What If: The Devoured Day

"Was it really wise to come alone, Erebus Svilzerian?"

"You're a shadow of your former self, you wretched piece of excrement. I'm all that's needed."

"My power grows by the minute. Soon history will repeat itself, save for one crucial difference."

"I think you will find history is not as much on your side as you think."

"You would claim that? You? Have you ever really considered what you are, Astartes?"

"I care not for your opinion."

"You are a butcher, a monster, a fiend. You spent eons locating the weakest, most vulnerable targets, and then killing them to the last man, woman, and child. But that wasn't enough, oh no. You would terrify them first, rain screams and promises of unbelievable hells down on them, and then descend to do your murdering. You CHOSE to do this. For EONS. For what purpose? For your father? For an Emperor who was so divinely grand and yet couldn't even figure out how to talk to his sons? You really think a few years of suffering and trial makes up for it? You really think you can change? For your choices, Erebus of Nostromo, I know this as surely as the fact you're confused by how long this sentence seems without you reacting due to its psychic nature. Your father was a fool. YOU are a fool. And for spending untold years slaughtering the defenseless, my crimes, as your lot would call them, pale in comparison. IF ANYONE HERE IS A TRUE NIGHT LORD, IT'S ME."

"...there will be nothing left of you but ASH."

"Burn me if you can, Astartes..."


"But nothing can change the past...and the future holds no kindness for our lot..."

  1. Lord: (turns to camera) Do you think this scene should have been included? I was so worried when CW were writing it, but now I'm glad! It's better than some of the other villain's scenes I think.

    Tiamat: At least I'm better thematically.

    Operative One: At least we were committed, it wasn't just a string of pseudo-intullectual drivel.

    Valor: Get on with it!

    Shao Kahn: Yes! Get on with it!

    Big Horde O' Villains: Yeah! Get on with it!
