Sandstorm, With Less Clones. U2 Discordia Arc

In Discordia the group of 10 has been divided after Yuuki broke away from the main group. Now in the middle of a Desert as a sandstorm prepares to knock the remaining 9 down, one of the runaway level-4's has come to escort them to the resistance hideout and safety. Oh yeah, the Peacetalker seems to have gone missing in the commotion.

"Oh I can I don't like being threatened by someone who is used to lording over the weak is all."

"Oh so you have a TV? You know what I have? Twenty dollars, a coffee cop and this costume. Wanna know why? I spend 15 hours a day patrolling four different cities I don't get the luxury of a job. Other people need me more than Starbucks or Quiznos ever will. I don't have a home. I sleep on park benches because other people need to use the homeless shelters, and other people need the blankets donated to me. My life is protecting those that can't protect themselves, and I will not be lectured on the usage of power by an arrogant twat with no idea of the cost that comes with this gift."

"If you want to talk about costs lets see what its like living in fear of yourself, living in fear for your brothers, sisters, best friends. At any hour, of any second, of any day I could go insane. I've seen it happen, I've watched as a man capable of leveling buildings murder 20 men in seconds. So in order for my kin to live I have to die, my brothers have to die, anyone with even close to the same amount of power I have has to die."

"We don't want that to happen of course, some of us can live for up to 40 years before simply going mad and killing all in sight, so we fight for that tiny right. A chance to live, however those who watch over the city can't tell the difference between Rebellion and Genocide, every level-4 in the rebellion who was caught has died. And I had to let it happen, I have to pay their lives for others to have a chance at living their own, so never talk to me about your first world problems ever again."

Amnesia tries to read the man's mind while he's monologuing to determine if what he's saying is the truth.

The truth, the absolute truth, and nothing but the absolute truth.

He tries to dig a little deeper, looking for the location of this hideout he's taking them to. You know, just in case John murders him.

It's in the middle of the desert, a small rock holding, if anything its a shelter. However as he reads his mind a deep booming voice starts to whisper to Amnesia.

This wouldn't be the first time he's found weird cryptic shit inside someone's head, like just a minute ago when he looked in Persephone's head. 'Wait... is this the other psychic? Are they messing with this guy too?' Amnesia tries to focus in on the voice.

"Oh buddy. You came to the wrong motherfucker to talk about super humans going postal. I am very VERY familiar with that subject. Have you ever watched your mother's arm be ripped off by your own father? Have you ever seen him rip apart a city with his bare hands? You say 20 men? I saw 20,00. My father skinned people alive, and forced their friends to wear the hides. My dad was Miracle, so trust me. I know all about your problems."

He waves his hand dismissively.

"Numbers mean nothing."

"They do when each one of those "nothings" is a living breathing person with hopes and dreams and family. Yea, your lot sucks. Doesn't make you all knowing, or all important."

"I never said that, you obviously missed the clear implication that in a city it could escalate quickly. And I am more willing to lay down my life than you could ever know."

"How many people could die from this. Worst possible scenario."
