He appeared in front of Xerxes99 and smashed his foot into his chest, blasting the aspirant backwards as if he had been shot out of a cannon. There was a collective gasp of breath as most of the people around were so shocked by the amount of power Cole had just shown. Hell if he had to be honest he had also been shocked too. But what happened next was even more surprising as the people who had been with him suddenly attacked Cole.
It took only a moment for him to react to it as he threw a [Chaos Blast] into their midst, blasting them all backwards with varying degrees of injuries. None of them were dead, and that was within Cole's purview as the idea had been to inure them gravely, whatever rules governed the Glade had made it impossible to attack a person to the point of killing them, there was sure to be a penalty so all Cole had to do was trigger them to attack him.
He turned his attention to Thunderbolt-Jack who was watching slack jawed with somewhat terrified look on his face. Cole walked towards him, taking slow steady steps as he walked up to the orc. When he was right in front of him, Thunderbolt-Jack squared his shoulders and prepared himself for whatever was going to come next, he did not look like he even wanted to explain himself. But that was understandable it did not seem like Cole was in a listening mood.
[Sin Eater]
Thunderbolt-Jack fell to the ground, his entire body weakened as he let out a pained groan, but beyond that was the fading of his skin color as he became extremely pale, while an intense look of fear appeared on his face. Then Cole let him go as he turned away, leaving the gasping orc behind him as everyone else took a step away from him, from the crowd an arrow came flying towards him.
Cole caught it, before it promptly exploded in his face flinging him backwards and scalding his face. He got up with a growl, and then turned to face where the arrow had come from seeing that it had actually come from the woman that had lent him help, Cassandra was it? He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion before realizing that she had been a part of the group that had been around Xerxes99, plus the person who had asked her to run was amongst the people that had taken a [Chaos Blast] to the face.
"What is wrong with you! Are you out of your mind!" Cole inclined his head to the side as she yelled at him. He took one step and showed up in front of her much to the shock of everyone present, she looked back at him just as fiercely without even a hint of fear on her face. Whatever it was she was ready and prepared to go toe to toe with Cole to stop him.
"Don't do that again, they attacked me first, perhaps if you weren't so stupid you would realize that. As for Xerxes99 the bastard has been a thorn in my ass since this entire event started, And when I decided to trust him and even put my life on the line to save his ass he ran and left me to get tortured over and over again by those fucked up creatures! I don't need to tell you that there's no bloody pain dampener in this bloody game so imagine the shit I've just had to go through and you think I'm in the mood to be reasonable?"
By this point Cole has stepped up to her his head against her's, then he paused having realized that he had gotten a lot closer than he would have wanted. They stared at each other fiercely for a few seconds, and in that moment his heart skipped a beat more times the. He would have cared to admit. She huffed and turned away, going to help her friend as Cole turned towards Xerxes99.
However as he did so Farida came out and stepped in front of him, placing her hands on his chest as she started speaking, not at all caring that he could probably eviscerate her in seconds or that he was absolutely furious at the moment. He growled at her as she spoke, but even at that he still have her a listening ear.
"Peace World Breaker peace! I know you are absolutely angry about what has happened to you but please you are still the mayor of this Glade and you still named it! This can't be the way you would want to lead every single person that is here. This place has gone to shit without you being around and I know you are angry. We can figure out a punishment for them but for now I need you to get your shit together and fucking get this Glade in order or we're all going to be fucked in the long run!"
Cole looked down at her in derision as he said.
"Do you think I care, do you think I give a shit about anybody here! Of which some are total bitches with absolutely no sense of loyalty or at least common human feeling. Why the hell do you think I should give a shit about any of the fools here, especially some who would not think before they act and would attack when they're not supposed to!"
"I don't think you give a shit about any of us here! And I don't fucking expect you too! That would just be stupid and completely naïve the fucking world does not work that way! But what I do know is that you want to win! You want to be the best and number 1 and that means getting to the next floor first! And none of us here can do it without you at the helm!
I've fought you before Cole Night World Breaker! Killing every single person in this Glade is within your purview and you have a mean streak that goes from here to the fucking sun! And you are smart, crazy smart. Even if many of us here have not seen your work in game we've seen this shit you can do in real life, and while I don't believe all that bullshit about super human abilities from the game to the real world I believe in the man who would not hesitate to kill a man who threatened his life and do it in front of the people meant to protect him.
You're the boogey man, and you're not just scary you are resourceful, smart and dangerous. I'd rather have you on our side than against us because frankly speaking without you this bloody Glade would fall by the way side. So you can be a tyrant all you want but I need you here! We need you focused and giving us direction. Figure out a system that works for you Cole….. I'll make sure the rest of us including the fuckers who left you to die conform and follow….. Solitude belongs to you…..so please calm down."
