" One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him. "

  - Socrates

(SIX YEARS AGO: Troyes, France, 11:23 PM)

Several days later, the Rebel Forces had reached another town where there were centuries old buildings. The sun came over to visit in the early morning when they were about to rest after a long evening which the battle had ended both success and failure. The Kree-Lizard hybrid boy had gone to sleep as he leaned on the tree. Suddenly, he was crying as his best friend noticed him and rushed. Jared quickly shook his fellow hybrid's shoulders as the boy instantly woke up in tears.


" Bud, are you all right? " Jared asked with a concern.


" Not good..." his friend sadly answered.


" Are you having those nightmares again? "


" Yeah..."


" Okay, Bud..." the lizard hybrid nodded. " Look, you've been having it almost every night until morning. It's very disturbing for you to have those. You really need some help before it takes you. "


" Jared, I tried to ignore those memories from 682, but I can't..."


" Why? "


" I don't know...They keep running in my head. I can't control them! Why is this happening again? "


" It's very hard for you to experience that, " Jared answered. " I understood it's uncontrollable, but seriously we need help for you. "


" Do you have any news about where the Kree Eternal is? " the boy curiously asked.


" We tried searching for him every town we have been, but all we saw was more wars from those bad guys. I'm sorry, Bud..."


The Kree-Lizard boy sadly sighed and looked above the bright yellow morning sky. He was still hoping to see his hero for a long time who he has been looking for. Jared gently patted his best friend's back and sat beside him. His friend intently looked at him and thought of something to respond.


" Look, Bud. It's just you have been hoping to see him, " the other lizard hybrid spoke. " I knew that ever since, but you don't even know he might be looking and watching at you elsewhere. "


" Really? "


" Let's just hope that you will see him very soon, " he smiled and heard his stomach grumbling. " Oh, crap. It's time to seek for the most important meal. You must be hungry, too. "


" I think so, " the boy nodded and stood up. " Shall we Jared? "


" That reminds me of the old days in Alaska. "


" Right. "


After eating breakfast, the two headed to the African-American leader of the Rebel Forces who was stationed in the other room. Jared and his friend headed to him as Jacob Fury signaled them to enter.


" Sir, you're looking for us? " the Kree-Lizard boy asked.


" Yes, please take a seat. " 

  The two took their seats and exchanged glances. For the three, it seemed to be an important meeting which they had already known. Fury held his device and flashed a picture of a long haired middle aged man. The two lizard hybrid men intently looked at the hologram image of the man.


" His name is Ignatius Knightfall, Caucasian, Forty years of age, and originally from Republic of Remnant. After his mother's death in Canada and his father's enslavement of the Kree and Lizards, at an early age, this boy began to steal weapons from our enemies and made his own brigade against the invaders, " the African-American man explained.


" So, that means he's a mercenary? " Jared asked.


" Exactly, " Fury nodded and continued. " This daredevil's wrath had destroyed every slave den. "


" So, a hostile? " the Kree-Lizard boy added.


" Yep, he thinks that the people from the Rebel Forces or anyone else are doing nothing. He also injured some our troopers, few weeks ago in Strasbourg. "

" Are we going to interrogate or reason with him? "


" If he were willing to cooperate with our terms, do it so. If not, then do what is necessary for the both of you. "


" Yes, sir. "


" How can we find this guy? " Jared asked.


" He wanders around Europe especially here in France since he travels in jet planes and takes disguises, " the leader replied. " Be vigilant and do everything to deal with him. "


" Yes, sir. " the two nodded in unison.

(Later that evening)

" Just let me know, if you see our subject, " Jared spoke overcomms as he was inside the truck and monitoring his friend on the streets. " Make sure you deal with him civilized. "

" Got it, Bud, " the Kree-Lizard boy nodded and walked on the alley. He kept moving his head to and fro to see if there were any intruders from the MTF or the enemy side which he became more vigilant than ever. He headed his way to the town square where he had seen more fourteenth century houses and structures. The hybrid walked farther as he could to find that person of interest.

" I hope he's easy to be dealt with, " he thought and sighed.

Walking around the town streets for some time, he became tired and started to yawn. He was not seeing that person which he had been looking for and thinking that his mission became more pointless. The hybrid saw nothing but the darkness of the night and more silence.

