(Peter's Vow for Revenge)

*October 10th, 1920*

*1:23pm*

*John Claude's Office*

*Paris, France*

The office was quiet with the ticking clock as it's only source of sound as John Claude was writing plans for the upcoming battle as he heard a knock coming from the door.

"You may enter" John Claude responded to the knock as the door opened to reveal Natasha who had two cups of tea in her hand.

"Good Afternoon Mr Claude, I have very good news for you today and I know that you're gonna enjoy them quite much" Natasha spoke to John Claude with a smile on her face as she walked over towards his desk and handed him his cup of tea as she sat down right next to him.

"Thank you very much and I'm eager to hear the good news so please share away. I'm expecting to be quite pleased in what you may say" John Claude spoke back to Natasha as he took a sip from his tea as he awaited the news.

"I will ensure that you will be most pleased so I'll start with the first bath of news and It's regarding Mr Ermakov and his training session. He will be awaking in any moment now so expect him any moment now! I also contacted the conductor of this area and he said that the train that's coming here should arrive in the next couple of hours! Isn't that great Mr Claude?!" Natasha explained to John Claude with great joy in her voice as this seemed to have brought a smile on his face as well.

"Well! That certainly is great news! I'm eager to see how much stronger Peter has become as well annnd the other scum are arriving in a couple of hours as well! The final battle is nearly at hand…." John Claude spoke in a sinister tone of voice with a hint of joy as he smiled and stared at Natasha.

"A battle that's two years in the making should prove quite interesting right? I'm sure that you will easily crush Kaede and the others! I'm just sure of it Mr Claude!" Natasha added on to John's words as a loud eruption was heard from the basement in which caused a small earthquake as it managed to knock some stuff over in the process.

"H-He's done! All of your hard work will pay off Mr Claude! Peter is a new man!" Natasha spoke in joy as she held on to the nearest counter in the process as she had seen John Claude simply smile at everything that was going on as the earthquake stopped as well.

*Basement*

Peter Ermakov stepped out of the machine as he managed to walk around the basement with a rather confused look on his face.

"Has it really been two years already? Did I really become stronger?" Peter Ermakov spoke to himself as he observed his hand before cracking his knuckles in the process.

"Time to test out my new power and see if those fools were telling the truth!" Peter Ermakov spoke to himself as he used his right fist and punched the testing machine with a quick session as it completely destroyed it which shocked him.

"Holy shit! I actually managed to get even stronger! They weren't messing around! I really want to test my power against an actual person but I guess that machine would do!" Peter Ermakov said to himself in a joyful tone of voice as he ran up the basement stairs to meet up with John and Natasha.

*Office*

Peter Ermakov walked across the hallway to see John Claude and Natasha sitting on the table with smiles on their faces.

"Good Afternoon, Welcome to 1920. I'm sure you're quite happy with your new strength right? However, don't get too confident okay? You still need to brush your skills and learn a secret move. A move that will counter Bartok's move okay?" John Claude explained to Peter as he took a sip from his tea.

"Oh! We're in Paris as well by the way. We relocated 7 months ago and honestly that was much easier since Kaede and the others would be coming straight for us!" Natasha explained to Peter as well as the man nodded his head in understandment.

"I see, Well I'm ready when everyone is! I can't wait to crush Bartok for what he did to me two years ago with my new strength so that's gonna be something I'm gonna look forward to" Peter Ermakov spoke to John and Natasha as he walked over to take a seat with them.

"Would you like some Water Mr Ermakov?" Natasha spoke to him with a smile.

"Yes, Add Ice as well if you must" Peter Ermakov responded back as Natasha got up and proceeded to walk towards the kitchen area.

"It seems that Kaede has arrived in Paris! Quite the unexpected development!" John Claude spoke to Peter with a smile on his face as he checked his computer.

"R-Really! I-Is it just her!" Peter Ermakov spoke back in a surprised tone of voice as he quickly turned his direction to see that Kaede was seeing the Eiffel Tower.

