Kai, Last of the Brunnen-G

*Wozzard about to bomb Dark Lady*
KAI: I will not kill you now.
DARK LADY: Oh, that makes me feel MUCH better.
KAI: But I do not think I can stop him. You do not seem to be as the Wozzard described you.

Gather ‘round the wheel, my friends,
And make amends, and make amends.
All this is about to end.

KAI: Inflicting more pain insults the lost souls, as they are all dead. It cannot be argued that they would get any satisfaction from Stanley's torture!
JIHANA: How dare you speak for the dead.
KAI: I am well qualified to speak for the dead.

The billowing clouds, the burning hills.
The billowing clouds that puff and flower,
Are calling me to an ancient bower.

This solar system is in the darkest part of the Dark Zone. It should have many doorways to the Other Zone... It is an unstable, partial universe... There, I can feel it. We are close.

Some are like Water🌊 some are like the heat🔥
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?🎶🎶🎶

The wheel, it turns, it comes around.
It makes an ancient rumbling sound.

Dr. Funz: Our satellite's drive is powered by a plasma beam from the ion furnace. I'm going to redirect that beam right into your face. What do you think of my plan, dead man?
Kai: Fire away.

Yes, Xev. This is tremendous. Isn't Xev tremendous? Ha, ha, ha, ha...

The dead do not feel pain.

The dead do not make suggestions...normally.

The dead do not feel disgust.

Do you want to do nothing and close your eyes?
You're blind and you're mad if you're waiting to die

Fellows, come, come!
Share with me your tired tales,
And let my windy words fill your empty sails
You traveled across grey hills and brownish dales
Welcome, welcome

VIGO: *sets food* Please, sit, this should ease the pain of your visit here.
KAI: Thank you, but I do not have a stomach.
VIGO: All the more for the lady...

BUNNY: Do you have an empty stomach too?
KAI: I do not have a stomach at all.

STAN: Now that's just great, isn't it? We get to die and Mantrid gets to be the new Divine Shadow?
KAI:No. He will be the whole universe. Every object, all matter, every particle, even your body will be converted into Mantrid drones.

Dinner is cancelled.

The night doth bleed into morn,
Sunlight seeping through the dawn,
Decayed, forlorn.

Zev: Don't tell me you've got a worm too...
Kai: No. I did not turn out to be alive, so they rejected me.

GUBBY: You wanna blast?
KAI: No. The dead cannot get high.

😏

To go beyond these ancient walls,
Go beyond these ghostly halls,
Go beyond - I want more

I know the planet Ruuma. I have the memories of the last Divine Shadow, and he knew the planet well. Whenever a Divine Shadow died, his brain was removed, and his body was sent to Ruuma for burial.

Lyekka: I like Stanley better than I like you. I don't like dead things.

JIHANA: Tell me, what brought you together with Stanley Tweedle?
KAI: We escaped together from the Cluster before it was destroyed.
JI: Did you know Stanley Tweedle before that time?
KAI: No, I was not aware of him. In fact, until very recently, I was not aware of anything.

Do you want to do nothing and close your eyes?
You're blind and you're mad if you're waiting to die

I am good at determining the state of death. It was a required function for assassins of the Divine Order.

WOZZARD: Why did you crush our beloved sister with your bug?
KAI: It was unintentional.
