"Last I checked, the Brother-Hood's goal was to control the world. This being the best thing for everyone concerned. For the past several decades, the Brother-Hood has consistently fallen short of that goal, being harassed, and denied our rightful place by Toa, Matoran, Order agents, and every other being who consider himself "for peace," "for stability," "for world security," "for the Matoran." What has happened to me? Well in the few moments I gained away from this rig-moral, I observed that we were losing, and were going to continue to lose as long as we continued allowing our own goals to be hijacked by all those who claimed moral superiority. I have been presented with a glorious thing. You know what that is? A reset button. I push the button, and remake the Brother-Hood's image. Inharax made the Brother-Hood into the enemy of the world. I enter and reintroduce it as the defender of the world and enemy to Inharax's regime, and, in so doing, I earn the respect, support, and good will of all those superior individuals who opposed us in the first place. And do you know what I've done? I've gained the favor of the most influential group of Matoran present, the military support of hundreds of Toa, a cease fire with Xia, and the right to openly parade the banner of the Brother-Hood through once hostile circles. I've taken an unstable organization filled with treacherous, squabbling and anarchist members that lay on its death bead and transformed it into an ordered, respectable, and powerful institution that is on the verge of achieving and enforcing the peace this world has lacked for centuries. And peace is what we want, isn't it? You want to be able to govern your territories without fearing attack night and day don't you? You surely want to know that the fortress's and the kingdoms you build will stand for centuries and not be embroiled in constant war?"Charix grows tense, his tone projecting the importance of his words as his gaze darts to every member of the group except Karunax.
"I've created a Brother-Hood that amounts to something. That succeeds. That will grant us...victory. And I will not see it undone. If you disagree with my methods, I will be forced to conclude that you really don't want victory, and are, therefore, a threat to the Brother-Hood."
Charix sends a mental message to Karunax.
"You have in your hand, my brother, the keys to power and influence upon the whole world. The briefing on what I've done has been forced out of me sooner than I desired. To throw this work away would amount to throwing away the best chance we've ever had of achieving, and securing not only our rightful place upon this world, but also ensuring our, and our Brother-Hood's longevity. If we revert backwards and try to force ably seize this world we'll unite it against us and be hunted like rahi. I need your approval, brother. I need the solidarity and support of all our brothers. We must all work together if we are to truly be called a Brother-Hood."
"They were shredded, burnt and blasted to smithereens. By who? Not one of our sisters, except for Toxica, that is, but she's always been a freak, and it wasn't exactly intentional." Jellica mutters under her breath about toxic leeches, before shuddering. If anyone were to take a closer look, they would notice scars upon Jellica. Burn wounds were noticeable, too. Except.. Couldn't she fix her armor? Unless... Her mask, they should notice, has small gaps, for air to get in easier, on the cheeks.. Not the mouth? "You dare think I am a enemy to the Brotherhood, Charix?" She finally asks, cat eyes gleaming. "You would dare imply I am not loyal?" Her voice is soft, so soft, Charix could almost not hear her.
Zenila's thorns begin to sharpen, her breathing coming out in vicious pants. Her eyes darken until completely black.