" Crap, Jared is expecting me to find that guy. Is it worth to continue this? I'm getting tired of finding him. Maybe, I should go back to my friend and tell him to discontinue this."

The hybrid's eyes began to close and yawned when someone was ready to attack him. He heard such footsteps and slowly turned around his head. It was the same person who him and his friend had learned from the hologram. The man had dark hair and a set of golden eyes as his hands were both flaring. The Kree-Lizard boy got startled to encounter him and heard his friend's voice.

" Svet, are you still with me? " Jared asked. " Did you see that guy? "

" J-Jared....it's him! " the hybrid loudly exclaimed in reply.

" Who? "

" Ignatius Knightfall! "

" What?! Can you describe him? "

" It's the same guy! He has golden eyes and hands that are both burning! "

" I'm coming, Bud! Don't worry, just calm down and stay where you are. "

" What do you mean calm down?! " the boy cried and almost got burned by his attacker as he dodged. " He's burning me, right now! Hurry! "

" All right! I'm coming! " 

 Ignatius gave him a blowing punch to the boy as he got some burnt scales and fell on the ground. The long-haired man evilly laughed as his victim kept crawling away. He intently glared at him as the other half-Lizard hybrid followed and watched the incident.


" You ordered your men to kill my mother! " Ignatius angrily exclaimed and ignited his both hands. " It's time to face yourself into ashes! "


" I did not kill her! I saw the people who did it! "


" LIAR! " 

The boy received another flaming attacks to the Remnite man. He couldn't escape the burning fury which he felt pain and heat from him. Jared took his pistol from a distance and tried to target Ignatius, however he also received the same attack and got hindered from his shooting. 

" Dammit! " the other lizard hybrid angrily muttered.


" What's the matter? You can't shoot me! "


" Look, my friend and I wanted to know what's going on with you! "


" It's none of your business, Lizards! " 

  " Why are you doing these?! " the Kree-Lizard hybrid slowly stood up and asked. " You're endangering anyone of us! "

" Really, you and your blue-skinned friends made all of the people suffer! You're gonna pay for everything! " 

  " We understood you have been raiding all of the slave dens, " Jared calmly answered. " We're on the same page, Ignatius. My friend and I are not the bad guys who you think of. We're from the Rebel Forces. "


Ignatius ceased his burning attacks and loudly laughed as the two hybrid men became dumbfounded. They waited for him to cease his laughter as the night grew darker than ever. The Kree-Lizard hybrid boy turned to his friend and gave him a suggestive look. Jared nodded, but he saw someone from a distance.


" You people are crazy! " the middle-aged man exclaimed and shrugged. " You're part of those good for nothing heroes! How come?! "


" Look, Ignatius, " the hybrid reasoned. " We're trying to figure out how to help you, but you don't even listen to us. "


" It's because you're too slow to act and doing nothing, but failure. You guys let my mother killed in Canada! Then, my father got captured by the same bad people from another galaxy! You guys are gonna lose for real! " 

 " SHUT UP! " he angrily yelped and flared his hands along with his golden eyes. The Remnite vigilante was ready to attack the two hybrids and flashing the golden radiance along with the flames. The Kree-Lizard boy and his best friend instantly closed their eyes when they heard a gunshot from a distance. Ignatius widened his eyes in shock as he felt blue blood flowing from his abdomen, knelt, and fell on the ground. The two men opened their eyes as they saw some Kree sniper two blocks away from where they were standing. Jared took his pistol and turned to his best friend.


" I'll take that guy down, you save this guy. Got it? " he said.


" Got it! " the Kree-Lizard nodded and carefully helped the man in standing up. 

  " You..." the long-haired man angrily glared.


" There is something I need to fix you, " the hybrid said and took his flashlight which Dr. Vandark had given him back in Ukraine. " Just calm down..."


" WHAT DO YOU MEAN CALM DOWN?! YOU DISGUSTING LIZARD! "


The Kree-Lizard boy released his sunglasses and turned on his flashlight which the Remnite man directly looked at it. Ignatius yelled in pain as the energy from his golden eyes gradually vanished from his system. It took more time which he endured it. On the other hand, Jared Coulson the lizard hybrid instantly shot the male assassin as he fell down. Finally, the three were safe as Ignatius returned his sight and looked at his reflection on the puddle of mud. His pair of silver eyes had returned and felt surprised, but still he was bleeding and falling when the other hybrid carried and helped him to stand up.

