Caliber turned, having heard sliding sounds coming from the steep entrance to his hideaway.

"Fiiiiinnnnaaaally,in ppppeeeerrrssson."

He made a face that was both scowl and smirk. Scowl because he didn't want his brother, his succubus Sparkmate, and his tiny waste of spider mesh invading his home. Smirk because he would enjoy torturing them with their past atrocities.

All of their optics widened at his changed appearance.

Valkyrie held out her servo to touch him.

"Uncle…. Caliber?"

He roared and shoved her back to her parents.

"Trrrrryyyyy that again, and I will TAKE your aaaarrrrm!"

"Fission, take Valkyire back to the surface. I'd like some words with Caliber."

Fission did as he was told so, leading his daughter back to the upperground.

"Soooooo, the succubus wants a little chhhhhaaaaat?"

She slapped him across the faceplate.

He blushed, which was hardly noticeable because of his faceplate's now discoloring condition.

"Caliber, I need to know. What made you die inside? What made your perception of reality fragment?"

"Yooou."

P.S. is FFDP getting old? Sorry but they are awesome.)

I remember when, all the games began...
Remember every little lie, and every last goodbye.
Promises you've broke, words you choked on.
And I never walked away, still a mystery to me...

Well I'm so... empty.
I'm better off without you, and you're better off without me.
Well you're so, unclean...
I'm better off without you, and you're off alone...

The lying.
The bleeding.
The screaming, was tearing me apart!
The hatred, deceiving, disaster!
It's over now...
Paint the mirrors black, to forget you.
And I still picture your face, and the way you used to taste.
Roses in a glass, dead and wilted...
To you this all was nothing, everything to you is nothing.

Well you're so, filthy.
I'm better off without you, and you're better off without me.
Well I'm so... UGLY!
I'm better off without you, and you're better off ALONE!

The lying.
The bleeding.
The screaming, was tearing me apart!
The hatred, deceiving, disaster!
It's over now!

Well as wicked as you are... you're beautiful to me!
You're the darkest burning star...
You're my perfect DISEASE!

The lying.
The bleeding.
The screaming, was tearing me apart!
The hatred, deceiving, disaster!
It's OVER!

The lying.
The bleeding.
The screaming, was tearing me apart!
The hatred, deceiving, disaster!
It's over now...

It's over...

Over...

Now...
