In a Blaze of Glory

[Doomguy]

The hidden shadow slipped through one of the gates of the Nexus, between the two white armored men that guarded the way into the city realm of Coruscant. They noticed the ripple as something moved from one side of the portal into the solid white hub. They balked when they did not see anything actually come through, but by the time they looked around the area the shade had already moved on. He had thought to slay the two stormtroopers on the spot, as revenge for the pain their organisation had visited upon him, but he thought better of it.

Kilon, Nerazim of the Zer'atai clan, looked across the seemingly endless, colorless plane. Unlike the prime, who had the Nexus as their entrance to the Omniverse, the secondary was left in awe as he saw the seemingly impossible dimension. It was a passing fancy however, as the dark templar had seem many "impossible" things in his travels before the Omniverse and he suspected it will not be the last one. And in the end, he had no reason to stick around and the universe he had just left was a good enough reason to leave.

His invisible form sauntered across the the almost featureless floor when he heard the screams and panic from the edge of this small dimension. A crowd of people scattered from what seemed to be a large beast, scorch marks and the remains of a burnt body revealed the act that caused the distress. But while the others fled, Kilon walked closer.

He thought to slay it on the spot as it slept, to run his warp scythe through its neck like he had done to many Zerg before. He drew near and held the staff ready, thumb over the activator and how he would make the well practiced strike repeated in his head.

But he hesitated. Why would a beast willingly come here? A number of the gates were guarded, and even if it had wondered in from a gate a natural animal would have attempted to return to its own territory. Perhaps, Kilon thought, that it had been summoned in the Nexus instead.

Which meant it was a prime. An immortal being handpicked my Omni, stronger than many and likely to remember who had slain them. He stayed his hand, better to not bring the wraith of something that couldn't be killed. And yet, Omni would not summon some mindless beast, would he? There may be the chance he could communicate, or at least convince it leave to where it would do less damage

The Nerazim reached out with his mind in order to speak with it. He still hid himself in the void, and his blade ready to strike.

"Awaken, beast. What purpose do you have here?"
