"I may have been weak before Shaeg, but I am not weak now. I am strong, strong enough to defeat you and save the universe from your threat."

"Then you are ready to kill me, if such a thing is even possible anymore? For that is what it will take Klaeb, nothing short of death can stop me."

Klaeb paused and knew that this was his only option. The idea of killing bothered him, even for a monster like Shaeg, but all the lives that had been snuffed, or displaced  screamed out for vengeance. And if he didn't stop him, what of the billions more that would fall to sate his terrible appetite for power? "Yes Shaeg, I will do what must be done to stop you."

Shaeg grinned wickedly. "You can't even say it can you Klaeb? Say it, tell me you will kill me. Say it or you can't possibly do it." And Shaeg stared at Klaeb fearlessly. "Well little man, you can't say it, let alone do it."

Klaeb looked away, not becasue he feared Shaeg, but because he could not bear to see his smugness, it sickened him that such as he was so sure of everything, while he...while he was not. "I don't have to say it Shaeg, it is enough that I do it, so that the universe is not threatened by you anymore."

"Bah, enough of this talk Klaeb, it is time for sport." Shaeg smiled and let loose his unseen enrgies, knocking Klaeb back into the wall. "Sport for me anyway, it will be nothing but torture for you though. I am true power, unlike Gollus and Melaidin. I will not fall before you."