 " Why did you save me? You could have let me die here! " the long dark-haired man asked and panted his breath.

" My friend told you we're on the same page in fighting those enemies, " the Kree-Lizard replied. " We won't let you suffer on that. "

 " I....I'm sorry..."


" It's all right, we can get you some help. Just hang-in there. " 

 " Bud, it's over, now..." Jared said and sighed in relief.


" Jared, Ignatius is bleeding. He needs help. "


" Let's get him into the truck. "

  The two hybrids took the dying man into the truck as they drove fast on the streets. The Kree-Lizard boy looked concerned at Ignatius which he saw the same blood color bleeding and stained on his shirt.

" I thought I am the only one who have this kind of blood color, " he sadly thought. " I hope this guy has to pull through. "

(MOMENTS LATER)

Ignatius woke up from a deep sleep and found himself lying on the bed which he got surprised to see. Then, he heard murmurs of people from the outside and thought of eavesdropping. The long haired man tried to sit up and moaned in pain which he was still suffering from the gunshot wound, although he got healed and recovered from it. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door when he heard it.

" You can come in, now. " he said.

The door was opened and revealed to be the Kree-Lizard boy who brought something to eat. Ignatius got surprised to see him and received the food from him. The boy sat down on the chair beside him.

" I didn't expect you're here, but thank you for saving me back there. "

" Hey, it's because you did something good for us, " the Kree-Lizard boy smiled. " I just knew that you're also raiding some slave dens like I do. "

" Really? "

" Yeah, " he nodded.

" Look, I'm so sorry if I almost cremated you to death, " Ignatius sadly sighed and humbly spoke as he felt ashamed to confront his visitor. " I thought you're one of those bad guys who hurt those innocent people. I was wrong. You and your friend saved my life. "

" It doesn't matter to me, but I'm wondering where did you get those golden eyes? " the hybrid asked.

" Oh, yeah..." Ignatius cleared his throat and deeply thought before he spoke. " It was a long story, but I'll give you a gist of it. When I was in my thirties, I got abducted by those blue-skins and made me into an experiment. They put something into my eyes and helped me to enhance it, however I just broke and burned them when I fought back and got escaped. That's the time I retaliated against them. "

" But, you're silver-eyed right? "

" Bud, I'm part Kree, " he admitted and held his glass of water. " But my powers are from my mother who's a mutant, after all. I used them for my own good to fight the bad guys. "

" How did you get your silver eyes? "

" After I left my family and experienced those horrible things, I found the Kree Eternal somewhere in Bolivia twenty years ago when I was about to die in an ambush with those same enemies. He also saved my life like you did and helped me unleash my true power which the Knightfall's Kree side have. "

The boy was astonished to hear the story from the Remnite man as he got compelled to hear more. In fact, he was still searching for the same alien man who deemed to be his savior from his curse. Ignatius took a bite of his sandwich, noticed the visitor's long silence, and snapped the hybrid's both eyes.

" Hey, are you okay?! Hello! "

" Oh, I'm sorry..." he nervously smiled. " Did you say Kree Eternal? "

" Yeah, it's old Methu-Selah. Why? "

" I've been searching for him. He's the one who could help me in this long term problem that I have. "

" That is? "

" Memories from SCP-682, If you see him, can you help me find him? "

" Dude, that was twenty years ago, " the man chuckled and gently patted the boy's shoulder using his left hand. " I don't know where he is right now. But if you have a chance to meet him, you'll be amazed to hear and speak to him. "

" I hope so..."

" But there's something I wanted to admit, " he paused and intently stared at him for a moment. " I really apologize for what I did or something in the past which it pertains to your faction. How can I ever repay you guys? "

" No worries, you're already forgiven, " the boy sincerely smiled and put his right hand on the man's shoulder. " All you have to do is to help us in order for you to redeem yourself. There's nothing wrong about being forgiven and learn from your mistakes. "

" You're right. I'm gonna help you as much as I can. Thank you, Svet..."
