"This rim sounds really entertaining." The Emperor was still without pants, it unnerved Rolando. Like he thought of himself as an open kind of guy, live and let live, but he also believed in wearing pants. It was just alarming that no one told Emperor Justin pants is normally not optional.
"Did you really hear me tell a story about wading through shit to catch a guy and say it was interesting?"
"Compared to being locked in this room everyday and having to see the world through holo nets and videos of places, so yes extremely interesting." Rolando hadn't thought of it like that, he was about to apologize to Justin for his transgression when he saw a man appear behind the young man with a short sword of some type. Rolando didn't question how the man got there, or why he was dressed with a bunch of tubes connected to him, he just acted. He shifted to the man and then shifted him out of the emperor's chamber. He didn't think about where he shifted him, so showing up in the middle of the space port was a bit of a surprise, it was not a short journey.
"Impressive, you really are extremely powerful." Rolando could see the tubes were some type of blood transfusion system. The man's outfit was confusing. Rolando didn't really get to question the outfit because the other shifter made a stabbing slash with his sword and Rolando had to get out of the way. The sword slashed missed his shoulder by a slight bit, Rolando grabbed hold of him to possibly roll and throw him to the ground, when they were suddenly ten feet from where was, and then fifteen feet. The other shifter had started rapid fire shifting all over the place, Rolando held on as the man moved them around the space port, and then onto the street amongst a bunch of onlookers.
"Stop you idiot you'll go corrupt." Rolando didn't care about the man so much as what happened when the blood corruption overtook him. Almost as in response he saw the blood appartus pumping the into the other man.
"I can do this all day thanks to my apparatus. You may go farther, I can go longer, and eventually I'll be able to get back and kill the emperor you can't stop me." Rolando looked up to the sky, he could sense the other man was about to shiv him with that weird sword of his, but he was too slow and Rolando had a plan already. Rolando shifted into space, just outside of the atmosphere, the other shifter looked at him in panic before Rolando let go and was back on the ground. He waited, half expecting the other man to be standing right next to him or around him, or come at him from another angle. Instead he heard a scream, and then at the last minute the other shifter attempted to shift to the ground, but shifting doesn't ignore physics, his force was still with him and he impacted in a bloody splat scaring the crap out of everyone around them. Rolando looked at the mangled body in a mixture of horror and amusement.
"Quantity does not beat gravity." Rolando didn't know of his fathers habit of having to literally have the last word, but he did get a vague sense of satisfaction at his quip.