"What seems to be the issue? Is it regarding Kaede?" Natasha asked the men as she walked over to put Peter's glass of water on the table while grabbing a chair near to her and sitting it next to John Claude.

"We've found Kaede! I want to speak to her right now as well!" Peter Ermakov requested the duo as he took a sip of water from his cup.

"I'm curious what you want to say to her but sure why not? I'll be sure to send you right over to her!" John Claude spoke back as he turned towards his left direction and typed in the location and handed Peter a ring.

"What is this? What's a ring gonna do?" Peter Ermakov asked as he stared at the ring with a confused look on his face.

"It's something I stole from the Doc! It's a device which can take you anywhere if you type the location however since I'm doing the typing here It's simply gonna take you to her for a short time okay?" John Claude explained to Peter as the man nodded his head in agreement.

"Huh? Whatever works for me then! Now It's finally time for me to meet that Kaede bitch!" Peter Ermakov spoke with a smile as he felt a flash of light consumed him before he disappeared along with it.

"And now we watch…" Natasha spoke to herself as she and John Claude watched the upcoming conversation on the computer.

*Eiffel Tower*

Peter Ermakov appeared in front of the landmark as he noticed Kaede a couple feet away from him.

"Hey, Kaede!" Peter Ermakov cried out with a smile as this seemed to capture Kaede's attention as she turned her direction to see the infamous man standing in her direction.

"So, you must be Peter Ermakov right? I've heard many things about you.." Kaede spoke back as she walked closer towards Peter with no fear within her.

"You're prettier than I thought! Too bad that you and your little friends will die once they get here! I'm sure that all of this will go down the drain sooner or later!" Peter Ermakov spat out as he let out a foul laugh in the process.

"Well, We will see about that. You do realize that history is already changing right? The fact that I'm chatting with you in Paris is proof alone of it. You may have killed Olga in the original timeline but please know that I won't allow you to inflict that same type of damage as before" Kaede spoke back to Peter as the pair engaged in a stare off in which made two cats staring off look like child's play.

"You sure do know your history don't you? I'm also aware of history changing as well! That's why I became stronger than ever so I can finally put an end to those damn Romanovs! Everything was going well until Anastasia went into the future and that's why everything is going crazy but I will destroy the Romanov bloodline single handedly!" Peter Ermakov spoke back to Kaede as he pointed his finger behind him.

"Well, I won't allow you to win and what are you pointing at?" Kaede asked Peter in a confused tone of voice.

"You won't notice it so don't try anything that will get you arrested but this whole conversation is being recorded by John Claude by one of his special spy robots or whatever but I ought to tell you this but don't waste your time looking for it or anything" Peter Ermakov said with a smile as he noticed a sword that Kaede had around her waist.

"Wait? Is that the Legendary Phoenix Sword? Nah It's probably some crummy sword like Kazumi's!" Peter Ermakov thought to himself as he laughed.

"I see, Well If John is watching all of this I hope he knows that his plans will come falling down! We will win! We will do whatever it takes for everyone to be happy!" Kaede spoke to Peter with motivation in her voice.

"You're quite annoying with your preachy bullshit but I will allow you to roam freely now however enjoy those final moments of peace because I will slaughter you and everyone that you love like cattle! Remember those fucking words Kaede! I will have you on your knees begging for your life!" Peter Ermakov spat out as he stared back at the fearless Kaede as the pair engaged in another intense stare off as the light consumed Peter once more before disappearing alongside with him.

"You won't win…" Kaede said to herself as she continued to make her way in Paris.

*John Claude's Office*

Peter Ermakov returned back into the office as he sat back down the table to take a sip of water from his cup before putting it back down.

"That BITCH truly doesn't know her place doesn't she? I WILL slaughter those animals with my own bare hands! You won't even need to step in or unleash HIM cause I! Peter Ermakov! Will finally put an end to Kaede and those Romanov filth!" Peter Ermakov spat out in anger as his heart was burning with a new dark motivation.
