Tearen looked over the faces of the Primes that had assembled around him. Not a single one of them was smiling, but at the same time, he could feel a warm sense of camaraderie. Everyone here knew what the others were here for, even Tearen. He had taken great pains to ensure that anyone who walked with him these past days were intimately familiar with the Underverse and the threat that it posed. But, as with all missions, there came a time when it was time to focus on the endgame.
Still, as they stalked the hollow streets of the Megacity, Tearen pulled Gildarts aside for a moment. The fairy tail wizard looked warily at the eldritch human, but relented.
"Gildarts, we need to talk after all of this is over. That presence in your head...it cannot be ignored. If left to its own devices, it will consume that which is good inside of you." Tearen said ina hushed tone. Gildarts' expression became dark.
"...and what would you know about it?" he said slowly. Tearen swallowed hard, but steadied himself with a cool breath.
"...because I have done the same thing to people in the past. I know how it works. I know how to remove it." Tearen said, with a more than noticeable amount of pain in his voice. The wizard growled softly. So. Here it was. The dark reality of Tearen's past that he had been running from since Death Mountain. But...then again, Gildarts himself was not totally innocent of atrocity, witting or no. The Strongest Prime looked up into the bruised orange darkness of the city's night sky, and breathed.
"Perhaps."
That was good enough for Tearen.
"Hey LADIES!" came an abrasive shout from up the street. Strazio stood impatiently by a street corner, staring at the two legends.
Nothing more needed to be said. They kept moving.

Quote:Team Vengeance (Tearen, Gildarts, Strazio) moved from C20 to C2
And, we dream of home I dream of life out of here Their dreams are small My dreams don't know fear I got my heart full of hope I will change everything No matter what I'm told How impossible it seems We did it before And we'll do it again We're indestructible Even when we're tired And we've been here before Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
