Epilogue
"Well, another attempt failed. I can't say I wasn't expecting it."
"It wasn't my fault!"
"Of course not, my dear. I never said the blame was yours. You carried out your assignments flawlessly. However, our metallic colleague has done a less than satisfactory job."
"He should be punished."
"He has been."
"How?"
"He has been placed in the same cell our friend occupied. In fact, our friend still does occupy it...in hologram form."
"I don't see how that's a fitting punishment."
"The hologram has the exact image and voice of our friend. This hologram will sing his dreadful song about alcoholic beverages on walls for sixteen hours straight."
"Perfect."
"I thought so. Now, we should probably move on to our next attempt. You will not need to leave me for so long this time, as N'Tek is already aware of your identity. You will not have to lie as to which side you are on."
"Thank God for that. You have no idea how difficult it was to act all good for so long."
"No, I don't, and I never expect to have to do so. I am not as strong as you, my dear, and don't think I would survive such an ordeal."
At this they both laughed.
"Now, Max Steel is not aware of this, but he will be joining us soon."
"Explain please."
"The transphasik generator we created not only transferred energy into our opponent, but also the new and improved DREAD probes."
"I thought the DREAD probes were supposed to kill him. How would that make him join our side?"
"Because the function of these DREAD probes have been altered. The only part of Mr. Steel they will affect is his mind."
"I don't believe that's fully functional as it is."
"You wouldn't think so, but through experience I can tell you that Mr. Steel is smarter than he lets on."
"That's a relief."
"Quite."
"Now, what exactly will the new DREAD probes do to his mind?"
"They will...give him a new way of thinking. They will show him that perhaps his rigid sense of right and wrong isn't the only way to look at it."
"I see. Shall I have a room prepared for him?"
"Go ahead. He should be along very shortly."
"And Psycho?"
"He still has six hours to go. His newfound hatred of Mr. Steel should be very interesting once Steel arrives here. I have a feeling we may be able to watch some pretty interesting sparring matches."
Yeah, it is VERY short, but it's an epilogue, what do you expect? Wow, I can't believe that I am actually done with my first fanfic! Woohoo! This was a long one. Ciao!
