He smiled once more then threw me agaisnt the wall, where I crumpled in a painful heap. "But it is over Alex. It is and there is nothing you can do to reverse the effects. Your powers will soon be gone, then your life. If you wish to cling to your life, what's left of it, then don't be foolish...leave the heroing to the more qualified..the more powerful, well, while they are still around that is. You see, this is just the beginning. I am going to rid the world of all of its heroes. And then, I will rule over it. And I couldn't have done any of this without Eddie...or you."
I groaned paingully. I wanted to get up and take him down...but I knew then, that what he said was indeed the truth. I was done as a hero. I still felt the way I had felt since I had become a hero, but it was fluctuating, ebbing. Oh what a fool I had been. Some hero I had been, allowing a danger like him to become this...threat.
And a threat he was...a dangerous threat that had to be stopped. "So you've won today, you've stopped me...but...you know it won't be so easy to stop all the others. Are you truly that powerful?"
"I intend to find out Alex and when I do...I'll be back to finsih what I started here. So by all means, tell your friends all about me...make your plans to defeat me when I return. I am eager to face all of them in battle. I relish it. A pity you won't be around to see it though...well, I don't think you will. It's hard to say exactly how your body will react to the sickness I've given you. Maybe you'll live longer than I had planned. But it won't matter. None of you will stand a chance against me then."
