As his uncle spoke what could possibly be his final denial of the fact that he was horribly outmatched, Tidus sighed. He really did not want to kill Iosef...he merely wanted him to answer for his crimes. Punishment could be meted out -then-. However, if it came down to his Uncle, or him? He would have no issue taking the older man out. This...this 'thing'...this "Neuroxis", the effects were intoxicating. The power was unbelievable, and it seemingly had absorbed, and incorporated, nearly every system in his armor, and enhanced it. This was made brutally apparent when the Harvester armor activated its stealth system, and tried to disappear from view. Before, Tidus would have had issues finding the other suit. Now? It may as well have had strobe lights, and a sign saying 'HIT ME!' Tidus could see the other as clear as day. The missiles were easily dealt with...the energy building up in his hands was simply directed at them, and took them out of the sky before they were even close to posing a threat.
He hadn't even had to think about it...it just -happened-.
The same could be said about every single punch thrown at Neuroxis. Each one was blocked, or dodged, with extreme ease. It was as if the other suit was moving in slow motion....Tidus could see, feel, taste, and smell every action before it happened. Each stimuli became a trigger to a reactionary movement, instinctual...primal. Right now? Tidus felt like he couldn't be touched....and it was true.
With every block, and every dodge, the black-fanged grin spread further across the face of the abomination. Then, as Iosef threw a hard right at the face of Neuroxis, it was caught, and the creature laughed. The older man tried to free his hand, but to no avail. Pulling him up off the ground, Neuroxis stared him in the face, ice in his black and orange eyes.
"Futile. We warned you. Now? You must be taught a lesson in humility." Returning the favor from earlier, Tidus closed his hand as hard as he could, and he felt the gauntlet of the Harvester armor collapse under the pressure....then Iosef's hand. With a wicked, evil grin, the earlier words spoken were spat back in the elder warrior's face. "There's no shame in crying out. Come now, we know you want to. Let. us. TASTE....YOUR....FEAR!!!" Each of the words spoken in the final sentence were punctuated with a hard strike to the armor covering Iosef's chest. With a mighty roar, Neuroxis whipped the other man over his head, and threw him hard at the nearest car. People were running, screaming in terror as the symbiote stalked down the street toward his foe. He walked slowly, purposefully, knowing that his victory was at hand any time he wished it. Even when the Harvester armor got to its feet, and picked up the very car it had hit, there wasn't a hesitation in the step of the alien creature. When the car was thrown at him, his arms shot up, sending tendrils of swirled black and orange into it's path, deflecting it away through the second floor windows of the hotel to their right.
"You cannot stop us, Uncle. Your defeat is inevitable, a foregone conclusion. You must answer for what you have done to our family!"
Suddenly, the suit went invisible. This wasn't the active camouflage system that was contained in the Harvester suit. This was true invisibility, and it had just -happened-, as if the symbiote =knew= what to do at that exact moment. It well and truly -had- heavily enhanced every aspect of the Reaper scout suit...and taken it to levels that Tidus couldn't have dreamed. He was literally tearing one of the finest warriors Arkania had ever seen to pieces....and he wasn't even breaking a sweat. With a burst of speed, he was again in the dented armor face of his Uncle. Moving behind him, the suit's hands turned again into the tendrils of black, and engulfed the helmet of the heavy suit. Pulling him again into the air, he began to spin him around his head, swinging the heavy suit around like it was a toy. After about five spins, he released Iosef, sending him flying through the side of a skyscraper, and crashing through the building.
This fight was about to reach its climax.
In the back of his mind, Tidus could hear one small beeping, seemingly coming from deep within the suit. It was then that he realized that the emergency transponder had activated upon the symbiote taking over Tidus' body....and it was now broadcasting on all frequencies to anyone listening, unbeknownst to the young man inside. His head was now solely focused on the task at hand.
