrew a revolver and told Will to move. But he didn't. Instead, Will drew his sword. James fired. Will, cut it in half with his sword flicker and sent the halves into the wall. (For you physics people, keep in mind that physics don't apply to Will since he is a telekinetic. Thus he can apply forces of any magnitude to any object simply by thinking it.) James reloaded as Will stepped closer. Will towered over the pathetic coward and grabbed him by the neck and knocked the revolver out of his hand. Then, he threw him on the ground.

"Get up and fight!"

James got up slowly He was nervous and scared, but he knew if he didn't fight he would surely die. He threw a punch. Wide left hook, careless. Will used his right hand to block before returning with a jab to James' abdomen, which was quickly followed by a knee to the ribcage and then a sweep with his left leg.

"Get up!" Will shouted.

This time, James did so, but grabbed a handful of powder and tried to blind Will with his next punch, but Will had anticipated this treachery and had his eyes closed the whole time. Sure the punch hit him, but Will's adrenaline and physique prevented any pain and the powder landed harmlessly on the ground. Then, Will launched a massive right hook that broke the remaining ribs. Will picked up James and slammed him against the wall and launched what seemed like a million hornets at this man, but they were his hardened fists of steel. Then he threw him down again.

"Get up and fight you pathetic waste of air."

James did not though. Instead he crawled away in the opposite direction. Will seeing the cowardice stepped on his back.

"You coward. You don't deserve to live!" And as he was bringing down his fist for the final fatal blow, he heard a voice.

"Stop!"

It was the empress. Will immediately stopped.

"Let him go. He is finished. He cannot harm me anymore." Will understood and told James to leave. And he fled with his tail between his legs. Will collapsed, not because he was damaged, but because he was exhausted from such an expression of emotion. He slipped into a deep sleep.
